Movie themed costume

[yehongxiang]

I have a dinner tomorrow and the theme is 'Movies/Hollywood'. I haven't had time to prepare anything but for some strange reason people are expecting me to dress up.

Do my fellow TB-ers have any interesting costume ideas to share? Preferably something easy to get out/prepare of since I'm going on stage later that night to perform as well.

If it helps, I'm a bespectacled, 6 ft tall and skinny Chinese guy.

I loved Gedde Watanabe in the Weird Al movie UHF.

It may not be well known enough to rate as a costume, but if you can come up with a karate uniform, I think you're in! Easy to play while wearing too!

Dress normally, say you're a Cylon from the new Battlestar Galactica.

I agree completely.

You should dress as this one:

 

[Lester4string]

Black leather /pleather / lycra ala "the Matrix"
Dressing as a fraking toaster is good too, especially if you can pull off the "number 6" look as above (jk)

 

[Din Of Win]

Humongus from The Road Warrior.

I used to dress like Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" every Halloween until that jerk Matt Groening dressed Bart Simpson up that way one year and ruined it for me.

I'm thinking that you can do any number of Jackie Chan impressions? THAT would be cool.
Either that or just go in a big diaper and say that you represent some sort of bizarre fetish movie?

LOL I was gonna say Long Duc Dong haha

Dress Samurai and say you're Toshiro Mifune in Sanjuro/Yojimbo (love these movies)

Um, guys, he's in Singapore (according to his "location") so I kinda doubt that playing on the fact that he is Chinese will have much effect.

But seriously, dude...Go as Rayden.

Now THAT would be cool, but how, pray tell, is he going to be able to pull off eye lasers and luminous bad breathe??

 

[MatticusMania]

Eat a lot of incandescent garlic and create laser pointer goggles?

Heellllooo-oooo....

If you have any extra long pieces of fabric around, you can wrap one around your head for a turban, and another around your waist for a sash, and say you are Aladdin, Jafar, Rudolph Valentino, or someone from Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves.
