There was this neighbor kid, Rene, who was a pathological liar (probably still is,) who told us all these wild stories. Some may even have had a basis on reality, I'm sure he had some kind of life when he wasn't spending time with us.
The one movie he told us about, that I remember, was titled SHARK! and it came out just about the time of Jaws. Of course, since he couldn't see Jaws, he made up his own version of it. It featured a little bald guy being attackd by hundred of sharks and chasing them and fighting them while riding on a motorcycle. It took him weeks and weeks to develop the full story and he would tell us little snipets of this little bald guy doing amazing stunts while hunting sharks.
I am also guilty of this, once I became a connoisseur, I would tell people about these weird movies, and describe the most incredible events in them in an exaggerated manner and adding mind boggling stuff in a simple throwaway manner. Of course they did not believe me, but I was simply describing Smoky Mountain Christmas (Dolly Parton in a Snow White role) or Killer Klowns from Outer Space or some other such nonsense or ridiculous premise that actually got made into a movie.
They I would just laugh the whole time as they got to see the movie in amazement.
