  1. it sounds like mystery science theater 3000.

    they did that. they would pick old movies (usually black and white) and turn off the sound and make up stuff as it goes. Were there some figures in the bottom right corner? if they are there, then it's MST-3000.  


  2. Hercules Returns is a 1993 Australian comedy film directed by David Parker, starring David Argue, Michael Carman, Bruce Spence and Mary Coustas.

    Film buff Brad McBain (Argue), a frustrated employee of Australia’s largest cinema chain, The Kent Corporation, quits his job and decides to set up and re-open the Picture Palace, a palatial disused cinema in St Kilda, Melbourne to show classic old films in the old-fashioned style. As a gimmick he chooses the last picture that the cinema featured, Hercules, Samson and Ulysses (an Italian film, originally released in 1963 as Ercole sfida Sansone). When the print arrives at the grand gala opening it is in unsubtitled Italian. This calls for desperate measures and McBain, his projectionist Sprocket (Spence) and his publicist Lisa (Coustas) are forced to improvise voice overs for the entire film with hilarious results. His old boss, Sir Michael Kent (Carman), also attends the screening which ends up with McBain breaking the fourth wall when Kent tries to sabotage the show and they have a fight in the projection room.

    Absolutely hilarious!
