Hemp stinks when it's wet though. So that remote will be one smelly thing after a couple of sweat-inducing Wii games...
The lion in the race car? I'm guessing that's Gilmore, the famous flying lion and co-pilot of barnstormer extraordinaire and speed-racer Roscoe Turner, who bought Gilmore as a cub and flew with him to generate publicity for his sponsor, the Gilmore Oil Company.

If I remember right the picture with the dinosaur and the lady is from an old Zucker, Zucker and Abrahms movie called "Amazon Women on the Moon".
Also teh first clip is from a movie called "Gizmo!". It was one of my favorites when I was a kid. My brother and I wore the old VHS tape out watching it over and over again. I just checked amazon they have one "new" copy for sale for $150. Somebody really needs to get the masters and put that guy on DvD. It's truely an awesom movie.
That is indeed from "Amazon Women on the Moon". It's from the "Bullsh*t or Not" sketch, lampooning the old "Unsolved Mysteries" TV show. In that particular "Bullsh*t Re-enactment", they were investigating whether Jack the Ripper was actually the Loch Ness Monster.
Swim moose swim!!!!
I found that pic with the lion on the wall of death too, and could not identify it... still can't, I can't find anything linking Roscoe Turner with the wall of death.
Lions, however were fairly common on the walls.
Lots of them were at it.. He might be "King", trained by the Pelaquin family, but maybe not.
