Help?[edit]

Please fix Z Nation in Filmography

pre 1999 films[edit]

Since the company was founded in 97 it seemed strange that the first listed film was Bellyfruit in 99. I got curious and checked out the wayback machine which lists a bunch of other titles:

At the time it is listed as a "feature film production and distribution company" so I'm not sure if any of these were produced by Asylum or simply distributed by them. More investigation will be needed. If they did not produce them then some other company did. It might be worth mentioning their role as a distributor and the films they distributed prior to getting into producing them. There are links for Action/Comedy/Documentary/SciFi to check. 64.231.169.3 (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Scarecrow trilogy[edit]

Beginning to doubt Asylum's involvement in this. Seems it was York Home Video who did them. Assumed good faith when someone said Asylum did on IMDB. This could be a misunderstanding, perhaps Asylum just distributed it? Should these be removed? Just want to make sure we get all the old films they did before the more well known recent ones but don't want to attribute something wrongly. 64.231.169.3 (talk) 17:37, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trolland[edit]

I saw at Walmart an animated movie from The Asylum called "Trolland", ripping off Trolls and it started Ja Rule, Dick Van Dyke, Chris Daughtry and others. I think it should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.70.117.123 (talk) 23:34, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've added it to a list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamTheBlurayStar (talk • contribs) 00:17, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The table is displaying at the bottom of the page[edit]

The filmography table is displaying at the bottom of the page instead of at it's own section. Anyone have an idea what's going on?★Trekker (talk) 20:43, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a filmography at all. So movies like 'Megafault' are missing. Kdammers (talk) 09:50, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
