"So, Cronenberg, do you want this particular scene to look visually pleasing or morbidly disgusting?"
"yes"
cronenberg's filmography in a nutshell, really
Morbiusly pleasing
Corny ass comment 💀
This must be a dream sequence, because you typically can't get the really good stuff in a Chinese restaurant unless you order it in Cantonese.
Nah, you get good stuff too if you know the owner. XD
In that movie you can never be sure what is dream (virtual reality) and what is actual reality.
@@theo9952
Either the entire movie is a game or ending is reality
Even the special?
Actually, the dish that was served was probably frog legs or seafood soup, which included fish, shellfish and lobsters, and don't ask me why, I've eaten it before, and it tastes good. The frogs are fed for the purpose of consumption.
Worst part isn't the food, the eating or whatever.
It's the fact he's getting his sleeves in it.
They captured the surreal feeling of a dream (even though I know its supposed to be a game) perfectly. The messy restaurant that nobody seems to mind is nasty, the dog next to where people are cooking.
I can say, that it is a very realistic Asian restaurant. It is not too messy, BTW, how it is usually in real life =)
No thats actually an authentic chinese restaurant
Surreal? That’s a real life indian restaurant
that's how Chinese restaurants are irl 😂 these messy nasty looking restaurants have the best food tho
Thats pretty racist, looks like every Chinese restaurant to me.
Teeth falling out is a common dream image
The movie did a great job simulating a genuine Chinese restaurant. In North American Chinese restaurants, interior decoration often took second priority, some better than others. In Hawaii the joke was the nastier the Chinese restaurant looked inside, the tastier the food was. So I know the food in this nasty-looking Chinese restaurant was going to taste superb. I even noticed the waiter carrying inside a plate holding a Chinese zhong zhi. It's a savory, steamed sticky rice triangular ball with a chunk of pork meat and part of a duck yolk inside, wrapped in large, long green leaves, tied securely with cotton string.
in Indonesia, the triangle sticky rice is call bakcang.
Fantastic cult classic by Cronenberg. Always felt like a more modern extension of his masterpiece Videodrome :-)
Interesting thought. You are right... They may be seen as a diptych.
I thought this and Rabid were his best.
The bone gun is a very unique movie weapon
I saw this scene on tv when I was a kid about twenty years ago and I've been looking for this movie ever since. Now that I finally found it imma need to watch it to work on those past traumas xd Thanks Cronenberg
same hahaha. I finally find this scene
I think we all have a few of those.
Same here, this film got me thinking a lot when I was a kid about how virtual/hallucinated stuff can become "normal" in a realistic virtual setting. Kinda like dreams
Insane, same here. Watched it when quite young and have been looking for the movie since years. Reddit TipOfMyTongue finally braucht me here
@@Radicalradiator Omg pretty sure the same experience stroke to all of us kids randomly browsing TV back in 2010s...Such a coincidental yet doomed momment.Caught me off guard
i love how the gristle gun's barrel was being cut and drips blood, but it's just bones :0
bones have blood in them sometimes!
@@H31MU7 oh wow.
Bone is where blood is made funny enough
Even though it is utterly disgusting, I find this scene very appetizing.
Same though. Each little snap the weapon makes as he is putting it together is oddly satisfying for me. I feel like I should be grossed out by this scene but it just isn't for some reason lol.
That is a genuine game urge....Don't fight it.
Jude Law is even so sexy while eating mutated reptiles.
This feels like the epitome of David Cronenberg’s career
The snapping sound is so satisfying
And the origin of scorn is now found!
“Did you hear me, chinesewaiter?” I can just imagine the Shenmue UI over this lol
“he’s too nice! I won’t do it” >:| he’s adorable lol
"Did you hear me, Chinese Waiter?" great dialog.
That's why I like 90s. People were free in their ideas and opinions.
@@valentin3780 you’re a moron. There’s nothing controversial about the line dude.
@@KD--sj8eo it’s racist tho
The whole point is that it's stilted, they're in a game and mindlessly parroting scripted dialogue
@@TehLemonsRUs It ain't racist - its the dialogue in their incomplete game.
And I wondered if I dreamed that movie that I watched like 15 years ago.
I loved this movie when it first came out. Haven't seen it in years.
I really like how the conversation with waiter feels like how it feels like to talk with chatGPT when it expresses some hesitation or disagreement but then takes everything you say at face value EVEN if your words contradict your previous statement.
I know it’s gross but the sound effects make it satisfying
This is like a fever dream
The scene of them eating the special is what a vegan would feel like eating animals
A shame. Mutated Amphibians and Reptiles provide
a new and previously unimagined taste sensations.
The sound is satisfying and like puzzle
They just don't care that someone just died from a headshot
You have an infected bio port!!!
» I'm going to seal up your bioport with this anti-viral resonator.
It uses the Umby pick-ups for power. Should cleanse all your porting channels of infection in a few hours. It'll give you a little skin buzz when it's done.
Of course, we can't play until then. «
Fantastic scene! Impressed me so much when i watched the film as a youngster.
Alaways amazed by how fast is melting the face of waitor by the way. Maybe some ref to how disappear the body of the game mobs when killed.
1:21 That right there is a genuine game urge, to kill Allegra.
Nicely spotted
This is how CODM get mythic guns ideas
DLQ Zealot:
Christopher Nolan was surely inspired by this movie for Inception
Scorn the game.
literally no one
the quet kid during lunch:
Get that tiktok ass answer back to tiktok
What kind of school has waiters taking orders for lunch 🤔
To the random big forhead guy who showed me this in a cafe. I didnt get your name but thank you LMAO. GOT NEW MOVIES TO WATCH NOW!!
This movie in my mind draws a lot of parallels to Ai. The main characters are attempting to stop the splitting of objective reality.
when i heard about this, i thought it was like a prison and someone had brought a chicken/fish thing and inside it was a gun
i don’t know why i thought it but i did lol
Bro... me too 😳
You know why it's called special,because you can make gun with that food
Which in itself sounds like a hilariously bad joke unless you realize that's what happens in the movie, and it makes sense.
But the accuracy of that bone gun is complete shit, though.
@@foofoo3344
The Teeth ammo can melt people, somewhat.
The player knew how to build the Bone gun....
All the mutated "Trout" will be used to make
weapons, in that level of the game?
@@foofoo3344 it's called the gristle gun.
@@furicalors Ok
Was Scorn's weapons based on this scene?
Best scene ever
I didn't remember how revolting this scene was.
You know what’s scary? As a Chinese, this isn’t even that bad...
still better than duck head and sucking brain out of it xD
Tell about it - I have seen some freaky stuff when I have eaten out with my family.
But what exactly was that stuff he was eating that’s what I really wanna know
i love the snake meat they have in sanya
Props. Very well made props, the finished gun is clearly toggle lock. Has to be a dressed up Luger.
He was probably eating special effects gel or peices of chicken.
The sound files when he assembles the bones is nothing short of a miracle in cinema.
anytime i have honey chicken at a Chinese restaurant cant help but say, I want the special,
I feel very sorry for the chef who served me. :( 7:44
7:21 he sounds slightly australian
How cool is he saying just little misunderstanding over the pay no attention enjoy your meel
When Gordon Ramsay, walks, in That Restaurant...
I've seen this on TikTok and than I went on Netflix put didn't have an account so I came on TH-cam to watch it u we're the first pne I saw
on to the next level:
Woman: ug gawd this chicken is undercooked
Jude Law: Huh? BET I CAN MAKE A GUN OUTTA THAT
lol meme-able
hahaha looks like scorn weapons! (the videogame)
Netflix ahh adaption
Thumbs up for Daisy Domergue✌🏻
They say that when you look at something disgusting it can be seen in a mir scan. That was disgusting.
surreal, lovecraftian, sci-fi horror movie
Why did the boy killed the waiter
It is a game, he thought he had to do it))
So this movie really exitested all this time??? And i thought it was my dream 😂😂😂
Wow that was hilarious
The apocalypse survivor
Finally no more of that TikTok shorts bro
That's the most legit Bio organic weapon I have ever seen 🗿🗿🗿👌
The veggies look nice
Inspiration of SCORN
This was part of his in-game mission right?
Waiter or...?))
8:00 Why a gun inside the blood
It is alive?
Just as Gaffigan says - the food comes almost too fast.
How did it shoot there is no bullet inside the gun
Teeth are the bullets magazine =)
They are also in a video game
@@Howyaduing So this scene in the movie actually took place in a "video game"??
@@ECiT745 yes
@@ECiT745 yes, they unlocked "The Special" by selecting the right dialog option (its her birthday) and got to assemble a unique weapon as a reward
Loved him in Repo
What kind of animal is that? And can you really make a gun out of animal bones
they are in a video game
@E. Nashton i really thought what kind of scorn shit is this
The same chef from MIB😂
Not gonna lie,i feel bad for the waiter
Why did he kill the waiter in this scene?
@@ECiT745 No idea
@@ECiT745 There's no reason iirc: this is a "game urge" as stated by the character. The game story and roles are pretty confused actually.
Comida grotesca, armas de pescados mutantes, racismo y asesinato, en efecto esto no es cine, esto es divinidad
This scene makes me hungry for seafood.
Are we still in the game?

Sir tell the name of movie
Movie's title is in the video name. It is eXistenZ. See here www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/
Smartest indian
I have no idea WTF I just watched and I don't think any amount of context will help.
eXistenZ 엑시스텐즈
i fell bad for the waiter
Same
Lost me at the dog eating fish bones
Epic
Movie name please
It is written in the title of the video.
eXistenZ. Great movie.
TrasCendenZ
id be annoyed if i was Asian and I only got to be a Chinese waiter in the cool new virtual reality game.. he should have walked for being typecast
Why? Chinese waiters are a real thing in Chinese restaurants.
Scorn.. anyone?
Exactly.
what kind of fish is that?
Sea bass
This place looks so unsanitary they probably have human sized covid.
6:35 "I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever..." --> th-cam.com/video/93pXrmCdlI0/w-d-xo.html
Scorn took a lot from this scene
7:55 makes me hurt
Ears are twin peaked out
why did he kill him tho
Nobody knows. Maybe it is a part of the game =)
That's exactly what they might wonder themselves, because they're in a new experimental virtual reality game which may or may not mess with the human mind.
If you watch the film, is it the game conditioning you for a response or the natural compulsion of the individual?
Just a simple misunderstanding.
The Waiter is a spy, in this level
of the game. Or I missed why.
The game told him to.Or should he just think that? Or should we?
Were the teeth explosive or toxic? His face just started melting when he fell over dead...
Damn it...now, I have to watch again,
never noticed that. THEY LIVE does
the same thing, weird bits not
noticed until view #6.
@@theunknowngamer5477
He paid tribute to They Live at one point in the movie if I'm remembering right...
@@VerdeMorte
I clear a day for a re-watch.
Two strange bits I need to
catch....more, please.
I think it's the combination of the teeth shot and the hot soup

Wait they cooked alien too....
