Thanks everyone for being patient with us as we re-upload some videos that had copyright claims. If you haven't seen this classic Nostalgia Critic video yet please give it a watch. If you have seen this video please feel free to give it a watch again. Thanks for watching and all of your support!!
@@chelsiirvine8970 No we didn't!!! That was the appeal of the character! Now go and enjoy your nostalgia blinding, poorly acted movie because you didn't know anything better than this as a kid.
Okay, I'm seriously getting tired of this. Why copyright claim this?! What? Because it's a Disney movie? Next you'll be telling me The Care Bears movie reviews will get taken down!
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Yeah, I think its probably why. I thought about that for a while because since Doug got a copyright strike from Disney, they used this to their advantage to own the Star Wars rights.
Yeah, Disney keeps buying all these companies and only creating more copyright strikes. For example, I've seen TH-cam uploads for full episodes of The Simpsons and American Dad get taken down for copyright by Disney.
16:24 I can sort of see that happening in the actual show. Or at least had the film been more true to the source material. Picture this, we see the Solex Industries van pull up along side as seen in the film, to which Penny points to it. But before Gadget can see, a Sports Illustrated van pulls up in front of the Solex van, blocking Gadget's view. He notices the Sports Illustrated logo and instantly pursues them, while Penny and Brain go after Solex Industries.
Than Gadget gets the wrong idea and chases a red herring while Penny and Brain go off and solve the crime behind his back, helping to make the movie more like the cartoon it's supposed to be based on.
I've seen more people actually rooting for him and defending his actions (killing that flagsmasher) as justifiable. Not fit for the cap's title, but tbh neither is Falcon.
When I first watched this, I didn’t realize that “my best friend’s wedding” was a movie and Rupert Everett was in it, I thought that the critic was talking about his best friend’s wedding
I remember going to see this movie in theaters when i was a kid cause i loved the series. I remember it ending and as we were walking out my parents asked what did i think. I said it plain as day "that wasent anything like inspector gadget". And lo and behold. That planted the seed of doubt of when ever a movie industry made a movie on a series i loved.
Mightylink Yeah this film came out at Disney’s second dark age that was 1995-2007 due to CEO Michael Eisner was not coming up with good ideas as he did in the late 80’s and the whole failed Disney America thing.
We are in a new Disney dark age with the star wars sequels, all the pointless remakes, and so much focus on representation and diversity instead of focusing on story and character
I remember i was kinda disappointed with this movie when it was new, i loved the cartoon. Back then i thought the movie was servicable but has aged horribly.
Another point of trivia: Andy Heyward OK'd his casting, because he wanted someone in the Jimmy Stewart mold as Gadget. Never mind that _Danny Kaye_ would be a more appropriate idea....
More importantly, he was also Ferris Bueller. How on Earth did Matthew Broderick go from a stone-cold classic like Ferris Bueller to an unending deluge of trash?
@@furioussherman7265 it's Disney. Given his Simba role, they probably had him on speed dial. Or maybe it was because someone fought that the lead voice in arguably one of the most famous animated films of all time would be a good selling point.
I think it would be hilarious if they somehow kept Claw's face in the shadows, even in situations where it would be otherwise physically impossible. I could just imagine someone asking how he is doing that XD
I agree when he said "could be worse, they could have Chris Tucker." That's, in my opinion, the third-most annoying voice in the acting world. With Fran Drescher in second place and Gilbert Gottfried in first.
@@seanreyes6866 I can't. I don't know HOW I managed to get through the Rush Hour movies. It must've been because of Jackie Chan and I wanted to see the whole movie lest I miss any of the kung fu.
16:24 EA, what could it mean? Hey Uncle Gadget, look at that truck! Of course! Electronic Arts! They must’ve implemented loot boxes into their Star Wars games. Away Tuckermobile!
Wow. Can't believe 6-year-old me ADORED this movie! 😂😂😂 But can you blame me? I had NO IDEA it was based on a much simpler, and arguably better cartoon!
I remember watching this film when I was five years old, unaware of the 80's cartoon, and I asked my parents for "Inspector Gadget video" for Christmas. They actually bought me a video of the TV show, and I remember being shocked how different they were.
The first Inspector Gadget movie is way than the sequel by a land slide.. The only credit I give the sequel is that they hide Claws face like in the cartoon show but everything else about Inspector Gadget 2 still sucks
If there is ever a reboot, I think it should be a trilogy. And Doctor Claw face reveal should be in the last movie but the twist is that it's someone that we thought was a good guy through 3 movies. A real stand up and nobleman, maybe as a cop on the inside and he was always one step ahead.
@@Adam-lw9xp I've always thought a darker Inspector Gadget story would be interesting. It's an interesting concept and character with plenty of potential
My favorite thing is that the movie is actually self-aware of how much its version of Dr. Claw has nothing to do with Dr. Claw. I'm not kidding. The credits just refer to him as Sanford Scolex.
Apparently the movie was cut 30 minutes after poor test screenings, that’s apparently why the editing is so fast-paced and irritating to most people. It was originally supposed to go for a serious tone according to online sources.
If true, that would explain a lot. The movie is also not even 1hour20minutes long, so removing 30 minutes worth of running time is pretty strange. It wouldn't have been that long anyway. Also, if the movie was intended to be more serious, that would explain the extremely failed cartoony tone that the movie goes with.
Fun fact: Inspector Gadget May have been an America/French cartoon but a good bit of the animation was outsourced to TMS in Japan. Same animation team that made Case Closed/Detective Conan. Yet another childhood staple turns out to be anime in disguise. 🤣
It’s because DIC was actually a French company back in it’s early days before Andy Heyward owned it.DIC actually did a few French Japanese co productions which were Ulysses 31 and Mysterious Cities of Gold.Some Inspector Gadget character designs has a Franco-Belgian comic style to it.
14:00 I think Doug missed the point of that small gag. We wouldn’t have likely heard anymore doorbell sounds when anyone else is tapped on the shoulder, it’s probably supposed to be exclusive to Gadget because of a built in doorbell alert system in addition to all of his other gadgets. Sure, it’s a little silly, but I believe that’s the point of it.
I saw this in 1999 at a run-down, drive-in movie theater. Before the movie was even over, most of the audience (including me!) were more interested in looking up at the stars as it was getting dark!
Ironically, this is one of the few movies Nostalgia Critic has reviewed that I am actually nostalgic for. (Is that the right terminology?) I can clearly see how awful it is now, but be the circumstances as they were, it was a part of my childhood, so I can't help but feel a little (very guilty) affection for this turd!
I remember the cliche in all those Jim Carrey movies! As for Inspector Gadget's backstory it wasn't very clear in the cartoon. You learn about it on the back of an Inspector Gadget trading card. The card said that he was once named John Brown and he nearly died falling down the stairs by slipping on a banana peel! As for Dr. Claw I only got to see his face on an action figure. He looks like actor Malcolm McDowell as he does now.
20:25 Rupert Evans is having an over the top time in the act 3 climax and definitely agreed with your opinion that he should have been Dr. CLAW's henchmen
"When you do a transition you want something that actually... transitions. Not incredibly distracts from everything." A lot of people could learn from this.... Also love your transition:3
14:51 The reason why Gadget doesn't recognize Claw is because they said when he woke up in the hospital, he didn't remember much from that night due to getting a concussion
I was in the perfect age range for this movie to actually enjoy it. Too young to have seen the cartoon, easily amused by the slapstick, somehow thought Matthew Broderick had good, zaney expressions, loved the 4th wall breaking humor... And to be honest, I actually have nostalgia for this, so perhaps it's just a guilty pleasure.
The main thing this movie got right was the theme song. Lindsay Lohan was considered to play Penny, but she turned down the role due to her working on The Parent Trap. For the role of Inspector Gadget, they were thinking of also Kevin Klein, Steve Carell, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Mike Myers, Jay Mohr, Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Gibson, Dana Carvey, Michael Keaton, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Chevy Chase, Jim Carrey, Steve Martin, and last but not least Brendan Fraser (who turned it down on account of working on George of the Jungle). Steven Spielberg, who was a fan of the cartoon, was considered to be the film's executive producer, but he was too busy with other films like Saving Private Ryan. And I don't know if Doug knew this when he made the joke at 11:38, but Chris Tucker really was considered to voice the Gadgetmobile, along with Eddie Murphy and David Alan Grier. Lastly, for Dr. Claw, actors considered were Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, Wilem Dafoe, Jack Nicholson, John Lithgow, Tommy Lee Jones, and Dennis Hopper. Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, and Willem Dafoe would've been good choices for Claw if the script was better. Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal probably would've been similar Two Face in Batman Forever.
At 21:40 can you name ALL the 'minions" at the recovery meeting? Front row: OddJob, Mr. T, Jaws, Tattoo. Second Row: Kato, (unknown), Igor, (unknown), Tonto.
“That kickass theme song”, written by Haim Saban… yes, THAT Haim Saban. Weird, huh? He mostly wrote jingles and cartoon themes before he got into licensing cheap anime adaptations and printing money by throwing tokusatsu and “Saved by the Bell” footage in a blender. Shukt Levy co-wrote it, and he’d go on to write the music for Saban’s other projects.
Thank you Nostalgia Critic. I used to remember this movie fondly as a child, until I remembered that I haven't seen it since I was a child and now, the nostalgia glasses are off. Nostalgia Critic, knocking off your nostalgia glasses w a super punch to the face and a kick to the nards in in 20 mins or less
That & merging itself with elements from classic spy shows ("007" James Bond/Secret Agent Man [for example, Dr. Claw being like one of Bond's famous baddies], Mission Impossible [the self-destructive letter gag, although in the former, the mission was always relayed using an audio cassette inside of a tape recorder that would explode], Get Smart [Don Adams as hapless agent Maxwell Smart saddled with ridiculous items as tools of the spy trade whose far more intelligent better half, Agent 9, actually solves all of his cases for him meanwhile he gets all of the accolades despite his obliviousness & clear-cut ineptitude for the position he holds, which is carried over to Inspector Gadget in the form of the cyber lawman's child prodigy niece Penny & their sentient dog Brain, who is capable of running on his hind paws, being able to disguise himself with dunce bucket Gadget often wrongly mistaking him for a M.A.D minion & communicating with Penny via her precursor to the modern smart watch in a manner akin to Mystery Inc. being able to understand their own talking dog Scooby-Doo when a mystery is afoot]), meanwhile Inspector Gadget's original character design was a deliberate ripoff/homage to equally hapless detective Inspector Clouseau from the _Pink Panther_ films [which in themselves don't even actually feature the pink cat with the catchy instrumental theme song that the Inspector is trying to capture in the _Pink Panther_ cartoons despite the shared name], so much so that MGM threatened to sue DiC for character infringement, so to avoid a second lawsuit presenting the differences between the two clueless Inspectors [as the first lawsuit saw _Inspector Gadget_ under scrutiny from the beginning just because it was purposely created to supplant the cancellation of the drastically toned-down _Lupin the 3rd: Lupin the 8th_ anime dub, which provided some of the basis for the foundation of _Inspector Gadget_ in spite of the fact that _Lupid the 3rd_ by itself, despite being animated, is certainly not family-oriented fare on the grounds that the titular gentleman thief turned outer space private investigator is noticeably sexist & rape-y in terms of how he acts around women], all DiC did was replace a much more competent baritone Gary Owens with Don Adams reprising his lovable bungling idiot archetype from _Get Smart_ & getting rid of Inspector Gadget's mustache that he only sported in the pilot episode, which was later edited again for a 3rd time to explain Inspector Gadget sporting facial hair for those who had only watched the 1983 cartoon in reruns but had never seen the _Winterland_ episode in rotation). As for Dr. Claw never revealing his face, that was a Saturday morning holdover, since certain characters were always seen just from the waist down or constantly hidden in the shadows, which Dr. Claw was supposed to represent. The 1999 movie even spoofed this once Sanford "Claw" Scolex had captured the bionic cop & when Inspector Gadget told his nemesis that "Whatever you're doing, you'll never get away with it", Scolex leaned over the cut-open Inspector Gadget sprawled out on a table (so as to create the robotic body double Robo-Gadget so that Metro City's citizens would turn against Inspector Gadget upon seeing his evil twin destroying the town) & snidely commented, "Oh please, Inspector. It seems as though someone's been watching too many Saturday Morning cartoons before Scolex, his hefty minion Sykes, and Inspector Gadget himself looked at the camera to acknowledge the viewing audience, some of whom may have legitimately grown up with the source material & naturally, expected something better than what we got from a live action adaptation of the silly cartoon series.
That's sad.. I remember watching this being a fan of the show seeing this with my mom, I think she fell asleep, I wanted to like it at the time, but I honestly felt dirty after watching it. The French Stewart starring direct to video sequel is in every way better and more faithful to the cartoon... that's right the main character being replaced by French Stewart is an infinite improvement to this movie (the one who botched the role of Marv in Home Alone 4) because he actually understands the personality of the character.... also get this.... claw stays in the shadows!
Something interesting is the director David Kellogg has no wiki page. The only other thing of note he’s done is the Superman & Seinfeld commercials and the video of MJ’s JAM. Another thing of note is his two most notable films, Gadget and Cool as Ice, have similarly bizarre transitions between scenes as well as misc scenes that just come in out of nowhere. I guess that’s his style.
honestly I still like it, I mean most of the critics complaints are that it doesn't follow the cartoon (i'm not familiar with it), hating Mathew Broderick before he even does anything (i'm pretty whatever about him), complaining about the transitions (not a problem for me)
@@FalconFlyer75 The segues were a little over-the-top, and a few of the special effects were too cartoony, but other than that, yeah, it was a good movie.
Okay, there was one joke that was pretty funny in the ending credits. The "Minion recovery group" had a bunch of 007 minions and a few others...which got a laugh out of me.

The only change I actually like is Dr. Claw has an actual claw instead of just a metal hand.
i agree but him showing his face IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! hes meant to not be SEEN its his main trait that he is just THE CLAW!!!

I laughed so much at that line.
Slapstick.
Huh?

Sounds like something Channel Awesome would put on a T-shirt
"Ha-ha!"
"A-hee-hee-hee!"
"Eeeeexcellent!"
It was also the same exact gag with no change of tone in Critic's voice
I’m still kinda surprised NC never bright up that the existence of “Robo Brenda” heavily implies Claw created her to be a sex toy.
The sexbots are coming
Anton LeVay was obsessed with the idea of sex androids
He almost did
Probably didn’t think of it…Claw clearly isn’t into women.

@@marvinthemaniac7698 Yeah, I think its probably why. I thought about that for a while because since Doug got a copyright strike from Disney, they used this to their advantage to own the Star Wars rights.

I was in the perfect age range for this movie to actually enjoy it. Too young to have seen the cartoon, easily amused by the slapstick, somehow thought Matthew Broderick had good, zaney expressions, loved the 4th wall breaking humor... And to be honest, I actually have nostalgia for this, so perhaps it's just a guilty pleasure.
Really? Someone wanted to copyright this?
Well.. it is a Disney movie
Or it could've been universal or Netflix since they made that new show
The main thing this movie got right was the theme song. Lindsay Lohan was considered to play Penny, but she turned down the role due to her working on The Parent Trap. For the role of Inspector Gadget, they were thinking of also Kevin Klein, Steve Carell, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Mike Myers, Jay Mohr, Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Gibson, Dana Carvey, Michael Keaton, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Chevy Chase, Jim Carrey, Steve Martin, and last but not least Brendan Fraser (who turned it down on account of working on George of the Jungle). Steven Spielberg, who was a fan of the cartoon, was considered to be the film's executive producer, but he was too busy with other films like Saving Private Ryan. And I don't know if Doug knew this when he made the joke at 11:38, but Chris Tucker really was considered to voice the Gadgetmobile, along with Eddie Murphy and David Alan Grier. Lastly, for Dr. Claw, actors considered were Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, Wilem Dafoe, Jack Nicholson, John Lithgow, Tommy Lee Jones, and Dennis Hopper. Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, and Willem Dafoe would've been good choices for Claw if the script was better. Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal probably would've been similar Two Face in Batman Forever.
REALLY? Chris Tucker actually WAS considered to be the Gadgetmobile? 🤣🤣 Was Chris Tucker also considered to play Snails from "Dungeons And Dragons?"
Man this copyright claim has gone way too far
I’ve only just noticed...
*THOSE GODDAMN SIDEBURNS! DAYUM!*
man all these constant strikes could put Disneycember in Jeopardy this year
9:09 When Simba realized he might have gotten his daddy killed and he needed to get out of the Pridelands fast.
Ah, 2011, when people were not making brown brick jokes and etika was still a rapper.
Who is etika
@@Karmy. not a rapper
Man, I miss Etika...
@@invock but who are they
Brown brick jokes? This is the first time I'm hearing of that.
At 21:40 can you name ALL the 'minions" at the recovery meeting? Front row: OddJob, Mr. T, Jaws, Tattoo.
Second Row: Kato, (unknown), Igor, (unknown), Tonto.
What is with copyright claims recently? Article 13 draws near.
Copyright can suck balls.

@@valenzuelasstudios1838 I remember that game. Especially

@@jamiefairest9109 who doesn't remember such a cringy English line? -_-
“That kickass theme song”, written by Haim Saban… yes, THAT Haim Saban. Weird, huh? He mostly wrote jingles and cartoon themes before he got into licensing cheap anime adaptations and printing money by throwing tokusatsu and “Saved by the Bell” footage in a blender. Shukt Levy co-wrote it, and he’d go on to write the music for Saban’s other projects.
OK, I got to be honest, I laughed at the Minion Recovery Group.
14:45 I sorta feel those sounds are what Hannibal hears all the time as it is.
When his hobby is working in gooey meat then yes
Thank you Nostalgia Critic. I used to remember this movie fondly as a child, until I remembered that I haven't seen it since I was a child and now, the nostalgia glasses are off. Nostalgia Critic, knocking off your nostalgia glasses w a super punch to the face and a kick to the nards in in 20 mins or less
6:18 at this point vader thought his children were dead and did not know leia was his daugter
Shout to channel awesome for always staying on the ball with content and handling copyright! Thanks y’all I appreciate it!
Fun fact, the original show was created from the scraps of the cancelled Lupin III spinoff, Lupin VIII
That & merging itself with elements from classic spy shows ("007" James Bond/Secret Agent Man [for example, Dr. Claw being like one of Bond's famous baddies], Mission Impossible [the self-destructive letter gag, although in the former, the mission was always relayed using an audio cassette inside of a tape recorder that would explode], Get Smart [Don Adams as hapless agent Maxwell Smart saddled with ridiculous items as tools of the spy trade whose far more intelligent better half, Agent 9, actually solves all of his cases for him meanwhile he gets all of the accolades despite his obliviousness & clear-cut ineptitude for the position he holds, which is carried over to Inspector Gadget in the form of the cyber lawman's child prodigy niece Penny & their sentient dog Brain, who is capable of running on his hind paws, being able to disguise himself with dunce bucket Gadget often wrongly mistaking him for a M.A.D minion & communicating with Penny via her precursor to the modern smart watch in a manner akin to Mystery Inc. being able to understand their own talking dog Scooby-Doo when a mystery is afoot]), meanwhile Inspector Gadget's original character design was a deliberate ripoff/homage to equally hapless detective Inspector Clouseau from the _Pink Panther_ films [which in themselves don't even actually feature the pink cat with the catchy instrumental theme song that the Inspector is trying to capture in the _Pink Panther_ cartoons despite the shared name], so much so that MGM threatened to sue DiC for character infringement, so to avoid a second lawsuit presenting the differences between the two clueless Inspectors [as the first lawsuit saw _Inspector Gadget_ under scrutiny from the beginning just because it was purposely created to supplant the cancellation of the drastically toned-down _Lupin the 3rd: Lupin the 8th_ anime dub, which provided some of the basis for the foundation of _Inspector Gadget_ in spite of the fact that _Lupid the 3rd_ by itself, despite being animated, is certainly not family-oriented fare on the grounds that the titular gentleman thief turned outer space private investigator is noticeably sexist & rape-y in terms of how he acts around women], all DiC did was replace a much more competent baritone Gary Owens with Don Adams reprising his lovable bungling idiot archetype from _Get Smart_ & getting rid of Inspector Gadget's mustache that he only sported in the pilot episode, which was later edited again for a 3rd time to explain Inspector Gadget sporting facial hair for those who had only watched the 1983 cartoon in reruns but had never seen the _Winterland_ episode in rotation).
As for Dr. Claw never revealing his face, that was a Saturday morning holdover, since certain characters were always seen just from the waist down or constantly hidden in the shadows, which Dr. Claw was supposed to represent. The 1999 movie even spoofed this once Sanford "Claw" Scolex had captured the bionic cop & when Inspector Gadget told his nemesis that "Whatever you're doing, you'll never get away with it", Scolex leaned over the cut-open Inspector Gadget sprawled out on a table (so as to create the robotic body double Robo-Gadget so that Metro City's citizens would turn against Inspector Gadget upon seeing his evil twin destroying the town) & snidely commented, "Oh please, Inspector. It seems as though someone's been watching too many Saturday Morning cartoons before Scolex, his hefty minion Sykes, and Inspector Gadget himself looked at the camera to acknowledge the viewing audience, some of whom may have legitimately grown up with the source material & naturally, expected something better than what we got from a live action adaptation of the silly cartoon series.
07:11 The neighbours came to check up on me I was laughing so hard.
Just realized how much more "cleaned up" the new episodes are compared to the old ones when it comes to language.
I honestly liked this movie
Same
This movie wasn't bad. The second one, I didn't like tho.
Me 2 because I never watched the series.
Same here, I was a kid at the time though.
That's sad.. I remember watching this being a fan of the show seeing this with my mom, I think she fell asleep, I wanted to like it at the time, but I honestly felt dirty after watching it. The French Stewart starring direct to video sequel is in every way better and more faithful to the cartoon... that's right the main character being replaced by French Stewart is an infinite improvement to this movie (the one who botched the role of Marv in Home Alone 4) because he actually understands the personality of the character.... also get this.... claw stays in the shadows!
It’s like the sound effects were put in by a TH-cam Poop
4:40 is this the new intro!? I hope so
The Segway reminded me of Austin power
@@nathanchavez6171 cause it parodies it
*Y E A H B A B Y, Y E A H !*
The 2nd one is more faithful to the series.
That is true.
I NEED to see the Silence of the Lambs with cartoon sound effects in its entirety. Please!
8:14 - 8:24 Dr. Claw: "Oh, I believe somebody has been watching too many Saturday morning cartoons."
That would be peak humour today.
Now the Sequels!!
How is claw the villain? He's the hero. He's the only one trying to kill Matthew bradbrick.
Nostalgia Wars: The Company Strikes Back.
I'll admit, the minion recovery group almost got a chuckle out of me.
Can you review Planet 51?
You have anime as your profile pick so you don’t have a opinion.
Al’s Toy Barn oh please do
David Belknap that’s cool but I wasn’t directing you...
yessss
I want him to review Doogal
19:24 "Gosh, you're irritating." My reaction to Aqua from KonoSuba.
Something interesting is the director David Kellogg has no wiki page. The only other thing of note he’s done is the Superman & Seinfeld commercials and the video of MJ’s JAM.
Another thing of note is his two most notable films, Gadget and Cool as Ice, have similarly bizarre transitions between scenes as well as misc scenes that just come in out of nowhere. I guess that’s his style.
I loved this movie when I was a kid. Am I the only one?
Me too. I was so stupid.
No
@Sailor_Moon_2020 Same!
honestly I still like it, I mean most of the critics complaints are that
it doesn't follow the cartoon (i'm not familiar with it),
hating Mathew Broderick before he even does anything (i'm pretty whatever about him),
complaining about the transitions (not a problem for me)
@@FalconFlyer75 The segues were a little over-the-top, and a few of the special effects were too cartoony, but other than that, yeah, it was a good movie.
I love this film!
Also that transition!!!😂😂😂
Also...
“BRING ON THE BROWNIES!!!” Lol
20:24 This movie would’ve been a far better adaptation if the actual Dr. Claw popped up like this!!!
2:55 Yeah.... That's reserved for the sequel.
As a kid, I though the chief was Claw. He just seemed like a villain.
Ha, in the _Pink Panther_ movies, Clouseau's boss turned supervillain just so he could off Clouseau once and for all.
Okay, there was one joke that was pretty funny in the ending credits. The "Minion recovery group" had a bunch of 007 minions and a few others...which got a laugh out of me.
The saddest part is how this movie is the first time i ever heard of inspector gadget.
Why? WHY?! This was well within the copyrights!
Just reading the title makes the "Inspector Gadget" song stuck in my head. ^^;
I love how even bad movie's in the 90's and 2000's got good end credit song's😂
Not gonna lie, in the 90s I was obsessed with Brenda's big hair and butterfly clips in that ball scene.
Can you please review more Matthew Broderick movies 🤣 I’m dying for each one cause your loathing is sooo hilarious. Loving it
This movie was so bad it made the Super Mario Bros. movie look good 😳
When I saw this as a kid, I always thought this movie was a prequel to the show.
When I was growing up I always imagined Dr. Claw to be really Destro.
The sound effects during the Silence of the Lambs scene never ceases to crack me up lol
