One of the things I love most about those old sci-fi/horror movies is the disparity between how seriously it's taken, and how silly looking the monsters are. It's like passing out Halloween candy, while feigning fright over the children's costumes, and never once breaking character. Enjoying those movies is like being a kid, and an adult, at the same time. 🎃
I'm pretty sure the original script had nothing to do with werewolves and was changed from vampires at the last minute. This would explain Transylvania, the garlic gloves, and Christopher Lee.
Oh, the truth is far more depressing. This film was initially written by Gary Brandner, the author of the Howling books, and his first draft was faithful to his sequel novel (which means that we might have seen Dee Wallace, Dennis Dugan, and Elisabeth Brooks return as the leads). Then the producers pressured him to shoehorn in a role for a distinguished older actor, which eventually became Christopher Lee's part. And then the producers insisted that Brandner change the setting from Mexico (where the climax of the second book takes place) to Spain (and even that setting was eventually changed to Transylvania). The constant demands led the novelist to abandon the project and focus on his third Howling novel instead. A new writer came in, and it suddenly became a vampire movie masquerading as a werewolf movie, and the only resemblance it bears to the source material is the presence of a male and female lead in a romantic relationship.
@@MAMoreno Excellent reply. This is a perfect example of why producers--who are generally business people and not in any way filmmakers themselves---should be mostly excluded from the creative side of movie-making.
Thanks for the info. So much for my pet theory that the writers heard Christopher Lee refused to do another vampire movie and they wrote in werewolf every time the word vampire appeared in the script.
No, actually ... he enjoyed his previous working experience with the director, Philippe Mora, on 'The Return Of Captain Invincible,' in Melbourne back in the very, very early 80s ... but he never asked about the script. Plus, he enjoyed playing the Cushing/Van Helsing character for a change, instead of the villain.
In the previous Howling film the sister character (played by a different actress) deliberately arranged for her change on the news to reveal to the world werewolves were real and to end her cursed life. She was actually shot by a security guard.
It's like someone had the script for a mid 70s Hammer Vampire movie and decided to change it to a sequel to The Howling while the craft table was being set up.
Actors who who need to say sorry?How about everyone from the Twilight/50 Shades of Gray series of movies, along with anyone who worked on them in any way , bough,t sold and worked on the books, to the lumberjack who cut down the trees to maker the paper they were printed on.
This was the first rated R film I ever saw at the ripe age of 10 so needless to say many elements of the film stuck with me but the one that I would say was a total positive was the music. The main theme and some of the score are one of my favorite guilty pleasure music pieces and a staple for my Halloween playlist.
We're not going to address the hilarious werewolf-transformation-whilst-descending-a-very-long-spiral-stairway sequence, then...? Okayyy... Meanwhile, if you've seen the 1st one, you know perfectly well why there was a gun in that newsroom. And Lee has said, often, that this didn't end up being the movie he thought he'd signed on for, but he didn't realize it until the movie was underway.
It's too bad this wasn't a bigger hit. Along with 1979's Captain America 2:Death Too Soon, a success would have definitely cemented Reb Brown and Christopher Lee as a modern day Crosby and Hope type of team. Pure Hollywood GOLD!
"What's wrong?!" "I lost my ear plugs!" ... "What?! I can't hear you!" You think they would've agreed upon some hand signals before putting in the plugs.
The infamous 1970s Penthouse-produced "Caligula" comes to mind. All of the serious actors in it (including Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren) thought they were doing a satirical costume drama, and had no idea it was going to be turned into a porno in post production.
It was such a disaster that its screenwriter Gore Vidal---yes, THAT Gore Vidal---sued to have his distinguished literary name removed from the credits.
@@echopeakbicycling85 Apparently Guccioni and the other producers had everyone fooled into thinking they wanted to get into actual filmmaking. Even the director. Hell, they had Gore Vidal onboard as the screenwriter, and he'd certainly been around the block. No one knew what they were going to pull until principal photography wrapped, and they suddenly took the movie away from the director and editor. As slimeball stunts go, It was a pretty epic con.
@@echopeakbicycling85 If you're referring to the cast it has to be assumed that most of them had to be at least somewhat aware of their producer's dubious background. It's been generally said that professional actors aren't exactly known for their intellectual acuity. Of course they were most likely wholly aware of Guccioni's less-than-savory reputation and just didn't care, as long as they got that fat paycheck at the end of the shoot.
Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren were both performers willing to take a chance with risque material - they just did not know how risque it was going to be. And it's not really a porno either, if we are being objective, it is just more extreme in it's nudity and material than most UK/US films. In the 1970s there was quite a lot of that going on because "women's liberation" was used as a way to convince actresses to get their clothes off.
love it “ Sadly not doggy style” best quote of the year. Sybil Danning along side Lee the ONLY good thing in this movie. An old friend of mines brother did the soundtrack to Howling 4. And boy that’s a real stinker
The MST3K made fun of his character’s romantic interest in Space Mutiny looking rather old, but the actress was 6 years younger and his wife. Last I checked they’re still married.
This film came at the lowest point in Lee's long career, when he was mostly typecast as a sinister/horror dude. Obviously it didn't help him either. Really, despite being in several projects each year, Lee was mostly forgotten in the 80s and 90s. It was the Johnny Depp movie Sleepy Horror that brought him back into the limelight and Lord of the Rings that completely resurrected his career.
The script was probably originally written for a vampire movie and later reworked to be used for a werewolf movie (the use of stakes, the Transylvanian settting).
i love the story about christopher lee apologizing to joe dante about being in this movie. he shouldn’t have apologized bc the whole film is hilarious.
I gave this a thumbs up because I love the channel and the work you put into it... that said, I LOVE this movie. I know, I know... it sucks, but I just don't care.
The production of that film was cursed or something. Most of the filming took place near where Von Stauffenberg was executed, on a sound stage inside what was once a poison gas factory, and the sound was unusable, so they had to dub everyone with American voice actors.
Let’s face it..every guy who saw this movie remembers the hottie Sybil Danning! She was the hottest werewolf chick ever & that’s what they love about this movie..
Not just McConaughey and Zellweger, but everyone who agreed to act in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. Somebody should've seen from the beginning that it was dreck. Also, Tom Cruise from The Mummy (2017). Taking control of the production resulted in him helping violate a whole iconic legacy of monsters. Kenneth Branagh comes to mind as well for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Both as star and director, he mutated one of the greatest stories of all tike and mutated it into an excessive, melodramatic shoutfest.
You're much too hard. There are 3 great things about this movie. The title song and Sybil Danning. See what I did there? Ok, ok, I got it from your take on One Million Years B.C.'s Raquel Welch, but, to be fair, this movie was often hilarious. Surely, those werewolf orgy scenes were meant to be over-the-top camp! The scenes in the European village are creepily claustrophobic. And dig Christopher Lee rocking those cyberpunk sunglasses! It often feels like they tried to edit together 2 different films: one, a C-grade Hollywood cheapie and, the other, a Euro-trash flick.
@@JnEricsonx While PROMETHEUS was more than a bit of a bore as well as a major disappointment I do consider COVENANT, for whatever its flaws, to be a good movie overall.
@@ashleys9397 Nope. I'm sorry, when a chest burster popped of Doctor Manhattan after the fastest gestation time on record, and it and David WAVED to each other..... Best thing about the movie? Danny McBride. I'm not even a fan, but I liked his character. We never needed to know where the alien came from, least of all 2 damn movies dealing with it.
Reb Brown acted with Christopher Lee before in the 1979 "Captain America" TV movie sequel. I wonder if that came up between them when they worked together again on this film?
One of my favorite awful sequels! The closing credits sequence is worth the price of admission. And by admission I mean admitting that I actually like this terrible movie.
Several years back, my mom immediately asked me to show her this movie when she discovered Christopher Lee was in it. She’s been an avid Christopher Lee fan since her childhood when she watched him play Dracula.
You're darn tootin' thar that the first HOWLING was capital G--Great. Alongside AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, which was released roughly around the same time , it's undoubtedly one of the very best films in the whole werewolf sub-genre. Like, AHHHH----WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
This movie is not awful as it is done cheaply. I love the “Transylvanian ” vibe and the werid punk rock song at the end. As a teen I was in love with Sybil Danning. Actually think I still am even though she is 30 years older than me lol this movie did not help with my infatuation lol Christopher Lee what can I say other than everything he is in he classes up. The Howling 2, Gremlins 2 and a bunch of other stuff all made watchable because he was in it. I wish I got to met him. RIP sir
Bad as the movie was... I still couldn't resist a film with Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning. If you're reading this, Ms. Danning: I love you Sybil! I wish I could convey my accolades for Mr. Lee, but the only way some of us can think of, Christopher Lee warned us against. Rest in peace, Christopher.
Love your reviews, man! I watched this 35 years ago (for the boobs and werewolves, I'm sure) and would probably do it again for the same reasons! The first one was so great with style, story and practical effects...it's a shame that the sequels were so weak.
The anchor being shot while on camera reminds me of a story about an anchor who shot herself while on camera, claiming she was keeping up with the station's policy in broadcasting the latest in blood and gore. I wonder if that incident inspired that scene.
This film was actually intended to be a comedy, but the producers wanted it to lean towards horror, Which makes the film look like the patch job that it is
I've never had a sister, certainly not one who was a werewolf or a vampiress or even your common everyday sinister hunchback. But I do have a twin brother who happens to be a meerkat. As you might well guess we're the type of fraternal twins who have little in common. Back when we were kids in the suburbs I tried digging complex tunnels beneath our house and then popping out near the street and resting my cute little hands on my belly while swiveling my head around on the alert for possible danger. I did this to make Reginald---oh, Reginald is my twin meerkat sibling; but we usually called him "Reg" or "Reggie". As I was saying, I did this to try and make Reginald happy. But it was never really my thing. So...oh well.
Think John Travolta needs to start apologizing for 90% of his output. Battlefield Earth speaks for itself, Gotti was a mess, The Fanatic was an insult to Autistic people just to mention a few.
And how can I forget Moment By Moment????? Dark Corners should review that shit storm. It's never been released on home video but the Universal Movie Channel shows it and it shows up on the internet here and there. Really it's prime WTF were they thinking.
I'm sorry but this is my favorite werewolf movie: adult cartoonish, authentic cultural parody, great stars, exciting visuals. A refreshing break from stultifying melodrama like Chaney or Del Toro. Lee is a favorite but this just isn't his thespian cup of tea.
So the heroes visit the renaissance fair, while the villains have an orgy. One thing about the forces of darkness, they know how to keep their employees happy. If there is one actor that I think does owe us an apology, it is Donald Sutherland for the film Fallen (1998). The film itself is passable, but I have never seen an award winning actor show no interest in his role and just phoning in his performance. Such a shame, since lead actor Denzel Washington was trying his best as always.
What's that you're saying?! What do you mean it's merely "passable" as a film? I happen to consider FALLEN quite an excellent movie and I ought to know that because any movie I've eyeballed, like, seven or eight times is more than likely to be an excellent movie because I happen to like it and I have impeccable taste when it comes to horror films. SO THERE! On the other hand I have to concede that you're probably right about Sutherland's less-than-memorable showing. So...yeah, you've got me there.
3:05 To be fair to Howling 2 (I never thought I'd type those lines), the original Dante film did have a scene where Karen's friend does take a gun into the news studio and does kill her live on-air. It's one of the few bits that the sequel tries to remain faithful too.
Thinking of a reporter committing suicide and traumatizing everyone watching (although that didn't seem like a suicide in this movie)--- That actually happened. In fact, it was an influence for Paddy Chayefsky for the movie Network. A reporter killed herself live on the air in 1974 in Sarasota, Florida.
"Oh, so you can just shoot them" Don't be ridiculous. Obviously that shotgun would've had no effect were it not for Reb Brown's mighty scream empowering it.
"Yep! They seem to be in order". I wasn't expecting to be choking on coffee at 2.30 in the morning but thanks for the unexpected hilarity 🤣 P.

Who owes us an apology? Rob Lowe for "Stir of Echos: The Homecoming." Thankfully this abomination of a sequel (which absolutely killed the franchise) has nothing at all to do with the incredibly excellent original starring Kevin Bacon. Well, except for one thing. The concept upon which the Original is based on. Here's the thing, you can't make a propaganda film that is blatant, over the top, and hits audiences over the head to the point that everyone seeing your film gets angry at the fact you're obviously trying to re-educate them. Audiences don't like that. That's what Homecoming did.
You didn't mention that in addition to all the other stuff about the videotape scene, apparently just reusing the scene from the first movie was too expensive for the filmmakers' tastes, so they made this rubbish reproduction. Unless they thought that that scene being made by a GOOD director would ruin continuity. Which would just be sad on so many levels.
Stabbing a relative he has been banging without warning while embarsing them like that reminds me of how John Snow stabbed Daenerys in Game of Thrones,

@@JnEricsonx While PROMETHEUS was more than a bit of a bore as well as a major disappointment I do consider COVENANT, for whatever its flaws, to be a good movie overall.
And for hiring John Logan
@@ashleys9397 Nope. I'm sorry, when a chest burster popped of Doctor Manhattan after the fastest gestation time on record, and it and David WAVED to each other..... Best thing about the movie? Danny McBride. I'm not even a fan, but I liked his character. We never needed to know where the alien came from, least of all 2 damn movies dealing with it.
@@robotrix Which is odd cause I love a lot of the stuff he wrote.
Reb Brown acted with Christopher Lee before in the 1979 "Captain America" TV movie sequel. I wonder if that came up between them when they worked together again on this film?
7:17 "We have the Holy Hand Grenade!"
One of my favorite awful sequels! The closing credits sequence is worth the price of admission. And by admission I mean admitting that I actually like this terrible movie.
M night should apologize to his daughter for making such a terrible film out of her favourite cartoon, avatar the last Airbender
Several years back, my mom immediately asked me to show her this movie when she discovered Christopher Lee was in it. She’s been an avid Christopher Lee fan since her childhood when she watched him play Dracula.
They should have used this line from Prince's film UNDER THE CHERRY MOON: "Because it's a full moon and I'm a werewolf, bitch!"
"Disappointingly not doggie style" 😂😂😂
but the howling 1 was great.
You're darn tootin' thar that the first HOWLING was capital G--Great. Alongside AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, which was released roughly around the same time , it's undoubtedly one of the very best films in the whole werewolf sub-genre. Like, AHHHH----WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Anne McEnroe, whom plays Jenny, debuted in her first horror flick, a film by Oliver Stone, THE HAND
Daniel Craig owes everybody an apology for playing lead in Girl with the dragon tattoo.
Why?
I thought this was some fun cheese, with a couple of beers. Sybil Danning is cool in the thriller L.A. Bounty, for which she wrote the darn story.
The closing credits are the only thing I remembered! Just think: anyone trying to view the whole Christopher Lee catalog will EVENTUALLY FIND THIS!
And a number of Jess Franco films
This movie is not awful as it is done cheaply. I love the “Transylvanian ” vibe and the werid punk rock song at the end. As a teen I was in love with Sybil Danning. Actually think I still am even though she is 30 years older than me lol this movie did not help with my infatuation lol
Christopher Lee what can I say other than everything he is in he classes up.
The Howling 2, Gremlins 2 and a bunch of other stuff all made watchable because he was in it. I wish I got to met him. RIP sir
Bad as the movie was... I still couldn't resist a film with Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning.
If you're reading this, Ms. Danning:
I love you Sybil!
I wish I could convey my accolades for Mr. Lee, but the only way some of us can think of, Christopher Lee warned us against.
Rest in peace, Christopher.
Love your reviews, man! I watched this 35 years ago (for the boobs and werewolves, I'm sure) and would probably do it again for the same reasons! The first one was so great with style, story and practical effects...it's a shame that the sequels were so weak.
The anchor being shot while on camera reminds me of a story about an anchor who shot herself while on camera, claiming she was keeping up with the station's policy in broadcasting the latest in blood and gore. I wonder if that incident inspired that scene.
This film was actually intended to be a comedy, but the producers wanted it to lean towards horror, Which makes the film look like the patch job that it is
I've never had a sister, certainly not one who was a werewolf or a vampiress or even your common everyday sinister hunchback. But I do have a twin brother who happens to be a meerkat. As you might well guess we're the type of fraternal twins who have little in common. Back when we were kids in the suburbs I tried digging complex tunnels beneath our house and then popping out near the street and resting my cute little hands on my belly while swiveling my head around on the alert for possible danger. I did this to make Reginald---oh, Reginald is my twin meerkat sibling; but we usually called him "Reg" or "Reggie". As I was saying, I did this to try and make Reginald happy. But it was never really my thing. So...oh well.
Think John Travolta needs to start apologizing for 90% of his output. Battlefield Earth speaks for itself, Gotti was a mess, The Fanatic was an insult to Autistic people just to mention a few.
And how can I forget Moment By Moment????? Dark Corners should review that shit storm. It's never been released on home video but the Universal Movie Channel shows it and it shows up on the internet here and there. Really it's prime WTF were they thinking.
@@robotrix Lily Tomlin and John Travolta? Yeah what were they thinking indeed.
As hokey as this one was, it was the only of the sequels I could sit all the way through. The end credits made it worth it.
Thank you so much for an all time classic bad movie!
I'm sorry but this is my favorite werewolf movie: adult cartoonish, authentic cultural parody, great stars, exciting visuals. A refreshing break from stultifying melodrama like Chaney or Del Toro. Lee is a favorite but this just isn't his thespian cup of tea.
So the heroes visit the renaissance fair, while the villains have an orgy. One thing about the forces of darkness, they know how to keep their employees happy.
If there is one actor that I think does owe us an apology, it is Donald Sutherland for the film Fallen (1998). The film itself is passable, but I have never seen an award winning actor show no interest in his role and just phoning in his performance. Such a shame, since lead actor Denzel Washington was trying his best as always.
What's that you're saying?! What do you mean it's merely "passable" as a film? I happen to consider FALLEN quite an excellent movie and I ought to know that because any movie I've eyeballed, like, seven or eight times is more than likely to be an excellent movie because I happen to like it and I have impeccable taste when it comes to horror films. SO THERE! On the other hand I have to concede that you're probably right about Sutherland's less-than-memorable showing. So...yeah, you've got me there.
You won’t believe what metal actually kills werewolves in this movie.
The movie doesn’t seem to believe it either.
3:05 To be fair to Howling 2 (I never thought I'd type those lines), the original Dante film did have a scene where Karen's friend does take a gun into the news studio and does kill her live on-air. It's one of the few bits that the sequel tries to remain faithful too.
I don't know what you're talking about. This is fantastic cheese. I even bought it on DVD twice.
(Amazon screwed up)
I did not know this movie existed, much less Lee being in it. Wow!
Thinking of a reporter committing suicide and traumatizing everyone watching (although that didn't seem like a suicide in this movie)---
That actually happened. In fact, it was an influence for Paddy Chayefsky for the movie Network.
A reporter killed herself live on the air in 1974 in Sarasota, Florida.
I've always wondered if the subject of The Wicker Man came up between Christopher Lee and Nicolas Cage during the making of Season Of The Witch.
Maybe Lee just wanted to say those odd magic words & look dapper...idk...👍👍👍🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
I appreciate you showing me which movies to avoid.
I am so glad Sybil Danning only agreed to do one topless shot so to not degrade her appearance in this movie.
"Oh, so you can just shoot them"
Don't be ridiculous. Obviously that shotgun would've had no effect were it not for Reb Brown's mighty scream empowering it.
No word about the performance of the legendary Ferdy Mayne or the excellent score or the great locations in Prague... :-(
6:31 Wait, * that's * not Jamie Lee Curtis !
Donald Sutherland owes an apology for several movie choices. He probably should apologize to his son Kiefer as well
"Keifer"? I thought he was called Keith; Keith O'Sutherland.
Howling 2 is my favorite Best Worst Movie.
How about "Beyond The Door" (1974) I've personally never heard of it before now.
I love the Howling II, and how about that soundtrack....rather same song played over and over again, sorta a banger though.
In the first Howling she did have herself killed while she was on air . Surprised he did not know that
If Stirba is 10,000 years old, what has Stefan been doing all this time?
The only two things I remember about this movie; civil Dennings assets and the horrific acting of everyone involved other than Christopher Lee
If exist Sybil....There is a god somewhere, she is amiracle of nature. Stunning beauty.
Count Dooku could have used his lightsaber. Would have made his kills even quicker.
"Yep! They seem to be in order". I wasn't expecting to be choking on coffee at 2.30 in the morning but thanks for the unexpected hilarity 🤣
P. S: Yes, I know! 2.30a.m. Not a good time to imbibe caffeine
P. P. S: Did you realise, you invented a new word. "inzerted" at 1.04
P. P. P. S: Thanks for taking time out of cozplaying (see what I did there?) skinny D'Artagnan to put this one together 👍🏼
Who owes us an apology? Rob Lowe for "Stir of Echos: The Homecoming." Thankfully this abomination of a sequel (which absolutely killed the franchise) has nothing at all to do with the incredibly excellent original starring Kevin Bacon. Well, except for one thing. The concept upon which the Original is based on. Here's the thing, you can't make a propaganda film that is blatant, over the top, and hits audiences over the head to the point that everyone seeing your film gets angry at the fact you're obviously trying to re-educate them. Audiences don't like that. That's what Homecoming did.
You didn't mention that in addition to all the other stuff about the videotape scene, apparently just reusing the scene from the first movie was too expensive for the filmmakers' tastes, so they made this rubbish reproduction.
Unless they thought that that scene being made by a GOOD director would ruin continuity. Which would just be sad on so many levels.
Those popping eyeballs at the end made me laugh out loud. Maybe I'll have to check this film out!
Stabbing a relative he has been banging without warning while embarsing them like that reminds me of how John Snow stabbed Daenerys in Game of Thrones,
