After Godzilla vs. Kong, can we get Mandroid vs. Manborg?
don't forget the sequel Mandroid v.s the CyberSapiens
I want an Eliminators: Rise of the Mandroids.
MANBORG enough said
Why not a Gaming Channel? Eliminator sounds like a Terminator Knockoff and Terminator is In Mortal Kombat 11 already for the movie, Terminator: Dark Fate
Check out Unmasking The Idol and its sequel, Order of The Black Eagle. Both movies are perfect for your channel.
A cyborg, a ninja and Denise Crosby. Where the hell has this film been all my life.
You may have been joking about the action figures, but this movie does sound like something a bunch of kids would dream up while playing with their action figures :P
"I trap all of your guys in an electric force field!"
"Well I'll use my robot to free them! "Fine, I'll teleport into the past to take over!"
Exactly
That is a good comparison!
I can hear Eric Cartman as one of those kids.
I think that is why I love this movie so much, especially when I was a kid. I took all my toys and made similar adventures, and then this came a long. It made me feel good to know other, even OLDER people thought like this!
Would have to have one of the kids steal his dad's/Brother's Warhammer 40k army,
Fun fact: when using his mobile unit Mandroid likes to be rererred to as "Mank".
Bambu Fan When they upgraded the ram, they renamed it the “Smart Tank”, or S-Tank.
he reminded me a little of Axel from Twisted Metal 2
Kinda looked like the love child of robocop and Johnny5
@@randomguy2518 alive
It´s obvious what he plans to do with those Roman soldiers: take Hoover Dam and gain a major foothold in the Mojave!
It's all part of his plan to rule Venus.
Hail Caesar!
Hell yea good one man
Ave true to ceasar
Only to end up cooked by Archimedes 2 and eaten by a cannibalistic post- Apocalyptic UPS carrier.... Killed (And ate,when possible) all the faction leaders, they were all dicks in one way or another
I too remember Centurions Brandon, don't worry lol.
I at first assumed it was a reference to the Roman soldiers...
Power extreme! Man...and machine!
Me too.
Power Extreme!!
@@jtsh reverse that
R2-AMNOT later recovered it's career by balancing on top of a beachball, and learning to speak Wah Pedal.
C'mon. You knew it got a new paintjob, a full makeover and became BB8? :P
@@sigmacademy that was after it was melted down, painted yellow and made into BB from Deadly Friend
@@TemmiePlays I stand corrected! Well played! XD
That robot actually looks like a knockoff of B.O.B. from the blackhole.
I love how they defeat the villain in this movie by just messing with the computer, it's like something out of the original fallout games.
Featuring Denise Crosby in a solo wet T-shirt contest.
Strangely she only came in second place.
I was SO into her on Star Trek... it’s great to see she did so many nudes scenes
scockery BURN!!!!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
jerk fudgewater she is responsible for a LOT of sexual awakenings, in all genders.
Always preferred Beverley Crusher, classy and sexy.....so classy that i can't find so much as a bikini pic of her, closest is her in a workout leotard
The only thing this movie was missing was an explosives expert and a stereotypical native American character
they could have had a gay native american explosives expert....in the sequel
@@Kornknealious who is the first to die
OMFG. Saw this movie when I was like 8 and all I remember is the ninja jumping through the fan. Never forgot that scene but never knew what movie it was. This feels like my brain got a piece of a puzzle.
Mandroid looks like a discount Christopher Walken assimilated by a Dollar Tree Borg.
To true lol
ALL the borg looked like dollartree toys,
😂
Dr. Reeves is how I imagine Dr. Gero would look like in an live-action Dragonball Z movie
I KNOW RIGHT!
@@thatonea-hole Does that make Mandroid Android 17?
@@smithwesson1896
POSSIBLY
also What's up, Smithy!
@@thatonea-hole *I'M GREAT!!!*
@@smithwesson1896
*THAT'S GREAT!!!!*
This movie is every 12 year olds dream and I love it 😁
I love this movie. Pure '80s cheese.
@asian dude Fun, entertaining comic book of a movie with enjoyable characters and neat effects. Have you not seen this movie outside of Brandon's review?
@asian dude Didn't think so.
One of my favorites in the 80's
This is seriously one of your best videos dude, I’ve been a fan of this flick for so long. I had to share this with everyone. Thank you.
It is great fun
I remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was the live action version of Mega-Man
There's is a really good(imo) fanmade live action MegaMan
"I need a man who can take me up the river. And also drive the boat".
Later in the same movie: "What, you think I can't drive a boat just because I'm a woman?" No, he thinks that because if you could do that, you wouldn't have asked someone else to do it for you.
Can woman drive boats? I don’t understand. Should they? Why?
@@rexremedy1733 What about cars?
@@troodon1096 Technically, she hired him as a guide. Guides just tend to drive their own vehicles.
There's a "little man in a boat" joke in here somewhere, but I'll leave it to others to, uh, uncover.
I remember this gem. It's one of those films you know is going to be subpar but somehow manages to be reasonably entertaining.
As a Mexican 80's kid, I find this review awesome!! G.I. Joe!! Vehicles! Centurions!!
Also... La cucaracha!!! Jajajajaja!!!
Brandon, you're the best!!
We love Full Moon Features, and we love the cult flick Trancers in 1985.
I remember seeing ads for this film as a kid, getting excited for it, renting it from the video store, and being epically disappointed.
Wait, HOLY SHIT I SAW THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATER WHEN IT WAS NEW WITH MY DAD!!! Didn't recognize the title, but the second I saw the mobile unit, I knew. Pausing at 3:23. this movie totally has a ninja in it, doesn't it?!?
Assuming you were a youngster, just wondering what your dad's reaction was to your exposure to some denise Crosby nip action. . .
@@wallyman292 Mildly amused, maybe? My dad was a pretty reasonable, straight-forward guy. He liked action and sci-fi movies. He caught me sneaking into the house once at 3:00 am and says, "Matt, was that a woman giving you a ride home at 3:00 am?" "Yep." "You're caught. Your mom went to bed at 1:00. You're grounded for a week, you wash both our cars, and I'll tell her you came home at 1:30." :D :D :D I love my dad, more dads should be like him!
You saw this in a cinema? Was it some sort of budget cinema. I live in the UK and by the early 80s cinemas were only showing the big studio flicks. B movies had well and truly been relegated to the video stores. Which was shit, used to love catching these low rent flicks on the big screen.
I have a memory of the "mank". I wonder if it got reused in other movies or t.v. ?
“I’ll have my revenge and Deathstalker 2”. Come on the world needs this review lol
I remember Centurions.
"partly metal, partly real ..."
Wait ... That was Silverhawks.
anyone recall Visionaries?
@CHIGGS 58TH 22 minutes, but they were better than the shit now.
@CHIGGS 58TH a lot of them!
“Man and machine! Power extreme!”
@@floydlooney6837 Knights of the magical light?
Hell's yes!
Speaking of visionaries, what about spiral zone, air raiders, and jace and the wheeled warriors?
You definitely need to check out "The Vindicator" 1986 I actually loved both this and the Eliminators when I was a kid.
How about Megaforce?
My wife and I are HUGE Venture Brothers fans. The Hunter Gathers joke has convinced me that you are the greatest sarcastic movie critic....EVER!!
Ahhh Centurians... I remember watching that in the early 90's. Cartoon Network did a good job back then with the wide variety of obscure shows.
Brandon you should also try reviewing John Carpenter's Vampires.
hell yah!
the first several minutes of Vampires is badass -- after that it kind of loses me
@@williamblakehall5566 I like the film. It has James Woods kicking vampire ass and fantastic creature effects. But if you don't enjoy it I respect you.
It's pretty darn good. Much better than Village Of The Damned or Ghosts Of Mars.
@@jamstonjulian6947 I also liked Village of the Damned. But I didn't like Ghosts of Mars that much. Its still above those two.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a “Kano from Mortal Kombat” joke
Or because this wacky movie had time travel, cyborgs, robots and cavemen that he didn't make a Doctor Who joke.
YES! I remember the Centurions! I watched it as a kid (reruns, I think, on cartoon network in the late 90s), but completely forgot the name.
I loved this movie back when I was a kid.
Centurions? Yeah I remember them. They came on Boomerang on their "Boomeraction" block. 😁
On DVD from Warner Archive as well (www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0066E6T8G/dvdtalk)
OMG!! You DID it!! I can’t believe it! You’re awesome bro!! Now just open up the ability for more people to become top tier Patreon supporters so more can join!!!
12:47-13:06 had me LOL. 😁😂🤣
This review has been one of the funniest ones i have seen from this channel.
These reviews always brighten my day. May God bless you, Brandon!.
Anybody remember " Muscles"? Little rubber figures, badazz looking....
I still await the day when Mandroid finally teams up with Recyclops to form the greatest action duo of all time.
R2-AMNOT, that name is the funniest shit I've heard in, like, three hours, man
Always wanted to see someone review this!
I'm content to know it ACTUALLY EXISTS
Shitcase Cinema
I loved eliminators growing up it’s amazing that it’s a true story and was filmed in front of a live studio audience just like the sit com cheers.
I totally remember this movie!! They don’t make movies like this anymore .😢
15:31 I remember the Centurions cartoon show! I even had a couple action figures from the show! Thanks for mentioning it, Brandon!
Don't worry Brandon, I remember Centurions too.
from Battlestar Galactica...?
@@AmityvilleFan, this is what _Centurions_ was: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Centurions_(TV_series)
I remember it, too!
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. 😃
I friggin’ LOVED this movie as a kid. I rented it so much from one of the video stores in my neighborhood that they just ended up giving me the tape. It wore out after too many repeated viewings, so thank god that, a few years ago, Shout Factory put this out on DVD and Blu-ray.
I totally remember Centurions! Saturday mornings on Sky One, my fav slot :D Or was it Sunday? Daymn.
the Eliminators is the closest thing to an American sentai
I was on this movie set when I was a kid. I remember my dad standing me on Mandroids tank treads and his friend showing me the robot half mask.
Manborg had a $1200 budget, still better than 95% of multimillion dollar Hollywood movies.
I remember this movie as a kid and having a crush on the chick! I still feel bad when the cyborg man dies!
Old School Curt Well,you are better than me :)
I had a crush on the chick from "Tropical heat",and wanted to be private detective as Nick Slaughter when I grow up 😂
I remember this movie back in the late 80s early 90s on cable. How the guy rolled his Knuckles across the computer board and then send him into the wrong time!😅
You're so young to know about so many old references and to enjoy talking about old movies. I'm 41 and I barely remember some of these. Good on you, sir.
8:49 Quo Vadis is also one of the greatest death metal bands to come out of Canodia.
Recommended songs: "Hunter/Killer", "Legions of the Betrayed", and one of my favorite instrumentals of all time, "Dream".
Saw this on cable many years ago.
One thing you didn't touch on was that the actor who played the mandroid was Patrick Reynolds, grandson of RJ Reynolds and is a anti-smoking advocate. So much so that his family had pretty much disavowed him.
The Centurians was legit one of my favourite cartoons..... POWER EXTREME!!!!!
Just found your reviews, as a child of the 80's I love them
I saw this on late night TV about 6 years ago and its literally been my favorite movie ever since
That guy that says we kick ass with a shotgun is from Terminator 2 Arnold takes his sunglasses.
That's right ("Can't let cha take the man's bike, son...") - also, Quo Vadis does NOT mean "we kick ass". Roy Dotrice, who played Reeves, was also one of the actors who played The Master in the Doctor Who TV series.
10:40 speaking of borderlands, I wouldn't be surprised if handsome Jack has that in his weapon memorabilia.
Not only do I remember Centurions (Power Extreme), but my brother and I saw this movie opening night back when we were in grade school. If you think you were thinking WTF, the whole audience seemed equally confused (but it was weirdly entertaining)
I thumbed up for the Centurions reference. Air, Land, Sea. That show was amazing.
Now you also have to do GI Joe: The Movie. Only fair, since you already did Transformers: The Movie.
John Rust - It would be so great if he did review it. GI Joe was a big part of my childhood.
I remember The Centurions, Brandon. I spent much of my young life in front of the TV, when I was not reading sci-fi novels or camping out. But mostly the TV.
Yes! I loved this movie as a kid! Saw it in the theater.
I loved this movie as a kid. Not many movies tried new things this movie tries them all.
You absolutely nailed it.
I had early childhood memories of this film, but had no idea what it was called - thought it was Mandroid, but after searching for it in the early Internet age, I figured I must have made a mistake.
I saw a Reddit thread mentioning it a couple of years ago, and finally searched TH-cam today. I was right about Mandroid - as that’s the character’s name.
It’s crazy that Eliminators is never mentioned anywhere.
Weird, but I can imagine why I’d have had fond memories of this as a 6 year old. Looks like it was targeted specifically at that age group.
Nice review!
So glad I found this! I grew up watching this cinematic suppository many many times. I thought I was alone. It’s amazing in the same way that navel lint is amazing.
god this is still one of my favorite guilty pleasure films of all time
Saw this when I was either ten or eleven. That was the perfect time to see it. Still have fond memories of Eliminators, even though it’s beyond schlocky.
And 10/10 review for not using a luminaries joke. Great 80's toy commercial.
So Eliminators really features Steven from 'V', knock-off V.I.N.CENT from The Black Hole and the acting abilities of Denise Crosby? Gotta love it!
my friends and I loved this movie as kids.we saw it like once a month 😂 its super cheesy but we didnt care at age 9 😂
The ninja cooking the fish over the fire reminds me of the Far Side comic where the cavemen say "Hey. Look what Zog do."
So since the album Thundersteel by Riot came out in '88 and this came out in '86 I guess I now know where the band got their inspiration for the song/album.
Love the channel, I've binge watched nearly every review you've done! Your humour is spot on, Canadians have a very similar sense of humour to us Brits!
Yep, back in the days of VHS and Jumbo-Video, I rented this... twice! Well, we all have teenage regrets...
Brandon: Remember Centurions?
Me: I understood that reference!
R2-Amnot is probably based on the hero robots from Disney's "The black hole". Thanks for finding this one. I was convinced I dreamed this one up as a kid
It's like they were walking through the studio backlot and filming everything they saw. A bizarre homage to Blazing Saddles.
Apparently the Marvel boys cribbed from this movie too. They made a cyborg villain named Bonebreaker with the same silly tank treads for his lower body in 1988. XD
Mandroid has a torpedo launcher built into his robot arm. That’s some Inspector Gadget level situational weaponry. What would have had happened if he wasn’t in a boat? Just seems strange that when they put him back together someone was like “God yes are we going to give our special Mandroid an arm torpedo for aquatic adventures, hell yeah!”
If you had told me this movie was about a RoboCop, a magical ninja and Tasha Yar from star trek tng all teaming up to fight natives, an evil mad scientist and his borderlands merchs all with stock roman centurion footage peppered throughout,and that all of this was the inspiration for a farcry game...I would have asked you if it was infact a personal fever dream.... but here we are!
Wow...
Just wow!
Lol I remember seeing this film in a theater... I couldn't remember the plot or name of the movie, I only remembered the Mobile unit and the side boob. Lol
Oh my God, Centurions!, I loved that show as a kid but had forgotten its name and no one else remembered it. I gave up ever learning what it was called again
It's ok, Brandon, I too remember The Centurions. I really need to watch it again =)
I saw "Silurian Age" and couldn't help but think "So he got traoped in a Doctor Who episode?" 😆
I loved this movie as a kid. It's one of my 4 favorites including Deathstalker 2, The Barbarians and House 2.
When you said Centurions, I thought of those Martian robot soldiers from the Duck Dodgers show, they were meant to be a parody of the Cylon from Battlestar Galacta lol
Recently subscribed. Would love to see you review one of my favorites, The Sword and the Scorcer (1982). A classic.
What a blast from the past! I had this on vhs when I was younger. It's funny looking back on how bat shit random this was but you just rolled with it.
Sadly, Andrew Prine (Fontana) passed away a few months ago. He did a variety of movies and television shows, including 'V' (as Steven).
I saw this on city Tv in 87 or 88. I remember thinking that a ninja made perfect sense to show up out of no where.
The Centurions!! That's what they were called, Thank you!!!
3:32 Indeed. That bearded dude couldn’t stop the T-800 from stealing that biker’s Harley, so what luck is going to have here?
"everyone knows paper-mache reflects lasers"😅
Doug McClure was the base for Simpsons character Troy Mclure
I know. they combined him with Troy Donahue. LOL
M2-am not is a horrible name for that little robot.
It looks more like a tiny prototype of a black hole robot, so you should've named him Vincent Jr.
And as long as your looking for hard to find sci-fi, try finding Knights.
Knights came out in 1993, has Lance Henriksen as a cyborg vampire, and stars kickboxing champion Kathy Long as the hero.
It even has Kris Kristofferson as Gabriel, the last good android.
...
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who even knows about this movie...
The only thing missing from this movie is stop motion dinosaurs.
I think the villian was supposed to have been attacked by a stop-motion dinosaur at the end, but they ran out of money.
I see where the Adeptus Mechanicus got their Kataphron STC blueprints.
I'd like to see you review "Crash & Burn" (1990)
That's a good one. With Bill Moseley and Megan Ward.
