This film DID actually inspire the movie "Predator" in 1987. Sadly, Kevin Peter Hall, who played the Alien in both films (and was also in "Harry and the Hendersons as "Bigfoot"), died shortly afterwards. RIP, big man X
Kevin also played the Predator in Predator 2 then he died.
He did an amazing job with all the makeup and prosthetics they had to put on him for every movie and he did a spectacular job 1000% miss or rest in peace but people still will remember him📜👈🙏
Yeah he had aids
@@lonewolfwildernesssurvival9443Um yeah, we know. From a blood transfusion. However, no one felt the need to say it. 😑😔
@@brandonlordbaltimore5182 you are right they never actually told as I can remember that’s how he contracted it, very sad
Not gonna lie, it was genuinely creepy when they revealed the alien with the swinging lamp light.
Clyde Kevin Peter Hall played the alien in this movie. To me It's his height that makes the alien so scary.
I felt the same way. It was really well done.
It's the alien from Balok's spaceship from Star Trek. Comedy gold.
Agreed!!!!
my theory is they asked Jack Palance if he would be in the movie, he turned it down, so they got Martin Landau. Than Palance said he could do it, so the filmmakers just had them play the same role.
I think you are correct on this.
Good theory, but that sorta seems like a lot more thought and planning than is evidenced on-screen.
I'm going with Graydon pulling-off some analog proto-version of the Fappening.
To be honest I actually think the alien design/costume is pretty cool. When he's just standing still or walking slowly he has a menacing appeal to him.
agree on that.
He’s just standing there...MENACINGLY!
plus the face and mouth movement were spot on . This is a good movie !
yeah, I think so too. He would look good in Star Trek or some other sci fi show.
Agarn killed by Aliens
Landau as Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood", will always be amazing!
at this point in his career laundau probably saw this phase of his work as his own ed wood years.
Palance is a consummate professional, always amazing no matter what he's stuck in
Dude this is my favorite review. Jack Palance screaming ALLLIIEEENNN followed by the Arnold sound byte is GOLD
Then you would have definitely liked Alone In The Dark 😉
Jack Palance & Martin Landau starred in Alone in the Dark (82) - along with Donald Pleasance (Halloween) & Dwight Schultz (Murdock on A-Team) - Directed by Jack Shoulder (Nightmare on Elm Street 2, The Hidden)
Al that needs is... with Kevin Bacon and the circle would be complete. :)
Perhaps, I was making a reference that six degrees of Kevin Bacon game. :)
The Hidden. CLASSIC
Is that the movie with The Bleeder? And other escaped killers from a mental institute?
@@johnw8578 yes :)
This movie scared the living shit out of me as a kid, then I forgot about it and caught it up again on cable on a late night and it was still as scary as I remembered it.
Those flying pancakes are pretty creepy. The pulsating effect especially.
I seen it on the CBS late night movie when I was 12 😉
Well, I have only one thing to say.
"AaaLiiiEeeEEeeEeEn~!"
Owen Garrett leeeerrrrroooooyyyy jenkins
Exactly
Lol
LMFAO!!!
Holy shit I love this Movie Palance is Gold in this Lmao
"If it pees you can kill it"! XD
...oh Brandon you magnificent genius you.
i kill for the erection
As a Boy Scout, I can confirm that you find alien flapjacks quite often.
Subjecting them to high intensity infrared should take care of it.
I admit, your show rules. It makes me laugh when little else does in this world. Thank you.
RIP Kevin Peter Hall.
"AaaaLiEeEeEeEeEeEn!"
Oh, my gosh! He just ran in!
Leroy Jenkins!!!!
Lmao Palance is GOLD in this
At least he's got chicken.
That joke about The Shape of Things to Come is even funnier now that I've seen the review of it.
I'm not sure what looked funnier, a slab of concrete bouncing off Palance's head, or a huge boulder bouncing off a horse's head in Jess Franco's "COUNT DRACULA". (And they left the shots in the films!)
My sisters and I just watched this together and howled with laughter. Nice job, Brandon.
This has always been one of my cult favorites; ever since I first saw it on late-nite cable in the 80's. Then I bought it on dvd in NYC back in 1998 or so. Still watch it every now and then like Phantasm and From Beyond.
I'm surprised none of the reviews of this movie I've seen, the fact that they are warned, and fairly early in the movie, never gets mentioned. One of the main characters reads it on the bathroom wall and talks about it. It's kind of cryptic, but still a warning!
With cameos by Ralph Meeker, Neville Brand, and Sue Ane Langdon, no less.
That's depressing.
Ralph Meeker's final acting role to boot.
I knew I saw Neville Brand. I'm not sure he was ever good in anything he ever did... other than the time he played Al Capone.
negative nellies.
As Brandon pointed out, the alien hunter looks like the Balok dummy from Star Trek TOS, but the disk parasite things also look like the parasites from the season 1 episode "Operation - Annihilate!"
"turns out, if it pees you can kill it" LOL!🤣
I don't care what anyone says. I love this movie. I first saw it in the early 80s on regular tv back when CBS still had their late night (11:30 pm after the news) lineup of shows (Columbo, McCloud, etc) as well as movies like this.
That's when I first saw it.
I lost tons of sleep staying up to videotape reruns of the various NBC Mystery Movie series. Until CBS decided to ruin it by putting on a news show at 2 AM, resulting in whatever was on before that getting CUT TO RIBBONS.
ironically there’s also another movie aired only once on CBS named without warning, but it is instead an alien invasion
I still kind of find Jack Palance more menacing in the cologne ad at the end than in the film lol.
Ripley’s Belive It Or Not ! 😜
You ever seen the film "Hawk the Slayer" with Jack Palance as the villain?
Did you ever see him play Rasputin when he hosted Ripley's Believe Or Not? He was full on BATSHIT onscreen it was freaking me and my brother out. He was like WTF with Palance
"Alieeeeeeeeeeen!" Hahaha new ring tone!
I saw this movie in theaters in my country France in 1980. I was 12. it was the decade of horror movies. Same year came "howling" and more. Yes, it is a B or Z movie but it was so well done for a budget of $150k and with this awkward amazing cast!! I loved this movie so much. In 2000, 20 years after, I was happy to find a DVD copy made from a old VHS tape. Now, with social media and huge youtube platform, the movie has became a Cult Classic well deserved with a blu-ray version.
8:25 - Shout-out to the great RALPH MEEKER (left; starred in Kiss Me Deadly and Paths Of Glory) and NEVILLE BRAND (right; starred in Stalag 17, Birdman Of Alcatraz, and Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive.) Props to Greydon Clark: Meeker had suffered a stroke and--because Clark admired Meeker's body of work and wanted to help get him back on his feet--put him in the film.
Oh shit that was Neville!!! Don't forget about That Darn Cat and the Twilight Zone episode that got banned for 54 years
I was 5 in 1980. I remember those disc used to freak me out, bad dreams and shit.
Worse than the similar-looking creatures in that 1st-season STAR TREK episode!!
Meanwhile, back at the Character Actor Saloon!
The film has a stellar cast of seasoned veterans. The wife was a big Landau fan which was one reason we went. You didn't even mention Neville Brand, Sue Ann Langdon and Ralph Meeker.
this film is a under rated masterpiece atmosphere is so on point it makes it scary something a lot of new horror movies miss.
Red head David played a deputy in Rambo first blood. Later he discovered Rambo is a Vietnam War hero.
Have you thought of reviewing Sweet Home? It's a 1989 Japanese horror film that got a wonderful Famicom video game adaptation, which got a spiritual successor in Resident Evil.
Did Cabin In The Woods (2011) take inspiration from the gas station scene? I know Cabin In the Woods was a spoof but damn thats actually pretty cool they did that.
Eh, I kinda doubt it. The whole "cryptic warning from an old local dude" thing is pretty standard in the genre. I'm not sure Stephen King can write a story without invoking it.
Oh yes yes YES! PLEASE do "Critters"!
Great review as always Brandon. Another movie where Jack Palance and Martin Landau play whackos (along with Donald Pleasance!) is Alone in the Dark from 1982 which I think is actually a pretty good little movie. Just a suggestion for a future episode.
What Brandon does takes real talent, so impressed.
Kevin Peter Hall was also the giant mutant bear monster in Prophecy(1979) before Predator.
And Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.
And harry and the hendersons. Man he was getting work.
Really? Wow, that guy sure can punch the hell out of a sleeping bag.
Rick Baker(before he won 7 oscars for best makeup from seven different movies ) was the one designed the Alien hunter makeup for Kevin Peter Hall in this movie, including Harry from Harry and the Hendersons(1987) and which Rick Baker won his 2nd oscar best makeup after winning his first oscar win for the werewolf transformation in An American Werewolf in London(1981), the other oscar wins for Baker included, Tim Burton's Ed Wood(starring Martin Landau), The Nutty Professor(1996), Men in Black(1997), How The Grinch Stole Christmas(2000), and The Wolfman(2010)
You need to review Alone in the Dark (1982)
You'd NEVER guess from all his movies that Jack Palance had a REALLY great sense of humor... or, would you?
i would.
Another Greydon Clark film to look into is Angel's Revenge (a.k.a. Angel Brigade and 7 Angels). That movie not only has Jack Parlance, but also features cameos by Jim Backus and Pat Butram.
The flying flapjacks from Operation Annihilate Classic Star Trek episode.
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!
Is that the one where spock went blind?
Be long and pointy.
...or something 🖖
I used to watch this on the creature double feature when I was a kid. was one of my favorites!
Oh my fucking god I watched this when I was like 10. I thought it was a dream and then WHAM! Brandon reviews it. 👍
I saw 'Without warning' on TV during the early 80s when I was very young and it scared me. It's still not a bad movie to add to a cult collection.
Yes, I saw it when I was a kid, too, along with Dark Night of the Scarecrow.
15:14 - - "If you're going to shoot...shoot. If you're going to talk... talk."
It was nice the allusion to Martin Landau´s performance in Ed Wood. Congrats for you increase of Patreon supporters, you deserve it.
It is a just a slasher film crossed with bits of ALIEN. Those frisby monsters the alien throws are the facehuggers.
Not really.
Oh bullshit you idiot, those living frisby creatures aren't so similar to the face hugger in Alien. They're their own thing. Please!
And Alien is just an slasher version of Planet of the Vampires,what is your point
This movie creeped me out as a kid.
I remember watching this on me TV and it didn't let me down, but like you said compared to that POS home video things this is a masterpiece 💯%👍
i remember being entranced by the poster since i was little and saw the VHS at blockbuster
"Come on, kill me, I'm here! Come on, do it!" -- Me halfway through this movie.
Great video as usual, but you missed another Hollywood old timer. The guy next to Martin Landau in the bar is Neville Brand, who carved his own place in horror movie history in Eaten Alive directed by Tobe Hooper. Without Warning is a pretty cool movie with a lot of star power.
i will forever remember palance for running at an alien yelling alien
These cheesy movies were fun back in the day when you are ten years old. Salem's lot was one that freaked me out a bit
Tim Burtons Edd Wood was one of my favorite movies when I was younger and mostly because of Martin Landou's performance as Bella Logosi I remember the Halloween scene with the kids tricker treating making me laugh my ass off
Jack Palance probably killed those animals with one-arm push-up's. :)
So, the budget was $150k. Landau and Palance got 75k and Rick Baker got 19k for the alien head. That means this movie was shot for 56 thousand dollars. That is beyond low budget, even for 1980.
This movie "Without Warning" is one of those type of movies that does the Aliens comes to to Earth to hunt humans for sport is very original for it's time. Hell this movie had done this before the infamously well known Predator series did it. And for an add bonus the Alien in this movie & for the Predator series is played by the well famous suit actor Kevin Peter Hall
If you want another good Jack Palance performance, check out "Panic in the Streets" from about 1950. I think it was his first major role. It's about a plague outbreak in New Orleans, and it has fellow scary guy Richard Widmark as the hero.
Wait - not only Palance and Landau, but Cameron Mitchell ... AND Darby Hinton?!? How did this no win any Oscars??
Just checked imdb - add Ralph Meeker, Larry Storch, and Neville Brand to that list.
thank you, this was one I saw the commercials when I was a kid and no one believed me about this film
I just saw this in a mini horror marathon, it was 35mm but faded.
I've come from a bleak future where civilization is dominated by bloodthirsty mutant cyborgs. A world of suffering and misery. I've come to 2017 to save the world by convincing you to review the movie Wild Zero, averting the horror to come. Only you can save us all, Brandon! Do it for the children!*
* not the bloodthirsty mutant cyborg children, they're pricks
BBnanner you sound a lot like a steins gate character
Wolf ofDimensions A who?
BBnanner it's a sci fi anime. A character from that is very similar to what you said.
Wolf ofDimensions oh. I was going for a Bustah Rhymes ELE intro effect actually
you ara wrong pal, I'm from the future and the Corona Virus will destroy the world
These vids are helping me get through my detached retina surgery recovery. I thank you.
Yay a new video from Brandon Tenold!!!! Time for a bad movie and some scathing jokes.
This movie was also before Predator and when I think about it the plot is similar! Please Brandon also do a review on the X-Tro trilogy !!!!
This director of this film seems to know every world famous actors & have them along with two Academy award winning actors Martin Landowner & Jack Paulance to be in this movie.
This movie was my introduction to B horror movies. Been a fan ever since.
the Jack Palance commercial at the end! CLASSIC
I love your videos man! I remember binge watching your B movie reviews back in 2017 made me super into B movies, and I guess I went a little deeper than I probably should have-anyway, after discovering “A Black Christmas,” and watching the whole movie online, I fell in love with it. I’m a big fan of “A Christmas Story,” and I believe you said the same director was behind “A Black Christmas”? That aside, I really liked it, and then one day my father found it on Demand and said we should watch it since I talked about it all the time, saying it was an example of “one of the great horror movies” (i’m really into the horror genre, if you haven’t guessed already). I was a bit nervous since he seemed set to tear it apart, but I agreed to watch it with him and see what he thought of it. Long story short, we couldn’t make it even halfway through the film; he said it wasn’t even bad enough to be a “it’s so bad it’s good movie.” He said it was simple...this movie was just BAD. Honestly, in the end of it all, I kinda agreed with him. “A Black Christmas” is a B movie for sure, not really the greatest. I say that because I watched “Silence Of the Lambs” for the first time afterwards...and I don’t think I can go back to B horror movies ever again. All the same, “A Black Christmas” is still somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me, especially considering all the great horror movies it inspired. So yeah, it’s important, but not really as wonderful as you give it credit for. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, though.
But Billy doesn’t have anything on Hannibal. Poor Billy.
Hey Brandon Tenold This decent low budget B Science Fiction horror movie is credited as the inspiration for the Blockbuster science fiction horror action movie Predator.
I want Jack Palance screaming ALIEEEEEEEENNN as my ringtone
I'm disappointed that you didn't play the clip of Jack Palance getting conked on the head with a styrofoam rock when you said that "The Shape of Things to Come" hit him hard.
Yeah! I was thinking that, too.
That would've been hilarious.
Just found your channel, brother. Sorry, I'm late to the party! Love the content! Thanks!
5:01 Fun Fact: Larry Storch Also Voiced The Joker In 2 Episodes Of "The New Scooby Doo Movies".
Palance and Landau were also in Alone in the Dark. What a nutty pair!
They stole TWO props from Star Trek TOS. The Alien is a dead ringer for Balok the big-headed green alien in the Corbomite Maneuver(always seen in the end credits). The other is the flesh eating flying frisbees in Operation Annihilate.
I mentioned Operation Annihilate ages back but no reply. Seems nobody remembers.
Hello Brandon. First, I would like to say that I really enjoy your videos. If you are interested in more of Jack Palance being awesome, might I suggest "Hawk the Slayer' a 1980's fantasy adventure where Mr Palance plays a medieval Darth Vader type called Voltan. Truly an epic flick.
Oh my God, I think I saw that movie. At least it sounds really familiar.
Hawk The Slayer is the best!!!
Just found your channel. Thank you for making this isolation a little more tolerable.
This movie's cover art is epic
ok tbh but without warning is a good title
Many directors would have killed to have a Cast like this.
I dont get how some directors get casts like this for B movie schlock like this. This movie is the horror equivalent of Movie 42
@@arthas640 At the time, Landau and Palance were suffering career slumps.
Porn stache guy in the beginning with Cameron Mitchel is former child actor Darby Hinton. He starred in the long running Daniel Boone tv series with Fess Parker. His godparents were Charlton Heston and a Rockerfeller. His family had Hollywood connections out the wazoo. He's probably the reason for the cast.
"It came without warning" and it's sequel "Pulling out late". That van looks like someone puked on the Mystery Machine.
Am I the only one that kept expecting the long haired guy to come out of the RV and yell SHAZAM?
7:31 "Mynocks.....chewing on the power cables again"
Jack Palance & Martin Landau...
Interestingly, Landau and Palance would work together again on early New Line Cinema film "Alone in the Dark" in 1982, a slasher/home invasion movie with genuine tension.
with Halloween(1978)'s own Donald Pleasance in it as well
AAALIIIEEEEEN!!!!!!
Maybe tell reason why it was nominated so many times was the amount of character actors it had
I'm really surprised there's not a lot more comments on palance screaming aliennnnnnnnghhhhh
I just watched the movie and that part cracked me XD
TBF that frisbee sucker thing looks pretty Freudian. And a lot like some sort of spider.
I remember seeing this film. Can't remember when, can't remember how old I was. But it WAS good, in no small part down to the special effects. I can remember being puzzled then that this was a film I had never heard of.
Great Mennen commercial at the end.lol. That film looked really goofy. What a cast.
Bela Lugosi's Dracula was NOT a b movie....
Ed Wood era Bela Lugosi (which is who Martin Landau was playing) was a looooooong way from that!
Brandon Tenold True, DAT. poor bela because a junkie in Hollywood before it became cool.
Brandon Tenold is critters a cult movie
+Brandon Tenold I've recently watched "Ed Wood", Martin Landau was amazing in it, earned every bit of that Oscar. Easy to see now, why he could identify with Bela.
He didn't say Dracula was a B movie, he called Lugosi a B movie actor, which most of his career was
That bar didn't have "beer or pool" it actually has a pool of beer to swim in and drink at the same time.
Saw this as a kid, scared my younger, gullible self. Later, after watching Predator, I saw the parallels, too. It's like "somebody" knew this movie and thought: "I'm gonna do this again, just... better."
BTW, in Germany the movie's called "die fliegenden Teufel" = the flying devils.
Hey Brandon. I dare you to review Greydon Clark's "Uninvited." It's about a cat that can turn into a cat puppet with a poisonous rat puppet inside its mouth. The cat (and the cat puppet with the rat puppet) get on a boat featuring a cast with the likes of poor George Kennedy and the amazing Clu Gulager. You'll understand what people mean when they say that "Without Warning" is one of his best.
I saw the “Uninvited” a little while ago and it is a batshit crazy movie.
Hey Brandon, it's Michael from Phoenix Arizona. This one made me laugh out loud three separate times. Thumbs up!
Larry Storch best ad lib - dont pick up the spiders...they carry germs
