“Nobody hangs out in the maul any more It’d probably be drones flying around” Screw that, have fun with it Urban explorers go into an abandoned mall, the broken down security system kicks in, locks them in. They get chopped to bits There’s your elevator pitch
Wanting a modern chopping mall doesn't mean remake it I mean House of 1000 Corpses is kinda a modern Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's not a remake of TCM
A few years ago I rented Chopping Mall when I was trying to watch all the campy 80s horror movies that aren't the most popular ones. I watched it three times and eventually bought it. I love it.
The commando / chopping mall edit was freaking on POINT! Also the head explosion van damm poster was Fantastic. Bravo 👏🏽 on this months return of monster madness bravo 👏🏽
As a Japanese, it's nice to see these Tokusatsu videos sitting in front of James, the blue one is "Godzilla Raids Again", the red one says "Complete edition of unreleased Tokusatsu films", and standing one is "Terror of Mechagodzilla". I've never into Godzilla movies, but Tokusatsu shows were big part of my childhood. Instant nostalgy. Anyway, good video as always! Thanks guys!
Looking at the set makes me miss going to the video rental stores as a kid, especially during Halloween. It was great to just browse through all the crazy covers of the movies and video games and they way I would learn if they were worth buying... Great memories ❤️
The couple at the beginning of the movie who talk about getting the robots for their restaurant are from EATING RAOUL. It's a great movie by the same director as DEATH RACE 2000, and you guys NEED to watch it. Paul Bartel made it with film left over from shooting movies with Corman. So good, and it's on the Criterion Collection.
Does anyone else think that this show was inspired by “Half in the Bag” and “Best of the Worst” from Redlettermedia? I can’t help but think that that copy of “Surviving Edged Weapons” in front of the counter is in some way a nod to them
I'm having a genuine moment looking at all the VHS tapes in the back. Wild Things and Hannibal were always on the shelves at my local video store back when I was a kid.
Man, seeing that VHS copy on the desk for The Hallowe'en Tree brings back find memories of my Dad renting it for me from the local video store when I was a kid.
The Sherman Oaks Galleria was a magical place - spent much of my childhood there. It was shut down due to structural damages caused by the '94 Northridge earthquake, and was eventually torn down and a new "open air" mall was built in its place.
This is on Amazon Prime too, I love that its actually easily viewable, a lot of the class Cinemassacre recommendations are hard to find or where in the past
Also filmed at the Sherman Oaks Galleria: Back to the Future Part II,Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge,Walk Like a Man (1987),Innerspace.
One of the people cracking jokes in the front is Mary Woronov. She's a B horror movie Legend IMO. TerrorVision, Rock & Roll High, Death Race 2000, Night of the Comet, and even has a small cameo role in The Devil's Rejects. She deserves more love for her extensive body of work.
This is still one of my all time favorite 80’s horror movies, I still bust out my copy once or twice a year and watch it. We had some of the best horror films in the 80’s.
That mall is Sherman Oaks Galleria. A guy that I used to work with lived close to it and had been there many times before he moved to Florida. We were talking about old horror movies and Chopping Mall came up, that’s when he told me where it was filmed. I heard there was plans to remake Chopping Mall some time ago, but so far I haven’t been able to find anything else out on it.
The Christmas lights across the counter really brings it together. Its like we have alot of antiquated shit in here we couldn't possibly make it look any worse, hold my beer, Christmas lights.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but... _Fast Times, Night of the Comet,_ and _Chopping Mall_ all have Kelli Maroney. I thought blondie with the gun looked familiar.
I remember seeing this when i was super young. Was on late night movies on basic cable. Thing was the comercial anouncer called It by one of its alternate titles "Killbots". So for the longest time i was trying to find it and couldn't. Wasn't till a couple years ago i found out it was called "Chopping Mall" here.
They should remake it, with robots in the mall actually chopping people , and make the mall super popular and crowded but up to date. My mall in my home town is still really popular. There is even a whole big arcade recently built and open. Its awesome and totally takes me back to the 90s even today. Its crowded all the time I love it.
One thing I liked with this movie was they actually had them fight the robots. They didn't just run away and say what are we gonna do til they all died. They actually tried to stop them and even the plans that failed weren't terrible plans. The could be a fun survival horror game.
I remember originally recording this off of the Scifi Network (not Syfy) along with Robot Wars. They definitely billed it as Killbots. The DVD I have has the Chopping Mall title.

Is open the tha hunt season for 80s stereotypes?
"....whenever i see your smiling face, i have to smile myself...."
@@JoshuaRoberts_V ranked #2 actually! Right behind Scanners...
If you want another good killer robot movie, that I don't think you've reviewed before, check out 1984's Runaway with Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons
You guys should do an ep where you discuss face tv Halloween episodes! Curious on your thoughts. Great vid!
The head explosion to Jean Claude's in the back perfectly atop was amazing
haha, yeah that was pretty good
Most choice
I was hoping that was just a happy accident.
“Nobody hangs out in the maul any more
It’d probably be drones flying around”
Screw that, have fun with it
Urban explorers go into an abandoned mall, the broken down security system kicks in, locks them in.
They get chopped to bits
There’s your elevator pitch
Ian: "I'm also doing crime"
Me: what a nice criminal.
A smooth criminal
@@oaf-77 Dammit, you beat me to it!
The second I saw that I immediately was going to add a smooth criminal to this as a comment but he beat me to it as well
Wonder what that banger track was
@@oaf-77 Got his head blown off, though, not smooth enough. Needs more lotion. 😏🤣
Tony dressed as a clown looks like the son of John Wayne Gacy haha
Somehow Tony made JWG look more fun to be a young boy around.
I always knew Tony was a juggalo.
"Son of Gacy"
Serously, why don't they make B-movies like they used to? They write themselves.
Yeah, that was scary.
"no ones watching carnosaur after jurassic park, unless it's like a joke, or you're tony, or whatever"
This is one of my top favorite movies
"I hope they never remake this"
Later...
"We need a modern Chopping Mall."
Wanting a modern chopping mall doesn't mean remake it I mean House of 1000 Corpses is kinda a modern Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's not a remake of TCM
That's what we call a character arc
I'm pretty sure there is a modern Chopping Mall remake I seen it on my on demand and I believe it said 2016
ChrisS82 it's in the making actually. Just won't involve killer robots.
One of my fav cheesy 80's horror flicks.
Robot blows someone’s head off with a laser
"Thank You. Have a nice day".
James, you should do a Rental Review on the movie ‘The Warriors’.
Do you want these guys to come out to play-eh?
CAN YOU DIG EEEEEET?
not based on an popular video game.
@@notkimpine the game was incredible !!!!
RLM fans would rejoice.
From the title, _Chopping Mall_ sounds like a slasher film.
it is
I haven't seen a lot of these movies they review but their chemistry makes these videos so entertaining
The store looks like a place I would never want to leave.
@@zezesilver To dark and dingy like my soul...Muuhahaha
They got mildduds
Imagine seeing Tony the clown in some dark alley screaming "Im So Silly!!" 😨
I put a VR video on my channel with that clown. Check it out!
Tony is giving john Wayne gacy vibes in that clown outfit.
Funny, I was watching "Chopping Mall" a half hour ago, Now I'm watching "Night Of The Comet."
I love Night of The Comet!!!
And now I'm watching Darkman.
Strange.
I bought both at the same time
(a few years ago) I was completely oblivious to both having the same actress in them
when buying them.
That's a great way to spend a day!
AWESOME double feature!! Lol I was thinking of night of the comet while watching chopping mall
Thanks for the shout out, guys! Really appreciate the support!! 🤖 ⚡ ⚡
@18:52 👍🤖👍
I hang out at a mall occasionally, the Burlington Mall!
(It happens to be the same mall where Paul Blart: Mall Cop was filmed.)
I’ve been there also, I was there when they were filming, almost got to say hello to Paul blart (Kevin James) the man himself lol
They don't make B movies like this one anymore, and that's a shame.
Samurai Cop 2, Space Cop, to name a couple.
Look up Jim Wynorski on IMDB. You'd be surprised. There's plenty of movies. (Just on Sci-fy)
Kevin McGuin ugh Samurai Cop. just ugh that film.
True. They are def a lost art.
I enjoyed this movie growing up, cheesy low-budget movies are sometimes the best ones. Thank you for all the great content.
You enjoyed it for the sex. Cuz internet was non existent.
Michael Sullivan nice profile picture
@@clipsedrag13 actually I really really really like Kelli Maroney. Check out night of the comet.
@@proplayer-bs9ee thank you
Your welcome and slipknot Is the best
Speaking of "Night of the Comet", why not do a Rental Review for it? In my view, it receives nowhere near enough love for what it is.
That movie is one of the best 80's movies. Great stuff
I just watched this on Shudder! Loved seeing the malls thriving in the 80's. Super nostalgic and depressing how far malls have declined.

This movie was literally just recommended to me on Amazon so I watched it on a fluke with no expectations. Jesus Christ it's amazing.
The couple at the beginning of the movie who talk about getting the robots for their restaurant are from EATING RAOUL. It's a great movie by the same director as DEATH RACE 2000, and you guys NEED to watch it. Paul Bartel made it with film left over from shooting movies with Corman. So good, and it's on the Criterion Collection.
It's amazing that Roger Corman is still alive and active in the movie business.
Roger Corman is awesome. However, he had nothing to do with this movie. This movie was produced by his WIFE Julie Corman.
As long as he's making movies, Roger will never die.
James Cameron and Joe Dante are proteges of Roger Corman. Along with countless other major directors.
Thanks for the upload Cinemassacres. I remember this movie when I was a kid. I'm 42 now.
Just imagine when the plot of the movie occurred during clearance sale.
I didn’t know James was a fan of At The Drive-In.
@@TheClax123 uhhhh.... woosh? man i can't tell on this one, i'm not even sure James is aware he's a fan of ATDI
@@TheClax123 i think hes refering to the band.
I too was wondering. I thought maybe but I haven't seen that logo before
@@TheClax123 why did you say literally?
@@TheClax123 worst and most pointless word ever. Remove it and your statementis still the same
I like how smug the robots sound when they say "Thank you, have a nice day."
Edit: That mall was also used for Terminator 2.
Does anyone else think that this show was inspired by “Half in the Bag” and “Best of the Worst” from Redlettermedia? I can’t help but think that that copy of “Surviving Edged Weapons” in front of the counter is in some way a nod to them
Yeah, I used to watch Half in the Bag..
If there was ever a crossover, that would be the greatest.
@@SauloBenigno Used to?
The way you say that, is like it fell out of favor.
Redlettermedia is still awesome.
Had to pause the video, and scroll the comments for surviving edged weapons.
@@thenifell the bad thing about rlm is Rich's laugh
It's funny for about 5 seconds then it's aggravating
I'm having a genuine moment looking at all the VHS tapes in the back. Wild Things and Hannibal were always on the shelves at my local video store back when I was a kid.
This is one of my favorite 80s horror movies, along with Maximum Overdrive and Night of the Comet! Glad to see it on Cinemassacre...
"I'm also doing crimes"
I'm definitely a fan of this film; also, it doesn't overstay its welcome, it gets in and it gets out (unlike in a regular mall situation).
The official movie of the Dead Mall Series.
Turns out that level in Zombies Ate My Neighbors was actually named after a movie. Only took me 25 years to find out.
I talk about this movie a lot because it's that special kind of bad that makes for an amazing movie and when I saw this I had to watch.
Let’s see how long it takes Jim Wynorski to “ban” this video and take it down like what he did with Minty’s
You mean Jim Wynorski, right? He's the guy who directed Chopping Mall.
Will and Matt's Excellent Podcast That’s correct; will update post.
The dude in the movie that's always chewing gum.
We called him "Guy with the disappearing lip" because his upper lip would curl inward when he chewed
Man, seeing that VHS copy on the desk for The Hallowe'en Tree brings back find memories of my Dad renting it for me from the local video store when I was a kid.
Ive apologized so many times for my love of Chopping Mall. I now wacth it every year on my birthday.
Is it just me or is James should have like way more subscribers he’s been on TH-cam since the beginning
Justin does not know the difference between Johnny 5 and Alpha 5...
The rack on that girl who sends the guy to get cigs always makes me happy (×)(×)
The Sherman Oaks Galleria was a magical place - spent much of my childhood there. It was shut down due to structural damages caused by the '94 Northridge earthquake, and was eventually torn down and a new "open air" mall was built in its place.
0:20 I have one word for this whole intro. Beautiful. Seriously, on so many levels, not even joking.
Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel are legends. Their cameo is as their characters from Eating Raoul, which Bartel directed.
This is on Amazon Prime too, I love that its actually easily viewable, a lot of the class Cinemassacre recommendations are hard to find or where in the past
Thank you for reviewing this 80's horror movie. Now overdue Rawhead Rex written by Clive Barker.
God, that movie is awful and must be reviewed.
Nice to see "The Halloween Tree" sitting on the counter!
BAD RALPH absolutely love Halloween tree
0:13 Man, James really stepped up his robonerd outfit
It's the new Nerdrone
Yes!!! I knew this as Killbots! My brothers and I would watch it on TBS (or maybe WGNX) on rainy Saturdays.
"Nobody hangs out at the mall anymore?"
"People hang out? I dont think that happens anymore."
when I saw the thumbnail I thought this would be Evolver...god I loved that movie
Oh my damn. This, Fright Night and Howard the Duck were on heavy rotation for me when I was like 4 or 5. Hahahaha
Memories...
Also filmed at the Sherman Oaks Galleria:
Back to the Future Part II,Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge,Walk Like a Man (1987),Innerspace.
One of my all-time favorite horror movies! THANK YOU for uploading this! I’ve been waiting for you to talk about this movie!!!!

Love the Dragon Ball ki blast sound effect. lol

17:28 Paul Blart as a robocop could be BLART2-D2. :)
I remember the VHS cover at Movie Gallery. Finally watched it in 2008 on TH-cam. It's pretty cool.
James as a guest on Best of the Worst would be an interesting experiment...
Let's get Macaulay on the phone!
these hack frauds? No way!
I would love to see you guys talk about Class of 1999
Classic cyborg fun
And a good companion piece to chopping mall :-)
I love that movie
They need do Rental Reviews on Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, and Tetsuo: The Bullet Man
SSJ4 Jason yes!!!!
That would be great
I would love that because I'd like to know what the hell happened in those movies.
No
No
11:00 I was wondering, since when I saw this on TV, YEARS ago, it was called "Killbots"
This film contains a hilarious head explosion.
You guys need to watch “Evolver “. That is more your style of killer robot
That's a great underrated movie
Finally, i tought i was the only one that knows that movie.
Those movie splicing edits are so awesome! Great video! :)
I recommend:
Night of the Comet
Nightflyers
World Gone Wild
I just finished night of the comet, it was great!
Thanks for your recommendations, Mr. Literally who!
Them mentioning that a new Chopping Mall would have things like Drones reminded me of a scene in the new Child's Play movie.
Loved this as a child my dad showed me this probably back around 2003
BEBEE!!! LMAO! Trying to save all the Hallows Eve reviews for my 31st Marathon couldn't help it with this one. Crucially hilarious!
Thanks for reminding me of this. The two actors from the beginning are also in Rock N’ Roll High School
The Chopping Mall Commando mashup is AMAZING!
Your commercials are a joy. Love it!!
Those Killbots can be taken down by VPN Express.
1:47 On the left, in the background, that’s... That’s an action figure of the tree from Commando.
That is the greatest action figure ever
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but...
_Fast Times, Night of the Comet,_ and _Chopping Mall_ all have Kelli Maroney. I thought blondie with the gun looked familiar.
It's also the same mall from T2
Did they mention the robots having Alphas head? Especially since James discovered Power Rangers?? 😊
I remember seeing this when i was super young. Was on late night movies on basic cable. Thing was the comercial anouncer called It by one of its alternate titles "Killbots". So for the longest time i was trying to find it and couldn't. Wasn't till a couple years ago i found out it was called "Chopping Mall" here.
LMAO TONY WITH THE CLOWN MAKEUP AND CAPTAIN HOWDY FLASH HAHAHAHA
Omg! Ive been trying to find this movie for a long long time. I watched it as a kid and had no idea what it was called. Thank you.
The Halloween Tree on the counter!! What a somber Halloween film. I remember it being so damn excellent and sad.
I rented this movie so many times as a kid.
They should remake it, with robots in the mall actually chopping people , and make the mall super popular and crowded but up to date. My mall in my home town is still really popular. There is even a whole big arcade recently built and open. Its awesome and totally takes me back to the 90s even today. Its crowded all the time I love it.
Even to this day, we still don’t have robot mall security. Just mall cops on segways.
7:50 - Kelli Maroney most notably from Night of the Comet among others, and Tony O'Dell most notably from The Karate Kid and Head of the Class
One thing I liked with this movie was they actually had them fight the robots. They didn't just run away and say what are we gonna do til they all died. They actually tried to stop them and even the plans that failed weren't terrible plans. The could be a fun survival horror game.
Another killer robot film: Evolver. It also has John De Lancie in it.
@Chunky Bugger Yep, those were the days :P
@Chunky Bugger Uugh, why must you bring up.....the sparkly ones 0_0
Tony gave the Joker nightmares.
I remember originally recording this off of the Scifi Network (not Syfy) along with Robot Wars. They definitely billed it as Killbots. The DVD I have has the Chopping Mall title.
Ian's body just under Van Damme's head in the Street Fighter poster. Works almost too perfectly to be a coincidence.
Shannon Doherty rode a 🛹 in the mall in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, which Iron Man Robert Downey Jr is in.
Loading the clip and puts bullet backwards lol
