I **REALLY** love your Dad, Robin. Maybe you can do a Top Ten video on stupid scientific "laws" in movies, and then your Dad can debunk each and every one. That would be SO cool. We can start with Lily Tomlin in The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
@@NoirFan01 I guess that works the same way as Monty Python's mini-documentary about the World's Funniest Joke. If they'd used the real one it would have killed the audience, which would have been hilarious in it's way but also highly illegal.
You made the mistake of asking your dad, without prefacing the question with "Could Christopher Lee do this:" The answer would obviously be: "OH, Christopher Lee?! Didn't know we were talking about Ol' Chris! Absolutely he could do it!"
My pitch: A family-friendly version of HELLRAISER. Wait... hear me out... this'll work! We've got Taika Waititi as a wisecracking reporter who finds a strange cube he thinks is a puzzle... and when he twists it the right way, RYAN REYNOLDS appears and makes him go through a hilarious setpiece of hellish agony...
Having watched a number of your posts, it's fun looking at your hair and beard combinations over the years. But one thing that does not change is the fun of you pulling the films apart, you keep posting I'll keep watching.
I remember this! I'm not sure how "kid friendly" it is, because even as a kid I would have thought "Man, is this ever cheap, weak and uninvolving." It might have made a tremendous Get Smart episode, but that had folded its tent long ago. I just hope Lee was able to buy himself something nice after this.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii remember this one! Watched it first run on TV back in the day. I remember wondering what happened to the crew of the aircraft carrier, and, say, isn't Christopher Lee still alive and still evil, just really tiny and really really pissed off? This was evidently intended as a pilot for a weekly TV series, but everyone reacted to it pretty much the way you did. ( I liked it, but I was only 12)
If I remember correctly, the shrunken ship had been deployed for target practice, so no lives were lost. I think that I rate this as a Lee "maybe" death, figuring that if the shrinking didn't kill them, the local wildlife would.
@@colleencrouch4346 Fair enough. I don't honestly remember the comment about the crew, but I *do* remember them putting the carrier on a conference table soooooo I'm not gonna get too worked up about implausible details :)
(The room with the ray gun in it at the end is a real-life lab that they do (or did) ultra-quiet testing in. I remember seeing it years later on an episode of Nova, and recognizing it instantly)
The image of Blufeld riding the elevator to his penthouse got to me. How did all the spy parodies miss that? Dr Evil's cat freaking out and scratching people, or opening a trap door under the guy who passes wind.
Wait, wait... an evil "genius" has a scientist kidnapped along with his daughter who is used as leverage so that he'll fire a laser which bounces off a satellite and does something terrible and the mastermind has demands. This is just The Pink Panther Strikes Again played straight!
There are quite a lot of kid-friendly James Bonds: Get Smart, Kim Possible, Despicable Me (basically about a Bond villain) and Spy Kids off the top of my head.
Great as it was, Kim Possible is only kid-friendly if you somehow never, ever see any of the Rule 34 fan art. Probably some actual XXX spoof films out there too, but damned if I'm searching for their titles.
"2lb sunglasses" 😆😆😆 "Nightmare on Elm Street: the Zany Adventures of Freddy!", "Debbie Does Toytown", "The Last Temptation of Kermit", or "Salò: the Next Generation".
"Salo: The Next Generation" suggests some potentially...uhmmmm..."intriguing" possibilties. But since Pier Paolo Passolini, the director of SALO: THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, has been deceased for something, like, 47 years give-or-take, who could you find as a producer/director/writer for any proposed sequel?
There was at least one XXX film that used "Toytown." as a draw in the title but it wasn't really a parody. Honestly not sure they even knew about the original film, the "plot" revolved around hijinks at a sex toy shop. Perhaps thankfully, they played up the "toy" part of the name, no little people were involved in the movie. No Debbie either.
From the opening, the woman they chose looks like Shelley Long. This is if Sam Malone, who owned Cheers was Bond. I watch this as I type. OMG. The "Ill open a bar instead" that killed me. lmao. Great minds think a like :)
Here are a few: *Hellraiser:* a cenobite (probably Pinhead, because of course it's Pinhead) is called forth by a 6 year old rapscallion (or his babysitter). Instead of torturing the one who calls him, Pinhead has to deal with babysitting the Antichrist, who tortures him with silly antics and ever embarrassing shenanigans. *To Catch a Predator:* Chris Hanson is drafted by the military to help them hunt a Predator from another world who is kidnapping child prodigy's who all have various mental illnesses like Tourett's and Asperger's.
@@richmcgee434 or *Problem Child,* only imagine John Ritter if he became a Cenobite. OOH! There's the plot! Dad/Step dad has had enough of evil step child, so he uses the puzzle box to take the kid away, only to be taken away himself. Kid smiles and says witty one liner.. only later, step dad comes back as Cenobite to show the kid _REAL_ hell, only to get Kevin MacCallistered in horribly embarrassing ways. Hijinks ensue, 100s of dollars are made.
I'm still hoping to convince you to review "Olympus Force: The Key", which ticks the Vanity Project box as well as the "What is Christopher Lee doing in this?" box. It's certainly bad enough to warrant the DC treatment, but I don't know if it's got enough usable material. It's got Linda Lusardi in a bathing suit sitting on Christopher Lee's lap.
Professor X goes rogue in another alternative timeline! Btw, nice to get insight from your dad for this video. I hope, he appears in more your videos. Thanks for another great video! Your hard work and humor always shine!
It's hard to believe that the same actor who starred in this and _Howling 2: Your Sister Is A Werewolf_ would go on to play Saruman in the LOTR films. Edit: I completely forgot he was in _The Man with the Golden Gun._ Maybe not quite so hard to believe after all.
The first time I gave up on a movie and decided it wasn't worth my time sitting through to the end was another TV movie with Christopher Lee as the villain: Masserati and the Brain.
@@andrewyoung2796 As a Christopher Lee Completist, I have this in my collection. As Lee pops up periodically throughout the film, I've even watched it all the way through. The best I can say is that it is not a kiddie movie and I did not slip into a diabetic coma while watching.
@@colleencrouch4346 Do you have the cartoon series of Terry Pratchett's Soul Music? That's about the only TV adaptation of one of his books that I actually thought they did well. Christopher Lee was great in that.
I remember seeing this when it aired and thinking it was terrible. They seemed to be trying to lean into the camp but they weren't very good at it. The maze display looked almost exactly like an early Atari 2600 game called "Maze Craze". I remember wondering if they were literally using the video game, but given the technology of the time it would have been easier to use traditional animation techniques.
Previously, all I've ever known about this movie is a brief clip of it in an ITV Christmas movies trailer package from 1982. Surely it was a pilot for a proposed series?
@@colleencrouch4346 I would agree with that assessment. They loved shoving that Southern-fried halfwit character into films in that period, which dragged all of them down a notch or two.
The movie could be better if Christopher Lee start to talk in the end.... asking for help, and the voice reduce like the shrinking, That could be FUN!. But a Ted Danson movie could be like other Danson things like "how to crash CSI franchise" :) or the thing of the bar serie, or the thing of the doctor serie.... or other things... you name it. By the way, YOUR DAD replaying you in the videos, IT's PRICELESS!, Genial!.
As far as Sangster's writing credit...there are all sorts of ways that he DIDN'T write what ended up on the screen but his was the only name left. It's like Val Guest ending up with his name as the writer of the movie "Toomorrow" (something I wish you'd do) when it was actually three other people all of whom had their names removed.
"Candestine"? I think you missed a letter there. ') As for the movie, I knew it was cheesy, but I was 13 when it came out and Mary Louise Weller in spandex did it for me. ;)
Somewhere, in the deepest recesses of my mind, I feel like I have actually seen this one. In 1980, I would have been around 6 or 7, which does seem to be around the age they were targeting...
Chris is still alive, what's to stop him from retargetting the ray and shooting it. Also to work on the computer, shrink the scientist down to the size where he can work on the super computer. On Banacek, the computer never existed 👍😁 A good review, I never heard of this movie, I'll check it out. Like the girl squad or the female version of the Dirty Dozen 👍
Are you referring to the TV BANACEK, the short-lived 1972-73 series starring George Peppard (I think it was) as a private investigator--cum--troubleshooter? If so, you've got quite the memory. I'm surprised that anyone would even remember it.
I use to work for a TV evangelist and he had a private elevator that went straight from his private garage to his private office..... and yes he had a gigantic salt water aquarium.
Wow! This movie looks SO bad I could hardly finish your review. Nothing personal to you. However, I have finished all five of your books and am eagerly awaiting another. Thank you for your channel and books.
This is One for the "Man, how the hell did his career survive?" movies list. If you're a good actor and you're British it is easier to survive. Lee is a f#cking legend so what ever he did, he would survive. Dansen had good hair to help him, even though he is a good actor.
I would love to see Christopher Lee on the top of the Hoover dam shouting “ This is Democracy manifest!” Never heard of this movie, thanks for the review so I never have to watch it. 🤭
Lee has the world's most uncomfortable looking wheelchair, requiring him either to lean back all the time - but not far enough to be comfortable - or sit up without support. In the face of the rest of the film, it barely registers, but it makes my back hurt every time I see it!😉
Was the miniaturised aircraft carrier a leftover model shot from Danger Death Ray? Another good weekly question would have been which other supervllains really didn't think their plan through. My pitch: A nightmare on Elm Street. The children of Elm st are having bad dreams, in which a boy called Freddy Kruger is always excluded by other kids from all the fun activities Just because his burnt face and blade hands make him look a bit different! Their parents eventually confess to this, and Freddy uses outlandish dream scenarios to teach the children about the value of diversity and inclusion, and a result their parents come to realise they were wrong to think bad things about Freddy just because of how he looked. Everyone goes in for a group hug at the end, but Freddy realises he can't because of his blade hands. He laughs. Everyone joins in. The end.
Hmmmmmm...this scenario sounds a whole lot like Johnny Depp's character in Tim Burton's EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. But I think it might work, either as a stand-alone or maybe even an addition to the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET canon. I say why not---movie producers & TV show developers have always continually ripped off each other's ideas.
This epic is all over the place. Even the greatness of Christopher Lee couldn't save this hot mess. Jimmy Sangster wrote this...really?! Hey @ the end of the day most importantly.. everyone involved got paid, mission accomplished!!💰
Despite protests, this is OBVIOUSLY meant as a spoof. Not necessarily a good spoof, but clearly a spoof. (And someone paid good money for a few of those set pieces, starting with that truck crash narrowly avoided by the stuntman!)
Ted Danson looks better in the Bond role than Daniel Craig. TRIVIA NOTE: Christopher Lee actually did play a Bond villain ( Scaramanga ) in The Man With The Golden Gun , written by his cousin, Ian Fleming.
A Friday the 13th movie where Jason nicely runs a camp for little kids. Or a Nightmare on Elm Street movie where a nice Freddy charms children with candy and toys.
Rather bizarre that two Hammer veterans (Lee and Sangster) worked on this thing. The co-writer wisely hid behind a pseudonym (Lemuel Pitkin is taken from Nathanael West’s novel A Cool Million).
I **REALLY** love your Dad, Robin. Maybe you can do a Top Ten video on stupid scientific "laws" in movies, and then your Dad can debunk each and every one. That would be SO cool. We can start with Lily Tomlin in The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
And he had more than a couple of words to say too!
I'm not alone! Thanks kali
Nice seeing the Dark Corners Science Advisor as well as Christopher Lee.
Your dad deserves his own series.
The kid friendly family version of The Shining could have Danny racing the twin sisters around the hotel on their Big Wheels.
It's actually the rare element “etcetera” that causes the shrinking effect. The alpha and gamma particles just provide the power.
Well, one can’t explain the entire process in the movie; otherwise, nefarious individuals will exploit it for evil purposes.
@@NoirFan01 I guess that works the same way as Monty Python's mini-documentary about the World's Funniest Joke. If they'd used the real one it would have killed the audience, which would have been hilarious in it's way but also highly illegal.

I'm curious what he'd think of "The Andromeda Strain".
Love those War of the Worlds circa 1953 sound effects when it comes down to the laser fire.
Also used in Filmation cartoons like Flash Gordon.
And in Star Trek (original series) as the sound for when photon torpedoes are fired.

It might have made a tremendous Get Smart episode, but that had folded its tent long ago. I just hope Lee was able to buy himself something nice after this.
I'd like to think Get Smart would never slide to this level of quality, but that may just be blurry nostalgia talking.
