My ex girlfriend was a Sci Fi buff and begged to go see Battlefield Earth in the theatre. We went on a rainy night and 15 minutes into the film, the entire place lost power due to a lightning strike. We were saved!
Guess we know why she's your ex-girlfriend now...
@@raptorfae.6645 HA!
So even GOD hated the movie and threw a thunderbolt at the theatre! Cool.
@@ferociousgumby That's how it went down. I only wish the film had not been released to any form of home video.
Honestly ppl I still never saw this. It gave Blockbuster Video the plague.
This movie was filmed in Montreal right near my house. We found out that inside scenes were being filmed at an old shopping center that was gonna be torn down soon. So every night my friends and I would ride there with our bikes, sit down on the ground next to the secured gate and just watch the flickering blue lights go on and off. It was so cool but the coolest thing is when we first saw Travolta walk to his trailer with his full suit on. It scared the shit outta us but he actually came up to us and said hi. Seriously one of the coolest experiences of my life. Yeah the movie sucked but I’ll never forget those days. Great memories!
Wat!? This was filmed in Montreal!?!?!?!? I can't tell if I'm proud or ashamed
Bruh, that's pretty cool.
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

terrible movie, wholesome memories
Alternate title for this video: Chris Stuckmann's Spiralling Descent into Madness
I feel warned as f- I still have to process the intro even if I didn't watch it for the 1st time x'D
Madness this video as ads it'll cause me to have madness.
He had to be mad before watching cause half the shit he complains about is explained in film or is made obvious intentionally. Kind of makes me doubt his intelligence
Drunk on Wine
The director of this movie also worked as a set decorator for the first Star Wars movie and the first Alien movie... in fact he helped design the LIGHTSABER and R2D2, two of the most popular things affiliated with Star Wars, he then won an Oscar for Best Art Direction, so technically the director of this movie is an “Oscar winner” just not in the way you would think at first.
Well, as a director, he sure is a great set decorator
I beleive that John Travolta influenced a lot of decisions .
I'm glad this movie didn't kill Forrest Whitaker's career.
+DarthCipient Yeah he's dodge a quite a few bullets over the years...
Battlefield Earth
Species
Vantage Point
Where the Wild Things Are
+3rd Gunman Where The Wild Things Are isn't a bad movie.
He was the least shit part of Taken 3.
+Obscure Entertainment He just because the corn is separate don't make not a turd
+3rd Gunman What?
Saw this movie in 2000 in a theater across the street from a Scientology center in Hollywood. When it ended, it got a standing ovation.
Lol. I'll bet.
Lol!
Thomas LeRoy Lol omg. Should of showed up in a scream outfit for fun.
No fucking way!😂😂
of one person no doubt
Your review is the closest I'll ever come to watching this movie.
Wise choice!!! 🤡🚬
@@benediktgraf8659 I'm hurting for more Hilariocity reviews.. binged all these in 2 days.
Bruh, it's so bad it's great.
@John Anderson you're talking my talk! We would be great co host movie reviewers! * you'd be red to my method man.
*** or vice versa
Ditto
I remember Roger Ebert's brutal review of this where he said "glad that smell o vision never became a thing".🤣
IMAGINE THE SMELL
Don't know, why so many people give a damn about Roger Ebert and consider his babbling legit...
We're talking about that simple-minded prick who called "Fight Club" a "Fascist big-star movie and macho porn"!!!
I don't get, how someone who was too simple-minded and deluded to recognize "Fight Club" the brilliant biting social satire, character study, psychological Thriller and dark comedy it is, can be such a respected critic, whose confused babbling gets validated regularly...
@@benediktgraf8659 I don’t get it either. His take on videogames is pathetic at best.
@@benediktgraf8659 You do understand that film criticism is subjective. It is just his honest opinion and you cannot judge somebody with just one review.
Ebert had a 50 year long career and wrote thousands of reviews. Most of them were brilliant and spot on.

This movie is what I call... Travolting
Budum..tsssst
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Bortak Harsh!
Wait, no it isn't! That was 100% deserved. What was Travolta thinking anyway?
Good one 👍.
Amazing.
"It's like Star Wars, but better" - John Travolta talking about Battlefield Earth in a press interview before the movie released
Better than Star Wars:Last Jedi?
@@LS-oq3qh not a lot of films are worse than The Last Jedi. But this one is an exception
@@BaranoffIsaac I don’t think people need convincing mate
Watched this movie in the theater while on LSD. Every single fart I had in me got laughed out.
Awesome idea. On my bucket list now.
One day if my son really pisses me off, I'll use this film as punishment. Like, "dad, I failed math." and I'll respond, "that's it, go watch Battlefield Earth!" And he'll reply, "nooooooooooooo."
That's why you'll never have a son.
I actually have two.

Sounds like scientology itself...
Nah
Yeah!

skipper dalopez
this is what happens when a cult gets so powerful and makes a movie
As a former crew chief on an F-15, I found the harriers working after 1000 years the worst part of the movie. If you let those planes sit for a year, you have to replace practically everything, not to mention 1000 years.
Even leaving an ordinary car in storage for a few years, even at a steady temperature indoors, off its wheels and sitting on good jack stands, will cause it to deteriorate. Every bell and seal will need replacement if it’s a decade or two. Must be much worse with a jet airplane.
Makes you realize how much of USA and Russia tanks, fighters, and vehicles in storage simply don't work anymore
Oh exactly
The fuel itself would be a thousand years old so we know that didn't work
And they were just fueled so where'd they get the fuel from
But yeah being a thousand years old I couldn't match that either
But they had to have flying craft from somewhere you know and
That's when the Dim with writer
We'll put harriers in it
Because you couldn't think of any other kind of aircraft
But there was some funny moments I thought we're good
It always echo these things
But it was says well overtooth Transfer
But yeah the entire fight in the nuclear weapon and blowing up the planet
It was not exactly well fought out
Cool concept was really stupid people writing it
Well see this radiation kills the planet's atmosphere
Although you're gonna send a nuclear bomb, and this is the one in blue and the whole planet up
OK, let's think about this for a minute. There is a planet floating around in the universe somewhere in the same kind of thing that we are that has caused me background radiation everywhere
And yet one little tiny nuclear bomb that you can carry in your hands
Is it going to blow the whole planet up
That was really poorly thought out cool effect
The whole rider through the breath gas exploding
And then think about it's out in space with s***Tons of radiation that makes it nuclear bomb look Is tiny and weak
But yet it doesn't explode
They didn't think that very well at all
And the whole gold thing in fort knox was kind of funny too I thought that was hilarious
Because you would think if they had that kind of technology. You could just jump from anywhere right there immediately
They'd have better ways of detecting gold and see it in fort knox
But still it was cool effect that way. They didn't know to worry about anything was all there
Not very wealth all out
But there was some cool effects in the whole story. Light about aliens on the planet was kind of funny and
It was kind of cool idea
They got ruined by but you're stupid
Or well
Good to know.
Me: "Mom can we watch that new Star Wars movie?"
Mom: We have Star Wars at home."
*Star Wars at home:*
And fans dislike every sequel/prequel/spinoff when this exists?
@@steamboatwill3.367 no the joke is when your parents say we have it home its always immensely unsatisfactory and and low grade from the whatever you asked your parents to get
@@ladedade23Blunticus ) and my point is this film is worse.
🤣
ladedade23 he still don’t get it.
My favourite part about this is that John Travolta was pumped about this film and they were in talks to make a sequel, sort of assuming that it would do awesome. Then... people saw it. Lol.
Prior to its release, the head of Franchise Pictures (the company who made the movie), Elie Samaha, said of the film, “It’s going to make people in Hollywood take notice of Elie Samaha. I’m not going to be the laughing stock anymore.”
@@tyrantgregcagkaiju71 Little did he know...
Selective Pontification Little indeed 🙄.
@@tyrantgregcagkaiju71 THAT sure went well. LOL!
Tornado1994 Lol More or less, I guess 🙄. At least they made their money back on DVD and Blu-Ray 😆.
Whenever I hear about Scientology doing something terrible I just think: “Well at least David Miscavige had to go to the premier of Battlefield Earth and pretend that he liked it."
He probably actually did like it, though.
@@mr.doctor6774
The family did.
He didn't.
@@stickiedmin6508 The US of A. The country in which some rich and powerful guy can make his wife disappear... and nobody asks questions.
Precious. I thought you had to go to Chili to get such VIP treatment.
@Jazz Feline I beg to differ. Even in China or Russia, you'll get a trial. That said, I'll agree that some really weird stuff happened in several democratic countries but the case of Miscavidge's wife is just weird.
We are talking about America, here, not some banana republic.
Yann Fourn were you trying to say “Chile” like the country or “chili” like the food?
The best things about Battlefield Earth, is this review, and that uncontrollable Cosby impression
I bought this on VHS because the cover and title looked cool. That was about 15 years ago. Never even got to 20 minutes both the times I tried.
Chris....Why?.......WHY did you not film this entire thing in a Dutch Angle?
LOL!
3rd Gunman LOL
Ikr?! He could've had it all!
The real question is Chris why did you and your fiancee watch Battlefield Earth in the first place?
LOL!
Because he actually respects his audience
The people in charge of the Oscars should have, as a prank, have nominated Travolta for an Oscar for this movie. When he's about to do his acceptance speech, they should have brought some people dressed up as them 7 foot tall aliens Doing that evil weird laugh at him.
Oh lord, that's so... hilariously evil🤣
WITH ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL
Mwa-ha-ha-haaa!
I wish they had that much of a sense of humour
The studio submits movies for Oscar contention and then it’s voted on by all members of the academy... actors, directors, grips, writers etc. Just so you know how the Oscar voting is held
I rented this movie from Blockbuster one summer in college. I remember finishing it and asking "WTF was that?"
That bit when you lapsed into a Cosby Coma is hilarious. This movie makes you so mad and your misery is in inverse proportion to my enjoyment. Thanks for taking a hit for the team.
And suddenly...Bill Cosby impression.
+Slimy Weasles Without a rape joke. Dignity still lives on!
thatonedude675 Yeah, that too! It's an old-fashioned Bill Cosby joke.
+thatonedude675 Hannibal Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist on stage around Oct 2014, this review was before that
bk148324 Don't ruin this moment
There had been Bill Cosby rumors since the early 1980s. His people did a great job 'pre-internet' of keeping the story off the front pages.
Fun fact: John Travolta came within inches of being declared a 'suppressive person' and thrown out of Scientology by David Miscavige himself (the chairman of Scientology) because this movie is so bad.
The dude were nearly went out of Scientology the easiest way possible. Damn Travolta!
Damn unfortunatr
@Alan Smithee Yep. He could actually force a rubber hose up someone's nose and would get away with it.
@@michaelskoomamacher5652 In that Times article in 90s, one of of the former members revealed Travolta is being threatened by Scientology about details of his sexual life.
Tia Aaron what???
I find it interesting how Chris went from this high energy and fun to him sitting in a chair looking sad and depressed.

anyone watching this in 2020 to make them laugh? love them.
"Worst hero ever"
"Worst villains ever."
This sounds like a great movie!

Dariush Asadi 'this sounds look'
Eradicated Noodle Yeah, this movie has LSD vibes to it!
It isn't a good movie
This movie is crap, but the book is amazing. They changed so much...every plot hole in the movie was created for the movie. Wish they had made the book into a movie.

I thought Chris had edited it that way, but I think the film was edited that way.
your impressions of Travolta's character are perfect xD
No one:
Half of this comment section: 50 cycles with infinite options for renewal!
*endless options
Chris, you forgot to give it a rating at the end. I mean, I know it's an easy A+ but it'd be nice to just confirm.
I think that by not giving it a rating, he gave it a rating... you know what I mean? lol
GOBIAS Industries You're right, the A+ goes without saying for this magnum opus.
***** Magnum Opus?? More like Magnum Anus...
GOBIAS Industries Lol, sounds like a name a brand of giant suppositories would come up with: Magnum Anus! Hurt as hell, but works very well!
Yeah, it was kinda dumb, but it can't be dumber than this movie...
you're funny Anik
This performance ended up being what inspired John Travolta's character in the fanatic. He thought to himself, "they think it can't get worse than this...they're wrong."
That movie at least got some laughs out of me. This movie made me want to go back to school after calling in sick.
Yeah but The Fanatic was actually terribly entertaining but this movie…. I’d rather stare at a white wall for 2 hours instead of this shit
I have this theory that he's been in so many bad movies because the other scientologists told him to
10:06
Ok Chris. So THIS is one of your very best. The Cosby impression has me rolling as I type!
You and I have GOT to do a side by side review one of these days.
Amazing. Simply amazing!
Great job, as always!
I miss these videos sooooo much. You have so much energy man. I watch these once in a while when I have a gaming night. I haven't had one in literal months until tonight! I forgot how good they are! I do understand why you changed your mindset but honestly, you seem to be having so much more fun in these videos!
I almost pissed myself laughing watching this review. I wish you'd make more of this kind of review. I friggin love it
You, I laughed so hard I was left speechless.
you, i laughed so hard i punched a baby.
sameeexD ahaha
Same 😂 I’ve seen this one six times
Nat Cat yup
The worst thing is this movie made $21 Million
I'd agree with you but considering how "the church" operates, it was probably just some way to launder money.
Christopher Rodriguez Actually have you seen the way it was advertised? "Based on one of the best Sci-Fi books of all time." That with the celebrity cast is bound to make SOME money. It still didn't meet the budget of the actual film, so it was still a bomb.
LikeABus Well, it allegedly cost $75 million to make and grossed $30 million...
George Salisbury How the heck did that cost NEARLY that much?!
George Salisbury Although technically, a subsequent lawsuit discovered that the film only cost around $45 million to make and that the production company essentially stole the remainder. They were eventually found guilty, had to pay a settlement and finally filed for bankruptcy.
Going back through these I just realized this was uploaded on my birthday. Thanks Chris, I hat- love it.
That's probably the best review I've seen in a while ... I laughed so hard at your reactions 😂😂
In all seriousness, I challenge Hollywood to remake this and make it good. Really.
Why not improve on crap instead of ruin classics?
Edit: This is a little late, but I'm glad to see that they did exactly that with Dune!!
If someone can make this film good. I will believe in god. Neither will happen.
@@TheTeufelhunden68 The book itself has some flaws, but it's decent enough. But it's very long, and it's more of a parody than serious sci-fi. It could be turned into a good movie, but it would need to be very different to this one. And you'd need to film multiple parts because you couldn't properly tell the story in just one movie.
@cumquatrct3 I was aware that there was supposed to be a followup to Battlefield Earth, but the original left out so many important parts of the story that it didn't make any sense. There's a reason Terl needs Humans as miners, and a reason why Terl doesn't understand Humans at all. But the film doesn't really explain this, and it makes it a much weaker film overall.
I think the film would have done better if it had started in an earlier time period, shortly before the invasion. It could have started with the launch of Voyager, followed that with the Psychlos discovering Voyager and learning where Earth is and the fact they can find gold there, and then shown the invasion, including desperate scenes of nuclear bombs being used to blow up the invading forces. That could be followed up with the final scene of the Earth being covered by poisonous gas delivered by giant spacecraft. After that, they could have shown the Chinkos being sent to Earth to preserve Human books and buildings, as well as learn Human languages and culture. They could show them recording their information, and then being exterminated as a race by the Psychlos for being useless.
All of that might have taken 15 - 20 minutes, but it would have explained a lot of the background the film is missing in a "show, don't tell" method. Because ultimately, films should be about storytelling, and even though Battlefield Earth has many weaknesses, I'd argue that not telling the story well would be it's worst.
Medical science would have a better chance at making a "good" form of metastatic breast cancer.
@@rodh1404 The film is so infamous that if a remake were to receive positive reviews, there would be money to be made in it.
This could also potentially launch a new trend. Poorly executed book adaptions that are properly executed in the remake.
haha Chris lost his mind reviewing this shit. so you could say Scientology prevailed :O
+Thomas E I see what you did there lol
Quick! We must help him before the aliens take possession of his body! LOL!!
quiet, man animal!
Should have called them ,,Manimals“, missed opportunity...
It’s because “manimal” is a show that already exists. It’s probably copyrighted.
Watching Chris slowly go insane is my favorite thing this week....

When you kept on zooming in saying "Endless options for renewal" I spat out my drink LMAO. You are awesome
Your impression of John Travolta's alien character is spot-on and hilarious.
.....
I wonder when they decided to make the aliens sound like demented middle class Englishmen with there pants on too tight.
10:00 - "Poor Johnny learns his transfer request was denied." I think you meant Turl.
John Travolta would later make a worse movie, The Fanatic
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that even possible.
Just watched it,very odd movie.
Watch out! Watch out! Heeeere's Moosey!
"...With endless options for renewal.

Wow. Talk about pointless repetition for no reason whatsoever. Sums up how badly made the film is.
I think it drives home the repetitiveness of his fate. Nothing wrong with it
Timliu92 Nothing wrong with repetitiveness, unless it makes the movie a boring mess...
I love how most of the Hilariocity films involve a "John" of some kind:
Battlefield Earth: Johnnie (The hero) and John Travolta
The Room: Johnny (Tommy Wiseau)
The Wicker Man: The film was devoted to Johnny Ramone
Steel: John Henry Irons (Shaq)
Mortal Kombat Annihilation: Johnny Cage
Batman and Robin: John Glover as the mad doctor
The upcoming Vampire's Kiss review: Johnny Walker (actor)
John does sometimes mean dick
+darkdemonsouls or bathroom facility aka toilet

Great observation.👏🏾👏🌟
Chris, whenever I’m having a bad day, I come back and watch this video. And also the Cats review. They are comedy gold

"we decided to keep you on for 50 cycles"

this was 1000% more entertaining than the movie good job 😂
The Catching Fire poster in the background completes this review nicely. Katniss is trying to do you a favor and shoot out the screen, sparing you the horror of this terribad movie.

Or trying to shoot Chris in the head.
I just realized that I’ve seen this review six times 😂. I frickin love this channel.
Alden Williams only six?
He really missed the opportunity to have different wipes for every cut though...
That's called brain damage my man....might wanna get that checked out.
I though I was the only 1 who watched chris' reviews over and over again lol
Sometimes when you watch older videos, you can see the development of a person on TH-cam. But to be honest Chris Stuckmann is a great recensist, he is funny, honest and trustworthy.

This movie is why Scientologists aren't taken seriously across the world
Uhhh no. Scientology is why Scientologists aren't taken seriously by sane and reasonable people.
@@TalicZealot I wonder why Christianity is taken serious
@@gkkato9249 true..
In an alternate reality this was the greatest film ever made.
Also in that reality humanity is almost extinct from an unimaginably high suicide rate.
Where people see garbage, I see opportunity. Somebody should take this movie, re-edit and re-dub it, and turn it into a full blown comedy!
Gardner De Aguiar Even better: remakes.
At least you can't do worse, and some bad movies also have huge potential, why not exploit that?
30 minutes of Chris gradually losing his mind.
I know, right?
Should see him review the live action Dbz movie 🍿
Taco Of Love 💗 that review is the one good thing that came out of Dragonball Evolution’s existence.
Definitely, without any fucking doubt, deeper, more valuable entertainment than this parody of a 'movie'!!!
I've been binge watching alla of the hillarioricity vidoes and I'm fucking laughing like never before. Love you Chris, the best movie reviewer in the world.
22:00 - The gold bars would likely be "perfect" as you say. If pure gold does actually tarnish, it's never been seen before. Gold is possibly the least reactive metal on Earth.
Forest Whitaker looks like a swollen up Whoopi Goldberg
The Dance Party oh good god
A swollen up Whoopi Goldberg...isn't that redundant? Like a "tiny shrimp"?
I’m in school, read this, and started crying cause I was laughing so hard.
So, like Whoopi Goldberg then, in other words.
The "endless options for renewal" impressions was hilarious Chris
I’ve learned a great deal about film from you Chris. Keep up the good work my man: btw I’ve probably watched this video already but I rewatch your videos because pot erases me memory. Dutch angle! I remember that!
My favourite Stuckmann video ever
Gold doesn't tarnish. It stays perfect and shiny. Gold jewelry that were made a thousand years ago look like they could have been crafted yesterday.
Many, many people and countries have historical traditions based on that and scientific fields that exist solely because of this fact
Is it also dustproof.
@@Paul_The_Spaceman lol.
The point I think he was making is that somebody opened the vault previously and DIDN'T take any gold for some reason
@Jeff V I'm skeptical of the first, but vaguely remember the second. That said, thank you, I shall check this.
I actually liked the book. It had some decent plot twists. I saw, but blocked out the movie.
Later on, I learned that Psyclos were, according to Hubbard, an actual super race that was corrupted by - wait for it - psychiatrists.
Look, I'm not trying to defend L. Ron Hubbard or his batshit crazy "religion", but I will say that psychiatry, or rather the broader field of psychology, is a field that has earned a certain level of distrust. Not that I believe any of the shit that Hubbard tried to push, but I'll say that his distrust of psychiatry was not unfounded.
@@TH3F4LC0Nx I'm a former psychology major and I'm curious...what are some of your issues with psychology/psychiatry? I know about the misuse of psychology/psychiatry in the past (lobotomies, electroshock "treatment", "conversion" therapy, etc...) But I think today psychology has recognized its mistakes and is self correcting. Again just curious.
Ok, I just wanna preface what I'm about to say here by saying I don't mean to offend you, or anyone else who is interested in psychology. I, myself, at one time wanted to be a psychology major. Anyway, here goes: psychology is 10% science and 90% bullshit. Why is psychology like that, you may ask? For the simple reason that psychology is separate from all other branches of science in that the thing being studied is the exact same thing as the tools used to study it. By that, I mean that psychology, as you doubtless already know, is the study of the human mind. What do we use to study the human mind with? Other human minds. The human mind is an immensely complex thing; it is also fallible and subject to bias. That's why psychology has led to many dangerous theories in the past that have no actual basis in reality. Psychology is unique among the sciences in that the burden of proof often rests not on the person making a claim to prove that claim to be true, but rather on others to prove that claim untrue. Psychology is a reversal of the normal way in which theories are tested. Take, for example, Sigmund Freud. Freud is the granddaddy of analytical psychology; even people who know nothing about psychology know his name. At one time, his books were treated as gospel; now, they're recognized for what they were. That is, complete crap. As a psychology major, you probably already know that no institution of any merit would EVER use Sigmund Freud as a citation or reference in any article or paper today. So much of what he postulated has been revealed to be utter garbage. As an example, take penis envy. That one is just hilarious by today's standards, being a blatantly sexist male fantasy. Today, we know that penis envy is total shit. Karen Horney, however, postulated womb envy as a rebuttal to Freud's theory. Is there any evidence for that one either? Of course not! Both of those things are just people thinking that if they articulate and give voice to things which they would like to be true, that that will make them true. It doesn't. An even bigger imbecile who is still revered today is Carl Jung. Half of everything that guy said is EXTREMELY misogynistic and racist, (not to mention the fact that he was dangerously close to being an all-out Nazi!). I mean really; the Anima, the Shadow? Do those things even exist, or are they just the ramblings of a deeply sexist man who disparaged women every chance he got? I should add here that I am, above all else, an individualist. I do not believe that a person's nature is determined by either their race or their gender. Yes, there are things that are distinct between men and women; women, in general, tend to feel emotion more deeply than men, but then again, there are plenty of women out there who don't. That's because people are individuals who cannot be defined by any one thing. When I read shit by Carl Jung in which he says things like, "It is not in a woman's nature to...(insert whatever you wish)", that just pisses me off, because one woman is not comparable to another. That's another problem I have with psychology; it tries to relegate the human mind, a thing that is largely unique to every person, into categories that can be easily defined. Life isn't that simple. But psychology is a field that people who have some wild-ass agenda flock to because it allows them to say whatever they wish, because when you're dealing with intangible concepts, it's very difficult to objectively argue. Take, for example, Jordan Peterson, (who, I might add, is an ardent disciple of Carl Jung, which really explains a lot, actually...). Anyway, there is a video you can see on TH-cam of Peterson giving a lecture in which he makes a STUNNINGLY insipid claim. He claims in this video that the symbol of two entwined snakes, a symbol that can be found in artwork the world over, is actually a representation of the double-helix of DNA, which ancient peoples discovered by taking hallucinogenic drugs and mind-tripping their way to a scientific discovery that was not actually made until centuries later. I'm not kidding, he actually thinks that! It couldn't be that snakes entwine themselves together when mating. No, that would be too boring. Occam's Razor goes out the window with Peterson! Anyway, to wrap this up, I'll just say that I distrust psychology because it is a field of study where things that are at one time accepted as truth are then thrown out later on down the road. Yes, all sciences are constantly evolving, but psychology takes it to a whole new level. How can you trust something now that will likely be tossed out later?
@@TH3F4LC0Nx That is an interesting view about this field of science.
@@TH3F4LC0Nx cool story bro
9 years ago! LOL What a stud.. Been watching you for years dude. Can't wait for Shelby Oaks!
I think the movie's a fun watch. I'd never read the book (i found a copy of Dianetics, which I tried to read; it tells you you have to get rid of your preconceptions about language. That's like the 2nd thing a cult does to you.) because of the author, but I thought it was hilarious, interesting and actually engrossing. There are movies not worth watching. This one might be near that line, but it's not bad bad.
This is like "The Wolf of Wall Street" of TH-cam videos. The amount of F*CK's in this review is astonishing, especially from you Chris :D
***** Haha that's funny that you mention that because I only actually noticed him say fuck once. I'm sure you're right but somehow I never even notice it. I saw Wolf of Wall Street and afterward ppl were talking about how many f words there were, and I thought about it and thought yeah that's probably true, but never noticed that many during the movie. Whatever, it's just another word.
midnight15086 Actually, he said it at least 20 times. It was/is pretty crazy considering how much he tries to keep his reviews clean...I guess Battlefield Earth can just do that to any person who subjects themselves to it. :) LOL
Darin Michael Numbers win!
Having suffered through Battlefield Earth, I honestly believe it would make the Pope himself drop the F-bomb a few times.
shishkarobb Lol I've never seen Battlefield Earth but Chris's review had me laughing constantly. Sounds like a terrible movie.
I just watched it, it took me a whole week to get through it!!!
We're proud of you, its not easy.
Seth Brundle Thanks man
Liam Shields Your welcome, now just watch it with your buddies one day while drinking.
A week of your life you will never get back
Ithila I know, right :(
I MISS YOU CHRIS PLEASE COME BACK TO REVIEWS LIKE THESE
Watching this in 2020 makes me think of the many moments where Chris goes insane with this Hilariocity reviews.
I just assumed Chris was doing a terrible impression of the evil laughs at first but nope, he was spot-on
"Who runs like that with their arms flailing? Nobody!" Er.... Captain Jack Sparrow.
Steven Seagal when he was able to run. It's truly amazing :))
Grandpa the Grey Don't you dare say that about my man jack! He runs better than that.
@@kylereese3647: Jack Sparrow runs like a limp wrist little girl who just touched worm guts, but it's funny & unique to the character.
*Forrest Gump maybe?*
*why do i keep returning and re-watching this movie review over and over?...must be the impressive use of all those Dutch Angles and transition wipes*
BTW, are you any relation to Randolph Mantooth?
Fun fact, when John Travolta was shilling this movie he said two blatant lies. One, Battlefield Earth is he best science-fiction book of all time, he never read any. Two, this movie is a faithful adaptation of the book. The book was better.
I didn’t realise this was film a Travolta / Scientology abortion. Makes perfect sense now.
This movie is sadly what ruined John Trevolta's career. I mean, I'd be entirely embarrassed to even know the guy after this.
Chris’s imitation of John Travolta is just... brilliant xD
So this is where the sniper dude from saving Private Ryans career went wrong...
I was wondering what happened to him.... Ha!
