I think getting McFarlane on board for the cartoon, and also having it as directly tying into the comics helped. My understanding is that the numbers that flash up in the cartoon shows where the cartoon happens within the comics. I watched the cartoon straight after watching the original Hellsing anime, and honestly, I couldn't say which was better.
My only problem with the animated series was that it ended on a cliffhanger. Wanda was impregnated by Spawn, Angela only made a cameo, and the whole Mask of Genghis Khan plot was never resolved.
Soony 005 The HBO Series was amazing. McFarland had to take the animation to Japan because no American animation studios could get the look he wanted. I think they did a hell of a job. And Keith David as Spawn was EPIC. EPIC!
I recall an interview with McFarlane where his first question to HBO suits was can we say fuck and they said yes. I believe they weren’t the first place he went to pitch it.
There's an extra detail that's easy to miss in the movie. Before fighting breaks out at the fancy dinner there is a gorgeous redhead in a green and white dress walking around. She is wearing special earrings known in the comics as a hunting license. they basically look like a zoom in of a spawns face. She is literally an Angel, out to hunt demons. It would have been really nice in the movie to see an Angel versus Spawn or Violator.
Thank goodness there are people who actually appreciate Spawn the movie. It's awesome and as a kid I never thought it was goofy and I was pretty aware of goofy movies at that time.
Hey Minty, Mc Farlanes here on TH-cam stating recently, that he's working on the reboot. It came out last year in an interview. Great video. That movie started the current toy collecting craze. 👍😉👌
Armando Dy ....i remember the Mcafarlane toy craze...he had the hottest looking comic book! Its a shame they dont draw like they used to..the early heyday of spawn comics is really incredible..today its not so great.
Hey, Minty, here's an bonus fact for ya: during filming, the crew were discussing using cgi to make the Clown look smaller. But John Leguizamo petitioned to let him play the role squatting instead of standing up, and thus the special effects crew were relieved of one more detail. Not a big fact, true, but worth mentioning.
I remember, since I already about 9-10 years old when Spawn was a thing. You can't walk 10 feet into a toy store or comic book store without seeing anything Spawn related.
Great review minty. I thoroughly enjoyed this 90's movie adaptation. The cartoon of Spawn ended early, the comic books ended early, the movie ended early
Not only that, but the Clown suit required him to squat in order to fit inside it, so he had to endure the entire production squatting while carrying around nearly 50 pounds of extra weight from the fat suit and special effects makeup.
wstine79...I would LOVE to see an Image cinematic universe and definitely all the characters you’ve mentioned but I’m not so sure about The Savage Dragon (who is my favorite by the way) only because that character/comic is waaaay more adult/r-rated than Spawn especially in the last 5 years. If they did make a Savage Dragon movie it’d probably just be watered-down and pandered more towards kids like the cartoon was. If they wanted to stay true to the source material they’d have to make a live-action show and air it either on Netflix, HBO, Showtime or Starz lol
Another funny thing, two of the people involved in the Spawn movie later worked on Garfield. Mark A.Z. Dippe directed the direct to DVD Garfield movies while Frank Welker, who previously did voices on Garfield and Friends, became the voice of the fat cat himself.
My favorite movie ever! I can still remember seeing this in the theater when I was 14. Been collecting Spawn comics and memorabilia since...love spawn!
I preferred HBO series for staying closer to comics. But still very underrated movie- action drama and thriller. Hands down White’s best performance. Would have been nice to have sequels thou’
True mortal kombat was pg13 but the studio wouldnt let it go any further then that. I think the same situation was withe the theater release of spawn. Both still good movies though.
Mortal Kombat actually fits as a PG-13 if you follow the storyline. The fatalities are almost all non-canon. Barely anyone ever dies in the series, and if they do, it's offscreen between games, and always retconned away. If you check the story of the first game, the first movie is actually far more violent, as the only death was Scorpion burning Sub-Zero.
Michael Jai White's role as spawn is still one of my favorite anti heros. I still follow him on TH-cam. Former martial champ and generally a cool ass guy. His backstory is huge and full of cool stuff. I hate he never got the chance to make a sequel. Also, can you please do Ladyhawke
15:00 sadly, it was ONLY 1 YEAR early because in 1998, the WORLD EMBRACED BLADE which had a comedic dark side as well AND dealt with a sort of "demons from hell" feel! Awesome video minty, nice job
Also of note, the angelic Spawn hunter Angela made a brief cameo in the party scene. When she brushes her red hair aside you can see the Spawn earrings she wears as trophies.
DeLiqueRS Don’t get to exited, it’s been in pre production limbo for forever. Low budget and Todd won’t give up the directors chair and has made Spawn a mere ”shadow” more or less only hinted at in the new movie....
He played the clown... The violator was cgi... Idk if the clown can be considered his best role. Have you ever seen 'too Wong foo, thanks for everything Julie Newmar'. Now that's a good Leguizamo role.
@@poughkeepsieblue The clown is the Violator... same character, clown isnt a separate character just like a costume for Violator. A guy dressed as a clown is still a guy.
Don't forget THE LAST DRAGON when it comes to African American super hero movie leads that came before Spawn. That was one of the earliest and came out in 1985 and was directed by an African American director. Though the character was not based on a comic book, he was indeed a superhero.
@I Am The One Who Knocks I never said he was a villain. I'd put him in the same category as the punisher. More vigilante. I also very much like blade and spawn I dont know why you made the assumption I dont like black superheroes just because I dont feel blade fits the traditional superhero category
@I Am The One Who Knocks the last dragon is a martial arts film that has a supernatural element. The main character only even uses the glow towards the end. As for blade like I said he fits the vigilante role more so than a traditional hero. Also considering I like all the characters talked about in this thread I'd say your reading too much into it.
I liked it to. I actually went to see the pg13 theatrical release in theaters wasn't bad but ironically enough that's when I was first introduced to spawn enjoyed it since
I loved Spawn. I was SO excited when this came out because I collected the comics. I also loved the animated series which was darker and more graphic...which was awesome. Thanks for this video, Minty!
Minty you got a couple of things wrong in your intro: Malebolgia, the one who recruited Al Simmons to become Spawn, wasn't the Devil he was a "lord of Hell" which was one of Satan's Liege lords or vassal's. Cogilostro wasn't a demon either, he was a previous Spawn, notably "Medieval Spawn" in the comics.
@@sainttrunks1982 A "Spawn" isn't a demon, but a lost soul enslaved to become basically cannon fodder in battles against the Heavenly host. His living costume, that gives him his powers, is the demon.
@@neilprice513Alright your right technically based on the movie's perspective, But im looking at it from a realistic stand point and answering it as such. In the movie what you said is true. But realistically a human soul once there body's dead can't return to the earth under any circumstance or deal. But demons are allowed to takes it place/imitate particular humans and return to the earth.
Nice to see you're a fan of this one too! Spawn's my favorite pre-2003 live action comic book movie, so it's super refreshing to meet somebody else who really loved it. Even did a 45 minute review of it on my channel, :P And Jai White and Leguizamo absolutely crushed it, totally agree there. Really underrated acting performances.
Todd McFarlane is directing (from his own script) the reboot himself with Jamie Fox as AL Simmons and Jeremy Renner as Twitch. BlumHouse is distributing. So it will definitely be an R rated film.
I don't know, from what I've seen every time a comic writer and artist directs there own stuff to film it doesn't do so well. But hopefully Todd has observed the business long enough to know how to bring his vision to the screen.
Originally Todd McFarlane didnt approve of the final Violator demon because its pointy teeth were lined up too perfectly and not crooked or asymmetrical
Green Man - Very true. I would really like to see this movie completely remastered and released in an Unrated edition. I want to see all that stuff they had to take out in order to make it PG-13 along with some of today's CGI effects. It's the least the IP deserves.
@@blazerocker1734 they did a few years ago on Blu-ray. I was watching it earlier today for the first time. Mad that I come on TH-cam and find Minty uploaded about it.
Todd Mcfarlane is still working on his Spawn movie with Jamie Foxx to play Al Simmons/Spawn and Jeremy Renner as Twitch Williams. I did enjoy the Spawn movie but the animated series was just amazing.
I loved this movie. When spawn came out, our friends' parents picked us up from school in a limo and took us to see it. The animated series was great, too. I own both. Not really looking forward to the movie in production, though. I don't think anyone can capture Al Simmons like Michael Jai White or Keith David. I really think Lequizamo nailed The Violator.
Michael Jai White and John leguizamo where outstanding you want to talk about an underrated actor. This is a reboot-worthy movie which is in progress and it's gonna be rated R.
@Mike Bushnell No wonder I had never ever heard from the damn thing. Unlike the actual Ghost Rider the so called "Mecha" version is from an obscure videogame and not comic book lore.
If Spawn has had some of the effects used in _The Matrix_ , we wouldn't have had to wait 22 years for a bad ass sequel. I personally would *Love* to see Mike White take up this character again; he and Leguizamo were the best parts of that film😆!
The movie might be trash tho cause Todd says spawn is gonna barely be seen. Only in the shadows type shit. And it’s gonna revolve around Sam and twitch!!! Straight crap!!
I love the way your videos are produced bud, the subject matter and your personality just hits me with waves of nostalgia... straight out of the 90s keep em coming
This movie really needs a tuneup for today’s technology. Same story but add the elements of Al home life before he actually goes on his last mission and dies.
The fact that you mentioned Iced Earth and their album "The Dark Saga" just made me smile so big. I love them beyond words. They can do no wrong in my eyes.
Blade, Spawn, The Crow and Darkman are still my favorite Superhero movies because they are so dark and daring. That's why I liked the Venom movie so much, because it felt like a 90's superhero film.
I love that you have Orbital's track "SATAN" as the backing music Minty, even though it was in EVENT HORIZON, it would've fit this movie WAY better! And I proper love SPAWN! It got a bit panned for the CGI apparently looking really bad, but i like the movie still. And the comics. Nice vid Minty, nice one!!! 😄😄
Love this video! Another fun fact, the actor who portrayed Spawn can be seen in another recent and very dark superhero movie . . . The Dark Knight. He's the mobster who says, "Enough from the clown!" I guess he could never get away from evil clowns (I wouldn't be surprised that he had some kind of side role in one of the It installments)!
The movie was definitely ahead of it's time and I certainly did enjoy it especially when Spawn killed that lady and told her, everyday is Halloween where she is going to go.
Absolutely. Spawn should be made into a movie series now. I would be onboard for that. Interesting story, compelling characters. Spawn was my comic book series back in the day.
SPAWN: THE RECALL - FAN FILM is here on YT. I thought you would've mentioned it... The FX quality on this one is amazing and sets a high bar for any spawn film for the future!
I love all your videos and you've done most of my favorite cult classics from my youth, my friend was aSpawn fanatic and I wish he would get a proper reboot(I still like this one)

Horribly underrated movie. One of my favs as a kids. Also has the best cape in a of comics.
only rival would be Dr. Strange.
Sacred the shit out of me as a kid!!!
Spawn's cape is the real hero.
Agreed. I had a blast and to this day is still one of my all time favourite movies.
Yes!
Blade and the Crow were also two rated R 90s comic movies.
The matrix and Jaws are the 2 movies that made it okay to make mainstream R movies
Punisher
can't help but wonder how good this movie would have been if they weren't trying to make it PG-13 from the beginning.
I loved Spawn, Spawn HBO series, Blade 1,2,&3, also The Crow!
@@MetalFacedGamer jaws was PG-13
Even with it's flaws it's still enjoyable, however the HBO animated series is much more true to the comic. And still holds up.
I’d say it’s better than the comic. Well atleast the first couple of years

Cogliostro isn't a demon, he's a pre-existing spawn, who has lifted his cures. also Spawn wears a cloak not a cape.
It's a Cape. Cloaks have hoods and mcfarlane calls it a Cape. And his entire suite alive not just his cape without his suit he's just a corpse
Blade, Spawn, The Crow and Darkman are still my favorite Superhero movies because they are so dark and daring. That's why I liked the Venom movie so much, because it felt like a 90's superhero film.
Skip it...
Watch the HBO series with Keith David that was criminally cancelled.
Your Keith David has some great voice acting and it definitely brought some great attitude to spawn
Keith David will be coming back to Mortal Kombat 11 as the DLC character spawn
Great vid as always my friend. It's nice to have videos like this to watch when we are living in such a negative minded world.

Cage, Spawn, Nick fury, Black panther, Falcon/ Captain America. Quit crying
I love that you have Orbital's track "SATAN" as the backing music Minty, even though it was in EVENT HORIZON, it would've fit this movie WAY better! And I proper love SPAWN! It got a bit panned for the CGI apparently looking really bad, but i like the movie still. And the comics. Nice vid Minty, nice one!!! 😄😄
Movie sucked... but the HBO cartoon was 🔥
Thankyou so much for covering my favorite comic book character. And the awesome Industrial soundtrack for this video.
God that movie brings back so many memories. Initially this film is what started my superhero craze and made me into the man I am today.
Love how you put soundtrack in background, I bought that CD back in 99 or 2000 great soundtrack, great video 👍
So glad Minty gave a mention to Iced Earth...one of my favorite bands
Love this video! Another fun fact, the actor who portrayed Spawn can be seen in another recent and very dark superhero movie . . . The Dark Knight. He's the mobster who says, "Enough from the clown!" I guess he could never get away from evil clowns (I wouldn't be surprised that he had some kind of side role in one of the It installments)!
The movie was definitely ahead of it's time and I certainly did enjoy it especially when Spawn killed that lady and told her, everyday is Halloween where she is going to go.
Hellraiser meets Batman? That is not wrong! LOL
Absolutely. Spawn should be made into a movie series now. I would be onboard for that. Interesting story, compelling characters. Spawn was my comic book series back in the day.
You're right. Way ahead of it's time.
Have you done anything on Rawhead Rex? A video about that would be awesome!
Great job Minty! One of my favorite "Dark" sci-fi movies!
I wish they would go back and redo the cg
Do an episode on seven Psychopaths please! It's a really good underrated movie.
Minty again my mind is blown on the collection that you have, very awesome of you.

SPAWN: THE RECALL - FAN FILM
is here on YT. I thought you would've mentioned it... The FX quality on this one is amazing and sets a high bar for any spawn film for the future!
I love all your videos and you've done most of my favorite cult classics from my youth, my friend was aSpawn fanatic and I wish he would get a proper reboot(I still like this one)
Love how you used Trip Like I do for a lot of the background music, my fave song off the soundtrack
I saw spawn in theaters. Good of been better but wasn't bad
