@@jeffumbach From what I understand that is sort of what happened, according to the script Overdog was just supposed to laugh manicaly, but Ironsides ablibed the, 'I lied,' bit.
The "I'm not a dirty scav and I'm not out of diapers" line is both hilarious and brilliant, it's exactly the kind of response someone gives when they don't fully understand an insult that's just been thrown at them.
Of course he is, thugs and villains are never like the people they play, Gunnar Hansen, aka Leatherface, was said to crack jokes and have a great sense of humor. You can hear it on the commentary for Texas. Robert Englund paints and used to do Shakespeare plays.
@@homelesshannah50 The best example of "mean character, nice actor" could be Margaret Hamilton. She gave arguably the BEST wicked witch of the west ever in the 1939 "wizard of Oz", her crackled, high-pitched laugh, raspy voice and all in all ooze of pure evil gave children a scare for generations, but in real life she was a sweet and child loving kindergarten teacher.
My favourite Ironside villain, is probably Tyler from Heavy Metal 2000, where he delivers the line "Blind adulation makes me so Horny... BRING ME A WENCH!!!"
This was the movie my late father took me to see in the theatre so I could experience a 3D movie. I kept those cardboard glasses with the red and blue cellophane lenses for years - just because the outing had made him so happy. I don't think he necessarily liked the movie, but he'd gone to 3D movies in the 50s and wanted to take his daughter to one.
I wish there was an adult version of this film. It's similar to Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome in a way. They toned down the violence and nudity to make it kid friendly, but it's way too creepy and scary for kids anyway.
brandon you were dead on with that Utah refer. it was filmed in Moab utah. a couple of my friends were extras. this one canadian guy who was a "vehicle assistant" was stupid enough to get drunk at the local biker bar and insult a sundowner (the utah answer to hells angels) and after doing a stint at the local hospital was shipped home. they rented an old fenced in garage, and only came out to buy food and work after that incident.
While you were making all the Heavy Metal references, I'd been thinking about how Michael Ironside played the villain in "Heavy Metal: Fakk 2". His role in that movie was somewhat similar to Overdog.
I think one of the main reasons I enjoy movies from this era is the fact that I’m watching real people interacting with real things. SO MUCH of this would be CGI now, but I get to enjoy real creature costumes, real badass vehicles and real ironside buffoonery.
This was one of my childhood favourites, I've build so many lego-vehicles and sets, inspired by the aesthetic of the movie. It was also my gateway movie into the post-apocalyptic genre.
Michael Ironside was in a recent Dust short film mini-series as well. About a guy who has to rescue his ex-wife on a ship that gets stuck in a time-loop. Ironside plays as his commander very briefly in a flashback. :/
I always loved this movie .love the lingo Molly Ringwald uses..I remember it was playing on the drive -in screen behind us and I kept turning around to watch it because whatever movie we were watching must have been boring...Earthers Rule!!!
When you can tell raid shadow legends to piss off you know you've arrived. Well arrived somewhere but it's not where that herpes sponsor is and that's good for everyone.
Adventures plural in the Forbidden Zone. Hence that episodic second act. I always liked that about this movie, a little like the Odyssey or the Argonauts.
My Ma was a huge Peter Strauss fan, my earliest memories were watching. ‘Rich Man Poor Man’ with her. She also loved sci-fi, so when this was released on British TV, we watched together. I will always remember her eyes lighting up, saying with glee, “However do they think of all these amazing things!?” Miss you so, so much, Ma.
Rumor had it she had to flee to France to get away from John Hughes. Interesting that she came back to star in The Stand miniseries to play a girl who was obsessed over by a kid described in the novel as looking like Hughes.
This movie's like the entire 80's sci fi genre got hucked into a blender on liquidate, then fed through a diesel engine, lol. It's fantastic. I always kinda felt it looked like the Fist of the North Star movie.
Brandon is a little hard on Wolf sometimes with Ringwalds character Nicky. He was a perfect appropriate mentor to her and even sacrificed easy money in the intersest of Nicky's well being and safety. As bizarre as the environment was, throwing in a fifteen year old New Wave grunge girl as Wolf's impromptu sidekick was weird as well on the screenwriters part. Wolf handled the situation with class and style, never a hint of anything inappropriate with Nicky implied in the least. You gotta give him props for being a trustworthy...if not kinda cranky at being constantly thrust into the role of antihero rescuer.....adult.
@11:48 I have friend who worked on this movie. Those bulbous, white, puffy gelatinous creatures were a mistake! Originally, the creatures that were requested for that scene were "Bat Men", but someone couldn't write very well and wrote "Fat Men" by mistake. The SPFX people got the request, came up with a design, and made a whole batch of Fat Men costumes. By the time the mistake was discovered, it was too late to change it back! True story.
8:00 - when Wolf opens Chalmers' pod, the book on her chest is R.U.R., short for Rossum's Universal Robots, a play that's the origin of the word "robot". That's a surprisingly cerebral in-joke for such a quintessential B-movie.
I loved that movie as a kid , recently watched it again in my mid forties with my wife and we now have a running gag of the part when Wolf smells Molly and does the smelling thing lol, when I'm dirty and didn't shower or vive-versa. Underrated gem.
I'd read that Michael Ironside had been set up in the costume on a crane with the big claw things, they did some filming, called lunch, and everybody forgot that he was stuck in costume hanging in the air and hungry while everybody went off and ate. Some of the set designs are great - the one with the "water Amazons" is cool, looking like an organic metal swamp. I've always wondered what the "mutant baby" costumes were from, were they something a costume rental house had lying around or were they created for this movie. I could swear I've seen something similar in other movies.
Check out Nothing But Trouble sometime. The Judge's grandkids are likely what you're thinking of. though, in that move, they actually put padding in the suits, so it's not looking like a wrinkly flesh bag.
Legit, really happy to see you get a sponsor Brandon, with all of the quality content you've uploaded over the years, I can absolutely say you've earned it.
It's one of the mysteries of the universe that Molly Ringwald was ever hired again after this movie. That voice could kill an elephant at 50 yards. I love the way Overdog/Ironside makes a show of thinking for a second before answering "I lied."
A series of increasingly difficult encounters ending with a boss fight, while great for an RPG, is pretty difficult to shoehorn into a three-act dramatic structure. I wonder if they were shooting for a video game tie-in like Conan the Destroyer. (That also never made it to release)
I remember getting this off my parents on VHS back in the 80's but the only thing I could remember was Molly Ringwalds bath scene, and the squishy dudes attacking, and Ernie Hudson of course.
Glad you got a sponsor, but I really enjoy how you say "ray-con" with all the affect of Bruce Willis in...anything from the last decade. They don't let sponsorees improvise at all on their rote speech, do they? I can almost recite it by heart at this point.
Oh man, I totally forgot about this movie. I LOVED this when I was a kid. I saw it in the theater, and for a 8 year old this was fun times. Not a masterpiece as you said Brandon, but certainly a fun (I think) well made sci-fi underrated gem.
This is awesome!! I definitely feel like this movie coming out a week before Return of the Jedi (and certainly being buried by RotJ) helped kill it; it is definitely a bit derivative but there's some really fun ideas here.
The "Astar the Robot" segment was a nice Canadian touch. The special effects in that commercial were ahead of their time. Back then I was quite impressed.
About the hotdog comment, "it's made from pigeons and squirrels, now do you want some or not?"..... I'm freaking dying here!!!! I almost pissed myself!
Brandon: I'll do Beastmaster eventually. *Weasels cry softly in the rain* *Panther eyes you suspiciously* *Eagle eyes surviving weasel as his next meal*
11:55 The companion mentioned in the dialogue that the "chemist" kidnaps people / children and experiments on them. That's why she doesn't want to enter the zone and is afraid of this particular chemist.
Overdog starts coming a cross as creepy/sleazy, but not as much as Ironside's villain in Heavy Metal 2000. Also, what's the exchange rate on Mega-Credits to Bison Dollars?
I saw this in the theater in 3D when I was thirteen with my friends and we must have said, "Undress her...SLOWLY!" for weeks. I remember arguing over who kicked more ass, Darth Vader or Overdog...
"A reward of 3000 mega credits!? SHIT that's like a million fuck-ton bucks!!" is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Thank you Brandon, you never disappoint.
Holy Shit. I loved this movie as a kid. I would remember the overlords face and voice sometimes (like twenty years later) but I had no clue where it was from. I would've completely forgotten about this. You're just really fucking cool sometimes dude. Thanks!
Man, i was looking for this movie in ages, but that was a long long time ago. I kinda ran into it on TV, but i only got to see the end of it, or something like the last third. As i never saw the title, i couldn't find it on rental, or later on on the net. But now i do! This has such a charming style and now i know where it got it from!
Wow, i just realized that i have seen this movie as a child, i had no idea what it was called or that it was even something that i really saw, and was not just some fever dream mishmash of multiple other films mixed together from the fading memories of my childhood.
To have people like Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman to help out this movie is starting out pretty impressive. Waiting for Bill Pullman and John Candy to come out of space.
Overdog!? No, that's Kryten from Red Dwarf! Suddenly, in my mind I just wait for him to put on an apron and start ironing some newly washed under pants!
Maybe the writers had originally planned to do this as a TV series, hence all the different odd places in the mid-section of the film. Once they were informed it would NEVER make a series, the new idea was: "Hey, let's cram it all into one movie. Maybe somebody will buy that script."
This flick is one of my guilty pleasures. Fun fact, the first clue about Chalmers being a robot is the book she's reading when we first see her. Can't remember the title but it's an old eastern European book about robots, if I remember correctly.

I kinda love Overdog's expression right before he says "I lied." You can almost hear him think "Wow. She really is *that* dumb."
It's like he was trying to come up with something witty and gave up because why bother.
@@jeffumbach He should've said "You misheard. I was going to let you go if you died."
I think Ironside heard Arnie say that line when he was playing villains to him, and always wanted to say it.
@@jeffumbach From what I understand that is sort of what happened, according to the script Overdog was just supposed to laugh manicaly, but Ironsides ablibed the, 'I lied,' bit.

Oh nebulous they're such the bane of ships. Although in Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan we had a very good space battle in a nebula.
...that then got blown up to form an unstable planet. :P
Also, nebulas get overused in sci-fi movies. Quasars are almost NEVER used? XD
