I actually kind of prefer what JW did with the character. Best anti-hero in years. They should have left in all the stuff about using Rock n Roll to scare out the Vampires. That's great! If I had known 1/3 of the book was just gonna be Anne Rice, I'd have skipped that part. -Side note: As a Texan, I appreciated the small reference to "The Church of the Sub-genius." Always good for an insane laugh, especially if you can get THAT book.
30:42 Actually, that sounds like what an ex-military would try, especially if they were trained on old school communication lines. Up until the late nineties, the military used special cables that would literally work if two severed ends would just be tied in a knot. You didn't need to make metal on metal contact, as the signal would pass through the coating. We used to do that a lot in training. Of course, you'd need to have some level of intelligence to realize that civilian lines are completely different.
I also might be repeating myself but I think them cutting off the heads of their own vampire hunting crew is just an extra security measure because if they were turned even in the slightest they would have intimate knowledge of every thing
By the way if you want some of the original lore, like OG vampire story you can find a translation of Milovan Glisic's story - eng. after Ninety years. Serbian vampire, there is even a movie Leptirica which is here considered to be a horror classic.
MOVIE DUMPSTER Reviews & Videos, along with hakthamoovys... are like a warm blanket, they always put me in a better mood and I'm down to watch them as soon as I see that bell. Also congrats on the growth, I could be completely wrong but the sub count appears to be growing at a faster pace
The title of the book Vampire$ should have had a sequel called Vampire$: Blood Bank. And Jack Crow should have had a brother that he never knew about and he would have look like Bruce Campbell in appearance and attitude from Evil Dead. I will say about one thing from the film John Carpenter's vampires is that it is fun and entertaining at the same time with James Woods as he gives his own unique Flair on being a vampire hunter. And just a little quick fun fact about the thing in the novelization called "who goes there?" there are in fact three survivors (McReady, Bennings, Barclay) and not just one. And the one that de-thaws the thing is Blair that releases it.
I liked the book, certainly more than the movie. You forgot to mention the overcast “stormy day” when they get ambushed. That scene was legitimately scary..
Another great Movie vs. Book guys! Love it! Not that you're already busy enough but I have a recommendation for a Movie vs. Book! Slimer aka Proteus. I wore that vhs out in the 90s and would love to see you guys get your hands on the novel of it woooo
We are already talking about it! We need to tackle Proteus first, which we’ve been planning on doing for a while. Thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed it! 🙏💚📼
Being a soldier unfortunately means most military movies/books are ruined for you especially if the author never served. I’m glad you enjoyed armor, I may give it another go around
I rewatched this movie for the 1st time in OMGawd 20+ years. I forgot about the Mahogony talk...makes me wonder was James given those lines because his last name is Woods? Great episode gentlemen!
The movies aren't as trendy. They sacrifice a solid subscriber count so we can hear a pod about actual awesome movies. Unlike the soulless motherfuckers only subbed to Tony, living their life by 30 year old ad campaigns.
The movie is 1000% a western. The reason anybody does anything is to fit the kind of western John Carpenter wanted. He was inspired by westerns very much and this is the only time he got to make one.
I've waited for so long for you guys to do more of these books to the movies, especially Vampire$. I might want to give the book a read. I would hope maybe one day they will remake this movie. Because I just love the beginning of the film. Plus, 1998 had two big vampire slayer flicks, of course, John Carpenter's Vampire's and Blade.
Back in the day, I always added "From Dusk Till dawn" to this 'trilogy.' I accepted and believed that Seth Gecko, Jack Crow, and Whistler were all the same person at different times in their vampire hunting career.
I loved when you did the Valentine one! Have you ever considered doing I know what you did Last Summer??!! Btw I may have bought the Valentine novel after your episode lol
I like both the first and second movie. some of the best vampire hunter movies. a t.v series would be nice but you can watch one like this called firebite. maybe a vampires 3 when the black cross has day walker blood hidden inside the cross itself from the first vampire hunter priest. the real first vampire patient 0 who was infected but others who got infected and turned could not walk in daylight and burn. scientist working with the hunters and church who are attempting a cure only have the pills that hold back the turn for so long but findout the secrets of the black cross and need to find it to hepp with a cure before the vampires find it and use the blood to walk in daylight.
this rock, but the 1h30min add on god and the bible that poped in the middle was almost if it was on purpose hahaha thanks for what you do! from a fan in canada
The fatal problem with this movie is that it takes its hokey premise and silly elements way too seriously. Carpenter should have treated it like Big Trouble in Little China. There is a painful dearth of irony and wit. It feels like a SyFy Channel movie of the week with a big budget.
Just wanted to let you know, Jack wasn't trying to stop Mexican Marijuana Smugglers. He was trying to stop a Cuban Heroine Cartel moving through Mexico. He met Felix, who WAS a Marijuana Smuggler... planning to get out of the game because the Cubans were killing all the small time "amateur" smugglers that wouldn't move their product.
I would love to see you guys do arachnophobia and for some reason I always think of the movie fallen with Denzel Washington which I also think is very entertaining. even though I'm not a religious person, I must have saw them close together as a kid or something because in my head they're linked. I mean John Goodman is a character in both. maybe that's why. and I watched Roseanne as a kid because my mom loved the show so who knows
I love the end of the movie. Even though it set it up for a sequel that never happened. The dollar sign would make sense if you did a modern blackrock kind of vampire organization where they sucked the resources and the blood out of everything
I have love this book and the other by the same author and have read them each dozens of times. The movie version of Vampires was disgusting and an attack on the source material.
There is an anime called Jojo's bazaar adventure, and I s*** you not. It actually has a vampire named Dio!! Who is actually named after Ronnie James Dio. So, coincidentally enough, that's a thing that actually exists.
The title VAMPIRE$ pretty much explains why there's a dollar sign. It's not that oblique guys. And you keep trying to show you're smarter than everybody as you keep getting checked. The one who read the book knows what he's saying. Definitely a bro-dude book. The book is a comic book and so much more fun than the movie.
This was the 1 carpenter movie that I had never seen at first. Having seen it in full last year and yup....it was awful. Definitely bottom barrel of carpenters movies.
Its a great movie you guys are not qualified movie critics you just random silly guys on youtube talking $hit and being disrespectful to a great movie director
In another Timeline they made a Snake Plissken/Jack Crow Team Up called escape from Transylvania.
This needs to exist.
I'd buy that for a dollar!!! Definitely would watch that!!!!!
There are only a handful of Underrated JOHN CARPENTER Films,,,,This one is the Best of them in my Opinion 😃🤘☠️
Agreed!
I actually kind of prefer what JW did with the character. Best anti-hero in years.

Vampire$ truly does sound like a horrible straight to video where Bruce Campbell appears and dies within the first 10 minutes of the movie
Like Congo except the C is a giant ©.
🤣
Lol
Don’t forget Annabelle from Eek the Cat
The Pope hitting Jack with the Hakai is epic 😂
Mahogany. Solid.
Ernest and goofy should be it's own genre. The book sounds great like in a 2000AD comic kinda way. Gotta check it out 👍
I am rocking full Redwood!!!
Steven Segal was "John Crow" in Marked for Death...
They’re brothers-confirmed.

I loved this movie when I first saw it, not as much 20 years later but its still worth a watch
5 vhs tapes and 3 DVDs I still get wood
By the way if you want some of the original lore, like OG vampire story you can find a translation of Milovan Glisic's story - eng. after Ninety years. Serbian vampire, there is even a movie Leptirica which is here considered to be a horror classic.
Definitely want to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
yah I love it, one of my fave Carpenters. James woods is the king in Vampires. Love his lines

THIS WAS GREAT! ALWAYS A FUN TIME WHEN CB IS ON THE SHOW!
Thank you for the kind words Jonny!
Thanks for the support, dude! 🙏💚📼
One of the few John Carpenter movies I haven't seen yet.
Definitely check it out!
Yes Treat yourself Bill!!
The arsenal reminded me of the Nocturne video game.
Another great Movie vs. Book guys! Love it!

I freaking hated the movie after I read the book. It's missing so much. Steakley is pretty awesome and you should give Armor another shot.
Being a soldier unfortunately means most military movies/books are ruined for you especially if the author never served.
I’m glad you enjoyed armor, I may give it another go around
Armor is great
I rewatched this movie for the 1st time in OMGawd 20+ years. I forgot about the Mahogony talk...makes me wonder was James given those lines because his last name is Woods? Great episode gentlemen!
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
Ah hell yeah! Been a long time coming, I can't wait!
John Steakley also has a great Sci-Fi War novel called "Armor".
And it also features a main character named Jack Crow.
This was one of my favorite vampire movies as a child i never even knew it was based on a book 😂
Neither did we until C.B. told us a few years back! 🤣
vampires 2 movie has a hunter that uses a shot gun with wooden bullets.
You guys deserve at least half as many subs as Tony.
The movies aren't as trendy. They sacrifice a solid subscriber count so we can hear a pod about actual awesome movies. Unlike the soulless motherfuckers only subbed to Tony, living their life by 30 year old ad campaigns.
Every episode with CB is good. Frankenstein Unbound
The movie is 1000% a western. The reason anybody does anything is to fit the kind of western John Carpenter wanted. He was inspired by westerns very much and this is the only time he got to make one.
James Woods and these guys VS. Bill Pullman the Near Dark Outlaws
I've waited for so long for you guys to do more of these books to the movies, especially Vampire$. I might want to give the book a read. I would hope maybe one day they will remake this movie.

@guyvizard549 now that be a be awesome.
Yesssss!!!! This going to be some goooood shit! 🥳
I loved when you did the Valentine one! Have you ever considered doing I know what you did Last Summer??!! Btw I may have bought the Valentine novel after your episode lol
We’ve talked about it! Might be fun to do next year. Glad you enjoyed the show! 🙏💚📼
@@MovieDumpster hopefully you will it's pretty different from the movie.
Definitely something we d be interested in doing. Hope you enjoy the Valentine novel.
@@CBSmith-js9yl oh it was interesting lol, not terrible though I could see it working as a movie
I got some mahogany when i saw this comeup
Major chubby
Sheryl Lee as a vampire... that's all. What more could you want?
Aw$ome video, guy$! I certainly got $ome pine my$elf. It's alway$ cool when C.B. $mith come$ around for the$e epi$ode$.
He$$ yeah$!
Gonna miss the premier. But you know I'm gonna have to catch it after I get a chance. Have a great week dumpster dwellers.
I thought I was the only one who ever read that book.
This movie was awesome when I was a kid.
Rockin' some ironwood over here 😂
This is gold 👌 thanks guys
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
C.B. Smith reminds me of Tommy Lee Wallace. Looks and sounds like him a bit.
the best van helsing is PETER CUSHING...
Also a great one!
I like both the first and second movie. some of the best vampire hunter movies. a t.v series would be nice but you can watch one like this called firebite.
maybe a vampires 3 when the black cross has day walker blood hidden inside the cross itself from the first vampire hunter priest. the real first vampire patient 0 who was infected but others who got infected and turned could not walk in daylight and burn.

thanks for what you do!

Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
Guns, guns…………GUNS!!!
It just....beeps.
Was the opening bit just a dick joke? If so that was hilarious 😂
Reference to Woods’ line from the movie, which is what he asks the priest 😂
100% 😆
The fatal problem with this movie is that it takes its hokey premise and silly elements way too seriously. Carpenter should have treated it like Big Trouble in Little China. There is a painful dearth of irony and wit. It feels like a SyFy Channel movie of the week with a big budget.
Holy shit, y'all got stipe miocic on the podcast?!
Shit I almost missed this! Lol

Exactly. I know he said he read it four times but yeah, man they were selling brown heroin not weed lol I'm happy you mentioned it.
Loved the movie. Great show

Did you get a little wood from this review I seriously don't understand why people hate this movie
I was super interested in the subject matter but the two side hosts are awwwful.
Thanks for watching!
@MovieDumpster congratulations, you've been demoted to side hosts. CB is the star of this show😂
They keep trying to prove they know more than the author but it comes off as typical geeks thinking they're smarter than they are. Great topic tho!
First time watching this series.
Is that Sean O'Rourke's actual voice? Or is he doing a bit?
Just my voice. ✌️
@@MovieDumpster I was just wondering because it shifts several times. So I thought you were putting on various voices for effect.
Ah got ya, yeah my voice range is all over the place so I get what you mean haha.
Is the audiobook available anywhere?
Audible.
Cherry Cat
😉👍
I love the end of the movie. Even though it set it up for a sequel that never happened. The dollar sign would make sense if you did a modern blackrock kind of vampire organization where they sucked the resources and the blood out of everything
Now that’s a movie I would pay to see! -Sean
I have love this book and the other by the same author and have read them each dozens of times. The movie version of Vampires was disgusting and an attack on the source material.
rock and roll
There is an anime called Jojo's bazaar adventure, and I s*** you not. It actually has a vampire named Dio!! Who is actually named after Ronnie James Dio. So, coincidentally enough, that's a thing that actually exists.
Dio’s nuts, don’t let him near your dog! 😆 -Sean
Never read the book
Frankenstein$ Unbound
Guns? 😂
Like all this time it didn't dawn on them to use guns. Rock n roll.
The title VAMPIRE$ pretty much explains why there's a dollar sign. It's not that oblique guys. And you keep trying to show you're smarter than everybody as you keep getting checked.

It’s a joke.
This was the 1 carpenter movie that I had never seen at first. Having seen it in full last year and yup....it was awful. Definitely bottom barrel of carpenters movies.
As far as Carpenter movies go, it’s def not the best. There are some great scenes, but the production problems really hurt it overall.
Facts on that. Could have been great but....yeah noooo
Probably his weakest 90’s movie. A fun watch, but in a bad way. Woods really saves it
Its a great movie you guys are not qualified movie critics you just random silly guys on youtube talking $hit and being disrespectful to a great movie director
That one dude who watches a single episode and has no context for the show, the in-jokes, or blatant sarcasm.
And now you are talking about "Armor".
To trash it? 👎👎👎👎👎👎
That was the worst thing I've ever heard
Crap video
Thanks for watching!
Great movie
