James Cameron should change Titanic and create a special edition of the film with Critters on board. He could get some informations by George Lucas how to do this. It's gonna be great!
The coolest thing about the Critters is that they roll around as fuzzy balls. Such a genius way to get around the monumental task of making the puppets move around.
My favorite is in Critters 2, when the one Krite gets its scalp shot off, looks at its reflection in the toaster and says, "bitchin'!" Never fails to make me laugh, and I wish I owned that puppet.
Someone needs to use a flamethrower on the giant critter balls to create a dramatic burning visualization. Possible even wire an explosive to one critter as it goes to join the others.
@@HkFinn83 cuz if your there to see a band wearing their shirt is redundant. You dont need to further say you like the band, you already paid to see them
Isn't Scott Grimes that 1 time Simspons character who worked with Homer but ends up hating him because Homer's life is so great despite how incompetent he is? I think he ended up electrocuting himself at the end... "I can grab these without harm because IM HOMER SIMPSON and nothing bad ever happens to me" ..... or something like that. That dudes name was Scott Grimes.. right?
Kaylee Gregory just “alligator” i think, it kills some kid when its in their pool, and then the town gets together to hunt it in the sewers or something?
Grandma being forced to plant the bomb in the Critters' lair at the end of Critters Bite Back sounds suspiciously like a set-up for Grandma In The Walls.
Mike should have compared the Critters to the Tribble. Everyone thought the Tribbles were cute little creatures but it's revealed in DS9 that they were deemed mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire because they were an ecological plague that eats all the food wherever they go and that the Klingons sent a fleet of ships to hunt them down and destroy their homeworld.
Star Trek and the spin-offs are actually really good, deep shows with real world themes. I wish I watched it more when I was younger. The episode of Next Generation with the black goo monster was life changing. I didn't know anything about Star Trek, but that goo monster guy scared the goo monster out of me.
I watched Critters when I was super young and always had flashbacks of certain scenes since then but never knew what movie it was, to the point where I thought I dreamt up this movie. Thanks for finally solving a lifelong mystery for me!
The difference: that take on Freddy Got Fingered as a surrealist parody of Hollywood movies had been popular for a few years, but nobody thinks Critters has picked up a second critical wind.
My Aunt worked in a video store in the 80s. She snuck us free films. She was meant to get Oliver and Company (the Disney movie), instead in the box was this film. Scared the hell out of me when I was about 8. My little sister (5) loved it.
To me, Critters was just a memorable Poster/VHS cover. I remember seeing that image a lot as a kid... most notably in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in 1990. It's the movie Raph goes to see, and he says, "Where do they come up with this stuff." Which is, of course a joke about the absurdity of TMNT itself. But ya. Glad to finally know what Critters was about.
If you kidnapped Hayao Miyazaki and put a gun to his head and threatened to kill him unless he made Critters, he would make Lilo and Stitch. Also, he would probably cry a lot.
I remember renting Aliens, and my father turned the box around to show Ellen in the power loader face to face with the alien queen....and asked, "are you sure you want to see this?"....I had nightmares about chestbursters for years, but that is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Thank you Blockbuster.
He had a song that broke into Billboard's Adult Contemporary Top 20 chart. I just know because Steve's band performs the song in an episode of American Dad and I thought it was like a joke song they wrote.
Scott grimes was fantastic as Malarkey on Band of Brothers. And critters was also a film I watched a zillion times as a kid. Love it. Was happy to see grimes show up in BoB.
We watched this at a sleepover in 1988 and when the guy got rolled over by the Critters ball 21:31, one kid came ill and called his mom to come to pick him up. We were ten years old.
tyler keen and is extremely hideous, significantly weaker, and doesn't have an indestructible body. i do get your point though, the creation of stitch probably was influenced by this.
Fuck google Of course it's not bad, I'd fucking LOVE!!! It, Critters 1 and 2 are awesome fun films, 3 is alright and 4 is.... Not fun, but 1 and 2 are great.
I'm only aware of this movie because it featured a semi-known Broadway actor as the bounty hunter/rock star. Terrence Mann. Played Javert in Les Miserables and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast in the Broadway runs of those two shows.
I screamed, a primal bellow of a man watching his son fall in front of a moving car, a helpless roar loud enough to reach the deaf God he has come to hate, and hate so great that the earth beneath him scorches, the hate spreads out and floods the water, turns it red, into a vile acid, a bilious ichor of rage and evil, that swells beneath the ground and bursts it open like a grand sore upon creation out of his fury, his anger, his impossible hate when I saw Jay. I mean, I clapped.
I only saw pieces of the first one when I was younger. Really young. I got so many nightmares and didn't like spots where small critters could be hiding.
I got to see Critters at a Drive Inn the end of April as part of a two night horror event... and it held up well... also Scott Grimes was really good in Band of Brothers.
Holy shit, I never thought Mike would talk about the band Chiodos, they got me through some hard times man... Damn dude, I wish they'd talk a little more about what music they like. This was such a nice little episode, I can really feel how much they like these movies, I recall them mentioning Critters so much in the past. I definitely need to re-watch both of them soon.
@@somercet1 right, not to mention all the DC movies where they're just putting "the" on the front of movies like Batman and Suicide Squad. Will the Critters now be targetting kids on the autism spectrum because something in their blood cures Critter cancer or helps make mutant hybrid Critters or whatever the plot of that _The Predator_ movie was?
I just ordered the Critters DVD boxset haha. So thanks for this re:View - I love it! If it isnt on your radar then please consider a re:View for another underrated 80's sci-fi classic - "My Science Project". Its got a gizmo, a goat, endless quotable lines, a great soundtrack, Fisher Stevens and the ending is a surprise origin for Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider character.... haha.
Scott Grimes was in Band of Brothers as Malarky, he's Steve on American Dad (Family Guy 2: Federal Boogaloo), he's was in an episode of Dexter, he was Will Scarlet in Russell Crowe's dumb Robin Hood movie, he had a 6 episode arc on Justified. He's had pretty steady work for a long time now.
I had the same reaction.. Dude has been working pretty steady for about 2 decades now.. he had a bit of a transition but one of the few actors who transitioned into adult jobs.. he's been great on The Orville..
I saw them open for Linkin Park a few years ago, didn’t know who they were, so my 16 year old self didn’t give a shit. They sound pretty interesting now and I wish I’d given them a chance.
Two of the members from Chiodos formed a side project called Cinematic Sunrise and they released a single album that is the greatest thing ever and everyone needs to go listen to it right now.
After rewatching this review i remembered how you brought the Don Opper and Barry Opper relationship up. It is quite interesting. Don pretty much started Barry's career as Barry started Don's career. Back in 82 Don wrote and starred in the movie Android. A movie George Lucas praised back in the day. When his opinion still meant something. Don got his brother Barry to produce the movie. It was his first producer credit. Barry became quite a successful producer. And when they did Critters he brought his brother back. I kinda like the dynamic.
Scott Grimes played one of the main roles on the TV series: ER for several years. At first his character was kind of a joke, but he grew on me, and became pretty emotionally deep by the end, i feel. Always thought he deserved more work than he got.
Please I must have your version of Critters before I die. Start some crowdfunding. I have bonds that I was saving until retirement but I believe this would be a better cause than my happiness in my golden years.
so the boring ass trailer, the fact its an uninspired prequel, the fact that SW died 30 years ago, the track record of the last 15 SW projects... all that doesn't convince you that critters 5 is a better project than solo?
Swiss_brodi it's actually a ""bootleg"" I bought from a horrible convention. It looks amazing though to the point where it doesn't even look like a bootleg
Are you guys gonna review Critters Attack (2019)? I would love to see you guys tackle it since you're obviously fans like myself. Also, there's apparently a TV series on Shudder titled Critters: A New Binge which came out in early 2019 as well. Great video as well, thank you.
Yes i saw Critters 2 in theaters when i was 6 in St Louis a month before monving to Omaha as i liked the first movie and i remembered when Lee became the playmate i ad a crush on her.
re:View - like you're reviewing the movie and it's like the "re:" prefix meaning "regarding" like "regarding our viewing" dude, I just got it and I've been subbed for years.
This film planted the seed of my love affair with horror films when at the age of 6 a family friend loaned it to my mother for us to watch and told her it was a kids movie full of cute little creatures. Ma walked in just as the cop gets dragged under the car and freaked out. If only she'd been a few minutes earlier, she could have saved my soul
I love the way Mike just throws out "He's the town blacksmith" as if he's accustomed to all towns having an assigned blacksmith in the year of our lord 2018 instead of back when he was a kid getting the Conestoga wagons ready to for another year's work on the homestead
I think rlm shot concert footages for some post hardcore bands I'm the mid 2000s. There's even a greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag scene.
*Raising hand* Question; Can "Gamera the Brave" be considered an Easter movie? It's about a Savior who dies and comes back via resurrection to save the day, and theres an egg in it.
Mike with his knowledge of metal core and hardcore bands from the 2000s is always fascinating for me for some reason. I keep waiting for him to bring up Tim Lambasis at some point for a zinger.
I think they shot some concert videos and music videos for some post-hardcore bands back in the mid-2000's. Like blessthefall and Scary kids scaring kids. There's also a Greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag set.
Oh my gaaaaawd! Yeah I remember these lol, I watched a whole lot of shlocky and weird movies as a kid too young to appreciate the shlock, this came up along with Gremlins, Tremors and Screamers, though I can barely remember much of them now, and the sequels are all squashed together. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
Critters is great, I love the idea of intergalactic bounty hunters perusing little homicidal aliens who escaped from space jail. The critters growing every time they eat can easily turn this wacky dark comedy into a horror movie movie. I would love to see Critters reboot hit the big screen, there is so much potential for an awesome series. The reboot should first take place on earth, and in the sequel it'd be interesting to see critters run wild in a sleazy intergalactic space habitat, after they escape during transport to a maximum security space jail. This time the threat is more serious because its a confined environment and the more the critters eat the larger they become until eventually combining together to form mega-critter, who is eventually subdued and exiled on a barren planet, only for the Xiliens to rescue mega-critter for a later cross over with Godzilla in an epic battle for earth.
Jay came up with the "Critters Bite Back" title WAY too fast to seem spontaneous. He 150% has a fully complete script in a safe at home.
Next to his reboot of Ghoulies.
And 6 copies of every rerelease of Evil Dead ever made.

Critters Bite Back also needs an Uber-Critter that’s voiced by Jeremy Irons and explains the Critters backstory in a long-winded monologue.
I was not on board with Critters 5, until I read that
😂😂😂
I'm in.
But the monologue has to be in a language that neither the other characters nor the audience speak or have any hope of understanding.
Someone needs to use a flamethrower on the giant critter balls to create a dramatic burning visualization. Possible even wire an explosive to one critter as it goes to join the others.

Jay is right. I totally had no idea that Terms of Enderment sequel existed.
It's not bad; it's surprisingly good.

That's not how you spell "embarrassed"
Are you guys gonna review Critters Attack (2019)? I would love to see you guys tackle it since you're obviously fans like myself. Also, there's apparently a TV series on Shudder titled Critters: A New Binge which came out in early 2019 as well. Great video as well, thank you.
Scaredy Cats did a good review on youtube
I watched this movie at a young age. I didnt forget. It scared the hell out of me
This was just made so Michael can talk about Neelix.
Critters 2 is close to my heart because of roxanne kernohan. Saw that movie first in my early teens so her appearance was quite impressive
Yes i saw Critters 2 in theaters when i was 6 in St Louis a month before monving to Omaha as i liked the first movie and i remembered when Lee became the playmate i ad a crush on her.
"Billy Zane are you...
"YES"
in"
re:View - like you're reviewing the movie and it's like the "re:" prefix meaning "regarding" like "regarding our viewing"
dude, I just got it and I've been subbed for years.
The TH-cam algorithm took me from Space Ice to Red Letter Media. Too much joy, good God!
I love it.
10:48 I love how Grimes gets top billing over Leo
This film planted the seed of my love affair with horror films when at the age of 6 a family friend loaned it to my mother for us to watch and told her it was a kids movie full of cute little creatures. Ma walked in just as the cop gets dragged under the car and freaked out. If only she'd been a few minutes earlier, she could have saved my soul
So, the Critters Attack movie exists now. It has Dee Wallace. Is this what you wanted?

I love the way Mike just throws out "He's the town blacksmith" as if he's accustomed to all towns having an assigned blacksmith in the year of our lord 2018 instead of back when he was a kid getting the Conestoga wagons ready to for another year's work on the homestead
Wow. Would not have expected Mike to be so knowledgeable about the early 2000s Hardcore music scene.
Hardcore?
For real! I was so surprised when he mentioned them, they weren’t even that huge of a band.
I'd take Mike for a fugazi fan
terminaldeity speaking of Fugazi, I just saw Messthetics perform and they were incredible.
I think rlm shot concert footages for some post hardcore bands I'm the mid 2000s. There's even a greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag scene.
I consider Critters 2 the greatest Easter movie ever.
Mallrats is 2nd.
*Raising hand*
Question;
Can "Gamera the Brave" be considered an Easter movie?
It's about a Savior who dies and comes back via resurrection to save the day, and theres an egg in it.
Mike with his knowledge of metal core and hardcore bands from the 2000s is always fascinating for me for some reason. I keep waiting for him to bring up Tim Lambasis at some point for a zinger.
I think they shot some concert videos and music videos for some post-hardcore bands back in the mid-2000's. Like blessthefall and Scary kids scaring kids. There's also a Greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag set.
9:31 - That clip of Leonardo DiCaprio being pulled away from someone younger and being called a pervert just gets better with age.
I love Critters. It is a weird movie. I love the space bounty hunters. The intro of the critters breaking out of prison is super fun too.
Also Jay, Power of the Night is a classic.
I saw one of the original Critter creatures at a museum in Seattle a few years ago. My wife had no idea what it was.
I had that pleather ET doll. That exact one. That's why I remember this movie.
Oh my gaaaaawd! Yeah I remember these lol, I watched a whole lot of shlocky and weird movies as a kid too young to appreciate the shlock, this came up along with Gremlins, Tremors and Screamers, though I can barely remember much of them now, and the sequels are all squashed together. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
Critters is great, I love the idea of intergalactic bounty hunters perusing little homicidal aliens who escaped from space jail. The critters growing every time they eat can easily turn this wacky dark comedy into a horror movie movie. I would love to see Critters reboot hit the big screen, there is so much potential for an awesome series. The reboot should first take place on earth, and in the sequel it'd be interesting to see critters run wild in a sleazy intergalactic space habitat, after they escape during transport to a maximum security space jail. This time the threat is more serious because its a confined environment and the more the critters eat the larger they become until eventually combining together to form mega-critter, who is eventually subdued and exiled on a barren planet, only for the Xiliens to rescue mega-critter for a later cross over with Godzilla in an epic battle for earth.
