I agree and if the new movie is as bad as everyone says it is going to be, that means Brad Bird should be the guy to direct a Fantastic Four movie since he did the Incredibles.

This first filmed version of The Fantastic Four is still LIGHT YEARS more entertaining, true to the source material, and contains more heart and soul than any of the shitty recent attempts that had truck loads of cash thrown at them...
Here's the thing about that movie. It has more heart in it than the three Fantastic Four movies that got released and it feels a LOT more like the comic book than those released movies do. That's why I actually enjoy the Rodger Corman version with all of it's shlock, bad practical effects, and cheesiness over any of the three released Fantastic Four movies. I recall that the director for this film actually went out and purchased a whole backlog of Fantastic Four comics and sat down and read them, using them as reference material for the movie. The directors for the released films, I understand didn't care less about source material. This movie in my opinion is still the closest thing we have to a Fantastic Four movie that's like the comics originally were.
@@dangerdavemartin9597 Ben Grimm changed back several times in the early issues. For example, when Torch quit, Ben went looking for him. He changed and Torch got away and found the Submariner. It's in FF issue #4.
I agree. And the effects are really good for the price tag and time. Compare this to see me of the Superman movies and how truly bad the effects were. This movie was light years beyond the tv superhero schlock yet didn’t “feel” like a theater release. Ultimately, it was far better than it deserved to be. The Thing suit was great imo.
There were two moments in this that brightened my day: when he referred to the Jeweler's poetic talking as "a poetry reading from Etrigan the Demon" and when he reversed the line from Reservoir Dogs when talking about The Thing.
Alternative Timeline: Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four was released worldwide on December 24th, and to everyone's suprise made 500 times its budget back. Critics praised it for its faithfulness to the source material, and a sequel was immediately greenlit. The Fantastic Four 2: The Mole Man, was released on October 21st, 1997. Now with more money, they hired Warwick Davis as the Mole Man and Tim Blaney as H.E.R.B.I.E. the Robot. The film featured a Mid-Credits scene in which someone known as Uatu the Watcher (Max Von Sydow) shows up at the Baxter Building to warn the Fantastic Four of an "incoming galactic threat", then a Post-Credits scene where a silver figure (Rutger Hauer) flies through outer space on a silver flying surfboard talking to an offscreen presence that the Earth "has much potential", setting up the third movie. The second movie was as beloved, if not more beloved as the first film, grossing 800 million dollars worldwide. The third movie, The Fantastic Four 3: The Silver Surfer, was released on August 8th, 2001, to celebrate 40 years of the team, becoming the first movie to gross 1 billion dollars worldwide. Based upon "The Coming of Galactus" 2-part story-arc, it showed the team going up against Galactus, in a memorable performance by James Earl Jones, who threatens the existence of the planet by consuming its energy, which will kill the Earth soon after. The 'Silver Surfer' as Rutger Hauer's character is dubbed, a herald to Galactus, decides to help the Four after being inspired by Alicia Masters, and is ultimately the one who defeats him, forcing Galactus to retreat, but not before cursing his former herald by trapping him on Earth. Despite the film being more of a success than Constantin Films thought it would be, the cast and crew decided to take a break from making these films, to make room for more superhero movies. At San Diego Comic-Con in 2022, Roger Corman announced an animated TV spin-off series in the works at Marvel, now re-owning the rights, to be released on Disney+, continuing the adventures of the heroes, with all the stars (minus Rutger Hauer and Max Von Sydow) set to reprise their roles. A special teaser for the shows first episode was teased with the announcement, revealing the villain to be the Molecule Man, and is ready to air on January 1st, 2023.
Believe it or not, Marvel claimed that this film was a failed TV pilot for a few years before finally coming clean after a bootleg copy was released online in 2005.
My fav part is Doctor Doom finding out that his henchmen are dead or knocked out, and his captured hostages have escaped. *looks around room for a minute* *"Huh"*
Have to hand it to Roger Corman..... They actually gave some plausible reasoning for some things that just happened for the fuck of it. I mean, Reed getting grey hairs for _aging_, and Ben getting super strength because he was _already_ muscular. Holy shit, Roger Corman's still alive, right? Let him make the FF sequel for 2017 and I bet he'd George Miller the living shit out of it.... I'm not joking, he would probably make actually make a good FF movie if he had the standard comic book movie budget.
"Bruce Banner only needs to say Hulk Smash once and people are beaten to death with tanks" and subscribed. liked. followed on all social media platforms that is the best line a reviewer ever uttered
I love how you can go a full minute or two doing nothing but making fun of people's names in the opening credits. That must take a lot of cleverness. Also, nice Grizzly 2 homage at the end.
+bulliwyf The worst part might that this got canned while it was way closer to the source material than the 2015 movie... And it looks much better too.
You know what? This is the best looking doom we have had on screen. I mean why can't doom just be a dude in a robot suit? Is that so fricken hard? Also isn't the next F4 movie being made for the exact same reason this one was? Just being made so they don't lose the rights?
Cinema Snob has the super power to take movies other Channel Awesome people have already reviewed such as Exorcist 2 and Roger Corman's Fantastic Four and make funnier reviews of those films than those people ever did
He's much closer looking to the comics in this film than those $100+million pieces of crap Fox released. That's the irony. It's not the amount of money so much as how you spend it. And who you cast for director as well as cast. None of the FF films are great but arguably this one was a lot closer to the comics in tone and personal dynamics. I don't know what that last F4 film was about other than F4 in film speak means about the same thing as it does for the military! And I'm not talking about fighter jets, either...
The main problem with all of the FF movies is writing not directing. Tim Story's direction improved a lot with Silver Surfer but the script wasn't much better.
Thank you, Carnosaur was why I bought that vhs tape and I couldn't remember why. I told people back in the day there was a trailer for FF but couldn't remember what mockbuster I saw it on.
Kind of sad that this really is the best Fantastic Four movie. Sure the effects are what you'd expect for the time and budget....but it's still a good movie. A good version of Doctor Doom that doesn't suck, and the main cast actually feels like they should. Just plain bizarre. Several movies later and they haven't topped this. Shame.
Amazingly, even with the minute budget at hand, Corman managed to create something that sticks closer to the original FF origins than the other multi-billion dollar fiascos. Nice to see a little money and a master's touch outdoes the abundance of budget and no direction. This is now my fave FF movie!
The Professor from the beginning of the movie was played by the late, great George Gaynes, best known to the younger audiences as Commandant Lasard from the Police Academy movies. FYI.
This movie is actually really enjoyable in a campy sort of way. Certainly more than the other ones. Hell, even when the mom calls them the Fantastic Four, I thought that was actually kind of adorable and fitting with the tone of the movie. That being said, the Story films had the best Thing and their Doom was hilariously evil. The new one had nothing
I was starting to think Johnny would not transform into fire in the entire movie. That was a bigger plot twist to me than them actually saving the city with no collateral damage. xD
That professor who appears at about the 3:00 mark is played by George Gaynes, who is mostly remembered as playing the role of Henry Warnimont on Punky Brewster, and the role of Commandant Eric Lassard in the Police Academy movies.
You know, the story and script are actually quite good. They show the Fantastic Four getting their powers, the connection to Doom, the plan makes sense, the Four have to deal with the new situation while also trying to take care of each other and they do good.With a slight rewrite and a bigger budget, they should use this script for a movie today.
Why did they have to make up a secondary villain? Couldn't they have just given this "The Jeweler" guy Bebop's glasses and made him Mole Man as a nod to the original comics where he was the first villain of the Fantastic Four?
I really like this movie. It's easily available on TH-cam. I don't think that they ever said his last name before he turned in to Dr. Doom, so you can't say for certain that his name was Doom, plus, the Thing looks pretty good for a low budget 1994 movie. The jeweler is kind of silly, but if you cut him out, this would be a pretty good movie. I like all the jokes, the actors, and the lighter feel. It is definitely the best fantastic four movie!
Brad has mentioned before that he's not a big comic book fan, which is why I was so delighted by the number of jokes in this vid that only heavy comics readers would know.
Also... The worst one seems to be the best one..... Weird. This movie would of done probably okay in the box office. It would definitely made its money back and then some at least. I could see some critics enjoying it's campiness and others hating the crap out of it but it's would of been better reviewed then the new one for sure!
The Nostalgia Critic did say he could take the "Roger Corman" version more seriously than the "2005" version... The Cinema Snob has just helped this argument. The "Snob" is right, this movie does have a "Masters of the Universe" feel to it... The "Thing" costume looks like it could pass off as a Disneyworld animatronic, at best... Cool "Reservoir Dogs" reference, and the final scene of the episode was very clever... "Grizzly II".
I like this version, plus Brad's ringtone being the end credit theme to "Sleepaway Camp" is perfect. Also, the gay jokes were unexpected and funny, since Johnny is the most "flaming" character of the group.
Honestly, if this movie had much better effects and better actors, with few upgrades of script, I can imagine it perfectly being part of Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's certainly much better than those two snorfests, and while new one, has darker tone, it still didn't worked.
I actually really enjoyed this version, It's not good by any means. But its very entertaining and fun to watch. And i have to give credit to the actor who played Ben Grimm in this one, i thought he was great!
I've watched this movie and it's still more entertaining than last years Fantastic Bore. But I only have one thing to say when Johnny goes full fire mode at the end Lame on!
Imagine if this was a franchise. I want to see the low-budget version of Galactus. I wonder if they save their budget by making him a giant fart in the SHAPE of Galactus. Honestly, MCU Galactus I’d literally leave in the shadows, the only thing we CAN see is his eyes.
Everyone has already said it, but there really is something magical to the delayed way doom stares at his dead or knocked out henchmen, the hole in the wall they escaped from and uttering a single Austin powers esc “ah..”
Although this never got a proper release. I vividly remember seeing a preview for it on a VHS tape as a kid I never actually saw the full movie until a few years ago, but it was interesting as a curiosity if nothing else.
The CGi in this movie was actually pretty good toward the end. I normally hate CGi in movies, even ones I've worked in, but for the time it wasn't bad at all here. And most of the effects were done physically which is a lost art in itself. Even stunt work these days have more CGi doing the work than the actors doing them as doubles.
Yet another excellet comedian inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000. You should put your resume in with RiffTrax by the way. Excellent work. I laughted out loud several times. Thanks!
And each of them represent a particular Fantastic Four member that they screwed up. 1994: The Thing 2005: Invisible Woman 2007: Mr. Fantastic 2015: Human Torch
I ended up with a copy of this when the Jessica Alba Fantastic Four movie was coming out. Found it on the market place where they sold dodgy dvd's (or vcds at the time) it had the box art for the (at the time) new Fantastic Four movie and my young 12 year old brain didn't question the fact that it had yet to be released in theaters. Got it home and found this movie... I was disappointed but still, the movie had its charm and is easily the best fantastic four movie to be released so far... Which is pretty scary when you think about it.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement, it's pretty depressing that the Fantastic 4 can't catch a break in getting a good movie done.

Dr. Doom's reaction to seeing that the Fantastic Four has escape is absolutely priceless.
GasmaskAvenger Dr. Doom - Hm.
It's like "Welp, saw this coming."
LOVE IT! He doesn't get mad, he doesn't scream or yell, he doesn't even seem that upset, he mostly seems like "Oh, they escaped. Well.... That sucks."
And I respect this version for that. A reaction that says "I probably should have expected that. Oh well."
that one line has more charm than every FF movie made since...
POV shot from a blind woman! That made me laugh more than it should have.
Me too, had to repeat that part several times. So funny.
want to hear something hilarious
there was a POV shot from a blind woman in the movie Patch of Blue

Why can't I live in that timeline?
Y'know they could have just made a live action series with this crew, with the movie serving as the pilot.
I honestly think the Fantastic four are better suited to being adapted into a live-action TV show along the lines of Doctor Who.
What, and put actual effort and creativity into the project?

THAT'S not the Avi Arad way!

I don't think that they ever said his last name before he turned in to Dr. Doom, so you can't say for certain that his name was Doom, plus, the Thing looks pretty good for a low budget 1994 movie. The jeweler is kind of silly, but if you cut him out, this would be a pretty good movie. I like all the jokes, the actors, and the lighter feel. It is definitely the best fantastic four movie!
so many comic book references that it was beautiful.
Doctor Doom just saying "Hmph" after they escape him is so fucking relatable. 20:11
They all crashed their ship after a failed space trip.....Now they are all the Incredible Melting Man. We need Dr. Ted Nelson to fix this!
DarkVaati13 Teeeed Nelson. Ted Nelson.
Axel Kallesøe *gets shot* WOAH! Not Ted Nelson! No relation to Dr. Ted Nelson!
DarkVaati13 AADJKA!
Teeeeeeeeeed Nelson
Has the Snob ever reviewed that film?
I remember that it was pure 70's cheese and really bad.
Doctor Doom looks like he walked out of the comic book.
12:48 Sue Storm also has the amazing ability to make whatever clothes she's wearing turn invisible whenever she does.
Brad has mentioned before that he's not a big comic book fan, which is why I was so delighted by the number of jokes in this vid that only heavy comics readers would know.
10:53 The guy's so good at being an astronaut he figured out how to make cardinal directions apply to space travel.
"i'm still waiting for that clobbering time to happen." when snob said that i spit out what i was drinking, idk that's was just hilarious to me.
11:55-Huh. Actually still the most faithful depiction of Doctor Doom ever put to film.
Also... The worst one seems to be the best one..... Weird. This movie would of done probably okay in the box office. It would definitely made its money back and then some at least. I could see some critics enjoying it's campiness and others hating the crap out of it but it's would of been better reviewed then the new one for sure!
For those wondering: Yes, young Susan is played by Mercedes McNabb, the actress who played Harmony Kendall in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel.
The Nostalgia Critic did say he could take the "Roger Corman" version more seriously than the "2005" version... The Cinema Snob has just helped this argument.
The "Snob" is right, this movie does have a "Masters of the Universe" feel to it...
The "Thing" costume looks like it could pass off as a Disneyworld animatronic, at best... Cool "Reservoir Dogs" reference, and the final scene of the episode was very clever... "Grizzly II".
Well, you have about a twenty per cent accuracy rating on how to use quote marks...
Distracted Globe Productions And yet you typed per cent instead of percent.
Wiffgunder Wanted Only Amerifats write it as one word.
They aired this during Christmas here. :D
RIP Rodger Corman . Just found the movie on my feed and enjoyed more then those onlther ones
Thats actually not as bad as some of the other Fantastic 4 movies...
I like this version, plus Brad's ringtone being the end credit theme to "Sleepaway Camp" is perfect. Also, the gay jokes were unexpected and funny, since Johnny is the most "flaming" character of the group.
Damn, it IS weird that this movie actually reminds you of the comics... and the new ones don't =P
Honestly, if this movie had much better effects and better actors, with few upgrades of script, I can imagine it perfectly being part of Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's certainly much better than those two snorfests, and while new one, has darker tone, it still didn't worked.
wow, this was actually pretty good! Much better than the last film.
I actually really enjoyed this version, It's not good by any means. But its very entertaining and fun to watch. And i have to give credit to the actor who played Ben Grimm in this one, i thought he was great!
I've watched this movie and it's still more entertaining than last years Fantastic Bore.
But I only have one thing to say when Johnny goes full fire mode at the end
Lame on!
Imagine if this was a franchise. I want to see the low-budget version of Galactus. I wonder if they save their budget by making him a giant fart in the SHAPE of Galactus. Honestly, MCU Galactus I’d literally leave in the shadows, the only thing we CAN see is his eyes.
True that
This is way more charming
Everyone is so into their parts, I love it
Looks pretty good for only costing a million dollar.
The Jewler is a variation of the Mole Man . He's also seems similar to the Penguin From Batman Returns.
Everyone has already said it, but there really is something magical to the delayed way doom stares at his dead or knocked out henchmen, the hole in the wall they escaped from and uttering a single Austin powers esc “ah..”
Although this never got a proper release. I vividly remember seeing a preview for it on a VHS tape as a kid I never actually saw the full movie until a few years ago, but it was interesting as a curiosity if nothing else.
Haha Dwight is my hometown! What beef do you have with that town? Lol
The CGi in this movie was actually pretty good toward the end. I normally hate CGi in movies, even ones I've worked in, but for the time it wasn't bad at all here. And most of the effects were done physically which is a lost art in itself. Even stunt work these days have more CGi doing the work than the actors doing them as doubles.
Yet another excellet comedian inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000. You should put your resume in with RiffTrax by the way. Excellent work. I laughted out loud several times. Thanks!
this movie is WAAAAAY better than the crap that came out recently
Let's be honest, we would've probably liked this movie better than the latest fantastic four anyways.
Izzeh Greywolf I have of yet to meet someone who enjoyed fant4stic
so far there has been 4 failed fantastic four movies: I think it's safe to call this franchise the fail-tastic four.
And each of them represent a particular Fantastic Four member that they screwed up.
1994: The Thing
2005: Invisible Woman
2007: Mr. Fantastic
2015: Human Torch
Hmmm why those characters and those movies you picked for them?
Why Mr. Fantastic?
I rather think, the bigger fuck-up in the 2015 version was Dr. Doom.
Correction: All the Fantastic Four movies screwed up Dr. Doom!
I ended up with a copy of this when the Jessica Alba Fantastic Four movie was coming out. Found it on the market place where they sold dodgy dvd's (or vcds at the time) it had the box art for the (at the time) new Fantastic Four movie and my young 12 year old brain didn't question the fact that it had yet to be released in theaters.
Got it home and found this movie... I was disappointed but still, the movie had its charm and is easily the best fantastic four movie to be released so far... Which is pretty scary when you think about it.
It seems like a 90's power rangers film but with more plot
Excellent Etrigan the demon reference
This should go on Disney+
Will anyone ever accept the name "Von Doom" ?
It IS an actual name, but I prefer the name Van Damme.
