We watched this because of images floating around social media of a bad ass looking Mark Hamill. Little did we know Bill Paxton was the actual star of the movie. And that's the last of the joy you'll get out of this turkey. It goes from being a decent B-movie to an almost unwatchable borefest by the end.

I can't believe you totally glossed over Sir Ben Kingsley in this movie.
Honestly, we didn't even see him. Our copy was really, really shitty.
@@JasonBrant he was the old man in the cave that the Jesus robot used his hair to heal.
@@travisluchtenburg3714 I thought that was him!
The guy who turned down a role in "Cleaver"?
Ben Kinglsey glossed over the fact he was in this movie...
The star of this movie is really the Brookland Aerospace Optica 0A7. A neat idea for a very slow speed, high endurance aircraft that gave an unprecedented field of view for surveillance. They were marketed to police, fire departments, surveyors, etc. The people behind the Optica just couldn't get enough orders to stay in business. They had several starts and stops over the years and I'm pretty sure their most recent attempt to start building them again was only about a decade ago.
Now that was so interesting it was good.
Originally the company was Edgely. then they were Brooklands Aerospace around the time this film was made and when I did work experience at the factory and got my hands on one of the 2 planes used in the film (I think it was protoypes 1 and 3) by the time I was there 1 had no wings but 3 was still flyable. I saw it fly, too. And I also helpoed service the Hampshire Police one. Then the company got taken over by a Dutch company I believe.
I saw one at Oshkosh in the 90s! Neat plane.
Really cool looking plane.
THIS kind of comment is why I’m here. Yeah mate, great contribution to the SBIG community. And no, this isn’t sarcastic; this is the weird geek s-t this channel is all about! To me anyway…
Given the cast this definitely looks like a 'contractual obligation' movie for a number of them.
🤣
They didn't use the Force.
@@joelspringman523 It's fine, cause that's not how it works anyways. :)
F Murray Abraham and Ben Kingsley. And I never remotely heard of this movie before.
How have the mighty fallen!
I've seen this, and yet I remember nothing about it. But Mark is really rocking that "Lost Boys" look.
It's too boring to remember.
I rented this from a local video store back in '90 or '91. They had a deal where you could rent 3 movies for $2 so I watched a lot of B movies and just grabbed whatever on impulse without paying much attention to who was in it. It took me more than half of the movie to even realize that was Mark Hamill. Suddenly realizing that it was Mark Hamill is about the only thing I remember about it.
That and explosion are all that's memorable.
Mark looks like a badass in this. Kinda gives me a Kiefer Sutherland vibe.
He does. Wish he was in it more.
According to IMDB, this movie never got distributed in the US, which in turn led to its producer going bankrupt. That may explain why you've never heard of it before. . . Oh yeah, the producer was a guy by the name of Gary Kurtz, who actually produced a few more successful movies before this such as the original Star Wars as well as The Empire Strikes Back!
Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro? Pah. Bill Paxton and Mark Hamil sharing five seconds of screen time is my jam.
haha
Bill Paxton and a generic 80's soundtrack mixed with props from Harbor Freight make this a $1800 masterpiece.
🤣 🤣 Nice.
haha Game Over man .;P and "im gonna butter your muffin". My sister had a blob of a bush near her front door that she named "Chet"
I miss Bill Paxton, one of my favourite actors and truly underrated. He could play anything and pretty much did.
@@odinsahn7648 yeah, he was one of the decent ones....mostly oddball stuff but was always entertaining.
@@Daremo6969 Watch him as the villain in 2 Guns with Wahlberg and Denzel if you haven't already.
For those wondering about Mark Hamill's censored role: it's in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Saying any more would spoil the joke.
SackTapper
Yup.
RoosterPersonwhoplacesarrowonbowstring.
And if you go up to that character and ask about his name, he’ll be happy to tell you a funny story about its origin. It’s got a great punchline.
I'm surprised you didn't notice Ben Kingsley at 902, this movie had 2 Oscar winners Kingsley and F Murray Abraham.
We never saw him. I definitely would have recognized him. Our copy was really awful.
You guys are my favorite hidden gem channel!
Thanks!
@JasonBrant yes channel is amazing. The way y'all all watch together, jokes crack me up. I have a question if the channel I love movie nights can show the whole movie from the 70s 80s etc. and they are available to watch, But y'all can't show the movie y'all watch? Do you have any insight on this?
@@jtcattanio from what I know, these guys put the unedited stuff on patreon.
@thatindiandude4602 yes but not the video. I know youtube will take it down.. but how come someone can show movie full movies.. and they can't while watching a movie themselves.. just. Baffles me is all. I was wondering if he had any insight into the situation.
@@jtcattanio Some of those old B-movies have become public domain and don't have copyright restrictions like other big movies do.
According to IMDB, this movie was produced by the great Gary Kurtz, who produced the Star Wars movies as well as other '70s and '80s classics like The Dark Crystal and American Graffiti. This movie bombed so badly that it sent him into bankruptcy and he never produced another big-budget movie again.
Yep. He had just produced "Return to Oz" a few years before, which also flopped. I believe he produced "Slipstream" in Ireland as he was running low on funds and was in the middle of a divorce.
Lucas had fired Gary Kurtz from Star Wars because he felt that Kurtz simply wasn't very good at his job and frequently mismanaged stuff and was bad at finances, causing Empire Strikes Back to fall behind schedule and over budget, which forced Lucas to beg Fox for more money. While Kurtz insisted that Lucas stopped caring about good stories and just wanted to sell toys, a look into Kurtz's films after The Dark Crystal kinda shows Lucas was the one telling the truth; Kurtz was doing such a bad job on Return to Oz that Disney fired him off the project before filming even started, he only retained an executive producer credit because his replacement felt sorry for him (and interestingly enough Lucas had to come in and save that film's director Walter Murch from being fired) and Slipstream more or less finished him off, aside from an obscure heist film starring Alfred Molina, Helen Shaver and Stephen Fry. Kurtz was also involved in the infamous Thief and the Cobbler and that's a massive story that's too long to tell here, but it's obvious he didn't do a good job there either.
That's a real plane called an Edgely Optica. Designed as a spotter aircraft that has the visibility of a helicopter and the running cost of a plane. They were made in Salisbury UK where I used to live. When I was younger I did my work experience at that factory and I have actually touched that plane, still in the Slipstream livery. I think I oiled the ailerons and flaps or something.
Cool looking plane.
1) Elmer Bernstein *did* do the music for "Ghostbusters" as well as this. Good ear, Jason. 2) "Post-apocalyptic should be on a budget." Yeah, that makes sense. Erin has enough quotable quotes to make a shirt with her face on the front, and her best ten quotes on the back.
He did music for both? Wow. I'm surprised I got that one. And then I couldn't think of F. Murray Abraham's name.
Well, then Elmer Bernstein was a big fan of Basil "The Fuckin' Man" Poledouris, cuz I definitely heard Mountain of Power Procession from Conan & Robocop's theme. Also, I agree - Erin has some great quotes & she's been on fire lately. If they do that shirt idea...
I'd buy that for a dollar!!
Bet Mark Hamill is chaotic enough to watch these movies with you guys if you ask him
THANK YOU! One time my Dad took me to Blockbuster to rent a movie. He stood in the action section staring at the case for this movie. He and I were big on watching Star Wars together so he thought "This has Mark Hamill in it, we should check it out." We got half way through it and my Dad apologized to me for renting it. For the longest time I thought the movie was The Gyver, but I would watch it and have numerous doubts on it. For some reason I was thinking it may be a sequel to the lost boys because he looks like David.
The Guyver is so much better than this.
@@jculver1674 straight facts.
Your dad apologized. That's hilarious.
You know, there is always the possibility of Robot Jesus that you never considered.
You guys missed Sr Ben Kingsley in the cave scene. The man under the stone the robot saved.
Soon as they crashed into the mountain. Erin instantly started smiling lol. After that, she was sad again…
Cause this movie blows 🤣
One of the reasons Mark gives for these one off fringe flicks is because, after Star Wars, EVERY role he was offered was basically Luke Skywalker!
It’s too bad this role was more like Duke Skylarper
That location with all the caves in the white rock-face looks like the place where a lot of Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (better known in the West as 'Turkish Star Wars') was shot. Now that's a mad thing you need to see.
Bob Peck (Muldoon) was in some amazing shows in England, including one of the greatest miniseries made: Edge of Darkness.
Fun fact. This was directed by the same guy that directed Tron, Steven Lisberger
Ah, that explains the leftover unused Tron music in the soundtrack. But what a strange and lackluster movie, especially given the stellar cast.
Luke Shitewalker stars in 'Pisstream"
2 Oscar winners in this film.
Pisstream 🤣
Mark Hamill is totally giving me Keifer Sutherland "David from Lost Boys" vibes with his look
Filmed in the Turkey in the same place so many bad movies were filmed. Yor, Turkish Star Wars, Land of Doom, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and a dozen others.
It was filmed in Ireland and had a very very small budget. There's a whole saga behind it. From what I recall, it a lot of friends of the director (such as the composer) were involved. The funny looking plane is an Optica, it combined the advantages of a helicopter with the low cost of a fixed wing aircraft.
Yes I saw it when it came out.
A lot, of it was filmed in Turkey as well. I lived in Turkey for a few years and saw the hot air balloon race in Cappadocia, Turkey.
Was it filmed near the Burren?
Many of the scenic shots at the start are of the North Yorkshire Moors (in England). I saw it when it first came out and reacted much the same as you guys. It started well and then committed the ultimate movie sin of becoming boring.
What did you think when you saw it?
"You'd rather look at darkness than this movie."
Just keep drinking Erin. You'd pass out and look at darkness and we'd be entertained by that journey to passing out.
Mark Hamill looks so amazing in this movie. I wish they would have done some cyberpunk stuff with this character. Also I don't think they even realized it was Ben Kingsley in the movie @9:13
Couldn't really see or hear him.
@@JasonBrant 🤣
It's Bob Peck great British actor ,you should really check him out in the definitive BBc version of Edge of Darkness(not the terrible gibson rethinking) .Peck and Joe don Baker in an acting masterclass.
Will do.
He is also in Jurassic Park.
Hehe - and then you pointed it out two minutes later 😄
Y’all ever seen “Corvette Summer” it’s pretty bad too. Another Hamill masterpiece. Lol
Hadn't even heard of it until this week.
Hamill's first film after Star Wars
The bulbous plane is an Edgley EA-7 Optica AKA the Brooklands Aerospace Optica OA-7. They built 25 of them before going bankrupt due to problems with the design. They really thought it was going to replace helicopters as a low cost, low speed option. @Jason Brant
I'm an Aviation enthusiast and YES the Aircraft at 1:36 is indeed real, it's the Edgley Optica EA-7, quite a fascinating Aircraft to be honest.
Looked really cool.
"It's like the Jokers gun"
Well, then I guess it fits Mark Hamill pretty well.
Haven't seen him in many movies before either. Maybe the Jay and Silent Bob one. Oh, and the Wing Commander 3 game of course. Loved it.
I remember tagging you in a photo of this… this will be an adventure lol..
Thanks for that.
@@JasonBrant yeah.. dead awful isn’t it.. 🤣
This movie stars a guy who, prior to this release, was in Aliens and The Terminator and another guy who was the lead in 3 Star Wars movies.
Absolute sci-fi royalty and yet, here they are... in Slipstream.
F. Murray Abraham has, indeed, been in a ton of movies! He's a hell of an actor, he was in Scarface, and he was also Salieri! This is a hidden, uh, gem? Never heard of it before, great show as always!
"Muldoon" from Jurassic Park was also in Lord of the Flies. He's the guy who shows up on the beach at the end.
We will need lawyers and accountants after the apocalypse, for snacks.
Did Erin's idea turn out to be a good one?
Bill Paxton was an absolute legend.
EDIT: F. Murray Abraham was in Scarface and Amadeus, two awesome movies.
Thanks for suffering through this, you guys(and gal) are always awesome😎
Yup.
Abraham won a freaking Oscar, five years before he appeared in this piece of crap. WTH happened?
Some of the exterior scenes were filmed at Malham Cove in the UK which is not far from Bob Peck's home town. The same location was used for the exteriors in the Dark Crystal.
so many great actors in this, surprised you didn`t go " Ben Kingsley?" @9:13
We couldn't really see his face.
Check him out in Corvette Summer
For the channel? Or offline?
Have you guys seen Big Love with Bill Paxton. I loved that show
Yup. Great show.
Ahh now this is nice, a hidden "gem" that I haven't seen, or at least if I did my mind blocked it out. I love seeing these on the channel!
It's fun unearthing movies like this.
It’s easy to do a post apocalypse on a budget. Just head for the junkyard.
And get a Jeep.
I remember hiring this from the video store & it bored me shitless, Bill Paxton just about makes it watchable, I'm with Erin her reactions mirrored mine.
As always a hilarious reaction video, you always have me laughing at your wonderful humour.
*Mark Hamill pulling out his gun*
Jason: That's the Jokers gun.
Well, HE IS THE JOKER and the best one if I may add.
He is the voice actor for Joker in the animated series.
Your guys channel has been a hidden gem so far. Been binging it for over a week now
Mark was in a show called knightfall a few years back and I was shocked when I recognized him. Imagine if yo-sammity sam in the middle ages.
haha
The plane is real and unique. It's an Edgley Optica observation plane built in Britain. The Optica was intended to be a low cost alternative to helicopters for police work. Only 22 were ever built because the factory was burned down by a disgruntled employee.
It was really cool looking.
Bill Paxton was the greatest! When I was younger I just called him Chet from his role in Weird Science. His characters and line delivery are hilarious! I think Aliens has to be my favorite, though.
He went way too early.
3:50 I mean he was the Joker for 30yrs. ☺️ Hamil is just awesome! That said: What was this movie even about?
Good Call Jason, the Music Composer for this movie, Elmer Bernstein, did provide music for the original Ghostbusters score & soundtrack. That music has been used in the videogames, animated projects & even Ghostbusters Afterlife.
Slipstream was a staple on HBO back in the day. It's a slow burn movie but i remember loving it on a Saturday afternoon.
Mark was so good in this, the plane the optica I used to see flying over my house, it was tested by the police for a while. Thanks guys, awesome as always.
Then Jericho's big area was a cool song too
That plane crash scene was perfect 😂 what a m night shyamalan like twist that was.
Came out of nowhere 🤣
I wish they would have rolled credits right then. Show the wreckage, then credits, that's it.
The villagers are going to show up at Jason's house with torches and pitchforks for this!!!
I had to look it up on IMDb, did you miss the Ben Kingsley scene? So much star power in a little movie! And of course Bill Paxton!
YES!! I been waiting for this one!
But... why 🤣
One of Mark's best roles is being the voice of the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series from the 90s
I absolutely love my experimental plane, flying free as an eagle, listening to John Denver.
"Did they sky crucify him."
He's cruci-fly!
I vaguely remember this movie. I remember it was dryer than a Popeye's biscuit.
Yeah, it's boring.
Mark Hamill as Keifer Sutherland.
Hah, seriously.
I actually watched this on release at the Odeon Leicester Square in London.
Was in full 2:35 widescreen with only cropped versions having been released on DVD and a German blu ray in full screen versions.
And by popular demand, the barbarian sound has returned! 🎉❤
The plane was an Optica, designed to fly very slow as an observation platform. It had a few issues.
Bob Peck.
Robert Muldoon, Raptor Gamekeeper, Jurassic Park.
“Clever girl!”
I've SEEN this movie, and NEVER knew that was Mark Hamil!!!
"Hey Zeus" is the one and only! Accept him as your one and only savior...along with Paxton...and "Luke" of course! 🤣
If I hadn't seen your earlier 'what's coming up' post, I would've thought this was a Sebastian Stan flick by the thumbnail. Dude looks more like a bleach-blonde Winter Soldier than Luke Skywalker.
Ha, just saw this in my 101 classic sci fic movies box set. Still gonna watch my favorite beer soaked trio make fun of it first.
I never before in my life saw Mark Hamill and thought, "They could have gotten Brion James instead." But now here we are.....
Too bad they suddenly dropped the whole Muldoon Jesus thing. The kite crucifixion is probably the most original adaptation l have seen. Kind of worth it to see Bill Paxton in a burger king hat dancing at a post apocolyptic fancy dress ball, though.
5:59 I do like that the movie was shot in the same island as The Last Jedi.
Mark Hamill just never left it seems.
Mark Hamill, Bob Peck, Bill Paxton, Robbie Coltrane, Ben Kingsley, F. Murray Abraham. Lots of famous actors.
Gary Kurtz, from Star Wars was a producer
Terry Rawlings, the editor from Alien
Elmer Bernstein apparently did the score
What happened to this movie lol
Bad drugs
Oh, Mark…
Hey, he still the second best Joker of all time.
Hope they watch The Room on this channel sometime
Man has to eat.
Plus the guy with the big hair in the cave was Sir Ben Kingsley, played Ghandi and also the fake Mandarin in the MCU
We couldn't really see his face most of the time.
I love how you guys have seen so many Seagal movies that everything else doesn’t seem to bad. Lol
Mark Hamill is amazing. I love The Guvyer that he was in back in the early 90s, maybe late 80s. I rewatched it a few years ago and it's still a fun movie but it's not as good as when I was young lol 😆
That's on the watchlist.
@@JasonBrant Then I hope "Guyver Dark Hero" with Solid Snake David Hayter is on the list too?
Is the Guyver the one where Bryon James is also in it?
@@EfftupSmith I don't think so, but it did have both Linnea Quigley and Jeffrey Combs, so that's awesome lol Oh! And Michael Berryman!
@Panicagq2 I haven't seen Mark Hamill in much but he was in some kind of Sci Fi that I remember seeing Bryon James in too.Gonna have to Google and see
The guy with the mustache you were talking about at around 18:40 was in Scarface as well.
That waterfall is Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. I lived in Minnepolis.
There are 2 Oscar winners in this! Ben Kingsley @ 9:12 mark and F. Murray Abraham. Wow!
Kingsley won an Oscar for “Ghandi” in 1982
This is THE movie to watch back to back with Cherry 2000.
Widescreen HD version now available on TH-cam and Prime. It took a viral pic of Hamill looking 'badass' to get a decent quality release out there.
I saw this movie as a kid when it first came out on video, so I have an odd soft spot for it. I appreciate anything that goes for something weird and unique, which this certainly was. I also have a feeling that this movie only exists because someone had access to those airplanes and said "we should make a movie about this." It's a shame there's never been a good transfer, as this would probably look pretty good remastered in widescreen, but who's gonna bother doing that? Whatever studio made this is probably long out of business and their film prints are lost forever.
Mark Hamill is sporting the "Lost Boys" Kiefer Sutherland look. Bill Paxton has passed on, blown up in a building during a Pat Benatar video. This movie had to be a tax write-off for everyone involved. Rock on SBIG crew 🤘😎
That random guy in the cave with his family on 9:11 is Ben Kingsley! No way
3:16 I'm right there with you, Mr.Brandt.
Bill Paxton AND F. Murray Abraham !?! ...... GAME OVER MAN.... GAME OVER......
“Velocipastor.” You will not be disappointed. A masterpiece
6:09 It looks like the Chinese are still at it...even in the post-apocalyptic future.
2:57 Predator 2 or Aliens? 🤣🙃
'GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER'!
At last some more modern stuff!!! I love 80s cheese but it’s nice to have some new age genuine shit. Speaking of which, I have such a good gel I’m going to send you guys, took me along time to hunt it down so hopefully it makes it on the channel one day lol
Looking forward to it. Thanks!
All I remember about this movie is it put to to sleep it's so boring
It really is.
You will know Bob Peck from the first Jurassic Park.
He was the hunter in it.
Yup.
Oh my god seeing your excitement over Bill Paxton makes me pray you guys give the slasher Mortuary a go!
Mark Hamill with white hair, poor editing and alcohol.
Perfect for Thursday.
🤣
18:57 Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham.
Couldn't think of his name at all.
Holy Ben Kingsley, Batman! And CW Longbottom!
Wish we'd seen him.
