When Italian filmmakers ripoff The Terminator, you get the hilarious monstrosity that is Hands of Steel. Arm wrestling, plastic skirts, kissing winners, and dryer vent hoses abound.

Jason's head is like computer that keeps in its memory names and faces of ALL bad actors. This dude is like a savant 😂
Is that a blessing or a curse?
@@flandango1985 so blessing it's a curse
He is the rain man of shite movies
It's the only thing I can remember. Pretty sad, haha.
I love that Jason can remember B list actors by name, but he had to struggle to remember Kyle Reece
Erin laughed so hard , her veins started popping!!😝
Wasn't sure she was gonna make it.
Veins the size of dryer vents 😂
@@JasonBrant But that's the chance you take!
@@JasonBrant I hope she is ok 😔
"Her?" The only time I see cephalic veins like that is on dudes or extreme female body builders. We sure she doesn't have a "hand of steel?"
"Is this a dystopian future?"
"No, no, no, no... this is New York!"
Already that early in the episode I got a good laugh. Thanks!
I always enjoy when Erin gets broken on an infinite laughing loop!
Happens a lot, haha.
Yeah gets me laughing also!
Massive bit of trivia (involving real-life death!) about this film, but first: The lead actor's name is Daniel Green, and Jason's absolutely right - he was indeed in American Rickshaw.
So, the fatality. A helicopter used during filming in Arizona flew too close to the underside of a bridge, causing the rotor blades to hit it and break off, leaving the body of the chopper to plummet to the ground below. Both the pilot and star Claudio Cassinelli died, and the pilot's body was never recovered. A bottle of Ionamin (a prescription diet pill) was found in the pilot's hotel room, but it's not confirmed whether that played a part since, as I say, they never found his body to test.
John Saxon (who's also in this) was a sticker for following the rules of the Screen Actor's Guild, and since this was not a union film, refused to film any scenes in the US. He has since stated that this almost certainly saved his life - since the helicopter crash happened in the US, he would probably have been on it had he not been sticking to the SAG rules. The only helicopter scenes he shot were in Italy (check the registration on the chopper - it differs depending on where the scene was shot).
Oh, shit. That's terrible.
And Elvira Mistress of the dark *wink wink*
@@yaburnt9754 um what does Elvira have to do with this?
Nice!!
@@megatronjenkins2473 Green was in the Elvira movie.
At some point there has got to be a compilation video of every time Erin completely loses it with laughter.
That should definitely happen.
PLEASE do this.
I concur
The sequel needs to be him saving the world from a humongous ball of lint rolling down Main Street
Killer story.
"It was a day in our near future." They referred to the future in the past tense. That is some expert level Italian English. John Saxon must have been so proud that he was able to advance his career from Enter the Dragon to this. I only wish Paco had opened the flesh of his arms to reveal they were dryer vents covered in skin all along.
Saxon made his fair share of cheesy flicks for sure.
Even the cheese foreign movies from four decades ago are so much more fun than anything these days that the studios are dropping hundreds of millions on.
The end of this movie should be studied and replicated.
These trash movies are only "fun" because they are not shown in full and commented on with a huge amount of laughing.
I can't watch any of the made for TV movies of the 80's, early 90's.
They are so badly filmed, lighted, scripted, played. They are trash.
Right because everything now a days is bullshit remakes or 10,573 marvel superhero movies that confuse the shit outta me. Or some zombie shit.
@@butchreed5764 That's not true.
There are many gems out there in many genres.
And many original ideas.
@@FutureChaosTV You can stick your woke rubbish. 80s B movies any day 💪😎
And the third movie needs to be him and Jean-Claude Van Damme just going through the jungle punching snakes in the head
I'd be all over that movie.
i really hope the sequel is called "Buns of Steel"
Genius.
_”we want it to look like terry gilliam’s sets on brazil”_
-great, what’s the budget?
_”$50”_
-dryer vents it is…
🤣 🤣 You must have sat in on production meetings.
"Pretty sure my horse and dia-beats." Everytime I watch you guys you have me rolling. 🤣🤣🤣Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Joel!
At 6:41, there’s a picture of WWE megastar “Hillbilly Jim” on the wall… near the dryer vent(s).
This film is glorious.
Back when I was watching good bad films with my gang in college, Italian ripoff movies were a staple of ours. They have a certain "something" that makes them extra hilarious. The beers also helped, to be fair.
One movie you should feature some day is 2019: After the Fall of New York, which is an Escape From NY ripoff and its goddamn ridiculous.
Added to the watchlist. Love these ripoff movies!
With George Eastman, the first arm wrestler, who beats “Paco” while hanging from the chain, playing a very odd role. He was also in the Barbarias, with the brothers, and wrote on a lot of stuff.
He’s done Emanuel’s movies, horror, pron, Sci Fi and Spaghetti westerns in the 60’s.
Probably other actors from that movie in this one, but he’s the one I recognize immediately in everything.
"Now I wanna go out and buy a SPAS-12".
Yep. That reaction sums up '80s action movies quite well.
Jason you guys have to review Segal's movie "Shadow Man". If you don't I'll have to come over and start snatching birthdays..
Yesss I need Jason's review of that movie.
I have a copy of that. We'll definitely watch it. Unfortunately.
"Those are the champs of the last ten years."
One of those pictures was WWE Hall of Famer Hillbilly Jim.
Didn't recognize him at all. Great catch.
The “rocket” on the end of the shotgun was an unconvincing mockup of a rifle grenade, a weapon powered by a blank cartridge in the gun. BTW: @Jason Brant the yellow, brown & white helicopter toward the end is a Bell 206 JetRanger, if you’re familiar with it take a look at in just how many movies from the 1970’s to the 2000’s the helicopter or at least 1 of the helicopters is a JetRanger, it’s amazing.
Great video, thanks.
Erin’s laughing breakdowns are just ✨👌✨! Just love ‘em. It took a tad too long for you to figure out “A kiss for the winner”. 😂
Great reaction as per usual.
Synthetic knickers wrapped in cling film in the Arizona desert.... It must have been like a chutney factory down there. 😁
Oh god
Good thing it’s a dry heat!
@@JasonBrant I think God is just as grossed out as we are🤣🤣🤣🤣
The character that asked for "keys for the wiener" is played by Luigi Montefiori a.k.a. George Eastman. You've previously seen him in HUUUURRR, I mean The Barbarians. Hopefuly you'll see him one day in Antrophopagus, which he also co-wrote.
4:30 "Reliability: Maximum. Negative Characteristics: None."
I hate it when people lie on their dating profiles.
Me too...🙄😒😏
I need to print a business card with that on it.
The Italian title Vendetta dal Futuro is really spot on. It means Revenge from the Future. I love this movie. Does anyone agree that cheesy movies from before are much better than movies now?
Definitely a dearth of good action movies now.
The German title translates to "Paco - Fighting Machine Of Death". Sure, just give the entire plot away in the title, why not?
The Danish title was "Queruak". And if you knew that was the last name of the main character, that actually meant something to you. Imagine standing in front of a cinema and the marquee just says "queruak"...
The Damn McDowell's T-shirt is easily one of my favorites along with the macho man shirt because I also have that one 😂😂😂 but the "maybe he loses hearts" comment got me lol like he's Link from Zelda 😂😂
I'm so surprised this isn't a Seagal movie. I guess he would have called it "Iron Hands Of Justice" lol 😆
I imagine the set dresser walked into an Ace Hardware and said “I need six thousand feet of dryer vent hose. Do you have that in stock?”
So the cyborg ripped a man's heart out of his chest.....is this the origin story of Mortal Kombat's Kano? 🤔😆🤪
Everyone ripped of Hands of Steel 🤣
This is one of those classic Italian ripoff movies that feels like it was written by a couple of middle school geeks. 'What if, instead of Kyle Reese, the diner lady got with the Terminator, and also the Terminator arm wrestled, and fought Pris from Blade Runner...?' I love it.
Lethal ball tapping, one of the 100 secret techniques available in Count Dante's magazines
Counte Dante 🤣
0:25 Yep, the moment I saw the poster I recognized it was Daniel Greene. But I will always remember him as Dickie in Me, Myself & Irene.
That didn't even occur to me. Good catch.
@@JasonBrant haha thanks man. And since you guys enjoy horrible cyborg movies, I'd like to recommend Robot Ninja by J.R. Bookwalter. It might be too gory to use on this channel, but it's guaranteed to crack you up!
Don't know about doing that with a shotgun, but when I was in the army we had a special kind of grenade that looked exactly like a rocket, and you would attach it at the end of the barrel of the G3A3 rifle exactly like the dude does in this movie with the shotgun. And to fire it you would actually put blank rounds in the rifle, and the gas from the blank would propel the grenade.
Huh. Had no idea. Thanks for the info!
@@JasonBrant The shotguns used in this film are Italian made Franchi SPAS 12's, same as the one in the "clever girl" scene in Jurassic Park, and yeah, they had muzzle mounted grenade launchers available. The film, being Italian, might have received some prop support from Franchi giving them some access to some exotic accessories.
@@modithorson7484 neat!!! Great accessories to get ahold of!!!
@@JasonBrant No problem. Keep on doing what you doing guys, we freaking love it!! Greek fan from the UK here. *clinging of beers*
08:55 It’s always best episode when Erin turns into The Barbarian Brothers 😂😂😂
"I am the perfect cyborg."
They couldn't do anything about that voice though, huh?
“Why is she wrapped in Saran Wrap”?
Because it’s… THE FUTURE!
Damn Jason and crew y’all been kicking the arse lately
Thanks, Edwardo!
Jason wearing a McDowell's shirt from Coming to America. Nice. 👍
My lovely wife found it.
Erin's Space Camp t-shirt made me squeal with joy and delight...then I double "joyed" at the McDowell's tee. T-shirt game is on point tonight folks 👌
Edit: I read it back and that sounds unexpectedly rude and gross 🫣🤭
🤣🤣🤣
Minute zero! We got heel! Minute 1:55, we have feet! Already know this video is a thumbs up, but now it’s two!
We also know now where Halo got its inspiration for the spartan laser canon ;)
From IMDB…Co-star Claudio Cassinelli died in a helicopter crash on July 12, 1985, during filming in Arizona. According to the National Transportation Safety Board report, the rotor blades of the Bell 206-B struck the underside of a steel bridge and broke off, causing the aircraft to plummet into the canyon below, killing Cassinelli and the pilot. The crash was officially attributed to inattention and poor judgment by the pilot. The NTSB report notes that a bottle of the prescription diet pill Ionamin (phentermine) was found in the pilot's hotel room, and that this drug may cause errors in judgment, but his actual use of the drug could not be verified because his body was never recovered.
I love it when Erin breaks!
Been happening a lot lately.
The Citizen Kane of dryer vent futuristic Italian movies
Hah! Brilliant filmmaking.
LMAO, that intense frown on Erins face where she yells "David Hasselhoff!".
"you know how expensive dryer vents are"
I almost spilled my beer and I don't even drink 🤣🤣
It would be really fun if you guys would dive into the oevre of Reb Brown. I suggest starting with Strike Commando, because you'll have a lot of fun guessing all the movies it's ripping off.
Strike Commando, Robowar and Shocking Dark are the holy trinity of "Vincent Dawn's" Great Value Hollywood blockbusters made in Italy.
Strike Commando is near the top of the list. Can't wait for that one.
@@JasonBrant don't forget his two Captain America movies. Not the MCU movies, back in the 80s.
Ted Danson + M.Gibson, this guy is what you get, every time.
19:00 the perfect cyborg smokes 2 cartons of Marlboros a day, it sounds like.
“…there’s gonna be dryer lint everywhere!”
I almost lost it.
Cheers SBIG! 🇨🇦
That shot is also used on Star Trek TNG with Data’s hand removed. Everyone stole it. The dryer vents on the other hand…..😂
That hard stop of an ending was epic! I need more dryer vents in my videos...
“Pretty sure my horse had diabetes” for some reason is one of the funniest comments I’ve heard. 😂
I'm sorry that horse story made me tear from laughing🤣🤣🤣
Never heard about the director, but as an Italian myself growing up in the '80s, one face I recognized immediately, that of Janet Agren! Swedish actress, starred in so many B-to-Z italian movies of the '80s. Man, what a trip on memory lane.
9:00 Erin’s laugh sounds like someone crying their eyes out at a funeral.
"That's my retirement lint!" 😆
@20:18 you can see the AR is not even cycling....he's just shaking the gun with shooting sounds playing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My wife pointed out that the guy who got his heart ripped out was Nancy Dad in Nightmare on Elm Street
"Nooo, that's my retirement lint!" 😂 😂 😂 You guys seemed drunker than normal in this one. I have to say I prefer these types of movies where they actually put some effort in to the really low budget American & Canadian ones that are worse than school plays.
For christmas, you should do a compilation of everytime Erin loses her shit
Erin's vascularity is on point ! Love this channel!
I've lost count of how many times Erin goes broken 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"If you're shitting in your pants, clean your ass with this". Now that was BADASS!
Polish man here. I confirm that in fact "gacie" means underwear in polish. It's prenounced more or les like "got'ya".
For this awesome polish reference with the power given to me by pierogi and vodka, I hereby, solemnly reward you with honorary polish citizenship.
This will automatically make you more resistant to alcohol and Brian won't stutter so much adter a 10% brewsky.
:D
So I see you are committed to keeping me and Dave apart. This aggression will not stand, man...
For the record, "Kiss the Weiner" is a entire different movie.
8:41 is Erin crying or laughing ? LOL.
Dying.
Erin got some wicked vein poppin' arms.
She's in good shape.
7:17 The Room stole the scene I’m waiting for this Bama just saying “why Lisa why!”
Wiseau is a huge fan of Hands of Steel 🤣
I guess “kiss the wiener” is gong to another household phrase with SBIG. Also I love it when a movie breaks Erin. She has done the HRRRR sound so long, it’s become part of her laugh when she loses it!
Cheers guys!
Thought it was "keys for the weiner". They have a Weiner Mobile?
Erin cursing and looking at Jason is priceless ... hahaha " Why she look at me when she say that " that kill me .. great episode ... looking for the unboxing ... where is the other dude? Dave?
2:14 Those two dorks with the rifles. One guy has his finger on the trigger & the other dork has both hands on the forend like he's holding a piece of fencepost. You can tell they're super experienced with guns. One guy will accidentally shoot you and the other guy will never be able to fire his rifle.
The shotgun rocket reminded me of the Carnage ability from Mass Effect.
Jason, you are right. That picture was a pro wrestler who was called the one man gang or Akeem depending on where you saw him first. And I noticed another pro wrestler on that wall too Hill Billy Jim.
I was Sure it was one man gang as well had to scroll a ways to see if someone agreeed with me
All the rifle grenades and SPAS 12 accessories look like they are from the Michael Sopkiw movie Blastfighter.
I love Erin's expression when Jason says it's the guy from American Rickshaw.
"When old people fall asleep you just think they're dead" 🤣🤣
"zoom in on my face. That how serious I am" 🤣🤣
I been saying that “kiss for the weiner” line for the last 30 years. Never forgot it after seeing this flick when i was a teen. Brothers and i thought it was hilarious.
This wouldn’t get the stamp from me. Erin was so drunk on this one.
Glad you guys are still doing this.
I don’t even remember what Erin was laughing about
But it’s contagious
Awesome episode!
“What are you Brian?” 😂😂😂😂. I spit my drink out.
If anybody's interested in the bridge at 20:19, that's Navajo Bridge in Arizona, located southwest of Lake Powell near the Utah border. At the time this movie was filmed, there was only the one bridge, and it was used for traffic. In the mid-90s, they built a second, wider bridge and routed traffic over that. The original bridge then became a walkway for pedestrians. I visited there back in 2021, and the scenery in the surrounding area is gorgeous, in a dry rocky desert-y sort of way. 🙂 I strongly recommend visiting if you have the chance. (And if you do, you might as well stop by the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, since it's in the neighborhood.)
Damn it!
They blew up my trailer with the SPAS-12 rocket. I know hell would freeze over before my insurance ever covers that.
15:59 TH-cam aint gonna be happy 🤣🤣
Thanks for pointing that out. Added a blur that should take effect soon.
I love how Erin lives in a parallel universe during the show🤣🤣
9:08 that bicep vein, she’s laughing so hard she’s literally getting a pump.
"How's this for an idea? What if 'Fist of The North Star', 'Over the Top' & 'The Terminator' was made into one movie?!"
I have to say I never expected this one to go from Terminator and 1984 to Over The Top in the drop of a hat..
I gotta say, the lack of punctuation in the title gave me a completely different expectation for this movie. Still amazing.
"It keeps her fresher longer" lol Brian you comedy god you!
Finally! The long awaited Superman sequel!!!
Almost the same budget.
"Why did you drop it in the first place" ..daaamn! ( 01:51) ..Best line and not from the movie haha
This movie feels like kids playing: and then there is a snake but he karate kills it and then there is another cyborg... and then the bad guys use a giant gun...
Awesome vid. Thanks
"Kiss For the Wiener" was Seal's poorly received follow up song.
"Weekend Warriors", this dude is the guy with the Super Nuclear Fart! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I remember when my Dad brought this movie and No Retreat no Surrender 2(VHS copy) in 1988.
After i finished all my assignment i sat down and watched the 2 movies.
11:01 'Read 'em and weep?' Hell, nah: it's 'Read 'em...and WIPE.' 🧻🖊
13:17 You didn't warn us about the human pinata.
21:31 and 21:41 Is that a...toy 'copter?!
20:18 That guy is firing his AR just like a 10 year old playing cops and robbers.
To be fair to Erin, that horse story broke me too. Always enjoy watching these videos, they make my day. Thank you!
I feel bad for the guy who went to the Home Depot looking for a dryer vent only to learn that a movie production bought up every one in town.
2:25 I just remembered I had a watch like that in the 80s. I loved it.
