"Is every Goddamn woman in this Goddamn hell hole out of her Goddamn mind" I'm amazed they didn't comment on Miller still doing the Goddamn Batman meme despite it not being Batman.
I worked in a cinema when this film came out.
I've never seen so many people walk out of a film, showing after showing.
People even stayed till the end of the Keith Lemon film!
They didn't laugh, but they at least stayed.
Matt Hancox wow, that says a lot.
Matt Hancox I think Holmes & Watson took that prize
Miller should'nt have done this. But, then again- it’s what he wanted to do, shat on another icon!
Me and my best friend went to see it when it was playing in theaters. I believe we went opening weekend so all the horrible reviews hadn’t hit yet. We were both huge fans of Sin City. But this was just awful. No one walked out that I could see but a lot of pissed off people coming out of the auditorium including us. Haven’t watched it since.
I feel bad for you thankfully he doesn't have a lot of work nowadays
As terrible as this movie is, I'll admit Samuel L. Jackson gave a pretty entertaining performance, especially when you consider the material he was given.
Agreed. I love how Jackson can make even the dumbest lines sound awesome. Like his monologue about eggs in his face.
Well, Samuel L. Jackson practically nails every role he's in, regardless of the quality of the film.
Man, I would have wanted to be a fly on the wall when he found out that he'd have to dress up in a Nazi uniform
i think the directions he was given was: play the Joker and Egghead from the 60´s batman series combined^^
I appreciate that Sam L Jackson gave zero shits about this movie, but he's still another thing on the long, long, LONG list of things that this movies does to make me cringe.
15:36 - 15:53: Nick Fury and Black Widow telepathically experience a shared dream about a jumping foot with a face. And that's a plain DAMN WEIRD DREAM for a SHIELD agent.
I honestly hope that this entire movie was just a hallucination by Romanoff and Fury brought on by some mind-control villain who's trying to drive them insane. After the "movie" ends, the villain thinks he's completely broken them, but they get up, reveal that they're still all in one piece, and kick his ass.
Or maybe it's all a Lana Winters hallucination.
That could be like the plot of the planned _Black Widow_ movie, I could see them waking up from that dream/hallucination and be like "What in the hell did we just experience?"
@@furioussherman7265 broken? In one piece? Did you just accidentally make two more egg puns?
@@RabblesTheBinx Completely unintentional, I assure you.
I have HAD it with these muthafuckin' eggs on my muthafuckin' face!!
Or in Frank Miller's case, "These goddamn eggs on my goddamn face."
Well, hey, Nick. You can't make an option without breaking a few eggs. That's evil for ya!
Eggman: OK WHAT DOES HE HAVE WITH EGGS
The city needs a adult. A responsible adult...
Miller is an...oh, you said responsible.
The city needs Frank Miller to fuck it
Treat her like a old, broken city needs
Let the old, broken city live in peace, Miller!
@@humayunazad5820 NEVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I'm not entirely sure what's Frank Miller's deal with color red in a film noir. I get that red can be used to emphasize danger of a temptress or the Nazi, but the Spirit also spots bright red tie when he's jumping from building to building. The same thing happens with Natalie Stack's red boots in Holy Terror. What's up with those red accessories?
manat31790 he probably saw Schindler’s List and thought it was impressive.
Point of Order: Mr. Freezes puns were better; at least the cold puns MADE SENSE! The egg jokes only work if you REALLY stretch your imagination to the point where Tarzan make puns about SNAKES (Get it?! Because some species of snakes give birth to life young!)!
....Ewww!
@@retrogamelover2012It's true!
talking about mutherfuckin snakes
Also at least arnold seems to have fun
"My city. She's always there for me."
She always catches me.
She's always there for me.
I fly.
Does that mean the city is 12 years old?
Would 120 years old work? :)
Random American City, age 120: ...
I thought that as soon as I heard it.
The Spirit, age 12
The name on the delivery truck is Ditko. As in Steve Ditko. Ted Kord's creator. Cute Frankie boy.
Well maybe he’s going for a objectivist idealism, but failing miserably
Since ditko is a objectivist, maybe this was a shout out to a person whose work influenced the film.
Mainly so that he could avoid anything related to the man who created the spirit
The movie was very clearly a "The Question" movie where Frank couldn't get the rights to "The Question." Why he chose to make it about The Spirit instead of just using a different character is beyond me.
Thank goodness Miller isn’t touching spider man anytime soon
@@TailsFan369no2 or blue beetle or other characters that if he ruins them I swear to god no Frank miller fanboy saying how much he helped the company would stop me
3:15 - Oh, God, they got narration from ASBAR! Duck and cover!
(Side note: the "Ditko's Speedy Delivery" van is a pretty clever reference... or at least it would be if Ditko had anything to do with the Spirit.)
At some point, I think this MIGHT have been a Question movie in an early draft and Miller didn't think to change his cute asides.
Why not go for at least a better pun?
In the Cat Scene, have 'Will' and 'Ner' in the shot with the eyes in between.
Thank goodness Miller isn’t touching spider man anytime soon
3:46
"Notice also Miller sexualizing a frickin' city."
-Lewis "Linkara" Lovhaug, 2010.
That kitty scene broke my heart. YOU SCOLD THEM LINKSANO!
No you kill them with slow acid linksano
12:10-12:25 No, Samuel L. Jackson is not dressed up as Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu was Chinese. He's dressed up as a samurai. Samurai are Japanese. Note the rising sun, the reference to seppuku, the katana and the topknot. Japanese, not Chinese.
does it really matter? cuz i dont think it ever did to frank miller
You know, this movie is awful, but Samuel L. Jackson is having SO much fun, every scene that he has is really fun.
But to be fair, Arnie is my favorite part of Batman and Robin. He's just...so...goofy it's great!
Samuel L Jackson has the ability to be entertaining as hell when he finds himself in a bad movie.
He goes like "Fuck it, I am going to have fun."
@@wjzav1971 Might as well chew the scenery, when you're a well-known actor in a bad movie. Case in point; Jeremy Irons in the DnD movie.
@@wjzav1971 well except for The Star Wars Prequels.
@@JoshuaWebbYT TAKE A SEAT
I completely feel you, Arnold made that movie enjoyable. As for Samuel he really does seem like he’s enjoying every scene and I actually like it, that fight scene at the beginning was kind of funny
Frank: ok Sam, Scarlett. If you do the film, I'll 100% guarantee you'll get successful careers in marvel movies
Sam: but you have me as a nazi. Why would we ever agree to this?
Frank: because you get to talk about your hatred of eggs
Sam: that's stupid
Frank: did I mention I have some drugs to make this feel like five minutes
Years later...
Sam: WORTH IT!
Sam and that woman: no no wasn't worth it
11:56
Ladies and gentlemen, the only time channel awesome will apologize for their wrong doing.
They didn't do any wrong since at least the pun made sense unlike the whole goddamn movie
This movie is making batman and robin more dignified
SJ RANKS If I were to give Batman and Robin ANY credit is that at least Joel Sumacher apologized for that film Frank Miller still owes said apology for this trainwreck
Austin Devine damn right he does I could hear Will Eisner rolling in his grave while watching this disaster
@@SJ_RANKS Rolling? More like doing backflips... and clawing at the coffin to try to get out and go punch Frank Miller in the face.
@@austindevine248 At least Joel’s Batman films didn’t have Nazis.
You know, I would put this movie on a list of the worst superhero movies, and possibly leave Batman and Robin off of it
The trouble with this film is that it's as thorough a crash course in all of Frank Miller's lousy, overdone tropes that you could wish for, but it's *so* awful as a result that you can't use it as an example because no-one in their right mind would watch it!
Kirkhammer is my Waifu I like your pink Raven pic.
Frank Miller is basically what if you gave a pulp writer from the 1930's some Crystal Meth.
Wow you were both so much thinner. And Matthew wasn't going bald. I kid. This is probably one of my favorite colabs.
+b1merio
2010 was a simpler time.
+TheSkully343 2010 (or 2009) was actually my heavier days! Haha.

*GASP!!*
FILM BRAIN-SENPAI!!!
YOU HONOR ME WITH YOUR ACKNOLEDGEMENT!
+b1merio I think filmbrain doesent get enough praise
What? Linkara looks like he has two pillows stuffed in his shirt.
"You're talkin' CRAZY-talk!"
"I'll be learnin' ya... real soon..."
Tristan Taylor: "JUST F*** ALREADY!!"
We need the spirit to be a Netflix series and be like the original comic
It'd be. Just stay hopeful!
considering the comic never showed the villains face you could have easily had him wear something like a suit with a wide brimmed hat of some sort that constantly cast a shadow over his face so all you can see is he eyes and occasionally his smile, it would probably fit in with the style and add to his intimidation factor, not to mention jacksons voice would probably be horrifying coming from a shadowy figure considering the tone he puts on for the villain role
Hey it's like the inspector gadget movie they both show the villain's face which in the original source material is a SHALL NOT DO AT ALL and are horrible and innacurate
I remember watching this movie when it came out.
I'd forgotten why it made me angry.
Thanks for the reminder.
I hope the cat was at least well paid.
Lesseroldertales as long as the guy like beening about pussy
"Not... Lloyd... _Approved._ "
That cat is ashamed of being in this movie and has a catnip addiction as a result.
The one he talked with, or all of them?
The cat attacked frank as sewing him
“What’s in the vase, Thor’s hammer?”
No Frank, Marvel Studios Is NOT HELPING YOU OUT OF THIS ONE!
🤦🏼♂️
Or any mythology
15:31 He passed creepy a long time ago, reused in a clip compilation from Atop the Fourth Wall's 300th episode: Holy Terror.
Ironically, this movie is the reason why Gabriel Macht (Denny Crane)'s character in Suits is called 'Harvey SPECTER'. XD
14:26 A wild Kate Beckett appears!
Gregory House Holy shit you're right wtf is she doing there
Beckett no...
Another coincidence is that Sam L. Jackson was in a movie called S.W.A.T, and 8 years later Gabriel Macht was in a DTV sequel called S.W.A.T: Firefight.
Thumbs up for the Castle reference
This guy did any other works?
"Makes me wonder if Will Eisner and Frank Miller were really friends." LMAO XD
20:23 He did not just say Thor's hammer in front of Nick Fury and Black Widow.
Oh yesus!!!!!!! He dida!!!!
Coincidence?
First off, Floss was the super scientist, not Serif. Second, gotta love how Miller makes all of his main characters wear Chuck Taylor All Stars, when Spirit sinks into the mudflaps you can see the sneaker bottoms.
Maybe he doesn't know any other shoes.
I noticed this in "Holy Terror" too. Frankie-poo just has an inexplicable fetish for the bottoms of sneakers.
@@VincentMariethe4th No, it's Frank's racism poking out. You see, showing the bottom of your feet is offensive in the Muslim religion. That's why we see Natalie Stack's soles of her feet.
I hope one day that someone can re make this film and be more accurate to will Eisners legendary work of art
" You know what would be a great idea? Putting a Black man and a Jewish woman in Nazi uniforms"- Frank Miller, apparently.
That actually makes Frank Miller look racist for a moment....
Brilliant strategy!!!!
You magnificent bastard, I’ve read your book!!!!!!
Because Frank Miller is a racist, but would more support a underdog than somebody on the top
Well apparently Frank wanted the Spirit to be Deadpool considering he keeps talking to the audience and wants to romance the reaper
I think it's meant to be ironic. I doubt Miller has any love for Nazis or Nazism, but he probably sees the camp value of Nazi paraphernalia, just as Mel Brooks did in The Producers.
This is one of my favorite reviews ever! Even though The Spirit is a terrible, terrible movie, I see it as so bad it's hilarious. I just can't help but smile every time I think about it because of how stupid it is.
The Shady Reviewer I loved it as a kid because I assumed it was SUPPOSE to be a joke....
I later learned it wasn't
Ha! An "of course!" meme? Ah, that takes me back.
This is not only one of the worst superhero movies ever made, but one of the worst movies ever made, period. Movies generally don't make me feel physically uncomfortable, but this one does.
I do wonder how they persuaded a bank to loan them the money as it's doesn't flow and the dialog grates.
This and Holmes and Watson hold the record for most audience walk outs
Now when I think about it, Frank Miller as a director reminds me of Tommy Wiseau and Derek Savage. Someone who thinks they are great but is not. But at least Wiesau had the sense to start marketing The Room as a comedy.
+MsDjessa Well, Franky did this with most of his comics. Marketing them as either parodies or satire. And his fans eat it up (because if it's satire, it's really bad satire).
Not really. Wiseau released The Room as part of Oscar season.
At least Franky's Daredevil is good.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 And his Dracula, and his Blade, and his Elekra, and his Carrie Kelly.
Note that other than Daredevil, he created the comic versions of all of these characters. Maybe he should stick with characters he created (other than The Fixer).
This was a fun crossover
The Spirit is my favorite super hero, Eisner was my favorite comic book/graphic novel creator... No words to how bad this movie hurts me, and how I how it probably ruined the small chance of Spirit ever getting another movie...
We are sorry!
Seems like Frank Miller mixed Will Eisner with Kurt Eisner. No offence to him, that is the first Eisner I could think about.
This is one of your best crossovers. This film is a disgrace though. When Frank Miller's character getting killed and Eva Mendes' ass are more interesting than the story, the film has failed.
Wouldn't the blood of Heracles not heal someone? I get the idea of a demigod's blood empowering people, but due to the circumstances of Heracles' death, I would think his blood would be poison rather than heal. He died when his wife put the blood of a centaur Heracles killed using Hydra tipped arrows (making the centaur's blood full of Hydra poison) on a cloak, which began burning his skin. Hell, that's even assuming there would be blood from that, since he had his friends burn him on a pyre, which burned away his mortal half and made him ascend to Mt. Olympus.
Hey are you still around? Would you be interested in a Spirit Fanfic?
Yeah wouldnt make more sense for it to be the blood of Perseus since he is a rare case of a greek hero who died of old age and wasnt killed
@@Lord.Mind_Flayer also another thing how did the blood still stayed it's more than 1000 years old the only way it can work is the Jurassic park explanation and we all know the stupidity
Also it's more than 1000 years old I doubt you can get blood that is 1000 years old especially in Greece considering that is a very populated country
Only seeing the gloves wouldn't have worked in a film, yes. But, adaptationally, you solve that by casting multiple actors, one for every scene. Not even with a unified ethnicity. One scene he's Daniel Dae Kim. Next he's Samuel L. Jackson. Following scene he's John Cusack. Then he's Gary Farmer. You see more than gloves, but the impression of "no one knows what he actually looks like" is maintained.
Holy crap, this honestly reminds me of the anime version of Rosario+Vampire, where instead of fully adapting the source amterial...they turn it into a "subtle parody" of itself by making the characters either wackier or trying so hard to follow the status quo played for "laughs".
Actually in the original comic strips (not the comic books) it is explained that the gas from The Cobra, that Denny was exposed to that put him in suspended animation changed him to the point where he essentially had a healing ability.
That is stupid on many levels
That "Miller Time" gag at the beginning was hilarious with the whole music playing in the background
Few things to say:
1.) Is Sand trying to be like Audrey Hepburn's character from "Breakfast at Tiffany's"? (The beehive hairstyle with a tiara, fascination with black gloves with diamond bracelets, it's all in plain sight)
2.) About Silken Floss' (God what a stupid name) fake eyelashes, Disgust from "Inside Out" called, she wants them back!
3.) Poor Muffin!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
4.) I think the reason why Spirit's sidekick, Ebony White is not in the movie, because I think the movie's original plot had the idea of Octopus (in this film) IS Ebony turned evil.
6:23 - 6:34 Of course, Linkara! Don't you know anything about science?
Oh. Now I get why the Nostalgia Critic said this narration sounds like it should be coming from the Tick.
The constant grays are a chore on the eyes, but the cell shading (or whatever it is) on the spirit when he’s silhouetted is cool looking
That cat scene, god. I never like seeing anything to do with cats being mistreated in any way at all. That is something I can never watch.
Same here... Poor kitty...
They way i remember it, Spirit was pissed about it too.
He said something like: to Octopus after he did it.
WJZAV There's even a scene where he's punching octopus and is like.
"This is for Sam!"
*wham!*
"And this is for MUFFIN!"
*Wham!*
Now I'm off to hug my cat.
@Tucker Johnson Um, thanks?????
@Tucker Johnson Nope, just turning something negative into something positive. Have a nice day.
A practicaly immortal protagonist, crazy stuff happening that make little sense and a lot of sexy women? Did he tried to write a Deadpool movie??
Raximus3000 imagine if Frank Miller of all people wrote the Deadpool movie it would be very different movie
The Spirit has nothing to do with Deadpool. It existed since the 40's and Frank Miller always aped the old noir stories.
@CaptainMarvell92 Returns
r/wooosh
Oh goody another reason to hate this piece of crap try and make it more like bane of my existence
What I want to know is if Frank Miller was friends with Brad Bird? I kinda doubt it but if he did, or if he had any decency left, he would've pick him to do an animated film instead because he did a 'Spirit' pencil test in the early 80's.
If SLJ is casted as the joker in the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t be surprised.
That guy playing the Spirit had potential. Maybe he'd work well playing as a lawyer.
😂😂😂😂😂
23:32 Poor, poor, Stana Katic...Don't worry, "Castle" is still on the horizon.
+Amie Fortman Not anymore, this weekend marks the final episode, no season 9. :(
tpbloomfield Which sucks in more ways than I can describe--I love that show. :(
+Amie Fortman Nathan Fillion is a god among men.
I guess she was having some time off from Castle when by accident, she wandered onto the set and Miller just pulled her into this mess.
The whole blood of heracles part could've made so much more sense if they'd just said something like "the formula doesn't prevent aging and i'll eventually die of that" but nope frank miller's too......whatever he is to ever think of that.
but yeah i think i'll take 4chan's /co/lton as an adaptation of the spirit over this tripe any day.
Also the number of time passed more than 1000 years and it probably has hydra poison so agonising eternity with that
“Oh come on! Toilets are always funny!”
And Da Fuq Boom took that to heart and made the damn Skibbidi Toilets.
14:32 Holy shit. Not only is Miller making a mockery of this material, but he's stealing lines from HIS OWN UNRELATED WORK to do it. "It was a great job; you shouldn't have signed it" is the big ending line of issue #1 of Daredevil: Born Again.
Also, WHY is this movie in the Sin City aesthetic? There's no reason for it to be. And seeing The Spirit in inky black instead of his trademark blue hurts.
Because this was clearly supposed to be a movie about The Question. When Frank couldn't get the rights to that character, he had a choice, make a new character, or cash in on the name recognition of a famous character. He chose the latter.
@@geoffreysorkin5774Imagine if DC let Frank use the Renée Montoya Question.

"Why I'd death a woman" because the DC endless Death is one.
+Robert Pysh And she's awesome. God forbid Frank Miller ever get his hands on her.
Death is a woman in the marvel universe as well.
Jake Bryant She's also very cool, and in love with Deadpool to boot. :)
+Amie Fortman i think the question now is "why do so many writers personify death as a women"
Brodie Crain I think it's part of the image of Death as a mother we all must one day return home to
I occasionally wondered if I would ever see/hear the news the Frank Miller has been defiling public buildings and national monuments.....
"Why is Death a woman?" I mean... why not? It's the personification of an abstract concept, there's no reason it couldn't or shouldn't be depicted as male, female or anything else. Plus I _know_ Linkara knows about Death of the Endless and Marvel Comics' Death so that line seems especially weird coming from him.
Hey are you still around? Would you be interested in a Spirit Fanfic?
No you see the problem is Heracles blood cause if that's the case the greek pantheon would be real there and the greek death Thanatos is not a woman
I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people watching this movie. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this movie for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we put it in the VCR and started watching. By the end of the week he watched it 24 times. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just sitting there blankly staring. So i decided to make a netflix account and get this movie to see if I could maybe watch alongside him. I loaded in the movie and it started playing. This movie has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This movie reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.
I think it's funny the actress playing young Sans was a way better actress than Eva.
I like Eva Mendes, however no one did a good job in this film. What do you expect with terrible material like this?
It’s actually the woman who would later voice Asami in Legend of Korra
What? There’s an official Undertale dub or something?
Seychelle Gabriel?
@@indy6s she would also play as princess Yue in M. Knight Shamalan's The Last Airbender which was an even worse movie than The Spirit.

Aww. So young. Both of you.

Repetitive dialogue, inconsistent plot, over-sexualization, cultural ignorance.
Frank Miller in a nutshell.
Glad I found this again after subbing to your TH-cam (via the last Hagan crossover)! The link on atopthefourthwall.com is broken (presumably because the episode needed to be reuploaded at some point, thus the URL changed).
There are three movies that I had to turn off in my life, first one was thin red line, second one was sucker punch, and finally this one. I managed to watch through battle field earth.
I am a maaaaan! [Punches Film Brain]
Don't try to get through 'Actium Maximus' then if you can't survive 'Sucker Punch.'
Blubberella broke me so its the only one
Only three? You’ve clearly never seen Van Hellsing
You turned off Red Line? Well that’s a first.
Death as a woman? I doubt Miller ever read George MacDonald's 1968 AT THE BACK OF THE NORTH WIND, but he might be familiar with Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman".
Love the Doctor Who opening parody
I love bad movies but The Spirit was just lazy and pretentious. Frightfully amateurish CGI was the icing on the cake.
Its almost like Miller thought he was making another Sin City movie, right down to the narration...
+Niall Hagan No fun? NO FUN? I mean this is the most ridicilous movie ive ever seen!
+Niall Hagan the film is terrible but all the weird choises they made makes the movie ununtencionaly funny. Like the Room and Ghost Rider 2 this movie is entertaining becoase its so bad.
That is until 2014 when he made a sequel to Sin City called A Dame to Kill, but I doubt anybody remembers it.
@@nicoyazawa6837 I have the 3D bluray

Ten years of the spirit review
No mention of the "dry swimming" scenes? That was my biggest WTF moments in a film that I bought for a pound and quickly dumped it off in a charity shop.
Ever notice that the titular Spirit never does anything in the movie?
Apart from getting laid, he mostly gets his ass kicked, pratfalls into obstacles, gets captured through contrivance, and dies near the end.
The only time he actually does something significant was near the end of the climax, where the cops did all the work.

I think even Eggman would tell Octopus to lay off the references to eggs.
Little did Linkara know, this was all a fucking prelude to what he’d see in All Star Batman and Robin
Not to mention (To a lesser extent) Superman: Year One.
13:16 - Okay, I know that Frank Miller was trying to be tongue-in-cheek when he wrote this mess, but lifting jokes from Father Ted? Seriously?
"Frank, why is death a Woman?"
...Linkara, you've read *how many Marvel comics?*
Even in Norse mythology
Actually the problem is Heracles blood cause in that case the greek pantheon is real but there death aka Thanatos is a man
If you have read The Spirit, you know that there are: no protracted fights with the Octopus, no clones, no 'blood of Heracles' no constant proclamations of beauty, no monologues about 'the city', no Nazi or Samurai costumes, and NO F@"*ING EGGS!
I think that Miller was JEALOUS of Eisner. After all, there is no Miller award, but there is an Eisner Award.
I think that Miller set out to ruin Eisner's creation (just as Kennedy set out to ruin Lucas').
I wish that someone would make a Spirit movie based on Eisner's work.

I'd take Mr. Freeze puns over Octopus Puns.
At least people could understand Mr. Freeze puns
And at least Mr freeze feels funny and enjoyable
This absolutely gave me a Mandela effect moment with an extremely similar looking series called the shadow.
It's actually quite sad to see how Frank Miller went from a talented comic book artist and writer to some complete nutcase who just plain weird and creepy at the same time.
Hell, he was a co-director of the first film adaptation of Sin City and that was actually a good comic book to film adaptation.
They called on the day of his memorial? They’re not even trying to fake some respect.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows that Sam Jackson is the best thing about the movie
Sorry, but not even Mr. "I've Had It With These Motherf***ing Snakes On This Motherf***ing Plane" could save this drivel.
+Ian Brennan yeah I know but it's still hilarious

I love how this review's opening incorporated the 11th Doctor's opening title sequence.
10:20 I wouldn't. At least Arnie's puns in Batman and Robyn made sense.
What's the song during the end credits of this video? Shazam has no result.
"Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" by Christina Aguilera. It's a cover of a an old '30s song. Aguilera's version was made specifically for this movie's soundtrack.
@@Zomdra appreciated.
