One thing I've learned in 21 years of film making and 221 films is today people like to rip apart all forms of art. I've learned that no matter the budget of films, not everyone will be happy. There are artists trying to make entertainment with the resources they have. This was done back in 2003 when digital was trying to take off. The story is a story that hadn't been seen before (crossing elves into modern day time frame) other than Christmas Elves. It was my first feature film. Yes there's problems in it (like any other film), but you do the best you can. Indie films are different than high budgeted films, but I've found stories that can outdo any high budget film. Sometimes audiences need to just enjoy the story for what the artist is trying to tell instead of jumping on the bandwagon of being a troll. You'd be surprised what I fixed from this film (knowing what was wrong at the time) and remade it into what some are saying is a master piece. People loved making films with Wolf Productions (some stayed over 10 years worth). When you all have passions and stories to tell, it can be a great time. So, like I tell all critics and trolls being you know how to make a perfect film, how many films have you done from zero budget to millions of dollars? Like everyone we are all learning and we'd like to study the masters to better our own craft. Where is the links to your work? Finally, one thing I learned from experience... if you have questions to something and don't know the answers...ask the source you're doing the piece on it, so people don't get the wrong idea when your answers are wrong. (Side note) there was no lavs used in the car scene with the FBI, so in the background that isn't a lav. The chess board was a background prop for the Father/Daughter to play. The extra scene where Agent Hardman gets killed actually took place during the month that Lythorin was gone. When Lythorin found out his wife was still alive, he decided to break it off with Amber to rescue her (hence Unexpected Race 2). The father mentions in the future time, "You were always there..." How can one time mean always? Means they had further adventures together for a time, which you'd find out more in Unexpected Race 2-3. If you are going to spoil a whole film, next time say spoilers.
The important thing to know about his 221 films is by "films" he includes not just his feature-length films but also music videos, trailers for movies he's never made, and so on. So he's made several feature-length films and a lot of shorter things.
Great to see you in the comments here, man! Hope you don't mind if I write a long comment here. Firstly, 221 films?! God damn, I know GBorBB said you had done a lot of them, but that's incredible! If Unexpected Race was your first feature film, then I would honestly say that a lot of the things in the movie make way more sense. As for Bryan and Kyle's on work, its worth noting that they have a series called Broken Dreams where they rip apart just how terrible their own previous film projects were. One of the reasons I like this channel is that they're self aware. Honestly, when it comes to indie films, I've always been of the opinion that as long as everyone had a good time making the film and you made what you wanted to, then I'd call the whole experience and product worth it. You definitely don't come across as the Neil Breen or Tommy Wiseau type, which is good. Just a guy who likes making films and works with what he's got and I think that's great. Also, thank you for clearing up the post credits scene and when it takes place. I actually did go watch the movie after this review and to be fair to Bryan and Kyle, it was a little confusing. However, it now makes much more sense why the elf left Amber. No idea if GBorBB will do any more of your movies, but they certainly made me go look at some of your trailers and I find myself genuinely looking forward to more from ya.
I agree with you and vsGoliath about how the fun that goes into making a film is as much justification for doing it as the artistic aspect is, and I do believe that you've improved a lot as a filmmaker since creating The Unexpected Race, but I have to say that the 'you couldn't do better' argument is really disappointing to see from you. It's a cheap way of disregarding valid points without actually refuting them, and it makes the person saying it look petty and condescending. Same thing goes for viewing critics and trolls in the same light; if someone really can't tell the difference between a person offering valid critiques and someone who is just trying to piss them off, (or if they can tell the difference and choose to ignore it) that's a problem. You'd think someone who's been making films for 21 years would be a bit better at taking criticism and not feel the need to make up excuses for themselves. A simple "this film was made 16 years ago and doesn't represent my current ability" would have been an infinitely better and more respectable response. Saying nothing at all would have been even better. Also I know this is a minor point, but when a discussion about a film is longer than the film itself, spoilers are kind of implied.
Critics are one thing, but to take down every scene and either make fun of it or to trash it is another. Also, it's not excuses when mine are valid answers to explaining what people don't know about the film. For example the whole piece on the makeup. I agree it was to much, but there was an issue on the day of filming. As we were setting up the scene I let the makeup artists do their craft and they put to much on her. I wasn't happy with it, but because of having a short window to shoot the film we couldn't take down half the makeup. When the shot dissolves to her and theres less makeup, that wasn't the next day. Time had passed enough for some of the injuries to heal being she was in ICU. However, being I knew this was an issue, it was fixed in the remake to the makeup I wanted to see. (Does this refute the issue? Or explaining it make it seem like an excuse?) As for criticism... what is the difference between criticism and making fun? Just curious if there is a difference. My definition for a professional critic is one to balance the pros to cons and take sections out of the film in a non judgemental manner (ei: siskel and ebert). I always respected their voice. This doesn't show those guideline but an attempt to break down each scene and poke fun at it. Am I not right?Also, the minor part about being spoilers... Like many films now a days, they are trying to keep a lid on how much of their movies are being released to the public. The remake of this will in time be released. If they break down every scene and show every secret in the film, what is the point to see the remake with Jack Black? As the director of my film am I not entitled to be a little upset? Final note, thanks for your words and apologies if answers I have given were looked at as petty and condescending.

every time i see a comment on this video with one reply, i know without fail it's the director trying to defend this movie before even clicking on it to check.
I was cheerful seeing that there was a comment response from the movie's creator. Always before it's been a telling of how they got to have a good laugh at themselves and the humor of the review, preceded and/or followed by appreciation. I finished the first half of the first sentence and then, "Oh dear..." A labor of love is a labor of love. Why should criticism, especially lighthearted criticism, demolish that? Yeh, that was a disappointing read, but creator input is always appreciated nonetheless, an opinion evidently shared by Bryan and Kyle with their pinning the comment.
_English girl's voice-over narration_ "When I was in hospital, someone asked me if I needed anyone to talk to. It was in a different voice from her usual voice, but she did ask me."
Actually the voice over was the same actress done on a different day. The background noise really ruined a lot in that scene being a fish tank was on and we couldn't get rid of it. The ADR wasn't the best but then again, we do the best with what we had back in 2003. Production quality does go up as the years follow.
I have now added Grooblade the Fedslayer to the D&D campaign I'm DMing. An ancient elven shortsword found in some ruins deep in the forest, guarded by the ghost of the elves killed by the feds.
@@utahwolfproductions Oh holy cow, the man himself appears! Don't worry, I did the blade justice and placed it pretty far into the campaign as a pretty impressive weapon. I mean, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to actually do with the thing, but it'll be fun to have!
@@dub5936 Okay, I've got it! Since Bryan made a reference to Sting, I classified Grooblade as a Shortsword +3 with 5th Edition D&D rules. Since my campaign can't really fit in FBI agents, I gave it 1d8 extra damage to demons. Closest I could get. I've set it's location deep inside a ruined elven city destroyed by said demons. Seemed appropriate.
wait, if the film is 1 hour and 12 minutes , and this video is 1 hour and 13 minutes, then it's like I saw the movie without actually watching it. thank you for your service.
I had a friend in High School who was from England. She was in the states for only 3-4 year at that point and she had a weird hybrid accent. In the State, everyone said she had a British accent, and when she went back to England, everyone said she had an American accent. I can only describe it this way: she sounded American at the start of every word but she would sound British at the end of the words she spoke.
What couldn't be added to the film being we were trying to get to the main part in the story was. Being the actress was from England and had the accent, she couldn't lose it for the film. We had to add that she went to( boarding) school most her life growing up and picked up the accent. The mother was from England herself, but again couldn't give to much back story on the parents being we wanted to get to the reason the girl had to stay with the father and find the elf.
i knew a guy that was scottish origin, spent his teens in australia and now lives in the southern united states; it's a very strange hodgepodge of brogue, bruce and y'all.
Wait a sec... I'M IN LONDON! AND I barely have a first family, let alone a second one, sooo... If Kyle's still looking, I'm here? Can't cook, can't clean, don't have a career, a car, or an apartment, but if Kyle's looking for a below-average mid-20s female, I'm available!
@14:06...”She needs bruising. We have to do bruising!” “Uh, we didn’t budget for the Make-up person to do this...” “Oh...Well...I have this beet smoothie that we could just smear on her face.” “PERFECT!!!”
From 1987 to 2003, "The Great Land of Small" was the number one movie in Canada. A force of nature really. It's on TH-cam, and it's the greatest thing "America's hat" has ever produced
@@utahwolfproductions wow, dude. Hoping you've calmed down in the past 4 years because holy elves. Try to enjoy the extra publicity such channels bring to your channel and productions
With days and months of studying, learning with science experiments and potion brewing. I have come to a conclusion that my Second Officially Official Recommendation short movie is called Swamp Ape. Full movie is on TH-cam. So it should be an easy one to review! 👌
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I've been enjoying your videos so much. Your laughs are contagious and I get caught on it too, it's like being with you there. Keep it up!
Can someone explain this quote: "I've done everything I can for your father, but he should be fine". Huh? Maybe if you'd done less, he would have stood a better chance???
1:04:17 It reminds me all too well of that "Pay me 'X' and I will stand far aside the burial with all black clothing and a black umbrella to make it seem as though you had some dark secret" meme.
Some of my family friends of mine recently got divorced because they found out the dad had a girlfriend & several children in another state. He had a sales job that required a lot of traveling & he told both women he was traveling for work when he went to see the other...had been going on for well over a decade. So it at least happened once in real life.
It's been 5 years and I just noticed she says "Why am I falling in love with something i read in a book when I was 2 years old?" Who is READING at age TWO?
So in that scene where they chase all the elves so thats the entire race? So either all either rgey would all die out anyways or they would all be inbred eventually. Because the entire race is the size of a family reunion
@@utahwolfproductions is your next film gonna be about how Indians savagely killed innocent white families and stole from them and set everything they’d worked on for years on fire?
Totally got the Smash TV reference. It was my best friend's favorite game and he practiced it all the time on the Super NES when it came out. Then he want to the arcade and had a crowd watching him as he got so far on just one quarter.
Elves in Tolkien live forever, unless they're killed or get fed up with life (after - that's literally said in The Silmarilion) roughly a million years. Even if geologically that's a very short time, it's a fucking LONG time to be alive, anyway.
If Kyle would like a second family in Korea we would be happy to welcome him over here. He seems like a super nice guy. My uncle is looking to marry off his daughter, so if Kyle wants a wife in the deal, I think it can be arranged.
my friend from mississippi came to visit her family for the summer one year and all we did was hang out and i got a small southern accent from it. not forever obviously but i had one for a month or two, it just felt natural at that point to speak like that.
THE ELIMINATORS(1986) A former pilot rebels against his creator, teaming up with the scientist responsible for android technology, her pet robot Spot, a rough-and-tumble riverboat guide, and a martial arts warrior.
I’ve been a huge fan of Stephen’s for almost a decade having grown up in Utah. My favorite feature length film of his is “Challenge of Faith” and my favorite short is “Guilt” (which is on Amazon Prime). “The Insufferable Groo” is also a must watch. There’s an interview somewhere on TH-cam of Stephen and the makers of the documentary with Utah public radio host Doug Fabrizio that’s a great follow up to the doc.
Was watching this again, and after you mentioned there are two sequels, I wondered why you never covered them watching this again 5 or so years later. But then I see at the time the creator commented and he didn't seem to like your video. So I guess you never covered the The Unexpected Race 2 and 3 because of that? Though you did cover another 2 of his short films, so I have no idea.
Maybe I missed something but if the main elf guy (I don’t know how to spell his name) can “give part of his life force” so people live longer, why didn’t he do that for Amber if most of the “conflict” was that humans don’t live as long as elves? Lol.
In regards to the lifespans of of elves in Tolkien, to the best of my knowledge, they're completely immortal. Age cannot touch them. Galadriel is easy over 10,000 years old and she's far from the oldest living elf, merely the oldest in Middle Earth. As for the explanation for how Arwen becomes mortal? Fuck man, I don't know! Haven't read the books in years.
Am I the only one who thought that the flashback in the hospital was meant to illustrate that what's-her-name wasn't too happy about the idea of having to live with her father because he had a bit of a temper, or something like that?
Why the hell didn't the Elf give the girl some of his life force as well? He could have given her enough so they would live around the same amount of time.
Because his struggle of crossing over to take in a human was an issue (being they killed his race) and his vow he made with his wife Lylerine. Also, being he found out his wife was still alive, no need for Amber right?
Lol, director claiming in his cringe comment " some are saying is a master piece.". I would love to know who thinks this is a master piece, lol. His mom or some shit?
"My soul would no longer beat." ...the fuck? EDIT: Good news! With exercise, a good diet and a daily regimen of 20 mg of Lipitor your soul will be right as rain a few weeks after your immediate medical complaint.
I saw the documentary and learned to not like him as a person. I understand the passion but to put your family through hell for your own selfish reasons that just goes way too far for me
My aunt was living with a guy, who had work in the city every other week for 7 days (so basically he stays home 7 days, then works 7 days in the city away from my aunt). He had a wife and two kids under another name back there! My aunt just wanted to visit him in the town and there he was playing with his kids who were calling him another name. So she ditched him but later received letters from his wife asking her to join their family. Happened in USSR in the 70's when you only had letters to communicate (phone lines in our region were not installed until like 1980) doubt it would work nowadays.
I would adopt Kyle. I'm good at cooking and baking, me and my brother play videogames all the time. I'm sure you'd like it in Finland. Safe and cool, it's like living in a fridge.
I'd love to see you guys review Prayer of the Rollerboys (because it should definitely be the 2nd Corey Haim movie Bryan sees, and I'd love to revisit it, without having to actually watch it.) Day of the Rope!
If you're interested in seeing more about Stephen Groo, there's a documentary about him featuring Jack Black, Jared Hess, and Jon Heder: th-cam.com/video/9kwwSwbwltI/w-d-xo.html It's available on iTunes and Amazon :)

I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I've been enjoying your videos so much. Your laughs are contagious and I get caught on it too, it's like being with you there. Keep it up!
"Why is there a chessboard on the kitchen counter" Thats a great phrase for a t-shirt!
Because people own chess boards and like to play the game.
@@utahwolfproductions lol dude,chill out😂
@@utahwolfproductions Why would anyone care if there is a checker board?
I just watched the Insufferable Groo doco, amazing. Highly recommend
Frank Welker 😊😅😂.
"You've always been there for us. And you're here... now..." (getting Neil Breen vibes!!!)
The real race was me to this video after getting the notification
If Kyle wants to have a second family in Finland, I'm on board 😘
Me at the end scene of this movie:
"well, someone saw, Vampire hunter D: Blood lust".
GBorBB right on time for my birthday. And with a good stinker to boot? You guys are so awesome.
1:00:34 - amazing "magic knife" there, being able to hit a man 45-degrees off the throwing trajectory.
Can someone explain this quote: "I've done everything I can for your father, but he should be fine". Huh? Maybe if you'd done less, he would have stood a better chance???
The elf used his life force to heal the father or he would have died. Nothing more. This was said to save it for the unveiling at the end.
You guys should be a million subscriber channel. I can’t believe you aren’t yet. You will be though soon though I know it!
1:04:17
It reminds me all too well of that "Pay me 'X' and I will stand far aside the burial with all black clothing and a black umbrella to make it seem as though you had some dark secret" meme.
Some of my family friends of mine recently got divorced because they found out the dad had a girlfriend & several children in another state. He had a sales job that required a lot of traveling & he told both women he was traveling for work when he went to see the other...had been going on for well over a decade. So it at least happened once in real life.
Not gonna lie, sometimes I come back and rewatch this review solely for that fucking piper elf. xD
Piper elf needs to become a new cutaway gag for their later episodes.
Kyle , you’re welcomed in the family . We’re loud Puerto Ricans, so hopefully you can hang with us .🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 and we’ll teach you Spanish .
Is that a threat?
Subscribed for Grooblade the Fedslayer, you magnificent bastards
It's been 5 years and I just noticed she says "Why am I falling in love with something i read in a book when I was 2 years old?"
Who is READING at age TWO?
Chiwetel Ejiofor 😊.
I haven't been resting and I won't until you watch The Covenant, or until you say you won't do it. You can't hide behind your silence for long, goofs!
David Spade as an elf. Interesting
So in that scene where they chase all the elves so thats the entire race? So either all either rgey would all die out anyways or they would all be inbred eventually. Because the entire race is the size of a family reunion
I swear you guys seem to know when I have a shitty day and release a new GBBB video to cheer me up
C’mon Derek. Can’t believe you would let your parents down and decide to become a vampire. I’m disappointed.
He was forced into it if you saw the film.
Grizzly Adams? Elves? I wonder if there's a connection between them and the Nazis.
Not to this film. Originally the thought idea was Native Americans being genocide by white men with a fantasy twist.
@@utahwolfproductions So, that mean that they had hybrids? Cool! (I'm white but I have Algonquian, too)
@TheSouloftheDragon
I understood that reference!
@@utahwolfproductions is your next film gonna be about how Indians savagely killed innocent white families and stole from them and set everything they’d worked on for years on fire?
Well Kyle has 20 new families now, I guess
41:10 Podma and Anakin? POD - MA?
Lithurian cosplaying as "Bob" from Batman
Lythorin is how it's spelled fyi.
@@utahwolfproductions Oh thank you
Totally got the Smash TV reference. It was my best friend's favorite game and he practiced it all the time on the Super NES when it came out. Then he want to the arcade and had a crowd watching him as he got so far on just one quarter.
25:00 minutes is Bryan's version of Kyle's brain freeze moment. Glorious, love your work guys.
Hi Kyle, it's me, your brother from Germany!
I will be Kyle's second family. He can claim me as a brother from another mother.
the Star Wars clip is very minion-esque
Good thing Minions stole it from Star Wars.
Elves in Tolkien live forever, unless they're killed or get fed up with life (after - that's literally said in The Silmarilion) roughly a million years. Even if geologically that's a very short time, it's a fucking LONG time to be alive, anyway.
When you first started, I was thinking it was a (poor) play on "An Unexpected Journey".
I still don't comprehend why he called it that...
If Kyle would like a second family in Korea we would be happy to welcome him over here. He seems like a super nice guy. My uncle is looking to marry off his daughter, so if Kyle wants a wife in the deal, I think it can be arranged.
my friend from mississippi came to visit her family for the summer one year and all we did was hang out and i got a small southern accent from it. not forever obviously but i had one for a month or two, it just felt natural at that point to speak like that.
I love Mississippi.
If I stumbled across two people making out and one had eleven ears, I'd pull up a patio chair and some popcorn.
Watching the character arc.
29:26. "Welcome to Olive Garden. Can I get you started with a lead cocktail?"
All those gun shots and not one muzzle flash
THE ELIMINATORS(1986)
A former pilot rebels against his creator, teaming up with the scientist responsible for android technology, her pet robot Spot, a rough-and-tumble riverboat guide, and a martial arts warrior.
I apply to be Kyle's elderly father who needs a son to send him money on a monthly basis. It's tough living in Brazil without an American son to help!
"The Matrix and elves do NOT mix together". i feel like that phrase belongs on a t-shirt.
Good concept of paper, but poorly executed. Much like Netflix's Bright. 😁
It worked for the shadowrun games!
1:04:32 is that a Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust reference? There's an exactly similar scene in that movie :D
Never seen Vampire Hunter when I wrote the 3 New Breed films that were remastered into one.
48:40 Kyle genuinely really needed to know the answer there.
WHY WAS THERE A CHESS BOARD RIGHT THERE?!
Has it been 2 weeks already? Hot dayum!! Friday just got better!
I’ve been a huge fan of Stephen’s for almost a decade having grown up in Utah. My favorite feature length film of his is “Challenge of Faith” and my favorite short is “Guilt” (which is on Amazon Prime). “The Insufferable Groo” is also a must watch. There’s an interview somewhere on TH-cam of Stephen and the makers of the documentary with Utah public radio host Doug Fabrizio that’s a great follow up to the doc.
Was watching this again, and after you mentioned there are two sequels, I wondered why you never covered them watching this again 5 or so years later. But then I see at the time the creator commented and he didn't seem to like your video. So I guess you never covered the The Unexpected Race 2 and 3 because of that? Though you did cover another 2 of his short films, so I have no idea.
Expect the unexpected! ... race...
Maybe I missed something but if the main elf guy (I don’t know how to spell his name) can “give part of his life force” so people live longer, why didn’t he do that for Amber if most of the “conflict” was that humans don’t live as long as elves? Lol.
Because lazy writing lol. What I wanna know is how did he get Jack Black?? Did Jack fall off or something?
18:49 I wonder if that folding chair is a family heirloom?
It wasn't.
In regards to the lifespans of of elves in Tolkien, to the best of my knowledge, they're completely immortal. Age cannot touch them. Galadriel is easy over 10,000 years old and she's far from the oldest living elf, merely the oldest in Middle Earth. As for the explanation for how Arwen becomes mortal? Fuck man, I don't know! Haven't read the books in years.
I can see the Dan Harmon resemblance, but I think the guy looks more like Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec.
I thought he looked like Greg Stout. That's who played it.
Seems more like a Len Kabazinski than a Neil Breen.
This is like literally my favorite movie
6:45 What about Will Ferrell Elves?
Am I the only one who thought that the flashback in the hospital was meant to illustrate that what's-her-name wasn't too happy about the idea of having to live with her father because he had a bit of a temper, or something like that?
Swede here, volunteering to marry Kyle. We basically look the same too, it's destiny.
Holy… Going through these comments and seeing….. a certain someone… replying to all these comments and the tone of those replies. Wow. 😂
Ron Perlman 😊.
Kyle, I'll be your weird cousin from Russia anytime
Let your cat in the door. I hear them meowing :^)
50:54 is frigging hilarious and adorable. Kyle bringing dem stats
"FBI Briefing" is the new "Location Map"
Why the hell didn't the Elf give the girl some of his life force as well? He could have given her enough so they would live around the same amount of time.
Because his struggle of crossing over to take in a human was an issue (being they killed his race) and his vow he made with his wife Lylerine. Also, being he found out his wife was still alive, no need for Amber right?
"The Matrix and elves don't go together"
I see someone's never played Shadowrun :D
Lol, director claiming in his cringe comment " some are saying is a master piece.". I would love to know who thinks this is a master piece, lol. His mom or some shit?
Wait.....yall get notifications? Weird?! 😂
Legal weed in Canada and your show go hand in hand 🤚
"My soul would no longer beat."
...the fuck?
EDIT: Good news! With exercise, a good diet and a daily regimen of 20 mg of Lipitor your soul will be right as rain a few weeks after your immediate medical complaint.
Will another state work Im open to be a part of a second family
When will y'all discuss the sequels? I wish to know!
Smash TV reference? I LOVE IT!
I saw the documentary and learned to not like him as a person. I understand the passion but to put your family through hell for your own selfish reasons that just goes way too far for me
did kyle said great or grape make up?14:05
My aunt was living with a guy, who had work in the city every other week for 7 days (so basically he stays home 7 days, then works 7 days in the city away from my aunt). He had a wife and two kids under another name back there! My aunt just wanted to visit him in the town and there he was playing with his kids who were calling him another name. So she ditched him but later received letters from his wife asking her to join their family. Happened in USSR in the 70's when you only had letters to communicate (phone lines in our region were not installed until like 1980) doubt it would work nowadays.
That’s so sad. Did she join? I wouldn’t have.
I would adopt Kyle. I'm good at cooking and baking, me and my brother play videogames all the time. I'm sure you'd like it in Finland. Safe and cool, it's like living in a fridge.
Oh that sounds wonderful. Except the video games part.
I'd love to see you guys review Prayer of the Rollerboys (because it should definitely be the 2nd Corey Haim movie Bryan sees, and I'd love to revisit it, without having to actually watch it.) Day of the Rope!
Love you guys, this movie is hilarious 😂😂😭
It's funny how a film was made to be a drama and people turn it into a comedy.
@@utahwolfproductionsWatch The Room
Kyle, what is your movie called?
If you're interested in seeing more about Stephen Groo, there's a documentary about him featuring Jack Black, Jared Hess, and Jon Heder:

It's available on iTunes and Amazon :)
You will suffer through it. Many stars throughout it. It is a real eye opener.
