He's magical. Even his name sounds like something a from a gritty 80s or 90s B movie character would be named. Like an over the top gritty police detective who's names everyone either whispers in fear or screams in terror, like "oh God, it's DETECTIVE IRONSIDES! [cue Michael Ironsides punching his fist clean through a criminals torso]"
0:53 I've been highlighted! While my pick didn't get selected, Visiting Hours (1982) made for a pretty entertaining episode! I'm actually a little surprised it didn't get reviewed sooner! As for William Shatner playing a serial killer... I'm surprised the Cinema Snob didn't bring up his role in Impulse (1974). It was one of the earliest Cinema Snob episode all the way back in 2007!
I suppose it would be nice if Shatner was the killer, but imagine if he and Ironside switched roles, pretty much everyone who saw the movie would wonder why this minor character was so much more terrifying than the actual killer.
This was rather tame for a Video Nasty. According to Wikipedia, it wasn't released uncut in the UK till 2017. The poster/VHS cover was certainly memorable.
Michael Ironside is a great actor he can usually project menacing yet also project authority he can portray either evil villains or a tough military figure you need to salute in authority. Recently I saw him in the film Nobody even if it is a supporting role he still does it with class.
Ah sweet, really liked this sort of TV horror. A cameo from William Shatner and Michael Ironside with a face that you know means he's gonna be the bad guy.. 😂
Good to know this may be what my grandfather would’ve been like if he became a serial killer. The killer’s backstory nearly fits with my grandfather’s childhood to a tee. Its so weird but yet makes sense as my grandfather did have many undiagnosed mental health disorders, bipolar and sociopathy are most suspected. Also I would like to have seen Shatner is a killer role versus his good guy or cocky a-hole-ish roles.
I had a chance last week to watch a bunch of movies in theaters starring Michael Ironside WITH Michael Ironside, including Scanners and Total Recall. But of course I got the flu and never got the chance to meet him. FML...
I would love a “Fade to Black” vid. That movie is a good love letter to cinema fans and the villain (an excellent performance from Dennis Christopher) is quite tragic
I was a kid when this came out. Being Canadian, this movie was everywhere. Great cast-Ironside is a badass. Love this flick-saw it when I was a kid and it scared the shit out of me.
Oh, nice! I picked this to watch years ago at random from a list of Video Nasties, and ended up really liking it. Also didn't know Shatner was in the movie until I watched it. That was a surprise.
Im glad i could make a contribution to the review. Me and my wifes wedding photo brings back memories of a simpler and more innocent time. See 1:42 for reference.
OMG thanks for the GH and Emergency commercials! I loved this when I saw it in the movies specifically because I just loved Ironside and his hamminess. He was blowing up at that time after Scanners - he was in a bunch of movies and of course, V. He was just a treasure to watch. LOL (Linda Purl was actually becoming pretty big at that time too). Thank you so much for doing this hilarious video, Snob! I would have a hard time choosing on the poll, but not for #1 Visiting Hours - my trouble choosing was from 2-7 choices. hehe Holy Shatner!
Ironside wasn't trying to kill her, he was just going to interrogate her about North Korean mass kernels...Lambert tells him to save the "5th freedom" for terrorists
Lee Grant took the role for the money so she could build a stone fence around her house and property thus increasing their value should she and her partner ever decided to sell it. In fact she confessed to taking any and all offers for the money, not because “it was an interesting part”.
1st watch was at the drive in. People don't understand that Michael Ironside was this nightmare creature that could show up in your dreams, poke out your eyes and eat your soul if you were a kid from '82-'84...
I am 54 nowadays and got to See this movie for Free in theaters thanks to a projectionist freind then , After rewatching This movie nowadays right after I got out of A real Hospital A 14 Day stay After A Heart attack , A triple bypass A New heart Valve put in and Diabetes 1 on march 4th 2021 to sum it up for me , I noticed this time how lack the security was in the hospital plus people can just wander around on dark floors of the place too? And anyone can do the laundry ? If Not Almost all Of The Hallways are all seemingly empty too ?
Interesting cast! When I first saw this... I recognized the lead actress was Michael Scott's girlfriend (Pam's mom!) from THE OFFICE. It's got a weird vibe!
Man I remember watching this movie I was so disappointed it was awful. I was shocking to find out this was a cult classic. I feel like focusing on the killer is very risky. I compared this a lot to Maniac but this is a lot worse.
0:46- I was also hoping that movie would win the poll, because you stated in your 1982 in Film episode that it was behind Inchon of worst film of the year. 12:25- Either that or his character in Prom Night 2. 16:36- Yeah, the theatrical cut of Highlander 2 is really batshit stupid. 22:33- I'm just hoping that the 1960 movie you review doesn't make you wanna cheat on your wife.
I shall write a screenplay for a movie where Michael Ironside's character gets psychiatric help, and becomes an action star, while still having to deal with the consequences of his past.
I'm really surprised Lisa didn't take out Michael Ironside--she voiced Rogue on the 90s Xmen series! Hell, I'm surprised he didn't die when he touched her!
This was almost comedic: the guy kills everyone except the one person he was planning to kill. I think there's a plot for a goofy horror parody in there somewhere.
Criminally understand horror film. Different from other slasher genre films in how the victims are adults, rather than oversexed teenagers, & the killer is not some nameless, faceless force of nature.
I'd say a number of films made today suffer from Internet speak and lectures. Not just those that deal with hot bottom topics like violence against woman, they just tend to be the most highlighted, by those who are, obliviously, just as guilty of using Internet speak and lectures.
Good old Micheal Ironside he is truly a inspiration villains everywhere.
To me, he IS Darkseid.
@@louisduarte8763 'Super, or otherwise, you are merely A man. And I am A GOD.'
Truer words
More slasher movies need Michael Ironside, Michael Ironside makes everything better
He's magical. Even his name sounds like something a from a gritty 80s or 90s B movie character would be named. Like an over the top gritty police detective who's names everyone either whispers in fear or screams in terror, like "oh God, it's DETECTIVE IRONSIDES! [cue Michael Ironsides punching his fist clean through a criminals torso]"
"sexist parrot" is the funniest bit Brad has ever done.
''Visiting Hours'' is a classic. Michael Ironside was FREAKIN AWESOME!
One of Cinema's great villains

damn i didint realize hes been on here that long!
@@zackearl3200 He has been around FOREVER! He had different names over time on his channel.
Brad is awesome - I found him when Spoony featured a couple of videos on his old site.
I am surprised this movie hasn't been remade but about internet content and the reaction it gets
I suppose it would be nice if Shatner was the killer, but imagine if he and Ironside switched roles, pretty much everyone who saw the movie would wonder why this minor character was so much more terrifying than the actual killer.
Well he is the true face of Michael Myers after all 😏

3:12 I can almost see him grabbing the mic and screaming "KHAAAANDICE... stop debating and taking sides, dear!"
I’ll watch anything with Michael Ironside
I agree, but I wish I didn't watch "Spacehunter:The Adventure in the Forbidden Zone".....
x2
Gotta love how there’s a small number of Canadian actors and they always reoccur in any movie made up there.
It’s amazing to think that this came out the same year as Wrath of Kahn.
The emergency! Commercial got me lol
Even more reasons to love Ironside
Yeah, I watched this just to see Mr. Ironside.
1982 in my opinion one of the best years for 🎦
I actually thought this movie was too good for a funny review. I really enjoyed this one!
I had a chance last week to watch a bunch of movies in theaters starring Michael Ironside WITH Michael Ironside, including Scanners and Total Recall. But of course I got the flu and never got the chance to meet him. FML...
That information made me sorry for you by proxy. That would have been amazing man. I'm truly sorry you missed out on that.
Great review, I hope that some day Snob will review Flesh Gordon movie from 1974.
Glad to see you're reviewing some of the films in your 80's retrospective. Hope to see more. Fade To Black seems like a great choice.
I would love a “Fade to Black” vid. That movie is a good love letter to cinema fans and the villain (an excellent performance from Dennis Christopher) is quite tragic
Thank you for doing this movie! I remember it as a really good thriller!

Oh, nice! I picked this to watch years ago at random from a list of Video Nasties, and ended up really liking it.
Also didn't know Shatner was in the movie until I watched it. That was a surprise.
Michael Ironside is one of those actors enjoyable to watch.
The longer Cinema Snob goes on, the more his voice turns into Vic the Big Box Voice
I showed this movie to my mom, she loved it. 😅
Did 911 exist in 1982? Michael Ironside is the most underrated actor ever.
Good pick for a review. Thanks!
Brad made our day again!
13:25 Love an obscure-ish Batman ''89 reference!
Im glad i could make a contribution to the review. Me and my wifes wedding photo brings back memories of a simpler and more innocent time. See 1:42 for reference.
Love these videos from the snob, hope he keeps finding classic horror slasher
Amazing
I love when Snob covers slashers
OMG thanks for the GH and Emergency commercials! I loved this when I saw it in the movies specifically because I just loved Ironside and his hamminess.

d15:42 Well put, Brad. Just like what you and Doug said in the Black Christmas 2019 review.
5:55 That Scanners reference caught me off guard
Give us 1983 in film already. I just feel incomplete without it. Lol
Ironside wasn't trying to kill her, he was just going to interrogate her about North Korean mass kernels...Lambert tells him to save the "5th freedom" for terrorists
18:54 TFW you hear *"Sweet Jesus, Fisher! Mission's over!!"* too many times.
Lol awesomeness
Lee Grant took the role for the money so she could build a stone fence around her house and property thus increasing their value should she and her partner ever decided to sell it. In fact she confessed to taking any and all offers for the money, not because “it was an interesting part”.
Man ironside's character is almost like a game of hitman lol
Exactly. This is a better adaptation than the real live action Hitman movies.
The parrot from Ace Ventura 2😂
Looks like an Awesome movie plus it came out in 82 my birth year ☺
1st watch was at the drive in. People don't understand that Michael Ironside was this nightmare creature that could show up in your dreams, poke out your eyes and eat your soul if you were a kid from '82-'84...
Up there with the other psychotic greats...Jack Nicholson, Anthony Perkins, Anthony Hopkins, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, John Malkovich etc...
I watched so many slasher films in the 1980s. How did I miss this one???

Shatner was the serial killer in "Impulse" 1974
Visiting Hours aka Halloween 2.5
Interesting cast! When I first saw this... I recognized the lead actress was Michael Scott's girlfriend (Pam's mom!) from THE OFFICE. It's got a weird vibe!
Ironside has never ever been bad.
Fraggles in 82? This anachronism hasn't gone unnoticed...
Looks like an interesting horror thriller, especially for the poster.
Just watch ''Good Will Hunting'' and I can't stop thinking about one of Robin Williams quote because of your title. hahah
Happy Easter Brad& Laura. 🐣🐤🐰🐰🧺♥️
Was you putting the review's summary before the movie's finale a meta-joke?
It fit the movie very well 😂
5:23 They're Canadians, right? Even in life-or-death situations, they're so darn polite.
Man I remember watching this movie I was so disappointed it was awful. I was shocking to find out this was a cult classic. I feel like focusing on the killer is very risky. I compared this a lot to Maniac but this is a lot worse.
honestly, I would like to see you do a review of Shatner in the movie impulse.
This is darkest origin story of Darkside I have ever seen.
The mom from Damien: Omen II
1:02 The LORD Humongous! Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock-n-rolla!
I would LOVE to see a Cinema Snob review of the Wiz. It my favorite film.
Oh look, A movie referenced in the 'Superman 4' episode.
Wait. I’m not all the way through the review yet, but are they not gonna let Ironsides talk? 60% of the man’s intimidation factor is his voice!
My Hero 🥹🫡🇺🇸
16:06, poor guy was blinded.
You can tell it's a Canadian movie...Half the actors are from Canadian TV.
Still better than Black Christmas 2019.
Ah, the early 80s,
A time when deranged serial killers could easily make their way into a hospital.
Areas were less restrictive back then.
When I saw the thumbnail along with the title of the film, I thought this might be an adult film.
0:46- I was also hoping that movie would win the poll, because you stated in your 1982 in Film episode that it was behind Inchon of worst film of the year.
12:25- Either that or his character in Prom Night 2.
16:36- Yeah, the theatrical cut of Highlander 2 is really batshit stupid.
22:33- I'm just hoping that the 1960 movie you review doesn't make you wanna cheat on your wife.
because he loved dad...
I shall write a screenplay for a movie where Michael Ironside's character gets psychiatric help, and becomes an action star, while still having to deal with the consequences of his past.
The Shat man cometh!
You don’t have to tell me Ironside was the villain, I kind of already figured he was.
"I know"
This film is also Canadian too.. the shat and Michael Ironside are Canadian
i keep waiting for him to ask all his victims if they've ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.
You say Harvey Atkin from Super Mario Bros Super Show, I say Harvey Atkin from Meatballs
I say Harvey Atkin from _'Neighbours'._ Now that's an obscure reference.
No wonder the dcau hited Michael Ironside as darkseid
So his dad is Two-Face?
Ok sexist bird is now an on going part of the channel!
It's a reincarnated alternate universe Alex Jones.
The backstory comes off like an excuse he didn't think through... but that seems to be the case in most of these🤷🏾♀. Nice bookend👀🍿
I'm really surprised Lisa didn't take out Michael Ironside--she voiced Rogue on the 90s Xmen series! Hell, I'm surprised he didn't die when he touched her!
That dude looks like a dime store buffalo bill.
This was almost comedic: the guy kills everyone except the one person he was planning to kill. I think there's a plot for a goofy horror parody in there somewhere.
The Wiz 😢
I used to have this in clam shell vhs but it broke
"Remaquel"? Haha!
Criminally understand horror film. Different from other slasher genre films in how the victims are adults, rather than oversexed teenagers, & the killer is not some nameless, faceless force of nature.
18:54 ...Poppin' red pills; the source of his powers.
Got this movie confused with Scorsesi's After Hours from 1985 :S
Turn the volume down on the screaming parts dude. Holy shit
15:25 - 15:42 replace "slasher movies" with "YA literature" and this is me.
I'd say a number of films made today suffer from Internet speak and lectures. Not just those that deal with hot bottom topics like violence against woman, they just tend to be the most highlighted, by those who are, obliviously, just as guilty of using Internet speak and lectures.
11:52 Does Larry Fine Look Fine ?
Idk why. But Ironside looks a lot like Jack Nickelson to me. And it throws me off ever time he says ironside.
Ironside's deep voice is much better.
16:30 I hear on the Planet Zeist all drinks are rimmed with salt and it's mandatory to include a slice of lime.
