I read this on Samuel L. Jackson's IMDB: "Like Christopher Walken, he makes films for the pleasure he gets out of acting, regardless of how the film turns out."
Say what you will about this movie, but you just have to love any performance in which you can tell an actor is having fun. And that's why we all love Samuel L. Jackson lol
Samuel L Jackson!! He'll get you drunk !! He'll have you fucking fat bitches in no time!! You'll might even wanna fight a nigga or 2!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I think he also once stated that he says yes to any role because at one point in his career he was always getting rejected and so whenever he was offered a role he would just immediately say yes to it lol.
@@CLDJ227 yep. It's also therapeutic. Sam Jax fought back from a big drug addiction very early in his career, constantly working helped with sobriety
Mr. Jackson is one of the BEST actors.... PERIOD even if some of his film choices are questionable. 👀
Yeah the quality of the Spirit notwithstanding it's cleaR everyone involved had a blast making it.
Brad Bird could have done The Spirit justice. He tried making an animated movie of it back in the 80s, but nobody would green light it even though the script was praised. The closest we will ever see is the pencil test trailer online
it looked so amazing!
Disney should green light it and turn it into a 3d animated version
That pencil test trailer was amazing! I would have definitely watched that movie.
Unfortunately, I think the only thing on screen the spirit will ever be successful in, is as a reference in the Iron Giant.
Given the trajectory of animation now and the success of movies like Into the Spiderverse and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, I think a stylish 2.5D animated Spirit movie that is animated and colored to look like the original comic, and directed by Brad Bird would be amazing.
Between this, All Star Batman and Robin, and Dark Knight stikes again, Frank Miller in the 2000s was a whole MENACE!!!😂😂😂😂
Don't forget Holy Terror. Dear God, that was bad.
He still made Lobo cool
God that Batman comic was horrendous. I felt so bad for the Robin being partnered up with psycho Batman.
Also don't forget Robocop 3.
I just imagine on the set of Iron Man 2, Sam Jackson and ScarJo were probably chatting,
SLJ: “Well at least it’s better than the last comic book adaptation we were in together. And we’re not dressed up as Nazis.”
ScarJo: “Yep! You got that right, and I’m Jewish.”
I just imagine Scarlett and Gabriel Macht(Spirit actor,who's also jewish) watching that big hitler portrait going like WTF.
Or better yet she just says “WE NEVER SPEAK OF THAT AGAIN”
Big Frank Miller fan. At his peak - he was one of the best comic book writer/artists. But then 9/11 happened, and Frank was never quite the same.
Frank's mental state and career fell faster than the Twin Towers
Common issue with Millers, it seems. Same thing happened to Dennis. He went from being the self styled erudite intellectual snark vendor, to just crudely vomiting reactionary talking points. His material just stopped being clever, like his brain had become this blunt tool. Same thing happened with Frank. He became a real hack, and has severely damaged his reputation as one of the shining talents of the 80s and 90s. Because the work he's been putting in for decades now has just been trash.
Very true, and it really colors his comics when you see him express his bias/prejudices in comic form.
9/11 happend, the country which government attacked its own people and blamed it on the terrorists, all so they could start wars in oil bearing countys whitout people complaining.. the facts are there, maybe the actuall event was done by tree middle eastian men but it was planned and sat in motion by a few people in the top off power whitin usa. Just see the documentary farenheit 9/11 by michel moore. There is a ton off evidence and to overlook that is just plain stupidity.
9/11 and sin city because basically everything he writes now is just like sin city
I love when billy start laughing 😂
When Billy starts laughing, THEN the party gets started
I agree with both of these comments. 😂 Whenever, I see him on the thumbnail or hear his laugh. In the intro, ik I'm going to love the video.
The same laugh is at 19:05
Billy laughing gets me rolling every time.
I think he off edibles cuz he be rollin lmao
Someone needs to make Spawn creator Todd McFarlane watch The Spirit so he can realize THIS is what happens when you direct a comic book movie with zero directing experience. (McFarlane is insisting on directing the Spawn reboot himself)
James Gunn should direct.
This film really screwed up the source material.
For one thing, the Spirit never had any powers in the comics, he was just a regular guy. The Octopus was the biggest departure from the comics, in the comics he was a mysterious crime boss who you never see his face.
The comics were very experimental for the time, as Eisner really got creative with his writing and artwork and while Ebony White's design is problematic, the character was always treated with respect by the other characters with the Spirit treating Ebony more like an unofficial ward/work partner, with the two sharing a home life in their Wildwood Cemetery headquarters and he develops beyond his comic-relief minstrel stereotype as the series progresses. Eisner later introduced other non-caricature African-American characters, such as the no-nonsense Detective Grey, who defied the media stereotypes of the day.
I recommend watch the 1987 TV movie, which had 80s Flash Gordon Sam J. Jones as the Spirit.
I think the reason why I didn't hate this movie so much was because Sam was so entertaining. 😂

As a black comic book snob I loved the brief discussion on Ebony White. Korey’s right in how they depicted black women vs black men with him
Billy is the heart and soul of Double Toasted! His laugh is my spirit animal at 0:06🤣🤣💀💀💀
He’s everyone’s spirit animal
@@user-dr2yz8um3d He sure is. I love Double Toasted. They crack me up. I would love to on their show one day soon. I’m a huge fan of their reviews.🤓😊👊🏾🔥
0:09
Martin is dressed extra sharp today.
Look like he shed a few pounds
I love how the trailer for this tries to make it look like a hardcore noir crime drama, but they still show Octopus using a giant wrench to hit Spirit in the cajones XD
I expected that from watching the trailer itself
I still remember Carlyle's words from the original Spill review: "Korey, it's Aaaaaaassssss-Tastic!!"
“Th-they pulled a man’s nuts off! That’s not right man!”
Lol did no one tell him that the dude getting disem-balled was a predator?
Well, I'm not against a child molester getting train ran on them in prison.. I wouldn't want to witness it though :P
Seen wasn't that bad though. That critic was soft.
i knew from Billy's laugh in the opening that this would be good
I don't think I've ever heard Billy laugh this hard. That was a dying of laughter kind of laugh. Had me worried for a sec
24:57 I’ll tell you why…Afro Samurai.
It seems like with this movie, Frank Miller didn't receive any type of legitimate feedback on this movie's concept and tone while making it. A lot of these mistakes seemed easily correctable and avoidable.
2008 was the year where Samuel L. Jackson first played Nick Fury and a cartoony, over-the-top villain named the Octopus.
Melting the kitten is the same thing Judge Doom did to that cartoon baby shoe.
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 was on Christmas break from my Freshman year in college when this movie came out. My high school friends back home wanted to meet up at the cinema and all watch a movie together, for old time's sake. Despite my objections, they all agreed on watching this one so I got dragged into it...
Now, almost 20 years later, I still want my money back... 😅
Not to mention, I got new friends 🤣🤣🤣
Funny thing is, I actually drew Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck as the Spirit and the Octopus respectively, and both are fighting each other with a bat and a sink. 😁😂🤣
You really did? @Sora Wisteria
@@domlee8032 Yeah! I sketched out in my sketchbook just for fun. 😀😁
Always a pleasure to see Sam Jackson having fun
So happy y’all got around to do this treasure. Wrote my film thesis on this travesty.
This is a massive guilty pleasure of mine. Strictly because I think it looks gorgeous! It has wannabe tough guy dialogue, wannabe noir format, and insanely over the top performances. But I do love it for the visual style!
I was literally going to to recommend this movie for a bad movie roast, thank you for reading my mind!
Literally
Amazing this channel hits familiar movies from way back
Even the same ones from the old show where we know Korey and Martin from
I remember going to see this on Christmas in '08. There were 10 of us in the theatre when it started, then only 3 of us left in there by the mid point of the movie 😂
Sounds about right. I left with my dad about 25 minutes in the movie. I was 11 😂 and was like “nah I’m good”
This was 1 of the only 3 movies I have ever walked out of the theater over
Lol that's more than I had. I also saw this Christmas night and there were only two people in the theater... me and the person playing the movie in the control box 😂
@@megagearsx8432 😂😂
@@adrianpale2342 Shoutout to you for having the good sense. I was too stuck on how much money I paid for the ticket 😂
Frank Miller's Fury and Black Widow is a different take. Oh-h-boy-. Don't know if I'd be ready for his Avengers direction.
Martin with that outfit looks like he's forgotten member of Run-DMC.
At first I thought that this movie is kinda dull, and then come the Sam L Jackson samurai scene, that crack me up 😂
Billy's laugh is the reason i watch 😂
Skimming through and seen Billy laughing and it was an automatic yes!!
I’m glad Martin brought Frank Miller’s infamous anti-Muslim comic. It’s called Holy Terror and it’s at best tasteless.
My dad and me saw this opening day and I shit you not we were the only two in there. So the best part of the experience is how we got to snark our way through the entire thing. Biggest issue with this movie can be summed up simply: PG-13 FRANK MILLER!
.
I believe that story that Korey told about the critic reacting to Sin City cuz I remember that was a thing back when it came out. A lot of Critics were doing the whole "How dare they release a movie like this so close to the Abu Ghraib Torture Photos".
> Abu Ghraib Torture Photos
Wow. A dated world event nobody remembers.
My god look at the drip on Cat Daddy Martin.
Also Gabriel Macht got that Suits money he's doing just fine 😂
This sucker Punch in nightmare on elm Street got the same review for me and my brother "it was a movie and I watched it"
There’s a “The Spirit” made for TV movie, from the late 80’s. It was intended as a pilot and stars Flash Gordon in the title role. Here’s the thing. Even though it never went to series, it is still easily 10x better than this AAA misstep. Not entirely sure, but I think it can be seen on TH-cam. Is definitely worth the watch.
@Talebird K - Sam Jones, the dude who played Flash Gordon in the 80’s flick. But, no one knows the name, until you mention he played Flash Gordon.
This was so weird, I went into this expecting more Sin City and it was just so bizarre
This was like when Stephen King directed
This is the only movie I ever walked out of the theatre for, me and my whole family 😂😂
8:58 Central City?!! The Flash says- stay off his turf! Or you're going to get drive by. No cars or guns will be used. Just Barry and his speedster family running on foot- whipping out tic-tacs!!
I found out Frank Miller actually co-directed Sin City 2. Guess after that he was done lol😂
And let's be honest, his co-directing job on both those movies probably consisted of him sitting in a chair and nodding to Robert Rodriguez: "Yep, looks good." Martin says in the unedited SPIRIT review that Miller used to get drunk on the set and hit on actresses all the time, and I damn well believe him.
33:35 I couldn't stop laughing during this part😂 and I love cats 😂😂😂
I feel like Sam was taking the multiple brains of a octopus attributes. And running them as different personalities instead.
This movie makes Batman and Robin look like Citizen Kane.
I’d love to see your reaction to Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow.
Speed Racer would also be interesting.
I bet Scarlett Johansson F this movie performance came when she had to wear an SS uniform.
(Scarlett is both Polish and Jewish descent)
The first thing I said to my dad after we got out of this dogshit, after a long and angry 5 minute silence: "Well, at least it's good to see the dad from Wonder Years still working?"
Martin is looking real clean in that hoodie with the matching hat
This was sad, because Frank Miller adored Eisner and the spirit and sadly had no clue what he was doing when he made the movie. I lost my original yt account when I uploaded 3 clips that were shown at comicon and commented on how absurd they looked. Studio copyright struck me.
That part at 24:57 is the last part of this movie that I remember seeing when I watched it. I never finished it. And Gabriel Macht was also on the show "Suits" as Harvey Spector. So he at least got to do something better than this.
The Spirit was not that Bad😂 This is one of my favorite movies because of Samuel L Jackson
Well that kind of itself is the problem the titular character did not make it good. Kind of reminds me how everybody loved black panther but not because of Chadwick boseman but Michael b Jordan
@@axx012 I dont think anybody saw it as an issue when people liked The Dark Knight for the Joker
@@bigbearkat2010 Fair point
Someone like David Fincher could probably make a great Spirit film.
This might be my favorite fit of Martin’s, stay toasted cat daddy!
This movie had so much potential, the premise and characters are so interesting but there not executed that good. Brad Bird would have done the character justice his pencil test trailer looks better than the actual movie. Please check out you'll see
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie when I went to see The Dark Knight
While this movie was bad, it sure was entertaining, because of Samuel L Jackson and Scarlett Johansson. It was like a low rent Sin City.
TERRANCE OUT
Even though it wasn't on purpose this movie reminded me of the old school superhero shows I grew up watching. Auto Man, Manimal, The Phoenix and a list of others. They are 1 or 2 steps from being really good, but they just miss somethings, this movie was missing direction. It had so much potential however in the end it was entertaining mostly for the wrong reasons but enough that I bought the dvd and still pop it in every once in a while, just to laugh.
Not Billy dying in the intro ☠️☠️☠️☠️
This gonna be good
The Spirit. A movie that gives strong hints to what state of sober you have to be to go in watching. Also-. Not to be confused with the animated horse film. For the love of your children, do not mix this up.
How do you mix up Spirited and The Spirit? That's obvious logic
@@ninjanibba4259 😅And this is not factoring in Spirited Away or Final Fantasy Spirits. All are better options than Final Fantasy Spirit by the way.
Yo martin the drip. GOD DAMN
This and Kung-Fu Hustle are the best live-action Looney Tunes' movies ever made.
Kung Fu Hustle is a decent movie - it does have character development.
I can see how Americans might find the comedy stupid - but if you're familiar with star/director Stephen Chow, it's brilliant.
He created a genre called "mou lei tou" cinema, which translates to empty headed comedy. It's meant to be silly.
@@weilim10 But...
Comparisons to Looney Tunes aren't derogatory, it's just meant to provide a basis for how zany the action can get, 2022's The Bad Guys got similar comparisons yet no one will say it's a bad movie...
And even then, the whole scene where the landlady chases the protagonist is a straight-up homage to the Coyote and Roadrunner's chases with the landlady crashing into a billboard and slowly sliding down!
@@michaelriverside1139 my bad. In the Twitch chat a few people were asking the crew to roast Kung Fu Hustle.
KFH is good but it is not my favorite Chow comedy - that would be Shaolin Soccer.
Bad Movies and Billy are why I subscribed to this channel!
Frank Miller directing a movie based off of an old 40s comic with casual racism makes sense when you learn about his work Holy Terror. Dear god that book sucked.
Oh boy a Frank Miller the guy that made All star batman and Robin and it was cancelled by 2008. There’s no body gonna be saying “I’m the God damn batman” in this movie are they?
I wish the old pulp heroes like Dick Tracy, The Spirit, and The Phantom would get adapted by a Pixar-standard studio
They're too busy with sequels.
It’s funny cause when this was in theaters..my grandparents movie hopped into this one. Not because they wanted to watch..because there was only 1 person in the auditorium and knew they could get away with it💀
This is just a theory, but if Robert Rodriguez was involved with the directing, it might have been better. Frank Miller, on his own, was not a great idea
He was Literally Yosemite Sam, hat coat and guns 😂... wait Yosemite Sam Jackson 😮
This movie seems to be the definition of style over substance. The look and feel of it is nice, but what characters want, who they are, and how this world works is not made clear or made interesting. Oh well 🤷🏾♂ at least Sam Jackson looks like he's having a lot of fun.
Having fun & get paid for playing the role of a fictional character.😂
This is one of those movies that actually makes me angry.
You guys should review surviving the game starting ice tea Gary busey
I saw this in my subs and said “oh no!” Lord I remember this movie and Frank Miller’s corny ass writing. I hope The Spirit can be done right one day. 😭 Cuz I know Frank said him and Eisner were friends but friends don’t do this shit to each other.
The spirit is one of the few movies I've ever walked out of... and I was just a dumb kid at the time
The best part was when Eva Mendes printed out those copies of her peach.
Brad Bird would made a better movie like he planned
As a black man I'm so conflicted on The Spirit. It's not relevant for this post but I feel bad for wanting this film to fail and send the character back to obscurity. We middle aged black people have a word for that. Trifling. I was being trifling. Now I wish it had succeeded if nothing else then for the careers involved.
I don't know why you're bringing up you're ethnicity
@@ninjanibba4259 Because while reading the comic book the depiction of Ebony White extremely problematic. This isn't usually a problem no matter how racist the era because black people were invisible in popular literature and films. Out of sight out of mind but that's not the case with Spirt it front and center
Forget Deadpool, this is the funniest superhero movie of all time. Wade Wilson never made me laugh as much as the Octopus did lol
Martin looked good today. Beard on point!
43:47 but then, how good are Johansson & Mendes, _really,_ if they weren’t able to “act around/beyond” Frank Miller’s shit (or non-existent) direction🤔 You can’t even excuse it by saying Sam Jackson has so much more experience since Paulson is closer to Johansson’s & Mendes’ age groups and performed so much better (according to the DT guys here). Same for Gabriel Macht; evidence of being more of a pretty face than a capable actor🤷🏾♀️
FWIW: the pencil screen test is actually pretty interesting and its voice actors are 100x better than these well-known Hollywood types
That detective would have made an excellent Dan Turpin in that day
Did they re-review Last of Us episode 9, I just wanna hear Martin and Billy's thoughts on the finale and if Joel was right hehe. Glad they are back on twitch
I still remember the Spill review with Carlyle.
As bad as this film is, it definitely looks cool. When Sin City took the world by storm, even Mobb Deep did a video with that style.
I was at that panel too and it laid an egg. People groaned.
Confession time I was obsessed with this film when it came out the style alone had me hooked I would quote it constantly I bought the figures he’ll I even dressed up on Halloween as the Spirit complete with homemade face mask made out of cardboard and a sharpie (I’ve grown since then lol)
Me too this one of my guilty pleasures
Wow
It’s okay. I was a fan of Simple Plan and Linkin Park. I used to watch Bleach AMVs on 2007 TH-cam to their songs. Now I just laugh thinking what a dumb edgy teen I was.
@@jamiekamihachi3135 The AMV’s with the Drowning Pool,Disturbed,Metallica, or Tenacious D in the background yeah I been there as well
I feel like you guys would enjoy the 90’s film The Rocketeer, this was when Disney was doing non Marvel comic adaptation. It flopped at the box office but deserves at much bigger cult following
That movie was funny intentionally and unintentionally I loved it 😂😂😂
Best memory of this movie? 5 cans of Bud did not get me and my brother through this. Korey! It’s ASSTASTIC!!! Speaking of Miller, Look up Robocop 2 😂
Billy got a top 5 all time laugh
Billy's laugh is my spirit animal LOL!
When I went to see this, everyone in the theater at one point just unanimously agreed this movie was a POS and openly started talking shit to the movie screen as a running commentary.
Can't wait to see you again in my borough, Brooklyn. Got my ticket.
I remember how pissed off people were with The Spirit teaser trailer using the theme song from The Untouchables movie. He also used the line from Dick Tracy
“I’m on my way”.
People were groaning, how much of a rip-off it sounded like .
I love this movie because of how goofy it is. I like the 1987 version with Sam Jones. Without this movie, I wouldn't know who The Spirit is.
BILLY’S LAUGHTER RETURNS! 😅
Gabreil Macht would be a dope Batman.
I don't remember anything about this movie besides Samuel L. Jackson being very flamboyant. I don't remember one scene of the movie though.
