7:23 Fun fact: Freddie Mercury was Zoroastrian. In 2020 that's a bit of trivia not everyone knows, but I feel like a movie made in 1997 would have had a few Queen fans in the studio who would have remembered hearing about his Zoroastrian funeral on the news

@@videodromeTVversion Listen...I don't want this to sound impolite but those are some weird reasons not to watch such a terrible show.

And in what country do they not have 'all that racism'? Their treatment of history is about the least accurate of all time as well. Basically, if it happened more than a hundred years ago, Xena did it. That's it. Also, I don't know if this helps at all but Lucy Lawless is from New Zealand. I don't recommend the show, though.

Fun fact, Wishmaster 3 was filmed in my city and my film teacher worked as a stunt person on it. He had a lot of good behind the scenes stories about it, including the really, really horrible car crash the film begins with because it was so bad and he knew it but the script has it and the director couldn't deviate from the script so car crash on a straight flat highway where you can see miles ahead of you it was.
You started off wrong there Scardey Matt. Wishmaster is definitely one of the best movies you've ever seen because it's one of the best movies ever made so unless you're from some weird alternate dimension or you used a wish to see better films then it's one of the best films you've seen.
He was originally from some weird alternate dimension, but used a wish to see better films which resulted in him seeing Wishmaster (which doesn't explain his mistake in the intro). The cost of the wish is that his work on his other channel is often interrupted by a certain eyeball-related eldritch being.
This is one of my favorite lost horror gems. The second one is definitely significantly worse as a horror movie, but it’s MUCH funnier because they’re clearly taking themselves way less seriously. Please, PLEASE include the clip with the lawyer when you cover it. It’s so bad. 😂
The gem's forging gives me strong Lord of the Rings vibes Even the fonts they used in the text are almost exactly like the ones LOTR would use years later
I remember finding Divoff totally captivating in this movie, and being a little chagrined that I was having nearly the same reaction as the thirsty sales lady.
I remember watching this out of nowhere, possibly guided by TV Tropes, and being so surprised at how much I enjoyed it that I ended up thinking it was a genuinely good movie. It probably isn't? But I loved the heck out of it.
Oh man I had forgotten this franchise entirely. I also was too drunk in my twenties while watching these with my housemate, but that box dropping on Ted Raimi brought it all back!
you convinced me to watch this before continuing with the video and despite skipping most parts where the wish granting Cell wasn't on screen I loved this movie purely because of that guy's performance by gods. Amazing.
Depends on how you frame it. Time spent vs time left. If you give their body more time, you're increasing the amount of time they have existed, making them older.
I hear that in a later movie he grants a wish for "a safe place to hide where I won't be found" by just stuffing someone into a small hole with most of them still sticking out of it, quite clearly able to be found. So, I think it's "I get to do murders, screw you" logic at the best of times.
Oh my god!! Wishmaster was my favourite horror franchise when I was in high school / early university. Watched each one of them multiple times. Andrew Divoff is a freaking legend - he was fantastic on Lost (which I loved, even if I hated the ending), but here are some more fun facts - he was also in an in an incredibly schlocky Yuzna movie called Faust: Love of the Damned, which, I can never decide whether it's so bad it's good or so bad it's still bad. He was in the Highlander TV series, which I only mention because I'm very invested in the Highlander franchise. He was in one of the Command and Conquer Red Alert games. He got bored of just acting for a while and became a lumberjack, but then decided to just clean forests of trees with pine beetle infestations. He speaks nine languages, and regrets that he's lost his grasp on the tenth he used to know. He's a big time environmentalist and gives a lot of his money to environmentalist causes, food banks, and medical charities. This guy is amazing, and as bad as they end up getting, I love the Wishmaster movies. I also greatly appreciate the Day of the Dead shout-out. Joseph Pilato was brilliant in that film. Anyway I've prattled on long enough, I just really love your content and I'm very hyped that you love this thing I used to spend so much time with, and that we'll get to go through each title. (Speaking of 4, that's also ... like this weird ... Beauty and the Beast thing, right? That's not just me? Because he knows he needs to get her to legitimately love him for what he is. 4 is a STRANGE FILM.)
Random story: when I was like 10 or so I was walking my dog past this random video rental place and they just put out their trash and in it was a box of movie promo posters. Most were tings I found boring at that age like romcoms and dramas but mixed in the bunch was one for Wishmaster. Being a baby horror nerd at that time I hung that bad boy up on my wall and stalked the tv guide listing, I was obsessed. When I finally saw the movie I loved every second of it.
So glad you gave Knightriders a shoutout. I saw that for the first time about a month ago and I'm honestly shocked it doesn't get talked about more, it's truly original and a pure joy to watch.
*Nervously adjusts glasses* Forgive me, Lord Slime, but actually, it seems it is very much possible to forge a gem this way. We do it with Sapphire, for example. It's just a matter of reaching the right temperatures and having apropriately pure resources. What's that? Oh no, I'll just see myself out. Can you hear that? Oh god, I can hear them whispering, calling to me, speaking horrible truths... The eyeballs... I can see them now... Thanks for introducing me to your channel and giving me an apreciation of horror as an art. Keep it up!
oh my gooooddd I love these movies so much!! Sometimes i jsut have to binge the whole series all over again. They are just so much fun! IM so happy to see some Wishmaster love!
I had totally forgotten Raimi was in Candyman until I rewatched it last week, was really struggling to accept Joxer the Mighty as leather-clad boyfriend dude.
I love how he's different in this movie aside from all the other horror characters played from other horror main actors. I would love to see Dinn, Freddy, Candyman, demon from demon knight and the crypt keeper have a conversation and try to kill each other.
I realize this particular video is literally years old, but I just want to say MAN I wish we were friends in college because I've always wanted friends to watch my stupid movies with. I LOVE Wishmaster, Ghoulies, Critters and pretty much every other video you've covered - I share your passion for wet puppet media. I tried to do a b-movie horror night for a while but my friends just don't have the interest. Their loss, more cheesball 80s nonsense for me to rewatch over and over.
I remember catching Wishmaster when I was a teenager in the 2000's. We had all the premium channels, Cinemax, HBO and Showtime and a lot of the time, they would run horror movies late at night. So, if I couldn't sleep, I would turn on one of them and I would watch all the horror movies they were running back-to-back. Caught a lot of good gems that way, including Wishmaster. Love to see someone gushing about it the way that I have done multiple times in the past. 2:54 "Kids, ask your parents what a phonebook is". Mother of Frejya, that makes me feel old! I remember that my father, the abusive asshole that he was, used to threaten to beat me with a phonebook because "they don't leave marks", he would claim, so I wouldn't have bruises and he couldn't go to jail for child abuse. Horrible old bastard!
I consider Wishmaster horror comedy. You could also say it is its own genre. The best part about the Djinn is how he grants wishes. The wishing person has to be extremely specific. Results of vague wishes is funny as it is terrifying. A lesson to be learned from this corny but legendary flick. One of the best.
He is a better dream demon than he is a theological archaeologist. Actually, I mean, he's a rich old dude who's a collector, it's totally in character for that to be the case. FREDDY COLLECTOR: Ah, Angra Mainyu! Perhaps the most interesting lost, dead, forgotten god in my collection of statues! GUY WHO JUST INSTALLED THE STATUE: My cousin's a Zoroastrian. FREDDY COLLECTOR: If only there was a single living soul who could speak of his dead religion! STATUE GUY: I could, like, show you the temple. FREDDY COLLECTOR: Alas, there are not.
thank you for making this, i totally watched this as my first horror movie when i was like 6 and totally suppressed it lmao. Totally have to go watch it again
I'm so excited to see a video about wishmaster. I thought I was the only one that likes this. I was watching thought slime and this came up in my recommendeds. I was so excited I just had to feed babadook and rumbletum with some algorithmic sustenance. Thank you scaredy Matt I appreciate you doing the full series.
I know this comment is a year late, but I gotta give props here for the call out to I Think You Should Leave! I was so happy when I saw they did a season 2 of it on Netflix, that show does not get enough credit for how outrageously hilarious it is!!
Actually, Pazuzu is a Mesopotamian deity. The statue of him you see in The Exorcist (and in this movie) are faithful replicas of real-life representations of him.
Hey Mildred. Im back to watch the Wishmaster series with you for probably the fourth time. I know you're not religious, but I want to thank you for the shout out to Zoroastrianism and being generally really nice and respectful to minority religions.
This is actually one of the most underrated movie franchises ever because there is a lot of potential to make some really scary shit. It is considerably more flexible than anything like Friday the 13th, hollween. Etc. I look forward to see more movies on this franchise. It is kind of like similar to a nightmare on elm street level of potential, it would be good to have him vs Freddy Kruger actually.
Someone probably already mentioned it but... pretty sure that’s a statue of Pazuzu in Freddy’s trophy room there. And I’m 98% sure she’s checking out it’s package.

Divoff's Djinn is basically Emperor Palpatine with the hamminess dialled up to 11.
Divoff really should act in a STAR WARS property, he has the voice and physicality for it, and the man can do his own stunts.
More like the Palpatine of the Slasher films
Wish is saying something, given how hammy Palpatine is
@@iggykidd Especially in episode 9.
When first watching the movie I had to look up the actor to confirm he wasn't Palpatine

I'm so excited to see a video about wishmaster. I thought I was the only one that likes this. I was watching thought slime and this came up in my recommendeds. I was so excited I just had to feed babadook and rumbletum with some algorithmic sustenance. Thank you scaredy Matt I appreciate you doing the full series.
I know this comment is a year late, but I gotta give props here for the call out to I Think You Should Leave! I was so happy when I saw they did a season 2 of it on Netflix, that show does not get enough credit for how outrageously hilarious it is!!
7:48 that statue is from The Exorcist!
Oh, shit. I missed that. Praise Pazuzu!
Actually, Pazuzu is a Mesopotamian deity. The statue of him you see in The Exorcist (and in this movie) are faithful replicas of real-life representations of him.
One of the funniest reviews I've ever watched!
Hey Mildred. Im back to watch the Wishmaster series with you for probably the fourth time. I know you're not religious, but I want to thank you for the shout out to Zoroastrianism and being generally really nice and respectful to minority religions.
hey the statue of the exorcist
I cant believe that you forgot Pazuzu when listing off horror stars in this film
This is actually one of the most underrated movie franchises ever because there is a lot of potential to make some really scary shit. It is considerably more flexible than anything like Friday the 13th, hollween. Etc. I look forward to see more movies on this franchise. It is kind of like similar to a nightmare on elm street level of potential, it would be good to have him vs Freddy Kruger actually.
phone books are what they used to use before we had cellphone audio books
Someone probably already mentioned it but... pretty sure that’s a statue of Pazuzu in Freddy’s trophy room there. And I’m 98% sure she’s checking out it’s package.
I wasn't going to subscribe, but then you reviewed wishmaster and now I am obligated to.
Well played Matt, well played...
Seems to me that the best wish would be something like “cease to exist”
There's a Zoroastrian temple a couple blocks down the road from me.
I mean, if you try to get Emperor Palpatine to grant your wishes, you kind of know what's coming...
