Saw this three times in the theater in the two weeks before Fox pulled the movie out of theaters. What a fascinating last gasp of 90s kid movie insanity this flick is. There's so much going on in this that Korey didn't even mention Megan Mullally as Fraser's sister, or Rose MacGowan tearing out a prison guard's throat with her teeth to help Fraser escape... yep, that happens!
Billy: Are they gonna blow up the dress? Korey looks angrily at Billy plays the scene and Billy was right. Korey: Did you watch Monkeybone?! Billy: No I watched The Seven Year Itch.
Fun fact: The film was based on a comic called "Dark Town" that Henry Selick wanted to make into a movie. (Even writing a letter to the author that "I've never felt any project was closer to my sensibilities than this one.") Selick wanted the film closer to the comic as a very faithful adaptation. It was gonna be like James and the Giant Peach where half of the movie is entirely stop motion when Stu goes into a coma, and would've matched the comic's original Cubist/Art Deco style in stop motion. Nicolas Cage was meant to play Stu, and Christopher Walken as the voice of Death. Designs, models and sets were made in 1997/1998 (and there's actually one screenshot online,) BUT those greedy executs of Fox refused and wanted to change everything into the film we know today. Producer Chris Columbus wanted a mostly live action movie and favored Brendan Fraser since he was a big hit at the moment, and renamed the movie "Monkeybone" and at one point, Ben Stiller was considered for the voice of Monkeybone but did Mystery Man instead.
@@dannyfain3961 I tied to link you it but unfortunately the comments gets taken down. But I found a video by Bobsheaux that talked about the original Dark Town graphic novel and briefly talked about the movie's development and featured this screenshot.
You know I always wonder after winning the Oscar that Brendan Fraser look back at his career and think about movies like Monkeybone and Furry Vengeance and go, “How far I’ve come...” 😂
So many actors had to go through hell in their careers in the journey for that coveted trophy. Case in point, Downey doing home for the holidays and shaggy dog (and other stuff) then scoring big with iron man until being the best supporting actor front-runner 😎

lmao yes -- same studio right?? cant remember-- laika wasnt the name of the studio yet .. i do know that sellick might have done work AT what's laika now for monkeybone---- + henry sellick of course shouting out the movie
Honestly, given the cartoons of the 90's/early 2000's I don't feel like monkeybone the cartoon doesn't feel that absurd or out of place. A lot of weird surreal shit was getting greenlit in those days.
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881Nah. Burton loves the Rankin/Bass specials. His REAL nightmare would be living in a conformist neighborhood, like in all of his films.
A fever dream and i had no idea it was based on a book or Giancarlo Esposito was here with Bob Odenkirk. Also the end with the gas is straight up Batman with the Joker balloon 😂 Same writer. Sam Hamm
I used to watch this movie alot back in the PS2 days. Back then, I would look at the old Target booklets & go straight to the movie section to see what I wanted. I vividly remember getting this film, Dude Where's My Car & some other movie. Also, that scene in the trailer where that pole falls on Stu is a deleted scene. IDK why they cut it out & made it seem like he got in a coma from having the car in reverse. In the deleted scene, when the car hits the pole, he gets out & assess the damage of it & goes to the payphone to call someone. And THEN the pole falls onto the booth, hitting Stu & giving him the coma.
This is one of the most bizarre movies ever made. I do admire it; the cast is great, the visuals are memorable and this movie did so terrible that the Director Henry Selick didn’t make another movie again for 8 years with Coraline
As a kid this movie fascinated me because it went into the mind of the artist/cartoonist and had the most creative creature design in anything at the time.
I remember the trailer for this movie while watching another movie in the theater way back when. I remember the tag line at the end of the trailer the narrator said was "Get boned"... i looked at my dad and asked "did he really just say that?" Lol
You guys should do a roast with one of the cast members of the movie y’all are roasting. I would’ve loved to hear and see Brendan’s reactions to the commentary. Edit: Chris Kattan plays a character that died from a broken neck, and a few years later he actually broke his neck during a SNL skit which damn near ended his career.
That whole starving artist who doesn’t want money trope is such a crock of shit and definitely irks the hell out of me. Man, as far as I’m concerned, anyone who buys into (or claims to buy into) that statement that “money doesn’t buy happiness” either has had money their whole life or is so financially in the shits that they need to cope by convincing themselves they don’t need money (as if having a shit ton of money won’t provide you with more free time, more control over your life, better healthcare, better mental and physical health, shelter, food, clothing, the ability to take care of your family, the ability to travel, the ability to do more fun and interesting things, the ability to buy more fun and interesting things, etc.).
Very accurate 3:37 Emo detected 😒 9:05 Wtf! 13:45 Eww 20:52 Nightmare fueled 👀 23:35 Get back here!! 😭 26:10 Lol someone angry 😂 28:55 So sick of that monkey 31:08 Look how they massacred my boy 36:10 🤦♂️ Right I'm horrified 😭 40:19 Painful 😖 46:20 Nope! 49:12 Lol 😆 59:52 Monkeybone is an odd little relic. I love Brendan but I think Chris Kattan steals the movie lmao 😂 Also Rose McGowan 😻
Yes!!! It's about damn time you guys review this movie! I don't give a fuck what anyone says, this one is absolutely one of my favorites as a kid lmfao! I know this film is bad lmao.
Speaking of Dave Foley, he was in another bad movie called It's Pat, playing Pat's love interest, Chris. So, Dave Foley is a two-time veteran on the weekly roast and toast.
Omg I love yall this my movie!!! I still randonmly sing songs from it "ALL ABOARD my lady gotta loose caboose ALL ABOARD my lady gotta loose caboose ALL ABOARD get on the Julie train" 😂😂😂 "in the afterlife you could be headed for the serious strife now you work the scene all day but tomorrow theyll be hell to pay" 🤣🤣🤣
I hate to say it, but this movie is actually a guilty pleasure. When I was teen in the early 2000’s before this came out, I drew cartoons A LOT and did whatever to get people to notice them. When they finally happened, obviously it started off nice then got a little nuts after a while. It eventually led to weird dreams where they were saying “Help us save the kingdom from the wizard!” Or what not. Of course, that’s done with and I still draw today but not as much because of other life related distractions. That being said, I heard this movie sucked but I still went because I was a huge nightmare before Christmas nerd. I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed monkeybone’s antics. The biggest problem is that the movie has a massive identity crisis and just doesn’t know what the hell it wants to be. Brendan Fraser definitely looks like he doesn’t want to be here but at the same time still tries to squeeze something interesting out of this confusing script. The visuals and stop motion stuff is easily the highlight and it sometimes succeeds with poking fun at the “something not that great getting milked for every penny” thing you see in other shows and whatnot. It’s also one of those amusing ideas on paper that unfortunately was put into a hodge-podge on screen but thank god Henry selick bounced back with coraline years later. Lastly, I got no sleep last night because of a bad wind storm and this video made my day. Thanks, double toasted! 😎💥👍🏻
Between this and “Freddy Got Fingered”, the 2000s had a thing for having depressed, mentally-disturbed animator protagonists be the central characters of their obnoxious comedy films. What was up with that?
6:35 Judging from the look on Brandon, this movie and the monkey from the live action George of the jungle movie, is the reason why Brandon Fraser did not want to work with monkeys ever again
I remember this movie when I was a young kid watching HBO at the time. That movie will always be one of my guilty pleasure movies. Plus, check out the deleted scenes by Horror Ooze, including the alternative ending where Death takes her little brother, Hypnos straight down to either hell or whatever underworld she's taking him as punishment for cheating her and having Monkeybone be a part of it. And just like Hypnos talking to Monkeybone in Stu's body... His little devil ass is hers!!!
Damn, I somewhat forgot that this movie existed and it popping up flooded my brain with memorable scenes that haunted me for days back when it came on tv. Like the nightmare where the machine keeping Fraser's character alive got unplugged and he just deflated. And I remember Medusa being a waitress in the 'underworld' or what is it. Just minor details and visuals. I didn't know the movie was received so badly.
I'll say what I've always said about Monkeybone, from the day I discovered its existence; the movie itself is utter dogshit, or rather monkeyshit in this case, but the premise is fucking awesome.
I haven’t seen this in sooo long. Is it bad I watched this a lot as a kid. I don’t think my parents knew what it was. They got it for me cause it had the monkey and they knew I loved Brendan Fraser. I watched the mummy and George of the jungle all the time too.
Pre-video watch comment-- DAMN I didnt know you guys interviewed henry, I gotta check that out. He's such an incredibly self aware guy and great to just listen talk lol, I went to a q/a once and I would've listened to him shoot shit for hours, maybe days. big fan of him all the way back since his liquid television shorts, so though I can't stand how monkey-bone turned out as a whole, there's such an extreme layer of innovation and creativity hidden inside the movie if you can get thru it lol. Some incredible and classic techniques, Henry went full Ray Harryhousen with some of those crazy live action/stopmo set ups. I cant remember if the studio was officially the 'skeleton' of laika and laika house before they swapped ownership, a lot of how the animation was shot is making me think so
I rented this at blockbuster because the previous blockbuster trip w my mom I got Corky Romano, and I loved it (I was 11). I remember not liking monkeybone because the whole time I was waiting for Chris Katan to show up lol
When people ask me what's the worst movie i have ever saw, i say Monkey Bone. I when with my daughter and all my neices and nephews. I paid for this movie for like 4 or 5 people. I'm still sad. Smh
For another bad movie review, I recommend Saving Silverman. I used to like that movie when I was younger but I rewatched it recently and it does not hold up
53:35 I think rhe connection was because they all had periods where they went off the rail in their profession. Having their minds hijacked by subconscious entities of random chaos. Was the joking explaination of their madening recorded behaviors through history. That's probably the only dots I can connect in this movie. Don't ask for more from me 😅
I haven’t heard of Monkeybone in years lol. I’ve never seen it. Brendan Fraser did this movie and George of the Jungle. I’m glad he finally won an Oscar for the Whale. Julien laughing in the background always cracks me up. Protect him at all cost.😂🤓👊🏾👊🏾
@@rommix0 Thanks man! I get comments all the time about my photo with Stan. Out of all the celebrities I’ve met and will meet, Stan has a place in my heart. I met him in 2016 in Cincinnati Ohio. It was Comic Con weekend.😊👊🏾🤍
Please do a bad review for Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) Korey Goodman and it’s has a great cast too DM,Jet Li, Anthony Anderson, Kelly Hu, Mark Dascascs and Gabrielle Union
I've never even heard of this movie until I saw the Nostalgia Critic episode. Now that I have, I can see why it's not well liked. The visuals and concept are cool, it just wasn't executed well.
I saw this movie when I was 10 ior 11 on a cruise(it was a seaday so we hadn't reached port yet)....this movie baffled TF out of me and I have a crazy malleable imagination. I just remember staring at it with my jaw so far open, it was damn near to hell for being so baffled! I did have chocolate strawberries and a Shirley Temple though so that was good🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All this because Julien mentioned it in the Poor Things review😂😂😂😂😂
WORKS FOR ME!! I honestly always wanted them to watch this one and just pry into the good and the bad
and I still can't see it
Saw this three times in the theater in the two weeks before Fox pulled the movie out of theaters. What a fascinating last gasp of 90s kid movie insanity this flick is.

I remember this and worked at movie theater when released and it was soooooo weird I never got into it

I was today years old that I realized that Henry Sellick (director of 'Coraline' and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas') also directed this
And James and the Giant Peach.
This movie was also produced by the guy who directed Mrs. Doubtfire,and The first two Home Alone and Harry Potter movies.

Ever since the Poor Things review I knew this roast would be coming
The 90s was about “counter culture” and anti-commercialism which itself became mainstream
tbf that actually makes sense. so in a way the movie aged poorly.

Hoping someday this film can get a directors cut, cause it honestly deserves way more than it got .
Henry selick is a stop motion animator, he knows life is too short to make a directors cut
@@hellsapoppin9326 Selick actually wants to make a directors cut so....
I used to watch this movie alot back in the PS2 days. Back then, I would look at the old Target booklets & go straight to the movie section to see what I wanted. I vividly remember getting this film, Dude Where's My Car & some other movie.
Also, that scene in the trailer where that pole falls on Stu is a deleted scene. IDK why they cut it out & made it seem like he got in a coma from having the car in reverse. In the deleted scene, when the car hits the pole, he gets out & assess the damage of it & goes to the payphone to call someone. And THEN the pole falls onto the booth, hitting Stu & giving him the coma.

Can't believe it took you guys this long to review this craziness. Thank you, Julian H.
As a kid this movie fascinated me because it went into the mind of the artist/cartoonist and had the most creative creature design in anything at the time.
The tagline for this movie was “get boned”. All that needs to be said.
Which is another way of saying "get f**ked"
36:00 “did that brother wrong” 😂😂😂😂
22:05-22:10 “This is where the movie says you’re on your own” 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 Basically, that’s EVERY movie these days, Corey. lmao That was perfect 🤌🏻

1:01:39 TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES!
Audience:... *SILENCE*
I can confirm this was the exact audience reaction that this joke got in the theater circa 2001.
Would be funny if this movie was a prequel to Brendan Fraser’s The Whale of how he gain all that weight because of his depression with MonkeyBone 😂
The moment when you realize Julian has been sitting off to the side the whole time 😆
I'm amazed that Billy and Martin recognized Thomas Harden Church just by voice cause I don't hear it just by that short scene. Wow!
You guys should do a roast with one of the cast members of the movie y’all are roasting. I would’ve loved to hear and see Brendan’s reactions to the commentary.
Edit:
Chris Kattan plays a character that died from a broken neck, and a few years later he actually broke his neck during a SNL skit which damn near ended his career.

I haven’t seen this in sooo long. Is it bad I watched this a lot as a kid. I don’t think my parents knew what it was. They got it for me cause it had the monkey and they knew I loved Brendan Fraser. I watched the mummy and George of the jungle all the time too.
Pre-video watch comment-- DAMN I didnt know you guys interviewed henry, I gotta check that out. He's such an incredibly self aware guy and great to just listen talk lol, I went to a q/a once and I would've listened to him shoot shit for hours, maybe days. big fan of him all the way back since his liquid television shorts, so though I can't stand how monkey-bone turned out as a whole, there's such an extreme layer of innovation and creativity hidden inside the movie if you can get thru it lol. Some incredible and classic techniques, Henry went full Ray Harryhousen with some of those crazy live action/stopmo set ups. I cant remember if the studio was officially the 'skeleton' of laika and laika house before they swapped ownership, a lot of how the animation was shot is making me think so
they have the best interviews
I’ve got a good comparison. This movie is like being trapped in a Primus music video, with zero context.
A friend took me to this movie when it opened. To this day I still don't speak to him.
This one happened live a few weeks ago, I didn’t think Korey was going to upload it
Ahh yes, the cinematic, Lynchian masterpiece that inspired poor things
Mentioning Brendan Fraser to be like Tom Green, this is literally Freddy Got Fingered if Tim Burton was the producer.
Somehow missed this one during its theatrical run, gonna have to check it out!
I rented this at blockbuster because the previous blockbuster trip w my mom I got Corky Romano, and I loved it (I was 11). I remember not liking monkeybone because the whole time I was waiting for Chris Katan to show up lol
Oooh yeah . . . First the Nostalgia Critic, now DT. Here we go 😂😂
While film brain review it before the nostalgia critic
When people ask me what's the worst movie i have ever saw, i say Monkey Bone. I when with my daughter and all my neices and nephews. I paid for this movie for like 4 or 5 people. I'm still sad. Smh
So many of these bad movie reviews are childhood favorites of mine lol
Man dies this take me back 😆 almost forgot this film exists
For another bad movie review, I recommend Saving Silverman. I used to like that movie when I was younger but I rewatched it recently and it does not hold up
It’s like that one song goes “Me and my monkey”
Ever notice whenever the main character is an animator, they show a cartoon they made, and it's always terrible? Reminds me of Freddy Got Fingered
It’s a fucking classic!!!
maaaan david foley runnin around like the greased up nakey dude from family guy
53:35 I think rhe connection was because they all had periods where they went off the rail in their profession. Having their minds hijacked by subconscious entities of random chaos. Was the joking explaination of their madening recorded behaviors through history. That's probably the only dots I can connect in this movie. Don't ask for more from me 😅
This movie is SO GODDAMN WEIRD that I kinda can’t help but love it.
Julien laughing in the background is giving me an unyielding rage i can't hold back
FYI... Bridget Fonda quit acting after marrying Danny Elfman.
You You sure it wasn’t because of this movie?
I love this movie and I’m not ashamed! I’m not ashamed!
Not gonna lie I used to LOVE this movie growing up as a kid lol. I stayed renting it from the video store.
This is one of the few movies ive seen over and over again
Huh!? People didn't like this movie? This movie was unique and entertaining...
They were def on A LOT of drugz for this one
All I need is the Double toasted Roast The Gigli Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 2003 Worst movie of all time!
Turkey time! Gooble gooble!
The film Ebert gave an average score of 2 out of 4 because Al Pacino was the only funny part.
I haven’t heard of Monkeybone in years lol. I’ve never seen it. Brendan Fraser did this movie and George of the Jungle. I’m glad he finally won an Oscar for the Whale. Julien laughing in the background always cracks me up. Protect him at all cost.😂🤓👊🏾👊🏾
Nice profile pic with Stan Lee
@@rommix0 Thanks man! I get comments all the time about my photo with Stan. Out of all the celebrities I’ve met and will meet, Stan has a place in my heart. I met him in 2016 in Cincinnati Ohio. It was Comic Con weekend.😊👊🏾🤍
Bill Waterson wasn't really into merchandizing.
Please do a bad review for Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) Korey Goodman and it’s has a great cast too DM,Jet Li, Anthony Anderson, Kelly Hu, Mark Dascascs and Gabrielle Union
I loved Monkeybone for it’s strange character designs, all the little doodles and sketches
I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!! It was just so weird and fantastical I loved it sooo much
I've never even heard of this movie until I saw the Nostalgia Critic episode. Now that I have, I can see why it's not well liked. The visuals and concept are cool, it just wasn't executed well.
I saw this movie when I was 10 ior 11 on a cruise(it was a seaday so we hadn't reached port yet)....this movie baffled TF out of me and I have a crazy malleable imagination. I just remember staring at it with my jaw so far open, it was damn near to hell for being so baffled! I did have chocolate strawberries and a Shirley Temple though so that was good🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
