That saltwater scene was a masterpiece.
I almost cut it out of the script right before filming too! Glad I kept it
@@FanboyFlicks you should get an Oscar FanboyFlicks👍
Hahaha I'm so glad someone else said it
That was comedy gold 🤣
@@FanboyFlicks Please review the giant mutant killer bear movie Prophecy !!!!!
@@FanboyFlicks I loved it!
"i hope they don't dust the water for prints." had me in stitches
I was going to type the same thing!!!! LMAO And " he gets into his murder Van!!"
@@5153flash the murder mobile is pretty sweet.
Thats so awesome.
lol ikr? Reminds me of the line from Spinal Tap, "you can't really dust for vomit." Gets me every time!
Absolute gold!
Mark’s versions of movies are always 10000x better than the actual film
When he said "oh gosh I hope they don't dust the water for fingerprints" 🤣
Salt water!!!!!!
"All Sonny wanted to do was take care of the sharks, but in the end, the sharks didn't really give a shit and ate him anyway." - That plot point reminds of movie made almost 30 years later: Grizzly Man.
If its the one im thinking about...this one was a "documentary"...in the end he was eaten by a grizzly...not a movie...i think he lost his mind staying in the wild with the grizzlies and got careless...and he paid with his life!
@@jamesgarrett6848 - Saying "movie" instead of Doc, and "plot point" is part of the joke. But thanks. Yes Treadwell stetting up camp in the Grizzly Maze, on a bear trail, in the fall when bears are feeding rabidly, with no bear spray, or electric fence was wildly careless. I feel bad for that girl who trusted him.
@@crashburn3292 I feel bad for Herzog who went and listened to the audio only recording of them getting eaten. He looked about ready to end it then and there afterwards.
I wouldn't mind a movie acted entirely by Mark
The quality of that saltwater scene was superb
Imagine if while sonny is eating the hamburger, a guy that communicates with cows kills him, then sits down to eat a plate of chicken.
And the cycle continues from there, never ending...
This is actually the most reasonable comment that I've read here..
I’m excited for this extended cinematic universe
I have imagined. It is a better movie
Mark must have an impressive wig collection by this point
I'm honestly surprised at how often I find myself browsing for new wigs online now
It really warms my heart to hear Mark expressing his disdain for animal cruelty in movies.
💚🥺🥺💚
Well, of course, animal cruelty sucks. I mean I understand the need to deal harshly with invasive species, or, the need to not starve to death, however, there are people who honestly get pleasure from it, and, that's messed up.
Except when it comes in a Big Mac with a set of fries
@@screencut4237 Apparently :(
@@screencut4237 *contains no actual Mac.
Is killing one shark to entertain a thousand people really that much more barbaric that eating an extra fillet o fish sandwich? I mean you're killing at least one fish for something you really didn't need in each case. Should we call the employer of a fat man we see pigging out of fish sandwiches and try to get him fired?
I love how all the "makos" are actually tiger sharks and some completely harmless nurse sharks.
Even better.. if I was swimming outside of a cage I'd rather see a mako than a tiger shark. Though I'd take a nurse over either!
I've never seen a mako more than five feet long. Not exactly terrifying creatures.
"20 dollars for a shark is a massive..." "bargain." Impressive, very nice.
His segues into his skits are getting better and better!
I was picturing Jim Carrey to pop out at any time as "The Juice Weasel".
I had a dream that you were the professor of some class, and was like “Hello everyone. Welcome back”. And I had to chime in “TO the show”, and you stared at me like I was an idiot
Man this channel has gotten super funny and entertaining lately, I’m glad I stuck around all these years
It always has been super funny 🤷♂️
I think it's always been funny, however, it has gotten even funnier of late. The 'Wheel of Fortune' skits had me howling until my sides hurt.
hes always been funny but i think his "i care about the mvoies even the bad ones' has kinda pegged out so now this is a semi-crazy mark that just dosen't care anymore. soon he'll turn into a movie review super villian and i'm here for it
Frankly, he has improved greatly since the first episodes he was doing with the friend. The budget for the show has climbed dramatically, too. It’s great to see him really come into his own. By God, I hope he gets more subs, he deserves a million.
I usually zone out with other review channel "skits", but the effort you put into yours is extremely well done and captivating, full respect keep it up dude
I usually zone out with other review channel "skits"
Nostalgia Critic
The salt water skit was really well done.
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 Doug would have his "shark man" idea start the review and spend an eternity before he even mentions the movie, then keep going through the entire review.
It's because he is actually good at doing comedy characters and bits rather than someone who just does skits because it's part of the internet reviewer formula. Note also that if he doesn't have a good idea for a skit in a review he doesn't feel obligated to include one.
And most importantly, it's not childish or overdone.
Mark is the only TH-camr I turn off my ad blocker for just so he can get paid for all his hard work. And if this doesn’t sound like a sacrifice just know that I have to watch not one but two idiots rapping about Taco Bell.
I know... I have to watch this lady on a bus rapping to some song and then have to endure another one of the poop and fart bloke!
or....you could spend $1 a month on patreon
The shark man ordering seawater skit was one of Mark's best ever!
thank you for addressing animal cruelty in movies, I had no idea that to this day there are still accidental (and otherwise) animal deaths during productions.
I would love to see more historical or technical tid-bits interwoven in your presentations 😊
That shark sale skit was the funniest scene you’ve done yet, Mark! I was cracking up the whole time.
Starring the almost legendary Richard Jaeckel, one of the hardest working character actors over 4 or 5 decades in Hollywood... He actually got an Oscar nomination at one point too I think... 👍🏴
I would drop the "almost", as I find him to be truly legendary. Even though he did his fair share of bad/low-budget movies in the 70's, he also starred in many classic 1950's movies, mainly war movies, alonside some of the greatest stars of all time, including John Wayne and Burt Lancaster. Younger people will also recognize him from the first few seasons of "Baywatch". He was one of Hollywood's most prolific character actors and played in almost 200 movies and TV shows!
@@guida-walker-channel Yeah I totally agree, 'almost' wasn't, perhaps, the best choice of words. Maybe 'under-rated'... Definitely a legend to me... An absolute trooper. Thanks for your comment, appreciated 🏴👍
@@GlasgowGallus Sorry if I came off a bit harsh back there, and you're right, 'underrated' would be the perfect word! Thank YOU for mentioning Jaeckel. ;)
@@guida-walker-channel Oh it's not a problem. I took it in the spirit it was intended... 👍
Love him in ‘The Outfit’ one of my favorites
No Shark Repellent Bat Spray was used in the making of this film.
Having a psychic connection with sharks and then later being rejected by a woman. We've all been there, right guys? :)
Pfft yeah if I had a nickel for every time I gained a supernatural power only to utterly fail to impress my date with it. Ah, such is life. KITTY ARMY, LET'S GO! (walks off dejectedly followed by a dozen meowing cats)
I'm still there
GIVE ME SALT. IN WATER. MORE. MORE. *contented gurgling*
This one was really fun. Thanks, Mark! I do respect that it was an interesting take on the shark exploitation trend, but it is a shame there was quite literally shark exploitation going on in order to make it. I do agree, that is some nice looking footage!
You NAILED the part of Sonny asking for salt water! :) I would love to see you do more dramatic stuff!
Richard Jaekel, also one of the main characters in the original Grizzly, also in Day of the Animals and The Dark.
So...wait. Near the beginning of this movie, when Sonny was recognized as a "shark shaman" after NOT being attacked in shark infested waters, BEFORE receiving the shark amulet, was a one-time freebie? Because, logically speaking, having or not having the amulet should not have made a difference. Right? Did the writers forget? Or, just say "f it".
I think it was implied that he earned it by not showing fear for the sharks or something. Been a few decades since I saw this movie, but that was the impression I got.
I probably wouldn't worry about it.
I know right? It made it seem like he had this natural connection with sharks from the beginning
I have a feeling this "movie" has alot of plot holes...Lol!
@@FanboyFlicks The true friends were the sharks we had all along.
Great review of yet another one of William Grefé's low-budget gems. I also appreciate how Mark once again praises the good stuff (in this case, the underwater footage) along with the bad. BTW, the director's crowning achievement is a movie called "Impulse" (1974), where William "Captain Kirk" Shatner gives the absolute worst - but also most hilarious - performance of his long career, playing a deranged psychopath who robs and kills lonely women. It's an absolute must for any bad movie fan (and devoted Trekkies), and would therefore be perfect for Mark's review skills (wink, wink). Shatner's performance is so over-the-top it has to be seen to be believed. He also wears some of the ugliest clothes of all time! Incidentally, Harold "Odd Job" Sakata is in it as well, playing against type.
I"m sorry but I"m going to have to put you out of your misery,no offence
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
I'm sorry, but I see "Harold 'Odd Job' Sakata playing against type" and all I can think about is him playing someone with a long-term professional career, generous pension & retirement plan.
@@briangonigal3974 True that, lol! I can't really explain it without giving much away, but let's just say he was a very odd choice for the role, and is terribly miscast (but still contributes to all the hilariousness!)
@@guida-walker-channel I’ve actually seen a very brief clip of that film, basically just Shatner acting like a bug-eyed maniac while wearing a black & white leisure suit with ridiculously huge lapels, that immediately made me think “I HAVE to see this movie!”
I remember this being on late at night back in the 80's and it was baffling even back then with all the crazy low budget horror movies that came out.
There actually was a place in Florida called "Weeki-Wachee Springs", where you could go to a restaurant/bar just like that and watch the, "Mermaids" (women swimming around in Mermaid tail outfits and bathing suits) underwater. I wonder if that is where they actually filmed this.
That place STILL exists (it opened in 1947!) and they still have the live mermaids, too! I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's where this was filmed, since the director was born and raised in Florida and most of his movies were entirely filmed there.
This is the first time I've heard of this place, and it sounds awesome.
@@guida-walker-channel Oh wow, I didn't realize it was still around - I used to live down there in the 90's, not far from Weeki-Wachee. I didn't know that the Director was from FL, since he was It makes total sense that it could have been filmed there.
Is that also where they filmed that sequence in "The Right Stuff," where the astronauts are pretending to be Pick-Up Artists, offering space memorabilia to the cuties?
@@alexmuenster2102 No, those scenes were shot at the Mermaid Room inside the El Rancho Motel (now El Rancho Inn) in Millbrae, California, near San Francisco International Airport. It used to be one of SF's main tourist attractions, and the bar with the underwater window is still there, but no "mermaids" performing anymore.
Petition for Mark uses the curly wig for an entire review.
Call me crazy but everyone who asks "Am I crazy now?"
After telling you he's Ubereats for sea life, is crazy.
You had me at "psychic Shark."
The skits must take a lot of work and are really top-notch! Your reviews usually make my day, so thanks for all the effort.
"It's also amazing how Sunny it is for Being the Middle of The Night... Absolute Bloody Genius.
Thanks Mark, your jokes come thick and fast in this one.
Props to Mark for somehow being able to pull off looking like a crazed lunatic and also a 70s housewife convincingly!
Damn. Mark was on fire on this episode. The saltwater scene, dust the water for prints, murdermobile, 20 dollar shark deals and my favorite...WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH
The lore of Sonny’s necklace makes me confusion.
The sharks in the Philippines didn’t attack him so the mystical Filipino Shark shaman gave Sonny the mystical Filipino shark proof necklace.
So now when Sonny was Eco murdering fishermen he was safe among the sharks with the necklace on.
But then at the end when he dropped the necklace and fell into a shark party he was killed. For not wearing the necklace?
But he wasn’t wearing the necklace in that first attack in the Philippines and the sharks left him alone.
Maybe the mystical Filipino shark power was within Sonny all along as long as he believed in himself. The necklace was like Dumbo’s feather. So when Sonny was ripped apart by sharks at the end it was because he stopped believing in himself.
Anybody else need closure on this?
I think what this movie is saying is that sharks can sense fear.
maybe they felt betrayed after Sonny lead so many to death by the hands of the "researchers" and the sharks felt he was loosing his cool plus becoming a liability rather than reliable ally,after that whole heart break thingi ...
Richard Jaeckel's Sonny was the protagonist antihero & in the final scene I believe he took the necklace off deliberately & wanted the sharks to devour him. He had lost faith in mankind & their hatred of sharks, and also knew he was trapped knowing he was wanted for mass murders.
So consider it a suicide. I once believed when I 1st saw the film in '76 that his medallion fell off on accident during the fight scenes. Yet on future viewings seeing how distraught & hopeless he acted, & jumping feet 1st down the floor hatch I felt much different. His last words were "I'm coming home." Perhaps in his mind he would go home to a shark eternity being one with the sharks.
I thank the bad movie gods that there is an endless supply of these entertaining disappointments so that you have an eternity of work ahead of you. Love you man!
That divorce joke at the end really hit home for me. Or it would if I still had my home.
4:18 Ah Harold Sakata. Beloved Bond villain, Olympic silver medalist, and one of the godfathers of Japanese pro-wrestling. Love that guy.
6:49 - Don't you know? He's using Tiger-Shark Kung-Fu!!! 😁
That Golden eye bit during the credits... Right in the nostalgia.
This channel makes me happy to be alive, and that's quite a feat these days.
that skit is a masterpiece . i dont really comment on your videos usually , i just watch them fully. but those expressions are fire
5:59 "I hope they don't dust the water for prints". 😂
Best line ever. 😂👍💯
10:57 Dude you always make these videos fun to watch. 😂
The salt water skit was actually too good man 🤣
That salt water scene should become its own movie.
The "you're a sicky" part nearly killed me.
Outstanding acting and editing Mark! You looked terrifying and hysterical in the same clip! Love from NJ!!
I love how the counter to a buyer feeling bad about buying a dead, endangered, $20 shark, is an extra offer of a free shark mask.
PROXY MINES
I've said it numerous times but I will say it again . Nothing brings a smile to my face like hearing Mark say "welcome back too the show" , because I know I'm in for loads of laughter. I was having a terrible day and this video just turned it all around. I want to send a person thanks 👍
I subscribed to Mark's channel awhile ago because I realized that this guy actually works hard for his bread 🍞 and butter 🧈! Editing is not easy, and then you add the acting into it and it's on another level! That salt water scene was brilliant, mate... 👍
Damn that salt water scene was so well done, like I believed you were turning half shark and the acting was actually pretty good. You really looked like you were drenched in sweat and hadn't slept in days.
This movie sounds awesome. Not for any particular scene but the idea of following a serial killer from beginning to end
Jaeckel had such a knack for a frozen fatal side stare. I remember feeling bad for him as a kid when it looked as if he was going to survive the grizzly, but it didn't happen and he had that frozen stare as it started coming toward him to finish him off.
Btw, how'd they cast the role of that woman, put out an announcement for an older stunt woman underwater swimmer that can't act?
I've noticed that in several of the movies he's reviewed, stunt actors who are just horrible at acting. The "I am hungry" father in The Swarm who got covered in bees and the "Delightful. I'll tell Mabel" relative in Frogs who wrestled an alligator.
Your movie reviews are the best on TH-cam!!
The shark salesman transition almost killed me!
I loved this review, as with your other reviews as always. But the saltwater scene is on another level!
I think this movie has something going for it, to be honest. I am no filmmaker nor scriptwriter but there’s something about “caring too much” that touched me in the last scene. Or maybe it’s just me? 😟
Mark trying to explain a stupid scene to the best of his ability, and realizing he can't.
🤣🤣
My favorite time stamp of this vid was the "Shark Showoff" one.
I'll keep tuning in to it so I can see if there's ever gonna be a Megalodon for sale. I gotta have one of those.
This was one of the best videos yet! The extra skits, especially the TV ad, were gold!
That's a shame psychic shark guy, he was the MP Sergeant on the movie The Dirty Dozen.
lovin the epilogue talk about Goldeneye. You are so right Mark. That bond theme playing every minute or so. Hysterical
Good lord how don’t you have several million subscribers, man? You’re hilarious and your acting scenes are better made than the movies you’re presenting. Very high quality, it’s awesome.
the salt water insertion was SO GOOD man, i love everytime you do that
“Bucket of chum and a movie?” I’m totally using that, and you can’t stop me. YOU DON’T OWN WORDS.
Dude... Wtf... My dude, you are the funniest movie critic ever.
You should definitely write your own movie script (comedy- you skits are so fucking funny) and pitch it to some Hollywood hotshot to turn it into a movie!
It’s always a great day when the Mark has uploaded a new episode of The Show for us.
6:50 odd job’s shirt color and body shape and size change momentarily. Sonny looks like Jon Voight.
I've been with the channel for about a month or two now, and I got to say your skits are some of the best out there. Thanks for this new one today and I can't wait for the next one!
And they sold Sonny's Sharkmobile to Fred of Mystery Inc. and it became the Mystery Machine...SCOOBY DOOBY DOO!!!
The "dust the water for prints" line is still making me laugh... still... its been hours...I think I might need to go to a doctor.
Beautiful work as always Mark!
I love how intense you make your skits. The saltwater skit, along with the robot invasion skit from your Santa Claus Conquers the Martians review are some of your best ones.
I’m impressed that this video got sponsored by McDonalds AND the Weird Shopping Channel.
Great episode, love the film! If you want to have the Richard Jaeckel trifecta of that time. You need to watch Day of the Animals. He's great in that too. Or Blood Song. He's more a supporting character in it. But he plays a great prick of an alcoholic father.
OMG, that was one of Mark's BEST and Funniest vids and I've watched since the beginning. Many more were extremely funny, but I was rolling probably a little more. Well done.
Wild! So, for moments like 13:54 how were they doing those in a movie of this era? It's clearly an actual shark, but doesn't look like classic animal fights where it's dead/stuffed. Did they yank out all of a live shark's teeth?! The eyes even roll closed during the bite. Or did they somehow rig up a dead shark with an internal mechanism to puppet it's mouth? Again, wild!
EDIT: This dude was a fictional prototype for Timothy Treadwell.
EDIT2: Played a lot of Golden Eye. We most often had on License to Kill. MoonRaker Elite Lady was also short like Oddjob but with the yellow suit she was far less of a threat. We actually banned Arctic Commando eventually as with the low-res his mottled gray blended with many walls.
Yes, they pulled out all of the live sharks teeth. If you slow the video down at 0:48 and 13:58 it’s extremely noticeable. 😑
@@glorygloryholeallelujah Yikes. Well that's horrible.
@@glorygloryholeallelujah yeah pretty messed up but it still has an insane bite force which would've hurt or even injured the actor
the director just seems like a piece of shit
@@oneopinion6806 yeah…this is definitely one of those *Good Bad* movies that you feel a little bit guilty when watching…
But I still love it though (I just know that I should feel bad when I watch it.)
Balance?🤷♀️
Lol
A couple more award winning wigs I see. good job!
A channel this good having under a quarter million subscribers after a decade is borderline criminal.
Wow I love the scenes he does, he’s so dedicated that he switches clothes and throws water on himself
Sonny wanted to take care of the sharks, but the sharks took care of him MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Great inserts of yourself into some of the movie scenes. The saltwater scene was hilarious, I’ll be sure to nominate for this years funniest scene in a movie👍🏻👍🏻
dude you CAN act! dude this episode is gold! maybe my fav!
"Shopping Network Mark" could sell water to a fish. That's one enchanting salesmen
the salt water bit...omg what an amazing skit..you outdid yourself again mark..great acting!! i cant see a short movie in the making....
More than one version of Mark acting out scenes now?? The acting chops are on full display! Just how long must we all endure the injustice of Breen himself not yet casting you in a film?
Is it just me or is one of your favorite parts of these reviews is what kind of skit is he going to come up with. Mark's skits are always way better than the movie he is reviewing and frankly better than most movies made these days. :D
That salt water skit was too brilliant😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I hope your agent is working overtime to get you acting jobs bro
DUDE, I love your videos! Damn it feels good to laugh when you haven’t in a while, much thanks!
That salt water scene is why I love you. 😂
I collect ugly things. Ugly Knick knacks that make me laugh bring me so much joy that I decided to collect them.
The drinking glass necklace is pure genius.
He did a back flip, snapped the bad guy's line, and saved the day
The salt water skit was hilarious! I keep replaying it lol your sense of humor my fave.
I do legit like the concept of this movie. I mean hell, if you want an original shark horror movie, hard to get more original than essentially a murderous Aquaman
Sunny looks like middle aged Fred from Scooby Doo.
Wow, you playing a deranged fisherman was actually pretty A++
Mark, please bring back that wig! It was great. Always, a great review.
I just live for your skits in these videos, you are such a natural comedic actor and they get better all the time. :)
Finally! This was the film playing when I lost my virginity to a one-legged croupier in Atlantic City around 4:38 pm on a Saturday in 1978. F**kin' hot. Anyway, she was also murdered by sharks, but after she’d made me a man, of course.
Well, I anyway, can't speak for anybody else here, presumed you meant, before she got eaten by a shark.
5:21 Apparently, Philippe Séguin, one of our late french politicians, played in this movie hehe
