Any chances you will review Return of the living dead?
Hi from YNAO🙋
You need watch movie "Brave new world" old version or "Things to come" black and wite version th-cam.com/video/k_b3s2IdHAI/w-d-xo.html (ther in the end societi of sciens send space ship in time of riot) or "Aftermatch" postapacalips cartoon version
I would but twitter is the worst and EVERYONE should stay away from it. Do you have an ICQ chat name?
Hey Snob, since you occasionally review porno films, How about Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend?
"They're banging for peace!" Reminds me of that Dave Chappelle skit where he talks about what it'd be like if we had a crackhead for president.
My father directed this movie when I was a kid. For some reason, someone thought it was a good idea to give me one of the "Crew" shirts when I visited set one time. As a result, I was a 7 year old owner of a military green t-shirt that inexplicably said, "World War III" in stencil font across the chest. It's only now, over 30 years later, that I realize just how weird that is.
Dude that is awesome!! Do you still wear it?
@@StonedGremlinProductions Nah. It wore out years ago. The neckline got over stretched, if I recall. It was a pretty unimaginative shirt. I do remember a funny exchange with one of my Jr. high teachers: something like, "Are you trying to start a third world war?"
Man, this footage from January 2020 hasn't aged very well.
give the man a break its hard to find places to develop super 8
on my copy the dubbing is perfect, lips match up n everything
It's aged like a fine wine
*Clinker Brick*
This episode hits differently now.
"I'm just gonna get down on the ground with my shittin' cup."
I never made it past the opening section to Fallout 3’s Operation Anchorage, but I didn’t know it’d get this bizarre
Turns out General Chase got drunk and confused the Soviets for the Chinese. Woops.
david soul should've used the killall console command
I think Specialist Olin might have screwed up and loaded the wrong simulation.
I kept finding myself saying, "Hey, it's that guy!" So many actors you'd constantly seeing guest starring and co starring in 70's and 80's shows all the time.
I do believe *Igloo tanks* are referred to as *Tankgloos* .
"They made out during Schindler's List." Good throwback.
“More coffee drinking than in a Coleman Francis film” nice one!
"Since this is 1982 and this is the Third Part of the World War Trilogy , shouldn't this be in 3D?"
My Mom was born in 36 and LOVED Rock Hudson.
She was in complete denial that he was Gay. My brothers and I teased her about it for years even after he passed. Rock sure did look like a movie star. Great review Brad....the timing is perfect.
@MrNilssonTheMonkey :D
World War 3D is a great name for a spoof movie ... or reality.
It looks so real!
There is a serious version of Dr. Strangelove .
Sydney Lumet's Fail Safe came out mere months after Dr. Strangelove and deals with a very similar "misunderstanding escalates to nuclear war scenario", but much more grounded and technical. Not everybody dies at the end, but it's still a downer ending.
The movie is not near as memorable or fun as Dr. Strangelove, but if you consider it on its own with no comparisons it's stands as a very well made political drama.
Yeah that’s going to be too difficult to avoid. Peter Sellers is WAY too iconic of an actor to ignore especially in Dr. Strangelove.
Funny enough the actions taken by the crew of the bomber in Dr. Strangelove would have prevented the disaster in Fail Safe from occurring in the first place. The line from Major Kong to Ace if I'm not mistaken is: "Why don't you get a confirmation from base." Ace a bit later relays, "message from base confirmed." They radioed there base to confirm no instrumentation failure.
👍🏻👍🏻
I just want to know when the World War franchise goes into space. Do we have to wait for World War X ?
You're thinking of the spin-off, Star Wars.
It begins with the development of an ftl jumpdrive. A senator checking out the test, watches in horror as the scientist jumps the test vehicle into the whitehouse oval office and out again leaving a wormhole where Washington DC used to be. He puts the Sole governing official in absolute power.
Netflix comes close with Space Force...
Perhaps it would have been more memorable if the ending had been set to Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing and it then cut to black.
Mona from Whos the Boss is a freak in everything.
That's 'cause SHE'S the real boss.
Where’s the Saran Wrap across the face auto erotic asphyxiation scene?
Ride the corpse down the mountain Homer Simpson style.
It’s episodes like this that remind my why I love this channel so much. Bravo, Snob.
youve successfully built my hype for this series id never heard of. I dont know what this is but for some reason, hell yes ive been waiting for this
"Whoops, Apocalypse!" is a great spoof on the trend of WW3 movies in the '80s. Would love Brad to do that one.
I really think you should do 'The Day After' now that's a depressing World War 3 Mini-Series
yes if you can look past the scenes of Jobeth Willams still managing to have her hair done and wearing really nice clothes after her character has spent weeks in atomic rubble!
I just watched some parts of the 'Amerika' miniseries on TH-cam and now I really wanna see Brad review it. The miniseries itself is interesting in its own weird way but its production and the reaction it got is what seals the deal for me. Plus the fact that it's so obscure to contemporary audiences compared to 'Red Dawn' and 'The Day After.'
"WE'VE ALSO MONITORED A NEARLY 70% INCREASE IN THE USE OF STOCK FOOTAGE ON OUR SCREENS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE BUDGET TO SIMULATE MASSIVE MOVEMENTS OF MILITARY HARDWARE!"
"Don't Give Up On Us" would've gone so well here. Det. Hutch could've sung it to Dr. Nichols as he held him in a post-coitus spoon.
I think that this miniseries should have used the original ending that involved the President and the Russians having a giant pie fight in the War Room instead of nuclear armageddon.
I think the title needs some oil.
I thought that was Fail Safe.
@Gary Hall Imran Zakhaev disagrees.
You are mistaken. The giant pie fight scene is actually the original ending for Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove." There was no similar scene ever shot for this miniseries, so it is inaccurate to suggest that the producers could have substituted a giant pie fight scene for the miniseries ending.
@@michaelerickson985 beek
4:51 Poor Boomer. Survived the war with the Cylons only to get killed by a Soviet infiltrator. :(
In case anyone's interested, Premier Gorny's son is a member of the Vladimir Lenin All-Union Pioneer Organization (aka the Young Pioneers), similar idea to Soviet Boy Scouts & Girl Guides. It was expected for the children of Party members to join this group.
Never thought I'd see Jessica Tate coming on to Macmillan
I feel like alot of this could be solved if we got Major Kong on the scene riding a bomb down on the russians from a plane screaming yee haw. Your missed Slim Pickens.
@De Oppresso Libtard the characters name in dr strangelove is Kong. ;)
Well, he triggers the doomsday machine and blows up the earth, so I guess that's not so helpful.
The Big Red Button and also the Red Phone. And lets not forget The Day After.
Good thinking Snob get in your War Room!
Remember War Games. Do you want to play chess or global thermonuclear war. And we mustn't forget the giant computer that was called the Whopper.
Can't wait for Burger King to reopen.
As a fellow Pennsylvanian, I can confirm we definitely like bombs, fire and destruction. Hell...people set police cars on fire downtown just the other day.
I remember watching that Monday night's episode of That's Incredible! on ABC, when Cathy Lee Crosby beat Fran Tarkenton in the first version of Madden on the Apple IIe.
9:33 it's "Die Hard II" co-hero Leslie Barnes!
Thanks for the shitting cup idea, looks like we'll be needing it...
i dont know why but "The Shittin' Cup" has been the highlight of all these recent episodes for me
@bigevilworldwide1 Same
Omg. I totally lost it after The Great Race Clip. I loved that movie as a kid!
Very happy.
I'm shocked that there wasn't any implications of adding the Battle of Hoth references anywhere in this bizarro miniseries.
Great stuff! Great stuff!
I just hope we do get a glimpse of the mini series known as Amerika soon! I'm curious as to how it'll played out in your review.
I appreciate everything you've done to capture, analyze, recollect and share so much about Cinema, Snob.
...but calling right-wing conservative movies "artless 90 minute viagra ads" is what I'll be taking away from this one.
I guess he's gonna go fill up his shittin' cup now...
So basically watch the Day After instead.
this is your best work from 2020
Another AWESOME Mega Episode, Brad. I'm pretty Old School myself. Loved the various references of The Great Race, Family Affair and Alice. XD I was not expecting those
I love your videos Cinema Snob. They never fail to entertain me. Also, you inspired me to make my own youtube channel, thank you.
Igloo-Tanks !! Awesome. 👍🏻
I loved this miniseries as a kid. I have not seen it in years.
"You switched the samples" nice The Fugitive reference.
"Devlin McGregor could give you... Provasic!"
Robert Prosky may have been from Philly, but he was of Slavic decent.
The Future of 1987 lol
Followed 10 years later by nuclear winter from...the Russians! But the US will be busy fighting terminators...
Don’t “lol” at that you incencitive prick. Its all going to hell here in 2020, and I fear the events in this tv movie will occur in the year 1987 considering all that is occuring.
Can they get more specific about when in the future, is it not the in the not too distant future? Because, if it is someone needs to warn a guy named Joel and his robot friends.
Why is there the sound effect of a balloon getting inflated when the single letters of the title card appear??
Ikr? DeviantArt: The War Movie. 🎈💥
Yeah. I thought those numbers need some WD40.
Is it just my paranoia or does the Red sleeper agent that takes out the base at the beginning look like a young Vladimir Putin?
Uncle Cinema Snob
I think my family chose the new episode of Alice when this premiered
Same, also my parents watched the series finale of Alice the night The Day After premiered.
I loved it.Had it on VHS,until a house fire.Hate you can't find it anywhere.
9:31 kinda coincidence that he mentioned the name stryker when the patch he is wearing below the ranger tab is the 172nd. that unit would be a stryker brigade in the early 2000s. plus there was never a ranger unit in the 172nd
Finally! Time to get to my bunker in fear
Do Threads if you want a really depressing one.
Man, that squeezy sound effect when the I I I shows up under the World War logo makes this movie sound like it should be a comedy.
The silencer shots were from Goldeneye too.
I recently got this on VHS ♥
I have a hunch that the script was written during or shortly after the actual grain agreement between the US and the USSR that gave you Yakov Smirnoff, and was not updated to reflect the fact, that after the neo-Stalinist years of Brezhnev, the two following first premiers after him and before Gorbachev were former leaders of the KGB.
I do think it's intentional that the screenplay purports an internal coup to plausibly deny that they wanted to suggest the Soviets want a war. In case somebody under 30 reads this, today's equivalent is when a leader says they barely have to time to watch TV, but are keenly familiar with ratings (of course same day watchers, no VOD on streaming), but I digress...
I find it a bit lacking that after 1998 a new movie wasn't made about how just a year later in '83 during a NATO exercise the Soviets have mistaken a Korean commercial flight for a spy plane and shot it down. The piloy who did it died in 2015, still believing he shot down a spy plane, which would mean, yes, it has a "crisis actors" conspiracy. Andropov and Gromyko were hardliners, who believed in their ideology, and like a "No True Scotsman" believed that citizens under their occupation don't revolt, it's gangsters with CIA backing. Or at least that was the justification back then when they suppressed the uprising of 1956.
At 17:58;
"Your record indicates that you are some sort of frustrated genius. SO START GENIUS-ING!!"
(Always thought that was the better reading...) 😁
well i was gonna try to watch this before your review but then i got stuck watching the other WW3(the news)
I've never bought TH-camr branded merch, but I need a Cinema Snob "Shit'n Cup" right now!!!
at last!
That reminds me, Invasion U.S.A. when?
Feels like we're not too far from World War III in some parts of the country now
What world 3 ? As long as Poland isn't fucked over the world war is nowhere to be found. What is happening in USA is just domestic terrorism.
I'm looking forward to a civil war, they should make a sequal to that.
that would be a civil war
It's a civil war at best.
You mean civil war
22:03: Well, to be honest, Father Mulcahy was a fuckin' badass in that episode...
In an alternate reality Ronald Reagan played the president in this movie and Rock Hudson was elected president.
I remember this! I wish there was some way to watch it.
Thank you, Mr. Snob. I needed that.
Do The Swarm next!
16:36 I would have gone with an ALF reference for that actress, myself.
Have you done The Day After?
I came here to say that. I saw that when I was 10 and it gave me nightmare for years.
@@dana8503 If you want worse nightmares try Threads, the British The Day After. Nasty.
Still, it's not as dull or depressing as Rocket Attack USA.
Anybody ever heard of this movie called the Fourth War it has Roy Scheider in it. It's one of my guilty pleasures.
fastest click in the west
last time i was this early snob had hair as was sitting on the basement floor
X-TRA POINTS for that *CALIGULA* poster.
Regards,
Kev
Snob new what was coming! That's why he waited!
Seriously, review either the Day After or Threads
Brad's on the ground again. Dark times are here again.
He survived BattleStar Galactic only to be shot in Alaska.
Well, creators of this garbage clearly don't speak Russian. That's a relief. I don't wanna imagine realistic WWIII wright now... or anytime soon.
I got to finally see The Omega Man shortly after the quarantine started.
5:02- And this mini-series was 2 years before the first Terminator.
6:46- That's what I've been telling myself every morning since January 21, 2017.
7:13- Or get Ernest P. Worrell. He saved Christmas once, and he can do it again.
There's more snow in this mini-series than Devil Times Five and Cutthroats Nine combined.
20:09- "Today, we celebrate our Christmas Day!"
34:48- "He falsified his research. So that RDU-90 could be approved, and Devlin McGregor could give you...Provasic!"
36:43- At least the REAL 1987 gave us RoboCop and Predator.
37:39- Should have been Crackers Phinn.
Good grief, does EVERY black person in this movie die before anyone else?
Well this is a surprise. Wasn't expecting this movie to be reviewed.
Great timing Brad.
If this took place in the Fallout universe the Soviets would have gotten a nasty surprise: Liberty Prime!
Actually a timeline where Rock Hudson was president doesn't sounds bad.
Let me know when the "The Offical TCS Shittin Cup" becomes available for purchasing!
23:36 About time the blood show up this MINI MOVIE
Can you do The Day After?
I was hoping for that fake Lee Majors saving Santa movie from the beginning of Scrooged to actual be made.
Love 'the great race', ever seen tony curtis in manitou? Good shit, great channel..
Do the German mockumentary of the same name
"Shittin Cup"
A Zilla cupholder and Cup.
Rock Hudson being romanced by Mona from "Who's The Boss?" while we also see the backstory of the Deep Throat from the X-Files.
22:30 so would this make it WORLD WAR III: PART II? And somebody needs to use some WD-40 on those title stingers.
27:01 it would figure that Deep Throat works for the Air Force. I guess he went from Project: Blue Book to Project: Blue Balls.
