Oliver Harper. The man knows how to make a retrospective!
I think Oliver should start a movie trailer company. :)
Hey Mr. Harper i am a big fan of your Retrospectives! But till this day i wonder why you havent made a retrospective of "Ronin" (1998) one of the best films of the 90s (maybe ever). I really hope you are reading this and maybe you are fixing this in the (near) future. Cheers Briggadoon
Mikeymegamega Indeed he does. And he picks my kinda movies too. Real guy stuff, no "chick flicks" or g rated stuff.
mikeymegamega you speak the truth!
One of my all-time favorites. The perfect mix of comedy, charm, horror and action. A unique movie in that regard.
Same here. I think i'm obsessed with this surreal and fascinating film as i keep watching it often.
@@rickb9745 me too! I find myself watching this movie at least once every year.
@@pest174 @_ 3nekos Yeah!!, i love the semi realistic atmosphere in the south border with Mexico mix of modern American western and ancient Mexican prehispanic cultures in a world inhabited by bikers, truckers, repentant shepperds, thiefs, and vampires which makes the movie evoke magic; it's soo surreal. And to me the most special part and fun is when Jacob tells the crew that they just arrived to my favorite bar ever: The Titty Twister. The energy the director infuses; the atmosphere inside and outside the bar is so contagious. And Cheech Marin shouting out nasty stuff at the bar entrance is hilarious. There's a camera take from director Rodriguez where Cheech is rambling frantically in front of the camera and the bar shows in the background sooo infused with energy with the multicolor neon lights and flames coming out the roof which I find genius. It's like the bar is alive. I love the camera work by director RR. And I think QT's energy and influence adds up greatly to the overall film.
A year before my dad passed away, he wanted to take me (who was 10 at the time) to go watch this in the theater. We didn’t get a chance to see it there but did rent it and watched it and my 10 almost 11 year old brain almost exploded by how cool this movie was! It’s still one of my all time favorites and always reminds me of my dad! The dialogue is a awesome, witty and sharp like Oliver says! Thanks for the review! Great behind the scenes info!
totally feel the same man lol. I saw this when I was 8 with my dad the year it came out. i remember we watched it home. and remember having no idea it was a vampire movie till the vampires popped off lol but also I always too think of my dad when I think of this movie
I was a huge Quentin Tarantino fan when I watched this at the cinema, had no idea what it was about and the second half came out of nowhere and was a MASSIVE suprise.
Still one of my favourite cinematic memories.
Yeah I never heard of it and my friend wanted me to watch it, when we started it I thought I was gonna be so bored because I didn't care much for crime movies, then it surprised the shit out of me like nothing else really has.
I wish more movies did that.
Its all about the George and Quinten chemistry in this flick. First half is so addicting, lol!
I believe you but how could you be a big Tarantino buff and not know? lol I mean even my friend had seen the TV spots before we went and he a casual film fan. Not to mention all the posters and stand ups at the theater. I wish I hadn’t known, would’ve made it even better lol
The way I saw it, I never really believed that Richie actually thought the cashier was blowing their cover, and was purposely lying to Seth just so he could see him die.
Of course, it was pretty obvious and hilarious.
Ye it's obvious
@@pakofajer838 what’s obvious
@@EvilDick1995 ha ha bro.. the bit about Richie lying through his teeth constantly because he likes to kill did a great job making viewers want to see him die. They couldn’t have made Quentin come off any creepier. lol The scene of him staring at Juliette made my skin crawl lol
@@EvilDick1995 that Richie is just a psychopath and wants to kill everyone he can
George Clooney's best role...ever!
@Zero Cool 😶👎
Beats the shit outta Batman & Robin!!!
Agree. He truly inhabits the ultra cool character he's playing.
what about Oh Brother!?
I didn't even know it was a vampire movie the first time I saw it, never saw the trailers, so kinda assumed it was another natural born killers
Larry Bundy Jr the trailers before the movie didn't have any vampire scenes in it. So cool.
Hello you! ;)
You never saw a trailer?
Ahhhh the trailers did have vampires...It was never a secret.
Me neither..that was the best part..being totally shocked by the switch in tone during the film.
When I was in highschool I made a bunch of my friends watch this. It was early 2000's, so back in the day where you go into a movie blind with the exception of info from TV trailers which none of them had seen. The sudden emergence of all the vampires (particularly the band) caused a hilarious reaction from everyone who expected a Reservoir Dogs style flick.
I had totally forgotten how awesome the practical effects are in this movie, damn!
Do you really think any set with Savini even close by would have subpar practical effects? The man is a god. I would have been terrified to work on the effects knowing he was going to see them first hand day in and day out.
Real "EFFECTS!" not that " HORRIBLE🤢" CGI
Enjoyable flick. But I'll never stop wondering how the plot would have played out had the vampires not shown up
They would’ve got drunk at the bar, Carlos would’ve shown up the next morning, Richie would’ve asked for a higher cut, probably would’ve either ended in a shootout or Richie dying
@@Emohawk707 exactly
@@Emohawk707 sounds a lot less interesting than the movie we got
they would never negotiated that sweet 5% discount.
Well Seth’s contact would’ve shown up and provided sanctuary. He would’ve kept his word and let the family go. The End
George Clooney's best movie. I'll never forget seeing this movie for the first time when I was 15 on VHS. It made me the horror movie fan I am today.
Lol it's not really a horror movie though is it?
I never took Clooney seriously as an actor until this one. Great movie and horror flick
I’ve never been a fan of George Clooney but From Dusk till Dawn is definitely one film I’ve enjoyed watching him in as the lead role.
This movie came out when i was 14 and it has stuck with me ever since. So great. Love every aspect of it. The horror the humor the dialogue the acting. Bravo to all involved.
I generally do not like George Clooney, but he was awesome in this movie. I recently bought this classic on Bluray. Love how the first half seems like a Tarentino crime drama, then enter the vampires and the Rodriguez action horror flick at the end.
That's the perfect combination of both directors)
I can't picture anyone else in the role. And that cool tattoo he has makes him look cooler.
Agreed on the Clooney point. I love the first half of the film, once it turns whacky I'm out.... pure and utter crap in my opinion. Each to their own of course.
@@rickb9745 Michael madden would have been awesomr
Oh and Salma Hayek... oh my god 😍 Lucky snake.
II DIRECTx II id like to let my cobra slither up her leg if you know what im sayin...but its just a baby snek so she wouldnt feel much
Erik Truchinskas lol 😂
Zero Cool yep 👍🏿
Lucky Edward Norton
I still shouted" NO!" when Salma Hayek died. I didn't care what she was, she was hot AF!
RaysWonder 213ED Amen.
Spoiler alert
I would've put up just enough of a fight for her to keep me around 😏
I loved this one. Seeing that dance Selma did was just a bonus
I absolutely love the Texas/Mexico border setting of From Dusk Till Dawn, always had a fascination with that type of setting. Another reason why I loved Breaking Bad and Fear The Walking Dead.
I think this is one of the reasons why i keep watching this film over and over again. And the Titty Twister is the coolest bar ever to exist.
Watched this in the theatre back in 96 and as a teenager I was blown away. Don't know if I like it as much today but it sure is very entertaining to watch. :)
Nothing like ending a monday with a retrospective of one of my favourite movies. Thank you for all the good work.
This movie brings back so many memories for me. As a teenager, me and a bunch of my friends rented this, and me being the film buff I am, I was the only one that knew this was a vampire movie. We had dropped acid before the movie started and when Salma 1st transforms into a vampire, my friends thought they were hallucinating because of the crazy shift in tone and, of course, the acid. I had to calm them down and explain that it was all part of the movie. Once again, another excellent job Ollie!!
saw this first time when i was like 11. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! george is the man! gecko bros for life .
Wow! Just noticed there is no "Fright Night" retrospective. That movie is so incredibly solid.👌. Acting, effects, humor, "stakes" all of it top notch. Dig the channel, you be you Oliver. Watch Fright Night again and I'll be sure to see it on here sooner than later.
"What were they, psychos?" Lol
david oakley Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!
That line, and Clooney's delivery of it, is so damn perfect! I don't know that I've ever laughed so hard at one line in any movie, especially the first time I saw it in the theater!
KP108 I agree. I died laughing the 1st time I saw it
No. No you were not!
Easily Clooneys best work.
This is a must-have in the Weinstein collection lol.
me too?
I was rewatching this literally the other night, one of my favorites. It's such a weird movie but somehow it works. This is probably my favorite George Clooney performance he's just so goddamn cool.
It needs to be said that this is one of the most underrated movies of all time.
True. I saw it again casually, and now i'm obsessed with this surreal and fascinating film, and the world it created.
As others have stated, I had no idea it was a horror movie when I went to see it in the theatre and was pleasantly surprised with the overall movie. At the time I only knew Tarantino from Reservoir dogs and Rodriguez not at all. The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites as it included Cheech Marin's speech's from the movie dialogue, when seems to be a staple of Tarantino films as Pulp Fiction also included film dialogue on it's soundtrack as well. It is one of my favorite horror movies, not only because of my above reasons, but also because of the inclusions of Tom Savini and Fred Williamson, who I enjoyed long before this came out.
Back in the lat 1990's after I had moved to Greece, me and my brother came across this Harley Rock bar that played quotes from this movie (Especially the Pussy speech) and music and the bar was decorated in rock and biker themes and felt just like this. The dude behind the bar looked just like Danny Trajeo and dressed like him. There was a jail cell in the back where we would gather with women and make out (At least the cool people did, I had my chance but blew it as I was just 18 and too shy to make any moves. REGRET) We all eventually became friends with the owner and would hang out together and stay there from 9pm till 9am in the morning watching the sun rise. Many a nights I would share a bottle of bourbon with bikers who invited us to their table just because we were friends with the owner who had a kick ass Harley. It was the best place me and my brother ever went to and we did for three four years until it was closed. Those times are gone and never coming back. But the photos and memories remain. The place was called 'Bookers' and it was the best rock back I ever had visited. This film will always remind me of Jimmy and Akis and George and Christina and all the girls.
Nice real life story. I even wish the Titty Twister existed. The coolest bar ever.
"I'm a mean, mmm mmm, servant of God."
Excellent retrospective, Oliver. You continue to be one of the best film based TH-camrs out there and really, I do sincerely wish you reach a 100K subs as you sir deserve it. This film to me is a masterpiece. Does it have flaws? Yeah, the tonal shifts between the more serious moments to the campy, goofy moments is there. But man; I do love it. And made me fans of Tarintino, Rodriguez and Clooney.
Neil Ganti I know right, hes so underrated
A gift. A gift for my Monday afternoon!
Still the best "WTF movie" in my book's.
+II DIRECTx II I had no idea it was a horror movie when I first saw it, so I wasn't expecting what would later transpire.
Watch anything by Takashi Miike
Watch the Greasy Strangler, it's the most recent wtf movie I've seen.
Jam Iey exactly the trailers before the movie came out had none of the vampire shit in it. So it was a total shock.
Great review on this, Oliver. One of my favorites growing up and I still own the soundtrack to it which I play a lot driving home from work and it always puts me in the mood with Dark Night being played the most. The sequels were what they were but I've yet to see the TV series. I will now with your recommendation.
I love watching movies again after watching your retrospectives!
From Dusk till Dawn (1996) is still one of the best fucking movies I've ever seen!!!!
Great Retrospective Review, Oliver! :D
Please do a Retrospective / Review of Pulp Fiction
"You don't look Japanese." "Neither does he, he looks Chinese."
"oh, well excuse me all to hell"
I love that line.
did anyone notice that the tattoo is on the wrong arm in the video game?
Dylan Carroll I'm pretty sure in the TV show its on the wrong arm too... Clooney has it on his left, but DJ has it on his right.
The faculty would be a great review to do.
oh jordana brewster, so hot
Great review! I completely agree about your final comments on George Clooney, he is one of the coolest characters in this film with the best dialogue. I always thought Quentin Tarantino was great in this too- he plays insane really well and is is so creepy
Great as always! One of my all time favourites, however one thing you might have mentioned: There was an original filmposter painted by Fank Frazetta (Rodriguez is a huge fan of his classic Fantasy-Art), however the studio decided to use a generic poster, focussing on the cast (Clooney mostly). I really like the orignal artwork, totally fits the whole movie (and theme)
lupo1185 I can totally believe they would do something boneheaded like turn down a Frazzeta poster. Modern studios have no clue when it comes to movie posters.
Sorry but the poster was a commissioned piece, done quite a while after, what is odd is that the original poster was done by legendary poster artist Graham Humphreys but he has so little time to work on it it, it was just a photo comp in the end.
On a related note, it's a shame Robert hasn't followed with his Fire and Ice-live action remake after seven years now. Here's hoping it somehow does reach fruition(along with his Escape From New York-remake).
Dash dot dot - I've a Frazetta-Artbook lying around, featuring the picture and telling it was intended as being the poster beforehand but...who knows. Maybe it was somethimg in between and they were only thinking of possibly hiring Frazetta or so...
mikethefanvoyable - I did not know that Fire and Ice-live action was even a thing...however I do not know if I really want to see that...however I'm quite sure I DON'T want to see a Plisken-Remake...there is only one Plisken!
Fair enough. Still, I for one think there's good potential in either of these possible remakes. With Fire and Ice, Rodriguez has stated he wants to do with Frank Frazetta what he did with Frank Miller in Sin City. I find that very intriguing, especially considering how he and Frazetta were close friends. You should check this out: th-cam.com/video/TfBeyP5ZiRk/w-d-xo.html
With Escape From New York, well, John Carpenter has given Robert his blessings with it, so, I think that should say plenty. That certainly wasn't the case with Rob Zombie.
My head canon is this and "Demon Knight" exist in the same universe.
One of my favorite vamp movies. First time I saw it I wasn't told what type of movie it was. That was a surprise!
Your channel is so underrated... great stuff man 👍❤️
I really love your channel and how detailed and well-researched it is. I can't believe I didn't find this channel sooner.
Brenda Hillhouse, who plays the hostage at the beginning, was also Bruce Willis character's mum in Pulp Fiction alongside Christoper Walken who played his father.
I remember this being one of the coolest Flicks of the 90s.
Ur reviews really are great for us that likes to know more about "behinde the scenes" stories in movies
one of my fav films
This is in my personal top-three favorite vampire movies (right up there with the original Fright Night and the Bela Lugosi Dracula film).
One of my favorite movies. The latter half shocked many people when it came because many thought this was going to be a gritty crime thriller.
I think people have forgotten this movie. But it's one of the best neo-grindhouse popcorn flicks ever made.
Man, another fantastic retrospective. This one actually scared the crap out of me when I first saw it back in the day. I had no idea the second half was going to turn into a horror flick and so it really caught me off guard. I think the visual effects and CG were a lot more convincing back then as well, at least to my untrained eye. Now much of it hasn't aged the best and so it's easy to see how hokey it is. Great stuff though, as you mentioned the acting is superb and the humor is often smart. I need to watch this again soon.
There are three words to describe why I love this film: Salma. Fucking. Hayek.
Easily pleased.
This movie felt more like two movies with the same characters. I found this movie to be a fun frightfest that helped revive the horror genre in the 1990's.
This movie came out when I was 16... so yeah. I was a big fan.
It's one of those things that probably shouldn't exist but Rodriguez threw a wrench in the entire formula.
HitchensImmortal u were born in 80 too huh
The turn the film takes half way through is waht makes it! I too love it when movies actually surprise me like this. It's so rare a movie takes that kind of risk.
Strongly remember going to see this at the cinema as a student and loved it. Clooney has powerful star chops and the action in the second half is utterly wild and totally goes for it. Great retrospective Oliver!
When I was young I was obsessed by this movie. My friend had it on VHS and for many years I've watched it at least couple times a year. And I'm the kind of person that doesn't enjoy rewatching movies.
One of the most complete movie review channels out there. Thanks for another great review, Oliver 👌
From Dusk till Dawn is ranked in my top 4 or 5 movies of the 90's by far. With; Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Jurassic Park and The Matrix also being in there etc. Excellent review Oliver. Don't know how or why, but who the hell could hate on your work man? 10 haters thumbed this down, to hell with them this was excellent!
and Danny Trjieo is always a good watch especially in the Matchete films.
Saw this in the cinema when it came out. Loved it. My wife at the time had no idea what it was about and sat there with her mouth hanging open when the Vampire Scenes started. Gold!!
Been wanting you to do this movie for awhile now and it did not disappoint! Excellent work!
I love your videos, I feel like I'm gaining something form them instead of wasting time. Not to mention the fact that I also have a syringe interest in movies it's good to find a channel that really digs deep into the film's history and what not.
Saw this first day it came out. Was anticipating it for months. Movie always seemed mire popular at the time even tho it didn't make a lot of money. Great review.
Best Friday Night movie ever ☠️🤙
Great retrospect of one of my favourite films. You’re so right about a Clooney; he owns this movie and it’s my favourite performance of his whole career
I love your work! Love your editing skills
i got to see this at the movies when i was 15. rated R i was excited and it delivered.
I hadn’t seen anything at all about this movie beforehand. Changing channels one day, I came upon this movie shortly after the beginning and was intrigued by seeing George Clooney playing a bad guy. When the vampire twist happened near the end, I was FLOORED! Great movie, great subversion of expectations!
Oh man I forgot how friggin cute Juliette Lewis was in this
New flavour, Apple PiiiiE pussy
Seth Gecko will always stick out in my head as an amazingly badass and cool character. Everything about him just radiates hard-boiled badassery and style.
Great choice, well done.
One of the finest retrospectives I have ever seen. I own From Dusk till Dawn on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray. When I was a teenager this was my second biggest love in movies. I watched it regularly and even could speak the dialogue along, I just couldn't get enough of it. Still today one of my absolute Favorite movies and the best performance of Clooney ever put onto film, IMO. I never really was happy with the sequels, the game nor the TV Show but somehow repected it for having at least a place in the history of everything surrounding FDTD. I guess I watch it again tonight.
My absolute favorite quote from the movie is still:
Carlos: So, what, were they psychos, or...
Seth: Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!
Always gets me hahaha ^^
Great video of one of my fave movies, bought it on vhs on release with no knowledge of the second act....was blown away. Also you have inspired me to watch again, so I'm gonna dig out the dvd and introduce my kids to something cool.
And I agree Clooney is awesome in this.
Glad you enjoyed it
i blew my beans the first time i saw this movie. loved it
I love these so much, keep up the good work : )
Fantastic retro review. One of my favorite Rodriguez's movies and some great dialogue written from QT (sic). IMO, no one writes better dialogue than him. Not a huge fan of the Machete movies but still good none the less. BUT love the Mariachi trilogy, Sin City and Planet Terror.
Ollie, i saw this when England had its first year of the celebration of cinema for over 100 years, yup when cinemas charged only £1 pound to go see a film in 1996! 1997 was an even crazier year but when i saw From Dusk till Dawn the first time they charged only a pound, it was in a super packed theater in London. TO SAY EVERYONE ENJOYED IT! Is an understatement to say the least! This is why it'll always rank as one of my best cinema going experiences, seeing a kick ass film with an excited audience, made the overall enjoyment 100x times moreso better at the end of the day. Again thank you very much, for the well researched review of the movie!
Great movie & great soundtrack. Tito & Tarantula's "After Dark" is my favorite. The intro is my ringer every October.
The documentary of the behind-the-scenes of the movie is also pretty cool... you can see the passion, the grind, and fatigue of just making it. The actors are interviewed including an extra rare Harvey Keitel one (he almost never does them). Some FDTD special edition have the 2-pack: movie & documentary. It's called "Full Tilt Boogie".
this was banned in Ireland for 8yrs 1996-2004, until it was given over 18 film certificate for the 2 disc special edition to be released: Desperado was made & released by Columbia Pictures not Miramax
been waiting for this one. great job
I love your retrospective videos. I look forward to them
The soundtrack was recently re-released on colored vinyl with updated gatefold artwork illustrated by Matt Ryan! It’s pretty easy to find as I always see it in record stores
You def encouraged me to rewatch it! I own it on DVD and it's a fav of mine. Just bought it on bluray so I can rewatch it in HD. Thanks Oliver!
Fantastic video as usual. Just to add: another founder of KNB appears in the film, Howard Berger is the vampire that bites Tom Savini on the hand. LOVE this film.
Love your retrospective reviews, still waiting for your Lost in Space review lol
Saw this during one new tears when we travelled to Florida. It was such good timing.
Great retrospectiv😀 but you forgot to talk about the dokumentry abot the film. " full tilt bogie"
Dayum you are a Boss!!! Been hoping you would do a retrospective review of this classic... Thanks brotha
I remembber renting this from Blockbusters as an add on in a 3 film deal for a weekend. I didn't know what it was and wasn't so interested in vampire movies (still not) but I realised that it was tongue in cheek and had to watch it a second time to appreciate it fully.
I seen it when it first came out, and yes it blew me away... One of my faves....
yes, thanks for reviewing this one Ollie
I listen to the soundtrack to this film quite often
Excellent work!
Oliver was speaking so fast in this video! I had to keep rewinding so that I could take in all of the information.
Great stuff! It does indeed make me want to watch it again.
You won't be sorry watching the rest of the tv series. It's ham and eggs, but the mind doesn't always require fine cuisine to be nourished. Basically it's goofy fun.
H.D Beird it seems like a sleazy cash in on the film though. no Tarantino scripts, just a bunch of random unrelated people with the From Dusk Till Dawn Title on it... but I haven't seen it though I'm just a big fan of this film.
If Salma wasn't in this film I wouldn't even own it.
Fantastic review, Oliver.
