Chris Stuckmann reviews Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure. - บันเทิง
Imagine being the kid actor and being told you have been cast in the new Star Wars movie and then it turns out to be this
Holy crap I've never though of that
Imagine making a main Star Wars movie and it's Rotten Tomatoes score ends up being the same as this movies. Last Jedi 44%, this movie 44%
@@_Feanor_. Noooooo!!! lol
@The Pasty British Guy From Wonderwoman Which is the one that actually matters. They are the ones paying their money to see these films.Professional critics are not. And they sometimes need to be careful not to offend certain groups for fear of backlash. Imagine offending the feminist/SJW crowd in todays age. Some people do because they don't give a fuck, but others don't want that in their life, so they go out of their way to make sure it doesn't happen. Or they shill a certain movie, because they want to remain in the good graces of companies and keep the access that they have. That's a sad truth. Just look at other jobs that get access to movie productions. Can you imagine if somebody invited to a press tour, where reporters sit down with actors from the movie to answer them question in order to promote the film, asked some really uncomfortable question. Like "So Daisy (Daisy Ridley, actress that plays Rey), how come Rey can use the Jedi Mind trick that Luke had to train years to use, an hour after she finds out she even has the force. What's up with that?". I doubt that question would be allowed in the first place. But lets say someone went off script, got the footage out and released it. You think that person ever gets asked back for another press tour by Lucasfilm and perhaps Disney in general? I don't. The only time seemingly uncomfortable questions are asked, is because the movie studio side wants that. Like asking Daisy about the Ma-Rey Sue thing. Because they want to respond to that. It's pre planned.
Normal viewers have none of that baggage. For the most part you get an honest overlook about how they feel. And a professional critic is not more qualified to begin with. They are professionals because someone pays them, that's all. They didn't all study film and have their own experiences how to make or write a film.
For example. Ghostbusters 2016. The audince score is 50%, the critics score is 74% on rotten tomatoes. Do you think that movie is a 7,5 out of 10?
Ghostbusters 2 has 61% from the audience and 53% from critics. So that 2016 Ghostbusters movie was supposedly better than Ghostbusters 2, according to the critics. But the fans see it the other way around. I agree with the fans.
Or this recent Dave Chappelle special story. critics nuked it because he dared to be politically incorrect, while fans enjoyed it. On the other end of the spectrum some Rian Johnson Clue remake with an all white cast got 100% from critics because it was against the MAGA crowd etc (why rate a movie on the acting, plot, writing when you can just rate it on the political message).
Point being, you can't trust critics, while the audience is like taking a large poll.
@The Pasty British Guy From Wonderwoman There will be those. You failed to mention that it goes in either directions of the extreme spectrum however. While there will be those complaining about the tiniest crap, there will also be those that praise it for the tiniest crap. Which in the end gives it some balance.
But it comes down to sample size, right. I'd rather take the overall average rating of 50000 or so people, than the average of 30 critics. The larger the sample size, the more accurate and representative the result is gonna be.
And that's only how well received a movie is after the fact. I'd never look at reviews of anyone to decide if I should go see a certain movie. I can make my own opinion after seeing it.
Ewok's were the Minion's of the 80's apparently.
YEAP !!!
The apostrophe is the way to pluralize words in 2017!
@Chick Magnet Joe Yep and True and I Love DM Fims In 2010s
Its like a weird national geographic documentary in the star wars universe
Rameses III should have been narrated by Sir David Attenborough
Bravo! It is now my head-canon that this two films are national geographic documentaries about Ewoks in the Star Wars universe. I mean that this two films exist in the Star Wars universe as films of the style of a national geographic documentaries.
I think that's precisely why I LOVE it so much!?
I grew up with Caravan of Courage and really liked it. I have unironic nostalgia for it.
NICE MOVIE.
What is this "UNI RONIC"?
Yep, it's not that good of a movie.....but a sentimental attachment can be a powerful thing.
@@nathanielseymour8108 To be honesty there's no such thing as a "good" or "bad" movie. It's all subjective to the individual.
Same, I watched it when I was about 6 years old and loved it as much as ROTJ.
Somehow I aquired both films as a kid. for years I suspected I was living in some boring creepypasta where no one else had ever heard of this.
I saw both movies when I was an '80s kid in the '80s with a mullet, so don't beat yourself up. XD
Man me too!!! Lol I knew met two other people in my life who remember it Hahahaha!
@@rebelspark86 I'm not ashamed to admit that Teek was my fave.
@@judsongaiden9878 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that wild boar bear creatures pretty bad ass too lol
Same but the ewok tv show.
8:52 HEY LOOK WHAT I GOT!
LMAO
God Damn, that face was Denny levels of creepy
That smile.
That damn smile.
I CANT STOP LAUGHING
THATS A MEME
It's not a Star Wars marathon unless you include this one!
And the 2nd movie, Battle of Endor.
I'm one of those people that watched this as a kid, so I have nostalgia for these movies. I know they are bad, but I enjoy them.
I ALSO !!!
Star Joes me too. They were magical as a kid. It’s sad to see an adult give it so much grief because they didn’t get to appreciate it with child eyes (if that makes sense)
I think its impressive for a 80s tv budget movie
So it's Ewoks and a couple kids getting high on DMT and shrooms in the woods.
Hi Jeff
Jeff phillips its like poetry, it rhymes
Joe Rogan? Is that you?
On the bright side, the special effects and costumes look really good for television.
You're drunk? It looks shit. I never understood how can people like the very obvious verty crappy puppet wars. Seriously, puppets? Fuck off George you're not only drunk you're high as well.
Captain Poop you are wrong about this.
@@CaptainPupu Have you ever head of context of era? It's the general rule that you shouldn't judge something from the past by today's standards. Back then, stop motion, puppets, and rear projection were the state of the art VFX methods, so to criticise them today is like criticising a cowboy from 1878 for using a horse instead of a car.
@@hotwot8484 yes, because unblinking gaping eye'd ewoks who speak without actually moving their lips is fantastic.
As a kid, I was obsessed with this movie and was both excited and dreading watching this review. A lot of the criticism is pretty dead on, even from a die-hard fan. The guy who plays Mace is one of the worst actors I've seen outside of porn and yeah, the scene with the runaway horse was pointless. But, you forgot to highlight the things that it does get right. The ewoks convey emotion well even under the fur outfits, the music is epic and exciting, many of the special effects are practical and hold up better than they might have, and I think that the world that was created felt immersive; it never felt like actors hammering out a quick cash-grab on a set.
STILL THEY ARE NICE MOVIES !!!
I feel like the runaway horse scene was a way for them to build up Chuka-Trokh and Mace's friendship, since even though he had just tried getting him out of the water, he failed and it required Wicket's magic stick. If you pay attention, you will notice that the writers try very hard to make all of the major Ewoks contribute to the journey in some way so as not to feel pointless.
@@yarpen26 The script needed another two months of scathing internal criticsm and revision. The weakest parts of this feel (to me now as an adult) like last-minute storyboard add-ins to make the length that TV sponsors needed.
Oh yes, nostalgia 😭 my sister and I used to watch this all the time. We have the DVDs now. I appreciate your review LOL, but this film will always have a special place in my heart.
SAME HERE !!!
Lol the stones crushing the ewok was actually good XD
Chris Stuckmann = Great Video
i mean i would normaly agree. except you never watched it when you replied.
Always
no has no value of watching for channel awesome standards. But then again channel awesome is not doing that good which means.....?
Epic Music Movie exactly
This video wasn't great
I thought the ewoks were awesome. My mom made me a full blown ewok costume when I was a kid. I'd play in the woods as a ewok all day.
SAME HERE !!!
Ewok costume. That's awesome.
You must have been a very happy child
@@forcedadventure ewoks...are lame
@@nikkio.9990 I had a full ewok costume also, for Halloween when I was in about 3rd grade or so. My mom had made a bear costume for some school play and I got her to make a new head for it. I made the clothes and a staff. Good memories.
This movie made perfect sense to me ... when I was seven. I'm guessing it might be a bit more wtf-y in my 40s. But the nostalgia factor is *very* high. Watching this and its sequel with my dad on television when I was a kid was a big highlight.
SAME HERE !!!
same here. this movie makes perfect sense in the context of 1980s family tv movies. i dont think stuckman gets that :-/
shimshimma he did acknowledge the nostalgia factor for the older audience.
Review The Punisher.
Joseph Ellis the show
I’d like to see him review the 2004 one
The show was so good!
e val79 ikr it’s my favorite
e val79 I think it's funny that they made the punisher who should be a cold killing machine a more human and more interesting superhero than any of the other marvel shows. This show is just the best
So... This canon?
jake gonwa Unfortunately, and KOTOR isn't
It's not canon anymore.
jake gonwa No its part of the Legends Continuity like what Ebber said its part of the original non-canon EU not the Canon EU
Bunch of Fucking nerds.
I am sorbitol, Maltitol, xylitol, mannitol, Calcium And Whats Wrong With Nerds Were Smart Lol
I enjoyed it as a kid. I wouldn't call it nostalgic, but yes, when the first time you saw it was back in the 90s on rerun, yes, it was pretty good.
Funny to see you commenting on a Stuckmann video. I like it.
Same. I liked Battle for Endor way more. Now as an adult it is obvious why. Remember back when liking a movie or not wasn't political?
The eight year old girl in me still loves the Ewok movies.
I ALSO !!!
3:12 = Star Wars universe has...horses...
It's also got humans
5:14 also apparently owls. So does that make owls an alien species?
There's some dumb "canon" in the later expanded universe stuff I think that states some people from future Earth ended up going back in time to the galaxy far away and that's how Humans got there.
Paul Singam Episode 1 actually but still a prequel movie
And magic powers that don't come from the Force.
Just realised how similar the spider scene in this movie to LOTR ROTK Shelob scene. I guess Peter Jackson likes Ewoks.
"...then Wicket fucking shanks a spider."
dude kinda looks like luke though
*[Patiently waiting for The Punisher review.]*
Now I feel old. I remember watching this as a kid!
Looking forward to the Battle for Endor review xD
STILL......................THEY ARE NICE MOVIES !!!
Still a better story than Twilight. I remember the Battle for Endor as a kid, can't wait to see how bad it is as an adult.
OMG i remember this movie. I used to watch it a bunch of times. This is and the Battle for Endor.
NICE !!!
I never knew this atrocity could exist in this timeline.
What if I told you something worse existed? Something Star Wars related
Justin Young Man I'm seeing you absolutely everywhere, are you a genie or somthing?
Believe it or not, I was SO excited for this as a kid. And I even convinced my parents to fire up dad's hi-fi so we could listen to the Stereoooo Simulcaaaaaast over the radio! So it would sound like a "real movie"...in our own home! Anyway, I quickly forgot about it. :P But...I think we get to see some actual combat in the next exciting installment (Battle of Endor). As in, I think they find an old ship and it has a gun on it. And they shoot it. Once. Or maybe twice. Oops. "Spoiler Alert". Or something. heheheheh ;) :P
I just gave the 111. like to your comment.
Justin Young like ghost in the shell lol
Real talk, when is the Porg movie coming
In a few years, it will be the first official star wars porno, a Porgo if you will.
Danbo 22 Soon to a theater near you!
LOL Greetings from Mexico. Here in my country the TV film was actually released on cinemas EVERYWHERE. I remember watching it with my family as a kid and it was a blast. Of course, I was like 9 years old back then and everything Star Wars was (IS) awesome for me...
KronnangDunn claro que sí mi hermana y mis primos lo vieron.
I didn't remember how much of discount Luke Skywalker that one looks like to be. Not only his face and hair but also his outfit looks a lot like Rebel Pilot flight suit.
I grew up with the Ewok movies... and yes.. I not mentally stable.
Tomanista I imagine you're being sarcastic but, I fucking loved this movie when I was little. I was really afraid of water and spiders. So, when the kid can't come up for air and later when the giant spider attacks? Yeah, I was scarred. Saw this before I even knew what Star Wars was...
Hey
That scene with the kid underwater still haunts me to this day, and I saw this movie when it aired originally. I don't remember any other scene. Maybe that's why I never learned how to swim...
I will ask you to review "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" every video until you do- #1
Shut up
Shit up
I cried gangsta tears and poured out a 40 when my man the lumberjack Ewok died... ~_~
That came out as a movie (not for TV), at least in France, I remember when this came out at my local theatre.
Are you going to review the Punisher?
Nicolas Cage he said he will in the twitter a day ago, I think. He said that he's on episode 7.
Review netflix punisher
69th like, oh and plz review punisher
LMFAO, what a transition
I agree with Chris. That's why I have a very strict two episode limit with Stranger Things (I broke it once)
I saw this with my best friend when we were about 8 years old (1984). I actually remember this being a really good movie from my then perspective. I loved the ewoks and they were my favorite part of Return of the Jedi.
SAME HERE !!!
I watched this film on TV here in Brazil in the 80´s. Many years later I talked about it with some friends and we all had the same memory, that somehow the kids were from planet Earth. We don´t know why we all had this memory, but what we think happened is that brazilian TV invented that in the dubbing process, of something.
Same here! Plus, I absolutely loved this movie. The scene when the boy gets zapped underwater terrified me for YEARS.
Me too. I can’t remember if I watched it on TV, I guess my father used to rent it. I didn’t even knew it was in the Star Wars universe, I think I was 5. I had this blurred memory of these kids that were from earth lost in this Ewok planet. When I watched Return of the Jedi, I was confused because I remembered Ewoks were from this other movie I used to watch as a child.
This came out when I was 6. Thought it was amazing. Taped it off tv and watched it with my sisters over and over again. I think I even got to the point where I could say all the dialogue along with the movie, even the Ewok dialogue. (And there was no backlash against the Ewoks with my friends in 1984)
NICE MOVIES !!!
Stuckmann not only completely disregarded how the Ewoks were a huge hit with the merchandise, but also how memes weren't really around back in the 1980s. There was no consensus on any movie, apart from some narrow circles of die hard fans perhaps. Most people at best discussed cinema with their close buddies and few read any reviews.
I remember seeing this as a child on TV. Always thought I had imagined it
Holy shit same for me couldnt find this movie for the longest time
"It's like _Lord of the Rings_ *expect* not good!" - Chris Stuckmann's TL;DW thoughts on _Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure_ in the year 2017. Now, print that on the back of the movie's DVD box!
I like this movie, it has heart. I like the fairy and the magical items and the monsters a goodie.
ME TOO !!!
I love coming back and watching Chris’s reviews of these. His reactions to both Ewok movies are great 😄
I actually saw battle for endor as a kid but then never saw any references to it as an adult and therefore thought it was a weird nostalgia dream.. But you're telling me that shit actually happened? Oh god...
This honestly made my day. I watched these as a kid, and I’m so happy you’re reviewing them. My mom got me the dvd when I was younger and I think I probably still have it. I am aware how awful they are, but I think the second one is worse from what I remember, so you’re in for some fun.
For kids in the 80's this movie was great television. You correctly said it was a pretty weak product, but it was so cool when I was 7. The hippy influence is what made star wars awesome.
YEAP !!!
You can't look at this with adult eyes. As a kid I loved these movies.
yep same here
Well you must have been a very lame kid with very bad taste because this movies is trash
@@OfficialDJTasawennateken dude it was 1985 or something, there was 3 TV channels. Troll much?
@@OfficialDJTasawennateken and it's 'THESE' movies not 'THIS' , learn how to write
it would be either 'this movie is trash' or 'these movies are trash'. You're welcome.
How dare Chris Stuckman!!!! This was the most amazing adventure when I was 10 years old. (Pauses for a moment realizing how old he is). Ok!!! Chris Stuckman, you make great points, but nostalgia is nostalgia and I'll be dammed if you ruin mine!!!!
YOU ARE RIGHT !!!
Glad to see you watched the review
i liked the horses...
PREACH BROTHER
I loved this movie as a kid
SAME HERE !!!
I've never understood why ewoks are so hated.
ME NEITHER !!!
Come on it's so obvious
We had both the Ewok Adventures released in the cinema here in New Zealand... and yes, I did go to see them because Star Wars.
I remember this, I was about the same age as the little girl when it aired, and I'm pretty sure we taped it off of tv. Fond memories, but I certainly wouldn't watch it again. (That giant scared the crap out of me as a kid though!)
NICE MOVIE !!!
I have a shamefully large amount of nostalgia for this movie.
I ALSO !!!
I remember one of the movies. A scene where some kid gets stuck underwater - The surface of the water acts solid from underneath or something and they have to use some stick to get him out.
I grew up with this flim, though I think ive only watched the fallowing one once
My dad saw the film in South Africa at a drive in cinema
where exactly ?
introverted guy in South Africa
can you tell me more i would like to find it
Cape Town I'm pretty sure
thanks what year was he there ?
Such nostalgia for these. I feel like this is a fair practical reaction though from anyone who did not have the fond memories of watching this as a kid. Nice review. Can't wait for the Battle for Endor review
SAME !!!
God dam Chris you make so awesome reviews love all your videos much respect
I really loved that Movies when I was a small Boy. A classic Example how Things change from awesome to ridiculous when growing up :/
YOU HAVE THE POINT !!!
The Ewoks were very popular with kids in the 1980s because they did the 2 live action TV movies plus they did 2 seasons of an animated Ewoks TV series. There was also an icecapades show that toured the US which featured Ewoks as well. Caravan of Courgae is a bore, I like the Gorax stuff. The second film is a lot of fun though in my opinion.
YOU ARE RIGHT !!!
Chris can you do a review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri?
Charlie Scott I have to see that movie, seen the trailers and I’ve been meaning to watch it!
And The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Last Flag Flying and The Florida Project and Wonderstruck and Only the Brave?
Charlie Scott BTW Three Billboards is THE best film of 2017. It’s even better than Dunkirk.
This movie had a theatrical release here in Australia. 11 year old me was there and I have to admit quite enjoyed it at the time.
Chris you're the man but stay away from my ewok movies! 👊
YES !!!
Keep em
Holy crap! I remember this movie! We actually watched in class one time, when we had a substitute teacher on a rainy day. I totally forgot about it.
I remember those since i was 13-14 in 84 so i had those on VHS and like you bought them on the same dvd edition as you... i watched them once!! LOL
NICE MOVIES !!!
Chris, I had almost completely forgotten about this until your review.
You now owe me for all the shock therapy I'll have to go through to forget Caravan of Courage again.
Damn you....
Your Hilariocity videos are my favorite of yours. Your comedy is great
Review Spaceballs?
"I'm surrounded by assholes, Keep Firing Assholes!"
Chris hasn't reviewed every Star Wars Movie yet
He hasn't reviewed Spaceballs
For a tv movie, it looks really great though.
YEAP !!!
Oh man! The 'tinker bells' loved your description of that part!
That giant probably could have helped against those at-st in ROJ
Battle for Endor is my jam. Wilford Brimley is a gansta.
Diabeetus
He made oatmeal and diabetes sexy.
also while still disjointed and poorly paced at least you get a couple plot progression points and some cool battles. significantly better than caravan.
Hmmm I've been wondering, have you ever seen "A Monster Calls"? It's a fairly underrated movie from 2016, one of my favorite movies from that year actually.
Da Dragon Durp yeah, really good movie
That was a beautiful movie. It dealt with basically growing up and facing reality in a poignant sensitive way.
Da Dragon Durp Hi there.
I've seen the movie. It was incredibly heartbreaking.
Ghoul Dash A Monster Calls was good, it made me cry a little.
I grew up with this movie.
ME TOO !!!
I suddenly realized I had seen this before the moment he mentioned the parents were captured by some giant called the Gorax. I still remember none of it, but I know I've seen it before. Same feeling I had when I rediscovered that straight to VHS Magic Island movie.
Well it sucks to be u
waiting for the black Friday video
????
The one with ice cube and Chris tucker ?
Nice profile pic
I watched these when I was a kid... And I loved them! xD
ME TOO !!!
I had almost forgotten this existed...
Props to you for even knowing it existed to begin with.
Maybe it's because I had the cartoons on VHS but all the while I was watching, I got so excited - ohhh, I know this Ewok character! I know this one too! What was his name again? Oh! Master Logray!
NICE !!!
still waiting for Black Friday video and the Punisher S1 review
Why are there so many creatures on Endor that you could find on Earth? I remember seeing this as a kid and it bugged me even then. It's an alien planet, showing me a mouse or a horse or an owl is only going to kill that illusion.
Im one of the kids of the 80's that loves these movies for nostalgic purposes. I must have watched them at least 10 times each as a kid. I still have the VHS tapes. Ive studied film and to be honest I've not seen them in at least 17 years. I should rewatch!
NICE MOVIES !!!
This was a review I simply could have gone without. Your great but even you couldn’t keep my eyes and ears from burning and make it stop.
Myself being an 80s kid.. love these two movies.. yes they are bad but in a good way. It is nostalgia and I take pride knowing that these hipsters that claim to love SW have never heard of these films. I too own the DVD and watch them every time I run the Lucas race.
YEAP !!!
I actually liked this as a child.
ME TOO !!!
Yea this was the one
Your face in the thumbnail looks like when you're at your friend's house and they start arguing with their parents
The only thing I remember from a movie with ewoks is a kid trapped in a cave with a ewok and the use bones and cloth to make a hang glider.
As a kid in the 80s, I loved this completely. The nostalgia still wins out against the adult eyes, though I acknowledge the problems.
Well wouldnt the magical ewok just be a jedi?
Still has a more original story than the Force Awakens
YOU ARE RIGHT !!!
I was 8 when this premiered, and I unabashedly loved it. Even know I can't bring myself to dislike it. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
This was actually shown in movie theaters in the Philippines. I remember seeing it when I was about 12 years old with a friend of mine. I think it was the 1st time I saw a movie without my parents. So the event is memorable for me and I have some nostalgia for this.
SAME HERE !!!
I unironically like this movie just for the nostalgia. I remember The Battle for Endor being way better. Let's see how it holds up.
BACK THEN..........THEY WERE GREAT !!!
Oh man I totally forgot about those two films. It's just as painful watching the clips now as it was watching the films when they first aired. Your review was definitely on point for this one. Looking forward to what you have for part two. I want to hear your thoughts about the first 10-15 minutes of Battle for Endor especially.
I remember as a young youngling in the 90s, one of these was playing on a TV in an RV when i was on some roadtrip with my grandparents.
but I never saw anything or heard anyone ever talk about it again. until like a couple years ago.
for the longest time, I thought I just dreamed the whole thing up
NICE MOVIES !!!
Not a great film granted but it's still better than a lot of current comic book movies
POINT THERE !!!
I watched this as a kid, so I get the nostalgia
ME TOO !!!
Omg me too
I still maintain that Lucas made these movies primarily as a 'fantasy' test-bed for making Willow which he had Ron Howard direct 3 years later, with the additional bonus that it was a way he could continue to sell off surplus Ewok teddy bears to us young, impressionable 80s youngsters who didn't know any better.
EWOKS ARE JUST NICE !!!
My sister and I used to watch the first Ewok movie all the time when we were children in the 90's at our grandparents house, who I guess had taped it off TV. But damn, it was somethin' when you're a kid.
YOU ARE RIGHT !!!
