@@SethirophBayonet666so you believe something that happened 50 years ago ? 😂 No one is defending him but I don’t think he did that only because they all claimed to be “drugged” I’m sure you not gonna remember what happened in details. And he also did drugs with them
I can't say I liked the movie, but it left an everlasting impression on me. I watched it mostly because I was a fan of Cosby's standup material. The hell imagery was the best part. The script was weak, the fashion outdated even for its time, and that one song that gets played over and over again sucks! I was in the minority back in the day in defending Cosby's understated and menacing portrayal, though. Looking back, it's the kind of performance that can only come from pure, unadulterated evil. If there is a hell, Level 4 is waiting for him.
I saw this as a kid and I thought this was fever dream. Like I get casting Bill Cosby against type because he was America’s dad but man does it age horribly with what we know now.
I was wondering if Bill Cosby did anything Disney related, especially since I've found out that Disney legend Raven-Symone got her TV debut on The Cosby Show. While I'm at it, I kind of thought that Bill Cosby was in the Nickelodeon business not just because of Little Bill, but because Nickelodeon used to show reruns of old shows that Bill Cosby stared in like The Cosby Show and the original Electric Company.
I was an extra for the motocross scenes filmed at Carlsbad Raceway. The hotel I worked maintenence at was where they stayed during filming so I went out there to check it out.
There were allegations against him in the 1990s, but Cosby and the accuser settled, so a lot of people just assumed the woman made up the story just to get money.
It didn't really "predict" anything, as predators in the entertainment industry have been around as long as the industry itself. For example, some studio exec or producer exposed himself to Shirley Temple when she was a little kid. She was so young she didn't understand what was going on and laughed at him.
As a kid I watched that with my mom. She certainly found it good. We watched almost all of the Disney life action movies of the 60s and 70s. Most were weak and forgetable for a 10 to 13 kid like me. But I loved a few for many years: "That Darn Cat" with Roddy McDowell, "Three Lives of Thomasina", '75's "Escape to Witch Mountain", "Million Dollar Duck" the "Benji" films, 63's "The Incredible Journey" and many of these nature "documentaries" that meanwhile turned out to have been scripted reality flicks - with the difference that the "actors'' couldn’t read their contracts and had to do all the stunts by themselves that often ended in death. Thank goodness I had no idea about that as a child 😬😱💔
I barely remember the movie, but I LOVED the song at the end, Roses and Rainbows. I really thought that girl would be the next great singer. Still on my play list ☺️
I was born in the seventies so I remember all these 80s Disney flicks from seeing them on rental videocassettes back in the day. Most of them were fairly average. I remember being bored by this one - the girl singer's "hit" song really got on my nerves. Not one of Marvin Hamlisch's best tunes! The old demon dude in the big chair in the hell scene is played by Reggie Nalder - he played the vampire in Salem's Lot which came out around that time. All the same it's good to see someone covering this era of the Disney studio. I just came across this channel and am enjoying the content. The Condorman episode brought back memories - I still have an ancient betamax video somewhere of that one! Looking forward to your future vids!
I saw this in theaters as a kid. The devil scene freaked me the hell out...BUT overall it was a good flick. Despite the mess that came out about him, back in the day Cos was the shit
As a kid, I remember when this movie came out in theaters. And at the same time, there was a song called 'Somebody's Knocking' by Terri Gibbs, which I thought was on the soundtrack. I guess not.
I've always liked this movie. I was in high school working in a movie theater when it was released. I watched it several times (gotta love the second showing), and it really stood out from the rest. I'd see it from time to time over the years, and I appreciated it more over the years. It was a refreshing change from the cloying persona Bill Cosby had cultivated by that time (I truly hated the Jello Pudding Pops ads, seriously, ugh). I never really took to him, but I think this is one of his best performances. It probably wasn't their intention, but it's a nice addition to the dark comedy genre. I think Julie Budd should have been a bigger star, but the ubiquitous comparisons to Barbra Streisand at the beginning of her career may have ultimately worked against her. The controversy about its content ultimately led Disney to form both Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures as avenues for distribution of more mature content. Great video, thanks for bringing this movie to light.
I completely disagree. This is one of Disney's most underrated live action movies and it deserves more respect from the company, even with Bill Cosby in it! 😉
"I wanted to do this role that would normally be cast with a white actor." Yeah, because most studios would interpret Satan as a black guy to be kinda racist. Reminds me of when the NAACP were upset that not enough black actors were in Planet of the Apes (yes, seriously).
you know it was actually a good movie. Elliott Gould was actually very good in it. I dont know how you criticize it. i really dont like your sarcastic comments. it was a good movie at the time.
I wish people would stop listening to Hollywood and the Media for information on Cosby. Another thing: I think it's interesting how so many people who were so vocal and outspoken against him, ended up getting their karma. The latest one is Tom Scocca, a former Gawker journalist, who helped launch his downfall. He recently came down with an autoimmune disease.
Boy, this movie predicted where Cosby's career would end up in.
Ahead of its time in all the wrong ways...
Yeah. I’m actually quite pissed that people are still defending Cosby. He did what he did.
Satan 👺👹😈👿🤬😡

Yeah well the Cosby show is still streaming and I watch it his career is retired😂
The chessboard make-out scene with the kid smiling under them made me audibly react.
Loudly and with great disgust, fear, and confusion.
Definitely peak cringe

Totally impossible not to filter Cosby's great performance in this through recent events. You're right though - the scenes in Hell STILL hold up!
The Cat from Outer Space is awesome and I will die on that hill.
Love that movie.
Bill Cosby is like grandpa.
I don't want to remember grandpa.
Crazy Grandpa Billy and his pudding pops
I watched the VHS tape of this movie so many times as a kid. Never met anyone else that even heard of it. It was such a weird film.
Ha! Welcome to the channel...
I grew up watching this film. It was hilarious and scary, as I was a kid around the age of the kids in the film.
Woah! Yeah, I could totally see how this would be frightening to a kid.
I just discovered your channel, awesome stuff. Your dry sense of humor is right up my alley.
Awesome! So glad to hear it!
"Hell is where we meet Bill Cosby..."

I WAS AN EXTRA IN THAT MOVIE. ONE OF THE MX RIDERS FILMED AT INDIAN DUNES.
No way! That's awesome!

This movie can be hard to watch since the number of scandals of bill Cosby came to light in 2014.
True story
There were allegations against him in the 1990s, but Cosby and the accuser settled, so a lot of people just assumed the woman made up the story just to get money.
Boy, what I would give to see modern Disney try to remake this one!
Not my soul, though. ;)
I’d call it retry instead of remake or reboot just for them to learn their mistakes from this one
This movie predicted many of all these so called contract entertainers

The devil is the one that explained the rules. Why would you (or scuzzy landlord) believe him?

Thanks! So glad to hear that you've been enjoying everything so far! Definitely more to cover on Disney's A New Look era
This is a pretty cool channel concept, your videos are pretty great, you sir, have a subscriber.
Thanks so much!
Absolute gem of a channel glad I found it
I'm glad you found it too!
I saw this in theaters as a kid. The devil scene freaked me the hell out...BUT overall it was a good flick. Despite the mess that came out about him, back in the day Cos was the shit
Yeah - it's easy to forget how real deal Cosby was back then
When you think about it, between this, Leonard Part VI, and Ghost Dad, Bill Cosby's film career was kind of abysmal
Don't forget Meteor Man!
Raindrops and roses!! That's what I remember
As a kid, I remember when this movie came out in theaters. And at the same time, there was a song called 'Somebody's Knocking' by Terri Gibbs, which I thought was on the soundtrack. I guess not.
Just wanted to say, I'm loving your videos and rooting for your channel to gain viewers and be successful.
Thanks so much! It's always so great to hear that people are enjoying my content. Lots more to come!
Turns out, the Devil was in Bill Cosby.
Bro, I just binged a lot of your content and by God, it's truly enjoyable. You earned my sub and I can't wait for more of your content 😌🙏🏾
I'm so happy to hear this! Lots more incoming!
A cat from outer space is underrated ❤
0:04-That was the last Jello pudding!!
Seen this film back in the 80’s loved it and the video and movie poster in my collection to this day

Hillarious!
Thanks!
I liked this film even if Cosby was in it. Its a different film for disney. the music was good and the ending was somewhat happy.
Definitely a different kind of Disney film
The plot of this movie is somewhat similar to the 1946 movie Angel on My Shoulder.
Corrupting innocent souls.
Modern Disney in a nutshell.
"I wanted to do this role that would normally be cast with a white actor."
Yeah, because most studios would interpret Satan as a black guy to be kinda racist. Reminds me of when the NAACP were upset that not enough black actors were in Planet of the Apes (yes, seriously).
Definitely a different time...
Great Review! Don’t got to watch it now I don’t really like devil movies just was interested in the movie story line.
Well can we agree this was an original idea?
Oh, it was definitely an original and inspired idea
This aged like milk
Loved this movie
Well, it WAS better than Little Nicky, but not even Bill Cosby can make the Devil believable.
Hilarious comedy disney needs to chill
Phenomenal movie
He made dirty money for dirty companies.
Disney knew Cosby was not a good guy
you know it was actually a good movie. Elliott Gould was actually very good in it. I dont know how you criticize it. i really dont like your sarcastic comments. it was a good movie at the time.
Sounds like epstien with the kids. Wow!

Cosby is a sex offender you defending him is gross.
