Somebody needs to make a movie called "Mutant Insectoid" and have it be about a blue monkey.
“His bones are dissolving and flooding his circulatory system.”
So his bones are becoming liquid and filing his lungs, heart, and throat drowning him to death while stopping his heart and crushing his veins, that’s extremely gruesome
This can actually happen when exposed to Hydrofluoric acid. It penetrates the skin and starts to dissolve the calcium out of the bones and into the bloodstream. Imagine having kidney stones but instead of forming in your kidneys they form inside the blood vessels of your heart, lungs, and brain... Yeah, not quite as metal as your description, but still pretty metal.
@@rossracing6433 that's nightmare materials
Jesus christ
Don’t say his hallowed name in vain, say holy f*cking sh*t instead.
Jesus fuck i never thought that far into that line but jesus that fucking gruesome
I'm so pleased for Brandon... I've followed him for a number of years now.. and I'll tell you... Watching him go from 4,000 to 20,000 then 75,000 to now 176,000! It really brings a smile to my face the guy put so much hard work in he deserved some success.
My favorite snarky, bass playing Canadian!!!🙏👍👻
212k followers in 2022, Brandon is still going strong!
Been here since 20k, it's been an amazing ride, and probably my favorite TH-camr tbh.
224k in 2023. Still excited each time a video pops up on the feed.
239k at the very end of 2023! Here's hoping another 100k by the end of 2024
Brandon I can't thank you enough for covering this movie. When I was a small child on holiday I happened to see a few moments of a horror movie on the TV in the bar at our hotel. My parents hurried me away, clearly believing I was too young to see such things. But the weird images stayed with me for years as a deep seated desire to find out what else happened in that movie I only ever saw a few seconds of. I've spent more than twenty five years wondering what that movie was, unable to place it without a name or anything else to go by but those vividly remembered moments of film. But now I know. The movie was this one, specifically I had seen the scene where they are trying to autopsy the insect larvae and for some reason it sparks when cut into and they slam a cover over it. Now I can finally rest easy, you've literally answered one of the great and enduring questions of my life, what the hell was that film.
Joseph Potter so this was where all you’re weird fetishes came from
🌈The more you know!
One of my favourite aspects of youtube. . . I love the fact that he shows the cover art, so many years spent scouring the horror section of my local vid store, but there was still plenty i never watched, but remembered the cover art to. . . This has helped tremendously cross referencing 80s/90s practical effect horror with ones i have seen. . . Ive ticked off well over 100+ movies this year that i never thought id even remember, let alone track down online and watch
Theres still 3 films like that for me
Dude I hate when that happens. When I was like 4 my dad was flipping through the channels and I seen a few seconds of a guy pushing down another guy into a shaft into a rock crusher I think it was, never figured out what movie it was. Been wondering for 27 years lol
"What are you in for?"
"Leukemia."
I laughed way harder than I should have
"About as likely to get a sequel as Godzilla 1998!"
Oh, look, the animated tv series is on.
Huh, that would actually be pretty cool. Especially if they alos made an Eight Legged Freaks animated series, then created a crossover movie..
Yay the animated series!

Wow, not only are there multiple Kennys, but the Kennys are directly responsible for the monster.
And they get away scot free.
Karma Houdini indeed.
well they die so not really
Long Live Kenny's and children!!
Don't blame the kids, blame the adults for leaving a murder bug and a growth hormone completely unattended, and letting kids wander into the X ray room.
Darn, I would’ve thought Canadian monster movies were too polite to include Kennies.
The script originally made a connection between the "green monkey" (African-based) that supposedly/might've/was rumored to have caused/be behind etc the whole AIDS epidemic, who had a genetic "cousin" (the blue monkey) from which sprang/sprung/sprouted and/or etc a mutated version of the virus, the DNA/RNA or whatever of which was transported to the US possibly carried on a plant, which led to the giant insect critter being born, if one were to continue the story from only the point the old guy pricks his finger at the beginning. But the producers deleted that big part of the backstory, yet had to retain the title for legal reasons (or laziness?)....Well, that actually IS what I remember from being around when the creature costume was being made by a couple friends of mine at the time. I had the script, but it had already gone thru a re-write when I read it, that pretty much eliminated the whole "monkey thing" (both green and blue) from the story. There was fear of the AIDS connection, that that connection might hurt the film at the boxoffice! (I think the producers were worried about the wrong thing, instead of worrying if their story made sense. They might've better spent some money on a better script. Oh, and some light bulbs!)
Steve Railsback has the unique distinction of playing 2 of the US' most iconic maniacs: Charles Manson and Ed Gein

Plus he was The Stuntman (1980)!!
The 1998 Godzilla DID show up in another godzilla movie...for about 45 seconds before Godzilla kicked its ass.
Caboose 92m Godzilla Final Wars
*O* *o* *F*
@Camyboy 10833 Ide I think they said that they thought godzilla attacked new York but it wasn't him. Gozilla 98 is officially called Zilla by Toho, becase they to the god out of it.
That marathon curbstomp in final wars was pretty damn awesome
They also declared him an inferior clone made by Aliens in Final Wars and used lower quality CGI for it.
Fun fact: The Beastie Boys original title was 'Blue Monkey' but when they learned this movie was already with that title, it became 'Brass Monkey' instead. We dodged a bullet there.
That's "they".
Dodged one for sure...Brass Monkey!!!🙏🥃🙈🙉🙊

An insane asylum that holds a super high tech basement for government experiments? Did Red Barrel Games watch this movie and say, "GENIUS!!!!"
"Blue Monkey" sounds a lot like a street name for a drug.

The old lady at the beginning of the movie was wearing blue and she was monkeying around with evil mutant plants!
seesar0008 or a gay bar.
The title 'Blue Monkey' makes me think of "Looney Tunes Back in Action".
Yea lol Steve Martin
So am I
***** what was that?
Andrew Gan A line from the movie
DeepEye1994 which movie?
Wait they said the creature is a hermaphrodite, but then suddenly, there is a male and female monster too???
this is a little late but....
hermaphrodites are creatures that are born either male or female as their "dominate gender" but have both male and female genitals and can use both of them, however they still need a mate to reproduce and cannot self inseminate.
most hermaphroditic animals par up and dual to see who gets to be the male and who gets to be the female.
it's commonly misunderstood by people and confused for asexuality
to sum it up
hermaphrodite = Needs a mate to have babies, but can chose if it's the father or mother in the situation
Asexual = Can literally f**k itself and make babies without needing anyone else
@@davidfalloutbandit some of the times, they don't choose to be the mother. Case in point a species of saltwater flat worms engage in penis jousting, where the loser who gets stabbed by one of their opponents penises is forced to be the mother.
Are you assuming the monsters gender? Shame on you.. There are countless genders, just ask Treudeu.
@@davidfalloutbandit wrong, they don't necessarily have both genitals, just both organs ( ovaries or testicles). That's the common form of a hermorphdite. It's even more rare than having the condition itself, to have a penis and vagina. That is ultra, ultra rare. And no, they can't use both. I'm talking humans here. Some animals are the exeption. Seahorses for example. Several reptiles.
@@richardroberts4355 Nobody was talking about humans
So uh *smacks my lips*, how the fuck does a plant infect someone with an insect egg?
I'm surprised that Brandon made no mention in his Canuxsploitation-a-thon anything about Canada's rich history with giant rat movies. If there was a bad, low budget, horror film with giant rats it was probably filmed in Toronto. Food Of The Gods, Food Of The Gods II, Deadly Eyes, Ben, Willard, and Of Unknown Origin were some of Canada's giant rat movies of old. I was hoping for one in his series, but not even a mention of them in his commentary. I'm especially partial because my mother was a non-speaking extra in Deadly Eyes and the mayor who died on the subway train was played by my brother's college professor from Vancouver University.
This is basically a Garth Marenghi's Darkplace episode XD
This movie needs Thornton Reed!
I'll get a mop.
That kid reminds me of the one from Night of the Lepus. She never faced what she did either.
Or the kid in "Madman" who brings Madman Marz into the story, but gets away with it scot-free.
In her defense, everything was fine until the other kid chucked the rabbit away. If she'd kept it, the parents would've noticed the switch when the thing started growing.
The kid reminds of the boy from night of Lepus who got the rabbits big and make them killers
Steve Railsback is amazingly intense, he's half the reason "Lifeforce" was so awesome.
I wonder what the other reason was...
Well he’s about 1/3. There were 2 other big reasons.......
wait a minute, this little kid running around has LEUKEMIA?!
Makes sense, kids can be suicidally stupid even when they're healthy, give that kid a potentially terminal illness and the associated death wish and you've got the perfect person to go up against a horror movie villain
@@arthas640 Or create one.
Leukemia is NOT contagious DUMBASS!
PREPFORIT dude, nobody said it’s contagious
Kenny's in movies are the main reason I don't like kids
They're the fucking worst. And they rarely die for their fuck ups in movies
They killed Kenny! You bastards!
Nostalgia Works I was about to say that!
3:24 no brandon thats not nurse sexy librarian, thats nurse "we couldnt afford barbara crampton".
Too bad Joey wasn't the kid with the pumpkin mask in "test room A" in the movie Halloween III
Heh, the female doctor? Gwynyth Walsh -- from DaVinci's Inquest as well as B'etor, one of the Duras Sisters from Star Trek: The Next Generation!
I was watching that episode of TNG a few days ago and thought she looked a little familiar, that must be why 😊
Mind. Blown.
And wait! They just said in a previous scene the monster was a hermaphrodite! How the fuck is there now a male and female bug!?
Nanomachines, Son!
ShadowWolfRising Fuck off with your nano machines.
+Slapperfish Yeah okay, semantics. But didn't the monster start out solo before it gave birth?
+MasterSeijin more like pathogenesis than hermaphroditism since some insects can reproduce without having sex rather than animal with both male and female sex organs.
Matthew Solomons That was a real stretch.
This channel deserves more subs
Agreed
Honestly, seeing John Vernon really surprised me. I only know him from Killer Klowns from Outer Space so seeing him here is interesting
19:20. KID: Will I ever see you again? COP: No kid, never again, and never in a movie like this again. XD
They "Go looking for the Monster but will this be a straight up fight or just another bug hunt?"
LOL That joke is better than the entire movie.
Canadian Kennys. My God, they're spreading.
What's next, Norwegian Kennys?!
Glen Talbot then what mexican kennys
todaysdailybanana 0499642 Nigeria kennys
Kenyan Kenny.
Kill the KENNIES
Except Kenny from south park
Blue Monkey sounds like an alternate game show guess to Blue Monday.
If only these kids were given gameboys and a pack of batteries then the monster wouldn't have been born in the first place.
Wasn't that guy in LifeForce?
Don Strutz Yes, Nice Catch!
"We're gonna dive deep into some truly forgotten cult movie territory here"
Aw. So no Fubar, then?
ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY THE 1998 GODZILA DID GET A SQUEAL
in the form of a cartoon lol
Reminds me of how terrible the lighting was in Aliens vs Predator: Requiem.
Kaijuhub the lighting ruined a probably great fight scene
for some reason 80s movies were all poorly lit
Still better than Alien Covenant
Please don't mention that disappointment.

3:14 : Granny : Are you sure you're allright?
Old man: Never been better in my life.
Granny : Dammit! Must have known buying killer plants over the dark web ain't what it used to... Well, must do it myself then!
Two of my favorite reviewers upload on the same day, must be a good day.
I still love this theme song. Also, I wish you could have seen the happy-dance I did when you mentioned Black Christmas. No one ever remembers there was an original before the 2006 monstrosity. The review was fabulous as usual, thank you!
wait! How the fuck did the old manngettibg pricked by a rose create the monster in the place?!?!?!?!
Nanomachnies Son!
It was some really rare plant from an recently discovered island.
That's the power of love.
+Daniel Adamczyk bah!
+Glen Talbot more like his was stung by a insect than a plant.
Good God, I love SCTV...Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin were in what looked to be a Canadian "Manos: the Hands of Fate"...please do that one sometime!!!
I like the "American" soldiers in plain D fatigues, armed with an FN FAL and Sterling SMG. As well, the beret (no insignia) on one guy and the CF-issue boonie hat on the other.
Stupid Kennys, they always make thing worse but these ones literally are the reason for the monster!
Exterminate all Kennies!
Oh nice way to end the week, something to make my lunch break that much better.
Wow, Skinny Puppy, Black Mountain and now this, Canada must be amazing!
This movie's monster is exactly why I will NEVER have kids. They ruin EVERYTHING.
Except in real life, it's your life and your bank balance.
So? Have you had a kid yet? Lol
The pregnant lady at about 7:42 time stamp is the waitress at the diner in Groundhog Day; the guy with her likes to heckle hockey fans that play golf
When I first started watching this show, I wasn't sure the older videos would be as good but here I am 6 years in the past and the content is just as good.
Excellent, another awesome review and themed marathon to get hooked on! I don't think it'll show up in the Canuxsploitation-A-Thon, but I really hope we get an episode on Turbo Kid eventually. So excited for this one, can't wait for the next one.
2:39; the Cinema Snob's old intro music?
Probably an homage.
Christ, I remember seeing this when I was a kid. I remember being creeped out, but looking at it now, I just kinda chuckle at it.
The Dave Chappelle "Psyche!!" Kills me Everytime! 😂😂😂
Canada's not boring, it has you, Stevie T and Weird Movies With Mark.
I am surprised you did not use the clip from "Evolution" where the two college guys shouted and pointed at the blue ape aliens saying "Blue Monkey, Blue Monkey!!!".
THAT would have been perfect. x>
My local hospital was built by nanomachines.
MoarCrossovers™ And my ideal president is basically made of nanomachines, and said make America great again before it was cool

Damned nanomachines, coming over here and taking our jobs...
Really enjoy the vids brother. Always cracking us up...keep it up, Thanks
I don't think I've ever disliked child characters in a movie so much. I mean if it was something like a complete unforeseen accident that's one thing but this was just plain stupid.
JBlask the kid did the opposite of what he was told and never shown signs of guilt or remorse for his actions causing so many deaths. So it's possible that the kid is a budding sociopath/psychopath during the movie. Also he's the one that lead the troup of kids into the room. The other two seemed pretty innocent compared to the cap kid. They were ignorant while the cap kid seemed so sure of himself. Who knows, maybe the kid was secretly the main antagonist and was a murderer with no remorse the whole time and the leucemia was a lie. Maybe he was but a psychotic midget the whole time. I find that easier to believe than this kid being an ignoramus the entire time, he would have shown guilt if he was. But that's just a theory
One of my favorites! Thanks for doing it.
Definitely an interesting movie. I remember seeing this as a kid and being absolutely terrified by it. All things considered, it actually is pretty good for a monster flick.
Canadian cinema has produced so many great films but there are the nice tries and turkeys. Your channel is great and thanx for the stinkers of the North. Northern Kennys are equally annoying.
Fun fact: the Kenny in this movie is Stu Stone aka Ralphie from The Magic School Bus!
In Trolls 2 the creatures were never called Trolls in the movie but instead called Goblins.
It is a shame that Blue Monkey never got a DVD/Blu-Ray release ANYWHERE, only VHS. :'(
Actually no man, your standards aren't low. These actually are really good creature effects.
I looked up the image for this monster and yeah, it looks really good
Yeah, they look pretty good for the time period.
It's really surprising they hid it so much. I wonder if that was some kind of post-production mistake?
So many questions, and not just about the title.
@@michaelccozens Maybe the model didn't look good in bright light? That can happen.
@@menslady125eif2590 Hell, looks good even today. At least it's actually THERE, and not crap CG.
Great review, i liked the Lifeforce and Aliens references .
This movie does look good , will have to check it out .
hopefully copyright strikes don't interfere and stop this marathon.
I'd be surprised if someone hasn't made a BT fan game where he gets to kill hordes of Kennies yet.
Itt was more natural for Steve Railsback to leap through the glass door than opening it because he's the Stunt Man.
Brandon... you're the fkn man! Keep up the great work.
The Canadian healthcare system must be really great if people go to the doctors for pricking a finger on a sunflower... which dont even have thorns
Not only is A*P*E on DVD, but it's also getting a Blu-Ray release.
Jesus christ. A bad King Kong knockoff
Tyrant Gregcag "oooohhhh shit."

It's amazing Steve Railsback recovered as fast as he did from that kiss with Patrick Stewart in 'Lifeforce.'
Sarah Polly apparently HATED working on The Adventures of Baron Munchausen claiming the long difficult shoots were very stressful, and she much prefers smaller indie projects.....So she may be saying Terry Gilliam's too weird compared to Blue Monkey!
:/
please review "evil toons","island of fire" and "Schlock"
My apologies to Brandon for not finding and subscribing sooner.. Your videos remind me of an old show that I used to watch called "Disasterpiece Theater". Unfortunately, the show was cancelled due to creative differences.. after 1-2 seasons. Surprisingly, this show actually was a big competitor against Saturday Night Live at the time..
It's on blu ray now, and it's a pretty good release as well.
Holy Shit! This was one of the old Sci-fi channel's late night monster flick! I use to watch this movie all the time!
Actually a large percentage of old hospitals/asylums had tunnel networks under them, for reasons ranging from utility maintenance to supply delivery and body removal
Great review man. I dig this film for what it is. William Fruet the director best film is def killer party but being a fan of creature features this is a Kool one and I actually dig the hospital setting.
I can accept a giant bug. I can accept a guy puking up a larvae. But a guy getting shot in Canada? Thats just too extreme
I was waiting for the lady to give birth to a bug monster. Somewhat disappointed with that.
Since you uploaded this video Code Red released a Blu-ray of "Blue Monkey" with a new HD transfer.
Great review, I want to see this movie now. And actually, in the director's cut of Aliens, Newt's parents were responsible for bringing the aliens back to the base, so this movie's off the hook in that regard.
Alpha Woolf newt herself didn't bring them so Brandon statement stands
Hey. It finally got a blu-ray release
"We have to remember the three P's. No press, no publicity, and no....pasta" Student Bodies
The bug is actually named Blue Monkey.
Blue Monkey is in reference to the flower. or at least A Flower.. lol
1998 Godzilla got a show with a boy Godzilla since the temperature changed but they did kind of make a sequel but with a series
Wanna kill a giant bug?
Use a massive rolled up newspaper!
aight, Brandon, thank you for saving my life. You showed me that more than one bastard in this world saw this movie proving that I didn't just imagine watching it. Gave me nightmares as a kid, but i dont remember hating it. I haven't watched your video yet but I'm looking forward to it like a mother fucker, positive or negitive! keep kicking ass Neighber!
p.s. I find Canada to be an fine country. /)
Glad to see you still make videos!
19:45
But, "Godzilla" (1998) *did* get a sequel (of a sort) - "Godzilla : Final Wars". 😏
Pranav Ganapathiraju but it's not a REAL sequel
That mean Infinity War is a sequel to every single Marvel movie with a Thanos/Infinity Gauntlet easteregg. Woah.
"Oh my god! Did he just poop out of his mouth?! That's one of the grossest things I've ever seen!" 😆
9:19 Not a Don Lake fan, Canadian much? ^_^ Looks okay, deserves at least a 2K transfer, probably brighten it up some too.
It finally got a BluRay release last week. 🤣
Brandon all of your Reviews they are great when I start doing reviews I don't have the budget you have but I will take a cue from your page
12:49 They use a similar sound effect when you kill ants in the earlier Earth Defense Force games.
Wait, Heavy Metal was made in Canada? Sweet!
Wait... I thought they were hermaphrodites and now there's two of them?
Well yeah hermaphrodites still need a mate so the 2 of them can fertilize each other
You thought it was a synonym for asexual reproduction didn’t you?
