    changes in quality indeed!

    "i wouldn't want to dirty my bullets" *ugh*

    Great review man! I remember that scene at the end parodied in southpark. Segal, surprisingly preachy, who would know! I bet he drives a Humvee...
  • Shadow4119
    Actually, Seagal prefers a tank. But you're close!
  • pharmmajor

    Yes! I was waiting for a Seagal movie to get bashed. Thanks for finally bringing it in, FilmBrain.

    Well he did refer to him as such during the review. Which I enjoyed.
  • aerocheder  - Better and better
    this series just gets better and better :lol:

    In terms of movies with themes that just don't fit to an action movie I'd say that [u]End of Days[/u] is another bad movie that should get beat down.
  • Sheranda
    avatar
    The theme isn't what made End of Days bad. It was the execution of the theme. You see numbers upside down in dreams, so the number of the beast is 999? The Nostalgia Critic already talked about all the things wrong with that movie.
  • William666
    At least its better than in inconvenient truth:evil:

    We might as well face it: That old man had it coming. He called Seagal a whore. He had to die a horrible death.

    Im suprised you dident make and batman or scrubs jokes about the two lead villans other than changing their names.

    Matthew, I have to ask, will you ever do a beatdown of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?
  • Disthron
    avatar
    In the scene where he's apparently a continuity issue. Isn't it a diferant coat?

    Anyway, good review. You seen to be getting the hang of reviewing moives that are actually bad.
  • Film Brain
    avatar
    Yeah, different coat as well. Those scenes literally come right after each other. Talk about contradicting yourself.
  • Phelous
    avatar
    Segal definitely needs one of those enlightening beatings. It's amazing they work that way.
    "DAMMIT THOSE WERE NEW SHOES!" :D
  • Jonny Kage
    We already know Segal sucks move on
  • Redbob86
    At 16:35 when they say Alaska is a third world country, I'm pretty sure she meant it as a joke.
  • Film Brain
    avatar
    I wish she was. I really do. But like the rest of the script, they say/do something stupid and the film takes it deadly serious.
  • Curiosity Inc  - A couple of additional points:
    avatar
    1) Michael Caine fired his agent shortly after this movie's release.

    2) Seagal was recently cast in an upcoming Robert Rodriguez movie.

    Make of these what you will.
  • ScreamingDoom
    Oh dear god, this movie is hilariously bad. Segal is just such a jackoff.

    Interesting note: the woman who plays Caine's secretary also played the EarthGov Political Officer assigned to Sheridan in Babylon 5.

    I guess playing oppressive bureaucrats is her forte.

    Steven Seagal in "THREE WORD TITLE!"

    You have a total knack for picking movies that deserve a nice beatdown and this one was more than worthy from the cringe-worthy [i]SYMBOLISM[/i] (a character named "Forrest" and the dream seqeuence) to some truly cheesy, unnecessary scenes like the torture scene with both gratuitious violence and an awful cliche-drenched speech (they actually used the "There's no "I" in "team"" mantra?!).

    I have to say, the final product turned out very well and you're definitely improving more and more with each video, finding your voice.

    Keep up the great work, Film Brain!
  • Sheranda
    avatar
    I like that Mathew made a reference to They Live while Forrest was giving that speech. I thought people forgot about that movie. It is one of my favorite movies from the 1980s.

    I'm personally of the opinion that naked bear-fighting can only elevate the quality of a film, and was sadly lacking in both Casablanca and Sunset Boulevard, keeping those films from achieving the level of excellence we have just seen here.

    Best review yet - you're really hitting your stride, keep it up!

    You're being sarcastic, right?

    I know that was sarchasm yet it still made me hemorrage

    good review film brain
  • MattJ1991  - Yay

    A new BMB, kick ass, I really think you should do Reign of Fire next, that movie is HORRIBLE
  • rattlehead91
    avatar
    One thing I would like to add: your videos are obscenely long. They are certainly improving as time goes on but I think you could leave some stuff on the cutting-room floor.

    Keep up the good work, though.

    Oh thank god, I was thinking when I saw this review: "Caine, how could you stoop soo low, Noooooooooo"

    Great review here FilmBrain
  • Blam Walker
    Come on, the guy was in Jaws IV before this - clearly he enjoys a paycheck just as much as the rest of us.
  • orwellianson  - !!!!
    avatar
    loving your reviews dude! You have a sharp critique! :side:

    Holy crap! Did I just see John C. Mcginley from Scrubs and Sir Michael Caine? This movie just shot up a few points just for having two of some of my favorite actors!!!!!

    Still, what a load of shit.

    Yeas i know segals acting is shayt but again. Bruce lee is dead so i need my beating the shit up of stuff fixes.

    Great review but i cant be considerate a reliable source because European accents make me think that the work is absolutely marvelous without thinking.
  • fjern
    Shit.. According to the cover, presented at 2:45 it is available on DVD here in Denmark.
    Well at least the cover says it is only a rental movie :P
  • Destrucity  - Ahem...
    And now, ladies and gentlemen, the single greatest line of dialogue uttered in any film:

    "My guy in DC tells me that we're not dealing with a student here; we're dealing with a professor. He's the kind of guy who would drink a gallon of gasoline so he could piss in your campfire. You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear without his toothbrush and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your poolside with a million-dollar smile and a fistful of pesos!"
  • DecKrash

    Seeing this review, I have to wonder why all the environmental movies/TV shows that I've ever seen have to be so heavy-handed. It's not like we're two year-olds or anything. We get it. Seagal should've understood that subtlety was the way to go. But then again, he [i]is[/i] Steven Seagal. ::le sigh:: And you're right. Action flicks don't really do subtle.

    Steven Segal is a hack through and through. A good martial artist, yes, but he is a terrible actor and has a very pathetic sense of ability. That is to say, he thinks he has the ability to create films. He does not. I just love his Brooklyn accent though (Out For Justice?), it's completely offbeat and actually manages to somehow become offensive at some points (I hail from Brooklyn).

    Keep up the good content, I don't care what other people say, the way you talk and your mannerisms are delightful, not annoying.
  • RoadJam  - Hmm...

    Very good reveiw as always, im also working on one of segals movies myself... IMO on deadly ground was much more entertaining. I'm not saying i liked on deadly ground though, far from it.

    Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Nothing spells more bad movie than shitty Seagal movie.
