That bastard...though it might've been for the best, given what you're reviewing next?

Holy shit, I just watched the MST3K episode for this today. Weird. 0_o

Awesome, I was honestly not 1 minute ago looking for some new videos to chill with, and here we go. Perfect timing.
-
07.16.2009 - 20:41 | 056168Been waiting for another one of your reviews. Seems like a really really crappy movie. :cheer:
-
07.16.2009 - 20:42 | RockmanX3Yay, it's been a long time since another great Phelous review!

Finally, Ive been waiting for a new phelous review for like ever! But nice job phelous
-
It's just....awful. :shock: That fight scene not only featured awful sounding organ hits with each of the rake hits...they weren't even synced up right. :unsure:
Man, I could score this film better than whoever did the job...but then again, I suppose several people could. :!:
-
07.16.2009 - 21:02 | firetaurusDoes this mean your next review will be of Hobgoblins 2?
-
07.17.2009 - 04:29 | PhelousNope. Next one is a movie with many names.

Well, I must say it takes balls to do this one, especially after it has already had the MST3K treatment.
-
FUCK THAT MOVIE!!!! I mean come on!!! how can these movies pass? I mean this movie was so bad it made skinned deep look good but skinned deep is still a horrid sack of shit that gave me headaches but at least I can laugh at how horribly bad it is and crack jokes.

I watched the MST3K of this like a week ago. Now I got to see it ripped to shreds twice. Nice job. :)
-
That was a great review man and an awesome reference to a great series: Quantum Leap. Oh and I remember Sam almost got the electric chair in one episode and almost gone through because he was beginning to feel guilty and that was a strange twist because technically the series said after he finished his mission he could choose not to go yet.

Wow Troll 2 had a plot compared to this.

I had the fortune(misfortune?) of seeing MST3K do this one, so I have actually seen the entire thing.
Most awful movies still have something you can say for them (they were shot by a fertilizer salesman on a hand camera; they were intentionally campy; etc.). This one literally had nothing going for it.
No disrespect either, but guns being fired actually DO look like that. I saw enough of them discharged in Iraq to know. But I supposed that's just splitting hairs. I enjoyed your review overall. B)

I think Hanna Barbara was encharge of the sound department.

Dude! Finally it came and it was AWESOME! :woohoo:
Where do you find these horrible piece o' shit movies? :0

07.17.2009 - 01:22 | WarpedElements
Old MST3K episodes apparently...
-
07.16.2009 - 22:41 | KazeOhh i loved that tv series, well when i was a kid, but i have good memories of it
-
07.16.2009 - 23:04 | hossrexIt'd be cool if Mystery Science Theater did this movie!
I mean... it's cool you picked this movie first, because otherwise... what would be the point of riffing on a movie someone else had riffed on.
-
07.17.2009 - 04:03 | PhelousSorry, I know once someone does something on a movie or any other kind of medium, no one else should talk about it ever! :dry:
I haven't seen that MST3K on it but considering their format I doubt my review is all that similar. :P

The worst part about this movie?
The guy is making/made a SEQUEL!
-
07.17.2009 - 06:31 | Linkara
Yeah, but he's fully aware of awful the first one is and why it's gained a cult following and was more than happy to let it be riffed on.
-
07.16.2009 - 23:20 | Shinigami
That was funny :D
-
I think Hobgoblins is probably the only movie to appear on MST3K that I would willingly watch without someone riffing it.

Hobgoblins was, surprisingly enough, filmed on a shoestring budget and only actually given the go-ahead because of the success of Gremlins. The cast have given interviews stating that they had so little money that they had to supply basically all the props and costumes. It's essentially a High School film project that went too far.
The sequel/remake was apparently made just because people still remember the original, mostly due to MST3K, and deliberately aims to be as close to the original plot as possible with a different cast.

07.17.2009 - 00:01 | MalygonAll in all noce, but I think in the scene where the gun is fired you shouldn't have gone for the "lack of gun" effect but rather for the look on his face and the reaction of the thief.

Man, why do the movies you review get worse and worse? This was not even a movie!
-
07.17.2009 - 01:02 | EdinfangHaha that was funnny and that movie made no sence at all
-
Why would you review a movie already done by MST3K?
Instead, you should've reviewed Hobgoblins 2. That needs a review.
-
07.17.2009 - 07:21 | PhelousIf do something on that one at some point, I'll mention there was a MST3K on this one in it.

Bad movie. Hilarious review as always. Didn't see that twist at the end. You should have mentioned that movie was bashed and riffed on MST3K in Season 9 of it's Sci-Fi Channel years. Other than that, I wonder how horrible the "next movie" will be. I bet at some point you will have to review Manos: The Hands of Fate. Now that's a horrible one.

07.17.2009 - 02:20 | theturdwhisperertheir eating her... and then their going to eat me... omg
-
07.17.2009 - 02:28 | First Person ShaneOk, recap: Trolls pretending to be people, goblins being called trolls, and hobgoblins ripping off Gremlins. What's next, metrosexual emo kids ripping off vampires? ...oh. right.
-
07.17.2009 - 04:27 | PhelousAgreed :D
