Sounds like Gasner was milking that filming location search!😉🍻
4:32 that "lesser known vodka" was one of the first celebrity liquor brands lol. That's Slash's vodka brand from GnR.
The DEEZ...NN...NNNUTZ
The figures for this line would definitely fit in with Kenner aliens. Hell, the little sea creatures they come with could also play face huggers.
Oh yeah, for sure! I had some of those Aliens figures growing up.
@@TheAtoll starting my own collection of aliens. Never was into the series until now, maybe because I wasn’t born during its hype, but they look like they can stand the test o f time and wonder if these water worlds would also be a must.
@@sanspie029 Yeah, the Waterworld figures are excellent quality and are still very cheap to collect. A win win in my opinion!
@@TheAtoll is the material the same? Or does it feel cheaper? I just want to double check.
Waterworld is a free movie right now on UA-cam. You should leave a comment and get people to subscribe🙏💪👍
Aww okay, that would explain the uptick in views to the channel in the past few weeks! Thanks for the heads up!
Great, another BS climate change film of fearmongering
I don't think the film every directly says climate change anywhere, it's just implied. Obviously, you have the Smokers which are meant to represent like the political right with their focus on unsuitable growth (I think the Deacon calls his people the "Church of Eternal Growth"). I guess the Atollers are meant to represent the left, but the parallel is harder to make. The filmmakers called the story of Waterworld and "Echo Fable", meaning the actions of a people long gone have shaped the world presented in the current story being told.
Thank you for these videos! They are great and fascinating! They deserve many more views
Wow, thank you! Glad you're enjoying the channel! The next video should be dropping towards the end of September.
How do the smokers maintain their boats and plane?
Those Smokers have some ace mechanics!
"There are things on your boat that nobody has ever seen!! What are these shells? And that reflecting glass? The music box? Well, If not from dry land, then where!? " That scene came to mind while watching this video. Waterworld is awesome. I wish they made movies and practical effects like this nowadays. But the ancients did something terrible..
Great quote, and timely as well! My next video will be a spotlight on the character of Helen.
yeah, that scene I'm referring to is a Great scene for her character. It flushes out her beliefs and why she believes them. It's probably the most important scene in the whole movie for her character
Deez? DEEZ NU…
Elona would later grow up and go the the same highschool as Napoleon Dynamite
Watched the movie for the first time the other day while looking for things to watch. Honestly, I usually play films in the background as noise. I'll hunt something down that I was interested in, like Kingdom of Heaven, and focus in and out of it. Waterworld just happened to pop up and a "Play Next" option, so sure, why not. Opening of the movie caught my interest, so I paid a little more attention than usual. Seeing the mariner drop the flare into the oil reserves and the "human depth gauge" saying "Oh thank God" actually had me laughing. It was also a shock seeing it was the Exxon Valdez. It was cool learning about the practical effects they used for this ship. I was expecting the Valdez to split in half, but it's neat to see original plans were to have it do so. Thank you for the video!
Hey, so glad you enjoyed the movie and found this video!
Himalayas, the highest mountain range, the drylands, with places above 7600M sea level
Yes, I believe I make that very point at 7:56
for the record if all ice on the planet melted it would not flood the entire world. in fact much of it would flood into basins, valleys and other places below sea level which would mitigate the actual rise in sea levels and would also more or less turn every dessert on earth into a new lake or sea. the lack of ice would also turn both Canada and russia into agricultural centers as thousands of miles of land would now be usable and Antarctica would become usable as well.
"for the record if all ice on the planet melted it would not flood the entire world." Yes, I make this same point at 3:08 . But that's an interesting point about the frozen tundra that you make!
Airplane was 500 years old. Still works somehow
Those Smokers must have had some good mechanics in their ranks!
Very in-depth. Another banger
Thank you WiseOwl!
Good work as always sir.
The Theatrical Cut is still the best. The Ulysses Cut ist good, but it is a bit too long...
I 100% agree. There's nothing in the Ulysses Cut that makes me go "Wow! That makes this movie so much better!" Some of the added stuff is interesting, a lot of it is padding.
@@TheAtoll Yeah absolutely, my friend tells me that the best scene from ulysses cut got the better ending, because we see that the mountain they stay on, is the mount everest. But i think that we don't really know this in the theatrical cut, makes that movie much better. Because it feels more like a mystery to the viewers, when we don't know this. It's more like an open ending and i like that more. Thank you for your beautiful movies here, i like your channel. Very cool content 👌
If that plack was originally at the summit of Mt. Everest, then we can certainly assume that it was moved down the mountain, given the fact that Hellen and Enola are not at the top of the highest mountain. Therefore the water does not have to have risen all the way up to the top of Mt. Everest. (which would also mean that all of the mountain, except the summit, would be under water) But you are probably right that the difference in comparison with Denver would be too much. PS: Asteroids are WAAAAAAY to small to have any significant impact on tectonic movement. And any asteroid that is large enough to have such an effect would sterilize the planet.
Sorry, I don't quite follow the point you are making in the first paragraph. Are you trying to say the mountains have shrunk?
Awesome content - very impressive, very thorough
Much appreciated! Glad you like it!
I was hoping you could duel with these cards lol
That would have been fun!
Yay this was such a fun listen! Love how it feels like I’m listening to the audio that is spoken from within the universe. Now if I watch it after, I can be someone that says the book is soooo much better 😂 … unlikely!
So glad you enjoyed it! Haha, sort of unbelievable you listened to the whole thing without ever seeing the film!
@@TheAtoll haha it’s a testament to the quality of your videos!
One day I promise I’ll finally watch this movie 😂 The worldbuilding is INSANE
Yes! The worldbuilding is the best part of Waterworld.
This channel makes me really want to watch the movie!
3 things. 1 - excellent video. 2 - what are those spiky beams jutting out of the valdez for? 3 - please please do a video on the firearms of the smokers. That would be so cool.
1. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 2. Decorations? Just to make the fortress look more menacing/opposing. 2. Perhaps, but I am no expert on firearms, so maybe that would be a good video for another content creator. I know that the website The Internet Movie Firearms Database (IMFDb) has a fantastic amount of information on the firearms of Waterworld, so maybe that's a good place to check out if your curious on the subject.
Another amazing video, thank you so much for this channel and all your work
My pleasure! Glad you enjoy it!
This channel is brilliant. Im watching ulysses cut right now and really recommend it to WW fans because there is so much more stuff to appreciate in it. To help you on the game, you need to buy a mobile cd rom unit to plug into your pc. Its actually quite simple to rig it up, you should be able to find one online.
Man. For 22 million dollars they really should have kept the atoll. I dunno how that could have worked, transporting it piece by piece to Hollywood or simply leaving it there in hawaii as a pilgrimage site but there would have been a lot of waterworld fans willing to pay good money to visit it in the years after.
I'd like to travel to Kawaihae harbor and see if there's any remanence of it.
I absolutely love that it looks like the gunner is using a virtual boy controller to fire and that theres an actual waterworld game on the VB
I don't think that was intentional, but just a happy coincident!
I love that the deacon has the last car on the planet and makes no effort to clean it up whatsoever.
Haha, yeah, the Smokers are a dirty group in general.
It really doesnt make sense to me. The thing is TINY. How could you sustain life on this? There is literally nothing on it and barely space to sleep. I just think they could have jazzed it up a bit and made it larger and more believable. If it is a slave colony what exactly do the slaves do? I mean theres no crops for them to tend - do they catch fish? Are they sold? Just raises questions.
sold and bought I believe was the initial idea. The filmmakers probably wanted a more elaborate set for this scene, but perhaps the budget wouldn't allow it after shooting the Atoll battel.
There are a few amusing typos on the Millennium Entertainment bootleg disc - Prince of Thieves is spelled "Princ of Theives", Pen Densham is "Pend Desham", and Kevin Reynolds is "Kevin Ryenolds"
HAHA! I didn't even catch those! Somehow, I feel like that makes this DVD even better.
Also is there an extended edition anyone has found digitally? Or simply in disc form
At the moment, only on disc. The Arrow BluRay release from 2019 and the DVD release from 2008.
We need Waterworld Awakenings like a Prequel. Seriously amazing movie and glad to see a fandom
Always hoping more Waterworld will happen!
or it’s not accurate what they created @7:00 and just leave it to fantasy 😊
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, this video is just for fun. I'm all about artistic liberates in storytelling, but also it's fun to nerd out and try to think about how this stuff would actually work in the real world.
I didn't know someone had a whole channel dedicated to Waterworld. good movie)
Yes indeed! A good movie :)
So I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to comment and say dude rock on for the amazing content. I found your content last summer. I had never even heard of waterworld until I stumbled on one of your older videos. And needless to say I was hooked. You're so genuinely passionate about this movie and universe that its really kind of inspiring? Keep up the great work and hope things are well.
I appreciate that! It's comments like these that keep me going! I have had a busy summer, so I slowed on this UA-cam project, but I should be coming back with a new super-long video in a month or so.
The idea of National Geographic being a treasure trove of information is actually quite clever. Not only written information but a wealth of excellent photography and most importantly-the foldout maps that they are famous for. In Waterworld they would be a goldmine for anyone able to recover one as they contain lots of scientific data.
Very valuable indeed!
Could you do an Everything We Know about the Trimaran and its awesome gadgets and design
Not so much being an Orma 60 you know what I mean. Love your videos!
Yes, that is on the list and will be coming soon. In the meantime, check out my video on the Trimaran from the toyline, I go into a ton of detail about the actual boat in that video.
@@TheAtoll omg you responded! This is amazing news.
Atoll, I sent you a message on IG in regards to a water world watch
Yes! Received!
I really hope that if Universal Studios UK happens, that they include a new iteration of WaterWorld
I wasn't aware a Universal Studios UK was in the works! We will have to keep an eye on this!
Funny, as a European I'm really tired of our "Mariner over Atoll" posters and much prefer the US poster with Costner's giant face and the setting sun. 😅
Haha! The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!
I swear in a bit of the movie right before he drops the girl in the water because she says "i'm not afraid of you" he's chewing on the leaves one after another which is where all the leaves went, I remember this because I googled if you can eat tomato plant leaves and you can't the solimine in them makes them toxic
Interesting! I just Googled if you can eat tomato leaves, and it seems there is a bit of a debate on whether that's safe or not. It looks like most sources say that's safe, contrary to popular belief.
I really enjoy waterworld and it's lore, I'm glad a channel like this is archiving all this lost treasure
Glad you enjoy it!
I wished they kept the shot of The Deacon shouting "Fire!" at 18:18 in either the Theatrical or Ulysses Cut, which was present in the film's Teaser Trailer (narrated by Darth Vader & Mufasa himself, James Earl Jones).
Oh, wow! I don't think I realized James Earl Jones did the narration for the Teaser, but your right, it's definitely his voice!
You actually got me to borrow waterworld from the library and give it another shot. Now that I actually understand a lot of things better it was more enjoyable. Still not my favorite movie but I can appreciate it a lot more now.
That's wonderful to hear! I too like to borrow videos from the library, even in this age of streaming!
It's so nice how you can be enthusiastic about the topic you're talking about while still having the composure to recognize when the product is flawed
Hello Jack, thank you for the kind words. Yeah, sometimes enthusiasm is confused with being purely positive, but I think someone can also be enthusiastic about something while critical of it. The next video, which I am scripting right now, will be going into a lot I personally see as flaws in Waterworld.
Too bad they removed the darker subplot of the Deacon being into kids.
for real? gross
@@TheAtollpardon?
Your channel and content actually inspired me to start designing and building my own Atoll in Minecraft
That's a great idea! I just started playing minecraft this past year. I might have to try my hand at an Atoll as well!
