The best dystopian plot with the worst writing and funny action to an extent it blew my mind as a kid, it’s fun and pretty stupid but the dystopian aspect is awesome
I remember watching this in 7th grade and we had just finished reading Fahrenheit 451. I was so hooked because I was "13 and this is deep". Funnily enough, Fahrenheit 451 is in the UA-cam recs of this video
Gun Kata could be the dumbest conceptualization of a supreme gunfighter I've ever fucking heard, but it rules so hard. Literally as explained in the film they just predict everything through homework and somehow that translates to being the fastest gun in the future
Haven't listened yet but my absolute Fave part of this movie is right at the end where the chubby bad guy is like 'You shouldn't kill me! Killing me is Murder!'. Gotta say, it's a good argument ngl would've have given me pause.
56:04 I wish to interrogate this sense offender Felix because the verbal description of how he was holding the sandwich is insufficient for me to be able to visualize.
They should do the three gun kata movies, the other two being Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet. All three are essentially the exact same movie and I loved them all as a kid. Equilibrium is hilarious the best of the three, though.
Ultraviolet has one of my favorite behind-the-scenes anecdote where before they started filming, Kurt Wimmer asked Jovovich to punch him to prove her commitment to the action scenes and she straight up punched him in the face and gave him a black eye for days.
Make Preston a girl, hire James Franco as a sexy love interest, add factions in the world building, maybe people are authorized to have only one single type of feelings so you have "the angry", "the joyful", etc, but Preston fits in none of those because she is so unique.
This is such a popcorn movie, lot of action, drama, comedy, suspense and dance! 5 bags and a handkerchief to wipe away any tears for if you're a sense criminal with feelings.
This movie is so funny-bad. The gun-kata is just so embarrassing to watch that it goes beyond cringe into genuine enjoyment. This is also one of those movies where you can so clearly see the gap between the writer/director's imagination and their practical capabilities, which is always amusing to see. Like every henchman just wears the same leather jacket and motorcycle helmet - it's not even done up to look sci-fi or functional in any way; it's literally just a basic motorcycle helmet. The Clerics drive a 90s Oldsmobile or Buick (or some other old-people car brand), also not done up to look like anything special. You could find more creative production and costuming in the most bottom-of-the-barrel Italian rip-off sci-fi B movie. Wimmer probably imagined a ton of cool gun battles in this great revolutionary wave at the end of the movie, but the best he could do with directing was "just run at them." But really the movie is immune to criticism because you just know that Wimmer doesn't care - he already achieved his dream of inventing gun kata and slaying divorcee puss, so what does your opinion of his movie matter to him at all? I salute this king.
I had a friend at school who would go on and on about this movie, Fear Factory was the least heavy and obscure band he was into and despite selling me on his novel (interdimensional 'kai swords' that could slice through star systems), handwritten in tiny script 2h pencil, upon reading the first 3 pages i found the imprisoned protagonists' musings on the nature on entropy fairly dull. Just like his novel, i found this film as disappointing as the Chronicles of Xadren.
@@Perkustin Your friend's novel sounds fucking awesome dude, it's a shame you just can't enjoy this and Equilibrium... Heh... Guess that's what happens when you're on prozium... You just can't appreciate true art.
Still, this movie is better than Ultraviolet. Even as a kid I thought that movie was unwatchable

This movie rules. It’s beyond criticism I’m sorry.
Adorable that Felix sounds a little heartbroken that they’re mocking his childhood fave

Also the director being so proud of the dumb muzzle flash CGI effects made to look like crosses is insanely funny
Finally just watched this and I couldn't stop laughing 🤣 Love you guys
I haven’t seen it but the same director did Ultraviolet and that is significantly more insane than this It’s fucking awesome
Felix getting owned by gym receptionists. Book it Vince
“Is that a sandwich? Why are you holding it like that?” is peak comedy for the audio-only medium.

Mine is where the underground turns out to be literally underground. Like under the floor
Two words... Gun Kata
Gunkata is a viable martial art. ask felix.

1:13:58 They created a "matrix" if you will... I see what you did there.
So journ
Fuck yeah , gunkata!
This could've been a successful YA novel.
It is. The kid still turns him in, but this time does tiktok dabs.

The premise is straight out of YA classic The Giver (gunkata of course)
@@greyberger there is no gun kata in The Giver. I say this in case someone actually reads it only to be disappointed by its absence.
