Every time Billy and Martin laugh, an angel gets their wings (and a fedora).
Martin wears a tribly not a fedora, Indiana Jones wears a fedora.
@lenindominguez1986 I agree gotta agree with that. 🔥🔥🔥
....and a white woman lol

"The whole thing about the mutants is that their mutated"
-Korey Coleman 2024
@TheGOAT-hj6sl hyperbole
@TheGOAT-hj6sl Korey says otherwise
This movie could be summarized in a MST3k quip:
“That’s one small step for the SFX department, one giant leap for our imaginations.”
They were told to make an off-brand, no-budget X-Men, they did the best they could.
I honestly saw the title card and immediately thought: Is this one of those parody films like 'Superhero Movie'. Holy crap this is worse than I thought.
2:35 The Incredible Hulk!
3:17 Wonder Women!
8:52 Oh No!

56:45 Ridiculous Effects!
Motherhammers? 🔨 That's new 😆
Time 35:10 its offensive me even today, bodybuilder woman exists 💪🏾
These timestamp comments are a blessing
35:57 😂
Apparently, the characters Buff and Refrax(the blonde chick and guy with glasses) are actually supposed to be Husk and Chamber. Main reason for the change is because their powers would be way too expensive. For those that don’t know these characters, Husk has the ability to shed her skin. It can be metal, diamond, lava, stone, reptilian, and even uranium underneath each layer. Chamber can emit energy blast, but has to limit himself. Because the energy destroyed his lower jaw and chest and now there’s just a gaping hole.
...THAT'S BS mf pick characters who's powers are easy to show
They should do more of these:
Mutant X
Nightman
Adventure inc
Vip
Great explanation of the characters, Husk can also heal her wounds by shedding her skin, and Chamber is actually one of the most powerful mutants out, because his powers have no upper limit, and it’s so powerful that it constantly protrudes from his missing jaw
That scene with the muscle chick is egregious
It's literally that lovemaking scene from the second Naked Gun movie, where at one point, they replaced Leslie Nielsen with a bodybuilder.
Lol😂
Yup. The double is either a male bodybuilder, or Denise Rutkowski.
@@michaelstrong5383or that episode of Seinfeld with "the man hands" 😂
And why didn't she have a padded muscle suit under her clothes to show her size???
I saw this movie a month ago and it felt strange seeing Generation X and X-Men movies used Hatley Castle as the same X-Mansion.
Matt Frewer saw Jim Carrey's performance as the Riddler from Batman Forever and asked, "Can I copy your homework?"
After this I hope they talk about that Justice league of America 1997 pilot. That concept of a team of super heroes fighting crime and “facing the challenges of everyday life.” (Justice friend’s intro).
He even sounds just like him 🤣 🤣.
Matt Frewer will take any role, and at least he tries to deliver. Sometimes he's great, sometime it's goofy. He just gets a lot of budget work. On the other hand, low budget doesn't have to mean bad, it gets bad when the production gets lazy. It's also easier to do horror or drama on a budget, sci fi action is harder to pull off. Malcom McDowell did tons of budget stuff and he always delivers. Brad Dourif, too. Anyway, I loved Max Headroom as a kid, Matt Frewer was Max and Edison Carter. He's always willing to do hours in the makeup chair everyday.
He’s not trying to be Jim Carey, that’s just who he is as an actor. The two men are very similar.
Hes the only thing I remember from this movie😅 He is actually just being Max Headroom however.
Good times, I remember recording this on vhs and this blow my mind. "WOW! Live action X-Men!" To be young and naïve again. But I do remember this was giving strong Power Ranger vibes on the way it was filmed. As in everything was dark and on a small set.
You should check out the Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD TV movie, starring David Hasselhoff.
@connorbible1898 I agree with you on this choice 100%. That movie is so bad I don't know how my TV, eyes and ears didn't melt and snap shut from all the bad acting and pure cheese that came through and from that movie.
@@glmvcub75fanIt can’t be worse than Captain America or the Fantastic Four original movie, or the Doctor Strange movie that wasn’t Doctor Strange😂😂😂😂😂
Funny thing is that Matt Frewer *did* actually replace Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas in the DUMB & DUMBER Saturday morning cartoon!
And Patrick from SpongeBob voiced Jeff Daniels' Harry Dunne in the cartoon.
And as the Exterminator in Isty-Bitsy Spider… yes, I am probably one of three people who remembers that cartoon (and the other two are probably Carrey and Frewer)
@@Kmadden2004I didn't even know there was a show of that, I simply adore the original short they played in front of BEBE'S KIDS with Carrey as the exterminator. I need to look this show up!
Matt Frewer tries to be Jim Carry from Batman Forever in this I believe.
It's true comedians steal each other's material
Not gonna lie, I loved this as a kid. Definitely have it on VCR somewhere. What can I say? We were hungry for ANYTHING comic related… Especially X-Men. 😅
We really were.
I too have it on VHS somewhere. I definitely recorded it on the cheapest tape and in the worst EP quality though. It's probably the equivalent of 100p.
@lenindominguez1986 it was a different time. 😂
Billy laughing is joy to me.
This came out when I was 19, maybe 20. Back then, it was slim pickings for comic books on any screen. Remember watching this and convincing myself it was pretty good. Desperation can make a liar out of anyone. Then the Nick Fury movie, with the “Hoff,” came out a little bit later and I stopped drinking the Kool Aid. When the first X-Men movie came out, was afraid it wouldn’t be much better than this.
Don’t blame yourself Lol We had to take what we could get back then, so it was good, because there was no bar😂😂😂
I guess Miss Mann!! from Scary Movie is her body double 💪🏻👱🏻♀️💅🏻👀😭😭💀
Underrated 😂
Lmao not miss man 🤣
LOL 😄😄😁
I loved this as a kid. Of course Angelo was a creeper and his whole “Let me show you something when I did email for the Barrio Loco Gangsters!” lol
Bro AOL don’t make you a hacker!
I hope Deadpool & Wolverine makes fun Generation X seeing how they are both now owned by Disney.
The rumor is they originally filmed this for the intention of theaters but test screenings were so bad that they chopped the film down and re edited it for TV instead. That's supposedly why we ended up with 2 cuts but I don't know if that's true.
@boomstickcritique902 Do you think this is worse than Ed O'Neill in the forgotten tv movie W.E.I.R.D. World from 1995?🤔🙄🤨🙆
I thought I heard it was a pilot for a Generation X tv show.
To be fair, jedi mind tricks is one of Emma Frosts powers lol
Preach👍🏻
All telepaths Lol
Finola Hughes best known as Anna Devane on General Hospital is in this movie!🤗🙏👍📺
She also played Victoria in cats at one point
@lenindominguez1986 yeah, i think she was the first Victoria. There are videos of her on UA-cam
The producers told Matt Frewer to basically give them Jim Carrey. I remember seeing Generation X way back and thinking, "This ain't ut."
Being a teenage Gen X fan at the time, I was really excited about this movie, but disappointed about the changes from comic to screen.
I remember seeing this also,was excited for a hot minute until I watched it. LOL. Just didn't have the budget for a tv series nor the technology.
Just disappointed?? This looks like an insult to fans lol
“You will be pleasantly surprised.”
--We were surprised but it was not pleasant.
The idea of creating a new mutant to go in the comic is trying to follow the Harley Quinn plan. Harley was created for the cartoon and got put in the comic.
God and this used to be the norm for comic book movies.
And to think this was directed by Jack Sholder, the lad that directed A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, The Hidden, and Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies, to name a few.
The 90s were the era of failed tv pilots like this and Justice League. It was also the are of when Powers Rangers, Hercules, and Xena were popular which is also why we get remarkably bad gems like this one 😅 😅.
Also, 35:08 I feel like if I saw this special as a kid I would notice that 🤣 🤣.
I was praying the Double Toasted guys covered this movie.🤣 I hope they eventually do the unreleased Fantastic 4 film.🤞🙏
Ah, so this is where Christopher Nolan got the idea for Inception lol
I remember recording this when i was a kid, what a fever dream of a movie
This is so true, I didn't think I saw this before until they started showing clips.
Fever dream...🤣🤣🤣
My major problem with the movie is they made jubilee white
All the hub bub about "race swapping" today is funny, in the 70's - 90's if you were Asian or Hispanic in the source material you were gonna be white! 😂😂😂
She does more than the Asian Jubilee in X-men Apocalypse
Waaah, they made a character white, waaah.
Aren't you people all on board with race swapping today?
Is there something in the water that just made everybody magically remember this movie, because I swear, I think I’ve seen like 4 or 5 “the X-Men movie you’ve never heard of” videos, including this one, just this month.
0:15 they couldn't get a lady body builder? I don't think that's a new invention either.
Yeah. Generation X was a sad attempt at Fox trying to live action the X Men world. Back in the 90's, alot of Networks did STT movies were basically advertisements to make a TV series. EX: Mantis was a movie before a TV series. Another example was when WB launched the first 2 episodes of Buffy as a full movie.
I was disappointed the show did not get picked up. I was hoping we could have gotten some cameos from some X-men in future episodes.
At least I got to see M.
I think the director did The Hidden and the parallels with this and his own Freddy's Revenge is pretty on brand.
Jack Shoulder
I dunno who wrote this but this was tonally so off whiplash occurs within 5 minutes of each scene
I see a new Bad Movie Review and the first thing I do is click 'Like" because I know it's gonna be good as long as Billy, Martin and Korey are reviewing it.
So tf what? You want a cookie?
Right 😅😅
@golden90s57 go outside and touch some grass!
35:00 Billy kills me everytime
I got a decent copy of it. I recorded it when it aired back in ‘96. I need to spend some time transferring it to digital.
I want to buy a digital copy from you ASAP. 😆 🤣 I'm laughing, but I'm serious. I'm an OG Gen X fan. Is there a way we could set that up? We can trade emails if you're down.
Gen X deserves better lol
This gives new mutants a run for its money
47:22 mark my words. Korey's about to have another snapping at white boy Julian moment soon. It seem like korey be holding the show back sometimes. Martin or billy will grt me laughing then korey just stamps out that fire and says come check out his fire.
The shame of the Emma Frost actress in this travesty is that she was better than January Jones
That back changing shot looks like a Naked Gun gag lol
This is the type of movie that probably comes to mind of those who say comic book movies aren't cinema. 😂😂seriously tho.
I will say the movie did characterize and portray "M"/Monet correctly. In the comics, she's the embodiment of "Balrog has many powers" meme.
I saw this a while back and definitely remember Matt Frewer Jim Carrey-ing the shit out of this. Just one of the many bizarre ideas that went into this thing. You guys should follow up with Matt Frewer in 'Lawnmower Man 2'.
He played Trashcan man in The Stand Miniseries
😂 You KNOW they will do the Roger Corman F4 next.
I have old Wizard mags promoting this film and wondered about it. Thank you DT for enduring for us
You should check out the Special... all the the super-powered stuff happens off-screen. It was still fun with that James Gunn humor.
I had forgotten how bad this movie was. It's like they filmed it on the same Soundstage as Parker Lewis Can't Lose. I'm glad you guys found the version that has tons of bad language and sexual innuendo HILARIOUS
To be fair, Emma Frost is a psychic and she does the 'Jedi mind trick' in the comics. As do Jean Gray and Charles Xavier
I remember seeing the ad for this in Wizard Magazine and for awhile thought this movie was just a fever dream.
Wizard....that takes me back
35:11 Billy’s laugh is priceless. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If thought this was bad wait till u guys check out Justice league of america 1997 pilot.
48:35 😬Ma-an. Disney would never allow America Chavez to be called that by a nemesis.
Before Legion and The Gifted from X-Men spin off series.
whats a shame is when they put jubalee in x-men apocalypse they bench her
I remember Wizard magazine advertised this show back in 90's. I did watch it. Show sucked.
My thing about the wind and lightning powers with Emma Frost. Is weather effects are "Storms" powers- not Emma's.
Since you reacted to the Micheal Jackson, Woodstock and R Kelly documentary you should do the Nickelodeon documentary
There was another X-Men-esque TV series back in the day called Mutant X, which ran for three seasons.
Speaking of X-Men like TV Shows, you should check out a TV series from early 2000 called Mutant-X.
Mutant X is a science fiction television series created under a Marvel Comics license, but with no connection to the Mutant X comic book series. It debuted in first-run syndication on October 6, 2001.
The show was created by Avi Arad, and it centers on Mutant X, a team of "new mutants" who possess extraordinary powers as a result of genetic engineering.
The members of Mutant X were used as test subjects in a series of covert government experiments. The mission of Mutant X is to seek out and protect their fellow new mutants. The series was filmed in Toronto, Canada.
Dude! I haven't laugh this hard since the Benji the dummie video a few months ago. 🤣🤣
I remember watching this when it came out. I watched the 1st 30 to 45 minutes & gave up. I once saw the guy playing Angelo in a episode of New York Undercover with Earth Kitt playing his princepal.
3:43 love Wonder woman
11:26 so true lol
12:30 claw looks low budget
15:22 so low budget..
16:09 that joke is ancient 🥸
17:16 the power of being cheap ⚡
20:45 lmao 😂
21:50 girl let go of the hand!
28:30 lol 😆🪨
35:10 that's a man baby! 🌈😭👀
45:47 Matt Frewer as Jim Carrey
48:37 oh my... 👀
49:44 💯😂
56:21 the budget is horrible! 🤣
I remember this it was absolutely garbage so disjointed. 🤦♂️
These roasts always make me want me to watch these movies.
I heard about how bad it was but didn't expect it to be this bad. Male bodybuilder double for a slim blonde girl backshot. 😂
I miss The Gifted so much
I remember watching this on fox back in the day.
Roast of the 1997 Justice League of America pilot when?
the way they made martian manhunter look in that 😂 😂
Ironically for a movie called Generation X, the guy with the eye lasers kinda looks like Billy Idol.
It's ironic the film has Nightmare on Elm Street vibes with a villain behaving like Jim Carrey in The Mask. Since New Line actually wanted the director of the Mask, Chuck Russell (Who also directed Nightmare on Elm Street 3) to actually direct the Mask like a horror film in hopes of making him the new Freddy Krueger. Especially since the comic The Mask was based on, was brutal as fuck.
I want f-bomb Jubilee to be the sidekick for MCU Deadpool.
Gee, I guess She-Hulk wasn’t so bad now, don’t it?
At least She-Hulk had a great lead actress and stayed true to the comic's tone, it just had some sloppy writing and bad effects like the other Marvel shows that makes it easy to pick on. I'd still call it a step above shit like Generation X.
The only issues I had with She-Hulk was the inconsistency with the CGI from episode to episode. It was a okay show because it was a comedy but all the incells and bro-dudes who can’t get any in real life were the ones bashing and hating it online.
Both are different shades of bad.
But at least She-Hulk has a big budget.
I liked she-hulk other than that final episode.
I love the Gen X comics to this day. This movie is such a damn letdown. I was happy to have anything X-Men related at the time, but this has aged the worst out of any of the film/TV adaptations.
So true I mean the Gen13 movie was better than this they could’ve done better!
25:43 Is that Bumper Robinson? Dorian from A Different World, voice of Rook from Ben 10, voice of Bumblebee Bumper Robinson?
I think Matt Frewer was doing a combination of Jim Carrey and Robin Williams.
48:45 Double Toasted has educated me on something yet again.
26:41 Everyone’s points over these 3 minutes really summarize why a lot of the statements made by comic book movie reviewers associated with Comicsgate are just extremely moot and petty.
Do these types of reviewers just forget that they had to grow up with a lot of terrible looking adaptations with sloppy VFX, acting, and editing?
Say whatever you want about comic book movies and TV shows made over the last 5-10 years. At least we have far more adaptations that utilize the source material efficiently, have far superior VFX, know when it is fine to change a few things about the settings and characters, and actually show the cast and crew giving it their all. While we still get some mediocre adaptations, at least it is more obvious that the crew and cast are all putting in more effort than the people who worked on stuff such as Generation X.
05:15 Rick James: " They shoudn't have given yo' green ass MONEY!" 😂🤣😂
Is that Claudia Schiffer playing Emma Frost?
No it is Fiona Hughes. She was a soap star at the time and she was Charmed.
@lenindominguez1986she is a better actress than January Jones
@lenindominguez1986 the actress that played Emma Frost in X-men First Class.
...Fiona Hughes also starred opposite John Travolta in "Staying Alive"
Korey it would be very interesting to see you interview this black artist Dani Lalonders, who has created this new video-game centred specifically on Black People called "Validate", don't know if you've heard of it.
My new favorite channel these guys are hilarious
They also did Nick Fury Captain America, Dare Devil and Spiderman. Japan even had a version of Spiderman. The Thor from back then was the dad on Good Luck Charlie.
you guys would LOVE Mutant X
Toastedevenly here😋😋😁😁Seems like in the 90s and late 80s, there were always fight scenes in furnace rooms and random warehouses 😂😂🤣🤣
Why didn't they get a female bodybuilder for the girls part?
Oddly enough, the blonde looks like she could have played Husk, although maybe we wouldn't want to hear her attempt a Southern accent.

Ah, reminiscing about this gem from the past just popped up in my feed. Have you ever wanted to witness pure disappointment? Well, this movie was the epitome of it! We roasted this film so hard, we were practically roasting marshmallows. We even joked about watching it again just for the laughs. Seriously, if they were cutting corners, they should've gone with the New Mutants. I mean, one dude's mutant power was basically just chatting up anything he wanted! The biggest threat they faced? Themselves! It was cheap, it was easy, it was done! Oh, and fun fact: the director also helmed Nightmare on Elm Street 2. and nothing else of importance
Fun fact. Matt Frewer got the job for this because the producer had previously worked with him on Max Headroom. Someone is a big fan of him.
My wife is 42 and I'm 41 and even we knew who hootie and darius rucker were then their first album came out in 95 and this was 96
OMG now that film is hilariously bad 😅
@@thebrownbaldy haha I've never seen this movie
@@JeremyAustin-hw1qy You're not missing anything
@@thebrownbaldy i could see that while watching this video
Wow that edit in the beginning is some Zucker Brothers foolishness
It's more like Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer type of bullshit. 😒
I think this was a made for TV movie, or it just was on TV a bunch in the 90s. I remember watching this and thinking "is this an X Men show?"
MATT FREWER acted that way in MAX HEADROOM.
Wow. The dude who plays Mondo was from that show "Three." Nostalgia trip!
Now do 90s fantastic four. I hope dooms maniacle laugh is the highlight
Wonder Woman episode Knockout’ (1977).. starring Jayne Kennedy🔥🔥🔥
Hey, I loved this movie (even though I only saw up until the Carnival scene back then) 😅! I was so happy they made this movie because I collected the Generation-X comics back in the mid-90's, starting w/ issue #17. I loved the illustrator's work, the characters, etc. You had to have experienced it all back then to understand.
You're wearing a Today's Special T-Shirt!!! I used to love watching that show when I was a kid!!! What's on the white shirt?
