- It's the US vs Canada as the group suffers through three forgotten action films from the late 80s, culminating with Killing American Style -- the long-lost film from Samurai Cop director Amir Shervan.
"I'm Jim. I'm also a visual effects...... artist from Canada."
Never stop Jimming, Jim.
Penile code
I used to randomly see Jim around the area I work in and I really want to say to him how great he is in the show. One day...
@@ryan8401 Are you sure it wasn't another Canadian? They all look the same
@@ZachBonnell Does anyone know what Jim meant by that?
@@mellowyellow6572 it's just a play on the term penal code
I've noticed you can date these things just by how many copies of nukie they have
or by looking at the upload date hahahhah
gum ball you’re not likable.
@@shepherds3268 shame :(
@@ThePhantom4516 Fuck off gum balls.
You're assuming they don't just randomly change the number on display, just to fuck with us.
According to IMDb, Frank Stallone's "character" is named "Hack Stone". STALLONE YOU HACK
I'm surprised that's not another alternate name for Blast Hardcheese.
He turned up for 2 days, and on the way out he didn't even close the fuckin door!
@@roetheboat1 We put our faith in him!
Ah yes, the old bean factory, where they manufacture old beans. They're very popular in England, I understand.
A well timed jest that was, old bean.
Okay it's been 5 years but that was a good joke
@@purplefood1 Nothing feels better than somebody else appreciating your joke on the internet, even after half a decade.
@@TsunogaiDanshaku it's a well aged joke. Just like Old Beans™. Buy them today at the one and only Old Bean Factory.
@@TsunogaiDanshaku ...And 6 months later your joke is still going strong. Made me smile. Thanks buddy.
I like to imagine future archeologists digging up Robert Zidar and just being fucking baffled by his skull.
The missing link!!!!
He's a cool looking guy, but his chin is seriously too big for the rest of his face. It REALLY looks like it doesn't fit.
roarshach13 he has a very mild case of cherubism. it is a genetic disorder causing their chin to be huge.
Look up Artificial cranial deformation, people bound babies heads to make them grow into really alien looking skulls which have been found by archaeologists.
@@hankhill7827 That's what they want you to think
So... I love all the RLM team -- but I have to say Jay is my favorite.
For one thing, he's hilarious (as is everyone)... but he's also really good as drawing other people into the conversation, which is something I think is often underappreciated. Like if he thinks of something funny that should be brought up, he doesn't just bring it up himself, but he plants the seed and gets other people to talk about it.
He's also the "nice guy" -- in that he doesn't step on people's toes, he respects everyone else's opinion, and he's supportive of their jokes. You never really see him taking stabs at the others, and often when someone takes a stab at someone else, he'll jump in to defend them.
Basically, he's a fantastic team player in a platform where team playing is really important. And it compliments the rest of the team really well.
So yeah -- kudos.
tomatodamashi Well, he DOES have a little native American in him.
+Ben Wenger Someone's confirmed for gay for Jay
Stephen Carroll I have nothing to be ashamed of! =D
+Ben Wenger "Ben Wenger", sure Jay.
+Hoganply Well I'm a girl and I love Jay. :-)
I like how all of Rich's ideas for the ghetto blaster are taken straight from the guitar cases in Desperado.
Or the "Ghetto Blaster" disguised rocket launcher Q made in one of the 007 films.
Underappreciated film.
R.E. stole from Desperado... fair!!!!
I'm just glad they are fans of my reviews on Facebook.
@@fearlessjoebanzai I'm just sorry that you thought I was being serious when I made that comment.
At the video store I worked at as a kid we used to cover the "Frank' part of STALLONE with masking tape (because that is how we numbered the video tapes, masking tape on box, masking tape on the end of the tape, sharpie... boom! organization). Anyway, it was absolutely incredible how many people fell for it. More interesting, most people didn't notice it wasn't Sly.
I didn't grow up in the most enlightened part of Canada....
@Guld we put it on the plastic slip cover. Never on the tapes or the boxes. We invested in the plastic shells to keep the covers looking good as they circulated among a few stores.
@Guld

Use zippo lighter fluid, it will dissolve the glue, and not stain the cardboard (assuming its glossy)

Why is Frank Stallone barely in his own movies. It's like he's some kind of illusive mythical creature that you can only catch a glimpse of if you're lucky.
Based pfp.
Elusive
It wasn't the Loch Ness monster it was... You guessed it. Frank Stallone.
He's the shiny Stallone.
After he was in Rocky, he became too big to star in his starring roles
You should spray for Canadians monthly.
It's a good idea to put out maple syrup traps too, in case the spray doesn't cover uniformly.
That "wheeee" with the skater kid was on point.
Random as fuck. Lmao.
And two people said it.
I know this is 5 years later, but their Mom? Mom?! MOM?! was perfectly done as well lmao. 😂
That's how you know they've seen this one a fair few times lol
Frank Stallone seems like a cool dude, I had a friend who met him at a convention, dude was HILARIOUS and doesn't really take himself serious.

I gonna add this to the list of my legendary movie dialogs:
"Shut up!"
"Okay."
You know when you find something on UA-cam that you absolutely love and then you discover that there's two dozen more episodes? That's me with BOTW. Basically I'm set for the next two weeks.
Welcome, friend. Enjoy your stay!
I finally finished all of them! I think I need to start over.
You know when you finish all of them, you'll be where the rest of us are: in withdrawal and bitching at them to hurry the fuck up and release more episodes so we can get our fix.
***** That is exactly how I feel about Mr. Plinkett's reviews. God I want a new one to come out.

The horrible audio crust on Terror in Beaverly Hills makes Cameron Mitchell sound 4x funnier. Old guy sounds like he's screaming through an Xbox mic.
The Nukie collection was so small back then...
😢
It's even smaller now.
A trivial fact: Killing American Style was released in South Korea, retitled as "Gypsy". I don't know why. Maybe the long-hair guy seemed to be qualified as a gypsy by the Koreans' standard...
I thought killing american style and Gypsy were two separate movies?

Sometimes I wonder how the Canadians are able to appear so frequently, but then I remember Wisconsin is really close to Canada.
Dude. It's closer to Canada than new York.
Congrats on your 69th like.
They mention taking a flight, but I thought they just canoed down Lake Michigan.
@@TheeGrumpy me and a couple friends got in a shitload of trouble as kids when we canoed across the Detroit river to the shores of Windsor. Cops on boats came and got us and everything. Luckily we were only like 14 and they didn't press any charges on is but the Detroit police drove us all home and basically told our parents that we were lucky we weren't shot by mounted Canadian border patrol lol.
From Toronto, Ontario it is like a 2 and a half hour flight including boarding ascent and decent = )
I’m a little late to the party on this one, but according to IMDb my A-Level English Literature teacher was in Killing American Style, and another Amir Shervan film called Young Rebels
Did you question them to confirm your suspicions?
Young Rebels is so bad it's great
Holy crap. A few days ago I was in a short film and my character was murdered by Richard Hatch from ghetto blaster. I feel more honored than ever now.
Omg it’s Gordon Tarpley, waddup! Why am I not surprised
Amazing! Where can we watch the short? Thanks for stopping by!
@@mydemon it's called "Load Out: Going in Hot" I'll see if I can find a link
@@gordontarpley Will we ever get a conclusion to this 8 year wait?
I like how the American flag in the background is torn, raggedy and have duct tape on it and the Canadian flag looks pristine.
One flag has clearly survived more battles than the other.
@@bigbadseed7665 I know it's 2 years later, but I need to ask; was the irony in your statement intentional or are you stockpiling canned goods for the US' next Middle East resource war adventure?
@@sevatarlives185 I was just joking man. Like Canada is a more peace-loving nation, and that's a bad thing or something. At least I think that's what I meant. I dont fully remember.
@@bigbadseed7665 No problem man, good luck with all your endeavours!
@@bigbadseed7665 It's not even really accurate. Canada has sent troops pretty much anywhere either the US or UK has fought at and their soldiers are some of the best in the world.

Shh, same thing.
Ghetto blaster was 4.99 but I can go to the Walmart grocery store down the road and get a copy of return of the king for 3.50
Gonna need some details here chief. We talking standard edition or the extended cut, cause if it’s just the standard version then it’s a rip off even at that price /s
Half Moon Fox I’ve never seen the standard version, but the extended cut has about 34 different endings. Tell me how they sail away into the sunset with music that’s clearly meant to end the movie, the screen fades to white, and they STILL cut to another scene with Sam and his family.
I’d rather watch Ghetto Blaster...
Ben that’s how the books are written...
@@Ben-xj2rf The standard version only has about 20 endings.
Rich's ideas for what Ghetto Blaster should have been like are legitimately great, and the fact that no one has made that version of the movie yet is seriously disappointing.
Rich Evans is the ultimate post-mortem script doctor. He’s seriously talented at fixing movie problems in the most pragmatic ways.
@@itsd0nk Love his fixes. They top Mike's theoretical treatments for movies for me. Is there a compilation out there?
@@stephencarroll4681 Probably, if you look for them. Any BoTW episode he’s in is always great in general. One of my favorite succinct ones was “GIVE THEM FLASHLIGHTS!”, in one of those terrible Ted Prior movies in the woods at night. 😂
Well, if you watch any of the El Mariachi movies with Antonia Banderas, there is an implementation of the idea with guitars with weaponry and explosives hidden in them.
I wonder how the crew feel about the ads running for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 over their videos
They had Furious 7 ones a couple weeks ago. In Milwaukee and always drunk as skunks, why no Miller beer commercials? It'd make sense.
Thew Adams it's called adblock plus
Thew Adams What are these ads you are concerned with?
Jonathan Lewis and Jason Jenkins he's talking about the commercials UA-cam puts in front of videos. AdBlock doesn't block those and you can't skip all of them. I've not watched videos I've been interested in because of crap like mission impossible 15 commercials that are 30 seconds long and I can't skip.
I don't mind an ad or two. My brain blocks 'em out anyway. All Adblock does is stop UA-camrs getting paid.
Rich Evans CONFIRMED for American flag.
Is Rich Evan's replacing the american flag?
The Salt Merchant Nah, but he should be on the dollar bill though 😂
@@Jdsteele96 I would move to America just to throw Rich Evans faces at strippers.
True fact: Most beans still around today were originally made in that old bean factory.
Robert Zadar looks like a Family Guy character.
American Dad
The cop-fella in the wheelchair in American Dad
Or Captain Qwark
Or your mom
Killing: prothagnous style!
I might have missed it, but did they ever address the fact that Terror in Beverly Hills has possibly the worst audio _EVER_ ?
It sounds like it was all recorded after the fact, and then played through an old brass tube.
Every time I rewatch this I always find it hilarious Ghetto Blaster was a urban warfare specialist in Vietnam…
The government needed to build a city and they would have won
you can tell Mike has never bought drugs, he clearly doesn't get that more people means less suspicion.
yeah, exchanging something alone at night is a thousand times more suspicious than in a crowded park in the day.
I was expecting Mike to grab a fire extinguisher and spray Rich with it at the end.
I thought that too lol
When i say he laughed at the way he ran out of shot, dude i almost died

Robert Z'Dar
56:00
Maybe my favorite redletter moment of any video. You guys are just spot on editors.
You're always in for a cinematic treat when Robert Z'Dar shows up in a movie!
So killing American style is just shooting someone in the chest? The hell?
Of course, don't you remember the twelfth amendment: "Not in the face"
TheVengefulEagle Unrelated but that profile pic just made me MAD nostalgic.
TheDonBarracuda No, Killing Floridian Style is getting high on a mix of cocaine, meth, and bath salts, striping nude, then beating someone to death with a small animal.
Killing american style should obviously involve shooting people with robots in the sky.
Atleast it is not in the balls :)
I really miss Jessie(hope I got it right) her laugh was almost as infectious as Rich's. The videos with the two of them laughing together really helped me through some rough times. Screw all those creepers who chased her away.
@@InVinoVeratas she was great. dont be a fucking douchebag
Her laugh sounds so forced, though! Like she feels like she needed to out do rich!
Bailey Green I agree with you.
Ghetto Blaster feels like a huge pile of wasted potential. Frankly, I think they should have taken the clown setup and gone all the way with it. Professional clown's family is killed by gangsters and he goes and enacts bloody, fully clown-themed revenge. Instant cult classic.
Literally anything is better than the bland nothing the movie turned out to be.
It even has APOLLO FROM BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!
U guys the president in Terror in Beverly Hills is Normad from Geteven, just throwing it out there.
"Jay, the Canadian visual effects artist are multiplying again." XD
It's the "again" that really sells that joke for me.
Is that Frank Stallone's gimmick? He shows up in these B-action films advertised as the star but ends up only being in the movie for like 10-20 minutes. I'm wondering because there was another film, similar to this, where he's billed as the star but ends up only be a minor player.
+Ben Davis I know they did that in Night Claws and at least one other movie, so maybe it is intentional.
+Ben Davis WHERE IS FRANK STALONE?!
+Ben Davis Most likely, since he cannot act and they will only pay him a small amount - so he refuse to show up to more than a few days of work...and the producers hope his last name may trick some to rent it.
That movie was Lethal Games, Spoony did a review of it.
Is the other movie you're talking about Hudsen Hawk? I was so disappointed when he only appeared on screen for a few minutes. They probably couldn't afford to have him for the whole movie
this is totally my new favorite show
You still watching 4 years on?
RIP Robert.
He was a sexy mofo in this movie. Not hard to see why the ladies all wanted him.
I like seeing the progression of the KOTOR poster on the wall in the viewing room. Last time it was just the poster on the wall, now it has a frame.
The star of Terror in Beverly Hills?
You guessed it: Frank Stallone.
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
That guy is a real jerk.
He's too big to fail
The worst part was the hypocrisy
RIP Norm
Great episode, made all the more special by it's guest appearance. How on earth did you manage to get Margaret Thatcher to appear on the show, and for such length?!
spugesdu this must have been around the time she died on her good-will tour 😢
I know this is old as shit and no one will see it but fun fact. Those police lights ( at 20:50 ) actually make noise when they're turned on and they're actually extremely loud.
..That poor cat. That's really sad.
I was in Gold's Gym Venice a while back and I saw Frank Stallone. I'm not sure I would have recognised him, but he had a shirt on with his own name emblazed across it which helped.
Thanks to this video, earlier this day a friend actually was screaming in agonizing pain after he hurt his back and as I helped him I couldn't stop laughing.
Everytime I watch a red letter media video, l stop and remember how they saved me from buying the Star Wars Blu Ray collection and drink to their health.
@Sam Roscoe Every time RedLetterMedia watches a video, they drink. Circle of booze, yo.
Random trivia: the bartender in Terror in Beverly Hills is played by Ramesh Pandey who also appears in an episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!
Killing American Style is literally the only LEGITIMATE time Dan Hibiki was relevant
8ulls3y3 Absolutely. It was Dan Hibiki's moment to shine, and the movie fucked up
no way. dan is actually likable
aza4444 That's exactly WHY the movie fucked up. I would LOVE a movie starring Dan where, for once, he's actually a hero and doesn't fail horribly (i.e. character development). Let him take a level in badass. That is why the movie failed.
Dan is always relevant. Using Dan to dab on scrubs is the best.
Jay, the Canadian visual effects artists are multiplying again!
The "protagonist" from Killing American Style looks like Dan from Street Fighter XD
Rich Evans: Half fat, half bald, and all American.
All AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSS!
Balding: American Style!
that ending was the greatest scene ever filmed. poor rich lol
42:39
The most heart-warming Jay laugh ever. It makes me laugh like an idiot when someone loses their shit on a great joke.
I love the small gags built into these episodes, like Colin inserted into episodes he wasn’t there. It really shows the level of thought/effort out into the show.
Robert Z'Dar died last month.
It was sad until I remembered Killing American Style existed.
7 (almost 8) years later, we must all remember to close the fucking doors
That ending was the goddamn best thing RLM has ever done
I always though Robert Z'Dar just had a very special jaw but he actually had a very rare genetic disorder called Cherubism that causes prominence in the lower portion in the face.
19:57 Love this, they couldn't afford an armourer who had a real fullauto MAC so the guy's having to work his finger like he's pumping a water pistol on a semi-auto.
R.I.P. Robert Z´Dar died March 30, 2015 (age 64) in Pensacola, Florida, USA
Rich's laugh always makes these 1000% funnier.
One of the best episodes so far! Thanks, guys!
What people wanted: "The Living Daylights" boombox taken to an absolute extreme.
What they got: Richard Hatch.
That was amazing. Laughed the whole way through! I don't care how long it takes you guys to release these. They are gold every time.
Frank stallone was excellent in that song about turning a bedroom back into a computer room.
Thank you guys for that amazing episode. Keep up the good work.
Jay with Colin is like when two Mortys hang out
Old bean factory sounds like a euphemism
Killing American Style HAS a great wardrobe. Perfect for cosplay, or just inspiration. ♡
these videos are timeless
Oh my god, seeing Mike in gaudy outfit murdered me.
The director saw the last scene of lethal weapon but didn't understand why the cops allowed Riggs to go one on one fighting with the bad guy while they watched. It was mimicked up to the last part where the bad guy picks up the gun and both the cop (who had a lot more impact because he was his partner) and Riggs both shot him at the same time.
whadayadoinamycat?
4:20 - OH GOD THE AUDIO!!!!
Gheto Blaster is essentially Kevin from home alone in his 30's taking on crininals with goofy traps.
Go to 38:26
The cop who gets shot has his pants split open at the crotch like, ridiculously a lot, like down each thigh to the knee.
Maybe they could only find tearaway stripper cop pants?

Yay, Colin is back!
The main bad thing about Terror in Beverly Hills was that the audio track was fed through a meat grinder.
I was always irritated by that. There's worse audio compression on that movie than in the original Half-Life.
I’m really surprised no one noted that. It sounds horrible
@@TheKogunEnjouI think it's mostly their tape. There's a laserdisc rip of it on UA-cam and while the audio isn't exactly "good" it's not clipped to shit like it is here. That bad audio makes it funnier though. Distorted ass drunk Cameron Mitchell
@@mousasha- They didn't have a tape, it was a DVD release. So it must've been a screw-up on whoever handled the transfer to DVD?
@@Takimeko ah yeah probably that then. Honestly the worse audio makes the movie better lol. Nothin quite like pissed off Cameron Mitchell's distorted voice
Every time I see Colin I just see Harpo Marx. It's uncanny.
Oh, damn. You're so right.
YES!
I love the Canadians. Bring them back more often.
5:06
And here I thought Killing Canadian Style involved hockey sticks, maple syrup, poutine, and seal clubbing.
the ending had me in tears. these guys are genius!!
that pink overalls scene, the dude is like a hybrid of bret hart and dan from street fighter
1:18 little known fact, Canadians always have to face North towards Mecca
That was outstanding! And I am literally in tears from laughing at that ending with Mike running away from Rich's pain. Happy 5th of July, everybody!
8:25 is a realistic reaction to getting shot with a pistol. People flop around, try to get back up, call your mother nasty names etc. You almost only see it in indie B movies and I always wonder if they know they were doing it [closer to] right.
Rewatching this now that I know Ghetto Blaster lives rent free in Jay's head
I love Jim and Colin
