Lol the movie is good If you watch or read the Story you would now the CEOS of Sony wanted Venom and Raimi Not And that plot is added with 2 more villains ruining the Story but not so much for me
@@mr_0n10n5 I love the movie too, it is lots of fun and my only real problem was forcing Venom in there which overcomplicated the plot and the whole romance side wasn't done very well. But nonetheless those two things make the film worse than the previous to the point I would still say the one scene was of a much higher quality for a film that didn't meet expectations
Doom (2005) was absolutely bad cashgrab on a popular video game franchise. But that scene when he wakes up in first-person view and he gets the gun and starts a crazy shootout which imitates the actual games was such a surprise and fan-service moment that I loved it.
and it's a really fun movie to watch as a 'shitty sci-di action comedy' (basically get high as hell and laugh hysterically while watching with friends)
I legitimately have used that Hellboy/Abe drunk heartbroken sing-along scene to teach so many film concepts. S tier sfx and world building because you never think about the fact that this is the last son of Atlantis and the key to the apocalypse,... It's just a dude gettin drunk with his bff to help him through a breakup. Pretty much all of us have been on both sides of that situation. Such a genuine human moment that technically contains no humans.
Fellow Valerian opening sequence enjoyer. That scene honestly made me cry the first time I saw it I thought it was so good. Most first-contact stories are tinged with fear, if not outright violence, so one where all the aliens are happy to meet humanity and work together with us felt unique and honestly heartwarming. Not to mention the sequence before the aliens even show up where the various human nations of the world join up with the station after developing their own successful space programs. It’s a simple scene on paper, but it implies such a wonderfully optimistic view of the future that I can’t help but adore it. Shame it kind of makes the rest of the movie feel worse by comparison. Valerian isn’t unwatchable by any means, but that early peak made me a much harsher judge than I think I would have been otherwise. (Edit: spelling)
That opening and my nostalgia glasses for the 5th Element made me think I was in for something really special... I almost was. Close but no cigar. Feels like the product of studio meddling.
@@bottledwaterprod Having seen much of Luc Besson's work, I think the problem really comes down to him Just Not Being That Good in most aspects of the trade other than visuals, but particularly writing.
I second this. I am loving each and every video that's coming out but DAMN are they being made FAST and that could lead to some serious burnout If we have to wait longer for videos to drop, i think we'll be willing to do so, especially if it means preserving both the quality of the videos AND Pancake's mental health--
I'm in agreement here. I'd rather fewer videos that you want to make and be proud of years from now than a ton of content at once and eventually dropping off the face of the earth.
I think a lot of movies that people call "bad" are simply "mediocre." where in reality, they are still fun to watch, but when compared to a lot of other films, falls short. I do think as long as a film is relatively entertaining to watch, then it's not "bad". (Unless it's one of those so bad that it's good situations.)
Not really. There genuinely are just terrible movies. I do enjoy these videos as there can be some good aspects of bad movies, but the bad outweighs the good in every possible way.
Tbh the bar for bad movies has dropped a lot in recent years. Atleast in older movies you could see glimpses of artistry, especially with a lot of practical set pieces. Rushed cgi and lazily adapted source material is very common now by big studios
Finally Lone Ranger’s ending getting some recognition. I took my grandpa to see it, because he’s a long time western and Lone Ranger aficcionado. The smile on his face during that final train chase was priceless.
The Lone Ranger feels like almost a good movie if everything was 5 inches to the left. It looks like something that will be really fun and funny but is pulling back.
Even the few shots used in this video,... it's like they hired a first year film student as DP. Or idk, kinda looks like it was forcibly (and badly) reframed because of the odd angles and low detail. Maybe they tried doing something stylistically relevant to the western genre by shooting in ultra wide anamorphics, but then the distributor decided they wouldn't pay to print it like that.
The Lone Ranger was an atrocious film, but I have to say the bit near the end where the Ranger says the famous Hi-ho Silver line, only for it to hard-cut to Johnny Depp telling him to cut that shit out lives in my head rent free. Great video!
I have not found any proven accusations, so it actually took me out of the video. Hollywood is full of creeps, but so is the internet of stupid people playing court, so it's hard to tell who is right here.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has to be my guilty pleasure movie. But it’s bc I love movies that collect a bunch of distinct characters as a party. And then honestly all of the fight scenes, the Nautilus, and captain Nemo himself are so visually appealing and entertaining
Some of my favorites: Spider-Man 3: When Sandman first comes to after being transformed and doesn’t know how to keep himself in one piece. The emotion and tragedy conveyed without saying anything is breathtaking. Oz the Great & Powerful: When he goes to that shattered down and helps the broken doll walk again. Despite the movie being… bad, this scene does have a sort of gentle whimsy to it that I often think of.
I was about to riot when I saw Hellboy 2 in the spoiler warning, largely because I ended up agreeing with your opinion on it. It's a crime that we got the reboot instead of a third Del Toro movie.
Dude if you said Hellboy 2 was a bad movie I'd have to start throwing hands. I agree the first one was meh but I'm eternally mad we didn't get the real third sequel. Can't wait for the new one coming out soon that's actually based on a comic storyline.
Surprised you didn’t mention the scene in the Robocop reboot where Alex Murphy sees his destroyed body for the first time. The scene was pretty emotional and disturbing. Movie is extremely ass but that scene was pretty well done.
1) I can't remember anything else about Willow Creek but regularly think about the ending 2) that version of the William Tell Overture is my favorite for running/cardio 3) good job on the video, my only note is that I was audio-only and there wasn't a transition between films 4) give Pancake an extra kiss for us
I’d love a part 2! Such a fun video! I haven’t thought about Valerian and the city of a thousand planets in a long time but as soon as you said the name I remembered the opening because it was the first time I’d ever heard space oddity. What a blast from the past, I was a kid when I saw it in theaters!
OKAY just finished the video, my turn. In the movie PRIEST (2011), I LOOOVE the part when Karl Urban's character takes over the little town, and this huge orchestral song (Dies Irae by Mozart??) plays while the vampire creatures tear the town apart and he's dancing in the middle of the dirt road. It's corny but fun, fun, fun. A similar scene would be the town take over in 30 Days of Night. I don't think that movie is bad, but a little underrated. And finally, the scene when the mist appears in the beginning of The Mist (2007). The tension of the sirens going off while that one character runs toward the store with the bloody nose. The use of the handheld camera and the patrons reactions and confusion is really tense. Loved this video! Hopefully you get what I mean but- I LOVE SCENES! Love a good scene.
Probably my favourite "good moment in a bad movie" is in 2024's Garfield movie In the scene where Garfield is trying to live his life like normal, theres this absolutrly incredible shift in tone where usually wacky and vibrant colours and lighting suddenly shift to something far more realistic as Garfield gets a revelation surrounding his father. Its a really unexoected bit of cinematic storytelling which fascinates me since it feels so tonally unique compared to the rest of the film
I’ve been searching for World’s Greatest Dad for ages because I knew it existed but could never find it as I saw it on TV one time. Props to you for unlocking a memory
I LOOOOVE HELLBOY II!! I was OBSSESSED as a kid. The second opening scene (after baby Hellboy's little scene) with Prince Nuada (?? I THINK that's his name? middle school crush) and the releasing of the tooth fairies UMPH that scene is SO sick, I go back to it every now and then.
Thinking about this one I would say the train crash in Super 8 is one of those things that sticks out in my mind. I haven't seen it in years but at the time it was one of those moments that went on for like waaaaay too long in reality but watching it is such a great visual and auditory experience that I still remember it to this day despite how mid the rest of the movie is
This is a great shout, if I would've thought of it it probably would have made the cut but for a totally different scene. I've always found the ending where he *SPOILERS* lets go of the locket to be affecting but thats mostly due to Giacchino's score being so good probably
The opening sequence in blade where he kills all the vampires is genuinely great, it introduces blade and his whole deal, it introduces the vamps, and it sets the tone for the whole movie I love it
A lot of the visual elements within Alien: Resurrection is a huge thing I enjoy, but the scene where they are swimming away from Xenomorphs is especially spectacular in my eyes. I know the film is lauded within the series, but I find it to be a fun watch, especially when watched through the lens that it is an absurdist French New-Wave gothic comedy.
God, I wish there was more good Hellboy media. The comics and Del Toros original duo are sooo important to me, in an almost indescribable way. Theres so much potential in the universe and characters, and its just been squandered over and over again. There are at least 3 video games and they're all laughably bad, and the less said about the 2019 reboot the better. I havent seen the crooked man yet, but i really hope its good. My boy deserves better
A shame, really, since I consider the Fifth Element to be my favorite movie. I had no idea to be honest, though when I saw the 25th anniversary rerelease in theaters, I got bad vibes from Luc during the little "history of the film" documentary they did at the beginning.
@@stephenhoward4402 _Chinatown_ is an all-time classic film that everyone needs to see at least once. Roman Polanski belongs in jail. Both of these statements are true.
@@dwc1964I still remember the letdown I had after watching Rosemary’s Baby, searching up its history, and then learning about its director. And then it hit rock bottom when I learned that over 150 film industry professionals, plenty of whom I respect for their craft, signed a petition to just excuse him for the crime he committed.
Wow. The more of these types of videos I watch, the more I learn that I have rarely seen a bad movie or even movies in general. Honestly, wish I would watch more.
Considering that Valerian was heavily based on work by a genuinely beloved genius, I'm not really surprised that you can keep coming back to find snippets of the movie worth caring about, it's just kind of a testament to how hard it is to turn things into movies. I wonder if the movie still flops if you wave a magic wand and the casting is better, since everyone blames the casting as a big issue.
My favourite part of the creator is the scenes with the space station scanning the ground. It’s just so chilling and the fact that they are all silent it’s almost like a horror scene. Just seeing the light move across is again just so chilling
Pancake my love, could you put chapter breaks in your timeline for your vids? it make it easier to screen for spoilers and is generally just good practiice. Also, remember to breathe while narrating my guy
Thanks! I did put them but it seems like they werent popping up, I reformated it & they're showing now for lemme know if it's still not working on y'alls end
I think the Creator also had some other really good Moments, like for example the bomb Robot or some of the Robot familys and the death of his wive, but maybe i also just love John David Washington, Yeah it’s probably that
The Creator was fantastic I thought. Not necessarily award winning, but it had super smooth CGI that wasn't really noticeable with the practical elements being used so well.
In the Last Jedi, when Poe and the crew are about give up hope and accept defeat but then all the ships from all over the galaxy appear at once. Thats a really awesome scene in a mediocre film.
First one that comes to mind is The Empty Man's scene where the main character is hiding in the dark from this strange cult ritual and then it suddenly stops and they're all looking at him. Phenomenally well done in a messy pointless movie.
Something I would have added to this video is the constructicons combining into devastator in transformers revenge of the fallen, or the forest fight scene from the same film. Peak of CGI.
finding out Luc Besson was a massive creep a couple years back was such a weird experience. also finding out the ymade a horror version of Arthur and the Invisibles
There is another interesting scene in ghost ship that stick with me, that's when the ship finally sank and you can see all the ghost swimming up and finally free. In Netflix's Death note, I love how Ryuk warned Light about writing his name on the book and the most letter one was able to put was two.
When I was a kid I loved those bigfoot shows on the discovery channel and I remember one night my family and I were watching some sort of Bigfoot documentary on the tv and the ending freaked me out so bad. I never remembered the name of it and I kind of thought I had imagined it, but it was definitely willow creek. As a child I didn’t understand found footage horror so I thought it was real lol
I would volunteer, also from the Death Note movie, the introduction of Ryuk. I read the whole manga and didn't mind the movie doing its own thing, but I also don't remember much about it. My overall memory is positive though just based on the design, voice, and humor of Ryuk. "No shark attacks on the toilet, funny as that would be." The scene in that recent Tarzan movie that was so forgettable, where he shows a child his long hands. There really is a woman whose growth plates fused longer because she spent so much time climbing trees with monkeys as a child in Africa. Great detail to include. The "classical music" scene in one of those the new Star Trek movies. Into Darkness, I think. Wouldn't call them bad but they just don't grip me like the older shows. Not even a fan of the Beasty Boys but the line delivery of "Is that classical music?" made that scene both incredibly funny and enjoyably action-packed.
The quality and upload speed of these videos is so top tier. This channel's gonna blow up soon, I hope you have a looooong list of ideas and aren't burning through them too fast because I think you have some serious staying power.
dead man's bones shoutout! the project was initially intended as a stage play, but it really is such a fantastic album. a great listen for spooky season.
I need to find a way to watch Ghost Ship. All I can remember of it is being traumatized by that cable scene as a kid when i caught it on the Sci-Fi channel
There’s this movie I personally love, but I’ve heard a lot of people call it bad and it didn’t get particularly good ratings; Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. There’s this one scene in the movie where Mr. Magorium (in this kids movie) talks about death. It’s quite an interesting scene and it does a good job of talking about the concept to a young audience. If you search the movie’s title plus shoes you’ll find it.
thats the one where they had to gut the whole film because Heath Ledger died, it's an absolute clusterfuck. Terry Gilliam wildness, replacing the lead with 3 other actors for large sections. However, in keeping with the theme of Pancakes' video, Tom Waits' performance as THE DEVIL iin that movie is fantastic. In fact didn't pancake do a video on depictions of satan? I'm not sure that one made the cut.
I got so hyped at the mention of 'Ghost Ship', because it is a truly terrible movie with so many twists there is barely a coherent plot, but I adore watching it under the lens of 'supernatural horror comedy', and still think that the opening sequence is peak cinema
Lone Ranger deserves a lot more credit than it is given. First off the Johnny Depp issue honestly isn’t that big of a deal, especially since he was easily the best character in the movie. Secondly, I don’t think it’s too long or boring. I seriously don’t get why people hate on movies because they’re “too long”. It isn’t the movies fault, it’s your for not being able to sit down for 2 and a half hours. Lastly, I do very much enjoy the action sequences. Some of the best by Verbanski imo, and it just looks beautiful.
The movie sucks cause the Lone Ranger is lame person the whole movie, the movie is just a western Pirates of the Carribean not a Lone Ranger movie, and Johnny Depp does red face lol
@@petermj1098 I personally think that’s fun though. You can disagree, doesn’t mean some can’t enjoy it. Also, saying a movie is bad because an actor plays a Native American is silly. Remember Tropic Thunder? Don’t see anyone getting mad at RDJ for doing blackface 😂
@@DilPickle-jv4dh Yeah, because RDJ was a white actor playing a white character. Johnny Depp was a white actor playing a Native American character. That's an issue.
Ohh wow, good timing. This video popped up in my recommended just a day after I watched Ghost Ship for the first time. I don't know if I've just seen too much shit but I don't think I would call it "bad" haha I agree about the opening sequence though. Really caught me off guard. Loved the video and subscribed :)
A lot of these come down to: someone had an awesome idea for a single scene/sequence and unsuccessful tried to build a film around it. Often times it's an awesome opening, closing or chase sequences that's clearly had either a big chunk of the budget or filming schedule allocated to it.
OH also I would like to beg for more fargo material I was so excited to see you mention it in your depictions of the devil video and would love to hear you talk more about it if it’s something you’d be interested in making!
One moment i think doesn't get talked about enough was lex luthors quote from batman v Superman: "If god is all good he can not be all powerful and if he is all powerful he can not be all good"
While I haven’t seen any of those other movies since they’re not really well liked, I do remember going to see the Lone Ranger in theaters as a kid and loving that ending sequence. I never really liked westerns and did not understand the problematic casting at the time, and I totally forgot everything else that happens in the move, but wow the train scene is cool. You’re right it’s sorta like a Mad Max sequence, and Rossini’s overture is the perfect piece. I didn’t even know it was a new rendition, I remember the original being just as exhilarating.
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I absolutely love it! I'd love more videos on this topic. I'm a movie optimist; if I had fun watching, then it wasn't a "bad" movie, even when it is very much a bad movie 😂. The example that comes to mind is Morbius, it is an objectively bad film and 90% of it is truly a slog. But damnit if the scenes of Matt Smith *throwing* every classically trained actor molecule of himself into his role, chomping the scenery like a kaiju, Going Through It for this bit role in the MCU...only for us to pan over to Leto's completely expressionless Botoxed face and blank delivery of ostensibly emotional dialogue 😂. It was like Smith was a tidal wave crashing against a concrete levy, I find it so fun.
My favorite great moment from a “bad” film is the Godzilla drop sequence from Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019). After a long fight with Ghidorah, Godzilla gets picked up by Ghidorah and lifted into the clouds in the night sky. The clouds and lightning are a bright yellow because of the flaming city below them. This color is also used to represent Ghidorah’s victory since yellow is the primary color in his design. When high up in the air, Ghidorah drops Godzilla and Godzilla burns as he falls through the atmosphere. It’s reminiscent of the dropping of the atom bomb which was the inspiration for Godzilla in the first place. This whole sequence is paired with a sweeping score to raise the devastation of the moment to its maximum. I will never forget seeing that in a theater.
@@akwala__ I personally really enjoyed it too! Despite the flaws in its narrative, the action sequences are incredible and clearly the highlight of the film. That being said, online reviews show that it had a 6/10 on IMDB, a 2.8 stars on Letterboxed, and a 42% on Rotton Tomato. While I also enjoyed the film, it looks like the internet did not .😔
I’m convinced mediocre films with great scenes were completely formed around those specific scenes. Then they get funded because they show the storyboard for those specific moments and the studios convinced that if that scene is that well thought out then the rest will be to
Even though the video is about "bad movies" I'm still glad to see Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom appreciation. In my opinion that movie is super overhated and is easily the best Jurassic Park sequel. As for the video topic an example I would go with is the iconic Optimus Prime 1v3 in the forest in Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen.
gasped when I saw yet another pancake video on the timeline!!!! so excited to watch everything you put out at whatever speed you wanna make em 🙂↕️🙂↕️
Jurassic World 2 i watched ON CINEMAS and in that time makes laugh that "the plot" is quite literally: "We are Greenpeace with dinos we should liberate an extinguish species they deserved to live even if destroys a lot of other species" That and the clone plot are just **kisscheff* of bad decisions but then you have a lot of good scenes like the volcano or the guy wanted to cut the tooth of the evil dino or the mansion is almost like DinoCrisis the live action i dont know how to explained 😂

I’ve been searching for World’s Greatest Dad for ages because I knew it existed but could never find it as I saw it on TV one time. Props to you for unlocking a memory
I LOOOOVE HELLBOY II!! I was OBSSESSED as a kid. The second opening scene (after baby Hellboy's little scene) with Prince Nuada (?? I THINK that's his name? middle school crush) and the releasing of the tooth fairies UMPH that scene is SO sick, I go back to it every now and then.
i think a video about your favorite trailers would be cool. love the videos, man, keep it up 🩷
Thinking about this one I would say the train crash in Super 8 is one of those things that sticks out in my mind. I haven't seen it in years but at the time it was one of those moments that went on for like waaaaay too long in reality but watching it is such a great visual and auditory experience that I still remember it to this day despite how mid the rest of the movie is
This is a great shout, if I would've thought of it it probably would have made the cut but for a totally different scene. I've always found the ending where he *SPOILERS* lets go of the locket to be affecting but thats mostly due to Giacchino's score being so good probably
@@PancakeOnUA-cam Fuck that's a really good one lmao
The opening sequence in blade where he kills all the vampires is genuinely great, it introduces blade and his whole deal, it introduces the vamps, and it sets the tone for the whole movie I love it
A lot of the visual elements within Alien: Resurrection is a huge thing I enjoy, but the scene where they are swimming away from Xenomorphs is especially spectacular in my eyes. I know the film is lauded within the series, but I find it to be a fun watch, especially when watched through the lens that it is an absurdist French New-Wave gothic comedy.
Valerian has my favourite intro ever with the montage of the ISS over time. It's just such a hopeful glimpse of an alternative future.
God, I wish there was more good Hellboy media. The comics and Del Toros original duo are sooo important to me, in an almost indescribable way. Theres so much potential in the universe and characters, and its just been squandered over and over again. There are at least 3 video games and they're all laughably bad, and the less said about the 2019 reboot the better. I havent seen the crooked man yet, but i really hope its good. My boy deserves better
The Crooked is fine, but i won't say its good
Thank God that people are FINALLY calling Luc Besson a creep in public.
Folks have been excusing his bullshit for decades. Fuck that guy.
A shame, really, since I consider the Fifth Element to be my favorite movie.
I had no idea to be honest, though when I saw the 25th anniversary rerelease in theaters, I got bad vibes from Luc during the little "history of the film" documentary they did at the beginning.
@@stephenhoward4402 in the case of Fifth Element I think it's safe to separate the art from the artist.
@@stephenhoward4402 _Chinatown_ is an all-time classic film that everyone needs to see at least once. Roman Polanski belongs in jail. Both of these statements are true.
@@dwc1964I still remember the letdown I had after watching Rosemary’s Baby, searching up its history, and then learning about its director. And then it hit rock bottom when I learned that over 150 film industry professionals, plenty of whom I respect for their craft, signed a petition to just excuse him for the crime he committed.
Holy crap! You absolutely nailed it. Hellboy (2019) is litererally one of my favorite movies just for that scene alone. This video is super relatable.
Yayyy some positivity when talking about media truly unheard of
Wow. The more of these types of videos I watch, the more I learn that I have rarely seen a bad movie or even movies in general.
Honestly, wish I would watch more.
The Golden Army is a damn MASTERpiece!
Considering that Valerian was heavily based on work by a genuinely beloved genius, I'm not really surprised that you can keep coming back to find snippets of the movie worth caring about, it's just kind of a testament to how hard it is to turn things into movies. I wonder if the movie still flops if you wave a magic wand and the casting is better, since everyone blames the casting as a big issue.
Your videos are fire! Here's a suggestion: best on-screen romances or maybe rivalries?
My favourite part of the creator is the scenes with the space station scanning the ground. It’s just so chilling and the fact that they are all silent it’s almost like a horror scene. Just seeing the light move across is again just so chilling
Pancake my love, could you put chapter breaks in your timeline for your vids? it make it easier to screen for spoilers and is generally just good practiice.
Also, remember to breathe while narrating my guy
Thanks! I did put them but it seems like they werent popping up, I reformated it & they're showing now for lemme know if it's still not working on y'alls end
I think the Creator also had some other really good Moments, like for example the bomb Robot or some of the Robot familys and the death of his wive, but maybe i also just love John David Washington, Yeah it’s probably that
The Creator was fantastic I thought. Not necessarily award winning, but it had super smooth CGI that wasn't really noticeable with the practical elements being used so well.
I love it. the radiohead sequence is one of my favorites.
the whole movie just hits me in the feels man
We need bad moments in great movies next
Every time someone says the word "market" I can't not think of the guy yelling "BIG MARKET!"
In the Last Jedi, when Poe and the crew are about give up hope and accept defeat but then all the ships from all over the galaxy appear at once. Thats a really awesome scene in a mediocre film.
You mean a Rise of Skywalker
To me that's like the worst part of the film. lol
Lord of the rings did that better
Idk man the fact that these ships just kinda assembled off-screen is so unbelievably lazy and lame to me
First one that comes to mind is The Empty Man's scene where the main character is hiding in the dark from this strange cult ritual and then it suddenly stops and they're all looking at him. Phenomenally well done in a messy pointless movie.
Something I would have added to this video is the constructicons combining into devastator in transformers revenge of the fallen, or the forest fight scene from the same film. Peak of CGI.
finding out Luc Besson was a massive creep a couple years back was such a weird experience. also finding out the ymade a horror version of Arthur and the Invisibles
There is another interesting scene in ghost ship that stick with me, that's when the ship finally sank and you can see all the ghost swimming up and finally free. In Netflix's Death note, I love how Ryuk warned Light about writing his name on the book and the most letter one was able to put was two.
this was such a good video i had to subscribe! i love the way you talk about things
Fantastic intro!! Loved all the editing choices!
When I was a kid I loved those bigfoot shows on the discovery channel and I remember one night my family and I were watching some sort of Bigfoot documentary on the tv and the ending freaked me out so bad. I never remembered the name of it and I kind of thought I had imagined it, but it was definitely willow creek. As a child I didn’t understand found footage horror so I thought it was real lol
I would volunteer, also from the Death Note movie, the introduction of Ryuk. I read the whole manga and didn't mind the movie doing its own thing, but I also don't remember much about it. My overall memory is positive though just based on the design, voice, and humor of Ryuk. "No shark attacks on the toilet, funny as that would be."
The scene in that recent Tarzan movie that was so forgettable, where he shows a child his long hands. There really is a woman whose growth plates fused longer because she spent so much time climbing trees with monkeys as a child in Africa. Great detail to include.
The "classical music" scene in one of those the new Star Trek movies. Into Darkness, I think. Wouldn't call them bad but they just don't grip me like the older shows. Not even a fan of the Beasty Boys but the line delivery of "Is that classical music?" made that scene both incredibly funny and enjoyably action-packed.
I love how the creator's good scene is only here because of radiohead's everything in it's right place, which is completely justified.
You scared me with that hellboy 2 mention in the spoiler section
The quality and upload speed of these videos is so top tier. This channel's gonna blow up soon, I hope you have a looooong list of ideas and aren't burning through them too fast because I think you have some serious staying power.
dead man's bones shoutout! the project was initially intended as a stage play, but it really is such a fantastic album. a great listen for spooky season.
I need to find a way to watch Ghost Ship. All I can remember of it is being traumatized by that cable scene as a kid when i caught it on the Sci-Fi channel
There’s this movie I personally love, but I’ve heard a lot of people call it bad and it didn’t get particularly good ratings; Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. There’s this one scene in the movie where Mr. Magorium (in this kids movie) talks about death. It’s quite an interesting scene and it does a good job of talking about the concept to a young audience. If you search the movie’s title plus shoes you’ll find it.
thats the one where they had to gut the whole film because Heath Ledger died, it's an absolute clusterfuck. Terry Gilliam wildness, replacing the lead with 3 other actors for large sections.
However, in keeping with the theme of Pancakes' video, Tom Waits' performance as THE DEVIL iin that movie is fantastic. In fact didn't pancake do a video on depictions of satan? I'm not sure that one made the cut.
Congrats on the growth man great videos and an incredibly pivot in content. Really glad your devil vids blew up so you got recommended
Such a good vid, please do a part 2
"pitch black comedy" is perfect for World's Greatest Dad
i must say i take great umbrage with you calling hellboy 2 a "bad movie". i simply wont have it
I got so hyped at the mention of 'Ghost Ship', because it is a truly terrible movie with so many twists there is barely a coherent plot, but I adore watching it under the lens of 'supernatural horror comedy', and still think that the opening sequence is peak cinema
id definitely like to add event horizon to this list, theres a bite of something in that movie when it starts to get under your skin
1000%!!!
Best movie to watch in the Dark~
Lone Ranger deserves a lot more credit than it is given.
First off the Johnny Depp issue honestly isn’t that big of a deal, especially since he was easily the best character in the movie.
Secondly, I don’t think it’s too long or boring. I seriously don’t get why people hate on movies because they’re “too long”. It isn’t the movies fault, it’s your for not being able to sit down for 2 and a half hours.
Lastly, I do very much enjoy the action sequences. Some of the best by Verbanski imo, and it just looks beautiful.
The movie sucks cause the Lone Ranger is lame person the whole movie, the movie is just a western Pirates of the Carribean not a Lone Ranger movie, and Johnny Depp does red face lol
@@petermj1098 I personally think that’s fun though. You can disagree, doesn’t mean some can’t enjoy it.
Also, saying a movie is bad because an actor plays a Native American is silly. Remember Tropic Thunder? Don’t see anyone getting mad at RDJ for doing blackface 😂
When people say a movie's too long they mean that they got bored towards the end, which is definitely the movie's fault when it's a broad criticism.
@@DilPickle-jv4dh Yeah, because RDJ was a white actor playing a white character. Johnny Depp was a white actor playing a Native American character. That's an issue.
I think it's kinda crazy that Verbinski went from a beautiful, deep, meaningful masterpeice like Rango to... well... The Lone Ranger.
Great video and the intro was amazing!
Ohh wow, good timing. This video popped up in my recommended just a day after I watched Ghost Ship for the first time. I don't know if I've just seen too much shit but I don't think I would call it "bad" haha
I agree about the opening sequence though. Really caught me off guard.
Loved the video and subscribed :)
A lot of these come down to: someone had an awesome idea for a single scene/sequence and unsuccessful tried to build a film around it. Often times it's an awesome opening, closing or chase sequences that's clearly had either a big chunk of the budget or filming schedule allocated to it.
Personally, I'd like to see best depictions of angels/demons. But I'll take whatever you give. Keep up the good work.
OH also I would like to beg for more fargo material I was so excited to see you mention it in your depictions of the devil video and would love to hear you talk more about it if it’s something you’d be interested in making!
Someone needs to mention that dance scene from Gamer it’s SO good
Willow creek scared me so much as a kid because I saw it on the discovery channel and thought it was real
One moment i think doesn't get talked about enough was lex luthors quote from batman v Superman: "If god is all good he can not be all powerful and if he is all powerful he can not be all good"
18:06 Dawg you are pushing UA-cam’s boundaries 😭🙏
amazing work!! you could do a “best moment in bad horror” easily
That’s nuts i think about that “the creator” needle drop all of the team
I always think about "But for me, it was Tuesday" in the 1994 Street Fighter Movie.
While I haven’t seen any of those other movies since they’re not really well liked, I do remember going to see the Lone Ranger in theaters as a kid and loving that ending sequence. I never really liked westerns and did not understand the problematic casting at the time, and I totally forgot everything else that happens in the move, but wow the train scene is cool. You’re right it’s sorta like a Mad Max sequence, and Rossini’s overture is the perfect piece. I didn’t even know it was a new rendition, I remember the original being just as exhilarating.
My favorite moment from a bad film... hmmmm.... YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!
Shakes The Clown deserved a mention in the Bobcat section.
Hellboy 2 recognition lez goo
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I absolutely love it! I'd love more videos on this topic.
I'm a movie optimist; if I had fun watching, then it wasn't a "bad" movie, even when it is very much a bad movie 😂. The example that comes to mind is Morbius, it is an objectively bad film and 90% of it is truly a slog. But damnit if the scenes of Matt Smith *throwing* every classically trained actor molecule of himself into his role, chomping the scenery like a kaiju, Going Through It for this bit role in the MCU...only for us to pan over to Leto's completely expressionless Botoxed face and blank delivery of ostensibly emotional dialogue 😂. It was like Smith was a tidal wave crashing against a concrete levy, I find it so fun.
My favorite great moment from a “bad” film is the Godzilla drop sequence from Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019).
After a long fight with Ghidorah, Godzilla gets picked up by Ghidorah and lifted into the clouds in the night sky. The clouds and lightning are a bright yellow because of the flaming city below them. This color is also used to represent Ghidorah’s victory since yellow is the primary color in his design.
When high up in the air, Ghidorah drops Godzilla and Godzilla burns as he falls through the atmosphere. It’s reminiscent of the dropping of the atom bomb which was the inspiration for Godzilla in the first place. This whole sequence is paired with a sweeping score to raise the devastation of the moment to its maximum.
I will never forget seeing that in a theater.

A link to the scene in question. Spoiler warning for those who haven’t seen it yet.
Wouldnt call that a bad movie tbh
@@akwala__ I personally really enjoyed it too! Despite the flaws in its narrative, the action sequences are incredible and clearly the highlight of the film. That being said, online reviews show that it had a 6/10 on IMDB, a 2.8 stars on Letterboxed, and a 42% on Rotton Tomato.
While I also enjoyed the film, it looks like the internet did not .😔
I wholeheartedly think Speed Racer belongs in this category
Do the dance, Pancake, do the dance
good video. 20 minutes went by like 2
I’m convinced mediocre films with great scenes were completely formed around those specific scenes. Then they get funded because they show the storyboard for those specific moments and the studios convinced that if that scene is that well thought out then the rest will be to
"Yeah, what can I say I like Radiohead" never clicked subscribe so fast
Even though the video is about "bad movies" I'm still glad to see Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom appreciation. In my opinion that movie is super overhated and is easily the best Jurassic Park sequel. As for the video topic an example I would go with is the iconic Optimus Prime 1v3 in the forest in Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen.
Third good video in a row? Yup! You’ve got yourself a new sub. :D Also, I agreed with everyone else: please don’t burn yourself out. 😅
gasped when I saw yet another pancake video on the timeline!!!! so excited to watch everything you put out at whatever speed you wanna make em 🙂↕️🙂↕️
Jurassic World 2 i watched ON CINEMAS and in that time makes laugh that "the plot" is quite literally:
"We are Greenpeace with dinos we should liberate an extinguish species they deserved to live even if destroys a lot of other species"
That and the clone plot are just **kisscheff* of bad decisions but then you have a lot of good scenes like the volcano or the guy wanted to cut the tooth of the evil dino or the mansion is almost like DinoCrisis the live action i dont know how to explained 😂
this is a dope video and idea man keep it up
