Adam Lyons i got to check if that was real... it was and there are a lot of selfie tutorials videos related to the search results. That scared me the most
7:08 It's even funnier because the snake abruptly changes its species when the camera zooms in. At first it's an Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, then in the close-up it's shapeshifted into a cottonmouth. Those don't even have rattles!
did not realize that snake venom contained such potent bio polymerization enzymes...i'll have to be more careful while taunting them in the woods in the future
This film used to air on local television as part of a "nature attacks trilogy" with Frogs, The Food Of The Gods and Empire Of The Ants. Despite its goofy premise, the film certainly has a creepy vibe and some really creative cinematography. Love the swamp mist in the trees. Thanks for giving Frogs a good spotlight episode.
I was hopping with joy when I saw this video in my notifications. This review was positively ribbeting. If you toad me that there was a killer frog movie I wouldn't believe you at first. Now that I know it exists it's something that doesn't bug me anymore. Makes me ponder why there are no more killer frog movies. Maybe the concept isn't just as croaked up to be.
Someone probably said it already, but the "frogs" in this movie seem be almost entirely cane toads. Also, while that is a rattlesnake at 7:09, that's a cottonmouth at 7:13. I'm pretty sure it has it's fangs, but vipers have folding fangs sheathed in the gum so you can't really see them unless they're actually going to bite.
The 70's were the golden age of killer animal/monster movies: Jaws, Piranha, Kingdom of the Spiders, Empire of the Ants, Squirm, Orca, Grizzly, Barracuda... Just about every species was used for a movie. There's even a movie about giant killer rabbits (Night of The Lepus).
Jeffrey Anderson you are right, I'm pretty sure 95% of the amphibians shown were actual cane toads and not bullfrogs. They did probably cause some damage to the local ecosystem by introducing that invasive species there...
Danewon Nice catch. I had to watch it again because I didn’t know what the hell you were talking about. We were talking about Cube,though. It’s a recurring joke.
This is BEST breakdown/review of this awesomely bad movie!!! I was having a relatively bad panic attack, crying and shaking and trying to distract myself. Within minutes I was shaking with laughter 🤣🤣🤣 I love this terrible movie and I really love your dissection of it. Thank you for pulling me out of my anxiety spiral.
I've always loved these natural horror films, where nature bites back, like Jaws, The Birds, Prophecy, Crawl, Arachnophobia, Jurassic Park, and other films, too.
Elliott was clean shaven for his recurring role as the villainous Avery Markham on Justified. I couldn't get use to seeing him without his 'stache. It was disconcerting.
I watched this film in the theater when it was first released. I waited the whole movie to see a hand hanging out of a frog's mouth. And what did I get? "Pounced to death". I was not amused.
I loved this movie as a kid, I always had the creeps for reptiles, frogs, etc. So this movie fascinated me. I remember one scene that marked me is the one with the old lady dropping or fainting and being covered up by frogs, snakes and the snakes biting her hand. Really creepy. As always superb job! Love you Cecil!!
Man I've seen this movie a ton. We rented it, along with renting a VCR, back in the 80s. It ended up a go-to schlocky movie for a family that didn't do horror.
I remember reading animal farm when I was young. My grandma showed me a bunch of nature gone wrong flicks like food of the gods, night of the lepus slugs, squirm, and frogs. Them movies blew my mind. Tv movies and movie movies all had that sophisticated yet practical look. Those animals were real. Definitely worth a look.
I actually have a lot of found memories of watching this for free on a computer in my high school library. IMDB used to have a lot of free older movies circa 2007 back before it evolved into the website it is now. This being the only one that wasn't black and white on the site back then. I must've seen it at least three times in totality back then. I guess it was one way to keep myself occupied well eating pizza and skipping class nothing like a youth well wasted! man I must've been was a stranger kid then I remembered...🤔
You're finally talking about Frogs?! I first saw Frogs on Netflix with my family and we thought it was hilarious. I saw it on DVD at a thrift store and had to get it.
ive been recovering from surgery & while i was i went through a marathon of all youre videos & that kept me entertained almost through, i have a lil while longer to deal with but i wanted to say thanks by mentioning 2 films that i think you might enjoy, 1st one is called caveman, its has ringo starr & a few others named actors, its good for a laugh & has not alot of "worded" dialog its still funny today its good fun, the 2nd is almost a an acid trip, its called the phantom toll booth, its suppose to be a kids film but after you see it you know someone was freaking high off their ass making this i think its from the 70s but i was born in the 80s & watched it as a kid up to now its a trip, anyways have fun, & thanks again for helping with recovery, peace
That path through the Wetlands, beyond Menethil Harbor, is a dangerous one: raptors, crocolisks, orcs, murlocs... but the frogs... **PTSD Intensifies**
nothing says overindulgent privilege like a drunken pillow fight on the front lawn of the estate the borders a swamp infested with killer frogs shaped like toads
Oh my God, I've just realized you've said Menethil harbor and through the wetlands.. watching this for the 10th time and playing wow since '04 and I just now got it.
Thanks for doing this video! Ive always loved this movie for a long time and scared the pamys off my cousins with it! Behold the power or Frogs, Snakes, Gators and Iguanas pushing off dangerous chemicals!
I seem to remember another frog horror movie (remember the same kind of menacing frogs footage) from the 80/90s. As i recall it was different kinds of creatures attacking but included frogs and spiders. It was kinda "Birds"-like, nature fights back kind of thing. Cant remember the name though.
I remember watching this film many years back (it is part of a boxset I got, which also has Lake Placid and Piranha. Make of that collection what you will) and being completely baffled at the entire thing. It was good fun though!
My sister and I watched this movie on TV about 30 years ago. The print shown on TV was so dark that we couldn't see a thing. I guess it got remastered or something because I watched it on COMET about 2 weeks ago and could actually see the movie. I think maybe it's better the other way.
"The frogs cut the phone lines." is a sentence that bears repeating. A lot.

@@EmptyWhiskey Menacing frogs are nothing to worry about. I've danced those cares away.

Trilaanus did you save them for another day?
Movie is called "Frogs", but there are only toads in the movie.
must be a species fluid movie
Okay good, I thought so
the toads were stand ins for the frogs - stunt doubles
To be fair, all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads.
Most movie goers don't know or care.
Selfie man cannot possibly be a thing.
Edit: for fuck’s sake
I was thinking the same thing. And I don't know.
And god help us if it is.
Good god why?

Even back then, hollywood was toad-washing roles meant for frogs
I was hoping someone would bring that up!
recreational toad licking contributed greatly to the conception and production of this film i'm sure of it
That comment wins the Interwebz!
In Australia this is a documentary 😜 I loved this movie
Nice work, this will be a ribbeting video.
I'll show myself out.
I applaud someone that kermits to the joke.
Why didn't Frogs spawn a sequel? Maybe they thought it didn't have the legs.
Yeah, hop it.
Please do. Thanks.
"There's gonna be bad jokes!" they toad me.
"Is this prequel to Battletoads?"
I chuckled.
Also, yes.
8:57 ouch! That snake bit her so hard, her hand turned into plastic!
did not realize that snake venom contained such potent bio polymerization enzymes...i'll have to be more careful while taunting them in the woods in the future
"...Only to be slowly attacked by a turtle."

Funny stuff!
If the actors had Australian accents this could be a documentary.
are you referring to the actual documentary called Cane Toads?
@@marshmallowarkleseizure3742 Exactly
10/10 I would watch.
Yeah, but you'd need to have ten more species of venomous snakes and saltie crocs instead of wussy alligators.
Good point.

oh Hi Mark
I keep playing that back because it made me laugh so hard.
In Australia, this film is called "Chazzwazzas".
👏👏👏
💫The more you know 💫
Even though I'm a Kiwi I gotta give you respect for that little deep cut right there. Well done, sir.
CRIKEY!
American-International Pictures means you know there's going to be a low budget and a certain amount of heart.
For a movie called Frogs, they literally don't do anything but hop around.
I guess "Frogs" sounded better than "Everything in The Swamp Hates You"
Someone probably said it already, but the "frogs" in this movie seem be almost entirely cane toads. Also, while that is a rattlesnake at 7:09, that's a cottonmouth at 7:13.

The killer rabbit was also in Monty python's holy grail.
Since. most of the shots of frogs are actually toads, why didn't they call it Toads?
They’re mostly bullfrogs they deal with in the film. They even mentioned it in dialogue.
@@madcapmakov2, those bullfrogs aren't very shiny and have a very toad like complexion. Maybe they're frogs in toad costumes?
or even hypnotoads? - boggles the mind
Jeffrey Anderson you are right, I'm pretty sure 95% of the amphibians shown were actual cane toads and not bullfrogs. They did probably cause some damage to the local ecosystem by introducing that invasive species there...
Lol yah I don’t believe they are bullfrogs...
Ah yes, one of those VHS covers I saw at the rental store when I was a kid and even then I thought there was no way it could work.
all of the "frogs"in the movie are Toads. the only frog was on the poster
And Kermit, and I think i saw a few hopping about but generally yep.
just move to Memphis TN "In Memphis, Tennessee; Frogs are not allowed to croak after 11pm"
guess the spring peepers in east tennessee never got that memo

It's Snoop Dogg not Cube
It never gets old.
@@danewon9540 you mean the Anaconda reference? That's Ice Cubes.

I like how they keep tossing the toads around to make the other toads launch around ;p
I'm SOOOO glad you reviewed this one. It's been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since it was released. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
The menacing, slowly approaching snapping turtle scene is one of the most unintentionally funny scenes in film history.

I thought it was a documentary about Frogs and how they grow.
After seeing it I can say I was 100 percent right.
First I watched the video on BEEEEES and now this one. I really want a Bees vs Frogs now
Saw this at the drive in when I was 9. Scared me for weeks. Not bad as Jaws did and I was older when Jaws came out.
Did they make the frogs gay!?!
You know he was absolutely right about that?
Whenever someone says snake,badger,or mushroom part of idiot subconscious screams that song in the band I’d my mind
You had me at "The snakes name is Clint" 0:56 lol!

I'm going to have to rewatch this. I saw it on television when I was six and I clearly remember it as well as I thought I did.

Three words that I never thought would go together: menacing and frog footage. :)
No! Hypno-Toad, I didn't mean it, no, please... Argh!
I watched this movie a ton of times as a kid but completely forgot that it existed til just now watching this, thanks for the nostalgia 😆
I like how most of the frogs in this movie are actually toads. Maybe they were toads (poorly) playing frogs? Sounds about right.
