Sure i miss Siskel and Ebert, but i REALLY miss having so many movies come out each year.
All we get now is a dozen or two marvel comic book reboots.
This tape is immaculate, plus it has commercials and backfeed. This is an incredible find!
I've seen Smokey Bandit 3 on TV and confirm that the movie was a stinking pile of crap.
The second one was not as bad but it was also awful. Only that first one was good.
Agreed. I started watching it on Pay-TV, couldn't get through 20 minutes of it.
the original plan was to have jackie gleason playing the part of the bandit, the film was originally going to be called smokey and the bandit 3, smokey IS the bandit but that idea didnt do well in tests creenings and they got the snowman involved. If you watch the film in certain parts you can see jackie gleason dressed up as the bandit during some of the stunt scenes.
@@richardupton3323 That's hilarious. They should've had Gleason dressed in Han Solo's clothes at some point just to really confuse the hell out of everyone.
It seems to me like you can change a scene or an ending if it doesn't test well, but if the premise of the movie doesn't work it should be scrapped as unsalvageable (edit: or stay true to your artistic vision and release as-is; I men if it's going to be a stinker either way ...). Well, let's see if we can bullshit something here so we can push this into theaters and get some kind of return on investment is so cynical.
That wuz only because they edited it for TV....😆
I really miss the old Siskel & Ebert shows,RIP Gene Siskel(1946-1999)and since Ebert's death ,the same for the old film criticism to
Me too.
I pretty much always use soft scrub. Its better than the heavy duty cleaners for actually getting gunk off my tub or sink.
And the subject today is going to be sequels. The subject today is going to be sequels.
😂 Tony was like 30 trying to make it on Broadway
Gene also had "Worst Film of 1983" citations for "The Man Who Wasn't There" (a non-sequel 3D film), "Nate & Hayes" (a New Zealand swashbuckler riding on the Indiana Jones coattails, which was originally titled "Savage Islands"), "D.C. Cab" and "Scarface" (the Brian De Palma version that, a few weeks earlier, had harbored one of his most tumultuous disagreements with Roger). (SOURCE: Chicago Tribune, December 25, 1983)
Thank God there's someone else out there who didn't like Scarface. Al Pacino is a cartoon in that movie.
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Dang!
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Scarface was ripped apart by many critics when it was first released.
@littlekingtrashmouth9219 I AGREE ABSOLUTELY!
SCARFACE was a terrible film. The only decent bits were featuring Michelle Pfeiffer.
Aside from her, the film STUNK. IT
@krm215cl the Production value of Scarface is Horrible and Embarrassing. But the Screenplay with the memorable One line Pharses, Score and Iconic Over the Top characters not only save it but have turned it into a piece of cinema Nostalgia. So it is a Good film in a Cringeworthy way !
Roger's laughter is hilarious lol.
I agree 😂!
Glad to see that Tony Roberts rebounded nicely after the disastrous Amity III with his highly popular motivational cassettes, videos, and seminars.
Ha!
I got up for a minute and thought the ghost movie was still Jaws. I'm like what are they doing? Lmbo
Alternate titles include Staying Awake and Barely Alive!
Ha!
Siskel was about to cry talking about Saturday Night Fever sequel haha
This episode is hilarious 🤣!
For 1983's worst sequels, this list could include Superman 3 and Friday the 13th 3-D. The year had some good films, but it favored mediocrity, with disappointments such as Twilight Zone: The Movie, Yor, James Bond's Never Say Never Again, and Tom Cruise in Losin' It. On the other hand, it had good films such as Wargames, Blue Thunder, Scarface, Return of the Jedi, and The Right Stuff.
Fridat the 13th 3 was great
These guys are shitting on sequels in 83, just imagine if these guys were still alive today still being a movie critic with all the garbage sequels and even more god awful remakes
what do you think killed these guys?
Smokey and the Bandit was originally intended for Jackie Gleason to play both Smokey AND the Bandit (or Smokey impersonating the Bandit, whichever), which sounds a LOT better today than what we got. But everyone back then got confused, so they attempted to rework the film and made it even worse.
I have NO idea why they bothered making Sting II with a completely different cast. They didn't HAVE to use the same names as the original film - it could have been a sequel in name only focusing on a second sting against a completely different bad guy. It COULD have worked, but no one was even trying.
How can Gleason play both? makes no sense.
@@CaptainSpalding72 There were two schools of thought. Gleason would play the double role as part of the endless chase (therefore, very few trick shots). Or he would be impersonating the Bandit (which is what the trailer implies).
Either way, it would be a lot of work, but Gleason always thrived on that. He would have treated it as a challenge. I think that would have been fun to see.
@@kali3665 Mike Myers played both Austin Powers and arch enemy Dr. Evil
@@kingofkings69ner Yeah, but times changed. Pun intended.
That's right, Jay.
Siskel said, "chim-i-ney"
Dude on the water-skies was like, Oh.
Can we broadcast this to The People?! "Don't go see a sequel."
so we shouldnt have watched Empire Strikes Back???
Among Jaws 3-D's many, many, MANY problems...how on earth is that shark keeping up with that boat? Some sharks are pretty quick but I think most would have a very hard time time keeping up with a speedboat like that. Also, the shark is making noise somehow, something no shark does or even has the capability to do.
Ever since Seeing this in '83 I'm surprised Superman 3 isn't on this list. After the first 2 films that was the biggest let down and pretty much ended the francise.
Superman 3 may not be the best Superman film, but it's not the worst, nor the worst of 1983. If anything, the entire final act of that film redeems all the buffoonery that preceded it.
@@kadejito1 I saw it again recently and I still like it...especially after the halfway mark as you mention! Doesn't deserve all the hate it has gotten since '83. Save the harsh words for Sup 4!! Even that one still isn't one of the total stinkers on this show
Superman 3 is uneven but has some of the best gems of the series in it
Superman 3 is the Godfather compared to Jaws 3D.
Superman 3 is not that bad. It has genuine funny stuff in it and at least it doesn't take the final act as a complete joke like 2 did.
Jackie Gleason must of really needed money to be in Sting 2 and Smokey and the Bandit 3 😏
Don't forget "The Toy" right before those 2 films...I do hope it was a big check and the family put the money to good use
Yeah, Jackie Gleason's film career was highly uneven. For every one good movie he made, there were ten ones that weren't worth watching.
Like Sir Laurence Olivier says, "Money, Dear Boy!"
@@deputay That latter was great fun.
That guy in the Doritos commercial looks like the dorky guy from Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Yep. 10:17 the character Mark Ratner. I hope Mr. Hand didn't give him detention.
@@footofjuniper8212 😂
Yup.
Not like, it is.
Where did you get these tapes from?
"Sequels give more bad experiences to movie-goers, than anything else the movie industry produces." Siskel
"It is an insult..." Ebert
S and E were the gate keepers. Now, it is all sequels, and all garbage.
Paul Williams is a good songwriter though
True.
The first 'Saying Alive' clip was quite witty.
It could've been better. Maybe Tony visits the old neighborhood in a scene? Ebert hit the nail on the head with his review.
I've not seen it since 1983. I was 10 and found it laughably bad then. But that line made me wonder if I should revisit it!
23:15..is that not the Doctor from The Terminator wearing a hair piece?
LMAO, ur absolutely right, that's Earl Boen 😆. Had to feed his family somehow between Terminator movies. I guess this commercial is what he's talking about in the third sequel when he says, "...you find yourself imagining things. Impossible things. Crazy things. Insane things 😐. Take YEARS to get over it 👀."
This episode was probably late 1983, before the first Terminator movie.
The only good 3D movie that came out that year was Friday The 13th: 3: 3D
And that's because paramount actually spent a fortune developing a completely new system for filming and showing 3D films that required them to replace existing screens with their new ones that were designed specifically too work with their movie.
It still holds up today pretty well if you watch it in 3D on the bluray collection.
That was a blast...I saw it on the Friday 13th..opening night
Great film
@PRHILL9696
It definitely holds up better than anything else, even all the 3D cape flicks from 10-15 years ago.
Everything looks so fake in those because it's all digital after effects that manage too look cheap despite costing millions of dollars to create.
@@Hammerhead547 So true
@@PRHILL9696
There's just something exceedingly unnerving about an actor physically shoving a pitchfork, machete or burning hot fire poker at you seemingly through the screen.
The last 3D cape flick I saw caused me to get so motion sick from the way it was filmed and how the effects were placed that I had to leave before the screening ended and go lie down in my truck for half an hour before going home.
These are not only worst movies also sequels 👎👎😤😤
Seems like 1983 had a lot of part 3 movies
And a lot of bad 3-D garbage.
Gene's note about movie stars burning their audiences through sequels directly relates to one of the movies cited here (although ironically, not one of the sequels). Burt Reynolds often cited the commercial failure of "Stroker Ace" as being the end of his career as a leading man in movies because "audiences didn't want to see another Burt Reynolds car movie". He was never able to fully recover from it bombing both critically and financially.
And then he put it to the test in 1984 with Cannonball Run II. D'oh!! After burning out car movies, he moved on to being a movie cop (I would say that he burned that out, too, but the fuse never got lit): City Heat, Heat, Malone, Rent-a-Cop, Physical Evidence, Cop and 1/2, Hard Time, Hard Time: The Premonition, Pups, Hard Time: Hostage Hotel. Reynolds played a cop 10 times in 15 years and every role sucked, really sucked, as in they drew vacuum. When nobody would cast him as a cop anymore, he played a bit-part in a Stallone car movie, 2001's Driven, a racecar movie that nobody ever heard of.
Never saw the sting 2 as it’s never shown on television and not available anywhere else . Apparently it was a real stinker . Porkys 2 was a big hit on the other hand despite the two guys hatred of the film 🎥.
Yep the term sequel should never have been invented.
83’s worst is today’s ‘best’…
😭 true
Man i loved that Doritos commercial....
Rat from “Fast Times”
did he review The Creature Wasn't Nice (1983)
Probably too run of the mill bad. They liked big targets.
All the psedoephedrine you need...until it became illegal...lmbo (Also, talking about the commercials)
Whatever happened to Dristan?
Since 1966, the best selling medication brand is now owned by Foundation Consumer Brands LLC of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Joystick is my worst flim of 1983 in my opinion
21:43 Little Enis said "your badge", not "your bad"
@@markelijio6012 no. If you watch the movie, big and little Enis bet buford $250k against his badge. The whole conversation goes like this
"If you win sheriff, we enoses are gonna pony up $250,000." Big Enis
"If you lose, you fork over that silly symbol you've been shovin' in people's faces all these years, your badge!" Little Enis
"This badge means more to me than anything else in the world. And I'd like nothing more than anything else in the world to run you into the ground! You and that excuse for a son, who looks just like a flea's pecker! However, I'm going to retire. I'm goin' down to Florida to sit in the sun with my son." Buford
"Remember, we're talkin' about an awful lot of money here, so if you change your mind, you know where to reach us." Big Enis
"Thanks, but no thanks. And now ladies and gentlemen, at this very moment, I proclaim myself retired." Buford
Then the music intro plays showing Buford headed to florida and not enjoying retired life. And at the end of it, Buford says "Junior, retirement is cat shit, let's get the Enises" and then he takes the bet.
Your Badge.
Thanks, anyway. Happy Holidays and many
god bless to you and your family. Enjoy!
what happened to the buddy system and heart like a wheel
I must be the only one with messed up sound. Sounds like muted chipmunks. Maybe I need headphones???
It's the sound of the video tape running.
I can't believe Yellowbeard (1983, Orion) didn't make the cut, if not top the list. This is easily the worst feature film I ever paid to see, it rang down the curtain on Monty Python's Flying Circus as well as Cheech & Chong, and Marty Feldman didn't even survive the production.
It was not a sequel They said the focus was on sequel I never saw it but I'll take your word 😊
It's still kinda fun to watch.
Calm down lol.
Yellowbeard is the only movie I ever walked out of, lol.
"Yellowbeard" is excellent. 👍🏻👍🏼
17:30: but they both show up in ISHTAR soon enough.
Deal of the century, and Best Defense two forgettable Movies
Jawd 3D ,Amityville 3D and staying alive are still more original creative and thoughtful then the last three Star wars films🤨🤨😆😆😆😆
That's not saying much
💯
Foreigner album cover!!
Krull my ass!
Everything else, yes.
Krull has an awesome score, great sets, fascinating special and sound effects, an interesting villain and premise, likeable characters.....but I agree with them, theres something about this movie that REALLY sucks.
LOVE Krull!
WHAT!? no KRULL was awesome.
Jaws 3 is not perfect but a good movie and claustrophobic . Apparently the 3d did work in 83
We’re witnessing the downfall of Burt Reynold’s and John Travolta’s careers.
STAYIN ALIVE was a hit.
that wasn't even the worst. and wasn't Burt just a cameo in 3? I recall it was Mac Davis trying to beat a dead horse. Same with Caddyshack II--Jackie Mason is obnoxious (his schtick works only in small doses) and Chase is nothing more than a cameo there too, except he's funny in what little time he has onscreen!
@ricogomez4020 that doesn't automatically mean it was a good movie!
Big time
@@ricogomez4020 no it wasnt
"I paid $5.00".
2023 called and wants to know what you're complaining about.
Because 5 dollars then is worth exactly as much as 5 dollars now, right?
@@bunnybismuthno it’s not. 5 bucks got you a lot and also didn’t break the bank minimum wage in ‘83 (I’m in California) was 3.25 today it’s like 15.00 bucks and still wont get you into most theaters. That 5 bucks was mostly in large cities and night shows. Matinee’s were 1.50 for children (the price i paid until I was 19) and 2.50 for adults its about 13 today but adjusted for inflation it should be like 7.50
Why was that 40 year old selling doritos in a school?
Mexican Freddy Krueger exists
Bruce = motoring !
they forgot breathless and the man with two brains i feel
I am sorry, I always chuckle at the corny music and bumpers for this version of At The Movies ! 🤣
I saw Amityville 3D…boring with a few good scenes.
22:12
Annuity in action?
You could cut down some of the footage that is shown more than once
I thought Staying Alive was entertaining....
I absolutely love Staying Alive. It did well in the box office and the 5 Bee Gee songs are the best they did in the 80s. I didn't see this movie as a teen in the 80s but only recently on TV. The scene where Tony bumps into Stallone is the BEST cameo ever!. The movie is coming out on 4K early in 2023 by Kino Lorber.
lame cheesy dance movie.dumbed down to PG-13 for a larger audience none of edge of the original...the Stallone (who also directed) was absolutely arrogant and pointless
That movie was an insult
Lok\ok at feminist Ebert over here.
I HATED HATED HATED SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.
1
Ebert has a terrible sweater. I'll mark 1983 on my whiteboard for his greatest mass.
(like Oprah, he went up and down)
I don't care what they say, Porky's 2 was a MASTERPIECE, lol!!
You're bad
That's right. It's in the script.
Worst '80s commercials ever
