Daniel Bernhardt, despite his low beginnings with Future War, has become a stunt double for major Hollywood releases with his work being showcased in The Matrix Reloaded, John Wick, and most recently Logan. Grats to you, dinosaur puppet slayer!
And far more importantly, he was Siro in Mortal Kombat Conquest. Hey, he was one of the main characters (and the GREATEST Mortal Kombat character!), so it probably put food on the table for a good while.
there's this guy called tomska that did a short film about that, it's about a guy that becomes self aware inside a student film, i saw it a long time ago but i think it was ok
OnceAye I’m just surprised a tired, dated, unfunny comedy animation series can still be produced with success. His skits are well made but not funny to me.
From the White Fire Wikipedia article, "In 2015, the film was featured on an episode of Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst, together with Future War and The Jar. The hosts criticized what they saw as frequent incestuous overtones present in the film, referring to it as "poorly disguised fetish porn".[5]"
My favorite one is when he begins talking, the screen freeze frames, a giant buzzer goes off and a big red X appears over his face, and they smash cut to someone else talking. Edited by Mike Stoklasa.
I think the saddest thing is that when the back of the box for White Fire was being read, I thought "oh, it's a brother and sister thing. So maybe there won't be a romantic subplot thrown in. That would be pretty cool." ............*How wrong I was.*
Obscure Sighs was, according to lead actor Gary Wallace, literally just the director and the cinematographer making the soundtrack to the movie within the span of a single night after having finished the final cut.
One of the Marios, who get sliced in half with a saw at 52:00 was the leader of the labour union which represents and protects the rights and interests of Turkish character actors and extras who were consistently exploited by the movie industry during the 1970s and 80s. In the late 70s/early 80s approximately 150 movies were produced each year in Turkey, most of them using the same cast members. Although appearing in a dozen movies each year, the guys playing the henchmen or baddies in these type of movies were usually paid below the minimum wage, and worked without any health insurance. Some had lasting injuries due to the stunts they tried to perform. The union was established in 1978, and they are still trying to improve safety standards, and achieving higher pay and benefits such as health care and retirement for the actors and extras in Turkish movie/TV industry. (Sorry, if this comment is too boring for a RLM video, please let me rectify the situation with some random quotes: "It's gonna be great!", "That's right Jay!" and "Boyhood, it took 12 years to make!!")
+Trigger McTriggerson exactly what it feels like when listening to these at work. suddenly escape the office and im on the couch watching shit movies with rich, mike and jay
@@ferrohazard After googling that term and realizing I would have to google several other terms to understand what that result even means, I decided I don't have the patience, and will defer to your correction. :)
I kind of understand Future War because when I was a small child my cousin and I would replicate the kind of destruction you see in action films using things like cardboard boxes. The unfortunte thing is that Future War was made by adults.
Loved this bit, and ended up imagining it over the next few days after I first saw the episode. I think it would have to end with the main character having finally escaped the cliches and concepts, finding herself in a big empty room with a stack of papers lying on the floor. She flips through them in increasing confusion and disbelief until she screams in horror and throws herself out the window. The camera sloooooooooooooowly closes in on the pages she left on the floor, revealing that they are the script.
+J Wizard Phoenix He has it under control, he did not ascend to drinking level 9999 by sucking the spilled drink from Rich's shirt before it soaked in. That is drink commitment.
Just from the review and clips presented, I could toss a theory that The Jar is a metaphor for alcoholism... he takes up the booze after driving into and killing a pedestrian, it's wrapped in a paper bag, the thing inside it is evil, and then he swears off it a couple times, and tries to find Jesus
Also, almost all the movies they listed came out way after The Jar. Maybe give it some credit there too..? Although I guess those ideas were never really original (even in movies, just think of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) and it's the execution that matters...still, just from the clips they showed I was almost kinda intrigued by The Jar.
Seriously, does anyone know who "Obscure Sighs" is? Is it an "Alan Smithee" type situation where a musician didn't want his actual name attached to the movie?

It's funny to think that, several times a year, These guys are able to slap together a better "movie" with a more cohesive plot, better "acting", better editing, better set design and lighting, and far superior dialogue, most of which is improvised, than the majority of the films they watch on this show. And they call it "Best of the Worst".
I like how when Josh tries to be the smart one and bring up the obscure Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, he pulls rank by correcting the correct answer.
It's not obscure. The original short story is pretty commonly read in school. Even the Wikipedia page for it quotes it being described as "one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature."
*TOP RLM DANK MEMES* "Yay, I have friends for the next ______." "When are you guys gonna finish _______? You HACK FRAUDS!"

Please pick your favorite and pretend that's what I commented.
Dear goodness, Future War came out in 1997? I thought (from my many MST3K viewings) that it came out in the 80s, even though they obviously ripped off Jurassic Park in the car chase scene.
Future Wars and Time Chasers were the ones that MST3K did closest to the original release dates. The cast of Time Chasers had a party, when the episode came out, and ended up pretty salty about it... not Joe Don Baker levels of salty, though (he wanted to fight Joel).
Fun fact I learned from a Turkish friend of mine. The reason why there's so many mustache's in White Fire is because at the time, a mustache was a popular signal of one's political beliefs in Turkey. Marxists had their own style, nationalists another, etc.
There's an episode of Garth Marenghi where the main characters have multiple fights and car chases through mountains of cardboard boxes, to the point where there's a neat pyramid of them in a park, which are blatantly the same props from an earlier scene in a storage room, which they smash through with bikes. That HAD to have been inspired by Future Wars.
I used to cook for a living, and we had this girl customer at the restaurant I worked at that came in every Friday. She had a really big face and I randomly called her "Robert Zdarr" one day. Another cook knew exactly what I was referring to. We have been friends almost 20 years now.
51:07 is great friendship. I think Rich was genuinely more annoyed than usual by Mike's antics this episode, like from Mike spilling beer on him earlier. But Mike does this stupid bit and Rich seems to try to hold back but then he can't help but laugh.
Been watching you all for a long time. Recently got a dog, he runs to me crying whenever Rich laughs. Figured you'd find that as hilarious as I do. Thanks birthday boy. :)

+Sm0ker I found one at a Walmart for $10. I am probably going to catch some disease now. WALMART YOU FUCKERRRRRRRR
36:05
has anyone pointed out this noise
jesus christ Josh, that was impressive
I like how when Josh tries to be the smart one and bring up the obscure Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, he pulls rank by correcting the correct answer.
It's not obscure. The original short story is pretty commonly read in school. Even the Wikipedia page for it quotes it being described as "one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature."
The best episode, if only for drunk Mike.
No replies, r.i.p.
Whoa you’re here
Is there an episode where Mike isn't drunk?

You mean "AIDS Moby?"
It's really not that random. It's shockingly specific.
Dear goodness, Future War came out in 1997? I thought (from my many MST3K viewings) that it came out in the 80s, even though they obviously ripped off Jurassic Park in the car chase scene.
Future Wars and Time Chasers were the ones that MST3K did closest to the original release dates. The cast of Time Chasers had a party, when the episode came out, and ended up pretty salty about it... not Joe Don Baker levels of salty, though (he wanted to fight Joel).
It'd be a good co-main event, if Joel kicked Joe Don Baker's butt and Len Kabasinski beat up Uwe Boll.
KingThrillgore and don't forget Mitchell!
I think Joe Don Baker was pissed at Mike Nelson, not Joel.
After almost two decades, I'd sure hope so!
Fun fact I learned from a Turkish friend of mine. The reason why there's so many mustache's in White Fire is because at the time, a mustache was a popular signal of one's political beliefs in Turkey. Marxists had their own style, nationalists another, etc.
Are the mustached dudes Marxists, nationalists, or something else then?
@@Jordan-zk2wd Not sure. I learned this from a Turkish friend of mine but he didn't like have a diagram with him lol.
I thought that mustaches have simply been incredibly popular in Turkey for centuries.
There's an episode of Garth Marenghi where the main characters have multiple fights and car chases through mountains of cardboard boxes, to the point where there's a neat pyramid of them in a park, which are blatantly the same props from an earlier scene in a storage room, which they smash through with bikes. That HAD to have been inspired by Future Wars.
Mike was definitely drinking the monkeywater out of that flask. Thank god Rich only took a tiny sip
@@theomacer3094 yes, as evidenced by the fact that he did say earlier, "I Only Took A Tiny Sip."
Lol future war was the first ever mst3k I saw as a kid. Watched it with my family. This brought it all back to me. So many empty boxes lmao
Finally, we get to see Susan on an episode of Best of the Worst! I really like her, she seems nice.
+Roger Puzzitiello Poor Jay. He finally loses the baby fat, grows a fine beard, and people start calling him a woman. The world ain't fair sometimes.
+Cozy Hey, life for Susan probably isn't that bad. She just needs to look at the bright side of all of this.
+boobio1 watch "RLM Merch Update!"
someone probably said already but mike was right it's An Occurrence at Owl Creek, an Incident at Owl Creek is an American Dad episode.
You know you have a real drinking problem when you need to wear a vest to hide your drinking flask
I love it when mst3k and best of the worst cover the the same movies
I used to cook for a living, and we had this girl customer at the restaurant I worked at that came in every Friday. She had a really big face and I randomly called her "Robert Zdarr" one day. Another cook knew exactly what I was referring to. We have been friends almost 20 years now.
🤔😂😂😂
Gotta admit, I actually like the synth music from "The Jar" at the end of the video.
I don't understand why you guys don't have more subscribers. You guys should have a million plus subscribers. Illuminati confirmed.
Because people are too busy subscribing to shit like Leafy and Scarce.
+BartJ583 RLM is 100% PC? Are we forgetting the Rich Evans "Asian" prank phone call?
Mike would be on his 20th public apology if they had a golden play button
They've become too old and thus inflexible to change all that much at this point
This comment aged well.
Josh without a beard is like that drawing of elephants without trunks

16:29 keep your eye on the top of the screen to see the missing roof for the set wall!
Wonderful!
I've rewatched this episode like 5 times now. It's one of my all time favs :D
I keep coming back to this one, because I think it has one of the best tape destructions.
These videos always improve the fuck out of my day. Thank you gentlemen.
51:07 is great friendship. I think Rich was genuinely more annoyed than usual by Mike's antics this episode, like from Mike spilling beer on him earlier. But Mike does this stupid bit and Rich seems to try to hold back but then he can't help but laugh.
The moment Mike becomes happy and content with his life this chanel will plummet.
There's not enough alcohol in the world for that to happen
The sad theme music in this episode is so underrated, I wish it could be used more
Mike chugging the giant flask is how I feel working retail.
Future War is one of my favorite episodes of MST3K so I had to see how the RLM guys reacted to it. 😆 Didn’t disappoint!
Been watching you all for a long time. Recently got a dog, he runs to me crying whenever Rich laughs. Figured you'd find that as hilarious as I do. Thanks birthday boy. :)
Bring back the Love Butcher!
Istambul was once Comstamtomopal
Why they changed it I cant say, people just spelled it poorly that way
Created in the Mymantine empimre.
The Moops
I thought it changed its name after the Buddhists nuked it from orbit?
@@zetetick395 nuke ghandi has a serious hatred for moops
Yo, dood, I love They Might Be Giamts!
Also, no matter how bad White Fire is as a movie, that cover art is magnificent. Like seriously.

NEW RULE FOR MAKING VIDEOS: *LIST YOUR MUSIC. WE DON'T CARE WHERE YOU GOT IT. LIST IT SO WE CAN FIND IT.*
The Scientist Man music. We want it.
I remember hearing on a Pre-rec stream that because so many people have asked for it, Mike doesn't say where it's from--even though it's open source.
An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge was originally a short story written in 1890 by civil war veteran Ambrose Bierce -- in case anyone cares
This episode i realized i'm a bit in love with Rich. Seriously, the guy clearly loves Mike and they obviously have such a great bond, despite Mike constantly ripping the shit out of him. I think Rich may be a god
Nah man, he's just a really good mate. Get yourself a buddy like Mike has Rich
I think of him more like a guardian angel. The one that whispers the right thing to do.
It's just too bad Mike lestens to the RED one instead.
It's a lifelong battle and we all need a Rich Evens to be our guide, and friend :)
Cheers from Canada
I always have these on in the background and I watch them over and over again and this is the first time I ever actually saw the tape melt.
Why is my tub full of soup?
That flask is amazing
I always come to this video for “the Jar” and forget how crazy “white fire” is
I love when they watch movies that have been Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes. I love seeing that these movies are so good to make fun of that that is what they are specifically known as. Would love to see a M.S.T 3 K / BotW crossover, my dude
I love how Jay paid respect to the Obscure Sighs by playing their music every chance he could, especially using it as the outro music. as potentially bad a film may be, its nice seeing the highlights of them being preserved.
I kept hearing this noise and pausing the video to find it with no luck, did that 3 or 4 times before I realized it's Mike scooching his flask on the table
