Thanks for the shout-out! I always have a soft spot for this film. Hope you'll eventually give Ultimate Alien a go.
Aaaand here he is 😁
This remind me of the time you and dimondbolt did your funny alien Swarm review.
CAR SHOOOOOOOTS😃!

Let's admit it, Kevin's car was the hottest shit back in the day
Still is dope
When the car wasn't being destroyed on a near regular basis
That car got destroyed almost as much as Leomon. Or Team Rocket. Or the *CABBAGES*
Absolutely 💯

This thread is amazing 😂
With a demeaning and condescending attitude? Like a piece of property? No no wait, as a sex object! Yeah yeah it's gotta be that one...
@@Crispman_777 probably the best thing you could have said is "with respect"
If someone had told me that this was a Ben 10 movie made by the CW I would definitely believe them.
They totally should, have it be faithful to the source material somewhat where it still feels like it’s Ben 10 but edge it up like riverdale
@@thecrazydisneyparksfanatic921 I can’t tell if you genuinely think riverdale is good. Anything being like riverdale would be an absolute disaster
Yeah lol.
@@Boundless-Boredom I just meant like to do a show on Ben 10 being older and do it with the old fans in mind but have it be darker, not necessarily dark dark, maybe not like gruesome dark but just darker with a fair amount of the usual Ben 10 comedy give or take
But to still keep the OG fans into it without any of them storming off saying it’s too much unlike Ben 10
I like how Kevin's actor has almost the same voice as in the show. And also Kevin's car has more screen time than any of Ben's aliens.
I'm glad they had a 1980s hacking scene. A classic we need more of.
Now we need to give Kevin an epic hacker name.

“This is grandpa max, grandfather to Ben and Gwen. And this is max, he just fricked their grandma”
13:45 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And the thing is this movies actually part of the Canon because Nanomech appeared in Ultimate Alien and Omniverse but made his debut in this movie
Oh yeah I forgot about that
and this movie showed how ben got his car from UA
this likely takes place between season 2 and 3 of AF as you can see kevin and gwen change from season 2 to season 3 clothes so ben was 16 from AFseason 2
Also Elena comes back
The first one is too since Eon appeared in Ultimate Alien after he was defeated by his universes Ben.
I remember thinking that this was going to be even better than the first, since it used Alien Force's style, and... It kinda was. The budget helped, but it still had the first movie's... Camp, but this in some CW teen drama. What I really remember is that the things that carried over from the movie were later made lesser than, like Elena became a Nano Swarm queen, Nanomech, appeared for a moment, but Gwen's outfit at the end of the movie became her season 3 outfit, and Ben's car became a mainstay. Oh yeah, there was a whole contest to win Kevin's car... And I wish I had it...
I remember that contest and getting so hyped when I saw the car. I also bought the DVD and we watched it in my fifth grade class only after showing it to everyone I knew did I realize it was a bad movie
Elena made a small cameo in Omniverse after being turned back to normal off-screen and Nanomech had a few apperances in UA and Omniverse. He even defeated a few Incurseans AND of all the enemies, Mad Ben's Way Big.
I entered that lol
And did you know the person who actually won the car did'nt even watched the show? PS they did'nt even knew how to drive the car
@@talhajaved4526 Ouch. That makes it even worse...
"Elaina was Ben's first crush."
Did... Did they forget about Kai Greene?
Retcons!
Also them forcing him and Kai together post Alien Force because of their time traveling son still gets me salty
After all that development between him and Julie, seemingly for nothing lol
@@zachanikwano they destroyed Ben's relationship with Julie AND Esther for the girl that just wanted to date a furry and didn't like Ben
What about Patty Birkenfeld from third grade?
@@emperortgp2424 ah those very thorough plumber files
@@MarshallLeeA
IIRC, the Julie thing was just writers grave dancing. It was an on-purpose character assassination, just because other writers didn't like the character.
And this is coming from someone who like Kai with Ben & hates Julie most of the time.
That bit with Benand Elena stopping their respective motorcycles parallel to each other but diagonal to the street actually seems kinda cool.
I feel like that kind of stunt has been done in a number of other movies but I’m drawing a blank as to where I saw it
"Is it time?"
"Time for you to give us your money!"
Never noticed how hilarious this was
Thanks Billiam
In France this movie came out in theaters and even had preview showing. And 10 years old me got the chance to see the preview showing as a kid the experience was quite good
I find it so odd that this specifically is canon. Neither are particularly good films but I find the first one wayyy more enjoyable. It's cheesy and dated but at least it has Robert Picardo. It's even weirder that Eon from the first film specifically exists in the universe but not the main universe. Yet this film does.
The event in the movie happens but not the same way in the main universe, like the first movie, the event happens but in a different way
I’m pretty sure the other movie is canon. The eon that shows up in the show, is specifically mentioned to be from a alternate universe
Actually both are canon. Alien Swarm is in the main universe however Eon from Race Against Time ended up in the main universe at the end of that movie and became a villain in Ultimate Alien.
Technically the first is kinda canon. Since it´s the introduction of Eon as a villain.
Eon IS canon, oddly enough he appears in ultimate alien trying to reach ben's timeline using the hands of doom to take his powers and stuff
I remember when this movie first came out and I entered the online contest to win Kevin's live action car from the movie (hopefully, it would've been the car prior to it getting destroyed); I didn't win...still enjoyed the movie though for what it was.
Fun fact, someone actually won the car but he wasn't old enough to drive it
@@arthuredington6171 WTF?!?!?! HAHA dang I never knew who won but thanks for that fact lol
@@OurKindofEntertainment apparently the kid didnt even watch the show either
What a waste
I've been thinking about how I lost that contest for years
I won the car and I sold it for 50 copies of The Room.
"She's trouble in a jug!"
If I dont hear that in every new Billiam video, OOOOH! Theres gonna be trouble in a jug for SURE!
Fun fact: I remember catching this on CN during its debut airing. They had this big ad campaign involving Kevin’s car where they were going to show codes or something during the airing and you could enter to try and WIN the car itself. Obviously I didn’t win but I remember me and my mom trying really hard because I loved Ben 10 and she really wanted the ride - Haha!
Did anybody actually win that car
I wonder who won the car and if it still exists today
@@rhyssuy8361 Yeah! A quick search shows some teen at the time won it.
@@rattyeely a boy named Kace Gandee won it apparently! Not sure on the current state of it but I imagine it’s out there still, thought the car is over 10 years old now
Oh yeah I completely forget about that😅Sorry you didn't win the car(─.─||）
This honestly makes me wonder what an Omniverse film would've been like .
It's still might happen
Bonkers
Werid it would look werid
The villain is straight up the guy from big hero 6
Blocks becomes a Lago product placement.
Remember when Cartoon Network had a bunch of live action stuff? Like who's dumb idea was it to have live action stuff on a "Cartoon Network"?
that was the era where I tapped out of watching tv all together. After the Ed Edd n Eddy movie and the live action nonsense aired nothing really held my interest. Even now there isn’t much to watch on tv
As opposed to what? Live action network? XD
The writers strike happened. Every network dealt with it the same way. Gut the budgets from creative teams and writing so that those unions don’t have any power, and make a bunch of low budget live action shows.
I guess this what their answer to the Teen Sitcoms of Disney and Nick.
This trend is still happening, especially regarding cartoons and anime.
I know why the studios are doing it, but why anyone would want to watch real actors interacting with CG shlock, instead of watching beautiful animation that is stylistically consistent, still eludes me.
That Vilgax, he's trouble in a jug.
Tell me about it
I used to watch this movie almost every day in middle school.
what? why? how?
@@alfredopampliega1763 I dunno. It just became one of my hyperfixations for a while. It only lasted for about a month.
Me too in on DVD
Wait, your school allowed you to watch movies in class.
@@LPSRosyYT No, I just watched it a lot on DVD as a middle schooler. Although we did have a few movies that we kept in my homeroom storage closet to watch on free days. Night at the Museum was one of the regulars to the point where I got sick of it.
After you point it out, yeah this does look and feel like a CW Teen Drama version of Ben 10. Except there Ben wouldn't turn into aliens, he would just have schizophrenia and a split personality disorder and only think he was turning into aliens as he beat people up and set things on fire.
Alien Swarm introduced me to there for tomorrow and also Kevin levin was a major badass and cool guy.
A little faster
I know of them because of road to nowhere from a nerf commercial. Nothing more reminded me a bit of them but less whiny in their vocals.
The live action Ben 10 films are like the movie equivalent of an acid trip

**chip eating intensifies**
where was vilgax
This version of Max has some mad Boomer energy.
he's a karen
Those Scooby Doo monsters are nothing but trouble in a jug.
where is vilgax
Actually both are canon. Alien Swarm is in the main universe however Eon from Race Against Time ended up in the main universe at the end of that movie and became a villain in Ultimate Alien.
And then it's revealed in an actual episode of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien that Elena was the Queen the whole time
Just realized Grandpa Max's actor in this is the coach in One Tree Hill and idk why but that just made me laugh really hard
He was also Dale on The Ranch
This movie is what happens when you download google chrome. Or at least, according to Kuro it is.
Just wanna say when max says "lab boys" I instantly have flash fowards to omniverse and it makes perfect sense. Blukic and Driba would be vague enouph to cause this whole event.
"It's alien tech!"
"Probably."
"Maybe."
"Assuredly."
"But also probably not."
I'm glad someone is reviewing the Ben 10 series and movies and I'm glad it's you. This was a big part of my childhood and you're hilarious and charming.
Who else can't forget that sick theme song: just a little faster.
Still in the playlist
Yes I know I must’ve played it ten times at home
Alien Force was the best in the series, it was just so good. The first two seasons are right up there with the classic series.
i agree!
And the third one was also good. It had faults, but we got Rath, Lodestar and Diamondhead returned alongside Vilgax.
Alien Force was okay but all the retcons and inconsistencies with the Original series did hamper my enjoyment quite a bit.
@@Andrew-Bastin ah yes, the “Orininal” series
@@d_xbombk fixed
I remember the cast of the movie(Ben, Gwen, And Kevin) Went up against the dudes from "Dude what would Happen" in the show "Destroy build destroy". And the dudes from Dude what would happen later went up against the cast from "Scooby-Doo Curse of the lake monster".
If Billiam doesn't use "trouble in a jug" in the next 3 out of 5 videos, I will have serious trust issues.
Aw man, not even a snippet of "A Little Faster"? There For Tomorrow's music
was young teen me's fave thing about the movie, aside from Kevin's car looking better than ever
That song still sounds awesome. I even saved it on youtube around the time I made my account
@@spazmaticaa7989 Not just the song, but the whole album too
Great choice by the way, absolute banger
I will always associate this movie with seeing the advertisements saying “enter for a chance to win Kevin’s Car!” And always wondering where the car ended up.
To this day I will search for that car
There's a video about it someone made
Follow-up: It was Xanderflicks
“Your trouble in a jug” is now my favourite movie quote
Plot Twist: Evil clone/lost Twin/Future Self
That's Race Against Time.
Yeah, CN started to go in a direction that was just trouble in a jug after this.
Kinda disappointed you didn't talk about the contest about winning kevins car that helped hype the whole movie to get more people to tune in
Words can't describe how I excited I get to see a new Billiam episode. They're always just do wholesome and fun.
He critics without harping, and let's himself just have fun with the property for what it is, vs what it isn't.
Keep up the amazing work my guy
i distinctly remember a few shots from this, like the humongosaur fight and the dad with the tubes attached, but not much of the actual movie. personally i really liked that nanomech became a part of the alien cast in the animated show, it made this film feel like it mattered more than it would have otherwise. like, i had been trained to think that live-action adaptations would be ignored by the shows, but this felt like a legitimate part of the canon, which honestly elevates the experience to me.
I hope Billiam does Ultimate Alien, Heroes united, and Omniverse in his next few videos
He will. Hes also doing the reboot
Cartoon Network should have just stuck to... you know,... cartoons 🤷♀️
That being said, CW Ben 10 isn't a bad idea. It could feature Ben 10000 as an Old Man Logan style character except that he's 30. Which is old by kid standards.
They never explored Ben in his very late teens like 18-19 or early 20 I would of want that. It be perfect for cw due to it being a superpower related stuff as well.
I am kind of shocked he didn't mention anything about the fact they gave away Kevin's car in the premier of the movie.
This movie was a guilty pleasure for me when I was younger I loved it I was hoping that they would just bring Ben 10 in the DC universe
I always wished Ben 10 would just become it's own comic universe with its own pantheon consisting of other unaffiliated teen cartoon superheroes from the same time period.
Dial H for hero is pretty similar

You Should Make A Video About Slugterra There Under Ground And Shot Little Monsters Out Of Guns I Think It Would Make A Good Video.
That show was Pokémon but it was all slugs being shot out of “guns” . Man I just got the pun years after never thinking about it

I wonder if it's actually any good...
You Should Learn To Act Like A Human
So I wonder who won Kevin's car when this aired
It was a 14 year old boy. No joke, the kids wasn't even old enough to drive the car when he won it. Who cares though, when you can drive Kevin's car in a year or so?
@@10superpower that's pretty cool. I remember calling atleast 30 times to try and win that bitchin car
@@10superpower
He didn't even like Ben 10 either.
@@ngultrum1 that makes me mad
Honestly big chill and humungasaur are the best parts of the moive
" much larger budget then the last"
we got 4 alien transformation and a new one if you count eon,
in the squeal we got big chill, humangoasur, and nanotach for 25 seconds at best fighting the queen for ten of those seconds in a dark room were you could not see any thing.
Just saying I think the budget went in to the motorcycle montages and not the actual movie.
Could be that part of the tradeoff was only a few good alien models to play around with.
@@SirBlackReeds you also have to factor in location filming
I think the actors they got to play both younger and older Ben were perfect fits for the character.
I remember when this came out and they had some call lottery to win Kevin's car
I always thought that Kevin's car has a more dark green color than that cheap plastic crap it turned out to be.
I'm actually surprised that no one has customized their own car to look like it. I've seen pictures of the mystery machine and the Ghostbusters car online.
@@hope-cat4894 search r/Ben 10 Dammit Kevin on Google or DuckDuckGo. I managed to find the post again, but not on Reddit.
@@hope-cat4894 Copyrights, CN is wanting money
You probably thought that because Alien Force takes place 95% at night.
@Ambrose Contreras Oh, that's awesome!
Billiam: Kevin Eleven? More like Ele-*lame*-n
I remember going out of my way to buy this on DVD and I was so disappointed when there were only 3 monsters in total
Love the manic energy you’re bringing to this, especially with the green screen!
I own this on dvd lol I loved Ben 10 as a kid and watched both movies and had so many Wii games also, legit I replayed them this year for nostalgia
Alien Swarm seemed pretty good when I was a kid.
I completely forgot they even made this but i'm pretty sure i watched this film.
can you talk about The Suite Life Of Zach and Cody: The Movie and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie
I’m assuming that’s going to happen right after he gets to talk about Power Rangers
How about the crossover specials with those two and Hannah Montana?
@@Eudaimonia7564 I feel like the two movies would be a better fit for the channel since they took a really strange and edgier approach as opposed to those specials that are overall pretty normal and formulaic in comparison
_Characters that can beat alien X:_
- Grandpa Max with a glock
Does anyone else remember that they had a giveaway for Kevin's car during the premiere of the movie???
The theme is still stuck in my head
*EDIT* Why do I feel like this is gonna be an HBO series soon?
Oddly enough this ones canon to the show other one was retconned to be not
race aanist time is still canon, its parts of the movie's events were mentioned by paradox in the ep Ben 10,000 returns in Ben 10 UA
This is Canon tho, just not the cgi movie
@@Dave102693 nah mate. Destroy all Aliens is still canon. Race Against Time happened in another timeline as of UA
Wait they retconned it?
@@chidaluokoro9104 it’s explained in Ultimate Alien
I think this is only darker and grittier just because the CG looks "better" in the dark :p
As an amateur VFX artist, that is indeed true especially a 1 point lighting situation
I love how you cursed during the Scooby-Doo part and blocked Scooby’s mouth.
the super sonic racing music while they were driving on the bikes had me rolling :’)
Nanomech is basically the Ben 10 version of The Wasp from Marvel
Or The Atom from DC
I remember when I was younger I legit struggled to stay awake to watch this at my grandmas. Weird to think I found it hard to stay up till 7 / 8 at night…..now I can be up till 10 the next morning and be fine lmao.
It's just a matter of time :).
I remember I used to like race agianst time. Looking back at it, I guess I could say I see why I like it, or why I liked to hear that opening
All I remember about this movie was it being one of the final signs of disrespect towards Ed Edd n Eddy. For those that don't know Ed Edd n Eddy aired its series finale movie, Big Picture Show, the week before Alien Swarm aired instead of treating their longest running series (the eds) with respect, they had a big part of the promotion being how you could catch a sneak peek of Alien Swarm right after. Ugh.
Ed edd n eddy always sucked
Not gonna talk about how that movie event included a giveaway with a neat watch and a whole ass car!?
The $41M alien made me choke. God level editing, Mr. Billiam.
I sure hope Warner Bros. Pictures,Village Roadshow Pictures,De Line Pictures,Berlanti Productions and Thunder Road Pictures would do a live-action movie adaptation of Ben 10 that sets in the Post-Omniverse timeline and add in the style of the live-action Transformers Movies and the live-action DC Superhero Shows.
Then the Director will cry for his version of the Movie , hash tags will appear n we get the full movie after 5 years .
9:17 "You're trouble in a jug" is my new catchphrase
the actor is the only thing that saved Kevin with that horrendous dialogue
I didn't watch this movie, but I did watch the Destroy Build Destroy episode that the actors all made appearances on. They wrecked a VW Bug painted like Kevin's car and plugged the hell out of the movie before every single commercial break.
I have really vague memories of this movie from when I was a kid, but I just know I hated it so much. I don't remember Gwen or Kevin in this movie and I just vaguely remember Ben's actor being there. Had no memory of the aliens or really what the plot was about.
This movie introduced me to my favorite childhood band - There for Tomorrow 🤘🏻
Honestly I thought this was a cool sequel to the live action movie
Billiam’s editing skills have soared in quality over the last year or two, keep it up man
Since the Ink Tank's interview with Ryan Kelley was mentioned
#GiveRyanTheDamnJacket
Billiam, you're trouble in a jug. I love your videos. I also thought it was weird how Grandpa Max was portrayed in this movie, mostly because he wasn't Lee Majors anymore. Also, Humungasaur didn't talk, which was weird. He felt like a feral animal or something.
I remember they were gonna give away Kevin’s car as a give away.
I found one of his videos this morning and he’s just all I’ve watched today
All the movies, be it Secret of Omnitrix, Race against time, Destroy all aliens, Alien Swarm always felt disconnected from the main show. They always introduced new characters, villans and aliens instead of picking up from the show story.
Secret of the Omnitrix isn't disconnected, if you look at the production order of the episodes on Wikipedia the Season 4 episodes starts at 404 and ends at 413, meaning that Secret of the Omnitrix was three episodes put together into a movie. As for Destroy All Aliens, I have no clue as to when that might take place.
While RAT was retconned to being a different timeline, Alien Swarm is possibly between Seasons 2 and 3 of Alien Force but Ben's car not showing up until Ultimate Alien fudges the continuity on that one.
I'm really liking how the editing and comedy of these videos has evolved
You should talk about invincible
Why? Everyone else has.
@@pepperedash4424 idk I think it would be good video
@@jaydencostello1887 There isn't much he could say about the show that hasn't already been said.
8:10 The best editing I've ever seen!
When the movies are called "Ben 10", but you can never get half of the 10 aliens. I get budget is a thing, but the literal appeal of Ben 10 is the different aliens he can transform into. Otherwise, you're just watching angsty teens arguing when literally more exciting things can happen. A live action Ben 10 movie will use like 3-4 aliens, very sparingly, throughout the film. Then you'd get an animated movie that uses like a dozen, and sometimes back to back. I love live action movies, but if you can't do it right then don't do it.
Damn Billiam, this video was really well written and edited. I enjoyed it immensely. Good work.
I have to disagree on the kevin thing. I can literally see the cartoon kevin saying almost all of those lines.
Yeah, but cartoon Kevin would have said them in a lovably goofy way, this one...I don't know, he just feels a little too stiff and serious.
I think it's more of the line delivery of Kevin in the movie that makes it kind of lame.
YESSS!!!! I was waiting so long for this video. Thank you billiam! 🙌🏾🔥
Are we not gonna talk about how Max was just casually STRAPPED with a decked out 1911?
A Little Faster is still on my playlist to this day
I usually don’t comment, but this one just had so many funny quirky cuts, like some how I needed you shaking your head in such a convincing way about American cheese product.
