The coolest thing about the Critters is that they roll around as fuzzy balls. Such a genius way to get around the monumental task of making the puppets move around.
James Cameron should change Titanic and create a special edition of the film with Critters on board. He could get some informations by George Lucas how to do this. It's gonna be great!
Someone needs to use a flamethrower on the giant critter balls to create a dramatic burning visualization. Possible even wire an explosive to one critter as it goes to join the others.
My favorite is in Critters 2, when the one Krite gets its scalp shot off, looks at its reflection in the toaster and says, "bitchin'!" Never fails to make me laugh, and I wish I owned that puppet.
@@HkFinn83 cuz if your there to see a band wearing their shirt is redundant. You dont need to further say you like the band, you already paid to see them
Isn't Scott Grimes that 1 time Simspons character who worked with Homer but ends up hating him because Homer's life is so great despite how incompetent he is? I think he ended up electrocuting himself at the end... "I can grab these without harm because IM HOMER SIMPSON and nothing bad ever happens to me" ..... or something like that. That dudes name was Scott Grimes.. right?
Mike should have compared the Critters to the Tribble. Everyone thought the Tribbles were cute little creatures but it's revealed in DS9 that they were deemed mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire because they were an ecological plague that eats all the food wherever they go and that the Klingons sent a fleet of ships to hunt them down and destroy their homeworld.
Star Trek and the spin-offs are actually really good, deep shows with real world themes. I wish I watched it more when I was younger. The episode of Next Generation with the black goo monster was life changing. I didn't know anything about Star Trek, but that goo monster guy scared the goo monster out of me.
Grandma being forced to plant the bomb in the Critters' lair at the end of Critters Bite Back sounds suspiciously like a set-up for Grandma In The Walls.
Kaylee Gregory just “alligator” i think, it kills some kid when its in their pool, and then the town gets together to hunt it in the sewers or something?
My Aunt worked in a video store in the 80s. She snuck us free films. She was meant to get Oliver and Company (the Disney movie), instead in the box was this film. Scared the hell out of me when I was about 8. My little sister (5) loved it.
To me, Critters was just a memorable Poster/VHS cover. I remember seeing that image a lot as a kid... most notably in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in 1990. It's the movie Raph goes to see, and he says, "Where do they come up with this stuff." Which is, of course a joke about the absurdity of TMNT itself. But ya. Glad to finally know what Critters was about.
The difference: that take on Freddy Got Fingered as a surrealist parody of Hollywood movies had been popular for a few years, but nobody thinks Critters has picked up a second critical wind.
We watched this at a sleepover in 1988 and when the guy got rolled over by the Critters ball 21:31, one kid came ill and called his mom to come to pick him up. We were ten years old.
tyler keen and is extremely hideous, significantly weaker, and doesn't have an indestructible body. i do get your point though, the creation of stitch probably was influenced by this.
I screamed, a primal bellow of a man watching his son fall in front of a moving car, a helpless roar loud enough to reach the deaf God he has come to hate, and hate so great that the earth beneath him scorches, the hate spreads out and floods the water, turns it red, into a vile acid, a bilious ichor of rage and evil, that swells beneath the ground and bursts it open like a grand sore upon creation out of his fury, his anger, his impossible hate when I saw Jay. I mean, I clapped.
He had a song that broke into Billboard's Adult Contemporary Top 20 chart. I just know because Steve's band performs the song in an episode of American Dad and I thought it was like a joke song they wrote.
I watched Critters when I was super young and always had flashbacks of certain scenes since then but never knew what movie it was, to the point where I thought I dreamt up this movie. Thanks for finally solving a lifelong mystery for me!
Scott grimes was fantastic as Malarkey on Band of Brothers. And critters was also a film I watched a zillion times as a kid. Love it. Was happy to see grimes show up in BoB.
I remember renting Aliens, and my father turned the box around to show Ellen in the power loader face to face with the alien queen....and asked, "are you sure you want to see this?"....I had nightmares about chestbursters for years, but that is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Thank you Blockbuster.
Scott Grimes was in Band of Brothers as Malarky, he's Steve on American Dad (Family Guy 2: Federal Boogaloo), he's was in an episode of Dexter, he was Will Scarlet in Russell Crowe's dumb Robin Hood movie, he had a 6 episode arc on Justified. He's had pretty steady work for a long time now.
I had the same reaction.. Dude has been working pretty steady for about 2 decades now.. he had a bit of a transition but one of the few actors who transitioned into adult jobs.. he's been great on The Orville..
Fuck google Of course it's not bad, I'd fucking LOVE!!! It, Critters 1 and 2 are awesome fun films, 3 is alright and 4 is.... Not fun, but 1 and 2 are great.
I'm only aware of this movie because it featured a semi-known Broadway actor as the bounty hunter/rock star. Terrence Mann. Played Javert in Les Miserables and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast in the Broadway runs of those two shows.
I got to see Critters at a Drive Inn the end of April as part of a two night horror event... and it held up well... also Scott Grimes was really good in Band of Brothers.
I just ordered the Critters DVD boxset haha. So thanks for this re:View - I love it! If it isnt on your radar then please consider a re:View for another underrated 80's sci-fi classic - "My Science Project". Its got a gizmo, a goat, endless quotable lines, a great soundtrack, Fisher Stevens and the ending is a surprise origin for Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider character.... haha.
@@somercet1 right, not to mention all the DC movies where they're just putting "the" on the front of movies like Batman and Suicide Squad. Will the Critters now be targetting kids on the autism spectrum because something in their blood cures Critter cancer or helps make mutant hybrid Critters or whatever the plot of that _The Predator_ movie was?
Holy shit, I never thought Mike would talk about the band Chiodos, they got me through some hard times man... Damn dude, I wish they'd talk a little more about what music they like. This was such a nice little episode, I can really feel how much they like these movies, I recall them mentioning Critters so much in the past. I definitely need to re-watch both of them soon.
I only saw pieces of the first one when I was younger. Really young. I got so many nightmares and didn't like spots where small critters could be hiding.
I saw them open for Linkin Park a few years ago, didn’t know who they were, so my 16 year old self didn’t give a shit. They sound pretty interesting now and I wish I’d given them a chance.
After rewatching this review i remembered how you brought the Don Opper and Barry Opper relationship up. It is quite interesting. Don pretty much started Barry's career as Barry started Don's career. Back in 82 Don wrote and starred in the movie Android. A movie George Lucas praised back in the day. When his opinion still meant something. Don got his brother Barry to produce the movie. It was his first producer credit. Barry became quite a successful producer. And when they did Critters he brought his brother back. I kinda like the dynamic.
If you kidnapped Hayao Miyazaki and put a gun to his head and threatened to kill him unless he made Critters, he would make Lilo and Stitch. Also, he would probably cry a lot.
Swiss_brodi it's actually a ""bootleg"" I bought from a horrible convention. It looks amazing though to the point where it doesn't even look like a bootleg
Two of the members from Chiodos formed a side project called Cinematic Sunrise and they released a single album that is the greatest thing ever and everyone needs to go listen to it right now.
Please I must have your version of Critters before I die. Start some crowdfunding. I have bonds that I was saving until retirement but I believe this would be a better cause than my happiness in my golden years.
Scott Grimes played one of the main roles on the TV series: ER for several years. At first his character was kind of a joke, but he grew on me, and became pretty emotionally deep by the end, i feel. Always thought he deserved more work than he got.
This film planted the seed of my love affair with horror films when at the age of 6 a family friend loaned it to my mother for us to watch and told her it was a kids movie full of cute little creatures. Ma walked in just as the cop gets dragged under the car and freaked out. If only she'd been a few minutes earlier, she could have saved my soul
God Dammit, I've had that Hungry Heifer song out of my head for about 10 years now! Now I have to force it out again. Time to listen to the Silver Shamrock jingle for hours on end.
I think rlm shot concert footages for some post hardcore bands I'm the mid 2000s. There's even a greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag scene.
I remember renting Aliens, and my father turned the box around to show Ellen in the power loader face to face with the alien queen....and asked, "are you sure you want to see this?"....I had nightmares about chestbursters for years, but that is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Thank you Blockbuster. I saw Critters at a friend's house soon after and it became a close second. Then I saw Tremors (based on VHS box art)...The best three sci-fi movies ever.
so the boring ass trailer, the fact its an uninspired prequel, the fact that SW died 30 years ago, the track record of the last 15 SW projects... all that doesn't convince you that critters 5 is a better project than solo?
Yes i saw Critters 2 in theaters when i was 6 in St Louis a month before monving to Omaha as i liked the first movie and i remembered when Lee became the playmate i ad a crush on her.
Are you guys gonna review Critters Attack (2019)? I would love to see you guys tackle it since you're obviously fans like myself. Also, there's apparently a TV series on Shudder titled Critters: A New Binge which came out in early 2019 as well. Great video as well, thank you.
I love the way Mike just throws out "He's the town blacksmith" as if he's accustomed to all towns having an assigned blacksmith in the year of our lord 2018 instead of back when he was a kid getting the Conestoga wagons ready to for another year's work on the homestead
Bastion of Kuul Dude, did you, like, steal my Display Pic!? Anyways, I like Critters 2 better than Critters 1, might have just been that Blond with the Big Boobs though....
re:View - like you're reviewing the movie and it's like the "re:" prefix meaning "regarding" like "regarding our viewing" dude, I just got it and I've been subbed for years.
Mike with his knowledge of metal core and hardcore bands from the 2000s is always fascinating for me for some reason. I keep waiting for him to bring up Tim Lambasis at some point for a zinger.
I think they shot some concert videos and music videos for some post-hardcore bands back in the mid-2000's. Like blessthefall and Scary kids scaring kids. There's also a Greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag set.
The coolest thing about the Critters is that they roll around as fuzzy balls. Such a genius way to get around the monumental task of making the puppets move around.
Jay came up with the "Critters Bite Back" title WAY too fast to seem spontaneous. He 150% has a fully complete script in a safe at home.

Critters Bite Back also needs an Uber-Critter that’s voiced by Jeremy Irons and explains the Critters backstory in a long-winded monologue.
I was not on board with Critters 5, until I read that

I'm in.
But the monologue has to be in a language that neither the other characters nor the audience speak or have any hope of understanding.

I remember renting Aliens, and my father turned the box around to show Ellen in the power loader face to face with the alien queen....and asked, "are you sure you want to see this?"....I had nightmares about chestbursters for years, but that is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Thank you Blockbuster. I saw Critters at a friend's house soon after and it became a close second. Then I saw Tremors (based on VHS box art)...The best three sci-fi movies ever.
This channel/show never disappoints! I love hearing their ideas for spin offs
I Can't wait for Deadpool 2 and Solo a star wars story review, so I can have an opinion on them.
I hope they hate -improvised?- time travel like me, but I want to decide if I hate or not.
I am willing to trust guys who made a living making a movies about their well researched criticism's of said movies.
Angie Idol Yeah.. There's something about building an opinion, it's fun.
I know I won’t like both but waiting to hear why
so the boring ass trailer, the fact its an uninspired prequel, the fact that SW died 30 years ago, the track record of the last 15 SW projects... all that doesn't convince you that critters 5 is a better project than solo?
Did anyone watch "Critters: Bounty Hunter - Fan Film (HD)"? Fan made but surprisingly high production value :-)
10:48 I love how Grimes gets top billing over Leo
Never wanted an RLM project to go forward as badly as I want to see Critters 5: Critters Bite Back (TM)
This was just made so Michael can talk about Neelix.
Critters 2 is close to my heart because of roxanne kernohan. Saw that movie first in my early teens so her appearance was quite impressive
Yes i saw Critters 2 in theaters when i was 6 in St Louis a month before monving to Omaha as i liked the first movie and i remembered when Lee became the playmate i ad a crush on her.
I saw one of the original Critter creatures at a museum in Seattle a few years ago. My wife had no idea what it was.
Scott grimes is also Steve Smith on American dad
I had that pleather ET doll. That exact one. That's why I remember this movie.
Grimes, of course, also played Malarkey in Band of Brothers.
i love this movie... and you guys.
I just happened across this video, first time viewing your channel, and I absolutely loved this. :D Those movies really were so great/terrible.
Are you guys gonna review Critters Attack (2019)? I would love to see you guys tackle it since you're obviously fans like myself. Also, there's apparently a TV series on Shudder titled Critters: A New Binge which came out in early 2019 as well. Great video as well, thank you.
Scaredy Cats did a good review on youtube
I love the way Mike just throws out "He's the town blacksmith" as if he's accustomed to all towns having an assigned blacksmith in the year of our lord 2018 instead of back when he was a kid getting the Conestoga wagons ready to for another year's work on the homestead
I love Critters. It is a weird movie. I love the space bounty hunters. The intro of the critters breaking out of prison is super fun too.
Also Jay, Power of the Night is a classic.
I remember watching this movie, but I can't remember a single scene from the movie, but I loved the movie!
Bastion of Kuul Dude, did you, like, steal my Display Pic!? Anyways, I like Critters 2 better than Critters 1, might have just been that Blond with the Big Boobs though....
There can only be one! :) I kid...80's horror film boobs are always a +
Bastion of Kuul Guess you kinda Ripped off the Crow Eyes too.... No Big Deal!
re:View - like you're reviewing the movie and it's like the "re:" prefix meaning "regarding" like "regarding our viewing"
dude, I just got it and I've been subbed for years.
Given that this review came out before Critters Attack! I always do wonder if they'll ever ironically review that film.
Mike with his knowledge of metal core and hardcore bands from the 2000s is always fascinating for me for some reason. I keep waiting for him to bring up Tim Lambasis at some point for a zinger.
I think they shot some concert videos and music videos for some post-hardcore bands back in the mid-2000's. Like blessthefall and Scary kids scaring kids. There's also a Greeley estates poster in the background of the half in the bag set.
