Random townsfolk in Australia?

I can never imagine the pain of your own body literally melting by cellular & internal chemical means... Either the nerve endings are destroyed before the meat suit is loosing its integrity or you're just left with overwhelming, unimaginable pain....
The closest actual thing I can think of that like this is what happens to the body during acute radiation sickness / radiation poisoning. Its ruthless and literally liquifys the body due to destroying the DNA/ chromosomes.
I love how the branch manager knew this shit was killing people, and still chose to take the supplements anyway. That shows the level of intelligence of the people running that company.
I like how Pudd, despite being the man behind the 'perfected' Vimuville that doesnt break down the user's body, still suffers permanent brain damage from the drugs along with his family to make them all Australian Chainsaw Massacre. It really drives home the movie's moral that Wonderdrugs are not supposed to be an easy alternative to healthy living.

I know this has been up for a while now, just felt the need to point out that old lifespan averages being in the 30s wasn't actually because most people were dying in their 30s. It was because so many children died of illness or various other causes that the average got dragged down. If you made it into your 20s, you could be expected to live well into your 60s and occasionally 70s.

The idea that the average lifespan back in history was in the 30s and 60 was ancient is mostly false. Average lifespans were skewed by high infant and child mortality. If you reached early adulthood, you were probably going to live into your 60s and beyond.
Just shows proof of how warped our history is and the false information that can be spread. I did not actually know that, i thought like Roanoke did that the average life span was around 60 back then.
@@DarkNight3603 Our history isn't warped. It's recorded correctly. The problem is, most people don't bother reading it and spew like you said false or, incomplete information. Like the whole 'peasents were illiterate' thing. Of course peasents could read and write their native languages, but it's unlikely they knew the language used by nobles like French in England or the Latin used in the church.

@Toxic Anonymity If you lived past ten you could expect to live until you were at least 40, unless you were a woman, in witch case you had anywhere between a 1 in 4 or 1 in 10 ( depending on exactly when ) chance of dying during pregnancy or birth

But your explanation makes much more sense when it comes to it's ability to be passed on to other people.

Great review and breakdown! I remember watching this in 2001 and it just was weird. Fun Fact: The old mechanic called Pud in this film is Vincent Gil; the man that played the Night-Rider in Mad Max.

@Wolf You can't have content that's bad for kids, but you also can't advertise on kid-friendly anymore. The grey area is just terrible because it's so limiting.
Considering muscle cells have to rip themselves in half every time they're used to move you, you'd at best only get a single motion in each direction before you'd be paralyzed from muscle destruction.
The 'family' are all survivors from the doctor's previous attempt at making a vimuville style human enhancer! The 'younger son' appears to have perfect accuracy (when he snipes the kangaroo and towards the end with the red vial) The 'older son' seems to be have one good arm and one bad arm The daughter appears to be the most physically imposing The father has incredible hearing (as we learn from the doctor) and supposedly "Mack is the 'brainy one'" as for the old lady watching p0rn I have no idea
So they aren't actually inbred. They're just really fucked up from the supplement. "Keep it in the family" didn't mean incest. "It" was the supplement and they didn't want to infect anyone else with it.
@@concludedhail40 Yeah there's an old lady in the family. She doesn't speak, she barely moves and like...just breathes heavily. One of the boys goes into the house briefly, sees the TV on, goes to sit on the couch and realizes he's sitting on an old woman sitting on the couch, alive but like...saying nothing and just kind of making strained noises.

Hey ROANOKE here's a fact from the volatile episode people who do parkour are not parkers they are technically called traceur for men with the feminine form being traceuse
HOLY CRAP. I’m Australian and had NO idea about this movie. Thank you for bringing it to my attention 🤜 Some of the actors in this i know and never expected them to be in something like this 🤣
I had a form of meningitis when I was around 10, my left eye was messed up pretty bad for a while it was like 3 times the size it normally and looked bruised like I just got punched in the face., I couldn’t even open the eye either it was like it was super glued shut and trying gave me splitting migraines for hours. Was in the hospital for about a month and a half, it was weird I couldn’t open it for anything for like 28ish days than when I woke up it was completely fine.
If your question is "should we do a wellness check on Australia?", 9 times out of 10, the answer is yes. The remaining 1 out of 10 are the koala keepers.
man, the 90s were a hell of a drug in all seriousness, I do have my own theory about what's going on. It's possible that the mechanic worked for a chemical company that was developing some sort of steroid, presumably to increase growth of cattle due to the beef industry being so prominent in Australia. When the steroid didn't work/did work but had unintended side effects, the chemical company was bought by a fitness corporation that repurposed the chemical plant to manufacture the supplement. Either the supplement was designed from the previous steroid or contaminated by half-assed sanitization of the facility and equipment (as is par for the course with any corporation), to screw with the effects of the supplement. Chances are once the formula was complete the mechanic who was working at the chemical plant (and by extension developed genetic damage from chemical exposure due to lax safety culture at the plant) to develop it was let go due to corporate downsizing and he sabotaged the formula by snatching the stabilizing compound on the way out. I think the "supplement" is more of a hyper-steroid than an infectious pathogen, and causes existing bacteria and other cells in the body to mutate rapidly. this sort of explains the varied responses that are displayed by the victims, with odd growths in some and biological matter acting independent of the main body in others. The mutations would compound and cause a runaway effect as the genetic aberrations building up until the cells just fall apart.
All that stuff about cells turning against each other, kinda made me think of Parasite Eve and how that worked. Now that is one I’d like to see broken down.
Fun fact that validates your views here is that the poster says ‘Stage 1: Hallucinations, Stage 2: Organ Failure, Stage 3: Body Melt” The scientist from the beginning never gets to it, “The first phase is hallucinogenic. The second phase is glandular. And the third phase is…” before he goes through the windshield and dies. But the third phase is that your body falls apart.
Still watching this four years later LMAO. This movie is still so very wild even after actively seeking such weirdness! But it's like a trainwreck, can't stop coming back to this episode.
how do you think alex murcer from the game prototype would work out in real life? would he just cook him self alive and cagulate his entire body like how frying an egg in a red hot pan, thanks to his seconds fast regeneration and bodily building for diferent weapons or would he somehow be able to survive that kind of level of cell generation
Isn't it heavily implied he doesn't actually generate any cells but simply steal them from others. He doesn't have regeneration, he just shifts his mass around and assimilates more cells; that's kinda why he needs to restore his "biomass" by eating people.
@@notsae66 well yeah, but think of it like this, when you're 1 bullet away from dieing, you look exactly the same as when he us max HP, I feel like with the virus, he developed like a super cell that stores everything that he consumed as compressed energy, instead of fat not to also mention shifting biomass around would currently require a lot of energy aswell
@@SuperNova-nl5eb Honestly, that's the kinda thing we basically have to chalk up to game limitations, much like his inability to swim is (contrary to popular belief) not because water somehow harms him but because the developers just didn't want to program that and thought it didn't fit the gameplay style and the fact that he can retake the shape of anyone he's consumed, not just the last one. Some of the abilities he has couldn't be displayed in the game because their simply aren't enough buttons and so on, like the fact that (unlike Heller) Mercer was capable of freeform shapeshifting and creating his own new weapons (Heller needed to consume existing genes to adapt himself, Mercer just came up with them seemingly in the fly) and that he can (as the second game showed) deliberately infect others. He is essentially a ball of slime in the shape of a human being, taking in more meat to make into slime to keep himself together when he loses existing slime. As for the super cells... maybe? He does seem to be incredibly dense in the literal sense. I don't know how much energy that would take, but eating entire human beings by the dozens seems like it would supply a good bit.
Having just completed Prototype, I can say Blackwatch would have had a ton of fun "burning out" the infection. Blackwatch - answer to your every biological concern!
People living to 60 wasn't an "anomaly", the reason the average life expectancy was around 30 was Because half the population died before turning 10, if you survived your first 10 years you were likely to live until your 50s-60s From the national library of medicine: (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11639284/) "Contrary to the accepted view that people in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance were considered old from their forties, in fact they were classified as old between the ages of 60 and 70. In schemes for the division of the life-course into stages old-age begins over a wide range of ages."

As an Australian, I never seen this film but cheers for reviewing it dude, looks interesting, my first impression, I thought it was just an old x-file episode that I must've missed out on but man.. too me it also looks like a John Carpenter film
Great review and breakdown! I remember watching this in 2001 and it just was weird. Fun Fact: The old mechanic called Pud in this film is Vincent Gil; the man that played the Night-Rider in Mad Max.
Hey it’s me, Your Friendly Neighborhood Murderous Doctor!
Let me into your home, theres no problem!
@@RoanokeGaming Take these supplements. They are good for you.
Ignore the secret cameras.
Damn, I missed the uncensored version, that sucks
never got released, got hit before I even pressed publish lol
@@RoanokeGaming that's kinda bullshit from UA-cam, ngl
@@RoanokeGaming Hmmm... -_-
Really..?
I think UA-cam is turning into a snowflake platform, you can get away with the thing yet this gets reported.. I honestly don't see how it's so bad, again UA-cam is turning into a platform for snowflakes and softies🤣
@Wolf You can't have content that's bad for kids, but you also can't advertise on kid-friendly anymore. The grey area is just terrible because it's so limiting.
You know a movie is from the 90's when the kid is rollerblading
Not true, remember Paddington?
I rollerblade still.
I'm just over here for the science. The visuals make my hands go numb but your explanation of why things happen are soo cool that it's worth it.
Considering muscle cells have to rip themselves in half every time they're used to move you, you'd at best only get a single motion in each direction before you'd be paralyzed from muscle destruction.

The 'family' are all survivors from the doctor's previous attempt at making a vimuville style human enhancer!
The 'younger son' appears to have perfect accuracy (when he snipes the kangaroo and towards the end with the red vial)
The 'older son' seems to be have one good arm and one bad arm
The daughter appears to be the most physically imposing
The father has incredible hearing (as we learn from the doctor)
and supposedly "Mack is the 'brainy one'"
as for the old lady watching p0rn I have no idea
The old lady watching WHAT?????
So they aren't actually inbred. They're just really fucked up from the supplement. "Keep it in the family" didn't mean incest. "It" was the supplement and they didn't want to infect anyone else with it.
@@concludedhail40 Yeah there's an old lady in the family. She doesn't speak, she barely moves and like...just breathes heavily. One of the boys goes into the house briefly, sees the TV on, goes to sit on the couch and realizes he's sitting on an old woman sitting on the couch, alive but like...saying nothing and just kind of making strained noises.

Glad you like them!
A Roanoke upload during my lunch break. Today’s my day
I’m sorry about your lost lunch
I'd be really curious to know what you could come up with as a movie invasive creature/desease with all your knowledge! You should make like your own horror movie script and make a video about that!
The Sentient Placenta is so cool! I want one!
Dude I'm binging your channel, I love your summarys and scientific approach. and omg I love wierd scifi movies. Thanks Bro
I like that you added a bunch of Left 4 Dead/ Left 4 Dead 2 themes into the background of this video.
I honestly never heard about movie before, but it seems good. Nice video as always!
Finally... I can become the primordeal soup.
Forget man, return to soup.
Just so you know, Roanoke, the pronunciation of Melbourne is “Mel-Burn” xD As for the movie being so death-loving... People sometimes casually refer to Australia as a Death Continent 😂
Melbin*
I thought it was "meh'bin"
ive watched this one before, but I just NOW realized you have some L4D background music lol... brings me back
2:07 - oh that early "3D graphics" usage in PC. They was really thinking "hey, we can draw 3D model of street on screen, WHY NOT?". How...naive.
It’s always weird hearing non Australians pronounce Melbourne lmao.
They always go: MeL-BoRN instead of Mel-ben
It is rather infuriating
Indeed
@@jackadevil9746 How do you get "Ben" out of "Bourne"? lol. Language is weird.
Melbourne, Gloucester and Leicester all have the same pronunciation energy
Hey ROANOKE here's a fact from the volatile episode people who do parkour are not parkers they are technically called traceur for men with the feminine form being traceuse
Usually English speakers call them “Tracers”, it’s pretty obvious why.
Maybe so but i dont know i like the Parkers idea for male parkour people and tracers for the females. Cause you know, Tracer
Night3603 No
I love the left 4 dead music in the backround.
HOLY CRAP. I’m Australian and had NO idea about this movie. Thank you for bringing it to my attention 🤜
Some of the actors in this i know and never expected them to be in something like this 🤣
This was great Roanoke! Totally made me remember this movie existed now i have to go give it another watch. Look forward to all your content buddy!
Hey, living in Australia; definitely send all the help
I love how they just take out a large mammal with a rock and their reaction was spot on. Hahaha
After watching this, I am never gonna let my phlegm just slowly drift down the drain, I'm aiming it straight at the sinkhole
I had a form of meningitis when I was around 10, my left eye was messed up pretty bad for a while it was like 3 times the size it normally and looked bruised like I just got punched in the face., I couldn’t even open the eye either it was like it was super glued shut and trying gave me splitting migraines for hours. Was in the hospital for about a month and a half, it was weird I couldn’t open it for anything for like 28ish days than when I woke up it was completely fine.
I’m so happy you mentioned VHS because it’s like, my favoritest unknown horror movie of all time.
Love love love the content helps with everyday activities. The Mr and I love the channel. Keep it up stay safe.
Thanks! Will do!
Good lord five minutes ago? I’m never here this early.
welcome to teh early squad!

For some reason I decided to eat my soup while watching this.
Well, atleast the nasty parts are covered up lmao
@@RoanokeGaming Thank God they are lol of everything you have made a video on this is the only one I dont want to see without being blurred
Dope video. Body Melt is one of my favorite horror cult classic. Hopefully this video has introduced a lot more people to this.
If your question is "should we do a wellness check on Australia?", 9 times out of 10, the answer is yes.
The remaining 1 out of 10 are the koala keepers.
I’m about 6 minutes into this video and I’m now having flashbacks to the Feed Freaks series by Crypt TV
"before meeting his Rule 34 demise"
I- firsts for everything I suppose
Well, this is what Determination does to Monsters. Especially too much of it guarantees that you will melt/die.
man, the 90s were a hell of a drug
in all seriousness, I do have my own theory about what's going on. It's possible that the mechanic worked for a chemical company that was developing some sort of steroid, presumably to increase growth of cattle due to the beef industry being so prominent in Australia. When the steroid didn't work/did work but had unintended side effects, the chemical company was bought by a fitness corporation that repurposed the chemical plant to manufacture the supplement. Either the supplement was designed from the previous steroid or contaminated by half-assed sanitization of the facility and equipment (as is par for the course with any corporation), to screw with the effects of the supplement. Chances are once the formula was complete the mechanic who was working at the chemical plant (and by extension developed genetic damage from chemical exposure due to lax safety culture at the plant) to develop it was let go due to corporate downsizing and he sabotaged the formula by snatching the stabilizing compound on the way out.
I think the "supplement" is more of a hyper-steroid than an infectious pathogen, and causes existing bacteria and other cells in the body to mutate rapidly. this sort of explains the varied responses that are displayed by the victims, with odd growths in some and biological matter acting independent of the main body in others. The mutations would compound and cause a runaway effect as the genetic aberrations building up until the cells just fall apart.
The way kangaroo fell at 5:34...LOL!!!
All that stuff about cells turning against each other, kinda made me think of Parasite Eve and how that worked. Now that is one I’d like to see broken down.
I love your channel SO much, but some body horror really freaks me out and I have no idea why I'm torturing myself with this😅
That’s why if my family ever gets sent weird chemicals by the government, I’m not gonna let them take it until the neighbours have
Fun fact that validates your views here is that the poster says ‘Stage 1: Hallucinations, Stage 2: Organ Failure, Stage 3: Body Melt”
The scientist from the beginning never gets to it, “The first phase is hallucinogenic. The second phase is glandular. And the third phase is…” before he goes through the windshield and dies.
But the third phase is that your body falls apart.
Still watching this four years later LMAO. This movie is still so very wild even after actively seeking such weirdness! But it's like a trainwreck, can't stop coming back to this episode.
how do you think alex murcer from the game prototype would work out in real life? would he just cook him self alive and cagulate his entire body like how frying an egg in a red hot pan, thanks to his seconds fast regeneration and bodily building for diferent weapons or would he somehow be able to survive that kind of level of cell generation
Isn't it heavily implied he doesn't actually generate any cells but simply steal them from others. He doesn't have regeneration, he just shifts his mass around and assimilates more cells; that's kinda why he needs to restore his "biomass" by eating people.
@@notsae66 well yeah, but think of it like this, when you're 1 bullet away from dieing, you look exactly the same as when he us max HP, I feel like with the virus, he developed like a super cell that stores everything that he consumed as compressed energy, instead of fat not to also mention shifting biomass around would currently require a lot of energy aswell
@@SuperNova-nl5eb
Honestly, that's the kinda thing we basically have to chalk up to game limitations, much like his inability to swim is (contrary to popular belief) not because water somehow harms him but because the developers just didn't want to program that and thought it didn't fit the gameplay style and the fact that he can retake the shape of anyone he's consumed, not just the last one. Some of the abilities he has couldn't be displayed in the game because their simply aren't enough buttons and so on, like the fact that (unlike Heller) Mercer was capable of freeform shapeshifting and creating his own new weapons (Heller needed to consume existing genes to adapt himself, Mercer just came up with them seemingly in the fly) and that he can (as the second game showed) deliberately infect others. He is essentially a ball of slime in the shape of a human being, taking in more meat to make into slime to keep himself together when he loses existing slime.
As for the super cells... maybe? He does seem to be incredibly dense in the literal sense. I don't know how much energy that would take, but eating entire human beings by the dozens seems like it would supply a good bit.
So I WAS hungry before watching this but I'm good for now.
I seem to crave ice cream for some reason however ......
Coward, I watched this while eating goopy pasta!
same... and i was gonna go for hot dogs...
Watch Kuso and you’ll never eat again...
Did you know the guy who plays the Dr is Ian Smith, Harold Bishop in Neighbours a soap that is/was big in England and Australia
That one guy's secretary was also in Neighbours. Forget her name though, it's been a very long time.
Thank the Gods its finally over... I loathed Neighbours with a vengeance, godawful zombie drivel.
@@rosiehawtrey has it ended? I've not watched it in years
Killing a Kangaroo being high treason? Nah, it is mostly an annoyance having to pay for car repair after hitting one.
Why did this legitimately make me feel sick MY STOMACH HURTSSSSSSSS

That makes 2 of us
Having just completed Prototype, I can say Blackwatch would have had a ton of fun "burning out" the infection. Blackwatch - answer to your every biological concern!
People living to 60 wasn't an "anomaly", the reason the average life expectancy was around 30 was Because half the population died before turning 10, if you survived your first 10 years you were likely to live until your 50s-60s
From the national library of medicine:
(pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11639284/)
"Contrary to the accepted view that people in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance were considered old from their forties, in fact they were classified as old between the ages of 60 and 70. In schemes for the division of the life-course into stages old-age begins over a wide range of ages."
