Dungeons & Dragons - Caravan of Garbage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- The first shot at a Dungeons & Dragons movie was not the 2023 entry Honor Amongst Thieves starring one Chris Pine. Unfortunately. There is in fact an earlier attempt from the year 2000 that takes aim at reinvention the fantasy genre by bringing to the big screen all the elements people know and love from D & D. Quests. Magic. Elves. A big porridge rug. The second Jimmy Olsen from Lois and Clark. It's not very good however despite getting two sequels. Direct to DVD. But still. Thanks for listening!

I can't believe I've been listening to the podcast and watching the videos for 8 years. Y'all are the longest lasting relationship I've ever had.
Longer than your dominant hand?
That's so romantic
@@evandickinson6393 Got ‘em!
Nice
I found them when I was looking for reviews for valerian and the city of thousand planets.
@@evandickinson6393 🔥🔥🔥
James' little giggle when he's midway through Blue Harvest and Mason realises 😂
To be fair it's impossible to say with a straight face
And the boos are perfect and hilarious 😂😆
Mason's extremely low-energy "boo." at James' blue harvest joke was GREAT
The movie did originally have “Lord of the Rings” level graphics, but Jeremy Irons was eating so much scenery, they had too stretch out what scenery they had left and this is what we got lol
Brilliant
Nah mate, he ate so much scenery they had to waste their entire effects budget on replacing it all with CGI backgrounds
Chewing*
@@MrJakePaddy no, he swallowed...
Right when it was time for Green Trivia, I thought to myself "I miss the Blue Harvest bit". I never laughed harder than I did for this one
lmao same
Don't encourage him, please, I've got money...
I had this one spotted three words in, hope he isn’t losing his fastball!
@@meloD30 I'm listening
Jeremy Irons is one of those rare actors who, while they can't *save* a bad film, can at least give your money's worth while they are on screen.
I don't think the guy has ever actually delivered a bad role
His role in Margin Call was awful and despite Joe Rogan not committing crimes or breaking the law, he is not a good person.
@@steverogers7601 whatever, crackhead

"Authoritarians did nothing wrong"
@@steverogers7601 wtf are you on about Irons is magnificent in Margin Call. Absolutely cold blooded CEO done extremely well.
@@Davidsworldtravels hes a Joe rogan fan so really that says it all.
I love that Ben From Canada's brainrot from having to watch all these movies and edit videos on them has grown from snide captions all the way to just inserting a clip of himself correcting James
EDIT: Oh good god they're making him watch Pixels. Ben From Canada are you... are you okay?
More Ben please. He's the stealth 3rd voice of this channel.
Once he got to the part about requiring special seaweed I knew what was happening.
So did Mason😂😂😂
Haven't watched it yet but does it have to do with Rodney?
@@futuredozer1735 indirectly, yes
I actually got as far as thinking, "Wow, I can't believe they went to all that trou-.....waaaiiit a minute."
Not only do Beholders have many eyes, they're also extremely paranoid so it makes even less sense for them to sneak around it
And doesn't at least one of the eyes disintegrate whatever it looks at?
Plus extremely combatative with other beholders.
@@Sharklops Each eye has a different magic ability. The main eye can fire a disintegration beam.
Very weird that one would be on guard duty as well.
@@MorallyDubiousFrog Actually, at least as of 5e, the main eye is an anti-magic field
I’m convinced most of the 80s fantasy movie AI videos use this movie as reference material and it isn’t even from the 80s
I was actually discussing this very flick last week with a mate who didn't know it existed and he was like, "Oh they made one in 2000" and I was all "That must have been the third one then" but it wasn't, Harry, it wasn't the third one at all! It was the first one, then the sequels are even more years after fuckin' _The Matrix_ and _Jurassic Park_ and _Lord of New Zealand_ and shit!
Lord of New Zealand is my jam
The lighting on the AI generated images is too good to be copied from this movie. I suspect their main refferences are _Krull_ and _Ladyhawk_
I genuinely didn't know this was from the year 2000 until this video. I thought it was made in, like, 1993 or something (that being said, I've never actually seen the movie, I just know of its existence).
Ya but DND is
imagine being the executive who said to James Cameron, in 1999, "so what makes you think you can direct our movie?" If you do that, you deserve to hear about it every day for the rest of your career.
They deserve to have that tattooed on their forehead.
This episode had everything I love. Jeremy irons, around the twist, shade on spellbinders, and references to nominitive determinism.
You yourself are an example of nominative determinism, having the appearance of two or more large cats.
I did NOT expect Around the Twist. But then, does anyone ever?
And Blue Harvest :)
And RODNEYYYYYYYYYYYY!
The Blue Harvest joke made my day😂
I'm surprised Ben doesn't love this movie and defend it, actually.
What a treat to have Green Trivia, Blue Harvest and the Guy Who Shouts Rodney all in one episode again.
Reign of Fire came out 2 years after this movie and it still has some of the best looking dragons to this day which is crazy to think about
So True...👌
Good movie, underrated, but I still hate they cut a lot of stuff
Best is still Dragonslayer.
well they did the smart thing and mainly had 1 dragon at a time and shown hiding behind real scenery and sets most of the time. This movie went nuts and had like 70 badly rendered dragons all flying around a fake city and fake sky.
i need more editor interventions, no way they these bogans are right all the time
The only line that's stuck with me 23 years later is when the Female Mage casts the rope on the main guys, Second Jimmy Olsen smarms "This must be the only way she can get guys to come home with her." to which she quips "I would have to cast a feeble-mind spell on myself to take the likes of you home."
Just...Just wonderful.
My heart sank at the end of this as I genuinely thought you were announcing a Caravan of Garbage for Schindler’s List. I was worried you guys were about to nuke your own UA-cam channel 😂
PSA: you CANNOT talk about this film without the hilarious deleted scene, which both makes the film make so much more sense and features the funniest incomplete dragon CGI I have ever seen. I remember howling watching this with my dad when I was little. Good times
Holy shit I never expected a Dimension 20 crossover on Caravan of Garbage
Deep cut and underappreciated joke
It’s amazing to see
HOOT-GROWL! HOOT-GROWL!
Was totally expecting a Hilda-Hilda reference when they started talking about funny names
@@IAmMightyMike what was the joke?
Rodney! Also this movie has my favorite "who allowed this to happen and why" quote. The dwarf is talking about dwarven women having beards while riding a horse and starts rocking dramatically whilst declaring it is better when you have 'SOEMTHING TO HOLD ON TO'
I have come to look forward to *Ben* and *Laurence's* editing as much as the hilarious commentary by *Nick* and *James.* _Bravo to all!_ 🙋🏼♂️
I cannot imagine being 19-20 and having 35-100 million dollars and a major franchise on my shoulders it’s a remarkable achievement he even got this released
I do kind of feel for the guy.
He got the rights cheaply because the owners of the IP probably never expected anything to come of it, only for those same people to alienate some of the hottest directing talent in Hollywood and place him in the position of having to direct a SFX-heavy action-fantasy film with no prior experience and just over a third of the budget that would have been available if they'd been able to secure commitment from someone with a proven track record.
Honestly I think that the lackluster state of the CGI, video compositing and dungeoneering sections can be attributed to the budget and the lack of experience necessary to make up for those deficiencies. They probably couldn't afford to do much in the way of fight choreography, or give the actors a sufficient amount of money to justify spending the time on choreography and rehearsal, and I imagine that the CGI issues weren't helped by the intended scope (especially at the end where there are loads of dragons flying around and causing chaos. They kind of picked the worst possible creatures to try and animate: the number of unique animations and variation in models that would have been needed to translate the dragons to the screen for such a brief part of the film would have been really difficult to do well back then. At least the beholder didn't have legs, but integrating it into footage convincingly and articulating every on of its eyes and facial features probably ended up making it a quite difficult creature in its own right and it doesn't look great.).
Three things… I knew when he said shade of lipstick. Second, that blue harvest story is the second time you’ve used some blue plant or algae thing for blue harvest. Third I FUCKING LOVE YOU BOTH!
Just because of this video, I'm putting Damodar Snakeears into my next game. I'm curious if any of my players will get the reference.
My friends and I saw this movie in theatres and there was one other group of folks in there with us. During the scene where the beholder comes around and one of the characters says, "it's a beholder!", one of the guys in the other group leans over to his friends and says "ummmm I believe that's a beholder KIN".
Anyway my friends and I still will say "I believe that's a beholder KIN" any chance we get.
I’m honestly interested in seeing the Chris Pine Dungeons and Dragons movie despite never playing DND, I was interested with seeing the movie when I saw that clip where the cast fail with the 5 questions for the dead person.
Same here
that clip is pure D&D energy
Ben from Canada popping in at 21:53 is the best part 😂 more Ben from Canada needed!
The Blue Harvest comeback made my day. Genuinely put a big smile on my face 😁
11 years after Jack Nicholson in Batman, the Hollywood equation for IP blockbusters was still 'Just put all your casting money into the villain'
Please don't make Ben and Laurence watch modern Sandler. They're good boys. They don't deserve to be punished like this.
I contend that current Sandler is fine. You just have to start with 2016 after The Do Over. The Hotel Transylvania movies are decent kid flicks, and everything else ranges from passable to fantastic (he genuinely deserved an Oscar nod for Uncut Gems).
No one deserved Pixels…
I don’t even wanna watch a video making fun of Pixels, imagine having to watch the full movie! And having to go over certain scenes several times to get the edit right!
@@wesstapley Naaaaaaaaaah
The old stuff was on the same level as the new stuff. Make of that what you will...
could’ve cried when I realised where james was going with that lipstick joke, what a comeback
I really appreciate Ben trying to class this one up with a tonne of Succession clips.
Damodar popping up in the new movie at 25:18 and being lambasted by Chris Pine (nearly wrote Chris Pratt here) absolutely slew me, so you guys get some experience points for that, I guess.
I remember vividly watching this and spotting two extras in a bar fight scene just holding each other’s shoulders and rocking back and forth.
I sadly didn't notice the blue harvest until it was too late, he bloody got me
I loved this movie when I was young and stupid. I remember the dragons being photorealistic and WOW.
Life comes at you fast.
Yeah, I grew up with ps1 graphics, this seemed awesome looking at the age of 11...
Still felt boring and stupid tho.
Jeremy Irons is the greatest part of this movie he's just looks like he's having the most fun with this
Rodney AND Blue Harvest. Legendary moment in history
Dimension 20 footage makes me happy, thanks editors
I saw this in the cinema several times in Ireland. Then I was in the Netherlands and films opened months later there and I saw it a few more times. It was so enjoyable. I probably have seen this in the theater more times than anyone else has. I don't know what that says about me
I'm not sure what it says either, but it's certainly a lot
It’s my time now to be everybody’s favourite guy; GUY WHO MENTIONS TRIVIA IN THE COMMENTS THAT JAMES FORGOT !!
Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor Who, is in this film. He was one of the actors in the running for Gandalf but, obviously, was rejected in favour of Ian McKellen. Baker took a role in this film because he thought it would be a similar production, and one that required him not to relocate to New Zealand for the better part of a year, and allegedly hated every part of the production despite his small role. He is even quoted as saying he only briefly looked at the script and came onto set believing he was playing an elk.
Have you ever, ever felt like this?
When strange things are happening, are you going round the twist?
I can remember the theme tune to a 90s tv show, but I can't remember what I did last week...
The Guy Who Shouts Rodney always brightens up my day. Unfortunately I did not see this week's Blue Harvest coming.
I did see this back in 2000 and for 23 years I haven't been able to say the right words to describe what I saw. Thank you guys. You nailed it.
By showing Brennan Lee Mulligan AND Broden Kelly in this video, you have suggested a College Humor/Aunty Donna/Mr Sunday Movies Avengers-style crossover, and it’s all I ever needed.
"I asked myself: What is this?"
It's perfection, my friend. Complete and total perfection!
The sudden crit role song clip had me living thank you Ben and Laurence great edit 🎉🎉🎉
The dimension 20 layover justified my dropout subscription lmao
I'm glad my upload of the D&D movie making-of helped you for the video guys !
I really want to watch James and Maso play Dungeons and Dragons now with Ben as the Dungeon Master
Loved this film as a kid, that snails death/porridge scene used to kill me. Thanks for the nostalgia.
That blue harvest bit, got me real good 😂
1:39 God bless you, Ben or Laurence; whoever decided to use Ocean's Eleven there. It's the simple, not-necessarily-a-meme references that make me appreciate your videos so much.
Seeriously, the special effects on _Young Sherlock Holmes_ were leagues better than those in the first _Dungeons & Dragons_ movie... but YSH came out in 1985!! So all their creature effects (like the little flying demon-monkeys) were done Ray Harrihausen style in stop motion with actual figurines. Except for the stained glass golem, that knight that jumped out of a stained glass window... that one was actually ground-breaking early CGI, if I remember a making-off I saw correctly.
The preemptive “boo” while James tries to finish his Blue Harvest bit 😂
As a Dimension 20 fan, I love the use of Lou's Nat 20 clip lol
Btw everyone, Nick Mason makes a guest appearance on Dragon Friends in a 2 part DnD podcast adventure. He plays a street urchin trying to become an amateur detective. It's brilliant.
Succession, Better Call Saul AND Dimension 20? Ben and Laurence speaking directly to my soul
My favorite thing is the commentary track for it which is 90% "We had this cool scene right here but we ran out of money.*
Richard O'Brien as Thieves Guild Master Xilus is amazing, though, and clearly having the time of his life, for all of the 10 minutes or so that he is in that movie.
Seeing dimension 20 footage on a Mr Sunday video is very strange for me, like finding out a friend from school knows a friend from college.
I just want to say that I am a huge fan of the choice to use Dimension 20 as the representation of D&D right at the start
Good gief, at 11:49 you can actually see the green screen glitching out in two spots.
The second anyone mentions Round the Twist the theme song immediately plays in my head and doesn't stop for about a week.
I'm always here for the lulz and jokes.
But Maso really floored my by casually dropping nominative determinism in relation to the villains shade of lipstick.
These guys are fucking funny but also seem to be well-read and worldly, and not just about comics and TV shows.
The guy who shouts Rodney never fails to make me smile
Fantasy High in a Mr Sunday Movies video, the crossover I didn't know I needed.
I will always love the guy who yells Rodney
The more disconnected we get from the origin of the “guy who shouts Rodney” clip, the funnier it gets to me
Ben's interjections are frequently some of the funniest parts of these videos
How on earth did Ben and Laurence land on a quick pull from 90s Australian children's TV show 'Round The Twist' @12.26 when James mentioned 'eating snails?' What an amazing, but wildly obscure reference!
This harkens back to classic caravan of garbage for me. And that's not to dis anything you've done recently. But I always love when you guys tackle an obscure straight-to-DVD-looking thing with terrible special effects 😂
I profoundly identify with the green trivia guy who shouts “Rodney” and then gets eviscerated.
New fan. Currently watching every Caravan of Garbage, ever I almost didn't watch this video because I don't care about D&D but the Blue Harvest bit made me glad I did.
Since it looks like Space Marine 2 is coming out this year, I would love to see them review the animated Ultramarines movie. It may even be worse than this
At least Richard O'Brien had fun hosting that very special edition of The Crystal Maze.
They had to use Beholders because it's an instantly recognizable D&D monster that was featured on covers for classic books. A Lich or a Tarrasque wouldn't be that widely known.
Nicely put huge nerd
10:00 the whole Richard O'Brien segment of the movie is a lot more entertaining in retrospect now that I know about his Crystal Maze series, which had run in the UK from 1990 to 1993 but nobody outside the UK had any idea existed. I'd like to know what the marketing for the movie was like in the UK and if they played up the connection.
I imagine Caravan of garbage videos for this year are going to involve a lot of films in trilogies:
For Fast and Furious 10: F&F 4,5,6
For Mission impossible 7: MI 4,5,6
For Indiana Jones 5: Indiana Jones 1,2,3?
Thank you Ben from Canada for your service at 21:51
I just remembered that eragon and this movie are separate entities
OMG Spellbinder is something I watched dubbed (in hungarian) as a child and often think about but gave up on finding because I wasn't sure which part of it was real and which was something I just made up! Thanks so much, guys!!
I exactly know what you mean! I grew up in the Netherlands watching a lot of subbed australian shows that our local network aired for some reason. Round the Twist, Spellbinder, Secret Valley, Mission Top Secret... ehmm... The one with the big clock time machine in the mall... what was it called...? Timekeeper?
I may as well go on the record as saying I really enjoy Conan the Destroyer. Why? Because while it may not do Conan justice, it is the ultimate Dungeons & Dragons movie. Think about it: It has a band of unique fantasy archetypes coming together and engaging in various adventures as part of a larger overarching quest (alongside an NPC maiden and her Lawful Evil companion), working together and using their various skills to solve problems and puzzles in different lairs and combat enemies. None of that "wait outside the cave" stuff. You can practically smell the basement full of teenagers sipping soda and eating snacks, and hear the dice as they roll for initiative during a late-night gaming session sometime in the '80's. I keep that in mind whenever I watch it, and it becomes perfect.
16:56 I wonder what James looked into with dragon blood 😂
Massive fan, I think that Rodney bit before trivia has officially lost its charm, so it shouldn't be more than 4-6 months before James gets tired of it. Again, huge fan and keep up the awesome work.
They need to make a Dragonlance movies series! There are well established characters and an long running epic storyline with plenty of potential trilogy ideas!
Well, If there's one positive thing about this movie, is that this movie convinced me Jeremy Irons could've been a great Green Goblin.
My roommate and I went to see this in the theater and nearly walked out. Also for years I remembered the ending being that the Best Friend Squad convene over Marlon Wayans's grave and revived him via the Power of Friendship.
It's so nice to know James gets excited when he gets started😊 with the Blue Harvest bit because tbh, same
The "council chamber" was an actual opera house in, like... Poland or somewhere, I think? The Chapel of Bones is also a real place, not a movie set, it's a medieval chapel built almost entirely from the bones of dead monks... the candelabras and everything. Most of the movie was shot in Eastern Europe because there's a movie industrie there, and tons of old medieval castles, but you could also shoot movie for really cheap there because back then they werent in the EU (Poland became a member of the European Union in 2004) and their currency was cheap in exchange with Dollars and you could get extras (helpers for the set, background actors etc) for cheap.
The bit about tossing the script back and forth, and then trying to hoodwink a possum into making the next dnd movie got me
I absolutely love the Aunty Donna clips sprinkled through these videos. Thank you Ben and or Lawrence ❤️
I forgot about Round the Twist. Now I just want to compare all bad special effects to it. I mean, that floating head scene from Thor: Love and Thunder looks like it's from a Round the Twist reboot that lasts a year and then is quietly cancelled.
Gotta say, the guy who shouts Rodney looks spectacular and high definition after watching this Dungeons & Dragons video.
Way to go Swamp Thing the movie!
I will resurrect my favourite joke to my friends that the actual sequel to this movie was going to be called "the search for snails"
Sad you didn’t mention in Green Trivia that they got Richard O’Brien the original presenter of The Crystal Maze to essentially run a Crystal Maze in this film.
Thank you!! I came down here to say this. I guess they didn't get The Crystal Maze in Australia. 😅 But Richard O'Brian was fabulously campy in this as always.
I'm glad I'm not the only person to notice this movie shares a plot with Phantom Menace.
Ben.....Laurence!! I love the Aunty Donna cuts. Let's get some Praise the Sun too!!
