The Scorpion King - Caravan of Garbage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2022
- Before he was a big Egyptian morally ambiguous magical warrior man in Black Adam, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsons was a big Egyptian morally ambiguous magical warrior man in The Scorpion King. After his live action movie debut and then being a big CGI scorpion person in The Mummy Returns Mathayus of Akkad (which is his name?) is back in a tale of epic-ish proportions! A tale so epic it got a series of it's own spin-off movies which we will never review. But thanks for watching this one.

#TheMummy #BlackAdam - Розваги
hearing you absolutely roast horses makes me want an entire video series of you two just roasting random animals and/or things.
I would contribute to this kick starter
I’d watch the shit outta that!
I agree. That's the best part xD
I’d join their Patreon for that
Good on em. Horses are bastards.
Gotta admit, it was a bold decision to cast a *ROCK* to play as a Scorpion, since they are natural enemies in the wilderness
It is like casting a shotgun to play a duck or Ezra Miller to play Flash
Ezra Miller and The Flash are like arch enemies? Don’t tell Eobard.
Idk Ezra is catching cases extremely fast.
holy shit this was amazing
Or how Jeremy Irons was originally cast to voice Alloy in the dinosaur robots game.
Sorry, forged.
*It's like casting a 12 guage as Courtney Love in a biopic on Kurt Cobain...
Also, scorpions love hiding under rocks...kinda fits as a metaphor for the story even.
I sleep well knowing that the Blue Harvest bit will never die and it's something that I can expect to make me smile every week
Same !
I feel Mason doesn't want to draw attention to it because then james would never stop. And now he has. So now James won't...
YES! Please do not get rid of this. I SWEAR it surprises me EVERY TIME!
I hope they kill it
blue harvest and green trivia forever baby
"Your horse is dumb as shit, mate" got a hearty chuckle from me.
Wonderful horse-slander, 10/10 video.
I read this comment before the video started. I now have VERY high expectations for this episode.
I love that the number of inside jokes just keep increasing and they're in every single episode, I was baffled to hear the Rodney compilation again
The fact they put in weird Aussie shit is a true highlight, I know a fraction of it but love they have the balls to not care if people get the references.
I have been on some contiki tours though, got invited by an Aussie, they are indeed wild.
It's like a fire hose of inside jokes too. Because ever since its inception, Caravan of Garbage hasn't really had a ton of running gags or inside jokes the way the podcast does. But for some reason this year they've added so many lol
They NEED to bring back Corn Of Coblin. That's my single favorite joke they've ever done.
Also #StarWarsJacketSpeculation, "Sim-bee-it sim-by-oat whatever", "buy me a pint", "hold me back boys"
James and Maso are the fucken best.
@@MiguelJimenez-uc3yz Corn of Coblin isn't even a running gag in the videos, they just said it in one video but it's so good that it has staying power as a meme
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep yeah but it is an "inside joke" though. And it's a running gag in the comments. And I'm here for it
To me this movie is a great example for future generations of something you'd definitely watch if it was on TV. Which is some day going to be a foreign concept, that idea of "oh look Scorpion King is on, that's worth a watch I guess, I might actually see the first half hour of it this time".
Interesting factoid, before Dwayne Johnson was called The Rock he actually went by the stage name Blue Harvest. Which as some of you may know was also the name of the original Star Wars movie before it was Star Wars
Boy, if I had a nickel for every time the Rock played a vaguely-Egyptian, superpowered immortal guy...
you'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@JTGallant three if you count The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King separately
Holy crap, what a great original joke ahaha!
@@JTGallant 4- if you count Welcome to the Jungle where he played an African american; who claim they were the actual Pharaohs and not egyptians
Got this movie as a random Christmas gift from a friend when I was 13. Made my entire family watch it on Christmas day and it did not go down well. But I absolutely loved it and watched the crap out of it.
I made my entire family watch Drive (2011) on Christmas Day and that similarly didn't go down too well.
Why didn’t it go down well?
@@zachtooill My uber Catholic grandparents and parents were less than enthusiastic about all the "pagan" (lots of random stuff was pagan and bad to them) shenanigans. And scantily clad women, presumably having premarital sex, was a big no. Basically my family were eh not normal lol
@@AngeloArkham ooff having family members who think everything is the devil is the worst, I feel you man
@@Jack-si2ig I love that movie
I think the best part about this movie is that The Rock had a hand in the production of the action scenes. To make it easier on the visual effects crew when removing the plant life and simulating the desert locale on the movie, Dwayne Johnson joined the crew in painting the plants blue. Which is why this movie was also known as Blue Harvest.
Edit: Oh good, James did end up doing it. I was worried there for a second.
very good
I'm new in this madness, what is the Blue Harvest joke context?
@@RutraNickersstar wars was initially called Blue Harvest, James just fucking loves mentioning it
@@RutraNickers because blue harvest was the working title for return of the Jedi not the original Star Wars. when they got it wrong people got annoyed so now he makes the joke to continue annoying people
Every single time you mention blue harvest I literally throw whatever I have in my hands at a violent pace into my wall, keep up the good work boys
This one felt like a Herc & Xena episode.
I remember being pretty excited about this one, because I liked The Rock and the flashback in The Mummy Comes Back made me think it was going to be some wild fantasy stuff with gods and monsters and whatnot. Instead, it's just the Rock VS a dude with a mullet.
'Rodney!' That was unexpected and outstanding!
I guess we're getting that every week now.
It was such a respite seeing all those calming, cool colours in the middle of the video full of harsh desert imagery. One may even call it a blue harvest
Camel facts needs to become a recurring segment presented by Mr. Wednesday Movies
I'd vote for the Rodney supercut myself
Agree. I genuinely laughed at the artist rendering. I think Rob Liefeld may have been the artist given the lack of feet.
It's not brought up a lot, but one of David Hayter's best performances is as Bernie Wiseman in "Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket". It was like, his third role, and he absolutely nailed it.
Brilliantly disguising himself as an Aussie Feddie soldier to infiltrate a base, who could ever forget
I love how this show has required previous viewings to understand some jokes it’s so great.
The Rodney Supercut kills me. I hope it stays a permanent part of the show
RODNEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY
I understand the “Rodney” supercut was from the Man-Thing video they did but the joke flew over my head in this video. I still laughed but I don’t know why it was in this video.
@@kramer9434 It felt like a genuine accident in this one, but it's a running gag now lol
The I Stand Alone joke was terribly underappreciated and way funnier than first thought.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that one.
Yes!
It caught me off guard, and I sat here debating if it was deliberate or not... but its too ridiculous to be a coincidence ... just well played
@@BloodSpiderX I could not have said it better myself...
Hoping the "RODNEY!" montage is another part you work into every episode of Caravan.
This was a huge childhood movie for me. I absolutely loved it. I wore out the VHS.
Same but Mummy Returns vhs lol
I didn’t think Mason caught the Godsmack “I Stand Alone” joke at 19:08 but I see he brought it back at the end of the video lol.
yeah I was ready to comment on how that couldn't be an accident, but waited until the video was done 😂
@@jamiemartin9322 man, as soon as I heard James say that part of the song and Nick not say anything about it I already had my fingers bout to type how’d he miss that! But I waited and said let me see what he does. And sure enough they brought it back lmao.
My favourite part of the Scorpion King is when his face goes all serious and then he looks straight into the camera and says 'I am the king of scorpions' and then a massive scorpion just comes out of nowhere, bows down to him and says 'your majesty'. 10/10
It's Scorpin Time!
Good thing he said “I am the king of scorpions” cause saying “I am the blue harvest” would be weird
One of my all time favorite movies. Hell, if I'm having trouble falling asleep, I've seen it so many times that I can easily fall pass out to it.
The original title of the Scorpion King was “Sand Harvest,” a direct homage to “Blue Harvest,” which was the working title of Star Wars. But they had to change it due to potential copywrite troubles with Lucasfilms
I didn't like the Scorpion King. It was coarse and rough and irritating.
Turns out the word Harvest is copyrighted by Lucasfilms. Also the title Wookie King for some reason. That's how they ended up with Scorpion King.
Watched it a bunch as a kid.
Thought his bow was so cool with only him being strong enough to draw it.
I think Chewbacca's crossbow thingy was like that, too. Then there's Guts' big honkin' sword from Berserk.
@@Robocopnik That sort of thing pops up in mythology - Odysseus in Greek myth had a bow only he could draw (allowing him to prove his identity and then arrow to death the guys trying to marry his wife), and I think Hindu mythology also has at least one "weapon only the hero can physically lift/use" as well.
I watched it only because of Kelly Hu
Haven't watched a caravan of garbage video in a while. I'm so glad the Green trivia and Blue Harvest facts are still coming. ❤️
Like the scene with the ants, like the scene with the sand caves, also the water slide scene, lots of fun scenes I wish were mentioned
I want them to cover literally all of the scorpion king sequels now
You know, this movie's whole desert themed environment nicknamed "blue harvest" was actually an old idea that the director of this movie used after seeing the original Blue Harvest screenplay, coincidentally named the same thing
I used to watch this movie with my dad on the weekends after he got off work, so it holds a special place in my heart also RIP Michael Clarke Duncan
speaking of brendon fraser, i recently watched george of the jungle again (one of my childhood classics) and it STRONGLY deserves a caravan of garbage !!!!!!!!!
He said that he would like to do another Mummy film.
11:46 is another great example of the excellent work the editors put in by having the sidekick mouth "sure" to Maso's "Sure". Almost at the same level of "He's still out there!!!" In one of the spiderman movie reviews (not sure which one)
Came here to say the same thing. The editor is a true master of his craft
Holy shit only these two could make “camel fun fact time” into endless entertainment
This movie is worth watching to me simply for the fact that it's an action movie where the Rock fights Alexander Anderson himself, while Michael Clarke Duncan is having the time of his life as he always was in these types of movies.
James makes a subtle I Stand Alone reference and then pays it off in the last seconds of the video. *chefs kiss*
This movie felt like a TV show pilot that they decided to make a movie. I absolutely loved it.
The sounds of the swords clashing in this movie is chefs kiss 💋
“I stand alone” godsmack soundtrack reference….. nice
This was one of my favorite movies ever as a kid. For years I'd throw stuff at my sister and tell her "catch this" like he does in the final battle
Also, I didn't realize this was a Mummy spinoff until I was a teenager but I can't even express the joy I had when I found out two of my all time favorite movies from childhood were set in the same universe
Classy af
On the other side of the coin, somewhere there's a girl obsessed with Overwatch constantly telling her brother to "nerf this" before farting on him
I like that they just said they probably won't do the scorpion king sequels, as if we wouldn't hound them to do the scorpion king sequels until they finally cave
Also, love the slow addition of bits, I can't wait for 3 years from now when the whole show is just non stop in-jokes and sounds like one of those noisemaker boxes they had for old radio, but made of in-jokes
I loved this movie as a little kid, i remember watching it everytime it came on TV. Still to this day this movie remains a shameless guilty pleasure for me.
The 'dude shouting Rodney ' super cut has made my day. I don't know why that's so funny but I'm glad it exists. Can't wait for next week. That movie is ridiculous and awesome all at the same time!
"I'm calling it an Auto-Gyro. I'm British" - Leonardo DaVinci
"Also I'm in the Middle East about 4,500 years before I was born, because I invented a time machine. I'd give you boys the secrets of gunpowder, ballistics, banking, double-entry book-keeping and the compass, but I can't risk erasing myself from the timeline and creating a paradox event. Toodle pip!"
We needed a juicy scorpion for The Rock to bite into in this movie
the rodney supercut will forever live in my heart
7:58 "Let this one go through to the keeper?"
Someone's getting ready for the T20 world cup by watching some test cricket? 😆
It's about time Camel Facts uploaded a new episode
A fun movie that isn't too complicated and has a lot of good actors including the lat Michael Clarke Duncan. I used to watch this as a kid and just found it to be adventurous and action packed, how movies are supposed to be!
I've watched the Mummy videos like 5 times each, how have I JUST discovered that you guys did The Scorpion King too?!!
I lowkey really like this movie, it's dumb as hell but it's got that 80s fantasy B movie vibe, just without the gratuitous nudity every 10 minutes.
Is it wrong that this is still one of my favorite Rock movies.
It's more wrong you have multiple favorite Rock movies.
Just kidding. I guess he is fine in stuff.
I am no Rock sycophant. However, my father was a body builder and grew shorter over the years. Muscles are heavy and compress the spine over time. The rock was most def taller back in his "skinny" days.
I saw this in theaters as a kid and was livid when he never once turned into a cgi scorpion monster for even a second
They did name drop camels in NOPE. They said that is why the family lost the horse contract for the film (but OJ still has the hoodie) because they decided to go with the far superior camels.
The inclusion of “Rodney!” Continues and it was perfectly placed!
Glad to see a Rodney compilation is in here, just as promised from last week. All we need now is that Snake Eyes review.
If the 1998 Drew Barrymore film "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" can shoehorn in Sir Leonardo da Vinci, then why couldn't the "Scorpion King"... or any film really?
The da Vinci-verse?
At 16:00 my eyes started glazing over with all the scorpion "the 'dwayne Johnson' Rock" king information.
It feels like I just walked into the living room of two mates talking and I love it
I saw this movie on DVD while it was still in cinemas when I was about 14, because my uncle had a friend who used to deal in pirating movies, and as a kid who liked watching movies and wasn't aware of pirating, I didn't ask questions. I also had a GameBoy Advance video game for it and remember loving it. I sunk hours into that game when I was younger.
How good was that GBA game! Great little platformer completed it so many times
@@Jack-si2ig Yeah I remember loving it, probably the game I played the most on my GBA that wasn't a Pokemon game lol
Why do I feel like you’ve reviewed this eight times already 😂😂
Being 5th form at a predominantly Pacific Islander college, this movie was ICONIC when it came out
3:10 The fact that that illustration exists to just happen to line up with Maso's comment is kind of miraculous, ngl.
Is it bad this actually made me want to watch the movie? Looks like an underrated gem 🤣
I've always thought this movie was super fun and campy, you should definitely give it a watch.
Nah, don't bother.
Do it! It's delicious trash.
It’s a better Mummy 3 than the actual mummy 3.
@@afroman255 That's painfully accurate.
According to Hurricane Helms, the phrase "Ha Coo Ma Shin Te" means that the Scorpion King has a tiny ding-a-ling.
Kelly Hu is in kotor 2 she voice the character Visas man I love her voice in that game.
To back up Mason, I first saw this when I was 13 and loved every second of it.
I love how over the course of so many years James and Mason have kept bringing up that leg lengthening surgery
So I usually see Blue Harvest coming from a mile away. But I want to say this one totally caught me off guard and I laughed pretty damn hard. So that joke is definitely not dead. But I acknowledge it’s gonna get harder to catch me with it. Great video. I enjoyed this one more than usual. I might be the only one who thinks that. I guess I stand alone. Hee-yuh!! Do do do-do
I love that Mason's off-hand comment about the Rodney supercut becoming a staple is actually being taken seriously.
I've been waiting for this ever since I seen these guys cover The Mummy franchise.
I remember there was a PE teacher from a school in South Africa my school was twinned with, he stayed with my family while visiting, and he said Scorpion King was his favourite movie ever, which surprised me a lot
Did you know Viggo Mortensen broke his toe kicking the helmet in LOTR?
They nicknamed his injury "The Blue Harvest"
My favorite part of the movie is when the Rock looks at the camera and says, "it's scorpin' time!"
The Green Trivia and also a Rodney Supercut (also known as GTAAARS) segment has come a long way since this show began, really shows the growth of the Sunday brand as a whole.
Subtley asking "Do I stand alone?" the absolute bastard
Barry working on the Scorpion King is the most insane revelation of the last hundred years.
Did you know that the original Arabic translation of the word Camel is "Blue Harvest"?
This movie is my number 1 guilty pleasure. I watched it so many fucking times as a kid
I tried to give it a chance but after watching it once I'll never go back to it, it's just not for me.
Same
@@bigkmoviesandgames You just have to abandon any idea of taking it seriously. Watch it like you’re watching a comedy, maybe take a shot whenever something ridiculous or funny happens
@@logandh2 that's just too much work
@@bigkmoviesandgamesFair enough, and also I just realized that drinking game would literally kill you
I like how the Green Trivia, Shouts Rodney, Blue Harvest segment is slowly devolving into a string of nonsequitors with no context that must seem to new viewers like total madness
I cand safely say I have watched this movie many times as a kid and I will say this is a movie I still remember many many lines from this movie and find myself repeating on occasion. Honestly Rock as more personally in his early movies than his more recent ones in my opinion
It's fantastic! You totally undersold it. The pageantry, the costumes. Wow! What a movie!
Honestly thought this movie was amazing and epic as a kid 😂
I have seen this movie 3 times between the ages of 5 and 7. The last time I watch this it was on cable and it was a marathon the first 4 of these and it ran between 7pm to 3am and I stayed up and watched every movie but could not tell you a thing from the last 3. (It was during summer which is why I was able to stay up and watch)
Scorpion King vs Scorpokon is still the greatest The Mummy franchise battle of all time, especially the part when they went "Scorp you, Scorphead!" and then scorped all over the pyramid while Brendan Frasier looked on with an acknowledging nod and a cheeky wink. 10/10 the best Blue Harvest ever harvested. That Dwayne Johnson fella should consider getting into some form of kayfabe sports entertainment.
I love how Caravan Of Garbage has evolved from talking about a movie, to just using a movie to talk about whatever.
It's great.
This was a pretty shit film, very early 2000s generic PG-13 action movie.
That should be a genre.
@@anubusx hell it basically was lol.
So we have a Blue Harvest reference AND Rodney Supercut to look forward to in every episode from now on.
Honestly didn't know there was more than one Scorpion King movie. To be fair, this was basically a feature length version of the Hercules/Xena TV series. Scorpion King could easily have existed in that universe without question.
my dad surprise brought us this vhs after work when i was 8yrs old so this is basically a masterpiece shut up james!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19:05 “it feels like I stand alone…” I think that was a reference to Godsmack to their song “stand alone.” Which they added the music video on dvd.
CANNOT BELIEVE MASON MISSED JAMESY BOY AWKWARDLY SHOEHORNING IN A REFERENCE TO THE GODSMACK SONG I STAND ALONE THAT FEATURED ON THIS MOVIES SOUNDTRACK AND HAD PARTS OF THE MOVIE IN THE MUSIC VIDEO! HOW DID HE MISS THAT! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A MAN HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
10:23 I didn't wake up this morning expecting to see a picture of James riding a camel. I still haven't, though, because that's a picture of Claire riding a camel and James holding on for dear life.
How did I forget about this movie, I must hve watched it atleast 10 times when I was a child
I enjoyed this a lot as a kid and the Michael Clarke Duncan vs Rock fight was awesome, one of the best Apocalypse vs Black Adam fights also RODNEY😂
My wife and i tried to watch Eraser three times over the years, only to wake up, having fallen asleep 10 minutes in every time…
Dude, I went on a Contiki tour through the UK, back in 2005! That was a blast. We had the coolest bus driver ever.
I was convinced I had never seen this movie, until watching the B roll and remembering every single scene of this movie, and remembering I loved this movie when I was younger
The ' I stand alone ' reference didn't go unnoticed James
The "Rod-neh" supercut caught me by surprise. I laughed out loud
19:04 - "Mason, now: do you feel like _I STAND ALONE_ in saying that this is okay?" ...was that a tongue in cheek Godsmack joke because of the soundtrack?
