Film Brain continues his Happy Madison Month by wandering into a comedic wilderness that even certain substances won’t be able to make you laugh at - not that he’s speaking from experience, mind… Season 5.

This episode was originally posted in July 2013, and was the second episode of Happy Madison Month. This new version runs a whopping 3m 10s shorter than it's original version, and much of that is because this has been extensively re-edited: I still had all the source files for this review, so I re-cut it directly from the source, and the changes here are extensive:
- *New* voiceover for the entire review. This was the major reason for the re-edit. This was again part of my "angry" phase, and I was way overdoing it at this point, and it shows how much it was dragging out the episodes, because these new versions of the same lines shortened review considerably.
- Alternate takes throughout of on-camera footage. This was done to bring them more in-line with the new narration, and bring them more into my normal speaking range and tone it down.
- Now in HD! The DailyMotion re-post was also in HD, but the very first Blip post was 360p
- Film source remastered: because I was remastering the video in HD, I re-encoded the DVD footage to a higher quality anamorphic version. Unfortunately, this threw the edits out because the older version must have dropped frames, so I had to totally re-edit the entire review.
So there you have it, an old review but almost completely re-done from practically scratch. Obviously I'm not going to go to these lengths for every episode, but I didn't want to put it back up the way it was. This review has never looked and sounded better, so I hope you enjoy!
I actually liked your angry phase particularly because you were doing it on movies that really deserved it, but I understand why others didn't and it was putting strain on your voice. This is still one of my favorite reviews that you've ever done. I loved your jokes and lines. This is the year when I really started enjoying Bad Movie Beatdown.
Film Brain I liked the angry stuff, but I admire the effort you put into remastering this! 😀
Film Brain one day you going to get that filty animal
INTERMISSION
Matthew, me and many of your fans really appreciate that you re-upload these old BMB episodes. It's also delightful to see that you improve and make significant changes for the audience's convenience, it shows that you're always willing to strive for quality work and by doing so, you make these terrible, terrible movies palletabe for the lucky souls who didn't watch them. My deepest respects for you and your lost nerves back then in Happy Madison month, it mustn't have been easy. Kind regards from Germany!
As a long time fan you should cut yourself a little more slack. I know how difficult/cringy it is to watch old videos of yourself (especially after you've increased your professionalism). You're pretty harsh on yourself, and I find it unnecessary. While your older work is less refined than you are now it still holds up in the comedy and critical departments. I really love what you do and want you to be as proud and impressed with it as I am. :D
Mr. Zahn, I have only two words to say to you for starring in this film: Bad Ape!
Story-time: a couple days ago I saw someone on a site I go to talking about War for the Planet of the Apes, and one of the things he said about it was "Steve Zahn is really good here, but he'll never be as good as he was in Strange Wilderness!"
I know people have different opinions and that's fine, but... seriously? For real?
I think he was kidding
MrAspiringactor Ah, the internet, where being sarcastic doesn't often work out; especially when it's spelt.
Bill Tenth Amen.
27:24-27:34 Can be applied to Happy Madison as a whole.
Or Fox.
24:13 It looks like you're ranting to your After Earth poster. Jaden Smith can't save you now, Mathew.
Film Brain: "Oh After Earth poster you're the only one who truly understands me"
@@TheSkully343 ugh.... Don't remind me of that pigsty of a film.
This movie's now sorta funnier now that you remember that Jason Long would voice Spyro The Dragon in the Skylanders animated series.
Justin*
24:04 Oh, how I LOVE it when Film Brain gets THAT pissed off! 🤣
You know what would have been funny? If Mrs. Bigfoot came out of the cave, saw that the humans shot her husband and calls the sasquath police, the humans are arrested and have to go to sasquath court. 100 points to anyone who gets the reference.
That sounds like the plot of an early Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode.
It was also in a Rick and Morty episode, but with giants instead of sasquatches.
Michael Sanford, you get 100 points!
I'M MR MESEEKS LOOK AT ME
I feel like this idea had potential as a series of shorts on UA-cam. But it really doesn't suit a feature film, does it?
Yeah, that's what Mathew said.
Fun fact: that kid in the turkey scene is Adam from Supernatural.
Not that fun of a fact, but still more fun than anything in this movie.
9:44 The Three Stooges did that gag first. Look up Horses' Collars (1935) and Slaphappy Sleuths (1950).
Miss these types of angry reviews, Matthew did them right!! All bad movie beatdowns are just freaking classics xD
Never laughed so hard at 24:01 😂 that reaction xD
Yep, that's funny
Why did Mermaid Man have to be in this shit? And also R.I.P.
22:30
Do they ever explain how they caught ALL the fish without rods or anything. I cant even catch my gold fish with a net MADE to catch fish.
I even read that a guy who worked on the film blamed it's failure on the financial crisis that year.
I'm really glad this one was remastered, it's one of my favorites of yours.
>When The Marine used Robert Patrick with more dignity.
Must've had a mortgage to pay off... Hope it was worth it dude.
You'd think the T-1000 would be a lot more smarter.
Wayne's World used Robert Patrick with more dignity
They wasted that terminator joke in the marine bc they did it to early in the film,he just started chasing them when they said that line when it would have alot more sense later in the film.
It’s surreal how I can see Steven Zahn in this movie… and then remembering he showed up in Righteous Gemstone. He was actually really good in that then in this movie.
'Piranhas don't care about you, duck!' XD
Good work Mathew!
Is it wrong that I laugh at the anti-climax of them killing big foot, & then faking his suicide?
Honestly, it's funny in a vacuum. When it comes to the film it's in however, it's a complete middle finger.
not gonna lie. i bout died of laughter when they opened a volley of gunfire on big foot. i really wasnt expecting that
😁😀 call me crazy but I found the shark laughing part hysterical. . . !!!
Probably the best part of the movie.
Post-movie SpongeBob SquarePants was giving Ernest more dignity than this.
If it weren't for Adam Sandler, I'm sure Fred Wolf would have been blacklisted, because he is a terrible writer. It's unfortunate that just because someone was a part of something big, in his case Saturday Night Live, he still gets to find work. One of the many reasons I hate Hollywood and the entertainment industry.
Film brain: nice continuity guys
Phelous: great cotanunity
I guess I'm in the minority for this movie because I fucking loved it, I thought it was hilarious and I was laughing the whole time. Sure the movie has some dumb and immature parts and it isn't going to be cracking any top 100 films lists, but as a straight up stoner comedy it fucking delivers the laughs. Grandma's boy was always one of my favorite dumb comedy movies so I got excited when Strange Wilderness was released. I got super stoned and went and rented it from Blockbuster, which was still popular and was like my favorite place to go on Friday to rent all the new movies and games for the weekend. So I smoked a fat ass blunt and popped Strange Wilderness in, and by the end of the movie my stomach and cheeks were so fucking sore from laughing, and I ended up watching it like 2 or 3 more times that weekend. I know it's not a great movie, but it wasn't made to make people think or to deliver some kind of message, it was made to make people laugh their ass off, and in that regard it fucking delivered. Justin Long killed it in that movie, he was so fucking funny, and so was Steve Zahn. Like I said, it's not some epic or great movie, and it has its flaws (a lot of them) and can be really stupid at points, but if you smoke some weed and put it on you are bound to laugh your ass off a couple of times throughout it.
SinCity Sinner I agree ❤️
Yeah i don't know what the fuck everyone else is on, this was one of the few good happy Madison movies along with grandmas boy.
I agree. I absolutely Fokken loved it, and I don't even smoke weed.
I suppose that claiming Bipolar Disorder at that point doesn't tend to hurt, in general.
I don’t care what people say, Saving Silverman is hilarious!
So is National Security
I think this is too!
Also, Robert Patrick, WHY?!?! You're the T-1000, man, show some goddamn dignity!
D Vass ik. At least he moved on to better things.
His brother is a very good singer btw,he is the lead singer of filter.
I wonder why he usually bleeps the F-BOMB but every once in a while I hear one.
Definitely no big deal to me! I laugh either way 😅
Just curious as I’m binge watching the Bad Movie Beatdown playlist.
BUSHWHACKED!
Brother Malachai Doyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
A bad movie beatdown review I hadn't seen! This is a good day! 😀
Love this movie!!
23:57 where did those guns come from?
I had no idea Adam started on TV😅
Strange Wilderness is one of those movies you rent from the video store one night, you laugh your ass off, return it, and then instantly forget and never think about again. My family and I died laughing at the shark laugh scene, rewinding it multiple times, but as you said, Mathew, it's the only good thing anyone remembers from it. When judged as a real movie, yeah, Strange Wilderness is of course terrible. Par for the course for most Happy Madison films, sadly, although I'd still watch this over Bucky Larson, Jack and Jill, or God help you, The Wrong Missy.
It's good to know that most of the cast would go on to much better things, especially Jonah Hill but dear God, was this shit. This ranks up there with Freddy Got Fingered with its anti-humor.
Freddy Got Fingered was supposed to be anti-humor and was almost artistic in doing so. This movie just fails miserably at whatever it was trying to do. Both movies are terrible, but in different ways.
Headbanger142 indeed. Zahn recently brought to life perhaps my favorite ape in the Planet of the Apes trilogy (next to Caesar, that is)
Freddy got fingered is actually a really good movie, you just have to watch it with the right mindset - it isn't Tom Green doing his usual routine - it's him doing it while also giving a giant middle finger to the company that paid him to make a movie in the first place.
Watch it with that in mind - you'll see all the obvious in-jokes about how somebody just gave him 1,000,000 $, and it's gone pretty much instantly with nothing to show for it.
also, the middle finger thing is literal - watch the opening scene in the restaurant , a guy there has an arm cast that is making him literally flip the bird to the audience.
@Temmie Plays that’s amazing, wow, not sure i will but ill think on it
Temmie Plays! It’s a shit comedy film there’s nothing good about it
Those have got to be the worst in half effects ever. Tom Savini is shaking his head in shame.
He prefers "sex machine"instead of tom
" i dare my comedy to waste my time by being funny"i bet this guy is the life of the party and is so much fun to hangout with.
Well, it certainly is a strange movie alright...
You know what I find stranger? This was the only Independent Happy Madison movie that was a theatrical release. Yeah, we do have the Netflix Happy Madison movies, but Strange Wilderness was the only independent Happy Madison movie of the entire company's history. I think I was a smart move that Fox didn't pick this up for distribution... It's THAT bad!
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives Maybe it's because it didn't star Adam Sandler. There's Jonah Hill, but this was filmed before he became a star. Some of the other actors are famous, but they're not the kind of stars whose names alone can sell tickets.
WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!!!!! TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO THOUGHT SAVING SILVERMAN WAS HILARIOUS??? Im with you on all these other films...but saving silverman cracked me the fuck up " I WANNA PARTY WITH YOU NEIL, I WANNA PARTY WITH YOU...."
@5:23 As of this posting Jonah Hill is not an Academy Award winner...though with more "future" remaining this video's statement may yet become true.
Huh, I don't even remember this. Maybe I missed it back in 2013. Thanks - honestly I never heard of this one before!
Swift Nimblefoot I do. I remember seeing trailers for Strange Wilderness... I didn't know that this would be THAT terrible... And yes I do remember the laughing shark bit in the trailer.
Future academy award nominee Jonah hill
...and also Ernest Borgnine looks Darn good for his 90s! 😮😊
I honestly found this movie hilarious! Wtf I was just curious to see what other people thought of it but dam, and by the way Saving Silverman was also hilarious! And I don't smoke weed... never listen to rotten tomatoes when it comes to what makes you laugh! I would hate to watch a movie with this sarcastic fucken guy.
Ill always dream of a BMB episode on BvS
When will you do a a new Beatdown?
It took me a while to realize that that was the dad from diary of a wimpy kid.
Will your other Happy Madison reviews like Chuck and Larry and Just Go With It be reworked and reposted?
I don't appear to have the original files for Chuck and Larry, but I do for Just Go With It and Jack & Jill. I'll probably rework those when I do a new Sandler review (which I have plans to do).
I recall you mentioning you have plans to review The Cobbler. My mom and I saw that because we really like the director, Tom McCarthy's previous movies like Win Win, The Station Agent, and The Visitor. We walked out after a certain point so I never saw how it ended but I can't imagine it redeemed itself.
The Cobbler manages to get worse and worse as it progresses, which is a remarkable accomplishment. It ends by revealing itself as a stealth superhero film. That's not a joke.
....I...Words fail me...What can I even say to that?
This is even more low-brow than a Family Guy special. :/
And yet _Family Guy_ is still the most awful, stupid garbage anyone could ever experience.
@@JanetStarChild nowadays, it treats everyone like an idiot.
@@scottylewis8124
It was a stupid show for stupid people, right from the beginning; Let's not pretend it had any class.
@@JanetStarChild having sex appeal doesn't make it naughty Fox, it just means you're a pervy bastard!
@@JanetStarChild #CancelFox
Another brilliant entertaining bad movie beat down, Mathew your legendary status fella. 😂
5:22 Future Academy Award winner Jonah Hill?
well it is a Happy Madison production, stupid and immature is a staple.
Shiirow Yeah but there’s a limit. And there’s a wrong way to do stupid and immature
I think Justin Long was stoned in this film because he realised he was in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie...
And he tried to get out of it but failed
show chuck and larry review next
I know this is a shit movie, but I still like it.
Yurr Whatchamacallit Nothing wrong with having a guilty pleasure movie, mine is Joe Dirt.
The funniest movie I've watched this year and have to recommend is 'TipToes' starring Gary Oldman & Matthew Mcconaughey
I don't understand why they didn't shoot Bigfoot when he went to try and attack them.
So, Adam Sandler Month consists of 1 Happy Madison movie review?
There was 4 during the month in 2013: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, this, Just Go With It, and Jack & Jill. I just haven't reposted the others yet. (This was redone because it vaguely ties into War for the Planet of the Apes, also with Steve Zahn.)
When are u going to review after earth, I mean u have it hanging in the background.
Review master of the disguise
This movie is amazing!:D
Hi Matthew can review on bad movie beatdown the righteous kill
This movie is bad but it's a guilty pleasure of mine because I really think it's freakin hilarious
I do t give a fuck what anyone says this movie was fucking hilarious for its time
Ok thank you!!!
I agree
I still feel bad for killing bigfoot in red dead redemption all these years later.
This actually shows why Master of Disguise, as shit as that was, was a better film.
Having only seen the NC review there is an interview scene in that movie very similar to this one, and while not very funny it is actually TRYING to be funny and intended to make people laugh.
I liked the angry film brain but every person matured.
Really mermaid man?
I think this was meant to be a parody of Amazon cannibal movies like Cannibal Holocaust, but it misses the mark widely. Also, it's pretty obvious that Bigfoot's cave is Bronson Canyon, where hundreds of low-budget movies have been shot. I imagine that was a deliberate in-joke.
I didn't think that this movie was all that bad, strange.
Dirk Jewitt It’s pretty shitty.
I know its stupid, but I laughed my ass off when they killed bigfoot and tryed to make it look like a suicide. Guilty pleasure I guess. Its the only time I laughed at this movie, but it did make me laugh.
For the records. Is same fred wolf with Tmnt. Is other fred wolf
I love this movie. Strange Wilderness and Grandma's Boy are 2 must watch movies for all stoners. You WILL laugh. Some people just don't get it.
Matt Clayton Non stoners you mean? Yeah, we’re SO outta touch. 🙄
Daddy day care is not that bad
Joe Don Baker!!
It's meant ti be bad, none dispute that. Asking this movie to be good is like expecting a t-baller to hit a ball over the fence. Nobody expected that much from them.
13:23
Great movie !
Best movies for pure laughs are freddy got fingered, strange wilderness, porky's, and pink flamingos.... movies may include what the fuck moments.
Honestly bro, I love this movie. I think it was meant to be an intentional "we don't give a fuck" comedy where the actors are there to just act goofy and do/say random shit(Like "Wet Hot American Summer"-however I really don't like that movie and really confused why it has such a big following). While I agree with you on every issue you have with this, like lack of continuity, was sort of the point. And I thought Jonah Hill was hysterical in this. "They're gonna think I'm some sort of PREHISTORIC GENTLEMAN BIRD". I died at that line. The fact that they end with a blooper is sort of hysterically genius to me, and most of the clips you show are funny to me(except the mexican voice/the turkey deep throat scene). I'm truly sorry, maybe I'm a moron.
No, you're not. Just because you have a different opinion to mine doesn't mean it's invalid. If you like it, then fair play to you.
MrGMovieReviews I thought it was a bit amusing too. Lots of problems but I laughed.
Film Brain Amen. No one should devalue one's opinion just because. I hate how toxic the internet has become.
no it sucks. every time it came on comedy central I was like ugh, shitty 90 minutes coming up. then again, it was a time in my life when I relied entirely too much on tv to be happy
You're not a moron. Comedy is subjective, so we all find different things funny. However, comedy is also an art form that's judged based on how much effort is displayed. Remember: People are meant to *pay money* to see this, so you shouldn't defend its laziness.
Hey Matthew, what do you mean by “Token hot female to be lusted after”? Is it referring to the lack of actual wit or depth, she’s just the “hot one”, or anything else?
Yes, that she is literally there to be eye candy desired over by the rest of the cast, and not given anything funny to do.
@@FilmBrain Oh, it’s the equivalent of the sexy lamp in writing, could the writers at least made the woman to be a straight woman to contrast the idiocy of those around them, at least it would be funny and give her character more to do.
At least that Shark teeth thing was kinda funny
Thanks for introducing me to this movie, Matt. I just saw it with my dad, and we both loved it!
It's not a good movie but it has a few good laughs so I'm extremely surprised it's got a zero percent rating it should be at least a 20 percent or so.
Truly a bad comedy film I've seen but this review just lighten up my day. xD
Weird thing is i smoke pot and i don't find thins funny often stoners are exggerated. Also a try shame to see steve zahn in this wish since he is a very good actor. Also have a bit if a crush on steve so it pains me to see him in this.
Justic Long looks like Cr1t1kal.
How in the WORLD did they get THAT CAST! 😵😱😲
Cliff Huxtable I assume it included Blackmail, Bribes and Called-In Favors.
Joe don baker Is in this,great actor his role as sheriff buford pusser is one of my favourite roles he has played
Ok I did not remember this film until the laughing shark bit...
I don't know where these lame shit on other peoples work lists come from but Strange wilderness and Joe Dirt are hilarious movies. People like to jump on band wagons and just say shit is bad without giving them a chance.
This movie sucked balls. It literally gave me a brain damage. None of the characters were likeable. It's a shame cuz I have liked the works of these actors before.
I'm sorry for your brain
Was it your commentary or my low IQ that made this funny?
12:42 rethinking his life choices for being in the movie
I’m not a huge fan of Adam Sandler , I just think his movies are just stupid.
13:47 What The Actual F@#$
Your guess is as good as mine.
This was actually a good movie. I liked it.
me too
I love that movie!!! Because it’s stupid, but had it’s moments. I love those moments!
This the opposite of a bad movie
