I had an opportunity to be an extra in one of Stephen’s films back around 2009-2010 but already had plans to be out of town the weekend they were filming. I’m still sad about it. I’ve heard his style of directing referred to as “mach 5 filmmaking” because of the insane amount of footage he can pump out in just one day of shooting.

Groo is definitely one of my fav low-budget movie directors now. The Breen is number #1, but Groo has a great style too. Also, 2 for 1 special! I don't think we've ever had a double feature episode before. Really fun Halloween special, guys! :)
I am a fan of Yu-gi-oh and I gotta say that this is thoroughly inaccurate: At least five more people would be in comas from losin' at card games. Another awesome episode. Love ya guys! =D
It's sequels, though? Not so great. Especially the re-casting of Evelyn with Maria Bello with dark hair and a bad British accent. And the casting of their adult son who looked almost as old as Maria and Brendan. What the hell was THAT about? Jesus.
Gee, I actually liked the idea of 'The Gifted Ones' so much that I shelled out the two dollars for a rental. Absolutely worth it. I want him to remake it with all he has learned over the past two decades. Plus; Having Professor Xavier as a tall MILF teacher makes any movie automatically fantastic.
Watching a Stephen Groo “movie” gives me clarity as to why us Steve’s can never be taken seriously. 🤣🤣 Also, it’s always a good sign when the episode is longer than the media they are watching!
As an exmormon from Utah I can confirm that both "movies" were filmed in Utah, and used the Mormon churches for filming locations. Like that is totally the "gym"/activity room from the Mormon church.
The fact that you guys haven’t seen yu gi oh at all makes this soooooo hilarious. I watched the first season as a kid, so it’s so awesome hearing you guys talking about Yu Gi Oh basic concepts like “heart of the cards” just shows how hilariously stupid the show actually is. Also 48:17 😂😂😂 my thoughts exactly!
I am 100% convinced that the "training room" is in reality an overflow room/gym from a Mormon church. Also I'm 100% certain that in the second movie the building where they meet Mia is the University of Utah Office of General Counsel.
For this to truly rival the Unexpected Race episode, we need Utah Wolf Productions (Groo) to lambast Kyle and Bryan in the comments (again). You know you want to, Groo... Take them down a notch!
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 It's a bit late in the game but it's possible. Then again, his stubbornness is part of what makes his work unique and without that, we probably would've never heard of him.
The Safe Haven law, also known as the Baby Moses law, gives parents who are unable to care for their child a safe and legal choice to leave their infant with an employee at a designated safe place -- a hospital, freestanding emergency medical care facility, fire station, or emergency medical services (EMS) station.
If anyone is curious about the Thousand Dragon moment it's called a fusion summon which is where you can combine 2 or more monsters into 1. Here he fused Time Wizard and Baby Dragon which is what happened. Also, Duel Disks (the things on their arms) weren't introduced until the second series but they were released as toys so I don't know why they didn't just get a couple for filming this 😅
I don’t even remember the actual year the second season came out, and even when it did, Duel Disks weren’t sold right away. Was it before 2005? Because they said the movie was from 2005. And I admit to having every generation of Duel Disk all the way to DOMA. My Halloween costumes were always baller.
My favorite year of Halloween was dressing as the black spy in the Spy VS Spy parts of Mad Magazine! Hey it was funny as a kid and we had everything at home for it 🤣
This was on my list of videos to watch on Halloween, glad it's still up! I wish the Satan's Littler Helper episode was still up, that was one of my favorites. 🎃
Haven't watched the full video of Time to Duel yet, but from the clips you used, yes that's how the game is played. I don't recognize all of the card names, but Harpy's Feather Duster does indeed destroy all magic and trap cards on your opponent's side of the field, and everything that happens seems to make sense. The thing with characters explaining what the cards do is kind of necessary because it is a show based around a card game, and it's necessary for the viewer (and presumably the other player) to know what's going on. The reason why Kaiba doesn't use a fourth Blue Eyes White Dragon is because the rules limit players to a maximum of 3 copies of the same card in a deck. Edit: It's actually shocking how Groo appears to not have ever attempted a second take with dialogue. At 1:10:13, he actually says the line "none of the cards in my grandfather are cheap" and totally omits the word deck, and just left it in. In the same take, he mispronounces malevolent as "melovent."
I had that exact iPhone case in 2008 when I bought my iPhone 3G. Why wouldn’t they all enter the tournament? 200 bucks for a chance at 500,000, especially if they all enter, they just increased their odds tremendously.
54:16 the reason why the prize is so high but the entry fee is peanuts is because Kaiba, the guy who beats the shit out of the Grandpa, is looking for cool card for his collection, and in the actual show, they all go to his private island so he can steal their cards basically. He basically takes the tech his dad's company is making in order to do all the holographic weird 3d Tupac shit happen. He owns all the tech but doesn't own the actual rights to the game, which is owned by the villain of the first season arch. I forget what happens after that or why Kaiba can't get his dad to get Pegasus to run off a sheet of all the power cards his kid wants and is willing to pay like ridiculous money to get.
I played Joey in that Yu-Gi-Oh movie. Thanks for taking me down memory lane, haha. Also, I am pretty sure that the girl that played Mai Valentine is the same silver-haired girl in the previous movie. And Tea played Stephen's love interest in Unexpected race that dies.
Yugioh's Duel Monsters card game was based entirely off Magic. Takahasi was a big fan and Kaiba was inspired by a smarmy guy who belittled Takahasi's collection.
About the "very original" Yu-Gi-Oh! anime AKA "season 0": It was made by Toei Animation in 1998 and was, like the manga it was based off, a game/riddle-themed mystery series where Yugi gets possessed by Yami Yugi, who then challenges enemies into matches which are not always, but include card games. According to Yugipedia: "Manga plots were re-written so that they could take up an entire episode's [...] time, and the level of violence was reduced." Meaning, the manga is even wilder.
As a lifelong YuGiOh! Fan of 30 years old, I can tell you that 1. 4Kids dubbed like half of YuGiOh! To make it super dumb, but 2. The Heart of the Cards thing is outright super dumb, but as a kid, the concept of the Heart of the Cards and friendship beating everything the world throws at you was super cool and endearing and made the world not seem so sucky. As an adult it just sounds ridiculous, but the idea that your cards could hear your plea when Duel Monsters in the YuGiOh! World is like 99% Life-Or-Death made it like, IF YOU REALLY CARE AND PUT YOUR MIND TO IT, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! Also, from the clips I’m seeing, they have the series of events of the show waaaay out of order, they don’t meet Mai until they’re all IN THE TOURNAMENT to win Joey the money and actually they’re also there to get Yugi’s grandpa’s soul back but that’s a whole other Thing. On top of all of this, this movie uses actual, real-life YuGiOh card game rules from what I can tell. The show and manga? They literally make shit up 99% of the time. It’ll be, Yugi will just MAGICALLY pull a card that does EXACTLY what he needs it to at the last second despite us never seeing this card in his deck before. And it’ll do SUPER niche things that he couldn’t have POSSIBLY known were important to include in his deck for the opponent he’s facing, it’s hilarious. And one more: In real life, there’s like 8 million Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards, so nah, they ain’t rare, but in the series, there’s literally only 4 that have ever been printed, Seto Kaiba has 3 and Grandpa has 1, and he takes grandpa’s and tears it in half (AND NO SHIT GRANDPA TAPES IT BACK TOGETHER LATER, IM NOT JOKING IT MAKES A REAPPEARANCE!)
As goofy and often cringe as some of these Groo works are I have to give the guy(and his friends) credit for doing it with a straight face knowing people are gonna rip on it. It’s often hard to watch but, they are all in on these.
What's even funnier about the weirdness of Season 0 is that, even though people think it's extreme, it's *toned down* from the manga! In the manga, that dude burned for realsies and Yami was just straight-up killing people sometimes. In Season 0, the murders were toned down to delusions, to my disappointment. Yu-Gi-Oh started as a children's horror manga, which few fans seem to know!
Yeah it was wild. Even in the early stages when Duel Monsters was introduced, people were getting killed over this game. When Bandit Keith loses to Pegasus, his hand turned into a legit gun that shot him in the head against his will. And when Pegasus loses, the millenium eye just gets ripped out of his face lol.
Yeah *THAT’s* the most nonsensical part of that scene… Not the fact that a dude who can literally summon fireballs at-will, can’t think of a way to defend himself. So he simply lays down, let’s himself get totally shithoused and then watches them abduct/assault the chick he was _JUST_ using his fire powers to “warm up”!! 😂
About 06:49 Safe Haven Law in Nebraska was supposed to allow babies to b dropped off but it was written such that you could drop off kids under 18, in September of 2008 a guy dropped off his nine kids aged 1-17 at a hospital.
I'm listening to this while I'm driving, and the Yu-Gi-Oh segment is so on point to what happened in the anime, I was suddenly having PTSD flashbacks to being 12. (I'm 30 now lol)
I am so happy you've covered Stephen Groo again , I freaking adore his movies and I discovered them through this channel. I am being absolutley serious that The Unexpected Race is one of my favorite movies of all time, it's so ridiculous and fun. These movies feel like they've been written by a twelve year old, but that's not a bad thing to me, I find it really endearing.
(Former) YGO fan right here. I even had one of those arm things (for cosplay. I never actually played the game so I can't tell you if the rules are accurate in this movie). This Yu Gi Groo movie looks amazing. I laughed until I cried when the green wolf spat whatever that was from its mouth. 10/10, would recommend.
PLS somebody what is that super upbeat tune 58:10 and 1:00:07 and little bit more parts after that, in Time to Duel short , damn i need full track its stuck in my head PLS SOMEBODY help ...ps love this ep, hmm i am go to deep dive to rabbit hole Wolf Production .
@@romulusnuma116 I wish I could have that same lovely perspective, lol. I had to stop watching during the "duel" scene where they're sitting there at a fucking table just literally playing the card game in over-emphasized voices.
Hey guys, love the whole premise of your channel and love your reviews. Please keep 'em coming. And if you are looking for some suggestions, after watching your review of An American Hippie in Israel, I was reminded of a movie that was my reference for Worst Movie of All Time for many, many years. It's called "Riding Tall", directed by Patrick J. Murphy, released in 1972. It's terrible. Bad-bad. It's one of those where, at the end, I was just like, why? Was there even a point? Maybe you guys can figure it out... Thanks again for your fantastic content, I know that your channel is going to grow into something amazing.

Isn't that cheating the public's trust?
I gotta give Kaiba's actor credit, man is channeling the 4Kids cheese for all it's worth.
Dont know if you guys recognized the Weevil actor, but that is our cherished elf flute player from The Unexpected Race. I was fairly sure at first but what sealed it are those narrow narrow shoulders.

Outside of losing your soul from losing a card game, this Yugi-Oh movie has to be the best live action anime adaptation I've ever seen.

On top of all of this, this movie uses actual, real-life YuGiOh card game rules from what I can tell. The show and manga? They literally make shit up 99% of the time. It’ll be, Yugi will just MAGICALLY pull a card that does EXACTLY what he needs it to at the last second despite us never seeing this card in his deck before.

The Gifted Ones is literally just F-Men from the Amanda Show's Blockblister sketch lmao
The thugs that attack Fireboi tell him to get away from the girl as if they're worried he's assaulting her. Then they abduct her. That makes sense.
Yeah *THAT’s* the most nonsensical part of that scene…
Not the fact that a dude who can literally summon fireballs at-will, can’t think of a way to defend himself.
So he simply lays down, let’s himself get totally shithoused and then watches them abduct/assault the chick he was _JUST_ using his fire powers to “warm up”!! 😂
Points for the Mummy reference.
" in the meanwhile, your fucking Tyler, Tyler. So shut up." Is a sticker waiting to be made
Fireball attack
Best Halloween episode yet
This guy makes Neil Breen look like Spielberg
Dude the fact that you get that art makes me extremely jealous. So cool that you guy know each other!
I love these guys so much!!
You fell into my trap card Yugi!!
Damn, the red dude really went for it. Good for him, man
Can’t believe you guys didn’t notice Weevil was your favorite flute playing Elf! 🧝♂️ 😂
Tyler : "When do I get a code name??"
Omniman: "That's the neat part...You Don't."
Expectation: Yugioh anime
Reality: Groos Yugioh short film
I thought Netflix did the worst anime live adaptations, good work Groo! You're the best at least in something!
About 06:49 Safe Haven Law in Nebraska was supposed to allow babies to b dropped off but it was written such that you could drop off kids under 18, in September of 2008 a guy dropped off his nine kids aged 1-17 at a hospital.
I'm listening to this while I'm driving, and the Yu-Gi-Oh segment is so on point to what happened in the anime, I was suddenly having PTSD flashbacks to being 12. (I'm 30 now lol)
Oh, no, I just realized it's been almost 20 years. I'm having an existential crisis.
I am so happy you've covered Stephen Groo again , I freaking adore his movies and I discovered them through this channel. I am being absolutley serious that The Unexpected Race is one of my favorite movies of all time, it's so ridiculous and fun. These movies feel like they've been written by a twelve year old, but that's not a bad thing to me, I find it really endearing.
Bong ready.
Oh I'm going full beer bong and hitting the poppers for this one.
As a yugioh fan, I LOVE this episode.
I like Groo, but he always has the expression of someone pushing real hard to take a shit.
100% an LDS church. Not a Marriott lol
(Former) YGO fan right here. I even had one of those arm things (for cosplay. I never actually played the game so I can't tell you if the rules are accurate in this movie). This Yu Gi Groo movie looks amazing. I laughed until I cried when the green wolf spat whatever that was from its mouth. 10/10, would recommend.
I don't even know why; the duel disc was invented AFTER the duelist island arc.
but it's a harmless nitpick so whatever.
"Codename: Sonic."
I spat out my gummi worms
As edgy as Firewolf is, he seems to be giving his best in the performance lol. Also, his design is lowkey badass. 😎🔥
I want these two to watch episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh muted, and then try and explain them to us.
Speed Freak Streak! Yeah she’s fast but only cause of *THE SPEEEEED* 🤣
I live for these intros Fr
I lost it at the bursting pink sweater at 44:23
Edit: Nooo, he took the "movie" down. D:
Great costumes.
Shhhhhh don’t tell them that Yugioh started out as a Manga that the anime is based off the sequel Yugioh Duelist
And don’t tell them Yu-gi-oh used to involve other games not just cards games.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 almost forgot. Love the money one
@@quinnzykir I’m a fan of the digital pet, the capsule monster chess one and the food roulette wheel with Mokuba.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 man I loved the dice one. Had the set but lost it over the years

How did you sit through it? Genuine question. I was cringing so hard my face fell off.
@@Jabadamazo It was kind of endearing see those nerds just make a live actions version of a thing they liked
@@romulusnuma116 I wish I could have that same lovely perspective, lol. I had to stop watching during the "duel" scene where they're sitting there at a fucking table just literally playing the card game in over-emphasized voices.
"time to turn off the lights!" LMFAO!!!!
Hey guys, love the whole premise of your channel and love your reviews. Please keep 'em coming. And if you are looking for some suggestions, after watching your review of An American Hippie in Israel, I was reminded of a movie that was my reference for Worst Movie of All Time for many, many years. It's called "Riding Tall", directed by Patrick J. Murphy, released in 1972. It's terrible. Bad-bad. It's one of those where, at the end, I was just like, why? Was there even a point? Maybe you guys can figure it out... Thanks again for your fantastic content, I know that your channel is going to grow into something amazing.
If by bad you mean the best movie I’ve ever seen. Yes “Time to Duel” is bad.
