The movie sucked but I'll admit the McDonald's toy was really cool. I got mine at a flea market with all the parts and it was the coolest toy to have. That would've never come out today the way it is.
Me too, but only because I liked the cartoon. I knew this was nothing like the show, aggressively so at times, but my thought process was "Well, it's _an_ Inspector Gadget movie, even if it's not the one I wanted, so... I _guess_ I like it?"
Everything about this movie's marketing was so great to me as a kid--the theme song playing on Disney Channel, the Gadget toy you put together at McDonald's, the poster with the big mechanical "G"--and yet the actual movie couldn’t possibly live up to it.
I agree Jess Disney definitely did a great job marketing this movie despite not doing much marketing for DiC’s previous live action film with Disney “Meet The Deedles” with the most common trailer appearing on many Disney VHS’ at the time, extensive behind the scenes footage including a whole Movie Surfers episode thats included on the DVD, and of course one of the greatest Happy Meal toys ever conceived. So it showed Disney definitely cared about the movie… just not behind the scenes. 😈

I can't lie, I was a kid when this came out and all the kids at my school went nuts for it. We all liked the cartoon and thought it was awesome that there was gonna be a live action Inspector Gadget movie.
I know exactly what you mean. Just like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! We all love the cartoons so much and when 1990s had that Jim Hansen muppet movie of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we were all excited! I was a junior high school kid in the 7th grade.
@@PlusUltraAdrian In the meanwhile, Matthew Broderick haven't made a single Emmy award winning blockbuster ever since this film and Robert Emmerich's Godzilla.
Some people dont even realize that Matthew Broderick had on a very similar inspector gadget outfit, when he was standing by the car in the 80s film Ferris Bueller's Day Off 🚗🕵🏻♂️ 🏫
Penny Gadget, the original American Ninja: she waits until her uncle's back is turned, solves the crime, and creates a domino trail of destruction that ends with the villain being catapulted right at Gadget's feet. Done so expertly that even the Inspector thought he did it. No wonder in the movie, Penny was bewildered that she was sidelined for the finale.
Father receives electric shock therapy to his heart. Brenda:"Oh-no! Father's dead!" John is blown to bits in car explosion. Brenda:"I can bring him back with technological science!"
Took me awhile to realize the voice actor for Dr Claw and the dog Brain was Frank Welker ( Megatron, Soundwave in Transformers, Fred in Scooby-Doo, Ray Stantz in Real Ghostbusters) the voice actor for Inspector Gadget was Don Adams ( Maxwell Smart in Get Smart, Check it out) and finally the voice actor for Penny was Cree Summer, the cool light skinned girl from the TV show A Different World.
I love the fan theory that says that Dr Claw was the original Inspector Gadget that was injured and driven mad when he came back and saw he was replaced
So happy you guys are reviewing this. This is the first movie that I worked on when I lived in Pittsburgh. I was a production assistant, location, scout catering you name it. Boy, it really sucked though not gonna lie.
@@volkswag12 1. Got to dive the director David Kellogg’s to a cover set on my second day working.. a set I found myself.. not only did he like it and use it he gave me his number to call if I was ever in Hollywood 2. Spent an entire 2 days on the bridge where they had the big gadget v gadget fight… also did a day where they flew helicopters through downtown Pittsburgh 50 feet off the ground 3. Spent a day entertaining Jolie fishers double/ stand in all day - she was really seeet 3. Protected the super powered gadget mobile at gadgets house for a day to make sure no one took pictures.. there was a crowd and Mathew Broderick walked by.. a lady yelled out” doesn’t Ferris beuller ever get a day off”… he stopped what he was doing, turned around and smiled” that’s new I’ve never heard that “ and laughed.. 4. One of the days they were flying the helicopter’s low, there was a children’s performance going on in the alley of a playhouse that no one knew about, that was indicatly in the path of the choppers- they still had to stop the performance several times but they they brought Broderick over to hang out with the people there- he was freaky a nice guy and very professional
@Wyatt Powers this is fascinating. I'm in the process of trying to piece back together the original test screening cut of the movie - and would love to hear more about the production of the movie since so little of it has ever been shared/found.
@@SlayerSantiago oh wow that awesome- I’d love to see that cut.. I was just in Pittsburgh last year and one of my film friends gave me the script to it. It’s got at least six or seven different colors for the different rewrites. They change so much. Let me know if there’s what type of info you want and I can contact the people that I worked with and get there stories as well
I watched the cartoon religiously before they released the movie. I remember loving this movie so much as kid, that I had it on VHS tape. I watched it countless times. The theme song for the soundtrack by Youngstown was my jam, too!
@@brandonspain12345 You’re right, but I was thinking this movie has man getting cartoony super powers and the big teeth evil gadget had just gave me mask vibes
I loved this film as a kid. I always found myself jamming out to that song in the end credits. But I'd say the sequel was closer to the vibe of the show and characters than this movie did
The part where Billy is talking about @52:23 is still in the film. It's where the Gadget Mobile is talking about how John had the hots for Brenda. There was the hand scene and then after that was the rocket and him blowing up a car.
I do actually like this film. It's fun, goofy, over the top with over acting an I kinda love it 🙂 I do see the flaws in this film but I still like it 🙂
I don't know what's more insulting: That some people believe you would stoop so low to this film's sense of humor, or that you'd actually defend this movie. 💀
@@brandonspain12345 Everyone has a right to their own opinion. We all have a right to like an dislike whatever films we watch. In my opinion, I like the film. To each their own.

Exactly! The ones that always make me laugh instantly even before I click on them are the thumbnails for Samurai Cop, Miami Connection, Wicker Man, Ghost Rider 2, and Donkey Kong! 😂
It’s mind blowing to how the DT channel still only have under 300k subs. These guys are so AWESOME and HILARIOUS ! They deserve at least 1 million+ subs by now. SMH…
Poor little dog 😭 11:34 Eww lmao 🤢 14:01 The drugs are kicking in 🥴 15:08 Father we talked about this 😂 19:26 Zack Snyder if he directed inspector gadget 25:54 That definitely had to hurt 👀 26:46 Oh my Andy... 😭🤦🏾♂️ 33:18 Inspector gadget like booty 🍑🙈 36:14 Inspector gadget had to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen, felt so bad for Matthew Broderick 😩🤦🏾♂️ But at least the theme music was good.
I just watched Inspector Gadget and Inspector Gadget 2. Inspector Gadget 2 was the better movie. I’m guessing it was direct to DVD, but it was so much more faithful to the cartoon. On top of that the story was just so much better. French Stewart was a much better Inspecte Gadget than Matthew Broderick. Penny and Brain were saving the day. Even the gadgets looked better on the much smaller budget.
In the 90s, cartoon-to-live action was the big thing, I think it started with The FLINSTONES movie and carried on with Casper and George of the Jungle. I think Scooby Doo was the last of them.
This adaptation is a personal punching-bag of mine. It's an anomaly. It gets every element of the original cartoon wrong in order to make it more conventional. And it still confuses me why Disney thought this cartoon deserved an adaptation to the big screen in the first place. Like, they had a dozen of their own properties and shows they could have adapted. They could have done the same thing with Darkwing Duck, maybe Gargoyles. But no, they got the rights to a DiC series produced in Canada.
This was a great movie as a kid. Everything from Inspector Gadget crossing the street the LONG way to save those kids to Robo Brenda and her fun, dumb ass😭 It was great. I still can’t dislike this. It was silly, but we LOVED it as kids. Hil-ARIOUS. grab the balls!!!!🤣
When I tell you I loved this movie so much as a kid! DL Hughley as the Gadget Mobile, the thing had a Skittle dispenser, Penny playing therapist to one of Claw's goons, evil Gadget with the cartoonish dentures, etc. haha classic!
It makes sense when you realize the same dude that produced the inspector gadget theme song is the same person that produced the power rangers theme song.
Did everyone forget or not know that in the credits, there is an extended scene about "Minions Anonymous" including Richard Kiel (Jaws from James Bond), Mr. T, and others in the audience.
27:35 Also they’re’s a very subtle three stooges reference. It’s very faint, but you can hear a nurse at the intercom saying “Paging Dr Howard, Dr Fine, and Dr Howard.”
Never understood why this was made. The cartoon had wrapped by the mid 80’s, and no one was clamoring for more. Also, this is not a property meant for live-action. It worked as a cartoon, and it worked quite well. But, there simply is no way a live-action film could ever hope to compete with the original. It’d be akin to doing a live-action Mickey Mouse or Looney Tunes movie. And yet, somehow, the Inspector Gadget movie got a DTV sequel.
The initial concept of this movie was going to be much darker - almost on the same level as The Mask with Jim Carrey. Disney insisted on producing a more toyetic kids movie. For example, the Batmobile would have made a cameo and there was an entire subplot involving household appliances being transformed by Scolex to having animalistic behaviors.
I used to love this movie, and watched it recently on Disney Plus on a lazy night in, and that joke with the Japanese fella in the Godzilla scene has been cut out!
Man when I was a kid I loved the Inspector Gadget Cartoon. I still miss Don Adams RIP. When this movie came out I had my mom take me to see it in the theaters. TO THIS DAY…. I still apologize to her to taking me and sitting through this Trash movie. Even when I was 12 Years old. I knew this wasn’t good. But I say GOT DAMN Joely Fisher was Hot!
Had this video come out 10 years sgo, everyone would all agree that this movie is terrible and ruined everything. After seeing the comments, it seems people have come around on this film. Which is CRAZY! It is mid at best. However, what that essentially means is that this movie is now... 🥳 *OFFICIALLY NOSTALGIC!* 🎉 Sorry, no need to say there's anything wrong with this bad boy anymore because it officially entered the realm of the rose goggles called "_nostalgia._" A mysterious void where media goes from questionable, to a bonafide work of flawless art once a new bad sequel or reboot comes out. (Time is the key ingredient to achieve that ultra nostalgia center in your head. I'm no doctor, but there's a reason we keep rehashing ideas over and over. For the rest of time. Enjoy the ride.) Now sure, we all have that media we cling onto to remind that innocent time from our youth. But no matter what decade satisfies that sentimental stretch... Inspector Gadget '99 still SUCKS. 😂
18:34 You couldn't cut out that lagging? 20:54 Another thing you couldn't edit out? 43:56 Oddly Eddie Murphy was considered for the role of Timon so he did in fact (almost) play Matthew Broderick's sassy Black sidekick in another Disney movie 47:55 There was also a Godzilla reference in another Matthew Broderick movie, Addicted to Love; surprisingly there aren't any Godzilla references in Ferris Bueller or The Lion King
Based on the amount of fondness people have for this movie in the comments, this should have been a Retro Review. This movie does not the deserve the "Bad Movie Roast", treatment...the sequel does.
Loved this movie as a kid. My dad used to let me watch the cartoon. I don't think this was suppoed to be that great. It was aimed at children. Inspector Gadget 2 with French Stewart was actually more accurate to the OG cartoon.
Kids will never understand the MERCHANDISE that went into the promo for movies like this.
The movie sucked but I'll admit the McDonald's toy was really cool. I got mine at a flea market with all the parts and it was the coolest toy to have. That would've never come out today the way it is.
@@brandonspain12345 Aww man. Memories. That buildable Inspector Gadget from Mickey Ds was Thee Shit back in the day

Hey I feel you. This was my shit as a kid. The effects are the only things that aged well.

Don't forget about the macguffin
Father receives electric shock therapy to his heart. Brenda:"Oh-no! Father's dead!" John is blown to bits in car explosion. Brenda:"I can bring him back with technological science!"
Inspector Gadget driving is the most morbid thing in Hollywood since 1998's Godzilla with Tatopalas driving.
Took me awhile to realize the voice actor for Dr Claw and the dog Brain was Frank Welker ( Megatron, Soundwave in Transformers, Fred in Scooby-Doo, Ray Stantz in Real Ghostbusters) the voice actor for Inspector Gadget was Don Adams ( Maxwell Smart in Get Smart, Check it out) and finally the voice actor for Penny was Cree Summer, the cool light skinned girl from the TV show A Different World.

Scooby Doo was one of the last. I think that honor has to go to Disney's Underdog and 20th Century Fox's Alvin and the Chipmunks.
He did with the dog infront of the bus-. What people told Hancock he should have done with the car infront of the train. He went up.😂
That Inspector Gadget theme go hard 🕺
0:36 how many guys imagined themselves making monkey sounds at the sight of a beautiful woman?😂
This adaptation is a personal punching-bag of mine. It's an anomaly. It gets every element of the original cartoon wrong in order to make it more conventional. And it still confuses me why Disney thought this cartoon deserved an adaptation to the big screen in the first place. Like, they had a dozen of their own properties and shows they could have adapted. They could have done the same thing with Darkwing Duck, maybe Gargoyles. But no, they got the rights to a DiC series produced in Canada.
That chimp part is too good 😂😂😂
I had no idea Inspector Gadget had a live action movie. I only knew of the cartoon.
There was even a sequel in 2003. It had a different cast and went straight to video.
This was a great movie as a kid.
Everything from Inspector Gadget crossing the street the LONG way to save those kids to Robo Brenda and her fun, dumb ass😭
It was great.
I still can’t dislike this.
It was silly, but we LOVED it as kids.
Hil-ARIOUS.
grab the balls!!!!🤣
I left the potato bread on the table. Closed. Who the freak knew cats ate bread!? Clawed through the plastic!
I’ve been waiting for you guys to attack this movie, especially with Billy involved.😂😂😂😂
At least we got Youngstown performing a dance pop version of Inspector Gadget. 😅🎵
Also
15:00
Cocaine is a helluva drug. 😅😂🤣
The way my pop tells it, he and my mum went to see this and they were so bored that they engaged in what would become my conception.
Yoooo EarnieBoy wtf?!!😆😂🤣😂🤣now I don’t even know if I should consider this a Date movie or not.😆😆😆
@@murdergang624allday7 it was for them!!!! 😆
No way!😂
Matthew Broderick … aka Mr ‘that’s a lot of fish’ 😂😂😂😂
When I tell you I loved this movie so much as a kid! DL Hughley as the Gadget Mobile, the thing had a Skittle dispenser, Penny playing therapist to one of Claw's goons, evil Gadget with the cartoonish dentures, etc. haha classic!
It makes sense when you realize the same dude that produced the inspector gadget theme song is the same person that produced the power rangers theme song.
Did you know that you can say "Go go Gadget waterskis" to the tune of TLC's "Waterfalls"?
Did everyone forget or not know that in the credits, there is an extended scene about "Minions Anonymous" including Richard Kiel (Jaws from James Bond), Mr. T, and others in the audience.
This movie made having your limbs shot off one by one look less painful
I watched this too much as a kid.
However, I will not rest until we get a Bad Movie Roast of the overlooked direct-to-video sequel…
Inspector Gadget 2
27:35 Also they’re’s a very subtle three stooges reference. It’s very faint, but you can hear a nurse at the intercom saying “Paging Dr Howard, Dr Fine, and Dr Howard.”
Billys laugh should be in the remake of this film someday instead of a monkey sound
In almost slipped on your smooth brain reading that.
Never understood why this was made. The cartoon had wrapped by the mid 80’s, and no one was clamoring for more. Also, this is not a property meant for live-action. It worked as a cartoon, and it worked quite well. But, there simply is no way a live-action film could ever hope to compete with the original. It’d be akin to doing a live-action Mickey Mouse or Looney Tunes movie. And yet, somehow, the Inspector Gadget movie got a DTV sequel.
Speaking of worst movie adaptations of cartoons, I hope they review Transformers Revenge of the Fallen or Garfield
The initial concept of this movie was going to be much darker - almost on the same level as The Mask with Jim Carrey. Disney insisted on producing a more toyetic kids movie. For example, the Batmobile would have made a cameo and there was an entire subplot involving household appliances being transformed by Scolex to having animalistic behaviors.
That last part sounds like it was refitted for that _G-Force_ movie, with the gerbil spies.
I used to love this movie, and watched it recently on Disney Plus on a lazy night in, and that joke with the Japanese fella in the Godzilla scene has been cut out!
I'm pretty sure that RoboBrenda was Claw's sexdoll version of Brenda since the real Brenda wasn't interested. That's how I always took it, lol.
Man when I was a kid I loved the Inspector Gadget Cartoon. I still miss Don Adams RIP. When this movie came out I had my mom take me to see it in the theaters. TO THIS DAY…. I still apologize to her to taking me and sitting through this Trash movie. Even when I was 12 Years old. I knew this wasn’t good. But I say GOT DAMN Joely Fisher was Hot!
Brenda robot jumping off the roof cracks me up to this day. I think about more often than is healthy I’d wager.
Please tell me you guys are doing the sequel too! I love the sequel!
30:40 FUCKIN’ BUBBLES - Doug Walker
Billy vs Michelle Trachtenberg in a Laugh Off! Make it happen!
Go go gadget review!!
Had this video come out 10 years sgo, everyone would all agree that this movie is terrible and ruined everything. After seeing the comments, it seems people have come around on this film. Which is CRAZY! It is mid at best. However, what that essentially means is that this movie is now... 🥳 *OFFICIALLY NOSTALGIC!* 🎉
Sorry, no need to say there's anything wrong with this bad boy anymore because it officially entered the realm of the rose goggles called "_nostalgia._" A mysterious void where media goes from questionable, to a bonafide work of flawless art once a new bad sequel or reboot comes out. (Time is the key ingredient to achieve that ultra nostalgia center in your head. I'm no doctor, but there's a reason we keep rehashing ideas over and over. For the rest of time. Enjoy the ride.)
Now sure, we all have that media we cling onto to remind that innocent time from our youth. But no matter what decade satisfies that sentimental stretch... Inspector Gadget '99 still SUCKS. 😂
18:34 You couldn't cut out that lagging?
20:54 Another thing you couldn't edit out?
43:56 Oddly Eddie Murphy was considered for the role of Timon so he did in fact (almost) play Matthew Broderick's sassy Black sidekick in another Disney movie
47:55 There was also a Godzilla reference in another Matthew Broderick movie, Addicted to Love; surprisingly there aren't any Godzilla references in Ferris Bueller or The Lion King
This review was absolutely hilarious, Lol 🙂
Based on the amount of fondness people have for this movie in the comments, this should have been a Retro Review. This movie does not the deserve the "Bad Movie Roast", treatment...the sequel does.
Loved this movie as a kid. My dad used to let me watch the cartoon. I don't think this was suppoed to be that great. It was aimed at children. Inspector Gadget 2 with French Stewart was actually more accurate to the OG cartoon.
I cant wait till they review inspector gadget 2. A far superior film.
This film literally is so hilarious that I consider it to be the funniest film ever made.
When I lived in San Antonio, Texas, I remember getiing all those Happy Meal toys for this so I could build Inspector Gadget.
