@@gibberishtwist Oh......... yeah............ I never watched that show. History-oriented stuff just felt like School wanted me to watch it. Plus it was made by the people who made the Kevin Sorbo _Hercules_ and he's a right wing nut job and I don't like supporting that. Plus, Lucy Lawless is Australian and there's all that racism down there- it's a lot like supporting Israel in the Israel-Palestine thing... When separated, these reasons might not add up to much but combined, they work for me.
@@videodromeTVversion Listen...I don't want this to sound impolite but those are some weird reasons not to watch such a terrible show. Should people not watch Toy Story just because Tim Allen is in it? or any other right-wing people for that matter? It's not as if the rest of the entertainment industry are a bunch of socialists. And in what country do they not have 'all that racism'? Their treatment of history is about the least accurate of all time as well. Basically, if it happened more than a hundred years ago, Xena did it. That's it. Also, I don't know if this helps at all but Lucy Lawless is from New Zealand. I don't recommend the show, though. Everything I can remember about it is awful, and I watched every episode. So, that would be a good reason not to watch it. Just that it's not good.
@@Gaff. I was only being half-serious about all the reasons after the history thing. I'm not a fan of media that feels like it's just trying to get you to learn. They have the _worst_ soundtracks. Just all boring orchestra, heavy on horns. Blech.
You started off wrong there Scardey Matt. Wishmaster is definitely one of the best movies you've ever seen because it's one of the best movies ever made so unless you're from some weird alternate dimension or you used a wish to see better films then it's one of the best films you've seen.
He was originally from some weird alternate dimension, but used a wish to see better films which resulted in him seeing Wishmaster (which doesn't explain his mistake in the intro). The cost of the wish is that his work on his other channel is often interrupted by a certain eyeball-related eldritch being.
Fun fact, Wishmaster 3 was filmed in my city and my film teacher worked as a stunt person on it. He had a lot of good behind the scenes stories about it, including the really, really horrible car crash the film begins with because it was so bad and he knew it but the script has it and the director couldn't deviate from the script so car crash on a straight flat highway where you can see miles ahead of you it was.
This is one of my favorite lost horror gems. The second one is definitely significantly worse as a horror movie, but it’s MUCH funnier because they’re clearly taking themselves way less seriously. Please, PLEASE include the clip with the lawyer when you cover it. It’s so bad. 😂
I remember watching this out of nowhere, possibly guided by TV Tropes, and being so surprised at how much I enjoyed it that I ended up thinking it was a genuinely good movie. It probably isn't? But I loved the heck out of it.
Depends on how you frame it. Time spent vs time left. If you give their body more time, you're increasing the amount of time they have existed, making them older.
I hear that in a later movie he grants a wish for "a safe place to hide where I won't be found" by just stuffing someone into a small hole with most of them still sticking out of it, quite clearly able to be found. So, I think it's "I get to do murders, screw you" logic at the best of times.
Oh my god!! Wishmaster was my favourite horror franchise when I was in high school / early university. Watched each one of them multiple times. Andrew Divoff is a freaking legend - he was fantastic on Lost (which I loved, even if I hated the ending), but here are some more fun facts - he was also in an in an incredibly schlocky Yuzna movie called Faust: Love of the Damned, which, I can never decide whether it's so bad it's good or so bad it's still bad. He was in the Highlander TV series, which I only mention because I'm very invested in the Highlander franchise. He was in one of the Command and Conquer Red Alert games. He got bored of just acting for a while and became a lumberjack, but then decided to just clean forests of trees with pine beetle infestations. He speaks nine languages, and regrets that he's lost his grasp on the tenth he used to know. He's a big time environmentalist and gives a lot of his money to environmentalist causes, food banks, and medical charities. This guy is amazing, and as bad as they end up getting, I love the Wishmaster movies. I also greatly appreciate the Day of the Dead shout-out. Joseph Pilato was brilliant in that film. Anyway I've prattled on long enough, I just really love your content and I'm very hyped that you love this thing I used to spend so much time with, and that we'll get to go through each title. (Speaking of 4, that's also ... like this weird ... Beauty and the Beast thing, right? That's not just me? Because he knows he needs to get her to legitimately love him for what he is. 4 is a STRANGE FILM.)
Oh man I had forgotten this franchise entirely. I also was too drunk in my twenties while watching these with my housemate, but that box dropping on Ted Raimi brought it all back!
The gem's forging gives me strong Lord of the Rings vibes Even the fonts they used in the text are almost exactly like the ones LOTR would use years later
I remember finding Divoff totally captivating in this movie, and being a little chagrined that I was having nearly the same reaction as the thirsty sales lady.
you convinced me to watch this before continuing with the video and despite skipping most parts where the wish granting Cell wasn't on screen I loved this movie purely because of that guy's performance by gods. Amazing.
I wish for anarcho-communism to start now without anyone having to die or get harmed except for the djin who cease to have ever existed, without a paradox occurring.
@@stm7810 "I wish for anarcho-communism to start now without anyone having to die or get harmed" No one has to die or get harmed in the action of Anarcho-Communism starting now, you did not abolish violence permanently.
Actually, Pazuzu is a Mesopotamian deity. The statue of him you see in The Exorcist (and in this movie) are faithful replicas of real-life representations of him.
Random story: when I was like 10 or so I was walking my dog past this random video rental place and they just put out their trash and in it was a box of movie promo posters. Most were tings I found boring at that age like romcoms and dramas but mixed in the bunch was one for Wishmaster. Being a baby horror nerd at that time I hung that bad boy up on my wall and stalked the tv guide listing, I was obsessed. When I finally saw the movie I loved every second of it.
He is a better dream demon than he is a theological archaeologist. Actually, I mean, he's a rich old dude who's a collector, it's totally in character for that to be the case. FREDDY COLLECTOR: Ah, Angra Mainyu! Perhaps the most interesting lost, dead, forgotten god in my collection of statues! GUY WHO JUST INSTALLED THE STATUE: My cousin's a Zoroastrian. FREDDY COLLECTOR: If only there was a single living soul who could speak of his dead religion! STATUE GUY: I could, like, show you the temple. FREDDY COLLECTOR: Alas, there are not.
I had totally forgotten Raimi was in Candyman until I rewatched it last week, was really struggling to accept Joxer the Mighty as leather-clad boyfriend dude.
*Nervously adjusts glasses* Forgive me, Lord Slime, but actually, it seems it is very much possible to forge a gem this way. We do it with Sapphire, for example. It's just a matter of reaching the right temperatures and having apropriately pure resources. What's that? Oh no, I'll just see myself out. Can you hear that? Oh god, I can hear them whispering, calling to me, speaking horrible truths... The eyeballs... I can see them now... Thanks for introducing me to your channel and giving me an apreciation of horror as an art. Keep it up!
oh my gooooddd I love these movies so much!! Sometimes i jsut have to binge the whole series all over again. They are just so much fun! IM so happy to see some Wishmaster love!
So glad you gave Knightriders a shoutout. I saw that for the first time about a month ago and I'm honestly shocked it doesn't get talked about more, it's truly original and a pure joy to watch.
I realize this particular video is literally years old, but I just want to say MAN I wish we were friends in college because I've always wanted friends to watch my stupid movies with. I LOVE Wishmaster, Ghoulies, Critters and pretty much every other video you've covered - I share your passion for wet puppet media. I tried to do a b-movie horror night for a while but my friends just don't have the interest. Their loss, more cheesball 80s nonsense for me to rewatch over and over.
I love how he's different in this movie aside from all the other horror characters played from other horror main actors. I would love to see Dinn, Freddy, Candyman, demon from demon knight and the crypt keeper have a conversation and try to kill each other.
I consider Wishmaster horror comedy. You could also say it is its own genre. The best part about the Djinn is how he grants wishes. The wishing person has to be extremely specific. Results of vague wishes is funny as it is terrifying. A lesson to be learned from this corny but legendary flick. One of the best.
Coming back and re-watching this a year later and suddenly realizing that I first saw Divoff playing a Soviet general alongside Peter Stormare as a Soviet scientist and Tim Curry as the Soviet Premiere in Red Alert 3 (which also starred J.K. Simmons and George Takei.) And the scenes with Divoff, Stormare and Curry are what I remember the most from that game.
Hey Mildred. Im back to watch the Wishmaster series with you for probably the fourth time. I know you're not religious, but I want to thank you for the shout out to Zoroastrianism and being generally really nice and respectful to minority religions.
I'm so excited to see a video about wishmaster. I thought I was the only one that likes this. I was watching thought slime and this came up in my recommendeds. I was so excited I just had to feed babadook and rumbletum with some algorithmic sustenance. Thank you scaredy Matt I appreciate you doing the full series.
I know this comment is a year late, but I gotta give props here for the call out to I Think You Should Leave! I was so happy when I saw they did a season 2 of it on Netflix, that show does not get enough credit for how outrageously hilarious it is!!
thank you for making this, i totally watched this as my first horror movie when i was like 6 and totally suppressed it lmao. Totally have to go watch it again
I remember when this came out, my friends and I joked about "The wishmeister", his lame cousin. He granted really underwhelming and disappointing wishes and was really whiny.
It would be hilarious if there were one for every nationality. Le maître des souhaits guillotines his victims after their third wish for example.

Divoff's Djinn is basically Emperor Palpatine with the hamminess dialled up to 11.

I know this comment is a year late, but I gotta give props here for the call out to I Think You Should Leave! I was so happy when I saw they did a season 2 of it on Netflix, that show does not get enough credit for how outrageously hilarious it is!!
One of the funniest reviews I've ever watched!
I'm 100% onboard with wishmaster weeks!
thank you for making this, i totally watched this as my first horror movie when i was like 6 and totally suppressed it lmao. Totally have to go watch it again
Until now it never even occurred to me that the Wishmaster movies could be fun. I wish they were all streaming on youtube!
This is by far my favorite horror movie franchise

Woke: Deal with an evil djinn by wishing he never existed
