@@KomamuraSajinI’ve only seen that one behind the scenes video where he’s taking a camera crew around the borderlands movie set and literally everyone is either visibly uncomfortable or annoyed with him being there. Didn’t know there was more stories about that lol
I remember this movie: it was in fierce competition with "Surrogates" to determine which film could create the most disturbing portrayal of a Redditor literally controlling a woman. The winner was "Gamer" by a long-shot; "Surrogates" couldn't compete with the copious amounts of _grease_ (they also had nothing on the syrup bowl). Also, if I recall, the main character doesn't manage to stab Mark Zuckerberg's slightly less evil twin at the end because of the kid, but because the MC tells Castlezuck to imagine himself being stabbed by the MC and the intrusive thoughts win (which one must admit is a clever way of beating mind control).
Just a note but this isn't how Hollywood movie math works... The real cost of a movie isn't the production budget. It's budget + financing + back end deals for the actors (percentage of net or gross or whatever they negotiate) + advertising which is hella expensive + any other miscellaneous costs such as re-shoots. So A 50 million dollar movie with all the OTHER expenses paid costs more like 60-75 million dollars. Also, the studio which pays pretty much all the costs associated with the movie only gets roughly half of the ticket money, the other half goes to the theater. So this movie didn't lose 8 million dollars. This movie probably lost somewhere around 40 to 50 million dollars.
Yes. And even breaking even would be a failure. A movie is an investment where the capital is tied up for years. It has to generate more profit than safer investments to be worth the risk.
teenage me loved that movie... Now that I have a bigger frame of reference when it comes to movies, it may have not been the best of all time, but I still think it's entertaining lmao
I had the same opinion. It was just a funny dumb movie. I think they guy making the video is the exact opposite of the movie. The guy is being to serious and the movie wasn't being serious at all. At least thats how the guy came off to me. I enjoyed Alana's reaction though.
It takes real balls and deep pockets to make good old fashioned cheesy action schlock and I'll take that over 20 identical super hero green screen explosion filled snoozefests any day of the week. I can't wait for Marvel to start losing enough money to force Hollywood to start making memorable crap like this again.
@@NoidsEdstrom Honestly yeah he seems so pissed and offended and shit that was never meant to be deep cheesy dumb fun action. "OH no there's GORE and SEX in my vidya game movie!!!11! How DARE they!" Like chill bro
Going to be honest looking at it now Crank looks bad but back then Jason Statham made it very entertaining. I don't exactly remember the plot of the movie besides him having his heart stolen and replaced with a potato which he has to stimulate himself with electricity to stay alive. It like something watching something from the perspective of a drug addict.
Your combining the plots of crank 1 and 2 lol. I believe in 1 it was like a super poison or toxin that would kill him unless he constantly released adrenaline (hand in the toaster and fucking his wife in public scene lmfao) the crank 2 us the robotic heart replacement that needs electricity (jump starting himself with the car and other scenes lol) either way both movies arent great by any means but teenage me was like thus shit is fire, 😂😂
I think those were "the investors". Yet another hidden message of the movie. Castle was a CEO, a publicity front man and he failed the real owners of this organization so they let him die. And then they let Kable go on a whimp because he posed no threat to them and just wanted to pick up his family and disappear
The only promotion I saw for this movie was a poster hanging on the side of a building IN-GAME for the Tansformers Revenge of the Fallen video game's multiplayer. It was wild.
How much crime is there in the world of that movie that they have enough people in death row to sacrifice hundreds of them every day for a video game? Even if there's only a few matches a week, they'd run out within a month or two in the real world. At that point they'd have to reduce the pace of the game massively because they'd have to get new death row inmates.
Oh boy I watched this on theather, I had blocked that memory. My dad and I had some free time to kill so we went to a random action movie, we probably saw the poster or something and thought "oh look Dexter is in it" and went in. I don't remember much of how we reacted to the thing but I have the vague sensation we both left unimpressed.
The concept of having people slaving away their identity to be controlled by another, sounds like a good cyberpunk story set-up. Unfortunately, like every potential expensive exotic new ingredients that can be good, a mediocre or bad cook will spoil the cuisine. Also people cheering why people dying? The recent Superbowl anyone? :3
Something I thought of, I don't know why he's so questioning if people would watch something like this. They totally would, are you kidding? We're no different than we were with gladiators, or witches. It would be the ultimate social media event.
Gladiator matches weren't as fatal as you would think, slaves were expensive and throwing them away in blood sports simply wasn't worth the cost so precautions where in place, on the other hand the arenas did offer shows where condemned criminals where thrown to wild animals, which would align more with your point
Rember kids, when someone questions people's enjoyement of violence, remind them of the full gladiator experience: -first fight (rarely fatal) -intermission -second fight(rarely fatal) -mock fight in which a female gladiator who is topless fights a gladiator midget (never fatal) -third fight (rarely fatal) -bonus round with real death wich could be: animal vs animal, animals versus criminals, a single animal killing a criminal who can't fight back or an actual gladiator fight but this time to the death (incredibly rare because it can take years to train a gladiator) And people brought children to this because you can see animals like bears and tigers.
How many MMA matches end in injuries that could easily kill you in a bar fight or street brawl? Didn't a WWE star get so badly brain-damaged in the ring he thought his wife and son were demons and pulverised them with gym equipment? Shit, how many Hispanophones all over the world are happy to watch and place bets on matadors or cockfighting pits? How many F1 fans have witnessed the violent ends of human lives for their entertainment? Bloodsport isn't some distant historical curiosity-it's modern commercial business. It's as innate to human culture as sporting itself.
Honestly it would have been a better ending to him having a prototype that Ken cannot control or telling him to not think about him killing him with the knife...
I remember hearing somewhere that when you get a movie's budget double it to include the real cost of marketing, I could be wrong but it wouldn't be surprised
...people wait until they are 15 to play GTA nowadays? You can still find modded pirate copies of San Andreas around here, and 9-12 kids are some of the biggest buyers. Versions like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Vegeta etc
I don't care what you say, Crank and Crank 2 are supercharged masterpieces. Chaotic insanity turned up to 11! Gamer, on the other hand was a hot mess. It's as if the people who make the fake video games in Law and Order episodes were given the chance to make a movie.
They're both prime examples of the two opposing types of "so bad it's good." Crank & F&F are the cheeky intentionally bad that is always the most fun. Gamer & Showgirls are the other type, ernest attempts at making a statement or serious drama but done so so incompetently that it's unintentionally hysterical.
This movie was such a futuristic dystopia hit piece against video games. But the good new is that elongated muskrat has started making the technology that would allow this to become a reality. 😅
It wasn't really a hit piece, it was an unhinged gory crank masterpiece. Story was mediocre, but the unhinged assured detailed massacre was awesome. It's like 4 Chan made a movie.
@@kjracz15 Nothing to do with that Korean tv show, they talking of a shitty 80s movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger loosely based on an amazing Stephen King novel happening in dystopian world with tv shows where desperate people go on and kill each other for money. Book is actually about running away and defending oneself for like a week to win while wanted and bunch of assassins sent after MC and other participants, while the movie is more an arena kill everybody else to win kinda thing.
You know, as someone who has grown to appreciate the live action Super Mario Bros. movie over the years, I don't feel like I can fairly shit on this movie too much.
So, I watched this movie and... ok. The guy that comments it makes it sound better than it actually was. The only thing I remembered about the movie was that they talked (the kid and the 300's guy) and that at some point Dexter controls ppl.
The Crank movies are fucking awesome tho 15:16 - 15:21 God, I miss the 2000s XD 19:18- 19: 26 This isn’t just Terry Crews, it’s Friday after the next Terry Crews! DX RUN!
I remember watching this when it was available on video. There was a 90's residue on it, like all 2000's action movies. Part shock value, part quick cuts, part dystopian premise with a poorly thought out moral stance. It was completely ordinary for its time, just maybe a few years on the late side.
I remember going into the cinema to watch this movie with my friends back when it released in 09. I also remember opting to forget about that movie by the consuming copious amounts of alcohol later that evening... and watching this video about it made me realize that 22 year old me was wise beyond his years.
I love how you're reacting to Joeseppi's stuff. Every single vid of his is a goldmine. Also, Gamer is brilliant. It's complete brain rot, but sometimes that's just the kind of movie you have a craving for.
12:01 why does he have 10 remote controls..... I thought the same thing when I watched the movie they literally have the technology to control people and yet they haven't figured out how to use a universal remote 😂😂😂
Death Race, etc. So many films with the same stupid idea: "Do you know who we should let out of prison?? Those death row murderers who have proven time and time again to be an unstoppable force of death and destruction". I like action films, but I need them to make sense to me, otherwise they are just boring.
Saying “They made him say those lines” as if Terry Crews wouldn’t say the most unhinged shit and be a big goofball for fun XD dude was in White Chicks, Old Spice commercials and played D&D with Critical Role
IDGAF. Id take this trash movie any day of the week than anything weve been getting lately. I mean, when was the last actually noteworthy movie? The only one i can think of is *_Joker._*
There are some actually good Gamer movies: The Gamers (2002), The Gamers: Dorkness Rising (2008), The Gamers: Hands of Fate (2013) They parody TTRPGs, card games, and gaming conventions, and it's hilarious.
This movie is peak so bad it's good. There's always two types of so good it's bad media, first is Gamer, The Room, & Showgirls. Media done in earnest attempt to make a statement or be serious drama & just coming off as horrendously incompetent. The others are intentionally cheeky & bad, like Evil Dead sequels, Crank, Ghoulies, Critters, & Birdemic. The cheese & badness is intentional.
DUDE battle royal is OLD, it was called king of the hill back than, or last man standing basically.. its old.. its a game mode, out of many different game modes.. in a 90s/00s shooter.. like unreal tournament, quake, anything.. such as Deathmatch, Team deathmatch, Capture the flag, Assult, Insta-Gib.. lots of shit.. back when arena shooters were fun and skins were free... and you didnt unlock shit with your credit card, but with your skills.. the real OG sweaty gaming nerds
The one thing I will never forgive this movie is… they used the title for a story I wanted to make, now the Gamer title will for ever be associated with this dump, all though the music for this dump is okay
На самом деле как что-то посмотреть на раз и не погружаться или фанатеть самое то. И очень крутая современная тенденция оценивать что-то по типу: "либо говно", "либо шедевр" и никак ничего не может нынче оказаться где-то между. Слишком много "критиков-инфлюенсеров", чье мнение становится общепризнанным просто потому что "они так говорят и я буду думать также, даже не соприкасаясь с данной материей".
I am continuously haunted by that one scene with the deadpan delivery of the girls going "Would you like to see our tits, Simon?". It causes me great pain all these years later. My name isn't even simon
I actually still love the Butter lines. It's obvious that Simon is just fucking with the cops they know it, he knows it. He's just being an ass and making ridiculous requests. The fact that the cop is fucking Keith David and he goes from being thoroughly pissed off, to perplexed by the idea of _Pistachio_ Butter will never not amuse me no no end.
I wanna know about that technology they had in gamer. Youre able to transfer someones physical body and mind into the game for somebody else to control, that's so high tech for a setting like this it's weird
I remember watching this when I was like 14, I picked it up in a general store for like 5 dollars. It may be one of the greatest 50 million dollar shitposts ever created.
It took me 8 minutes of watching this review to realize that I actually watched this movie before. None of it stuck out until we got to the boy that was controlling the grizzled man.
This whole era was kind of like the last hurrah for creative movies. Before, everything became a remake of a remake. They weren't all bangers , but at least they were original
thats literally the plot an premise of death race, RAce, Kill, Survive, You Get Your Freedom Jason Statham Actor was in Death Race they ripped of 2008 death race idea that's the plot to death race but with a hunger games twist
Bud this concept was from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie back in the 80's based on a Steven King novel which inspired the first twin stick shooter game which was one of the most successful arcade games of the 90's, Death Race didn't come up with this idea.
@@hornmonk3zit its not theres article proving its not based on any book because the running man is about criminal being watched, an the gamer came out in 2009 but death race came out in 2008 based on criminal playing a death game I to gain their freedom same as death race. so its the plot of death race this is Death Race without vehicular combat, its set in a prison just like the gamer, .
@@x-destinygunblade3683 First off, figure out a first grade level of punctuation before typing something. Second, the The Running Man literally says right in the opening credits it's based on The Running Man written by Richard Bachman which is a pseudonym of Steven King, it has the same plot and characters and setting. It's a dystopian future where prisoners are forced to fight for their freedom in a rigged televised game to entertain a worldwide audience, it's the same idea as Gamer and Death Race but twenty years older.
Gods, I remember when this movie came out. The amount of side-eye my grandmother gave me the entire time. I swear this movie validated the sad paranoia of every mildly concerned parent who ever saw a Jack Thompson speech.
Keith David!? What are YOU doing here!? Keith David: "Well truth be told, the producers gave me a huge dump truck full of money so I guess I had to give them *some* kind of performance."
nothing will ever be more cringe than movie makers who think they understand games or game makers that think they can make movies.
The stories about how Randy Bitchford is annoying to the cast of the Borderlands movie comes to mind for that latter part of your statement.
Just mainstream crowds making sfuff that portrays niche/Internet circles in general is always cringe. It never, as far as I can tell, works out
Speak for yourself *dunks entire handful of waffles into syrup*

Taking this movie serious is a Autisitc thing to do.
Its a satire silly movie. Have you not seen Crank?
Not a single gamer word in the entire movie.
*Unrealistic*
There’s ping
@@BarbatosLRWMMWhen they said "gamer words", they meant slurs. It's a meme.
15:19 sounds pretty gamer.
Gay
@@victorHhugo-uh9mq a real gamer wouldn't say gay, they'd use the other word which cannot be spoken on youtube
This movie feels like one of those memes were the Old boomer goes "hello there fellow kids"
But it's "hello there fellow gamers"
So, the average tourist saying how we should change what they supposedly liked enough to join the fandom.
This movie was like “how can we make deathrace again”
This is just straight up deathrace’s plot points but with a mildly different concept
Something that always surprised me was that DeathRace never got an officially licensed game.
@@chadschmaltz9790The closest we got was Carmageddon.
😅
The Running Man too. its far from a new concept and many other movies have done it better, but it seems like dumb fun.
I hate when I'm alone in my room in front of the computer when a MASSIVE Ludacris surprises me.
No pussy?
*No shit.*
LoL
I remember this movie: it was in fierce competition with "Surrogates" to determine which film could create the most disturbing portrayal of a Redditor literally controlling a woman.
The winner was "Gamer" by a long-shot; "Surrogates" couldn't compete with the copious amounts of _grease_ (they also had nothing on the syrup bowl).
Also, if I recall, the main character doesn't manage to stab Mark Zuckerberg's slightly less evil twin at the end because of the kid, but because the MC tells Castlezuck to imagine himself being stabbed by the MC and the intrusive thoughts win (which one must admit is a clever way of beating mind control).

Yes. And even breaking even would be a failure. A movie is an investment where the capital is tied up for years. It has to generate more profit than safer investments to be worth the risk.
Which is why a movie needs to make about 2-3x its budget to be considered successful and make profit
Isn't the rule of thumb for it is you take the movie budget and double it for marketing
the best part of this react was Alana's incredulity at the ability to get Ludacris to do something for money
Definitely a guilty pleasure movie
No pleasure. Just guilt.
I feel ya man
The movie makes me physically sick so it’s a torture movie for me.
I liked it
There's not a single second of pleasure here. Only cringe

Best transition ever.
Going to be honest looking at it now Crank looks bad but back then Jason Statham made it very entertaining. I don't exactly remember the plot of the movie besides him having his heart stolen and replaced with a potato which he has to stimulate himself with electricity to stay alive. It like something watching something from the perspective of a drug addict.
Yeah. Crank had a silly premise, but of course that wasn't really the point. It was just an excuse to have wild action shenanigans and it works.

@@ethanfreeman1106 treasure hunt style, like Goonies or National Treasure/Davinci Code but with video games
This movie feels like it's trying to mind break me. It's so bad on so many levels but I can't look away.
To be fair, that Pinocchio song is well in character for characters Terry Crews play.
This movie is peak so bad it's good. There's always two types of so good it's bad media, first is Gamer, The Room, & Showgirls. Media done in earnest attempt to make a statement or be serious drama & just coming off as horrendously incompetent.
The others are intentionally cheeky & bad, like Evil Dead sequels, Crank, Ghoulies, Critters, & Birdemic. The cheese & badness is intentional.
50mill budget, and equal marketingbudget very often, so 100mill, so -58mill loss.
HEY! Don't you dare slander the Crank movies.
Those were really funny, and I don't know if it was intended or not.
Definitely absolutely intended. The gags are too obvious & hit too hard for it to be unintentional.
DUDE battle royal is OLD, it was called king of the hill back than, or last man standing basically.. its old.. its a game mode, out of many different game modes.. in a 90s/00s shooter.. like unreal tournament, quake, anything.. such as Deathmatch, Team deathmatch, Capture the flag, Assult, Insta-Gib.. lots of shit.. back when arena shooters were fun and skins were free...
and you didnt unlock shit with your credit card, but with your skills.. the real OG sweaty gaming nerds
When the waffle scene happened ive never a complete meltdown of a movie theater with laughter
The Rick Rape guy was just being controlled by someone else and got his back broken for no reason lol
Aye, and the protag gets away with it.
Alana can't last 5 seconds without having to pause x.x
The only good thing about this movie is discovering that pistachio / grape goes HARD. Boujee PB&J, try it
The only actor i know here is keith david because he's the VA for Husk from hazbin holet
You know Keith David did other stuff before Hazbin Hotel, right?
@Vecchio_Rhosod85 yeah, I'm just saying that's where I recognize him from, wasn't saying he didn't do stuff before it
@@hinico3203 You're okay. Just wondering.
I remember that movie, it was a good movie.
The one thing I will never forgive this movie is… they used the title for a story I wanted to make, now the Gamer title will for ever be associated with this dump, all though the music for this dump is okay
На самом деле как что-то посмотреть на раз и не погружаться или фанатеть самое то. И очень крутая современная тенденция оценивать что-то по типу: "либо говно", "либо шедевр" и никак ничего не может нынче оказаться где-то между. Слишком много "критиков-инфлюенсеров", чье мнение становится общепризнанным просто потому что "они так говорят и я буду думать также, даже не соприкасаясь с данной материей".
I am continuously haunted by that one scene with the deadpan delivery of the girls going "Would you like to see our tits, Simon?". It causes me great pain all these years later. My name isn't even simon
WARNING!
This video contains scense of intensely cute Alana laughter.
I actually still love the Butter lines. It's obvious that Simon is just fucking with the cops they know it, he knows it. He's just being an ass and making ridiculous requests. The fact that the cop is fucking Keith David and he goes from being thoroughly pissed off, to perplexed by the idea of _Pistachio_ Butter will never not amuse me no no end.
I had this on DVD at one time. (All official and shit, not pirated.) I lost that copy years ago. I thought it wasn't that bad.
I wanna know about that technology they had in gamer. Youre able to transfer someones physical body and mind into the game for somebody else to control, that's so high tech for a setting like this it's weird
I remember watching this when I was like 14, I picked it up in a general store for like 5 dollars. It may be one of the greatest 50 million dollar shitposts ever created.
Almost completely forgot about this movie. It was odd back then and hasn't really aged well either.
I liked this movie when it came out. Original movie at the time. Now i see the acting and plot are mid but i think its still a fun movie.
This seems too goofy a premise to have a message, and yet they definitely seem to think they have a message.
at 4:34 timestamp, confirmed lizard person video glitch
Taking this movie serious is a Autisitc thing to do
"How can I fuel up this car?"
"PISS PISS PISS PISS"
1:50 That budget probably doesn’t include marketing, which is usually an extra 50% on top of the product budget.
It took me 8 minutes of watching this review to realize that I actually watched this movie before. None of it stuck out until we got to the boy that was controlling the grizzled man.
I liked this movie, like 6,5/10. not bad
This whole era was kind of like the last hurrah for creative movies. Before, everything became a remake of a remake. They weren't all bangers , but at least they were original
I watched this years ago... Acurate description😅
It's like Stephen King's Running Man on Crank
thats literally the plot an premise of death race, RAce, Kill, Survive, You Get Your Freedom Jason Statham
Actor was in Death Race they ripped of 2008 death race idea that's the plot to death race but with a hunger games twist
Bud this concept was from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie back in the 80's based on a Steven King novel which inspired the first twin stick shooter game which was one of the most successful arcade games of the 90's, Death Race didn't come up with this idea.
@@hornmonk3zit whats the movie called
@@hornmonk3zit its not theres article proving its not based on any book because the running man is about criminal being watched, an the gamer came out in 2009 but death race came out in 2008 based on criminal playing a death game I to gain their freedom same as death race. so its the plot of death race this is Death Race without vehicular combat, its set in a prison just like the gamer, .
@@x-destinygunblade3683 First off, figure out a first grade level of punctuation before typing something. Second, the The Running Man literally says right in the opening credits it's based on The Running Man written by Richard Bachman which is a pseudonym of Steven King, it has the same plot and characters and setting. It's a dystopian future where prisoners are forced to fight for their freedom in a rigged televised game to entertain a worldwide audience, it's the same idea as Gamer and Death Race but twenty years older.
Got to admit, when he said the people of this universe love seeing people killed, I thought of Vicarious by TOOL
Ngl this movie would be a blast with pals and some drinks
Oh hey, Dexter.
Gods, I remember when this movie came out. The amount of side-eye my grandmother gave me the entire time. I swear this movie validated the sad paranoia of every mildly concerned parent who ever saw a Jack Thompson speech.
This introduced me to The Bloodhound Gang 😂
Keith David!? What are YOU doing here!?
Keith David: "Well truth be told, the producers gave me a huge dump truck full of money so I guess I had to give them *some* kind of performance."
