Battlefield Earth is a movie that exists. John Travolta is in the movie and pushed really hard to get it made. It now exists. This is a movie that exists.
Battlefield Earth raises some questions. Like why does this movie exist? How did this get made? Someone made this - why did they do that?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Battlefield Earth.

The rare occasion where the Pitch Meeting is less insane than the real pitch meeting
This movie was made by Scientologists, so, yep.
@@edwardallenthree Don't make eye contact with Tom, whatever you do!
My god I’d love to have been a fly on the wall during the real pitch meeting.
I'm pretty sure the real pitch meeting involved hypnosis, cult persuasion, and possibly a shovel to the back of the producer man's head.
@@ph8077 it is my firm belief this movie was some failed coup attempt to oust Tom as the top actor and for Travolta to take his place. And everything that's happened to Travolta after is punishment for missing when he shot for the king.
I wonder how tempted Ryan was to film this whole thing at a dutch angle.
thank gods he didn't go all in on that, my eyes would be in pain in the end
I honestly thought he would
My parents said if I hit 40k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging!!!😅
If this took place in Germany, it would had been a Dutch angle 🙄🙄🙄
I was kinda disappointed he didn't.
Me and my friends rented this for a sleepover when we were kids, they all fell asleep maybe 20 mins in and I was the only one who finished it. The next morning they asked me how it ended and they ended up replaying it because they didn't believe what I described.
no way, you have a terrific memory! hope you tell that to your children!
so you had to watch it twice?
you poor child😢
@@donoimdono2702 Not only did he have to watch it twice, but he had to also recall the experience to tell his friends what happened.
That's funny, they thought you were screwing with them.
This movie was MADE for Pitch Meetings. Thank you.
That's impossible! This movie was made far long before Pitch Meetings even existed!
My parents said if I hit 40k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging!!!🎉😢
@@lz_377 You can't make a movie without ever pitching it, silly
Obviously this Pitch Meeting was made for the movie to bexist happen
The worse the movie, the better the Pitch Meeting.
In all the many years of hearing people chat shit about this film, I realised today that I had never actually heard the plot described. What a fucking fever dream of a narrative
It is probably the pinnacle of a book being better than the movie. The differences between the two are astronomical in scale.
Setting aside the book, the pitch meeting barely scratched the surface of the odd, bad and weird in this movie. This one easily could've been 10 or 15 minutes.
I never realized how bad the script for this movie was until now! XD That being said, I never watched that movie again since its theatrical release! 😅😅😅
Occasionally it hits me I've actually seen it. Even more of a fever dream. Hard to believe it's a thing I've actually experienced.
He did an amazing job of doing what no one else whose seen the movie was able to do.
"Jet fuel doesn't have shelves sir, it's liquid. Where would you install shelves?"
Thank you. You are brilliant.
I just looked up the shelf life of gasoline and was surprised, I thought it would be longer. It begins to degrade in a car tank after 1 month, and can last in storage for 3 years at the most.
@@sarahberknerbut jet fuel is not the same as gasoline
@@bloopbloop9687 I believe the AV-8B Harrier uses JP-8 jet fuel which has a maximum shelf life of 85 months. You're definitely right that jet fuel isn't the same as gasoline though.
I saw this movie in the theaters and let me just tell you... when i was a kid, going to the movies was a rare privilege. So whenever me and my siblings were able to go to one we reveled at the opportunity no matter what we were watching. 20 mins into this movie and all 5 of my siblings were OUT COLD. I will never forget this memory
I can understand it really was a privilege in those days. We live in south east aisa and have to watch that movie in a camrip version. Imagine watching "that" movie in particular in a blurry camrip version, you can't :3
You had us in the first half haha.
@@erikwebber6038 yeah we wanted our money back eventhough we snuck into the theater. nyc in 90s was a theme park
Clearly your mom had better hobbies than you
@@nayaunglatt I remember VCDs from 20-30 years ago. The resolution was a pathetic 240p and you needed at least 2 maybe 3 discs per movie, but I could fill up a suitcase in Bali or KL and take them back to uni in Australia. Come to think of it that probably is the format I watched this movie in.
A movie producer knowing Scientologists are watching him is the scariest/most truthful part of this.
It's not a particularly large group of LARPers with a penchant for tax write-offs. What is there to be afraid of?
Scientologists stopped being scary after South Park's closet episode.
@@KerbalFacile they are scary like clowns are scary. Its their utterly insane minds that make them scary
@KerbalFacile and yet that episode had credits where everyone on production was named alan smithee....... becuase they feared the lawyers
A guy who once was a Scientologist said that they all were ordered to watch the movie by the people at the top.
I finally watched this movie a couple of years ago. I thought it would be in the class "so bad it's good". Instead, it is "so bad it hurts".
I watched as a kid and I liked it as a kid. I specifically remember the cavemen selling the idea to the alien boss that they did in fact smelt the gold into bars for his convenience.
Felt like they play on his ego, but he is just a big dumb idiot.
Or the plot was just ridicolous.
@@Limrasson You watched it at the right time, when you could appreciate the dumbness of the movie. Yes, the plot was just ridiculous.
I was older and had more years of Science and Engineering behind me (and probably noticed even more levels of dumb than you did as a kid). I guess the painful part was that it was played seriously, instead of tongue-in-cheek "yes, we know this is silly".
It's amazing how much better this makes "Battlefield Earth" sound than it actually was.
Still an academy award winner compared to the Series Mission Earth by L Ron. I read the entire 10 book set and I was CONSTANTLY going, well. it HAS to get better at some point. It just HAS to. Spoiler: It didn't.
@@Alacritous Why you read it?
That's what I was thinking! It almost sounds watchable!
I must imagine that there are people who like _every_ movie they ever watch.
@@piotrd7355 because I borrowed it from a friend and like I said I figured it had to get better at some point. I was mistaken.
I am convinced that the cameraman for the movie had one leg that was much shorter than the other.
Love it! That would save so much setup time.
Probably born and raised on the side of a mountain.
Coincidentally, he was also Dutch
Joe Lean?
The cinematographer later said that the director insisted on all of the Dutch angles because he wanted the movie to look like a comic book.
I was a teenager when I won free tickets to go see this at the cinemas with a friend. When we were about to line up a few people walked past us who just saw it and said 'don't bother'. We went and bought tickets to Gladiator instead. No regrets.
very wise move
I watched it on a movie channel and couldn't get more than 20 mins in.
wow.
Sometimes a movie is bad but ENTERTAININGLY bad.
Other times it just makes you sad.
Gladiator is rated R. You, as teens, weren't allowed to see it, and this is a fake story
@@gigiizzy5651 not in Australia, rated M for mature 15+, but it's only a guideline, children can still watch it. I was 15 at the time anyway.
@gigiizzy5651 18-19 are also teens
As a tour guide, I started using your line 'super easy, barely an inconvenience' and someone else who watches Pitch Meeting noticed!!!
Oho, inside jokes are TIGHT!
Where do you guide tours that this line is applicable?
Did they respond, "Oh really?"
I do this in teaching! Sadly, no intl students have so far noticed.
@@biosaari Does it make you feel like belonging to a Secret Order?
Thank you for suffering through this movie to bring us a Pitch Meeting, Ryan.
I never fully appreciated how dumb the plot actually is…until now.
Thank you for your service, Ryan.
Believe me. It is hilarious watching the bad movies to see what exactly Ryan was joking about.
@@vaevobis3589 Seriously! I hope he doesn't end up with PTSD.
I actually went to the premiere in the cinema with my friends. The most memorable moment during the film was when y friend walked out. He assumed that sitting outside alone and smoking cigarettes would be better use of his time, and also better for his overall health.
Mental health, perhaps. Definitely not physical health. :)
My roommate calls this film “Battlefield Holland” because of all the Dutch angles.
So why are they called “Dutch” angles? Are their legs different lengths?
I just looked it up, and apparently, Dutch used to also mean German, and the tilted angle shot is mainly associated with German expressionist cinema.
@@lilyofthevalley2048 It comes from "Deutsch", which is German. For some reason only the English call us by that weird name. I guess "Netherlander" sounds too spooky and mythical.
@@dylansmit3883 not quite. While it is cognate with Deutsch, the word has been used in English far longer than the modern German state. It originally referred to any of the germanic peoples, before gradually narrowing to a group of people in the Netherlands. The reason is believe to be because those were the people the English interacted with the most, by virtue proximity. Though the more general usage persisted for a long time.
I'll give the movie this and only this: the part with Travolta perfectly lining that coffin up with gold bars was some satisfying stuff.
A friend of ours was the manager for the small movie theater in town. She gave her husband, me, and another friend a free pass to watch it before it was officially released. I'm so glad that none of us paid money for it.
Which is kind of too bad because the book is actually pretty good, not great, but pretty good. Kind of like The Postman, good book, crap movie.
@@Folker46590 That book is more cancerous than your input, lol
It really is the worst tragedy in human history of film making every aspect was absolutely 💩.
@@shadowarez1337 It's not the worst in everything. The Travolta parts are funny.
@@marionhtjtluConflicting opinions, eh? I wonder who's right. The book could be good, not in a literature classic way, but maybe it's entertaining.
I convinced one of my best friends to go watch this. He was so mad at me we didn’t speak for years.
I don't blame him.
Show him this as a way to finally reconnect and break the ice lol
I had the same experience with Independence Day Resurgence
Twenty minutes into the movie I knew I had made a MONUMENTAL mistake. But I was young and too stubborn to walk out.
the real battlefield earth were the friends we lost along the way
I loved that movie. The scene where they painstakingly replaced all the leaky capacitors in the 1000 year old electronics was the best most realistic demonstration of soldering I’ve ever seen.
where would they get brand new capacitors to replace the old ones ?
@@davidjacobs8558from the plot armoire.
One of my favourite things about Pitch Meeting is how psychotically enthusiastic producer guy is every time right from the get-go purely because writer guy has literally any kind of movie for him lol
Any kind of *money for him.
We could all use a friend who looks at us like Producer Guy looks at Screenwriter Guy
aMAYzing
Because a fresh movie means fresh MONEY.
"Well, it sounds like a movie."
"For all intents and purposes it is! Technically."
This may be one of the meanest and most accurate things ever said in this series.
Definitely. Best line of the video, for me.
@@Paul_G. That and the Dutch Tilt gag. xD
Because it was a propaganda tool used to promote Scientology
So mean! 😂
Legally, it had to be. Apparently the company that pushed it was money laundering.
I'll never forget going to this movie on opening night with a friend and only a single other person showed up in the theater.
Was that other person John Travolta?
@@Stew_Pit_Sambo
Haha possibly 😂
Same thing happened to me and my girlfriend when we went to see Speed 2. There were 2 other people there in this massive theater and the guy actually said out loud "Aww! I thought we were going to be alone!"
This movie came out 20+ years ago and I never watched it. And now I never need to thanks to this Pitch Meeting
I did. It wasn't that bad watching it, because I think we had some beer and it was mostly in the background.
You're not missing anything...
No, you should definitely watch it. They can't make comedies this good.
Watch Nostalgia Critic’s review. One of the funniest classical movie review.
Oh, it's a must see. Movies this delightfully bad don't come along too often.
I just want to take a moment to thank Ryan for watching this movie and making this video so no one else ever has to watch it ever again
That's crazy because this movie sounds so insane I actually want to watch it now.
Got to the end end of video. Never mind, this movie is dumb and should never be watched by anyone.
Scientologists and those who haven't seen this video will still possibly watch it. Heck, sometimes bad movies can be so bad they're funny- this isn't one, more of a cool concept completely screwed up- but people that haven't watched it already might not realize that.
The really terrifying thing? I can think of three major release films that I'd hate to watch MORE than Battlefield Earth.
We are truly in the darkest timeline.
@@kingleech16 Fast 5-8? 🤔
4:23 it's literally just one year in case anyone's wondering
Really, that short?
But if stored properly, it can last 999 years longer. Yeah, that’ll work.
So the founder of scientology also wrote the Battlefield Earth novel? That makes so much sense.
That's why he called the aliens "Psychlos," because some psychologists told him he needed meds, and he hated all psychologists for that.
Yeah, he started out as a terrible sci-fi author and then I guess he thought, "Well, I'll just create a cult then because I hate everyone".
@LeBrom it was a bet between Alan Parsons & Hubbard. They were talking about how popular Star Wars was at the time and how it could be made into a religion. He basically plagiarized half of the Sumerian creation story (Anunaki, etc) and planet of the apes.
He wrote a whole lot of foundational scifi. Battlefield Earth itself apparently bears almost no resemblance to the movie (I never read it). Read a few things in HS in the late 90s... I faintly recall some interesting ones, some boring ones (like the 10-book Mission Earth) etc. Even to my immature awareness, nothing seemed very nuanced. Character names, abilities... very in-your-face and OP if they were the hero.
@@Ceyx000 I think you mean Jack Parsons? And I think the one that got pranked was Parsons himself, on behalf of Hubbard and some other folks if I remember correctly. I could be wrong tho.
To think, this isn't even the craziest shit written by L. Ron Hubbard.
correction: "badly written"
@@scottjackson1636 Not mutually exclusive.
The un-filmed half of that book does get more unbelievable.
Given the quantity of drugs he was on, it’s surprising he managed to write anything at all.
@@gregelsnic2545 that's putting it lightly. The ending was....clever I guess.
THIS is why I come here. Never stop, bro.
"well if the humans haven't been around for 1000 years that means there was nobody around to unplug it Sir" LMAOOOOOOO God Bless Ryan George
So.. no cats for 1000 years?
RIGHT?! I had to back that up about three times and am still laughing about it. Followed by jet fuel not having shelves because it's a liquid. It just made my whole night.
Absolutely disgusting and offensive, keep your evil cultist crap to yourself instead of insulting Ryan
That actual scene in the movie, i was blown away. Like everything else was just dumb but that, you feel insulted.
I thought he was gonna say humans haven't been around to use all the electricity. 😂
I was so excited for this movie to come out. I talked my friends into seeing it with me on opening night. Once it was over my friends banned me from picking a movie ever again.
An understandable decision.
Why were you excited for this one?
I think you were lucky you still had friends. And pants. That seems the minimal penalty.
As he rightly should.
You deserved it 😂
Producer guy: "hey, what's the shelf life of jet fuel?"
Writer guy: "jet fuel doesn't have shelves, sir; it's liquid."
Producer guy: "right!"
Writer guy: "where would you install shelves?"
Producer guy: "I don't know what I was thinking."
This had me lmao for like 5 or 10 mins lol😂
At some point, Ryan is going to find a movie so unreasonably broken that when the Producer asks "So, do you have a movie for me?" he'll reply "I...I think so?"
Has he done "The Room" yet?
Would you settle for just straight 'No!'? I'm sure that if you watch all the previous pitch meetings, you'll find it. It's there.
@@tomash9182 Oh my god. I have to find this one.
I think he did a similar opening with one of the transformers movies?
Not a movie, but a series: The Acolyte.
Even Battlefield Earth sounds more reasonable than this piece of garbage.
This is the 1st movie I ever walked out of. I wound up sneaking into the next theatre and saw the 2nd 1/2 of Dude, Where's My Car?
And then...
@@yvan2563 Then I wound up joining a "Dude, where's my car" cult!
@@351cleavland And then?
You made the right choice. Inexplicably.
Kristy Swanson makes that movie worth watching over and over.
Oh boy, saw the film 20 years ago and literaly remember nothing but Travolta looking and acting mad and bad. Thx for that golden memory
You don’t remember that he had extra fingers? 😂
"...technically." doing some heavy lifting there at the end 😂
We 100% NEED a pitch meeting for “The Room” 🙏🏼
Oh hi, Mark
Went to a screening of “The Room” a few years ago and someone yelled “Actually, super easy, barely an inconvenience” after one of the film’s million plot contrivances.
No we don't. You can't make fun of something that's already hilarious by itself.
The Room couldn't have involved professional movie executives though...
Doing in tomy wisou voice.
Ryan,
Kind words.
I hope you never run out of ideas and produce these videos for us forever.
It's actually 100% of the shots. I remember there was an extra on the DVD where the cinematographer was bragging about it.
Wow what a schmuck
That's the "If you screw up monumentally, act like you did it on purpose" theory of filmmaking.
"Sometimes you say pretty ridiculous stuff, sir......Anyway, these newly trained cavemen get into the 1000 year old jets to fly away and fight the aliens."
Gold, Jerry. Gold.
So this is where the writers of the second Wonder Woman movie got the idea that jets at air museums are functioning jets with fuel in them!
I never realized that Battlefield Earth was a weird, twisted retelling of the story of the Annunaki. Thank you Pitch Meeting Guy.,
That slideshow at the end brought back so many memories…
Forest Whitaker to John Travolta: What fresh hell did you drag me into this time?
Makes you wonder WTF he did to "The Church" to get stuck in that role.
I appreciated that the slide show at the end featured only the most flattering shots from the video.
Growing up, erybody heard stories about how weird this movie is, though I never met anybody who had actually watched it. Thank you Ryan, for showing us how truly and utterly insane it realy is.
Unless you’ve seen it, you’ve only scratched the surface. It’s truly one of the worst movies ever, made even worse because they were really trying🤣
I remember watching it. It was weird.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Hold on, it's not one of those movies that are made to be so terrible it become good? Then why did the choose to film it by tilting the camera?
I have it on DVD :)
It's hilariously bad.
*Spoiler* There's like 5 mins of giant cubes of ice crashing down and shattering on the ground.
Holy crap I can't believe it took you this long to do this one. "That's my favorite muppet!" almost made me flip over my chair.
I want to see a pitch meeting for Ben Hur or the Wheel of Time series. I can't believe how much I watch this guy talk to himself and stay entertained. He should be doing cameos in tons of shows and movies.
A Wheel of Time pitch meeting would be tight!
I'm glad Ryan is doing this pitch, I can finally figure out what this movie is about
That slide show was the best part of my whole day. Thank you.
I have an idea for a disney robin hood pitch meeting!
Producer: "Tell me about Robin Hood."
Pitcher guy: "He's a recurring character who's obsessed with gold and has a side kick based on a character from the jungle book."
Producer: "Tell me about Prince John."
Pitcher guy: "He's a recurring character who's obsessed with gold and has a side kick based on a character from the jungle book."
My parents said if I hit 40k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging!!!❤❤
I'll support your idea for that pitch meeting if you'll support my idea for a pitch meeting for the Disney Hercules movie.
You don’t need a camera to get into 40K
@@legoking6165 Thank you and deal!
@@Najeeb_Gamer7788 My parents are dead but I'm sure that they would tell your parents that they are terrible parents.
"That's my favourite Muppet!" Good job I wasn't holding a cup of coffee when I heard that! 😂😂😂
Why do you limeys use that fruity u in favorite?
Do you mean drinking a cup of coffee? Or was that zinger going to completely send you into a seizure
Ryan has been doing this sketch format for so long but it never stops being funny. that is not an easy thing to accomplish in comedy. a real testament to how talented he is
It boggles the mind that it took this long to get a Battlefield Earth Pitch Meeting. It feels so obvious, and yet… there is just so much to unpack.
Also: Fools, while you were still learning to SPELL YOUR NAME, Ryan was being trained to conquer the UA-cam Algorithm!
He had to watch it first.
Of COURSE!
5:29 I'm going out on a limb here and suspect that slide was close to a tight moment.
A Pitch Meeting for a movie worthy of being used for an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is tight.
Rifftrax did indeed make fun of it. Go check it out.
RiffTrax actually did this movie.
Haven't they riffed it yet?
There was No one to unplug it. That seriously folded me!😂😂
"That's my favorite Muppet!" 😂
That slideshow outro made me feel cozy in a this-channel-stops-broadcasting-at-1:00-AM sorta way. 📺😊
New Pitch Meetings are TIGHT!
I read it with his accent
@@slupskib3 that's because you are *awesome!*
wow... wow wow wow
My parents said if I hit 40k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging!!!😊
I Hear they are hard to make
Just seeing that this is for Battlefield: Earth made me think: I love you, Ryan George.
Saw this in theaters with my parents. It was...quite the experience going in blind minus a single trailer some weeks beforehand. Wow!
"You need some gold from a cave.So he teaches them all the skills for a revolution" im dying!😂😂😂
I just want to take a second to acknowledge the fact that, the plan was to force Johnny to the brink of starvation to figure out what his favorite food was. Like anyone else would’ve made sure he was well-nourished, and then given them options, but these hyper-advanced aliens, who apparently conquered the Earth in 9-minutes, couldn’t figure that out.
The enthusiastic "obviously!" was fantastic xD
I'm loving the slide show from the thing I just watched. My favorite new Pitch Meeting running joke!
Ryan George, thank you so much for taking the time to hear my request and doing a pitch meeting on this movie. ❤
Spotting a pitch meeting in the first minute is TIGHT!

John Travolta's life work
It's funny; I never knew that the guy writing this movie was also the Scientology creator. Explains why and how Travolta ended up in that dumpsterfire of a movie
@@kuzzbillington6392He wanted this movie to be made when he was young enough to be the hero. It was his passion project. He spent his own money to make sure the movie was made. Kelly Preston was also briefly in the movie.
@@kuzzbillington6392 Even Cruise wasn't stupid enough to get onboard
@@attiasprouse682 I assumed he would've spent his life savings for this movie so I believe it
I read the book when I was a kid back in the 80's, it was quite good for the time. As an adult though my rating would be a lot worse, it has a ton of plot holes, convenient things happening, dodgy characters etc., but the core idea of the story is still entertaining.
The writing is terrible
Yeah, I read this as a teenager in the 80's as well. For a teenager, it was entertaining. As an adult, it was very... meh.
I was a teenager in the 90's and loved this book. Started reading it again in my late 30's and gave up partway through. There's been a handful of books like that.
One time it actually happened the other way around. I read Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds on my eReader a few years back and loved it. Well towards the end I got deja-vu, went through my old scifi books and wouldn't you know I had bought and read it when it came out in 2000, had a flash memory of it not being anything special, but love it and it's whole universe now... go figure
As a kid in the 80s, this book was pretty darn popular. (Different times . . .) When the movie came out, I left the theatre wondering if the people who made the movie had actually read the book. Seriously. It's as if they made the movie based on third-hand accounts of the plot. So disappointed.
Asking Ryan for The Room Pitch Meeting 4 years in a row is TIGHT!
Seeing as how you're doing pitch meetings for classic bad movies!
He should do some more pitch meetings for some of the real old classics.
Like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, From here to Eternity, or Ben Hur. Or any of the many great movies made before 1970.
My parents said if I hit 40k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging!!!😅
ben hur
He addressed whether he was going to do the Room in the Q&A section of one of the Revisited videos (I don't remember which one, but I think it was one of the earlier ones he made). He basically said he might eventually, but he's not sure how he would do it.
@@christianellegaard7120 Or Kurozawa Akira's movies. The problem is that those movies are actually good, so making fun of them is more difficult than with hilariously bad movies.
There was no "heyshutup" in this because the entire pitch meeting would've been nothing but "heyshutup" in every exchange.
Or I I don’t care
Bingo!
Or "I don't know, I did ZERO research before writing this"
That slideshow at the end showed plenty of slides. AMAZING !!
"While you were learning how to spell your name, I was being trained to Pitch Meetings!!!"
"I'm a thespian, chief of security"
Oh, getting pitch meeting for something I’ve never heard of is tight!
Oh, this movie is a famous flop. Travolta did it because of his links with Scientology.
you know clone high, but you dont know battlefield earth? it was a HUGE box office bomb 2 years before clone high came out...
Oh, this movie is a famous flop. Travolta did it because of his links with Scientology.
Ohhhww, me pretending like I've watched this movie before so that I can comment in the comments section is TIGHT!!!
and good for you that you didn't
I been the ONLY person here asking for this movie to be a pitch meeting...
thank u Ryan :)
2nd and 3rd movies I want, then after that I won't be asking for anything else are Jeepers Creepers 3 and JC: Reborn.
Battlefield Earth was one of my favorite books when I was 13. I always wanted to see it made into a movie. When I was 22, I got my wish. This movie is one of the main things that started my descent into jaded adulthood. I still think the story could be made into an interesting TV series, but I don't really care anymore.
I read this book 3 or 4 times. I actually really enjoyed it. Then I excitedly went to see the movie when it came out. Haven't read the book since.
Didn’t know there was a book. I’ll check it out
I feel the same for Mission Earth. Great read. Could be made into an incredible NSFW series. But this movie ruined any chance of that.
Anything connected to L R Hubbard is connected to Scientology and that organization is radioactive. No way anybody would touch it now. And rightly so.
@@1aggiesrule You will be doomed. Don't do it.
"Very inobservant Psychlos!"
I don't know why this line made me laugh so hard 😂
I forgot this movie existed! Wow what a blast from the past.
I could see Johnny Goodboy being the name a dog-turned-man gives himself.
HE DID IT!!!!
Yes he did!! Not all heroes wear capes!
But is the world a better place?
No. The original movie still exists. =(
@@jamesanthony8438 You didn't see the directors cut? Apparently the main star did a back-flip, snapped the Bad guy's neck, and saved the day.
Yoooooo I added a comment to a pitch meeting years ago suggesting this movie. Glad to finally see it happen 😂😂😂
I can’t explain it, but that 3 weeks of vacationing in Chernobyl joke was perfect 🤣😭🔥
'They've been watching me.'
That might not be a joke after this pitch meeting.
Hahaha, but I don't think they are quite that sinister. More interested in their money machine than their critics. Reckless Ben has a UA-cam series where he infiltrated Scientology deeper than anyone else has gotten footage of (as far as I know), and pranked them afterwards in a very public and embarrassing way, but they didn't do much to him.
@@MandleRoss They have litereally ruined lives of people who mildly criticize them if those people are big enough. Even if they are mostly small they will sometimes reach out to attempt to intimidate them into shutting up.
They infiltrated the american government and stole tonnes of classified documents to blackmail people in an attempt to control the entire government (operation snow white, seriously I am not kidding)
Their church facilities are basically concentration camps to brainwash and kidnap anyone who tries to leave the "faith" and those people are literally held against their will and the police do nothing.
Please for the love of all that the free world holds dear research these monsters before you declare them mostly harmless. They are not just some goofy group of idiots obsessed with bottom tier sci fi novels they are actually dangerous and insanely malicious.
UHOH i'm going to need the scientologists to get ALL THE WAY OFF MY BACK
Truer than you realise
Scientology is falling apart. They don't have as many members as they claim.
the person, respinsible for all the dutch angles in that "movie" was asked, "why, and do you know what they mean" and he responded "i saw them (dutch angles, of course he did not know the term) in other movies and thought they just looked cool"
he was utterly clueless that dutch angles ONLY represent unease/tension, and just used them completely randomly instead.
That’s actually not true. The director is an award winning director (not for this movie of course) who had previously been a second unit director on Empire Strikes Back among others, and specifically said he was obsessed with how comic books utilized Dutch angles to add a sense of action/intrigue to the panels and that’s why he wanted it shot that way (as misguided as that was).
"....there was no one was around to unplug it." 😂😂
I laughed so long I nearly missed the fuel shelves joke.
I had to hit pause after that.
Surprised the entire pitch meeting wasn’t on a Dutch tilt.
HOLY MOTHER... Thank you. I didnt even know i was waiting for this pitch meeting.
The moment ryan looked actually pissed off, when hearing this!!😂: 3:12
Being early to a new Pitch Meeting is actually super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Rotten Tomatoes: 3% Critic, 13% Audience, lol.
The critic reviews are easy to fix. Just toss in some black LGBT characters and it's all 100% critic scores. Of course, it doesn't help with the audience scores but then we know that audiences are mostly alt-right sexists and white supremacists and must be ignored.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:38 - right there, for the briefest of moments... I was worried you were about to keep the rest of the Pitch meeting in Dutch angles (you know, about 95%) and was very thankful when I didn't see the executive also at that angle. Don't scare me like that, man. ;)
Question for your next revisited:
How close are we to 400 episodes?
The day has finally arrived. The ultimate pitch meeting.
Gotta love the giant KISS type boots the aliens wear so the look bigger.. were we supposed to notice that?
I'm glad that there's like a bajillion movies, so there's always opportunity for a pitch meeting!
The creators of that movie were so forward thinking that they made it so bad, so that people in the year 2024 would make a pitch meeting of it.
This is the first film that harvested all my organs and sold them on a black market so it was definitely a memorable experience.
I absolutely love how you read my comment specifically and started making pitches for older movies. Yep it was mine and all me and Ryan George. You can thank us both.
0:0:15 in and 'Hes not a Muppet..." just made me cackle like a bastard.
I thought he was going to say "That's the guy from Lord of the Ring!"
i swear, it's been more than 300 pitch meetings and "super easy barely an inconvenience" is still funny
