  • @umachan9286
    @umachan9286 4 роки тому +30

    Actually they wouldn't have been called "manimals" in the script for two reasons. The first is because in the novel, they are called "man animals". And secondly because it's considered one of the cardinal sins in $cientology to change or "squirrel" the words of L Ron Hubbard. That's grounds for some serious ethics violations or what the rest of the world would refer to as punishment.
    They got away with one example of it in this movie though and only because the original term used was racist. The sad creature that was in the learning machine called a "Clinko" was originally called a "Chinko" specifically named after the racist term used for Chinese people. L Ron Hubbard had a hatred of the Chinese and considered them sub-human.

      JFC, yet another reason to hate L Ron Hubbard. I prefer the Eric Andre idea that he was secretly a black man. Maybe Battlefield Earth should have been a Tyler Perry movie, although considering how bad Temptation was (other than Brian's lust for Brice), I don't think that would have been much of an improvement.

Fuck that I'll watch a few but no way am I watching the whole thing." I have literally wasted my entire work day watching this video 3x in its entirety.

    This has got to be one of the very best episodes of your show. With not one but two breakdowns that were gloriously entertaining concerning the Director of Photography and the "cavemen flying harriers". But you also as usual did a good job highlighting the underlying problems. Vanity projects like this can make for some of the most hilariously over-the-top movies given how you can feel the sense of importance just oozing off the screen at the same time failing so bad it's laughable and you can't help but wonder how even a number of the ideas actually made it through scripting.
    In that vain one I'd love to see you guys tackle on "GOOD BAD OR BAD BAD" one day is "HUDSON HAWK". The brainchild of Bruce Willis and the one story credit to his name...for a reason. Though I'm sure you must have at least heard of it by this point. It's just too insane and disjointed for words. I saw it for the first time recently and I immediately thought it was tailor-made for your show!
    Whatever the case, keep up the good work.

Afterwards he told John Travolta it was THE BEST movie he has EVER seen and that L.Ron Hubbard would be so happy it. As soon as the reviews came out he quickly blacklisted Travolta and declared the movie to be an "abomination" that had "no relation to Scientology what-so-ever"

    One brief comment: your thesis about cavemen flying fighter jets is obviously correct, but let me go a step further. I'm a former USAF pilot and the USMC Harrier pilots I've spoken with describe it as one of the most challenging and unforgiving aircraft to fly ever built, even for experienced pilots. It's accident rate tends to bear that out: of all the airplanes on Earth you couldn't teach yourself to fly, the Harrier is very close to the top of the list.

    I'm going to show my age but, oh well. There was a show in the 1980's called Manimal. Really. Check out IMBD, it has a 6.5 rating. I agree with you, I bet they did want to call the manimals, but probably didn't because of the show.
    I enjoy your videos!

      The book was written before manimal. If L Ron wanted to call them manimals he could have, he’s just a terrible writer and not creative enough to think of that.

    Battlefield Earth won multiple Razzie Awards throughout the 2000s
    In 2000 it “won”:
    Worst Picture
    Worst Director - Roger Christian
    Worst Actor - John Travolta as Terl (also for Lucky Numbers)
    Worst Supporting Actor - Barry Pepper as Johnny Goodboy Tyler (NOTE: Forest Whitaker, who plays Ker, was also a nominee in this category. And lost against him)
    Worst Supporting Actress - Kelly Preston as Chirk
    Worst Screen Couple - John Travolta and anyone unfortunate enough to share the screen with him
    Worst Screenplay - J.D. Shapiro and Corey Mandell
    In 2005 it “won” Worst Drama Movie of the Razzies’ 25 years
    In 2010 it “won” Worst Picture of the Decade, with J.D. Shapiro accepting the award and apologizing to the audience for writing Battlefield Earth.
    Btw, he hated doing that film

    I did a few "B" type films back in the late 80's that I thought were embarrassing until I watched "Battlefield Earth"! I played the (Demon) in the film "Demon Warrior" which was an attempt on cashing in on the slasher flicks of the 80's. I purposely hadn't watched the film you guys just reviewed, until today. This came about with recent popularity of "Scientology" bashing. Hence I came across your unique UA-cam site & subsequent review of the film "Battlefield Earth". Of which I agree is a steaming pile of excrement!
    Now back to my the film I was in "Demon Warrior". NOTICE how I didn't say that I "Acted In" the film! LOL I was curios if you would like to watch the film (I'm fairly sure you haven't viewed it), and do a review of it. I sort of want to compare the budget of $100,000 -vs- $73,000,000 for each of the respective films & your opinions.
    (At least I know that my film turned a respectable profit) you can find my in IMBD... {I can provide you with a copy of the film}
    balls in your court.... LEBIII

    For some reason when I heard John Travolta, I thought Tom Cruise and thus spent most of this in confusion trying to figure out where Tom Cruise was. I actually spent all of Tropic Thunder waiting on the Tom Cruise "cameo" and not realizing he was the agent, so I just assumed I was having a similar trouble here.

    person # 1 take a shot each time the camera tilts
    person # 2 takes a shot each time there's an ugly colored filter
    person # 3 take a shot each time someone says "man animal", "piece of cake" or any expression that is cringe worthingly inappropriate.
    person # 4 takes a shot each time there's bad CGI or day for night shots.

    Good bad, but not in the way “Plan Nine From Outer Space” is. Plan Nine you laugh at the special effects, absurd story, and terrible acting. “Battlefield Earth” you laugh at the plot holes, overly dramatic music (especially the scene when the horse gets killed, absolutely hilarious), Tavolta’s overacting, and of course, the cavemen in airplanes. Plus BE actually could have been made into a decent movie if it was done as a satire.
