The bad movies from the 90s still had some magic. Very few of them were truly unwatchable. Which makes me wonder: Is the industry nowadays even trying?
Matt Damon covered it pretty well in one of those "hot sauce interviews". He pointed out that studios and filmmakers could get away with releasing "bad" movies back in the day because any losses at the box office would be recovered through home video/dvd sales, and that streaming has effectively killed that model off, forcing studios to be more risk averse and go for projects that will make billions at the box office.
@@dungeonsanddobbers2683 It's not just streaming, we also have more content and social media can spoil things. Back in the day we bought VHS/DVD's without knowing if the movie was good just by looking at the cover and reading the back of the case. It helped if a famous actor/actress was on the cover.
I personally like "Spawn" and "Eon Flux" because of their original stories and at the time, the special effects were above average... As you said several times, there were worse films at the time...
Man, I have no shame in admitting that I enjoyed most of these, despite (and sometimes, because) their awfulness! And I even learned about some that I haven't watched! Anyway, yes, milk this thing, mate, I'm here for it!
@@DarkVeghetta hahahahahaa. I've seen it several times myself. I'm not even sure if it's a "bad" movie per se. It's just genuinely such a batshit crazy movie. But the kangaroo mutant make up effects by Stan Winston are absolutely fantastic
It was based on a comic by Jamie Hewlett, who designed the Gorillaz characters. I remember being highly disappointed by it. Absolutely Nothing like the comic. Booga the kangaroo is not supposed to be retarded. The animated sequence in it uses the designs from the comic, which is the only cool part of the entire 90 minute DUMP!
Such a disappointment for one who had all the comics. Had a dog named Booga and people used to call me Tank Girl (pre movie) bc I made all my own clothes from rags and a shaved head with raggedy long bits. Actually I’m now 52 and I still have a shaved head with just a forelock and a long thin plait from a circle at the top of my skull. Getting old is no excuse to go straight and boring lol Gen X punx forever yo! 😂😂
Could be an interesting tragic hero. Never will be made tho, they don't make movies anymore where they can't cram in the stupidest joke possible for every second, which is antithetical to the gothic noir form
Man... You opened a memory with Invincible (2001) that movie was thrown into the forgotten bin of insignificance. I'm glad you unearthed such a gem! Good video!
If you really want to know what was going on in the producers minds when putting "Wild Wild West" together you need to check out the section of An Evening with Kevin Smith where he talks about working on a Superman script in the 90s, things will make a lot more sense!
@@LifeofSlicey1even Neil Gaiman had to deal with that producer obsessed with a giant spider. The guy wanted to add one to a possible Sandman movie back in the day.
I'm surprised you didn't include "Godzilla: Final Wars" in either of these videos. It's jam packed with 90's cool: - Martial Arts & Gun Fu - High Octane Action - Black trench coats & sunglasses - Techno & orchestral soundtrack - Futurism - Sword Fighting - Philosophy - Mysterious main lead - Sum 41
@@LifeofSlicey1"Wild Zero" (1999) is another Japanese cult film that I think you would enjoy. It's a zombie movie that features punk band Guitar Wolf, who are laughably cool.
Even the worst of "cool" movies atleast had some fun and ambition behind them. They take themselves completely seriously but being absolutely ridiculous, it's great. Unlike all the current day movies who are filled with quipping characters who seemingly don't want to be in there.
Funny how you started the list because Chow Yun Fat himself (particularly in 1989's The Killer) is basically The Godfather of the 90's Cool movie trend.
Yeah the creation of the "gun fu" genre including John Woo movies really kick started all the "cool 90s" trends here. Before this guns just mowed down bad guys or died instantly in cowboy style shootouts.
I see you're a relatively new content creator. This being one of your first few videos, I'd suggest to just keep up with this type of content! The second I found this video I automatically wanted more. Just wanted to let ya know this was very well made and you deserve more subscribers.
The exact content I've been looking for! I've been going through a big late 90's- early 00's phase recently. And the cheesier the film the better! I had no idea there was even a name for this genre. Thanks! Please make more videos like this!
Shockingly, this style doesn't have a name. So these videos are my attempt to group them together into the term "90s cool", which was said in a video by Jay from Redlettermedia. Thank you for the support!
More of this please. I want that xtreme 2000s documentary someday. I think harold and kumar parodied it. Extreme doritoes and Extreme soda and sports 😅
i specifically clicked on the chapters to see if you included Ghosts of Mars. Thank you, kind sir. It’s one of my favorite Pam Grier / Jason Stathem combos out there. Edit: Fun Fact: Assault on Precinct was actually Carpenter’s hard crime version of Night of the Living Dead
I love this series! 90s cool is a total guilty pleasure of mine, both good and bad. I feel like another movie that could have made this list was Swordfish. That has one of my favorite Travolta goofball performances ever
FANTASTIC! i just watched your tribute to the 90's yesterday and was mesmerized! you helped me remember such wonderful movies that i'll show to my gf, which is too young to have seen them. She absolutely loved the Matrix and now started to dress like Trinity. I was hoping for this video since you talked about making it, and i can't believe it's already here. much love man!
I'm floored by this comment. I really appreciate it man! Makes the grind to make this video worth it! I hope your girlfriend enjoys these kind of movies too.
Spawn soundtrack is probably my soundtrack to nineties. It is responsible for music I listen to until today. I managed to see that movie many, many years later, but that soundtrack was more hard and to certain extent futuristic then Matrix, XxX, or any other 90s/early 2000s movie.
As a huge Spawn fan, I can definitely say that the movie was trash. The acting was awful, the tone was inconsistent, extremely cringey cutscenes, and the horrendous CGI. The old stop-motion monsters from Willis O'Brian and Ray Harryhausen films look so much better than bad CGI Malbogia (who looks more like Kermit the Frog with a wig made of pubes).
alone in the dark in the video has background music from house of the dead!which fun fact was another awfull uwe boll "horro" movie but an awesome game..great video!
10:34 Guy Ritchie's 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' is pretty good. 11:12 Have you seen the original from the '70s? 12:34 Speaking of Dennis Hopper, have you seen Space Truckers? 16:04 It was originally going to be based on the first game which was set in the 1920s and leaned heavily into a Lovecraft influence. Uwe Boll shot down that idea because he makes video game-based movies lame on purpose. He's capable of making competent movies, though. It's only too bad that's not this primary modus operandi. 18:41 Or in the words of Bruce Campbell: "I'll catch ya on the flip-flop."
So upset i have not found your channel sooner!!! your deep dive is straight forward and accurate. you dont talk to fast. you just enjoy the breakdown and offer it to us. cant say thank you enough. im 34. just subbed gonna watch all you have. thank you!!!
these 2 videos are just great! i'd love to see you talk about 90s cool in videogames, stuff like Oni (2001), Psi-Ops, Max Payne, 10.000 Bullets and so on and so forth
Spawn is cool as fuck, a cult classic. I only clicked on the video because of the thumbnail, I thought: "Spawn in a movies best left forgotten list? You have to be fucking kidding me!"
Thank you for not including Judge Dredd 1995 in the list despite it being in the opening sequence. It's not a great movie but it's one of my absolute guilty pleasures...
Keep going. Great videos. 90s Cool forever. I am a teacher and when I look at kids they often look like straight out of my high school time in the 90s with oversized shirts and trousers, belly bottom free ladies shirts, boot cut trousers, beige and black colours, grunge look the list goes on and we are straight in a 90s craze. I think most young people don’t know it.
This pair of movie lists is incredible. Well done! I notice the clip from Fallen (2008), one my unironic favorites among the bad ones, but that's OK, I get why it's there. You may have heard of these, but if you haven't you might be interested: Razor Blade Smile (1998) is like Underworld on a micro-budget. Diva (1981) is sort of a precursor, very stylized but missing a lot of the elements like double guns and alternative rock.
The fact that you went through the entire two parts of this video without mentioning the Monolith of 90s Cool, Godzilla Final Wars, a movie that could have very easily topped both lists, is shocking.
Great video, mate! I have to admit I haven't seen many of these movies, but their clichés and tropes are so obvious to people who grew up in the 90s that I can't help but sort of feel I did watch them all, heh.
Darn… I was hoping to hear you rip into Queen of the Damned. Great soundtrack and… not a whole lot else except unintentional laughter. I only saw Mortal Kombat: Annihilation because I was hanging out with a friend, and he stopped in front of the theater and told me he was going in to watch it. I couldn’t believe how terrible it looked even at the time. But what else should I have expected from a movie whose tagline is “Destroy All Expectations?”
Giant spider robot in Wild Wild West was actually taken from cancelled Tim Burton's Superman Lives movie, where it's producer Jon Peters insisted that Superman would fight with a giant spider robot in it's climax.
Hahaha Awesome list. Just subscribed imediately. (Even the almost entires are spot on) I would had imagined 'Matrix 2 or 3' on here as well, but hey! Big fan here. Keep this stuff coming
Thanks man. I like the Matrix 2. 3 was disappointing, but I still think its a decent movie. I'm going to talk about them at some point in a "special mentions" video.
Oh man, thanks for doing this. I understand nostalgia, and I never want to shit on someone's childhood, or someone else' happy memory from that time period, but A LOT of the 90s didn't age well at all. I'm not sure what was worse, the Crow/Matrix inspired rip-offs or the Tarantino rip-offs. Or... the combination of both like Prophecy.
A recommended topic Edgy 2000s looking anime Notable things about it are its heavy use in dark shading being overly violent and dealing with heavy themes and having a somewhat gothic artstyle Examples Gatnz Gilgamesh Texhnolyze Vampire hunter D Ghost in shell standalone complex The animatrix Blood plus Blood type c Hellsing ultimate Black lagoon Death note Afro samurai
Many of these "coolbad" movies also had terrible licensed video games to go with them filling up the Blockbuster store shelves, that have most definitely been purged from most gamers' memory banks.
This list was so accurate! i absolutely loved this video! i think im gonna watch Wild Wild West tonight, i've been thinking about it for months now, and im taking this video as a sign.
I gotta say I was ready to spew some hateful things over this video but seeing you did your research and have a love for these movies, I’ll let it slide. Double Team is my favorite, I always watch it when it’s on you will never see a movie again with a basketball star, Mickey Rourke and John Claude Van Damme again! You forgot one, Space Truckers, it came out in ‘96 it has a lot of well known actors in it, Stephen Dorff, Charles Dance, Dennis Hopper and Debi Mazar and it should have been on your list, specifically for the sex scene in it, it’s hilarious!
I'm with you on many of these choices but it makes me sad to see such disrespect for Dracula 2000. I loved that movie when it came out. In fact, it's one of the few movies I went to see twice at the theater! It's also the movie that out Gerard Butler on the map for me. The Crow: Wicked Prayer definitely sucks badly, though. Oh, and now I need to track down Invincible. I definitely need to see that.
I thought that Dracula 2000 might ruffle some feathers. I felt it didn't go hard enough on the horror, or the action, and felt a little bland. There are good ideas in the movie though.
What a great list. This is gonna sound hipster asf but once you watch enough good movies you genuinely get an appetite for bad movies that just try as hard as they can to be cool. It's weirdly spectacular
Interesting to see I missed most of these, some even feel like classics. It's fun to go back and watch some of the oldschool dreck and feel the goofy 90's vibes
Great video! I was a teen in the late 90's. Eveyone has their different tastes or style that suit them. So I'm glad these movies bring joy or laughter to some. But for me.. After The Matrix '99 (hell, also before The Matrix '99), I was already very much over 90s cool. The bleed over into the 2000's was just painful. I would say 90s Cool was 90% torture, 5% laughs, 5% boredom. Your two best jokes were (1) Needle in a needle stack, and (2) Have only so much disbelief to suspend. !!! Now dat's comedy! Later, dude.
Thanks for the feedback, especially on he jokes. Not sure how they land haha. I was a young kid-teen from the late 90s-2000s, so I never had the chance to be sick of it.
i remember seeing trailers for invincible on tv. i was so exited when it aired! it looked so awesome...i also remember being extremely dissapointed...like devil may cry 2 disappointed
It's ironic that you are going to talk about videogames next, i was thinking the exact same thing, the 90's cool phenomenom just didn't limit to live action movies, videogames and even animated movies and tv shows benefited from the 90's cool features too
The Spawn movie is a guilty pleasure of mine and Micheal Jai White should've been a bigger star. The Spoony "Betrayal" was a nice touch.
I love him too and I can’t help that he’ll always be Black Dynamite to me!
Hay, at least we got him streaming and straight to video, and his work their is way better then average then what we get on those platforms. Besides, I don't think movie stars exist anymore and the movie industry as we knew it is dying do to change in the media environment.
Spoony is my favorite OG content creator. Still holding out hope he will make a comeback.
He's been doing some streams with the actor for Curtis in Phantasmagoria 2

I'd say culturally the 90s died on sept 11 2001 though a few movies and games still in production came out a few years after that.

And I even learned about some that I haven't watched!

Bruh great video. The whole time I was basically the Rick Dalton meme, each one better than the last lol That brings me right back to my childhood
Visualizing someone doing the "Rick Dalton" thing to this video made me laugh. Thanks for the support man!
Playing drinking games with friends to these older cheesy movies is so fun lol
10:30 and ofcourse it's Gerard Butler as Dracula
Oh man. My whole childhood. I used to love a lot of these. I recently rewatched Ultraviolet (a household fav) and BOI HOWDY
Giant spider robot in Wild Wild West was actually taken from cancelled Tim Burton's Superman Lives movie, where it's producer Jon Peters insisted that Superman would fight with a giant spider robot in it's climax.
The inclusion of it in the film was a bizzare choice.
@@anubusx yeah, but that's what you get when you make a soulless remake of an old tv show
Hahaha Awesome list. Just subscribed imediately. (Even the almost entires are spot on)
I would had imagined 'Matrix 2 or 3' on here as well, but hey! Big fan here. Keep this stuff coming
Thanks man. I like the Matrix 2. 3 was disappointing, but I still think its a decent movie. I'm going to talk about them at some point in a "special mentions" video.
@@LifeofSlicey1 Cool looking forward to more awesome Y2K content;)
Even the worst 90s song, film, series is far better than todays stuff.
Oh man, thanks for doing this. I understand nostalgia, and I never want to shit on someone's childhood, or someone else' happy memory from that time period, but A LOT of the 90s didn't age well at all. I'm not sure what was worse, the Crow/Matrix inspired rip-offs or the Tarantino rip-offs. Or... the combination of both like Prophecy.
Respctually disagree with the “spy kids” and “queen of the damned” but def did your channel and love what you do! 😊
I was a huge Spawn fan when the movie came out, and even as a kid I thought it sucked. 😢
OH GOD! How can Highlander the Source NOT be #1 Worst?! Uwe Boll is one thing but... ugh... (Still, good vid, subscribed)
a video on 90's cool videogames would be great
A recommended topic
Edgy 2000s looking anime
Notable things about it are its heavy use in dark shading being overly violent and dealing with heavy themes and having a somewhat gothic artstyle
Examples
Gatnz
Gilgamesh
Texhnolyze
Vampire hunter D
Ghost in shell standalone complex
The animatrix
Blood plus
Blood type c
Hellsing ultimate
Black lagoon
Death note
Afro samurai
I'm going to tackle the anime eventually.
Ahh this video kicked right in the feelings. Subscribed immediately lol
Thanks for this list, this was HIGHLY entertaining 😆💯the Dennis hopper scene killed me with a cringe 🤦🏾♀️🤣
1:40 YES! KATANAS, BLACK LEATHER and VAMPIRES!
Many of these "coolbad" movies also had terrible licensed video games to go with them filling up the Blockbuster store shelves, that have most definitely been purged from most gamers' memory banks.
Absolutely f**king awesome :D Great job
Thanks for sticking around from the last video Barry! Appreciate the support.
This list was so accurate! i absolutely loved this video! i think im gonna watch Wild Wild West tonight, i've been thinking about it for months now, and im taking this video as a sign.
I gotta say I was ready to spew some hateful things over this video but seeing you did your research and have a love for these movies, I’ll let it slide. Double Team is my favorite, I always watch it when it’s on you will never see a movie again with a basketball star, Mickey Rourke and John Claude Van Damme again! You forgot one, Space Truckers, it came out in ‘96 it has a lot of well known actors in it, Stephen Dorff, Charles Dance, Dennis Hopper and Debi Mazar and it should have been on your list, specifically for the sex scene in it, it’s hilarious!
When people make videos saying to forget these types of movies is inept to me because these movies are my whole childhood.
The only reason why I remember Ultraviolet is because I used to watch the Final Fantasy VII movie trailer on the DVD trailer menu all the time. Lol
Omg yes i just watched the best yesterday and i have a little bit of time before work!
The studio executive impression had me weak😂😂😂
Thanks for the support man!
I'm with you on many of these choices but it makes me sad to see such disrespect for Dracula 2000. I loved that movie when it came out. In fact, it's one of the few movies I went to see twice at the theater! It's also the movie that out Gerard Butler on the map for me.
The Crow: Wicked Prayer definitely sucks badly, though.
Oh, and now I need to track down Invincible. I definitely need to see that.
I thought that Dracula 2000 might ruffle some feathers. I felt it didn't go hard enough on the horror, or the action, and felt a little bland. There are good ideas in the movie though.
What a great list. This is gonna sound hipster asf but once you watch enough good movies you genuinely get an appetite for bad movies that just try as hard as they can to be cool. It's weirdly spectacular
Well ...sometimes you just want to get wasted...😂😂😂
@@cmbaz1140 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the most famous line from MK Annihilation: Yeah, Busta!
Well done Sir. You got yourself a new subscriber👍
Much appreciated! Welcome to the world of 90s cool.
I was expecting Morbius to be here since you mentioned it in your previous but still a good list!
If I ever make a "worst of post-90s cool" list, trust me, it's morbin' time.
17:08
Oh my god, yes! I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid...
The "We have the Matrix at home" of movies.
Interesting to see I missed most of these, some even feel like classics. It's fun to go back and watch some of the oldschool dreck and feel the goofy 90's vibes
Bulletproof Monk is awesome
Great video!
I was a teen in the late 90's. Eveyone has their different tastes or style that suit them. So I'm glad these movies bring joy or laughter to some.
But for me.. After The Matrix '99 (hell, also before The Matrix '99), I was already very much over 90s cool. The bleed over into the 2000's was just painful.
I would say 90s Cool was 90% torture, 5% laughs, 5% boredom.
Your two best jokes were (1) Needle in a needle stack, and (2) Have only so much disbelief to suspend. !!! Now dat's comedy!
Later, dude.
Thanks for the feedback, especially on he jokes. Not sure how they land haha. I was a young kid-teen from the late 90s-2000s, so I never had the chance to be sick of it.
Ballistics, Invincible, Mod Squad, Avengers, Roller and MK Anihilation....... Sir you just opened up alot of trauma😅😅😅
THAT LAST VIDEO WAS DOOOPE
(edit: NOT TANK GIRL NOOOO! Lol)
Thanks bro. Sorry about Tank Girl.
@@LifeofSlicey1 lol i totally get it. love the Lost Boys génesis theory. So accurate
i remember seeing trailers for invincible on tv. i was so exited when it aired! it looked so awesome...i also remember being extremely dissapointed...like devil may cry 2 disappointed
I think we were all that way as kids. In fairness, I loved Invincible... just not for its quality.
It's ironic that you are going to talk about videogames next, i was thinking the exact same thing, the 90's cool phenomenom just didn't limit to live action movies, videogames and even animated movies and tv shows benefited from the 90's cool features too
Tank Girl and Spawn were both great.
😂
