"We're the winners from Cleveland."
"There's no such thing, kid."
You could feel that burn from the moon.
But is she saying there's no such thing as Cleveland, or no such thing as winners from Cleveland.
@@erikbjelke4411 The latter.
Who else randomly came across this channel one day and now can't stop watching Good bad Flicks videos
Happened to me.
Yep, easily in my top 10 and I sub to about 200 channels 😄
Not random movie review channels gave me this recommendation.
I'm hooked for sure
I'm saying maybe 100% of people here, just a guess
As a born and raised clevelander that “no such thing kid” line is amazing and im going to track down this movie just because of it
"There are better things to waste your money on." I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
The small door is called a wicket gate. They existed for several reasons. They could be opened and closed more quickly. It was also easier to control entry as only one person could enter at a time. An example of a use would be you close the gates for the evening. If anyone shows or leaves after rather than open the big gate you just open the wicket gate.
And the period they were made in, people were not as tall. 5' 5" was average height.
And also people coming in were defenseless.
The comment below yours says they’re called a sallyport.
I also imagine it to come in handy in case of negotiations with enemies. Instead of opening the big gate and exposing a weak point to the enemy, you could step out, get the parley over with and get back in. Easier to defend.
@@patross60 This is a significant part of the reason. Wicket gates were for convenience but could be forced open. Making it smaller than even the average height made it almost impossible to properly fight through so you had someone waiting with a heavy weapon to bash them as they tried to force it. Same reason for the construction of castle tower stairs. They were designed to make it MUCH harder to fight upward than downward for people with a dominant right hand.
Medieval fortress designers had a looooong time to perfect their craft.
He mentioned how much Adam Ant looks like a young Billy Crystal. I remember Billy Crystal doing a comedy music video where he dressed up as Adam Ant complete with the British sailor belly shirt
I don't know anything about this movie and I swore that was AA on the cover hahhaha
"Spellcaster sounds like a movie Charles Band would produce."
Produce by Charles Band
"Damn, I'm good"
Man, 80s and 90s Charles Band was PEAK! His stuff was so good. I'm sure Good Bad Flicks knows about it, but the book "It Came From the Video Aisle" is an awesome book all about Charles Band, Empire, and Full Moon.
The Cleveland thing cuts deep. The pain is real.
In Germany, the small door was used as a nighttime security device after city gates are closed. Anyone wishing to enter in late had to crawl through, putting themselves in a vulnerable position to guards who could easily question and quickly kill an unwanted outsider. I've also heard of this being called The Eye of the Needle, in reference to the Biblical quote.
The little door is a sallyport. It was used to allow people in and out of the castle without having to open the big doors every time. It was also used to send out soldiers during a siege to conduct night attacks and counterattacks, hence the term "sally forth."
huh, neat!
Cool
Damn, beat me to it.
@@khornethegrim8258 Oh, sure! 😆
Just kdding. I honestly didn't know that, which is one of the reasons I love to chck out the comments section.
Or...it could be for hobbitses...

Tiny doors in the big doors are common among firehouse, hangars, and bay doors in general, and it would seem castles. Just a much more ergonomic and easy way to pass through said large doorways designed for bigger vehicles. Less wear and tear on heavy duty hinges I'd imagine too.
Great video as always.
This should have been called, "Death Chair: The Chair That Eats." - a spin off of Death Bed
This movie makes much more sense than Death Bed: The Bed That Eats
I like the look of the film stock here. It's really cool-looking.
I was having a really rough night. Seeing a new video from you got me excited and changed my mood. Thank you
You are very welcome! Hope things get better :)
Big door is for wagons and horses. Also, just to look imposing. Small door for people on foot. It's very short so you have bend down so the guards can whack you in the back of the head if you weren't invited in.
Ive been to that castle its Castello Odescalchi in Bracciano it is quite close to Rome, it is my favorite place to visit in Italy, their medieval armor, weapons and clothes exhibit is awesome, plus they let you look your self in 14th century mirror and there are several cool legends the guide tells on the tour that add real flavor to the visit
I've never seen it but I knew right away those were top-notch John Carl Buechler effects. It's a wonder he made so many awesome creatures on those lower budgets. Bless him. One of his earlier jobs was on Mausoleum (1983) where he designed a wonderful female demon with little demon heads for tits and that's how it kills some victims. Cheesy as hell but incredibly entertaining, and the woman who turns into the demon is drop dead gorgeous. Must-see!
I was like "NO WAY that's 1992..." and then saw it's shot in 1986 and that makes more sense. Can't believe I never heard of this one but it IS quite obscure.
At the end when you called out MTV for endless marathons of Ridiculousness, I was like "No shit".
I knew I recognized Richard Blade! He's still a DJ on Sirius XM's 1st Wave channel. His voice is iconic!
I’ve been trying to remember the name of this movie for YEARS! The only thing I remembered about it was the demon disappearing from the painting and coming to life. Couldn’t even find any info by Googling!
lol I just got the "winners from Cleveland" joke. Great video Cecil!
I was trying to figure out who was playing "Cassandra Castle" [she looked familiar]
Then you mentioned the a-ha video & I said "That's where I know her from!"
Her name is Bunty Bailey. Another great video, just wanted to tell you that
"I love your channel".
Thanks!
"Eurotrash Tony" !!! That was classic 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
I loved Spellcaster back in the day. I watched it on Cinemax. Plus I support the beautiful & Detroit's own Gail O'Grady she was my pick for Sue Storm for a 90's Fantastic Four.
I recall seeing that vhs cover when my family and me used to rent movies. It's making me feel nostalgic.
Well, that's a coincidence. I just got through reading Adam Ants autobiography, and he mentions this film. Very very briefly.
"I just got through reading Adam Ants autobiography..." just might be the most intriguingly whacky thing I've heard in a while. How was it?
@@PoeInTheDitch It's okay. Like many celebrity autobiographies, the first half where he is struggling for success is interesting, but the second half where he is rich and famous is a bit dull. He seems keen to tell us about all the women he has slept with, and he does seem to have slept with all the women.
I love your humor, you always make me laugh when i watched these. And i also really enjoy your exploring series, love learning the story behind how a movie was created, and you are really great at providing fun little extra facts about certain actors etc. I even like the sound of your voice. Great work sir, its a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much! New Exploring video monday!
Hey, the DJ is Richard Blade! I listened to him for years on KROQ in SoCal. He's on Sirius First Wave now. I bet this movie is a proud memory for him.
Spellcaster had some cool kills and i now know the name of a movie i liked from the 90's that i saw once and couldn't forget some of the scenes!
I can't believe you missed this opportunity at 04:53. "The guys stop the car and ANOTHER COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR EXPLODES!"
Sometimes after watching the same footage over and over it all blurs lol
the armor ghost knight was also Resident-esque. Salazar's armors in RE4 are pretty much like the movie, spider-like creature inside their helms too!
used to watch this as a kid. Love it.
Drinking game time....every time the word castle is said or shown on screen you have to take a drink, I'll go first.
....and my liver just left my body.
Drink of choice for the castle party?
Royal Crown cola.
Each time you show the castle lady singing she reminds me so much of the pop singer Sia, but before she came to America, back when she sang without hiding her face like on her first couple albums
I’m currently reading Charles Band’s memoir. So fun to see the castle pop up in this today
FINALLY!!!! Someone else that has seen this flick!!! I thought I was the only one
This one slipped past me at the time, but I love the peak 80's look of it. I also love how back then "stocky" was the same thing as fat. No being big unless its with roided out muscles!
I love this movie since I saw it on classic Super Channel like twenty years ago. It’s on Tubi now, but I’ve been hunting for a DVD for years!
Never seen this one. Will have to check out. A very 80s movie
And here I was thinking wow, the VJ from Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is playing another VJ, he's really good at it...well no wonder, he was an actual VJ and DJ XD
More than just the dog attack, the suit of armor attack scene reminded me a lot of the suit of armor Las Plagas from Resident Evil 4.
I was so in love with Traci Lind as a youth
Same. Had a crush after I went to see Fright Night 2.
@@13strigoi69 I love a woman who can speed read Dracula
Holy shit. He DOES look like Billy Crystal. Now I can't unsee it. (Yes Im old.)
The tiny door in the big door is to hinder the entrance to possible attackers.
Tiny door in Big Door, it was because big door to heavy oponned all the time and big door is horses and big group of people. Tiny door is for one or maybe two people and day to day use.
The reason for the small door in big door is the same as why you have to pull up those pins to open the both sides of a double door; sometimes something bigger than a single person needs to enter.
"Diabolee then uses his platform to steal men's souls and make them his slaves!"
I can't be the only one who thinks this would make a *_much_* more interesting concept to explore than the movie we actually got.
You have to ask yourself, "What is a man?"
@@NuminaXLT A miserable pile of secrets, that's what!
I think Cassandra was based on Bananarama. Their drinking was so legendary it inspired Absolutely Fabulous.
Also: So Adam Ant is the devil in this and his ex-girlfriend is an evil snake priestess in another film
I wonder if this was Adam's attempt to be a David Bowie in Labyrinth type situation.
Loved the Symphony of the night reference 👍
This is why I love your channel. This movie looks like my kind of jam, but had never heard of it. Thank you!
You are welcome!
I'm thrilled for all those Full Moon guys who got poached by Disney and got bigger paydays. Also surprised Yuzna and Gordon were part of that group
I swear the VJ in this movie is the the same VJ in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! lol 😂
I was just thinking How have I not seen this before? Then I realized it was uploaded 5 hours ago.🤔
Oh shit I can't unsee young Billy crystal now haha
There's also a touch of Faust in this story (selling your soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge, fame or power).
Big doors are heavy to open. Europe builds solid stuff. A door is made of thick and solid wood with thick and solid steel braces. Opening the miniature variant is way mor convenient 😅
Charles Band got so much mileage out of this castle in the 90s...
Can you blame him? lol
One of those hidden gems I walked past at the videostore. Great reviewand I really wish I'd seen it back then.
I love how the luger having none of the shit from the blank and refuses to cycle. Maybe it was the last round, but who's loading only one cartridge?
"You're the winners from Cleveland. No such thing kid."
True 30 years later.
The tiny door is a thing because you don’t want to open the big gathe every time someone wants to come in. It is tiny because people in the medieval times where really short.
speaking of the TV Show castle, how the heck did Nathan and Stana stand each other for FIVE seasons? they hated each other's guts!
The big door is for horses. The little door is for regular use. We still use similar double doors on garages, sheds, and barns. Old fire stations like in Ghostbusters had them for the ladder trucks.
I had not heard of this Band production before. Coolness. I'm almost done showing SOAP, starring a young Billy Crystal, to a couple of friends of mine.
(14:22) Yep. I remember when my friends and I would chill and watch MTV in the 80s when it actually had music videos. Man, cable TV used to be so fun. 😕
by this point I think anything you can think of, has already been turned into a movie
Traci Lind a personal favorite of mine too.
I'm so glad someone else noticed the Adam Ant bore a resemblance to Billy Crystal.. I thought the exact same thing when I first saw one of his videos in the 80s
Nice symphony of the night line at the end
Knowing all those names, I've gotta see this movie now!
Well done, Cecil!!! I'm a fan of Charles Band's work, so keep up the great work...
Glad I bought the blue Ray from Vinegar Syndrome before it went out of print. It's a fun horror movie 🎥
Its a Piaggo Ape, when i am not wrong, funny little vehicle 1:40
Piaggio
"3 minutes later", low key but I got a good laugh.
Holy shit. This whole thing was vaguely familiar but not until the chair are a gal did I remember this movie. Man I've seen this twice at my dad's a couple years apart as a kid, and never knew the name of it until now. Heh thanks man.
You are welcome!
2:32 had me laughing so hard !
Epic !
I visited this castle a few years ago. It was pretty cool. Thats my story.
This looks like a pretty entertaining movie.
Cecil, caught you in In Search of Darkness II on Shudder! Nice to put a face with a voice.
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed the doc, we're currently filming part 3 now :)
@@GoodBadFlicks Enjoyed it very much. Look forward to part 3. Thank you for all the cool content!
Take a shot every time Cecil says...
"hey we're the winners from Cleveland"
"no such thing kid"
I think Lebron James would flop at that line!
Once the chair ate someone, I thought for SURE the baddy would be Fatso. That would be a great twist villain!
They say every time you don't do a Chuck Norris video, most importantly Invasion USA, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks a baby.
hahahaha, that's not even the same car exploding at 4:56; they stopped in Ford Sierra and then detonated some old (probably defunct) station wagon I honestly can't recognize.
You could say Cassandra went on to become…a goody two shoes. Whoa!
lol
Anyone else here like to see an Exploring on Pumpkinhead?
And yes I'm being relentless 😆
Okay, the tiny door inside the big door thing is because the big door is opened for major events that will have a large number of people going in and out, while the little door is just for individuals and small groups. Hey, it takes a lot of effort to open and close the big door, and it'll let a lot of heat in/out when it gets opened too. Castles like that don't have central heating and air, so you've got to do what you can to keep the temperature under control.
I think this is the first time I have heard Cecil curse.
You can hear more swearing in my older videos before UA-cam starting demonetizing you if you did it too much.
The Scout with Albert Brooks, Dianne Wiest holding together the baseball rockstar that is a abandoned child in Mexico? A slightly insane but young and gorgeous Brendan Fraser. Must be the movie that makes the most genre turns of any movie I have ever seen. At any moment it could be a completely different movie. But Albert Brooks is the master of holding a movie together. With his kindly deprecation alone.
Cecil, the small door is called a wicket gate, or simply a wicket
(0:33) Don't you know? At the time, flapping arms meant..."OooOOooOOooo! I'm maaaagical!" 😜 It still might for some people. 😉
Rex also played the DTV Host on Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Adam Ant looks like Seamus Deaver.
when the video started i kept saying to myself, that singer looks familiar to me. when you said she is the girl from Ah ha, i was ah ha thats where i have seen her. i have to watch this movie just for her.
The small door is a wicket gate or just wicket. They were built into gate walls of towns or castle walls outside. The big doors were for several people going out or to let through wagons. The wicket was one person wide and was for a few one or a few people. Being easier to open for small foot traffic and to also allow small foot traffic through during siege. You didn't want to have the big heavy doors open while being attacked.
The first boss in Dark Souls 3 is totally the same concept to monster that kills Rex. It seems like this movie was quite influential among Japanese game developers
Jeez, first Nazis, then killer puppets, now the devil. Stockfootagestan sounds like a really dangerous place
