CHANNEL AWESOME: channelawesome....
that 2020s mullet joke was an incredibly accurate prediction
Update: The reason everyone has mullets after the year 2020 is because we've all got to cut our own hair.
😆😆😆
Accurate
I'm lucky, I just shave my head so doing it at home is super easy.
The ship is a lady HALO ??? The game??
It’s literally “ a good hairstyle” now. I find it so funny when I see kids with mullets
My buddy gushed about how this was the scariest film he ever saw, and then years later when I finally tracked down a bootleg he disavowed any knowledge of saying anything about it. Obviously he was the devil.
😈
Jabronies do that. It's called gaslighting.
Dam Jabroni.
Lmao
Brandon predicted the return of the mullet.
Mullets never left, hoser
Happy to inform you a Blu-ray version was released last year, so rejoice!
We now live in the future of this movie now!
It’s about to be 2022, can’t wait to hear the news of a space ship fighting the devil
@@blankspace178 well what is it? Devils fighting space ships?
3:48 "Something's out there... it's coming right at us!"
"That's the MOON, dummy!"
Oh, great, who let Skull Kid in on the mission?
Well, it got one thing right, mullets are making a comeback in the 2020s.
0:24 "I'm gonna be doing a lot of knock offs this year, aren't I"
Said every Hollywood studio and director that can't come up with original ideas anymore
"Said every Hollywood studio and director." - - Fixed that for you. 8^)
@@timberry4709 I don't see the difference
still accurate today, which is sad
@@carrierafalski4145 there isnt one, and the original comment doesnt even say "edited" so it wasnt changed
Leslie's line dissing the devil was a winner
WHOA. Watching this one for the first time...and it's 2022.
1:52 that mullet comment aged beautifully
1:16 OH SHIT, ITS ALMOST TIME GUYS!
Little did Brandon know that in early 2020, Tiger King is a thing that started the great mullet trend that lasted to early 2023.
The shuttle in this movie is bigger on the inside than the outside, so it's a Dr. Who ripoff.
And then Dr. Who did a better rip-off of this movie in 2006.
Satans Pit
There's a BLURAY out there since 2019. It looks great.
Watching this in 2023 is even funnier.
It's 2021 and the Steyr AUG still looks like a future gun.
I remember streaming this movie ages ago; I get that spooky spaces have certain rules, but whoever wrote/directed this movie took a *lot* of artistic license when it came to the space shuttle interiors XD. I do recall (after the whole Bermuda Triangle/Devil reveal) thinking that it actually would have been a great plot point for the characters to point out that the shuttle was way too big on the inside and explain/handwave it as an effect of the Triangle.
Also Joe Turkel is a legend he is 93 years old and still alive, guess he never left the hotel in the shinning ever
This one was finally released on blu ray and i must say its very underrated. Saw it last night and yes its an alien ripp off but the story is very unique and the acting is well done especially by joe turkel, this is a hidden sci fi horror gem for sure much like screamers and sunshine is!
What’s funny is the mullet did make a comeback in the 2020s
Mullets will never die. They're a stable of hairstyles.
Fun fact: Joe Turkle will be 91 next month (posting in June of 2018)
"Tell mah truck nuts i luv them!"
I kept expecting the cast of red dwarf to wander in on their set
at least the moon isn't an egg 🤭
As a Barber in Philly I can confirm that mullets DID come back in the 2020s
Gateway to Hell in deep space. Anyone else think of Doom?
NickySHedgehog16 actually I thought Event Horizon
Pardon me for asking, but what is Event Horizon? Is it a movie or video game?
Movie from 1997
Sounds better than the Doom movie we got.
I thought of that "Doctor Who" episode "Impossible Planet" and the other part (can't recall the name of that episode). If the writer of that saw this movie then they either intentionally ripped it off, or they saw it, forgot and and didn't realize they were ripping it off.
13:45-13:50, best moment in the review and probably the original film. Laughed out loud deep and hearty.
5:40
"Let's just say [I need to use the computer]"
What a bizarre line. If I said "Let's just say I need to go grocery shopping," you would immediately assume I'm doing anything other than grocery shopping.
This movie blew my mind as a kid! I found this in the scifi/horror back area of a vhs movie rental place called "Price Busters" lol they had a 5 movies for 5 days for 5 bucks deal..My ma rushed me so I couldn't find a good 5th movie so I grabbed this..anyways my little 10 year old curious mind attached to this and left me in wonder lol..watched this a few years ago and WOW! Cheese ball city hahaha..still a classic tho! But it ain't no "Prince of Darkness"
Having someone who literally looks like dexter the serial killer do movie reviews is awesome
Also love when Giles says, "This is th weirdest suicide I've ever seen!".....What?!?!?!...😂😂😂
Seen lotsa suicides, have we? And this is th "weirdest" one.. That's fkn hysterical!! Love crazy oddball lines like that...
This is one of the first movies I've seen you review that I've actually seen before (Godzilla films notwithstanding). In a lot of ways it's a precursor to Event Horizon. For some reason I kinda like the idea of the devil in space and the effects aren't all that bad.
With regards to your question as to why God doesn't intervene, I wonder that in any movie where the devil actually shows up. Come to think of it, the only movie that actually addresses this is Rock and Roll Nightmare. It's kind of scary when you realize that John Mikl Thor speaks for all of us.
You know that computer was designed by the Japanese.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Where are the animal ears?
It has the looks of some Dr.Who episodes. Studio light look.
Mmm, I dunno; it's neither a schoolgirl nor a tentacle monster.
401 "Here's hoping they find Matilda May in there", You know, you should review Lifeforce!
*buys Event Horizon Bluray*
*sees cover of that exact same Bluray edition in this video about two hours later*
*is now afraid of Brandon's psychic powers*
For any Friday the 13th fans- you should know leslie was one of the twins in Friday the 13th part 4. Just putting it out there for other pop culture fans.
wow...You made a Shining joke before the Blade Runner one...Good self-restrain...Colour me impressed...
If this ever did get a DVD release, it'd most likely end up in a boxed set from Mill Creek.
That's John Diehl at 3:08. He played Detective Larry Zito on the ever popular *Miami Vice* but was killed off the show sometime in the third season (1987) because he wanted to leave and do "other things". Clearly his star never rose. It should be noted the man with the glasses also appeared on Miami Vice as well in the episode "Indian Wars".
I guess leaving Vice wasn't as lucrative as he thought it would be. I recall Don Johnson also couldn't wait to get off the show so he could go be a big movie star. While he fared better than Diehl, he never became the huge star I think he envisioned himself. I remember seeing an interview with Philip Michael Thomas (Tubbs) and he seemed to be the most content actor of the series. I always loved his attitude in that he was forever grateful to Miami Vice for putting him on the map and the lavish salaries they earned on the hit show. Thomas said he felt Vice could have gone another five seasons had the writing not gotten so ridiculously bad. Makes you wonder what could have been...
Diehl did play the spirit of Chrysler for a while, and he guest-starred on an episode of Nash Bridges.
with skinny jeans having come back, wouldn't surprise me one bit if mullets came back
Mullets never went away!
and skinny jeans have never gone anywhere either
Yeh come spend some time in straya, trust me, the mullet sadly never died. . . Now it has all sorts of heinous variations to it. . .
I prefer mullets over skin tight jeans so heres hoping 🤞
The actor for Jennings was also Switek (or Zito? Not sure; could never tell them apart by name) on the "Miami Vice" TV show. And he chose to LEAVE that cash cow well before it was cancelled! Maybe because he got this script?!
I just mentioned that in my own post but yeah, that's John Diehl who played Detective Lawrence (Larry) Zito on *Miami Vice*. He and Stan Switek (Michael Talbot) were partners on the show. John Diehl left the show sometime in the third season (killed off actually) because he wanted to "do other things". Sadly none of it had as much fame as his time on *Vice*. The man with the glasses also appeared on one episode of *Vice* too (Indian Wars).
When Diehl left Vice he was making about $220k. But left because he didn't like the direction the show was heading in and wanted to try his luck in New York theater instead. He also had an interest in boxing and did that as well. He just seems like one of those people that would rather act and gain experience than be a famous celebrity. He's been working steadily ever since and is in projects still in production today. It does seem rather telling that he exited Vice being completely covered in cocaine.
He was also in Stripes, which was the first movie that came to mind when I tried to figure out why his face was familiar. Totally forgot about Miami Vice!
@@aaronreid8375 I think he also did an X-files episode, and then played "Harley Earl" (ghostly car company founder) in a series of upscale car commercials.
I saw this long ago on a copied vhs my friend had. loved it, was an original idea at the time with a twist predating doom and event horizon. low budget be damned!
Germany got a DVD-Release of this one (with english Audio) and is also included in the german Bluray-Triplepack with "Dune" and "Dark Star" in it. The Movie also got remastered and has now much better Colors and a sharper Picture. Cool Review by the Way :)
Amazon.com recently listed this film on Digital as well as DVD release.
I actually rented this vhs back in 90/91, wasn't all that bad, shame straight to video gems like this never got a dvd release like creature needs
Knock offs are the best. When I recently discovered Message from space...I also found out that they made a semi long running tv show from the show as well...but its pretty much impossible to find any episodes (especially dubbed or with subtitles)...I need to find it!
I seem to remember this was one of a series of films that came out around the same time. They all tended to be pretty low budget but were decently written (especially for the time).
I welcome anyone to correct me on this, but if the crew used hollow point ammo on their guns, it'd probably drastically reduce the danger of decompression since they deform much quicker than FMJs.
Maybe plastic bullets would work.
Special frangible ammo was developed for airlines
12::55 What, no "Kneel Before Zod" references? You are definitely slipping, Brandon. :-(
Mullets did make a comeback in the 2020's...
Excellent review. However, there's another movie just like this - G.R.R. Martin''s (yeah, the Game of Thrones guy) Nightflyers (1987). In this version, the hero is a girl played by Catherine Mary Stewart, the heroine from The Night of the Comet. And when I say just like this, that goes for the production value as well, unfortunately. Anyway, great idea for the next Halloween review, am I right?
This channel is great keep it up, the movies you pick are great B movies
Another sych-up : Moody Blues and Elfquest comics. Listen to Moody Blues' "To our Children's Children's Children" album and read Elfquest. The themes in the album and the comic really sych up: The fire and flight from their home, the trials of living for an eternity, the initial innocence of the Elves as they learn a brutal lesson from the humans, their second flight from the desert etc.

'Inseminoid'
Ok, you need to do that one.
seconded
inSEMENoid
This movie kinda feels like a serious version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 with those sets.
hey its 2022 today!!!!! its not the future anymore brandon. hey man you remind me of my youth in the 80s and 90s. i was in high school in both decade, the 1989 and 1990.
Kinda funny rewatching this in 2021 and the joke about Mullets coming back to totally came true
It's almost 2022! 2 more days
Man I thought I was the only one who remembers this
It's a great movie, though a b*tch to find when searching the internet since a certain Pink Floyd album is immensly more well known than this movie.
First time watching this, and it's 2022. Lol Hello from the future!
I laugh out loud at these!!! I would love more Godzilla and more cheesy dinosaur movies!!! Thanks and keep up the good work.
Oh god mullets did make a comeback holy shit
you ever think of doing "Moontrap" (1989)
preeeety sure you will like it.. little known film with Walter Koenig & Bruce Campbell ...
Despite the rest of the plot, the computer design is the most confusing part. We'll make a humanoid body for the computer so it can sit stationary and the crew has to visit it in it's room. That just makes too much sense. O_o???
consider this: the X68000 design is sexy as fsck, but doesnt make all that much sense either. The one in the movie must be a later model :P
I kinda want Brandon to have to review godzilla 1998
It finally got a DVD and Blu Ray release in 2019.
I reckon this is your best review of all; re-watching it just made me realise the Only reason for having a "Dominatrix ship's computer" (instead of the usual "Mother...") is purely so Leslie-bot can deliver that line...the entire film is just a set-up for that, classic though it is!
N.B. In "Alien", when they suit up to first investigate the Derelict, Capt. Dallas says he better "...break out the weapons..."; so if they've always had them why didn't they USE them later on? Choosing between a hull-puncture & having your face bit off is no choice at all, friends... anyone else ever notice that?
Oh yeah I remember watching this movie to a point. I remember the sexy robot and the guns. They are just Steyr AUGs, which I suppose look futuristic to those who don't know about them. I watched this with German dubbing though. I have a feeling it didn't matter.
Remember seeing this years ago, wish there was a version of better quality though.
I knew you were going to make a Lifeforce ref when the abandoned shuttle showed up.
You know, if the bullets in those guns actually contain birdshot pellets instead of firing slugs, they can still be pretty deadly but with much less risk of puncturing the spaceships' hulls. I know they make birdshot pellets for .45 caliber handguns, which won't go through drywall into other rooms if fired indoors but will still hurt someone.
there are plenty german DVD releases to this film, even a Blu Ray release, unfortunately they are all in VHS quality and with no english language, only german
Oh god its not the future anymore
Great video, as always ! It kinda make me wanna see that movie by myself.
watched this on amazon prime a few months ago if anyones looking for it
2022 checking in: Things could be better.
Well it’s 2022 and we still don’t have space ships or space nukes.
Parachute pants are gonna come back with the mullet . Just wait , you'll see!!
I hope so, parachute pants were damn comfy.
Ok does anyone else notice there are alot of movies set in the future that talk about a war or military operations in Nicaragua?
So in the far future of... 2020... Super Computers used for space travel, will come in the form of hot females in tight leather suits...
so *THAT'S* how NASA got the funding from Trump
*GENIUS!!!*
Also let's hope they're not Apple
No ports would be a pain... for them
;^)
🤣
Can you please review "Evil Toons","island of fire" and "Schlock"?
Watching this in 2021….. well it’s not the so distant future
Saw this one too back in the mid 90s. Felt the same way.
My request is Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl
terrible movie.
i watched this video for the first time in 2022, surprisingly mullets made a quasi comeback in the 2020's...
Forget "Event Horizon", what about that two-part episode of "Doctor Who"?
This movie looks awesome. Thanks for a great recommendation. I have enjoyed watching many of the movies you review. this reminds me of another great 1980's sci-fi movie called Night Fliers. I think it is only available on VHS tape, but it's worth watching.
Copyright law works in mysterious ways...
Satan going to space seem to have resulted in a better movie than the ones where Jason, Pinhead, Dracula or Leprechaun went there.
I think they armed them because dealing with nuclear armed satellites they're probably military. Ntm you would want to protect nukes from a heist.
The moment I saw the title, I instantly remember Camila's line- classic line!
9:11 you missed an opportunity for the classic line from Armageddon "Hes got space dementia"
alien knocksoffs are so friggin fun haha
I'm watching this from the far future year of 2022.
Again Event Horizon was supposed to be a Warhammer 40k movie
In the future, the only gun used in space will be the AUG. I mean, yeah, it looks futuristic and cool I guess, but really?
Pretty sure female robot interfaces with main ship computers are still used in films and TV series. :P
Also, you'll probably see Leslie in hell too. Just sayin'...
