Lando wearing Han's clothes: I always thought it was bcuz Lando left Cloud City in a hurry and didn't have time to pack, and Han's clothes were available in storage on the Millennium Falcon. He used Han's temporarily until his own outfit, the only one he had with the disco pants, puffy shirt and cape, came back from the cleaners...

[@ryzekiv7147]

“Hmm not quite my style, but I can make it work!” -Lando, probably

[@shill1444]

Yes! I agree. This is exactly what I thought. LOL

[@dhenderson1810]

I thought it was because it was a different day and Lando changed his clothes.

[@drewrub7415]

This has always been my head canon.

[@MitchellTF]

Alternately, it was to show Lando moving to be part of the team, take Han's place for a bit, or in honor of his pseudo-dead friend. (And his old outfit is HECK to pilot in).

[@TheWorldMemeDatabase]

Was delaying Black Panther even an option? Infinity War was going to come out 2 months later, and in the theater I worked at we still had showings for BP when it came out. Delay BP a month and you're risking having your own properties provide competition for each other.

[@Kookiebourra]

And since people will obviously chose infinity war the film that had over a decade of buildup for it over this new film everyone would have seen that and been confused when they go there since the first time we see wakanda is in black panther

[@hhiippiittyy]

Well, y'know, delay IW by a bit too.

[@danielmason96]

The release of Black Panther was mainly set in stone because Disney wanted to release during black history month.

[@TheWorldMemeDatabase]

@@danielmason96 Forgot about that. Yeah, can't beat that PR.

[@rayanvij3457]

Well, they could have easily delayed Black Panther by a month or 2 as long as they delayed any other Marvel movies coming out that year. People have mentioned that if they delayed Black Panther there would be overlap with Infinity War. They could have avoided the overlap by pushing back Infinity War's release date.

[@OriginalAcrobat]

I always thought Lando wore some of Hans clothes because he fled cloud city that quickly he had nothing of his own stuff to wear later.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

The CGI in the MCU is so excessive that anything can break the suspension of disbelief

[@davidweaver766]

Born in 82 and Star Wars was a huge part of our lives. Not until I saw the family guy joke did I ever think twice about the Lando thing because I actually always assumed it was what people who fly ships like that just wore on the regular. Guess I was right.

[@trinaq]

I agree, they should have simply used a body double, as opposed to having 70 something Robert DeNiro clearly pretend to beat someone up.

[@shill1444]

What's even worse is that we have already seen how physical DeNiro was in his 40s and in his 50s . A lot of images from his past films are literally burned into our minds so to see his character move like that, it instantly takes you out of the film because you see your grandparents move like that. 😂😅

[@unclecreed2986]

When he threw the gun in the river was even worse than the fight.

[@gerardstephens58]

Was very interested in The Irishman given its great cast, but saw the infamous fight scene first and decided to give the movie a hard pass; making me as lazy and misguided as the director. Q: is that scene integral to the story arc, or could it be skipped entirely?

[@zwordsman]

I always thought Lando just wore Han's clothing cause they ditched fast so he used the clothing from Hans room

[@vanessastegall]

Take My Breath Away won an Oscar for Best original song.

[@jamessweebe373]

I wouldn't call it cheesy, maybe a little sappy at times, but what ballad isn't. It's still a good song after all these years.

[@jamessweebe373]

@@petersonp84 Only if taken out of context, but knowing the scene and song, I totally get it....😆

[@DetectiveJones]

I remember going to a Best Buy a little after Black Panther came out while looking at TV's. Unfortunately, they were using that scene to showcase the TV's which made both look bad...It showed just how awful the effects were in 4k, while also making the TV look bad by showing such an awful display.

[@GrinderCB]

In Star Wars Ep.4, don't know if it's CGI or something else, but the halo ring when the Death Star blows up wasn't necessary. What I think happened was that Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country had that effect at the beginning when the Klingon moon Praxis blew up, sending out the massive shock wave that got the attention of Federation starships like the Excelsior. Lucas probably saw that and said, "Looks cool, let's do that in the Special Edition." If the Death Star was exploding because of its main reactor being torpedoed, wouldn't it explode more or less spherically, sending energy and debris in all directions?

[@johnterpack3940]

That halo ring was added by Lucas when he "improved" the original movies. He just couldn't pass up the chance to ruin the classics he accidentally created.

[@GrinderCB]

Star Trek V: For me, the annoying part was the scene when the shuttlecraft makes a crash run to board the Enterprise. The exterior shot of the shuttlecraft hitting its boosters looks like a little kid playing with a toy.

[@mcleigh66]

Yeah, the "god" effect was no big deal for me, as (decades-long spoiler alert) it wasn't really a god of any kind. The rest of the effects bothered me much more.

[@baxterwilson368]

5:25 Not once did I notice those were Han’s clothes! 😂 Then again, I’m just a casual Star Wars fan.

[@TonyHammitt]

Maybe Han had the key fob sewn into his vest? 😉

[@Jokertron3000]

The Dawn of the Dead blood had me like "I learned from Dexter that corn syrup and food dye are the best substitute" and then it reveals that the secret formula is indeed corn syrup and food dye 😅

[@BlackHammer0891]

Thanks, this made me wanna see Black Panther again

[@shill1444]

What would really piss people off is when they see the behind-the-scenes footage and see both Chadwick Boseman and Michael B Jordan in actual battle suits!!! My wife looked at me and said what the, why would they put cartoons looking CG over the actual suits? They did the same thing and Avengers endgame with their time travel suits. They were just out of control is all.

[@dhenderson1810]

The reason for the "bad special effects" God in "Star Trek" was that the producers couldn't reach agreement for the real God to appear. LOL.

[@danieljob3184]

Nah! As far as most TOS fans were concerned, the real God was busy directing the film. 😃

[@josephwest124]

No. God looked at the script and saw that Shatner was directing and said, "Pass."

[@Chrissykat24]

I mean I would suspect god is hard to book

[@cantonlowlifemedia]

The MAIN criticism I'VE heard/seen/had about Black Panther was "War Rhinos" being used by what is supposed to be the most technologically advanced country on the MCU's Earth! Using animal mounts, especially endangered ones made no goddamned sense!

[@craftpaint1644]

I have no problem with any part of Streetfighter, it's campy. For me campy forgives a lot of odd things about a movie.

[@danieljob3184]

Given the video games they were based on, Streetfighter and Mortal Combat were perfectly apt movie adaptations. Super Mario Bros went off the f@cking rails tho! 😵😖🤯

[@Roverswelsh]

So no reasons or excuses for Piers Brosnan kitesurfing in Die Another Day?

[@Nova_13]

I really liked this list! I remember watching Battlefield Earth and feeling dizzy and sick from the camera angles.😅

[@danieljob3184]

Yeah, that's what it was the camera angles! Sure... 😒

[@salemslotandmore8278]

Thanks for the List and Video 😀

[@RtistiqSkubie]

6:05 can someone PLEASE redo these VFX with today's technology? I would love a re-release of this movie but with the highest graphical fidelity possible for this film. It would then make owning the movie so much more worthwhile.

[@mikesteinkrauss9773]

Marvel certainly deserves criticism in some areas. Marvel does not deserve criticism for not simply pushing Black Panther's release date back a few months. that is a 50+ million dollar marketing decision or more. then it either collides with Infinity war, or they are forced to move infinity war back several months, because it doesn't make sense unless , which means Ant Man and the Wasp has to be moved out several months. All of these cost moneys, and put some releases into perhaps less ideal release windows. You are saying Marvels should takes Hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe half a billion dollars of losses because the Producer/Director failed to deliver that quality scene in the time frame necessary. The problem as described in your case seems to be they recognized far to late that the VFX company they hired couldn't deliver what was needed, and then the pivot to the second company took too long.

[@dhenderson1810]

Maybe don't make every MCU interconnected then, or dependent on other films.

[@NewPaulActs17]

@@dhenderson1810 this is a reason why phase 4 doesn't work. and now the overly tight release schedule has only exacerbated the crappy cgi

[@abadenoughdude300]

@@dhenderson1810 Yeah when you have too many things too tightly interdependent it's only a matter of time before everything falls apart when there's one small setback. It's cool and fancy as long as everything is going according to plan.

[@pluck8913]

I always thought Lando was simply needing clothes as he left Cloud city without any luggage. So being he and Had were of similar build he just wore Han's clothes.

[@sethwick8348]

The fact that Mortal Kombat Annihilation tested well is good evidence the whole "test screening" process is useless

[@adamduncan6172]

I'm more than happy to accept that it's just me but, in avengers endgame does anyone else hear Tony stark say "the bleaker street magician gave away the 'store' " instead of the 'stone'? It bugs me every time I watch the film and as far as I can tell, nobody else talks about it! Anyone else hear store instead of stone?

[@manicmentacide]

Yes, he said 'store'. Its a common phrase, that isn't so commonly used anymore. 😅 you're not daft!

[@PrinceIsot]

When Cory takes Michael's mask, I was happy I didn't go see that in theaters. Because I would have audibly raged and left the theater but with a cracked laugh because I was broken...

[@richardthemagician8991]

Another interesting fact about Street Fighter is Raul Julia's costume being obviously too large for him. We all know now that he had the stomach cancer, which made him lose a lot of weight. So one might question why they didn't adjust is costing to fit better. It's because he lost weight so quickly, there was no time to resize him. You can actually see in some parts of the movie where the costume does fit a little bit better. But in the fights it especially, it is noticeably way too big. So tragic.

[@dajur1]

If we're talking about Star Trek, how about all of the lens flares that ruined the J.J. Abrams movies. It was almost unwatchable. I watched the Mortal Kombat movie in a hotel room. For some reason, the movie stopped just before the movie was about to end, so I missed the last few minutes. I still don't know exactly how it ends. The black panther fight scene was by far the worst part of the movie and the most confusing. It's kind of Star Wars-ish in tone.

[@williamcrowe2576]

I thought the reason for all the dutch angles in Battlefield Earth was because the villains were crooked.

[@mlcozad]

On the Falcon what fresh clothes are available for a person with no luggage?

[@tanaka7341]

Annoying wrong word lmao

[@michaeltortorice9876]

Dutch angles: Psychlos are just Batman villains. I'm surprised no one has seen it before. Lando's outfit: Wouldn't it be simpler to say he left everything behind on Cloud City and Han's wardrobe was all he had access to? Seems much simpler to me. Star Trek V: my theory has been that the budget ran out after Yosemite. Top Gun: people called it "too gay" because of the sex scene? Not the beach scene? That's not real. Is it? I don't know how to give a cheeky like, so this is just a normal one. Is that okay?

[@danieljob3184]

If you watch movies just for the fight scenes, you should stick to Michael Bay films.

[@williammitchell4417]

In the thumbnail, I'm reminded of the Cylon Centurion getting punched and then the newer Centurion shooting the older one. As for poor Tom and Kelly having to reshoot stuff for Top Gun, I really feel bad for them. There should have been some way to fix it, but it was the 1980's, sex sells.

[@55chevy327]

Part of the issue with Black Panther is visual effects studios bidding too low. They take the job at a loss trying to make a name for themselves. Then when they can’t handle what they agreed to, they blame Disney.

[@dcbandit]

I reckon that Annihilation tested so well because everyone assumed it was gonna have better special effects on release, so judged it more on everything else. If the producers had bothered to ask them, that may have been what they were told, but jumped the gun because they thought they could cut corners.

[@JerosCyrelis]

Studio executives cutting corners and making lower quality films. Amaaaaaaaaaaazing.

[@pixxelwizzard]

I saw Return of the Jedi in the theater and have seen it many times since. I never noticed that Lando wore the same outfit. :/

[@mandy5549]

The movie-making decision that gets on my nerves is the writing decision that brings back Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman 1984. If he's going to be brought back with magic, why on earth would the writers choose to bring him back, but possessing the body of some random guy?! This leads to a discussion about consent since Diana has sex with the unwilling host's body. If magic is how he returns just... have him return. "How is Steve alive?!" "Magic." Simple!

[@captainspaulding5963]

Yeah, the Street Fighter fighting with Bison couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that Raul was in the throws of end stage cancer, or anything like that.

7:43 "...save for the late, great, Raul Julia's performance as M. Bison, of course." The way this sentence is phrased, I am legitimately curious as to whether or not this was an intentional reference to the M.Bison "of COURSE!" meme. Either way...kudos.

[@stevewhatshesaid1258]

Also, too much of Street Fighter's budget was spent of cocaine.

The whole system of the supposed "monarchy". It's a monarchy but they fight random guys to keep it. Except Tchalla's mom who just got to be queen later on. But more importantly America is terrible but we (Wakanda) are super rich and technology advanced and we ignore the plight of neighboring countries so much that we hid the entire country behind and invisible shield.
