Thank goodness List 25 is back!!! I miss you and you guys have one of the BEST KZbin channels I've ever seen!!!

[@list25]

Thank you so much!

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

@@list25 You're back!? When did that happen? I've got some catching up to do! Btw, you're looking awesome!

[@karentucker2161]

Same here!

[@BASKETBALLJEZUS]

@@list25 common Mike why don't you like horror movies it's the best movie genre there is. I'm not scared that easy by horror movies. Some are even boring as hel like the Exorcist, The Blair witch project and the Poltergeist. I felt asleep while I was watching them. Because they where so boring. Even the Teletubbies are scarier then those 3 movies. But I simply love Slasher horror movies. Like Child's Play (I think Chucky is cute), Friday the 13th, A nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween... The original one's of course. Not the lame remakes. And of course my all time favorite horror movie franchise Saw. I simply love the blood and gore in those movies. The only movie that really scared me is The Ring. I couldn't sleep that night.

[@Aceandspock]

Yes. I have probably watched everyone of the videos posted, I very happy when I hurd that voice say "I'm Mike with list 25" I let out yesss..I was in side the mall. 😍🤩🥳

[@sunshinesquares]

It’s so great to see your face again Mike! I know many of us missed you dearly and even though we have never met, seeing you again was like reconnecting with an old friend. Thank you Mike. ❤

[@list25]

I missed y'all too.

[@redhotdevilwoman03]

Yess! Well said

[@paige-vt8fn]

So true, it's great to have our old friend, Mike and everyone at list 25 back❤

[@soyburglar1878]

My god, I can’t even begin to imagine Belushi and Murphy as original Ghostbusters. I’m so thankful for the cast members who actually ended up getting those parts. It would be an entirely different experience otherwise. Murray’s performance alone within that franchise could serve as a comedic/improv masterclass.

[@anthonycoffey902]

I'm so happy you're back! I used to watch List 25 with my dad and we loved it. RIP Pops ❤ Im'a be watching for the both of us 🙏🙏🙏

[@jaimeywilkes5500]

I can't believe Mike's been back almost 2 weeks and I just now found out welcome back Mike we missed you

[@parrishlouis9192]

I left this channel because Mike did. I'm so glad you're back you were deeply missed!!!

[@jcfreak4ever1]

Agreed to everyone who's said so; welcome back, Mike! We missed you so much! (high-fives) 😃 You're my fave random facts video guy! You rock!

[@list25]

Wow, thank you!

[@heathermedling1313]

Please give Tristan my love as well. Would like to see him do an episode with you. You're banter back and forth was funny and endearing. Hope to see him here one day with you. Hope the powers that be will allow it

[@CybeleCotter]

The scariest thing about Candyman was its being shot at the now-demolished Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago, one of the most dangerous locations for urban violence at that time.

[@paige-vt8fn]

Yes, the authenticity of that movie is what made it so great and so scary!❤

[@VloggerMcGamer]

The production team even paid the local gangs to be extras in the movie Also, the production trucks were shot at several times during the making of the movie

[@DannyTruthMagnified]

It's so refreshing having this channel back with Mike hosting.

[@list25]

I appreciate that

[@thepistolguy859]

Is the other guy with Mike tho?

[@DannyTruthMagnified]

@@thepistolguy859 Tristan? He has his own film studio now. I think he officially retired from KZbin.

[@alexhamilton4084]

Yay! Finally someone that pronounces Brendan Fraser’s name correctly. Thanks Mike. 👍🏻😃

[@jacobwhite8960]

First thing first, I am SOOO hapy your back and your happy and healthy. Now we all know by now that they used real skeletons in Poltergeist. But nobody seems to be asking why the REAL human skeletons were cheaper. WHY WERE THE REAL HUMAN SKELETONS CHEAPER?!?

[@list25]

Less production cost probably.

[@scottbender9930]

Mike: in my opinion, one of your best and most captivating episodes. Thank you for all of the work you do and have done. I missed you during your hiatus. You play a great host of this series, and no doubt can do well at anything you endeavor to do. Godspeed, sir! Have a great day.

[@list25]

Wow, thank you!

[@brianarbenz1329]

Mike’s always had the gift. Now he’s also got a lot of Lists pent up from the absence. So have at it, Mike!

[@redhotdevilwoman03]

I agree 100%. So glad to see him back. 🤓

[@TheBaconKing32]

Never been more happy to see someone return to KZbin!

[@list25]

Me too! Wait.... Lol

[@topintn]

I know this is a bit late, but I always enjoyed List 25 and your presentations. I just stumbled on this channel again. I had no idea it was back. Great to see you again. Keep up the great work.

[@list25]

We are and we've noticed people still don't know. Tell everyone! Share our videos!

[@DielectricFailure]

I wasn’t aware he went away either. I got into more of the videos about music, production and living in an RV of all things. I’m just glad it’s popped back into my timeline on KZbin.

[@KkBo15]

I'm with you Mike! Not a horror movie fan, not ever. I'm so glad you're back! I actually missed you. Not list 25 but you, I'm so happy to see you again.

[@list25]

Thank you so much

[@tuckercarnes3203]

I'm so glad you are back i work with a guy who has special needs and looks forward to your lists

[@babybookworm003]

I hope they bring back Tristan I loved their little skits

[@list25]

Not sure how likely that is. He's currently focusing on his new studio, Chasing Shadows Gainesville.

[@peterj.fallon4327]

Think it’s cool when people produce content those with special needs dig. Btw in *my experience, special needs folks often have a great sense of humor & are ultimate ball-breakers. Tho just like young kids,they often do so w/o trying to be funny, which makes it all the more funny

[@lauramalizia9636]

Great to see you back!!!🎉😊🎉🎉❤❤😊

[@lizh6420]

Omg Mike - List 25 it's back, Mike where did you go both physically and literally. Glad this channel is back up and running. You're looking great Mike

[@locomadman]

Hahahaha..! Well done my guy, not often someone can take me to school when it comes to cinema; the story of L. Baum’s jacket was a new one on me! 👍🏽✌🏽

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

The bookshelf falling over in "Ghostbusters" wasn't actually a mistake that was kept in the film. But one thing that is true is that the original librarian ghost prop was deemed too frightening and was recycled for "Fright Night" (1985). Also, the technical director of "Toy Story 2" was named Galyn Susman. But yes, if it wasn't for her working from home, the entire film would've been lost.

[@davidburchett3008]

Your show is the very first show I watched on the internet when you quit hosting with your friend I quit watching today is the first time in 3 years that I've watched one of your episodes I'm glad to see you're back in my world shows are always fascinating and funny glad to see that it has not changed

[@jeffshikle]

Welcome back Mike. I hope to see Tristan join you. Y’all had the best content on YT.

[@debbiemyers5006]

I'm so glad you're back!

[@dennisgriffith9217]

You seem happy to be back! That's Kool man! Cause it's good to have you back! List on Buddy!...🙂😊

[@nssportstv7231]

Welcome back old friend nice to see your content again bro

[@list25]

Hey, thanks

[@Msubulldogs09]

One of the actors who played a storm trooper in Star Wars lived near me, and his mother would get her prescriptions filled at my job, she told me that he'd gained a little weight during the shoot, and had to be duct taped into his costume for some scenes.

[@midwestweirdo666]

V for vendetta originally had someone else playing V. He left filming for reasons that I can't remember off the top of my head. The screenplay was written by the same people as the matrix and I believe the director was also the same. They immediately thought of Hugo weaving as the new V. They had already been filming for 6 weeks before the switch so some shots in the final cut were with the original actor and dubbed over the audio with Hugo.

[@leebritnell2405]

James Purefoy,he felt too uncomfortable in the mask(maybe vanity placed a part,too!).

[@azztecar]

V on the forehead.

[@kendradorman6014]

What we did in the shadows is definitely one of my favorite movies!!!

[@martymccrudden6542]

Compliment sandwich - Mike is back! This is the happiest I've been in a LONG time. Best YT channel ever. Hooper didn't die in Jaws - He and Brody were swimming back in at the end on the "raft". Also, you look absolutely amazing, Mike. You're an inspiration my friend. Keep moving forward ❤️💪🏼

[@AmandaHugandKiss411]

Mike! My alll time favorite KZbin Host! This made my day, week and year 🤗

[@ronbarringer1539]

I haven't seen List 25 in a long time. Mike, you look fantastic. Good for you, man.

[@list25]

Thank you

[@mrmojomajestic8317]

Matt Hooper did make it into another movie, albeit not a _Jaws_ movie. In _Piranha 3D,_ both the director and Richard Dreyfuss have confirmed that his character is Matt Hooper.

[@lindasnow3960]

So very glad to have you back guys! Thanks

[@list25]

Our pleasure!

[@pambeth921]

Welcome back Mike ...now I can add you back to my KZbin watching videos . Also I will learn more things again. Cannot wait for more list .. have fun doing it....glad your back.!

[@auntlouise]

OMG when I got a notification that you posted a video I ran through the house screaming to my husband that y'all are posting! Wooo!

[@robertmarchand1346]

And number 3 gave me a big smile hearing about Danny bringing that video so her Mom could see her daughter...

[@SUPERBIGMANThe]

List 25 is back YAY!❤❤❤

[@cristinesplinis5815]

Agreed about the horror movies. Except for anything made by Tim Burton, or anything Addams Family themed. 😊

[@humblehummingbird2011]

1:33 in... I Love Mike and this opening!!! Had me giggling like a school girl 😂

[@joanhoffman3702]

That was one of the most fun and entertaining videos I’ve seen in a while! Thanks, Mike, and welcome back! We missed you!

[@thatgirlfromktown]

I haven't watched this channel since you left...so when I saw your face I got so excited. 🥰 So I have re-subscribed

[@robertclark2253]

While filming The Longest Day , starring John Wayne , in 1962 the crew unearthed a tank that was used during the actual D Day invasion .

[@jodywoodruff6473]

Amazing video 👍☺️

[@Trunkalunx]

I love movies, too, Mike! I have a whole collection in my room! 😃 And, WOW, you sat throughout an entire Hobbit & Lord of the Rings trilogy marathon, AND a 9-movie Star Wars marathon?! TWICE?! Just…WOW!!! 🤯 Although, I feel sad that you don’t like horror movies, because I love them. I always feel so alone when someone says they don’t like horror movies, because there aren’t many people I know who do love them like I do. 🥺 Honestly, for me, I’m not really a big fan of chick-flicks and rom-coms. 😅

[@Comrieion]

I love seeing the view counts from all the latest videos slowly going up, it’s like people are finally coming back

[@scottM278]

Movie fact: Barbara von Trapp and her younger sister Elizabeth von Trapp, daughters of Werner, granddaughters of the Captain, were actually in the movie "The Sound of Music" I know Barbara personally.

[@HeyYouItsCorTheImmortal]

great to see ya Mike. your looking really well

[@johnnyrocket4357]

I was caught off guard by "probably the worst of the Rocky Series" and died laughing when I processed the rest of your comment!

[@cherylschaeffer6268]

Good to see you back. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

[@ReinBelmont]

cool fact, the past tense of hanged is still hanged when talking about the act of killing by hanging. Super chill vibes on the video, I really enjoyed it.

[@chudmdb]

Yea Mike. Welcome back. I hope this leads to the success you so deserve.

[@klausheinrich1791]

Hey, welcome back Mike! Just FYI, the last Blockbuster is in Bend, Oregon. Have a good one!

[@christygibson193]

So glad you're back Mike - it's good to have list 25 as well 😊

[@dadodem2157]

Omg I am so glad to see you two back! List 25 IS FINALLY BACK!

[@edmawhinney3564]

Thank you for making my drive home much more enjoyable

[@list25]

Any time!

[@mibeatleman6767]

The filmmakers of Ferris Bueller's Day Off used The Beatles' Twist And Shout recording without permission from the surviving group members, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and the Lennon estate. Although they got permission from Capitol / EMI records. The scene propelled the single back into the charts at a respectable no. 21, not a bad for a then 23 year old recording.

[@redhotdevilwoman03]

MIKE!!! I'm so glad to see your face and hear your voice. 🤩

[@joanneoliver8610]

Always a good day when you guys upload. 😁

[@popovichdesign]

Thanks for the best top 25 ever1 My husband and I recently discovered you. Can’t get enough of you!! Thanks. ❤

[@AngelGatlin]

Welcome back Mike! It made me so happy to see you sharing this list with us. You look well & happy and I like everyone else here, can't wait to see more from you again!

[@magsandgirls]

Danny DeVito is Fantastic! I met him as a kindergartener and he was so kind. Love him to pieces!

[@RosheenQuynh]

The Wizard of Oz one is really, _really_ trippy...

[@davidl570]

Another Jurassic Park sound effect fact: when the kids are trying to hide from the dinosaur in the car, the menacing rumbling sound of its approaching footsteps was achieved by having someone lie underneath the car and pluck a bass guitar's strings.

[@Rhino916.]

Not for a sound effect, the bass strings were used to get the vibration effect in the cup of water in the car when the trex approached. Simply shaking the car couldn't produce that effect

[@DielectricFailure]

I’ve been watching your channel for more than 10 years and I’m glad to see you still making videos even though this is a year old already.

[@rachelmckitterick]

Omg!! The Wizard of Oz one gave me goosebumps! 🤯

[@waynepile5084]

I absolutely love this video! Please make another one like this. I will note that all of your videos I have seen are very good, but this one is my favorite so far.

[@hopehamby9287]

Loved this list!!! Glad you're back!!!

[@patriciaaturner289]

Of course Chris Hemsworth has great comedy chops. He was one of the best things about the Ghostbusters reboot, which BTW I enjoyed hugely.

[@baliyae]

Awesome, List 25 is back! I missed you and your great content!

[@michaelpretko8815]

Great too see you back!

[@russellwalter3839]

Several of the scenes in the movie Gone Girl were actually filmed in the town where I live in called Cape Girardeau Missouri. Idk if the bar made it into the movie but they redesigned a bar downtown for the movie and actually changed the name for the movie to The Bar. That's even still the name of the bar. A couple other movies shot some scenes here also which is kinda cool.

[@KanishQQuotes]

So long. The teddy bear is back

[@list25]

So long? Are you leaving us?

[@KanishQQuotes]

@@list25 So I'm saying I saw you after so long. Last time I saw you, you had a lumia

[@kellyosullivan990]

Here's a weird movie fact for you Mike apparently when NASA hires managers part of the new hire training they have to watch the film Armageddon. They have to find training errors. To date, 168 errors have been found in the film.

[@DizzyME13]

I’ve got to find out if this is true, if so, that is awesome! ✌️

[@jimbyrdiii1503]

Probably not the first to mention this (plus it's totally unrelated) but I'd like to CONGRATULATE🥳YOU on your transformation! It's been awhile since I visited your channel. I'm also on a weight loss journey. Please lmk your wght loss secret(s)--if any.🤞

Don’t forget to tune in tonight to Dwayne’s Underworld!

[@ithydoodles]

I'm looking forward to Matilda the Musical. It looks like it might be good. When my family was watching Mummy 2 on pay per view, there was a huge fight on our porch step and somebody got their ear bit off. That was my brothers friend's uncle. We didn't hear anything.

[@crowknee7121]

Nice to see you back Mike, keep up the great content bud!

[@Somarinoa]

The last Blockbuster you are referring to was the one I grew up going to, in Anchorage, Alaska. It was effectively on the corner of DeBarr Rd and Boniface Parkway, but it finally closed down a few years back. I think the last one left is in Australia somewhere? Cannot confirm though, I’ve spent my whole life in the bitter cold of the Great North.

[@Onotosho]

I love cinema. I learned a lot from this list. It's always interesting to learn what has happened behind the scenes

[@j.c.ca.o.l7035]

I like Gothic Horror. Horror is great when it is done right.

I’m glad I’m not the only adult who hates horror movies haha. I watched Midsommer and yeah I think I’m done with horror for the rest of my life 😅

[@Bethlam]

Hostel and the two of the saw movies made me quit horror movies. They have just gotten so bizarre and horrific I hate to think that some one actually could think these things up.

[@leebritnell2405]

I'm a huge horror fan,but don't get off on watching people strapped to a chair and tortured.I grew up on the old Hammer/AIP/Amicus films,which were fantasy,and very stylish.I'm too aware that torture goes on in many countries,and don't see it as 'fun'

[@billbratcher944]

Agreed, if i want to feel fear. Ill read my bank statements.

[@AquilaLorelei]

Heyoooooo!

Why thank you!

[@whyarewealwaysyelling]

Love you Mikey

[@dawnhall8432]

Mike horror movies are the bomb 😂😂😂. Love the video.

[@katleigh4460]

Great Video, Mike. Loved #1 about where Easter Eggs originated. Also, I am completely in agreement with you about horror movies. I just don't understand why anyone would enjoy being scared. Or why a person would watch a movie knowing that it was going to have them nearly jumping out of their skin and possibly causing them to have nightmares about it afterwards. Just seems like the emotions/physical effects that people say they experience while watching those types of movies are something I would generally like to avoid if at all possible. Anyway, it is great to have you back with List 25 and providing great content again. Have a great day!
