According to Nicolas Cage himself, The Janitor did have dialogue, but it was so sparse that he and the director agreed to have him be completely mute. Cage thought it would be a fun acting challenge to see how well he could communicate using only body language and facial expressions. And yeah, he did this movie and a number of others in an effort to avoid filing for bankruptcy. This movie was very dumb, but it's what I call fun dumb. I can only imagine what the behind the scenes was like.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I think cage did a great job though. Wasn’t he worth like 500 million at some point?

[@daysand123]

This movie knew exactly what it was and Cage delivered. Doom guy cleans up Freddy Fazbear's permanently. Other people pointed out that the entire movie is literally themed around him being almost like the silent fps protagonist that just does shit and moves on. To the point the playing pinball on break is a between levels mini game and the cans of punch are a health pack/power up.

[@filipvadas7602]

@@theduckgoesmoo yeah, despite being in mainly lackluster movies, he really started to hit it big in the early 90's and the 2000's. Unfortunately , as you know, this also came with insane spending on his part.

[@BlazeWriter]

The FNAF movie's, as of writing this, has a finalized script & has animatronic models being worked on. Given how Blumhouses', the studio behind the movie, history with movie making, it's possible that it'll release next year. Hopefully we'll at least get a teaser trailer soon. Also; while FNAF wasn't the first to come up with the idea of killer animatronics (people have been making Chuck E. Cheese creepypastas prior to FNAF), it certainly was the first to make it popular.

[@The_Phantasm]

I can't recommend enough the Spectacular Spider-Man series which is the best and most accurate interpretation of Spider-Man outside the comics and I guarantee that you will love it. Both the stories and the portrayal of Spider-Man are better than any of the live action movies.

[@filipvadas7602]

Amen. Spectacular Spiderman's versions of Goblin, Sandman , Electro and Venom are my go to standard

[@YungandRekless545]

Agreed. Highly reccomend it.

[@The-Rguy]

Hell yeah the fact Netflix owns the streaming rights means it's more accessible and have a small percentage that they'll bring it back for season 3

[@thehonestreviewer7754]

The show was great, tt's a shame Disney got it canceled.

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

Bruh I grew up watching the Spectacular Spider-Man every saterday morning on Teletoon back in 2008/2009

[@filipvadas7602]

This was one of the many movies Nicholas Cage did *per year* as a way to get out of his crippling debt. I do love the blink and you'll miss it detail of his character's dog tags. Telling you outright that he's a combat veteran. Its been said in the comments, but you GOTTA eventually react to both Spectacular Spiderman and Batman:The Animated Series. Both are masterclass in how they portrayed their respective characters as well as their rogue's gallery

[@Bardic_Knowledge]

The bit at 19:24 is in reference to a scene from Return to Oz, which is a blend of a sequel to the movie and an adaptation of books two and three of the Oz series. Critic did an episode on it, if you want to watch it.

[@Trilaan]

That is also my recommendation. Additionally, In Praise of Shadows has an excellent video on Return to OZ but it's probably a bit long for Kyle at just over 35 minutes.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

@@Trilaan I’ve done longer

[@Trilaan]

@@theduckgoesmoo Okay, cool, I could not remember.

[@zapadap1328]

I love this movie. It's very obviously made to be a B-movie on a low budget. It does that extremely well. The fact that Cage is mute is a very unique idea, and it makes him seem like the silent protagonist from so many video games. The story takes a back seat to the action. And it's a fun, somewhat tropey, movie that requires little to no brain work to watch, and has massive rewatchability.

[@stickmaster400]

Kinda an insult to have it get called a fnaf knock of considering chuck-e-cheese did creepy first and fnaf I’d based on that, but I love it all the same

[@zapadap1328]

It's aware of how similar it is to FNAF, but does enough that's original in my opinion to not really be considered a clone

The animatronics are Willy Weasel, Siren Sara, Cammy Chameleon, Knighty Knight, Tito Turtle, Gus Gorilla, Arty Alligator, and Ozzie Ostrich.

[@arkauthor]

Their is a theory about Nicholas Cage being one of the kids that got attacked by the animatronics and of you look on his rear view mirror you can see dog tags so he is soldier and probably suffered a war injury that made him mute.

[@theepicbladertvbeytuber6314]

@theduckgoesmoo Does anyone want to tell him that five nights at freddy's has a movie now?

[@theduckgoesmoo]

[@risuwolf]

A work friend gave me this movie like a year ago and I never got around to watching it. When I saw the Critic had done a review I was like, "I should really watch that movie so I can watch the review." Now I finally watched the movie so I could watch the review so I can watch your reaction

[@theduckgoesmoo]

What did you think originally?

[@risuwolf]

@@theduckgoesmoo I really liked the movie. Like the Critic said, the teen actors were a bit off but Cage more than made up for it

[@The_Phantasm]

I strongly recommend watching the legendary Batman the Animated Series and the rest of the DC Animated Universe including Superman the Animated Series Batman Beyond Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. They are some of the best superhero and animated content of all time and you really missing out. In general I recommend watching DC and Marvel animated stuff. You can find the DC shows on HBO Max.

[@wrath4452]

Honestly, I think it’s even better that he didn’t say a word through the whole movie! Gives off an energy akin to Saitama’s famous “Ok.” when he sees the animatronics moving around. Like, he couldn’t give LESS of a shit, he’s here to clean so he’s going to clean. Get in the way and he’ll clean you up later.

[@astaven9439]

He left out a few key details of some of the moments you questioned. Two most prominent to me are that the tires go out because of a spike strip that is openly displayed on screen, and the girl used the shotgun as a bat against the turtle because he somehow took the shells out at some point (which she discovered when she tried to shoot him).

[@calebgoodman3028]

Believe it or not this isn’t the only FNAF knockoff created. There was this children’s show I used to watch when I was little called the Banana Splits and they turned it into a horror movie in 2019. You only need to see the main cast to understand why they were the perfect targets for desecration just to get onto the FNAF bandwagon.

[@autumn1950]

Well, I Wouldn't Call Willy's Wonderland or Banana Splits a "Fnaf Knockoff" Willy's Wonderland Is Unique Enough to Be Considered Its Own Thing, In Fact the Director Didn't Even Know About Fnaf. As for Banana Splits, The Movie Was Made from a Scrapped Script That Warner Brothers Made, They Ended Up Reusing the Script for Banana Splits, Makes Me Happy Scott Cares about The Fanbase

[@crystalgemgirl731]

It's funny that you mention Doug Dimmadome, I was just marathoning the first three seasons of Fairly Oddparents.

Currently the FNAF film is actually coming along well, the script is finalized, Jim Henson's Creature Shop is working on the film, filming's supposedly starting at the end of the year, and the film is planned to release next year.

[@nicholaspatton3797]

@theduckgoesmoo, guess what? This movie has a comic series that'll be a prequel to it. It basically reveals the origins of the souls possessing the animatronics

[@mckenzie.latham91]

The idea of the Janitor was that he was a man of his word. He made a commitment to clean the fun-park, maintain employee discipline with keeping clean uniforms, taking breaks as he was told etc. Which is why he doesn't leave and continues to clean the place. It's also treated as a video game. The pinball machine/break room is a place of safety and relaxation, a safezone. The punch soda is the power ups, the duck tape is armor and also makes sense since Cage's character is implied to have military background and they used duck tape in Feild med kits all the time. Each robot is a boss fight until the big final boss Willy. It should also be noted that the animatronics killed a bunch of people around the town and it forced the sheriff and others to make the deal. The sheriff is more scared of fighting the machines and so she is willing to sacrifice a few to avoid a massacre.

[@The-Rguy]

Okay first The Dug Dimado joke.......... it was hilarious I'll give you massive props on that and fun fact Willy's Wonderland doesn't sell pizza but instead hotdogs... what the crap why

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Bruh half the fun of getting a pizza with a group is arguing about the toppings how are you going to argue with hotdogs

[@MAXIMILLIONtheGREAT]

Box office numbers dont matter to a movie like this, its almost certainly meant to be streamed or even sold as discs. FNAF was not the first to do what it did, lore wise, not even close. Love this movie snd Nick Cage. You should react to the movie itself.

[@miguelmercadoFC]

Do his "Ernest Saves Christmas" Video then do his "Fuck Ups" trilogy

My favorite line in this movie is when the girl says about Cage and the animatronics, “he’s not trapped in here with them. THEY’RE trapped in here with HIM.”

18:52 - 19:14 I recommend if you haven't seen Beth Grant's work, watch Child's Play 2, Speed with Keanu Reeves, Donnie Darko, and Little Miss Sunshine. She's usually good at playing the easily unlikeable senior or person in authority who gets just deserts. Except for Speed; even though it was a dumb move to get off the bomb rigged bus, I don't think she deserved to get blown up/run over.

[@The_Phantasm]

Because you reacted to his videos about the Fantastic Four movies I just wanted to let you know that they are actually some of the best Marvel characters of all time and Doctor Doom is arguably the best Marvel villain in the comics. It's the films that didn't do them justice.

Title: A FNAF MOVIE KNOCKOFF!!! me:Imma bout to knock off your head if you don't stfu. ok Imma explain something before Ya'll get upset, T>T I won't actually hurt this guy and uhm it's not a FNAF knockoff G.O Parsons the creator had confirmed that during the making of Willy's Wonderland and before, he had no idea what FNAF was, and he got inspired to make it because he did plays, small shows etc., then a friend of his suggested that he turn his ideas into something that would last forever, a movie so Willy's Wonderland was created

[@Chimeratech_O.D.]

Always had the fan theory that the Sheriff was related to the human Willy, possibly lovers or something? Seeing as she seems to be on Willy's side beyond reason.

[@arkthegreenwolfx3627]

So the FNAF movie when it comes out, what are my predictions, well I can't spoil much since you're not caught up with FNAF lore yet, but I hope that "Mike" the guard from the first game is the protagonist, and that William Afton/Springtrap is the Antagonist. Edit: also I hope that Willem Dafoe whose most known for Green Goblin in the Raimi films, actually plays William, maybe there's better picks, but I'm going off the top of my head

@@calebgoodman3028 yeah that was so dumb

[@RaptorNX01]

The sheriff handcuffed the girl there cause that was their house. if it wasn't clear, the sheriff had raised the girl after finding her hiding after one of the sacrifices. On the green screen, funnily enough, it doesn't look nearly as bad in my copy of the movie. noticeable, but not as bad as shown here. odd that. The box office was that low because it was mostly just on streaming and BO numbers don't include streaming revenue. this was at the height of covid and very few theaters were open. it made enough that there is a sequel in the works. Fun Fact: the director had the idea for the film before FNAF even existed, and had never even heard of FNAF till after the first trailer came out and people started making the comparison. the story was actually based on him visiting an old restaurant that had similar animatronics as entertainment (not chuckee cheese) but saw how run down and creepy they looked and got the idea of them coming to life. Another is that Cage said he'd only do the film if they filmed the script he had been given. he loved it so much he didn't want them to change anything about the story. A bit about this movie NC actually misses, when the girl is explaining how these creepers escaped capture by moving their souls into these animatronics she says they "Transferred their Katra's into the animatronics". its actually a reference to star trek. in the 3rd movie they explained the character spock survived his apparent "death" by moving his "katra" into another character Dr McCoy. Katra being the Vulcan word for soul or eternal living spirit.

[@RaptorNX01]

the break thing, Tex tells Cage he needs to take regular breaks. its a throw away line, but the Janitor takes it literally. sets his watch and stops whats he's doing to take a break periodically. he spends his breaks cleaning the pin ball machine and getting it working again.

[@Trilaan]

Kyle needs to be acquainted with Return to OZ(1985). The Nostalgia Critic does cover it so Kyle can do that video for the channel but, Kyle, on your own I would recommend the video done by the KZbin channel In Praise of Shadows.
