Bad Movie Beatdown Presents: Metal Man (AKA Iron Hero) (w/

[@AlexanderFort]

Matt and Allison still have 10 times more chemistry pretending to be awkward than any people in this movie do.

[@kingofthegundam7974]

I wanna see Metal Man and Bulk team up in an Avengers style movie.

[@rec0nzzz10]

ME TOO 🤓

[@anubusx]

Along with Almighty Thor.

[@ellnats]

NO YOU DONT!!!

[@tylerskiss]

And Black Cougar!

[@TurboSilke]

@@anubusx speaking of thor, if this avengers style movie happens, somone should get in a time machine and pick up Jon Mikl Thor as Triton in rock n roll nightmare!

[@stefanfilipovits9221]

A Film Brain and Lupa crossover?! Dreams really do come true.

[@christiegreenwood2642]

The main actor is in his mid thirties, playing a teenager / very young adult, and he says "right on" to his parents. Okay, that's pretty hilarious. Where has this movie been all my life? Love the review.

[@tiffanyb94]

Loved watching Film Brain and Lupa collab, they play well off of each other.

[@matieubissonnette3212]

I feel like it's worth noting that the tagline "Part Man, Part Machine, All Hero" is one of the taglines for Robocop.

[@desshinta9428]

I have remembered this review and that movie solely for the bafflement Felt when I saw the 'suit', and realized they'd used a Toy Kabuto Zecter from Kamen Rider Kabuto as their prop belt. was freaking Surreal.

[@otaking3582]

And they ruined by ripping the horn off! Those bastards!

[@desshinta9428]

I know, right? don't they know selling that on Ebay would probably have made them more than this movie? 'least at the time it came out?

[@TheArceusftw]

So... these people can afford to import a Kabuto Zecter, yet they couldn't afford to make this movie not look like it had the budget of a ham sandwich?

[@jackrose4130]

I love thier "we dont give a fuck, lets just have fun" attitude

[@otaking3582]

These people paid money to import a Kabuto Zector from Japan and then they ripped the horn off of it?! WHY?! They could've made their own belt or not have a belt on the suit at all instead of ruining a perfectly good Kamen Rider toy and thus inflating the price of them on eBay!

[@joshuaward337]

+Otaking Mikohani My thoughts exactly, i had to google a still to see which Rider belt it was, way to deface an awesome toy movie!

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

+Otaking Mikohani To be fair, they could always glue the thing back on after they're done with it. ^_^;

[@LoverGetamped]

i feel bad for the zecter.... i dont even own one.....

[@ellnats]

IKR, ive seen the prices those go for and they could really dent the budget here

[@ellnats]

IKR!!!!!!!!!

[@Lost-Lilim]

8:37 to the right of villain guy, is that... it is: cop and live action Bulk double from the Incredible Bulk. What a stellar career arc.

[@josephschultz3301]

Lupa's into during this episode is absolutely perfect.

[@JamiJR]

I'm so grateful for internet reviewers who watch bad movies so I can know not to. Thank you for rescuing me from bad movies! Now, if only we could have a BMB of older movies like Billy The Kid VS Dracula and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter.

[@steveharvey2102]

Hi, I think the Cinema snob reviewed those two. Cheers.

[@Safersephiroth777]

True that.

[@JamiJR]

Steve Harvey He has not done Billy The Kid VS Dracula. I asked him and he said he wouldn't do that one because he liked the acting of the guy playing Dracula.

[@steveharvey2102]

Are you saying that the "Cinema Snob" did not review "Billy the Kid Vs Dracula"? Check out "TVDB" for a full episode guide. Season 6, Episode 8 was "Billy the kid Vs Dracula". The review itself can be seen on the "Cinema Snob's" website. It's a great review BTW.

[@arx3516]

I once watched an Asylum movie with my 12 years old nephew, is it child abuse?

[@nurse425]

25:41 THIS scene almost killed me, LMAO!

[@Shiirow]

The unexplained aspects of this movie can be summed up in two words "Nanomachines, son"

[@Ticketman99]

Shiirow LMAO

[@tintinismybelgian]

The plot is stolen from Back to the Future. A student eats breakfast with his less-than-stellar family, discovers that he is late for school, hangs out with an older scientist who is in business with dangerous people and then becomes stuck inside the scientist's latest project just around the time he sees the scientist die.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Feel like your kind of reaching.

[@aussieman3021]

And the piece of musical score starting from 3:26 sounded like it was lifted from E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.

[@WileyCylas]

Not many people can handle being a ginger, not even yours truly. Lupa was born to be a redhead

[@pittypolyphonic]

I love how he has the kabuto belt and zecter

[@talunmcgee5414]

kamen rider kabtuo kamen rider kabuto

[@Wizza2418]

With the horn ripped off.

[@MiXVoy]

the buckle was a morpher from Kamen Rider Kabuto, based on a beetle

[@talunmcgee5414]

kamen rider kabuto morpher buckle

[@Wizza2418]

Rider belt or driver.

[@Blacknight8850]

You know, if this weren't made by idiots this story could actually have been salvaged if they made it into a body horror plot. Take out the "Makes it easy!" bits like being able to hide the suit and disguise his identity, and have Kyle loses his mind at being trapped forever in a weaponized exoskeleton with only the consciousness of the man who did it to him for company. "Kyle, stop! You'll kill him!" " _I know._ " Of course, I've basically just described _David Cronenberg's _*_Guyver: The Bioboosted Armour_* and now I'm all sad because that'll never be a thing.

[@SciFiFan2012]

Ummm, when dollar store 'Iron Man' is fighting near the black minivan with the tough guy, it turns into a white car @ 19:00.

[@brianfuller5868]

Allison's collaborations with Matthew were great. I've actually seen this and it is a turkey,

[@EzraColdsGarage]

Well when it comes who is the most annoying on the site, I think we all know who that is now.... Mike michod...

[@metamorpheus9573]

I was wondering what the bastard child of Iron Man and a grey alien would look like.

[@mungdaal9643]

Iron Hero sounds like Kylo Ren

[@Tareltonlives]

The Title is like something out to Bootleg Zones

[@Seanatonin]

We need more Allison/Mathew reviews

[@Shamandigi62091]

This movie becomes more awesome if you imagine that dr Blake is Reggie banister from phantasm and the helmet was going to be a weapon against the tall man

[@ninjaturtlefan2003]

12:47 Wait so does this mean it's part of the MCU? The Mockbuster Cinematic Universe?

[@Victorblud]

Okay...so...the bad guy put the helmet on and it worked. Great. The other guy is in a fully enclosed mechanical suit that gives him, among other abilities, enhanced strength. How does the bad guy plan to win a fist fight with the hero when all he has is the helmet?

[@farseerflore9512]

I love film brain and nine times out of ten I'm not a fan of cross overs, but adding Lupa instantly makes anything ten times better, just like Tekken music.

[@CButtonshaw]

Makes Asylum looks good lol

[@mickeyd343]

For some reason, I feel like playing Mega Man right now.

[@jaxixteen]

I would rather play mega man 2

[@SpeedyEric1]

Nice timing, Matthew, on posting this review on KZbin around the time Captain America: Civil War opens in theaters.

[@adankseasonads935]

I'm sorry, but trapping someone in a suit and forcing yourself inside, is not only kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment, it's borderline rape.

[@countD8852]

That's not Metal Jesus...Metal Jesus reviews video games on youtube, he doesn't beat up rapists and cartoon henchmen.

[@magnamon2099]

call me crazy... BUT I THINK THOSE BASTARDS STOLE THE BELT FROM KAMEN RIDER KABUTO?!

[@tallymatt65]

they did, they totally did

[@SuperWolsey]

Quick! Someone call Toei so they can erradicate Midnight Screenings

[@thegogglehero3629]

they did and ripped the horn off of it....

[@LoverGetamped]

that's wad i thought...poor horn...

[@N1CK0FDEST1NY]

Your work with computerated tissue engineering.... Fuck me that's art.

[@squadieeljh]

That is the best opening for a crossover ever.

[@Salixa456]

This movie was basically Starkid with more sexy times.

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

I would give anything to see Starkid on Movie Nights.

[@WinterSteele]

Not sure how I missed this review when it originally came out in 2012, but I'm glad to finally see it now!

[@Blacknight8850]

+Winter Steele For some reason a lot of the crossover CA videos ended up going up on the Nostalgia Critic's Blip channel (even though Doug wasn't in them) as a sort of 'misc' section for embedding on the site. I know there was at least one other FilmBrain/Lupa review and a few others, which hopefully haven't been lost in the Blip shuffle!

[@Geek_Chorus]

Lupa seems to be channeling Phealous at times lol great review!

[@TurboSilke]

well, googling count smokula was worth it, there is even a religion on his not very up to date webpage!

[@sharonpereira4501]

Such a great crossover.

[@GalanDun]

Iron Hero/Metal Man looks like someone repainted Ultron to look like Iron Man.

[@MusicalSeizureGuy]

Lupa?!? Awesome man! Great vid, your hair is looking great also. Was kinda getting thin there, I only kid of course. In the last year I've gone almost completely bald.

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

Does anyone notice that Metal Man's belt look like the Kamen Rider Kabuto's Rider Belt with the Kabuto Zecter?

[@alexanderfix3629]

Isaac Adam If the other comments are anything to go by, it's a Kabuto Zector toy with it's horn removed.

[@TheMellowFilmmaker]

Film Brain and Lupa are competing for who is most annoying is funny (though I love them both), especially since they both lose now.

[@MasterrangerABR]

Correct me if I'm wrong but his belt is a kabuto zecter henshin belt, was this originally a kamen rider kabuto fan film?

[@tyrxian6452]

MasterrangerABR it IS the Kabuto belt. sadly, it's not related to the plot

[@turogamer-oi4nq]

i think i recognise the belt its a kamen rider HENSHIN (transformation) device or a kamen rider driver. it fuckin is its the kamen rider kabuto zector

[@ellnats]

is that a kamen rider kabuto belt metal man is wearing?

[@thegogglehero3629]

um 8:36 the helmet is still in the case!

[@DigiRangerScott]

OMG! This review is finally on a Film Brain channel! I only ever saw it on the Nostalgia Critic Blip channel

[@Mviews-hb4ib]

His non skid ass-mat is a pretty good idea and a first i think in movies? Thinking about it, Robocop, Stormtroopers etc have smooth plastic or metal, one wrong slip on the wrong surface and their arses are sledges .. very dangerous. So kudos to the Director for that one since im sure he will of designed it ... great vid as always !

[@gaminggoof1542]

That was actually pretty fun to watch. The fight scenes are honestly pretty cool

[@BurningAzure]

0:15, That aged about as well as an ice cube in the summer heat.

[@BigGator5]

Just so you guys know in case you miss it, this is an old 2012 review. Obscurus Lupa has sadly not returned to Channel Awesome.

[@BesterP12]

Well obviously. OLtL was cancelled years ago.

[@BigGator5]

***** No, she left. I don't know if she made the jump from Blip to KZbin, because I honestly can't find her.

[@RichardWatt]

@@BigGator5 late reply: Lupa's KZbin channel is now called Movie Nights.

[@t.o.toonstubetwo.4138]

17:03 Well maybe the doctor A.I. can teach him how to make more

[@TailsFan369no2]

I can't tell whether this was filmed at a convention or just one of those "business trip invites" that you used to do

[@somebastardontheinternet]

I decided to google "Count Smokula." Don't google "Count Smokula," it is extremely, disturbingly, depressingly bad.

[@davidbanner7804]

Metal man, Bulk ,Black Bat, and Captain Battle should team up .....

[@Wizza2418]

Black bat?

[@megamage911]

21:47 Lulz, looks like an episode of the Casting Couch :P

[@projectmatrix1]

So is there one of these backyard homemade movies that's actually good?

[@darkhall8227]

how the hell did this even land on dvd on uk dvd pound shops

[@theotherghostgirl337]

I miss lupa:(

[@FilmBrain]

You can find her on her channel, Movie Nights! She's still making videos.

[@thegr8n84ever6]

Where is Lupas reviews?

[@jamesmcgrath1952]

OK, I think I'll just watch The Guyver.

[@quinnzykir]

15:02. Pradect? What's a pradect? ooh project.

[@KrossShadow]

The main actor looks like Dexter

[@drift2196]

I..I think the metal hero suit uses a belt from kamen rider Kabuto....the fuck?

[@christinawilkephillips7684]

Omg an eposode I hadn't seen! bloody brilliant! :-D

[@angelmarie2]

RIP One Life to Live. 😂

[@alexanderfix3629]

Is it just me it does the suit's helmet kinda look like HK-47 from KOTOR?

[@PhoenixHealing]

So is Bad Movie Beatdown strictly a review of bad movies and the Projector Series involves movies Film Brain likes or no?

[@FilmBrain]

The Projector series is the latest releases in the UK that have opened ahead of the US. They are not necessarily things I like - in fact, I've reviewed several things on there I've really hated (i.e. Grismby).

[@PhoenixHealing]

Cool! Thanks Film Brain well I have some catching up to do then :-)

[@Ultrabalor]

Projector is just reviews of movies released in the UK before released in America.

[@quinnzykir]

Sucks that I've been putting off trying to do reviews and let's plays for years. Even worse that my external hard drive and capture device were destroyed in a house fire last Friday :/

[@janmikhailgaid4562]

Make way for Dr. Wily number 9...Metal Man!

[@loganm986]

Pleasant surprise with the Chris Jericho reference

[@flair541]

I actually like the costume, very Beetleborgs

[@augustwest5356]

"his test results show that he has a strong sense of right and wrong, however it does show he can improvise if need be" "youre not speaking in layman's terms" "layman's terms"?!?! WHAT THE FUCK? What about that sentence is hard to understand? And this guy is the boss of the other bad guys? Also, I don't remember taking the "Do you push the old lady down the stairs or not?" test in college. Just minutes in and Im already baffled by the stupidity of these characters and their "dialogue"..

[@bizarrenrugged3370]

I don't know which is more hilarious your reaction via long sentence or that scene you described. either way, lmaooooooooooooooo

[@kadejito1]

9:14 LMAO, her rationalization made me bust out laughing 🤣🤣🤣 18:55 This girl keeps cracking me the fack up with her deadpan observations 🤣🤣🤣. 👆 THIS is how you roast a movie's bad spots.

[@gracekim1998]

I um don’t remember when I saw this but this pretty fun😎 Probably liked in 2018 7.9.22

[@bloodrunsclear]

Just an oddity: that triumphant opening theme for this movie? Totally ripped off from a movie called Wheels of Fire.

[@bizarrenrugged3370]

This is so hilariously Bad it's good.

[@emperorsean1]

this movie is amazing terrible but hilarious

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Marvel's lawyers were really asleep at the wheel, weren't they? Fucker's even red and gold.

[@stairwayunicorn4861]

an MMPI test doesn't work that way

[@leewright1]

Kyle looks like a young Craig Scheffer.... Or present day Scheffer, but with a better "hairpiece". No, its a young Craig Scheffer WITH a better hairpiece even though he still had his own. Hair. Bring on the Lament Box so he can take on Seagal's body doubles. And voice doubles.

Glucose-based? Did the scriptwriter seriously not know the difference between nanomachines and SUGAR?!

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

I'm so confused. Who made this movie? Was it just an amateur project a few people decided to put together? How did it get released on DVD? What the fuck is this? I'm genuinely confused here.

[@grantkelly8696]

Hezekiah Ramirez I'll give you a hint. All of their movies(including this film) are so bad they're gonna send you to "The Asylum". Expect for Sharknado for some reason. And Sharknado 2. And Sharknado 3. Oh look Sharknado The 4th has Black Nerd Comedy in it. I love that guy! And Sharknado 5 doesn't look bad.

[@MatthewBanks100]

Did Film Brain lose the rights to the vocal version of his theme song?

[@FilmBrain]

I wouldn't say I had them to begin with...

[@MatthewBanks100]

Film Brain understood Film Brain! I was just curious about the change in sound

[@TheGrandOracle]

Metal Man’s voice is the worst part of this movie

[@eastbayej]

Looks like an alien mask.

this is not iron man ;-;
