Bad Movie Review: Digital Man

[@markiangooley]

To use a sometimes-ignored meaning of “digital”: Digital Man! He has FINGERS!

[@jfess1911]

Reminds me of the old joke that I can easily count to 10, 20 twenty without shoes, and 21 if I take my pants off.

[@cujoedaman]

He identifies as binary! Get it? Because computers are binary? Yeah, I'll see myself out...

[@markiangooley]

I wear glasses, digital hearing aids, and a blood glucose sensor. Arguably I’m a cyborg too!

[@AquamentusLives]

🤖

[@ItsClodsire]

Definitely a cyborg.

[@jfess1911]

My biggest question is if we can use YOU as an intermediary when the machines take over??

[@Crash765]

I have a knee replacement and a shoulder replacement. I'm getting there.

[@tuckerbowen4626]

I could very well be wrong, but i think the difference between just 'cybernetically enhanced' and full 'cyborg' depends on whether the brain is also part machine

[@doublep1980]

It's basically discount Universal Soldier/Terminator with Matthias Hues.

[@mnky75]

Kind of disappointed the Main Villain wasn't "Analogue Dude"!

[@timtheskeptic1147]

Or Punch Card Pimp. Clockwork Homie.

[@kaiokendo]

Or just UGH

[@bostonrailfan2427]

technically, wasn’t he? a regular scumbag, no electrics added onto him

[@kemmdog4444]

It’s always good to see Matthias Hues of I Come in Peace.

[@ScaryBaldMan]

The young hick woman, Susie, was Chase Masterson, maybe better known as Leeta from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

[@princecharon]

Huh, she is. I thought she seemed familiar.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

huh, guess this is what Leeta does in the holosuite when not romancing Rom

[@hemidas]

80's and 90's straight to video movies will always be a guilty pleasure for me.

[@pierregirard1970]

Sincerely I don't feel any guilt about that pleasure !😊

[@bostonrailfan2427]

@@pierregirard1970it’s the pleasure in some that brings the guilt 😉

[@bostonrailfan2427]

ditto..spent way too much money on those movies in the 90s

[@herbertkeithmiller]

0:11 You got to admit that the scene at the start of the video where the guy gets literally shot through is a pretty good effect. I mean look at that again there's an explosion visible through the hole blown in his stomach. I totally buy it.

[@dbsommers1]

Same. Surprisingly great effect.

[@philipmorris4843]

Satellite dish guy is Patrick Swayze’s brother and officer is principal from Breakfast Club

[@Jellyvibe]

This actually looks kinda fun. I recognized some faces from non-schlock cinema and one voice- I’d bet real money that was Susan Tyrell as the, uh, mature hick woman. Time to hunt this one down!

[@DMfilmfan]

Glad to see someone else recognized Susan ! I loved her in "Cry Baby".

[@xkumanekox]

As cheesy and bad (quality-wise) as they are, you have to admit, these 90s B-grade sci-fi direct to video movies are just visually and aesthetically fun.

[@taionalmeida5337]

Sometimes the effort Of geting decent pratical effetcs with tigh budget and time is way more interesting than the movie itself, can't deny.

[@GoADHDGo]

I like when he said “I'm the digital man, the digital man, I can be digital as fast as you can, I can be digital as fast as you can.”

[@grapeshot]

Well he doesn't have to worry about a satellite dish anymore🤷🏿‍♂️

[@grapeshot]

If the Terminator and Kyle Reese ever teamed up.

[@SlothinAintEasy]

Holographic memory system?? The heck does that mean? I need a scientist!!

[@lloydmckay3241]

The OP did it.-Is it hologram or Holograph? The preferred word is Hologram. The dictionary defines a Holograph as a hand written document, as in a holographic will or deed. A Holographer is someone who makes holograms. Holography is the word for the technology and artform.-- Written personally by the author.--

[@mugwugthemagnificful]

The size of your gun DOES MATTER!

[@zaphodbbrox]

We have Robocop, Terminator, Aliens, Tremors... and I think that scene with Digital Man taking his armor off could be a nod to Predator.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

0:10 that was a really cool effect. I like how you can see the flame _in_ the hole in the dude. Considering the aesthetic, it would be nice to see *Death Machine* in the near future. 3:00 wow... this is a major plot point in the Dark Horse *Aliens* comics.

[@RaimoKangasniemi]

And no one shoots it in the head... 🙈

[@bensneb360]

Digital Man, much more powerful than his predecessor, Analog Man lol

[@lloydmckay3241]

Steam Punk Willie. Guy ( Fawkes) Gunpowder Man. All the way back to Cave Rock Dude.

[@paultapner2769]

I'm not entirely clear what was Digital about him. And someone should have asked Billy whether it was Digital Man that attacked him or the Satellite Dish. Because he rather implied the latter.

[@markiangooley]

He has digits! As in fingers! Of course, that makes almost any man a Digital Man.

[@TheUluxian]

A B-list Howard brother and a B-list Baldwin brother.. All we need now is a B-list Estevez for the trifecta..

[@davidmoran2296]

And add in a Swayze brother as well.

[@loumencken9644]

Adam Baldwin is not one of the Baldwin brothers. But Don Swayze, brother of Patrick Swayze, is in the cast.

[@tuckerbowen4626]

I can actually think of like five other movies Clint Howard appeared in that I'm fairly certain Ron didn't direct

[@buzzawuzza3743]

I totally understood the plot except for the parts with the robots and the people and what they were saying.

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

I see Patrick Swayze's brother Don is in this movie.

[@scottjo63]

Well damn, bad movie review?? It actually looks like a lot of fun!!

[@AlexanderBlues1228]

Love the casting!

[@tylerskiss]

I know! Is it just me or is the guy from Breakfast Club a tragically underused actor?

[@parisgreen4600]

Yup, I spotted Don Swayze (redneck guy), Ed Lauter (bald military guy) and Paul Gleason (gray-haired military guy). I'm sure I am missing some too.

[@Bluesit32]

Well...this was a movie with no real stakes. I mean, we WANT the D-1 to succeed, don't we? It isn't malfunctioning. And we certainly aren't given a reason to route for these clowns.

[@jasonblalock4429]

OK, this one looks hilarious. I may have to check it out. And you didn't even point out Paul "Principal Vernon" Gleason in the cast!

[@georgeoldsterd8994]

I have fond memories of this film. They kept showing it on tv alongside similar schlock cinema, and I was all over it! It was like Terminator, but not scary.

[@dbsommers1]

Action packed dumb fun. Works for me. And that blown hole effect at the start was actually sweet.

[@RussLudwig]

3:08 I'd pull her tag 😉 Thanks DC Reviews for a hilarious start to my week 👍

[@GleeChan]

But what about those tags?

[@alandhopewell]

Robin, this movie was nothing more than an excuse to drink mass quantities of high gravity beer with friends, and riff unmercifully.

[@TheMartinChronicles]

How great would this be if instead of "Digital Man" they called it "That Son of a Bitch that Wrecked my Satellite Dish"?

[@Ektalon]

Whatever happens inside the facility, stays inside the facility.

[@dicegeeks]

From the low budget king Phillip J Roth himself. Man, what a cast though.

[@Malum09]

Someone took a glance at Clint Howard and thought “this man could play Mission Control in anything”.

[@l.a.gothro3999]

Who remembers "My Bodyguard"?

[@jyesucevitz]

02:10 "...a malfunctioning Robocop is being hunted by the squad from aliens. in the town from tremors." you forgot to add: they were sent by Deputy Chief of Police Dwayne T Robinson from Die Hard. (or vice principal Vernon from The Breakfast Club. I think Die Hard fits this better here.)

[@Turbiales]

Hey there is a lot of support actors of my favourite series in there!

[@tylerskiss]

Wait. That actually looks pretty good.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

I could see a good sci-fi movie made around some of the concept thrown at the wall in this flick. It would only need some decently written characters, dialogues, and a plot that makes sense.

[@ericjanssen394]

7:00 - But don’t worry, as Digital Man can be defeated with the power of the Schwartz.

[@ajivins1]

I hate getting friction in 'The Squad'.

[@ChickenWyngz]

Another day, another headscratch on why Dark Corners isn't bigger

[@lloydmckay3241]

Drop links in comments on other channels.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

3:37 NO, I'm not taking this seriously

[@DMfilmfan]

4:48 awwww, why did they have to kill Cletus and Brandine? Who's going to raise their 39 children? 2:50 So the cyborgs don't realize they're not human; does this mean they were programmed to have bodily functions / b*wel movements etc to blend-in with the humans? 😕 I'm an adult cyborg, I'm programmed to think I'm human but I've never had to use the bathroom; maybe I need to increase my fiber intake .......

[@annnichols3091]

The plot appears to be a thin scaffolding on which to hang a lot of shooting and explosions.

[@thatlittlevoice6354]

Just think, not long before this, Anders was in Summer School.

[@Scatscar1985]

Paul Gleason!

[@robotrix]

D-1 (Mathias Hues) was in a lot of cool B movies. Still is. But the one you should do is I Come In Peace a/k/a Dark Angel.

[@davidchurch5932]

Plot? Plot... Nope. None of that new fangled stuff here.

[@dkamphaus43]

I hope this gets a blu ray release soon.

[@RavenHouseMystery]

The cast alone makes me curious to watch it. Looks like the film got a lot of use out of Vasquez Rocks too.

[@noahbody9747]

What this film needed was Tobor, the 8th man to combat digital man.

[@eddysgaming9868]

One of those actors was the late Patrick Swayze's brother. Why cyborgs and what was the purpose of their mission? So you could have another movie featuring typical 80's action movie tropes. Looks good for a laugh.

[@JeffreyDeCristofaro]

What the hell!? I just looked up this one's credits on IMDB and Andy Sedaris wasn't even involved! It pretty much has most of the tropes that distinguish his movies and could have used WAY more smoking hot babes, some who COULD have been cyborgs like the late Julie Strain - SUCH a missed opportunity!!!

[@Evilgrebo]

God damn I've been trying to remember this film for years.

[@davidj.thompson]

Mathias and Patrick Swayze's brother in the same movie!? At least, I'm pretty sure it's them...

[@mariakelly90210]

2:26 Is that Daniel Dae Kim?

[@dad_jokes_4ever226]

Cool theyre using bazookoids from Red Dwarf

[@NinjaNezumi]

The only possible plot was for the bad guy to use his corrupted bad guy robot to kill the only soldiers that could track them down and kill them, then escape with the information and the super soldier to sell to the highest bidder. But it's clear that wasn't in the movie unless you missed something.

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

Wasn't that main dude in Leprechaun? And Summer School? 🤔

[@jamesabernethy7896]

Chase Masterson and Adam Baldwin are in this. I approve of this movie.

[@TheMadAfrican1]

What you mean "rare" sighting? Clint Howard has given memorable performances in so many great horror films!

[@geraldmartin7703]

Ice Cream Man (1995)?

[@TheMadAfrican1]

​@@geraldmartin7703Ticks! Silent Night Deadly Night 4 (or 3?). Quite a few others. Guy gets around. He does the kooky weirdo character well.

[@jonathanmulondo9206]

The 80s and 90s had the wackiest SciFi B movies

[@varanid9]

I normally don't like low budget cyberpunk, but the cast alone makes this one seem like bad movie fun.

[@thribs]

Aren’t cyborgs supposed to be part human? They’re not fully robots

[@davidlionheart2438]

You had me at Susan Tyrell and Matthias Hues sans shirt.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I have heard of Digital Man. But I've never watched it.

[@diegoferreiro9478]

Looks like Robocop had became Cyborg Putin.

[@davidromeroblaya7920]

Of course, they are ninjas in this movie. Why not?

[@comicsdude3166]

08:18 epic murder😂😂

[@l.a.gothro3999]

Who's seen "Ice Cream Man" with Clint Howard in the role of the ICM?

[@indigoyarkindell968]

hey, it has chase masterson. that's worth it right there. too bad she doesn't make it to the end

[@Lou_Tenant1]

I'm not gonna lie, I really like the look of this film.

[@heidifedor]

Isn’t that Patrick Swayze’s brother?

[@nobudgetshortfilms5510]

It's amazing how The Terminator spawned so many ripoffs in the 80's.

[@lloydmckay3241]

Aside from being a bad movie, it looks hilarious.

[@boofuls]

Think thats patrick swayzes brother

[@OUTSIDER40]

I barely remember this movie, thanks for making this video 👍

[@mikaelolsson9123]

Are you sure this isn't supposed to be a parody?

[@lloydmckay3241]

Too sincere for that.

[@itowmyhome797]

Thank you

[@kaiokendo]

1:32 austION Powers exists???

[@alejandrocasalegno1657]

"Nemesis" is have SOME argument...............................this not...............

[@grapeshot]

Animal Mother

[@a.champagne6238]

90's straight-to-video movies are just too soulless to enjoy on any level. As bad as Ed Wood or Jerry Warren films were, they at least had personality.

[@nicholsliwilson]

0:45 compensating? 1:58 they look more like a team of airsoft weenees to me? Off to play soldier with their toy guns again? 😄

[@thrashpondopons8348]

Seems a little 'Blade Runner' in there as well!

[@jyesucevitz]

1:24 you didn't follow "it" or you couldn't follow"it"?

[@superhetoric]

Susan Tyrrell is a marvel

[@cord113]

Look out for the modern remake: Non-Binary Man!

[@FuglyStick]

You all are obsessed

[@einarvalentinoronn9870]

I come in peace 😁

[@annnichols3091]

Is this movie confusing "cyborg" with "android"? A Cyborg IS human.

[@garyhall7867]

Didnt know Theo Von did movies

[@ericalbany]

The "B Team"

[@diegoferreiro9478]

"You don't want to know about C Team" (Robot Chicken)

[@countgeekula9143]

Looks rubbish but fun. Some decent production value there and a few recognisable actors. Might have to watch it.

[@inanimatecarbongod]

Jesus Christ, I've seen episodes of early 70s Doctor Who with better green-screening...

[@FFSamurai]

Robocop without the intentional humor. What is even the point?

[@lloydmckay3241]

The unintentional. And the money.

[@a.champagne6238]

The stereotypical trailer park couple was the movie's attempt at humor.
