BMX Bandits review (with The Nostalgia Critic)

[@jordangreen9201]

Mistress, you are the overlord I dreamt of becoming as a child.

[@Cybermat47]

She's the overlord I dream of SERVING as an adult.

[@jong4tv]

I never knew this crossover exist.

[@Safersephiroth777]

Me too.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

This is actually one of 2 crossovers with the nostalgia critic

[@MagsPM]

Me neither. I just searched for it on the off chance that their review of Heavy Metal wasn’t the only crossover they did

[@missemeriin]

General Anesthetic is such a gloriously shitty human, I love and miss him (and PQH).

[@SuperDarthKelly]

I cannot get over the fact that apparently construction crews and the police and criminals all use the same frequency

[@tammyr.5203]

Oh...this was too much fun to watch! Diamanda has some great collabs and I really appreciate the humor of it all!

[@cptnhknx7303]

Did NC totally reference Film Brain at 25:55? Yes, he did!!

[@JackieTheCatfox]

Hands up: who would watch a Count Jackula - Nostalgia Critic crossover?

[@calebmayfield3326]

+ladydiskette I'd rather have Jackula crossover with Hagan

[@justindenney-hall5875]

@@calebmayfield3326 I'd love to see both those crossovers !

[@sebastianemond5313]

Great crossover I find is the Haunted Mansion review with Some Jerk With A Camera, Count Jackula, and Horror Guru. No offense to Doug, but I found that funnier than his review. Just like I found Blockbuster Buster's review of Justice League (2017) with Linkara and Obscurus Lupa funnier than Doug's review.

[@DonAltopio]

try Blacula 😂 its a movie .... and Sweet Jesus Preacherman 🤣

[@Thecountjackulashows]

Shots fired at: 16:06

[@DiamandaHagan]

+The Count Jackula Show I'm pretty sure iv hear you say that stuff before:P

[@1krani]

+The Count Jackula Show 16:28 You know, that's a good point, Jack. Why _haven't_ you tortured the Critic with one of your movies?

[@adamshirk8562]

+DiamandaHagan Hail Hagan!

[@chravenschronicles7387]

please do a review of the sequel to return of the living dead dude, it would be incredible and id pay...............a few dollars for it lol

[@DiamandaHagan]

Me or Jackula?

[@nothingtoseehere705]

"Serious Road? That's where Einstein discovered beer!" I don't know if I should be happy or sad I got that reference.

[@AnimeShmanimay87]

Sorry for my late reply to this. But once again thank you so much for having me in your review. I am grateful :)

[@paysonterhune290]

I just realized this was the inspiration for that Angel Summoner and the BMX Bandit sketch on Mitchell and Webb, lol

[@paysonterhune290]

Right after I posted this you used a clip from the sketch and now I feel like an idiot. OH WELL

[@amberace]

You do awesome crossovers with the Critic.

[@potatoradio]

I remember being 10 and watching this, thinking I will get rich and famous when I grow up. I will find the curly red haired actress, who because she is a child actress probably, will be working as a waitress or something, and I will sweep her off her feet. AAAAANNNND yeah Nicole Kidman...

[@SpeedyEric1]

9:42- "Oh, don't you talk about my boxes! I LIKE BOXES!"

[@angeloszormpas8427]

For anyone intersted Brian Trenchard Smith, the director, appears regurarly on Trailers from Hell (a show on KZbin where directors and such like Joe Dante, Mick Garris and other discuss old movies thru their trailers). He has talked about a lot of his movies, his most recent one being about BMX bandits, where he reminisces about working with Nicole Kidman and how this lead to her next role.

[@Rexaura888]

Eyyy, Doug's finally on the board with the Beyond Thunderdome joke.

[@TailsFan369no2]

Don’t get comfortable

[@doubledamn2599]

Given the various Australian horror films mentioned in this review, Diamanda, have you seen the 2010 Aussie horror movie 'Primal'?

[@SchazmenRassir]

Okay, as much fun as this movie is, that... that bank robbery planning skit you guys did? That made me laugh so hard, I had to pause the video to wipe my eyes. And I don't even know why it was so funny! Delivery is everything in comedy, I doth suspect!

[@DiamandaHagan]

:). I can't take credit for the shooting, acting, directing of that sketch, it was all Timid Jester (who did Screen Crashers on Channel Awesome) They're really talented I've written another sketch they'll be doing in my upcoming August Underground review.

[@wolfwing1]

The demonstrating the bank heist at the bank reminds me of the skit about faking the moon landing on the moon :>

[@brianfuller7691]

I did remember this movie and that it began Nicole Kidman's career. Pretty fun.

[@ZoanBlade90]

5:04 And suddenly, it's the plot to either Payday, or Hotline Miami. How long until a guy wearing a letter jacket and an Owl mask carrying a rifle shows up?

[@yairalanis8992]

this is what, the second or third cross over with the NC? Are you trying to compete with the Snob to see who can have more cross over videos with him? XD

[@yairalanis8992]

i wrote this while watching the review, then by then end Brad is mentioned...tough competition i see XD

[@DigiRangerScott]

~13:22 Hey! I know that music! ARE THEY GONNA JOIN THE POLICE FORCE?

[@chravenschronicles7387]

thank you so much for doing another review with doug

[@DiamandaHagan]

It was an honour, he's brilliant.

[@ZoanBlade90]

3:38 Ok. (Looks up trailer for Turbo Kid) ...Good Lord, this is awesome! =D

[@Crowley9]

11:22 Heavy Metal? My good lady, that is from what is perhaps Frank Frazetta's single most iconic Conan the Barbarian painting!

[@benjaminrubin2178]

I found this movie (if something is slightly less than an hour in length, does it still count as a movie) that is a CG animated retelling of the story of Joshua. The characters are supposed to be bipedal lions, but they don't look like them due to the fact the animation is worse than Reboot. Also one of the female Lions has a mane. Make of that what you will. It's all available for free on Dailymotion: www.dailymotion.com/video/xwe1to_joshua-and-the-promised-land-wmv_shortfilms?start=694#.UW1udCtvtQc

[@mastermarkus5307]

+Benjamin Rubin Oh god, that is some hot garbage right there.

[@ikarikid]

So fun fact: the John Waters references are just confusing to those who only know the celebrated Australian actor and Play School host of that name. Who isn’t gay, isn’t known for directing and is known for having a more tasteful repertoire. (Yes, John Waters and not John Hamlin)

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Ah easy............. stage 1 grab girl. Stage 2 ....... And stage 3 profit!!! Evey gnome know that!!

[@jessaminehaak8253]

I'm SO happy about that Angel Summoner joke XD

[@PhoenixHealing]

As much as I love Mistress my favorite episodes are crossovers because I love to see her torment other reviewers. It is not only entertaining but it introduces me to new critics I have never even heard of: Magic Steve, the Rap Critic, that cute Christian guy (can't remember his name), and the Viking guy. But most of all screwing screwing with NC that is pure gold :-)

[@JenniferEKirk]

Wow! An amazingly small world. I've been watching the Critic for years. Today I wondered what you were up to, and here you both are! What's not to like?

[@DiamandaHagan]

Hey Jenny, just followed you on Twitter :). Whats not to like? The vid:P I ruined it!

[@JenniferEKirk]

Thanks! You do yourself down without cause to. I'd wondered where you were hiding. Very impressed to see you have been ever so busy!

[@jamesbevan9939]

The actor portraying The Boss looks like a hybrid of Charles Bronson and Dick van Dyke.

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Nicole Kidman acted before the US? Interesting

[@robo-nidai4236]

"The killer from Scream isn't this incompetent. I'm not talking about the good ones. I'm talking about Scream 4 and the TV show." Implying Scream 3 is one of the good ones. That's a bold move, cotton.

[@its-morbintime]

As one of your Australian fans - I've never heard of this film and whats sad is that as far as kids entertainment from Australia goes - this probably looks like the best we've got! This also came from the era when our film industry was at its most consistently good both in terms of commercial success AND quality (the 70's, 80's and about half the 90's, maybe) - not saying other films from later or earlier points in our industry were bad, just...those that were were films that were literally buried underneath crap ones and generally half a decade apart, if you were lucky. Just saying, if you WERE to go looking, you'd be able to find far worse movies from Australia than this. Particularly before the era I specified.

[@DiamandaHagan]

+Morbius Fitzgerald Yeah, I could watch Strike of the Panther!

[@its-morbintime]

+DiamandaHagan Or OZ a 1976 rock opera thats an "Australian-ified" version of The Wizard Of Oz which has a tagline that says everything with "Take a trip down the highway with Dorothy" or the cheesier "Follow the Yellow Rock Road" and has the biggest star of the film be Bruce Spence who was Jedediah The Pilot in Beyond Thunderdome...see what I did there? Its also, obviously, not directed by Brian Trenchard Smith but it honestly looks like they were trying to go with a Ziggy Stardust fever dream, then ran out of money so they put three quarters of it in the outback (I'm using the trailer to justify that conclusion as I can't find a copy of the fucking film) - so its basically The Adventures Of Priscilla for the 1970s

[@macacofrito]

''poor susan boyle" i lost it man

[@wolfwing1]

best line evah, "Thank god for that." Diamanda hagan, "Your welcome."

[@natp8387]

Just to clarify for the Critic...... I in fact did not enjoy Fury Road. Because Max spent the whole movie being a bitch, an ass, or a generic crazy man he's never been before, and the damn movie sure didn't hammer home that there was a shortage of gas, food, or bullets in that universe. But compared to BMX Bandits, that movie was divine!

[@jantzenbruce2155]

I just went to see Turbo Kid at your behest and came back. I f$&king loved it. 🤯🤩🤖🦄🌈

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

bulk and skull music at 13:22!! Hagan I love you!

[@DiamandaHagan]

+Bobby Torres At the last minute I cut out a line where I called them 'Li'l Bulk' :)

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

+DiamandaHagan really?

[@DiamandaHagan]

+Bobby Torres Yup. The performance wasnt great and since it was right before the bit with the music it wasnt needed.

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

DiamandaHagan well the music conveys the humor on its own, well done

[@AdmiralThrawn.ImperialNavy]

Wow Hagan, The cinematography makes you look genuinely terrifying.

[@DiamandaHagan]

+Darth Mallius Check out the flubs to see how it looked when I started my post production wizardy! :)

[@Zombihamster]

When Nostalgia Critic quotes toecutter but cant handle the Australian accents ,I think In the original Australian version of Mad Max, Toecutter speaks the line "Jessy, Jessy, you've not got a sense of humor" in a Scottish accent?!?

[@juliomorales6898]

Can I just say that its amazing that you get The Vaults of Extoth to do covers of the other persons theme for your crossovers!!! Here, the Cinema Snob, Linkara, a lot more that im not remembering. That's really awesome cos nobody else has done anything like that and its a really inventive touch. How do you get them to do so many covers for you?

[@DiamandaHagan]

We're friends and they sell copies of the covers they do :). Ever heard the monk-ish Filmbrain cover?

[@juliomorales6898]

DiamandaHagan Yes on the Merlin review, its great. I'm definitely gonna have to check them out further. It's really kickass that you've of all these different takes, its a really nice touch and no other reviewer has ever done that; massive praise for that! Thank you!!!

[@Axaul]

Probably worth mentioning that the misogynystic bmx comp at the end refers to the Sydney suburb of Manly, but yeah it's a strange name for a suburb when you think of it

[@T5ComixCartoonz]

23:04 ...and here I thought the "3 Ninjas" movies were silly. XD 25:54 Somewhere in England (I'd like to imagine) FilmBrain just cried out in rage without knowing exactly why. XD

[@revolverocelot-rx2mf]

Baby driver stole planing a bank heist with hot wheels.

[@roberthullah8619]

This film is a disease and my immune system has purged it from my memory. I remember even less about this than I did Reb Browns Captain America dispite watching this several times. That being said, fun review as always but I'll skip reinfection and avoid a repeat viewing. Have you seen "The Dirt Bike Kid", another staple of my youth which I remember alot more of.

[@sebastianemond5313]

Be honest, between BMX Bandits and Rad, which is the lesser of two evils?

[@sebastianemond5313]

At least this movie had a young Nicole Kidman. I thought the earliest role for her was Dead Calm, which btw was done by George Miller.

[@ikarikid]

I've sat through the movie more than once. I remember enough to be able to vouch for the silent-movie music.

[@MrRimant]

Actually Diamanda if you look closely during the lead into the bank robbery you can clearly see that all of the robbers are wearing latex gloves.

[@joethehero2]

I applaud you for going so long before making a Mitchell and Webb reference.

[@jordangreen9201]

I'm 80% sure that's Nicole Kidman singing @ 18:44

[@butchdeadlift10]

On the subject of radio waves and walky talkies. I AM NOT SURE how it works in Australia, but in the USA, radio wave frequencies generally divide up like this. 1) Military frequencies. 2) Airline frequencies 3) telecommunications signals (phone companies) 4) radio broadcast frequencies 5) Short range frequencies Category 5 is mostly police and fire use and there are only about 9 channels available for them to use. I was a radio operator with a california park service for 4 years. Because of shared frequencies, I heard most of the fire department and police for a 20 mile radious. AND, in emergencies, we all generally switch to the same one on one channel for radio (that is still an anyone-can-tune-in-radio-wave, but it is procedure/etiquette not to eat up time on that wavelength). And, this I did not study for, the only difference between a police radio and a walky talky is power to affect range. I can remember (pre cell phone) at comic conventions, me and my friends using walky talkies to stay connected, but every time we walked near the firetrucks or cops outside the plaza, we got their signals. We were on the same wavelength, we just had shittier equipment that could not emit or recieve longer range signals. So, in this movie, yeah, I can see this radio mix up happening easily. THOUGH the director overrated the tech literacy of the audience. So it ruins suspension of disbelief by being realistic, ironically.

[@Azrael666Azazel]

Bit of a weirdo because I did actually pause the review to watch Turbo Kid, my friend owns a copy, and I have to say holy fuck that was awesome. Thanks Hagan.

[@DiamandaHagan]

+Azrael666Azazel SOMEONE GETS IT!

[@PosthumanHeresy]

I like the Vaults of Extoth cover of The Review Must Go On.

[@drdogface3]

Next on Hagan: Angel Summoners

[@destendgem]

Give it a year Critic, she'll be legal by Chicago standards. Or move to Australia. She's already legal age there.

[@paysonterhune290]

You and Nostalgia Critic ought to do an It/Patch Adams mashup.

[@brittanyyates2563]

20:29 Lupin the third???

[@DreamBelief]

I'm Australian. I asked around and none of the other Australians I know are aware of this movie either lol.

[@DreamBelief]

Huh? Why does even an Australian film have stereotypical accents? We don't sound like that (some sound normal, but several definitely don't, and I've lived all across the country)! I expect that from a foreign film, but an Australian one? Did they think it won't sell as well without the hammed up 'Australian' accent foreigners are used to?

[@CyberSpider35]

And thank you for recomending Turbo Kid - this movie is truely awesome!

[@Reubel]

Huh, a reference to Young Einstein. That was... not expected, but makes kind of sense in context (if said context is Wacky Aussie Shenanigans).

[@patrickkelmer6290]

I would actually love to see the both of you review Beyond Thunderdome!

[@PhoenixHealing]

I have watched this episode going on ten times now and I still can't figure out what General Aesthetic says when he points the gun at Critic: Critic "E tu General Anesthetic from Pop Quiz Hot shots?" General: "Eh something something never stopped me from betraying someone before." What did he say I can't figure it out?

[@DiamandaHagan]

'eh, Latin never stopped me..'

[@PhoenixHealing]

DiamandaHagan thank you Mistress it was driving me crazy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@VulpusArmory]

Hagan, you cruel thing, why did you make him listen to that?

[@MsDjessa]

In Finland sixteen is the legal age. So I could look at Nicole Kidman like that. *John Jarrat laughter from Wolf Creek*

[@stanwinslow1068]

Welp, turbo kid is the best thing to happen to me in weeks now to un-pause the the review. Hail Hagan I guess.

[@Mattwav]

I love this film! grew up watching it in the 80s

[@PhoenixHealing]

This movie finally helped me to understand the insane Australian Overlords who own the company I work for.

It was getting scary waiting that long for a Yahoo Serious joke.
