Borrowing Blockbusters: The Best Worst Terminator Knock Offs, Rip-Offs and Clones

[@razorblademask]

So. I want you to know you've solved a decades long mystery for me. In ROTOR there's that silly robot cop called Willard. I was looking at him thinking "oh man. That sure looks a lot like that robot that came to the library that one day" then you said he was owned by a police department in Dallas. I'm in Texas and this was the early 90s. This robot came to our school to do some kind of presentation. I was in kindergarten at the time so I was all about it. But over the years I was the only one in my class that remembered. I've tried for many years to use every Google search terms I could to locate information about that robot and couldn't find a single thing. Until this video was suggested to me. Thank you.

The internet is making the world both bigger and smaller in a good way. I recalled two movie scenes from my childhood, no idea what either movie was. I managed to find one thanks to KZbin and google. I'm still passively looking for a movie involving a house with...er... different time periods in different rooms perhaps? I recall dinosaurs, and two men venturing into the unknown, one has a large gun and a small, offers the other the larger gun. It's a lighter.

They brought it to my school (or a very similar robot, as this was the early 90s and I was just a kiddo) one day. I think DART (the local Dallas mass transit system/company) also has their own robot in the early 90s, thought I'm not 100%.

[@prince-solomon]

[@ВиталийВитальев-д7и]

Long time ago as child I've seen tv clip with cool techno music and weird robot fights. And in high school I've found that FLA Mindphaser clip with Gunhed video. So, that's basically how I got into FrontLine Assembly music and into good 80s B-movies. I was doomed from childhood.

[@trevorbrown6654]

In Eliminators, that's Denise Crosby at 4.02, a year before Star Trek: The Next Generation started and she became better known for playing Tasha Yar. Actually it's interesting how many famous face B movie actors turn up in these clips. John Saxon, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hammil, Van Damme, Olivier Gruner, Jan Michael Vincent, Julian Sands and so on. I also love your Matt Berry reference too, although that joke may be lost on some of the non British viewers. Glad to see Eve of Destruction gets a brief mention as I remember that was released in the UK on VHS just before Terminator 2 and they really tried to cash in on the hype surrounding the T2 theatrical release with a big advertising campaign in video shops and trailering it on other rental titles. Not sure I'd agree with linking Universal Soldier here though as that was a major worldwide theatrical release in the summer of 1992 anyway and unlike almost all of the other films here, Universal Soldier had a decent production budget for the era ($23 million) whereas most of the others would have been a tenth of that at most. I'm also surprised Chuck Norris never appeared in a terminator knock off seeing as Cannon films were quick to use him to cash in on other genres.

[@DrWhom]

yeah!

[@moomah5929]

Yeah, I right away though, isn't she the Tasha Yar actress? Was also counting which actors in these movies I've seen in some classics. Like in "The Time Guardian" the guy from Dune and other movies (Dean Stockwell).

[@mordaciousfilms]

A low budget movie from 1994 seems like a modest-budget movie from 1984. It's crazy how dated some of these early 90s knockoffs look next to their bigger-budget contemporaries. Still, I'm a sucker for a decent cyberpunk action-thriller and prefer practical effects and the grittier tone of older films - I wonder which of these are worth a watch? I've been meaning to see CLASS OF 1999!

[@fernandomaron87]

I think Class of 99 is definetly a badass film, i also love Time Guardian, the one mentioned here that's with Carrie Fisher

[@daniellafferety4025]

Nice practical effect, and good, to great actting can make or break any movie. Or TV series for that matter. The twilight zone, and some of the old 1930's movie theater serials, through 1980's TV & movie seriers like slient running. We're great actting, nice sets, nice propes. Huey, deey,louey.

[@Clebardman]

I'm really late to the party, but Hardware is a really good movie, and while it does include a killer robot (that originally wasn't in the script, but was the condition to get a budget...), the story has nothing to do with Terminator. Really great, trippy, inventive post-apo/cyberpunk movie.

What's weird is that she was supposed to be the lead. It must have been her decision to become a side character, because the producers would definitely have wanted her to be more prominent. My guess is she realised what a shit show the movie was after she signed a contract she couldn't get out of.

Given your references to anime before in your Star Wars video, I'm really astounded you don't mention Bubblegum Crisis which not only takes heavily from Terminator (many aspects of the Boomers), but mashes it up with Streets of Fire (awesome 80s music!) and Blade Runner (Boomers also socially are often like Replicants) to create one of the most amazing Cyberpunk stories of all time! Also, Masamune Shiro's Black Magic M-66 manga and its semi-adaptation of the same name anime also borrows very heavily in story and style from Terminator as well as Blade Runner.

​@@ManOutofTime913Same! I loved M-66. In fact, I loved it so much I married one of the robots from it! Okay, maybe I should explain. My wife has extraordinarily long hair. When we first started dating, it was about the length of the hair on one of the killer robots (it's considerably longer now), and had a very similar build as the robot. She's also badass (not to the extent of the killer robots in M-66, but grant me a little creative license). When we first saw the anime, I pointed out the similarities and it became a minor running joke. I even bought her a rather nice action figure of the bot for fun. Amazingly, she's neither divorced nor killed me, even after all these years. Sorry for the tangent. You can get on with your life now.

[@TheBadMovieBible]

Your taste is beyond reproach! (This one was in and out but I ultimately thought it was a little more RoboCop.)

[@jawarakf]

@@TheBadMovieBible robocop 2 copied from I Love Maria where the pioneer 1 was being surrounded and attacked by police. Also robocop 2 being rammed by armored scout vehicle was copied from Japanese anime. Both were adopted in robocop 2 where caine Robocop 2 was being surrounded and attacked by police plus being rammed by armored scout vehicle driven by Lewis.

Thanks for finding all these movies. I didn't even know half of them!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Are we sure Michael Bay didn’t direct APEX? Damn that’s a lot of explosions.

[@The_Tomcatter]

That music during the montage rocked. Would you happen to know what the title of the track is?

[@Scallycowell]

“…In a scene that proves that editing can happen by accident.” Lmaooo my dude

[@zaltmanbleroze]

Great video. A lot of these movies are right here on YT, looks like I have a lot of viewing to do.

[@joeblankenship377]

Wow, this really triggered some video store nostalgia for me. We were always renting some crazy sci-fi action thing based on the box art. Robot Jox and Carnasaur are two that stand out in my mind.

You helped me track down Cy Warrior. For the love of me, I couldn't remember the name of the movie, just bits from memory. Saw that movie when I was 7 or 8 years old. You're the man!

[@Yaksniffer2]

I’m so glad this series of videos is continuing! They’ve all been great!

[@TheBadMovieBible]

Thanks very much! They'll keep going until my computer's repossessed or my eyeballs revolt.

[@TT-md7mm]

@@TheBadMovieBible This series of videos IMO, is one of the best on YT.

[@AmyWebster-u6l]

I am so glad I found you, Rob.

From the adult side of things, I'd recommend Penetrator II. The dialogues and (slightly modified) story are, thanks to all actors' and actresses' performances, ehm, nailing it.

[@tadpolegaming4510]

That doesn't sound like a title that's safe for KZbin

[@buffalodebill1976]

@@tadpolegaming4510 Unfortunately, no 🙂 I have it on DVD and whenever I watch it I can't help but adore the terrible performances and awkward dialogues. Coincidentally, the adult scenes are the weakest part and I usually skip them.

[@jameshughdalton]

22:32 Amazing editing and music. I've replayed it about 20 time already.

[@mmills5965]

Some of those clips and your comments made me laugh so much.... it was the era when almost ever other movie in the video store was about a post apocalyptic event where everyone wore a saucepan on their head and a string vest for reasons best known to themselves 🤣🤣

"I'm going to need some clothes." "You're welcome to mine." ...yeah, I'm with you there.

[@richardbale3278]

One of the things that I noticed about Alienator is that it is really two different movies. There is the space prison movie with Jan Michael Vincent and a middle aged, but still divine P. J. Soles, and then there is the victims being hunted down by an Unstoppable Whatever movie, with very little connective tissue between them.

[@prince-solomon]

Great compilation and quick analysis of films, and that editing during the montage was pure genius.

[@MRC_5000]

i started watching this to chill out, but it was highly informative and actually wish it'd be even longer :-)

[@spencerhaabs]

“Steele American cyborg warrior” is like “children of men” meets “ the terminator “ Sounds good

[@davidfrancis6491]

This is the second channel i have come across this week that deserves far more subs for the hard work put into the videos

[@joshmay2944]

What was the other channel?

[@attiladukai2121]

You have helped me to find a movie title. Crash and Burn. I only remembered that scene what you have cutted into this video at 22:47. Thanks a lot!

[@vasilypugh696]

I savour these videos like fine art.

[@TheBadMovieBible]

Thank you, sir!

[@angbald]

Your editing is S Tier. Some of the best I've seen on youtube. Loving this channel
