Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: DOG SOLDIERS

Do you think Dog Soldiers should get a sequel? Or should it remain a stand-alone cult classic?

[@norwegianants2336]

Stand-alone

As someone who lives in Newcastle it's really inspiring to see someone who grew up in the same city as me go on to make films like this.

After the battle, the three went back to check the position and found their mate's body. They stood in silence for a few seconds looking down at him, and then one remarked, "That'll teach him to fart in church."

I always took toffee nosed as brown noser

[@darkwoods1954]

Americans always seem to pronounce it ''twot'' for some reason.

[@philmellor4885]

@@darkwoods1954 Yeah...like that mockney from The Boys.

[@Cervando]

A twat is the dictionary term for a pregnant fish, but is used as an insult much like cunt is used elsewhere, as cunt is also used as a term of affection amongst mates.

[@jimmccauley2424]

Thanks Brandon! Never heard the movie and I sure did enjoy it. If it wasn't for finishing my Camaro I would be more than happy to contribute to your patreon account.

*sees Brandon do a review of Dog Soldiers. Proceeds to smash my way through everything in order to watch* Finally! A cult classic I actually rented!!

[@jessehilton1337]

YES! One of my favorite movies! So stoked for this vid!

[@darkwoods1954]

Up there with American Werewolf in London and Howling as the top three Werewolf movies.

[@ryanpowell2540]

The jokes and references are spot-on in this review. Great work.

[@MrDogsledder]

It's a land rover. Not a jeep

[@10GaugeManiac]

a land ROVER seems fitting for Dog Soldiers.

[@MrDogsledder]

@atd8vii I get it. Maybe the original script called for .303s.

Tommy didnt die from toxymosplosis - he decided heroin wasnt for him and joined the army. He chose life.

[@TheDataByteChannel]

Fun fact: Megan is briefly seen in her werewolf form with her eye still having being blown out.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

Where?

[@TheDataByteChannel]

@@TheEnigmaticBM39 There’s a scene in the film where they show all 3 of the costumes & they modified 1 where her shot out eye is visible for a couple seconds at the final Werewolf fight.

[@mercedesbenz6657]

She is also the Werewolf that Smacks the lighter out of the hands of the Sergeant.

[@ArnellaMaturin]

The drunken cast commentary on the DVD was awesome!

[@livefromthe717.]

I've never heard of this film prior to the review but I love it. I immediately got on Amazon to purchase the dvd. Thanks

[@Thurgosh_OG]

I got the DVD as soon as it came out. Really good, fun film.

[@EDD8209]

Agh finally gets onto the Neil Marshall. Loved all his films except Hellboy. Glad he’s films are finally making the channel. Keep up the good work Brandon love the channel.

[@bradentwidwell7955]

Side note: most people also know him as "Soap" MacTavish from the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series

[@TheJMPD]

Love this movie! Great dialogue, great acting and decent SFX. Thanks for previewing this cult classic! PS: I don't think a sequel would do this film justice.

[@eldeano9964]

Sean pertwee was in another low budget, and pretty decent, werewolf movie called Howl

[@scottneil1187]

Great little film, needs more fans.

[@scockery]

Sean: "I was also in Howl." Me: "Howl...ing?" Sean: "Just Howl." Me: "So you in the Howl." Sean: "Right." Me: "The Howl...ing?" Sean: "Shut yer trap, you talky nose twat."

Awesomeness glad to see this review come up.

[@Gerickmb]

This movie scared the hell put of me when I was a kid! Best looking Werewolves except for Bad Moon🌙 just my opinion tho❤

[@mattdoherty7549]

Totally agree bud 👍

[@scottneil1187]

It's great, they totally copied the design of the werewolves from The Howling tho.

[@themadpolymath3430]

I always liked the werewolf design in Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman. I know its not a horror movie but still.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

@@scottneil1187 not even

[@johnw8578]

I agree! One of the costumes sold at auction (I totally missed it) for like $1000 (I believe). I would have bought one if I knew.

[@fenrirsden469]

I remember seeing this when it premiered on the SciFi channel and all I could think was, "Finally, werewolves that look and feel awesome and terrifying."

[@TheBeird]

Yeah, great film from a time where it seemed for a moment that Britain could be a cool little factory for genre films. But hey ho, least we got what we got. And no, no sequel please.

[@O.W.T.H.]

I absolutely love this movie. Spoon is my favorite character. That man literally goes hand to hand survival mode on a Werewolf. It's one of my all-time favorites.

[@StageRight123]

Well, now we know what Alfred was doing in Special Forces before moving to Gotham and becoming a badass butler.

[@Clayton_Stewart]

I love how the movie kinda gives the idea that werewolves can be killed with regular bullets and blades, but they have a healing factor that makes it harder to do so. Which also allows the effect of silver to make sense, as you see it actually burn them like they are allergic to the metal. Kinda like how in Marvel the metal carbonatium is used on people with healing factors, because it nullifies that ability so it would be like a wound that would have to be healed normally or through medical interference.

[@scottcleaves1040]

I don't know why they haven't made a sequel to this movie? I got it on DVD when it first made it to the states. It's by far one of the better werewolf movies out there,

[@davidj.thompson]

I'm glad you did your spin on this movie...as usual, yours is unique, informative and hilarious! Fun fact: when Cooper punches the Sarge the second time, he actually connected and did knock him out! And the sequel? Based on "sequel quality" over the years, probably not a good idea...unless the same creative people are running the show.

[@FabledHeroes3351]

This Movie is totally not BONE (if no one gets that reference your not true fans)

[@MrDogsledder]

Bone, Bad. Not very good.

[@Phantom_binovirex8974]

O shut up lol

@Pedro Sepulveda That's a line from the movie

[@Tomcat93]

[@faeembrugh]

It's a bezzer film!

[@briankelly3335]

Never thought I needed this till we got it thanks Brandon love your videos

[@ottobaron6392]

The perfect name for the sequel would be "Dog Face Pony Soldiers".

[@mikesanders8621]

Dog Soldiers is the single best werewolf movie ever made. Late phases is a close second.
