This movie came out on DVD around the same time as Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. I was trying to find Jin-Roh but every store I asked for it would say "did you mean Brotherhood of the wolf?". About 10 years later I actually wanted to buy brotherhood of the wolf but it had kind of faded into obscurity, and everytime I ask someone at a store if they had a copy they would say, "did you mean Jin-Roh: the wolf brigade?"

The animal beneath the armor is a lion, probably the cub of the lion that "bit off" Francois' arm. And I think his weapon inspired the weapon from the DLC, not the cane whip.

i'm french, my father is really fascinated by "la bête du gévaudan" he explain to me few facts of the story when i was younger. Many authors write books and comics ( some with scientific/investigation process for debunk the mistery, some just for entertainments ). We still don't know what was this beast, the most commons theories : it was well trained dog with an armor, a hyenna or lion who escaped from a medieval fair or just a huge wolf It seems the movie decide to mix things. the fake beast who receive the king in Paris is a true fact, if i have a good memory. gg from France, nice channel !

[@MiraCassandre]

Salut salut, yes, this story is one of our cool folkore stories. The Paris' display was true indeed.

[@jaritsu]

My understanding is the movie tells the story (myth?) basically straight up until the return in the 4th act where the remainder is just fictionalized.

[@legendnodensetsu8423]

Heard the bête du gévaudan is actually multiple wolves and they thought it was one animal being immortal and would always come back. It seems a bit farfetched, but the possibility of an entire legend being an exaggerated hunting story is also pretty funny.

[@NerzJansch2]

This reminds me of so many tales and folklore stories surrounding large black wolves/dogs spreading chaos during the wintermonths. Turned out to be wolfpacks or feral dog packs on every investigation so far. Few instance of escaped circus bears too, but those usually got resolved rather quickly. I mean, it´s like the austrian lindwurm, which has been proven to have been thought up after peasants found mammoth bones while working the fields. The bones have been on display for centuries, a few decades ago not dna but something similiar tests resulted in it being confirmed a woolmamoth. Still for centuries the people of that area belived a dragonlike worm creature was hunting them and they claimed to have killed multiple of them too.

[@NefariousKoel]

I lean more towards the escaped lion or, perhaps, hyena explanation. The beast of Gevaudan was always spotted hunting & attacking alone. Wolves are pack hunters. As are hyenas, but I suppose if a hyena got loose in Europe, it wouldn't be able to find a pack to hang with. The beast also attacked mostly women and children via ambush. Which also fits the M.O. of a lion. There are other things, such as eyewitness mention of it's long tail and being much larger than wolves. Foreign beasts, such as lions, were also occasionally a vanity pet of the European rich at the time. Which hasn't been unheard of even in modern times, nor one of them getting loose and returning feral.

[@sirfrancois8888]

I found this movie in a blockbuster when I was like 11/12 and was absolutely obsessed. I would draw the characters all the time and when Bloodborne eventually came out it was the first thing it reminded me of.

I first saw this movie sitting on the shelf at a rental place. I thought, "Damn, this looks so cool. I need to check it out at some point." And then I never did. Then, I saw it pop up on Shudder a few months ago. I dropped everything and watched it immediately. After twenty years, it was still worth the wait. A very unique movie that everyone should see at least once.

[@f.m.6012]

Fun fact. There’s a rea life legend behind the film. It's called "La bête du gévaudan". (The beast of gévaudan). It's basically a kind of a werewolf that terrorizes a small village over months. And until this day you can find a massive statue of a dog-like animal in the existing gévaudan.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

I’m glad that you pointed out the silly dubbing. I’ve had a copy of this movie (on DVD, and now Blu-Ray) since it came out, and I always watch it in the original French with English subtitles- that way you see exactly what they are saying and it makes a lot more sense. It’s an awesome movie- I’ve probably seen it two dozen times in the last 20 years. Thanks for covering it!

[@mermaid_at_heart213]

I love when Marianne's goofy poet suitor recites his poem at the dinner table and then howls. It is so funny in the dubbed version. How embarrassing for him. I love both the dubbed version and the original French version. When turning someone new onto the film I always suggest watching it in its original French version instead of or before the overdubbed one. This is one of my all-time favorite films of any genre. My obsession with the Beast of Gevaudan and my love for actor Mark Dacascos definitely helped make this a really special film for me.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

@@mermaid_at_heart213 Right on! I was also very taken with the Gevaudan story from a very young age, due to it’s inclusion in a book about werewolf legends and their origins that I borrowed from the library. I was bullied a lot as a kid, and I have a vivid memory of some kids my age chasing me through the woods one night after a school function. The book I had been reading about werewolves had a segment of a “spell” that, if said in conjunction with applying an ointment of some pretty strange ingredients, would turn the one speaking it into a werewolf. I was crying and trying to remember all of it so that I could fight back against them, but 1. I couldn’t remember it all, 2. I didn’t have the ointment, and 3. It was a magic spell to turn a person into a werewolf. Of course it wasn’t going to work 😆. But I wanted it to very badly- Anyway, I was always a voracious reader, and the Beast Of Gevaudan was much more appealing to me than the “werewolf legends” about Peter Stubbe and others, because it was a real story, apart from the wild exaggerations and embellishments. Mark Dacascos was great in it, and I think he brought a lot of coolness to his character, as much as Vincent Cassel brought menace to his. I remember at the time, my ex made a comment about the tattoos that Mani had on his torso, and doubted that Native Americans had anything like that. However, I pulled out my copy of ReSearch’s book “Modern Primitives” (which was super popular with anyone interested in piercing and tattoo back in the ‘90s), turned to the section that detailed Native American tattoos and skin designs, and there was a drawing of the exact design and placement of Mani’s. I was a little surprised that it was so exact, because I didn’t remember it being so, but the filmmaker must have used it directly from the book, as it’s 100% the same. Brotherhood Of The Wolf is definitely a favorite movie of mine, and though I’ve only convinced one other person to watch it so far, my stepsons are big Bloodborne fans, and I think that’s what is going to help me get them to watch it. Fingers crossed! Sorry for such a long message, but thanks for your comment 👍🏻 “Oo-loo! Oo-loo! Oo-loo!”

[@yordemiir5562]

Haha yes, the english version of the movie is so silly. A very good alternative is the german version, but if you wan't to get the full experience you have to watch it in french with english subtitles ^^

[@purpleblah2]

I think the speculation is that the Beast was possibly an escaped zoo/menagerie animal (like a hyena or in the movie's case, a fucked up lion), a hybrid wolf-dog, a big intellgient wolf, or a series of unconnected wolf attacks by different groups of animals that the peasantry all attributed to one creature. King Louis XV (the one who got his head chopped off) sent a bunch of soldiers to the scour the countryside and find the beast because the story was so sensational, and that seemed to stop it.

[@madaz952]

It wasn't Louis XV that got his head chopped off but his grandson Louis XVI :)

[@NerzJansch2]

It was multiple big wolf packs. Something similiar happened in Finnland during WW2. Stories started telling tales of a maneating giant wolve, turned out it was a giant pack of wolves that had become aggressive and kept hunting scout groups and patrols. It was so large and rabid that it had to be exterminated by combined efforts of soviet and finnish troops (who actually agreed on a ceasefire for the time to hunt the pack down)

[@Chiptune7]

As a french individual and translator, I will do my best to attempt to detail the pronunciation of each french word and name mentioned in this video! Gévaudan -> Jeh-Vo-Dan (For the Dan, think more as in the way it's pronounced in Dante) Grégoire De Fronsac -> Greg-woah-r Duh Fron-Sac Paris -> Pah-ree (the s is silent) Auvergne -> Oh-Vehr-nyuh (very very soft nyuh sound) Dordogne -> Dor-Doh-nyuh (same soft nyuh sound, gne is a tricky, barely pronounced sound) Jean-François -> Jan Fran-soah (Elvis pronounced it well, both "an" sounds are also the same as in the name Dante) Marquis -> Mar-key (Pronounced correctly there too, the s is silent, this is not really a name as much as a nobility title. It's odd that they call him by title without a name behind it) Cuirasse -> Cuee-Rahss It's worth nothing that the Beast of Gévaudan is a very well known tale in France even today, taught in our schools!

Saw this in the theater when it released... had to go to a really big city, cause it was French and not widely released... SO happy I saw it, and have enjoyed it ever since. It is fairly (somewhat) historically accurate and is certainly a fun period piece/suspense/horror film. Well made, well acted and at the time, good CGI usage. Overall it certainly sits among my top 10 foreign films of all time.

I mean Mark Dacascos...awesome. Obviously...they hired him to kill John Wick so you know he's a beast.

[@-NateTheGreat]

This movie is a Masterpiece. It combines real world people and events and twists it to this dark story with fantasy elements.

[@mermaid_at_heart213]

Thank you for reviewing this film and turning new people onto it. Brotherhood of the Wolf (Le Pacte des Loups) is a masterpiece. It is one of my favorite films of all-time, of any genre. The acting in it is superb and the action scenes are fantastic and creative. The slow-motion spots and filming techniques are artistic and add to the film's uniqueness, in my opinion. Mani is my favorite character in this film. I adore Mark Dacascos in all of the roles I've seen him in. He is so talented and goes above and beyond in his craft. The other actors are also top-notch and their chemistry in Brotherhood is apparent, with a very natural feel. The Beast is awesome, and at the end you really feel for it; poor thing. The wolf slaughter is heartbreaking, especially knowing that it actually happened in real life. I cannot say enough good things about Le Pacte des Loups. Watch it in its original French version. If you really enjoy it and go back for a second watch in French (I can't imagine not enjoying it) watch it again in the English dubbed version afterwards. It's a bit silly in parts and quite enjoyable in its own right. I would suggest doing some research on the real-life Beast of Gevaudan, as well, if that's your sort of thing. The actual events are quite interesting, to say the least. I've never played Bloodborne, as I stopped playing video games years ago, due to issues with my hands. It sounds like I really missed out. I'm tempted to try because it seems like it's right up my alley. Brotherhood is a perfect film to adapt into a video game, for sure!

[@quesoblanco444]

Vincent Cassel has played some extremely creepy roles, even if you do not count this movie!

[@manila-89-93]

As a kid in France, the beast of Gévaudan terrorised me. It's creepy because the story is very real, there was an 'unusual' beast that killed up to a few hundred people. The attacks were quite documented. Unfortunately one of the so called 'catch' was destroyed during the French revolution. The region no longer exists per its name btw. Recent theories assume it was a big cat on the loose. Nevertheless, when I heard about the story aged 6 from people keen on sharing folklore stories, it definitively scared me. The movie is really lousy as per current standards but back in the days it was cool to see a French movie with a little bit of action (we have never been able to produce such shit in two decades, it's mostly boring comedies and bourgeois dramas about rich people questioning the sense of life, all heavily subsidised by our taxes).

I saw this movie in theaters as a teenager when it was first released and went to Blockbuster every weekend for months in hopes it would be released because I was so obsessed. I never realized Bloodborne was inspired by it!!!

[@Desi.interlude]

Hey I love your channel keep up the great reviews

[@justrandomstuff6828]

What a terrible time to become unemploeyed, that Blooboorne book looks beautiful

[@ohno_da_idiot3230]

great video man!

[@aneffortlesssmile]

Oh my freakin' goodness!! I forgot about this film! Thank you so much for reminding me of this gem of a movie. Time to re-watch.

[@youshallnotpass3937]

This movie is great! Just wish they kept the outfits for the whole movie. You should review Van Helsing too, pretty sure it's a big inspiration as well

[@CrabRagoon117]

I swear I saw a notification for this lastnight when I woke up from my nap 🙃

[@DPAnime1415]

Yeah, I think it got copyrighted 🤔

[@mgundry5260]

1:51 love the odur music from thymesia

[@Vintagepanda0216]

I’ve had this film on dvd for a looooongtime. I didn’t ever think I’d see someone review it on YT!

[@julianpradarodriguez7336]

Honestly the movie is crazy as all hell but is also amazing and really good.

[@jaredhumpherys8335]

Absolutely love this movie, it has an excellent English dub as well due in no small part to the on screen actors actually dubbing over their own characters!

[@censheard7019]

Your pronunciation hurt my soul 😭 I appreciate that you genuinely tried though amazing video and I’m donating to the Kickstarter on payday! Gonna tell all my friends about it too!

[@phaIIicaIIyimpaired]

Me and my sister were *obsessed* with this movie. I adore it. Mani is the shit. I also had the most ridiculous crush on Vincent Cassel because of it lol. Gans is excellent at making eminently visually pleasing movies. Gonna go re-watch this damn movie now.

[@elonmusk-mx1tc]

DO A VIDEO ON M3AGN

[@norakderrote2136]

Gevaudan is pronounced jevoodoo. Are Americans not able to speak french words accurate? Im from Germany and it is funny to see Elvis struggle.

[@emmettgraves4925]

-Bro that kickstarter project looks amazing - I know this doesn’t really matter as an individual message coming from a singular person, but I am totally saving up to help you!!! I’m A little broke rn but I am so excited at the thought of helping, and I’m also passing the word on to my sister, who loves a variety of games, including bloodborne. I can say I’ve personally played it (I’m unbelievably terrible at videogames ;-;) but I am a huge fan of you, have watched a lot of videos (including yours) on bloodborne lore, and love drawing and artwork, so I’m just super excited to help. Im so excited to see your final product as well, it sounds like it’s gonna be amazing.

[@the_neo_crusader]

I'm glad you reposted this

[@savvy667]

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this movie! The similarities are so intense 😆 Love that sword whip tho

[@jallerlepine3596]

So happy you talk about this movie. It is not perfect but goddamn I love the passion behind this movie

[@jeebuschristos8423]

5:26 That "one man at the table" is Vincent Cassel!

[@profoundclarity8497]

the cinematography...the fight scenes ....chefs kiss

[@DarkRubberDucky]

The funny thing is I wanted to play Bloodborne because it reminded me of the style of Brothethood of the Wolf. It's a wicked movie.

[@bastiwen]

A little advice: If you're not sure how to pronounce a name in another language, just google how to pronounce it or use google translate. It will most likely not be perfect but probably better than not looking it up.

[@terrortree]

My buddy showed me this movie in 2009 or 2010 and I LOVED it! I've always recommended it, Perfume (the serial killer one) and ip man for foreign films!

[@jennifermunro4374]

Ok I failed french in school (hi from Canada) but omg i love hearing your pronounciations of French names and places!! Great vid btw, love it.

[@cardboardoracle3462]

Was watching this last night before it got taken down. I accidentally clicked off of it halfway through and the video was gone! Happy that I can watch it all now.

[@dagrentheorcslayer]

I am from Gevaudan, I always loved that story and always looked behind my back while crossing a forest

[@EnmuRay]

Just backed The Old Blood! Really hope the Kickstarter works out!

[@krispin2806]

I'm hoping and praying that I get the chance to back it, the kickstarter looks sick!! (quaking until payday) Thank you for showing bloodborne the love it deserves!!!!

[@Lv5SuperTuba]

I had no idea this movie existed! thank you for sharing this! I'm going to watch it first chance I get!!!!

[@blackknightoflordran5771]

Damn , that poster at 0:24 looks lit , like Brotherhood of the Wolf Title being a game itself with a different story, Imagine that.

[@holiday3749]

Lol, thats the old Iron Chef guy! Took me a while to remember who he was.

[@jashloseher578]

No one believed me when I pointed this out years ago. Excellent video!

[@Vergilswordboi]

I swear that spike trap gave me a horrible sense of deja vu

[@joueusedelacave7798]

Fun fact; Vincent Cassel is the voice of Diego from Ice Age.

[@xxMpEGxx]

Dude, this is about the "Beast of Gévaudan" 😮 I never realized. And I'm happy that there is someone else who knows "The brotherhood of the wolf", saw this one as a kid and thought they looked cool

[@mathijshamer398]

no was he used Odur's theme song - epic video Elvis thanks
