Cherry 2000 - Good Bad Flicks

[@festol1]

I liked that film a bunch. As a kid, that Mustang being hoisted into a dam, was awesome! And the red haired chick, a blonde robot, guns... cool!

[@iunary]

"it looks like lady gaga after a stroke" XD oh god that is just too fucking funny >_< i just burst out laughing in the middle of the night waking people up because of that

[@GoodBadFlicks]

iunary heheh forgot about that one thanks :)

[@lunarvision]

One of my childhood favorites from HBO. It still has some pretty cool moments that hold up.

[@231mac]

Sadly, Pamela Gidley (Cherry) passed away in 2018.

[@dsandoval9396]

That's too bad. I don't see what's so hot about MG in this movie. I mean she ain't ugly but she's not "HOT". To me she just looks like some farm girl, and I don't mean a pretty tomboy kind of girl, I mean she looks like the kind of girl that's spent plenty a year doing farm labor. The girl that played Cherry though, now she was smokin! Her facial features were way more attractive (to me anyway) that MG could ever hope for. Personally I have never seen MG as attractive IRL or in the movies. Again, she's not ugly, but she never pitched a tent for me. When I saw this movie I felt bad for Cherry at the end. It seems like they played the annoying aspect of her (being a synth) at the end more so just to make it easier to dump her ass and the audience not have to feel bad about it. I would have kicked Melanie's ass out of the plane and flew off into the sunset with Cherry if it were me.

[@231mac]

@@dsandoval9396 Same. I never considered her that much of a looker.

[@grimsnark4849]

In addition to adding the number 2000 to make your film "futuristic", make the cities divided in to numbered "sectors" and have a place called "The Zone" where the mutants live.

[@JMDAmigaMusic]

The zone - aka ALL Los Angeles beside the rich areas :(

[@GoodBadFlicks]

They hinted that Lester's girlfriend might have been a cyborg but they never outright said if she was or wasn't. I think she was.

God I miss and love the 80s.

[@averagechadlegionary5824]

Cobra Kai-Zer Soze I unfortunately wasn’t born until the 90s but oh do I share your sentiment everything and everyone was so much relaxed and movie directors weren’t afraid to do something different and their movies showed as they have hearts and souls unlike the crap we call movies today plus they didn’t pander to people who don’t even watch their films

I must have been 15ish when I saw this back in the 80s. Loved it then and still do now. Such a crush I had on Melanie Griffith because of this movie!

[@CorbCorbin]

Said it back when I first saw this film, Ginger was definitely a robot.

[@93MANIAC]

This is actually the first episode of Good Bad Flicks that I ever saw and I still remember watching it on The Agony Booth back in 2011 and I IL be forever grateful that I did because not only did it introduce me to you work it's also te reason that I decided to watch Cherry 2000 and Miracle Mile

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Oh wow the AB that takes me back. Kinda sad they just shut down recently, its like the end of an era. Thanks for sticking around! :)

[@93MANIAC]

@@GoodBadFlicks I did not know that do you know why The Agony Booth was shut down ?

[@saulbennett4677]

Melanie Griffith's character E Johnson plays a tough Cyberpunk character in the style of Molly Millions from Neuromancer.

[@knoxvilleguy2]

& BTW, if I remember the movie correctly after what, 26 years, Cherry was acting hinky even before her major melt - down / malfunction ( w / resembled a cybernetic grand mal seizure ). Lester's girlfriend / mate / whatever could've been a robot as well, judging from her whackadoo behavior. As long as she stayed away from large amounts of liquid.

I like this low budget movie; good plot , fumny at times, and Melanie Griffith was gorgeous back then. Good to know the director has another film I havent seen. Excellent review.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

Miracle Mile is a good movie but you won't feel yourself good after watching it. Watch it when you are in the good mood!

[@shawnmcloughlin42]

This movie is fantastic in every way.

[@tflo3482]

I loved this film I was shocked you actually did a video on it !

[@theunholinesswithin70]

The ending is cold, I understand Cherry is only a robot, but still.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

She can survive there and she is valuable for everybody to save her.

[@tommyalexxxander]

Had so crush on Melanie in this flick when I was a teenager. Still looks fine.. That red hair and that voice! Also cool film. Love post-apocalyptic films.

[@guillermoherrera9860]

this is more like a dystopian future than a post-apocalyptic future

[@BloodofPatriots]

It is post apocalyptic... that's how most of the world got turned into wasteland, besides Sam (the male lead who wants the Cherry 2000) is a veteran of that nuclear war.

[@BloodofPatriots]

@Daniel Appleton WTH? Post apocalyptic, as in post-nuclear war, rather than simply dystopian. Do try and keep up.

[@studinthemaking]

Maybe MG daughter will do a post apocalyptic film.

[@Justin-ee3im]

It's amazing how much sex dolls have progressed in the 9 years since this video came out

[@Zodroo_Tint]

This will be the next big business. First one who make human like sex robots will be a trillionaire.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@MarkHyde]

Great line - "Well you can just go shit in yer hat' lmao :)

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Miracle Mile is amazing. I think it's on KZbin. If not, find it. Cherry 2000 is one of those movies everyone catches at 3 in the morning on cable. Melanie is right. It improves with age. Good movie in retrospect but at the time it was pretty B.

[@diablodevil2]

Holy hell, that Rubber reference took me by surprise. Well done sir.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I love Evil Dead 2, I'm surprised I haven't listened to the commentary. The commentary for Night of the Creeps was quite good as well.

[@Laceykat66]

This is the BEST movie that nobody ever saw. 3:40 I love the scene with the lawyer at the bar working out the one-night-stand agreement. How #METOO is THAT !!?? And now we know WHY Japan is not having kids anymore. 4:25 - You might point out that this film came out on video at the same time Working Girl, Ms. Giffith's actual hit movie, came out. You are right about Miracle Mile (Yes, I am the only other person who has seen it) and the fact that the women in this film are awful, AND predictors of what you guys have to deal with now. Good job as usual and if you have not done Miracle Mile yet, I suggest it as a double bill with Dead End Drive-In (1986), another great film nobody saw of this era.

[@tflo3482]

The club scene oddly and pretty accurately predicts the near state of dating in the future

[@emitindustries8304]

This is one of my cult movie favs, because it's weird. Seen it 5 times, and it just gets better.

[@thegood9]

Ginger is a robot that no one, not even herself, knows she's a robot.

[@SamStuart07]

I liked this film. I saw on some late night B-movie night.

[@xtraflo]

I classify this type of movie as "Did the best they could with what they had to work with". I mean, the premise of the Movie, the Plot - itself doesn't have much appeal. And you can tell the budget was fairly low. But the director and writers did a fairly decent job at delivering a Top Notch B-Movie. And at a time when Griffith wasn't quite a Big name yet. Overall, not a great movie by any stretch, the acting is terrible, but somehow this is very enteraining. Not for everybody though...

[@Richard_B]

Thank You! I was talking to some friends about this the other day and it was just on the tip of my tongue.

Miracle Mile is required apocalyptic viewing. Cherry having the personality of a 6 year old is social commentary.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Hmm never thought of that. Yeah, it is kind of that PA style. A mix of Mad Max too. The Postman was good, like you said I think people were having a backlash from Waterworld and didn't want another 3 hour Costner movie. I liked both of them.

Yikes, I'm lucky (sort of? lol) to live pretty close to Philly but far enough away to not deal with the riffraff in Philly. Even still I find myself doing most of my shopping online anymore.
