It’s interesting that this version of The Invisible Man is probably the closest to the book. The original character was a sexual deviant and a psychopath.

[@osurpless]

Yep, I also see it as a mediation on the Ring of Gyges, as many don’t accept that their morality would ebb away as readily/easily as characters like Sebastian or as played by Claude Rains. Heroes the 2007 show doesn’t do a lot well, but having an Invisible Man in Season 1 (also named Claude Rains) be a grounding force (both for his newfound powers and to tie him to reality) for Peter Petrelli was a nice change of pace for such a character and the tropes they usually embody?

[@DanGamingFan2406]

It might be predictable, but I have to say Kevin Bacon does do a good job playing the part of a complete douche. And the stuff they do with invisibility like thermal censors, appearing to be made of water afer a swim, etc. is pretty creative.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another Fun Fact: Despite assumptions that Kevin Bacon would not be needed on set, except when his character Sebastian is visible, Paul Verhoeven and the crew realized after test footage was shot, that he would need to be present, to interact with the cast, as "the other actors were stranded in empty space, and the scenes looked stiff, inorganic, and unconvincing" without him.

[@LucyLioness100]

And they stuck him in different color suits depending what the other effects & environments would need. Most times he was in a green mo-cap suit when with the cast except for times where he would wear blue, black or grey depending what they needed. Plus having him on speakers when he torments the team in the climax really helped

[@johnnysparkle]

To get the right reaction from the cast, Paul Verhoeven had speakers put in different places on the set, and had Kevin Bacon's voice come from different speakers so the cast would genuinely react to the invisible character moving around. For the scene with the invisible gorilla, Paul screamed to the microphone, imitating gorilla noises.

That is very interesting, it adds a nice touch of Bacon being on the set with the other actors, and makes their panic seem more genuine.

Kevin Bacon said it was his most difficult role ever given the uncomfortable getups he wore that would allow the effects artists to erase him in post-production, including suits, colored lenses and make-up◊ that would at times cover his hair and teeth. And that's not counting the suffocating and smelly latex mask used to make his character 'visible' for others.

I feel like this movie would have been better if Kevin Bacon's character was kind of like a shy loser type but a nice person.

[@johnnysparkle]

Paul Verhoeven has admitted that he doesn't really like the film, reportedly due to the idea behind it not being at all idiosyncratic. This contributed to the movie being his latest American production...in years. In 2013, Verhoeven said this to The Hollywood Reporter: "I decided after Hollow Man, this is a movie, the first movie that I made that I thought I should not have made. It made money and this and that, but it really is not me anymore. I think many other people could have done that. I don't think many people could have made RoboCop that way, or either Starship Troopers. But Hollow Man, I thought there might have been 20 directors in Hollywood who could have done that. I felt depressed with myself after 2002."

One of my favorite Sci Fi Action Horror movies ever made! Before Kevin Bacon was picked to play Sebastian, Guy Pearce, Edward Norton, Johnny Depp, and Robert Downey Jr were considered, but the producers wanted someone to be both charming and dangerous as well as being charismatic before he turns psychotic. The entire film was shot in chronological order, with the lab being blown up at the end of the film was the last day of shooting. The film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects but lost to Gladiator.

[@arilumani6194]

Ironic how Johnny Depp was considered for the role, and yet this wouldn't be the last time as he was supposed to star in the now scrapped reboot of The Invisible Man which was set to be part of Universal's ill fated Dark Universe, but we all know how that went. And Robert Downey Jr. in a horror movie where he is the villain. Now THAT would be wild.

Dear nostalgia critic, I love your videos and have been watching them since I was nine. You’re super funny and informative about the movie. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos and you.

[@nuberiffic]

One thing that always bugged me about this movie is that we see the gorilla become visible again from the inside out, and this makes sense (at least in terms of movie logic) because the drug they inject it with would interact with the the veins first, and spread through out the circulatory system and get into the bones and muscles, and then finally the skin and fur. But then when Sebastian gets injected to become invisible, his skin reacts first, then muscles, bones etc. I know it's done that way to show off the special effects, but it should be the other way around.

[@cosmichome626]

Maybe it depends on what part of your body is easier to erase. Skin has no bright colors, so it is easier to hide. While the other way, it is just easier to cure this effect on blood, which momentarily reacts to it.

[@cosmichome626]

But, yeah, why the bones did not disappear first then? Hard to say.

Some of his cast mates said that the hardest part of the role was not laughing at someone painted in black, green, blue, or grey, pretending to be mean. Bacon admitted that he accepted the role partly under the false assumption that he wouldn't need to be on set for scenes of Sebastian invisible, and that it would be an easy performance.

They’re fantastic

[@psychonaut1502]

17:55 is that a Carrie poster to Doug's right? Is next week's video going to be a review of Carrie?

[@travisdelafuente1150]

When I saw on Twitter you were gonna do a Kevin Bacon movie for Nostalgia-Ween and I was hoping it to be Tremors but I was wrong but anyway only one week left till Halloween!

[@freddymarquez7455]

That sexual assault scene with Sebastian assaulting the woman was actually longer in the original cut of the movie and made Sebastian even more unsympathetic in which Verhoeven felt extremely uncomfortable filming. You can see the extended scene in the Extended Cut of the film

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Maybe I accidentally saw the extended cut because it already felt way too fucking long in the film, i mean jesus

[@fanofbioshock2nolastname861]

shame on the producers or whoever even recommending that scene

[@Assimandeli]

I definitely remember the scene being longer than shown here. Saw the film once and that's probably the only scene I really remember.

[@kuribayashi84]

One thing about this movie I genuinely like is the Score by Jerry Goldsmith, his final work in the Horror-Genre.

Can't wait for next week, you know what time it is.

Just leaves the Stephen King Review. My money is on Salem's Lot because it's relevant sort of again, but I'd personally hope for Silver Bullet since hey, it's Gary Busey vs a Werewolf.

[@ThrowbackDrummer]

1. I actually like this movie. 2. 12:18 there’s a deleted scene that shows more of the assault. It’s very disturbing. Be glad they cut it.

[@elysiabarr425]

Yes! This film is one of my guilty pleasures! Please do deep blue sea!

[@zarinaa1135]

If I had a nickel for every time Kevin Bacon played a villain named Sebastian I'd have two nickels right now. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[@Jebu911]

I could swear he made a review out of this back in 2012. I must have been in parallel dimension back then

[@OscarsBadFurDay]

Finally good old reviews like back in the golden age of nostalgia critic. Thanks Critic 👍

[@pixelpastiche]

16:23 I legitimately thought of “Frying the Coke”. You gotta admit the fact that it is referencable anywhere else kinda something.

[@sebastianemond5313]

Except here, it would be "Frying the Bacon." CSI Miami: *😎YYYEEEEEEEAAAHH!!*

[@n0vi]

Weird point to make that they "should have gone further" on the mol*station and r*pe scenes. And no this is not a meme comment, this is an actual response to what's in this video.

[@NewSuperAvenger]

I'm hoping for Doug to review X-Men: First Class. Kevin Bacon is playing a villain named Sebastian again, I'm only hoping for a joke between this and Hollow Man.

[@TheDahaka1]

4:50 How, and I mean HOW are you supposed to figure out how to make visible an invisible creature if you DON'T HAVE an invisible creature to test on???

[@FYAjibber000]

The uncut version of Hollowman doesn't immediately cut away from the...erm....scene

[@fanofbioshock2nolastname861]

makes it even worse

[@cameronstarkel5629]

8:20 I'm quiet insulted by Doug's ignorance. That is clearly Voltage.

[@majinsole8554]

Did not know about the CGI models being donated to schools ‘cause of their detail, that’s pretty cool. ~_~

[@PetProjects2011]

The most amazing thing about this movie is Elisabeth Shue got billed over Kevin Bacon. That must have been an interesting negotiation process.

[@CosmicGoku529]

Well at the time she was the more well known of the 2.

[@PetProjects2011]

@CosmicGoku529 Dang. Bacon's career must have been in a slump at the time.

[@ponygon777]

Outside of the 2020 Invisible Man movie and Memoirs of an Invisible Man, You have to check out the original Claude Rains Invisible Man movie for it's groundbreaking effects and how it adapts, albeit with some liberties, one of the most influential science fiction novels ever written. Or better yet, it's sequel which not only ups the effects but it features a man, played masterfully by Vincent Price, trying to retain his sanity while invisible and on the run.

[@gingko19]

I remember seeing it at the time. At the time the special effects had left me on my arse. It was impressive. I admit it's got old. But it's true that it was only the special effects that I remembered. Neither the other actors, nor a punch line, not a single performance stuck in my memory. A bit sad for the film in the end. With Kevin Bacon, I'd recommend more Stir of Echoes. That was great.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Not a bad film, but not a good one either. It had a lot of good things for it like the performances, score, and special effects, but the story and characters were the problem

[@chasehedges6775]

Soooo true. Seems like the definition of a mixed bag.

[@chasehedges6775]

NC has turned into untitled review show energy with a custom thumbnail + the outfit, sigh I understand why, the algorithm spits you out, thus budget goes down, thus all the cool skits and weird fun energy goes away but still feels heartbreaking when the creator you grew up with falls out of the limelight at the whim of an analytics model 😞

[@yoshifrazzled7628]

This style of videos is what made him big us original fans didn’t like how his reviews became 15 mins of annoying skits

[@Spiritwalking]

@@yoshifrazzled7628 I'd disagree some somewhat, Stephen King Drinking Game, The Room, Nicholas Cage Month, Matrix, old school nostalgiaween outperform current videos not just in views but likes to dislikes. There are plenty of channels out there that do this current style. Old style NC, AVGN and so on had their own style. I'm not saying it in a negative way, I guess I'm just struggling to find the right way to communicate my thoughts. I don't remotely dislike NC, I still love the videos, I just miss some elements.

[@WilliamAfton-bj3ur]

I was hoping it’d be Tremors or Friday The 13th Part One

[@bobcobb3654]

The studio didn’t “take away” this movie from Verhoeven. He was coming off 2 financial disappointments, including the most mocked and ridiculed bomb of the 90s (that also killed any prospect of studios seriously backing NC-17 films). He was never going to get creative control on this one.

[@davidnottennant1161]

Jay Leno > David Letterman

[@mcwoods85]

I’m nostalgic for this movie it’s stupid but entertaining and Jerry Goldsmith did an amazing score for it.

Also time travel dialogue may be a reference to Shue's role in Back to The Future II and III?

[@DamienAlexander-Ducroix]

A more interesting script would be The Invisible Man is actually fighting with his inner demons manifesting as "scientists" who reflect his insecurities. Turning invisible causes his own latent fear of being completely forgotten to come to the surface, resulting in a Freudian psychotic break. Basically akin to "The Cell" where he doesn't even know what the hell is reality is anymore. And because no one can see the guy, he's forced to fight for his own sanity. Basically the damn fool did the experiment on his own, so no one knows the invisible man is real....but him. No one dares believe in such a thing, for fear they're just going insane. A horrific existential nightmare for The Invisible Man, as the demonic "scientists" torment him and reality collapses slowly but surely.

[@mychaeljones7526]

12:01 Im glad you brought that up. The actors dont say it much but they really didnt like the scenes in question. They dont have regrets, but they went on to star in other projects that did their acting better service. Rooney Mara did that TV show about the Navy, and Kim Dickens The Walking Dead.
