John Carpenter's Vampires Explained

[@pikkon899]

I felt bad for Anthony. He was turned into a vampire but resisted and helped John until the very end. That's a true friend and it was bitter sweet to see them hug as friends for the last time.

[@tjk3430]

I always wondered if Montoya fed on any innocents after he turned. Jack had to know this was possible, even likely, which makes me wonder why he allowed it. I guess it comes down to loyalty? Maybe Jack was giving Montoya a chance to self immolate once he turned?

[@paulhumphries9430]

I was always under the impression that a sequel was going to be made. Where there’s a showdown between Jack Crow and Anthony. If a sequel was made let me know.

[@cainabel6356]

I am thinking Anthony could have survived the first vampire attack, strong enough will could subside the vampire turning. It seems like it is a sign of possession or maybe a disease. A strong enouh will can shrug off the possession and maybe the disease. The second bite was the one that did him in.

[@tjk3430]

Wasn't Hades his favorite of all roles though? If he said this one was one of his favorites of all roles too, then I'm a believer.

[@GiantBoarMonster]

Anything James Woods is in, is usually a pretty good or excellent movie, due to his presence. I still need to seem them all. I gotta recommend Best Seller (1987) w/ Brian Dennehy. Kind of a unique and interesting variation on the buddy-cop, two partner, genre. "A hitman approaches a writer to help him create his next best seller, but the violent world he was a part of has other plans." Dennehy and Woods is one helluva acting combination.

My only complaint is the Cardinal's logic. You would think the origin and existence of vampires would be enough proof that the afterlife does exist.

[@APackOfHungryGhosts]

It's his faith in God that's slipped away. At one point he says "In all my years of prayer and service, I've never seen any miracles, he's shown me no signs." Basically, the cardinal is nearing old age, and becoming fearful of death, his belief in God and the afterlife are shaken... but while he doesn't have proof of God, or the afterlife, he knows for a fact that evil is real and the only way to escape death is the immortality a vampire enjoys. It's that old adage "If you can't beat them, join them."

[@diegobarron1690]

And if his fate falters maybe he is afraid of going to hell instead

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

It doesn't prove an afterlife or that any element of the religion is true. It proves that some form of supernatural 'evil' is real. It proves that there is an unknown supernatural and some magic exists. It doesn't confirm anyones beliefs are correct. There is no evidence any exorcism ritual actually suceeded, no proof of divine, crosses don't work, and priests die like flies.

[@Aria-Invictus]

that would be an equivocation fallacy. because most people when they talk about the afterlife they really mean a place that your spirit goes to live on forever. whereas the idea of Resurrection is simply temporary. and so in this sense there's a distinction between the afterlife and a resurrection. the idea of a vampire would only mean that Resurrection is possible not that an afterlife exists.

[@kyrangaunt4644]

The biggest sin this movie commits is missing the entire point of the book. That there is no magic messianic fix. No first one, last one, destiny one. These guys are just holding back the tide. There is a great scene where Jack eulogizes the team that got wiped out. He laments how he has to go and recruit good, brave hero types, knowing they'll only live a few years before falling to these monsters, and then Jack will have to pick up and find more brave heroes to sign up to die brutally sooner than later. That is what makes the story so good, so poignant. And there is a nobility in knowing this, and carrying on anyway. This is probably the only 90's movie I hope gets remade.... correctly.

"The biggest sin this movie commits is missing the entire point of the book. That there is no magic messianic fix. No first one, last one, destiny one. These guys are just holding back the tide. " I couldn't agree more! Maybe I was just young at the time but I could swear that all through the novel, when they described the hunter team in general and Jack in particular, these were big guys. I always pictured Jack being portrayed by Clancy Brown as he looked in the 80's. Instead we got mini-Me with a plastic/fibreglass crossbow. I wanted to see the 400 year old, barely able to handle, arbelest that fired bolts the thickness of pool cues with double-sided barbs that crunched as it entered a vampire body.

[@RedTail1-1]

The novel was WAY better than the movie. John Carpenter said back in 1998 that his original vision for the movie was to be somewhat closer to the novel, including having the second half of the movie take place in a city, not just the desert. But according to Carpenter, the studio made the decision to slash his budget and filming schedule in half, after he had already started filming. So he was forced to quickly rewrite the script and find cheaper shooting locations to compensate. It's truly a shame, because the novel could easily be adapted to a movie as is, with no changes and be awesome.

[@vapormissile]

How about Armor? He's good.

[@shawnbass-ig2bv]

[@RichterPhallos]

Great video, as always. I don't think that Father Valek was ever possessed. I took it as though he was accused of being possessed and had the experimental exorcism used on him, but it went wrong because he WASNT possessed. So, instead of getting rid of the demons, it just killed his body and left his soul in an undead husk. Also, Valek (or Valac or Valik) is a demon listed in grimoire "The Lesser Key of Solomon" and was the VERY LOOSE basis for the lead demon in "The Nun"

[@lyndellrobinson3611]

If they ever make a movie based on Monster Hunter International, I hope its as cool as this movie.

[@sage1682]

NO WAYYYY!! Is this bc of my suggestion months ago? Either way I'm here for it lol this was a real stinker

[@DarkbutNotsinister]

EDIT: Not sure if the link is working to your other channel. I think Logan knows when I feel like I’ve watched all of KZbin, he drops a video about one of my favorite movies.

I always loved this movie with it's classic Carpenter affectations. James Woods really nailed the role and made the movie so much more entertaining.

Shyamalan twist: the master vampire turns out to be Terry Silver. lol

John Steakley is a bit unsung. He wrote another book, Armor, which was fantastic, but huge (1200-ish pages) about a war between humans in mech suits ( kind of) and a menacing race of space-dwelling critters they called ‘ants’. There’s time travel, court intrigue, denial of inherited monarchy, and probably Jack’s progenitor/descendant/alternate reality equivalent, named Felix. It’s like starship troopers X battlefield earth X edge of tomorrow. It’s a fantastic read if you can find it anywhere, can’t recommend it enough

I have that book and have read it! Great story 😊

[@FresnoBoy6star]

Thanks

Can you do a video of the movie Cursed 2005 about its story werewolves and everything? It might take you a little while to find it since it is so old but you will see it will be worth it. Great video dude👏👏👏

Wes Craven directed it and supposedly there's a pure directors cut on that movie. - James D Watkins artistic director of Phoenix Productions.

[@WeOnlyEatSoup]

Awesome movie

[@aflawedhuman2046]

It was so funny seeing a werewolf flip the bird in that movie lol

[@mj6258]

This is an absolute belter of a film and the soundtrack is incredible. Carpenter directed not just the film but also composed the music score. Super talented man.

[@marcusmiller5443]

Though the fictional vampire may be able to fly, one must understand, when traversing miles, a vampire would likely appreciate saving energy, which equals blood consumed...so, him riding the train makes good sense.

[@robbieduhon2522]

An interesting deep cut that would fit with your channel is a movie from 1983 based on a book by F. Paul Wilson called 'The Keep'. The special effects definitely look dated but the story is still good. There are several well known actors in it such as Scott Glenn, Gabriel Byrne and Ian McKellen, I'm not going to go into the plot in case you decide to watch it but in my humble opinion it is definitely worth considering. I've seen it five or six times and can still find new things, or things I forgot, every time.

I enjoyed this video. You gave me an idea for a book.

[@Thejoker-mx2hq]

James wood absolutely smashed that roll! Good movie

[@jojitelizalde6965]

Read the book as a kid then saw the movie then around 2016 was able to get a copy of the book on sale. Liked how the Vatican sponsored the team of hunters that were former athletes,fighters etc. Jack Crow himself was described as being big and muscular and ornery. I also liked how the master was basically " destroyed" in the book. James Woods take on Jack Crow was the best part of the movie for me.

[@Mar-uo2bj]

Agreed. James Woods brought the novel character's utter contempt for the Vatican to life in the film.

[@paige-vt8fn]

Loved, loved, loved this movie. I guess I'm a bigger fan of vampire movies than i thought. I realized this binge-watchimg your videos! Great job! 👍🏼❤

[@justinandrew5849]

I love this movie. Never read the book though. You should do a video on the book lol

[@aboundingvampirekiller2048]

The book is different. Jack Crow becomes a master vampire at the end and goes to assault the Vatican.

[@Jeffrey_Tyler]

"A vampire super group" 😂😂 I love that.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video

[@likelemmyidabasest3882]

In the book they have chainmail with halogen crosses on the chest that keep vamps at bay, so the movie lore differs a bit. I read it in '93-ish as a kid, loved it at the time. Anyone else read it? You out there, Nate?
