10 Amazing Facts About NightOfTheComet

[@TheMM1215]

I had such a crush on Catherine Mary Stewart back in the 80's...and still do to this day.

[@GOOSEAF]

How could you not? Seriously she's almost impossible to find anything wrong with. I believe she went on to make like a ton of Hallmark and similar network movies.

[@MacGalvin]

Hey Minty! This film holds a special place in my memory. In the 80's, my sister worked for the production studio that made this film... so she got to be an extra! And during your review you can see her. At time mark 11:05 there is a shot of 3 people at the party. The blonde on the left is my sister, the brunette in the center is my cousin and the man on the right was her husband. She was also used for a few more shots but you don't see her face. These videos are always entertaining!

Meeting Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelly Maroney in person was great and watching them as they reenact some of their popular lines just shows how much fun it was to make this film

[@chasing_dragons]

Thank you so much for this mini documentary. That movie is great. I really miss the old Sherman Oaks Galleria and the 1980's really bad. The last time I went in the old one as shown in your video was 1992. You could go in there to escape the heat, cold, or rain. The old one was completely torn down and the new one is what we have now. The new one is an outdoor mall with offices.

[@cmaden78]

I absolutely hate the new outdoor "malls". They ruined a place I used to go with my grandma and mom in pompano fashion square. Don't even get me started on how Macy's ruined Burdines 😢. I think it would've been more successful if they'd just bought it and let it be. It had a pretty cool Florida vibe. Back before we were known for what weird random dudes do in the middle of our state at a Waffle house.

[@johnnyrocketed2225]

[@sullivanradley]

Hey, Minty! I cannot thank you enough for reviewing this b-movie classic. I had already seen Night of the Comet at some point (because I recognized many of the scenes when I recently rewatched it). But sadly, then, I hadn't picked up on just how good it is. So, it took you to help me unearth this forgotten gem.

[@granddeception4290]

[@cmaden78]

Honestly if you were around when it came out as the world was making a really big deal out of Halley's comet

[@MarchingGrrl]

During the shopping montage there is a very iconic frame where where Sam sets her submachine gun down on a display table covered in high heels. I feel like a painted version of that frame would have made an EXCELLENT on-brand minimalist movie poster. Either that, or the shot of when Reggie is riding home on Larry’s motorcycle and she stops at a light next to an empty car with the red sky blazing behind her.

[@MrJRoyal76]

Oh Man i loved this movie as a kid. I saw it after my Mom rented it for me way back. It felt so real, and yeah as a kid i totally identifed with them, wanting to go do stuff you have never been allowed to, take what you want, etc. As a kid who didn't dream of being to do what you want, when you wanted, etc. Exploring any place you wanted without some adult telling you what to do. Plus Oh My God i had a thing for Reggie. She was not only beautiful, but strong, and smart, and really cool. Catherine Mary Stewart's portrait of Reggie set the tone for the exact kind of woman i wanted in life. Samantha was really cool too, goofy, but strong when it mattered. Plus both girls maintained their moral compass from start to finish. Something we could all hope to do in their situation. This was a Girl Power movie that didn't have to tell people it was about Girl power. It didn't make the men weak in order to make the women seem strong like so many movies today do. The girls badassness overpowered the movie, something missing from today's filming. I think i've seen this movie over the years at least 20 times off and on. It's too bad Stewart wasn't in more movies back then. She was a real leading lady.

[@quirindongo13]

Grew up with this movie. My Mother is a Horror Fanatic and adored this film. Both my parents would watch this every year almost religiously without fail. Thanks for this Minty, such an underrated film.

[@andrewbolivar3040]

Regarding the movie poster, the people on top are not zombies but Doris, Chuck and the neighbors watching the comet, hence the glare in their eyes. The doorway image pays homage to the scene when Reggie arrived home and leaves the door wide open like she lives in a barn. The darkness/space of the poster is to represent the darkened home.

[@k.morris2236]

Minty gosh you find the oldies I've watched over and over as a kid. Loved this movie.

[@p9a9r21]

It's great you mentioned the fact "Night of the Comet" was a forerunner of strong female leads in science fiction movies to be followed by Sigourney Weaver in the Alien franchise on the big screen and Buffy The Vampire Slayer on the small screen. When I first saw the film in the 80's I couldn't help thinking how bad could an apocalypse be if the last two females in LA were Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney. The first order of business; repopulate the Earth.

[@craigbeasley3120]

Alien was released in 1979, and Ripley kicked alien ass from that point forward. Not to take anything away from Stewart and Maroney, their take was awesome, and NOTC is one of my favorite movies.

[@seanrhone5306]

"Daddy would have gotten us Uzis" - Love that line

[@GOOSEAF]

So many people has said that this is their favorite line from the movie and it is among the top 2, but Reggie's reply is even better. "The car didn't know the difference".

[@Capronice]

This was one of my favorite movies. I loved the humor and I think as a teen the idea of being able to drive any car you find and not having to go to school or go to work was so freeing. I also was a huge Buffy series fan.

[@tilasole3252]

There is an unofficial free version on KZbin. I found it when NotC was officially free on KZbin for a while. I am pretty sure it is here to stay.

[@jeffpotts6187]

Night of the Comet has one of the best creepy movie lines delivered by the character Willy - the one when he mentions something about "not in your worst nightmares...", and then pulls down his sunglasses. It almost sends chills down your spine. That actor played that character p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y.

[@MonzaRacer]

Did you know he was in Lone Wolf McQuade with Chuck Norris and David Carradine.?

[@jaysonthelucero5478]

I always thought that it was pretty obvious to anyone that's seen the movie, that the doorway on the poster (with Reggie standing in it) is meant to represent her stepping out of the safe room that she awoke in, and out into the world of the Comet-Dead. It's kind of a callback to her leaving the theatre the next morning, and looking out onto the bright (red) light of the day after the comet.

[@SupaNovaSlom56]

Fun facts: The budget was so low there was only “Two Zombie” in the whole movie: the zombie in the ally and the zombie in the house, not including the sisters nightmare with the “Zombie “ cops! 😂🤣 they basically where fighting non zombie humans for the most of the movie: the clowns in the mall and the crazy scientists 😅😂 Still an epic 80s awesome cheesy classic 😅

[@plngym]

Saw this in the theatre the night it opened. First movie I saw alone, no friends or parents. I loved it then because it was from my age perspective. The concept was interesting and the character Reggie was beautiful by 1980’s standards. Tempest was my favorite video game at the time so I appreciated the nod to contemporary culture. Love this movie.

[@titusgeorge9280]

Back in the 80’s we did a triple feature on VHS at my buddy’s house, with Night of the Comet, The AST Starfighter, and Dreamscape. At that age we thought it pretty wild that Catherine Mary Stewart was in two of them, and the main character’s name in TSL and D was Alex. Looking back now, the last part isn’t all that surprising, but a nice unexpected double feature with CMS.

[@stevesandwichproductions1043]

Good review! It was an excellent movie and everybody should see it. I really admire what they did with the low budget. All of the characters were likeable. The song was very nice too. The movie had a very comfortable vibe to it and was an admirable achievement.

[@KhakiShorts]

I watched this when I was a teenager. I loved the fact that the main character survives the comet because she's hooking up with a guy in the movie theater's projection booth.

[@bryanrizzo9377]

Catherine Mary Stewart was so hot as Gwen in Weekend at Bernies. Seeing her in that one piece swimsuit was pretty jaw dropping.

[@rickc.3552]

One of my all time favorite 80’s movies.

[@schizoidboy]

I liked Kelly Maroney's character Samantha (I'm not sure I got the actress's name right) and I think she is underrated as an actress. She starts out carefree in the beginning, perhaps in denial of what is happening, but the scene where she's with Reggie on the police car talking about her friends and recalling how one of her friends was flunking algebra and trying to keep her parents from finding out she just subtly starts to break down realizing her friend is now dead was just perfect. I think movies these days need to go from focusing on star power and markets to just having good writing. If you have good writers and good actors the movie will take care of itself.

One of my favorite movies. Such a fun watch. Just an FYI about the Sherman Oaks Galleria, the original Galleria was torn down and a new complex was built. The original mall was 5 floors and it was a closed building. The new structure is more of an open hallway with very few shops. All it really has now is a couple of good restaurants, a beauty school, a gym, and a movie theater. The new mall is actually the photo you showed. Great video!!👍😊

[@dragdragon23]

I love this movie, I saw it on cable back in the early 2000s and just fell in love and every time I see it's on cable or a streaming service I watch it again and again! Also there is a part in the movie where the camera is just showing the empty streets of the city and in one corner, I think the lower right, you just get a glimpse of a woman coming out of a building, and it wasn't any of the actresses in it, it was clearly just some woman who probably didn't know a movie was filming at that time, I guess even the director and editor didn't see it! It's been awhile since I saw it, so I can't remember when it happened, just looks around in the parts when they are just showing a view of the streets and buildings and you will likely spot her, lol!

[@Downhuman74]

Nice video!! I love seeing this underappreciated gem get attention. Have to strongly disagree on the name part, though. I lived through the 80's and must have seen Night of the Comet about 100 times on cable TV -- it got major play on there and that's one of the biggest reasons why it is such a cult classic now. But let me tell you, if it had been called Teenage Comet Zombies it wouldn't been shown anywhere on except on USA's Up All Night (which I'm sure played it once or twice anyway). Night Of The Comet may seem generic in comparison but it gave it an air of legitimacy that ensured a long shelf life on premium cable channels.

[@tobiwalker7145]

I agree. Teenage Comet Zombies would have been a spoofish Corman/Romero smash-up. Night of the Comet has some dignity in it without directly referencing any Living Dead.

All the color tvs in my home would not pick up the station (ah being a kid in the 80's) I was blown away by the mood and the premise of it. I think this movie and Nigh of the living dead were the major influences that molded me into loving dystopian movies as a kid.

[@larrym5120]

I used to see this on late at night tv when I would come home. It would be on the USA tv network station when Gilbert Godfrey hosted the cheesy movies on Friday night and Rhonda hosted on Saturday night.

I was a young boy in the 80s. I don't remember this movie at the theatre. My most memorable movie from 84 is The Terminator. What I do remember about night of the comet is when Halley's Comet came by in 86. Everyone was talking about this movie. They played it a Lot on HBO. I watched this so many times in 85 and 86. So of course when they released it on blu-ray. I bought it.

[@AvengerII]

One of the three films Catherine Mary Stewart is remembered for... The other two being Weekend At Bernie's and, of course, The Last Starfighter. She was and still is VERY cute. I used to confuse her with Mary Stuart Masterson because of the similar names. MSM came a little bit later and had a slightly longer career in the late 1980s through about the mid/late-1990s. They both (semi?) retired from acting to get married and raise families. I'm amazed Tempest (1981) appears here but the movie was released in 1984! That was about a year after she finished shooting The Last Starfighter and under a year after the videogame market collapse (1983) of the 1980s. Videogames DID make a comeback in a huge way thanks to Nintendo and its NES console system a few years later. The NES, itself, actually came along in 1985 but hit its peak in the late 1980s.

[@Destin65]

"It's Saturday morning. Where are the kids?" - The way they emptied out Los Angeles and the Sherman Oaks mall was that they filmed much of the outdoor stuff early in the morning on Christmas Day. Also, as you mentioned the tight release schedules that may have prevented Heather from playing Samantha, maybe, maybe not. Consider that Catherine Mary Stewart was in both The Last Starfighter (July 13, 1984) and Night of the Comet (November 16, 1984) and it makes you realize that maybe Heather could have. Still, I think Kelli did awesome and like her in that role.

[@bbutc]

Caught the ending of this film about 20 years ago on TV and it stuck in my mind but I didn't know what it was called until now. Watched the whole thing last night and its a great 80's sci-fi 'B' grade movie which had appeal to teenagers who fantasise about being left to play about in world with just themselves and their teenage friends. Although in reality the fantasy would quickly turn to a nightmare as soon as the fresh food and water ran out. Wish I was still a teenager!

[@leekrystek425]

I came of age in the 80's and everything about it is pure nostalgia for me. I love that the budget was kept low as this makes people be more imaginative in how they do their production. I would have loved to seen a sequel. -- One thing not on your list is that idea of the world being positioned by the trail of a comet goes back at least to 1913 and Arthur Conan Doyle's (yeah, the guy who invented Sherlock Holmes) short story "The Poison Belt" in which a passing comet apparently kills the entire world except for a small band of adventurers that hold up in an airtight room with an oxygen tank. -- Oh, and BTW, pineapple does belong on pizza, but you need to pair it with bacon!

Some corrections about malls: A) The Sherman Oak*S* (plural) Galleria (This is in "The Valley" proper. Where "Valley Girls" came from.) was used for the interior shots of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but for the exterior (pictured 7:57 ) They used the Santa Monica Place. (Santa Monica is over the hills south of the valley and technically the west side of Los Angeles proper.) B) Though they refer to "The Galleria" in the film, The Sherman Oaks Galleria was NOT used for any shots in Terminator 2. Everything seen was all Santa Monica Place (including those employee-only corridors, which were real.) until the kid jumps out of the parking area with his motorcycle. At this point they transition to the Northridge Mall, which is back in "The Valley" on the far north side. While this was the biggest of all these malls, it felt pretty far especially in LA traffic which was already terrible by the mid 80s. C) Everything else stated is accurate, which is impressive for Minty, given he's basically talking about my living room from the other side of the planet several decades later.

Valley Girl was filmed at the Del Amo fashion plaza in Torrance in the South Bay. It was the biggest mall in the world when it opened

[@T.C.-st8uz]

Minty! You keep helping me to relive, and to re-examine these huge influences from my childhood. Like probably 3/4 of the videos you've done, I had this one on VHS tape And probably watched it 10 times before I was 10.

Catherine was such a beautiful girl. My favorite in those days. Long live TLS.

You missed the fact that this is a Christmas movie. What do you want for Christmas? I want teenage comet zombies!

Love this film. I remember the foreboding hempless feeling of dread it instilled in me as a child, especially since the acting phlebotomists spake of harvesting children. And I'm surprised you didn't mention your crush like you did on The Last Starfighter.

This was one of those movies that, as a 12 yr old flipping channels one night, fell upon this gem. Loved it so much that I woke up my brothers that same night, because back then cable movies would repeat themselves, so watched again from the beginning. Good memories, Good "B" Movie!

Would love to see you do Streets of Fire one day :) terrific film and highly underrated at the time it flopped and good cast

[@luciusvorenus9445]

Excellent suggestion!

[@allysonjones8234]

Agreed!

[@Tracy-Lee-Staton]

Yes! Such a great film! Very underrated indeed. Great suggestion 👍🏻

[@terrymurphy7790]

The music was great.

[@samfrito]

Streets of Fire is a perfect 80's film. Walter Hill made the 80's as much as Cameron or Hughes

This was one of the first movies I really remember seeing, on hbo I think? It gets me all nostalgia-y!
