My Science Project - Good Bad Flicks

[@Shadewe]

My favorite line was the answer to sunglasses. Vince Latello: Because when you're cool, the sun shine on you 24 hours a day.

[@markf.4063]

Absolutely LOVE this movie! Vinnie's response to the booking officer's question, "Because when you're cool the Sun shines on you 24 hours a day" is a line I still use to this day.

[@Halfpint71]

And I thought I was the only one who remembers that line!

[@flatcapman]

@@Halfpint71 I remember that line as well as Vinnie's remark during line up "What's the matter? Do I have booglers?" the female cop calls him a little cockroach

[@DB742]

@@flatcapman & "chill out butch, get a shave". 😂

[@DB742]

This should've been the answer to all the Corey Hart rips we heard about sunglasses after dark back in the day.

[@mr.whisper3338]

My favorite film from the 80's as a kid.

[@SpaceKingDinosaur]

Oh hell yes! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who enjoys this gem. Far from perfect but dang it is fun.

[@CantankerousDave]

Aw, you cut it before the response “When you’re this cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day!”

[@jratma]

I love the line when he activates his car’s middle finger button, too.

[@tubewatcher97]

which *is* the correct answer!

[@BostonSteve922]

One of my favorite movies from the 80’s

[@shadowstate552]

I never knew how they missed Sherman hiding in the bushes when he had a bunch of flashing red lights on his head.

[@gutz1981]

This was a VHS favorite of mine back in the 80s and a fun late night TV pop up in the 90s. It was a fun, easygoing film that didn't need too much effort to be entertaining. I can always watch this.

[@stddgv11]

I loved the crying Dawson Creek emblem you inserted at the military base. I had to back it up to make sure that's what it was, it was so quick.

[@USMCRabbit]

I remember my dad had this on a VHS back when I was little (early 90s) and we'd watch it. So many good videos we used to watch that we had on random blank VHS tapes. Thanks for covering so many of them!

[@kimbaptempura4073]

DIS-A-GREE! Saw this as a pre-teen in the theater and loved it! It was the perfect low budget mix of goofy, adventure and a little romance with some low brow humor mixed in. I've seen it since and it holds up as the low budget cult classic it is!

[@reverenddmo8944]

This movie is responsible for me calling almost everyone I knew "dicknose" for the best part of a decade. Did not go down well at divinity school...

[@tskmaster3837]

It's weird that I easily remember Dennis Hopper in both My Science Project and Super Marios Bros but I forget Fisher Stevens was in both as well. Fisher Stevens, a character actor since his first job I guess.... now a member of the Wes Anderson Usuals.

[@DB742]

Yea, he's also in Hackers in the 90s....which seems like a tech version of Vinnie grown up.

[@n2supersymmetry]

My science project, Weird Science, Revenge of the nerds and Better off dead were the movies of my youth. Thanks for bringing them back!

[@Felacio]

Ohmahgawd. Thank you so much for doing this one. I have been raking my brain for YEARS, literally years, trying to remember the name and details of this movie and it never materialized. Saw it as a kid close to 30 years ago and NEVER remembered past just a few little things here and there. You're my hero!

[@SuperStewie83]

Same here. Lol

[@imissmycerealasmr1681]

Love this movie. Makes me yearn for the 80s again. Like the time travel, alien, supernatural elements.

[@andrewwblanchard6037]

this is why I LOVE your videos because most of these movies I wouldn't have even heard of much less watched THANK YOU

[@JnEricsonx]

3:00-HAH! I love Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man. God bless early 90's movies that used the Desert Eagle EVERYWHERE.

[@jasontaylor5777]

Honestly one of my favorite 80's movies. So emblematic of the times

[@dragonkings01]

gotta give it a thumbs up for even remembering this film

[@aaroncostello8812]

"I kinda feel like Gregory Peck in 'The Guns of Navarone'." -Vince Latello I said this all the time while tinkering with things when I was a kid even though I didn't know who Gregory Peck was and had never seen 'The Guns of Navarone'. 😂

[@Saad_Man]

i absolutely love seeing mid to late tweny year olds playing highschoolers. never change movies.

[@carrieanneatreides6240]

This.

[@arthas640]

It kind of bugs me when they go a little over board with this. I remember seeing a movie where the mom and kid were about the same age in real life and the high school "kid" was just about old enough to have a kid in high school.

[@meshugganaut]

I remember seeing this when it got released on VHS. I was a kid and that was the first and last time I would ever come across it... until now! The memories. Nice one Cecil.

[@GoatPopsicle]

I remember loving this movie so much as a young kid. It was the first movie I ever bought, on VHS, as a kid.

[@bryanthebryan2638]

This movie is a guilty pleasure. Thanks for covering it.

[@dantejones5639]

I JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE 2 WEEKS AGO IT BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES OF BEING A KID

[@WhatAreWeDoingRightNow]

this movie is so good

[@toddpeterson5904]

I can't count how many times I saw this (and the Wraith) growing up. The concept was clever and the characters were good, right down to the deadbeat dad. I annoyed the hell out of my friends quoting Vince Latello. To this day I remember how to connect dynamite to an electrical tower.

[@Coalmine_Canary]

I had a theory that every Dennis hopper character was the teacher blasting through time.

[@jamesguitar7384]

kinda like quantum leap!

[@chiptankgirl]

The nostalgia this channel inspires is invaluable.

[@memyself1670]

I friggin love this movie growing up great memories thank you.

[@BaronOfAnarchy]

I loved this movie as a kid. Haven't seen it since I was 14, it's about time I did. Every time I see those plasma ball lamps, my first thoughts are the gizmo and this movie.

[@bgm1975]

I absolutely LOVE this movie. My sister and I only had a few movies when we were kids, and My Science Project was one of them. Fisher Stevens was the BEST part of this movie, and I love every moment of this film.

[@Sawlon]

Still love this movie!

[@AllBreaksLoose]

"go ahead make my semester!" Was the best line ever.

[@qqrk1372]

Saw this when it first came out... LOVED IT!

[@xralphxralph]

Absolutely loved this movie growing up and it's still a great flick

[@gonzalod.837]

Got an INSTANT 👍 LIKE!!!! Loved "My Science Project"... Use to see it all the time on HBO as a kid....

[@Deckaio]

Totally forgot this existed. Loved it as a child. Thanks for reminding me!

[@tonygriego6382]

I remember watching this on heavy rotation on HBO back in the 80s

[@vvendi9o259]

From Carach Angren, to Maduk, to Exodus and Nuclear Assault! Any vid he mentions metal is instantly my favorite!!!!!!!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I try to sneak some metal in as often as possible :)

[@bigneasy2106]

The Harley Davidson and the Marlboro man joke had me dying 😂😂😂😂

[@nickfrunzi3000]

I love that you review movies that I grew up watching in the 80s and 90s. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid and for that sir I thank you

[@williamhiers5348]

The coolest thing in this movie for me was always the Tyrannosaurus. That and the wonderful score. And I always thought the opening was effective; it was very eerie to me as a kid. Yeah we don't see the spaceship crash, but, eh, I didn't need to. "How many times do you Jedi," I believe, is the movie's attempt at some slang; in this context, they're asking how many times has he seen Return of the Jedi.

[@TheBitchspotReport]

It was a fantastic summer of science-related movies. This, Real Genius, Weird Science and Back to the Future all came out within a month or so.

[@crowsinthenose]

In the mid eighties, in a small town in northern Sweden, a young boy was treated to his first ever rental video experience. We were supposed to rent a moviebox (a luggable VHS player) and three movies (package deal) and I got to pick a movie all by myself! My dad and (older) brothers got miffed at me for taking too long to pick, but there were literally hundreds and hundreds to choose from. Finally, I settled for a movie that looked super cool. Mind you, this was at a time when two state controlled TV stations was all the entertainment I've ever experienced. Recently, I decided to try and find this movie. I couldn't remeber anything about it other than they were racing their car against the power lines (that was on the cover) and it was called something with 'time' in the title. It was hard to find, as the cover must have been an alternate and they renamed this movie to Timebusters here. The movie itself might not have made deep impression on me, but the experience sure did.

[@ponrix]

the outrun scene of the electricity! i could never remember which movie it was from till now. thanks man. just watched the whole clip of that part and brought a smile to face. lol

[@errolchristian6554]

One of my favourite movies from the 80s!

[@marcelgardner8497]

When you're cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day.

[@xenocyde8498]

can't lie Theodor Rex is a god damn guilty pleasure I love it so much

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

I actually didn't even know it existed until I saw the "Minty Comedic Arts" episode on it. But I'm glad to learn more about this obscure gem.

[@aintsam9952]

One of my childhood favs. That actor portraying Eisenhower is uncanny

[@glennhay6455]

Because when your cool the sun shines on you 24 hours a day. My favorite line in any movie.

[@martinedelius]

As a teenager in the 80's, and a huge fan of muscle cars as well as sci-fi and goofy teen comedies, I loved this movie! Yeah, the characters are dumb, especially Vinnie, and the premise even dumber but that didn't matter when I was 15. :)

[@joshuawilliams6321]

Love this movie. Totally underrated.

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

Great vid as always Cecil. This movie looks wild. Also I find it a funny coincidence that I literally just finished rewatching Blue Velvet before watching this! Looks like Dennis Hopper really likes huffing gas. Also isn't the guy who plays Vinny from The Burning?

[@LB74]

Yep, it's Vinny from THE BURNING. One of my favorites from childhood. I'm surprised by your being irked with Fisher Stevens' character. I remember him being quoted by my friends who watched this back in the day when it hit VHS. It's also getting a DVD/Blu-Ray re-release this year courtesy of Mill Creek. Also truth be told I preferred this over WEIRD SCIENCE. Who cares about Kelly LeBrock when you can see guys fighting it with a T-Rex, and blowing out its rib cage with a grenade launcher ? Also, I still think it wasn't all that out of the ordinary one could pick up TNT/Dynamite at the hardware store back in the mid-eighties. I could be wrong on that, but I could still see that going on until the laws tightened up.

[@chadgrigg6898]

Bag it all you want to. I still like watching this movie

[@maxrebosghostsmusic]

Cecil, this may have been your funniest exploring video yet! i don't think I stopped laughing once while watching.

[@Shadowace724]

I saw this in the theater, I loved it

[@pixxelwizzard]

My dad took me to see this as a kid. When he said we were going to "My Science Project" I totally thought I was going to see a movie about two teenage science geeks who created a gorgeous female model. I was in for a bit of a surprise.

[@CuddaBrown]

awesome all-time favorite

[@Jesse__H]

Maybe you could stop welding for five minutes WHILE THE PRESIDENT IS HERE? 😂😂😂

[@rooroo8767]

Love this film! One of my faves!!

[@SuperCrazyEstonian]

Now this is a movie i would like to see a remake of.

[@rustykuntz94]

I thought Vinny was the coolest cat back in the 80s

[@scottmantooth8785]

been a fan of this film since it came out...yeah, i'm that old. an excellent review...agree with comments that this has potential for a possible remake or reboot

[@calebmitchell6870]

This is still some of your best work!

[@JoeDredd2012]

1:17 LOL! 5:48 I love him in that movie too! Another great episode Cecil I always enjoyed this film as a kid and now as adult I actually love Fisher Stevens as the Vince Latello character he's my favorite in the film I can deal with John Stockwell in this film and another favorite of mine ''Christine'' but he's not really a good actor or director the only film he directed I did enjoy was ''Crazy/Beautiful'' everything else nope! I even enjoy the end title song done by ''The Tubes'''.

[@Piotwor]

I'm pretty sure the correct response to "Why are you wearing sunglasses at night" is "My vision is augmented"

[@Dvdfco]

Always with the best references, my friend

[@redburton2661]

LOL! That Dawson crest. Well done GoodBadFlicks...

[@orangelion03]

This was one of my brother's first credits as an optical effects artist. Still have the VHS somewhere (along with everything else he was credited on in those days).

[@WhatAreWeDoingRightNow]

you can watch this and the last tarfugher backt o back

[@JuddKramer]

2:55. I applaud your Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man reference.

[@gluserty]

Funny stuff; I remember when this film was on HBO when I was a kid, and I think I viewed some of it. I'll have to revisit it someday.

[@justinhollen]

I love this movie!!! Saw in theaters as a kid. It’s fun.

[@DingKong]

I rented this on VHS - I must have been around 14. I don't remember that much about it but I did enjoy it. The T-Rex effect seemed pretty cool at the time too.

[@rodgaray]

My GOD, I forgot about this movie!! It was good.

[@randycelaya4412]

I loved this movie. This was hilarious!!!

[@joshuabowen5617]

this is one of my favorite movies. I loved the dinosaur and the gto. my brother and I are the only people we know who have seen it.

[@orlandonostagiafever1964]

I like when vinnie hits the Neanderthal man with the shotgun and it breaks in half lol.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Great video. Dennis Hopper was also in 2 other really good films: Meet The Deedles, and Flashback.

[@DarylDucharme]

I loved this movie as a kid. I still like it a lot.

[@yavrielsechelle7431]

Gettin' closer and closer to 3 o'clock High!!

[@timm_3r]

Casey Siemaszko went to Schurz high school here in Chicago, my dad couldn't tell me enough that "I went to school with that guy!" when I was a kid. He was also in Young Guns.

[@Madbandit77]

+Timmer Ratajczyk He also played Jerry O'Connell's older brother in "Stand By Me".

[@mibvince]

Only KZbin channel to make a Turok reference :D I love you Cecil. Name your baby Turok get 10 000$

[@Exar_Kun]

I love the exodus and nuclear assault reference!! Survive is nuclears best album

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Hell yeah! Survive is great but I've always been partial to Handle with care.

[@Exar_Kun]

+GoodBadFlicks fuck yeah dude!! Those are my two favs next to game over and the Ep The Plague! I can't believe this is the first time I'm discovering your channel! You fucking rule and have a fervent subscriber here. Oh and also the lead guitarist from Atrophy is my ENT Doctor Jeff Lykins. Also throw some Actophet love in there haha

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Awesome! Welcome aboard, thanks for the sub. I've thrown a few random metal references in every so often. Everything from Scanner to Dark Angel. Wow Atrophy! I used to listen to Socialized Hate all the time. \m/

[@Exar_Kun]

+GoodBadFlicks anytime buddy!! Dude that's fucking awesome!! I appreciate the metal reference and how aware you are of amazing 80's films! Fuck yeah! He's a super nice dude still goes to shows super nice dude and he's down to do a cover of "product of the past" for "my band" that I've been putting together. I'll let you know has it goes. Keep on being fuckin radical and I will always support all the hardwork you out into your awesome channel!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Cool, good luck with the band!

[@Horzuhammer]

Sweet. Finally found a content creator that rivals Spoony in the "he's into really sweet stuff" -factor (the Exodus and Nuclear Assault references were just a cherry on top.) Really cool especially since you don't really hear from that guy nowadays.. I think I've spammed your vids with praises a bit too much within two days. I hope it doesn't get too repetitive reading through 'em.

[@TheMimiSard]

I remember that movie now, I think it was one of any number of random grabs at the video hire store.

[@Paineinyourblank]

hell yeah.. Thank you Cecil.. you rock!

[@Halfpint71]

Unlikable hero? Vinny was great! 😄 I loved this when it first hit VHS.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

I've seen mentions of "The Exorcist III," "C.H.U.D.," and "Death Wish 3." Any of those films would be awesome entries in the category good-bad flicks. That being said, so would "House," and "Critters!"

[@Wallyworld30]

Why do you wear sunglasses at night? Cuz when your cool the sun shines 24 hours a day!

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

I lost it at Deez Nuts lol (You have to realise it took me the whole video to write this, cuz i couldnt stop laughing)

[@HERITAGE12]

man i love this film. i still stick on the DVD every now and again. the humor in its fantastic. theres just so many little things in it. the mad lad that you see every now and again just laughing manically (fleeing the police station when the power goes etc), and the sheriff grabbing vinny by the neck to stop him mimicking him behind his back. they just put alot of time into the quirky characters. i agree with others , a reboot of this with a better budget to fully actualise the core concept would be brillant. my only concern is they might lose the charm. fecking PC culture is buggering up films lately and i cant see it handling the tropes in this.

[@lerm2866]

How did they keep the title song in my head for thirty years?

[@bloggerheads]

I'm going from memory here, but I think the original line behind 'How many times do you Jedi?' is 'How many times do you jag off?'

[@GrimmsHorrorShow]

Lmao, oh god, I forgot this movie existed! Thanks for dredging up repressed memories Cecil.

[@LawmanIL]

I saw this in the theater when I was 3. I just remember it was pretty terrifying.

[@realedvardjr]

For the longest time, I thought I imagined this movie from my childhood.

[@MrFurious176]

Definitely a classic!
