Oasis of the Zombies - Good Bad Flicks

“I’m utterly offended by the lack of nudity in this zombies film” - Cecil Probably

[@GoodBadFlicks]

You know me too well lol

[@wojo44frompl]

Trivia: Vehicle at 3:28-3:30 is British tank destroyer Archer. It was made combining hull of Valentine infantry tank with 17 pounder (76.2 mm / 3inch) anti-tank gun in place of turret. Oh, and gun pointing to the rear? It was intended - for one: to simplify work on construction of vehicle, and two: for planned use in combat. Tactic was to point rear (therefore, gun) in direction of enemy. After few shots Archer was supposed to change position by reversing, or rather (from perspective of driver) go forward. Yeah, that British technic for you... In the end less than 700 was produced in period 1943-1945, which makes quite rare armored vehicle.

[@retrodave79]

A knew it must be an Spanish/French production, at 3:22 you can see spanish army uniforms and hats in desert configuration. I also love the "backward" ""german"" tank, its a british WW2 tank destroyer, the Archer, and yes, its made backwards :)

"Even the spider thinks this was stupid!" 😂

[@ptonpc]

3:30 That's an Archer. A British SPG / anti tank vehicle from WW2. That's probably the best bit.

[@kiramead4133]

My favorite “so bad it’s just barely watchable” movie. Astounding on every possible level.

Dark Sun! That reference seemed to come out of nowhere but I loved it lol

I am random sometimes :)

[@jokerz7936]

Wow imagine making a movie where someone describes it as Zombie Lake but Bad.

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

Cecil's beginning alone had me in stiches! 😂

[@superlive98]

The worse version of ZOMBIE LAKE is the non-sexy cut of ZOMBIE LAKE. It is used alternate takes of scenes wherein the women never actually get naked.

[@roboexe]

Damn, man. That „Grown up Jawa from Phantasm“ line nearly made me shoot coffee out of my nose. 😂 Good stuff, as always.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@DeGLITCH]

Imagine a remake of Zombie Lake made so poorly, that it actually makes you wish to go back to Zombie Lake.

[@Ezoangelofdeath]

LOL

[@ruffusgoodman4137]

well, at least it follows the trend of remakes

[@caroldowning8243]

At least I actually liked Zombie Lake, despite it's many flaws it has a good story to hold it up. Oasis however, yeah that was just a chore to get through, nothing that stood out to me at all. It's on blu-ray though so it must have some fans, even if their just Franco completests lol.

[@PictureProductStudio]

That's the catch: I can't!

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

Hard to imagine. :) The thing that amuses me about "Aombie Lake" are the scenes in the lake that are clearly shot in a public pool. That and the Smurf zombies. :)

[@johnchandler8476]

What do zombies sound like? Stick on a washboard? You're a genius!

[@EricBarbman]

For the scholars (and gentlemen) interested in the history of cinematography, it appears from the wikipedia french page that Erika is played by France Lomay, which had a long career in another very specialized branch of the 7th art.

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

Franco would make a movie if somebody gave him some spare change.

[@pickleeggs3340]

🤣💀

[@carloshenriquezimmer7543]

He would make a movie with whatever change he could find in the floor of his last movie screening.

[@Ezoangelofdeath]

And he often did

[@superlive98]

My favorite thing that he would do for real is edit together scenes from his old movies to make entirely new movies with completely different plots.

[@ChrisMoneymakerDHRG]

Nice Dark Sun reference. Welcome to the party. I’ve been running a 2e Dark Sun game since June of 92.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Sweet! I only ever played it in one campaign. Love the setting. Just finished reading all the novels and I have almost all the 2e and 4e content. I hope it returns some day.

[@ChrisMoneymakerDHRG]

@@GoodBadFlicks Excellent! I have a lot of Dark Sun content on my channel, and am working on new game content. Today I have been drawing one of Nibenay's High Templar Wives standing next to him in his thrown room.

[@1kylecurry]

Even for Die Hard Horror fans this one was rough to get through. Definitely MST3K material...!

Given the era this emerges from, its a little surprising that this story idea didn't end up in an animated "Heavy Metal" film sequence.

8:46 😂😂😂 You know I would think if zombies made any noises it would be fart sounds Cecil not rocking chair sounds LOL. Another funny ass episode 😆😆😆👍👍👍

[@IMarcaI]

I'm actually amazed that they had a running Valentine Archer in this movie.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I believe that was some of the footage from the other movie

[@Zagdakka]

While tanks do turn their turrets backwards while marching this is a self propelled AT Gun "Archer" which was mounted backwards on the tank chassis...

[@AA-BB]

Sigh

[@kareningram6093]

When you said this movie is like Zombie Lake but worse, I paused this video to watch you Zombie Lake video. It was so bad, I was like "how could this one be worse?" OMG it totally is. Wow. This movie... exists.

[@genesanford9412]

Hell , even i still have 2 versions of this fart-blower . The box art is the best part of this flik.

[@ReanimatorsMutilations]

I also have 2 versions 😂

[@markiangooley]

No Anakin sand reference. Proper restraint there.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I was thinking about it but nah, too obvious.

[@TheMichaelStott]

I got a theory that the spider got so many scenes because it was actually the big boss watching everyone and controlling the zombies 🧟‍♂️ 🕷 Hey, I'm Australian. Spiders here are pretty much boss level bad guys 😜

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Everything in Australia is boss level. I had a fan send me a video of a Kangaroo trying to break into his house.

[@TheMichaelStott]

@@GoodBadFlicks That happens. Quite a few of our Animals show up uninvited. If I had a proper concept for a horror comedy it would be something about Zombie Emus.

I miss dark sun. Can't seem to find anyone wanting to play in that grim world.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I played one campaign back in the early 2000s. Being a lover of all things Post apocalyptic, I was enamored by the setting and how it was fantasy but it was so much different than the rest. I have the OG box set (the DM who ran the campaign I mentioned was getting rid of it when he moved), the 4th edition books and all the old novels. I've read through everything and I'm sad there isn't more.

[@donaldporr9682]

@@GoodBadFlicks I liked the mechanics of magic, and also thirst. The world to me is like if Sauron won middle earth. And your characters are the last bastion of hope. Heroes or villains. Making Athas better or worse.

[@Ciborium]

That tank is an Archer. It's a big ass AT gun on a Valentine tank hull. It's mounted backwards so they have room for the crew and gun and ammo in the front with the engine in back.

Mussels are a good source of protein. They're tasty when seasoned. However, senior citizens who lived through The Great Depression hate them as mussels were cheap and plentiful when beef and other proteins were not.

This is one of the few zombie movies I will move to my “do not watch list”. Thanks for the review, it saved me some brain cells.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Considering the amount of zombie media out there, you should have no problem finding something else

[@thEannoyingE]

It makes Zombie Lake look like Shock Waves.

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Great job on giving us a review of the other Zombie Lake, Cecil. Never heard zombies make a noise like opening a nailed-up crate. I still stand by my thought that "Shock Waves" is the best Nazi zombie film.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I could probably go a few months of nothing but Nazi Zombie movies (I won't but I could)

[@superlive98]

No, he didn't. There are two different versions of ZOMBIE LAKE just as there are two different versions of OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES. I've seen at least three of the four. LA TUMBA DE LOS MUERTOS VIVIENTES is seemingly a lost film, but I could have sworn I watched a bootleg 10-12 years ago.

[@joshuaperrine2019]

[@PictureProductStudio]

I mean, never underestimate Jesus Franco's lows, but how on Earth can you make a worse version of Zombie Lake? I thought that was impossible. Color me surprised, although now I'm strategically getting ready that there is a remake of Things and it's worse than the original. That said, core idea of remaking a bad or mediocre movie is something that I dig. People usually remake seminal classics rather than semi-cult movies with some splashes of ideas worth exploring. There are maybe like five of that and from the top of my head I only remember 1982's The Thing and 2012's Maniac (you can argue that both originals are classics and they kinda are, but one is dated and another one is hurt by its budget, so there were things to ry and improve). I'm suspecting that 2001 Maniac is a much better remake of the original Lewis movies, but I haven't seen them both, so I'm yet to compare.
