THE MIZ in WWE Marine 3! - OSW Review #26

[@SoAndZu]

Jesus Christ at that scene where Miz is holding the shotgun on the guy and then a guy appears behind him with a revolver. I was half-expecting the shot to continue panning to another Miz with another shotgun behind the guy with the revolver.

[@Luke.S2099]

That over guy with the shotgun behind the guy with the revolver would have been Mizdow lol

[@SirGeeeO]

"The potato salad looks amazing." Making Ireland proud!

[@TheSecondIDare]

This movie would of been so much better if Damien Sandow did all the stunts.

[@bonvct]

this movie needed a heel turn

[@jyatsko89]

Ewwwwwww Damien Sandow *begins to violently vomit*

[@char7403]

THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN EWW?

[@thescottishnerd]

TF2 Charmander it has to be mizdow

[@jamescole3744]

Steven Michaels funny day

[@DoobieKeebler]

"Don't watch the movie, just watch our review" - Done "And tell other people to watch our review" - And done

[@OSW]

Thank you brah!

[@DYLANJJK94]

Did 12 rounds 1 & 2 not come out before this review? I feel they at least missed those two for the starting bit lol I only watched 12 rds III, It was surprisingly an above average action film. Lol

[@reloadpsi]

You should be careful about saying that. One of the big things about fair use is you have to be considered not to be replacing the experience of viewing the actual work. These reviews don't in my opinion, but saying something like that is a great way to potentially lose that argument.

[@thatpart]

The "gotta get out of this place" is a split thing, in my experience. For some, there were just no opportunities or social engagements that could give them the life they wanted. I'm from a town that all but died after all the factory jobs left in the 90s. You want what's best for it, but life there would be stifling. The other folks are the "this situation X sucks, it'll be so much better when I go to Y". Then, they get there, and they react the same way. Granted, a minority, but it's hard to overlook this. Where you go, there you are

[@OSW]

Don't say we didn't warn you! It's the definition of average

[@uthertheking]

Fun fact about Ashley Bell: She's the daughter of voice-actor Michael Bell, who you might know as Raziel from the Soul Reaver games.

[@VSigma725]

There is one reason to not mock direct to DVD movies: Jean-Claude Van Damme. The guy has made some damned good direct to video films if you love old school action junk.

[@ststephen]

i love the raw before last when miz said "im the marine damnit" lol

[@mgunter]

It was Great for a made for TV movie, but average for straight to DVD standards. I think they were going for the bomb to damage the building; so by villain logic HE didn't kill them, the collapsing building did.

[@bloodrunsclear]

The Legend of Chun Li/Marine crossover we never knew we needed

[@ZamboinElite]

I want to point out that Oculus was actually released in theaters and was a critical success. So that's something. They need to stop making their films to star Superstars™ and just bankroll smaller potential successes like Oculus. Keep the Superstars™ as far away as possible.

[@OSW]

It is a much better idea, but WWE would need to *completely* bankroll films to reap the benefits. Like The Call was a hit, made over $68m in the box office but WWE only saw ~$1.3m profit. WWE films lost ten times that in 2013 alone ($12.7m)! Maybe their game plan is to lose money 20 years in a row, and then maybe they'll have made enough contacts to finance a summer blockbuster. It just seems like a vanity project, since WWE hate that it's a wrestling company.

[@DDHero2806]

you guys have to review They Live, that would be amazing.

[@borednow5838]

And on a Carpenter note a Big Trouble in Little China review from OSW lads would also be fun.

[@noahw5135]

"even wrestling fans stay away from wrestling movies" true story

[@comixproviderftw_02]

It takes you out of the movie

[@DXSUCKIT1990]

See No Evil was the best movie they had, better than the condemned

[@roetheboat1]

Oh, God. The horrible realization that Linda McMahon is now the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, as appointed by Trump. Both horrific AND ironic.

[@JackgarPrime]

Seriously. If there was anything you needed as proof to point to as far as nepotism or just general incompetence in staffing on Trump's part goes, that's a shining example. Sad thing is, it isn't even the worst one.

[@RabidDogma]

Small towns in America often don't have access to basic goods and services. They're often "food deserts," meaning that fresh food is rarely or not at all available in that area.

[@ZanraiKid]

"Miz grabs a conveniently place dirt bikes and pegs it." PHRASING

[@Tareltonlives]

"That should have been the Renegade: The Penultimate Warrior!"

[@MrSnapsgt]

You guys are the highlight of my boring Sunday mornings!

[@ICEGOD2]

I actually went to WWE new York. Food was fucking horrendous.

[@OSW]

+ICEGOD2 it's cool you got to go! What did you have and was it just bland or...?

[@ICEGOD2]

I was with some family from Queens and we had a buffalo wing appetizer. We ordered extra hot and got barely past mild but not quite medium. My main dish was gross looking Caesar salad with grilled chicken that looked like it came out a bag in the store. WWE New York in terms of food was no different than planet Hollywood or the supermodel restaurant. Very bland food served at beyond reasonable prices. The big selling point for the spot was when superstars at that time showed up. I can now see why WWE didn't invite too many food critics there cause them folks in NY are hard to please. Amazed that shit lasted for a few years.

[@jyatsko89]

Well there's your main problem mealwise bro, ya got a salad 😕... Not saying anything else was probably any better in quality lol, just sayin, salad sucks anywhere.

[@zumzum74]

Kind of sad to me that See No Evil and Condemned lost money. Not great films either of them, but still should've made something,

[@joeljohnson8214]

WWE should've promoted the restaurant better. Are you Rubbish Ronnie Starvin? Then come on down. We've got SuperFries Jimmy Snuka. They're a real killer. Also on the menu, Shane-O-Mac-N-Cheese, Booker T-Bone, Michael Coleslaw, Meat Loaf, and we got "ribs" too.

[@OSW]

These are all winner! Bucket of Backlund chicken wings to you!

[@Reebz0r]

Eliminators, starring Wade Barrett and Scott Adkins is great fun. Scott Adkins is a beast.

[@Xehanort10]

At least Miz didn't act like playing a Marine in a film made him a real life one like Cena did after the first film.

[@seanmcclure]

Seven years ago. Man time flies.

[@darringardner6310]

ok ... The Miz i will always LOVE to HATE because he likes a mix of Mr. Perfect Rick Rude and Shawn Micheals back when he was a massive heel ... Mike Mizanin is good at what he does in wrestling and from what i hear in movies so i say hes set for life

[@theavatar4668]

Why the fuck does Miz's youngest sister look like she's in her early thirties?

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Wow, seen my comment from 4 years ago. I've been watching you lads for a long time, as I was a fan way before this one came out!

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Hello 3 years ago me, I need to tell you about bats, Wuhan and Boris... Oh and buy toilet paper!

[@ringmasterblaze]

If the ending was Miz' sister forgetting to tell him about the bomb, then the bomb exploding in their faces, it would have turned it from a 34% on Rotten Tomatoes to 100%.

[@ringmasterblaze]

Actually, what would have been funnier, which is what I originally thought was happening, is if The Miz ended the movie making out with his sister.

[@marcsarfati3291]

Movie chili he, Miz character name is James Carter for good guy is super common. It tells the viewer is good guy. His initials are JC and Jesus Chirst or JC

[@StunningSteve]

the "buff cronie" is the guy who played Kano in the new mortal kombat webseries on machinima

[@tylerblair7847]

Holy shit! I just realized that. Thanks for the spot!

[@NaturalBornThriller4]

The bad guy should have been played by Elijah Burke

[@CostofSparta]

In a country where SWAT Teams are equipped with turret mounted armored transports and have used them to arrest petty criminals, I refuse to believe this situation would only warrant a few cops walking up to the front fucking door and spraying a few bullets around.

[@skinsman82000]

'murica...

[@bonvct]

+skinsman82000 fuck yeah

[@Thechezbailey]

Yes, but since the criminals are white they have kid gloves on.

In WWE SVR 2008 24/7 Mode (I'm playing for nostalgic reasons) and I have to face Booker T for a WWE film role and a legend is coming to help me. They act like it's The Rock but I know it's Rowdy Roddy Piper.

[@beau9956]

"wrestling fans don't pay for wrestling movies" fucking BOOM! Spot on! also.. i'd rather watch your review than watch the movies

[@TEEN1DOL]

Taka Michinoku gets gunned down!! LMFAO

[@StunningSteve]

Im pissed The Condemned didnt do better. It was a great film

[@romanmacharoni]

This was probably the best of the Marine movies. Cena was serviceable and looked more legitimate as the Marine but the Miz has way more charisma, and DiBiase was just terrible.

[@EvanSchatz]

also the female lead (forget her name) was much hotter edit: in the first Marine.. misread your post lol

[@EvanSchatz]

@Heavy Metal Collector yeah well, you do you, bud

[@ryyanhyyland9020]

Another classic. Thank you. 🎃❤️🎃

"Stranger. Stranger. Now that's a weapon."

[@timothysievert]

Is the boat set the same one they used in Recoil with Stone Cold Steve Austin? It looks really similar, but I'm too lazy to go back and find out for myself.

[@borednow5838]

"See you at the party Ritter!"

[@pureo_nikku]

Could not get past Miz's sister looking 30+ years old.

[@reloadpsi]

Hearing you mention the military recruitment bits was funny. UK military recruitment tends to go "don't join, we can't afford to keep you in the army or medically discharge you for war crimes, and you're probably not good enough for the marines."

[@Tareltonlives]

Here's a question: which wrestler's had the most prolific film career? I know Rock's been going steady, but Hogan had his big run Best films of course would be Roddy Piper in They Live and the Rock in Moana.

[@stormedcapone]

The rock. And I wouldn't say hogan had a big run considering that adding the revenue of all his films he starred in its -3.7 million dollars. Where as rock has billions.

[@Tareltonlives]

@@stormedcapone Well, I'm talking quantity rather than box office take

[@stormedcapone]

@@Tareltonlives the rock

[@deadeyedarwin]

Shane Douglas.

[@tbabubba32682]

I'm a huge fan of your "r" sounds.

[@tamirshimshoni8185]

Seeing the most Jared Keeso, the most Canadian man alive, as an American cop is so weird. It's like a glimpse into a horrible alternate reality where, instead of creating Letterkenny, he wastes his time playing "cop 1" in shitty generic action movies for the rest of time.

[@s0n1ch3r0]

Any episode that opens with Spinal Tap I know is going to be good.

[@kaidos123]

"they have a broment" i laughed so hard haha. mind if i use that?

[@ryanl.9341]

Brilliant synopsis of WWE Studios' illustrious history! This division is Kevin Dunn's pet project, gotta be, its existance is probably secured in his contract lol. I would venture that they truly believe, and maybe, just maybe rightly so, that one successful movie will turn it all around & they have the money to keep playing this game. That, combined with that winning movie featuring a WWE Superstar and getting him over to a Hogan/Austin level, could easily outweigh the years the shit in their minds and that wouldn't be illogical if The Marine indeed was a franchise similar to Fast N Furious, which may have made over a billion dollars legitimately.

[@borklazer]

Holy shit, Wayne is in this.

Just curious if y'all caught Lisa Simpson herself, Yeardly Smith, standing next to Tri and Ariel Winter

[@MrCenanuff]

Fun Fact: The big bad in this movie (Jonas Pope) is now the big bad in Arrow Season 4, Damian Dark.

[@beau9956]

that fact was not fun

[@Xehanort10]

Dahrk also ended up one of the main villains of Legends of Tomorrow Seasons 2 and 3 as well. And Neal McDonough also voiced Bruce Banner in the Hulk animated series.

[@brendaoverbuttholelick4436]

Apparently Knucklehead brought in a whopping $75 in six theaters opening night. Holy fucking shit if that is true.

[@mr_insult6192]

you know this went straight to dvd

[@jyatsko89]

What's that little intro song with two verses you guys use called? Or did you guys make it lol? I wanna listen to the whole thing, if there is one.

[@1ButtonDash]

Not sure what they were thinking making this especially after the 2nd one. On a side note thou, I don't understand how they lost 34 million from their restaurant. I went there a couple times and it was pretty good and always packed. I guess times square has just crazy as hell rent.

[@wftbanks5737]

i love you guys american impression.... its half good ol JR half Vince.... I laugh everytime

[@Zycyzyx]

The "SWAT guys are pushovers to put over the villains as a threat" thing has to have just been an imitation of Die Hard. I've seen it done so many times. I always felt that they made them a bit too comically bumbling in DH; but the obvious point being made is that direct confrontation is not the solution against a clever villain who planned ahead for every eventuality (except one.)

[@rocasaamsterdam]

Loved every second of it. Good show guys :D

[@12345done6]

I never realized how early this episode was

[@borednow5838]

Pretty sure that Neal McDonough who plays the villain in this is the brother of Oscar nominated director Martin McDonough (Three Billboards)? Certainly looks like him.

[@nahhfam7678]

In kayfabe Miz asked boyfriend if he wanted a beer because he was testing him to see if he was responsible or not.

[@TheTexasCowboy56]

I shouldn't admit this but I did like the Chaperone movie.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Condemned is brilliant imo. No I did not pay for it lol...

[@kcjustice08]

WWE Studios has their hands in The Rock's movies initially.

[@BuyOrDie89]

I'll go to the papers if I have to!

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Lol first time I've seen this one with the actual footage. The "Flowers" song bit is mint lol. Made me wanna watch this awful, awful film...

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Hello 8 years ago me, I've got a lot I need to fill you in on...

[@hugoalynstephens9166]

Possibly my favourite instalment in The Marine Franchise.

[@blastkill]

WWE, the state of your film division.

[@RabidPixel]

I didn't know the alphabet went A B and 3

[@nexviper]

Jesus what did Neal McDonough do to end up in this shite? Did he need the money that bad? I hope he got paid a heap.

[@markbradley9907]

Dean Ambrose is out now to star in a WWE film called Lockdown, he's a cop locked in a precinct with other dirty cops or something like that. Thoughts on Ambrose's acting potential? He's one of the more convincing guys on WWE TV, so...

[@skinsman82000]

when does Samuel Cain's wife get kidnpped?

[@xymoriintus]

When you think of this movie as a animated movie instead of what it is, it seems a lot better lol random I know

[@willhoefer6394]

I know it wasn't released until 3 days after this episode, but does The Call's $55 million net profit put WWE Studios back into the black?

[@OSW]

No, WWE only get a fraction of the profits/losses of each movie (just as well!) so The Call netted them a cool $5 million. Figures were just released today. Thanks Piledriver Wrestling!

[@classicbananamilk]

don't feel too bad for vader's lad jesse white/jake carter, he goes out with jojo

[@standardofexcellence]

this gonna be so marginally better than the last marine!

[@Urban_Cheese]

What is that stupid sound V1 makes at 3:53? Hilarious episode as always!

[@guyincognito5706]

I think it’s the Ricky Gervais sounds from the Genie skit..”I’m bent out of all recognition, huuuuuuuu.”

[@jarkkolaamanen1654]

How can a simple restaurant cost 34 million?

[@WBFC1995]

Honestly think they may have misquoted that, 3.4 million seems more than likely. 34 million impossible to lose in the restaurant business.

[@OSW]

$34 million is correct. It was situated Times Square, which is incredibly expensive. It was generally empty outside of TV/PPV nights and during the day, and the manager also embezzled millions. It was a big business venture that fell on it's face. Sadly. I think it's a cool idea.

[@JaKeW138]

OSW Review HD I went as a kid and met Taz and the Big Show, cool shit

[@theavatar4668]

OSW Review HD I went to the WCW restaurant and got a Booker T-bone steak.

[@njdevs1987]

Do you think the losses look worse because the WWE "charges" WWE studios for the ad time making them look worse while the main show looks a bit better? I mean if they do it that way they could trick themselves into thinking its not as bad as it was.

[@beau9956]

its not tricking, its writing off losses, they will claim the advertising costs back on tax bro.

[@radicalgoodspeed16]

I never understood why they didn’t make money out of the characters they had created for gimmicks, I think they would have done better in the box office

[@nahhfam7678]

In kayfabe you could say that the reason the swat team is killed because they aren't trained for equally armed paramilitary groups whereas the marines are. I can't stop kayfabing, help me.

[@taylorlunsford8703]

the miz should be acting in Lucifer valentine movies instead of low budget action

[@wtfmayormccheese]

Any thoughts on wwe studios announcing Marine 4?

[@OSW]

I don't blame them as the Marine films perform far better than the average WWE film. No idea why they're bringing Miz back - I would've liked to see Cody or a Shield member...just someone new and not boring!

[@Shauny-gw2dg]

[@rexryan472]

what about 12 rounds? did that make any money?

[@OSW]

Jorge Gutierrez The latest info I have on it is 12 Rounds (with Cena) lost $2.8million. Marine 3 is profiting $1.4m (fantastic as it was straight ot DVD); 12 Rounds 2 with Orton made $1.3m. WWE Studios made half million profit in 2014 (first time ever making a profit) but overall they're still down a whopping $35.1million

[@llynellyn]

+OSW Review HD I honestly expected 12 Rounds to be the biggest earner because IIRC it was the only one I saw come out in the UK, then again in hindsight that probably meant it cost much more lol.
