They are indeed starting a cinematic universe. They'll go with a sequel/soft reboot first, throwing some Disney stars into the mix. Then, they'll produce a prequel, that tells the story of Space Cop as he climbed the corporate futuristic police ladder, becoming the renown officer he later became. And a TV miniseries, a police procedural, coming to Disney+, that will be set in the past and tell the story of Ted Cooper.

They clearly had SOME budget -- they have an entire huge building with enough room for multiple sets, enough money for all of the materials, enough money to hire someone to create masks, get Len to do stunts, enough money to afford the tools to make the props, enough money to afford the cameras and equipment. I'm not saying they're multimillionaires, but let's not pretend they have nothing either!

They made one - it's called "The Recovered." Believe Jay isn't overly happy with the results.

[@Halinspark]

If anybody ever needs prop guns, you could always use the plastic guns to make molds, and then melt a bunch of tin foil or beer cans into the molds to make guns that sound like metal and have enough weight to interact with the set and other props more like a real gun. Alternately, you can just glue a bunch of fishing weights inside it. In that case, aim for the magazine, bolt, and barrel areas when possible if you want a more realistic balance.

I never comment but I just want RLM to know how much I appreciate the hard work and dedication you all have to this channel, and also, how much I appreciate the unfailing honesty and enthusiasm for film that most "movie" KZbin channels lack. Can't wait to see this!

[@pr0t34n]

This makes me unexpectedly sad. These guys are having so much fun making this thing, pursuing a passion, and I'm just slaving away in front of a computer doing fuck-all just for the cash. I wish I had these kinds of friends in my life

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

I've had dreams about hanging with the RLM guys and I was always sad to wake up and find out that they have no idea who I am and we're not actually friends. Their videos do a good job of making you feel like you're hanging with friends.

[@tiberseptim37]

Too real. You made it too real... 😥

[@Luschan]

The downside of pursuing your passion is that it’s rarely sustainable. Even the RLM guys have to focus on a steady “job” that keeps the bills paid. (The thing that keeps viewership, movie reviews.) I used to romanticize the idea of living off my art, but even for moderately successful people like RLM it’s an endless grind with no insurance or retirement. The grass is always greener.

[@ParadoxapocalypSatan]

As Rich Evans once famously said: "I'm Rich Evans, and I've had sex", so Mike could have said: "I am Mike Stoklasa, and I have friends". Never give up, guys.

[@ParadoxapocalypSatan]

@@Luschan What they are doing is still related to their passion though. They're not exactly working at a factory. Okay, maybe Rich is, to support the others.

I love the movie because I love the effort these guys put into it. Silly as it may be, they're just doing what they love, and watching this video is kinda touching because of that.

[@dekaidoku]

Even tho the Movie wasn't "great", I have to admit that how much they actually put some effort into this makes me enjoy it for it is. Since I've seen so many of these that do something similar that felt incredibly half-assed

[@Puerco-Potter]

@@Struktualnyj I should agree, they exaggerate the acting so it comes silly, especially Mike. They didn't go to the Airplane academy of act the silliness like is serious business.

[@nosferatu5]

Yeah, i agree with the sentiment, a bit more directed acting from our mains and a bit more tight comedy direction/writing would be a good improvement. And im saying that because they did really well with what they got and built for props, and supporting cast. The lighting was great. The cops/supporting actors were great and felt very natural, which kind of clashed with our overly-comedic duo a bit. Stuff happening not in a warehouse full of cardboard boxes, shots with the car driving around town, stuff like that alleviated the kind of claustrophobia low-budget movies get, that get crammed into tiny spaces, with zoomed in shots. I was really surprised how well a lot of stuff looked, compared to their previous films, or other schlock that gets published.
