The Amazing Bulk (2012) (Obscurus Lupa Presents) (FROM THE ARCHIVES)

[@Lost-Lilim]

When they show the Bulk running away, I can't help but hear "tee hee hee"

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

I hear Allison's Eddie whiny-cry from her Baywatching reviews.

[@akiameko1984]

I was about to comment that I hear some old man tell him he can touch things, and him doing the Kermit "Hurray!", but in a really deep Hulk voice.

[@gracekim25]

Oh gosh 🤣

[@TheBonkleFox]

I'm gonna try to explain the bulk. simply put, the 237 failed tests were the result of the serum heating up their molecules to the point where they simply could not stand it and vaporized at various frequencies. the test conducted on the plant was successful because plants have much sturdier cells in their bodies, what with vacuoles and cell walls. the bulk's transformation is that the anger causes his body temperature to heat up, making the chemical react with his cells, converting most of his body mass into a body mostly made of a strange colloid that is mostly solid, but still liquid enough to move around in the strange ways that it does. this form allows the bulk to also manipulate his size and state of matter at will, which is how his foot gained scales when he crushed people. the tornado appearing around him when he changes is him vaporizing like the others, but being able to reform back into the bulk or hank howard at will. in fact, now i wanna make a story involving a hero similar to this description of the bulk's powers, except it doesn't suck.

this isn't laziness. this is clearly the ravings of a madman set to film.

[@llewelynshingler2173]

Maybe General NotVillian was the director.

At first, I thought this would be an Asylum movie. But this actually makes Asylum films look good!

[@patrickdix772]

3:48 Wait, I just noticed, when the gun fired it changed from a handgun into a revolver.

[@KasumiRINA]

And BACK! They were so lazy they didn't even tint the revolver model to black to fit. Hell, that could be even easily filled in any video editor! xD

[@benjaminyates7889]

When I was a kid my teacher had everyone paint a picture, then we had to use those pictures and try to make a story out of them. It was the most incoherent story I had ever heard, that's what this movie reminds me of.

[@misterprickly]

The bald guy has a few acting credits... YES some other people gave him a job... ACTING! Can you believe it?!

[@MarvinLowe1983]

I like the fact that when the bulk turns into a "real" man its just the actor who plays Garton painted purple. amazing . keep up the amazing work Alison loving Old Lupa and Movie Nights!

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

2:37 “A reference is not a joke” And here already, it is clear that you are funnier, smarter, and more talented than any of the higher-ups at you-know-where.

Wow, I think my shitty college media project looked better than this.

[@Micgrol]

I recall finding this at College and made it my goal to try and make 3D that's better than this movie.

[@multitudeofidols]

That the fall from the balcony killed him is made all the more absurd by the fact that he dropped from the helicopter from a higher distance, landing feet first and immediately began running.

[@darksupersaiyangoku]

If you can make it through this whole movie without laughing once,you deserve $1,000,000.

I own this movie solely because of this review and I have absolutely no regrets. Easily one of my favorite OLPs. :D

[@klisterklister2367]

Someone on tumblr mentioned this movie and then this movie and your review came flooding back in my memory

[@renegadehero7393]

I remember this movie. I was hoping it was a fever dream I had. 😆 Thanks Allison!

[@ellnats]

the bulk runs around like that weird titan from AOT

[@jaypage1665]

That's an insult to the Titan

[@U014B]

12:42 Your father Hank was an average fighter, but he was a GENIUS SCIENTIST!

[@almostfamous39]

You know he is a General because he has a Army cap - no cap equals crazy ol' geezer

[@matthancox7608]

Wow. The Demoreel episode of the Incredible Hulk was worse than I thought.

[@DerangedAvenger]

Hey! How dare you insult The Amazing Bulk like that?

[@dwarfbunni]

I feel like everything in this movie was 100% intentional. and that it was meant to be this fucked up so I put it on another level then the room, the room and birdemic were that amazing because they were legitimatly trying to make a good movie.

[@AmityvilleFan]

Actually in the audio commentary they tell the secret how this movie was made: #1 decided they make quick cash "spoofing" a big movie #2 they discovered some sites (listed in the credits) with stock footage #3 lacking the programming skill they built the scenes to "fit" the stock footage background. They even add in the extras some "left over" scenes to show whatelse they could have included, but they had sooooooo much self-restraint they did not use it XD

[@HocusFocusProductions]

This movie is a commentary on how Hollywood overuses greenscreen and relies too much on CGI.

[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

I...could actually buy that.

[@cybertek3188]

That actually would be convincing.

[@agentleman4610]

I feel like the commentary would hold more weight if they showed Hollywood's folly by showing how much better practical effects work over CGI. Instead of just throwing it all in your face.

[@germanvisitor2]

I thought Jurassic World was a commentary on the overuse of CGI.

[@TemmiePlays]

you're giving them too much credit. When you read the real making of story, you will see lol.

[@owenmacdonald7428]

I can always thank Allison for introducing me to many of my favourite so-bad-it's-good films/tv etc. Thanks to her I've seen this in full, and it was well worth it :D The two cops are such awful actors, like I can't get over how terrible their performance is (even compared to everyone else)! Garton and Tuddle should double team with Lutz and Garner from Witchcraft IMO ;)

[@owenmacdonald7428]

That's true actually, though having said that I do think there are varying levels of bad - like sometimes people trying too hard to convey emotions or acting in a really stilted, robotic manner when delivering lines can be far worse and easier to notice (almost like the uncanny valley in a way!). On the topic of Cinema Snob, he and Allison made arguably my favourite collaboration video from this crowd of reviewers - their review of The Asylum's Sherlock Holmes is terrific!

[@skykid3000]

I also love when the female cop dies, she could have easily ran out of the way of the direction of the car! Most hilarious death scene ever!

[@melaniespetunicorn6488]

Greg Diener ikr 😂

[@edvance1030]

Bulk running is just hilarious. It's like he really needs to pee, but he's holding it in as best as he can.

I'm way behind, but I was wondering if anyone else would notice the rank snafu, lol.

[@AlexanderFort]

“That stock footage is old as shit.” HAHA that made me laugh more than it should have.

[@WatchVenusSpa]

This movie never achieved Birdemic levels of legend due to how hard it is to buy on DVD.

[@Stillenacht3D]

I'm surprised the cast of "Food Fight" didn't make a cameo

[@spaghetti5914]

FOOD FIGHT IS BETTER THAN THIS

[@noneya3635]

That description of The Bulk is spot on. And yes that mincing run of his is comedic gold for days.

[@SgtRocko]

OMG am DYING laughing at this... this... whatever this is LOL Allison missed it (but understandable) - but the "General" is wearing U.S. Army STAFF SERGEANT Chevrons... there's so much wrong with just that scene there aren't enough hours in the day nor bottles of Slivovic to deal with it... Allison... how you kept as straight a face as you DID is... worthy of a Generalship LOL

I think the ending chase is an out-of-nowhere reference to the ending chase scene from the Blues Brothers where every kind of armed forces is after Jake and Elwood, but it's missing the comedy.

This is a GREAT episode of Obscurus Lupa and probably the first I'd recommend to a friend. With that out of the way to time nitpick! 1) That super fake Lupa laughter on camera...acting! 2) Comparing this to the room/birdemic. I'm sorry but if any of the creators are telling you this was a serious passion project that was meant to be treated fairly against its competitors than they were lying. These people were in on the joke. This is TRYING to be bad. It's successful at that but this isn't comparable to The Room. 3) That cop duo....glorious! I want to see them in more stuff.

Context of rockets and tech sexual imagery _there_ was that war = sex for politicians and generals. Here?! It's just an out-of-place Kubrick reference.
