The Dungeonmaster - Good Bad Flicks

[@samokuma9596]

Must admit "i reject your reality and subsitute my own" IS a great Line.

[@Reapermaskhybrid]

I heard that line from SAO Abridged, guess Kayaba wasn't wrong about that line being from this movie.

[@AntonioCardenasT]

Ive said that line numerous times amongst my friends and I have no idea where I got it from.

[@StrazdasLT]

@@AntonioCardenasT probably mythbusters, its in the intro of every episode.

[@GankbotShuk]

@@StrazdasLT Also used in ERB's Mythbusters vs Ghostbusters episode.

[@reubanmalliett5938]

@Hakelous-reviews there is an interview with Adam saying he never saw the movie but worked with and learned from the prop guy from Dungeonmaster

[@michaelk8860]

After finishing the video, I am fairly certain that main character's armor / battle outfit is actually pieces of a dog trainer's suit - the padding they use when training attack dogs.

[@georgiahoosier]

Richard Moll owns that haircut...he should brand it as a "Mollet"

[@AubreyTheKing]

"I reject your reality and substitute my own!" One of the BEST LINES I have ever heard in film history!

[@Centurian128]

Well, considering it's supposed to be a gallery of criminals I would guess that the werewolf could be Peter Stubbe. He was convicted of witchcraft and murder in the guise of a wolf in 16th century Germany. He's the subject of the, I guess it's more of a pamphlet "The Damnable Life and Death of Stubbe Peeter." It's one of the better documented werewolf cases. I'd give mad props to the crew were this really the case.

[@Rattslinger]

You and the RLM guys make this movie seem like a lot of fun.

"Having a nigtmare... a sexy nightmare" Of course, the title is ♂DUNGEON MASTER ♂ after all

[@michaelolsen4196]

Yes. I’ve been looking for this for ages.

[@juliagoodwin9510]

"I reject your reality and substitute my own!" Finding out that line originally came from this movie and not Mythbusters was weird as hell. Adam Savage said it better, imho.

[@VicStrange9]

"This movie was written as an anthology". Well, that makes a whole lot more sense. It does look like a compilation of crazy oneshots you try to pull off when the main DM is taking his deserved vacation. I'll go on a limb and say I kinda miss that. Everyone's trying to make boring stuff for 2,5 hours instead of pulling something original and trying short stories. I mean, Creepshow was a thing, right? "Hey look, they're filming an S Club 7 video". Holy shit, THAT EXISTED. It burned itself so fast I thought it was somewhat of a fever dream I had as a pre-teen. Dammit, the late 90's were a trip.

[@FreihEitner]

When you said the film was directed by seven directors, I expected this to be one of those situations where the producer kept firing directors (then later hiring back previously fired ones). Surprise ending, I guess.

[@corydeceased]

Idk if Charles Band has ever actually fired a director (or had the resources to)

[@brdarlin]

lol the baby shark part my 3 yr old daughter came running from the other room “WHOS SINGING BABY SHARK?!”

[@thEannoyingE]

It’s sad how so many people think Adam Savage cape up with that quote. This movie is fucking nuts.

[@darkman3645]

Ok, the Baby Shark gag was easily the best part of this video, I laughed so hard at it. That said I need to track this movie down. I had heard of it, but haven't seen it.

[@jakecolt9783]

I loved this movie, it was called Ragewar over here in the UK, it had a really cool poster as well. Thanks for covering this film.

[@coffeezombie244]

Ragewar is the best name for some sort of Reddit movie.

[@chartreux1532]

+Jake Colt And here in Germany it was called "Herrscher der Hölle" which means ""Ruler of Hell" But unlike in the UK, here in Germany but also France etc. most Movies especially back then got a different Name instead of just translating it's Original Name to the Language. Though, in some cases changing the Name is necessary because it wouldn't make Sense or sound off in the other Language, especially if the Name is some Saying or Phrase that is known by everyone in the Country of Origin but not elsewhere

[@tiagoalest6425]

This channel is PURE GOLD!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@TheStrykerProject]

W.A.S.P is the only reason I ever even heard of this movie and, yep, I watched it mainly to see them. Plus, I was huge into D&D and, yep, the title intriqued me. Markenting works, folks! 😆 Anyway, thank you Cecil for this reminder...I had actually repressed the entire movie except for the W.A.S.P. part!

[@Snakkadooby]

Damn you, that Baby Shark gag had me choking on my coffee! Well done :)

[@barbyonabike]

Great, now I have the baby shark song stuck in my head again.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Sorry about that lol

[@googaboogaloo]

YES! I love WASP. Also whenever he uses his powerglove my buddy and I would yell “HACKED EM”

[@ja37d-34]

[@daveb1930]

There's a sequel to this available to watch now, from an unreleased 80s anthology called "Pulse Pounders", which also has a short Trancers story that is set between the first two movies. I think it's up on Full Moon's streaming service.

[@corydeceased]

👏👏👏👏 not a lot of ppl know that 1. Hats off

[@Schush]

I saw a post about Dungeon Master 2 was in the works but the effects were never completed.

[@ikecarr5989]

I actually picked this up to rent based on a review/synopsis in Jeff Rovin's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MONSTERS ! Although the VHS copy I rented started after the opening credits with Paul repairing computers.

[@actioncross257]

I just randomly bought this Blu-ray a couple years ago and ended up absolutely loving the movie. Very fun stuff.

[@martaduque210]

I came across by chance years ago and have watched it multiple times since. It never fails to entertain.

Richard Moll was also in The Sword and the Sorcerer, another Eighties staple. (That dude’s IMDB page listing is looooong.)

[@Madbandit77]

I have to watch him in "Evilspeak" with Clint Howard.

[@ProfessorHubertFarnsworth]

I literally won this movie at a bad movie raffle last week. I haven't gotten around to watching it yet but I'm glad to hear it's not as bad as it could be.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

Just about any 80's fantasy movie is harmless fun. Pretty much anything goes in these movies, in terms of story, acting, production aesthetic, and special FX.

[@coalitionofrob436]

Cecil, your movie summaries get better and better. Never stop.

Not just America, it was trippy for half the world. I guess someone wanted to pull the double whammy combo of boy band and girl band. (It didnt work.)

The cool protagonist who creates hazardous road conditions and steals ATM money, why should I root for him again?

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks for another great blast from the past video, Cecil. Yes, I was one of those guys who got tricked by the Dungeonmaster title and rented the film back in the 1980's. The premise sounded so cool too, but what a disappointment.

[@kylecurry577]

This movie is sooooo, 80s! love it.! Great decade. It looks like it had several directors...all over the place & wacky , a disjointed anthology, but I suppose it’s watchable. I remember WASP!

[@shoutingstone]

wow i totally forgot about this one! i saw it when i was about 12 in the mid 80s and remember thinking it was awesome!

Full Moon is great & I was raised on their output but Empire was the real jewel, considering what they gave to the Genre. Re-Animator alone

[@phoenixlandingstudio6594]

This was funny as hell, I loved the 80’s!

[@chainlink2459]

I understand that each director didn't have a lot to work with, but even extending each segment by as little as 2 or 3 minutes would've given them some room to breathe and helped them each to stand out. Also, I think CAL is a serious deus ex machina. Even having just one segment where she malfunctioned or Mestima stole her would've helped to ramp up the tension towards the climax. Anyway, great video as always dude!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! The minions took it away from him for the stone giant segment but he got it back before he needed it so it really changed nothing lol. The thing was, the devil wanted to best Paul with his "new magic" so if he had to taken away permanently, it would have been the devil cheating or something. (although that was what they ended up doing in the end anyway)

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

In a movie that features the devil as a character you would expect the 7 challenges to have something to do with the 7 deadly sins.

There's a lost 30 min sequel to this movie that was on a shelved Empire Pictures compilation entitled "Pulse Pounders Vol. 1". Lee Ving from the punk band FEAR was in it. The other two short films (the original "Trancers 2" and an adaptation of Lovecraft's "The Evil Clergyman" starring Jeffrey Combs) surfaced a few years ago finally, but still no word on "The Dungeonmaster Part II".
