I may have to agree, APE really sucked and so did Queen Kong(#1 in my list of trashy films).

[@Takao0815]

thx

[@matthewweir286]

this is one of the best review channels I've seen in a long time

[@KRhetor]

There's a common thread through all of these: they were all, as Brandon said, cash-ins, crass and cynically-made attempts to make money by riding the tails of a then-hot trend as quickly possible.

[@XenretheVague]

You should do an Uwe Boll month. There's a lot to choose from there.

[@victorm152]

Hope there's a nostalgia critic crossover with one of those... also featuring spoony and linkara if it can somehow be done?

[@nicholasnicholas3306]

Uwe boll is he who shall not be named

[@jewelztreasure3930]

@@victorm152 I think that's highly unlikely due to the Channel Awesome controversies. #changethechannel

[@fatbloke143]

Yeah, I finally tracked down The Dark a while back and couldn't understand why any reviewer said it was any good at all. One thing you should have brought up was how the cops were all desperate to catch this "serial killer" but nobody ever made any mention of the laser blast damage in any of their discussions about the crime scenes.

[@redjed100]

He brought that up in his review.

[@richmcgee434]

I would so watch a movie about a landshark mugging random concert goers. But it would be better if it was an alien landshark.

[@Mario_Angel_Medina]

A walking shark that goes "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" on a Led Zeppelin concert? SIGN ME UP FOR THAT!

[@RaccoonRevolution]

See, here's the thing. Having a low budget is no excuse for not having space battles, since those were arguably the cheapest effect in the original Star Wars.

[@willhuey4462]

but they were still so much fun to watch like the trench run in the climax of a new hope.

[@samgreen3420]

Ok good good. No need to go crazy

[@adiraiju9336]

You KNOW the list is gonna be a cinematic masochist's wet dream when "Gamera: Super Monster" is only number 10!

[@ethanwebster2501]

Man these movies were terrible... You still do an amazing job reviewing them Brandon!

[@ninjabreadman8166]

FUN FACT: Queen Kong is considered a cult classic in Japan, and has been given a mockdub of sorts.

GAMERAAAAAA

[@alfonsotorres6432]

Gamera. Gamera. Gamera is really neat! Gamera is filled with meat! We’ve been eating Gamera! Shell ! Teeth ! Flames ! Claws! Breath! Scales! Fun! Dr. Forrester is kinda of a jerk, And Frank is really dumb, too We have to take parts in these lame experiments But do we complain ! No! No! Yes! So we hi-Keeba all over the place And talk of a thousand days of fun Gamera is really sweet! He is filled with turtle meat! Now we have commercial sign!

[@homiedodobird2725]

The Dishonored Coward lay off the giant turtle why don’t ya!

[@turbopokey]

I want to say that I think why we like shows like these is (given that the storyteller is good, which Brandon is) they tap into the effect of listening to a story about something (a movie or a drunken night out) can be far more entertaining than witnessing the actual event itself. Ever listened to a friend tell about a party and it sounded awesome and hilarious but you go to the next party and its stupid and boring? Its like that.

[@varanid9]

HEY!! I loved "Meet the Spartans"! I love putting it on whenever I want to annoy guests. That movie drives me niece crazy, and I love to watch her reactions to it.

[@anomalotheriataurus8806]

I Watched It With My Dad for pretty much the same reason!

[@JTunns]

I fucking ADORE Night of the Demon! I would personally love to see you review it!

[@Godzillafan-tv1ks]

Wow Gamera Super Monster is only #10? There is no way anything could be worse. 38:00 minutes later. I was very wrong.

[@WillieManga]

After War of the Robots, I can't wait for the next list.

[@toyohimeyeswatatsuki6917]

WillieManga now "Things" came along and I wonder did it gonna beat these two?

[@WillieManga]

@@toyohimeyeswatatsuki6917 To be fair, he called it an endurance test; if you watch "Things" all the way though, you sat through the worst.

[@vf1skull1]

you should do Rock and Rule. it's an 80's animated film made in Canada with anthropomorphic rats trying to stop an evil Mick Jagger knock off rat from raising a demon from hell at a heavy metal concert. I can't make this s*** up lol. it also has music by Cheap Trick Debbie Harry from Blondie Earth Wind & Fire Lou Reed and a few others. I think it's right up your alley since its an animated movie that actually doesn't suck ass futures some pretty Kick-Ass rock music and I feel is the definition of a good cult animated film. there are two different versions of the film where they completely re dubbed the main protagonist character Omar's voice which also makes it very interesting. even if you don't do a review on it if you've never heard of it at the very least check it out I promise you won't be disappointed.

[@Frankenstein077]

Good old Nelvana... Love that movie, and I'm old enough to remember when the CBC version aired on television. The "redub" was for the U.S. theatrical release.

[@SodaPopBarbecue]

Diamanda Hagan did it, but I'd like it and Cool World(with a LOT less sketches, I'm looking at you Nostalgia Critic)!

[@briancollins1296]

Christ, I thought that was me for a second. "Did I post a comment I forgot about?"

[@BahstX]

It's a GREAT movie.

[@sardonicusrex6820]

Thanks for reminding me. I haven't thought of that one in decades.

[@brianfuller5868]

I am a Gamera fan and this one sucked. It really showed the lack of effort. The Dark should have been better. Savior of the Earth was a complete mess as was Mystery on Monster Island. A*P*E is another simply awful flick with WTF visuals that had no reason to exist. The Shape of Things to Come is another awfully bad movie in which something happens but who cares. The Story of Chinese Gods is seriously confused with lousy voice acting. You were right that Bigfoot tried to be a G rated exploitation flick but didn't work. Yeah, I knew that Queen Kong would be here. Starcrash 2 deserves this dubious honor

[@diobrando5896]

From what I remember that gamera movie The studio was closing in on bankruptcy. Play me Adam make a lot of money in the box office can afford to spend a lot

[@mauricedavis8261]

Add crap to crap and market it!!!😱

[@Jolar70]

I just realized you got to 100 with no Al Adamson movies! Please consider reviewing 1971's classic drive-in gift, "Dracula vs. Frankenstein", starring 45 year old hippies, a bloated Lon Chaney Jr. who makes Richard Boone look sober, and an acting cameo by the publisher of Famous Monsters of Filmland, Forrest J. Ackerman! Also, Dracula has a 'fro, speaks with an echo pedal, and has a ring that shoots LIGHTNING! Bram Stoker missed SO many opportunities!

So can you do a review of The Return of Godzilla (1984) Frankenstein conquers the world (1965) From beyond (1986) The Outing (a.k.a the lamp) (1987) or Planet of Dinosaurs (1978)?

[@DWrathborne]

I'll add a vote for Night of the Demon. I'll also toss out Eliminators (1986) as a suggestion for the future.

I think he ought to do a top 20 when he reaches 200 episodes! ;)

[@yadayada9581]

I really hope you get to two hundred. Your one of my favorite reviewers on youtube.

[@oliverjunge8671]

I saw Mystery On Monster Island as a kid and yes, i did feel cheated and even back then i thought the twist doesn't make any sense.

[@redjed100]

No, it makes sense. But it makes much of the rest of the movie feel utterly pointless.

[@TsukiCondor]

I would love a review of "Who Killed Captain Alex" its a weird Ugandan movie made on a budget of 200 dollers en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Killed_Captain_Alex%3F

[@SciFiFan2012]

Tsuki Condor IHE did Captain Alex, if you're interested. I would like Brandon to review it too though!

[@TsukiCondor]

I know Alex did but I will love Brandons own 2 cents

[@smuglytherat]

Tsuki Condor it'd kick ass if he did

[@nicolemedina652]

I can see why you slowly turn into the hulk at the beginning of each movie on the countdown,So much patience to watch so much S***! No wonder you only take patreon requests.What's funny is that when you review the movies you make them seem so entertaining.Great video:)

[@VideoCop]

Star Crash 2 as number 1 eh? I need to see that still, but I recently bought the first one, freaking love that movie!

[@Frankenstein077]

Star Crash is awesome. As for Escape from Galaxy Three (I'm _never_ calling it Star Crash), trust me, skip it. Not worth the time and energy tracking it down.

[@noahhultgren1710]

fun fact, the later (awesome) gamera movies where directed by the guy who did "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah, giant monsters all out attack."

[@MUIZILLASAURUS_REX]

not fun fucker

[@NikkiLeeSimmons]

I hope you make it to 200.

[@Nchubbz]

Night of the Demon? YES PLEASE!

[@smuglytherat]

James Davies abominable is good too

[@Nchubbz]

Abominable is a great monster flick, it has that sort of 70's B-movie eco-horror vibe.

[@ScreamingScallop]

It's not exactly a competent film, but the kills are insane and that finale is all kinds of horrifying.

[@philipmonihan8222]

Just lay off the other Night of the Demon. Or if you prefer, Curse of the Demon with Dana Andrews. Although, the title demon does have those sausage-ie fingers...

[@Nchubbz]

I've had nightmares of the ending before! However cheesy the effects, the weird slow mo dreamy kills make it ultra skin crawling.

[@ersturdevant2831]

100 episodes...4 years ago! How old is this channel? Great review...great channel. A fave.

[@DrMatrix1231]

He's basically the Canadian nostalgia critic, or the Canadian cinema snob

[@victorm152]

He’s both

[@monsieurdubitatif8567]

please... the snob is so boring.

[@Predator20357]

Eh, I feel like he’s a Canadian Cinema Snob as he feels more laidback

[@delilithkerk1130]

I guess that making (cheap bad) bad movies is a easy way to launder maffia money......... that would explain it maybe.

[@victorm152]

I agree. I never followed or watched Gamera movies. I've always been a Godzilla fan instead....I've even seen a few Mothra films as well....but yeah, Godzilla is more my jam.

[@victorm152]

A good film I definitely want to see you tackle is Valley of the Gwangi. That one's very entertaining.

A review of 1982's The Beast Within, would be entertaining.

[@gallendugall8913]

AGAIN! Congrats on 100 episodes.

[@VulpesHilarianus]

Brandon, if you want an easy target you should review a movie from 1986 called Breeders. Weird as hell, filled with bad acting and stereotypes, lots of pointless nudity and gore, and was made by Tim Kincaid. In other words, right up your alley.

[@filometor9936]

Tim Kincaid´s non-pornographical films are insane. Have you seen Robot Holocaust or The Occultist? Neither an LSD trip may overcome all the shitty madness inscribed in both films. So, great suggestion. I´d add some of Gdfrey Ho as RoboVampire

[@VulpesHilarianus]

Ah, what things I would do to get a Kincaid Month. Four movie reviews, a new one every week. Starting with Mutant Hunt, moving into Breeders, and finishing off with Robot Holocaust and The Occultist. And possibly a special about how he got into directing horror movies after being known for hardcore gay porn. And then going back to it.

[@Thoran666]

The best and most frequent part of the video "ARRRRRGGGH" Keep it up!

[@Badasspredator]

I recommen review the Heisei Gamera, it's like going from Adams West Batman to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight

[@Arkhigoul]

Great channel man, been digging the deep dive into shitty movies lmao. Subscribed, keep up the good work :)

[@JeffKing310]

Keep them coming Brandon!

[@rickmars4]

love your channel , but it might be better to include more scenes of these movies if you are willing to make an updated list in the future

[@nooneofimportance2110]

Here's a question for you Brandon, what are the most surprising movies you've reviewed.

[@professormultipurpose5244]

I haven't made it past the intro as I'm typing this I'm preparing for Gamera Super Monster Edit: Wow... as soon as I finish typing

[@7thmandalorian584]

Hey, just wondering. since you did the first heisei Godzilla film, are you going to do the rest?

[@Gojirawars03]

7th Mandalorian Welp, he’s done Godzilla vs Biollante, so I assume he’s about to do the films after, too.

[@courtneywoodbury5198]

I really do like the 'queenie for my weenie' line. But like I said when you reviewed it, I like it in a 'written by a five-year-old' sort of way. It still has NO business in a professionally made movie, and certainly wouldn't be enough to get me to watch the rest of it. It would make a pretty funny joke ringtone though.

[@jacksonknightproductions8697]

i sp badly hope we get to see an updated version of this lost once he surpasses 200 episodes. only 20 more to go

[@skadooshn]

I was very lucky that the first Gamera movie I saw was Guardian of the Universe. Rented it from Hollywood Video and Gyaos freaked me out!!!!
