Silver Linings: Total Force (1996)

[@entrophany]

This channel is the best thing the yt algorithm has brought me whole year

[@sts25186055]

It’s hard to find a silver lining when the whole film is SOLID GOLD.

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

I really enjoyed how you told us things right before the narrator did in a kind of redundant redundancy. I just realized I've been affected by the "neura-laser" as I am constantly angry with poor Robert Z'Dar.

2:08 A great performance by Taika Waititi in one of his earliest roles.

[@mormormanthenyou]

OMG you made me look!

[@Pdotta1]

I could watch these all day.

[@seanledden4397]

I HATE it when innocent strippers who build weapons of destruction in good faith get killed!

[@Sashko_Dee]

It wouldn't happen so much if they would finally unionize.

Never thought I would say that a fever dream could be filled with unintentional comedic gold.

[@ignominioussot5699]

Mate, I've been binge watching your channel from recent to past. Great! Someone that reviews B-Movies and puts the record straight. Keep up the good work! Liked and subscribed!

[@forestcitytrivia9167]

@2:27 well played, Rob.

[@atomicdancer]

The narrator's voiceover feels like a less poetic version of the one from 'The Beast of Yucca Flats.' "Joseph Javorski. Respected scientist. Now a fiend. Prowling the wastelands. A prehistoric beast in the nuclear age... Kill. Kill, just to be killing."

[@user-zp4ge3yp2o]

Flag on the moon...

[@arturslunga3415]

"A man, murdered.... A woman's purse...."

[@ChristianMcAngus]

The voiceover sounds like The Beast From Yucca Flats. "Press a button...what does it mean?"

[@Catonius]

had me at space-laser.

[@ThreadBomb]

I love that bored news reporter. It's like she was serving out her last week after being fired.

[@jonathanbailey1597]

"...and suddenly it's a Kung Fu zombie movie!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MarkHarrison-bo3kf]

Sounds like my wedding.

[@ericjourdain892]

Haa been a while since I giggled that much at auch a deadpan delivery of movie lines... Simple is best, bravo!

[@SosiskaTheHorrible]

Heavy Robert Stack vibes from the narrator. Brilliant

[@CaptainReynolds-flyinspace]

Boris is Oleg Taktarov a UFC fighter who you may remember as the big guy with machinegun from Predators.

[@jesustheres]

I looked this up on letterboxd, and there's both a Total Force and an Absolute Force that came out in '97. Most of the same actors are in both in both. Is this the same movie, or did they edit the footage in to 2 films?

[@TheBadMovieBible]

It seems to be a different movie but perhaps shot at the same time. Unfortunately I've never been able to get hold of it.

[@mrjonathanstrange]

Tubi

[@mrjonathanstrange]

Just finished it. That was possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. There were many questions left unanswered, obviously…one being How Do You Credit The Back of Someone’s Head? Another being Why Do You Need Their Frequency When You Are Literally Talking to Them? I need more info than I can find about this like budget, etc. It couldn’t have cost much. Thank you for the rec. Absolute Force coming up!

[@inactiveuser1981]

It's always amazing to see a movie that seems to be shot by a bunch of failed art students but with somewhat name actors, I mean Richard Lynch is, well was awesome in anything he did.

[@mini_skinny0296]

0:31 Sounds like a Neil Breen movie, only this guy talks faster.

[@leewright1]

That narrator is clearly channelling Barrett Caldyron from R.O.T.O.R.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I've not seen the film, but I get the impression from the clips that it's supposed to be a comedy?

[@aa11ct9]

I love this ugly edition, it's everything Battlefield Earth ugly edition wasn't.

[@batsnackattack]

"He'll be lucky to get a job teaching 5th grade biology!". Ok, well it's not so difficult and not easy either, arguably has some rewards and depending on your school system it could be a reasonably well paying stable middle-class job with decent retirement packages. Take that!

[@jorgecarloescobedomunoz6239]

1996

[@ShmuckOnWheels]

I don't think that Richard Lynch ever appeared in a "good" movie but fuck if he didn't give a good and honest performance in every movie he made, meaning no matter how shitty the film, he never phoned it in and that shows character and respect for the craft and crews of filmmaking.

[@dilil345]

The narrator sounds like Resident Evil 1 (the game).

[@kaiokendo]

2:20 HOW to Greenlight waititi movies

[@AmityvilleFan]

Programmable Virtual Reality. The corrupt version.Reprogrammed DNA.

[@benugdsen75]

HOW did they get Timothy Bottoms for this movie? 😮😂

[@drdarkeny]

Why does TOTAL FORCE look like HEAT VISION AND JACK - only taking itself way too seriously...? 🤔

[@mrobert2707]

i truly feel for the innocent strippers who built the neurolater in good faith i watched this movie after seeing this review and would recommend doing so. it’s a winner in my book

[@JoseBronxRican]

So many characters had these meat-substitute faces; whazzup with that?

[@favoritemustard3542]

Well, you payed me to be the narrator... ....I'm gonna narrate, dammit! Straight man riff w/o his funny buddies lol

[@minaverry]

This movie's photography is on par with those drug cartel's beheading videos that appear on the internet from time to time.

[@t0xcn253]

Wow, that's quite the insult to those beheading movies.

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

Fun fact: Richard Lynch got his characteristic scarred face when he set himself on fire during a drug trip.

[@ThisIsTheRoad]

That sounds... fun?!?

[@MarkHarrison-bo3kf]

Happens to the best of us.

[@zetetick395]

I wonder if he was hanging out with Rich Pryor? :S That's _gotta_ be a 70s free-basing accident! @_@

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

That was the story he came up with to cover for the embarrassment of getting burned while trying to drink a pot of chocolate fondue.

[@ethzero]

*Total Farce.
