Comment from : Brad Pope

I might have missed it The original Resident Evil film definitely belongs on here
Comment from : Criticize Everything Everywhere

No mention of Pitch Black ??

Why can I only give one thumbs up for your videos? Youtube should make an exception in your case, you have more than earned it

I suspect that Erik Estrada's exasperation at Jan-Michael Vincent reading lines from the newspaper wasn't all acting!

I feel like you would be the perfect voice actor for a wise old Bigfoot Sasquatch character
Comment from : John Jacob

Comment from : Janet Astocondor

Tiny mistake in this masterpiece: You picked the wrong "The Rift" poster at 34:11, that one is a short film from 2012 😉

Comment from : Flathead Gg244

Comment from : FootballJunkie

45:35 Let's hope that Aylum paid William Katt with Jan Michael Vincent quantities of booze Otherwise, what's the point?
Comment from : TheeGrumpy

I have never been able to watch these horrible knock-offs to their completion Though I agree that we NEED this kind of trash to better appreciate quality movies, for myself, 5minute snippets is sufficient exposure ^_^
Comment from : Tori Kazuki

Years ago I saw an Asian movie - I BELIEVE from South Korea - about a police squad on some mission I don't even remember what they were up against (Monster? Alien? Killer Robot?), but I DO remember that the movie had a bunch of scenes directly copied from Aliens Anybody got any idea what that movie might have been?`:D

4:09 I feel like there's an easy Christopher Nolan joke here
Comment from : birdoven

The final scene of DEEP RISING btruly/b sets it apart
Comment from : James Cappio

i can't believe you forgot Alien vs Ninja
Comment from : Hiro Chavez

How you have not had a mental breakdown from watching so many bad movies, is amazing
Comment from : lopaka76

All these 'bad' movies -The least I can do for your sacrifice is hit the like button and subscribe -Possibly a clever comment containing four words to mess with them algae-whatsits
Comment from : Corey Lee Slater

I could tell a million stories about working on ALIENS, after 15 months on it But I have to save some of it for our own book Yes, it sure wasn't what you might call "an EASY shoot"! ;-7
Comment from : RSEFX

Kevin Bacon? Michael Gross is the real MVP of The Tremors series
Comment from : Josep Hernández Luján

Space Marines! I had that on VHS! Where does the time go, eh
Comment from : Languid Spaceguy

The 'locust' from Independence Day's in the thumbnail, but not the video - great design by Patrick Tatopoulos, all the same (he also designed Godzilla '98)
Comment from : M S

''If there is an extra terrestrial its an alien knock off''br''If there is a dinosaur its a Jurassic Park knock off''br''if there is a killer animal its a jaws knock off''brbrYou are the worst cringe type of movie critic
Comment from : Kongzilla Toho

Ever discovered you've said something before?brbrYeah—great writeup, Rob!
Comment from : drdarkeny

I think the alien segment in Waxwork 2: Lost in Time is worth a honorable mention ;)
Comment from : UndeadAbomination

Cameron Mitchell is now consoling Edward L Cahn after he saw his name spelled “Roger Corman”
Comment from : Luigi Bastardo

I always wondered if you were german Your perfect pronunciation of Schwarzenegger convinced me you have to be ^^
Comment from : Mr Blonde

You're offering some of the best content on Youtube and this is great, as usual Still--there's always a "still," right?--your final assessment of ALIENS as an auteur work, compared to ALIEN, which you characterize as done by committee, seems utterly bizarre, as ALIENS is really just a bigger, louder, horror-tinged action remake of the original film The plot hits every beat of it The additional contributions were all from previous works Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" contributed the Marines (and, rarely acknowledged, a lot more), Walter Hill provided the Vietnam allegory, etc Cameron brought them all together, the same way Scott brought everything together in ALIEN

Bless you! You may be the first You Tuber to give Shocking Dark a fair shake
Comment from : bmitw100

I just found your video and I want to say its great work, loved itbrI winder if their is something to be said about thee knockoff movies with chest-bursters having the monster not actually burst out of the chest but from the stomach That and the fact is seems to be always womentheirs gotta be some Freudian shit going on rightbrA little side note, I always love when people mention Starship Troopers and just don't read it and throw the blanket "fascist" stamp over the whole thing Anyone whos read other Heinlein works knows he's throwing a lot at you but a bunch of bad faith takes have muddied the water That and I guess reading is too much of a time sink for most people so its easier to look up what others think Its funny cause a lot of people do with the book is what people did with the movie when it came out, only view it superficially and not pay attention to anything that requires the barest minimum of thought
Comment from : RagnorokKing

30:32 This dude was amazing in Mark Decascos cult action classic Drive
Comment from : Gaylord Focker

Dead Space: Aftermath really should have stuck with the 2D animated style much like Dead Space: Downfall They are both not good, but at least Dead Space: Downfall was passible
Comment from : MC Chase Productions

carnosaurus 2 is a legit shot for shot remake of alien with some minor changesbrbrits accually entertaining from a so bad its good way
Comment from : ravenclawtom

46:20 - I think that's actually the pipe from a CPAP machine
Comment from : Talkernate History

Great work! I also recall FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN having some ALIENS vibes
Comment from : Matthew Movie Guy

Excellent and entertaining once again I'm leavin' 👍

That's it, I'm giving you my entire Patreon budget from now on
Comment from : NorwegianTaxAuthorities

"I didn't edit this" should be this channel's catchphrase These are always a treat to watch, thanks for the effort you put into them
Comment from : Herbert West

Thanks!
Comment from : Kevin Greer

Another brilliant video for this series I love the dry humour as much as the actual editing and research!
Comment from : Pete Smith

I love the cheesiness of Deep Rising! One of my rainy day favorites
Comment from : Lauren K

Fred Olen Ray freely admits to cribbing stuff from other movies
Comment from : Paul Brown

10:07 actually quite realistic
Comment from : Maxski

Thanks Rob for another insightful/funny retrospective Your Channel, like Stitched Together and Voxis Productions, deserves more plaudits and viewers!
Comment from : Caredroia

Also love how it’s called Zombies: THE BEGINNING even though it’s a sequel to another differently titled movie
Comment from : Gorevoid

Love Bruno Mattei's movies especially Strike Commando
Comment from : The Thinking Cat aka Neo Normie

43:10 "Apparently the filmmakers wanted to remain true to the novel's tone and avoid the satire of Paul Verhoven's adaptation But that satire is largely derived from the movie's dumb excess and this thing's just as dumb and excessive I wonder why parodies and endorsements of fascism tend to look the same?"brbrCatharsis! I watched "Starship Troopers: Invasion" with friends years ago and couldn't find the words to explain the irony Or more likely they closed their ears when I started to sound too PoL!TiCaL Thank you for putting this so succinctly
Comment from : Raiden Reynards

Great video as always! I really want to see Zombie: the Beginning Where did you get it? There's a version on YT which is missing 15 minutes, sadly
Comment from : The Best of Bad Movies

32:20 Two "X-Files" villains of the week appear in rapid succession!
Comment from : Lee Sherman

I absolutely Love your work!br You're interlectual frustration that is reflected in your relaxed sarcasm is of the highest caliber brMay I suggest an "enter the dragon - knock off" for a potential future video
Comment from : Loom Moon

"See how the camera and the actor both move" bro, it's way to early for me to spit coffee out
Comment from : BreakfastAtNoon

28:54 Good old Biomechanoid of Svartos! When I was fourteen I used Legos to build a ripoff of it combined with a ripoff of the Xenomorph Queen You could open up the head to reveal an Aquazone crystal
Comment from : Lee Sherman

The only good thing about Hybrid is that clip from Star Hunter And the only good things about Star Hunter are Roddy McDowell and the Saurod suit from Masters of the Universe

If I'm a hundred percent honest committee is not the word I thought he was going to say after high functioning in reference to James Cameron

" Nothing but some meat and a net Just like Ewoks "😅
Comment from : BIATEC

Can't believe you don't have at a minimum 100-200k subs The content in itself is top shelf in my totally objective opinion But also the level of editing, the scripts, and the level of research and knowledge needed for this stuff is A+++ Keep on keeping on, and once one or two of your vids make the rounds on the interwebs, I would put money on you at least cracking 100k in under a year from kow
Comment from : Lucas Smith

Wow, that's a perfect explanation for the Dirty Dozen holy shit lol
Comment from : Mark Henderson

another great video! recently purchased Bad Movie Bible due to my love of this channel, highly recommended to fellow fans In depth info with interviews and ratings for each film, also Rob's excellent dry humor on every page keep up the great work!
Comment from : Doomover

Watching all these B Movies to put these videos togetherbrmust be like mining for gold using only a broken deer antler to dig, nice work soldier! 😎7brbr- Just don't watch them in the wrong order, or you may open up the lament configuration @_@
Comment from : Zetetick

Just thought I'd reiterate what I posted on your Total Force video as your probably more likely to see it 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!
Comment from : Ignominious Sot

I haven't seen Spectral, but it looks like a potential rip-off of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Comment from : Jack Burton

I just recently found this channel and am loving your retrospectives thus far!brbrQuestion: you by any chance wouldn't be the same person who used to be The Phantom Reviewer, would you? Your voice and delivery style (stiff upper lip in the face of any and all cinematic weirdness) are a lot like his, and the premise of Borrowing Blockbusters is pretty similar to his channel's whole schtick, which was trying to review every adaptation of Phantom of the Opera
Comment from : Aaron Mercer

Deep Rising rules!
Comment from : David Malek

Every one of these surveys adds so many movies I deeply want to see to my list!
Comment from : More About Movies

This video was a nostalgia overload as a 90's kids
Comment from : Adolf Hitler

I genuinely and unironically enjoyed Deep Rising
Comment from : Steve M

It's a bit tenuous but Mosquito turns into Aliens in the last half hour or so Quite a fun movie
Comment from : Jamston Julian

Starship Troopers movie wasn't a parody of the book There is barely a connection, beyond "space war" concept, the title and some character/location names
Comment from : WhiteMouse

43:38 why are they firing like crazy INSIDE a spaceship🤨
Comment from : mirthenary

I just re-watched aliens yesterday! What great timing! I love this channel
Comment from : Chad Wik

36:06 Dr Phil?
Comment from : Turtle152

Do you have the ratings collected together in a single place? Sometimes I want to watch a truly good-bad movie, but I have a low tolerance for boredom so I rarely risk it After watching all your videos, I think I trust your judgement and would like to watch many of the ones you rate highly
Comment from : Ja C

Great video matebrI had to put some of those cheap movies onto my movie list for entertainment purposes
Comment from : QBaT Mobile

Could you do one on ET?
Comment from : Sean Ramsdell

Welp Guess I'm watching Shocking Dark asap

This is the best Youtube channel since Red Letter Media!
Comment from : Oscar Hjelmgren

Having recently visited Bronson Caves in Griffith Park, Low Angeles, I'm amazed how many of these films feature it - and not just the obvious cave shots I'm surprised there was no-one filming there when I visited Even if it was Monday
Comment from : Steve Dix

My favorite Aliens knock offs were Split Second, Starship Troopers, and Live, Die, Repeat/Edge of Tomorrow
Comment from : Brew Man

I had no idea how influential Aliens was There is good reason why Its just that good of a movie The Special Edition is arguably the best sci-fi movie ever made
