Special thanks to screenwriter David Coleman for making an appearance in this video!
That was so done funny. Brandon you are so funny fast with words. Love your videos. I like monsters on mystry island. It had imagination. Brandon your best
Hey Brandon can you review octopus
Doing anything special for when you reach that 100k sub count?
Hey Brandon you know the website archive.com
Having one of the crew and a writer to boot on your 'show' must have been a hoot. I hope a few more turn up in future episodes.
"If I don't dance soon I do believe I'm going to SEMPER DIE"
This is your best quip yet.
Since R. Lee Ermey was a Marine Drill Sergeant and Vietnam Vet, being a yelling military bad ass was pretty much in his DNA.
In the Marines it's a drill instructor, they're called drill sergeants in the Army.
@@ieatpeopleand Thanks. I'm a US Army Vet so I used that term. However the point still stands. He was a professional military NCO and bad ass.
@@patbaker399 that he was.👍
@@patbaker399 the irony is that he started out as a Military advisor for the film Full metal Jacket and somehow the director of he decided that the only way the Marine drill instructor character could be authentic would be to.cast him a actual one as there is no such thing as a retired Marine. He also had some vendetta against watermelons on his History Channel series.
He last tv role was as DR. House's abusive dad in HOUSE M.D.
Fun fact, Jon Pertwee loved saying "reverse the polarity" so the writers of Doctor Who kept on writing the line for him, thus a scifi trope was born
thats actually kinda sweet
I'm pretty sure I've heard his son, Sean, use the line in a movie as well. Maybe Event Horizon?
@@mikesanders8621 Thats the guy
@@mikesanders8621 Thats the guy
Tom Baker introduced me to The Doctor, but Pertwee ended up being my favorite shortly after PBS started showing his serials.
"Reverse the polarity of the ship's radar cloaking device."
BS level: The Doctor
Seemed more Starfleet level to me
@@randomguy2518 lol true
Is there anything that reversing the polarity cant solve? Need to avoid your enemies, just reverse your radar so they cant detect you. Need to blow up your ship, just reverse the power cells. Need to bring a dude back to life, just reverse the EKG.
@@arthas640 Now why don't come the gadgets with their polarity pre-reversed? Would save them all the expensive troubles...
@@robertmartinu8803 if they did that or just installed a polarity reversing switch then the captain wouldnt need a giant team of engineers to do stuff like that for him
I am impressed how they fit all those large rectangular rooms, into this small round yellow subshell.
And the sub looks like a toy, it's an advanced, cutting-edge bath toy :=)
All these square tiles make a circle

Rip R. Lee Ermey
Yea, I wish he was in a Godzilla movie.
He's dead?!?
That's so fucking sad you maggot!!!
@@Daemon__Sultanah A JELLY DONUT?!?!
@@Daemon__Sultanah LEMME SEE YOUR WAR FACE!!!!
10:13 that actually adds some depth to his character, he may bark orders and snap at you for not following them, but if they did the right thing he's not fully upset with someone
You know what? Having David Coleman make a guest appearance really adds some charm to a video like this. Always good to see creators come back and riff on works they had a part in. I guess it's just really down to earth and endearing.
I actually met R. Lee Ermey when I was in basic training at ft.Benning. Our platoon was at the range firing the AT-4 ( we train with fake 9mm ones first ) and he was filming “locked and loaded”. The episode was about the history of rockets. He made our drill sergeants get down and do push-ups. We got to take pictures with him too. He really loved to talk about pussy! His presence really brought out the human side in our NCO’s. It was surreal to be able to talk to the man who our big bad drill was afraid of! Anyway. My wife and I love your videos!
That commentary by Dave Coleman was really interesting. It could be a nice idea to do an entire review of a movie with somebody who worked on it, to get a different point of view.
R. Lee Eremy wasn't playing a military hardass, he is one. Legends never die, Semper Fi Gunny!
Who said that? WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?!!
WHAT TWINKLE TOED COCK SUCKER SAID THAT?!?
Yes. Simper Fi! It means military honour and stuff! I know that! Because I know stuff...
Haha, that was great and I love the appearance by David Coleman. He seems like a good guy. I've wondered what it would be like to be handed a script like this for a rewrite. I'm pretty certain I'd need about three weeks and a dozen handles of vodka to complete the task.
Funny, because that's about what I consumed during the rewrite phase on location in Spain! Plus lots of Spanish brand cigarettes, which everyone chained smoked!
"Let go of her, you Overfiend!" Dude, that wrecked me haha! Urotsukidoji reference
Yeah, good catch. It wouldn't for on RUclips, but I dare you to review THAT movie.
That was the very first anime I ever saw. Guy at a music/video store I used to go to said 'it's kind of out there, but if you liked Heavy Metal you should check it out'. Took a decade before I watched another anime.
@@somercet1 My first anime was "Dagger of Kamui" also billed as "Revenge of the Ninja Warrior". It wasn't until my early 20's that I watched Urotsukidoji...
Ohh God I had (mercifully) forgotten that series. I had a girl I went to college with proudly invited me over to watch her collection of those movies. I think it was the 4th one I watched with her. About the only thing I remember is the guy with the triple headed D struggle snuggling a girl. And then showing it from inside her.......
@@HogscraperSheesh, just the first two episodes of “Evangelion” soured me on anime, can’t imagine how that scarred you.
R. Lee Ermy was a national treasure.
He was one of the only men in hollywood who at 70 could beat the ass of any actor half his age AND yell at them until they cry.
Agree, RIP
This is one of those movies that you could describe to me and I wouldn’t remember, but as soon as I see clips of it it all comes back
I tried reversing the polarity on my microwave and it froze my burrito.
This is one of my all-time faves along with Leviathan and DeepStar Six. I like them ALL!
11:47 Double Michael Biehn quote.
This isn't The Abyss or Aliens - this is freaking Metroid!
Which is surprising nobody attempted a live action movie or show of Metroid.
@@yoda908 it was heavily based on Aliens
Goddamn Brandon. You're, as we here in the states say, the man. Your Ermey riff cracked me up. Keep up the great, highly entertaining content
"A cash in of another cash in that didn't cash in that didn't cash in."
That's alota cash
you missed the “cause they put too much cash in”
A Tenold review makes any day a special day. Thanks, man!
Spleenuses, lol.
Wow man _The Rift_ actually looks badass! The B-movie script seems enjoyable, and the creature designs were varied and original done with good practical effects. I'll have to buy myself a copy (can't believe I'd never heard of it). Also, that's really amazing you got the writer to cameo with some unexpected and unique insight!
Iv seen this film a few times. It’s the good kind of cheesy effects horror, so many different monsters, plus underwater is one of the most terrifying environments for a horror movie, especially monster movies.
I agree
Now I want to see an underwater slasher movie. I mean, they sent Jason to space
R Lee Ermy was an amazing actor, even though about 99% of his roles were military related, but hey, he did those SOOOOOO well
Was he ever in the military?
@@Emerald_Raven08 yes he was actually a US Marine Drill Instructor before becoming an actor.
He's uncomfortably convincing as a Sheriff in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake with Jessica Biel.
had this on VHS as a kid..my mum recorded it somewhere..fkin badass..still is in that cheesy way and R.Lee stole the show.
Hmm, so BioShock was inspired by the ocean SciFi craze?.
I would actually make the argument that the so-called Abyss clones like Leviathan and modern takes on the genre like Bioshock or Soma are in fact not related at all save for the fact that they all base their monster designs on the deep ocean biome.
"The Deep Sea/Ocean" has fascinated attention for a lot longer than this specific scifi fad. It's always been an area science hasn't figured out to the extent a lot of other areas are/were, so there's a lot of options for mystery and unknown giant monsters and such, especially as realistically there are a lot of creepy big things in the oceans ^^
Maybe.
In theory, yes, but in the eyes of most people not overly academically minded that means we have not explored it much at all, even if the theoretical knowledge turns out to be 100% accurate, but even so, during the time most popular stories (which most movies and especially movie tropes are based on) were generated in a time where we as a species most certainly had not explained nearly all about "the ocean and its depths" by any stretch of the imagination.
Exactly, but that is the point. Especially before people knew how fish breathed underwater let alone anything else it'd be hard to imagine anything can live down there let alone anything enormous as for example whales and large sharks, so even if we now understand how it works and mostly what is in oceans, a lot of it is too alien to easily understand, and a lot of people fear what they don't understand. As such I'm not sure what difference stating the fact we now physically and biologically know or can predict what is in the oceans makes to the origin of fears about sea creatures o.O
Cool seeing you talk with someone that worked on one of these films.
I low key *loooove* all those underwater sci-fi movies. Thanks for reminding me of them- I need to rewatch them all!
i know he's canadian, but everytime I hear Brandon say 'Soory' my canuck alarm goes off.
Soory aboot that.
@@TheBrandonTenold Nice hoose.
'Try to reverse the polarity of the cloaking field!'
Great, he's lost it. He thinks he's in Star Trek O_O
bloodrunsclear He has now entered Star Who Wars
The line is, of course, an "homage" to the original run of 'Star Trek.' I'd never even seen a Dr. Who episode back when I rewrote this script & added that line!
David Coleman was such a good sport (pretty good comedy acting too)! This video had me rolling (not from the ecstasy mixing with nitrogen bubbles in my brain, but from laughter) 😂
Thanks, CJ! I truly adore this film, because it a) paid my way with all expenses to Madrid for a few months b) gave me a chance to work with Dino, whom I idolized since childhood and c) got me on Brandon's show. Enough said!
Your drill instructor impersonation had me DYING!! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! My brain chemicals are spent! Thanks Brendon. Keep up your hard work.
This movie was pretty watchable and had some great moments.
Always nice to see Edmund Purdom and Frank Braña in another Juan Piquer Simón film. :)
I know what you mean at 11:35 Brandon and I'm glad you did, I basically grew up listening to ABBA cause of my family.
Brandon, you do not disappoint. Another great episode. Keep up the great work.
I esp. liked the cameo by David Coleman. Well done, nice touch!
The Gate, The Pit, now The Rift. Next should be The Hole maybe?
The orifice...
Don't know that one but there is The Slit with Udo Kier.
The Lift.
The Opening.
He already did the hole
9,000 away from 100,000. Keep it going, Brandon.
Bonkers. Less than a hundred when I subbed.
Cap doffed, Brandon.
Now 2k away to 100k.
100K achieved and passed like a boss
3 months and 24000 subs later
@@randomguy2518 , Heck yeah! BT is growing quicker than a cheetah. lol. You are cool. Cool fans rock. 👊 Long Live, "Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews" !!!!
Soooooooo awesome you got someone involved in the movie!
Ive been looking for this movie for decades. Never knew the title. Thank you good sir.
Suggestion: Sorceress (1982). Quote: two girls meet a man-goat: -what is that thing between its legs? -maybe somekind of weapon?
Ahem. The storage things look more like Zip disks ...a fancier version of a floppy disk..100mb vs 1.44mb...but I'm nerding out. Carry on with the GREAT review!!!
Absolutely great movie. Have seen it unhealthily many times. Oh, and opportunity to play "U 96 - Das Boot" missed at 6:16 :D
You are one of my favorite comedians/entertainers, Brandon! You slay me brotherr! & you rock. 🎸🎶 Literally.
here's to hoping Brandon will review more of those underwater sci-fi horror movies. Leviathan is legit great.
Man, I loved Ermey as an actor.
Little known fact about this movie. The Rift was created by putting the awesomeness of Ray Wise and R. Lee Ermey on the same screen. They only reason they could contain the awesomeness rift was by keeping it low budget. That is why they were never in another film together again!
Oh PLEASE tell me you're going to review Leviathan?! That's my favorite underwater horror knock-off film!
UltraGalaxyify it seems really under appreciated. It's not good by any means, but it's a really fun watch and deserves more recognition.
@@AlanGChenery It does to John Carpenter's The Thing what Deep-Star Six did to Alien, except I think it did it much better than Deep-Star Six
@@AlanGChenery plus the monster was created by Stan Winston so there's that and it's got Robocop on it!
@@dinosoid2000 And Winston from Ghost Busters, and Marv from Home Alone
I grew up watching leviathan so many times, that movie is so good! Just found out THE RIFT is basically like a part 2 to deep star six, and I’ve never seen it! Lucky me. Btw loving your YT channel. You got a new sub 👍🏾
Out of all the (underwater monster, scifi horror movies)... Leviathan is my personal favorite.
Dammit Brandon!!! You took your sweet time to upload this one, I need my Cult Movie Reviews Fix!!! XD
No, seriously great work as always!!!
What, you think it's easy to wrangle b-movie scriptwriters who worked for people who didn't speak English! Because in my case...yeah, it surprisingly was. (Thanks again Dave)
@@TheBrandonTenold Give me some good Canadian weed and a bottle of tequila, and I'll even do a cameo for 'Cthulu Mansion.' When folks complain about 'The Rift' and its writing? I say, "Wait'll you see Cthulu Mansion, pal!" ;)
I love how this movie has a lot of crazy creative monsters
omg, I just realised that you are over 100,000 thousand subscribers. As someone who has been here since 3,000 it is so cool seeing you grow like this.
Actually I think the protag's hair looks more like 'Knight Rider' era Hasselhoff.
David's impression of Dino makes him sound like Wato from star wars
omg, The Dave Coleman, I cant believe it, wow a living legend, how did you manage to land this stunt Brandon?
I'm a fan of Brandon's show and have been for years. My son suggested I contact Brandon and the rest is now history (or some kind, anyway)! ;)
Awesome!
Leviathan was pretty good and had a great cast. Don’t remember much about Deep Star Six except Miguel Ferrer in the escape pod.
I saw DSS in the theatre in 1988; it’s a ‘shallow’ underwater monster movie whereas Leviathan was deeper and The Abyss, Waaay deeper. Watch DSS it had some pretty entertaining deaths not much more.
I would have happier with Leviathan if all three of the characters had lived and it had ended with Peter Weller rubbing his arm, indicating he'd been infected. Deep Star Six was fair, except once character was revealed to be pregnant, I figured she and the father were going to live, which made the movie less suspenseful.
The balls are where skeets come from. Excellent.
Please, do Beowulf (1999) : this movie is bad but so hilarious.
Is that the Christopher Lambert one?
@@ieatpeopleand Yes it is.
@@hauntedbear8764 It forced the advancement of CGI and Motion Capture technology.
@@h.plovecat4307
Yea a awesome cgi movie. Good story too.
@@h.plovecat4307 Wrong Beowulf bruh
you know I can't help to feel like a werewolf in a submarine movie would be great
There's no moon underwater
There was an "Angel" episode about a bunch of vampires trapped in a WWII submarine, it was pretty good.
great episode, Brandon! Especially the end lol!
Brandon! do the Japanese version of House [1977].
he should also do Meatball Machine and Tokyo Gore Police
Yes please!
Yes, please!
Great episode! Something bout the pacing of this one gets me. Funny as hell!
I watched this recently. It had a good cast. Jack Scalia, Ray Wise, R. Lee Ermy, Deborah Adair et al. Love your posts.
Loved The Rift when i was a kid, i watch it once every year!
And for reasons I can't quite articulate? I suddenly love you, Solamnic31! ;)
Brandon is on FIRE! Well done!
THat was a cool review. Awesome cameo by David Coleman at the end where he talks about his experience on the film.
Loved the ending to this, Brandon.
Can I make a request here? - The Day of the Triffids was surprising good. (Not a great Title thought). Thanks.
i have a good sugestion... review Steel dawn with patrick swayze
Wow, I remember seeing this movie last year on the MGM Movie Channel! Thanks for the video!
RIP R. LEE ERMEY
The giant spider invasion is a great movoe to review.the skipper from guilligans island is the sheriff
Godzilla's revenge. You can run but you can't hide Brandon.
"Splee-nises" how proper, considering the current zeitgeist.
Thank you Mr. David Coleman
Just to say: much as I enjoyed saying "splee-nises"? Credit Brandon, who wrote my cameo!
Saw this on Comet. It's like an updated version of Atomic Submarine, which I saw on the Criterion channel.
Reversing the polarity and exploding barrels... This is a truly beautiful parallel thank you for drawing it
Never heard of this🤔 looks great😀
Those Full Metal Jacket audio clips made my day!
I'd like to see Valley of Gwangi (Not sure how it's spelled) It's a Charles H. Schneer production
Zerg Zerg so all he’s gotta do is look up a movie with a title you don’t know... ya cause that’s how Google works 🤣😂 holy fuck you’re lazy
@@jerkfudgewater147 And I bet if he said he had to Google the name, you'd probably call him an idiot for not knowing how to spell it.
The harryhausen movie?
Awesome surprise at the end!
Soooooooooooooooooo..........................
Any chance of Cronenberg's Scanners? It was a pretty decent movie (spawned a few sequels), and is one of his films that seems like time forgot....
This was quite quite enjoyably excellent, fantastic work Brandon.
Best tentacle joke ever:
"Grab it by the tentacles!"
"Ooo, and tell it to cough!"
Sealab 2021
Is that San Diego? Because those houses on that beach look vaguely Familiar to something in Oceanside where I Used To do a lot of deliveries.
Give this guy a 100k subscribers
I really can't get enough of your work
1:16 “But while ‘The Abyss’ was a PG-13 Adventure movie where the aliens were shown to be friendly....”
....I do not find that face friendly, I find it terrifying.
Well, they DO save the whole research team's asses and dazzle everyone with their physics defying superscience at the end... =p
But yeah, the water control drone face is terrifying.
Tanner Price snowflake
My favorite Juan Piquer Simón is actually THE FABULOUS JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1977). Apart from the really tacky cheap dinosaurs, I really LOVE that film, and it's my favorite movie adaptation of the Jules Verne novel!
Looks like a pretty good movie. It's even included on my Amazon Prime Video app. I don't think I'd want to pay $11.99 for the DVD.
if it’s on Amazon prime, you know it’s good
The Way David told about his meeting with Dino. Or more, the way Dino answered is such an italian way in handling and talking about things, that piss you off, when you want to get back on others:D Great! Just saw Roberto Begnini there for a Moment:D
Full metal jacket. I probably laugh right know. Hahahahaha ☺☺☺☺
Great episode! I like the cameo by Steven Coleman and his great impersonation of Big Dino. Stories from behind the scenes make the best human adventures. Oh! And don't forget to reverse the polarity from time to time.
Thanks! My name is David Coleman. Steven is my deadbeat twin who wrote 'R.O.T.O.R.' [joke!]
@@davidcoleman5302 Hi David. Is Steven a twin due to a... transporter malfunction? Sorry for the misspell by the way ^(^è^)^
Its decent, not bat shit crazy like Pieces but good.
Brandon! do the Japanese version of House [1977].
he definitely needs to do videodrome a classic b movie james woods and blondie, he he guess where she's not blonde lol
Super job, still laughing. But I can feel the love you have for mystery on monster island so I think you should do it again. You know the super please god no extended cut with no specail features ..lol
Awesome vid really awesome. Thanks Brandon
At first I thought Ray Wise`s character was sniffing glue at 4:43...
Love the completely still water at 3:31. Looks like they're truly there...
Brandon totally needs to sell a shirt where he is fighting off some Brain-gina. Or running from some Japanese tentacles.
I'd buy one that just says

They'd probably try to get te profits of those shirts too, though.
@@ainumahtar Lol, yeah you'd be walking down the street, and suddenly your shirt would just vanish without warning. Classic Toho
