Wait, wait, you're telling me that these people managed to get both Terrance Stamp AND Peter Cushing in the same movie and DIDN'T make them the main characters? Just how stupid were these film markers?
Less stupid than really cheap-you can get Peter Cushing for under two days on one or two sets, then advertise he's in your movie, which costs a lot less than Peter Cushing being in your entire movie and actually doing stuff.
Believe it or not, Brandon, this film is based on a Jules Verne novel, albeit not a very well known one. Entitled Godfrey Morgan, it tells basically the same story that this film does, with the absence of monsters (I guess they figured adding monsters would work as well as Mysterious Island). Another funny thing: in the novel, Artelett is just as annoying, often being called Tartlet xD
Good note, and thanks, but when even the Wiki on the novel describes this "film adaptation" as being done "very loosely", I think "based on" starts to lose meaning.
Great episode as always! BTW: "Spanish John Belushi" is actually Paul Naschy, Spain's answer to Lon Chaney Jr. & Christopher Lee. He starred in a whole series of groovy '70s werewolf movies featuring the character of Waldemar Daninsky (WEREWOLF VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST, etc.).
Umm Brandon, I might be wrong but I believe this is based on another novel by Jules Verne called Godfrey Morgan; A Californian Mystery. Which from what I've read on Wiki the film does sort of follow the plot; minus the monsters.
Y'know, Ardilect is pretty annoying, but I still find him more sympathetic than Jeff. Uncle Tarkin (from what I can tell) forced him to go with his nephew. Why? He's a dance instructor. He's completely out of his element, untrained and with someone that he hates and who hates him back. I'd say he has a lot to justifiably complain about and be terrified of.
he's still pretty annoying but really i see what you mean i hadn't thought about it like that. edit: thought i'd add it's a bit unrelated but women and people had a similar reaction to elvis i saw a video once basically describing it as his "big dick energy"(to be fair though the video was called something like the time elvis' crotch almost cause a riot) but some of the stuff that would happen with him did rival other huge bands like kiss and the beatles..
A man's gotta eat. Actually all the horrormovies he was in were "low-brow" , but they paid the bills. Him and Christopher Lee were a team for many years. They were both fans of and acting icons of Gothic Horror. Watch some more movies with them two, they are times you can tell they are really enjoying themselves even in some of the sillest roles.
You know, if you told me "based on a Jules Verne film, with Terrence Stamp and Peter Cushing, featuring an exotic island with a ton of monsters" as a premise, I would totally be aboard. BUT WHY IS IT THIS BAD?!
Bought this film along with "Gorilla At Large" on DVD. Safe to say, one of the worst films I own. Feel quite sorry for Peter Cushing having to appear in it. Also spotted the "Spanish Lon Chaney Jr.", Paul Naschy at the beginning.
I'm a bit late here - 5 years! - but in case anyone hasn't pointed this out elsewhere in the comments - this film IS based on a Jules Verne novel. It's called 'L'École des Robinsons’ known in English as ‘The Family of Robinsons’ and sometimes as ‘Godfrey Morgan.’ The film is actually pretty faithful to the book but it’s definitely one of Verne’s minor works and not really worth your time. And yes, Professor Artelett is annoying in the book…but not this annoying! Sadly, the ‘wacky comic foreigner’ was a standard Verne trope.
According to the commentary on the DVD of SHOCK WAVES, Peter Cushing's price was $3000.00 for a couple days work. Believe it or not, there was a time when just having his or Christopher Lee's name in a film brought people into the theater. He earned his $3000.00 for this film
I wouldn't say the Professor "screams like a little girl"...he screams like a BUNCH of little girls, at a birthday party, cranked up on sugar and caffeine, who you've just told that Queen Elsa is coming for a meet-and-greet. Like a...bunch of tiny soprano turbofans spooling up, really.
No I am sorry, if you haven't heard the piercing pitch of a bunch of girls screaming, I suggest finding a good tape of the Beatles showing up somewhere or at a concert in the 60's.
4:38 Yeah, that pretty much describes Chris Tucker's character in _The Fifth Element,_ too, and the reason I have only seen that movie once in my life despite it being pretty decent otherwise.
I actually knew of this movie from the book Revenge of the Creature Features Movie Guide by John Stanley. P.S. The professor in this movie makes Shia Labeouf from the Transformers movies look like Captain Picard from Star Trek.
I would watch Terence Stamp and Peter Cushing in anything, really. The Limey, Terence Stamp in California Noir, is EXCELLENT! I'd be very happy if most movies had a dreamlike dancing sequence, but I was a music major!
I was born in 81 and grew up with this movie, I loved it as a child, I would watch it over and over until my mom couldn’t handle it... then she ended up liking it.
I love your stuff, and am a proud subscriber. I eagerly anticipate each video, and am so happy to have this one to watch tonight. Been a tough day and I know you'll make me laugh a few times, and enjoy myself before having to turn in for the night. Thanks Brandon! Keep up the great work sir!
Wait wait wait--not only is this the third Juan Piquer Simon movie I've seen with Rick/Jeff (he's also the lead in Pieces), but the Chinese guy is, I think, the random kung fu teacher from Pieces. I wonder if they're in Slugs too.
9:40 Something very ironic about the European idea of Africans and other non whites being cannibal. I don't know if other Africans had this idea but apparently people in Congo believed Europeans were cannibals. Mind you it is quite understandable as Force Publique used to bring severed hands to Belgian authorities to prove every bullet they had spend had indeed killed a human. Locals believed Belgians actually ate the hands.
the verne novel associated with this novel is titled school for robinsos, which is something of a self-parody , considering verne's earlier desert island stories. in deed it has nothing to do with dinosaurs.
I kinda thought the Spanish Sean Connery actually looked more like the Spanish Burt Reynolds. The older Burt, but you get it. Just found your reviews, so I am subscribing. Nice job...
Danny Richard was like "I can pay you to watch this movie. I also got this poster of 80s Caroline Munroe to sweeten the deal." You get a freaking Caroline poster for watching a poor man's Dr Moreau. What do I have to do to be that awesome?
It's really a good thing the shipwrecked bunglers were inept. Guns can be made to shoot blanks, but if the 'survivors' made spears, punji pit traps, and other edged weapons and knew how to use them, there could have been some serious injury or death. Also explosions.. the pressure wave would have killed them and if not, the shrapnel would have.
The best parts of Mysterious Island, by Jules Verne, are……the parts that have nothing to do with Jules Verne. This film would be greatly improved by having a Kenny.
Ditch the goofy humor, add in monster effects by Ray Harryhausen, give Peter Cushing more to do, and this film might have turned out to be somewhat watchable. Oh, and add in Caroline Monroe.
There is another movie from this director, pretty similar: Viaje al centro de la Tierra, or Journey to the center of the Earth (I guess in english) by Jules Verne. My father was in charge of the special effects, the practical ones, mostly explosions, and I don´t know if maybe some monster. That movie is better than this one, and so fun to watch, especially if you are a kid.
This movie was like Epic: Days of the Dinosaur, I couldn't remember if was even real until I found it on a double DVD with Gorilla at Large. 19:31 Ah, a cameo from Turkish Gorosaurus/Gwangi
this might sound weird but i am glad the china man was okay. all he wanted was to go home and when i thought he died i was sad, then when i saw him i was happy he was okay, yet the twist was really a bad judgement call on Peter Cushing's character. He must really of hated his nephew to pull a stunt like this just saying. How would he have felt if his nephew died, this was a weird yet interesting movie.
I hate to be that guy but at 7:10 when the ship exploded. That's actually not far off from what would happen to a ship from that time period if the boilers ruptured. Numerous historical accounts exist of ships that had their boilers rupture and explode. Normally resulting in the ship being blown apart in the process.
Wait! Wait a minute! Hold everything! Are you telling me that there was a movie which not only had Peter Cushing and Terence Stamp but they SHARED A SCENE TOGETHER?!?!?! HOW AM I JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS NOW????!!!!!!!
12:46 - No, the uncle just wanted to get rid of the professor, and this was the best he could come up with. Also, technically it was the young man's fault after all, since he wanted to travel and make something of himself before marrying.
Hello, i want to explain something about the novels of Jules Verne wich were inspiration for this movie. In the novel "The School for Robinsons" are nephew of a rich uncle and his unpractical teacher of dance, music and etiquet on the way to the newly buyed island. The ship is supposedly sinked, nephew and teacher survive. They found some domesticated animals and tools. The island is full of inscenated danger. They rescued hired actor from (not real) danger. All of this because the rich uncle wants give lesson to his nephew, that wants adventure before wedding. The controled adventure is not going according to plan and they found themsels in real danger. In the romain is it because of uncle's rival from the auction. But all will end good. The armed band and the monkey are the only things that really are in the Verne's novel "The mysterious island". So it is pointless to describe this story more. They just used the more interesting name. This film is mix of two Verne's novels and bit of comedic and action ideas of director. If you remove the costumes of monsters, the exploding ship, the woman and the gold, it is kinda really good adaptation of Verne's work.
That poster is two artworks glued one below another. The top one is from a famous conan artist is i remember right the other is probably a nobody lol. 1:03
Brendan, I like your style. You do a better clip show than Uncle Morty's Dub Shack and you're funnier than MST3K. Good job, I'd be proud of you if you were my son.
I know that in 1971, when Peter Cushing's wife died, he buried himself in work to forget the pain, but he's better than this.
I didn't know about that. That explains some of the werid roles he choose in-between star wars and after.
it was therapy for him, he needed to keep his mind focused on other things or else he would have done the unthinkable and unalived himself
@@teddyfilli3079one role was actually very therapeutic for him and helped him accept his loss while giving him drive to just work to keep occupied
"it looks like Spanish John Belushi is running from Spanish Shawn Connery who the gets shot at by Spanish Charles Bronson" I can't breathe XD
" Charlie, ha ha ha, ......there you are!!".
" Thank you, Mr.Ma Gloo , you saved Cholly from ship !!".
Mystery on Monster Island
Case File 1: Who Killed Mothra?
Starring Godzilla Holmes and Rodan Tracy
This movie had general Zod and grand moff Tarkin. But completely wasted them.
More like Chancellor Valorum, cause Terence Stamp played him in The Phantom Menace, but I get where your comin' from.
"You can't mesmerize me! I'm British!"
Classic!
WOW....Peter Cushing's character must REALLY hate his nephew to go to such incredible lengths just to teach him a "life lesson" XD
His nephew tries to shoot people for fun, can you blame him... too much at least?
Naw, he just over complicates everything. You should see his bathroom. :)
Fair enough, I hate Jeff too. Cushing really should have had more screentime.
...well when you put it THAT way, i can't really blame him
Given Godfrey's personality, I think Cushing hates the people he's inflicting his nephew on even more.
Today I learned Brandon can be bribed with Caroline Monroe memorabilia.
Proof that he’s male.
Good information to have on hand for you know...reasons :=)
So can the rest of US.🤣🤣
Cant we all.🤘😆🤘
@@majorgear1021I'm sure it would work just fine on some women as well
Caroline Monroe posters are an accepted currency worldwide
I wish they had the Poster of her from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973).
Mighty NorCal way better than bitcoin!!!💪👍😎😎
In eastern europe its a sign if wealth

I think you own his some cash for change, that poster is worth six figures easy.
Wait, wait, you're telling me that these people managed to get both Terrance Stamp AND Peter Cushing in the same movie and DIDN'T make them the main characters? Just how stupid were these film markers?

Learn something new every day, I guess.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_Morgan#Film_adaptation
imagine it artelett is what smee could have ended up being lol. had never heard of the book though so neat to learn : ) .
Good note, and thanks, but when even the Wiki on the novel describes this "film adaptation" as being done "very loosely", I think "based on" starts to lose meaning.
Is the part about it all being a scheme meant to teach him a lesson at the end concocted by his uncle part of the original story?
Great episode as always! BTW: "Spanish John Belushi" is actually Paul Naschy, Spain's answer to Lon Chaney Jr. & Christopher Lee.

And you thought that snarf guy from godzilla vs the jumbo shrimp was annoying
Got the impression that poster of Ms. Munro was more interesting and had more plot
How about HOWLING II in memory of Christopher Lee?
Peter Cushing was a class act. How did he end up in this rubbish?!
Seems every actor back then eventually ended up in a low budget stinker. My theory is they did it to teach themselves preserverence.
How'd Christopher Lee end up in Rhe Howling Part II: Your Sister is a Werewolf
A man's gotta eat. Actually all the horrormovies he was in were "low-brow" , but they paid the bills. Him and Christopher Lee were a team for many years. They were both fans of and acting icons of Gothic Horror.
Watch some more movies with them two, they are times you can tell they are really enjoying themselves even in some of the sillest roles.
Money most likely.
He was a London based actor, these were London based productions. When you don't want to live and work in Hollywood, you take the good with the bad.
You know, if you told me "based on a Jules Verne film, with Terrence Stamp and Peter Cushing, featuring an exotic island with a ton of monsters" as a premise, I would totally be aboard.
BUT WHY IS IT THIS BAD?!
Lorenzo lamas continued to exist after the 90's? Doesn't that violate the temporal prime directive ??
If his mullet had continued to exist, then yes...
Yes, definitely ....a Caroline Munro poster seals it.

He sounds very much like a dying ripper.
The guy makes real funny characters more bad ass then just scream all the time.
No I am sorry, if you haven't heard the piercing pitch of a bunch of girls screaming, I suggest finding a good tape of the Beatles showing up somewhere or at a concert in the 60's.
@@chrisperrien7055 it concerns me that i know the exact noise you're talking about and it kind of makes me brain hurt to just mentally hear lol.
This movie was actually based upon one of Jules Verne's later works called "Godfrey Morgan".
Yeah, it'd take a Caroline Munro poster for me to watch this movie, too.
6:05 "Hey, do you have a moment do talk about our Lord and Saviour Cthulhu?"
The snarky British guy is the perfect lovechild of C3PO and Jar-Jar.
he's more like Dakota Fanning's role in the remake of War of the Worlds.
I can't be the only one who wants a mega shark movie review!
It's a ridiculous movie and is horrible
I would rather one of sharktopus
The scene where the shark eats a plane? Yup, only a few minutes. And the fight against the octopus also lasts for minutes.
4:38 Yeah, that pretty much describes Chris Tucker's character in _The Fifth Element,_ too, and the reason I have only seen that movie once in my life despite it being pretty decent otherwise.
Can u review "Dr. Who & The Daleks" and "Daleks Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D." starring Peter Cushing as Dr. Who.
I actually knew of this movie from the book Revenge of the Creature Features Movie Guide by John Stanley.
P.S. The professor in this movie makes Shia Labeouf from the Transformers movies look like Captain Picard from Star Trek.
ThePmb-Tube at least Shia Labeouf actually does stuff in those movies, even if he's a bit annoying.
The Suck Family Robinson...I lost it.
2:10 i can't believe you don't know who Paul Naschy is! Naschy, Cushing, and Stamp in a movie together!? Mind blown haha. Good review.
That Poster Though!!!!!
3:31 oh boy, Grand Moff Tarkin!!!
I would watch Terence Stamp and Peter Cushing in anything, really. The Limey, Terence Stamp in California Noir, is EXCELLENT! I'd be very happy if most movies had a dreamlike dancing sequence, but I was a music major!
One good thing about this movie: it makes for a great review by Brandon. This is the second time I watched it.
"Hear the Engines Roll Now?" Don't you mean "Idiot Control Now?"
"It stinks!"
Mystery on monster island----where's Godzilla?
I was born in 81 and grew up with this movie, I loved it as a child, I would watch it over and over until my mom couldn’t handle it... then she ended up liking it.
Before going insane and getting committed.
Say what you want on this film, but that theme song kicks ass. I wish the song itself was on RUclips.
"This is where the movie gets kinda stupid."
It wasn't before??
"If your uncle doesn't get here soon we're finished."
.......Well, fuck.
so I reckon everytime the "monsters" would attack his uncle would say "You may roar, when ready" "You may stomp, when ready"
Brandon flexes his "Oh, you're approaching me?" pose in the illustration.
Charles Bronson joke had me rolling! Lol great joke!
Hell yea! After mocking the 1st 2 guys and then he popped up i KNEW thats who he was going to say.
It would be nice if you told us the cost to make these films vs what they made as well

I can't think of any African peoples that were cannibals off the top of my head. The Azande pretended they were, but that was just to scare rivals.
The Jar Jar Binks role seems to be divided between the professor and the stowaway.
Um, I'm pretty sure the name of the song was 'Idiot Control Now'...🤔
00:14 You owe Danny for life.

Really? Huh. Didn't recognize him.
I got a question and if yes I won't be mad about it did you cancel Gamerathon?
It's really a good thing the shipwrecked bunglers were inept. Guns can be made to shoot blanks, but if the 'survivors' made spears, punji pit traps, and other edged weapons and knew how to use them, there could have been some serious injury or death. Also explosions.. the pressure wave would have killed them and if not, the shrapnel would have.

Next up do... Godzilla's Revenge!!!!

I want to see Brandon do a crossover with Cinema Snob
Liam Early how do I sent him stuff

I want to see a Brandon and BigJackFilms one

The best parts of Mysterious Island, by Jules Verne, are……the parts that have nothing to do with Jules Verne.

Hey just like those flat panel guitars where all you had to do was hit the fake strings printed on the paper guitar decal.

Never talk about "rubbing sticks together" with Spanish Anthony Wiener.
