Why not a Gaming Channel? Eliminator sounds like a Terminator Knockoff and Terminator is In Mortal Kombat 11 already for the movie, Terminator: Dark Fate
You may have been joking about the action figures, but this movie does sound like something a bunch of kids would dream up while playing with their action figures :P "I trap all of your guys in an electric force field!" "Well I'll use my robot to free them! "Fine, I'll teleport into the past to take over!"
I think that is why I love this movie so much, especially when I was a kid. I took all my toys and made similar adventures, and then this came a long. It made me feel good to know other, even OLDER people thought like this!
Only to end up cooked by Archimedes 2 and eaten by a cannibalistic post- Apocalyptic UPS carrier.... Killed (And ate,when possible) all the faction leaders, they were all dicks in one way or another
OMFG. Saw this movie when I was like 8 and all I remember is the ninja jumping through the fan. Never forgot that scene but never knew what movie it was. This feels like my brain got a piece of a puzzle.
@asian dude Fun, entertaining comic book of a movie with enjoyable characters and neat effects. Have you not seen this movie outside of Brandon's review?
OMG!! You DID it!! I can’t believe it! You’re awesome bro!! Now just open up the ability for more people to become top tier Patreon supporters so more can join!!!
12:47-13:06 had me LOL. 😁😂🤣 This review has been one of the funniest ones i have seen from this channel. These reviews always brighten my day. May God bless you, Brandon!.
Later in the same movie: "What, you think I can't drive a boat just because I'm a woman?" No, he thinks that because if you could do that, you wouldn't have asked someone else to do it for you.
@@troodon1096 Technically, she hired him as a guide. Guides just tend to drive their own vehicles. There's a "little man in a boat" joke in here somewhere, but I'll leave it to others to, uh, uncover.
@@williamblakehall5566 I like the film. It has James Woods kicking vampire ass and fantastic creature effects. But if you don't enjoy it I respect you.
@@floydlooney6837 Knights of the magical light? Hell's yes! Speaking of visionaries, what about spiral zone, air raiders, and jace and the wheeled warriors?
Wait, HOLY SHIT I SAW THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATER WHEN IT WAS NEW WITH MY DAD!!! Didn't recognize the title, but the second I saw the mobile unit, I knew. Pausing at 3:23. this movie totally has a ninja in it, doesn't it?!?
@@wallyman292 Mildly amused, maybe? My dad was a pretty reasonable, straight-forward guy. He liked action and sci-fi movies. He caught me sneaking into the house once at 3:00 am and says, "Matt, was that a woman giving you a ride home at 3:00 am?" "Yep." "You're caught. Your mom went to bed at 1:00. You're grounded for a week, you wash both our cars, and I'll tell her you came home at 1:30." :D :D :D I love my dad, more dads should be like him!
You saw this in a cinema? Was it some sort of budget cinema. I live in the UK and by the early 80s cinemas were only showing the big studio flicks. B movies had well and truly been relegated to the video stores. Which was shit, used to love catching these low rent flicks on the big screen.
8:49 Quo Vadis is also one of the greatest death metal bands to come out of Canodia. Recommended songs: "Hunter/Killer", "Legions of the Betrayed", and one of my favorite instrumentals of all time, "Dream".
I friggin’ LOVED this movie as a kid. I rented it so much from one of the video stores in my neighborhood that they just ended up giving me the tape. It wore out after too many repeated viewings, so thank god that, a few years ago, Shout Factory put this out on DVD and Blu-ray.
You're so young to know about so many old references and to enjoy talking about old movies. I'm 41 and I barely remember some of these. Good on you, sir.
Love the channel, I've binge watched nearly every review you've done! Your humour is spot on, Canadians have a very similar sense of humour to us Brits!
You absolutely nailed it. I had early childhood memories of this film, but had no idea what it was called - thought it was Mandroid, but after searching for it in the early Internet age, I figured I must have made a mistake. I saw a Reddit thread mentioning it a couple of years ago, and finally searched RUclips today. I was right about Mandroid - as that’s the character’s name. It’s crazy that Eliminators is never mentioned anywhere. Weird, but I can imagine why I’d have had fond memories of this as a 6 year old. Looks like it was targeted specifically at that age group. Nice review!
That's right ("Can't let cha take the man's bike, son...") - also, Quo Vadis does NOT mean "we kick ass". Roy Dotrice, who played Reeves, was also one of the actors who played The Master in the Doctor Who TV series.
Old School Curt Well,you are better than me :) I had a crush on the chick from "Tropical heat",and wanted to be private detective as Nick Slaughter when I grow up 😂
Apparently the Marvel boys cribbed from this movie too. They made a cyborg villain named Bonebreaker with the same silly tank treads for his lower body in 1988. XD
Saw this when I was either ten or eleven. That was the perfect time to see it. Still have fond memories of Eliminators, even though it’s beyond schlocky.
Saw this on cable many years ago. One thing you didn't touch on was that the actor who played the mandroid was Patrick Reynolds, grandson of RJ Reynolds and is a anti-smoking advocate. So much so that his family had pretty much disavowed him.
Hey Brandon. I just discovered your Channel today. I realy like your sarcastic takes on the Movies. And i learned of Movies existence i´ve never heard of before. Good Job.
So glad I found this! I grew up watching this cinematic suppository many many times. I thought I was alone. It’s amazing in the same way that navel lint is amazing.
Not only do I remember Centurions (Power Extreme), but my brother and I saw this movie opening night back when we were in grade school. If you think you were thinking WTF, the whole audience seemed equally confused (but it was weirdly entertaining)
I remember this movie back in the late 80s early 90s on cable. How the guy rolled his Knuckles across the computer board and then send him into the wrong time!😅
"John Doe the Mandroid" was referenced in the original Trancers. 1:07 The importance of graphic design. 5:00 'The Eighth Man' predates both of them by two decades. 10:39 Electric Hyperion beam laser with a Maliwan barrel (from The Pre-Sequel). 15:19 Remember those Hyperion junk bots in the Arid Nexus in Borderlands 2? 15:34 Centurions were good. M.A.S.K. was better. Sectaurs were the best. Remember Power Lords? Now those were unique! 16:36 This sounds like a job for Jack Deth! 16:46 Well, if that hadn't happened, it might have been a mission for Jack Deth.
I remember The Centurions, Brandon. I spent much of my young life in front of the TV, when I was not reading sci-fi novels or camping out. But mostly the TV.
This is my all time favorite guilty pleasure movie from my youth. I saw it on late night cable when I was like 11, cyborgs, ninjas, tits...it hit all the buttons.

After Godzilla vs. Kong, can we get Mandroid vs. Manborg?
don't forget the sequel Mandroid v.s the CyberSapiens
I want an Eliminators: Rise of the Mandroids.

Check out Unmasking The Idol and its sequel, Order of The Black Eagle. Both movies are perfect for your channel.
A cyborg, a ninja and Denise Crosby. Where the hell has this film been all my life.
You may have been joking about the action figures, but this movie does sound like something a bunch of kids would dream up while playing with their action figures :P
"I trap all of your guys in an electric force field!"
"Well I'll use my robot to free them! "Fine, I'll teleport into the past to take over!"
Exactly
That is a good comparison!
I can hear Eric Cartman as one of those kids.
I think that is why I love this movie so much, especially when I was a kid. I took all my toys and made similar adventures, and then this came a long. It made me feel good to know other, even OLDER people thought like this!
Would have to have one of the kids steal his dad's/Brother's Warhammer 40k army,
It´s obvious what he plans to do with those Roman soldiers: take Hoover Dam and gain a major foothold in the Mojave!
It's all part of his plan to rule Venus.
Hail Caesar!
Hell yea good one man

Only to end up cooked by Archimedes 2 and eaten by a cannibalistic post- Apocalyptic UPS carrier.... Killed (And ate,when possible) all the faction leaders, they were all dicks in one way or another
Fun fact: when using his mobile unit Mandroid likes to be rererred to as "Mank".
Bambu Fan When they upgraded the ram, they renamed it the “Smart Tank”, or S-Tank.
he reminded me a little of Axel from Twisted Metal 2
Kinda looked like the love child of robocop and Johnny5

OMFG. Saw this movie when I was like 8 and all I remember is the ninja jumping through the fan. Never forgot that scene but never knew what movie it was. This feels like my brain got a piece of a puzzle.
I love how they defeat the villain in this movie by just messing with the computer, it's like something out of the original fallout games.
Featuring Denise Crosby in a solo wet T-shirt contest.
Strangely she only came in second place.
I was SO into her on Star Trek... it’s great to see she did so many nudes scenes

Always preferred Beverley Crusher, classy and sexy.....so classy that i can't find so much as a bikini pic of her, closest is her in a workout leotard

C'mon. You knew it got a new paintjob, a full makeover and became BB8? :P
@@sigmacademy that was after it was melted down, painted yellow and made into BB from Deadly Friend
@@TemmiePlays I stand corrected! Well played! XD
That robot actually looks like a knockoff of B.O.B. from the blackhole.

I at first assumed it was a reference to the Roman soldiers...

@asian dude Didn't think so.
One of my favorites in the 80's
This is seriously one of your best videos dude, I’ve been a fan of this flick for so long. I had to share this with everyone. Thank you.
It is great fun
The only thing this movie was missing was an explosives expert and a stereotypical native American character
they could have had a gay native american explosives expert....in the sequel
@@Kornknealious who is the first to die

“I’ll have my revenge and Deathstalker 2”. Come on the world needs this review lol
We love Full Moon Features, and we love the cult flick Trancers in 1985.
I remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was the live action version of Mega-Man
There's is a really good(imo) fanmade live action MegaMan
I remember seeing ads for this film as a kid, getting excited for it, renting it from the video store, and being epically disappointed.
"I need a man who can take me up the river. And also drive the boat".
Later in the same movie: "What, you think I can't drive a boat just because I'm a woman?" No, he thinks that because if you could do that, you wouldn't have asked someone else to do it for you.
Can woman drive boats? I don’t understand. Should they? Why?
@@rexremedy1733 What about cars?
@@troodon1096 Technically, she hired him as a guide. Guides just tend to drive their own vehicles.
There's a "little man in a boat" joke in here somewhere, but I'll leave it to others to, uh, uncover.
Always wanted to see someone review this!
I'm content to know it ACTUALLY EXISTS
Shitcase Cinema
Brandon you should also try reviewing John Carpenter's Vampires.
hell yah!
the first several minutes of Vampires is badass -- after that it kind of loses me
@@williamblakehall5566 I like the film. It has James Woods kicking vampire ass and fantastic creature effects. But if you don't enjoy it I respect you.
It's pretty darn good. Much better than Village Of The Damned or Ghosts Of Mars.
@@jamstonjulian6947 I also liked Village of the Damned. But I didn't like Ghosts of Mars that much. Its still above those two.
I remember Centurions.
"partly metal, partly real ..."
Wait ... That was Silverhawks.
anyone recall Visionaries?
@CHIGGS 58TH 22 minutes, but they were better than the shit now.
@CHIGGS 58TH a lot of them!
“Man and machine! Power extreme!”
@@floydlooney6837 Knights of the magical light?
Hell's yes!
Speaking of visionaries, what about spiral zone, air raiders, and jace and the wheeled warriors?
I’m surprised there wasn’t a “Kano from Mortal Kombat” joke
Or because this wacky movie had time travel, cyborgs, robots and cavemen that he didn't make a Doctor Who joke.
Ahhh Centurians... I remember watching that in the early 90's. Cartoon Network did a good job back then with the wide variety of obscure shows.
You definitely need to check out "The Vindicator" 1986 I actually loved both this and the Eliminators when I was a kid.
How about Megaforce?
Wait, HOLY SHIT I SAW THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATER WHEN IT WAS NEW WITH MY DAD!!! Didn't recognize the title, but the second I saw the mobile unit, I knew. Pausing at 3:23. this movie totally has a ninja in it, doesn't it?!?

Anybody remember " Muscles"? Little rubber figures, badazz looking....

Love the channel, I've binge watched nearly every review you've done! Your humour is spot on, Canadians have a very similar sense of humour to us Brits!
I loved eliminators growing up it’s amazing that it’s a true story and was filmed in front of a live studio audience just like the sit com cheers.
I still await the day when Mandroid finally teams up with Recyclops to form the greatest action duo of all time.

Dude all your references are awesome reverb centurions! Epic love your reviews of these horribly great movies
And 10/10 review for not using a luminaries joke. Great 80's toy commercial.
4:50 Very old science fiction cliche, going way back to the Thirties. The first movie treatment of the theme was probably Colossus Of New York.
