What Happened To The Skulls?

- Elite secret societies, handsome dudes, the end of the nineties, the beginning of the 2000s, and even Shooter McGavin chasing Pacey from Dawson’s Creek across campus to the sounds of Fatboy Slim. Today, we take a deep dive into a time capsule of a movie that is as maligned as it is beloved. A film that answers the question that no one ever thought to ask...what happens when you mix a serious thriller like John Grisham’s The Firm, that was so popular in the 90’s, with the hip world of emerging teen dramas and slashers? This is just What Happened to THE SKULLS.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: What Happened To This Horror Movie?

This movie was one reason why i didn't trust fraternities during my college years.
Probably a good call!
@@JoBloHorrorOriginals Can You Do Innocent Blood (1992), One Missed Call (2003), Ringu (1998), The Last Circus (2010), I Saw The Devil (2010) And Grotesque (2010) Please.
Well you missed out on cool cars, cash and naked chick's. I guess it sucked to be you.
The fraternity that I joined was just a bunch of fun loving guys who loved college and were active in every area of college life. Unfortunately, I soon realized that others viewed not just us, but fraternities in general as bad... maybe as bad as the ones in the movie.
Outsider lookin in from australia i never got the allure of it in films joining a group of brothers who aren't ur brothers, and u dont get to choose your ride or die peeps, just seemed like a club for unlikeable higher income socially slow teens, who are far from home and scared of fitting in again after high school.
Oh man, I've always loved The Skulls!!! Holds a special place in my heart.
It's not a movie, it's a documentary.
Go aha look up the SKULL AND BONES .
Critics that did t like this movie were probably part of secret societies themselves
Probably
Re-watching this recently for the first time in 20 years, the thing that stood out most to me was the scene where Chloe shows Luke her AI-powered art machine. The questions it touched on about AI were so far ahead of its time. For instance:
In Chloe's dialogue, she questions whether she should be considered the artist for training and prompting the machine, or whether the machine the artist for producing the actual art, or is it both of them, is it neither?
I thought it was very clever dialogue for 2000, given the debates we're facing now with generative AI. But mostly it's just such a random scene to include in the context of this film's plot.
Also, the casting cross-over you mentioned with Varsity Blues is a great piece of trivia. Nice catch!
This film and Anti-Trust just preach truth.
Yes I agree completely and both are cool enjoyable movies to watch as well 😎✌️
This was one of my favorite movies when I was in middle school.
I appreciate the Creed shout-out at the very beginning of this video.
Mike from WWAM! I see you Bro!
This movie turned me into a conspiracy theorist! 😂
This movie is why I've always wanted to join a secret society. It's like life on neverending easy mode, but unfortunately I didn't hit the genetic lottery. 😂
I own The Skulls trilogy dvd boxset. Yes there was a trilogy of this lol
The others sucked so bad. I feel sorry that you own the trilogy lol
I was thinking of “There was a trilogy?” And you answered lol
I own the trilogy also but on blu ray.
The sport is officially called Crew (Yes, I rowed in college) also. Nope, never seen that rowing machine he's training on. Fun fact, rumor has it that whoever is Capt of the Yale crew is automatically tapped to join the Skull and Bones organization.
I recently went back and watched all 3 of the skulls flicks. Fun times.
I always wondered about the end when main character is walking away after talking to the senator and he calls him son. If he was the sentator's actual son. They said early in the movie that they didn't know who the main character's father was.
Funfact:
I'm part of the "fraternity" this was loosely based on.
I found out after I became an Alumni.
Still waiting on my invite to any of these cool things....but there's still time!
I have no idea why I never even heard of this. Horror movies were my obsession. This movie is too true; that may be why I didn't see it.
It's not a horror. Skulls walks that line of thrillers that cross over.
YO I LOVE THE SKULLS
I Remember The TV Spots And Trailer To The Skulls Back In '00 And I Was In My Early Teens At The Time.
This movie always felt like a fever dream! Holds a special place for sure
Ah, that secret society where nobody can ever take their watch off as it serves the very important role of covering up the skulls mark.
It's a fun flick with a beautiful soundtrack I might add.
Best way to describe this as a comfort movie, was when we would have this on, on a Sunday fall afternoon while cleaning the house.
The Guy wrote Marshalls!!!!! Love that
I didnt think this movie was that bad. It was different. I really enjoyedd the cast , as well.
I love that Hill Harper is an actual politician now…
I didn’t know Mike was part of JoBlo! I was like damn that voice is familiar lmao.
The funny thing about the movie is that it just scratches the surface of the real Skull and Bones which is a dark, harrowing story with a lot of twists and turns.
The fraternity that I joined was just a bunch of fun loving guys who were involved in every aspect of college life. However, not long after joining, I realized that others saw us in the same way as the characters in the film.
Great video Mike, I love this film as it shows what goes on with higher powers 😊👍💜🐾
Many thanks
R.I.P. Paul Walker
7:25 if you could've tied all that to Kevin Bacon... would've been impressive 😅
The Skulls are scarier fraternity than the Alpha Betas.
I loved this movie!!!
I always thought The Skulls was a product of the X-files level hangover (with conspiracy and secret societies ruling the world) and popular teen dramas of the time (like you referenced).
I love The Skulls, it’s a classic. And if you don’t like it remember it directly led to The Fast and The Furious, so take that nerds.
I've always loved this movie. it felt very Eyes Wide Shut lite, for a younger generation.
It's funny how many people don't know about this movie as well joy ride also staring Paul Walker not a bad watch either
A decent franchise, worth spending some time with. The Skulls II always seemed the most passed over, but I liked it best -- and I can swear that its ending credits used to feature a cool song called Washed Away by the group The Tender Idols, but then that got swapped out for something else, and now the only trace left that I know of Washed Away being the closing song is my own memory. Now, THAT is spooky.
Good teen thriller, RIP Paul Walker
I remember watching this movie on cable when I young teenager. I was so good
That music 🎵🎶 at 04:55, I hear that on a channel called Fascinating Horror. That's the only time i ever heard it.
I was momentarily distracted and immediately looked back at my phone when this song came on. Your comment, coincidentally, popped up at the same time.
This movie is 1 of the reasons I joined an organization… granted mine is historically black, so it’s a bit different… never knew what rowing was called “Crew” until this movie too.
The Lamda Lamda Lamda's?
I loved this movie back in the day! It spoke to a lot of realizations I was having about myself and the world around me. It’s held up pretty well.
I'll have to give this one a rewatch. Saw it when it came out and it was okay but not brilliant. It does have its moments though.
I'm pretty sure i saw this but i can't remember anything
Dis movie help p walker get sacfriced3.
Illuminati.
Red Porsche anyone.
Good job, Mike 🎉
This film gave us The Fast and The Furious. Rob Cohen read the article about Street Racing on the set of this film.
.
And started talking to Walker about making a movie out of it.
You guys should check out Lonestar state of mind with Jackson it’s very funny and underrated
Haven’t seen this movie in a long time. It ain’t perfect but it’s not boring. I’d watch it again.
Absolutely went and saw this in theaters
I will always like this movie but the real villain was his nosy hating ass friend
The Skulls is underrated!
The rowing scene wasn’t too shoddy
I recently watched the trilogy on Mill Creek Blu-ray and enjoyed each of them. I saw the original when it first hit home video back in 2000 but couldn’t remember much.
Roger Ebert gargles my balls!
The Skulls was fun; the actors were very much trying to present us with an interesting thriller. Plus, Joshua Jackson = 🤤❤❤
I love this movie
I forgot about this movie
This movie might be the reason I joined a Fraternity lol
Yikes
sooo underrated
This movie is the blueprint for fast & furious
I enjoyed this movie
Gateway movie to The Good Shepherd
Skull and Bones mockumentary
Interesting choice with the narrator of this video. Generally accustomed to toilet humour and bad gay jokes that don’t land.
Never seen it!
Touche
01:18 I always remember that part as one of the dumbest parts of the Skulls. Here we have an elite secret society that does all sorts of shit to keep their members secret…..but they brand their members with obvious marks in the most easily visible part of their body forcing them to constantly wear expensive watches to cover the brands! What happens when they take the watch off- everyone points at the wrist- SKULL! 😂
Wasn't there sequels to The Skulls?
Man, I love this movie! Bought it digitally and had the dvd.
They made some sequels at least one. That was a C rated movie it was so bad lol
Rowing is called skulling
The skulls got put in the Klopek's furnace.
Skull & bones☠️
You mesn it has Charlie Conway he's known more for that than Dawson's Creek probably 😂
Started out fine, but loses steam quickly. Simply too weird.
Hmm, it was Meh 😕😑
Paul Walker had an intimate relationship with a child.
The budget on this film was not 35 million dollars lmfao are you nuts? That was the domestic box office gross. I’m further convinced nobody knows how to read on this channel
Did you say a little bit silly? Come on, man.
George Bush jr HAD to get in there because of his father. Otherwise, there is no way 😂😂😂. He's very dense.
What ruined this movie was the scene were he’s at the police station trying to prove that the skulls exist
