4:08 I am almost embarrassed to say that I was on the edge of my seat as I watched your Dad perform that experiment. It was surely more excitement than the movie itself would provide me. And his reaction and delivery were perfect, resulting in a big laugh from me each time I watched and rewatched it. Great review and very kind of your Dad to participate. Thanks to you all!
Ah, the 80s! Unrewound VHS tapes in bigass shiny disintegrating plastic boxes with cover artwork that had as much to do with the movies inside as their titles did.
1:32 “I like how Eric Estrada is introduced carrying _chips._ This joke may not work for an American audience.” I got the joke. Took awhile... but I got it. Hey, it takes time for things to travel across the Atlantic! 7:13 aww... no mention of Checkov’s gas can! It’s funny that you review this film now, considering Brandon Tenold did his own review a week earlier. Synchronicity?
I misheard the hero's name as, "Wrong Warrant"; which sounded a bit on the nose for a renegade cop. That's a great Dad Cameo; obviously where your comic timing comes from.
I remember seeing this at night back in the early 80's during one of those, "It's the NBC Friday Night Movie" shows that they would put on at 10 or 11 o-clock at night (Remember those? Man, I miss those.. and TV specials.). Almost every night, at around 10, or 11 the channels would all have their "Movie", and it was often a load of schlock. The ones that stand out in my mind the most were this one, and one called "Exo-Man" that was originally intended to be a pilot for an Iron Man show, but they couldn't get the rights to the Marvel Character. That one was so bad. Exo-Man could barely move or walk in that suit, so he lumbered around slower than molasses. The only way he was able to stop the villains was them being stuped, and not stepping away from him. This movie, "Light Blast" had a different title when I saw it. It was called, "Death Ray 2000" on the Friday Night, or Saturday Night Movie or whatever that I watched.
Way back in the days when all telephones were electro-mechanical, a movie came out where a mad scientist came up with a machine that could overload the speaker in any phone's earpiece in a way that would kill the person taking the call. Kind of a stupid premise for a movie, but so, so much better than the one in this flaming turkey.
Not only do LCDs make poor explosive devices, they aren't used for large digital clocks like the one at 0:35, so their "exploding clocks" idea is even more nonsensical than you think.
It feels like I should know this directing style. Checking IMDB: It's from the director of films like Warriors of the Wastelands, Escape from the Bronx, the Last Shark... No, I mean films that are like Mad Max, Escape From New York and Jaws. Cheesy and dumb Italian knock offs starring C rated American actors... Which I think is above Estrada's level because he's either the joke or he's in on being the joke.
Terrible plots - IIRC the villain's goal in The Humanoid was to put people in a machine that made them stupid.. for 24 hours. And the machine took a good while to work.
your dad just continuing with his experiment then simply answering your question is his best response yet: almost as if it’s him trying to figure out how to respond without laughing at the absurdity of the “science”
Yes, but that was a cartoon on Cartoon Network back in the day, or Adultswim because the cartoons had bad words, and adult situations not suitable for children. It was also one of my favorite cartoons.
You want implausible plans by a villain then check out 1980s Death Ray 2000. A review of this movie would be cool too, I'm not patreon supporter but I did buy 3 of your books.
I really feel like the doctor probably should have made the choice to wear a normal analog watch all things considered. Also, I was alive for the 1970s at least half of it and it's amazing that any of us lived considering how unbelievably flammable cars were back then.
The review was better than the movie. More cameos from the Scientific Advisor! Although I was kind-of hoping for a small fire at least from the contraption on the table...
I just called To say...... I love this channel. As well as Christopher Lee. And Hammer films. And Kung Fu movies. And giant Japanese Monsters. And Dracula...... And Eric Estrada .... And Frankenstein... And ........schieze I don't even know anymore..... Hope all is well and stay safe! Remember.......everyone here loves you. When you get back, you will have some early Birthday present awaiting yourself. I, on the other hand, will have the exact same
The 80's strike again. Another straight to video release that went to the dollar bin sixteen minutes after arriving at the store. Video killed the drive-in , but we were not better off. This movie would have been the third feature and the only ones left to see it were the poor saps who thought they were going to show a porn flick and didn't have enough booze left to help this movie to make sense. Once again I'm suggesting a couple of movies for you guys. TEENAGERS BATTLE THE THING, BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE ( the back story is even more interesting than the movie itself) and for Robin, WAXWORK ( this movie was made for him).
@@robertodell9193 They retitled it CURSE OF BIGFOOT in the early 70's and tacked on some new footage at the beginning. A bigfoot craze had hit in the early 70's so they tried to take advantage of that.
I saw this at B Movie Bingo. I'd say it's worth it for the chicken gun, but then you have to watch the rest of the movie. I remember having fun with it, but they serve beer at that theater.
Italian American co production look this is bad but he did make the Inglorious Bastards back in 77 and is not a bad film. Not good but not bad, and slew of Mad Max knock offs.. Ahhhh you got to love Italian schlock movies. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine
Top two things that are criminally underrated:
1.) This channel.
2.) Robin's dad.
The cameos of your dad really brighten the whole proceedings!
He always seems so disappointed, and wondering at what is really fun/sad.
That was awesome!
I adore those cameos. Too great!
I'd watch entire videos of just the science advisor/Da. Perhaps those could peppered in (sparingly)?
Robin's dad is a better actor than Erik Estrada.
Your father is a man of few words. Respect, sir.
4:08 I am almost embarrassed to say that I was on the edge of my seat as I watched your Dad perform that experiment. It was surely more excitement than the movie itself would provide me. And his reaction and delivery were perfect, resulting in a big laugh from me each time I watched and rewatched it. Great review and very kind of your Dad to participate. Thanks to you all!
That moment with your dad and his one-word response was priceless. Loved it!
Don't ever piss off Eric Estrada. He will track you down and turn you into a grease spot. Then he'll use that grease to style his hair.
LOLLLLL
Ah, the 80s! Unrewound VHS tapes in bigass shiny disintegrating plastic boxes with cover artwork that had as much to do with the movies inside as their titles did.
As his wife lays dead, Warren cries, "And I never knew her name!"
Love the way you consulted your Dad!
Hey now, I almost laughed at the "Chip's" reference ;)
I definitely smirked for a moment.
When you made that remark about a character having no name, I was reminded of the fears of Guy Fleegman in "Galaxy Quest".
Otherwise known as “Crewman #6” (a reference to *The Prisoner)*
1:32 “I like how Eric Estrada is introduced carrying _chips._ This joke may not work for an American audience.”
I got the joke. Took awhile... but I got it.
Hey, it takes time for things to travel across the Atlantic!
7:13 aww... no mention of Checkov’s gas can!

Love it when you have your Dad on. He’s brilliant!
I misheard the hero's name as, "Wrong Warrant"; which sounded a bit on the nose for a renegade cop.
That's a great Dad Cameo; obviously where your comic timing comes from.
"Ron Warren" is a name that seems purposely designed to be misheard and mispronounced.
And now the close up image of Eric Estrada's package in a pair of budgie smugglers is burned into m mind forever.
hahaha budgie smugglers,im using that.....brilliant
When the nurse was attacking him it seems as though his super tight jeans protected him from those groin kicks. Lol
About time you brought your father back. He is a cool cat.
Love your dad , please cherish him .
When he seen his wife dead, I was hoping that he would scream Mandoza.
So they found some fx people who knew how to do the "Raiders" face-melt effect and then made a movie around that.
That dune buggy racing against traffic has serious Grand Theft Auto vibes . . .
It says "ARCIERO" on the side of the buggy, quite famous family of off-road racers.
I realized after a minute that I'd seen this flick. I also realized that I was always get a chuckle out of your scientific advisor.
Robin's dad is so cool he even takes his time in an edited clip
2:20 His name was Officer Redshirt, Robin.
Oh the 1980s and exploding cars.

"Death Ray 2000" is an excellent title; promising so much more than this movie appears to deliver.
@@euansmith3699 Guessing someone decided that title was a bit too close to “Death Race 2000” and didn’t want to provoke the wrath of Roger Corman 😄
Death Ray 2000 went to series as A Man Called Sloane. ruclips.net/video/B8PFvf7wC70/видео.html
Yayy!!! Robin's dad rocks! He needs more cameos!
A better name for the movie would've been clock blast!
That melting effect is awesome! Too bad the rest of the film can't measure up
I just like how Eric Estrada just pops in front of the cameraman filming the explosion. Great stuff

Kind of a stupid premise for a movie, but so, so much better than the one in this flaming turkey.
Was that *Telethon* with Charles Bronson?
@@TheRealNormanBates No, I just looked it up and it's Murder by Phone (1982).
All those classic cars, dying for this...pile. At least seeing your dad again put a grin on my face!
Hurray! Your dad's in this one! Like a bit of scientific back up in the reviews! Lol! 🤣
Hey! You didn't say what was in the safe deposit box! HMPH! Now I'll live the rest of my life not knowing this great mystery.
I thought you reviewed horror movies, not horrible movies!
I'll see myself out.
Aged like carrion.
Not only do LCDs make poor explosive devices, they aren't used for large digital clocks like the one at 0:35, so their "exploding clocks" idea is even more nonsensical than you think.
I watched that movie on TV when I was a kid. The only thing I remember was the laser gun exploding clocks and the people melting.
Yea dad showed up today!!!
A 70's movie made in the 80's through a 20's lens. I love it!
God I love a musical interlude...
Please review 'The Navigator a Medieval Odyssey' Its a NZ film and absolutely engrossing
I love the science dad showing up. Keep that up man it's gold
no real clocks were harmed during the making of this movie🤣🤣🤣
It feels like I should know this directing style. Checking IMDB: It's from the director of films like Warriors of the Wastelands, Escape from the Bronx, the Last Shark...

0:10 man, Ned Flanders can sound kinda creepy.
Terrible plots - IIRC the villain's goal in The Humanoid was to put people in a machine that made them stupid.. for 24 hours. And the machine took a good while to work.
I love Professor Dad's "Noooo"!
The best thing about this movie was the melting face effect. Well, that, and Erik Estrada getting kicked in the nuts, several times
your dad just continuing with his experiment then simply answering your question is his best response yet: almost as if it’s him trying to figure out how to respond without laughing at the absurdity of the “science”
Wasn’t Eric Estrada in that tv show, Sealab 2021?
Yes, but that was a cartoon on Cartoon Network back in the day, or Adultswim because the cartoons had bad words, and adult situations not suitable for children.
It was also one of my favorite cartoons.
Lol, yes! He was Marco, i forgot about that! 😆
I love your dad's comic timing.
Thumbs up, for your dad.
The sorrow of it all is that the actors lack any feelings for their roles. Imagine how Lugosi and Karloff might have handled a film like this one 😳
Definitely would have classed up the genre.
And when we see Erik Estrada again he's hanging out with Cool Cat. Him and Vanessa Fox. Oh boy 🤦🏿♂️
@gerard dearie Yes but I wouldn't want to hang out with Cool Cat.
I thought the hostage takers demands were going to be: Our agents head on a plate for convincing us to be in this awful movie...
The patron who recommended this must be a sadist.
If anyone ever recommends Mardi Gras Massacre...
"Carrying chips" - Oh wow, I only now understood the joke.
I'm 52, so I got the Chips joke... and was hoping to see the blonde guy make a cameo.
The blonde guy has too much good taste to do that.
dude your dads a legend... oh yeh and your ok too?!
Wow, I thought the episode of C.Hi.Ps, when he sang Kool and the Gang's Celebration was the cringiest thing Erik Estrada ever did.
Watching Ponch repeatedly take roshambo crotch kicks has brightened up my morning.
7:19 - Godallfuckingmighty...I felt THAT just sitting at my computer. And to think Hooper (1978) made being a stunt performer seem like fun!
I may watch this movie just for the car chase scenes alone.
Best Science Advisor Ever
Movie concept: Include everything a 10 year old boy thinks looks cool.
Eric blocked that news camera with his illustrious perm. Now no one will be able to watch on tv what the fuss was about.
The chase music sounds like " Get Ready" by The Temptations keeps trying to start.
Some of the fx were way better than you’d expect, like the fx team only did this flick for a working demo reel. Great bullet hits.
I remember randomly catching this movie on TV one afternoon - it physically gave me a headache it was so bad lol
I like how the clocks aren't even liquid crystal types..
The melting wax budget for this film must have been in the tens of dollars!
This was made AFTER CHiPs. WTF Eric?!
Let's see, we need a good title about a light ray weapon that shoots like a laser and blasts things, but "Laser Blast" is already taken.
I don't know Eric Estrada. My immediate reaction was, "Eli from Stargate?!?"
Another one 👍.. looking forward to the next 😉
The CHIPs joke was solid.
You want implausible plans by a villain then check out 1980s Death Ray 2000. A review of this movie would be cool too, I'm not patreon supporter but I did buy 3 of your books.
That might be enough
'Light Blast'! It's less intense than 'Laser Blast'!
I really feel like the doctor probably should have made the choice to wear a normal analog watch all things considered.
Also, I was alive for the 1970s at least half of it and it's amazing that any of us lived considering how unbelievably flammable cars were back then.
Was this movie filmed on sandpaper with audio recording from a can with a string?
5:25 there we are ! Hence the music at 3:39
Larry Wilcox: Bahahahahahahahahha
Erik Estrada: Fine. I'll just learn Spanish and become a big telenovela star in Mexico.
Say what you want, but Erik managed pretty well from TWO huge kicks to the nuts. Most men would be crying in the foetal position at that point...
Your old man is a cool geezer .
If there are worse ones than this, then just damnit. Great review and a visit from the Noble Prize winning father. Win win.
Great work as always.... and your dad rules :D
0:23 = the interior of the cargo car reminds me of a bit from Twin Peaks....you probably know exactly which one.
Good casting in this.
Discount Bullit. Love your dad!
The review was better than the movie. More cameos from the Scientific Advisor! Although I was kind-of hoping for a small fire at least from the contraption on the table...
Wasn’t there a Pierce Brosnan movie along these lines with exploding water? I seem to remember you drink the water and explode. Will check IMDb 😂

To say......
I love this channel.
As well as Christopher Lee.
And Hammer films.
And Kung Fu movies.
And giant Japanese Monsters.
And Dracula......
And Eric Estrada ....
And Frankenstein...
And ........schieze
I don't even know anymore.....
Hope all is well and stay safe! Remember.......everyone here loves you. When you get back, you will have some early Birthday present awaiting yourself. I, on the other hand, will have the exact same
Have you scene the episode of the 1970s tv show "Kolchak; The Night Stalker," were Eric Estrada plays one of the victims of an Aztec Mummy cult.

Teenagers Battle the Thing a.k.a. CURSE OF BIGFOOT!!!
@@robertodell9193 They retitled it CURSE OF BIGFOOT in the early 70's and tacked on some new footage at the beginning. A bigfoot craze had hit in the early 70's so they tried to take advantage of that.
Honestly, Lethal Weapon hasn't aged terribly well either.
Your Dad is a Legend :)
This is a pretty grim Chips sequel.
