one of the most horrible things put to film. Leah Remini said in her book that after she and her sister saw the film, they both took their shoes off and took off into a small wooded area and went running down a hill to her car so they could get out of there before the press asked Leah what she thought of the film. LOL
Also, Scientology had been telling it's members it was going to be some sort of Oscar winning epic on par with Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind. Can you imagine how they felt when they were sitting in a theater watching this madness?
While I do think Hubbard was a mediocre sci-fi writer, the book itself isn't all that bad. I low budget made for TV type of movie or series that followed the book might have done decently. Problem is they tried to turn it into a $70+ million major motion picture, which was never going to work.
Crazy thing is this was a 100% genuine effort by Travolta and Scientology. They really thought this was going to be something on par with the greatest epics in cinema history, like Gone With the Wind meets Star Wars. It probably never occurred to them what a horror show the film was until they watched it at the theater.
I was going to deny that comparison, but then I saw the *"DO YOU WANT LUNCH?!!"* scene and now I'm imagining Richard Horvitz saying that line as Zim. 😂😂
Nearly everyone who knows the Travoltas have said his wife Kelly was the hardcore Scientologist. John Travolta was apparently highly devoted to it a long time ago, but lost interest in it over time. With Kelly having passed away I suspect he's only a nominal Scientologist because he doesn't want the headache of leaving. There may be some blackmail given Scientology does secretly record it's "auditing" therapy sessions and presumably there is a lot of sexual stuff there which could be embarrassing if leaked to the public. It's pretty much an open secret John Travolta is bisexual but for whatever reason he's not comfortable coming out. Not sure why since nowadays his career and life would not take any hit over it.
I got to rewatch BATTLEFIELD EARTH at a sci-fi fantasy film series at a theater a couple of years ago it wasn’t a packed audience, but there were just enough people just cracking up and having a ball to make the movie a truly wonderful experience a delightful movie Travolta is a treasure
Back when this movie came out, I remember seeing numerous TV ads and being very interested in going to see it. Something inside me recognized that there was something special about it. Didn't know which way it might go but I was excited. Well, here we are twenty one years later and looks like my gut was right, it is a special film. A special kind of bad that only comes around once in a lifetime. The first time I saw it, I walked out about twenty minutes in. It was all those dutch angles. I just could not sit through the movie like that because it was making me feel disoriented. Then, I caught up with it a few months later at a dollar theatre, sat through the whole thing this time and wasn't sure how I felt but I knew it wasn't good. A year later, I decide to rent it on DVD to figure out how I really felt about it. Now, it's one of my favorites, it's just so bad it's good.
I'm only disappointed they didn't get to the part where Terl is like "We have the ultimate surveillance system--a camera that takes a single photo of you every hour or so!!!"
As miserable an experience as watching this film was, seeing these 4 guys just roasting it and laughing their asses off makes the initial pain worth it.
This is the show now. Forget everything else. The Marvel universe, the DC universe, sports, politics, forget it all. This is the show now. Battlefield Earth till the end of time.
After Turl educates Jonnie in Cyclo history Korey: and Turl is like: Fuck it, I've gone that far. That's the kind of line that is totally benign if you've never seen the movie. But if you have seen the movie, it is the funniest shit you'll ever hear.
Around two decades ago I did sit down to watch it, I saw about 30 min into it then was interrupted by something and had to stop. I actually intended to go back to it later (no, really), but I never did. It was bad, but it wasn't hard-to-watch bad. Yet over the years I just gradually lost interest in the hobby of watching awesomely terrible films--though I do enjoy and appreciate the takes on them by channels like Double Toasted (or Chris Stuckmann, or Cinematic Excrement, among others). It's one of those "they watch it so we don't have to" things.
When i was 16 years old I brought a girl to see this movie because I knew we would be the only 2 people in the theater and we sat in the back row and made out the whole time. 😅🤣😅
@@reggiewolfpac7711 Yeah, but they're usually called Dutch angles. Ebert put it best in his own review that the director of this film learned that other directors can tilt their cameras, but he never understood why they do so.
@@JohnnyZenith Lol, really? Learned something new! But no, they were just really annoyed they spent 2 hours of their lives they'd never get back on some BS, lol.
"Man Animals" takes more time to say Man Animals then a word that already exists MAMMALS!!! It just shows how stupid and unbelievable it is to accept that is spices was somehow capable of learning, understanding and using FTL. Sloths would invent FTL before this backwater Alien spices.
My theories turl only gave him that knowledge because he wanted the demise of his species because he was tired of them shitting on him. Or he was tired and bored of colonization and his colleagues that this time he wanted to have fun so he's creating a worthy adversary. Or possibly a combination of both he wants to destroy his race while having fun doing it lol.
Best part John Travoltas character didn't want to be on earth anymore he thought he was such hot ish that he was finally gonna get his promotion off the planet and his boss is like....nope stuck here for ever, later loser! He was so mad I think that's how we got the while you were still learning to SPELL YOUR NAME, line
Captain Kirk did that same thing with Khan in the original Space Seed episode of Star Trek giving him access to the ship’s schematics and ship’s library 📚 🖥
If I may make a suggestion good sirs, the dungeons and dragons movie from the 2000’s is ripe with stuff for you to do a review/roast about. Jeremy irons acting in that movie alone warrants a study in how to just say fuck it and let loose for a movie role. This man does the opposite of phoning a performance. This man makes dafoe’s green goblin from sam raimis Spider-Man 1 look more subdued by comparison. He could make nic cage say the dude needs to calm the hell down
I don't know why I thought they did a Dungeons & Dragons review already, but I know that they couldn't have because that would warrant a multi-part review of its own. Jeremy Irons was god-tier over the top acting in that one and these guys need to experience it!
Not knowing anything about the book I remember seeing the trailer for battlefield Earth in early 2000 as a kid and the clips was the part when they were flying the spaceships and gun battles with the aliens. I was thinking oh man that's going to be a rip-off from Star wars I don't want to see it . Years later when I saw it I was like huh ok did not think it was that plot setting in the beginning.🤣🤣🤣
In 4 weeks from now when Battlefield Earth is done please do "The Hot Chick" bad review, nobody else on RUclips has really dug into it over 5 mins and survived, Thanks in advance
Bad acting at it’s finest!! I’m here for the laughter. Wait what a part 3 no way. I have to watch this over the weekend have not watched it since I saw it in the cinema.
45:08 Yes laughs, larking about etc. - and amid it all your total sincerity, asking our trust in your *not* dragging things out for self-serving purpose, is beyond question.
They should review dragon nest and trust me if you dont now what it is it's so funny watch is there so many mistakes to where the characters start getting glitchy

Why is Korey apologizing for a Part 3? I'd say 3 parts for Battlefield Earth is the MINIMUM requirement!
I wouldn't mind If he let Martin talk more than 5 mins each review lol
@@Anthonycheesman33 Who knows? Maybe they'll let Martin lead the final wrap up since he (apparently) felt the need to defend it back when it came out.
take as many parts as you need! these are awesome!
In a alternative Timeline, Battlefield Earth was done with Tom Cruise and Wacky Races got a live action adaptation with Travolta as Dick Dastardly.
Now thats a remake id pay gold for.
@@ssoory6343 Either Cruise or surprisingly Isaac Hayes
Holy crap, I think I'd watch that.

Honestly, Terl is pretty much Invader Zim.
You might be on to something.Zim has an incompetent sidekick named GIR, Terl has an incompetent sidekick named Ker.

There are enough roasts of this movie on RUclips alone that you could use all of them to cut together the whole movie with non-stop commentary.
@@PJVids83 True. One of my favorites is The Nostalgia Critic's roast of it.
@@Shadowman4710 loved that one. Especially the part with spoony terl
I totally agree with you - and have done so ever since I learned to SPELL MY NAME!
Can't get over the fact that Travolta looks like a Klingon but acts like a Ferengi😂😂
@Frank Rauen For a modest fee, of course.
Klingon, Ferengi, Cardassian... honestly, they are the most uniquely generic alien races ever.
This is the show now. Forget everything else. The Marvel universe, the DC universe, sports, politics, forget it all. This is the show now. Battlefield Earth till the end of time.

In a way he won. He didn't get to go back to his planet but instead home office was annihilated.
Start of the video: 'I wonder if there's gonna be a Part 3?'
Ten minutes from the end: '...yeah, we're gonna have a Part 3 aren't we...'
Don’t forget to touch on the scene where John Travolta and co. are wondering if humans can fly!!
