@@Joutja123 That line's been cut from television screenings of the film now. Saw it a few weeks ago and I'm sat there like why? Like, I get it that "whoopsie" can be a derogatory term, but the whole thing was kept secret from even his crew, because it was counter to his reputation as a fierce and merciless buccaneer, thinking that if he let the mask drop in public that his career would be over and his crew would lose all respect for him. For them to outright say "Yeah, we knew, but we don't care. You're still our Captain regardless of that side of yourself you thought you'd kept secret" was the whole point of the line's inclusion. Removing it kind of lessens the impact of the scene =/
Unironically my favorite scene was the sky pirates saying they love their captain and they always knew he liked cross dressing, its just so damn sweet.
This scene was a rare example of changes to the source material only elevating the story. In the book, the Capatain isn't a cross dresser. He's not even that memorable of a character. But, to my knowledge, even fans of the book appreciated the addition❤
@@johnryan6422 Nah, it's: "We always knew you was a whoopsie." Then the others kind of shove him towards the back and out of sight. Then the first mate says: "But you're still our captain, captain!"
This movie is a blast from the past. They sometimes show it on tv and I remember having so much fun with it. The dead princes especially are an amazing part
This is quite the post when you have no context. I literally know nothing about this movie except the name. Im just sitting here, waiting thru ads, thinking about dead princes.
I love how the brothers recognize their sister and are so happy and relieved to see her, like they’re just like “Unaaaa/Sisterrr :]]]]” like yeah, that’s your sister.
@@sweetpea022 Primus is the eldest son. Una is not only the eldest but only daughter. We are not given to know which of the two was born first, but since only men can inherit it doesn't matter for the story.
@@nalurodriiguesI just had this headcanon idea occur to me: While Una knew she could never become Queen, the same way her brothers could, she didn't consider herself out of the game yet. She thought, _"Father could still live another 20 years. By then, the boys will be down to the last few. Maybe, if I have a son and send him to grow up safe in England, until he's old enough to find me, he can kill the last of my brothers and become King. If I can't be Queen, I can make do with the King's Mother. HO HO HO, DELIGHTFULLY DEVILISH, UNA."_ That might explain why Una just randomly decided to sleep with the first breathing Englishman who wandered up to her, as well as giving him the magic-repelling flower AND a Babylon Candle. Also, the idea that Una was JUST AS siked for the royal hunger games as the brothers were is really funny to me. I mean, she doesn't seem that upset at witnessing Septimus' death, nor perturbed by the implied death of all her other brothers. She only seems to care that Tristan, her son, won the throne. EDIT: Imagine if Tristan _had_ teleported to Una from the start and she said: _"Great. You're here, Tristan, my son. You don't know how long I've waited for this day._ _"You've got the magic flower that protects you from magic, right? Now you can kill my slaver and free me and we can ride her wagon straight to Stormhold Castle and you're going to kill Septimus."_ Then Tristan goes: _"Wha-? No, I wanna get laid."_ Una: _"... You really are your father's son."_
A small, but significant detail that's often missed is when the various royal ghostly brothers transform into little points of white light and ascend, Septimus turns into a point of red light and descends, presumably to Hell.
Yes BUT he still captured Yvaine and forced her to be with him even if she refuses. He also leave her alone on the tree where anyone could attack her or an animal too. This guy is not that nice 🤨
When he draws his sword on Humphrey, their costumes are reversed as to the first time we see Humphrey kick his ass. Tristan had all black clothes while Humphrey had a light overcoat with black collar. Next time we see him Humphrey is in all black very similar to Tristan in the first fight and Tristan is now rocking his final skypirate coat and big khyber-ish sword. Now Humphrey is the simp in black clothes and Tristan is the elite fighter who could whoop him in a second.
Such a great movie. Even the whole kidnapping part feels like Neil Gaiman pointing out how weird Fairy Tales are rather then a random crime the author glosses over. Literally a perfect movie.
Niel gaiman's book includes a page long sex scene, rape, and my favourite a couple of pages of very graphic dead unicorn decapitation. Kidnapping is just a mild plot point.
Loved how all his sons and her only daughter were named after numbers. Primus, Secundus, Tertius... Una is the feminine form of Uno (One) either because she was his first daughter, or his only female descendant.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but the flower he carries is a snowdrop. It was used as medicine back in the day, and in the Odyssey, when Odysseus finds himself on Circes' island, Hermes gives him a snowdrop flower to shield him from Circes' spell, i only just noticed the correlation!
Septimus' death is hands down one of my favorite scene of all times. It's so weirdly ethereal with the music swelling as he gently floats up in the air. It didn't need to go this hard but I'm glad it did.
I wrote about this movie for my french homework many years ago. And I still remember my very stern french teachers comments on it "I would like to hear more about this gay pirate". Just one of those things that pops up in my brain from time to time.
Bro, I watched this movie sooo incredibly much as a teen. Every time I complain about the lack of fantasy movies my only go to examples of good fantasy that was made after 2000 are LoTR and Stardust xD It's a freaking masterpiece
Lots of unique and obscure movies came out around and in the 2000s and 2010s; growing up around that time I have to say there was a lot of good films that were coming out, they seemed to put a lot of time and effort into making it big, because of that stuff actually came out the best it could for the time.
The movie wisely chickened out on the book's ending, which is that Ylvaine rules forever alone and unable to return to the sky while Tristan lives a finite lifespan
This movie was the peak cinema for me when I first saw it. It had everything - pacing was fast, but never too fast, it had humor while being dark sometimes, but more importantly, it ended without trying to start a franchise.
Honestly I don’t even have a single bad thought about this movie because it fully immerses you in its world. Such a fun movie, the special effects hold up to the rest of time too imo.
You forgot to mentioned one of the best choreographed fight scene on the pirate ship, with each blow synced with the score. This movie is one hell of a gem!
There is a famous saying that if you’re blue blooded, it means you’re royal so when she slit that brothers throat and his blood was blue, he really was Royal
There also a rare genetic condition that turn people skin into blue and it's happened to people who born from incestuous relationship.😅 It's make sense now.
@@mikeoakeshart3823I've never heard of incest turning people blue. A far as I know, only many years of drinking colloidal silver can turn someone blue.
Was not expecting this but this was great. Also yeah that death scene with the last prince was super cool, having him float and act submerged because his doll is in the water was awesome. Especially since they could’ve just have him act like he’s drowning without all the special effects.
I've always said it. This is such a fascinating movie that has a great plot, nice message, but at the same time doesn't take itself seriously. Underrated gem.
You are definitely not a romantic, it is really not kidnapping, and he saves her like repeatedly I really enjoyed this move, and it is sad that more like it aren't made
@@darkplasmo7921 So not being okay with him tying her up and taking her against her will at the beginning means you're not romantic? Good to know. Do you have any financial tips as well?
Truly of the best fantasy movies ever made. I am an unapologetic fan of every single frame and there was a time when I could recount all the dialogue by heart. Thanks for rekindling the memory RUclips man!
Did you notice when the seven brothers passed on six of the lights turned white and went up and then one turn red and went down.. thinking that was septimus
@@johnsteel5347 So let me get this straight youngster. You don't think that special effects existed before computer graphics. You need a film history lesson.
@@rosl6252 Pretty much. Opened up the inn at the crossroads, and just kinda stayed there, never having met Tristan or Yvaine. Just lived out the rest of her life as an innkeeper. And Yvaine was doomed to hobble around the castle for all eternity, her foot never being healed, Tristan dead from old age, and Yvaine ageless because she's a star.
4:27 the Kung Fu Old Man will never not Be funny as Hell to Me! 😂 I Absolutely love how he learned to be a Badass in 18 years after Tristan’s dad pulled that stunt!
This is probably my favourite movie ever; I've seen it more times than I can count and its a blast every time. I absolutely love the 'stars are usually asleep during the daytime' nonsense.
Love this film. It has everything what true fairy tales have to have - good story, character development, humour, magic ...and 'je ne sais quoi' I'm missing in so many film fairy tales.

Man I love this movie! Even speedwatching it like this is great. I think Claire Danes did a great job with the accent; I actually didn't realize she was American when I first watched it lol
Possibly the most whimsical creation of all humanity. If I could get a job as a sky pirate who fishes for lightning….well, I’d accept a pretty big pay cut if I had to!
I remember watching this movie when I was like 12 and never seeing it again in media, I legit thought I had dreamt up the whole story in a fever dream.
This movie is so wild and heartwarming. I love this movie. It has become my #1 favorite and is, for sure, the movie I will suggest to anyone. It hasn't had enough popularity!
Watched this movie for the first time randomly because I found a DVD of it somewhere in my house. Watched it about 20 times over the next 3-4 years and this is the first time in a long time that I even got reminded of the story. I just remember how great it made me feel. This movie just didn't take itself too seriously, and every actor played their parts impeccably.
This movie is one of my comfort films. I've seen it about 100 times and I still love it. I really enjoyed your take on Stardust, great video! Calling the characters by other names from their other movies was hilarious. "Ok whatever, you got a week, or I'm marrying Superman" was a particular favourite 😂 You just earned a new subscriber 👍 Big love from Manchester UK xXx
I just watched both your movie recaps and they gave me so much nostalgia :) If you're looking for more films that have the same wacky vibe City of Ember or Inkheart are also up there if you've ever watched them, although personally I would advocate for a recap of The Fifth Element - amazingly fun movie and so much to comment on.
This is one of the best films from my childhood... and Having Take That 'Rule The World' as the closing credit song... I ball in tears every single time.
I saw stardust in the cinema 7 times. I have watched it a minimum of 3 times a year since. It is my favorite rainy day film and I STILL go giddy and weak at the knees for Charlie Cox because this film made me fall in love with him. The moment when they're on the sky boat and yvaine starts waltzing with Tristan and the music swells as she starts glowing makes my heart soar to this day. I read the book and didn't like it as much. I was 16 when this came out and I'll be watching it till I die.
This movie will always go down in my memory as the most mid last movie I watched with my grandparents the year 1 died of cancer and the other of a heart attack. RIP grandparents, I truly wish I had spent that valuable time with you in any other way than watching this in the theater with you.
If by “bonkers” you mean “peak cinema” then yeah
“You’ll always be our captain, Captain.”

I remember watching this movie when I was like 12 and never seeing it again in media, I legit thought I had dreamt up the whole story in a fever dream.
It had a good amount of Princess Bride vibes in it
Silly and adorable chaos. I'll always be happy to revisit this film.
Adore this banger. A hidden classic if you will!
This movie is on the same level as "Princess Bride"...and that's a pretty high bar!!
Great job. I got to relive my favorite movie without having to watch it. Such a great fairytale.
This movie is a certified classic, definitely one of the greats.
This movie is so wild and heartwarming. I love this movie. It has become my #1 favorite and is, for sure, the movie I will suggest to anyone. It hasn't had enough popularity!
Was *cackling* the whole way through this. Loved every second. Thank you for this seriously hilarious and accurate summary of the movie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watched this movie for the first time randomly because I found a DVD of it somewhere in my house. Watched it about 20 times over the next 3-4 years and this is the first time in a long time that I even got reminded of the story. I just remember how great it made me feel. This movie just didn't take itself too seriously, and every actor played their parts impeccably.
I love this movie!. I know it's wild, but you can't get that kind of ride anywhere. Good job of this. I liked it
Your narration of the story is one of the most hilarious I've seen. Thank you.
This movie is one of my comfort films. I've seen it about 100 times and I still love it. I really enjoyed your take on Stardust, great video! Calling the characters by other names from their other movies was hilarious. "Ok whatever, you got a week, or I'm marrying Superman" was a particular favourite 😂 You just earned a new subscriber 👍 Big love from Manchester UK xXx
Simply wonderfull. Make more of this, I'm begging you!
This was a brilliant film. Much better than the book, which is rare.
8:40 Primus bleeds blue because it’s a play on the term “blue blood” (someone of noble birth).
I just watched both your movie recaps and they gave me so much nostalgia :) If you're looking for more films that have the same wacky vibe City of Ember or Inkheart are also up there if you've ever watched them, although personally I would advocate for a recap of The Fifth Element - amazingly fun movie and so much to comment on.
oh my god...nostalgic. also love that you're reviewing movies it's fun to watch you no matter what type of content! :D keep up the great work
Wild. I had been intending on rewatching this recently. Guess this is my calling to do so.
I count this as one of my favourite films I watch at Christmas! It’s got all the warmth of a Christmas film 😍
Love this movie! A classic and entertainingly over-the-top fairytale! ^^
The voodoo doll in the water is such a unique way to kill someone
The book is even crazier. It's one of my faves
I cannot express in words how much I love this movie. It fills my heart with warmth nostalgia and teenage wonder every viewing.
stardust is peak cinema, and anyone who says otherwise will be visited by me at night
This movie was a total autism movie for me. I watched it so much when I was a kid like multiple times a week for many months
Stardust is unhinged and brilliant, and quintessentially British in it's writing and humour 👌✨
Absolute blast of a movie. Akin to Princess Bride in wordplay and fun.
A rewatch whenever I am down.
2007?
Has it already been that long? Wow.
Anyhow. I LOVE that movie.
Shame execs don't have the balls to make these kind of movies any more.
Damsel without the humor or witches (Fairy Godmother) or a Star (Fairies like Tinkerbell)
This is one of the best films from my childhood... and Having Take That 'Rule The World' as the closing credit song... I ball in tears every single time.
I saw stardust in the cinema 7 times. I have watched it a minimum of 3 times a year since. It is my favorite rainy day film and I STILL go giddy and weak at the knees for Charlie Cox because this film made me fall in love with him. The moment when they're on the sky boat and yvaine starts waltzing with Tristan and the music swells as she starts glowing makes my heart soar to this day. I read the book and didn't like it as much. I was 16 when this came out and I'll be watching it till I die.
One of the best fantasy movies. Keeps the good balance of epicness, magic, and humor.
This is my favorite movie, it’s so much fun
This movie will always go down in my memory as the most mid last movie I watched with my grandparents the year 1 died of cancer and the other of a heart attack. RIP grandparents, I truly wish I had spent that valuable time with you in any other way than watching this in the theater with you.
This is my first video of yours that I watched. I think I'm down for some more of your content thank you.
The Septimus soundtrack from this movie is fantastic and something I return to every now and then.
Amazing movie.
