- Remember that scene in Troll 2, where the teens are watching that movie in their TV? It shows a guy in an ape costume touching a glowing egg, then getting shot in the air like a rocket! What with that? Well, that movie is called GRUNT from 1983, and it's some weird Italian caveman movie. Let's dive into the history of how I figured it out. Enjoy this Cinemassacre review!

"There she is, our Columbia!"
-"I offer you our greetings, Columbia!"
"Let us go, it's drafty"
Humor levels are over 9000
And now in German :D
"Da ist Sie unsere Kolumbia!"
"Ich erbiete dir unseren Gruß, Kolumbia!"
"Lasst uns geh'n, hier ziehts so!"
Was the goddess Athena or Minerva not Colombia. A failed gag.
@@criceto It's the logo of Columbia pictures...
@@MP-kw5ud yes the stupid gag was intended the supposed to see the goodness and she does appeared as the logo. The movie has some good moments by the invented language of the barbarians, the only good thing was lost when dubbed, but overall is not a very good movie. Many gags were unfunny like that
your mums over 9000
This means "Grunt!" is now officially "The worst movie referenced in the best worst movie"
This. THIS is the Cinemassacre I love, someone willing to dedicate his own personal time to watch something no one else will to come up with a beautiful connection between two not even popular movies. 🍿 This is why I’m subscribed.
Agree
THIS... So hard
Exactly!
Big facts.
More than a connection between two: he painted quite a _web_ of connections between all those different cheeseball Italian "genre film" sequels, sequels "in name only", and sequels "in sleazeball home video marketer renamed name only"! I considered myself knowledgeable about some parts of that web, but James showed it to be bigger than I ever knew...! 😄 And that _"Trolls_ is the true sequel to _Troll"_ thing (just like _Alien_ and _Aliens)_ was genius.
The whole movie Grunt looks like it should be playing on tv in a Sponge Bob episode
Perhaps if Nickelodeon gets a hold of it, they would.
I love this videos with only James talking to the camera. Relaxing and entertaining. More of this please!!
You mean not improvised, with actual scenes of the movie and edited? Yes, please.
James is a funny guy when he is just talking but his scripts are halarious
Yea mikes fun behind the scenes but james is the star
@@AbridgedPwned At least it seems he is into it. Most rental review he is not even there. That's why my favourite are Event Horizon and Annihilation. You can tell he is having fun on that ones. Like when he narrated his personal experience with the Blood Orgy scene at his home.
Well have i got news for you buddy. There are literally thousands of videos of james reviewing movies just himself lol
This video should have ended with James rocketing into space.
bktrn agreed or copied starcrash movie’s ending when Stella star and Elle crash the emperors ship into the counts ship😊
This isn't AVGN.
He touches the gumball machine and then rockets into space lol
I was actually waiting for that to happen
I love how this just slowly turned into another chronologically confused video!
As an italian, Attila is an absolute masterpiece and a cult classic.
NOI ROMA
LA RADEREMO AL SUOLO
@@LordRemiem“Sbabbari, uomini di inaudita viulenza, di inaudita ferocia, figli del Dio Odino! Io vi dico, vostro re, che questa volta li romani hanno tirato troppo la corda! E quindi io vi dico che chi la fa l'aspetti. È chiaro?”
Italian here! I Can confirm the movies are not related at all...”Attila flagello di Dio” is a classic and beloved movie here in Italy...never even heard about the other three movies :/
"Quando le donne avevano la coda"è abbastanza famoso col mitico Lando Buzzanca
I did, they used to air when women had tails late at night on local TV stations. Grunt though I've never seen it, I wonder what it's called in Italian.
A mama mia! 😯
A man of culture... Diego Abatantuono is great in that movie.
@@Entropy3ko ECCEZZIUNALE VEERAMENTE
I was born in Italy and " Attila flagello di Dio " is a freaking classic there, me and my friends used to quote it all the time. It stars Diego Abatantuono in the role of Attila which was and still is a comedic actor, even if he starred in more serious roles like Salvatores' "Mediterraneo". He was very popular in the 80s and had a handful of recurring characters. His main "shtick" was playing a southerner who lived or was born in the north ,pretending to speak with a northern accent (poorly) and making fun of southerners. You see in Italy people from the north hate people from the south and viceversa, so many comedians make fun of that . I thought you may be interested .
“Potremm' mangià, chessò, pollo, potremm' mangià dain', cevv', alce, shtruzzo, 'alceshtruzzo”
Isn't the north of Italy developed and more urbanized while the south is rural and full of poverty?
@@Mirokuofnite i wouldnt say "poverty" but thats pretty much it
@@Mirokuofnite in the last 50 years we have done some progress here
@@Mangosporteam word, i like pizza too
"Then he: farts fireworks, whacks his head, wakes everybody up" - standard.
@@janX9 I slept through the fireworks, but that head whack...
..."then he does a backflip, snaps the bad guy's neck, and saves the day."
That's why that movie is awesome
I had no idea "caveman comedy" was a genre until now. I'm so happy I now know this.
There also seems to be a caveman softcore genre too. I've seen them pop up on certain cable channels lately at night.
"Why did I have to do it?"
For us, James. You did it for us.
Guy 1: There she is, our Columbia.
Guy 2: We greet you.
Guy 3: Let's go, there's a draft here.
German dubbing in the typical 'funny' Schnodderdeutsch of the 70s.
Es ist lustig.
its actually funnier in german
@@immortannojoe9523 It certainly has its place in history. I find it funny in many Bud Spencer movies and it is outstandingly used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or even in the original Star Trek series. It wasn't taking itself too serious.
I had never seen the words 'funny' and 'german' in the same sentence until now.
I think "let's go, there's a draft in here" is going to be what I say before I leave almost any situation now.
This seems like a movie that you can watch in the theater that's in GTA V.
Like "Simian"?
"Emerald in crusted toilet paper or a pet dragon that shits pizza, that's amor'e!!"
is it possible to put it in the threatre with a gtav pc port? just like you can put mp3 music in the gta folder?
Michael: “where do they come up with this stuff?!”
“It’s obscure for a reason, because it sucks”
This was a great video.
Most entertaining. Real good investigative skills.
Here here old boy. Quite right quite right 🥂
Good old James, turning a 30-second explanation into a 13 minute expose.
Exactly, that's James for ya. He could've said:
You know that movie clip in trolls 2 where they watch a really weird monkey touch an egg and rockets off into space? Well, it came from an Italian movie called Grunt, which was technically related to a German-Italian series called when women had their tails. What are the boys laughing at in Trolls 2? Well, basically nothing.
@@Dragzilla66 Worth every minute.
Yep
He is the father of Scott the woz
"Attila flagello di Dio" is a cult movie in Italy. I'm not joking
Oh lord
Adesso, non esageriamo...!
Like Austin Powers cult following?
Abatantuono....
Yes it really is very renowned
Si è molto famoso
As an Italian, I never imagined I could see Attila reviewed by AVGN!!
Too bad James did a poor review based upon a shitty German botched version
I tought the same, LOL.
Ci rendiamo conto che Abatantuono è in un episodio di Cinemassacre Review.....
"I have to go now. My planet needs me."
lol, good one
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z
doctor Zaius! doctor Zaius!.....Oooohhhh doctor Zaius!
Note: Monkey died on the way back to his home planet.
@@FallingPicturesProductions It's the part I was born to play, baby!
This feels like the “Epic movie” of its day
Well I would say the filmmaker tried his best to made a fun spoof movie but failed badly and come back being a supportive actor since. Who did epic movie , meet the spartans and similar despite having the knowledge and the budget did not ever tried.
Will Smith
Duly noted.
“Then he gives them the flower and they all get high” Much like the cast and crew!
PoppyPower!
So this is what James did during Quarantine.
"Attila, scourge of god" is a real cult classic in Italy, with Diego Abatantuono as the protagonist playng the famous barbarian chief Attile, chief of the Huns.
He was in a few movies that guy.
Vedo che anche lei è un uomo di cultura
@Lee O’kelly look for the original version with subtitles. Avoid dubbed versions
Is Aguirre, Wrath of God related in any way?
@@otterno.1128 no it is the farcical story of a petty barbarian king that thinks he is Attila king of huns and try to take over the romans with his tribe.
You know it’s a nightmare when James and the Nerd become indistinguishable
"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"
"It's obscure for a reason. Because it sucks." Yep. It's so often the case. But every now and then you find a gem!
Hey! Italian fan here. Attila Flagello di Dio it is a well known low budget trash-comedy here in Italy, mostly because the main character later ended up to be a famous and respected actor! The others I have no idea from which horror museum they came from! Cheers!
Third one was by Sergio Corbucci, director of some of the best Bud Spencer's and Terence Hill's movies and the Tarantino's favorite Django with Franco Neri
@@Thomasmemoryscentral not the chosen one. The guy who plays Attila, in the scene where they see the Columbia logo it's the big guy in the middle with lots of furs. It's Diego Abatantuono
@@Delcaran CORBUCCI?? Holy hell, that's a shock
@@T_Bot1 if my eyesight is still good, I read it's name on the cover ;)
Also Attila is a great, crazy comedy. :D
WoooooooW I never never NEVER would have thought to see one day Attila flagello di Dio in one of James Videos. (The film and the main actor, the big warrior, Diego Abatantuono are pretty famous in Italy)
@lucab14 si che poi paragona la commedia surreale e ridicola di Grunt! con quella cacca de "the 3 stooges" (in italiano "i tre marmittoni"). Mentre grunt! é universale nella sua stupidita, i tre marmittoni sono una noia incredibile. Che bisogna fare, parla ad un pubblico prevalentemente americano..
A come atrocità,
doppia T come terremoto e traggedia,
I come ira di Dio,
L come lago di sancue
e A come "adesso vengo e ti sfascio le corna"!
@@Eisenwulf666 cacca i three stooges?mi sa che non li conosci proprio!!
"The monkey we been waiting to see." The way James said that was gold.
I remember when I found out the movie was called "GRUNT!" and searched desperately for it. I couldn't find it, so I gave up, and I forgot about it for like 15 years... until now, that you brought it up.
I love how James always provides great videos that help me to escape from all the crap in the world.
I agree, this is perfectly timed.
I didn't remember Grunt!, which, according to conteporary italian critics is "the lowest point of Italian comedy Cinema", but I have to say that When Women had Tails (original title: Quando le Donne Avevano la Coda, literally translated in English) and Attila Flagello di Dio are two cult comedy movies, here in Italy, expecially the second.
Anybody, in Italy, knows that movie, and his protagonist, Diego Abatantuono, is a very well known and (nowadays) respected actor. He was the lead in the 1992 Oscar winning movie Mediterraneo, directed by Gabriele Salvatores.
Grunt was made by andy luotto that was a tv comedian andd and not even a good one
@@criceto The movie looks awesome
The cinema snob has teased "When women had tails" on his show before.
Also, Senta Berger as lead is a respected german actress 😂
I just realised how James' content is like doing some sort film archeology not just history
By the way: Translation for the Columbia scene:
"There she is, our Columbia!"
"Let's go. It's drafty."
He’s reviewing it...
And then he’s gonna review me...
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD
THEY'RE EATING 'ER!
Michael Marucci “AND THEN THEY’RE GONNA EAT ME!”
@@_PuppetMaster86 THEY ARE GONNA EAT EVERYONE
Hilarious
Ok so I just googled ‘grunt 83 synopsis’ and I got the real plot now!! It must’ve been changed because of the video. Good work James haha
2:51 That dude in the middle, took that rock to the face like a champ.
I always thought the guy who screamed "Oh my God!" was the same guy who played Billy, the Blue Power Ranger.
Holy shit they actually look the same, including glasses.
i gotta be honest, as someone who grew up with Billy as the Blue Ranger, I dont see a resemblance between Oh My God guy and David Yost. At all.
Would you believe me if I said you're not the only one who noticed that?
@Gary Hall well well well
@Gary Hall the network don callus is that yiu?
9:57 This is definitely how The Angry Movie Nerd would look and sound if it existed.
The Angry Movie Nerd >>>>>>> The Nostalgia Critic
@@SonofTiamat Their both great I their own ways. AVGN is insane and the Cric is a madman.
@@SonofTiamat more like Brad Jones the Cinema Snob, some of the shlock he reviews can't even be seen in it's full glory on YT, you seriously have to goto Pornhub. 😂
watch avgn’s ricky 1 review, its pretty much that
Wouldn't that be the Angry Cinema Nerd (hell you could probably write a whole song with that)
I was totally expecting James to blast off like the monkey at the end😭
Thank you for solving this mystery... it’s haunted me for years. James was bold and willing to go that extra mile... he was willing to do what the Best worse movie documentary was too scared to do. I salute you sir.
FUN FACT: The Colombian logo was actually an REAL actress, unfortunately I forgot her name but this was explained in Bram stoker's Dracula commentary with the director.
3:42
You were right James, My mind was engaged and I was thinking... “theirs no way it’s *that* unpredictable, it’s got to be something that is physically there, like a Snake Man or an Ass-Rocket Powered Gorilla”? Nope, beyond all scale and scope, That would have been one of the last things I would have guessed if you gave me a lifetime to guess what they saw! That is the truest “you will never believe what happens next” I have ever witnessed! Thanks for the mind-fuck Nerd!
This was a great episode of chronologically confused that wasn’t even an episode of chronologically confused
We can hear AVGN in this review. Like James is trying really hard to hold it lol
I always thought it was just some really random scene they created for Troll 2. This revelation is both highly enlightening and slightly disappointing. Thank you for your service.
You should to a top 10 movies withing a movie scenes.
Hi
Now that I've figured out what your comment says, I endorse it.
Scream, Scream 4 opening is like a movie within a movie within a movie within a movie within a movie.
I'd buy that for $1
Scream 2 in Halloween H20, Scream, a movie about making fun of horror movies is in a horror movie.
The actor in the cover image screenshot is the same one as, "Ass Eaters From Outer Space."
"das ist sie unsere columbia"
"lasst uns gehen, hier zieht es so"
as agerman i can say that this is pure gold
Chronologically Confused:
The Troll Series
You mean the whole time, Troll 2 isn't a sequel to Troll 1, and doesn't have a character named Harry Potter? What a shitload of fuck!
more like chronologically confused about every italian exploitation film series
Does anyone else find the way that James says “Bad” really satisfying?
beeyadd
Bæd
Actually, yes. It's like, the way he says it is the only way to say it which conveys the true meaning of the word. Other pronunciations just sort of approach the communication of an intangible concept. James says it in a way that represents the true essence of "bad."
I think because he says it almost like a swear, like he doesn't want to say it.
Chronologically Confused About That Movie In Troll 2
I needed to see the Colombia Pictures logo three times. Thank you, James.
7:46 "Damn. I wouldn't want to get hit by one of those acorns." -AVGN, Bible Games
Some say that monkey is still somewhere out there. Rocketing into space to this day.
There is the chance... the _slightest_ chance... that he may have landed on a long deserted world...
... thousands of years from now, when his ancestors are riding horses on the beach, they will come across the remains of a large maid.. a _mega_ maid if you will... which will both suck _and_ blow...
But is it a flying fuckernaut, or an astro bastard?
Non pensavo di vivere tanto a lungo da vedere Diego Abatantuono apparire nel canale di James, credo che non mi restino molti anni di vita.
Don't bother translating this phrase english speaking friends, you cannot imagine the pure joy I, as an italian, feel at this very moment.
Hehe I'm a romance lenguage native speaker, I don't need to translate it
@@ivyssauro123 I hope that you also know the legend that is, Attila: flagello di Dio
@@Bri0tera nah, but now I shall
I love that when the barbarians meet Columbia, before we see her there's a flash of light on their faces, which accounts for her torch lighting up.
In the early 90s I saw "When Women Had Tails" on late night cable and it altered my course to seek out the strangest movies I could find. I'm still hoping these Italian caveman comedies somehow get released in the US!
Oh my god I remember way back during his Trolls 2 review when James was talking about this. Now it's come full circle.
Aw man that Columbia scene had me crying with laughter
when things you love finally unite: Troll2 and James Rolfe. You can’t piss on that hospitality!
"Attila: Flagello di Dio" is a cult classic in Italy
Francesco Nazzani it looks pretty funny
Sounds like a movie for Brandon Tenold to review.
Umh Actually If you understood Italian you would realize it's a deep allegory. The Monkey shooting into space is a representation of Jesus's ascension in the lost Gospel of
Nah it's just some crap
Inspiration for pixies classic “this monkeys gone to heaven” not sure if it’s true but quick, spread internet rumor!
“Attila Flagello di Dio” is a true comedy classic in italy, actually very funny if you understand the language. Putting together unrelated movies into a series was common procedure in europe in the past, for example Evil Dead (known as “La Casa” in italian, translated “the house”) was a series composed of 7 different horror movies simply because they featured a house, in order: Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Ghosthouse, Witchery, Beyond Darkness, House 2, The Horror Show
and the japanese movie House?
Steamboat Willie. Nothing to do with the japanese “House” it would have been hella funny though
Thanks for this. I know it's a lot of work with seemingly little payoff, but I personally love learning about the interesting connections between movies and discussions on forgotten media.
This might just be my favorite Cinemassacre video that I've seen. That was quite the investigation.
12:10! So this is the scene that influenced the Pixies to write the song "This Monkey's Gone To Heaven! Nice!
Really?
These James movie trivia and review videos are truly fantastic, keep em coming
Darren Ewing (the OMG guy) is a friend of mine. He explained when they shot that scene the screen was just blank so thats why its ......odd.
He's infamous
@@every__villian_is_lemons He is a genuine dude. We sat down for maybe an hour and answered every troll 2 question I could think of.
that's not why it's odd. Actually góód actors deal with stuff like that on a regular basis. He's just a terrible actor.
I love the implication that these sociopaths in the movie Troll 2 all don't know when to emote so they stood like statues until the movie told them to make the laugh noise.
"There isn't even a camera anywhere in the movie....."
I think you missed the joke on that one. 😂
Would you care to explain?
(Out of curiosity because I don't get it)
@@StarWarriorCentral the very camera that is filming the movie is the camera they take the picture, it's a fourth wall break joke. Every movie, no matter what and where you are, has a camera in it.
When Deadpool does it everybody finds it funny, but when italian porno-comedy films do it it's nonsensical tsc tsc
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Thank you! 😂
Y'know, I hadn't even thought about it before, but I actually like these James-talking-about-a-movie-topic-in-depth videos more than AVGN videos.
T-T-The Columbia Logo?!
I, am as confused as you...
I need an italian to translate this movie...so there is some context...
columbia was a roman goddes
It's like the Spanish inquisition.
@@kyokyodisaster4842 this is the German dubbed version. German dubs of Italian movies where as common as really bad translated, changing all the puns and sometimes the plot.
@@kyokyodisaster4842 holy shit i'm on it, i'll also let you know that the movie almost has cult status in italy (mainly with older people) to the point of being quoted by google assistant as an inside joke ,and the lead actor is straight up famous (diego abatantuono)
3:46 that is the most spiritual experience I have seen on cinemassacre!!
No joke, I thought this was a dream I had as a kid because of how ridiculous it was.
Then years later I found out it was real and I did the same "OH MY GOOOOOOD" scream as the movie.
THAT'S WHERE IT'S FROM??
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD
"ATTILA il flagello di Dio" it's a classic here in Italy, I think that every italian that is older 18yo knows this movie
Italian here, I actually heard about it but didn't know it was a comedy lol
Conclusion: Some mysteries are better to remain unsolved, for our own good.
This was legit one of my favourites from you ever, James. Had me cackling all the way through!
4:06 that's like if a fantasy film finds a Pegasus and it plays the Tri-Star logo
They're eating her then they're going to eat me
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
Thats some hardcore sleuthing James! I own Troll 2 and never even thought about that scene. It’ll have so much more meaning now!
Attila's actor protagonist, Diego Abatantuono, is a famous Italian comedy actor. I'd suggest to watch some of his best hits.
Agreed
James... I love you. You are objectively the greatest content creator on RUclips. Been watching you since AVGN season 2. Never change and keep doing what you're doing.
Lmao! There's even a countdown before the monkey shoots up into the sky! Oh so now the monkey is a rocketship but he still looks like a monkey?? Pure gold. 🤣🤣🤣
so a monkey touches a hot, glowing egg, which somehow makes it so his ass acts like a rocket and he's able to blast off into the sky. yep, makes total sense! sometimes it's not worth trying to make sense of it. just sit back and laugh your ass off.
I can't possibly believe that James Rolfe is talking about that Attila movie XD
Please make more of these!! I love watching James just talk about shit no one thinks about from different movies. PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM
Thank you James. You and Cinemassacre as a whole have yet again turned a crap day I've been having into a Smile on my face! Still get excited EVERYTIME I get a notification showing your AvGn title and your Factu......ummm, Editori.....ummm, Histori..... Awesome video.
Much Appreciation from Ringgold, GA
With the title “The Movie in Troll 2”, I thought this video was going to be a meta analysis.
Attila flagello di Dio is a HUGE film in Italy, it launched the career of one of our greatest actors and comedians, Diego Abbatantuono, who is very famous all over Europe. The problem is, most of the Italian movies of that time had jokes that only worked in Italian dialects or in the context of Italian politics and society of the 80s, so they're practically impossible to understand for foreign audiences, and even to younger Italian generations. But still great!
3:35 that man won an academy award in 1992 with the film Mediterraneo
"When women had tails" (Quando le donne avevano la coda) is and old movie that I enjoied and laughed at when I was a little kid. Despite some nudity, only a 4 years old could like it.
The popcorn scene from Troll 2 😂
James, you need to do a rental review on it!
My dad told me about _When Women Had Tails_ in the 80s! Damn, I haven't thought about it for decades, he told me there's a scene of a camel taking a crap.
The original _When Women Had Tails_ was on my local rental store, in Chile, right before democracy came back.
Thank you so much James for the time you put into these videos. You are the best!
