Yea, I saw it when I was like 7 or 8 years old I believe. No clue what I was watching, it had been so long I started thinking I dreamt it up.... No one ever knew what I was talking about when I tried to describe it.
I saw The Blood of Heroes in the theater. I think I've only managed to see it on TV once since, and I've never seen it for sale in any format here. I'd love for it to get a proper full physical release with both versions.
Meet The Applegates. Meet The Hollowheads. Meet The Feebles. Meet The Deedles. Meet The Parents. Meet The Fockers. Meet The Black's. Meet The Brown's. Wonder if anyone ever attempted a marathon of all these movies?
@@anthonyclark9441 you know opinions can't be " crap" right? opinions are not facts . you don't get to tell people what their opinion is , or whether or not its " crap" . if you like terrible movies more power to you . i do not.
Saw Blood of Heroes on HBO quite a few times back then. Rutger Hauer said it was his favorite of the movies he did. It really is good. And I think the amateur jugger sport is still going.
If I were to ever start my own Blu-Ray label, it would focus on obscure, forgotten, and/or culturally significan 20th century films from lesser known countries like in Africa, Southeast Asia, South/Central America, and Eastern Europe.
Blood of Heroes/Salute of the Jugger! YASSS! When I was living with my brother in the late 90's we loved that movie so much he incorporated it into our Gamma World sessions!
Sooo happy somebody is talking about "Jugger: Salute of Heroes" Besides the Wasteland convention thing, which is very cool, there also is a proper sports version of Jugger that gets played all over Europe, and some teams even in the Americas and Australia. It's a fantastic sport and I can highly recommend checking if you have a local team nearby!
I remember Blood of the heroes. In Germany it was just called "The Jugger/Die Jugger". It was my first postapocalyptic movie ever and i LOVED it. Had it on VHS and watched every grain of quality out of the magnet band.
OMG I remember renting Salute of the Jugger back in the day on VHS from the local video shop. Here's hoping it gets the release because, well, Rutget Hauer.
It took my family ages to find a copy of Meet The Applegates after our first time watching it, the film is genuinely great, and I hope more people get to experience it! I'm so glad to see others talk about it!
I NEED to see Meet the Applegates now! The cover never caught my attention but that case is a must watch! Cecil, For your next NEEDS a Blu-ray now episode how about Mister Frost (1990)? Is Jeff Goldblum the Devil
"Breaking All the Rules" is a movie I saw in the late 80s but I completely forgot the title. I thought about what I remembered and came up with a keyword search: "Canadien Amusement Park." Popped right up. Special thanks to MST3k "Zombie Nightmare" for pointing out where and how movies are Canada, eh?
Salute of the Jugger was one of those movies that I knew I would love, thanks to my favorite critic. I knew him so well, that I knew by the way he hated it, that I would love it. I did. I watched it three times. It had almost nothing to do with 15 year old me liking Joan Chen a lot. The final battle is really great. The music is as well.
Damn, i remember watching Salute of The Jugger on tv in the 90's just once but i didn't see the beginning so i never knew the title, so for me it was: "The movie with the guy from Split Second and the asian girl were they play a game in the future", for many years... Yep, life before the internet had it's charm.
The full line was "A black comedy about giant sentient insects might not be the film that gets people on board with your cause". I was pointing out how the giant bugs not the satire may not work for some people.
@@GoodBadFlicks But aren't bugs symbolic of corruption and rot? Worked for Blue Velvet and it's a recurring motif in the underrated darkly comic anthology horror comic Ice Cream Man.
City Limits is one of my favorite MST3K episodes. They lampshaded the fact that two of the characters were named Bert and Ernie, the "someday this land will be ours- oh wait, it already is" quip is eerily similar to Mufasa's "everything the light touches will be yours" (especially since James Earl Jones is in this), and they made a reference to Shining Time Station!
I was just going to point out that "City Limits" was on MST3K but decided to scroll because I figured another fan had already pointed it out. It sort of toes the line between good-bad and just bad, at least from I could gleam.
Can I just say I'm shocked that you've never done a review of "Split Second" with Rutger Hauer. The movie isn't necessarily lost gold or anything, but it's right up your alley.
Split second is a brilliant satire. A friend of mine complained about every silly thing in it as if he was expecting it to be like Howard's end. This is a guy (in his 40s) that loves Terminator 2 but couldn't understand that Split second wasn't supposed to be serious.
I have a vague memory of kid me walking in on my Grandfather watching Meet the Applegates. Not sure what scene I saw, but the Bug transformation scared the hell out of kid me.
Breaking All the Rules was one of those movies that played on one of the local syndicated channels on the weekends ALL. THE. TIME. I must've seen it a dozen times over the years. Seems like whoever owned it just loved putting it on the schedule to fill the timeslot.
One film we'd all love to have on physical media: The Final Sacrifice. But chance would be a fine thing. One film that's never come to physical media: Inchon. The 1982 Korean War movie produced by the Moonies. Winner of worst picture at the Razzies that year, it's only out there via a cable channel broadcast that has been uploaded to you tube. I don't know if anyone would actually want to own it though.
Blood of Heroes is one of my favorite post-apoc movies. I recorded it on VHS years ago. I mean, Rutger Hauer. What more do you need? That Sarah Roemer is someone I'm not familiar with, but she seems interesting. She's got kind of a Cate Blanchett look to her. A movie I would love to see you cover is Series 7: The Contenders. It's about a reality TV show where people stalk and kill each other and before you make any judgments, it's from 2001, before everyone had done this idea and reality shows were just catching on. It's VERY low budget, but the way it's shot just makes it look more believable as a reality show. Give it a look if you haven't.
"Meet the Applegate's" is surprisingly underrated with decent SFX. "City Limits", the best way to watch is on MST3K as always. I vaguely remember "Asylum", "Blood of Heroes"... Rutger Hauler hell yeah & Joan Chen 😉. The actor in the last movie looks like Melanie Griffith.
I stll have my vhs copy of blood of heroes...Mad max meets monday night football :P with a great cast Delroy Lindo, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rutger Hauer and Joan Chen
I loved Meet the Applegates. We had a VHS recording from HBO or something when I was a kid, but we've misplaced it. You know what movie I can't believe doesn't have a 2K or 4K release? Grandma's Boy. It's not overlooked or forgottenf, but it doesn't have a BD release. I would actually be really excited if Happy Madison would just put out an entire set, including Netflix exclusives. You've probably already covered this one, because I think you've at least reviewed it before, but I think Fright Night Part 2 is another good candidate.
Maaaan, Meet The Applegates, I haven't seen that in years, I'm deffo gonna have to try and hunt down a copy and give it another watch, I loved it as a kid and Salute of the Jugger is freaking awesome, it's the closest we'll ever come to a movie version of the Commodore Amiga game Speedball 2.
The movie did eventually get made and was very quietly released in 2014. I haven't seen it so I can't say if its any good or not but IMDB has it at a 4.4.
For a fun Canadian sex comedy watch "Pinball Summer" (1980) AKA "Pick-Up Summer". It's about some boys that face off against a biker gang by having a pinball tournament. Only released on DVD.
It’s funny you bring up kite when talking David ellis, cause recently they just announced they’re doing a remaster of the original OVA in all 3 of it’s cuts. Which is kind of a huge deal, since that ova has a pretty interesting influence on certain things like Kill Bill. I’ve heard of city limits before, not any of the others. I’m surprised asylum didn’t get a blu ray given how recent of a film it is.
I love Blood of Heroes. I need to watch it again, but I remember it being surprisingly good. Not too shocking, given that cast, though, and I'd completely forgotten D'Onofrio is in it!
Yees you said Coober Pedy right! If you look at 6:52 you see Max Fairchild, who was in Mad Max and The Road Warrior in small parts. It also has other Mad Max alumni Hugh Keays-Byrne, Richard Norton and Guy Norris.
I'd like to add another movie on the list that deserves a Blu-Ray: There Goes The Neighborhood, released in 1992 and stars a list of talented actors including Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara, Jeremy Piven, Chazz Palminteri, Hector Elizondo, Jonathan Banks, Richard Portnow, Harris Yulin, Rhea Pearlman, Judith Ivey, and the late Dabney Coleman. It hasn't made it past DVD (it's currently titled Paydirt), it's not on any streaming service, and you have to pay to watch it on RUclips
I love this idea for a list! Hadn’t heard of most of these. Here’s a couple I’d like to see: 1) Home for the Holidays. Made-for-TV proto-slasher from the 70s. Stars a young Sally Field 2) The Night God Screamed. I remember liking this a lot, though it’s been awhile. Great title though. 3) Lemora: A Child’s Tale of the Supernatural. Really spooky effort from the 70s. It has a dvd release, which is better than nothin’.
I love Meet the Applegates! I saw it when it hit VHS when I was kid. City Limits to me almost sounds like the New Zealand TV series The Tribe before it was thought of
Gonna make a spiritual sequel to The Blood of the Heroes called Salute of the Juggalos with Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope playing it totally straight on their way to Oscar wins. Please nobody steal this can't miss award magnet blockbuster.
Vinegar Syndrome should do a excellent 4K UHD release of Meet The Applegate because they did release New World Picture films like Dead Heat on 4K and Blu-ray they should do a release on Meet The Applegate because that movie is perfect for them to release it on 4K also Meet The Applegate is one of the strangers films that got made thank you for that shout out cecil.
So That’s what Breaking All The Rules is about! Grew up seeing that cover in the video store but never watched it. Looks like I would have loved it! Or at least loved Her.
I saw the mst3k episode of City Limits and of course hilarious! Surprisingly, I have seen Meet The Applegates. A girl I knew when I was between at least 7-8 years old was either watching it on HBO or her parents had rented it along with Mannequin Too: On The Move because we watched it the same day. That needs to be on Blu-Ray or DVD and I would buy it!
Thank you so much for bringing up Meet the Applegates! That was one of the first movies i saw on t.v. where i realised i didnt really like mainstrean movies as much as the weird and unknown. Makes me also think of Welcome to Planet Earth/Alien Avengers. I believe that opal mine also pops up in Priscilla Queen of the Dessert. Thank you for another video! Always love learning more about the stuff i love
I never even heard of The Blood of Heroes which is rare for me to not know a wonderful Ruger horror film as such. About a year ago maybe longer it came out with the 1080i download and I now have it as part of my collection. The unique storyline and plot are a lost art of the 80s and 90s
Great job on the video, Cecil. I remember most of these titles, though whether or not I saw the film is hard to say. It is a great list to check out, especially "Blood Of The Heroes", which I might remember once I start watching it. 😉
Aw man, these are all movies I watched as a kid, they had have a huge impression on me. Back then movie like these felt so real to me, sometimes to the point of freaking me out. I loved Dunn in Tropical Heat.
3:35 Uh...Cecil, I think you mean 1992 not 1982, unless some weird time travel shenanigans were involved.
I remember watching the beginning of Meet the Applegates as a kid. And for the longest time I thought I imagined it.
Same, I had to look it up a few years ago.
Yea, I saw it when I was like 7 or 8 years old I believe. No clue what I was watching, it had been so long I started thinking I dreamt it up.... No one ever knew what I was talking about when I tried to describe it.
I saw The Blood of Heroes in the theater. I think I've only managed to see it on TV once since, and I've never seen it for sale in any format here. I'd love for it to get a proper full physical release with both versions.
Meet The Applegates. Meet The Hollowheads. Meet The Feebles. Meet The Deedles. Meet The Parents. Meet The Fockers. Meet The Black's. Meet The Brown's.
Wonder if anyone ever attempted a marathon of all these movies?
Probably end up like Abed from Community after he binged all those Nic Cage movies. I wouldn't chance it.
Meet the Robinsons
My favorite marathon is one I call TOTALLY TUBULAR...it's The Dark Backward - Meet the Hollowheads - Brazil

I saw the mst3k episode of City Limits and of course hilarious! Surprisingly, I have seen Meet The Applegates. A girl I knew when I was between at least 7-8 years old was either watching it on HBO or her parents had rented it along with Mannequin Too: On The Move because we watched it the same day.
That needs to be on Blu-Ray or DVD and I would buy it!
Shoutout to Craig R. Baxley as one of the great stuntman turned directors
Thank you so much for bringing up Meet the Applegates! That was one of the first movies i saw on t.v. where i realised i didnt really like mainstrean movies as much as the weird and unknown. Makes me also think of Welcome to Planet Earth/Alien Avengers.
I believe that opal mine also pops up in Priscilla Queen of the Dessert. Thank you for another video! Always love learning more about the stuff i love
Bwwwaaa haaa haaa!! Did I just hear "baloney pony"?!
Damn, I thought that was young Nicole Kidman in the thumbnail.
I never even heard of The Blood of Heroes which is rare for me to not know a wonderful Ruger horror film as such. About a year ago maybe longer it came out with the 1080i download and I now have it as part of my collection. The unique storyline and plot are a lost art of the 80s and 90s
I really liked Sarah Roemer in Disturbia ❤
Great job on the video, Cecil. I remember most of these titles, though whether or not I saw the film is hard to say. It is a great list to check out, especially "Blood Of The Heroes", which I might remember once I start watching it. 😉
My brother literally just told me yesterday that he just watched Meet the Applegates and I was trying to remember if you ever covered it.
Asylum is amazing i love the villian no one talks about this movie ever and fired up is amazing too.
Aw man, these are all movies I watched as a kid, they had have a huge impression on me. Back then movie like these felt so real to me, sometimes to the point of freaking me out. I loved Dunn in Tropical Heat.
Primal Force is a TV movie that needs a Blu-ray.
