This movie rocks and is the best werewolf movie ever made and to say it's a remake is a disservice to all horror movies. The power and the savagery of the wolf is genuinely frightening. It being his dad and what not was actually surprising. And your fans are just insufferable. All they be is yes men and you don't even respond to your comments.
I wonder if they hired Hopkins because of his role in the 90s Dracula film, which was actually a really great preformance by him, unlike this movie haha
Maybe someone had that thought but considering how star power and Hollywood works, I doubt it was the reason. It's like saying they hired Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man because he was also in Sleepy Hollow
14:35 Fun fact: The limbs Del Toro is eating there is actually made of candy! Iirc, the bones were honeycomb and the flesh was licorice! Del Toro requested that they made edible limbs for him to actually eat and chew on, hence why he looks so happy to lick on the bones
Another *FUN FACT:* I heard they played a joke on him, someone stole a corpse from the Morgue and cut it up to look like the candy body parts Del Toro became a Ghoul... He LOVED the meat. Rumor has it that he had people get him more body parts and he didnt care where they came from... (🇧🇪🇱🇦🇹🇪🇩 🇦🇵🇷🇮🇱 🇫🇴🇴🇱🇸) 🤣🐺
I kinda thought Hopkins was purposely acting bad cause his character was dissociating and poorly pretending to be a person cause he was more of the wolf
I enjoyed it because of the line he says before he locks himself in the crypt he says "you see I'm clearly dead" his humanity is gone and now he just waits to turn half assing being human not caring about his future hunts
Nah this is massive cope. Hopkins just gave a bad performance in this movie plain and simple. Doesn't take away from all the other roles he actually tried and excelled in though.
I'm a year late, but glad to see someone feeling the same way I am. He has given up on his own humanity. Has nothing but disdain for it even. Its perfect.
i fucking LOVE that James gives every movie a fair shot these days, even if he didn't personally enjoy it. this gets the same treatment that something like the original Child's Play did. you rule, man
Fun Fact: Two different endings were filmed before they went with the ending used in the final film. One ending had Wolf-Larry killing Gwen before she could fire a shot, but the 2nd ending had Gwen successfully shoot Wolf-Larry only to reveal that she's been bitten and now has the Wolf Curse.
I would've loved to see the ending where Gwen shoots Larry when he's transformed only for it to be reveled for her to be bitten and is now a female werewolf.
I feel for Benecio del Toro here. He was a huge Wolfman fan and you can tell this was a passion project and there was so much getting in the way of making the film homage he wanted.
I really don't get the hate for this. I absolutely loved this movie and was really hoping it would be the start of Universal's Dark Universe. Well we see how that turned out lol.
naw everyone is wrong the only answer is the “American werewolf in London” transformation where it’s j creepy asf and the scene where he goes into the subway r the best werewolf scene
I know it’s been hard with all the copyright claims and general RUclips issues, but seriously, to everyone at Dead Meat Productions: thank you for all that you do and always producing amazing quality content. There are so many movies that you’ve covered that I wouldn’t have heard of/considered watching before, but now, they’re some of my favorites. Thank you for all that you do.
Okay I had to pause the damn video and laugh out loud over the "He tries to get himself banned from Xbox live" line at 16:16. Oh man, brought me to actual tears of laughter.
Anthony Hopkins played the character just right. Emotionally unavailable, full of contempt, regret, and most importantly, just as he says in the movie, dead inside. He doesn't have a sense of urgency or surprise because he already knew exactly what was going to happen. He knew he killed his son, and when Lawrence arrived, he knew he would end up turning him and he would kill also.
I also thought his acting was deliberate. He portrayed a man that was "quite dead" very well. Although, the line "you're heir to my kingdom lawrence! You've always been heir to my kingdom!" Has such a funny delivery that it makes me crack up. I love this film.
I genuinely love this movie. I think most of Hopkins' sleepy performance can be boiled down to just making weird choices about the character he was playing. I guess Hopkins wanted to convey that he was cold and calculating, and so it just comes across as emotionless.
I think that was actually the point. He was hiding a whole aspect of himself. I think Hopkins wanted to sell the idea that he found his human form to be dreary, uninteresting, and distasteful. Because he seems to perk up a lot later on in the movie when he's being true to himself, as opposed to hiding himself.
I never gave Hopkins performance any thought.. I just figured he's playing the part the way he feels the part should be played. Like I said; Hopkins is great actor. He was in a ton of movies throughout the 90s and then some... When folks hear that " *Anthony Hopkins* " is in the movie, everyone and their brothers will want to see this 🤣🐺
@@Hellbane224 Agreed I actually quite like the performance as well because of the fact he begins acting more lively once he's done hiding it, also the line delivery of "You've Done Terrible Things, Laurence" was amazing with the malicious almost gleeful sound.
I have to say how much I appreciate the scripts for these Kill Counts. I'm especially noticing what I think are more pop culture connections than usual in this one but the care and effort it takes to make every line entertaining and educational without the need to explain every reference must be exhausting. It's brilliant stuff which is what brings me back to watch these time and again. Sincere thanks for the effort to everyone on the Dead Meat team.
James and his crew! Don’t ever apologize for the Kill Count releases being out of order. You guys are doing a great job! I’ve been watching Dead Meat for years now and you all are (pun intended) KILLING it!! 😄🔪 Keep up the great work!
Me too. I was a huge werewolf fan as a kid and when this came out when i was a young teen, I adored it. Also, I like the music and thought the slower pace kinda fit the Victorian setting. I dunno. I have the unrated version and rewatched it for the count. Still love it.
I legit can't think of anything that would make people hate this movie, is a perfectly serviceable violent horror movie. Is not scary and the story is just there- but the acting is decent and the special effects aren't cheesy or anything like that. Is honestly one of my favorite wolfman movies
@0:56 I actually like when in movies and such, the actor/character(however you wanna say it) doesnt always deliver lines 100% correctly / without slight messups or pauses etc. people in real life stutter and mess up when talking - it honestly makes it feel more real / genuine to me
Watching this Kill Count made me love and appreciate this film more because of the behind the scenes of it and the passion going into it. I loved the Wolfman look and to see the behind the scenes on it made me appreciate that aspect of the film even more. I also always loved how this wasn’t a modern day film like the original film was with it taking place during the Victorian era it really made it feel like it could fit into the other universal monster movies from back in the day.
I don't know why, but the delivery on "whatever did it, was big, had claws, and didn't mind a load of buckshot" is so good. My favorite single line from the movie
That movie is amazing Some fun facts is that the werewolves were played by circus artists And the punch to the superior officer when he was tied to the bed was supposed to be only one punch, a fake one, but the actor accidentally punched him for real, and before he could react the officer's actor did an improv asking him to "punch harder", then of course now was a fake punch
Bruh I thought me and my mom were the only ones that loved that movie. It is a good one but a true underrated werewolf movie in my opinion is Stephen kings silver bullet originally titled cycle of the werewolf in its novelette form
I truly think Hopkins was playing emotionless on purpose. His character was only alive when transformed. His life was otherwise without meaning, joy, or even anger.
Wait, did she say that they can only be released by someone who loves them at 8:24? So that makes them even harder to stop. How terrifying would it be if werewolves were actually real and would rampage like this? The Wolfman is already pretty OP from a physical standpoint. The speed, power, and durability, surpass basically anything and makes it top of the food chain, but then you have to love the person who is a werewolf to stop them for good. And then, adding to the difficulty, you have to use silver bullets or somehow be able to set it on fire and decapitate it.
Besides the speed strength and ferocity of the beast there's also the strangely sadistic side of the wolf that takes glee in killing all the people during the hunting scene in the woods I think it does a good job showing how dangerous something with animal instincts with human intent can do.
@@davidfrey08 I feel that, somewhere deep down, he still did love his father. Kind of hard to have no love for a parent, even a crappy one sometimes. I never thought about someone who is not loved by anyone becoming a werewolf. They would be a monster in more ways than one.
I gotta say I really like how this has elements of Werewolf of London, The Wolf Man and An American Werewolf in London, it’s like they took bits from the 3 most influential werewolf movies to make something that’s mostly new
At 10:45 I was thinking about how much the actor looked like Taika Watiti’s Blackbeard JUST as James made the Stede Bonnet joke. I love Dead Meat’s sense of humour so freaking much.
Does anyone else rewatch kill counts that they have already watched just for the commentary the kill counts for Halloween kills and better watch out are so damn good I've literally watched them both like 6 times each love his jokes such a good commentator I can't wait for the kill counts to come out each week
I've binged every episode enough to have most of them memorized, especially the Friday the 13th recounts. 😂 The Jason Lives recount is probably my favorite episode of all time.
This movie is symbolic, the fight between Lawrence and his Father speaks words, when his father tore off his clothes showing that he is no longer part of humanity but a true monster. While Lawrence keeps his clothes on showing that he is still part of humanity...
hey James, the audio cuts out at 22:34 and doesn't come back until 22:44. I have refreshed about 5 times and it has happened every time. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
I like how James rips on movies but also gives credit where credit is due. Also did the audio cut out for anyone else when he said “Good thing there’s a carriage full of cops who are willing.”?
Despite its few flaws, I absolutely love this film, the werewolf is my second favourite after Kessler, and this was the last movie I went to see on the cinema with my grandad before he passed away, who was a huge wolfman 1941 fan and who also got me into horror, so to me this movie is so sentimental
This was the first R rated movie my parents took me to see when I was a kid, I love this movie so much and yes some of the performances were bad, but Del Toro was so great in it, the effects, and score of this film are absolutely fantastic. This movie is everything a Werewolf fan would want in the gore department it will always hold a special place on my heart.
This movie is the perfect reflection of the time in which it was made. Messy production, uneven effects that are great when good but eye-rolling when not, some performances that leave you scratching your head while others shine through, and an absolutely killer gothic setting… I really enjoyed it :-D
I love horror movies, but as I grow up I find myself not having the time to enjoy these movies like I use to. The way you explain movies and just talk about them brings joy, plus I can watch a 2 hour movie in the few mins. Keep up the good work! I appreciate it!
Thanks for doing this James. The directors cut is fantastic and imo incredibly underrated. For all the incredible behind the scenes upheaval I think the film turned out pretty well.
This werewolf moments in this movie scared the shit out of me when i was either 10 or 11 and i had a fear of werewolves. Now for some bizarre reason in my late teens I find werewolves cool and i can appreciate this movie (most of it) for giving me the sense of being terrified.
I just rewatched this and remembered the “dust off the Cut Comparison” line. DOOOOO IIIIT DO IT. I loveedd the CC for so many reasons lol, I’d love to see it come back and see the Army of Darkness comparison
hopkins enjoyed this, and heres a quote from an interview about how he played the character: "So I thought well I'll play it like an, a quite, a much quieter man, based on someone that I knew when I was a little boy. He was an old farmer who was kind of eccentric and he used to come to my father's bake house. My father would give him stale bread to feed his pigs, you know. And I used to follow him, he was fascinating. We, all the kids, built up this fantasy about him that he was a demon or something. He was just a harmless old man, he didn't speak very much. So I based my character on him, and on the coldness-there's one line in the script when I say to Benicio Del Toro, I say 'by the way, I'm sorry to-your brother's body was found in a ditch, on the priory road. Do you have the right clothes for the funeral?' So cold. And I liked that about him. So I pulled that coldness right through the character. But he's not particularly crazy or bad or anything, he's just eccentric and distant and ice cold" edit: if he hadnt played it like the guy he knew, it would have been better
Always love kill counts; glad to finally see some love for this movie, or at least some recognition of what it was trying to do! Anyone else notice a random lack of audio/eng-subtitles around 22:34 - 22:45? Is this due to a copyright strike warning?
In case you're wondering what the lines were before the claim, here it is: JAMES: ...so good thing there's a carriage full of cops are more than willing. ABERLINE: If you see Talbot, don't get caught in a conversation. Shoot him. And kill him. On site.
@@quoteonquoteclub9711 what would it be a copyright for? It’s literally just dialogue, no music. He HAS DIALOGUE in this movie that WASN’T muted lol, so how does that even make sense?
I always loved this movie, it's so much fun. Werewolves are my favourite monsters so I've got some bias. Not a lot of werewolf movies with this kind of budget behind them, even with its problems it's easily one of the more notable werewolf films. Also, the director's cut is definitely better, the theatrical version doesn't do the characters justice.
the fact that i didn't know this movie existed until you decided to do these videos is why i love deadmeat so much. there are so many movies i wouldn't know about and never would have enjoyed if it wasn't for the kill counts.
I remember going to the theater to see this. This movie isn’t perfect, but man I love this movie. I’m a sucker for werewolf movies and I can say I’ve seen this one at least a dozen times.
Loving the new set guys. It looks much more fitting for the content. You always tried to spruce up the background but you could tell it was just a wall with a cubby. I love to see the growth in the channel. I’ve been watching a long time and this channel deserves all the upward momentum it’s getting.
I thought Anthony acted fantastically. I felt like he perfectly portrayed a man who disdained his barely remaining humanity, and a father who could barely contain his contempt for his son who left him. When he's human, he barely feels like he's alive, everything seems dull. But you can see moments of excitement come into his eyes whenever something exciting is happening, like the first time people try to take Lawrence, or the couple times he talks about his monster side.
I really love the thorough incorporation of behind the scenes clips and info! It makes the Kill Count so much more entertaining and informative, and it lets me enjoy Kill Counts way more for movies I've already seen. Man, I love this channel.
I just wanna say thanks to everyone who worked on this video. I had to be in my first lockdown for something actually threatening today, so I'm just tired and sad and scared and all of those other shitty emotions, and I really needed this today.
Yess I love this movie! and honestly prefer it over the original one a it more. I know its far from perfect but I absolutely love the aesthetic the movie gives and gothic everything seems not to mention the acting as well.
So I saw a comment about Anthony's performance being drowsy on purpose and I agree. Sir John is bored of being a human. Its about having power to him. Hiding who he really is would most definitely be boring to him. After confessing to Lawrence he kinda let's that kid out with the harmonica and so on. He loves the wolf within. Hes cold and calculating. Hell by the end of the movie he says "You're head of my kingdom Lawrence, you'll always be apart of my kingdom Lawrence" so it makes sense that Sir John would want to share this glory. And I'm doubly sure Sir John knew Lawrence would get out of the asylum.
As a Wolfman fan I can't hate this movie. The wolfman himself looks amazing, he's truly ferocious and scary in ways the original couldn't and while Benicio doesn't do an outstanding job, he's passable in the role and many scenes are truly awesome.
Love this one soooo much. Was honestly thinking you'd do a drop from your overhead light rafters for that Goombah Stomp bit. Now buying the extended cut so I can watch the new footage and these great BTS.

@@davidfrey08 I feel that, somewhere deep down, he still did love his father. Kind of hard to have no love for a parent, even a crappy one sometimes.
I never thought about someone who is not loved by anyone becoming a werewolf. They would be a monster in more ways than one.
This film is immensely underrated, need a sequel 🙏
Hugo Weaving as the Wolfman in the sequel would have been awesome
Yeap, it could be Hugo Weaving using his Lycanthrapy to hunt down London killer known as Jack the Ripper. Who may or may not be human.
I highly doubt that since James did mention that the movie bombed at the box office so a chance of a sequel is really thin.
It actually got😊
@@marshmello9901 the new one has nothing to do with this one & the design looks wacky af
I gotta say I really like how this has elements of Werewolf of London, The Wolf Man and An American Werewolf in London, it’s like they took bits from the 3 most influential werewolf movies to make something that’s mostly new
And Mary Poppins…don’t forget
At 10:45 I was thinking about how much the actor looked like Taika Watiti’s Blackbeard JUST as James made the Stede Bonnet joke. I love Dead Meat’s sense of humour so freaking much.
The amount of references in this movie killed me. “All dogs go to heaven” was 100% the best one😂
28:43
Missed opportunity to add Tommy Wiseau "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA"
Does anyone else rewatch kill counts that they have already watched just for the commentary the kill counts for Halloween kills and better watch out are so damn good I've literally watched them both like 6 times each love his jokes such a good commentator I can't wait for the kill counts to come out each week
I've binged every episode enough to have most of them memorized, especially the Friday the 13th recounts. 😂 The Jason Lives recount is probably my favorite episode of all time.
I love the saw kill counts. Especially saw 3 with slow ass mother f'n Jeff! I love it so much lol.
Yep!!!
The Better Watch Out kill count is so good. It has cozy vibes
Around the hollidays i always rewatch old kill counts. Dont event know why... just feels like sweet holiday vibe :D
This movie is symbolic, the fight between Lawrence and his Father speaks words, when his father tore off his clothes showing that he is no longer part of humanity but a true monster. While Lawrence keeps his clothes on showing that he is still part of humanity...
I honestly think this movie deserves more credit, it's not bad at all
Hey yo open dis door.
hey James, the audio cuts out at 22:34 and doesn't come back until 22:44. I have refreshed about 5 times and it has happened every time. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
That's odd, I watched this episode earlier and there was no audio cut.
read description
Copyright claim
Does the audio drop off at 22:34 for anyone else?
He put in the description it's because of a copyright claim
@@Blahwoof85 Ah I see.
Yes
Yes!
Yeah, Probably copyright
Anyone else lose audio at 22:39 ?
Everyone did.
Awesome! I thought something was wrong with my phone.
I did. I assume it's due to copyright.
Thanks
"The hats get stupider every shot "😂 Good movie 🤘🏾
Your "fursuit" joke and that transition before the kill count pie chart was amazing! Those alone made this kill count lol!
I like how James rips on movies but also gives credit where credit is due.
Also did the audio cut out for anyone else when he said “Good thing there’s a carriage full of cops who are willing.”?
Happened to Me too
me 2 i imagine it could be a copyright issue, one of my old videos had a portion silenced due to copyright.. shame the captions dont read either ...
This is honestly one of my favorite werewolf movies. It does have its downsides but I just love the leads performance and the effects
Despite its few flaws, I absolutely love this film, the werewolf is my second favourite after Kessler, and this was the last movie I went to see on the cinema with my grandad before he passed away, who was a huge wolfman 1941 fan and who also got me into horror, so to me this movie is so sentimental
10:56 "lawrence tells telld gwen she cant wait until the edge of tomorrow" 😂 nice one
This was the first R rated movie my parents took me to see when I was a kid, I love this movie so much and yes some of the performances were bad, but Del Toro was so great in it, the effects, and score of this film are absolutely fantastic. This movie is everything a Werewolf fan would want in the gore department it will always hold a special place on my heart.
this channel is quite literally how i find good horrors to watch, i watch like 1-2 kills and watch it if it seems interesting/good
This movie is the perfect reflection of the time in which it was made. Messy production, uneven effects that are great when good but eye-rolling when not, some performances that leave you scratching your head while others shine through, and an absolutely killer gothic setting… I really enjoyed it :-D
It’s insane to me realizing James has been a part of my life for a huge portion of my life. Thanks for making us all horror movie nerds❤️
I love horror movies, but as I grow up I find myself not having the time to enjoy these movies like I use to. The way you explain movies and just talk about them brings joy, plus I can watch a 2 hour movie in the few mins. Keep up the good work! I appreciate it!
Thanks for doing this James. The directors cut is fantastic and imo incredibly underrated. For all the incredible behind the scenes upheaval I think the film turned out pretty well.
I really love this movie. It came out around the time when I started getting into horror movies so it has a special place in my heart
22:23 - Where my sound at? James you sneaky sneak!
This werewolf moments in this movie scared the shit out of me when i was either 10 or 11 and i had a fear of werewolves.
Now for some bizarre reason in my late teens I find werewolves cool and i can appreciate this movie (most of it) for giving me the sense of being terrified.
This is exactly me
Omg I was the same! Hadn't seen much horror and thought I'd give it a go. The jump scare of that goblin kid at the end of the bed gave me nightmares 😆
I just rewatched this and remembered the “dust off the Cut Comparison” line. DOOOOO IIIIT
DO IT.
I loveedd the CC for so many reasons lol, I’d love to see it come back and see the Army of Darkness comparison
hopkins enjoyed this, and heres a quote from an interview about how he played the character:
"So I thought well I'll play it like an, a quite, a much quieter man, based on someone that I knew when I was a little boy. He was an old farmer who was kind of eccentric and he used to come to my father's bake house. My father would give him stale bread to feed his pigs, you know. And I used to follow him, he was fascinating. We, all the kids, built up this fantasy about him that he was a demon or something. He was just a harmless old man, he didn't speak very much. So I based my character on him, and on the coldness-there's one line in the script when I say to Benicio Del Toro, I say 'by the way, I'm sorry to-your brother's body was found in a ditch, on the priory road. Do you have the right clothes for the funeral?' So cold. And I liked that about him. So I pulled that coldness right through the character. But he's not particularly crazy or bad or anything, he's just eccentric and distant and ice cold"
edit: if he hadnt played it like the guy he knew, it would have been better
This movie is so beautiful, I cant stop thinking about the visuals of it. The atmosphere it gives off too. And the Wolfman is designed perfectly
Did anyone else have an audio cut from 22:34-22:45?
I'm wondering if they did in over copyright claims
@@Stamp3d3 they did
Always love kill counts; glad to finally see some love for this movie, or at least some recognition of what it was trying to do! Anyone else notice a random lack of audio/eng-subtitles around 22:34 - 22:45? Is this due to a copyright strike warning?
yep
I was looking for this comment. I wonder why no one else is talking about it. I thought it was just my phone.
In case you're wondering what the lines were before the claim, here it is:
JAMES: ...so good thing there's a carriage full of cops are more than willing.
ABERLINE: If you see Talbot, don't get caught in a conversation. Shoot him. And kill him. On site.
@@quoteonquoteclub9711 what would it be a copyright for? It’s literally just dialogue, no music. He HAS DIALOGUE in this movie that WASN’T muted lol, so how does that even make sense?
I always loved this movie, it's so much fun. Werewolves are my favourite monsters so I've got some bias. Not a lot of werewolf movies with this kind of budget behind them, even with its problems it's easily one of the more notable werewolf films. Also, the director's cut is definitely better, the theatrical version doesn't do the characters justice.
Nothing beats a Friday afternoon Kill Count. James is such an amazing presenter it's insane ♥️
afternoon where are you at its was here at 8:00
“Friday afternoon.”
My EST ass was so confused and ready to believe in time travel until I remembered time zones exist
Americans blowing their minds finding out there are other countries and time zones.
@@mattgaona7983 woah its almost like there are other time zones 🤦♀️
Same for me
the fact that i didn't know this movie existed until you decided to do these videos is why i love deadmeat so much. there are so many movies i wouldn't know about and never would have enjoyed if it wasn't for the kill counts.
13:58 can't say I expected James to say a fursuit is a work of art...
Thank you for finally spotlighting some werewolf films! I love werewolves and can't wait for you to cover An American Werewolf in London!
“Before the Silly Bobbeh”
I love this part so damn much
26:57 Werewolf Goomba-stomp through the roof!
I love Del Toro’s performance, dude is just slowly swaggering through the entire thing.
Really would love that cut comparison. Really dig the director’s cut
1:25 don't you dare talk bad about such a masterpiece
I remember going to the theater to see this. This movie isn’t perfect, but man I love this movie. I’m a sucker for werewolf movies and I can say I’ve seen this one at least a dozen times.
Gotta say, as someone with a passion for special effects, I LOVE seeing it when effects artists are properly recognized for their craft.
i started watching the movies before the kill count and it makes the experience 100 times better
18:47. Loved this "Stage Fatality" reference here.
Derbyshire is pronounced DAR-be-shur, one of the UK's many confusingly pronounced place names
Love ya James!
i heard James say “Elden Ring looking place” and i legit said out loud “O, Death. Become my Blade, Once More.”
"Several people lose limbs but not their lives..." If they survived they would have become werewolves too. I think it's safe to say they died.
Plus also good luck surviving an amputation back then, better off a goner.
Super underrated remake imo. One of my favourite werewolf portrayals ever.
That’s not him acting poorly James, that’s LITERALLY how Hopkins acts lol, that’s his style, and his tone, in EVERYTHING!
I loved this movie. I think it's underrated. I think Hopkins just played his role as John being an extremely cold man.
Loving the new set guys. It looks much more fitting for the content. You always tried to spruce up the background but you could tell it was just a wall with a cubby. I love to see the growth in the channel. I’ve been watching a long time and this channel deserves all the upward momentum it’s getting.
I thought Anthony acted fantastically. I felt like he perfectly portrayed a man who disdained his barely remaining humanity, and a father who could barely contain his contempt for his son who left him. When he's human, he barely feels like he's alive, everything seems dull. But you can see moments of excitement come into his eyes whenever something exciting is happening, like the first time people try to take Lawrence, or the couple times he talks about his monster side.
12:27 Someone tell me why “no kith” made me laugh as hard as it did 😂 lol
i'm just a big werewolf nerd so i loved this movie!! i loved the transformation!
I really love the thorough incorporation of behind the scenes clips and info! It makes the Kill Count so much more entertaining and informative, and it lets me enjoy Kill Counts way more for movies I've already seen. Man, I love this channel.
I just wanna say thanks to everyone who worked on this video. I had to be in my first lockdown for something actually threatening today, so I'm just tired and sad and scared and all of those other shitty emotions, and I really needed this today.
I was waiting for you to do a Kill Count for the Wolfman 2010.
Ik a lot of people didn’t like this but I freaking love this movie
Well you're not alone. I love this movie too
Yeah, it may not have been super well done, but it's a fun watch! I also enjoyed it
I’ve been waiting a long time
This movie is a personal favorite. I know it's not perfect but man do I have fun watching it.
Same here, buddy.
I JUST NOTICED THE OFMD REFERENCE AT 10:45 😭😭😭
I didn't know I could love this channel more 😭
Yess I love this movie! and honestly prefer it over the original one a it more. I know its far from perfect but I absolutely love the aesthetic the movie gives and gothic everything seems not to mention the acting as well.
When the kill count is half an hour long you know the movie is a bloodbath
15:00 that Derbyshire pronunciation killed me
So I saw a comment about Anthony's performance being drowsy on purpose and I agree. Sir John is bored of being a human. Its about having power to him. Hiding who he really is would most definitely be boring to him. After confessing to Lawrence he kinda let's that kid out with the harmonica and so on. He loves the wolf within. Hes cold and calculating. Hell by the end of the movie he says "You're head of my kingdom Lawrence, you'll always be apart of my kingdom Lawrence" so it makes sense that Sir John would want to share this glory. And I'm doubly sure Sir John knew Lawrence would get out of the asylum.
As a Wolfman fan I can't hate this movie. The wolfman himself looks amazing, he's truly ferocious and scary in ways the original couldn't and while Benicio doesn't do an outstanding job, he's passable in the role and many scenes are truly awesome.
Dude Cat In The Hat is a GOATED movie
Love this one soooo much. Was honestly thinking you'd do a drop from your overhead light rafters for that Goombah Stomp bit. Now buying the extended cut so I can watch the new footage and these great BTS.
I adore this movie, ive owned it on dvd ever since it came out.
22:34-22:45 has no audio for me. Did that happen to anyone else?
Everyone else, see the description.
Anyone else having an issue where @22:34 the audio cuts out?
thought my laptop crapped out there :/ glad to know its not just me
10:07 …The Hat brigade. Here’s a hat, and another hat, The hats get stupider in every shot.
15:00 "Dar-bee-shear" is closer to how locals would say it.
I would love to see either “An American Werewolf in London” or “The Howling” two movies which imo have the best wolf transformation of all time
