@@Chesterfield.Esquire98 not necessarily buddy. If you understood the mid 80s to early 90s. A lot of shit was but intentionally off the wall. You may be right on your opinion but I wouldn't be suprised if they just wanted to one up the last two movies and there isn't a "message".. But who knows, you might be right. I'm just appalled he never watched the first Return Of The Living Dead
Yeah, definitely go back and watch the first two movies. They're great. Better than the third. But for the love of god don't watch the 4th and 5th ones. They're made decades later by someone who just bought the rights to it and seems like they just went and got their kids and their friends to film the movie for as low budget as possible. And then tried to mimic the first two by having the same actors come back for a slightly different plot, but in his case it just feels like a lazy way to save on cost of props, and just reinforces the feeling like boy movies are just someones kids and their friends shooting a movie and not actual actors. The same thing happened to creepshow, someone bought the rights and did a third movie that was just total garbage. Cheap as hell, and the writing made no sense. It was like it was written by someone who has brain damage.
I reference this movie often and no one ever knows wtf I'm talking about. The best part is that Kurt keeps acting so shocked when Julie does zombie things- like, fresh surprise, every time!
Trioxin specifically is able to turn the already-dead into zombies. There's a plot point in Return of the Living Dead where trioxin-tainted rain soaks into a cemetery and all hell breaks loose.
When Melinda Clarke jumps off the bridge, at the last cut/frame I think you can see the string attached to the puppet/doll - so they could drag it back up for reshoots😂
The twist is the fact that GG never watched the first return of the living dead. One of the best comedy zombie flicks of all time. That's the fucking twist dude
@@gardetto265I’m weird cuz I know that it’s a comedy but personally I think it’s one of the most chilling zombie flicks. Like the two guys slowly dying while still conscious of it, the zombies being able to talk, the zombies being practically INVINCIBLE and the situation being all hopeless omg 😭 I don’t laugh at it I’m just spooked
Trioxin zombies aren't like traditional zombies, they don't need their brain to come back. They can be a headless corpse and it'll still resurrect so shooting them in the head doesn't really do anything, in fact they're only supposed to die by high voltage electricity or complete cremation but the movies abandoned that in the fourth one i think
The only thing about cremation is that it would release the Trioxin into the atmosphere, which can be spread to new corpses. If I remember correctly, the military even tried to nuke the town after the initial zombie out break and that just made things worse by causing Trioxin-infused acid rain. I think the only way to kill the living dead permanently in these films is by electrocution.
@@kmjl93 They used artillery not a nuke, I feel like a nuke would be enough to destroy it but after 3 they were more like normal zombies if I recall, I only ever saw the first return, 3, and bits of rave to the grave
So, the original Return of the Living Dead is the one that created the trope of zombies wanting to eat brains. Night of the Living Dead, they just eat flesh. In Return 1, zombies want to eat your brains because it's the only thing that makes them stop feeling incredible pain. So the lore that's only hinted at in a single scene from the original movie implies that by inflicting physical pain, zombies can temporarily be relieved of their pain/hunger. That's the whole crux of this film. She's using physical pain to control her hunger.
"Why do you eat people?" "Not people... BRAINS!" rotld is my favorite zombie movie, it's so good, the story, the music, the performances, the visual fx, Linnea Quigley hmhm
@@WulfsmasherThis is one of the movies that was foundational to my childhood. When she said it hurts to be dead, I remember thinking "Does it really? Oh shit. You're gonna be dead longer than you'll be alive!" Haha
I always though that bit of lore was odd, wouldn't inflicting more pain cause even greater hunger? Since the desire to eat brains is caused by intense hunger. I could be missing something though lol
SO crazy fact....I never heard of this movie...but as soon as he started showing it...I have in fact seen the movie...I actually thought it was a fever dream. Wild.
Yeah, I found it's one of those movies where the pacing is sorta slow and the movies itself is so weird that it's hard to remember whatching the movie. Like space 2001, lifeforce, prince of darkness, all of the weirdest carpenter, lynch, chronenberg movies tend to have this quality. They feel lighter fever dreams Funny fact relating to that, the first time I tried to watch life force I fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the London streets burning scene, and had the weirdest feeling of deja vu. Took me about an hour to think and try to figure it out, but I eventually realised static x sampled the audio from that scene of all the people screaming and the sound of fire, in i think their album "shadow zone". So that was extra surreal for me, so that and the scene where the zombie throws itself at the prison bars are all I remember about that movie, despite trying to watch it about a dozen times.
@@ge2719 So really fun fact I fell alseep during.....I don't even recal lthe movie I fell asleep through but my friend dragged me to the theater to see it...and I wound up dreaming the movie and it's the only reason why I know what happened...but can't tell you any singular character of that movie...

George Romero and John Russo both wrote Night of the Living Dead... then they had a falling out and John Russo kept the Living Dead part and made Return of the Living Dead and sequels... all of the George Romero sequels couldn't use Living Dead in the titles, so that's his movies are called Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, etc. I consider them all diverging sequels to Night of the Living Dead.
They didn't have a falling out. I don't know why people keep pushing that. George wanted to do other things and John wanted to do other things. They never stopped talking and were even talking when the Day of the Dead distributor was trying to sue Orion to stop the release of Return of the Living Dead claiming it would confuse audiences. Both of them thought that it was ridiculous. Return of the Living Dead wasn't even Russo's story, Dan O'Bannon had completely scrapped and rewrote the story
@@lutherheggs451 right? They were just 2 dudes who wanted to tell different stories. Its that simple. But i guess its more interesting to hear that they hated each other, for some reason
It is absolutely WILD to think that this is connected to Night of the Living Dead. Not calling it worse, it's just hard to wrap my head around how we got from point A to point B.
In the "Return Of The Living Dead" universe, a head shot does not kill a zombie. You have to destroy the entire body. The thing about that is, if you burn them, the chemicals go into the air, become vapor, then, when it rains, it goes widespread, reviving all the dead as it covers everything and seeps into the ground. So, basically, you're shit out of luck.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who watched super odd movies as a kid. I don’t remember their names anymore but sometimes I’ll have a VERY vivid memory of a random movie playing on the TV I was too young to watch. Thanks for the banger content, GG!
I loved all three of these movies as a kid didn’t remember till I was 15. I love them knowing they’re was a child hood tie. I went through the same thing with Devil May cry.
Zombies created via 2-4-5 Trioxin and Trioxin 5 can be killed. With electrocution and cremation being able to end those created via the original Trioxin and Trioxin 5 zombies were killed by gunshots and blunt force trauma to the body.
@@whileistaysecluded Its really not at all. Its never not been highly regarded. The first 2 are highly watchable, Part 3 is dog shit that rips off Romeo and Juliet, only has 6 zombies in the entire movie. NOBODY talks about the 2 SyFy sequels filmed in Romania, but atleast they had more than 6 zombies in them
In part one, cremating the zombies turned them into a trioxin type smoke that can mix with rain and bring the dead back to life. So essentially, they f'd everyone by opening the filter.
I still skip them because they're all shit products or mobile games aside from like maybe Nord. I appreciate the effort GG puts into sponsor ads, but that effort would be better spent on something actually worth promoting. It's super disingenuous promoting garbage to your audience for a bag.
I zoned out a bit at the end so I wasn't listen to what he was actually saying except "Mr.GG" and I was like why's he calling out Mr.GG?!😂.... Untilll I realized it's the code🤦🏼♀️ Shout out to RWJ
@@shoobydoo I just never buy anything youtubers promote because there's a 90% chance it's either dogshit or a scam. I never blame them unless its actively harmful because they need to get paid somehow, especially channels that make not so child-friendly content.
Fun facts: River Man is the actor who plays the Jamaican drug lord Screwface in the Steven Seagal classic “Marked for Death.” Also think I noticed the actress who played Ursa, General Zod’s second in command, in Superman 1 and 2 (the ones with Christopher Reeve) as the woman in the army who tells Kurt’s dad that he is “no longer part of this effort!” I love movies from this time period, even the schlocky horror/bad action ones.
I remember this movie making me feel queasy as a child and for the life of me I could not remember the name of the movie. Thank you Mista GG for bringing these core memories back!
THANK YOU for covering this movie! I've been wondering for YEARS what the movie where she says she's hungry but doesn't know what she's craving but she'll know it when she tastes it then she goes to town on some snowballs was.
I watched this a few months ago. I really loved it. It's 100 percent 90's cheese. There's definitely some toxic relationship themes at work here. And the whole self harm aspect is actually really interesting in zombie context. And holy shit, the female lead is the number one zombie wife. No question.
I remember watching this as a kid. The fun fact: The redheaded main character was the mom from the O.C. series and ''Lady Heather'' from the series C.S.I. Just early days in her career!
Return of the Living Dead 1 was basically the best one, but I can tell people like the more lighthearted side of zombie flicks now that the dark and gritty has been done to literal death. One thing you nearly got to the point of with your previous horror movie vid, was the fact Hollywood doesn't make horror films for a R rating anymore. They make it PG-13 to get the max amount of tickets. It's called "safe scary" and it's the worst thing ever.
This reminds me of this film that I saw very late at night maybe 25 years ago. All I remember is that the boyfriend had a robot they used to play ding dong ditch until a neighbor shot it. And the girlfriend was being abused by her father who ended up killing her. So her boyfriend put the robot microchip in her brain. Murderous rampage ensues.
GG you definitely need to watch 1 & 2. It'll clear up any confusion you might have when it comes to the lore and how Trioxin works. The first Rotld is absolutely awesome and a definite must see for anyone that likes a good mix of comedy and horror. The second one, imo, is good and does have some great moments but just doesn't hit as hard as the first. Still a good watch though, and it has one of my favorite one liners from any movie; "Git this damn screwdriver.. OUTTA MY HEAD!!"
I remember seeing the VHS box in the horror section of my local video rental shop. Always caught my attention but never went for it. Glad to 'revisit' it w you GG
At the end of the movie when they are burning, it is canonical in the series that you can incinerate them, but you are supposed to use a special filter to stop more of the chemical from spreading
I think in the original living dead movie burning the bodies just sends the chemicals into the air to rain back down. Bringing back anything dead like an entire cemetery in the first movie.
I only remember the poster for this movie and wondered what the hell this was. I've only seen Return of the Living Dead 1 (Trash is best girl) and the sequels (Rave to the Grave and Necropolis). This movie looks so 90s it hurts and I can't believe I haven't seen it yet. Also, if you recognize Melinda Clarke, she was Jessica Priest in the 1997 Spawn movie.
Dude. I've been trying to find the name of this movie for the longest time. I only remembered the scene where they have that motorcycle accident and the chick dies. I can now sleep happily tonight, thank you Mista GG.
When I was very young, I remember watching this and certain scenes like the ending sticking with me. I have been searching for this movie for probably over 10 ten years, but I could never find the name with the little bits of information I remembered. Thank you so much for finding it for me.
" I got to blur so much".. I have got to see this movie!!!! " It's topside sex we should be okay" something I never thought I'd hear from a youtuber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why I subscribed years ago!!!!
I highly recommend watching the first one, too. It's my favorite zombie film since I was a kid and the oil drum zombie terrified me. They do a lot of cool lore things in that film, too with the zombies. The Return of the Living Dead series always does great zombie designs more than just 'human with dead eyes and some blood'
I remembered the spring through the flesh in the sewers scene for like 20 years and was so happy to finally find this movie again. I never knew the name.
So idk how it was back then but at least nowadays, some bases aren’t as uptight about security as others. At the base I’m at right everyone is required to have an ID to enter but not if you’re only going to the housing area. At a base overseas where my friend worked her guests didn’t need military IDs as long as the driver did
I’ve never seen this movie but I remember seeing that VHS cover at a tiny rental place near my house growing up. Your thumbnail brought those memories back.
I didn't know about the unrated version until well after a decade of watching it the first time. It's so much better seeing the uncut version with a lot more zombie carnage that I wasn't even aware was missing from it.
In this series any part of the body remains alive unless completely destroyed. You can split a creature completely down the middle the long way and both halves will be zombified. So that dude getting domed means fuck all
suggested movies I watched as kid when i should’ve been sleeping: “ Class of 1999” released in 1990 (which i think you would actually like) or Rock and Roll High school, which makes me feel like I’m in a fever dream released in 1991 starring Corey Feldman.
The actor that plays the secret program military dad of the main character in this movie also plays a secret program military dad of the main character in the tv show Farscape on sci-fi channel. That’s oddly/weirdly specific type casting. 21:34
I love this movie. Obviously not any award winning parts of it but it's very memorable. From the transformation of the girl to the zombies being used as weapons.
Those random movie channels movie plex or whatever and then the random Canadian channels from across Lake Erie that would come in late at night were my favorite growing up
Jesus christ... i actually remeber seeing this movie when i was at the beach on vacation with my family in like 2002-3 😨 this nostalgic hit is actually crazy!!!
DUDE! I remember when my dad got cable, we had only 4 channels up until that point, the second he got it and there were like 100 channels my little mind was absolutely blown, tbh it's the only reason I learned English so young
Yeah, it took me awhile to finally realize where I had seen Lady Heather (CSI) before. It’s kinda cool that Melinda Clarke hasn’t been typed cast….. (lol)
Return of the living dead part 3 is not my favorite of the franchise but the first 2 are my all time favorites when it comes to uniqueness. The first movie they had a zombie call for an immediste assistance just for the other zombies ambush the newly arrived cops and eat them, now that's a move I haven't seen from the zombie genre yet😂
Super underrated inclusion into the Return franchise Melinda Clark was one of my first crushes as a kid, although that was because of her role as Jessica Priest in spawn, but either way I still remember seeing the cover to this film at 8 years old and thinking damn she has some gorgeous eyes. Love these the return movies, the zombies from the first one and sequels are probably in my opinion the scariest concept for the undead, despite being played mostly humorously. The idea of being dead and feeling you body rot, just terrifying. And the thing about whether fire will kill then is answered sort of in the previous films.
I love vaguely remembering some things from a movie I saw as a young kid then going back to the movie and seeing how much of it I missed, didn't understand, misinterpreted, etc. I just did that last week with "The Blue Lagoon". What I remembered from seeing it as a tiny kid in the 80s was not accurate. I thought it was WAY more pornographic. But the bug crawling out of the guys mouth part was accurately etched in my memory for life. At one part she steps on a fish that looks like a rock. For some reason when I was a kid I thought that was what made her pregnant. I understood way more with the rewatch... and think the people that "rescued" them at the end are terrible people. They were living in paradise!
Between TNT and early Netflix streaming (via the Wii app, of course), I watched some weird movies as a kid/teen. One of my favorites is Lake Placid, which I watched when I was about 10 with no concept it was rated R. Yet I insisted I had to wait till I was 13 to watch Jaws (TNT used to put up some warning that I apparently only applied to certain movies).
Holy shit u just brought back nostalgia that I truly pushed to the back on my memory! I watched this movie as a kid too. And I could remember parts of it but I never remember what friggin movie it was!! 😂😂 I watched ALOT of weird horror movies when I was a kid lol thanks GG, now I’m bout to go watch this shit 😂
I saw this movie when I was young, not knowing what it was called. Now I finally know it because of your video! Thank you. This felt like a forgotten memory.
Short explanation. The first one explains that we have zombies all wrong: they say they're fast, completely unable to be killed, burning them makes the situation worse, oh, yeah, and they talk ("Brains" comes from ROTLD). Anyway, the first one is a horror-comedy masterpiece and you'll love the character Trash. The second one is like a weird remake of the first (no Trash, but great kills). 1 and 3 are definitely the best of the series.
I must tell you about an older movie, absolute over the top, thriller. It is subtitled. From Japan or somewhere like that. It's called ' Thirst '. Nothing has ever been like this movie. You will 'oh no" and trash to threads! My weird as all time favorite! Please find it and do your magic! You are the unreplaceable best. ❤
Yeah, Trioxin 245 Zombies are the most durable zombies in all media, you can shoot them in the head, cut them in half, they'll still keep going. I think I remember it being explained that every nerve can function as a brain, so even if you cut off a hand, it'll keep crawling towards you. Completely incinerating them works...but the Trioxin actually stays active even through the extreme temperatures, and will integrate into clouds, then infect bodies through rainwater, that's how Return of the Living Dead 2 happened.
I remember my mom and dad loved horror movies so they would buy the movie sets with like 10 super low budget horror movies in them, and i remember this movie in particular for some reason

I still skip them because they're all shit products or mobile games aside from like maybe Nord. I appreciate the effort GG puts into sponsor ads, but that effort would be better spent on something actually worth promoting. It's super disingenuous promoting garbage to your audience for a bag.
I zoned out a bit at the end so I wasn't listen to what he was actually saying except "Mr.GG" and I was like why's he calling out Mr.GG?!😂.... Untilll I realized it's the code🤦🏼♀️ Shout out to RWJ
@@shoobydoo I just never buy anything youtubers promote because there's a 90% chance it's either dogshit or a scam. I never blame them unless its actively harmful because they need to get paid somehow, especially channels that make not so child-friendly content.
The fact he's never watched the original geniunely upsets me
Haha foreal entertaining all the time 😂 these ain't just ads they're skits
Fun facts: River Man is the actor who plays the Jamaican drug lord Screwface in the Steven Seagal classic “Marked for Death.”
Also think I noticed the actress who played Ursa, General Zod’s second in command, in Superman 1 and 2 (the ones with Christopher Reeve) as the woman in the army who tells Kurt’s dad that he is “no longer part of this effort!” I love movies from this time period, even the schlocky horror/bad action ones.

Melinda Clarke was the MVP of this film for sure. And she was in Spawn which is also underrated!
I remember this movie making me feel queasy as a child and for the life of me I could not remember the name of the movie. Thank you Mista GG for bringing these core memories back!

0:25 wow finally someone else who's seen that movie
THANK YOU for covering this movie! I've been wondering for YEARS what the movie where she says she's hungry but doesn't know what she's craving but she'll know it when she tastes it then she goes to town on some snowballs was.
The way I absolutely LOST IT at "You can call me River Man" 😅😂😂😭😭😭

I watched this a few months ago. I really loved it. It's 100 percent 90's cheese. There's definitely some toxic relationship themes at work here. And the whole self harm aspect is actually really interesting in zombie context. And holy shit, the female lead is the number one zombie wife. No question.
21:34
I remember watching this as a kid. The fun fact: The redheaded main character was the mom from the O.C. series and ''Lady Heather'' from the series C.S.I. Just early days in her career!
I highly recommend that you watch the whole series because it's just so ridiculous and hilarious
River Man is giving The Hammer crossed with The Jackal. I wonder if that could've been partial inspiration for the designs in 13 Ghosts... 🤔

Return of the Living Dead 1 was basically the best one, but I can tell people like the more lighthearted side of zombie flicks now that the dark and gritty has been done to literal death.
One thing you nearly got to the point of with your previous horror movie vid, was the fact Hollywood doesn't make horror films for a R rating anymore.
They make it PG-13 to get the max amount of tickets.
It's called "safe scary" and it's the worst thing ever.
This reminds me of this film that I saw very late at night maybe 25 years ago. All I remember is that the boyfriend had a robot they used to play ding dong ditch until a neighbor shot it. And the girlfriend was being abused by her father who ended up killing her. So her boyfriend put the robot microchip in her brain. Murderous rampage ensues.
That was Deadly Friend by Wes Craven. 87 I think?

@@Scudboy17 you rock I'm gonna find it! I don't think I ever saw the ending!
GG you definitely need to watch 1 & 2. It'll clear up any confusion you might have when it comes to the lore and how Trioxin works. The first Rotld is absolutely awesome and a definite must see for anyone that likes a good mix of comedy and horror. The second one, imo, is good and does have some great moments but just doesn't hit as hard as the first. Still a good watch though, and it has one of my favorite one liners from any movie;
"Git this damn screwdriver.. OUTTA MY HEAD!!"
4:24 “Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Eh, alright.”
Like, EXACTLY the way a parent would say it 🤣
I remember seeing the VHS box in the horror section of my local video rental shop. Always caught my attention but never went for it. Glad to 'revisit' it w you GG
This video is so good it took down my subscriptions and playlists the second it was posted
Holy shit!! That happened to me too!! 🤨😂
Oh no! Brian peck is in this movie ! The timing! He is the guy in the white coat that gets his fingers bite off.
I thought he was only in the first one as Scuz (one of the punks), I didn't realize he was in the third one too!
@@thinecuprunnethoverwithblood yeah he was in all 3 movies. He was the Michael Jackson zombie in return of the living dead part two.
21:24
Unfortunate. He very nearly ruined pickles for me as a child.
These vids end up popping up at the best times for helping me get through every bit of rough stuff!! Appreciate you dude
The way that thumbnail unlocked a core memory for me…

At the end of the movie when they are burning, it is canonical in the series that you can incinerate them, but you are supposed to use a special filter to stop more of the chemical from spreading
I think in the original living dead movie burning the bodies just sends the chemicals into the air to rain back down. Bringing back anything dead like an entire cemetery in the first movie.
I only remember the poster for this movie and wondered what the hell this was.
I've only seen Return of the Living Dead 1 (Trash is best girl) and the sequels (Rave to the Grave and Necropolis).
This movie looks so 90s it hurts and I can't believe I haven't seen it yet.
Also, if you recognize Melinda Clarke, she was Jessica Priest in the 1997 Spawn movie.
Dude. I've been trying to find the name of this movie for the longest time. I only remembered the scene where they have that motorcycle accident and the chick dies. I can now sleep happily tonight, thank you Mista GG.
"1993 hereditary" undertated joke was very underrated. Good one GG.
Honestly, a movie I want Mista GG to experience? Repo: The Genetic Opera.

Yes

I used to have the poster of that Zombie girl.
She was the feature of Fangoria magazine around that time.
When I was very young, I remember watching this and certain scenes like the ending sticking with me.
I have been searching for this movie for probably over 10 ten years, but I could never find the name with the little bits of information I remembered.
Thank you so much for finding it for me.
" I got to blur so much".. I have got to see this movie!!!! " It's topside sex we should be okay" something I never thought I'd hear from a youtuber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why I subscribed years ago!!!!
You ok there bud lol?
You unlocked memories I forgot I had with that extendo-neck zombie
Already know this about to be a great rewatchable video
Justice for River man!

"Send more paramedics" If you don't know, you don't know.
22:02 it does in the 1st movie, but there they burned a corpse and it turned them into rain clouds, that revived the corpse in a cementery.
I highly recommend watching the first one, too. It's my favorite zombie film since I was a kid and the oil drum zombie terrified me. They do a lot of cool lore things in that film, too with the zombies. The Return of the Living Dead series always does great zombie designs more than just 'human with dead eyes and some blood'
I remembered the spring through the flesh in the sewers scene for like 20 years and was so happy to finally find this movie again. I never knew the name.
So idk how it was back then but at least nowadays, some bases aren’t as uptight about security as others. At the base I’m at right everyone is required to have an ID to enter but not if you’re only going to the housing area. At a base overseas where my friend worked her guests didn’t need military IDs as long as the driver did
River Man deserves his own movie.

I’ve never seen this movie but I remember seeing that VHS cover at a tiny rental place near my house growing up. Your thumbnail brought those memories back.
I didn't know about the unrated version until well after a decade of watching it the first time. It's so much better seeing the uncut version with a lot more zombie carnage that I wasn't even aware was missing from it.
In this series any part of the body remains alive unless completely destroyed. You can split a creature completely down the middle the long way and both halves will be zombified. So that dude getting domed means fuck all
suggested movies I watched as kid when i should’ve been sleeping:
“ Class of 1999” released in 1990 (which i think you would actually like) or Rock and Roll High school, which makes me feel like I’m in a fever dream released in 1991 starring Corey Feldman.
The actor that plays the secret program military dad of the main character in this movie also plays a secret program military dad of the main character in the tv show Farscape on sci-fi channel. That’s oddly/weirdly specific type casting. 21:34
I watched this movie on VHS a TON!!! The lead actress was also in an episode of 'Seinfeld' if that hasn't already been mentioned.
The first Return Of The Living Dead is CLASSIC! The second and third are pretty good too.
8:24 "YOU SHOT HIM, YOU SHITTER" well fuck, that's gonna be a thing i repeat a lot now lol
I love this movie. Obviously not any award winning parts of it but it's very memorable. From the transformation of the girl to the zombies being used as weapons.
I’m gonna have to watch this for real cause I need to see the sfx makeup from the way you were looking at some of those scenes
Can you freaking NOOBS subscribe to this man so he can get 1M subs??? JC already. He's earned it..........🤷♂️
This is a classic. The Zombie punch in the face is hilarious.
Those random movie channels movie plex or whatever and then the random Canadian channels from across Lake Erie that would come in late at night were my favorite growing up
Jesus christ... i actually remeber seeing this movie when i was at the beach on vacation with my family in like 2002-3 😨 this nostalgic hit is actually crazy!!!
DUDE! I remember when my dad got cable, we had only 4 channels up until that point, the second he got it and there were like 100 channels my little mind was absolutely blown, tbh it's the only reason I learned English so young
1:00 witnessing Melinda Clarke in Spawn was a transformative experience for me at 13
Oh my gods I think this is the series I need to rewatch for a scene that’s been haunting me since I was a kid!!
Mindy Clarke steals the show in this. A definitely underrated direct to video sequel.
Nothing better than binging all Mista’s Horror movies I’ve never heard of reviews, just to see a fresh GG just dropped!!
The Living Dead movies always scared the frick out of me with the zombies. Theirs were so gnarly looking. Love it.
Yeah, it took me awhile to finally realize where I had seen Lady Heather (CSI) before. It’s kinda cool that Melinda Clarke hasn’t been typed cast….. (lol)
This was the first movie that I couldn't finish. I didn't even rewind the VHS before returning it.
First time browsing Netflix, 2011, I saw this movie available and I didn't hesitate. It became my first online streamed movie.
Return of the living dead part 3 is not my favorite of the franchise but the first 2 are my all time favorites when it comes to uniqueness.
The first movie they had a zombie call for an immediste assistance just for the other zombies ambush the newly arrived cops and eat them, now that's a move I haven't seen from the zombie genre yet😂
Nah I love Held Up. “The reeeeason…the reason that we’re heeeeere!”
The store clerk got "infected" by zombie T when she was slurping up his brains. That's what I always assumed anyways.
Super underrated inclusion into the Return franchise Melinda Clark was one of my first crushes as a kid, although that was because of her role as Jessica Priest in spawn, but either way I still remember seeing the cover to this film at 8 years old and thinking damn she has some gorgeous eyes.
Love these the return movies, the zombies from the first one and sequels are probably in my opinion the scariest concept for the undead, despite being played mostly humorously. The idea of being dead and feeling you body rot, just terrifying. And the thing about whether fire will kill then is answered sort of in the previous films.
I love vaguely remembering some things from a movie I saw as a young kid then going back to the movie and seeing how much of it I missed, didn't understand, misinterpreted, etc. I just did that last week with "The Blue Lagoon". What I remembered from seeing it as a tiny kid in the 80s was not accurate. I thought it was WAY more pornographic. But the bug crawling out of the guys mouth part was accurately etched in my memory for life. At one part she steps on a fish that looks like a rock. For some reason when I was a kid I thought that was what made her pregnant. I understood way more with the rewatch... and think the people that "rescued" them at the end are terrible people. They were living in paradise!
Between TNT and early Netflix streaming (via the Wii app, of course), I watched some weird movies as a kid/teen. One of my favorites is Lake Placid, which I watched when I was about 10 with no concept it was rated R. Yet I insisted I had to wait till I was 13 to watch Jaws (TNT used to put up some warning that I apparently only applied to certain movies).
I'm so glad I get to see this before it gets taken down 💖
Holy shit u just brought back nostalgia that I truly pushed to the back on my memory! I watched this movie as a kid too. And I could remember parts of it but I never remember what friggin movie it was!! 😂😂 I watched ALOT of weird horror movies when I was a kid lol thanks GG, now I’m bout to go watch this shit 😂
I saw this movie when I was young, not knowing what it was called. Now I finally know it because of your video! Thank you. This felt like a forgotten memory.
Short explanation. The first one explains that we have zombies all wrong: they say they're fast, completely unable to be killed, burning them makes the situation worse, oh, yeah, and they talk ("Brains" comes from ROTLD). Anyway, the first one is a horror-comedy masterpiece and you'll love the character Trash. The second one is like a weird remake of the first (no Trash, but great kills). 1 and 3 are definitely the best of the series.
I REMEMBER POMPEII PETE OMFG I still sing his little jingle every once in a while 😂
You have no idea how terrifyingly common it is people lose those key cards…
I must tell you about an older movie, absolute over the top, thriller. It is subtitled. From Japan or somewhere like that. It's called
' Thirst '. Nothing has ever been like this movie. You will 'oh no" and trash to threads!
My weird as all time favorite! Please find it and do your magic! You are the unreplaceable best. ❤
7:52 I haven’t seen or thought of OctoDad in ages
Your dialogue always makes me giggle. Its just so casual its awesome.
I like the first one with "rodney dangerfield?"opening the barrell with the dead thing turning everybody to zombies. That one was hilarious 😂😂
Yeah, Trioxin 245 Zombies are the most durable zombies in all media, you can shoot them in the head, cut them in half, they'll still keep going. I think I remember it being explained that every nerve can function as a brain, so even if you cut off a hand, it'll keep crawling towards you. Completely incinerating them works...but the Trioxin actually stays active even through the extreme temperatures, and will integrate into clouds, then infect bodies through rainwater, that's how Return of the Living Dead 2 happened.
I remember my mom and dad loved horror movies so they would buy the movie sets with like 10 super low budget horror movies in them, and i remember this movie in particular for some reason
what a blast from the past; I remembered this movie giving me nightmares as a kid but thanks to you I now know the movie's name.
In the Return of the Living dead, zombies dont die ever. And smoked zombies just make trioxin gas witch rises dead bodies
My favorite always on (I think) Cinemax movie growing up was Mean Guns with Christopher Lambert. Love that movie.
