She is a much, much, more popular video reviewer than myself. Plus, she is a friend so doing this was a lot of fun. Really, she was doing me a favor by being in this.
The director Jerome Gary was a successful producer before Traxx, contrary to what the video states. He produced the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary Pumping Iron 1977.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, tv is such a mess anymore. There are a few shows worth watching but more often than not the good ones get cancelled and replaced with reality tv garbage.
Thank you sir! Loved the movie and thought more people needed to be aware of it. A shame the studio just didn't have as much faith in it as they should. In a more perfect world, it should have launched your movie career. They also need to get this thing on DVD already! You are very welcome. You're a class act with an amazing voice. All the best.
"Was it a racial incident?" "Very racial. Whoever did it hit at least one of everything so no one race can bitch about discrimination." LMAO!!! This line had me ROLLIN! Fuck me! They had PC murderers in the 90's?!? I swear that would've been a product of today's world. I guess that guy was ahead of his time.
I love the production values this video, two recordings slapped together of two people giving their reviews is as high end as a lot of the effects in the films reviewed on this channel :D
When I was a kid a buddy of mine had a poster for this movie. Could have never imagined the kind of rabbit hole that was behind it. Never seen it or even seen a copy of it in the video store back in the day. Now I gotta see it.
I asked her? She contacted me last year to let me know she liked my work. We got to chatting and became friends. Since I was already well aware of her work (which I enjoy) I thought it would be cool to do a video together. We cover similar movies so doing this just made sense. It was a lot of fun.
I love checking through old Goodbadflicks reviews, you can always turn up a movie that you want to see! Definitely one of the best channels on RUclips!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Your synergy with Lupa is great. So great that I decided to check out her Blip page and was hooked! She's awesome!
I'm so glad you mentioned Time Trax. Strangely enough I've been watching that and Renegade whenever I get a chance these past couple of months. 90's TV is the best.
Time Trax was a great show. I was bummed they never were able to finish out the series. Renegade! I was just talking about that last week. That and Xena.
13:10 The bad guy’s son, who, despite being the bad guy’s son and sort of perverted, and Traxx being a cold-blooded sociopath, Traxx shows him a lot of mercy.
No intention of doing so. I've never done a crossover before and since Allison and I cover similar movies, we thought it would be fun to do. (and it was) Plus she has a much, much larger audience than I do. So by doing this one video my views (on Blip) quadrupled. I'm just trying to do some new stuff every once in a while. I think after 3 years only doing 1 crossover is pretty admirable. :)
An excellent review...funny and entertaining. You described everything perfectly-lame and awesome-really bad and oddly funny-the weirdest thing I've ever done-and I've done some pretty weird stuff. Two things: Willard's name is pronounced Pew...and the script was never serious. It was actually very funny and DeLaurentis thought it was going to be the next Crocodile Dundee. To my horror, Gary began rewriting and making it kooky on the set. Thanks for the review. We needed you 25 years ago.
3:02 It's not "murder" if they're enemy combatants. If they're cartel minions, that makes them enemy combatants. 3:33 That's not how a beret is worn. The insignia should go over the left eye and the draped material should go over the right ear. Also, berets aren't worn in combat or while on duty. They're only worn for formal occasions. 16:11 Looks like he's attempting to channel Mel Gibson.
The movie was an oddity that it didn't show a lot of death but frequently showed the aftermath. In this scene he's driving through town shooting everyone but you don't see them dying. Then, shortly after is the trash truck scene where he has all the bodies strung up.
The amorality of Traxx is what ruined it for me. It’s too bad because apart from that, I really loved how eighties this movie is, and its unselfconscious pursuit of showing cool things happening.
Shadow Stevens' daughter is Amber Stevens West of "Rule The World" on Starz. Amber is married to actor Andrew J West who played evil Gareth on "The Walking Dead" the 'Terminus' season (the cannibal community)
I did some extra work in the 90's, I met shadoe on the set of death artist, I'm in the background, he seemed like a nice guy, he was also a dj and program director on kroq radio in LA was one of the originals along with jed the fish, also the federated commercials which he also produced
Loved this review the first time and I liked it again. This movie is so cool and I was shocked it was the Craig Ferguson announcer. Also it shows how sad hollywood is it is slightly better now but still most actors only really get one shot.
This is the definition of it's so bad it's good + this was like scary movie parody but with action cop movies! you two make a good team how come you guys never collaborated again?!?
That's too bad. There are some terrible movies that still get released on DVD. Well, it wouldn't be the first time HBO sat on something and refused to release it. Wow, that B movie bingo sounds fantastic. I would have loved to have seen this on the big screen. Oh well, maybe it will make its way out to one of the venues on the East Coast.
Was having a weird kind of day in the "New Normal World" and thought to my self I haven't had any Traxx in my life recently.best line "Dieter lost a litre"
Lets see, Power Rangers, Ghoulies, and the original Rollerball should be coming sometime over the next year. I still have to see Ready to Rumble. I love Mallrats but Kevin's stuff is pretty well known already. Nah to Look who's talking...also Ernest films, while I like them, have been done to death. I did Critters a while back but due to some youtube nonsense, you can only see it on my site. (link above the comments)
I spoke to Shadoe Stevens about it and he says the rights holder refuses to sell but has no interest in doing anything with the film. So, unless they change their mind it seems the film will not be on DVD anytime soon.
"I'd like to hear that from the puppies family." Unexpected response and hilarious 😂
She is a much, much, more popular video reviewer than myself. Plus, she is a friend so doing this was a lot of fun. Really, she was doing me a favor by being in this.
Yeah, not so much. Trust me if she can get attention throwing you under a bus, she would have done it already.
The director Jerome Gary was a successful producer before Traxx, contrary to what the video states. He produced the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary Pumping Iron 1977.
And this is of course not a "so bad it is good" movie, it is simply an overlooked satirical gem. All the humour _is_ intentional.
And by now you're much, much more popular than her (not surprising though)
Thanks for watching! Yeah, tv is such a mess anymore. There are a few shows worth watching but more often than not the good ones get cancelled and replaced with reality tv garbage.
This is basically a R-rated Sledgehammer.
Butcher Seven Actual Oh man, Sledge Hammer was a criminally underrated series . . .
The mayors answer to the "Was this a racial incident" question.
Her line should be textbook on every police press conference these days!
Thank you sir! Loved the movie and thought more people needed to be aware of it. A shame the studio just didn't have as much faith in it as they should. In a more perfect world, it should have launched your movie career. They also need to get this thing on DVD already! You are very welcome. You're a class act with an amazing voice. All the best.
After 3 minutes I quit watching this and searched for the full film on RUclips and I'm glad I did.
Shortly after watching this hilarious episode, I actually found TRAXX on RUclips. It is absolutely WTAF insane!
"Was it a racial incident?"
"Very racial. Whoever did it hit at least one of everything so no one race can bitch about discrimination."
LMAO!!! This line had me ROLLIN! Fuck me! They had PC murderers in the 90's?!? I swear that would've been a product of today's world. I guess that guy was ahead of his time.
Thanks!
Maximum Overdrive is a total classic. A movie I can watch over and over.
I love the production values this video, two recordings slapped together of two people giving their reviews is as high end as a lot of the effects in the films reviewed on this channel :D
When I was a kid a buddy of mine had a poster for this movie. Could have never imagined the kind of rabbit hole that was behind it. Never seen it or even seen a copy of it in the video store back in the day. Now I gotta see it.
"Look up there! Gonorrhea!" I busted out laughing when I heard that line
The level of dual smart assery was something I expected. But the heartfelt buying into B and C movie trash, chef’s kiss.
I asked her?
She contacted me last year to let me know she liked my work. We got to chatting and became friends. Since I was already well aware of her work (which I enjoy) I thought it would be cool to do a video together. We cover similar movies so doing this just made sense. It was a lot of fun.
No Holds Barred coming before the end of the year
THAT REVIEW GOT
SCREWED IN THE ASS
BY THE
WWE
Dude this is ahead of its time, this 80s film its actually a parody of all the 80s cinema
I love checking through old Goodbadflicks reviews, you can always turn up a movie that you want to see! Definitely one of the best channels on RUclips!
Thanks!
@@GoodBadFlicks a reply on a video you put out 6 YEARS ago! Now that's dedication, thank you for the reply!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Your synergy with Lupa is great. So great that I decided to check out her Blip page and was hooked! She's awesome!
Shade Draws Thanks! She is super cool, and a genuinely nice person. :)
I'm not saying to go and be a pirate...but there is a whole bay of those things out there...
hehehehe
What is the song at the end please?
There's worse crimes....like killing PUppies.
I'm so glad you mentioned Time Trax. Strangely enough I've been watching that and Renegade whenever I get a chance these past couple of months. 90's TV is the best.

I'm just trying to do some new stuff every once in a while. I think after 3 years only doing 1 crossover is pretty admirable. :)
Boy I bet you feel stupid now, knowing how shitty she is. Sorry but you know its the truth man lol

AWESOME
This poster was up at the video store I worked at, the whole time I worked there (91-93). I haven't thought of it since then.
And I thought I was just wasted and ready to laugh the first time I watched this flick. Why didn't MST3K ever lampoon this movie?
DocGriffon theres still hope Rifftrax may get it one day
Oh Dear Jesus, best episode ever.
Baires Moreno :)
thank you for doing Good Bad Flicks, you have given my wife and I something else to watch together seeing how TV is such a wasteland
3:02 It's not "murder" if they're enemy combatants. If they're cartel minions, that makes them enemy combatants.

"No one's gonna eat Meat Cookies."
-"Why not? They eat Meat Pies."
I would like to add that as of right now, 6/20/2019, you can find this glorious piece of cinema here on youtube ^_^
Awesome..
This needs to be added to my collection, along with gymkata
The movie was an oddity that it didn't show a lot of death but frequently showed the aftermath. In this scene he's driving through town shooting everyone but you don't see them dying. Then, shortly after is the trash truck scene where he has all the bodies strung up.
Seems HBO is currently sitting on it.
Wait, so with the cookie thing, the song really could have been if you want some snacks go to traxx?
what a wasted oppatunity
Thanks! Its so weird now how many of what is considered A list stinks by comparison of the actors and actresses of old.
Thanks!
running over the hospital patient is so Death Race 2000!
The whole movie sounds like Saints Row. In Saints Row the Third, you even defeat the secondary villain (in one alternative ending) with jars of farts.
I was about to say the same thing.
I never realized Shadoe Stevens was the announcer for The Late, Late Show, but I remember Max Monroe, Loose Cannon.
I remember seeing this movie Traxx
A long time ago on Cinemax
See that? I could've been in this movie!
So far this is the most nihilistic review that i have ever seen, but combined with the nihilistic tone of the movie is also the most hilarious.
In due time.
6:41 he almost impaled his right hand on the barber's shears!
How can I have missed this?!?
I had no idea Shadoe Stevens was involved in a movie. I vaguely remember him doing commercials back in the day when I was a kid.
17:13 - actually hoisted by their own petard.
Great review by the way...makes me want to see this gem.
another amazing movie filmed in my home town lol
The amorality of Traxx is what ruined it for me. It’s too bad because apart from that, I really loved how eighties this movie is, and its unselfconscious pursuit of showing cool things happening.
fair enough
I totally forgot Allison use to go by the name Obscurus Lupa.
Shadow Stevens' daughter is Amber Stevens West of "Rule The World" on Starz. Amber is married to actor Andrew J West who played evil Gareth on "The Walking Dead" the 'Terminus' season (the cannibal community)
The suggested body armor (if you can't get kevlar) is ikea tables. They can even take a tomahawk missile ;-)
alexleinbach IKEA needs to start advertising this
I know right? They would make a killing by selling it to militaries as cover and to navies to protect the ships from missiles!
I did some extra work in the 90's, I met shadoe on the set of death artist, I'm in the background, he seemed like a nice guy, he was also a dj and program director on kroq radio in LA was one of the originals along with jed the fish, also the federated commercials which he also produced
IF YOU HAVE SOME CRACK, GIVE IT TO TRAXX!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 1min and 6 seconds in to this video and I'm sold. Now I'll have to go and find this.
***** you won't be disappointed!
This... this is amazing. Thank you both for this great review, I'm so checking this out. xD
The theme song is awesome though!
Also, Willard Pugh is always enjoyable.
felicity4711 indeed on both counts!
Loved this review the first time and I liked it again. This movie is so cool and I was shocked it was the Craig Ferguson announcer. Also it shows how sad hollywood is it is slightly better now but still most actors only really get one shot.
..."If you wanna wear some slacks, pour yourself a bowl of Sugar Smacks."...😂
WHEN TROUBLES
ON YOUR BACKS
CALL
TRAXX
Oh please review "National Lampoon's loaded weapon 1"!!!! It's one of my fav comedies ever.
" I'M TAKING A SHIT "
SAMUEL L JACKSON'S
2nd MOST FAMOUS LINE
This is the definition of it's so bad it's good + this was like scary movie parody but with action cop movies!
you two make a good team how come you guys never collaborated again?!?
Loaded weapon looks like it's meant to be a satire of Lethal Weapon.
IT IS
Yikes! She's picking up my cadence!
Ah dude. Was laughing my ass off at 5:09
I love this flick! Great review!
Damn this looks incredible
Thank you for introducing me to loaded weapon
You are welcome!
1:06 why does that goon look so familiar?
4:55 that’s called ADADRRR.
this movie is amazing
I'll take Shadoe Stevens for the center square!
80's echos were due to the ozone being there. Thanks White Snake for the hair.
peppermint prune actually sounds pretty good.
It's like what Deadpool would like in a movie.
Nastuf less cookies perhaps
GoodBadFlicks And way more chimichangas!
I have to find this movie somewhere!!!
RUclips a
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Robert Davi also played Jake Fratelli in The Goonies.
That race joke was pretty early 2000's lmao.
You NEED to do Maximum Overdrive!!!!
That's too bad. There are some terrible movies that still get released on DVD. Well, it wouldn't be the first time HBO sat on something and refused to release it.
Wow, that B movie bingo sounds fantastic. I would have loved to have seen this on the big screen. Oh well, maybe it will make its way out to one of the venues on the East Coast.
Was having a weird kind of day in the "New Normal World" and thought to my self I haven't had any Traxx in my life recently.best line "Dieter lost a litre"
Lets see, Power Rangers, Ghoulies, and the original Rollerball should be coming sometime over the next year. I still have to see Ready to Rumble. I love Mallrats but Kevin's stuff is pretty well known already. Nah to Look who's talking...also Ernest films, while I like them, have been done to death. I did Critters a while back but due to some youtube nonsense, you can only see it on my site. (link above the comments)
That's classic Traxx
is Traxx's partner the mayor of Detroit in Robocop2?
when you see the
BAD GUYS DEAD
on their backs
It's
BECAUSE of SOMEONE
CALLED
TRAXX
.
07:13
Traxx looks like the Brother of WWF wrestler Mr.Perfect.
He was a wrestler before wwf got changed to wwe.
12 and 3/4 minutes into this review and Lupa only THEN finds the film unrealistic. WOW, it must take her a lot before that happens.
So... Is Traxx ever gonna come out on DVD? Or am I going to just have to stick to my VHS copy?
I spoke to Shadoe Stevens about it and he says the rights holder refuses to sell but has no interest in doing anything with the film. So, unless they change their mind it seems the film will not be on DVD anytime soon.
I wonder what his Traxx record is like.
It's the mayor from Robocop 2! "You senile old bastard!".
Thanks! She's great and I was glad she wanted to do this.
This felt like like it was the movie version Sledgehammer lol
+Rouén Robinson
♩ I want to be *beat drop* your Sledgehammer!♩
This guy has to be an Opie & Anthony fan.
Yeah, because she's such a superstar.
A better question would be "WHY did you get Obscurus Lupa in this video?"
Dean Strickson 👎
Huh, now I know what inspired Hobo With A Shotgun.
lol this movie is so silly
No! Not the puppy!
forgot about shadows stevens on daves world.
