If Dune is the worst thing on your resume, you know you're badass. David Lynch is a legend.
Quentin Tarantino said it best, on how to tell a great director from a servicible, mediocre, or bad director. With the first three types of director, their worst movie will be completely forgettable. However, a great director's worst movie will be just as memorable as his best ones.
@@FucTrumpGeez... What does that make Tarantino? Does he even have a "worst" movie?
@@charlottecorday8494 His last couple of movies.
I like Dune better than Fire Walk With Me and Inland Empire.
I was ten when _Dune (1984)_ was released in theaters, so I’m not going to pretend I understood it then. But this film, for all its flaws, has one thing the other remakes and spinoffs don’t have:
My favorite Legendary Actor, the late Dean Stockwell! 😭
More people found this former Child Actor through either _Married To The Mob, Quantum Leap_ or the _Battlestar Galactica Remake._ And of course I adore those roles!
But in 1980 my six year old self fell madly in love with his seven year old self when I saw a rare airing of _Anchors Aweigh (1945)_ on some local television station.
Over a decade or so after I initially saw _Dune (1984),_ I finally caught up with _Blue Velvet (1986)_ and learned more about his connection to David Lynch. Dean went on to tell an interesting story about how he met David long before the Director hired him!
I could literally write a biography about this tragically overlooked man so I’ll just end this by saying:
Okay, so Dr. Yueh was the traitor! Sure! But The Barron killed his wife, goddamn it!!
I've seen this movie three times, first before having read the book, then after, then in the theater when they re-released it for its anniversary before DV's Dune part two. Each time I enjoyed it more than the last.
It's really grown on me. It's an exceptionally good looking movie, even more than DV's version at times (as much as I absolutely adore that version), and the music is damn good.
I unironically love every frame of this movie with all my soul
Me too. It's a frustrating movie because you can see what it might have been.
Same
Watched it countless times, the music and visuals are amazing. It's sad Lynch hates it so much he never went back and did a directors cut.
I think it's a great movie. I hate how they just practically ignored the mentats in Villeneuve's version, totally wasting Pyter!
@@spencers4121He actually didn't have the movie per se, he hated studio interference, that didn't let him do whatever he wants. Not saying I'm entirely on his side, because when you see interviews about Twin Peaks the Return, you see Lynch throwing a tantrum of why they can't spend as much time filming some scenes on a sound stage they own and a poor exec trying to explain to him the actors are not his personal slaves and have other contracts.
I would pay to to see a bar fight that included Sting, an 8yr old Alicia Witt, and Linda Hunt
I mean... Yeah! Who wouldn't?
Whenever I watch this movie I imagine it's an episode of Twin Peaks. One of the characters falls asleep while reading Dune and dreams the entire movie. Only way it makes sense.
That’s an intriguing idea.
I love Brad’s mom and how she’s as much of a cinema snob as he is!! Like mother like son 😊
You had me at "Horse With No Name". And you get ALL the bonus points for actually knowing about "The Great Race"!
I love this movie, I wonder what David Lynch's Return of the Jedi would have looked like
Probably less trippy than what we got with the Ewoks.
couldnt have been worse roj sucks.
@@CmdrSoCaldid you watch anything that came after it?
@@bobdouglass8010the different levels of suckiness
Fun fact: Iron Maiden's song "To Tame a Land" from the album "Piece of Mind"is a seven and a half minute epic telling the story of the original Dune.
15:07 - 15:14
Stilgar: LISAN AL GAIB!!! 🙌🙌🙌
LISAN AL GAIB!!!
I LOVE the Lynch's Dune (especially the fan cut of it), and I laughed my ass off at this. Thanks, Brad.
Every time I close my eyes I see Sting in that little speedo thing.
Kyle MacLachlan is so much more likeable than Chalamet.
20:22 in the italian dub the Baron was dubbed by the same dude who dubbed President Skroob, his name is Sergio Fiorentini
This is where the fun begins
God, I still have imprinted in my mind the picture of oiled Sting in speedos... The horror... The horror...
But seriously, this movie and all it's cast was fantastic. (yes, mr. Sting was fantastic :))
24:18 In just seven days, oh STING...
🎶 I Can Make you a Maa~an!! 🎶
12:40 it's called GAR-MON-BOZIA
"My God, you knew how to put your arms through your sleeves - YOU ARE THE MESSIAH!" 🪱🪱🪱
*LISAN AL-GAIB!!!*
Love this movie, always have. Did not knew about re-release though, have to find it
I want to live in a universe where David Lynch directed Return of the Jedi.
Cool! You did Dune!!! Yeah!!! Now do the miniseries!! I think Mama Snob will need more than Ritalin to get through that version!
The Baron's ears were actually oozing garmonbozia...
This is the wildest movie to fall asleep to.
You drift off to boring exposition, then wake up to the weirdest shit on screen.
The kid in the blue shirt at the beginning of your... who is he why is he in every 80s thing ever? He's haunted me for 40 years now. It's like Summer Glau in 90s SF/Fantasy shows.
I got to see the rerelease a couple weeks ago. I freaking love it now. Looking for the soundtrack.

Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!! I am in heaven!!! I’m writing this even before I watch….so excited for this!!!
It's so insane to me that Lynch's original cut of the film has never been released. What do they have to lose??
the eyebrow guys are like human computers. because A. I. nearly destroyed the galaxy thousands of years earlier (or something)
Young Virginia Madsen is so beautiful. 😍

Dune Miniseries next?
I disregard the exposition in favour of Iron Maiden on loop.
Cheap????😮😮😮 That's something critics complained about when this movie came out. I don't even like this movie, but the last thing in the universe I would call it is cheap looking. The detail of the sets is extraordinary. People had no appreciation for anything back then.
Perfect quote to end the review on. X3
My main man Brad 👍👍
ThE sPiCe
well about the paul romance...there is more dialogue of chani on this movie than the first book
Virginia looks gorgeous
god I love this movie.
Lynch's Dune was a good try at least. it does have Captain Picard holding a little dog while going into battle. Classic! lol
Lynch's Dune walked so that Villeneuve's Dune could ride the Shai-Hulud.
@@timetochronicle Good thing it walked without rhythm, too.
I don't think David Lynch gives himself enough credit. Who else would have thought up two dwarfs poking a dead cow with a stick.
Decades ago in the mid 90s I made a spliced version on VHS that included the extended cut and the TV extended bits mashed together (like Stilgar's extended worm riding tutorial) before the DeLaurentis Extended DVD cut (which excludes the storybook opening narration in favor of the Irulan one) and must agree... Lynch had filmed so many iconic scenes and nailed many things. I can give a pass to his interpretation of the Weirding Way and the voice amplifying sonic weapons for everything he got so darn right. The art direction on this so influenced my view of the Dune universe that it caused me to outright reject initially the SCI-FI series which actually does get a lot right too... Just couldn't stand the break dancing pantomime Spacing Guild and Irulan's butterfly dresses in the first Sci-Fi mini-series.
@KareemHarper The sci-fi miniseries has some of the worst costuming I've ever seen.
Children of Dune was great, though.@@stevencoffin328
@@stevencoffin328 It was done with a low budget, but it's probably one of the more faithful version of the book.
@@KareemHarperBut those butterfly dresses were funny!
Just think, David Lynch directed Return of the Jedi, we could’ve seen Jabba the Hutt flying all across the ceiling
And Princess Leia killing him with a gom jabbar-like weapon she hid in her bra.
According to Wikipedia:
"Although Universal has approached Lynch for a possible director's cut, Lynch has declined every offer and prefers not to discuss Dune in interviews. In 2022, though, during an interview about the remaster of his film Inland Empire (2006), he admitted to the surprised interviewer that he was interested in the idea. He offered the caveat that he did not believe it would ever happen, nor that anything in the unused footage would satisfy him enough for a director's cut, as he said he was "selling out" during production. Nevertheless, he said enough time had passed that he was at least curious to take another look at the footage."
Let me guess, the newer movies made him curious to go back, didn’t they?
@@madgang201 it wouldn't surprise me.
@@madgang201more than likely. In addition, a lot of the reappraisal of his film has come about thanks to efforts of fan edits like from Spicedriver that brings back much of the cut footage in a seamless manner, repurposes some of Virginia Madsens voice over narrative into areas that make sense, eliminates a great deal of thr inner voice stuff, thereby removing repetition and redundancy, and even manages to repurpose the exposition stuff from thr Alan Smithee TV cut into information that Paul is learning about from his tablet. It also removes the moment Paul makes it rain at the end. The new fanedit even breaks things up into chapters, making the film feel a great deal more epic and cinematic than ever.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lynch ended up seeing that fanedit and then decide to personally have Spicedrivee come on board to make that edit the official edit, much like how a fan edit of Raising Cain ended up becoming the official directors cut edit on the home video release.
i think i remember hearing that i'm really curious what kind of film he would do if he was able to get his hands on it since the cut would be so different from how it turned out
@@madgang201Lynch said he has not and will not watch DV's remake
15:23 Epic to think you have Father Merrin, Captain Picard, Special Agent Dale Cooper and horror writer Sutter Cane all in one shot.
That’s right-talk about an outstanding cast.
And Al Calavicci.
And Chucky.
When this hit the theaters I was a Junior in college. My friends and I went to see it. The final wheel was missing! The manager said we could return the next day and watch it again for free. Turned out that the final reel was mostly the final credits!
That is funny for several reasons 😆
I think it was "Dune" that someone in a comment elsewhere saw with two of the reels accidentally swapped, and the audience didn't notice! 🤣
"Paul and Chani's Love grew." You'll just have to take our word for it. LOL~
Footage not found.
Romantic imagery and dialogue not found.
This still explained more than "somehow, palpatine returned" 😆
omg I forgot about that horrible line in that movie.@@robollama8612
Kyle MacLachlan could play Paul Atreides in Dune
But Timothee Chalamet could not play Zack Carey in Showgirls !!!
Could Chalamet play Cliff Vandercave or Jeffrey Beaumont, or voice Riley Andersen's dad?
And The flinstones.
Piter de Vries the character played by Brad Dourif is not a Harkonnen. He is a Mentat. They are an order of people that are trained from an early age to basically become human computers. They are capable of memorizing vast amounts of information and use knowledge and reasoning to solve problems. All of the great houses have at least one in their employ. Actual computers or "thinking machines" have been strictly forbidden since the Butlarian Jihad.
Then how does that explain the eyebrows?
@@louisduarte8763 how can one be hyper intelligent without having comically large eyebrows to raise up like Mr. Spock when intrigued by something that peaks your interest, or use in mocking condescension at someone else's idiocy?

In many cases, you can see where George Lucas drew inspiration from Dune in the creation of Star Wars
You are forgetting Flash Gordon
Both most likely drew inspiration from John Carter.
@@toomanyaccountsAnd Buck Rogers!
Honestly, the 80's were the proper decade to encapsulate the bizarreness of Dune as a universe, so I nonironically love this version.
When the Guild Navigator arrives in that large canister thing, one of the men in the long black coats falls over - he's at the back on the left 😂 (not exactly stormtrooper hitting his head on rising door, but close).
I just checked and saw it, I have watched this movie countless times.
Also after you find out the sardaukar are wearing modified used body bags, you can never unsee it.
the guild really makes me think of the face of boe from Doctor Who
The guild dosnt take orders.
“God created the snob to train the faithful”
Ah yes the space pugs... until they crush the pugs in a glass and drink them.
Long live Pug Leto! 🐶
The dog owes my friend money
I've defended loving this flick for ages. Saw it in the theater when it came out, yep, had the cheat sheet. It was so bizarre back then, It is so utterly unique.
“I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating - and it gets everywhere.”
Yeah, that joke was funny in...huh, guess it wasn't.
"Rod and Tod" were " Orlop and Kaleff" the children of Jamis, whom Paul killed in a knife-fight scene that was cut from the movie. It's Fremen custom for the winner of an Amtal challenge to care for the wife and kids of his slain foe. That's why those two kids are there.
It's touched upon in the extended cut.
“I didn’t want to shoot Kung Fu fights on the damned sand”.
Herbert’s Dune books are my Lord Of The Rings. I can respect the craftsmanship and visual imagination of this movie, but I can’t get over “Weirding Modules”.
Yeah it felt like a way to get "my name is a killing word" into the movie even though that works well enough for them just shouting Muad'dib as they fight
Also made the final battle easier to shoot since they can just sit on the worms and shoot everything standing still, it's a serious compromise in this adaptation but considering how much else is changed I don't even really care, by that point I'm numb to how wrong everything is and I take this movie as it's own animal
However with the new ones every changed detail feels like a betrayal because of how good everything else is
The remkae has that.
I feel this movie could of been the GREATEST science fiction movie of all time had the studio left David Lynch alone and let it be 4 hrs
may want the Brad Dourif interview where he talks about Lynch wanting to have an actor disfigure their face for a scene rather than use camera tricks. Also if Lynch was truly unhappy than theatrical would be Alan Smithee
David lynch’s dune is superior in one major way. It features a space pug who lives thanks to Patrick Steward. The pug must live
I was a huge fan of the books, having first read them while I was in high school; and I was super stoked to see this when it was released. It certainly wasn't Frank Herbert's Dune, but my friends and I all really enjoyed it, as crazy as it was.
Despite being a huge David Lynch fan, "Dune" was the one I kept putting off seeing until a few years ago. Even though it has a lot of classic Lynch director's signatures--dream sequences, hissing industrial noise, Jack Nance, etc.--I can see why he doesn't like talking about it.
I think Frank Herbert liked the movie, though, except for the end. In the books, Paul is a false messiah, while in the movie he is the messiah.
I wonder how much studio interference led to the ending of Lynch's Dune making Paul even more of a heroic figure. It did come out not too long after the original Star Wars trilogy, and I think Universal wanted their own "Star Wars". Also, and considering Lynch was planning an adaptation of Dune Messiah, I think such an adaptation would have put off people who enjoyed seeing the "heroic" Paul.
Denis is doing the right thing by being more faithful and showing the Paul who would end up causing an immense genocide.... but I still have a soft spot for that heroic Paul. If viewed on its own, and without a Messiah followup, 1984 Dune can be appreciated as a "Star Wars" imitator, and also a contemporary to the 1980s Flash Gordon. The Lynch movie also was the inspiration for the approach that Westwood's Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Duen games took, which had a heroic Atreides. And, the 1984 Dune book walked, so that the Denis's movies could run.
@@timetochronicle Well a couple of years ago, I found a draft of the script online, and that one ends the same way the book does. So maybe you're right.
Jolly Ranchers with a gummy center... Bravo, Brad. Brilliant as always!
To be fair about the cheat sheet, the encyclopedia in the back of the first book is the size of a small novel in its own right and you HAVE to reference it if you dont want to be confused as fuck the first time you read it
Describes my experience reading The Lord of the Rings.
@@louisduarte8763more like The Silmarillion.
The fact that Lynch made Dune this weird and the book isn't even close to being the weirdest in the series is completely mind numbing to me
I had a family friend that swore there was a director’s cut with a different cast that was 6 hours long but when I told him he was thinking about the mini series he wouldn’t listen 😂
I got to see this in theatres for the first time last week. I went with a group of other nerds, we had such fun. Something I'd never realized from just watching it at home is how great the sound design is! And there were so many random details that I caught for the first time. I do think that the longer cut is better, but if you're going to see it, try to get it in a theatre.
At least the sets in this Dune have texture and color, instead of being featureless, minimalist, plain colored walls. And I can hear what the characters are saying.
Best thing about David Lynch media: his style is so crammed with symbolism and metanarrative and such, that even when you have no idea what the hell you're looking at, it's always with a sense that there is meaning behind the insanity at the very least. Compare it to something like Tarsem Singhs movies, where a lot of the time it feels like they're just being weird for the sake of weird.
The snob must flow.
Tbh, i prefer when the snob liquids say inside of him.
The entire sound weapon concept is based on an almost throw away line on one of the last pages of the book "I could kill you with a word." That being said, the weirding modules are extremely cool.
Original dune adaptation convinces me that only David Lynch could adapt something like 40K to the big or small screen. While i'm not a snob over CGI and modern effects vs oldschool practicals, real sets and extra's i see benefits and drawbacks of both and how they can even compliment each other. Sorry but some stuff is just better depicted with mass scale that oldschool allows you to do and real sets and D.L. Dune is one of the masterclass examples of that and it does it by being visually grimdark and still subtle yet impressive.
Really in particular western CGI generally fails as portraying large scales, i've only seen asian studios(on mainly Japanese) do it right and especially when there wasn't anyone watching over their shoulders and constantly dictating stuff.
I need a movie about the sequel books witht the "battle nuns" that r@pes their victims into slavery. Im not kidding, read the books, this is a thing.
If you've seen *Flash Gordon* or *Lawrence of Arabia* you'll do just fine.
I saw *Dune Part 2* yesterday, and I liked it a lot more than *Part 1...* but did anyone else absolutely _hate_ Zendaya's Chani? Rei was a Mary Sue as well, but at least she was nice. (Sigh) Even so, my friends and I were wondering if it was possible to blend parts of Lynch's *Dune* with Villenueve's.
Paul is more of a Sue than anyone.
Chani was changed to point out how he wasn't a Messiah. He was a Cult leader
If I would see a Sting Movie then I watch Bee Movie thank you very much.
Yeah the new one sounds good and all but does it have Patrick Stewart going to war with a Pug in his pocket? I rest my case
I adore twin peaks and X files to the point I’ve watched them both several times. They’re two of the most wild, crazy, weird and interesting shows of the entire decade of the 90s. And EVEN I WAS CONFUSED by this movie when I watched it for the first time last night. I said several times out loud “I feel like I need to read the book first to understand this movie”
Paul Smith was in 'Dune' and 'Crimewave' which came out just a year apart from each other. Both movies had "issues." 'Dune' had the issue of David Lynch not having final cut. 'Crimewave' had all the typical issues of studio politics.
Note: I had a sandworm toy when I was a kid in the '80s.
11:08 Piter de Vries, a corrupt Mentat who aids the Harkonnens.
13:58 You're a Civvie 11 fan, aren't ya?
14:59 "He will know your ways as if born to them."
23:17 Paul is supposed to be in his late teens, right? 1984 Kyle McLachlan could pass for maybe 22-ish at the youngest.
24:29 It's "buck naked," not "butt naked." So "buck-ass naked" would be the extended version of that expression.
24:57 You're not far off. The Guild Navigators are former humans.
Oh yes I forgot to tell you, the tv series is better.
I have seen maybe 1% of the films you review, but your reviews are so bloody funny, I have them on all the time on the telly while doing work! Keep it up!
And PLEASE do The Langoliers!!!
I second your petition for a Cinema
Sob review of the Langoliers!
"And you're lost?" This is like watching a Bible movie and saying who is Saul or Esther. You might have to read the Bible to know what is going on.
I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life
Given he's the inspiration for him and seems to love the character I wish Sting would make a cameo in something Constantine
Imagine the fact that this is 11 years AFTER The Exorcist and somehow Max Von Sydow de-aged 20 years or more. LOL The miracles of 1973 makeup!
I been waiting for Brad to "Snob" Dune for about 12 years now.
I have to shout out the fan edit Alternative Edition Redux that did a good job at showing us what David Lynch's intended version of Dune would have looked like.
18:39 - Valdmir Harkonian is actually Paul's maternal grandfather, so he's actually spitting on his own daughter!
Uhh,that’s really twisted.
This is not The baron from the book.
Stellen version was more of the menacing and thinking type.
Squeese well, squeese hard.
Rabba: and the rest who like the original.
Baron: kill them all.
@@BarryHart-xo1oy The whole book series is twisted. I'm on "Children of Dune" and I'm like wtf these kids are 9!!!
I hated this movie, which is weird because I like Lynch movies , but this was hours of exposition and a new character every five minutes
The only thing i have to add is that is not 10,000 AD, it has been far too long since I did the math but it is closer to 40,000 AD at a minimum, but that is from the books
18:28 seeing Patrick Steward saving the the Pug was both a hilarious & heroic moment, easily my favorite from the entire movie.
I don't recall Dogs in the book
This is not objectively a good film, but has enough personality to make it an engaging one.
It's odd yet amazing how often Brad Dourif pops up.
I watched this long before falling in love with the novel and series, and I still love it. For one thing, it has never put me to sleep like Villenueve's version which did it both times I tried to watch it
Dune: every frame a banquet; every scene a slog.
The miniseries and it’s sequel Children of Dune are the best that SyFy made in the 2000s!!! Emperor: Battle for Dune has Copec and Gunseng that both resembled Rabban and Feyd-Rautha from the Lynch movie!!!!
Almost every Dune video game was stylized after the 1984 movie.
Emperor was, I think, the best of the games and Westwood's final curtain call before being absorbed by EA.
13:59 Reminds me of Civvie 11's Nice Model gag 😎
