"This is a dreadful film, but he made it. What have you done?" I haven't tainted the very art of filmmaking by directing Dangerous Men. I declare victory.
So, the reason Mina disappears halfway through the movie is because producer, writer, director, and composer (hence the awful score to this film) John Rad refused to pay any of her medical bills when she broke her leg on-set. And that scene where she rolls a car down a hill? That was Rad's daughter's car. He took it from her and blew it up, and she never knew what happened to it until she saw the movie.
This film is a world where Mina has to go to her Dad to ask him to give her her own bank account info before she goes on the run. Although Rad's daughter did admit in an interview that her father took the car away originally because of all the tickets she'd gotten while driving.
@@robotrix Ah. That makes more sense, though blowing it up is a bit of an extreme reaction, unless it was a very cheap car and much more expensive tickets than I was thinking.
I went to an actual, honest-to-god screening of this movie. In a theater. We pretty much knew what we were getting into and there was still *audible* confusion in the audience.
With the boss at the end of this: nice to see Stan Lee was getting work doing cameos way before Marvel studios. The Director of this really should have made 80's biking movie Rad. Because to have a director called Rad making a film called Rad would have been really...Rad.
It may be my ADHD, but there was one thing that distracted me through this whole thing. I've been an electronic musician since the mid 80's and I clearly recognized both of the drum machines that were in all the music in this. I owned both of them, and I recognized the sounds.
@@Gappasaurus Maybe "Policeman" is--coincidentally--just the dude's name? Some folks are named Weaver, Smith, Baker... That guy is named "Policeman", and he just happens to also be on the force. It's those intricate little world-building details that really make cinematic masterpieces!
Loved your observation! "This is an awful film, but he made it. What have you done?" My version of that line was always, "Well, where's your movie?" It's easy - and fun - to criticize, but actually putting a completed film in the can is a laudable feat, and it's good to be reminded of that once and awhile.
Quilting Advisor should have been the next lead in the film after the segment with Stan Lee wrapped. I do remember her from her breakout role in "Died On The Quilting Room Floor."
They Saved Hitler's Brain and 1970's Equinox leap to my mind as movies which took years to complete, but not necessarily out of any painstaking quest for perfection.
Madmen of Mandoras (sp?) was completed. But then they wanted to sell it to television and it was too short. They wouldn't have made up and filmed that "Mulder and Scully" plot line if they'd bought the film as is.
R.D. Steckler aka Cash Flagg is my favorite Z movie director. I feel he really could have made something if he had $$$ behind him. He was still shooting on a 1950's home movie camera in the 80s. Now that's devotion!
Worked in ER rooms, the knife wounds at 03:05 are looking suspiciously real, if I can say so. The more so for a bad movie without any budget. Anybody misses a bald biker/amateur actor?
This movie is awesome. I heard about it on RLM. Found it for free on youtube. It's totally nuts. The girl kinda looks like the girl from Mystics in Bali.
What can I say about this film .... NOBODY IN IT COULD FUCKING ACT !!!! I still have give it to Ed Wood. His dialog didn't make sense half the time, some actors had barn storming preformces , others stiff as a board. Plots were paper thin , the FX looks like they done by the kid with the lowest IQ in A.V. Club at a run down high school. But none of that ever stopped Ed from making movies, plays and TV pilots. Ed spent his life trying to break into Hollywood , and it seemed that nothing ever got him down.
Usually when someone asks me "well what have YOU done" in this kinda situation I fire back, but honestly even as a writer I can say I've never created such a perfect villain of the likes of Black Pepper.
I actually saw this film a few months back, since I heard RiffTrax was going to tackle it. It actually makes Samauri Cop look efficient. Credit to the director for getting the film done regardless of time. That takes dedication. I think Don Dohler also deserves some credit for his many low budget films. Dohler had some great plot ideas, but just not the budgets to fully realize them. Now, can we talk about the elephant in the room? Quilting requires firepower?
This reinforces a lesson introduced in Plan 9 from Outer Space - have a detective show that he's thinking by scratching his head with the barrel of a loaded pistol.
i always knew quilters were a dangerous lot…it’s why i never dare insult someone who uses two dangerous weapons as tools and has hands that could prick you to shreds in a second
Comedian/actor Richard Belzer who was Dt. John Munch in Homicide and Law & Order SVU was part of a universe that a producer began with the 70s series The White Shadow. It encompased the 80s St. Elsewhere, Cheers then Homicide, The X-Files, Law & Order, Frasier and several of series from different US networks. Now thats stubborn.
What have I done? I've consistently made one-take videos on my _other_ channel where I do story-based ASMR role-plays for the last 3 years. Yes, my channel is the best kept secret in the ASMR community.
I like the take away line. Actually, I was thinking of asking this channel for any groups related to film conservation or old film renewals. If you know of any, could you please point me in the direction of them? Thank you.
There was a director name Sam Newfield who directed more then 250 movies in a period of 35 years. I believe you talked about some of his movies on this channel.
The only 2 movies that I know that took so long to finish was Orson Wells' Othello and then these kids 🧒 who did their home 🏡 🎥 movie version of Raiders of the Lost Arc.
Director, Randy Fabert. Ultra low budgets but usually decent enough results. I know his movie Psycho Killer is here on RUclips. I don't know about his other ones like Autumn Moon.
Dude... Where do you find all these train wreck gems? This was so awful it was hilarious... At least hilarious enough to last through your video. Thank you for posting this video!
You said every 13 minutes there's a sexual assault - OF COURSE the blind quilter has a gun!!! Surprisingly Mina didn't have one when the "cop" grabbed her...but then you can tell she didn't know she was being filmed for that. Not sure how that's legal but...
THE ROOM, BIRDEMIC, this film -- I think we're not seeing foreign film aesthetics being brought to American films, but immigrants from areas that never showed films and thus have no real idea how the industry works.
What have I done? I think I deserve credit for not making this movie.
Same
Yes you do. I offer my hearty thanks and due credit.
😂
"So... Dangerous Men took 20 years, not to finish, but to stop being made!" - Jay Bauman
Damn, i'd love a Dark Corners/RLM video.

Well, Rad sounds like a real piece of sh*t, huh. It shows in this sh*tty movie.
Righttttt ..and here I was all dazzled by the adorably earnest feminist connection. What a twat

Great Intel!
OMG! The Quilting Advisor bit was BRILLIANT! Well done!
Ditto
That was a surprise and so cute.😆
Was that really his mother?
Let´s not forget the Stan Lee cameo
Shell Owl Diarama? He asked if he could see her hooters and this is what he got...
Ugh
🤣
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
You don't mess with the Quilting Advisor!
I went to an actual, honest-to-god screening of this movie. In a theater.
We pretty much knew what we were getting into and there was still *audible* confusion in the audience.
Was this one of the screenings Rad was present at? Cause he was really angry when people burst out laughing during his amazing work of art.
@@TheMadAfrican1 Sadly, no. He would've left during the first beach scene, if not before.
With enough beer that could have been fun 😅
Never under those 20 years did he come to the conclusion that he had no idea what he was doing -that's impressive.
With the boss at the end of this: nice to see Stan Lee was getting work doing cameos way before Marvel studios.

7:54 That badge is EXTREMELY convincing, how did they get access to *real* police ID?
“I’m a Police Policeman, don’t you see my badge?!”
I guess Vincent Adultman finally found a job.
@@Gappasaurus Maybe "Policeman" is--coincidentally--just the dude's name?
Some folks are named Weaver, Smith, Baker... That guy is named "Policeman", and he just happens to also be on the force.

I think we've all heard the one about the Australian biker who couldn't find his way out of the supermarket baking aisle:
"Oy, mate - lost in spice!"
And wouldn't it be a total scream if that Australian biker were none other than Mad Mel?
Or the Scarecrow who won the nobel prize for being outstanding in his field
Quilting Advisor should have been the next lead in the film after the segment with Stan Lee wrapped. I do remember her from her breakout role in "Died On The Quilting Room Floor."
Yup, that one had me in... stitches.
I think, if you ask me her best supporting role, was in Knitters with Attitudes.
I mean, one has to admire Black Pepper's taste in sunglasses. He's rocking the hell out of them despite probably being mocked by his own crowd.
FanboyFlicks fans knew exactly what was coming, and we’re thrilled to see Robin’s take 😝
RLM fans as well.
They Saved Hitler's Brain and 1970's Equinox leap to my mind as movies which took years to complete, but not necessarily out of any painstaking quest for perfection.
Madmen of Mandoras (sp?) was completed. But then they wanted to sell it to television and it was too short. They wouldn't have made up and filmed that "Mulder and Scully" plot line if they'd bought the film as is.
But Equinox had such cute stop motion animation.
I will never scoff at another quilt again! Thanks DC 👍
A policeman police badge. Are we sure he’s a cop? 😂
Clearly an officer for the city of Policeman
Policeman’s policing badges aren’t toys! 😅
7:55 Ah yes, the Policeman Police Department
That's a dangerous place, it has: Bikers, Vigilantes, and teleportation portals
City of Policeman, is like a town called Bobbyton, in England.
I'm in tears. Great review!
Are quilters usually packing heat?
I know I do
💀
New favorite character
Over a 20-year period I'll give it an E for effort.
According to IMDB it took 26 years. There's dedication for you.
Or weird-ass obsession.
@@ashleys9397or a failed Kickstarter
4:25 "I want to be... one of the girls of the night!" is clearly the greatest line of dialogue ever put onscreen.
Holy crap, quilting advisor!
Well? He definitely made this film. Good for him!
R.D. Steckler aka Cash Flagg is my favorite Z movie director. I feel he really could have made something if he had $$$ behind him. He was still shooting on a 1950's home movie camera in the 80s. Now that's devotion!
"This is a dreadful film but he made it. What have you done?"
“I made a dreadful film of my own.”
I love your reviews- I laugh so hard when I watch them.
Moral of the story:
Quilting without packing heat is dangerously unsafe 😅
Worked in ER rooms, the knife wounds at 03:05 are looking suspiciously real, if I can say so. The more so for a bad movie without any budget. Anybody misses a bald biker/amateur actor?
This movie is awesome. I heard about it on RLM. Found it for free on youtube. It's totally nuts. The girl kinda looks like the girl from Mystics in Bali.
The DC breakout character to me was Quilting Consultant, Cameraman's Mum!
Don Dohler comes to mind. Once again, Robin, you've reminded me of a flick that my mind had blocked out.
What can I say about this film .... NOBODY IN IT COULD FUCKING ACT !!!! I still have give it to Ed Wood. His dialog didn't make sense half the time, some actors had barn storming preformces , others stiff as a board.

Then let us now All Hail EDWARD D. WOOD JUNIOR---The Unheralded TITAN OF DIY AMERICAN CINEMA.
Being able to find out where she hides her weapon is exactly the reason I became a Shadow.
Possibly the least effective biker gang since the Black Widows. Right turn Clyde!
7:55 Ah, this detective is from the Policeman Police Force. 😄😄😄
6:25-that door is amazing
1:21 That's the 'Magnum PI' (AKA G10 air pistol) Clark W Griswold used to hold up Wally World 😂
OMG, thank you for taking the hit onthis Robin and Graham! And it sounds like I need to hit RLM's review and leave a comment about Dark Corners ;)
Usually when someone asks me "well what have YOU done" in this kinda situation I fire back, but honestly even as a writer I can say I've never created such a perfect villain of the likes of Black Pepper.
8:46 I feel like I should be hearing "yoga fire!" or "the pipes are broken!" or something.
I actually watched this after seeing RLMs review.. Great to see that it made it to Dark Corners as well.
Confirmed - do not mess with a quilter or a camera man's mom.
As I've said in the Cinema Snob review of this movie, I'll repeat it here; this movie has some serious Samurai Cop vibes about it.
Samurai cop is fun, and has actual jokes in it. This is low grade torture.
I actually saw this film a few months back, since I heard RiffTrax was going to tackle it. It actually makes Samauri Cop look efficient. Credit to the director for getting the film done regardless of time. That takes dedication. I think Don Dohler also deserves some credit for his many low budget films. Dohler had some great plot ideas, but just not the budgets to fully realize them.
Now, can we talk about the elephant in the room? Quilting requires firepower?
Don Dohler is Kurosawa compared to this nonsense.
You make a good point at the end. Kudos for sticking with the project.
What have I done? I’ve watched this review, and I’m glad I did. I might even do it again 😁
So we Iranians have given the world both Samurai Cop and Dangerous Men? You are welcome!
This reinforces a lesson introduced in Plan 9 from Outer Space - have a detective show that he's thinking by scratching his head with the barrel of a loaded pistol.
Two filmmakers whose films are pretty bad, but I have to admire them for doing what they loved until the day they died:
Don Dohler
Ted V. Mikels

Welcome to Dark Corners’ new Special Advisor. Nice to know that the Science Advisor does not have to carry the entire burden.

if I don't mistake, creator of Samurai cop too is an Iranian. what is like Iranian movies in Iran?
Wow, never thought a fist-fight could look and sound so tedious.
Cameraman's Quilting Mom says all there is to say!!!🙏👌👻✨❣️
John Rad… what an 80’d name, what’s his brothers name? Hank Tubular lol
Dangerous Men. 'Nuff Said.
[Cheesy yet funky music yet loopy music plays]
Oh my god the foot getting stuck, you can’t teach that!
Hey hey hey I made Swamp Zombies 2. granted that movie did not have Black Pepper in it
Its no wonder thumping a lift is not a thing anymore
The only 2 movies that I know that took so long to finish was Orson Wells' Othello and then these kids 🧒 who did their home 🏡 🎥 movie version of Raiders of the Lost Arc.
"But where could she hide a weapon?"
Her prison wallet?
I don't know where you find these cinematic gems!
Every RLM watcher saw this link and immediately said "Oh, Robin, NO"
Now he has to do *Blood Debts, Low Blow* and *Geteven.*
Director, Randy Fabert. Ultra low budgets but usually decent enough results. I know his movie Psycho Killer is here on RUclips. I don't know about his other ones like Autumn Moon.
Saw this. And i remember posterior knife.

It's all great except when I think of how long we're gonna have to wait for the sequel.
I've been making a documentary for the past 12 years. I will finish it one of these days. Hopefully.
oh my goodness... usually bad movies don't take twenty years. What have I done? If I got off my ass I'd publish the books I've written.

Surprisingly Mina didn't have one when the "cop" grabbed her...but then you can tell she didn't know she was being filmed for that. Not sure how that's legal but...
My word, the music in this film is something else...😂
Wow! This one left me speechless.
:) the movie may look terrible , have stupid dialogue and sub par acting but its heart is in the right place.
7:55 Policeman Police 😂😂😂
Orson Welles can't get the John Rad award because of the plethora of unfinished films he left behind.
One of the most schlockiest movies ever produced.

Why name a character black pepper?
This video was awesome.
Love the fight that sounds like a video game!
I thought he said "shell owl diarrhea"...which would make more sense.
I'm a quilter. I prefer a 38
It's a movie about people with really bad luck.
