The movies poster artwork is like all games from the 80's. The covers made it look so good, but when you loaded it, it was a bunch of blocky art with beep beep sound.
I always love in these post apocalypse movies how people are fighting to the death for water, food or fertile men / women but there is an endless supply of face paint and welding equipment. I love these cheesy movies they were the staple of choices for something to grab down the video rental place when I was looking for something for the weekend.
@@GoodBadFlicks I got another hidden gem for you: Innocent Blood. It is a really strange mix of seriousness mixed with comedy, dark humor, and dark elements of the mob and about Vampires. It has Don Rickles, Robert Loggia, Le Femme Nikita star Anne Parillaud, Anthony LaPaglia, and a few others that you will see and go, "Oh, hey, I know that guy!" Robert Loggia's performance in this is worth the price of admission alone.
When I was a kid, my Dad had a copy of “Convoy” on 8-track in our gigantic metallic-green Plymouth station wagon. It was in a shoebox in the back seat, along with the 8-track of Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler”, some Fleetwood Mac, and Chuck Mangione’s “Friends And Lovers”, because we didn’t have a tape deck yet. In other words, I’m old.
given the director's filmography, they leap into each other's embrace. the subplot is about lovers who break up. shannon is leaving. kurt doesn't want to let him go. they go back and forth, trying to quit one another but still showing their feelings by sparing each other. hence "now we're quits." lillith isn't a love interest, and lied to shannon about kurt's intentions. but kurt really can't quit shannon, and after shannon decides to stay, kurt comes back, they embrace passionately, and they run off with the wooden gold together. oh, and life plus is blended mutant smoothie.
"They try to bribe him with a stonesword key." Keep it up with the Elden Ring references. Put a smile on my face like that time you referenced Sen's Fortress (I don't remember in which video, but I do remember the reference).
It's always a welcome treat when Cecil posts a new video. Seriously man, I love this channel. Positive fun with cheesy old movies is my jam and I dig it. Cheers, bud! Thanks for all you do!
I was just about to post pretty much the same thing. Cecil has a real love for these movies so the riffing never comes across as mean, yet the riffs still manage to be wickedly funny!
I remember seeing a poster for this in my local convenience store here in the UK, in the very early 1980s, at the start of the home video boom. As a 10 year old, the poster blew my mind and i thought this would be the coolest most badass movie ever. i finally managed to track down a copy in the late nineties and suffice to say.... it didnt quite live up to the movie in my head
I miss the poster art of the 80's. It was so much fun to walk into a video store and look at the colourful and spectacular box art (in many cases it was a lot better than the actual movie). Nowadays movie posters are photoshopped crap.
@@wynfrithnichtwo8423 During the 80's you had to take a chance on the movies you found at a video store because the Internet wasn't around. You couldn't look up any information on movies. Sometimes you were lucky, more often not.
I hadn't realized I'd seen this movie until you got to the part about the town of blind monks. I remember enjoying it when I saw it as a teen, but then again I've always rated movies by how enjoyable they are rather than how well made they are.
I remember seeing this on cable growing up in the 90s. Love the Running Man references. Also great cameo from The CineMasochist! Thanks for the video Cecil!
As someone who loves The Running Man: it's apparently a hodge podge of a ton of movies with the novel bits (and I happen to love the novel, too) being like three to five pages used overall. Apart from Endgame there are at times shot-for-shot similarities with Das Millionenspiel (1970) and Le prix du danger (1983) (plus some inspiration from Rollerball (1975), Stalker (1979) and La vita è bella (1979). I would still argue that The Running Man easily exceeds all the primary inspirations (those before the brackets, that is) with the same basic plot. It has a unique combo of style, substance and inspiration behind it that just always clicked with me and I'm not in a minority here, since the movie became a cult classic. That said, I've never heard about Endgame before and it does, indeed, look like D'Amato's best film from that episode and an overall interesting twist on a deathmatch TV show idea. Really intrigued. Also The Running Man, Blade Runner and Akira all take place in 2019 and predicted bits and pieces of that year freaking perfectly with the former featuring what is essentially deepfake and digital editing software.
You didn't mention how Eastman broke that guys neck in the concrete block and him bleeding woke up the mutants. That wakes them up, not walking threw their lair. Literary walking right past sleeping mutants. I love this movie.
I love how female leads in the post apocalyptic future always look like their ready for a fashion shoot or a music video. As always, well done Cecil! Edit: Grammar
OMG! Thank you for doing this movie! It was my introduction to bad movies! Back in ‘87, a couple years before MST 3000 aired, my buddy and I (teens at the time) were rolling on the floor with laughter as we watched this and riffing the hell out of it! What a great time! LOL! That said, I watched it again on RUclips a few years ago and it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it.
9:31 *yep those post apocalyptic Styrofoam landslides are known to be quite painful if not down right deadly* *...especially if you are one of the unnamed antagonist*
I can't get enough of these low budget 80's post apocalypse movies! Find a some run-down places and some leather clothes and you're halfway done. As cheesy as these 80's PA movies are, it's hard to find low budget movies these days with the appeal these had. 10 million is a low budget flick. It has some cheap CG and all this other crap, but those old flicks had all practical stuff. Explosions, air ramps, hastily assembled vehicles and costumes... Just awesome!
First of all, thanks for the Suspicious Minds reference. One of my favorite Elvis songs. You did a great job on the video, Cecil. This is one film I'm sorry I missed and I gotta check it out. Even that cool poster did not ring a bell. Any football fan like me would have seen that cover art in the rental store and said, "That I'm renting". I recently saw Joe D'Amato's sharksploitation film "Deep Blood" (1990). Not a great film, but it's fun to watch with friends.
I think endgame is the underrated gem honestly. I pre-ordered this a while ago and when I finally got to watch it I really enjoyed it. I genuinely like the Director too!
6:45 never heard quits being used like that before either lol. Interestingly, we do use that term in Portugal when saying "we're even": "estamos quites". The more you know lol. Great review, man!
Your comments for this movie were one of your best, very funny. Obviously, the movie itself lends much material for jokes on its own expense, but still, very clever, very funny. I love you man.
I hear you about the Nuke thing man. I'm Gen X and I remember vivid nightmares of nuclear holocaust were on regular rotation on my brain's movie player. I don't think millennials and Z can appreciate how that shit was drilled into prior generations. I remember the crawl under your desk and kiss your ass goodbye drills in school. And those horrific sirens and emergency broadcast network testing alerts! When I was little I thought every time one of those sirens or alerts sounded it was THE BIG ONE. I remember legitimately looking out the windows to see if the shockwave was on it's way. But I've always had a hyperactive and morbid imagination, and bad nerves, so maybe it was just me.
They toss their knives aside, embrace, and have a kiss so long they fuse into a single being who is the mutant protagonist of the sequel. Stone key and caught in a trap--I got those references :p

Fuck yeah, Endgame! I have an unreasonable love for this movie despite knowing it's bad. Whenever someone mentions Avengers Endgame, I always pretend they're talking about this movie instead.
I remember see this on Friday night I was looking for something besides war movies or cowboy movies on the tbs channel so I hope on USA channel and this was on even though they cut out some of the parts to the movie it was still a great watch and it introduced me to The apocalyptic movie genre good times
DUDE YOU PLAY DEADLANDS!!!! Super sweet. I have a group Saturday nights as well. It's so much fun and highly insane. I love it, and mainly because it's off the "Savage System" of rules. Okay back to the video.
I've played Deadlands and HOE and while I like them both, I prefer HOE because of the PA setting. Have all the books but haven't been able to play in years. I'm curious about Lost Colony because I really like the idea of Deadlands in space.
@@GoodBadFlicks in our recent game, I did a tribute to your videos. I had my Character her thrown out of three windows of the same house by a Mimic Piano. It was for great cinematic effect and it worked very well. My GM brought up Lost colony one time, but we went to Firefly (same SWADE ruleset), and with alot of absenteeism, and with the game got derailed very quickly, and we went back to Deadlands.
The "Not that Endgame" I had in mind (considering the channel reviews older films) was "Highlander: Endgame". An absolutely atrocious film. Thankfully not as bad as the last film in the Highlander series...but that's the only good thing I have to say about it.
Hear me out: I have a soft spot for Highlander: Endgame. It's a directorial debut from a longtime assistant director and second unit director Douglas Aarniokoski (who worked with the director of the original Highlander, Russel Mulcahy on Resident Evil: Extinction, btw) and he did an inspired (if definitely not perfect) job with a material given. You can always trust Bruce Payne to chew every piece of scenery, Adrian Paul and Christopher Lambert are rarely bad, Lisa Barbuscia (from the previous regular Good Bad Flicks episode, Serpent's Lair) was interesting and overall it had the Highlander vibe with colorful flashbacks intersecting with the miserable life immortals are carrying in the modern world. And there's also an awesome Donnie Yen, whose fight scene with Adrian Paul is really cool. That said I'm a rare franchise fan who enjoys The Quickening, as well (there are some more, this fraction of a fandom is sometimes called Zeistians for obvious reasons), so I definitely have the acquired taste. Needless to say, none of the sequels are as good as the original (and, maybe, the TV show at its best) and The Source is still freaking approaching unwatchable.
@@PictureProductStudio Honestly if taken as a "Made for TV" movie as part of the tv series, it's watchable...My big problem with it is how they: 1: Made Connor impotent by having him join that group of immortals who "gave up" after Rachel got killed. 2: Had him killed off in the most "saw it coming a mile off" way just for Duncan to gain enough "souls" to match the bad guy in strength. Having both fight him and one dying in the process would have made for a better film. In my own headcanon, Connor was always superior to Duncan so I found that rather insulting. But anyway I'm of the belief now that the tv series and movies 4-5 are part of their own timeline, so you'd have "Highlander/Highlander 3" in the same continuity, "TV/Endgame/The Source" in its own...and The Quickening is a nonsensical fanfiction. EDIT: Oh and that weird French cartoon also has its own timeline I guess...One where the Kurgan obviously didn't exist since Ramirez is so prominent in it.
@@Darkdaej I totally agree about Connor, even though the series version is technically different from the movie one. As much as I love the fact that Lambert returned to the role and did what he could, it could've been handled much better. The Quickening technically fits with the first and third movies, switching places chronologically with the latter, which becomes a weird bonus level before disc two in the grand scheme of the movies universe. Director's cut is also a lot better, especially since it removes planet Zeist and makes it what it was supposed to be in the script: distant, technologically advanced past. I kinda liked the cartoon, but I haven't seen it since childhood and I have a feeling it doesn't hold up too good. Have you heard about a feature-length anime movie? There is one, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007). I haven't got to it myself, yet.
Its funny. Some of the parts at the beggining of the film, like the girl hidding out from the supremacist authority forces, the guy preparing his boots, leather pants and make up to go out while watching the old TV, the dark tone,etc....reminds me a lot to the beggining of V for Vendetta
10:58 ''The Running Man'' is a classic film I also feel this another underrated movie from this genre is the 1982 film ''Turkey Shoot'' IMHO. Another funny ass video Cecil I look forward to see you do a episode of ''Exploring The Running Man'' somtime in the future? Especially since this year it turns 35.
@@GoodBadFlicks Hopefully you will mention King's book 'The Long Walk', which was King's first written novel and a precursor to 'Running Man' and all the Battle Royal/Hunger Games that followed.
Original at the moment. My GM wants to play HOE, but didn't want to overwhelm us. So she decided to start us off easy and see how we enjoyed it. She also comes up with her own campaigns so it takes a bit of time to create the story, and she wants to get a feel for the system too. I have faith in her though as her campaigns for Shadow Run, D&D and Vampire: The Masquerade (which I highly recommend if you haven't played) have all been great! So far I am really digging Dead Lands. The mechanics are a bit different then other table top games, but they are easy to play.
If there's one thing both movies have in common, it's their posters with a misleading amount of spiked shoulder pads and football helmets than there are in the films.
Smoked a bowl, opened RUclips and there's a new GoodBadFlix. Life is good.

1: Made Connor impotent by having him join that group of immortals who "gave up" after Rachel got killed.
2: Had him killed off in the most "saw it coming a mile off" way just for Duncan to gain enough "souls" to match the bad guy in strength. Having both fight him and one dying in the process would have made for a better film.
In my own headcanon, Connor was always superior to Duncan so I found that rather insulting.
But anyway I'm of the belief now that the tv series and movies 4-5 are part of their own timeline, so you'd have "Highlander/Highlander 3" in the same continuity, "TV/Endgame/The Source" in its own...and The Quickening is a nonsensical fanfiction.
EDIT: Oh and that weird French cartoon also has its own timeline I guess...One where the Kurgan obviously didn't exist since Ramirez is so prominent in it.
@@Darkdaej I totally agree about Connor, even though the series version is technically different from the movie one. As much as I love the fact that Lambert returned to the role and did what he could, it could've been handled much better.
The Quickening technically fits with the first and third movies, switching places chronologically with the latter, which becomes a weird bonus level before disc two in the grand scheme of the movies universe. Director's cut is also a lot better, especially since it removes planet Zeist and makes it what it was supposed to be in the script: distant, technologically advanced past.
I kinda liked the cartoon, but I haven't seen it since childhood and I have a feeling it doesn't hold up too good. Have you heard about a feature-length anime movie? There is one, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007). I haven't got to it myself, yet.
I adore this film!!!!!
Its funny. Some of the parts at the beggining of the film, like the girl hidding out from the supremacist authority forces, the guy preparing his boots, leather pants and make up to go out while watching the old TV, the dark tone,etc....reminds me a lot to the beggining of V for Vendetta
I remember renting this in the late 80s where video stores were flooded with post apocalyptic B movies were plentiful!
"Not"-zi's is brilliant!
:)
10:58 ''The Running Man'' is a classic film I also feel this another underrated movie from this genre is the 1982 film ''Turkey Shoot'' IMHO.
Another funny ass video Cecil I look forward to see you do a episode of ''Exploring The Running Man'' somtime in the future? Especially since this year it turns 35.
Running Man hopefully this summer. Been working on it since last year
@@GoodBadFlicks Cool Cecil!

Hopefully you will mention King's book 'The Long Walk', which was King's first written novel and a precursor to 'Running Man' and all the Battle Royal/Hunger Games that followed.
Ever done The Bronx Warriors or Escape from the Bronx review? Definitely worth checking out.
Love the stonesword key reference!
:)
Cecil, its funny you mentioned Dead Lands. My gamer group just started playing it, and its a lot of fun.
You doing original or HOE? Either way, you are in for a good time.
Original at the moment. My GM wants to play HOE, but didn't want to overwhelm us. So she decided to start us off easy and see how we enjoyed it.
She also comes up with her own campaigns so it takes a bit of time to create the story, and she wants to get a feel for the system too. I have faith in her though as her campaigns for Shadow Run, D&D and Vampire: The Masquerade (which I highly recommend if you haven't played) have all been great!
So far I am really digging Dead Lands. The mechanics are a bit different then other table top games, but they are easy to play.
Sponsored by Cadre Cola. It hits the spot.
If there's one thing both movies have in common, it's their posters with a misleading amount of spiked shoulder pads and football helmets than there are in the films.
When you take a look at the running man in the future, cecil: don't forget to take a look at "das Millionenspiel" and "le prix du danger" beforehand.
I didn't recognize Laura Gemser with all her clothes on.
This is the most important video on RUclips
"There's no other way out"... except for all of the many windows behind me on the wall.
7:40 that is a pretty neat idea, sort of like keeping people for their blood in Fury Road. Not bad for a B movie.
11:07 Welp, another Great Exploring Video to look forward to! 😁😁😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow! Those Italians are so good at ripping off popular American movies that they can even rip them off years before they get made.
Liquid Sky reference for the win! Haha!
4:39 Suspicious Minds was his last number one hit and his comeback
Fwiw 2020 Texas Gladiators is getting a 4k release towards the end of November.
Good to see you're a fellow Deadlands fan, especially with Hell On Earth!
Got enough Dr. Pepper?
Endgame is the most popular show since running man!
