Kung Pow is unironically one of my favorite movies. When I make people watch it, I tell them, "You're either gonna hate this because it's fucking stupid, or you're going to love it because it's fucking stupid."
Good Lord. I remember Disorderlies, but not from ever seeing it. I used to spend a few weeks of my summer vacation at Newfound Lake in Bristol, New Hampshire. There was a convenience store up the road that myself and a few other kids from these cabins we stayed at would walk up to to pick up various items(snacks, drinks, comic books, etc). There was always a rack where you could rent VHS tapes. We always leaned more toward horror for late night viewings but I distinctly recall seeing Disorderlies on that rack for several years. You just brought back a long-dormant memory, brah!
I recently watched Disorganized Crime which came out around the same time. Great movie that holds up pretty well! I still remember scenes from The Disorderlies, haven't seen it since it came out.
Hoopla is a pretty good streaming service you get with your library card. Also includes comics, ebooks, music, etc. Lot of okay and meh stuff, some diamonds. Kanopy is a similar service with more Criterion stuff. Both really shine around Halloween
I've read a couple of books on Hoopla that weren't available as physical copies in any library in my county's system. It's a little weird, they treat digital media the same as physical -- if you've had a book for too long, you have to "return" it and check it back out again. Still, I'm glad it's an option.
When I first saw Kung Pow I thought the entire movie was brand new It took me a while to realize it was spliced in with an older movie... Definitely an underrated classic!!!
Grew up on the Shaw brothers films and any other martial arts film I could get my hand on. Kung Pow enter the fist was and still is one of my favorite comedies.
Full Eclipse is a great movie. I believe I still have the DVD stowed away somewhere. Love the fact that the antagonist, werewolf cops really aren't the bad guys if you think about it. So cool that before the chief baddie died, his last words were "Take my power. Protect the innocent.". Considering the sad state of LA and CA in general these days, we can sure use some of these werewolf cops today.
I'm so glad you remembered these! 'Kung Pow' has actually become something of a cult-favorite over the years, and was even shown on Cartoon Network just a couple months ago! (the ORIGINAL "deep-fake"! ) XD And 'Sugar & Spice' was a favorite of my family and one we used to watch regularly on cable. They used to show it so often, I'm genuinely surprised no-one talks about it anymore. =\ (oh, and FYI: it's actually "there ARE no other mutants") Keep it up! =)
I grew up on Disorderlies, I worked in a Video shop when I was 10 as a box boy but got a copy of this from the owner and never stopped watching it. Loved that film.
Full Eclipse was actually a legit, enjoyable film. I remember seeing it as a teen, and it always stuck with me. I certainly didn't see that twist coming.
FULL ECLIPSE was also written by Michael Reeves. Who wrote episodes of animated shows such as DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, Godzilla:The Animated Series, BATMAN:TAS, and GARGOYLES. Last year he sadly passed away.
I also liked Paula Marshall in Full Eclipse. She was also in Hellraiser III, which I didn’t know was directed by the same guy. Though Terry Farrell wins that one.
Well, Kung Pow I didn't bother to check as I got that on sale awhile back, and unlocked it even here on RUclips with my Movies Anywhere. The other 4, found everything except Habitat on another site. They didn't have Habitat, but luckily there is that copy on RUclips, so even if the quality isn't that good, I could at least check it out. I saw Sugar and Spice before, dad brought it home with him back when he worked at Blockbuster. I remember liking it, but not seen it in ages. The rest, I've heard of Disorderlies, but not seen any of those 3 before. Thank you for this, enjoyed your video.
@@boskostoybox Perfect examples for me include: • *"THE NAKED GUN"* Trilogy (1988-1994) • *"JAWS 2"* (1978) and it should include the one deleted scene that's only featured in the Brazilian TV Cut where Tom Andrews finds the underwater camera near the Orca wreck. • *"JAWS: The Revenge"* (1987) An HD restoration of the AMC TV Cut that has the intro narration, multiple deleted scenes (two of which should be re-edited into their proper places), and the original ending with Jake McKay & Papa Jaws' initial deaths. • *"The Little Rascals"* (1994) The ABC Family TV Cut with deleted scenes including the one scene where Mel Brooks gets his comeuppance. • *"EARTHQUAKE"* (1974) The 1976 NBC TV Cut with the original opening narration, one brief scene with actors Victoria Principal & Reb Brown, and newly added footage with some of the actors returning and a subplot with a couple on board an airplane.
I've seen all of these except Sugar and Spice. Kung Pow is my favorite and I still have it on dvd. My friends and I would often quote the movie at random just for a laugh, especially when we shouted "that's a lot of nuts!" or "shirt ripper!". Everyone else just gave us strange looks, but we knew. We knew.
There's an episode of the short lived series Detroiters from Comedy Central that pays glorious homage to Disorderlies when Tim (Robinson)'s dad, played by pro wrestler Kevin Nash, breaks out of a mental institution and they have to try and catch him and bring him back.
You put some old favorites back on my radar. I definitely need to rewatch Full Eclipse and Sugar & Spice. Full Eclipse would make for a great series, let’s go HBO.
Kung Pow is Not a movie I expected on here. Not because you don't know your stuff, but I guess I never thought it was a "Good Bad Flick". Its amazing! I still have the DVD of it somewhere Sugar and Spice. I remember hearing that they used my elementary school for something in that. Like the cafeteria was the prison cafeteria. But, while it was shot in MN, it doesn't say anything about the town I grew up in.
Sugar & Spice that film is a time capsule of the saturday afternoon films I found in the early 2000s. I had more fun with this one more than with Bring it on, but I didn't noticed that this one didn't had a Blu-Ray release. Full Eclipse sounds like a crazy movie it's like if the videogame Crackdown meets Altered Beast.
Sugar and Spice is a fun one! I love the girl who is obsessed with Conan O'Brien! It would be a great double feature with Drop Dead Gorgeous, one of my all time favorites!
Always glad to see these videos Cecil! Saw Habitat on the SciFI Channel in 1998 and then rented the VHS so I could watch it uncut, and enjoyed it even more. I agree, decent film with great colors that deserves a remaster.
"Eenie Meenie Miney Moe. I wonder where my fist will go." I remember watching the original martial arts movie from Kung Pow! with my dad when I was a kid. Kung Fu Theater on Saturday afternoons was such a golden time.
My only concern with making the Blu-ray or 4k transfer is if it highlights the inserted footage instead of keeping it pretty much blended as it is now.
4:30 me: Wow what an array of old films made when I was a child or not born yet, pretty cool list to check out...what do you mean there isn't a blueray of Kung Pow Enter the Fist?!
I forgot to mention Kung Pow as a movie that deserves a Blu-ray release in your last video, but you didn’t let me down! It’s easily my favorite comedy ever. It’s a crime that it still doesn’t have a blu-ray release!
Hoopla is a borrowing service provided by libraries. There's movies, books, comics and audio books. You get the "rentals" for a select amount of time. No I don't work for them!
A brief addendum on Kung Pow. It’s not currently on streaming, but sometimes ends up on Tubi, Plex, Pluto, or Roku. It was on one of them earlier this summer.
I love listening to kung pow's "what they actually said" audio, it is hilarious what odekirk wrote for these people to say to make the dub look like a typical asian movie dubbed to english.
Another great one, Cecil. Omg can't even say how many times my buddies and I watched Kung Pow way back in the day with a bunch of beers. So stupidly entertaining. "Weeeee-oooooo wheee-ooooo!!"
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is so BAD, it's fantastic. They did so a good job mixing the footage. It's definitely a recommendation I'd give. I remember Suger and Spice. I enjoyed the film. I'm sorry I didn't know about it's original form. I'd love to see what it was supposed to be. Still, it was good for what it was. So many talented actors
Saw Kung Pow and had to comment. Really? There's no Blu Ray?! That is crazy. I thought this movie had enough push or cult status to have one for at this point. One of my favorite movies ever and the comedy still holds up to this day, it always gets to me whenever Betty starts talking. Totally underrated.
Good list. I hadn't thought about some of those titles in a minute. I loved Disorderlies. The Fat Boys + Ralph Bellamy = frickin' funny. Reminds me a bit of Bellamy in Trading Places. Didn't they kinda remake it with B.A.P.S.? My dad loved Sugar and Spice. I thought about him as you discussed the movie. I think he would've loved your take on cinema. He loved knowing who was in what movie with that person, who was in the other film with that other actor or director. I learned that from him. (Thanks dad. RIP) Full Eclipse is a total banger. It was a spin on the trend in the 1990s of having movies surrounding a renegade police unit where the new guy turns on the group. Others in this subgenre include Extreme Justice with Lou Diamond Phillips and Scott Glenn, The Sweepers with C. Thomas Howell and Scarred City with Stephen Baldwin, Tia Carerra and Chaz Palmintari. And those are just the ones off the top of my head. All 3 of these share another bit of history with Full Eclipse. While those 3 weren't made by HBO, it was their original place to be shown as part of HBO's World Premiere block on Friday night, 10PM. (Shows you where my social life was in the 90s. Lol.)
I love Full Eclipse. I only ever saw it once as a kid on tv, but it stayed with me and once i got internet many years later i looked it up and have rewatched it many times since. Once this year even, since it's on youtube. For a horror-ish movie it has surprisingly chill and dreamlike score.
2:54 I remember watching that film a lot as a child on HBO. 3:59 Same here Cecil. 4:30 YES!!! 5:18 🤣🤣🤣🤣 8:12 A very underrated ''werewolf/vigilante cop film'' if they ever was a mash up genre like that before? LOL 9:28 Yes she sure is Cecil😍😍 Another awesome installment Cecil👍👍
You should mention that the same companies that rent the digital versions also sell the movies for ownership. Both Disoderlies and Kung Pow: Enter The Fist are often on sale for the same price as a rental ($4.99) and are Movies Anywhere compatible. Kung Pow is even in HD.
Great job putting this video together, Cecil. I saw both Kung Pow and Sugar & Spice in the theaters. Can't say they were money well spent in the theaters, but I'm sure they have their charm. I remember there was a lot of confusion about Kung Pow with regards as to how much was real and how much was the older film. I believe one reviewer thought the whole film was real and the "original kung fu footage" was only a marketing ploy.
Wow! I haven't thought about Sugar and Spice in forever. It used to be on our regular rotation back when my wife and I first got together and couldn't afford cable, so we'd hit up the sales at Hollywood Video. Good times. We were broke, but we had fun.
I really recall watching Disorderlies when i was a kid but don't remember where exactly. Probably local channel back then(Fox) but i do remember watching it with my brother since it was him who i was exposed with a lot of movies back in the day which i appreciate it mentioning it since i will try to buy the DVD for my brother for his birthday =P
A awesome new video, Cecil. I have watched & love Kung Pow: Enter the Fist & Suger & Spice. but haven't seen the others. but they do look great & deserve blu ray releases. :)
Cast a Deadly Spell is another great made-for-HBO movie from about the same time as Full Eclipse. It’s film noir, set in a post-WW2 LA where magic is real. Heck of a cast, including Fred Ward, David Warner, Clancy Brown, and Julianne Moore. There was a DVD release, but I don’t know of a Blu-ray. I actually still have the VHS tape I recorded it on 30 years ago.
I really hope that over the next 5-10 years we keep up the momentum of that the boutique blu-ray and 4k releases have. For big name movies I love a good high-end restoration but for a huge number of films and shows the technology has come along enough that it's profitable now to still do a great job restoring a movie and releasing it on blu-ray without a huge overhead cost. I've been seeing more and more previously forgotten movies getting a proper physical release finally.
Disorderlies totally deserves a Blu-Ray. It belongs in the Criterion Collection as it's one of the finest pieces of cinema ever. It's even better than Top Dog.
"We have purposely trained him wrong as a joke" This is one of the most ingeniously funny quotes I have heard
This movie sucks more ass than a leach on rikishis butthole
It's actually "We have purposefully mistrained him as a joke." Still funny that they admit this in front of Wimp Lo.

Kung Pow should be considered a classic. The entire move is pure gold!
my college friends referenced it all the time in the early 2000s
Agree, it’s well done
Weeeeooo
I liked "Full Eclipse" myself, although I wish the movie was maybe 15-20 minutes longer
"That's like... his stomach-plug on the ground back there. You don't see that every day!"
Kung Pow is unironically one of my favorite movies. When I make people watch it, I tell them, "You're either gonna hate this because it's fucking stupid, or you're going to love it because it's fucking stupid."
The best description
Love that description. True as it is. Thanks.

I hope Kung Pow deserves the Shout Factory treatment cause I usually buy out of print movies on EBay.
When a movie is so obscure you never even heard of the streaming service it’s on….
😂😂😂😂😂
Hoopla is linked with my local library.
Hell Yeah Disorderlies!! A Classic! All You can eat, All you can Eat! Great video like always man, Please keep'em coming.

In the 're-editing old films to make new ones' vein, I always loved 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid'!
Watching that was how I learned to shave my tongue. 😋
Just don’t mention the “lady who cleans” around Steve Martin.
Full Eclipse looks amazing. I want to see it.
Grew up on the Shaw brothers films and any other martial arts film I could get my hand on. Kung Pow enter the fist was and still is one of my favorite comedies.

I haven’t thought about Disorderlies for about 25 years. Thanks for the memory unlock.
Kung Pow is a family favorite: “Again with the squeaky shoes!”, “THAT’S A LOT OF NUTS!”
He's going to town for NUTS
“I am bleeding.
Making me the victor.”
It's so weird that within the last month or two, I was discussing both Habitat and Disorderlies with people at work.
Cecil is watching you.

Kung Pow's Blu-ray NEEDS everything the DVD had!

I was stunned when he didn't mention Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid in relation to Kung-Pow
Patsy Kensit was my first celebrity crush ever as a kid in the 80's.

Kung Pow is a great movie, up there with Black Dynamite.
I whole heartedly love Kung Pow. One of my favorite movies.
Here's an idea for a future video:
"5 Extended TV Cuts of Movies that deserve a Blu-Ray".
YES! Like when I made my own "director's cut" of Army of Darkness using the TV version (before the official ones came out.)
Police Academy movies come to mind. So many deletes scenes they put on the TV versions and we dont have decent versions of them especially Part 4
@@boskostoybox
Perfect examples for me include:
• *"THE NAKED GUN"* Trilogy (1988-1994)
• *"JAWS 2"* (1978)
and it should include the one
deleted scene that's only
featured in the Brazilian TV Cut where Tom Andrews finds
the underwater camera near the Orca wreck.
• *"JAWS: The Revenge"* (1987)
An HD restoration of the AMC
TV Cut that has the intro narration, multiple deleted scenes (two
of which should be re-edited into their proper places), and the original ending with Jake McKay & Papa Jaws' initial deaths.
• *"The Little Rascals"* (1994)
The ABC Family TV Cut with deleted scenes including the one scene where Mel Brooks gets his comeuppance.
• *"EARTHQUAKE"* (1974)
The 1976 NBC TV Cut with the
original opening narration,
one brief scene with actors
Victoria Principal & Reb Brown,
and newly added footage with
some of the actors returning
and a subplot with a couple on
board an airplane.
We DESPERATELY need the fight scene with the octopus added back in to Goonies.
Airplane. The stuff they put into that movie to replace the “too risky for TV” jokes was also gold.
Disorderlies is a huge part of my childhood. Love that movie.
KUNG-POW! Love that film! Nuff said. To many good bits

So since Kung Pow was released by 20th Century Fox, it's now on Disney Plus in some regions. I know for Canada is shows up on Stars for sure.
It was on Amazon a while back and occasionally shows up on Tubi.

Probably local channel back then(Fox) but i do remember watching it with my brother since it was him who i was exposed with a lot of movies back in the day which i appreciate it mentioning it since i will try to buy the DVD for my brother for his birthday =P
I loved Disorderlies on HBO back in the day! Funny as hell!
Full Eclipse soounds rad as hell! I need to check it out!
A awesome new video, Cecil. I have watched & love Kung Pow: Enter the Fist & Suger & Spice. but haven't seen the others. but they do look great & deserve blu ray releases. :)
Remember "Where are you? Why aren't you leading?"
Always enjoy the videos. Thank you.
I really like the idea of Full Eclipse.
Cast a Deadly Spell is another great made-for-HBO movie from about the same time as Full Eclipse. It’s film noir, set in a post-WW2 LA where magic is real. Heck of a cast, including Fred Ward, David Warner, Clancy Brown, and Julianne Moore. There was a DVD release, but I don’t know of a Blu-ray. I actually still have the VHS tape I recorded it on 30 years ago.
Thankfully, HBO put Cast a Deadly spell on Max. Its not a bluray release but at least we can enjoy a restored version of a great film.
I really hope that over the next 5-10 years we keep up the momentum of that the boutique blu-ray and 4k releases have. For big name movies I love a good high-end restoration but for a huge number of films and shows the technology has come along enough that it's profitable now to still do a great job restoring a movie and releasing it on blu-ray without a huge overhead cost. I've been seeing more and more previously forgotten movies getting a proper physical release finally.
Cast a deadly spell and witch hunt. Two great mid-90s HBO movies that need more attention
I used to watch The Disorderlies all the time on Comedy Central as a kid, totally forgot about that.
Disorderlies totally deserves a Blu-Ray. It belongs in the Criterion Collection as it's one of the finest pieces of cinema ever. It's even better than Top Dog.
