One of the fun facts about this movie is that Stu is not an actor. He actually is an IT tech named Stu who went to school with Taika. Apparently he thought he only had a bit part in the movie until he saw it at the premiere.
Oh, and the show is 100% worth checking out. Just as hilarious as the movie.
for sure watch the show. if only for Guillermo
Another fun fact is that Stu, later in his career, ended up being a founder of a film lighting/engineering-ish company. You can see one of his notable works in Thor: Ragnarok's Valkyrie vs Hela backstory fight sequence which is super cool with its use of slow mo and 360 lights effects. Worth checking out his company website for his other works!
@@paulhewes7333 I did not expect that man to steal the show when it started but boy is he amazing.
I must agree! The show is absolutely incredible! Have a look at the trailer if you want to get an idea for what to expect. Matt Berry is a master in the show.
I did not know this fact and it's amazing. Also the show is indeed amazing.
Best line of the movie: "I'm bidding on a table"
Ahaha, it really is.
It is but, "If you were to eat a sandwich, I think you would just enjoy it more if you knew nobody had f*cked it."
I like “Yes! It’s night time”
"Some people freak out a bit about the age difference. Uh, they think, "What's this 96 year old lady doing with a guy four times her age?" is one of my favourites.
Let me do my dark bidding on the internet
"We're werewolves, not swearwolves..."One of the funniest lines
The next film is called 'We're Wolves'.
@@OofHearted Is that still happening? I heard about it forever ago, but I don't know if it's still in the works.
Apparently there was a sequel in the works following around the werewolf’s, called “what we do in the moonlight”
I love Taika but people keeps forgetting that he cowrote and co directed this with Jemaine Clement. Also a brilliant mind in comedy.
yes! I love jemaine
Man, nobody gives Jemaine credit for this movie.
kiwi legend
Yes! He is hilarious too. I loved his show , “Flight of the Conchords”. Check it out on HBO.
They did so much together, I sorta just consider them one entity
Deacon: I think we drink virgin blood because it sounds cool.
Vlad: Let me put it this way. If you're going to eat a sandwich. You'd enjoy it more knowning that no-one had f*cked it.
He does have a point haha
Fun fact, each character is inspired by a different style of fictional vampire adaptation. Viago is the romanticized 'Interview with the Vampire', Vlad takes after Gary Oldman in 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', Deacon is influenced by 'The Lost Boys' and Petyr is essentially old school Nosferatu. And I guess Nick would be Twilight? lol
Thanks, I was looking for this comment.
@@ghedoja3711 Me too! Definitely! 👍
Who says they are fictional?
...
youre not fucking twilight nick!
I think Nick would be more Let the right one in kind of vampire.
the Gas Station clerk that says he's a vampire too is in the background of the Undead Ball. He actually was a vampire.
Hahaha i never noticed that before! I need to rewatch this movie
@@MojiBeau I'd never noticed that either...and have seen this film probably 20x by now.
It checks out too. Clerks reaction was therefore "wtf are you doing?" as all vampires (minus nick) know to keep it on down low. xD
This film, the series and Wellington paranormal are all gold.
All downloaded and watch regularly.
@@booty2k I haven’t seen the series though I want to. What’s Wellington Paranormal?
@@MojiBeau Wellington paranormal is about the cops from movie, how they deal with paranormal things on duty. I actully have not seen it, but heared from friend that it's hella fun watch
@@keksinka6715 oh my god; how am I just learning about this now! I have an evening of binging planned 😊 thanks so much!
One minute into the movie: "this is brilliant"
I agree.
(When the police are at the house, missing all the corpses but noticing the fire hazards)
"Let's kill them!"
"Well, let's just see what other safety tips they have first, and then maybe we kill them, yeah?"
Have you seen 'Wellington Paranormal'?
@@Cyborganna Not yet. Any good?
@@matthewjaco847 Well worth a watch of you like those Cops! Great little show💖
@@matthewjaco847 yes. Yes it is. I'll take all the what we do content. All day long. Wellington paranormal isn't as good as what we do tv series...but it's an exceptionally high bar...therefore still absurdly funny.
Officer Minogue ("it's Kyle!") And O'Leary are gold together.
Also you may get a film cameo or two in season 1. O.o
Everyone...watch ALL the What we do-verse content. It's all brilliant.
@@Cyborganna I came here to recommend that series as well. I actually loved Wellington Paranormal before I saw the TV series WWDITS and THEN saw this movie. Those two cops are my favorite clueless paranormal pair.
We all love Taika, but let's give credit to Jemaine Clement, the other writer/director, too :) They worked on this together for years and were both equally involved. One of my absolute favourite movies, thanks for the reaction! :)
I met "Deacon" at a Comic Con a couple years ago. He stayed in full character the WHOLE TIME. Even when he took a selfie with me, lol.
Apparently Taika based his character's mannerisms off his mother. I love it, lol.
"Twilight!"
"Shut up, Nick! You're not Twilight..."
There's another spinoff called "Wellington Paranormal" that hasn't made it to the US yet. It follows the two cops from the film. I've managed to watch it, and it's freakin' hilarious, too! Unlike the film, it doesn't have any heart. It's basically all jokes, but that's okay. It made me cry with laughter often so mission accomplished!
Also the upcoming sequel "We're Wolves" which will feature most of the same cast but will focus on the gang of werewolves.
^this. Agree it's all just silly...minus strangely heartfelt end to Xmas special season 2. But that's more than ok and fitting for the double act of these two.
@@krashd is it still happening? Last I heard was Clement in interview pre-season 2 of series, saying they were going to make but kept putting off...now they doubt they'll do it.
Hope I've missed something and it is coming finally.
I fucking love this series. The guy is so fucking ignorant to every single thing going on hes absolutely perfect lol.
I love when the possessed dog talks to him and hes offended by what the dog says to him 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve put my whole family on to this movie. My 60 year old dad quotes it all the time!
You're a great Kid!😁💖
So they had a story/script, but they didn't share it with the other actors. They set up lighting around the house and gave the direction of "we're starting HERE, we need to get to THIS beat by the end of the scene" and let them just go. They recorded hundreds of hours of acting in character and took a year or more if I remember to edit to actually form the story we end up with in the movie. Such an unreal process but so hilarious. As an example of how fast and loose the movie was, Stew was actually an IT guy that was helping out on set. The reason he doesn't actually say much in the movie is that he's actually not an actor. A good portion of the movie's story is based around a dude and the decision to just improve him into the movie.
It's worth looking on RUclips for some of the other random scenes that didn't end up in the movie. Like Vlad hypnotizing the phone company over the phone into not paying his phone bill.
This movie took me totally by surprise. I didn't know anything about this movie when I watched it, also it was my first Waititi movie, and I love every single minute of it. Inmediately became one of my favorites comedies of the last decades. Fucking brilliant
Same here. This film is just utterly hilarious
Me too, absolutely floored me and became one of my favourite comedies of all time. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and this is a go to movie when I just want to laugh.
Brandon: "I'm not sure what they do"
Me: "...in the shadows?"
This has to be one of the best vampire films ever made, certainly from this century. The show is in my opinion one of the better spin-offs from a movie
When I was watching it for the first time my roommate came in to check on me to see if I was alright because I was laughing so much. And I never do that, but I restarted the movie (I was about a 1/3 of the way in) telling him that he just *had to* see it, and then it was both of us gasping for air from laughing. A true masterpiece.
Now, leave me to do my dark bidding.....
on the internet!
I went into this movie, blind, several years ago. I was laughing non-stop. One of the most fun movies I've ever seen.I should get around to watching the show
The TV show on FX is really funny too.
I love the TV show....I think it's even funnier than this.
@@andys9029 It's not as good, but I love Matt Berry so anytime he was there was amazing.
Bat!
Its genious!.. " Guillermo!' You spooked the virgins"!
Check out “Wellington Paranormal” its a series based on the 2 goofy cops lol. Absolutely hilarious.
Holy crap I wasn't expecting this. I love this movie along with the show.
@Darkashtar Have you seen Jojo Rabbit? Or Hunt for the Wilderpeople?
@Darkashtar His movies are so dang good
@Darkashtar same
@@gannonhunt4284 hunt for the wilderpeople is so amazing and underrated
I love how in the first scene he's in, Peter's sudden waking is overcranked just like in Nosferatu, to create an unsettling speed.
When Peter gets Nick, the boys say "Oh, poor guy" - they were planning on killing him and drinking his blood, but "Oh, poor guy!"
Calling this movie humorous is an understatement. Personally, there are no words to describe how funny this film is!
One of my favourite movies! Thank you!
11:53 "Who let Petyr out?" - best line imo xD
"In two minutes, that was a better conflict than the entire Twilight saga."
Hahaha! So true. :)
The 2 cops are my absolute favorites. They got their own spinoff show and it is PERFECT lol. Its THIS style comedy but w more than just vampires. Its called “Wellington Paranormal”. An absolute MUST WATCH series.
Whoever recommended this to you, well done, great choice!
The silver also relates to their reflection. Mirrors used to be backed with silver and that's why vampires had no reflection. It has nothing to do with there soul like most people believe.
I love this movie and seeing someone else experience it for the first time was so fun, I couldn't stop smiling! Thanks for doing it. Also Jemaine Clement who played Vladislav co-wrote and co-directed and I'd highly recommend Flight of the Conchords, it was a really funny show and Taika Waititi directed and co-wrote a few episodes
I clicked so hard my finger is broken.
I just remember stumbling onto a trailer about this movie a few years ago and decided to watch. Couldn't stop laughing the entire movie. So glad they made a series out of this story, even with different actors and characters, just because the concept works so well.
The Beast reveal is honestly one of my favourite things
The show is not only on-par with the film but it really expands and fleshes-out their world, which gives the story even more potential.
Really worth your time.
OMGGGGGGG YES BRANDON!! This is one of my fav comedies i’m so glad i get to see your reaction
About the vampire and silver: silver was supposed to be sacred, so it's not good for vamps. It's also why they couldn't reflect in mirrors, because they were made with silver. Nowadays they're not anymore, so they should be able to reflect.
But mirrors still have a very thin layer of silver on the back of glass which makes the glass reflective. Copper I believe is thinly layered over the silver and then a thicker layer of just paint.
4:36, Jermaine Clement. He was also in the short lived musical comedy drama series Flight of the Conchords.
Funny how in here he plays the 'sexy' vampire but in flight of the conchords he's the more awkward and nerdy one haha
Loved his work on FX’s Legion too - such an underrated show.
"Our friend has just been killed in a fatal sunlight accident!" 😂 god I love this movie
Glad you enjoyed. Honestly a lot of Kiwis are like this :D Taika and Jermaine are old work mates and acquaintances of mine. Next time I bump into them I'll mention you enjoyed it, as I am a fan of your reactions.
PS. There is also a show with the 2 Cops that turn up in this film called Wellington Paranormal :D
Budget was $1.6M USD, most of which probably went on the "Bat-fight" scene lol
I really enjoyed "What We Do In The Shadows" so much.... was very pleasantly surprised . It has a little bit of everything in it . It was a really nice touch at the end when the vampire was hypnotizing the audience with his words and hands to make us forget we watched the movie and Brandon immediately went to like a "zoned out mode" and said that the last hour and a half just slipped by..... like he was under "the spell" that was very clever . I enjoyed this reaction from beginning to the end . Thank you Brandon.
They're planning a sequel called "We're Wolves"
That’s always been a joke I don’t think it’s actually gonna happen
15:59 One of the very rare occasions where cinema got German accents COMPLETELY RIGHT!! If you REALLY wanna know, how to speak German correctly, THIS is the place to go! It was nearly PERFECT!!
that mirror shot with just the two humans dancing in it kills me every time XD
Way better than it needed to be. This is what happens when you give talented people the resources to do the stuff they are passionate about making.
YES!!! The show next :)
I'm team Nadja!
Dude, you’ve got to check out the show on Hulu. It’s incredible, as in INCREDIBLE. So original, so full full of wit and quirk, great writing, great acting, terrific characters and visuals. From your reaction to the film, the show is right up your alley. It’s really a one of a kind show in the very best of ways.
I live in the city this was filmed in, Wellington, so very happy to see you react to this one! Really enjoy your content Brandon, keep it coming. Much love from New Zealand :)
Apparently a lot of the stuff in the movie was improv from the actors.
This is such a great movie and my absolute go to, if I've had a bad day/week. It always makes me laugh and cheers me up.
You would love Flight Of The Conchords. It’s got the same type of New Zealand humor and a couple of the same cast members.
If you like Jemaine Clement's comedic acting, I also suggest the movie "Gentleman Broncos" where he plays a pulp sci-fi writer who's FoS.
Sam Rockwell is also great in it.
There's also a New Zealand based spinoff series called Wellington Paranormal about the two cops that show up. That came out before the WWDITS American spinoff series.
Yes Wellington Paranormal is great !!
Somewhere I read that Stu actually came up with the strobe lights for the Valkyrie scene in Ragnarok
The tv show has quickly climbed to be one of my favorites! First two seasons we great and they got the green light for TWO more seasons! Hop on it!
Eagle Vs. Shark was my first intro to Taika Waititi. It's hilarious, quirky, and has lots of heart. Give it a whirl sometime. Very underrated.
Fun fact: The first time I watched this movie - it was the German version - Viago (Taika Waititi) was given an Austrian (to be precise a Viennese) accenct, while in this English original version (you are watching now) he has got a German one. 😊
You gotta start watching the tv series. Hilarious.
I honestly prefer the TV series than I did the movie.. 😅
I know some people may hate me for that, but just my opinion.
The tv show is exactly like the movie in terms of style and humour.
I really like the tv show.
The best thing is the psychic vampire, they really are like that in real life hahahha.
Didnt realise Rhys Darby was in this, recognise that voice a mile off
Rhys? Present.
they have to make more movies like this. i also like the series. great choice and reaction
Spon on with that Beast prediction, lol. This movie and the TV series are simply brilliant.
Fun Fact: The Cops that show up got their own spin-off show where they keep accidentally running into paranormal stuff. They just finished their Third Season.
There's two TV shows, the American 'What we do in the Shadows' with new characters but a few guest appearances of old favorites and also Wellington paranormal with the two police (and guest appearance by Nick!). They are both absolutely amazing!
While this - along with ‘The Lost Boys’ - are among my favourite vampire movies, one I’d recommend even higher is ‘Near Dark’.
Lost boys is so damn good, might watch it tonight now
From Dusk till Dawn, John Carpenters Vampires, The Night Flyer, George A. Ramero's Martin, and Lifeforce along with the two you mentioned are my favorites and if you have not seen these check them out.
@@spencerreed6014 I really dig ‘From Dusk ‘Til Dawn’, I like ‘John Carpenter’s Vampires’ (especially James Woods’ character), I haven’t yet seen ‘The Night Flyer’ (but will add it to my list), I like ‘Martin’ (but always thought it could benefit from a remake), & I really need to rewatch ‘Lifeforce’ (I remember thinking it was really weird, but in a good way).
Oh Near Dark is really good.
Other more “indie” vamp movies I love are Let the Right One In, Only Lovers Left Alive, and Byzantium
If you were up for three more hours of it then you definitely need to watch the TV version, as there are now two seasons of it (hilariously executed) as well as two seasons of Wellington Paranormal, another spin-off from the movie, featuring the two cops and their ongoing encounters with every imaginable paranormal event which plagues them. Both series are top-notch TV comedy mockumentaries.
Written and directed by Taika AND Jemaine Clement. Credit where credit is due. Jemaine is brilliant too!
Been binging a lot of your videos lately. I love the reactions as they seem genuine and it gives me a reason to watch the films/series again. Keep up the good work!
I’m SO glad you liked this! It’s one of my favourites and one of the most underrated movie of the century!! So good! “.... I’m bidding on a table..”
My favorite trivia is that Stu went on to be like one of the lead vfx persons on Ragnarok
The practical and special effects are dope. Pretty sure any project filmed in New Zealand has crazy access to small studios that can do that shit in their sleep. That's what happens when 1/4 of the country gets involved in filming Lord of the Rings
YES DUDE. This and Hot Fuzz are the best modern comedies period. That the movie can be so funny and have such unexpected depth to it as well in like a gut punch scene towards the end is just amazing
Got so excited when I saw the title! This is my official 3rd favorite film ever. The humor is just amazing and witty. A great idea taken to perfection.
Literally watched this because I knew I would see unadulterated joy on your face the whole way through.
Was not disappointed
one of my favorite movies of all time! so glad to see someone on yt finally react to it
The entire movie is improvised. There was a script, but Taika and Jemaine didn't let the other actors read it.
Man I really love your reactions, ur sense of humour, appreciation etc. Well done.
Literally saw this movie for the first time yesterday, then you post a reaction to it. What are the odds lol
Me too!
i love this series because it feels like you’re watching something you’ve already seen with a friend just to see how they react
3:27, the vampire is Count Orlock from Nosferatu.
I also like swedish Let the Right One In, if we're talking about vampire movies
1000% yes
Definitely one of the best vampire films.
The tv series is freaking gold as is Flight of the Concords which features Jermaine clement in it (vlad) and the leader of the werewolves (Rhys Darby)
One of my favorite movies! I hate showing it to people because most of the jokes go over their heads, or they say it’s boring. I love how much you loved it!
I'M SO GLAD YOU WATCHED THIS! My uncle showed the movie years ago when I was like 16, an I absolutely loved it. It's pretty funny!
i get so much joy by just watching you having a splendid time and a lots of laughter, thank you for keeping my day bright :))
I am so happy you reacted to this one, its one of my favorite movies and I tend to try to get my friends that havent seen it to watch it.
This movie is just so great! I came across it by accident in the library and brought it home and I'm so glad I did. What a hoot! One of the best comedies I've seen in years.
In canine social circle Stew is already considered high as he is standing right next to the alpha.
Stew best boy
The next Taika Waititi film you should watch is Boy. Its probably one of his best films in my opinion
Watched this when it came out, was such a great surprise. Couldn’t believe you were reacting to it😂.
You have become one of my favorite content creators. This movie is awesome. Even the show is really good.
Jermaine Clement is also in the film, too.
Also check out the show: 'Wellington Paranormal', it features the two Cops from this in the lead roles and is rather delightful!💖
I REALLY hope you’ll end up watching the show on FX. It’s currently in its 3rd season and it’s the best shows on television. It follows a different group of vampires on Staten Island, but Taika and Jemaine make guest appearances reprising their roles in a few episodes.
Taika Waititi has said that he is actually planning on making a sequel to this movie called "We're Wolves".
This is one of my all time favourite movies. The theme tune is even my ringtone!
This is one of my favorite movies. So glad you reacted to it!!
This makes me so homesick for my home town, Wellington 😍
I love this movie so much! It’s in my top five “feel good” comedies. I show it to everyone I can lol ✨
