Ahh, John Carradine...He did all those cheap Monogram films in the 1940's in order to keep his Shakespeare theater company going. But when the company went bust, that was it--Carradine found himself entrenched in schlock, and with few exceptions (The Ten Commandments, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) he stayed there. Still, props to him and his love of Shakespeare!
Don’t forget this was one of the first films shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (or at least the PSYCHO A GO GO/ECHO OF TERROR footage was).
I believe it was in Monster A Go-Go (1965) where the sound of a ringing phone was just some guy off camera saying "Brrrrrr" (which you did a review of). That had to be the ultimate "I don't care anymore" moment by any director.
Didn't Ian McKellen burst into tears when they had him squeezed into a mocap suit with dots pasted all over and completely isolated on a green screen set? He wept that all he ever wanted to do was be a stage actor and it had come this. They all get there eventually.
Al Adamson was a hack with all the talent of a depressed slug in a volcano. Poor guy had such a tragic fate, too. Killed by the guy he'd hired to build something for him in a murder plot reminiscent of the plot of one of his films.
Easy answer: the point in "Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny" when the latter arrives on the beach (after the decoy didn't-care Thumbelina segment) and Claus starts monologuing about their venerable relationship as ICB nods robotically. "Not caring" and "Not trying" meet in a glorious moment of Super 8 effervescence.
Oh well there’s the problem, you’re watching the wrong version! 😁 You need to see the cut that runs “Jack and the Beanstalk” in the middle instead of “Thumbelina”, the pathos and hard-fought life lessons that Jack learns inspires the children to redouble their efforts to… to… oh, and then Santa, he… he… Ice Cream… Bunny… 😥 I’m sorry, I just can’t, that movie is simply too horrendous to put a positive spin on, I’m sorry for trying to be clever and amusing 😭😭😭
This is a favorite bad movie of mine! :D It's hard to decide if the stunning badness of the film is its most interesting feature, or its fascinating history as a jewel heist film that got cut and recut and recut into an unrecognizable mess. I have also seen the original "core" movie, "Psycho A-Go-Go", and it surprisingly isn't half-bad! It almost feels like a fork in the road where Al Adamson could have either become a bit more of a critical darling or the King of Schlock, and the moment where he went, "You know... editing in a scene where the guy gets wires stuck in his brain couldn't hurt too much, could it?" sealed his destiny forever.
@@montag4516 Severin Films released a MASSIVE 30+ movie Al Adamson Blu Ray set a few years ago that is everything you're asking for and more, but sadly it's out of print and very expensive now. They have been releasing some of his movies after the fact as singles, though (including "Dracula Versus Frankenstein", "Carnival Magic", and "Brain of Blood"), so there is always a chance they'll also put the "Psycho A Go-Go / Man With The Electronic Brain / Blood of Ghastly Horror" trifecta out as a single Blu Ray eventually, too.
Has anyone noticed that the first two of the three elements that make up the plot of “Psycho-A-Go-Go” (the failed heist and crazed psycho) constitute the grounding for the whole plot of “Reservoir Dogs”? Just saying.
Yeah, a lot of actors who'd enjoyed better days ended their careers by appearing in schlock. Carradine (who went from Captains Courageous, Stagecoach, Jesse James, The Grapes of Wrath, Blood and Sand, etc. to films like this, along with Vampire Hookers, Hillbillys in a Haunted House, ad nauseum) is just another Basil Rathbone (Adventures of Robin Hood to Autopsy of a Ghost) , Ray Milland (The Lost Weekend to The Sea Serpent), Broderick Crawford (All the President's Men to Hell's Bloody Devils), Cameron Mitchell (Carousel to The Toolbox Murders). . . Yet even at this point in their later careers, once in a while a film worthy of their talents crept in: Scott Brady, for example, went from The Might Gorga to The China Syndrome and Gremlins; his brother Lawrence Tierney who basically drank his way out of potential movie stardom made a pretty impressive comeback after showing up in some cheapies like Wizards from the Demon Sword to having a major role in Reservoir Dogs -- and beyond. Carradine got a nice bit in The Shootist. Maybe efforts not reminiscent of their glory days, but either for the dough or just to keep active, bless 'em, they remained in front of the camera and, yes, still were fun to watch.
Not knowing when to stop editing your movie can be a problem. My friends and I keep tinkering with our first film, "Attack Of The Rabid Rats" by adding so many more rabid rats scenes that we're forced to cut scenes with the plot and acting in them.
Poor John Carradine... at least no one can say he was afraid to keep working in the movies despite his health woes and declining interest in his work. He should get the Michael Caine "Yes, I was in that Jaws Sequel. So What!" Award.
When I saw this on TV, it was called Man with the Synthetic Brain. That opening with the zombie strangling five people soured my apppetite as I was eating lunch.
That happened (and still does) to many a child actor. They get older and have trouble finding roles. Some leave the business, some go behind the camera, and some end up in crappy movies. And a few manage to come out the other side and make new acting careers.
Side note: many wonder why Tommy kirk fell out of the public eye; one main reason is he got into it with John Wayne, Wayne disliked Tommy because he was gay. When Wayne got in his face, Tommy knocked him on his ass. Wayne helped destroy his career. ❤
Kirk was fired by Disney from Sons Of Katie Elder (a Wayne film) because of a marijuana bust. Where is the evidence of this alleged dust up with John Wayne you are relating? Is this a story Kirk himself has told?
@termsofusepolice he was asked about it years later ( he didn't want to discuss it for years), yes, and others confirmed it. Of course, the bust had a lot to do with it, but by then he was known to be gay. Still a great actor!!
This is not exactly what you asked for, but it came to mind. I know his films are awful, he couldn't write dialogue for s..t, the acting is wooden at best, and the sets and props cheap as hell, but I never got the impression Ed Wood ceased to care. In fact, I think he cared very much, just didn't have the resources or budget. I think he only stopped caring when he stopped directing and only wrote stuff that others made.
I concur that Al Adamson must be some kind of mad genius to have recut this movie into so many more movies, and still keep the plot here somewhat coherent. As for a movie where you can pinpoint the exact moment the director gave up, for me, it'd have to be the eruption in _When Time Ran Out_ Irwin Allen movies were famous for their spectacular destruction scenes, and for his final disaster movie, what do we get? A poorly-superimposed explosion with no impact, eliciting more laughs than gasps.
The notoriously awful "Geteven" has three different versions, each with a different title. Admittedly, I've not been brave enough to watch any of them, so I'm not sure if each version was simply a re-edit or if any new footage was shot. Four different released versions of "Blade Runner". Have they stopped mucking about with the original "Star Wars" yet? 😆
I would blame the constant re-edits on Independent-International producer Sam Sherman, who just couldn't release any film he acquired as-is. After Al Adamson's tragic death, obituaries kept calling him a 'horror movie director' even though only a quarter of his output was horror, and it wasn't even his preferred genre.
Not only do they rob jewelry stores , they also bet the League Of Long John Silver Impersonators at Football. When did the director give up? Looks like the director gave up on THE BEAST OF YUKA FLATS before it even started.
If it wasn’t crazy Al Adamskn to begin with, this could have been the perfect title for an intentional spoof of over-the-top Italian/Mexican horror. As it is, we have another four or five Adamson movies trying to be one.
It's kind of sad just how many terrible films the great John Carradine was in. Then again, since his career spanned half a century and included something like 400 + films, I guess that's inevitable.
I would have said that the jewellery heist went with surgical precision, myself Films where I can pinpoint the moment the director ceased to care... you've already mentioned one 'Revenge of the Sith'. Another two that come to mind are Star Wars 'The Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones'
Tommy Kirk was in Swiss Family Robinson an Old Yeller Then he began showing up in B Movies 🍿. Which was ✅. Ok. Personally my Favorite B Movie with Tommy Kirk is Mars Needs Women. B Movie get to bad rap. There just FUN to Watch. So just Enjoy 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿. Yes they can be bad. But your just watching to have fun escape time from your daily routine.
Great job, funny, 💯 true, and, as always, has your touch. Great job on an absolute train wreck( well, 4 of them...3?...Whatever😂) and thanks for your channel. Peace
Al Adamson is the embodiment of the principle, if you don't succeed the first time, redo it. Again and again and again and again. I have actually become a fan of Al Adamson in recent years. He definitely has a unique touch. What happened to him was so tragic, but he might have taken some pride in going out like in one of his own movies. I always said that Adamson was to the sixties and seventies what Ed Wood was to the fifties. And both had their involvement in the soft core market. But the biggest difference is that Adamson had a ready-made market - the drive-in theater - and he knew how important it was to be able to distribute his films. Plus, he knew precisely what his audience wanted. Ed Wood ... didn't.
I think Jerry Warren’s films are worse (but much more fun) but Adamson did make ‘Horror of the Blood Monsters’ and that does have to be one of the worst films ever made. Larry Buchanan’s movies are more boring than both of their efforts, though. Some of my brain cells die every time I type his name.
@@markdavidwelsh3340 my comment was more referring to both directors using already existing movies and filming new scenes to get a new narrative. At least Al Adamson used his own movies as opposed to Jerry Warren who took other people's films and added his own scenes and would even try to take credit for the original film's scenes.
Ahh, John Carradine...He did all those cheap Monogram films in the 1940's in order to keep his Shakespeare theater company going.

He was one of a kind.
Don’t forget this was one of the first films shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (or at least the PSYCHO A GO GO/ECHO OF TERROR footage was).
Yes, it's very crisp, it's shot very well.
You can tell
He was also a camera operator on the multiple Oscar-winning "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?".
I believe it was in Monster A Go-Go (1965) where the sound of a ringing phone was just some guy off camera saying "Brrrrrr" (which you did a review of). That had to be the ultimate "I don't care anymore" moment by any director.
On Mystery Science Theater, even Joel and the bots can't do more than just laugh and say, 'Unbelievable.'
@@findlesplurb "Yes, I made that phone noise."
That scene's legendary, but no one warned me of the scene in "Future War" where the camcorder was a cereal box with a toilet roll taped to it.
“The Dark Corners _Revenge of the Sith_ Award for Unintentionally Hilarious Use of the Word NOOO” is by far your best award yet.
"...so he phones her." 🤣 The telepathy vs telephony debate claims another innocent victim...
"Hey everyone! He's a Phony! A big fat Phony!"
I like the way that John Carradine seems to have bathroom tiles on the wall of his lab/office. And is that a shower curtain I see behind him?! 😂
Poor Tommy Kirk. He was the darling of Disney when I was a kid. He seemed like a decent guy.
He should not have allied with the Martians.
@@maplebob23 Coincidentally, I just finished that film. In spite of Larry Buchanan's image, it's very entertaining.
Tommy was fired by Disney when they found out he was gay. He ended up cleaning carpets. RIP
Kirk was fired because he was caught having sex with a 15 year old boy at a public pool and the boy's mother contacted Walt Disney.
@@nylaandrew When they found out he was gay AND sleeping with an executive's son.
Everyone in these movies always look like they’re filming in July in a building without AC
Very true.
"I used to work with John Ford." Yeah, sadly like Bela Lugosi, poor ol' John Carradine had seen better days before slumming it for the paycheck.
unlike Bela, he had to work or else others wouldn’t have a job and his kids wouldn’t have food…
@@bostonrailfan2427yeah, three wives half a dozen kids or so. The bills do get big.
Well, how many ex wives and children did he have? Plus, he had to fund his Shakespeare theater troupe
Didn't Ian McKellen burst into tears when they had him squeezed into a mocap suit with dots pasted all over and completely isolated on a green screen set? He wept that all he ever wanted to do was be a stage actor and it had come this.
They all get there eventually.

Ironic, I remember reading about his death and it was on Inside Edition news show!
Easy answer: the point in "Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny" when the latter arrives on the beach (after the decoy didn't-care Thumbelina segment) and Claus starts monologuing about their venerable relationship as ICB nods robotically. "Not caring" and "Not trying" meet in a glorious moment of Super 8 effervescence.
Now that is a cinematic masterpiece! The Ice Cream Bunny itself may just be the creepiest thing in human history.
Oh well there’s the problem, you’re watching the wrong version! 😁 You need to see the cut that runs “Jack and the Beanstalk” in the middle instead of “Thumbelina”, the pathos and hard-fought life lessons that Jack learns inspires the children to redouble their efforts to… to… oh, and then Santa, he… he… Ice Cream… Bunny… 😥
I’m sorry, I just can’t, that movie is simply too horrendous to put a positive spin on, I’m sorry for trying to be clever and amusing 😭😭😭
Wow! This is actually chronologically impressive!
'Highlander II'... opening Credits!
" A confusion. A lot of confusion . Confusion up in your a..."
Wow, watching this you can almost hear the crazy assemblage of spare parts clanging around in a giant blender.
This is one of those films that might make you think, *”This just doesn’t work at all! Why does it work so WELL?”*
"Psycho A Go-Go" makes me think of Batfink's archenemy Hugo A Go-Go.
I can pinpoint the moments when I cease to care. Often when the Marvel logo appears
The opening crawl for "The Phantom Menace"?
Thanks for the video, and for having recovered the subtitles 😊
I'm working on getting subtitles back up on all videos. Sorry for the lack of subtitles recently.

From what I've read, he's was forced. According to Kim Newman, the first version was the best.
