My dad showed me this movie in the early or mid nineties. When Fallout came out, I remember playing it and thinking, "I wonder if these guys saw A Boy and His Dog."
"They changed one of his lines, so he went back to the studio and tried to throw a producer out of a window." -- Sounds like a typical Tuesday afternoon for Harlan.
Great flick but the book has a little bit better detail and continues the story a bit after the movie ending...vic meets up with a chick with a gov.experimental lazer rifle
I remember always seeing this films vhs cover in the local video store. I always intended to rent it, but for some reason never did. I should give it a shot some day. By the way, I’m really excited for your next x file episode. It’s my favorite one.
Next X-Files video should be out Saturday. You should check the movie out, it's not hard to find. There is a copy on youtube, but they cut out all the mature content which makes it kind of pointless in my opinion.
I didn’t have a clue that this movie inspired the Fallout and Mad Max franchises. That’s really kind of neat. I only recently even heard of this movie. This is definitely going on my watch list. Awesome job on the video, by the way.
You strike again dude. Fallout, X-Files, Tales from the Crypt, Twilight Zone, you have a great taste 😄 I’ve seen this movie a looong time ago and all I remembered were the bunker and the “milking” scene. Still, it’s really basically Fallout/Wasteland the Movie. Thank you for this video.
@@JBSpookyReview ~ Blood is Jason Robard. He was also brilliant in 1000 CLOWNS about a guy who couldn't stand working a regular job trying to raise a kid pretty much outside the rules in 1960s society.
Wait I thought the main character was a mutant who has a special connection to the dog making him telepathic connection to the dog only and that’s why nobody else cant hear the dog
I avoided it for the longest time, because I was more into 80's movies and not so much into the 70's ones... And from the looks of it it looked really cheap... But since I found much love for 70's cienma in me a few years ago, I finally watched it like a year or two ago and was very, very satisfied! Sure, there are no mech-suits or Mad-max-liike car chases, but the underground segment is so... out there!
The part in the underground is almost like a completely different movie. I remember watching it and thinking to myself "why the hell do these people all have clown makeup on.".
I never saw the film until recently, but read the story way back. As happens so often, I thought the novella was better. That's not to say the film was bad!
Strangely enough, I once had a pet tiger named Dog... Don't think I knew about this movie before, an odd gap. I gets me some Logan's Run off what I done see. never been much of a one for post apocalypsies, because they're usually post WW3 and, well, no one will survive that. No one. I don't think, generally, people get just how much of human society depends on constant infrastructure. No, everyone would just be dead. I reckon the PA thing is probably down to our lack of being able to imagine a world in which we are dead, so, even though we can intellectually acknowledge WW3 would be amazingly fatal, we still can't help but see the aftermath, and then our brains think it's survivable. That's just a nitticus pitticus, I guess. Bugs me,. My fave PA movie is Mad Max, the first one. Because it's set during the collapse, and the collapse isn't nuclear. It feels a lot more plausible. Anyhoo. Your shoes, your roads, as Doctor Zhivago never said. I played FO3 and FO4 and the biggest thing I took away was how annoying they both were. Mainly, a lack of following through on the potential. The worlds were plenty big, certainly for the time, and that's a thingy I liked, BUT, they never used the scale for anything. Actual combat was in very tight confines. Even in the great outside there were so many hills, and buildings, and rocks, you never got much of a usuable space, and I, well. The only skill I have that I just got by random genetics, is I am a superb shot. I am ridiculously good with a rifle. Didn't ask to be, just happened to be. Not especially useful in England, of course, it's near impossible to get your hands on a rifle. Not trying to brag or anything, just explaining, my instant response to wide open game worlds is 'Frickin' A, man, I'm gonna get me a .308 and reach out to touch a few people...' but there's nowhere in Fallout you can use a rifle. Nowhere. The most snipey you can get is maybe two hundred feet, which is basically like having the baddies put their heads against the barrel. They never really delved into the interesting bits of their lore, neither, there are implications of things they do that they more or less ignore. I've seen R34 sites, I know what the public think about with Fallout. Plus, the new series, it's going to be awful, of course, it's a show being created by people who's first question is 'Do we have to do any scenes where we won't push our DEI agenda?' and who have never read anything more complicated than a Twitter thread on "How The Patriarchy gave me dire beasties.' and one of the biggest noticable symptoms in the vault dweller, flagship image, comes out of the vault in a spotless bright blue uniform with gleaming white t-shirt. So, no one involved with the production has ever even seen a fallout screenshot. Of course, wearing dirty worn out clothes implies that the stunning and brave girl who's the destined one is something slightly less than a perfect princess, so, can't be having that. Nah, man, it's going to blow harder than a smutty innuendo. IMHO. Prove me wrong, rainbow weirdoes, prove me wrong. Well, yes, but I woke up late and I've been ill.
The ending was off-putting - and the author of the short story the movie was based on (Harlan Ellison) was disgusted the film twisted his ideas so badly with the ending.
Ummmmmm.....sorry, but no. Fallout just happens to be the continuation of the Wasteland storyline I used to play on my C-64 (later128). The film however is a cold war piece of art....Dogmeat is a tribute to both the film and a dog from the original game named Rex when, in the first encounter at Highpool, you meet a boy and his dog.
@@JBSpookyReview dude....I am a hardcore OS gamer that just happened to play Wasteland on the old classic C-64. The Wasteleand to Fallout storyline is pretty well documented. As a matter of fact, the only referance to the old movie is the character "dogmeat" in Fallout 3...the 5th game in the series. There are plenty of other old movie references as well, so to say the game was based or inspired by 'a dog and his boy' just lets us old guys know how young you are. The one common carryover in wasteland to Fallout is the reoccurring antagonist...a computer that thinks it is in control.
@@juggaloprofessorknowbodyim3215 Yeah but wasn't Wasteland something that was discussed after the initially conception of a Post Apocalyptic RPG like the guys under Tim were like oh yeah our boss totally worked on Wasteland and there was some discussion of a wasteland sequel that went no wear or something. Plus I'm sure for the look and feel of a more technically and graphically rich game the team would have looked at popular films hell they may have even looked at what had inspired Wasteland as the suggestions of a sequel were made by studio heads. Either way the point of this ramble is to say that artists generally find inspiration from a large pool of media and life experience... So boy and his dog totally inspired fallout
@@MarathonGuy1337 there is a sequel: Wasteland 2. Great continuation of the story with loads of twists that are the set-up for Fallout. Wasteland 2 introduces the world of the Vault, Vault-Tec, and the origins of the protagonist carryover from Wasteland.
Idk about that, I think it’s just trying to exaggerate the immorality of this world. Keep in mind this story pioneered the post-apocalypse genre. Which of course, is definitely known for its cruelty
Showing something on film doesn't mean the director agrees with what's in the story or what the characters do. I think it's perfectly fine to show something and let the viewers make up their own mind about it, without ramming a moral lesson down their throat. We're not stupid, we don't need to be told what to think, we can think for ourselves. Some of the best movies are movies that make you think long after you've seen them.
My dad showed me this movie in the early or mid nineties. When Fallout came out, I remember playing it and thinking, "I wonder if these guys saw A Boy and His Dog."
Hmmm something tells me they may have.
The Down Under looks like it'd be part of a Vault Experiment with the facepaint and everything
Yup you can definitely see where the inspiration came from.
Looks like the British society from the game We Happy Few
R.I.P. TIGER THE DOG.
I know that's the saddest part.
I always thought blood wasn’t actually talking, but it was just Vic going crazy, and using blood to give him sanity even though he already crazy.
That could be a possibility.
I've been playing fallout forever and never knew about this.
I can't remember when I first found out about it, but I first saw this movie only a couple years ago and I was surprised by how much it inspired.
I heard about it around 1998.
"They changed one of his lines, so he went back to the studio and tried to throw a producer out of a window." -- Sounds like a typical Tuesday afternoon for Harlan.
Hahaha right.
One of my favorite films. I have it on bluray.
I need to get the bluray.
Great flick but the book has a little bit better detail and continues the story a bit after the movie ending...vic meets up with a chick with a gov.experimental lazer rifle
I love that film.
It's underrated I think.
"Politicians have finally solved urban blight."
A film classic no matter what.
I agree.

@@danskkr The one on RUclips has some nudity and gore cut out, It's a few minutes shorter than the full version
@@davesmith1588 no wonder the 14 year old me enjoyed it more!!
I recall when gametrailer's retrospectives brought this to my attention 10 years ago.
Love, Life and Anarchy also pointed this out.
Yeah I just wanted to do something fun since the show was coming out.
I didn’t have a clue that this movie inspired the Fallout and Mad Max franchises. That’s really kind of neat.
I only recently even heard of this movie.
This is definitely going on my watch list.
Awesome job on the video, by the way.
Glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely an interesting movie and you can see all the inspirations throughout.

I remember first seeing the "milking" scene and I was like "what the f***". I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching.
I love this film. A classic.
It's a great movie.
Fantastic movie, Blood is simply fantastic
Blood is the best part.

He was a baby here.
Watching fallout weekend, no spoilers
Oh don't worry I won't be watching it so no spoilers from me.
@@JBSpookyReview surprised to hear you don’t play games. I’m 40. Been gaming foreva
I GOT FALLOUT FEVER!
I think there's a cream for that.
@@JBSpookyReview sold by Vault-Tec im assuming lol
I never saw the film until recently, but read the story way back. As happens so often, I thought the novella was better. That's not to say the film was bad!
I've enjoyed both, but I think you're right.
You should do Hell Comes to Frogtown next.
I could add that to the list.
it's still a great movie.
Agreed.
That was awesome thanks!
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It's was not always about the money , it was about making art. Even when George miller escalated upon it.
I definitely agree with you.
@2:10 -- I think you mean "descendant of" .... not "ancestor of" 😂😂😂
Oh yeah did I screw that one up.
Is that the same dog as "Shaggy DA"?
I have no idea, but that would be awesome!
GREAT VIDEO BRO!!!
Thanks so much brother.
I havent read the book.
It's short, a little over 20 pages I think. You can easily find it online free to read.
Strangely enough, I once had a pet tiger named Dog...

Well, yes, but I woke up late and I've been ill.
Yeah I'm a fan of the 70's dystopic sci-fi movies and you're right this one feels like Logan's Run.
@@JBSpookyReview Certainly more than the dodgy sequel, Logan's Got The Runs...
This movies so good and weird
It's odd, but I like it.
The ending was off-putting - and the author of the short story the movie was based on (Harlan Ellison) was disgusted the film twisted his ideas so badly with the ending.
Yeah he seemed to like everything except for that ending which he thought was trash.
I watched it and dont get it. Its just a bad movie, pacing, dialogues, sounds, all hard to comprehend
Is have to say the opposite, that's a you problem tbh
Maybe try reading the novella. It's only 22 pages I think and you can find it for free online. That may help.
WTF?
???

Hey I take offence to that! lmao
The film is very dated and horribly sexist!
I can definitely understand your feeling on it.
Some woman act like this in 2024 .And men.
