'Roger Corman's Revenge' would have been a shorter title. The second and final part of this deep dive into B-movies influenced by 'Alien'. I know 'Creatures of the Abyss' isn’t an Alien knock off, but it is a masterpiece and it has much in common. More importantly I didn't want to start with 'Alien Terminator' because it's rubbish.

such gems. they arent that bad when you have a young bryan cranston in it
species was one of the best during that era
I really liked Annihilator when i was a kid.
Ah when movies were fun and didn't take themselves seriously. You can feel the director winking at the audience saying we know it's dumb but we all having fun. I love this era.
I like Grizzly, but I love The Car, Alligator, and Piranha. Alligator while cashing in on the fad wasn't really a rip off. I really did it's own thing.
The amount of bigotry, racism, misogyny and general hatred of women in Hollywood (both in front of and behind the camera) will never cease to amaze me. The fact that many of these movies were allowed to be green-lit, filmed and distributed without a care in the world for their content shows just how deep much of Hollywood's racial erasure (blackface and the like), white savior complexes and cultural appropriation went (and, in many cases, still goes). Especially when it comes to productions outside the US (or those that are co-produced), as they somehow are worse.
i will be your friend forever if u make a mega compilation of every martial arts student yelling "teacher!" overdubbed from that era
I kind of like Class of 1992 2 The Substitute.
Thank you for introducing Me to this movie and all the actual lore behind it !
I feel deprived of a childhood not having seen these on weekend cinema or having the chance to rent them of VHS.
Another brilliantly produced and narrated upload. As I was just a lad when these were released, I’ve a never had much an opportunity or heard of many. My folks didn’t have cable, if they ever appeared there and broadcast television definitely never would have aired the like. Blonde and Brunette Buxom broads barring their cleavage and Broad Chested Barbarians Brandishing Cleaving Broadswords! …what’s not to love? I do remember fondly as a prepubescent youth staying up on weekends to watch GLOW - which would come on before? Or after Benny Hill of all shows HA. Such programming instilled a stirring in the young boy. Anyhow, I’ll definitely Need to check these out with the missus or the boy. Cheers
Man you really hit the nail on the head describing Elm Street's atmosphere as "woozy".
Conan still holds up. It is greatly helped by 1. Cinematography and production design. It looks like it had actual money behind it. Everything isn't shot in a cramped hallway or dense forest. 2. One of the best musical scores ever in a film 3. A sparse script that gives its non-actors few opportunities to introduce unintentional comedy.
The selling point of these movies at the time was usually a pretty girl and some boobs, pretty much taking over from Hammer horror in that department. Every now and then something watchable would turn up (i enjoyed Deathstalker). Fire and Ice got a limited run comic book series last year which was pretty good. As of posting just found a HQ version of The Sorceress on UA-cam. Cool, I'm guessing it won't stay up long.
you talk very seriously for movies that are insanely funny lol
The Criswell "cameo" was brilliant.
Amazing as always. Entertaining, informative, and hilarious.
'Fraud and forgery' 👏
6:30 Of course Mondo TV's most famous work is the utterly batshit Legend of the Titanic.
I never knew there were so many. No wonder I got into D&D
Sorceress is the best Conanxploitation movie ever made!
3:35 Sorry, I had to stop watching the video here to go listen to the full Ronald Jenkees banger. (Thank you for reminding me it exists.)
I gotta add Class of 1999 is a worthwhile watch, Pam Grier alone as one of the Teacher makes it worthwhile. Can you please if you do another video similar to this list possible applications and sites to watch these movies.
Please do "Best, Worst and Weirdest Mad Max knockoffs".
Yeah wtf at Night Killer's romance.
I cannot tell you how many B movie rip offs I watched as a kid in the 80's. God bless you Cannon films.
Aliens was released in 1986, not 7
Can he make the TMNTsploitation which meant all the ripoffs of TMNT.
Samurai Cop is one of my all time favorites.
This is my new favorite channel to watch on TV. Love the content!
Not sure if anyone has said so yet but the intro/opening titles is/are truly inspired. Love your work.
X-Tro---when a grown man being born...
No list of egosploitation is complete without MANOS: HANDS OF FATE, filmed by Harold Warren to prove that anyone can make a horror movie.
"Where did he come from, where did he go?"... Where did he come from, Cotton Eye Joe?
Imagine once making a movie where you oppose offshore oil drilling and years later you're a Trump supporter...
I want a T-Shirt that reads, 'You deserve to have a flailing dwarf thrown in your face.' Merch.
Of all things to connect most of these movies, I was not expecting it to be mustaches.
Deathstalker II is genuinely one of my favorite movies. I can pretty much take or leave the rest. That still doesn’t explain who has the ruby, though
Tsk tsk tsk, calling Czechoslovakia soviet is not a good idea.
Deathstalker was abysmal. Deathstalker II though, great movie that doesn’t take itself seriously at all.
I fucking love these videos
It's odd you didn't mention the fact that laser mission vhs and dvds shipped with the last 5 minutes of the movie and the credits were missing. I have owned 3 copies of the movie and never saw the ending....
I am kinda trying ro remember a horrbile movie, maybe was called alien evolution something and it should be around 2003/4/5 not really sure. I just remember that a group of astronauts come back to earth and find tha some aliens ant or praying mantis shape takes over the planet. Maybe I am confused a bit but not on the years and the insect thing
In the anime department, I'd say Legend of Lemnear qualifies for this. Kaiserbeamz' "Kyoto Video" series did a review of it, so look that up if you're interested. In prose at least, the "Sword and Sorcery" subgenre does seem to be making a modest comeback with the "New Edge" movement, which tries to adapt it to modern sensibilities.
"The Postman" must be the ultimate, high-dollar egosploitation movie. (Writer/director/star) Kevin Costner walks into a post-apocalyptic town, a total stranger, and the local kids literally break into spontaneous recitals of "America the beautiful", coz he's just THAT inspiring. Local women straight-up beg Kev for his sperm... WITH their husband's approval, because he's just THAT great of a guy!!! Costner was the ultimate savior, in al the 90s movies he directed/starred in. He stated off small, merely being white savior of an Indian tribe in 'Dances With Wolves'. But next two movies, he single-handed saved the entire world. I know he got dunked on a lot for Waterworld. But The Postman is truly superhuman self-glazing. Even Segall never got THAT ambitious, in deep-throating himself.
Xtro! That movie is fucking nuts.
6:53 and ive subbed ❤❤❤😂😂
AND boards of Canada mentioned shortly after?? Yes. I'm in the right place..🎉
❤ how did i just find this rare treasure?😅 idk but im glad i did. I am an absolute cinemaphile. Seen so many, and so many BAD movies (ill stick thru just to 😂 at how bad.) But there are only a few ive legit turned off. Ok im enjoying this
I am absolutely gobsmacked by how awesome YOU and YOUR CHANNEL are. This is one of the most entertaining and fascinating videos that I have watched on YT in a while and I am looking forward to binging all of your stuff! As a fellow UA-camr - (*chef’s kiss)
Thanks, I always did wonder how many knock-offs are out there. I did watch XTRO 2, schlocky as hell & they reused the Smart Gun prop from Aliens, but still dumb fun.
