"The boat wants to be a car..." I'm dead 😂
$40 million budget? But it looks so cheap, I'd never have guessed that high for it.
The cure for death thing really did get glossed over...guess the scriptwriters just didn't think about it.
Probably spent a lot on actors
Yeah probably spent $30 million on JCVD and his coke needs
The big bang theory joke...PRICELESS!
Yup
It’s over now, thank god. But no one is safe from syndication.
Bazinga
I lost it at..."why are all the orderlies wresters" lol.
The black dynamite references were dope.
How many times have I told you not to call here and interrupt my Kung Fu!
EUPHORIA SHUT THE FUCK UP I KNEW IT WAS YOU I AIN'T EVEN GOTTA LOOK.
Is there's no end to your kung fu treachery?
PhatGirlLuva68-ThelastOG Fiendish Doctor Wu, you done fucked up now!
Dnaovrimdan i know 5:16 is my favorite part of this review.
I think the best thing about your reviews is the joy you express about these films.
:)
The last two recent Universal Soldier movies were pretty damn good but went to something different, darker and more serious.
You had me at the the Big Bang Theory joke.
I just watched John Claude Van Johnson and it is glorious.
Jean-Claude Van Dame, Goldberg and Micheal Jai White!
How am I only finding out about this film now!
I forgot how bad this movie was
regeneration is my fav of all of them so dark and gritty jcvd brought his hardened face and experience to the role
Oh no, that Big Bang joke came out of nowhere and fucking killed me. A+
And of course I have to ask the obligatory "Why don't you have more subs" question; but honestly I'm just glad you make consistent work.
Had a huge burst in October but then youtube decided to change things and now I'm back to slow growth. (actually, its even slower than it was before) Hopefully they fix things because the past 2 months have been painful.
Good luck man, we're all rooting for you.
I discovered your channel late and I've been really enjoying going thru the archives. Your humor is awesome and I love the pacing. You give a lot of fun details about movies without letting it feel long or boring. This one, in particular, made me giggle multiple times. ("Gave him the pimp hand" ROFL). Stay awesome, man.
Thank you! :)
@@GoodBadFlicks have you ever seen stealtyer thevoldvscfi action movie fron 2005
I cannot hear Roundabout anymore without immediately smiling. I watched the credit rolls for every episode of Jojo's just to jam.
Yes! You should do an episode on 'Project Shadowchaser 3000'. It had the missing spacecraft idea two years before Event Horizon.
I had no idea the Romeo was meant to have been played by Steve Austin, that would have been hysterical lol.
Who would have thought that Universal Soldier would have been a series that has three seperate timelines lol
WhiskeyBrewer Yeah, the writers clearly got their JCvD movies muddled up! 😁
That sweet jojo reference made me legit laugh out loud.
nice video man I still watch this movie in VHS I think I'm the small part of people who still does that
I love Van Damme and the Universal Soldier movies (The ones with him of course). I've got to go revisit them sometime.
I remember watching this movie with my brother back on VHS. When JCVD and the reporter jump in to the truck and then Goldberg jumps and says "AW, SHIT" when he misses, we probably watched that part 50 times. Its still an inside joke for us when one of us messes up. Ah, good times.
The Big Bang Theory joke was spot on lol
:)
AMEN!
time stamp pls
Although quite a spot on joke "The Big Bang Theory" became a little bit of an acquired taste, I guess it would fit better now with "Two Broke Girls". P.D.: I love Kat Dennings but "Two Broke Girls" show is...... let say not very watchable and my reaction is more like the joke you did on the Trancers 2 review.
Cecil, I loved this movie. It was a great throwback action movie and Jean-Claude Van Damme was good in the movie.
You should check out Jean Claude Van Johnson. He is terrific in it.
Your big bang theory joke was perfectly timed as just started on my tv at the same time
Michael Jai White skills is totally wasted by Hollywood 😞
The first movie is total 90s cheese that's a lot of fun.
But damn those direct to video sequels by John Hyams are legitimately good action movies. Can't recommend Regeneration and Day of Reckoning enough. Damn fine films.
"Why are all the orderlies wrestlers?!" DUDE! Have you ever seen a person attacking another person?! You need a shit ton of strength sometimes just to hold someone back!
2:35 "Just unplug the goddmamn thing" Kkkkkkkk
Another slamming job on a very fun underrated sequel Cecil!
thanks!
My Stepdad and I went to see this in theaters back in 1999. I was apart of that $10 million.
I highly recommend both sequels after this one (Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) damn good films
Awesome Jo Jos bizarre adventure insert
my personal fav joke was about jumping into the truck filled with shredded script revisions.
so happy someone caught that :)
You have no idea how happy the jojo reference made me.
:)
Hey man, you really should have more subs .Your vids are great .
Thank you!
I agree.
Do Regeneration next. Good vid. Keep 'em coming!
i think this is one of the most underrated movies ever
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
Please don't tell this actually happens in the movie bahahaha
JOJO!!!!!!!!
JCVD, Michael Jai White, AND GOLDBERG! What more could you ask for?!
Regeneration and the later one. So, so good.
Keep doing what you're doing man! I love your videos. I study and sleep to them sometimes, also get some great recommendations. Your videos are like comfort videos.
Thanks!
Goldberg did more damage here than Survivor Series.
you gotta admit him yelling oh shit as he jumps is hilarious...at least it was for me.
The anime, Squid watches in the background at 4:25 is actually a hentai called Advancer Tina, I remember it :D
You filthy degenerate ! 😁
In another time, Bill Goldberg would have been a good Drax the Destroyer. Judging by his comedic timing in this. I could be totally wrong though.
Is Dave Bautista a bad Drax the Destroyer?
Respectfully disagree. I don't think Goldberg has any comedic timing. Hes actually about the same age as Bautista, only 3 years older. I give credit to Bautista. He is much better in that role than ever expected.
I'm a simple man. I see jojo memes, I like the video.
you are also simple minded as well for liking that garbage cartoon.
I LOST it at that To Be Continued joke XD
I remember when this came out. I think I chose to watch "She's all that".
doh!
Dude, no joke, I think this is my favorite channel. Your videos dominate my watch list, lol.
Thank you!
Jumping on the Goldberg bangwagon. Well played that man. Another top choice :-)
Thanks!
I usually don't give in to nostalgia much, but this one made me feel cosy and warm like I just shat myself with It.
4:17 whenever I see that photo of frank zagarino with that peroxided flat top, I can't help myself say out loud "I just love the 4th of JULLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY" 😂😂😂
When this movie was done. My friends and i were chanting "5 MORE MINUTES!!!" *Clap clap clapclapclap*
Was so much fun. August of 1999 was such a disappointing time for movies. Sooooooo many bombs. I think that was the peak of VHS rentals.
Ever notice that the scene were 4 UniSols stand outside the building shooting everything is very close to a scene in From Dusk Till Dawn 2, where 4 vampires stand outside a building and shoot everything?
6:13-Amen Cecil. I didn't have a cable modem till 2002. The pain.....
UNISOL sound like a line of action toys
Sounds like sleep medicine.
Sounds like a cleaning agent
It's obviously
The One & Only "Solar Panel" You'll Ever Need!!!!-------UNISOL--------
yeah my first thought was a disinfectant
That BIOHAZARD reference alone is worth a thumbs up 👍
Not gonna lie, your channel is the first i've sat down to and binge watched all your videos.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying them :)
I was watching making of Citizen Toxie, and the stunt man kept saying threat of actor getting goes 'geometricly' the more theydo.
Nice Black Dynamite tag there.
Seeing all these reviews is reminding me of when I was about 12 and also ruining that experience a little bit haha. My grandad had just a whole shed full of VHS tapes and I would scour it for hours finding what I thought were the most action filled and violent ones then watch them whenever I knew my mum or dad wouldn't catch me. But yeah ruining because my mind made all these films great, but seeing the reviews makes me realise that most of them are not so good
Was Squid the same guy who played 'the sidler' on Seinfeld?
Point of fact, 10 feet is point blank range. Point blank range is close enough that the drop of the bullet relative to the shooter is not a concern.
lol who else remembers Real player buffering
I remember those days.
Those were dark times for internet porn. It's best left in the long-long ago and not remembered.
I remember "✌🏼Lay-Zor✌🏼" Discs.
I like all of The Universal Soldiers Franchise!
Dude, your sense of humor cracks me up constantly!
The best thing about this movie was the soundtrack.
Seriously, there is a song named "Chaos" and I love it.
I had to give you a thumbs up after that Big Bang dig.
YES, A JOJO CLIFFHANGER IN MY GOOD BAD FLICKS!!!! YOU SIR ARE THE BEST.
:)
it's got Michael Jai White in this film and he's awesome in any film he's in
Squid was the manager of the Whamburger in Falling Down
"Geometrically, not exponentially?"
Yes, because apparently Seth is the only movie character in over a hundred years of humans making films to have ever used those terms properly.
Fun fact: I never saw this movie but for some reason I had the soundtrack on CD and listened to it all the time.
Clip at 5:18 made this your best good bad flick ever.
Thanks! Dyno-mite dyno-mite!
I appreciate the JoJo's Bizzare adventure meme man!
Really happy so many liked it :)
I grew up with Universal Soldier, I was fortunate enough to be able to watch them in release order. When I was younger I would always try to head-canon the movies from 1 to Return together. None of them are as good as the original, but I would say 1 and Regeneration are the two best, with the Pilot movies being the worst. All of them have some enjoyment in them, you may have to look for it, but it's there.
"Geometric expansion" is a thing. Look at geometric sequences.
So glad you have a review for this 🙌
JOJO? in MY goodbadflicks ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA
:)
Best use of jojo reference in a CZcams video. 👍
"The boat wants to be a car," BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The "He's not a Unisol anymore" plot point is a classic case of bad writing not thinking things through. Not just the "doesn't that mean they CURED DEATH?!?" plothole, but the entire emotional core of the first film (inasmuch as it has one) is centered around the fact that Luke Deveraux is dead, and his fight to reclaim whatever remains of his life. It's like if RoboCop 2 had come up with some handwave to put Alex Murphy back in a fully human body instead of his tortured half-life as RoboCop. Craps all over the entire point of first film. Moreover, as its repeatedly stated Luke isn't as strong, fast, or tough as the actual Unisols anymore, it gets increasingly unbelievable that they continually fail to stop him, and that the supposedly "Super Unisol SETH" is barely more than a slightly-more-difficult Boss Fight compared to handling multiple basic Unisols. Making the hero the underdog is one thing, but making the supposedly-badass badguys utter incompetents the second they get within ten feet of the hero is just bad. And you still could have kept Luke a Unisol AND had him be the underdog: instead of the bare-bones exposition that Luke isn't a Unisol anymore (which makes no sense), put in exposition that these are "Mark II" Unisols who are superior, and SETH Super-Unisol is even more advanced, but Luke's experiences in the first film have fully restored his memories and humanity, so in the spiritual sense, he lives again, but still has Unisol superpowers. That's called having your cake and eating it too. Sometimes it *is* possible.
I immediately hit the like button after the Big Bang Theory joke... LOL
You have an awesome laughter :-)
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Lol the Big Bang Theory joke, I loved it. I think me and you are on the same wavelength.
Cecil made a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference in this episode. Nice.
:)
Romeo enters a room - "S.T.A.R.S"
Biohazard, Gwar, I see that you are a metal fan... I like this
Indeed! I've put lots of metal references in over the years.
"The part was supposed to go to Stone Cold Steve Austin..."
I legitimately didn't realize that wasn't him until you pointed it out.
"FIGHT OVER WHO HAS THE THICKEST NECK" lol
5:18 like the black dynamite theme.
Aww, he left out the running gag of Romeo constantly saying "I hate that guy..." every time Luke gets one over on him.
I didn't understand what was happening at 4:00 with the 'two bodies thing' until I re-watched that part. I assumed I was missing something, maybe to do with the containers around them. But no, I was overthinking it. Waaaaaayyy overthinking it.
I came here in hopes of a lot of references to Black Dynamite. You did not disappoint, as always :)
Also: the Roundabout-insert was freaking perfect.
Thanks!
plz plz dog soldiers,such an under rated movie with epic horror comedy :D i think it would fit so good in this series.And im sure u would probably come upp with some funny jokes in there too XD
Remember video games with Real Player style vignettes?
Holy Shit, I couldn't stand going online in the late 90s!!
I had little patience, and only access to a shitty dial up.
Another great! It would be really interesting to see how you put these together. Maybe behind the scenes video next?
planning on one for next year
This is such a relaxing show
Man your guitar solo intro was perfect, this one not so much.
The old music was just generic licensed music used for ads and background for commercials. The new one I own and was created by my friends Psychostick. Its also 7 seconds long so it gets to the video faster.
never thought of airboats as hovercrafts
4:28 LOL what ANIME IS THAT ONE?! LMFAO!
The soundtrack to this film was actually pretty good.
