Well, in this case, the Female lead is played by Lisa Niemi. She is Patrick Swayze's real life wife and widow. They actually worked is a few movies, together. But in this movie, I believe Patrick asked for her to be cast as his love interest.
"Most girls are down with fifteen minutes." Legendary quote from the BEST movie review channel on the internet! I'm so glad I found you guys! Congratulations on 💯 episodes! Here's to the next 💯 !!
7:02 That ship is the Eduard Bohlen and it's in Namibia. It's barely 1,000 feet from the ocean, but because it's a desert, it looks like it's further out. There's also a huge collection of ships stranded in the desert of Uzbekistan as well. Erin nailed it at 13:50 because Brion James was exactly 6'3" so give her a prize! That was an amazing guess. He didn't even make it to 2000, but died in August of 99 sadly. Heart attack at a young age. Congratulations on 100! You deserve it. Love the fast forward edits with text about what you were discussing during the slow parts. It perfectly fits what everybody does during a boring movie, though any movie that makes Erin snort can't be all bad.
I liked him a lot. He was in a ton of movies. I will always remember him for Southern Comfort. The Tales From The Crypt episode with him was also great.
This is basically a post-apocalyptic version of the 1953 western Shane. Congratulations on the 100th episode btw. PS: the guy who played the mummy is called Arnold Vosloo.
@@andreascj73 What version of Shane did you watch? He didn't die, he killed Palance and rode off with the young lad shouting "come back Shane" at the end credits! At least thats how I remember it.
@@Keefymonoped It’s ambiguous, but Shane has a bad wound, that would’ve needed treatment; so many think he rode off to die, so the boy didn’t get further traumatized or something. 🤣
7:02 that shipwreck is the German cargo ship Eduard Bohlen. The shipwreck is located in Namibia, Africa. The region is called the "Skeleton Sea". The Eduard Bohlen ran aground just off the cost (about 100 meters off shore) in 1909 due to heavy fog. Over the decades, the desert has claimed that part of the coastline and the beach actually lies 500 meters further out. They kept the water out of frame so it makes for a perfect short of a post apocalyptic dried ocean.
4:51 - This guy played a Japanese soldier stationed on a Pacific Island who didn't know WW2 was over in a 1981 Italian movie (produced in the US) called 'Who finds a friend finds a treausure'. The 2 main actors are kind of legends in Italy, but objectively it's a so bad it's good movie (though not as bad as the average movie in this channel). I know you guys probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but Italian viewers might be impressed by my catch. LOL.
Since I’ve found you guys I honestly can’t stop watching. One of the few things that gets me through the week lol. Congrats and thanks for the many laughs. If only Dave and off cam Pam could have been here to celebrate this glorious occasion!
Congrats on 100! And congrats on getting Brion James' height spot on - he was, indeed, 6 foot 3 inches. And the guy from The Mummy is Arnold Vosloo. He pops up in all sorts of stuff, and he's always AMAZING.
@@doctorthirteen1700 You're right - he was in both sequels (Darkman 2: The Return of Durant and Darkman 3: Die, Darkman, Die), replacing Liam Neeson. Sadly, the sequels rely heavily on knowing what happened in the first film, so wouldn't make for the best viewing experience on their own.
“Most girls are down for 15 minutes” That ending of the video. Priceless!!!! Thank you Erin for trying to make a lot of men feel better about themselves. 😂😂😂😂😂 And congratulations on your hundredth episode.
Congratulations on the 100th episode landmark! This show has become one of my favorites on CZcams, thank you all for such entertaining discussions/reviews, and introducing me to a number of fun movies along the way. Here's to the next 100!
"It's the apocalypse. Someone wants their water. Energy source, blah blah..." Yeah, that just about sums up the movie. But holy cow they knew how to make good use of a bunch of plumbing supplies. 😂
I swear, Arnold Vosloo very well may be the reincarnation of Imhotep because the man does not age. That being said, congratulations on your one hurndranth episode! Here's to one hurndred mur 🍺
I never thought I'd get to see Patrick Swayze fight British Nikki Sixx. I would love to see an episode of your other conversations about Star Wars and 90s models. Thanks for another great video.
Congratulations on 100 episodes my Lords and Lady. And remember everyone. If you can, consider signing up for their Patreon so they can make this channel even better! Damn, look at me over here shillin' like a villain. 🤣 However as a fellow Lord, I feel it is my duty to do so.😁
For some reason, it's always funnier when Jason crashes. Just like it's always more entertaining when the Fair Queen is really drunk. Congrats on 100 episodes, and thank you for making the internet a much more enjoyable place to be!
Movie suggestion: Skullduggery (1983). It's a crazy 1980s slasher / horror movie where the main character gets insane from playing RPGs and tries to murder people in his knight armor. Every woman in the movie is insanely horny and he kills them in crazy ways like with steam from a pipe or with an iron. Super bad movie but awesome.
Nice. If you haven't, you guys need to see 'Hell Comes To Frog Town' Its another post apocalyptic film here frogs have mutated into human form and it stars Rowdy Roddy Piper. Won't spoil the plot, but the film is so much fun.
If this was the one where dual-wielding hair band man says "Bury me with my swords", I remember being amazed by how stupid this was as a kid on summer break. Amazing.
The bewigged swordfighting guy is Christopher Neame. Greatly respected across the pond I'm told, but I have yet to see him in an American production where he didn't just go full-on, sandwich-shop ham-and-cheese and it is always GLORIOUS. Speaking of glorious, happy HUUURRRRdredth episode, and may you have many hundred more!
I remember this as another one of those movies you caught on cable because it was only in theaters for a week. The funny thing is this was actually before Road House.
I think I saw this as a kid when my mom rented it from a Major Video. She saw Patrick Swayze and neglected to read that it was a post-apocalyptic film.
Not that it particularly matters however yes, those are sails. Land sailing is a thing. legit thing with three wheeled 'skiffs'. You can have hard sails as it's just an airplane wing sideways. Also you can 'capsize' them if you have too much sail up in the wind and it sucks hitting the dirt at 20mph.
Bryan James died in 1999. He posthumously appeared in: 1. Diplomatic Siege - 1999 2. Dirt Merchant - 1999 3. Arthur’s Quest - 1999 4. Farewell, My Love - 2000 5. The Operator - 2000 6. The King Is Alive - 2000 7. The Thief & The Stripper - 2000 8. Pheonix Point - 2005
850am in Alaska, coffee and dabs ready to go, HAPPY ONE HUNDRED EPISODES, EVERYONE!!!!! (Standing ovation from the mighty Decepticon Army) Congratulations on this milestone, guys, you've earned it!!!! Now here's to a hundred more!!!!
I just realized you reviewed Round House seven years ago. The most badass movie of all time, I will watch it and judge how you treated that masterpiece.
First of all congrats on 💯 episodes! What is not to love in this movie? Sand monster people, studded attires galore, desert ninjas! 🤩🤩🤩 onwards to a thousand more episodes!
The shipwreck at 7:02 is in Namibia. It was called the Eduard Bohlen and ran aground in 1909. And I'm down with ANY movie with Arnold Vosloo, doubly so when he's playing a villain. He's absolutely menacing.
I have vague memories of this movie, I think I saw it in grade school when my best friend and I pretty much ended up renting the entire sci-fi and action sections. Definitely did not leave an impression. Thanks for the nostalgia from an 80s kid.
Brio James was in the classic Southern Comfort movie and a logger in a Tales From The Crypt episode. The guy was awesome. Sucks he passed away back in 1999.
With all due respect, your girl is every nerd's dream! I would say how lucky you are but you already know. Keep up the great work and including your girl!
Looks like the shot most of this in Nambia. The ship in the desert is the Eduard Bohlen, which ran aground in 1909. Per Atlas Obsucra, the Namib desert has been dumping so much sand into the Atlantic, it's been moving the shoreline, which is now about 1000 feet from where is was when the ship ran aground.
I can't tell you how excited I am to see you not only watching this movie, but making it your 100th episode. This was THE gateway into my journey of the "dumb, but fun" genre of movies. I genuinely love Steel Dawn; I've seen it more times than I'd like to admit, and I never get tired of it.
The "upside down sword thing" isn't useless if it's used correctly. For instance, if samurai were in a confined space they could use a reverse grip to effectively make their sword shorter so they didn't strike the walls or ceiling accidentally (which was also a reason to carry the shorter sword or dagger, but with those you only had the short length to work with). It was much easier to draw a sword in confined spaces with a reverse grip because with a normal draw on a long sword you would basically be stuck having to make a wider arc that could get the blade stuck in something, whereas a reverse grip allowed you to clear the sheath (using the exposed blade to block if necessary while still partially in the sheath) and then bring your hand back to your left side (the blade moving in a smaller downward and forward arc) so the tip of the blade pointed towards your opponent for a stab. And with knives it is similar in that it can be much easier in certain close quarters situations to use a reverse grip (less movement to draw, and easier to stab down than shift regular grip to get the point towards your attacker). And then there are blades like the karambit that are designed to be effectively used with a reverse grip. The reverse grip became popular in movies mainly due to its use in the Zatoichi films (26 movies from 1962-1989, & a TV series from 74-79) which featured a blind swordsman who used his cane-sword that way (he was probably an inspiration for Marvel's Daredevil). There is a Rutger Hauer film called "Blind Fury" from 1989 that was a remake/homage of Zatoichi and you might find that interesting for the show. It has Sho Kosugi (he and Rutger have a sword fight), Meg Foster (in a short roll), Terry O'Quinn (dude from Lost), Randall "Tex" Cobb (always a great villain), and a somewhat annoying kid who was Hasselhoff's son in Baywatch for the first year. It is also a film where the main character was in Nam (that's where he went blind and then learned to use a sword... as you do).
12:00 Arnold Vosloo - He played the mummy and he was Darkman in the Darkman movie sequels. He took over the roll from Liam Neeson who played Darkman in the first movie. 13:50 Erin was spot on about Brion James. He was 6ft 3
I saw this when i was like 20 and didn’t hate it. I think i must have watched something really bad right before it LOL!! Thanks again, you fancy people! Happy 100th episode. And all hail the Fair Queen!!
I look forward to every movie review you do. Great fun! This movie was cleverly named Steel Dawn with the hopes of collecting the audience of Red Dawn. Very Mad Max'ish too; including the cinematic shot of the lone warrior with his dog.
Ahhh it's really nice to watch some people of culture. Tuxedos, diamond coronets, a superb movie and a fine collection of the best liquor. Formidable! Bravo! 👏🧐
Congrats on Ep 100! This movie commits the mortal sin of being boring. So many otherwise cool 70s, 80s and 90s action sci-fi movies suffer the fate of bad pacing. I do love Brion James though. He pioneered the henchman with his mouth always hanging open. May i recommend "Eyes of the Werewolf"?
The only bit I remember of this film from when I first saw it was someone standing on their head. Sounds like my memory did me a favour. Congrats on 100 episodes :)
I tried watching this, several months ago, by myself and couldn't get past the first 15 minutes. Watching this with the three of you was so much better. And funnier.
The character who plays Makker is Arnold Vosloo. In addition to playing the mummy in the the Brendan Fraser Mummy films he also was in Darkman 2 and Darkman 3, Hard Target (with Jean Claude Van Damme) and Blood Diamond.
Well, in this case, the Female lead is played by Lisa Niemi. She is Patrick Swayze's real life wife and widow. They actually worked is a few movies, together. But in this movie, I believe Patrick asked for her to be cast as his love interest.
I was wondering when someone will notice that it is his wife.
haha lol i just came here to comment that. they had a great marriage
I noticed her too. She’s actually not the nicest person, especially after he passed.
Is it just me or was the first kiss scene super awkward?
Wow, I always thought that was Kelly Lynch, and that she and Swayze were married. Thanks for sharing!

Makes sense because the movie was made in Namibia.
I liked him a lot. He was in a ton of movies. I will always remember him for Southern Comfort. The Tales From The Crypt episode with him was also great.
Halfway through I realized that the person responsible for the lighting now works exclusively for Steve Seagal . Great episode again.
Hah!
This is basically a post-apocalyptic version of the 1953 western Shane. Congratulations on the 100th episode btw.
PS: the guy who played the mummy is called Arnold Vosloo.
yes i saw that. that was cool
"There's no living with a killing, Jugs."
"Swayze, come back!"
Yeah, except Shane died ... and it was a much better overall movie with the baddest badass baddie ever: Jack Palance.
@@andreascj73 What version of Shane did you watch? He didn't die, he killed Palance and rode off with the young lad shouting "come back Shane" at the end credits! At least thats how I remember it.

When I was a kid I loved this movie on late night TNT and TBS.
That shipwreck on the beach was the Eduard Bohlen in Namibia, I believe. Awesome visual, but couldn't save the movie.
Steel Dawn is a futuristic remake of Shane. Like, every plot point and emotional detail.
Happy 100th, guys!! You deserve all the subscribers and likes you have and will continue to receive!
Fun fact..the rusty ship in the middle of the desert is a real place where the water dried up due to being diverted somewhere else.
I saw this when i was like 20 and didn’t hate it. I think i must have watched something really bad right before it LOL!! Thanks again, you fancy people! Happy 100th episode. And all hail the Fair Queen!!
Thanks so much!
I look forward to every movie review you do. Great fun! This movie was cleverly named Steel Dawn with the hopes of collecting the audience of Red Dawn. Very Mad Max'ish too; including the cinematic shot of the lone warrior with his dog.
Thanks!
Swayze must have had a clause in his contract that nobody in the movie could have better hair than him.
haha
Ahhh it's really nice to watch some people of culture. Tuxedos, diamond coronets, a superb movie and a fine collection of the best liquor. Formidable! Bravo! 👏🧐
We're highfalutin.
Congrats on Ep 100! This movie commits the mortal sin of being boring. So many otherwise cool 70s, 80s and 90s action sci-fi movies suffer the fate of bad pacing. I do love Brion James though. He pioneered the henchman with his mouth always hanging open.
May i recommend "Eyes of the Werewolf"?
Added it to the watchlist. Thanks!
100 legendary episodes👔👔👔🎀
The man who plays Sho with the British accent....is Christopher Neame an actual British person
What's funny about this is that I have actually seen this movie back in the day.
I googled the big head thing and apparently you're right! I'm on Brian's boat. I can never watch a movie again without noticing their heads.
"The Mummy" (Imhotep) was South African actor Arnold Vosloo (also in the Darkman films, Hard Target with JCVD and Blood Diamond)...
So glad you have now seen this travesty of a movie! Thank you! Happy 100th!!!!
Thanks!
Brion James was actually 6'3", so good call, Erin! James was always great.
The only bit I remember of this film from when I first saw it was someone standing on their head. Sounds like my memory did me a favour. Congrats on 100 episodes :)
Thanks!
I tried watching this, several months ago, by myself and couldn't get past the first 15 minutes. Watching this with the three of you was so much better. And funnier.
Not sure how I missed this episode, but after watching this and most of the rest...
...this is the most toasty I've ever seen them.
That poor kid...first his actual father dies...then Swayze comes along to become his new father figure...and well...
I’m not encouraging unhealthy choices but you guys being clearly plowed was fucking hilarious and needs to happen more.
The character who plays Makker is Arnold Vosloo. In addition to playing the mummy in the the Brendan Fraser Mummy films he also was in Darkman 2 and Darkman 3, Hard Target (with Jean Claude Van Damme) and Blood Diamond.
Thanks for the info.
An awful lot of “B.E.E.R.R.U.N beer run” 😂
Here's to another 100 🍾
Could easily cover the rest of Seagals filmography in that time 😏
Congrats on the 100th episode and thanks for some great content along the way. You guys are feckin awesome.🤘🏻🖤
Thanks!
