Snakes...why did it have to be snakes?
Brandon Tenold mst3k joke it stinks 😂
Snakes are just worms with scales.
A Samuel Jackson movie line right hear😂😂😂
the atomic artist 64 😅
At least they ain't on a plane. Or a train.
When the snake bites Oliver Reed, one of them is going to die of a poisonous toxic substance.. and it not going to be Oliver.
@@GhostBusters-wb4un Oliver Reed was a British actor famous/infamous for his alcoholism, binge drinking and 'hellraising'. He died of heart attack after beating a group of sailors in a drinking and arm wrestling competition.
Giant devil snake frantically trying to spit out a mouthful of Reed's 190 proof blood...
I don't get it. Why, what has he said of late? (EDIT - apparently nothing, he is long dead)
@@rwd76 Clearly the most manly way to go out.
Yeah, Oliver Reed always had very lttle blood in his alcohol...
"I like to think that running around his mansion, sweating, and shooting at nothing, is just how Oliver Reed spent his evenings anyway" Ha ha ha. That made me laugh, but probably true.
Ah, the Jack Daniels IV.
Good times😀
That snake's children would later go on to eat cancer-infested rats and star in Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
I seriously wonder if this served as inspiration that.
Who would have guessed that the snake’s secret weakness was fully automatic weapons? That or adequate lighting...
"Bullets! My one weakness!"
@@richmcgee434
" how did you know ? "
Fun fact: the reason for the quality drop in the movies picture was because the print used for the Code Red release (which I assume is the one Brandon has) was missing a reel, so they had to use footage from the vhs release instead.
So the actors weren’t the only ones getting shitfaced. Did they ever find it? Seems like a pretty important thing to just go missing.
@@joiekelly3141 I am sure Banana-Man did the most exhaustive search ever for that missing reel. /S
@Joie Kelly I don’t think they did. Missing or unusable reels are sadly very common with many of the more obscure cult movies
"These two are poachers who have journeyed to the jungles of deepest darkest Ontario."
😆
They found the purest maple syrup. It's said to reverse aging. Unfortunately, it also carries a deadly curse...
I’d watch that movie
@@evbable eh what do you think all of us Canadian student film directors dream of
Yes were we have wolves and bears. And crazies.
Glad to see this one hasnt been struck with a copyright....if youtube doesn't work out, I'll follow you to whatever platform you switch to
Even pornhub?
@@tdpuuhailee8222 why not?
@@tdpuuhailee8222 well it would make all the erections less awkward.
@@mephosto you too, huh?
Peter Fonda and Oliver Reed in a 80s Canadian exploitation film about a giant snake.
I love the stuff you find.
A friend of mine used to know Oliver Reed really well; she and her husband would often stay with him at his chateau on Guernsey. He'd basically spend his nights getting absolutely, inhumanly pissed in the local pub then go on a Kong-like rampage down the high street.
Every night?! Damn.😳.. Dude needed a massive intervention..
"Hmmn... all the terror of a relaxing walk on the beach".
i suffer from kenophobia... a walk on the beach with all of that open empty space, open sky, kilometer after kilometer of water... just thinking about it fills me with suspense.
If Oliver Reed, Russell Crowe and Klaus Kinski sat down at a bar together...
God help that bar and our planet lol
Funny you should mention that since Oliver and Russell apparently hated each other while they were making 'Gladiator.' Throw Klaus Kinski into the mix and you just know something will happen.
Oliver Reed and Klaus Kinski actually were in a movie together.
Venom from 1981.
And, according to the director, they absolutely HATED each other.
I'm kinda surprised they didn't end up killing each other.
Now THIS is a perfect Father's Day gift. A Brandon Tenold review of a Canadian Snake movie.
That was the most lowkey Pentecostal communion I ever saw.
Oliver Reed was an amazing actor. He could hold it together to do a film or play, but if you watch interviews or TV appearances, you can see what he was like when he was in between projects. He could get insanely drunk.
Now that everyone is apologizing to sharks for „Jaws“, isn‘t it about time to feel a little sorry for the poor snakes who have been bullied literally since biblical times?!
Tell me about it. I am a Christian, and even I think snakes get a bad rap.
Anyone who's ever known an Indigo snake would feel bad about some fearful ignoramus killing one.
There are so many animals in Florida looking at you like “what the fuck man?!”
@SHRED SHREDDER Are......are you okay?
@SHRED SHREDDER dude yeah they eat, obviously
Not going to lie,
Before seeing the video, I thought this movie was about people having seizures while a huge anaconda squeezes them to death.
Better take some notes now
Have you seen 'Anaconda'?
I'm sure that's somebody's fetish.
I have epilepsy. Having a seizure can be a nightmare on its own, forget snakes (on a plane or anywhere else).
"I'd buy that for a dollar!" 🤣🤣🤣
It's legit scary how similar young Oliver Reed and Brandon look.
“ To prove to people that he can play James Bond and Pamela Voorhees“ LMAO!!!! ❤️
for people who don't understand Malay language:
Neraka = Hell
Pintu = Door
but the order of the usage is wrong, the correct one should be "Pintu Neraka".
so door in Malay sounds like a kid word for dick in Portuguese, just swap the u for an o. Neat
@@AverageAwesomeDude
Funnily enough lots of Malay words have Portuguese origin: jendela, garpu , almari , bendera etc.
If you're Portuguese you can probably guess what those are.
@@remliqa I’m Brazilian I haven’t come across any of those words so I think the Portuguese we speak split before those or those got lost along the way
@@AverageAwesomeDude
I can speak Portuguese so I didn't know the Portuguese words for them but these are what they meant in Malay:
Jendela =window
Garpu=fork
Almari= cupboard/wardrobe
Bendera=flag
@@remliqa oh forget what I said I hadn’t thought about them that phonetically but in portuguese its garfo for fork, janela for window, Armário for wardrobe, and bandeira for flag
Oliver Reed was an awesome werewolf.
They missed a perfect opportunity by not having Rowsdower as Kincaid
Was that guy in anything else besides Final Sacrifice?
@@theblocksays IMDb page: www.imdb.com/name/nm0593183/?ref_=tt_cl_t2 So, not much, no. Didn't realize he died in 2018.
@@theblocksays molly hatchet?
@@laurenwasinger9436 Was that a joke MST3K made about him? It's been a while since I've seen that one.
@@theblocksays callback to the episode, you betcha. I have a lot of lines from that one in my brain pan.
It might be because I'm on my 7th hour of graveyard shift running on 3 hours of sleep, but I thought that snake looked pretty badass. Glad they made it look monstrous instead of just being a blown up version of the real thing.
The snake legitimately looked pretty badass.
I lost it at “bad whiskey shits” 🤣🤣
CANUXSPLOITATION-A-THON was my favorite series that you made and now i'm so happy to see it return. Thank you Brandon!!!
You've made me contemplate snake buttholes. I may never sleep again.
It never ceases to amaze me how any country would let any large unknown animal or creature within its borders without heavy quarantine because it could be introducing all kinds of pathogens and also the fact that it could be extremely dangerous especially if it got loose in a populated area. But then they always go the way of King Kong. Big giant monster running amok and we never see the aftermath of these people being sued into oblivion and also going to prison.
BLOODY POND LIVES 😌
Cant wait to see the movie where after king Kong gets killed, we see how everyone gets super HIV.
Corona?
Hey, we can't all be New Zealand.
Piranha:
"She brought her child to a summer camp, only to be eaten by mutant piranhas. Film at 11"
Kingdom of the Spiders:
"I'm sorry sir, our insurance policy doesn't cover mass webbing"
Alligator:
"For the crime of developing an experiment growth hormone which culminated in a giant sewer alligator that ate countless people - including the mayor - I sentence you to 40 years in prison"
I’m sick and tired of all of these snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!!!
Don’t forget the “monkey fighting” part, lol.
Oliver Reed looks like he's fed up with being a Jedi, and has been living in seclusion on a secret planet.
Ah yes, my favorite movie trilogy: "Things", "(The) Stuff", and "Whatnot".
The burglar with a mustache that the snake kills is actor Angus MacInnes who was Gold Leader in Star Wars Episode 4. He also was Jean "Rosie" Larose the former Montreal Canadians rookie of the year turned asylum inmate/brewery worker in the "Strange Brew" MacKenzie brothers movie. "Nice goal against Czechoslovakia...Sorry about the nervous breakdown eh." The other burglar, Al Waxman, once was well known in Canada for playing the title character in the long running CBC sitcom "King of Kensington." He's the one who bloats in the van.
Always love the Canuksploitaion episodes. BTW, who's that doing the thrashed out rendition of O Canada?
"He's bloating.....HE'S BLOATING!"
They should sample that for a snarky gas relief ad
i'll never get tired of the "PSYCHT!!!" surprise attack!
“I might do my science project one of these days” -me in college
Remember when Oliver Reed was in Gladiator.
Average Joe He was great in that role.
Tragically died during production.
After drinking a few bottles of rum and beating several British sailors at arm wrestling.
Honestly, that's probably how he hoped he go out...
Remember when he played a werewolf?
The Three Musketeers!!!
3:26, RIP Oliver Reed. 1938-1999. I can't believe he died during production of the Oscar Winning Gladiator.
Here is a weird connection of Oliver Reed to Canada. His UK mansion, Broome Hall, was once a Canadian Army headquarters during the Second World War.
Brandon, you left out one thing, For a killer snake movie, it had a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, which is a rare for B movie horror
Dream just did one tune for the movie. ( and that was essentially music that hit the cutting room floor from another soundtrack. )
Oliver Reed and Peter Fonda? yeah, I'll be giving this one a look!
Spasms are amongst my favourite human uncontrollable reactions.
The way Oliver Reed looked back then I'm pretty sure he probably ate the damn cat
You know, Oliver looks a lot like old Mark Hamill.
At the climax, Oliver should have used the psychic connection to blow up the snake in spectacular fashion.
Since everything is filmed in Vancouver now, I wonder if all those count as Canadian films/tv shows as well.
“Not showing the monster is a technique to usually build suspense.”
Or you’re jaws and you have production issues.
Waaait a second
I do wonder is there a Canadian Killer One Eyed Trouser snake film? The could film it in Winnipeg as no one would be bothered with a giant killer Wang going down Portage and main, it happens all the time.
2:28 Apparently, even tribe folk can be slipknot fans.
Yay - been waiting for this since the trailer!
Anyone remember the 80’s film Alligator?
I’ve never met anyone who does
Are you talking about the Lewis Teague film? It's a pretty decent movie and it's here on CZcams.
Steven Gabbard really I didn’t know That thanks for letting me know
That pool scene haunts me to this day. It terrorized 11 year old me
It was on ABC one Sunday in early '82.
I only remember that movie for the scene at night where the kid falls in the pool where the alligator is. I had a weird thing about swimming pools as a kid, and that scene really hit me.
When some of my relatives lived in Tennessee in the late 1940s, there was a “snake handlers church” down the mountain from them. The members really thought God would protect them if they handled venomous snakes and drank strychnine. The trick was that the snakes were raised from birth being handled and so weren’t very aggressive and the poison was so heavily diluted as to be almost non-existent. But it happened that the local paper carried stories of worshippers being bitten and dying because, you guessed it, “They needed more faith.”
I've heard that some of those churches remove the snake's fangs.
The covers of this film remind me of the 2007 film primeval, about Gustave the crocodile. No part of the trailers or posters implied that it was about a monstrous crocodile. Only after seeing the dvd box cover with Gustave on in 3 months later did I realize What it was about.
"AmeriCanada!!!" Where Yank actors like Lee Majors, Peter Fonda, and Chris Makepeace routinely cross paths with Canuck ones like Michael Ironside, Ken Pogue, and Vlasta Vrana, and there's both a Prime Minister and President, who arm wrestle each other weekly for who gets to be in charge for the week.
"Cannibal Holocaust" and this flick, ripping off the Mudmen of New Guinea since 1980!
Tenold strikes again!
If I were acting in this movie, I'd take up heavy drinking too...
A guy being crushed by a crate, can we all say Wishmaster.
Make your..... wishhhh
Poor Ted Raimi
Shimwaster...wimshaster...swashmister...well it seems I can't say wamshister!
This is how I celebrated Father’s Day... watching this with my old man.
Is Oliver the main slave trader from Gladiator?
The very same
Wow alcohol fueled Oliver reed and peter Fonda in Canadian snakesploitation. What a thing!
You're right. He's not Captain America. He's Mephisto.
Reed was a "character",[AKA a difficult,drunk,and "hellraiser"]
O Canada, I will always love you for giving me such wonderful bad but good movies I can enjoy/make fun of MST3K style. And thank you Brandon for giving us more great movies.
Nice, another movie review!!!! I really like the way you present your movie reviews, I find them entertaining. I also like the movie art that is being used.. Thank you for posting, keep them coming...still lots of vintage/obscure Horror classics to review!!!! My favorite reviews are of movies like Squirm & Slugs, movie like that....
Now I'm envisioning you with Oliver Reed mustache. Reviewing a finished film? You Canadian Madman! And speaking of Canada:) The next marathon shall obviously be..... Revenge of the Son of Canuxsploitation-a-thon.
Alternative title: "Hot Ticket to Ontario".
14:25 Maybe its maybelline ...
The "pink-eye will give you heat vision" line is absolutely hilarious. Thank you for that one.
Slow down! So much awesome! Kick ass title card, Oliver Reed, Canadian snark, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper mention not involving the Lord of the Harvest... this Canucksploitation athon is going to be awesome!!!
You really should do Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.
Please review Gymkata. And I had no idea Obadiah Stane was the villain in this one.
Weres tony Stark
nice day to be alive
"My Science Project" is awesome, hope you don't tear it up too badly.
LET THE RETURN OF THE SON OF A CONUXPLOITATION-A-THON BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next year, how about The Mask (1961) and though they're not really Canadian, Fiend Without a Face and Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century?
Fiend Without A Face!
Winthrop, Manitoba.
I second The Mask. That movie is exploitation before exploitation was really even a thing. "I am cursed!"
They did a better job explaining the psychic link between a character and animal in this movie then in Jaws the revenge.
4:41 The Seattle Space Needle?? I thought that was the Blackpool Tower!!!
Whatever that is...it ain't the Space Needle!(offended Seattle guy!)
Fraggle Rock - like when you understand this line. Lol
The detective. Good one,, dude.
Oliver Reed should've play the aquateens landlord Carl
*neighbor
"Who did this to my f@cking car!"
Oliver Reed's psychic connection to the snake was probably explained in Tommy
The best old school snake movie is 'Ssssssss', where a mad scientist turns a man into a giant python.
Question Brandon. Would 'Them!' be considered a cult film? I would love to see you do a review on what is easily one of my all time favorite films.
Now that Brandon mentions it. If he grew a mustache, he would look a LOT like Oliver Reed. First dexter now oliver reed. Who's next?
in his doug mclure reviews, people mentioned Brandon's physical similarity to that actor
Brandon should totally go as Oliver Reed on Halloween. He just needs to put on a few pounds & grow a moustache.
"The movie didn't have an explanation for this either?" You mean like "Somehow Palpatine came back?"
Who knew Reed was in the House of Slytherin. Not sure even the Sorting Hat would have guessed that one right.
@9:02 made me lmfao...
I once was arrested at the VT/Canada border because my buddy left his nunchucks in my car. I was in jail (have no idea where) from Friday night until Monday afternoon. In court the judge was pretty pissed that I had been locked up, and while it was a really awful situation, it made for a really fucking funny story that I have told countless times.
I can just imagine the following:
COURT: "No, your honor. I'm not a super-ninja-spy on a secret mission for a shadowy Canadian organization"
IMPRESSING THE LADIES: I once went to jail, you know? I was THAT bad in my youth? ;) :P
We need to find the movie where someone is bitten by Robert Zdar and is now a wereZdar at midnight you grow a bulbous face and star in leo Fong movies
Starring “Data’s daughter” from STAR TREK: DISCARD
Monroville Omg someone else thinks this too! I thought me and my wife were the only ones!
I wish I could find the original source of the intro's song. I know it's O Canada, but that cover of the anthem........ IT ROCKS!!
Hey Brandon, love your content! Thanks for doing what you do and take care of yourself!
"Canuxploitation" is the single greatest term to have ever been coined by humanity.
Oliver Reed was in two killer snake movies?!
Honestly, the idea of a horror movie about a killer animal whos venom is so strong that it causes horrific (and sometimes explosive) physical trauma to those it bites is a cool idea. Its too bad the only attempt made on it was a low budget cheeseball like this film.
11:02 reminds me of that song: My friend Billy had a 10 ft willy and showed it to the girl next door. She thought it was a snake so she hit it with a rake, and now it's only 4 ft 4....
Mutt: "Grab the snake!"
"...dad."
I paid $5 for this.
Worth it.

9:13 Nice 28 Days Later reference. At least PETA is not involved for starting a localized apocalypse
...that you know of? :P
fun fact, there is a Southern Baptist variant who actually pick up and hold rattlesnakes as a test of faith (look up Snakehandlers)
I missed this so much ❤️
Ohh. Yes do My Science Project.
Duet also directed an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1988 and My Secret Identity in 1990, along with 27 episodes of Goosebumps.
This movie heard the question Harley Quinn asked The Joker, "Why doncha just shoot him?", and answered, "Good idea!" What's it say about the slasher subgenre that shooting the killer until it dies feels novel?
