THE WORST X-MEN MOVIE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN

- The first ever X-Men movie is mostly forgotten ... and there's good reason for that.
The movie is historic but it's also historically bad.
Being one of the worst adaptations of the X-Men ever put to screen.
It's so bad , it's uncanny.

The reason the character roster feels weird is that it is not about the X-Men but Generation X. Generation X were essentially the late 90s replacement for New Mutants - a team of rookies learning under the guidance of Banshee and Emma Frost. In the comics they were not stationed in Xavier's School but in the Massachusetts Academy - formerly the Hellions' base of operation.

Wait until you find out there's a Nick Fury television movie that came out in 1998 starring David Hasselhoff.
Yeah, another awful movie.
Yoooo I was gonna tell him that too 😆 it wasn’t great but I actually enjoy that movie as well as this one. They’ve got that old Pre MCU charm. We didn’t grow up having much Marvel live action stuff, so when we did get it, we loved it! Lol

Nick Fury of the Prime 616 (original) Marvel Universe was created by both Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Sam Jackson's Nick Fury is from the Ultimate Universe, 1610 and was created by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch.
Millar said that he was inspired to make Nick Fury into a black guy because he was inspired at the time by Colin Powell. But when he did, he based Fury on Sam Jackson's likeness because at the time Jackson was in a lot of movies and Millar thought he was really cool. At the same time though, he never got Sam Jackson's permission to use his likeness for Nick Fury. But Sam eventually told them that they could use his likeness if a Marvel movie was ever made featuring Fury and he would play him.
I was an X-MEN obsessed teenager when this came out. It was all we had so we ate it up. We cleared our plates and asked for seconds.
Right! They are so spoiled today. Remember the Hulk movie with Thor? Awful!! Loved it!!! I wonder what they would make of those old Captain America movies!
Same here, left no crumbs.
@@user-lu8ze8xn4yyou know what’s funny about that, the dude that played Thor is the same guy who played the gay guy with the ass less chaps who brings the strippers in American Pie - American Wedding 😂😂😂
Totally! Compare it to The Flash and Lois & Clark and it wasn't so bad.
I second that emotion. I had loads of Generation X comics too and was amped when I saw them on screen.
Until 2010, this film was shown regularly on TV here in Brazil.

I want this movie, along with those bad Captain Americas, Dr. Stranges, and Fantastic Four movies from yesteryear. Tho they may be bad, they exist.
If this movie isn’t available anywhere to download or stream, it will be YOUR responsibility to make the best quality transfer as possible and upload!
I think they wanted the villain to be like a psychic Shadow King type villain, but at the last minute they changed their minds and made him discount Jim Carrey Riddler.
Mind you, the actor (Matt Frewer) has a large resume.

She's one of my celeberity crushes.
She was and is so fine....
Such a beautiful, awesome actress. I am interested in seeing this just to see her as an X-Men member 😂
She also played the Mother of the Charmed Ones.
It's funny that this movie paid more respect to Jubilee than literally any of the theatrical films ever have.

With the notable exception that she wasn’t remotely Chinese in this.
@@TimmyDisorderI'm glad she wasn't. I never perceived her or Psylocke as Asians. 😌

The Punisher DOES have arch-enemies-Jigsaw, The Kingpin, Bullseye.
@@anti1training Jigsaw is Punisher's # 1 villain. He's been in SEVERAL Punisher comics during the last several decades (and has been in important story arcs) and was in one of the three Punisher movies (Punisher: Warzone) and played a huge part in the Punisher Netflix series (both seasons).

Generation X in the comics were great in first couple years then fell off a cliff. It seems everything they planned for the characters initially was changed. Backstories, nationalities, etc.
I remember being genuinely excited about this movie. I had it written down in my assignment notebook so I wouldn't forget.
Back in the day this was all we'd get in the way of live action superheroes, so we had to be thankful for what we got.

The thing that stands out to me about the film more than anything is that Mondo is played by Bumper Robinson. Yes, Bumper "The Voice of Falcon, Deadshot, Cyborg, Bumblebee, Rook, War Machine, Black Lightning,..." Robinson. So at least his Comic Adaptation pedigree wasn't tarnished by this, though I think the only time he's specifically returned to the X-Men franchise was voice Bolivar Trask in the Origins: Wolverine Game.
I KNEW it! He sounded EXACTLY the same as Falcon from TSHSS
@@henrygarcia39 That was a different guy, Alimi Ballard, Bumper voiced him in Avengers assemble onward.
@@AussieDragoon Well shit
Vee at that time what Emma Frost was wearing in this show , was far more conservative then anything she wore in the comics , in or out of her costume 🖖🏾
When Jubilee is your most well known X-Men in the show you're in big trouble.
Matt was Trash Can Man in the first TV adaptation of The Stand
And he played it to perfection.

No joke, I used to watch this movie every month when I was a kid, it used to play on TV in the afternoon at least once a month, I loved this movie, it was the pinacle of superhero movie when I was a kid, now I realize how bad it was, but it still has a special place in my heart.
Hey, we all did a lot of things when we were young that we now regret. Heck, I was a big fan of "Knight Rider 2000"!!
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I watched it as a teenager when it aired and it wasn’t perfect but I was still grateful we had an X Men movie, sort of lol I was a fan of the Generation X comics
Max Headroom as the Villian of X MEN
The vi-vi-vi-villian....lol
Holy moly! I didn't know that anyone else even remembered this existed! That's awesome! This was actually my first interaction with the characters of Emma Frost and Banshee. You could go so far as to say that it inspires me to really go deeper into the comics. I still have it from where i recorded it on VHS from when it aired on Television.
I can't tell you how awesome this was for kids born in 1984. We all raced home, had our blank VHS' and VCR's ready, and were glued to the TV. The time slot relied on dull adults to move it forward though. The marketing was phenomenal.. on arcades, posters, the comic shop, commercials.... and then they stick in a late night evening slot 1 time.
It's actually not that bad for a comic book movies from the 90's.
It was a British production marketed towards a young American audience. In fact it had to be edited to be shown here in the states. I think a remastering and a little polishing up wouldn't be such a bad idea. there is a fandom for this movie that would buy it up in a heartbeat.
Yep! I did the same thing! Lol
I remember seeing it when it came out, I think it was on Fox, or wb? It was like plucking characters from The New Mutants, X-Force, X-factor, X-men, and made up some characters for the show, I was heavy into comics at the time, so seeing the commercials for this had me hype! It’s not great by any measure, but this was way before the x-men and spider-man movies, so I know its hard for people to understand how things were before the internet but when this came out, the internet was in its infancy, and what we had were books, TV, and magazines, so seeing finally some superheroes getting their own movie was exciting for us comic readers.
This kinda reminded me of The Gifted, you know, that OTHER X-Men show that came out around the time of Legion

Wait, is one of that villain the same actor who plays the time traveller from TNG, the one who claims to be from the future but is just a conman from the past who found the machine?
Yup. He was also in honey i shrunk the kids and the voice of the new pink panther cartoon
Matt Frewer, I also fondly always remember him as the conman in TNG 😅
Who played as Barclay in Star Trek the Next Generation, is played by Dwight Schultz, who also starred in eureka tv series as the character Emperor Zal in that show. I don't know why but he looks older in this than he did in Star Trek the Next Generation, but this bad X men movie came out before star trek Next Gen. but, maybe; I am wrong in its timeline of airing in any case, I think; I might have seen this on tv and had forgotten all about it, that's how bad it must have been when it aired on tv.
Ah yes, the 90s camera tilt, the twin brother of the 90s fish-eye camera lens.
Not only are you mistaken that I’ve never seen it. I watched it when it came on TV for the first time.
You went to X-men school too?
Bumper Robinson, who plays Mondo (the one who was Polynesian) was in Family Matters and recently playing additional voices in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and played Deadshot in the SSKTJL game. He has been busy.
I can understand them eliminating Chamber and Husk due to the budget, but still don't understand getting rid of Synch. Sure, his power in the comics has a psychedelic aspect to the way it looks, but that wouldn't be hard to pull off, and anyways, they don't need to put in the visual aspect. At a basic level, his power is to copy the power of other mutants around him, which should be quite easy due to the fact that he'd only be using effects they already had in their budget. Especially if they only had him mimic Mondo, Buff, or Emma, since none of them in the movie really had powers that required VFX.
Penance being gone is the most understandable, though. Would have been a nightmare under their budget to try to figure out. Sadly, no Artie or Leech, either--those two are the best duo Marvel has ever come up with, and nobody can change my mind on that (and Franklin Richards was a good addition to the dynamic as well).

Shame they cheaped out on Husk because with the right practical effects, her molting powers would be AMAZING in the MCU
Some say that Jim Carrey stole his shtick from Matt Frewer
The villain Matt Frewer was in a lot of good movies in the 90s.. honey I shrunk the kids and national lampoons senior trip are 2 of my favorites with him in it
I remember this movie because I had the comics. Back then, I thought it wasn’t bad at all. I was in my early twenties…Guess I should rewatch it (or not!).🤔💭
Rather confusing how someone like Skin made it in but not Husk. Even taking the budget into account.
Skin doesn't stretch like Mr. Fantastic (as seen in the dubious 90s CGI). He's basically got several extra feet worth of skin he can manipulate (or at least, at the time this movie was created/aired). In fact, for a while he was drawn looking more like a shriveled old man than a teen. *What does this have to do with Husk?*
At a glance, her powers sound _really_ special effects intensive; she's basically a shapeshifter with a gimmick of ripping off her outer layer of tissue (husking herself) in order to do it. Except it is pretty easy to shoot around, due to that aspect. You don't need a careful, expensive CGI transition from Husk's current form to whatever she's shifting into. Sound effects and implying some/all of it happened off screen would do... and probably look better than Angelo did in the film.
How did husk remove layers of skin while wearing clothes?i did enjoy the teasing banter between banshee and emma.costumes,writers dont have heroes wear armour under their street clothes anymore but i wonder if they ever tried wearing two sets of clothes.very bulky,very uncomfortable .
That print ad really activates my nostalgia. I remember nothing about the actual movie itself.
Jim Carrey stole his whole act from, "That man."
😂
I watched that when it aired originally and guess what that’s the best we thought we would get
I remember watching this on Fox 2 in Detroit
I just remember it being just kinda of weird .
To be honest I didn't hate it
Don't forget the first live action Danger Room!
Im old enough to have watched this when it aired on Fox back in the mid 90s. My whole fam sat down and watched it with because i was so geeked out, they wanted to know what all the hype was about. I honestly believe it only aired once and was never brought up again.
😅
I watched it on release.
Thought it was fine.
Again, you have to judge on the curve of the 90's and TV. This is a more entertaining movie that "Steel" for instance.
It was on Fox, it’s a product of its time. So it has that tv goosebumps filter coupled with its virtua fighter 2 arcade love, like that x files episodes around then with jack black in it and opens with playing virtua fighter 2 in an arcade. Kids nowadays don’t get how big fox was back then.
I saw this on TV as kid. For the longest time I thought this was just a literal fever dream.
Me too. But I was a teenager. Lol it was so lame. I don’t know how or why I watched it from beginning to end?
Thank you for posting this! I watched this on Fox 2 the night it premiered. I wasn't even in the double digits yet so I loved it. Haha
They were all the same mansion??? That bizarrely feels so mindblowing to me! 😂
Matt Frewer was also in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Lawnmower Man 2, and The Stand!
Oh, 11-year-old me recorded this when it played on Fox, and I showed all my friends. I loved it at the time. Movies always changed comics when adapting them, so I didn't take offense.
I had this on VHS as a kid and actually liked it 😬 I think all the weird adult references went over my head. I was very aware they couldn't afford Husk and Chamber though 😁
The adult references in this were not pernicious. Just good ol' fashioned heterosexual birds and bees stuff. Now, its quite insidious as they are trying to indoctrinate all of the children and make them homosexual, trans, and all this other gender marxist ideology. There is a huge difference between the two.
Heather McComb is lovely and underrated. She was a guest star on Party of Five.
is it the only Xmen film that utilizes Jubalee and not just have her cameo? is it really THAT BAD, apart from the fart scene?
I was 18 almost 19 years old when this aired on FOX back in 1996 and the only thing this pilot accomplished, for me as a fan, was to piss me off!
I remember them talking about Emma being flat and how good the "special effects" made her look ... ample. 😅
Max Headroom! I believe that he was the Mask in the animated series as well.
Nope that is RobPaulson original red turtle then later purple turtle. Yakko. And alot of other characters. The animated mask included

Forgotten? Nope- I still have a copy on VHS from when it aired. Also- putting Matt Frewer in a movie automatically disqualifies a movie for any kind of "worst" categorization. Frewer was HILARIOUS in this movie, shame on you! :P
For years I was unable to convince anybody this was real. They all thought I was nuts or making it up.
That villain had a Jim Carrey complex!
This was bad, but back in the 90s we were starved for anything X-Men based.
Its biggest shortcomings is its budget, choice of characters, and a lot of the story.
I'm from Ireland and saw an ad for this movie in a comic book and this was before streaming services etc, so there was literally no way to see it. I was obsessed with the idea of what an x men movie would have been like. Obviously didn't have to wait *too* long, but y'know...
Matt Frewer can actually act. His brief turn in the Dawn Of The Dead remake is proof of that. Too bad he only got to mug for the cameras in this turd.
This piece of sh*t is real?! I thought i hallucinated this movie? Actually i thought it was a show and ppl kept acting like i was crazy, waiting for the second episode.
They DID end up working this into something completely new. It was called Mutant X, and was actually quite good, and got three seasons. It was still produced by Marvel, but had no connection to the X-Men or the Marvel universe, because 20th century Fox had exclusive filming rights to X-Men at that time.

@Vee Infuso Please do a video on X-Men Evolution, aka the Teen Titans precursor.
I didn’t know Jubilee was Asian at the time, seeing she just looked like a white girl with black hair in the cartoon to me. (When she actually looked Chinese in the last season I was confused)
The X-Men game in the background reminded me of the Double Dragon game in the movie.
A little known fact is chinese we're considered white until the passed off some racist. Basically the same racist paper that smeared black people also smeared Asians. BUT get this... it was never the original authors intent. It was just a theory put up for peer review by a German doctor. The work would be stolen are reframed by a white supremist euginisist. The paper has been disproven a thousand times by now but still the incorrect version is taught in schools. There's no such things as five races. Also... this paper was picked up by... Hitler during a trip to America post WWI. So half of that war coulda been avoided. Furthermore the entire eugenics thing was shut down by top white supremist who felt that was too negative even for them. History is weird!
I knew what film you were going to talk about before I clicked the thumbnail. :)
I thought it was a TV show, because I DO remember a lot of commercials promoting it
I never forgot. Still have ads for it in old comic books.
Actually, watching Matt Frewer in this video, I can't help but think that he would've made a great Joker.
Pretty sure I saw parts of this a very long time ago when it first came out on broadcast tv. Barely remember anything about it, but my guess is that they aired a slightly more sanitized version without all the swears and stuff, versus the VHS release.
@6:30 Altough i haved previously seen it as a child air on a foreign channel, i would instantly 'recognize' him, and really appreciate him in another role as Taggard from the tvshow Eureka
The characters are mostly based on an X-Men comics spinoff series in the 90's. The first year or two of issues was a good read and adds a lot of context to what this movie is trying to emulate.
The cast really tried, but this movie is definitely limited by its budget and the sfx technology available at the time.
As for the cursing, adult content, etc. There was a big push in the 90's to market comic books to adults like the Watchmen, Dark Knight, and a few others managed to do in the late 80's. The problem is that most of the time, it wasn't done with mature storytelling or complex social commentary. Usually, the artists just drew very sexually explicit panels, and the writers cussed a lot. That's how we got the Snyderverse 👎👎👎
Those cameos are priceless tho 🔥🔥🔥
Soo Glad To See Another
HUGE Comic📚 Aficionado!
You forgot that he was also the neighbor dad in Honey I Shrunk The Kids lol and his line "80 bucks Mae...non refundable...those kids are grounded!" 😂😂
Matt Frewer also played the Trashcan Man in the 1994 TV movie The Stand.
LOL. Thanks for the video. As a big time X-Men, I remember watching this when it first came out. It was bad, but still good to see it. Born in 1970, I did not get into X-Men until the early 80's. Been a comic fan since 1975, mostly funny animal comics for me back then.
They sure did love that angled framing and overhead background spotlight back in the 90s 😅
I saw this in the 90s when I was a kid. I was very disappointed. All I really remember is some guy with stretchy skin, wolverine(?) who never uses his claws, and maybe a doorway to space or something like that? Some of this could have been a fever dream.

Much Like "Pryde Of The
X-Men" Was A Pilot For
The Saban Produced FOX
Animated Series (92-96).
I remember images of this thing at the end of some Marvel comics and the Wizard but I've never seen it.
I remember this!!! The skin dude is what stuck with me since I was a kid, I always remembered the line, "gimme some skin!" And the stretching him out. Watching this is like a dream sensation, it's weird to describe.
Just saw Double Toasted do a Roast on this. Oh goodness!
great video man!
One can enroll at the Xmen school. It is played by Royal Roads University in Colwood, BC.
I remember when this came out on TV. I think I read in article before it came out about Buff and Refrax being used because of lack of budget. Personally, I wouldn't have minded seeing the comics and getting flesh out more. I learned something with this video since I never about the connection between Banshee's voice from the animated series and the actor in this film. I will say I haven't seen this in years and there are somethings in this movie I was happy I forgot.
God, I barely remembered this movie! I remember the villain being a dream themed scientist (missed opportunity to introduce The Shadow King) and a bunch of unknown mutants to me, at the time. Also, Jubilee was there.
