Are you still reading this?? If so, type "WHAT A SCOOP!" in the comments! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
"The less said about 'Superman 4' the better." ---Christopher Reeve in his autobiography
Really. That is awesome.
He wrote this shit though.
Yeah... and then he went on to talk about Superman IV in detail a couple of chapters later.
@@jrag1000 he has a story credit, not a screenwriter credit. There's a difference.
Magical Music I thought he wrote this one.
Those two fans deserve co-MVP trophies for asking for this trailer. This is amazing.
Totally blew up the opportunity of saying, "Superman IV: Rest In Peace".
This comment deserves more likes
🤣🤣🤣 that's better than The Quest For Peace
Underrated
That's good.
Maybe he is not resting in peace but burning over and over again in hell we just don’t know
Not gonna lie, I loved this film when I was 7. Suffice it to say, my tastes were... unsophisticated.
+Buffoon1980 Me too at that age, But it's still better than the third one
+Buffoon1980 My Dad told me there were only two Superman films, later when I found out there were more I knew why.
+Dalam Gar Your dad sounds like a wise man.
Sython6
Indeed he is.
+Buffoon1980 You didn't love this film, you just loved Super Man. I was the same. In front of the screen, I liked Super Man, despite the fact that he was outmatched majority of the time in it. But in the back of my head, I always questioned all the abilities and the fact that Lois lane could breathe in space. And I was actually too young to wonder about that bs.
"He scratched him?! Superman lost from a scratch? That made no sense!"
Gets me everything XD
well to be fair it was a nuclear scratch
He gave him super toxoplasmosis.
Was his manicure made of kryptonite or something?
@@CDHfilms lmaooo
everytime. 8 years later edit is still your friend!
"You're Superman... Do something!" XD Best line.
Altech-Tron Well, it's the moon, so it's slightly more right. Won't argue that this entire film is lazy, an irony considering its title.
They forgot about this line tho: "If u dont tell me, I will hurt people" lolololol
Yeah
Wait Superman is powered by the sun. Wouldn't Nuclear Man only make him stronger?
+jobrial garolonike lol
Nuclear Man is powered by the sun but shoots radiation.
Superman is powered by radiation from the sun.
Hahahhahah... Shit
Writter didn't know jackshit about Superman mythos.
I wish Honest Trailers did more older films like this!
I did not know Superman has a "Batman & Robin."
You do now.
And they're both the 4th movie!
So that's why they didn't make a 4th dark knight!
It was better than that.
At least they fucking tried unlike the previous one.
And yes, I am the one person in the world who likes Superman IV. I also think Batman and Robin was better than Batman Forever because it admits that it's crap.
hunterkiller1440 Did you know that the Karate Kid also had a Batman & Robin? Also the fourth movie.
superman: "the only way for me to do this is to be superman IV - the quest for peace!"
peter griffin: ... "oh, so that's why they call it that."
i still dont get it
jason evelio
It's from Family Guy
Think of it like this
Superman for the quest for peace
Terrible english but it makes a lil bit of sense. Kidn of
How can THIS be the same Superman that took out General Zod?
Ben Moskalensky You mean the same SUperman who took him out by dropping him down a shaft to his death making the neck snap controversy in man of steel irrelevant?
***** good point, but the fight was cool :P. Nah I am just kidding, I concede my point.
***** Haha. Depends on the cut you saw. There's one that aired on TV where you see the police carting them off.
Mark Rathwell
Well that was the result of Superman spinning the globe again. Meaning it's BS.
***** No sir. Superman II had like the weirdest production ever. Richard Donner filmed about 80% of it, then went back to completing the first one, after which he was fired. Then Richard Lester was brought in and decided to reshoot a bunch of stuff so he could get director's credit for the movie (51%). Lester's got released to theatres, then an extended version of Lester's cut got released to TV. Years later, Donner came back and re-edited all his stuff back in, took demo footage and added new CGI shots which got released as the Richard Donner Cut.
The version you're referring to is the Donner Cut. The version i'm referring to is the Lester TV cut. In that one, Superman throws the villains into the pit, then later you see the Alaska Police carting them off. I have a copy on a hundred year old VHS tape. haha.
2:09 "what the heck was that." that cracked me up
Hahaha damn.
That was 2:10
What the heck was that dude did you see all Superman just flew to the side of the screen like that
And THIS why I can NEVER hate Man of Steel.
When people want to criticize Man of Steel, I bring this up. It usually shuts them up.
Facts
those with the courage to face the truth compare MOS to Superman: The Movie. That'd almost be like defending deep blue sea by bringing up Jaws: The Revenge. The entire premise of your argument admits defeat.
*****
I also compared MOS to the other movies and STILL like it more than the others.
Ya true man of steel was a really gritty and serious movie but it is still better than most of the superman movies sadly. Honestly when someone gets a superman game right that's going to be sick
What were they thinking when they made this. Were Warner Bros really happy to let people watch this?
They were watching porn
+Remy "Gambit" LeBeau Warner Bros. didn't produce the early Superman movies. The first three were made by Alexander Salkind, who purchased the movie license from WB. Superman IV was made by Cannon Films after they bought the license from Salkind, who were notorious for making cheaply made movies. Warner Bros. only acted as the distributor of those movies.
+Wyld staar but it still counts dude
$$$$$$ talks
suzane peepoc
Counts as what?
My car broke down in a small, very small, California town, and I had to wait there 48 hours for the part to get to my mechanic. I had dinner at a diner and saw the one movie theater in town was showing this movie. Yay. Bright spot. And good Lord was that horrifyingly depressing. Bad day at Black Rock.
I was born in 1980 so this was my favorite one. It's the one I grew up with. (Same with Ghostbusters 2) It's the one they played constantly on HBO while my parent's TV raised me.
Did your parents leave you alone with this horrible movie LOL?
@@evertonporter7887 I had it even worse. Being raised on HBO meant I was conditioned to believe Mac and Me was a good movie instead of E.T.
Dude had tears in my eyes of laughing so bad. I actually saw this movie in the theater when released. You guys are awesome.
You must be easily amused.
@@ysthafellgynghori8423 which is a good thing… I don’t know why you think that it’s this great flex that you’re not easily amused… Yet you’re still somehow on this channel…
Makes me want to watch it.
Make sure you have a few beers with you. Much funnier.
***** Why did mystery science theater ever stop, this would be good for them to make jokes at!
Miles Hedderman Does Rifftrax have this?
Idk honestly!
Miles Hedderman I absolutely agree. In fact I am watching right now. Of course I have a few beers with me, hahahahaha.
I liked the bit when Clark thought the best way to reveal he was superman to Louis was to push her off the top of a tall building to her death & then change into superman & catch her before she hit the pavement, what a guy!
luv that irony in the end about Marvel!
Yeah XD
Marvel never made bad movies (after Iron Man)
MARIA IGNEZ VERDIu thor:dark world? Age of ultron? First avenger?
@@user-dp8ij2ev3f Age of ultron wasnt that bad it just wasnt as good as everyone thought it was going to be.
@@user-dp8ij2ev3f what are you talking about the first avenger was great age of ultron was ok thor the dark world was bad
That's it! Do Spaceballs!
And say: "It's her royal highness's matched luggage!"
Superman IV, because if you watch it, you'll get so angry you'll sweat out most of the fluids in your body and will need an iv.
I take offense at saying "Ivy" instead of "Four"
This film is hilarious but Christopher Reeve is an absolute hero
Boy howdy let's hope you never see the Superman Vs Goku ERB
This is my favorite honest trailer. Love the constant tracking lines rolling through
I never knew this even existed... and I wish it had stayed that way.
Same
Speaking of Predator, could you guys please do an honest trailer for... well, Predator.
+Duch Scheefer Exactly. Perfect Honest Trailer fuel.
Woah, easy guys. I think we can agree that, while Predator and a lot of good Sci-Fi movies can never quite keep up with Star Wars, it's still a very fun action movie with some decent effects and a bunch of great Arnie one liners. And that, regardless of whether or not it is the greatest, Honest Trailers would still no doubt make a funny trailer for it that we all can have a laugh at.
Well, they could point out some of the side characters were only there just to die.
+Duch Scheefer Hold on a second! It's one thing to say Predator's without flaws, but picking on the Dark Knight?! That's going waaaay too far.
The fact they erased their comments makes it look like you're schizophrenic lol
"poorly executed sissy fight"
WTH was that! xD
c'mon, you're Superman, do something!
No gun or knife can hurt Superman.
"Wow. This is bad. This is REALLY bad...... What the heck was that?!..... What is this?! Space tag??.... Uhh, nails? Really??? Come on! You're Superman! DO SOMETHING!!!!..... That looks terrible....... He scratched him??!! Superman lost from a scratch?? That made no sense."
MAnuscript421 uuugh, are we really sure to release this???
Who Framed Rodger Rabbit? please do it
definetly
Who Framed Roger Rabbits needs to be done.
Totally Agree
and Cool World just for fun ^^
Watching Superman IV for the first time slightly drunk with a bunch of mates was one of the greatest movie experiences I've ever had in my life. It was literally the most fun I've ever had in front of a film.
This is the movie equivalent of the term paper you do the night before its due.
2:16 sissy fight had me laughing in tears...
Please do honest trailers for LOST, green lantern, man of steel, back to the future, elf, planet of the apes, rise of the planet of the apes, karate kid (original and remake), men in black, the godfather and expendables. Gasp, i need to sit down. If you do these I'll be your best friend
Can you please do 1960's Batman?
Still better than this movie.
The 1966 Batman movie was actually pretty good.
@@Fazzel I agree
Maximum Overdrive.
You know you want to.
DITTO!
I remember watching this on VHS with some friends. We all suffered in silence as Superman cut the top off a mountain and dropped it in a volcano. Then he lands in the village below and speaks perfect Italian to the locals and we all screamed "AWWWW BULLLLLSHIIIIIT".
This makes me hope they'll do the 1990 Captain America, that really deserves the honest trailer treatment. Captain America's most impressive power in that movie is pretending to be car-sick to escape a captor...twice.
Yep… We’ve all seen that joke be made in every single review of that movie ever created… Plus your comment… We definitely need to see it again
@@evilsWa Well I hope you can appreciate that when I wrote that comment *9 years ago* the sentiment was more original.
and people say that Superman Return and Man of Steel were bad :))))
I haven't seen Man of Steel, but I can sit through Superman 4 and I honestly can't get through Superman Returns. It's so freaking dull.
Actually I thought Superman 4, with all its flaws, was better than Superman 3. That obnoxious black dude who was trying to be funny but ended off being freakin' irritating.
3rdalbum The only good thing in the movie was CHRISTOPHER REEVE R.I.P
3rdalbum watch see no evil hear no evil, its got Richard Prior in and is fucking hilarious
MoS: I've seen it, don't hate it don't like it
SR: I fall asleep
S4QfP: Only can get though about 10 min before wishing it was over
***** Every director needs a challenge. Now if he fail or succeed that's different question
my science teacher pronounces "nucleus" "nuculus," and it pisses me off SO much.
We were learning about cells for like, 6 months straight...
gimme a Masters of the Universe honest trailer! ... because, you know... reasons.
Do what he said.
jea do it
Yeah and it has to mention that Frank Langella was by far the best in the film....
seriously why is there not more people calling for Masters of the Universe. it must be done!!!!!!
Exactly
Batman & Robin meets Superman IV..oh god
I think we can all admit that Man of Steel was a better movie than this, even if you hate Man of Steel.
2:25 Superman lost from a scratch? 😆😆😆
The least requested and yet the best honest trailer ever 🤣😂
I loved this movie when I was little (I know better now), but I remember being really confused about the whole rebuilding stuff with his eyes.
Say: "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
Love it
Stevy Ouellette
That would be great right?
Dear anyone who thought Man of Steel is the worst Superman movie,
Are you sure about that?
Sincerely,
A comic book movie nerd.
+The Opinionated Nut it is not a bad movie at all. It may not be perfect but it is good.
Yes, I thought is was the WORST!
This is my favorite Honest Trailers video, ever.
"And STARE, in wide-eyed disbelief at some of his new made-up powers..."
I'm staring, all right, and like you said, I'm in a state of disbelief. Ugh... They just CAN'T get the Man of steel right!!
You must not be reading. Some versions of comics' Superman as well as the 50's serial show starring George Reeves did some really outlandish stuff.
Super eating
What I never understood is with all the villains that Superman has why they felt the need to re-use Lex Luthor so many times? On top of that they plans they had Luthor carrying out were the stupidest things that could possibly be dreamt up. I mean even when they had another villain (Zod and company) they still had to shoehorn Lex in there with some crap about him tracking Superman back to the Fortress THEN trying to team up with Zod and his group. The only other time he didn't appear what did they do they made up another Lex-like bad guy to replace him. What a total lack of imagination and effort.
Lex is awesome, but I agree, it'd be far cooler if he only showed up rarely as the mastermind.
DarthRushy I'm down with him in the first movie (although I wish they had come up with a better plot than trying to sink the California coast to make worthless dessert land valuable but he really has no place in the second movie with Zod and his partners there to be more than enough bad guy for the second movie.
I also totally support his NOT being in the third movie but I don't support them replacing him with a made up character who is basically just like him and I don't even remember what his plan was. I kind of recall it having something to do with coffee futures or some other non-sense.
I also don't think he should've been in the fourth movie either. Again, I don't recall his plot but I think it had something to do with arms dealing so any old international arms dealer would've worked.
So, yeah he should've just been in the first one with a better plan. The second one should've been all Zod and company.
The third one should've been Brainiac (as was planned at one point) since it had to do with computers and technology. The fourth one should've just never existed in the first place.
***** What in the second movie? Best as I recall all he was there for was to help Superman trick Zod and the others into using that chamber on him to take away his powers (which at some point he switched around, don't recall when he had time to do that).
Still, there are bound to be other ways to do that or hell figure out a better way for him to deal with them because that plan was a little hokey in the first place.
In fact that whole chamber thing was kind of silly all on it's own. It's supposed to take his powers away forever, except when he suddenly discovers he needs them really badly then suddenly it can be reversed by the power of plot convenience. :)
I don't even know how it's supposed to work when he gets his powers from how his body processes energy from our sun. Seems unlikely a machine could change that.
I just realized lex was superman's joker
Samuel Kan Yeah, been that way for awhile but then again even in the 89's/90's Batman movies they used other characters. Yeah their version of Two-Face was way more Joker-like than he should've been but at least he wasn't actually the Joker.
Of course, as I recall, Jack Nicholson had it in his contract that the Joker would die at the end of the movie as he didn't want to do another movie and he didn't want someone else coming in and taking over the part from him after so even if they wanted to they couldn't use him again, in that series, anyway.
Watching your commentary of this one made me appreciate your work so so much more.
Happy new year to all of you and good wishes for your good work ☺
I loved the "at least its not marvel, these guys will never figure out how to make movies" and the "Captain America" line. Awesome video.
Interesting trend that the 4th Superman and Batman movies killed their franchises.
Hummm, go figure it...We willl get the 4th new Batman soon :(...
rio 2 is so universally hated that its franchise can't even get off the ground. p.s. they should do that along with the first rio
Oskar Toledo
It'll actually be the first in a new series, so it isn't technically a fourth Batman film.
Speaking of Predator… Do PREDATOR!!!
Samuel Martin wait when the new Predator movie coming out in October
They finally did
thank you two fans
I keep re watching this this, I think dare I say it this may be my favorite Honest Trailer. The script is hilarious, Jon is in the zone in a serious way and from start to end I'm in stitches! God we need more 80's reviews!
I wouldn't mind a Spaceballs or Predator Honest Movie Trailer
this has to be the best honest review yet. I'm literally crying here
So at this camp that I work at in the summer the guys in my group wanted to watch this movie and I said "only if we can have commentary the entire time" which they were planning anyway. So we get to when Nuclear Man appears and one of the kids yelled "And his side kick, Fallout Boy!" I died.
I remember watching this as a kid with my siblings and coming up with the most irrational explanations of why Jeremy and Lacy didn't need space suits to breath in space. With better directing Nuclear Man would've been a much better villain, more menacing than the joke he was. He had a good theme by John Williams.
I never saw this movie.....phew! way to dodge a super bullet :)
LOL Lucky you.
It's eye and brain torture, I can tell you that.
This has got to be my favorite honest trainer - I never laughed so hard 😂😂
"good call two fans" hahahaha that sold me
I lost it at 'Dolph Lundgren-ish' :')
I was just about to type that
I laughed the whole time!!!! This was GREAT! Thank you "Two Fans"!!!!
Anyone else notice how the trailer opens with a vcr adjusting it's tracking? That was awesome
I was just the right age when this was out because I loved it as a kid. Watching it now I am glad that I can view it with nostalgia... because that's about all it has.
Jesus Christ. I had no idea this movie existed. I think the planet would be better off if it did not.
At 1:20 that kid made me laugh so hard lol XD
It's been a while since you've done one of these VHS style reviews. Hope to see another one eventually.
“Mentally unstable actress” - hasn’t aged well Honest trailers
@asian dude she killed herself a few years ago.
@asian dude you are going to have to Google that one. I'm assuming that's what the poster was referring to.
IDK sounds like they called it.
Now excuse me while I go keep an even closer eye on my own mentally unstable gf.
Jemie Bridges good man
@@lamarkiuscox9016 @.@ WTF? :(
Wait this film exists?!
yes i was i was referencing back to that one family guy episode
eh
Yep
This film has no right to exist!
02:55 Heh, if you did a Spaceballs trailer, it would be like a Honest Trailer of an Honest Trailer.
Galaxy Quest, make it happen narrator man
3:36 Only becomes more hilariously ironic with each passing year.
Lol, yeah. Oh Marvel, when will you get it right?!
I loved this movie as a kid I use to have my mother get it from the library all the time it actually use to be my favorite one out of the franchise.
It got an extremely bad rap upon release, it was buried in the home release cycle of the nineties-but it is a film which succeeds at some things it tries to do....underrated.
"Superman I Vee", i laughed so hard.
Frank Shadows How old are you again? Because that's the sort of joke that my five year old nephew finds absolutely hilarious
CPCoulterTweedles
Your nephew clearly has a better sense of humor than you.
CPCoulterTweedles WHO THE HELL IS FRANK SHADOWS
bobdude0987654321 Another CZcams user?
You would need an IV to enjoy this movie. I would suggest Morphine.
It should be called: 'Superman IV: Rest in Peace'
when he says 'what the heck was that' ROFL!
This movie makes Man if Steel look way better.
Also, MAKE A HULK HONEST TRAILER
I would definitely like to see an Honest trailer of any Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
How about one without him. Terminator Salvation.
I really didn't mind man of steel, I'm sorry.
+Lucas Hollands I'm with you. I think it's just the popular thing to dislike it. Now, I saw it before I actually started watching movies critically, but I quite enjoyed it.
+Lucas Hollands I love man of steel, I don't understand the hate it gets. Sure Henry Cavil seemed kinda stale and him and Lois had no chemistry at all, but I still enjoyed it.
Yes, you are.
Don't be sorry for liking it. I don't apologize for thinking it was a piece of shit along with BvS.
A lot of things people say are bad are actually quite good, but fans reject them for stupid reasons.
Did a nice background of the vhs graphic of showing the vault.
For as much as I love it, you should do an honest trailer on The Incredible Hulk series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno!
started crying so funny
I remember absolutely loving this when I watched it in the cinema. Oh how times have changed. And yeah, totes shows how old I am 😂
the first line had me cracking up: "good call, two fans!" lol
Do An Honest Trailer for Honest Trailers!
They did.
Kind of, they did one for screen junkies, honest trailers was glossed over on that one.
I remember liking this as a kid, but now I realize how really crappy it is. This is how people will feel when the Twilight kids grow up.
Oh my god. You immediately got me at "From the production company behind Breaking two electric bugalu". ahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
The VHS tracking error is a nice touch!
For me this is the most hilarious trailer so far. I kept on laughing out loud when even things I find funny get a chuckle from me at most.
You should make an honest trailer for Superman Returns.
WHAT A SCOOP! Where's the t-shirt link?
Great as always.
Slashing Budget from $55 Million to $17 Lmao.
i think thats still being generous XD
One good thing Superman IV did was to destroy Cannon Films and expose Golan and Globus for the con artists they were.
You should crack open "the vault" more often! Do Star Trek The Motion Picture!
I saw this movie, then forgot it ever existed. I caught a rerun on tv last year, and only remembered the scene with Superman’s hair, then realized I’ve seen it before, how bad it is, and why I wiped it from my memory. This is Highlander 2 level of awfulness (which I unfortunately remembered I saw).
right off the bat, hilarious!!
"good call, two fans."
