I unironically LOVE this movie..... its at the era of special effects before CGi fully took over, the model work, the animatronics, the makeup are so good!
The captain has great voice. Smooth and sultry. Suits her chill attitude.
That femme fatale voice
Like The buttery morning sunrise
I loved seeing Captain Boomies again! It's awesome when she drops some nautical knowledge.
Damn I have to say she is gorgeous!
The cyborg busting through the wall calling Steeeeve and then the guy completely losing it is too funny, this film is alright.
Best movie featuring Jamie Lee Curtis?
We need more excuses to bring back the cpt. She's a pretty cool co-host.
Would be fun to see her and Tony review Star Trek or Stargate.
Watched this when it was on direct TV as a kid. Helped fuel my love for Sci fi and horror. It's fine and fun. Nostalgic as hell for me
So ready for Casey and CaptainBoomies!! Also I think her worst movie is Christmas with the Kranks! Terrible film!
This was not a bad movie. Not great, but not bad.
It's fine and fun
High effort schlock will always be my go to comfort movies
Is absolutely holds up better than Freaky Friday 2003
Overjoyed you finally did this movie, I even asked in the letter I sent you along with the comics and video game I sent you to do this movie. Honestly the movies, game and comics really did their own thing
Wait! You're the one! I'm sorry it took so long! Also it's a total coincidence we uploaded this on the 25th anniversary. I hope you enjoyed it!
@@HackTheMovies fantastic Talking About Tapes as usual, glad you finally got around to it Tony
@@chriswallace7759 wrong show title!
@@HackTheMovies sorry about that Tony, Im replying at work right now so too many things going on ATM. We all know Talking About Tapes is far superior to that other show, my apologies sir went ahead and corrected my grammar
Ive been thru every hurricane that has hit south florida since hurricane andrew, i can confirm the eye is definitely calm, so much so that back in the day people would mistake it for the storm passing and they would come out and get plummeted a few minutes later when the eye ends and the other side of the storm starts
Wouldn't that only be "calm" on land though, if you are in the eye in the middle of the ocean im not sure all the water that is surrounded by a hurricane would just stop moving right lol
@@coreytraynlol not sure, sounds like there would be a big Maelstrom in the middle of storms in the ocean lol
Absolutely! Been there with you! Very eerie for a little while then BAM!!!!
The scene in which they talk with the alien trough the computer (which according to Wikipedia is called The Intelligence) kind of reminds me a scene from Sphere from 1998 when the protagonist also talk with the "alien" in a similar way.
Jerry is happy
I forgot about that movie
I remember watching this movie with my father when I was a kid. It's not terrible. Just a goofy 90s Sci-Fi movie and I liked Baldwin's performance. Donald Sutherland was cool in this too, he genuinely looked the part of a salty sea captain lmao
Captain Boomies - Demonstrating that technically correct is the best kind of correct!
I remember kinda loving it back in the day, gotta rewatch it now to see if it holds up.
Do deep rising please. And bring back captain boomy
Yes, she is 🔥🔥🔥
Yo Tony - When you gonna bring back The Blue Meanie for a 'Ready To Rumble' review?? When I was a kid I played my VHS copy til it was broken.
Where does Tony find all these pretty women at seriously plus they all have personalities and are funny? I can’t even find one here in Chicago that doesn’t resemble Shrek
Are you commenting on the right video? Mint Salad isn't in this one....
Tony is a famous Hollywood actor, he can get any pretty woman on his show.
The best idea on this epside was a halloween maze of obscure horror movies from Universal. That would be awesome.
I saw this in theaters with my Dad when I was a kid. He passed a long time ago so its always a reminder of him. Bad movie or not. Lol.
I always assumed Richie was ex-military. The situation caused him to experience a form of PTSD and he kinda flipped into survival mode.
Remember when these were the kind of movies that Tony reviewed on this channel? I have nostalgia for that period of HtM.
Thank you for agreeing with my selections!
Follow the money, Tony@@HackTheMovies
This is one of my favorite movies. Of hers and in general
Great job Tony, and guests, this felt like sitting through a lecture in class👍
The scariest thing about the movie Virus with the fact that it had a action figure toy line. I bought the Jimmy Lee Curtis figure only because I needed a Laurie Lloyd to go with my Michael Myers.
You mean Laurie Strode? 😂
Damm captain boomies is just the best
Watching it in HD, not on VHS, the "final boss sentinel" looking creature actually has a human skull when they zoom in on his face.
Turn that Flashing sign off
We shot both this and the bonus episode before I realized I had it set to flashing. My bad....
Did you get a better camera or mic or something Tony? Looks and sounds great!
She did freaky friday this movie is fine
It is William Baldwin not Daniel Baldwin in this right?
So AVP ripped off some aspects of this movie....... and years later Prometheus ended ripping off AVP.
Virus is the blue print
@@HackTheMovies This is the virus, AVP is the symptom
The Ship Captain's voice is ASMR tier. I would find it hard to argue with her.
That's crazy! I just got issue 1 and 3 of the comics from a thrift store a while back because i thought the cover was sick. Had no clue it had this adaptation! Im bummed i couldn't find issue 2!
I still have all 4 from the 90s.
Like the comic, hate the movie.
About finding old Dark Horse comics, yeah, that's a problem. Personaly I still need 1 from "Starship Troopers", which fucking sucks.
I like this movie
What's better this movie or sphere? Very similar plots both came out in the same year. Also thanks for the Norfolk shout-out. That's my home town
Sphere is a very different movie buddy. I think you might be mixing Sphere with Deep Rising.
Sphere.
29:30 I'm going to laugh so hard whenever Tony's friends or future girlfriend/wife abandons him in a dangerous situation.
Calling this movie and not Christmas with the Kranks the worst Jamie Lee Curtis movie ia a travesty.
"Everything's dark and blinky."
That about sums it up. :)
Halloween resurrection is probably one of the worst films ever this was awesome
This movie is great!
Tony should dress up as that hero that walked away from the robbers for Halloween
Fun fact halon is still very much used on US Navy ships especially small boys like cruisers and destroyers. We have to know how to light off the system in the engine rooms if a mass fire casualty breaks out in there.
Watching a VHS rip is a real shame. This movie really does have some great practical effects that you can admire if you're watching a higher quality version.
This film is miles better than 5 Halloween films she has appeared in - I'll let you guess which ones.
The Species Trilogy would be awesome for Halloween. Maybe even rank them????
PS You should also do The Darkman Trilogy at some point
Captain boomies is lovely. Super cool chick. That Tony guy is cool too. Thanks for the video .
Virus is a fun movie and have an interesting idea
Used to love this movie. Not seen it since maybe 2003, couldn't watch again for fear of ruining my positive memories
Met Jamie Lee Curtis at a Halloween: H20 event in 1998 and, after that, I was on a massive JLC kick. And then this movie was announced and I was stoked for it…never ended up seeing it and still haven’t. I’m kinda proud of that fact. 😅
This movie was fucking dope !
As usually Tony is hilarious and Casey is so adorable.
I love this blonde woman, her positivity is a wonderful
I couldn't say this film tugged my boat.
This is AMAZING!!!! 🎊✨🎈🎆🎇
Captain boomies is a beautiful woman…. She’s the type that you bring to meet the family
I am in fact a married older man who enjoys this show
Well the newt and Ripley motif is because it's the same producer as aliens Gale Ann Hurd. Plus i had some if the virus toys lol
You were much too hard on this movie Tony. It’s a good time. Stop trying to get in Jamie Lee Curtis good graces Tony
it is a fun syfi movie that is a different take on a zombie type movie. I would like to see another movie if it got out in the world.
you could say it got lost in the sea of abandoned ships at sea movies
I love Casey! She also hates Aubrey plaza.
What happened to the LOTR Return of the King review. Did it ever come out?
Lord of the rings went woke so I canceled it!
Jk. There's a community post explaining what happened. It's on the way just got delayed.
I enjoyed Casey in this review she was great
I assumed that the pit of corpses at the end were what they the robots didn't want nor need for making more cyborgs.
I love this movie, its flaws are obvious but its so much fun to me.
Captain's voice is so sooooothing
Does captain boomies have any thoughts on theodore the tugboat?
16:19 innit that a picture of sutherland? the son irl, dark city 1998 and stuff
I’ve never heard of this one. Jamie Lee Ernest was pretty good in Knives Out and Halloween. Knowwhatimean?
Was Chappy a remake of Johnny 5 from Short Circuit?! 😮 you should review the Short Circuit movies 🎥 🍿 to investigate 33:10
I totally forgot this movie existed
I saw this movie when I was a kid and I thought it was cool, I went to school the next day talking about the movie
Yay Captain Boomies. (Love you Casey but I can't remember the last time I saw Captain Boomies!)
Tony is thiristy *AF* 🤤
We need to get Linkara to review the comics
You pronounced Maori wrong. Speaking of New Zealand have you seen the movie Housebound from a few years back?
Y’all should watch Godzilla the series next
I always thought this would make a pretty good video game but then I played Cold Fear and it’s basically the same thing just with zombies instead of machine/human hybrids
I enjoyed that movie quite a bit. Jamey Lee Curtis's lines were kind of garbage though. Honestly she would have been completely interchangeable with another actress in that role.
The Russian woman is played by B-movie veteran Joana Pacula. She’s been in a lot of less than stellar films
Virus > Freaky Friday.
Captain boomies has an amazing voice to listen to
has anyone mentioned tony is saying the wrong Baldwin??
I haven't watched in a while I enjoyed this movie when I was young Casey's always pretty solid the other guests I was unaware of and I was listening to the audio only to my shop she might be my favorite guest and then when I saw what she looks like I was like holy moly no way super hot and knowledgeable
Never heard of it, tbh
Australia has the PAL format. Maybe that helps?
the ship has stupidest google translate signs on it in the time when there was no google
so they paid someone to do reasearch and they did it bad
Only movie I ever left a theater during
Has Captainboomies ever done ASMR?
I've been in the eye of a hurricane. It does get awesomely still (at least the one I was in did). Supernaturally quiet. But you know it's not gonna last because the OTHER SIDE OF HTE HURRICANE IS COMING and there's no freaking way to avoid it. It's like nature's little joke. "You got through that first part, here. It's over. JUST KIDDING!!!"
This movie was awesome...Steve! Oh my the ladies....
I love Captain Boomies but I'm not sure if she knows how the internet works considering that face she made when they were discussing the HALON system from speed 2
Yay watching stuff off of antiquated format
Check out MOONTRAP from1989. Similar concept.
Yup, and better.
Not quite the same, but "Screamers" is there as well.
Deep rising would be a good follow up review.
- Deep Rising
- Phantoms
- Moontrap
- Siren 1 / The Rift / Endless Descent
@@eldritchmorgasm4018 ben affleck was the bomb in phantoms yo
innit it faster to get the mkv file than to rip a vhs?
I like the comic, but I realy don't like the movie.
Only the big robot-thing in the finale is nice.
To be fair, I do believe it's kinda underrated, just for the threat, though "Moontrap" does this better.
About the ending of "Event Horizon", it's not a cheap jumpscare, they survived in a part of the ship, that is still kinda possesed, the closing door hints at them probably being the next victims.
At least that's how I undersand it.
I’m falling in love with Captain Boomies 😮
Yes!!! Captain Boomies! Ahoy hoy!
