It's not that the Reverend wanted to take the bat home with him. It's just that, every time he threw it away, his Werewolf side fetched it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one.
Yeah, that´s pretty obvious
Jack Wells I salute you sir not only is that funny it makes sense
damn, you beat me to it XD
@@AllHailDiskordia you jealous you didn’t think of it?
I like the idea that the werewolf is a reverend who at first kills sinners, but overtime the bloodlust gets to him, and things get out of control. I also like the theme song of this movie it sounds like something you’d hear in a don bluth movie
Fun fact: This is the movie that broke my sisters arm. We watched this when we were kids, and that night my grandpa asked my sister to go out and get the mail from the mailbox. On her way out I told her, "Dont get caught by the werewolf" which made her run in the dark and take a nasty fall that broke her arm. Good stuff.
Pretty sure you and her clumsiness broke her arm
@@Dookieman1975 Harsh. Can tell your fun at parties.
@@ZillaTheTegu could say the same about you. Twas a jest.
Why was the mail not taken when it was day
@@Krosis_The_Dragon_Priest Because it wasnt a big deal. Your telling me youve never gone outside at night before?
"Wasn't there another alcoholic in this movie?" Brandon, it's a Stephen King story. There are gonna be at least 5.
It's usually safer to assume everyone in a King story is an alcoholic unless specifically stated otherwise.
I mean hell, King was an alcoholic while writing it
Yep that’s usually the standard
And violent bullies
And a spooky church/priest element.
I was just watching that new one on Netflix with Ryan Murphy… and my wife called it before she even knew it was SK.
The getting the bullet is the best scene. Busey tells the guy that it's for his nephew who is a big Lone Ranger fan. the guy makes the bullet and gives it to him, explaining that he made the slug a low grain weight to prevent it from tumbling. It suggests this guy has either done this before, or suspected the killings were a werewolf the whole time.
Or he's just really into ammo. If you've gone to the trouble of learning to make your own, you probably are.
@@michaelccozens he immediately went to werewolf when Uncle Red asked, rhetorically, "what the hell are you going to use a silver bullet on, anyway..."
I definitely got the sense he'd done it before, or at least that maybe he's seen some things in his time.
I, who also has the book this is based off of, thought that the people in the town knew what was going on.
Getting the bullet and when the father of Marty's friend discovers the torn apart body of his child.
Without tons of gore, the feeling of total desperation and horror practically jumped off the screen!
Amazing acting!
@Eric Vachula My thoughts exactly. They chose to stay ignorant and to preserve their small horizons of reality, rather than acknowledging the supernatural monster and fight it.
“Bit by a horse during a full moon”. I pissed myself laughing
Does that make him a were-mule now? ;)
@@sigmacademy No, he turned into a werehyena.
A series where Gary Busey hunts werewolves? I think that's one of the most brilliant ideas ever!
Minty calls him Gary BOOZEY, for obvious reasons. :D
Yeah, or a movie where Gary Busey takes on Godzilla...and King Kong!
Yeah but people also thoughts movies about the frog brothers hunting vampires was going to be awesome and well look At what we got
Were wild turkeys
let's pitch it to him.does he have twitter?
"Silver Bullet" (1985) is one of the five best werewolf horror movies of all time! This is classic already!
It is for sure!...and you can lampoon it to death, but the movie is simply too enjoyable to seriously belittle it!
5?
Hmm..
Silver Bullet
The Howling 1 & 2
American Werewolf in London
Dog Soldiers
?
@@blazeswithwolvez7221 The Howling 2 is complete garbage, lol. Ginger Snaps(2000) is a vastly superior movie and deserves a spot on the list. Also films like Bad Moon(1996), Wolf(1994), Skinwalkers(2006) and Howl(2015) are better werewolf movies than Howling 2.
What are the other 4? I bet An american werewolf in London is among the top 3
@@blazeswithwolvez7221 Replace The Howling 2 with Ginger Snaps and I agree
everything with Gary Busey in it is better. The world is better for having Gary Busey in it
It sounds like you want a little bit of Gary Busey in you!
hmmmm...... you prolly like only Big Gary Buseys ;}
@@diamonddog257 I prefer Nicholas Cage...but Gary Busey is a fairly good actor too.
...???....
...y'know ..... I was just in Guatemala ..... -and was 'discovered' by SONY movie
people ; because I can impersonate Eastwood, Brando , JFK, Yul Brynner .. etc..
..................... WHAT THE FUCK IS A 'NICOLAS CAGE' ??
anyway, we made 3 shorts ... waiting for editing ....
Yeah, weirder, yet better...fucking love this movie.
I like how the werewolf is almost a kind of serial killer allegory at certain points with how it can be absolutely anyone
I like to think that it is directly about a serial killer, they just happened to be a werewolf as well.
Scholars think that historical werewolf and vampire attacks were really the work of early serial killers, before that concept existed.
" he better be careful or he's going to get in an accident that'll paralyze the rest of him" im in tears
I was thinking something similar for the "send the disabled kid up the tree" thing. I mean, why not? Is he going to fall and get double-paralyzed? Maybe it's Flintstone head-bonk rules and another accidental blow to the spine will get him walking again.
Always was impressed with how Corey Haim, Gary Busey and the actress playing the mother all look like they could actually be related.
Even the sister
I have a soft spot for this film as a disabled Teenager my mom showed me this film after I had a meltdown after seeing disabled characters die for the umpteenth time in an Oscar bait film
Your mom is awesome!!!
Your mom sounds like a cool lady.
I agree. The way Hollywood represents handicapped people as either helpless martyrs or soulless villains is downright offensive, and Silver Bullet is a nice change from that!
Tom Heaven Shazam’s a recent addition to that list of movies to make disabled kids not feel like liabilities. A damn good movie, too.
That really a trope? I mean there's the guy from Friday the 13th 2 but that's all that comes to mind
funny anecdote: one night my grandmother was babysitting me and I was still a wee one in my crib, and my bed faced the open door that led right to the living room and had a view of the TV. Granny was watching this flick, obviously figuring I was asleep, but when she got to the part of the woman being mauled I apparently stood up in my crib and said "Bad doggie!"
Not only do I have no memory of this, but that scene freaks me out today and I can't look. Go figure.
That's adorable 🤣
That's both hilarious and adorable.
I refer you to a Patton Oswald joke about how his kid is more scared of a segment from school house rock rather than ironically a werewolf transformation scene from a horror movie
My grandfather looked just like Reverend Lowe and the best part was that he was a deacon! So when this movie came out, everyone told my mom he was a werewolf.
😂 that's hilarious
I always wondered how they were going to explain the naked, eyeless, dead minister in the ramshackeled house to the parents when they got home.
I love the "meddling little shit" line!
My fav line; I got Scooby Doo vibes
Rev Lowe: I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids and their damn uncle
"You can't smoke wild turkey like crack, bit they'll be wrong."
That line made laugh SO hard and so loud my family got worried.
"Wooden stake to the beer belly" LMFAO
i'm so glad they let gary busey ad-lib his lines, i feel like nobody would be able to write this kind of insanity for him
"Looks more like a were-wombat" lol
Were-wombat? To me, he looks more like a were-hyena. My guess is that instead of howling at the full moon, he laughs at the full moon.
Fun fact: Turns out, were-hyenas ARE a thing in African mythology
"Marty's friend" was played by Joe Wright who I knew when he was about 6 years old! We were in a play together at Civic Theater in Indianapolis. He was crazy talented. He literally dropped dead at 39 years old. Really tragic.
That's really sad, so sorry to hear about Joe dying at such a young age. RIP.
Let's be honest, if someone was gonna fight a werewolf in hand to hand combat I can think of no one more fitting than Gary Busey.
He took on 80’s Mel Gibson so a werewolf was a walk in the park
He just needs to bite a werewolf and it'll became a were-Busey.
If the werewolf bites him, it will die of alcohol poisoning.
@@emperorskulls That would be messed up--a werewolf with Busey teeth lmfao
@@emperorskulls🤔
Everett McGill is such a fantastic villain. And he has one of the greatest lines and deliveries in all of cinema in this movie.
I knew I'd seen him in "LICENSE TO KILL"! Best exchange:
"There's two million dollars in there. You can have half of it."
"You earned it. You KEEP it."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!!!"
He's excellent in Heartbreak Ridge also.
Back in the days when werewolves weren't shirtless pretty boys who turn into CGI talking wolves.
They were MAN! *MANWOLVES!*
I thought that was only Twilight.
And vampires didn't sparkle.
He shoude but brandon expanses time for films by the same directors like the two month gape from terrorvison and from beyond
wstine79 I’ll give the affects this they do t show the werewolf that much and while it looks like a guy in a suit the transfermation affects were pretty good
Fun fact: Killing her so she wouldn't commit suicide was actually the justification the Reverend gave himself for killing the girl in her bedroom. He was saving her from eternal damnation from taking her own life.
That part with the bloody kite is still chilling. I loved that they left it up to your imagination. I saw this in the theater.
Yo that’s what stuck out the most to me since I saw it that what I recognize the movie from
@@shootermcgavin214 - There's a interview with the guy who played the kids dad. He made that scene work with his great acting, because they actually had a fake body to use. But it was so shitty, nobody wanted to show it on film.
"Your worst nightmare, butt-horn".
That is an interesting insult.
I LOVE that "DECAPITATION" thing, man. Makes me laugh EVERY time, dude!!!
I lost it at "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
Same!
Silver BUllet was one of my favs as a kid. What no mention of Terry O'Quinn as a star? Man is a legend!
I know, he even looks like irritated Jerry Blake at points during the film. "We just need a little order around here" indeed.
The werewolf playing the piano gets me every time 🤣
Same. That and the werewolf fog bat scene. "Aw hell NO you did NOT just hit me with that... my turn!" 😂
"I can't make you another wheelchair out of that." Lol that was funny af.
Imagine Silver Bullet 2, where boy's uncle is a werewolve and he can control himself only because of alcoholism xD
Poor Corey Haim, he ended up living and dying even more dysfunctionally than Gary Busey today lol
I just hate how things ended with him and Corey Feldman. They were such good friends.
Always sad when talented people lose their shit, on drugs, etc.
He and Feldman both got molested when they started out in Hollywood. Feldman came forward about it a few years ago. Explains a lot
Corey Haim has the most depressing Wikipedia page I’ve ever read. It states when he died he was living in a one bedroom with his terminally ill mother and was often seen walking around the apartment complex trying to make friends.
@@sebastianemond5313 if it makes you feel even a little bit better, according to Haim's wiki page at least, not long before he passed, him and Feldman did apparently make up off camera
Though, not as technically sound as "The Howling," I actually prefer "Silver Bullet." I've loved this one since I was a kid.
If you want to see Busey hunt werewolves. You probably just need to go by his house every full moon.
"BUTTHORN!" Oh god I love Busey..
Gary Busey giving the kid a wheelchair that looks like a motorcycle is kind of darkly funny in hindsight.
yea, really ;) add not giving him a helmet it gets even more dark funny
Yeah, usually the wheelchair comes *after* the donorcycle.
Considering Terry O'Quinn shows up a few times I'm surprised there wasn't a Lost or Rocketeer joke.
Or a Stepfather joke.
"Silver Bullet"(1985) is an excellent horror movie, and one of the 5 best Werewolf horror movies of all time for sure!
I fully admit, I love this movie. I saw it as a kid and have liked it ever since. Of course I am also a big fan of Busey and Haim, so yeah, I’m just an 80’s fan obviously. But still, this movie is just tons of fun. I thought his motorcycle-wheelchair was so badass haha.
This was actually the first horror movie I’d ever seen!
Silver Bullet was one of those many gems from the ‘80’s with some great casting.
Back then, I was in love with Megan Follows. And Corey Haim was just emerging a major ‘80’s child/teen star. And of course, there was Gary Busey...crazy yet still coherent and a pretty good actor. The only thing that would have made the casting perfect would have been Dee Wallace as the mother. Luckily we got her in Cujo and E.T.
Poor Busey...he absolutely nailed playing Buddy Holley!...even playing good guitar...maybe when you are so on fire at the beginning of your career, it becomes too much to live up to later on...at least he had a decent career into the 80s...moreso than Steve Railsback, who also had a tremendous performance, as Manson, at the beginning of his career, then faded away.
Love your thumbnails, the werewolf is so fluffy XD
The werewolf looks like he needs a hug.
I love that the werewolf is fending off Gary Busey with a cross.
"Hee-Haa, Hee-Haa, Hee-always calls me that!!!"
I tend to tell that joke to some friends at work lol. It always culminates into an effective response 😎.
Lol great dad joke
"Piss on the Yankees, piss on the Indians!"
“I wish I could have seen the looks on your faces”.
*SUBBED*
Silver Bullet is awesome; I remember seeing it in the theater with a couple friends and like seven others in the audience
This is one of my favorites.
Two words.
MONSTER SQUAD.
Who are you?
We're the MONSTER SQUAD.
Wolf man has Nards? 😱
Kick em in the nard's.
I always had a soft spot in my heart for this. It’s just creative enough on just enough of a budget with just enough hammy characters to work
This is one of my favorite short stories of King's work. Probably number 2 behind The Reaper's Image. This is also my second favorite Gary Busey movie. The first being The Buddy Holly Story. Also Everett McGIll is a treasure! I loves me some Big Ed!
I love silver bullet. One of my favorites. & pet semetary
And a American werewolf in London 1981 and the howling 1981 and pet sematary 1989 and pet sematary 2 1992
Dude your video reviews are GOLDEN. You've earned a subscriber.
I'm not gonna lie. That last dead monster jump scare in Silver Bullet haunted me for months as a child back in the 80's.
god dammit this was funny
old man cartman at 9:30
hahahahaha
Screw you guys, i'm going home
Oh COME ON I love this movie!
Ah such good memories. A simpler time when a monster could just be a monster and not some sparkling or shirtless misunderstood emo.
Silver bullet is my favorite werewolf flick!
Curtis Donihoo go watch dog soldiers if you havent already, then say that again lol
Same here!
Really? Favorite? The Howling, American Werewolf in London?
My personal top 10 werewolf flicks:
Werewolf Of London
The Wolfman
I Was A Teenage Werewolf
The Howling
An American Werewolf In London
Silver Bullet
Teen Wolf
Wolf
Ginger Snaps
Dog Soldiers
This movie is way better than Dog Soldiers
Very underrated movie and still is. One of the best werewolf movies ever made in my opinion.
17:16 Gary: "Guess who's back. Too late to go home now"
JammyGuns that is the best joke I've seen In the comments
This is between me and HIM! *immediately gets cut in half*
Oh my god! A movie series with Gary Busey hunting werewolves?!? How do we make this happen?!?
The scene where Jane goes to collect the cans to find the werewolf terrified me the first time I saw the movie. I'd say it a very well directed scene. I like Silver Bullet.
Ive never heard of that 😳 id like to see that deleted scene
Maybe you should just watch the movie.
i will say this the shot with the wide eyed werewolf peaking from the bushes on the floor of the green house during the scene with the fat drunk is pretty friggin terrifying
Brandon, you need to review some more Stephen King movies like Pet Cemetery, Maximum Overdrive, and Cujo.
*Semetary
Fun fact about Cujo, Stephen King was so deep in his drug addiction at that point, that he doesn’t even remember writing the novel!
YES PLEASE
Salem's Lot, Needful Things, etc. :)
Marinus van Zyl Most definitely Salem's Lot 😍
Always feels weird watching movies with tragic actors like Corey Haim
Yeah, I still feel weird watching movies with Richard Farnsworth or J. T. Walsh, although at least they lived complete lives. But I feel like I miss them and want to protect them.
"Marty was the cross I had to bear."
He's in a soon to be montorized wheelchair. Settle down.
This movie still is one of my absolute favorite movies. It's so well done
This movie actually looks pretty good.
“I think Corey Haim just created twitter”... classic!
YES! "Silver Bullet!" Awesomeness! The first movie I ever sat down to watch with dad on late night television where he was nice enough to point out, "This isn't the same movie I remember. They cut things out of it!"
This is one of my all time favorite movie. Thanks.
Thanks for reviewing this Brandon. It’s one of my all time favorites.
Do a Gary Busey month.
With a Gary Busey drinking game
Beautiful review.
The phase of the moon on October 31, 1976 was waxing gibbous.
The graphic novel is wonderful. It suggests that the reverend became a werewolf when simply picking flowers.
You crack me up, Dude. I love your sense of humor, there isn't a movie that you review where I haven't literally laughed out loud. Don't stop; keep them coming!
Gary Busey is the physical embodiment of 'chaotic neutral'
I was honestly surprised the reverend was the lycanthrope when I saw this movie.
16:45 you know... I would watch a tv show or movie called REVEREND WEREWOLF.
This was a guilty pleasure as a kid.
Wait theres a Stephen King movie called The Dead Zone. (looks at DBZ movie) I think Stephen King's gonna sue somebody
Ahhhhhh, Brandon's reviewing one of my favorite Steven King stories, while also wearing my favorite Henley shirt he has! I love that shirt. It manages to be purple *AND* blue at the same time! 🤘💜💙🤘
Edit: Also, oh DAMN! Corey's big sister is Anne of Green Gables?!?! I didn't realize that when I was a kid! 🤯
Love the busey impression
I think this is your best review! And it's '80's Gary Bussey playing himself...
Man, I remember seeing this as a kid with my mom and grandma... they loved this.
Actually, Cycle of the Werewolf first started out as a calendar before being made into a novel.
Hewy Toonmore
Thought that was the original Tampax commercial.
the sheriff helped them all find their way off the island
I'm surprised that Brandon didn't make any Lost jokes.
Lael Destan I was expecting one the whole time, too.
Or a "Stepfather" reference.
The atmosphere, music and narration of the film cued viewers into the fact that the real theme was the fragility of life, a point not lost on audience members in remembrance of Corey's tragic life.
that wooden stake to the beerbelly was epic lmao!!!
The part that always made me laugh as a kid was the Werewolf Piano Player just going nuts on the keys.
You should check out Dog Soldiers. XD
Earliest to a Brandon video and I miss decapitation sound bite
Why didn't they show the aftermath?
" I have called the Sherriff 100 times and he hasn't picked up."
" Where is he? "
The reference to the people under the stairs makes me want a series of wes craven reviews.
R.I.P. Cory Haim.
8:59 isn't that the guy from Lost?!
How did he get off the Island? Or this just a deep dream state where he's dying but he doesn't know.
Doubtful, this movie is from the eighties.
Swift Nimblefoot
But what if it looks like the Eighties inside of his mind or he jump through time into the Eighties and became a sheriff of a small town only to Die Painfully.
It’s him
doom7ish he’s also in The Stepfather films.. as a serial killing stepdad.
Terry O'Quinn.
This is my favorite review of yours so far. Great job. Love the Buseyisms reference.
I gotta love Gary Busey. Noone can do crazy like he can. He does it an entertaining and comedic way.
Oh, I just remembered - he did a "Law & Order" episode where he basically played a fictionalized Robert Blake (former star accused of killing wife) and he was really good, no lie.
I expected the Reverend to say "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen."
I had dreams about that werewolf on the organ
I had dreams about Megan Follows (Jane) on my organ.
You know they say you cant smoke Wild Turkey like it's crack, but they be wrong! I can actually picture him trying to do this 🤣
I love all of the references to other Steven King books! Sometimes dead is betta.
