"There's no way to get hurt in here, just enjoy yourself." Fun Fact: The robot that Yul Brynner portrays is an homage/spoof of his character Chris from The Magnificent Seven (1960) and wears the same costume. Practical Make-Up Effect Fact: When the Gunslinger robot is splashed in the face with acid, Yul Brynner's face was coated with an oil-based make-up mixed with ground Alka-Seltzer. A splash of water then produced the fizzing effect. Computer Graphics Fact: The first use of computer digitized images as part of a feature film (not merely monitor graphics) was the Gunslinger's (Yul Brynner) point of view in Westworld. After the process was finally developed enough to produce satisfactory results, it took a mere eight hours to produce each ten seconds of footage for the Gunslinger's pixelated POV.
Detaching Yul Brynner's face plate actually came across as a shock way back when. Yul Brynner filled in for Lee Van Cleef in Adiós, Sabata (1970) and played the lead in Villa Rides (1968) alongside Charles Bronson and Robert Mitchum. He played a German merchant ship captain during WWII in Morituri (1965) alongside Marlon Brando and Janet Margolin. Michael Crichton's other big contribution to seventies film came in Robert Wise's 1971 adaptation of his novel The Andromeda Strain. The Westworld HBO reboot was pretty good for a couple of seasons. Same initial premise with serious special effects updates along with greater literary pretensions -- Shakespeare, Orwell, Huxley, Nietzsche -- to complement the top notch acting. Ed Harris, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, along with Anthony Hopkins. But when it comes to Western television shows made in recent decades check out Deadwood and Hell On Wheels first.
I think the red footprints are supposed to be infra-red heat signatures; the ground is very slightly warmer where it's been stepped on, and the robot is sensitive enough to discern it. They look a little unrealistic today now that everyone's seen what real infrared video looks like in other stuff. I do love the symbolism of the robot being confused by the infra-red image of the torch flames - as he breaks out of his programming and begins to learn and develop as a sentient organism, it's like his "species" equivalent to the moment early human beings first saw fire.
The Car 1977 again starring James Brolin, Josh Brolin’s father. The Car is a low budget hidden gem horror flick. Sheriff Wade Parents (James Brolin) is called in to investigate, and his deputy, Everett (John Marley), is killed by a black sedan, which, some witnesses say, has no one behind its wheel. When the car threatens a local school parade, the lives of the town's children and Wade's teacher girlfriend, Lauren (Kathleen Lloyd), are endangered.
There was a sequel, Futureworld. Its clumbsy, campy, silly, and I *love* it! Its got a decent plot , kooky-fun effects, and Clark is one of my favorite robuts ever! I wouldn't call it a "good" movie, but it sure is fun!
@@IrishGuyReacts Only S1, which I enjoyed. It's got a major plot thingy (I shant spoil) tying it to the original movie, which is pretty great! While it ended on a cliffhanger, of course, I found the end of S1 a satisfying ending. The narrative was completed imo. I watched one ep of S2 and checked out, as I didn't like it for reasons. But maybe the rest of the show _is_ good; I just don't know.
I love this film. Watched it for the first time decades ago as a young kid on late night TV. The Yul Brynner character must have been what the Terminator was based on. So scary and very, very effective. I was extremely excited when I heard that they were basing a TV series on this film. The series is well worth checking out. As I said it's overall premise is based on the book/film, but it does follow it's own path as well. Check it out. Loved your reaction.
They should do a reimagining of this (not the TV series) where it's all set in Medieva World and all the robots are played by actors from _Game of Thrones._
I much preferred the 1973 movie version of "Westworld" to the HBO series. The movie accomplishes the idea of robots achieving malevolent sentience in that one single shot of Yul Brenner smiling than it took the series an entire season to develop.
I recently saw this film for the first time. It's a good film, but I felt the other theme parks detracted from the story as the story kept switching between these different settings. I've seen Yul Brynner in The Ten Commandments and the Magnificent Seven and he can play both good and bad guy roles real well.
I liked the idea of characters from the West going into the Rome World. However, I think they should have given a little more time to the characters in the other worlds too.
The writer & director may have felt, that a wild west only story was too thin, & that the other Worlds, gave the story more contrast, notice how WEST WORLD itself, took up most of the screen time, the wild west is AMERICA,S land mark history, settled under a gun
That look, recently people have been calling it the uncanny valley when you look at AI-created art where the people it creates have this strange look to them, not quite human.
I would probably pick Medieval or Roman World. Fun reaction! Totally like a horror movie; I certainly got creeped out by it when I was a kid! Always liked this movie. Haven't seen the series, but I hear it's good. If you're interested in it, you should do it because I'm sure it will garner you some views/subscribers.

Yeah, he looks identical to his character in The Magnificent Seven. Great slices of trivia 👍
You're welcome, as always.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Fun fact Yul’s performance in this movie was Arnold’s inspiration for how he played the Terminator!
I can definitely see similarities between the two performances. Great compliment to Yul.

Deadwood is high on my list. Have heard great things about it.
@@IrishGuyReactsDeadwood & Westworld are both superb 🤠🤖
Sweeeeeet!
One of my favorite sci-fi westerns!
James Brolin is Josh's father.
The Madame is Star Trek's Majel Barrett.
Holy shit! I did not recognise her at all. Watched her for years on Star Trek: The Next Generation
James Brolin is Josh Brolins father.

7:32, on the right, Majel Barett-Roddenberry, (Nurse Chappel/Lwaxana Troi/ for many decades Starfleet computer voice).
Massive TNG fan. Good spot.

Hey. Thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like a fun watch. Sounds like a spiritual sequel to "Duel"

I never really thought of this as a western, so that's interesting.
I guess I was reaching a little to include it in the Western reaction series but it certainly has elements of a Western.
@@IrishGuyReacts I mean, I'm not saying it's not; it's just causing me to mull it over. It has the elements; you're right.
There was no explanation as to why the robots had live ammo
Yeah, shouldn't it have locked like when the main guy tried it on his friend?
To shoot other robots ?
@@mocrg Then they would have to repair the robots.

Yeah, James Cameron can't not have been inspired in some way by this film for The Terminator.
Glad you enjoyed the reaction 👍

Haha that would be wild! Given how unpredictable the show was, no guest would be safe in that world.
@@IrishGuyReacts Yeah, it would be bad but so amusing.

It will be difficult for them to find someone as terrifying as Yul for their villain. He was so effective.
I enjoyed the first season, then it became painfully slow. There were a few neat Easter Eggs & callbacks to this movie.

This movie is actually about the first computer virus .

Glad you enjoyed it. At the moment I'm watching "Gunsmoke" on my Patreon Page, but it is one I may come back to in the future.
React to Westward the Women 1951.
Another on the watchlist.
Have you seen 'Vera Cruz' (1954)? I watched it for cinco de mayo
I have not but will add to the watchlist. Always looking to expand the Westerns to watch.
@@IrishGuyReacts i think you'd like it
the show is phenomenal, easily my fav one. def recommend checking it out 🤠🤖
Have heard good and bad things but I'd like to check it out.
Technically Sci-Fi!!!! Not gonna be precious about it but, can’t believe you can find the time for this 1 but not watch the producers 🤦🏻♂️🤪
Haha , Okay I'm definitely adding it to the summer schedule. Which year is is it from again?
@@IrishGuyReacts 1967 😉
