My wife and I watched Tusk and I loved it! She is still in therapy.
Did you turn her into a walrus?
@@blitzmustang1588 No, that's what the therapy is for.
Blitz Mustang lol
Chris;is lol
Im 12 and traumatized
I convinced my friends to all go see it, but only told them a "guy turns another guy into a walrus" and they thought I meant via magic. I haven't been allowed to pick the movie since and I regret absolutely nothing.
As a fellow Emily all I can say is I'm proud of you and I'm sending you hugs 😅❤️
As morsas nunca choram "ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Based
I love how Justin Long apparently was just vaguely wandering around set at all times, ready to photobomb at a moment's notice.
Yah I cracked up at his first appearance behind Kevin and jay.
Watching the making of the film helped me get over how disturbed the film had made me.
Same
That's what I'm here to do (just watched it for the first time)
Cool that Kevin's daughter and Johnny Depp's daughter were friends..He was awesome !!..and glad Fleetwood Mac's song "Tusk" was in there, too..👍
Dudes, I'm 72 and I have never been a horror fan, but had this movie on and started to doze off, my eyes popped open when I saw it for the first time. I could not stop watching it. I could not go back to sleep. I have to say, that is the best most original and creative horror movie I've ever seen. You guys did a good job, and I don't even do horror films as a rule. Great cast and I am an old timer, so I loved Michael Parks! It's still got it. I myself am a first time filmmaker at 72, so I love it. Keep doing what you do!
So cool sir!
What movie did you make???
I finally watched the movie two days ago (july 2024 for future readers)....
I wish I saw this movie when it came out. It's so fucking ridiculous and I love it. I can't believe it's a real movie
Good to see you up and at it, Kevin. Stay healthy, man. Take care.
Hey look, its matt from supermega
Thank you! This film for me is a big tragedy: killed human soul, terrible toutre... his frends lost him. Poor Wallis! Thank you so much!
Lol Austin what are you talking about? He never stopped being up and at it, did you just stop watching until now?
Whoa! Austin! It's you!
@@bfffggffdfd well, to be fair he DID threaten (& very nearly did go through with) his retirement a few years back (post red state was it?)
CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED MOVIE. but seeing it in the theater with like two other people and watching them get up and leave during the first hour was hilarious
Walked out after an hour? How do you walk out of Tusk? I mean I walked out of the live action Super Mario Brothers at age 13.
@@sirvilhelmofyonderland Funny enough also filmed in North Carolina.
One of the most inventive horror films I've ever seen. Super scary the first time and hilarious once you're in on the joke. Never seen a movie like that before.
Human centipede?
Yeah, even though it's hilarious it still stuck with me because of it's strange creepy factor
Ian Drakeford what the joke to it
Super scary?? 😂😂
Daniel Mazz the joke is that some crazy guy is turning people into walruses.
Yet. It’s still creepy and disturbing.
Holy shit. An hour an a half long doc about the makingof Tusk...For free...on the CZcamss... *Hold my beer* O_O
Mark Sneddon hold my joint
@@Jackson.1911 I smoked that joint and drank that beer.
@@CrocodilePile 😂👍
Uh...yeah, I don't think that's how the hold my beer meme works. Still I 100% approve of this message.
No just finish it. It’s like half a warm beer u babysitting fool
This not being called From Tusk Till Dawn kinda made me sad.
oooooh, that's good.
“Look I don’t believe in Walrus’s but I just saw a fuckin Walrus!!!” Lol
Dont you mean from dawn till tusk?
there is a movie called from DUSK till Dawn. THATS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEIRD.
@@cdowg187are you sure it wasn't an otter dressed as a walrus as a goof 😜
Justin really is an amazing actor. From jeepers creepers to many more. Unreal!
I just hate that Wallace got no justice. The ending hurts my soul in a way idk how to express
I watched 10 minutes of this, stopped, proceeded to watch the entirety of Tusk on Netflix to avoid spoilers from this documentary, enjoyed it, then came back to watch the rest of this documentary.
This guy gets it.
Yep, me too. Kevin bashes Tusk so much, I never bothered to watch it. To me, this film says you can take absolutely any idea and make a meaningful movie out of it. Tusk, is like that really disturbing painting in the art gallery that you stare at for half an hour and then days later you are still disturbed by it. Not everyone would think of that as a compliment, but I thought the film had real merit.
David Brewer it’s not a meaningful movie, it’s parody, very badly done.
BaronVonBielski, it’s definitely a parody, it was made for 3.5 million dollars so to say it was cheaply done is an understatement. All the actors worked for free. I believe the film crew and the production people worked for free as well. Nobody is arguing this is a four star film. One star is probably generous. That said, myself and a growing number of people saw a bit of genius hidden in a couple scenes and are able to appreciate it.
i liked it alot but the last third isn't as good as the buildup imo
Literally couldn't fall asleep the first time I watched this movie now I'm obsessed and need tusk 2
I’m so happy the world of film still has people like Kevin Smith. He always aims for the stars, even if his films never quite make it.
Are you on fucking crack? He barely aims for the ground most of the time....
Out of all the scary movies I’ve ever watched, tusk has stayed in my mind. That ending will forever stay in my head.
Me too. Knowing they lived in a world where some zoo and his buddies were okay leaving him feral and would just stop by to visit and feed him like it was normal, regardless of how sad they may have felt. That was just about the scariest part of the whole film to me. Well, that and the creepy nautical body mods Wallace had done to him.
Grotesque is a scarier movie
Can’t wait for “Bride of Tusk”
We need this so bad 😂
@@Special_Tactics_Force_Unit what a great idea !!!!!
Woah, now _that's_ an idea.
Or House of Tusk!
is it gonna be wallace's girlfriend to turn into female walrus?
The wholesome production of this movie alleviates the mental scarring that was inflicted upon me when I watched it.
my mind can accept a psychopath that turns men into walrus but spending 250 000 on that fleetwood mac song only to be used for a short time.... this guy is a madman
Tusk was the first movie of yours I’ve watched. I can still remember my dad coming to my room to ask if I was okay due to Justin Long screaming like crazy after the walruzation began haha
LMAO at Tusk being someone's first Kevin Smith movie.
Damn, Jason made two movies in one year? And one of them is for free? You guys are spoiling us
They were both free if you know how to internet.
... and I was AMAZED at how shockingly good "The Method" was.
@@stevealford230 I know, right? I liked it more than the last 3 Kevin Smith movies
I truly expected pure shit. Or "so bad it's good." Instead I got "better than virtually all cinematic release comedies of this decade." Kevin hasn't been as good as that since Red State. The directing was good, without trying to be "an artiste," which is where most top directors fuck up: nobody wants their auteur bullshit that distracts us and takes us out of the movie, killing immersion through their attempts to be cool, elevated savants. Jay just did the work clean and smart, letting the camera be a bystander (us) watching the story, without stupid Dutch angles and other "tricks" that dumbass disconnected-from-reality millionaires who are out of touch with the movie-going public arrogantly believe will impress us instead of the actual result... making us lose connection to the film and start checking the time. Jay did great.
@@stevealford230 Hell yeah thank's for the recommendation Steve! It's on my list to watch, but I'll have to move it to the TOP for tonight's viewing! :D
@@stevealford230 was "method" released already? But it was good? Im glad to hear. I was expecting it to be on everyones "top 10 worst movies of 2019"
This movie is the reason you DONT use the shit out of CGI. Its SOOOO much better when its real. Great fx team!
I loved this movie because it's a fantastic horror! People seem to misunderstand what the body horror subgenre is all about, that's where all the hate comes. It's not about cheap predictable jumpscares or spooky ghosts, it's about the pure, sheer terror of desperation and tragedy. The music, the acting, the atmosphere - just perfect! Thanks for making such a deep breathtaking film.
1:18:26 hey look Wallace got his human body back
I think you mean mr tusk
For some reason, Tusk remains the most under-rated horror movie of all time. It should be a cult classic like Human Centipede.
Tusk is better than HC imo
Human Centipede is good but Human Centipede 2 is a masterpiece for gory horror fans like me. That scene with the newborn baby.....oh, mama.
@@muckymucks exactly why tusk is better, it's mostly psychological horror with some weird prosthetics, not ppl shitting in each others mouths
Tusk might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Incompetence on every level. I love that.
@@johnpliskin8759 There's different kinds of horror. I'd classify Human Centipede 2 as a subset of slasher movies. Then there's movies like The Sixth Sense. Both are good pieces of horror.
I honestly believe Tusk is one of the best movies ever made.
Same
Only cost 3 million. Proves good movies don’t have to cost $290 million
These are what extra features on DVDs used to be. Love this!
This was not on the DVD, it is a separate documentary.
I feel compelled to write a small novel about my experience with Tusk, I found it funny enough to type out hopefully you find this funny enough to read.
Been a Kevin Smith fan since Mallrats, CZcams/podcasts been a fan for about 3 months since I realized that was a thing. I watched Tusk for the first time a few years ago with my husband on some streaming service a few years ago. I had no idea this movie existed. My husband informed me it was a horror movie that Kevin Smith made. I replied that those were two things I liked individually and had no idea how that would go...so let’s put it on. So I knew next to nothing. I didn’t know this was a talked about thing on the podcast.
Fast forward to halfway through the movie my husband pauses it to get a snack. This was around the time it’s revealed that Justin Long woke up to find out he now had fewer legs than he’d fallen asleep with. My husband noticed my heart beat was racing and asked if I needed him to turn it off because he’d never seen me truly scared to the point of having a physical reaction. I cry at emotional commercials but I don’t get scared. I was a little shocked myself because I’d never really had that kind of terror reaction to any horror movie previously or since. I’m not just saying that to verbally blow Kevin Smith on the internet - I just think you should know I was actually scared. Good job.
It was so fucking terrifying to not know the guy was turning Justin Long into a walrus going into this. I once swore off ever watching it again and I’ve even refused to watch things Justin Long has done since. I’m so amused that this was a thing on the podcast but i love the way I found this - otherwise I would have been too amused about cameos in the movie that I’d be looking out for to be scared.
TLDR; I would wager that anyone, like myself, naive enough to watch a horror movie called Tusk knowing that Kevin Smith made and and still somehow not know this would end up in a walrus suit got a better, more terrifying experience.
My favorite part of this is the heart to heart Kevin and Justin had while still wearing thew full walrus mask :'D
Still patiently awaiting moose jaws Kevin. Keep bringing the great work all over my face, neck and chest
Yeh what happened with MooseJaws? I wanted to see that idea
@@stevetoth7136 yeah dude
@@stevetoth7136 He would keep announcing he'd found financing, then 6 months would go by, then he would announce he had found financing again. Rinse, repeat. At this point I just assume it's never gonna happen.
@@tommytaylor4336 You underestimate how much Smith loves trilogies.
I am so in favour of the great white North trilogy!
Bring It On, even if it's an on demand event, this Trilogy needs its third part!
Thanks man!
This movie gave me one of my favorite workplace moments. I had watched Tusk the night before, and I was just attempting to explain what happened in the movie, and I just.... couldn't. I ended up freaking out and almost crying in laughter because I really did not understand why the hell he was a walrus. I literally could not process it and put it into words. That is how I will remember this movie. Just what the fuck.
Watching tusk in the theater was a great experience. The nervous laughter from everyone was on another level. I actually thought it was a nice return to form from Kevin, not a career killer. It was an escape and I was captivated the whole time.
The "Walrus" portion of Tusk was filmed in my neighborhood. There is a golf course in the neighborhood, and at the time of the filming of Tusk it was in bankruptcy, so the club house was empty and the grounds were suitably desolate. There actually is a mansion on top of a hill, but pretty sure they didn't film anything there. They used a shot of the cast-iron gate with the name of the mansion (which I think they changed using CGI). I think they filmed all of the interior scenes in the club house. The scene at the very end shows them walking through the parking lot into the club house to visit Mr. Walrus.
is the place where they kept the walrus outside still there? if so do you know the street? thanks
Kevin and Jason's friendship is so fucking pure, it makes me want to go make a movie with my friends.
I miss making of docs like these. In depth ones are so rare these days.
I’ll be seeing you in Van at the roadshow! Stoked to finally meet you!
Not gonna lie one of the most memorable weird ass disturbing movies I’ve ever watched but it was good 😂😂
You know seeing Kevin Smith going out and just making a weird, bizarre, and out of this world film just a split and random idea is actually a very inspiring idea because he went out and made the film.
Probably the most original movie idea ever. He literally talked it and then made it
"Man is such a savage animal, better to be a walrus"
this movie so incredibly f'''cked up that i literally had to look at the behind the scenes just to reassure myself that none of it is real LMAO
39:50 Not only is that a sweet moment, but that guy is officially one of the most awesome people in the world. Getting a birthday thrown in his honor in the middle of making Tusk and the cake served by Jason Mewes? What more can anyone ask?
Justin Long is a shoe in for playing Anthony Kiedis in a Red Hot Chili Peppers movie.
I always thought he looked like a young version of him
This was the last comment I expected to see at 12:30 in the morning I was destined to see it, best idea ever. I will hype this up any day.
This should be called " The Roast Of Jason Mewes"
I stayed up late on a school night (which I had a test 1st hour) to watch this movie because it was on my recommendations on Netflix. I was a little weird out but after a few day of thinking about it I LOVED it! For about a week I was talking about it with my friends when my best friend asked if we could watch it. So we watched it the next weekend, she was disturbed and discussed. Long story short I loved this under rated movie and the everyone who was involved. #walrusyes this will one of my all time favorite horror/comedy film ♥️
this movie messed me up for quite a while after I watched it.
Same. I couldn’t even look at Justin Long. I was disturbed!
I shouldn't of smoked weed before watching it thinking I would actually enjoy it. After the fucking movie i'm literally looking up if its actually possible for someone to be turned into a walrus like this. I couldn't find any information but still with surgery and everything it has to be possible
@@MCrelationz No. Unless you smoke weed. Then it's possible. I repeat. Only people who smoke or have smoked weed can be turned into walruses
Stacey1417 same here, I just can’t get the screaming/image out of my head
Bro it’s literally a comedy
I'm watching this right now by far the most disturbing horror movie I have seen so far
@Harold Paulle no what is it about
@Harold Paulle mmmmmmm imma at least watch the trailer bro lol
@Harold PaulleI don't know if I should take advice from someone with a Michael Jackson profile picture lmao💀
I was emotional while watching the last scene of TUSK. I can feel the pain, Geez! 🥺 and this Behind the scene was so Amazing and worth it to watch! Kuddos to the Director, Writer, Casts and some staff of Tusk. Congratulation's , Y'all did a great job! Btw. I'm one of your supporter here in the Philippines. 👏
When Kevin Smith speaks, it makes me so fucking happy. Thank you for everything Kevin Smith.
Still one of my favorite movies. listening to the original Smodcast episode, then watching it come about in the following years was amazing and very inspirational. Keep up the great work Kevin.
I actually love both this and Red State - I think they're some of the best things Kevin has made, he has a good eye for horror and thriller movies. Not just comedy.
Cole Edits I had no idea red state was a smith film! Ah it’s actually a genius movie
I keep thinking about the scene that Kevin wanted as the end but didn’t have the budget, look into it it’s tight
This was the first R Rated movie I legally bought a ticket for and i still have my stub in my little collection. I love this movie man I remember having nightmares that night about the walrus and just being stuck inside that suit.
Kevin made a horror movie so disturbing that most people can’t watch it without leaving mentally confused. This will be a movie that will be viewed as a masterpiece in the future and not appreciated in it’s time.
I’m kind of late to the party, but this was such an amazing film. How they were able to combine comedy, horror, plus great acting from Michael parks and Justin long, and truly disturbing but brilliant special effects that at the end left you so emotional and sad. I also felt like the film had a message and that soundtrack was so good.
A-ma-zing. Walrus yes ✅
Honestly I think everything you touch is gold. You haven’t just made movies you have created a family and that is what I connect with.
Tusk is one of the only movies I’ve seen that legit disturbed me watching it. Not in a bad way, just in a way that sticks with ya. It was as awesome as it was disturbing and as funny as it was fucked.
Kevin please bring the roadshow to the UK we need that reboot man
rictualfury I second this!
I third that!
Or Europe in general
I’m on board
I watched Tusk thinking, "I consider myself a Kevin Smith fan, but haven't given this film a chance". So, i rented and screened it. My overall opinion is that it's great, a true comedic horror piece. Thanks K. Smith.
HAHA @13:15 behind Kevin & Jason, that part alone has got me sold on watching the rest of this.
This is probably the only film of his that I actually like. It's truly a MASTERPIECE of story telling and cinematography that imo elevates film making to a whole new level.
This is was one of the craziest flicks i ever seen. That being said; thank you Kev for posting this. As a filmmaker, this Doc provides me with great inspiration.
This movie is insane! I love it, the story is so unique, twisted and brilliant. I love Justin Long, I wish we could see him in more horror films! Kevin seems so down to Earth and works great with everyone which is awesome.
Actually saw this at one of the "live" Q&A theater events. My only issue with the flick was that it stayed unflinchingly loyal to the ideas and plot laid out in the podcast, so there were no surprises or twists if you were already a fan. If you heard the podcast, it was exactly that, so I don't know how shocked you can be as viewer if you already knew what precisely was going to happen.
5 years already? Damn. I remember when I first heard about the movie and watching it in an empty theater lol that ending though. The feels.
I remember when it was coming out,I used to get movies with my dad at a place called Front Row Seat, and I remember seeing the red poster of TUSK, an I was 9 or 10, I thought it was like twilight stuff, but before my 16 birthday 4 days ago on the 11th, I got really high and I saw the scene when the dude was a walrus, I was freaking out like, geezr imagine being a freaking walrus when you wake up
Dude, honestly I love all your View Askewunivers stuff but the Tusk was the bomb man! You killed it. Watched it like 5 times. It's my fav movie to show ppl... Love to watch them creeped out :D all of my friends to this day remember the experience!
I just watched the clerks 2 doc the other day and remember wishing there was a tusk version of it. THANK YOU IM SO EXCITED
You know what, I'm not a massive fan of Kev Smith movies, but he seems like a really nice fella, with a big heart. He has looked after Jason , and helped him get his life together. Cool guy. Glad Kev's looking after his health. Also, Tusk was an Okay film, and didn't deserve the back lash it got. It kind of reminded me of human centipede. Power to you, man.
Was great seeing harley from epic meal time in the film, looks like he brought a lot of fun on set as well!
I watched Dogma again recently. The epic crane shots at the end then going into Alanis Morrisette song still brings the feels. While Smith has improved as a filmmaker, I feel like Dogma is overall his best work because it works on so many levels. It would need a good budget, but I could definitely see Smith going back to this film as a reboot/sequel to great success.
We got a Saudi sequel/continuation to dogma in reboot
@@DruTubeyt saudi sequel?
I followed this whole process smodcast to DVD and I own it. Flooding here in Houston so I watched this awesome doc. Now I am going to go watch Tusk! Thanks for bringing sunshine to my rain day.
ten years later and tusk is still my all time favorite movie!
Michael Parks saying "Ahh fucking Jerk" at Kevin Smiths direction is one of my favourite outakes ever.
Loved it. TUSK is one of my all-time favorites of yours. Parks is a big part of that. And it was a joy to watch all the love between everyone behind the camera. People seem to have a good time working on your flicks.
I remember being so excited to see this. My fiancee at the time brought me to see it opening night. And my immediate reaction was "Wow, fuck that movie".
And though I never revisited it, over the years I developed a qausi obsession over it. And ultimately an appreciation for it.
And what I really craved was a behind the scenes of TUSK. So thank you.
Thank you Kevin and friends for giving us this behind the scenes look!! 😁 I love Tusk even more now!
Tusk is literally the reason why my mood is always down
Hey Kev, I was there! I saw Tusk at the "midnight" screening on opening day and definitely had a good time!
Justin long complementing smith in the mask was hilarious.
Tusk was instantly an all time favorite movie for me. So insanely well put together. It stands alone. Thank you Kevin Smith for the epic entertainment and inspiration God Bless!
Thank you for showing us this. I'll be using everything I learned from you over all these years to finally finish my own film hopefully sometime soon.
Wow, 3,600 views...more people watched this than paid to see the movie in theaters, great job!!
I know Kevin jokes and craps on Tusk a lot, but I honestly love it!
Kevin Smith is one of the most original filmmakers of our time. He makes movies he wants to make for the sake of making art. Total purist in my opinion
When I saw this movie I left speechless and the first thing I thought after it was, if this movie can get made then anything is possible. But in a “we went to the moon” type of way. I love you Kev, thanks for this flick.
On the first shot of the walrus i have never laughed so hard in my life!
This ending of the film is too far gone for me. Any person with any kind of a heart would have pulled that trigger and ended the pain right there, as opposed to keeping that thing alive.
It was been ironic for the story
But then they wouldn't have been able to pay off the set-up from earlier with Ally's line about crying separating us from the animals, so the movie would've felt unfinsihed
@@tommytaylor4336 The set-up is there *because* of the ending. With a different ending it would obviously not be there.
I just don't see that thing living in a public zoo. Too many angry Karens and traumatized children after seeing the human walrus.
Love that you included the impressions at the end. Laughed my ass off. 🤣
Seeing parks in a walrus outfit playing it seriously is nuts. How does he even keep a straight face.
“Can you say may I interest you in some tea.”
“You fackin jerk”
I need a red state making of man! The whole world needs it!😬🤘
I highly agree with you
Parsa Goldar the ten year would be a nice release
Parsa Goldar yes I really liked that one would love to see a making of
That’s my favourite movie of his, love almost all of them tho
That was an intense film. Really loved it
So weird to see fluffy Kev and skinny Kev in the same video lol Hope one day you’ll come visit Newfoundland Canada
I waited outside my local movie rental place the day it was released, the proper kevin smith way... Love this movie so much
Love watching the behind-the-scenes videos.
Great Stuff!! Really raw look at the making of this movie. I'm glad I sat down and watch this...... and for free!!!!
The directing was so uniquely enjoyable.
Keep up the great work Jason.
Kevin Smith, Man of the People. Thank you so much for this. Tusk is one of the best films of all time.
Thank you for making this free to watch. I would have paid, but this is Christmas.
Tusk is the best walrus movie I've ever seen.
Aww, we love Jen Schwabach! Kevin is a true Hollywood story, right down to the "shlubby guy gets hot girl" trope.
Thank you so much for the free doc! I loved it! My only complaint is there was nothing with Harley and Lily-Rose or Johnny Depp.
Ever since the man Stan Lee passed, I have noticed kevin Smith making new content. I love it, I can see the inspiration in everything kevin has been putting out. Keep putting out new content, we love it.
One of my favorite creepy little horror tales, and as a fan of behind the scenes footage and learning how it all happens....this is the chiz! Lookin' good by the Kev, Keep it up!
