"God, in a golden Mercedes, comes down to earth..."
Genius writing at work, I see.
Thrano well,God has to have a bit of class,doesn't he..huh..?
Sharon Spears-mandeville I agree!
It’s actually a rolls Royce (carmargue)
@@Th-xy1yw the most expensive, technically forward and 1st downsized RR .. also like The Apple a totally understand flop.. totally appropriate
This movie is a wonderfully magical disaster. I'm hoping to catch a screening of it someday in the theater, I'm sure it would be a blast
"For a movie called 'The Apple'...
...IT'S FUCKING BANANAS!"
...Perfect one sentence review, LOL...
i just picture some annoyed employee standing in the corner of the lobby angrily looking at his watch waiting for the fifth musical number of the day to finish so he could back to his office
05:07 "First you sell it, then you make it. That's marketing!"
Yup. That's the business model of Cannon films, and it worked well for them for many years. First you make the poster with a cool title and Chuck Norris' face on it. Then you take it to the market and find investors. If it sells, you rush a movie out as soon as possible. Oh, and get someone on the set to figure ot a story that fits.
Menahem Golan was describing himself. Haha.
And for those who may not immediately recognize him, the guy playing Mr. Boogalow is Vlaydek Sheybal. He was Kronsteen, the SPECTRE master planner who came up with the scheme that fuels the plot in From Russia With Love.
He's also in the 1967 Casino Royale film
6:15 "Umm..can you firemen pleeease stop dancing!?? Our house in on fire!! We're trapped in here!11 HELLP! ahh. forget it."
RedDragonM1 LOL
no way, they are doing the BIM in there as well, while on fire, lol
This movie is the closest thing to my idea of what Hell would be like. It's pretty much the complete antithesis of everything I love and enjoy.
I LOVE the music in this flick, but it was hard to watch until I discovered the Rifftrax version. What Mike, Kevin and Bill do to this flick is masterful. One of Rifftrax's best turns since MST3K
That Phantom mention :) Love that mash-up of Picture of Dorian Gray, Phantom of the Opera, and Faust all balled into a giant middle finger to the music industry (Doo-wop, Beach Boys, Kiss, T-Rex, etc). And Paul Williams, with his underlying tragedy in most lyrics, writing for these songs was perfect on multiple levels. In 1994, I went to the local Blockbuster and rented it. The cashier chuckled and told me I was the first person to rent that movie from that store. Good times.
Honestly it's one of my favorite crazy films.
I love how the fireman are dancing, dude shit's on fire
Finally got to see this....film. I found myself saying WTF quite a few times out loud. I also thought this is so great! No way to really describe it except ‘dude you just gotta see it to believe it!’ Can’t quite figure out what they were going for but oh my good golly did they give us this amazing screwed up greatness. Love your videos and hope you continue on with them. They are often the highlight of my day.
Seconded - it's a brilliant, joyous, transcendent film and this video is the best and fairest write-up of it that I've ever seen!
Can you imagine a worse world than having to wear a sticker on your face and drop everything you're doing at a moment's notice every damn day to sing and dance to HeyHeyHey BIMs on the way ?
I'm finally cracking into the old stuff, I absolutely love this channel
Why hasn't this been on Broadway yet
Because it was already a musical in Israel.
Because hey hey hey BIM’s the way
I remember watching this on cable when I was 7 or 8 with my sister. That was almost 40 years ago. We're still not quite right to this day.
Was "god's" diplomatic immunity revoked by Danny Glover at the end?
I LOVE THIS TRAIN WRECK! Any chance you'll ever do Shock Treatment? It's my favorite!
I *have* done LSD. Many times. It's never been anywhere near this disturbing.
Lmao I was thinking the same thing
Thank you for your service!
The whole movie was so weird, I just figured they made it up.
To be fair, I'm sure you didn't know there was a Horneytown, North Carolina.
Moose Jaw is a city in Canada lol
+Jenny Cook lol I found out after the fact from someone in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan
+GoodBadFlicks how do you get past copy rights
I think Roger Waters mentions it in one of his songs called "Home."
Flin Flon was sad about losing out to Moose Jaw. Saskatchewan must have had a bigger marketing budget than Manitoba.
@@KuriusOranj Or Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump.
Many thanks. :)
That one made me laugh too as I was putting it in there.
I own the soundtrack on vinyl. Must have survived that screening.
I first saw this on the American "The Movie Channel" in .. 1981 or 82. It was a satellite broadcast intended for a community in the Rocky Mountains -- my parent's house was up high looking out at the mountains --- by happenstance our cable went out -- I had the steel garage door open and was connecting an old antenna -- and I picked up the signal -- so I had to have the garage door open to receive it (figured it deflected the signal to the antenna). We got all these cool movies that -- at the time -- were not available on TV (bad language, no commercials on TV was crazy cool at the time -- all my high school buddies, no bars we would watch this channel with our girl friends).
Glenn Laycock DUDE! THATS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! 🤩
6:21 I think that guy died on the operating table after his dance lmao
"bird chested wimp" is a perfect description of that Dandy guy. I was trying to come up with something to call him but you nailed it.
"Boogaloo" is an ancient Sumerian word for "Box Office Poison".
Speed and BIM are very catchy.
It's hard to overstate how fantastically insane this movie is. A real WTFquake.
I genuinely LOVE the soundtrack to this movie. Plus, it tickles me growing up in the 80s
and 90s in a super Christian family always pushing the idea that the culture was getting ever more more sinful and debauched, that the dirtiest song I've ever heard came from a disco era musical from 1979, four years before I was born.
This video got me curious about the strangest things; movie ratings. I ended up learning why porn is all about adding X's to their videos, and that PG-13 wasn't on the books until 1984. So basically every movie that wasn't violent enough to be rated R, got a PG rating by default: Jaws, for example.
This horrid film was so ahead of it's time sadly.....with Americas Got Talent, American Idol......and celebrity worship. Set in 1994 made in 1980......wow they sure saw what was to come!
Neal Damiano They nailed it!
It's not horrid, it's awesome!
The Eurovision Song Contest already existed. Look at the israeli song A Ba Ni Bi from 1978, or Dschinghis Khan from Germany 1979.
Thanks!
Awesome, I'm happy to turn more people on to Society. That movie is great and so different from just about everything.
If you're wondering how a movie this insane gets made, check out the documentary Electric Boogaloo (2014). It's about the director/writer of this movie and his businessman cousin who were behind the independent studio Cannon. They were responsible for many other unhinged masterpieces of bad moviemaking like Lifeforce.
The anti commercial message of the Apple of funny considering how they usually put box office ahead of good taste themselves.
Cast member Alan Love was also the owner of Ruby Tates on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares too
Thought that you'd like that! "Phantom of the Paradise" would make a good review. That or "Cannibal the Musical" and "Murder Rock".
-For a movie called "the Apple" its fucking BANANAS!-
Admit it, you've been hanging on to that one for a while.
The BIM mark. When you need a cosplay quickly. Just make sure you do The BIM at 4pm.
I could only guess that the BIM Mark represents the Mark of the Beast.
William Crowe You are correct, sir!
Joss Ackland as God and Miriam Margolyes as the Landlady? That's some good talent.
man...that's what i was thinking...she was in the Apple ???
I came to know this movie through Rifftrax. And though I loathe musicals, I have to admit, I love this movie. One of two of the tunes are bad, but the rest are so freakin' catchy. *humming "I know how to be a...mah-stah"*.
I lost it at epic sax guy. Like always love the random refrences. Good job.
I watched this while high and it was magical
discovered so many good films from goodbadflicks
Menahem Golan.
You said it all.
IIRC, this was supposed to be a retelling of Adam & Eve. There was a Netflix documentary about Golan-Globus called Electric Boogaloo. Good little movie.
Thanks! Its currently on Netflix instant if you have it
Its up there with the Star Wars Holiday special.
Too funny. Moose Jaw is a small city in Saskatchewan Canada. My dad was from there.
Cool!
Allan Love became a restaurant owner and appeared in one episode of UK kitchen nightmare.
Isn't God the south african with "diplomatic imunity" from Lethal Weapon 2?
You have a good eye. His name is Joss Ackland. He also played Chuck De Nomolos in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and the Russian Ambassador in The Hunt for Red October, and about a hundred other films. He titled his autobiography "I'm in there Somewhere" because he's had so many small roles.
Moosejaw is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo is the GREATEST movie ever made!
This was either an accurate prediction of what 1994 would be like, or I was drinking WAY too much tequila in 1994!!!
This is the gayest yet the most Christian movie I've ever seen. That's got to be some kind of achievement right there.
Clearly, not enough gays were involved in this.
Maagdjes.
This looks like someone tried to cross the Rocky Horror Picture Show with the Fifth Element
I have never heard or seen this movie before and I was around in 1980 too. Anyway I thought the title the Apple was referring to New York City. Some of the songs sound good but I don't know if I would like this movie. Rock & Rule is better in telling a story about good vs evil that is set in the future with a rocking soundtrack.
Martin Guzman Rock & Rule is definitely the better movie.
This is like an episode of Black Mirror.
I don't care what anyone says - this is so much better a musical than "Rocky Horror". “The Apple” catchy, hilarious, unique, and yet poignant.
Someone really needs to do a live fan riff/commentary of this - outside of Rifftrax (who did a phenomenal job).
I only like certain segments, and songs from Rocky Horror, but the Apple is insanity. It's very funny.
I haven't seen this movie, but from the clips this looks like a cross between Rocky Horror Picture Show and Alien From L.A.
I have been looking for this movie for years.
The actor who played Dandy appeared on an episode of Gordon Ramsays kitchen nightmares Uk trying to help his seafood restaurant.
Menahem does not rhyme with Anaheim, but rather is pronounced men-AH-im, where the H is a sound halfway between k and h, sort of like the ch in the German word "ach or Scottish "loch".
The Hebrews must have had terrible allergies in Egypt bc their language always sounds like they have a stuffy nose and are trying to gargle a throat lozenge. Case in point: Men-ACH-im
And then... "Hot Problems"! THAT was EPIC!!! Well done, Sir! :D
Its amazing how you hit the radar. Its because of your great content, but I see others here a year ago or so.
This just showed up on Amazon Prime. After watching your video, I had to watch it. You're right - awesome as only the 70's could manage.
Professor Sprout from Harry Potter is the landlord, and De Nomolos from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was the hippie leader/Mr. Topps.
I love your accent when you say things like fantastic and bananas
Purely for the fact you managed to use a clip of Eurovision from BBC3 in the UK lol
Why thank you! That is a very good description of this flick.
awesome ending for a movie, funny enough 1994 had grunge like you said I would say about 2009ish is when most radio music had one bland sound
I have liked this since I have seen it in a Valletta Cinema in Malta and still like it today.
Missed that one, gotta see it!:D
Morten Rolfson its a treat!
I am sure everyone here are “bad” movie fans. If you have not seen it, RUN and get it! It defies description. All the CZcams commentators have covered it from solid to click bait but it’s like sex or combat. Talk about it all you want, nothing describes it until AFTER. Watch it then watch this again. You’ll thank me. I can say I no longer feel dirty about my desire to meet an actual, actual, actual vampire. BTW LSD whilst camping is wonderful. I wouldn’t waste a dose on this. It’s twisted enough. That green lighting when someone been pounding “your” old lady? Subtlety thy name is The Apple.
I legitimately love this film so much.
This is the first Jem movie.
Thank you! They currently aren't taking in anyone new outside of people for their new ventures. (the scripted shows they are doing) I applied a while ago but was rejected. Oh well, I'll just make it on my own.
It's a silver cloud Rols Royce, by the way, this movie owns you!
"Please find me a pair of paaaaaaants"
:)
I think people miss this for the satire it is meant to be. Once you view it in that light, it becomes rather enjoyable in a bad way.
I don't give a shit what The Cinema Snob says. This movie is campy fun and some of the music is pretty catchy.
***** more than likely Brad enjoyed the movie. He likes a lot of the stuff he trashes as the Cinema Snob
GoodBadFlicks
Perhaps. But I think there were a couple of Midnight Screening vids where he said he disliked The Apple.
*****
I'll ask him the next time I talk to him.
Ok. Hope I don't get in trouble, though.
*****
trouble? What is this grade school? Nothing wrong with asking someone what their opinion is on something.
Wow this movie is phenomenal ... phenomenon...
looks like a musical version of The Hunger Games
5:50 : so professor Sprout side hustle is appartment renting ?!
HIPPIES!!!
One of the lead rolls aka the actor that plays Dandy has now a restaurant, which featured in Gordon Ramsey's Nightmare Kitchens UK.
thats a pretty good comparison.
Moose Jaw is about like an hour or two away from where i live hahaha
This movie spoke to me on a soul shattering level
Thanks! You too!
Could someone please explain to me what Lamda, Lamda, Lamda is and the symbol?
As for the film. I don't think there is any rational explanation for it except it was the 70's and cocaine is a hell of a drug.
The Tri Lams was a fraternity in the movie Revenge of the Nerds. Never heard of that movie? Ask your folks! :p
This is pure unadulterated drug-influenced nonsense----and I LOVE IT!
I lost it at Epic Sax Guy
Moosejaw is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada!
Thank you!
That ending... sounds like Heavens Gate.
O
M
G
Why thank you!
Oh wow, I have to see this one now. Thank you Trachenburg and great review!!
It's not a matter of being sensitive - there was a time when parents would actually guide their children, so being told that parental guidance was needed meant something. These days, parents let their kids do whatever they want, forcing outside groups to do the parenting for them.
absolutely!
most ppl there are crap
all your vids are awesome
I expected God to invoke diplomatic immunity
Thanks!
