"You ever been to a Turkish prison?"
I love me a Airplane reference.
I can't stress enough how *good* this movie is. The sword fight at the end is freakin' awesome. The guy that played Sho also played Jerec from Jedi Knight. Interesting bit of trivia for the old school gamers in the audience.
I think the lack of a story is one of this movie's strengths. A lot of movies got to (often) too much trouble to explain the backstory, and end up suffering for it because they paint themselves in to a corner and sometimes end up with plot holes and contradictions, or it comes off as bad writing. With Steel Dawn, they pretty much say "This is the world we are in right now. That's it."
Post apocalyptic movies are so damn good to me. They don't age because they are mainly practical effects and its always possible it could of happened in another timeline well besides the mutants anyway. I think thats why I like them the most.
"let me distract you with my baldness and then hachiba" LOLLLLLL
Got the Blu-Ray for 7 bucks down here in Germany. The label releases all kinds of awesome 80's and 90's action flicks. I recommend them releases for everyone who owns a region free player or some other device to watch them. DigiDreams with their Platinum Cult Collection and their Classic Cult Collection. There's always a bus load of extras on the discs, and the PCE's come with a booklet, but it's in German.
For a switch your brain off kind of movie, i did enjoy it. Essentially its a Futuristic Samurai Western. With a bigger budget or remake they could do alot more with it
Stick your remake up yours
Love this movie when I was a kid there was a VHS at my grandparents house with this and The Wraith with Charlie Sheen my uncle had taped off TV. Watched it dozens of times.
this was one of my favorites as a kid, we had a vhs copy someone taped off the tv
I spent a ridiculous amount of time as a kid doing headstands because of this movie.
I actually saw this in a theater in Austin, Texas when I was a kid so it must have had at least a limited theatrical release in America.
I remember seeing it in theaters too.
Poor Tark. He'll live forever in our hearts.
And on Storage Wars.
For some reason Tark was my favorite non-doggy character in this film
If you squint hard enough every Western is post apocalyptic
Gallen Dugall Considering the technology, and the dangers of that time period, that's actually a very astute observation. I mean, hell, all you'd have to do is eliminate electricity, and we're right back to the Wild West.
Thank you. Pretty sure I was drunk when I wrote this and don't remember writing it.
Shawnee Longbow Pre apocalypse
Western, Post-Apocalypse and Samurai movies almost always have the exact same characters, themes, philosophies and atmospheres.
@@gallendugall8913 🤣🤣🤣
Growing up, I always heard this was an unofficial sequel to RED DAWN where we see what happens to Swayze’s character years after the events of RD. It’s not, I know, but 12 yr old me thought it was kinda cool.
Even though this is an old video, I'll comment here... I just binged your vids for the whole weekend. Loved every one! 48 hours well spent!
I don't know if I need another post-apocalyptic homage to 'Shane' when 'The Road Warrior' already does that perfectly.
I first accidentally saw this movie for the first time late one night when a buddy and I were coming down off of some strong acid. Imagine our delight and confusion. We laughed so hard at one point I got light headed and had a bit of a panic attack. Still funny without the LSD.
Some good old fashion Swayze action.
I LOVED this film as a kid.
i'm here for the Manowar concert...lol...love your channel. thank you for all of your hard work.
CthulhuChow thank you!
GoodBadFlicks
you are very welcome.
This was the first movie I ever got to choose myself. I wasn't a big fan of it as a kid but I watched it a lot since it was mine.
4:06 I was Waiting for that moment. lol
I like the little details, like before the final duel The bad Guy and Swayze look at each other and say "Luck" then "same." It was like that was an old tradition among the officers. They don't need to explain it, but it's just there for you to see,
"Road House" - Peter Griffin
fallout 4 swayze edition
5:55
They were filming an episode of Ninja Warrior.
Hey, bald guy is Mike Dudikoffs "ninja dad" from *American Ninja* (1985) ....Never seen him in anything else before! XD
John Fujioka. He was in "Midway"(but then, so was just about every OTHER Asian actor at the time)
5:02-5:10 ROFL!
I've always enjoyed this film a lot I do love the fact its ''Shane'' in a post apocalyptic setting that's very interesting that you bring up those facts about ''Road House'' and this film I always felt this and ''Next of Kin'' was 2 of Patrick Swayze most overlooked films IMHO. Another fun episode Cecil!
It WAS released in theaters in the US. VERY limited release, but I saw it in Atlanta at a very off-brand theater.
I also love post apocalyptic movies they're great the theme has always attracted me idk why it just has
Especially with Anthony Zerbe as the villian
The dog was my favorite actor from the movie. I would take it home.
That Road House comparison in the end and the last seconds of your video had me in stitches! Good job, Cecil!
Axel Edelsvärd Edwall Thanks!
Picked this up on bluray this week. It was a blast, even if the villain was not at all intimidating and tough to not laugh at. God he was goofy lol
I'm still sad you lost your job but you being able to do what you love and (hopefully) earn a living, is amazing. Thank you for all you do!
+Ruz Thanks! I'm trying my best to make it work :)
He does the roll because old-school karate classes used to teach those as the only way to fall...
Star Wars mixed with mad max mixed with Shane.
Great cast too.
I enjoy that so many of your reviews are of films I have on VHS.
In the present we have Tony Stark. In the future we'll have Stony Tark.
I know this video is almost two years old but that Airplane! reference @5:06 is glorious. I love your videos, can't stop watching them!
If you don't mind watching anime, there's a post-apocalyptic martial arts series named Fist of North Star. The main character uses a pressure points based style that makes his enemies explode. If you don't want to watch 200 episodes, there are 5-6 movies that re-tell the story. Avoid the live-action version starring Gary Daniels (or watch it for a good laugh).
Want a post -apocalyptic version of death machine? Check out 1990's Hardware, it has some impressive visuals and fantastic kills, and it's on Netflix
Hahaha
It's also supposed to be the first 2000 AD movie. Same universe as Judge Dredd.
This is so damn entertaining flick! It is like those Italian post-apocalyptic exploitation films, but has even more cheesiness. Less violence though. Anyways, fun film!
Trivia: In 2021 Lionsgate released a bluray of the title via its Vestron Video Collector's Series line in region A
that old bald guys been in a lot of movies that i love... :)
This was released on VHS as a set with the Rutger Haur movie, Blood Of Heroes.
The knee blade by the villain was pretty cool I always thought . Long forgotten film . But I always liked it growing up .
So glad you brought up this film! Another great episode with great writing^^
I watched this not long after my first CAX up in 29 Palms. I remember not being able to believe these guys could fight to the death at full strength after walking in the desert for miles. You try to walk 5 klicks in the desert and fight, and my money's on the other guy.
Still loved the fight though. First time I ever saw a "two daggers v long sword" duel. Eat your heart out, Jon Snow and Karl Tanner.
10:04 Actually, Steel Dawn did get a theatrical release in the US. In November 1987, it played for two weeks in Los Angeles County.
I loved this movie as a kid.
I saw this movie in the theatre in the U.S. back in 1987. It might have been a double feature with The Barbarian Brothers. Can't exactly remember.
Update: There is a nice vestron blue-ray copy at big lots. I’ll going to go get it today. Another update: I got it!
RIP Swayze
Shane + Kung Fu + Mad Max .... =)
This is probably the inspiration for Fallout...with bad security
THIS is one of those movies i grew up with AWESOME
this is like kenshi but with less bugs
I forgot I saw this fairly recently so I rewatched last night.. It was almost like the filmmakers saw The Road Warrior, Shane and a Sho Kosugi classic ninja film all in the same night and decided to make a movie! I thought it was good.. Dunno about great.. I guess Patrick could do a great Chuck Norris like role if he wanted to..
You should definitely do Nightbreed. :) Keep it up, love your videos.
I love Roadhouse and this seem pretty cool too. I've also been thinking the same way you do, Cecil, about Westerns and post-apocalyptic films. Curiously, I've grown more into Westerns.
I got the original in the paperback case VHS. Fun stuff, one of my favorites.
I definitely remember this being released in the U.S. There was a review for it in the Metro Times in '87 or '88. I think it was filmed before Dirty Dancing.
Thank you, I just watched it on TV. I remembered your show about it. It was on a station called "Comet," sort of a classic Sci-Fi Channel on my local cable network. Followed by Mad Max.
Nunca vi esta pelicula ; ya me dan ganas de verla !!!!
> In a yoga position
"can't I just do yoga?"
i seen this movie when it came out on vhs.
The tower/scaffolding structure is from Fellini"s 81/2
8:25 Holy shit is that the guy who ran around yelling "Cabot! Cabot! Hey Cabot! Cabot! Hey Cabot!"
I feel Patrick’s character reminds me of of cloud from final fantasy 7
Yet northeaster in the list of movies that at some point was found in a video store during my childhood/teens.
I mostly remembered the seed scene for some reason.
So glad Vestron is releasing this...
This was just on Comet yesterday. Gotta record it if it turns up again. I have it on VHS--somewhere...
That scene at the end...😭😭😭😭
I wouldn't mind seeing this movie get a Fury Road-style update. The result might be a remake-in-name-only, but with Mad Max topping everybody's best of 2015 lists, I expect we'll see a fresh batch of impersonators soon enough.
They remade it decently recently, doubt we will see it again for awhile
Saw this years ago on late night TV
I remember seeing this for the first time at the vhs rental place and til this day, I have never watched it.
OMG, I just had to look it up, but that baddie behind the main baddy - was indeed Arnold Vosloo :D And Brion James - this movie is already on my must see list halfway through ;)
+Judson Joist Hmm, "We should take some pictures - ehm - for the archives." He's so awesome in the fifth Element! Have not seen Crimewave, will have to check that out if possible ;)
But of course I know Darkman 2 and 3 and Hard Target: not only one of my fav movies, but Pik van Cleaf also inspired me to write my first longer fanfic - and also the first in English! Then again is there a better combi of villains than Lance Hendriksen with Arnold Vosloo as a sidekick?
i finally found someone who isnt too big on westerns
Just bought the blu-ray a week ago...still an awesome movie!
Rad, I used to love this movie!
Is this Kenshi: The Movie?
Is that any good?
@@geofff.3343 Great game
3:57 epicness!!
I went to the theatre thinking that this was the sequel to "Red Dawn".
Thank you so much for your great work!
Cord gets stabbed in the jimmy?!? Now he'll never be a pissmaker!!
RIP Swazey express
One of my favorite Patrick Swayze movies.
Please do The Blood of Heroes. Such an underrated movie!
You can watch this free on Amazon right now if you sign up for a MovieSphere trial.
Anyway, that's how I watched it.
Hey want a post-apocalyptic version of death machine? Watch 1990's Hardware, it has awesome visuals, and some cool kills, come on just check it out its on netflix.
I'm pretty sure he's seen it, he mentioned Richard Stanely(director of Hardware) in one his Netflix Instant recommendations for the documentary about Dr. Moreau.
I have this badboy on VHS :D classic
For the music, are we talking about Brian May from Queen?
Ever apocalyptic movie should have a kid or a dog in it. Personally I always prefer it if one of them turns out to a be a robot.
"A Boy And His Dog"
I learned to stand on my head because of this movie.
Cecil, I forgot that Patrick Swazye starred in this movie. Excellent video, keep up the good work.
Have you ever done a review of Brain Damage? I did a search on your channel, but couldn't find anything. You should do that one too.
Also, my favorite from this one is "random defensive roll!"
Never saw this before... will check it out ! Thanks for the vid
The head villain looks like the singer from Simply Red
lmao
I just can't place it but I know I have seen the actor that plays Nomad before. I think it was some big action movie.
This movie is awsome! Still think so!
