For the longest time this was peak video game adaptation.
STILL*
Despite the fact it didn't follow any of the games. Fun movie.
For the op, has that change?@@Resimaster there many references of early games on the movie, it follows the spirit than any of the plots, which imo is even more important.
It was the ONLY one ha
@@theultimateninja i do like the first RE and the first SH movies.
god I was so obsessed with this movie as a kid, literally every month, during the 4 hour drive to visit my grandparents, my parents would set it up on that thing with the VHS player between the seats and id just watch it over and over
I never even knew cars could have tape players. I think I’ve only ever been in a car with the DVD player installed once. My cousins had the portable flip screen tho!
@Garlic Jr. it was an option in some Cadillac Escalades way back in the OBS GM truck years, really makes you feel like a king when you can watch anything in your car! 😄
@@MidnightMechanic Hah that’s incredible, just trying to imagine a VHS tape in a bumpy car ride. I guess if it’s a Cadillac the VHS wouldnt feel anything.
When taking Physics in college, we were learning the concept of Momentum (P). I used the scene in Tomb Raider where the knife was stuck in air due to time being stopped as reference. It takes Lara much effort to turns the knife around. So momentum is like the tendency of object going foward. When the time stopped the object is not moving, but you need to apply much force to make it stop or even turn it around. The more the mass the more the momentum (tendency).
Sweet.
The training for this movie also got Angelina to stop smoking and drinking which brought about her healthy phase. 🥰 Gotta love those DVD extras! Thanks, Kai! Amazing work as always!
It’s insane how much liberty was taken with Lara’s story, past, and appearance yet still was a definitive adaptation for the 2000’s!
Glad Angelina spoke up on black, they still captured Lara’s style without the signature top and shorts or colors, and arguably brought Lara into the contemporary era.
In my opinion, this is the most watchable video game movie. It's wonderfully cheesey and the stunt work is actually pretty great. Angelina doing her own stunts was really awesome of her.
I don't like that this was the beginning of Lara's daddy issues that would become a staple of the series afterwards, but I do like this version of Lara who doesn't kill people or endangered species. It was definitely done for a lower age rating and thus getting more ticket sales, but still. THis is probably the most true to source material depiction of a video game character to film, and I can't compliment Jolie's cool performance of Lara enough.
I remember going to see this film in theatres. I had mild sunburn and had reached the "itchy all over" stage the day I was supposed to go with my aunt and cousin. She told me over the phone to take a warm shower to see if that helped. It helped immensely and we went to go see this without me scratching all over.
My aunt passed away in 2012, and seeing this in theatres with her and her son remains one of my favorite memories of hers. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Oh, and you forgot to mention that Lara's shower scene was inspired by the urban legend that stated if you beat the whole game without dying that you would see a special end scene where Lara is showering, notices the camera watching her, then shooting the camera. Lol
They kinda played on that ending in TR2, don't you think you've seen enough? Lol
This movie feels much younger than it is, it's already over 20 years old and still holds up as the definitive Tomb Raider movie, well before the Legacy trilogy was in development! Angelina Jolie was made for this role, I'm so glad she took it, she was born to play Lara Croft, just right after Gone In 60 Seconds!
Seeing Chris Barrie in a production that isn't Red Dwarf will always be surreal to me.
This film is one of my absolute favourites. Not a guilty pleasure favourite, but a genuine let me sit down and talk to you for 20 minutes about how Angelina Jolie was born to play Lara Croft favourite. It gets overlooked constantly and given a bad name for some of the acting (Daniel Craig is English, why couldn’t he just be English and not American) but it’s so up there with good game adapted movies. It’s camp, it’s action packed, it’s got references through the roof, it’s classic Lara in person at her best.
I went to see this in the theater when it came out and I must say I really enjoyed it. They did a really good job. Also love the nods to the games.
OH MY GOSH! I LOVE this movie! I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid and it was one of the movies I’d watch when I was sick to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I still think all the Tomb Raider movies are some of the best video game adaptations and don’t deserve the hate they get; granted I haven’t seen Cradle of Life in forever, but I still enjoyed all the movies and think they’re all pretty solid movies.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane, Inky! 😄🤗
I didn’t know a lot of these and I’ve been a fan of the franchise for a long time,thank you!
Chris Barrie is most famous for playing the hologram of Rimmer in the bbc scifi comedy show, Red Dwarf
As a kid I used to nitpick this movie because "it isnt like the games". As an adult, I get to apreciate how close to the games was without loosing focus of being a movie and not a game.
Also I used to not understand a lot about the games so I got wrong many things.
These movie facts videos are so much fun to watch, especially when you find out about something about the movie you didn't know about and actually find it really cool. Speaking of which, will there be more Resident Evil movie facts videos?
One of the reasons that I love the movie is that it's increased the reputation of the Angkor Wat and other temples in Cambodia. I love all the fact video series and thanks for referencing Cambodia! 🙏
Jon Voight being a father is so wholesome.
I love all of the actresses that turned down the role when only maybe ONE of them (Denise Richards) was even CLOSE to fitting the bill to look like classic Lara. 😂
Such a guilty-pleasure series for me. Jolie embodied Lara in a way that I don’t know anybody could ever touch again. Shame they didn’t do as well as they could have but I still enjoy them to this day (the first more than the second but I’m a glutton for punishment. 😂)
Still love this movie :D Also, she went through a lot for those prayer wheels XD I would've been mad at Alex too!
Quite an enjoyable film. I watched at the cinema and loved it because I was a huge fan of the games. And also loved angelina and the matrix style and music so everything clicked.
I love this film and knew about the record player as I am into things like that.
Can you also do cradle of life ? :-) love this
I remember loving this movie when it first came out, although I wished it had depicted Lara's trademark outfit!
I saw this at the cinema twice and love it so much, the second one is amazing too as it reference's more from the games.
Great movie honestly, had some pretty cool practical effects and big scale scenes.
Still my favourite video game movie. Loved this video, I was surprised to learn Rhona Mitra auditioned and was turned down. She was an official real life Lara model and she's a great actress too. While I cannot imagine anyone else playing this role now. Rhona or Kate Beckinsale would of made excellent Crofts.
Well I'm glad they gave Rhonda an audition since she was lichrally a Lara croft model
Finally! Some Facts I did already know. But the Facts 14 & 1 were really surprisingly to me. Thanks, and great work Kai! I hope you make another video for the sequel :)
Fact no.7 is so innocent, I kinda feel bad for him lol
Ink ribbon: "a 'dead zone' is a zone of water that has very low oxygen, allowing very low life."
My brain: "entering ecological dead zone. adding data to report."
Great soundtrack too
This and the Dead or Alive movie are my personal guilty pleasure films. Im at work and now I'm gonna watch this since I got nothing going on
I will admit that this is a great fact video. The research you did with the DVD was spot on. I just wished you discovered the real fact about the locket, not being Lynda Carter. This is the second time that information has been revealed to the world this year even though it's been online through IMDb and even the Fandom Wiki over the years.
man i remember when my dad brought this movie back on VCD, i was so impressed by how great everything looked and it was close to the game’s.. great times 🥲
this is AMAZING wow thanks for this
The 2 x legstrap gun holsters always baffles my mind, there was never any mention as to why, just the odd image.
The Tomb Raider movie poster was the only poster I ever hung in my room as a kid. I wasn’t into posters as a kid/teen, but I loved the movie so much that I had to put the poster up. 😂
I love love love love love this movie
Oh yeah definitely loved that they included the special effects breakdown of that alternative ending but not the scene itself.
And that was the first Lord of the Rings, well Peter Jackson one anyway, that came out in 2001.
Just rewatched the movie because of this and your other Tomb Raider videos :D good old times.
Love these facts videos so much, makes me appreciate the movies alot more
Milla Jovovich would of been interesting.
I love this movie
Really want to watch this now ☺️
Sure seems like they tried to make it accurate to the games and I think that's awesome. Plus Angelina was the perfect person to play Lara.
Thank you!
I love how in February you stop talking about RE and start to talk about TR :D
Awesome video!
Fact 39 is incorrect That is not Lynda Carter. It barely looks like her. In the DVD Commentary, the director said that it's someone in the art department that's in that locket.
Huh. I remember seeing said infomercial for that boxing dummy.
Graeme Revell’s OST set this movie over the top!
I used to think that Simon was modeled from Cain from robocop 2
Love this!
Denise richards looked so perfect for lara croft
It has some flaws but I absolutely love this movie. The soundtrack is amazing. Too bad they didn’t include that intro based on game’s title screen with flying camera.
Kai Tomb Raider: Reloaded is out now for iOS and Android.
Thanks to this movie, I had U2 stuck in my head for a long time.
EL EH VAY SHUUUN
@@InkRibbon Wuuuuuuu-uuuuuh Wuuuuuuuu-uuuuh...
Wasn't it because Jovovic got rejected by this movie that then Paul anderson decided to create a whole RE series to showcase her wife being in an action movie LOLL.... I mean first two movies were alright at least.
How about this;
Toby Gard made a conscious decision to make Lara British and the main villain American, to subvert the popular trope of action films where the hero is always american and the villain is British or otherwise European. He resisted studio pressure to make her American as they thought that'd have been more profitable.
In the film they had her played by an American actress and made the villain British :D
Yep, it is a very good Movie, i also like the Sequel.
I love this movie SO MUCH!! Still my favorite game to movie adaptation of all time. And thank GOD Milla didn't get the role.....
Great video. I still love the original movie. The reboot was great too.
Just one thing, The Lord of the Rings trivia is half right, as the first one came out in 2001, not the second (correct picture though 😁)
I always thought the rubber sarcophagus may not be a blooper, as since it's a training area everything would be artificial anyway, so whoever made it for her probably used something safer.
That's not Chris Barrie, that's Ace Rimmer who dislocated his shoulders, killed several Nazis with a crocodile and saved princess Bonjella 😀
Watching this now as I'm playing the Remastered series. Angelina Jolie did a wonderful job as for Lara Croft ❤
Love it.
My mom loves this movie
Are you going to do facts about various models the devs based Lara on?
Imagine if Daniel Craig went on to star in some huge blockbuster action film himself.
Funny thing is that when my mom and I were watching the reboot of the Tomb Raider movie on HBO, we were debating that it isn't a continuation of Angelina Jolie's movie, but rather based on the 2013 video game. That's where I gave up because she still doesn't believe my claims🤣
Awesome franchise
Any info. on why they weren't allowed to film inside Laras' home?
This movie is 22 years old. I remember the trailers like yesterday and thought Angelina Jolie was a perfect match for Lara Croft.
Shame the third film was canned
Angelina Jolie will always be live action Lara Croft. She was perfect for the 90's lara.
Jolie should come back for Tomb Raider 3
This video is very entertaining 😎
I watched this film for the first time yesterday, and I noticed she has what looks like an SS Nazi logo on her belt. Someone must have noticed that it was problematic as it's photoshopped to look like a more generic skull on the poster. I can't find any info about it!
Funnily enough, the real reason they couldn't keep using those car-boat things is cuz they were grossly unreliable and kept breaking down, so they jus straight up ditched them, I imagine throwing in the dead zone as a viable in-universe reason! Makes sense to me at any rate! Also, I can't remember how many actually did, but there cases of them breaking down ON the water! Not good!
Denise, Charisma, and Rhona could be the only ones that might've done the part justice, but not nearly as fittingly as Angelina did. Still wish they would reboot this movie franchise but not in the way they did 🙄
Also, something interesting I don't know how many people realized: Angelina Jolie is an American actress who plays an English character, while Daniel Craig does just the opposite. So they both had to exchange their accents.
Oh yeah, loved this movie, had a little kid crush on Angelina Jolie because of it (I was like 4 or 5 when it came out)
The robot was actually made for a different movie which got cancelled, so they just shoved it in Tomb Raider, which pisses me off because it definitely doesn't fit...IMO...
Here's a fact. I was in love with Angelina Jolie 🤣
Yay!
❤❤❤❤
Angelina Jolie was the perfect Lara Croft. No one can replace her.
Didn't even know that there were others auditioning. Always thought the movie was only made because of her.
This and the 2nd movie are some of my favourite movies of all time even tho I'm bad at the actual old core games (not angel of darkness cus that game is easy)
As a kid I would watch random levels mostly at the late or very end game like the torso boss, the final TR2 level and with help of coop with my friend I saw the ending of TR4.
Recent years I went back to these old games and I appreciate their gameplay controls alot more than modern TR games where in modern TR n adventure games platforming is very janky or so scripted where the game SPELLS IT OUT where to jump which takes away alot of the fun charm of exploring or there are times animations or collission is janky. But in old TR the collission is very consistently good and I prefer it's old control style over the later crystal dynamic games that I once used to keep on completing.
Surprised there is no fact "Angelina Jolie is hot".
I only saw Angelina in two movies: this one and The Tourist. My whole I thought she was british in real life because she was british in both films. I'm sorry I have a hard time believing she's american.
❤😊
Peak Angelina is pure hotness
Ooo too 50 comments 😂
Others do same thing.
22 years... I'm done. That's just cruel
Imagine having Rhona Mitra, who was an official Lara Croft Model at the audition and not choosing her for a live-action Tomb Raider movie. I like Jolie as actress just fine, but she wasn't Lara Croft for me.
Thailand is one of the best. Yes!! Nevada is nice but the gameplay is too basic. I like the 3 pacific in 3, I’m surprised none made it. None from 1!? Not even midas palace? Wtf? Very strange list 😂😮
i was born in 2001,
I definitely had a crush on Lara from the games. Then they put in Angelina!?!?
🤍❕

What a problem its u also others.
