Tarantino was under the radar back in the mid 90's !!!! Critics loved him but most movie fans didn't really know he existed except me & a few others !!!! Tarantino blew up after Kill Bill , before that he wasn't that known by most movie fans but after Kill Bill & Inglorious Bastards , he became a household name & i think that's what this director is dealing with tbh but im sure his forth film will get him in that door just like it did with Tarantinos fourth film did !!!!
@@MLawrence-z9k That's a great comparison. S. Craig Zahler wrote screenplays before directing honing his writing chops, just like Tarantino did. They both came out swinging with 1970s grindhouse-inspired filmmaking to critical acclaim
@@DudeILoveMovies thanks I really appreciate that especially from u ❤️ I'm proud to be one of the original fans by both directors over the years!!!!! I started with Pulp Fiction back in 94 with Tarantino & I started of with Bone Tomahawk in 2017 with Zahler so I have no doubt his next film will definitely be his big break now that ppl are finally starting to pay close attention to him ❤️
@@MLawrence-z9k Thank you so much! I wish I could've been around when Tarantino was just getting started. Seeing his early films in theaters must have been fantastic!
@@DudeILoveMovies unfortunately the only Tarantino film I actually got to see in theaters was "Inglorious Bastards" believe it or not & I honestly thought it was good but definitely didn't think it would blow up as humongous as it actually did lolz 😂 every other movie of his , I always first got to see it rented from the video store up until his last film lolz so don't feel too bad because it's not like I got to see any of the early ones in theaters like some people
I liked this movie but the final scene had me cracking up. Just absolute over the top gore to the point of circling back around to hilarity. Especially because of the painfully obvious fake head they used.
You're my favorite parasite... No, wait, ringworm's my favorite parasite, you're my second-favorite parasite... I lied. Ringworm, then, rats with the plague, then you.
I liked how l combat shock tone-wise doesn’t feel like a Troma movie outside of the mutant baby puppet. I don’t know if Combat Shock is the darkest Troma movie. But it is the darkest Troma movie I have seen so far.
11:44 I feel like Fistful already had a lot of direct Japanese influence (enough that Toho sued for unlicensed adaptation of Kurosawa's Yojimbo) where you can safely call Kill Bill spaghetti w'out adding 'ramen' to the mix. Plus Tarantino has some spaghetti in his blood anyways 🤌🏻
Thank you for mentioning that. I glossed over some very important information. I really should've made this into 3 separate videos because of how dense each topic is
Loved the video and your choice of music from Zahler's film. Love Zahler's films so much, all of them and super underrated creator, I wish he could make more and more films.
Great film and great video. If you liked this film you need to check out 1996's Pretty Village Pretty Flame. It's a Yugoslav film that's very grim and depressing, set in the Bosnian War.
This one really grew on me. I found it slow and repetitive like you did, but before long I found myself wanting to watch it again and again. There was just something intriguing about it, I guess. It's thanks to this movie that I learned about Eraserhead and Taxi Driver, too.
Came for a Combat Shock review, left with a indepth understanding of what Troma films are. great stuff thanks, ill look into more troma stuff because of you
