I remember being 10 and watching this, thinking I will get rich and famous when I grow up. I will find the curly red haired actress, who because she is a child actress probably, will be working as a waitress or something, and I will sweep her off her feet. AAAAANNNND yeah Nicole Kidman...
On the subject of radio waves and walky talkies. I AM NOT SURE how it works in Australia, but in the USA, radio wave frequencies generally divide up like this. 1) Military frequencies. 2) Airline frequencies 3) telecommunications signals (phone companies) 4) radio broadcast frequencies 5) Short range frequencies Category 5 is mostly police and fire use and there are only about 9 channels available for them to use. I was a radio operator with a california park service for 4 years. Because of shared frequencies, I heard most of the fire department and police for a 20 mile radious. AND, in emergencies, we all generally switch to the same one on one channel for radio (that is still an anyone-can-tune-in-radio-wave, but it is procedure/etiquette not to eat up time on that wavelength). And, this I did not study for, the only difference between a police radio and a walky talky is power to affect range. I can remember (pre cell phone) at comic conventions, me and my friends using walky talkies to stay connected, but every time we walked near the firetrucks or cops outside the plaza, we got their signals. We were on the same wavelength, we just had shittier equipment that could not emit or recieve longer range signals. So, in this movie, yeah, I can see this radio mix up happening easily. THOUGH the director overrated the tech literacy of the audience. So it ruins suspension of disbelief by being realistic, ironically.
this is what, the second or third cross over with the NC? Are you trying to compete with the Snob to see who can have more cross over videos with him? XD
For anyone intersted Brian Trenchard Smith, the director, appears regurarly on Trailers from Hell (a show on RU-vid where directors and such like Joe Dante, Mick Garris and other discuss old movies thru their trailers). He has talked about a lot of his movies, his most recent one being about BMX bandits, where he reminisces about working with Nicole Kidman and how this lead to her next role.
The reason for the tarp is the sun is unbareably hot for 77% of the year, so the tarp acts a sunshield so you don't burn your hands on the steering wheel.
So fun fact: the John Waters references are just confusing to those who only know the celebrated Australian actor and Play School host of that name. Who isn’t gay, isn’t known for directing and is known for having a more tasteful repertoire. (Yes, John Waters and not John Hamlin)
Okay, as much fun as this movie is, that... that bank robbery planning skit you guys did? That made me laugh so hard, I had to pause the video to wipe my eyes. And I don't even know why it was so funny! Delivery is everything in comedy, I doth suspect!
:). I can't take credit for the shooting, acting, directing of that sketch, it was all Timid Jester (who did Screen Crashers on Channel Awesome) They're really talented I've written another sketch they'll be doing in my upcoming August Underground review.
Can I just say that its amazing that you get The Vaults of Extoth to do covers of the other persons theme for your crossovers!!! Here, the Cinema Snob, Linkara, a lot more that im not remembering. That's really awesome cos nobody else has done anything like that and its a really inventive touch. How do you get them to do so many covers for you?
DiamandaHagan Yes on the Merlin review, its great. I'm definitely gonna have to check them out further. It's really kickass that you've of all these different takes, its a really nice touch and no other reviewer has ever done that; massive praise for that! Thank you!!!
As one of your Australian fans - I've never heard of this film and whats sad is that as far as kids entertainment from Australia goes - this probably looks like the best we've got! This also came from the era when our film industry was at its most consistently good both in terms of commercial success AND quality (the 70's, 80's and about half the 90's, maybe) - not saying other films from later or earlier points in our industry were bad, just...those that were were films that were literally buried underneath crap ones and generally half a decade apart, if you were lucky. Just saying, if you WERE to go looking, you'd be able to find far worse movies from Australia than this. Particularly before the era I specified.
+DiamandaHagan Or OZ a 1976 rock opera thats an "Australian-ified" version of The Wizard Of Oz which has a tagline that says everything with "Take a trip down the highway with Dorothy" or the cheesier "Follow the Yellow Rock Road" and has the biggest star of the film be Bruce Spence who was Jedediah The Pilot in Beyond Thunderdome...see what I did there? Its also, obviously, not directed by Brian Trenchard Smith but it honestly looks like they were trying to go with a Ziggy Stardust fever dream, then ran out of money so they put three quarters of it in the outback (I'm using the trailer to justify that conclusion as I can't find a copy of the fucking film) - so its basically The Adventures Of Priscilla for the 1970s
When Nostalgia Critic quotes toecutter but cant handle the Australian accents ,I think In the original Australian version of Mad Max, Toecutter speaks the line "Jessy, Jessy, you've not got a sense of humor" in a Scottish accent?!?
Probably worth mentioning that the misogynystic bmx comp at the end refers to the Sydney suburb of Manly, but yeah it's a strange name for a suburb when you think of it
Wow! An amazingly small world. I've been watching the Critic for years. Today I wondered what you were up to, and here you both are! What's not to like?
5:04 And suddenly, it's the plot to either Payday, or Hotline Miami. How long until a guy wearing a letter jacket and an Owl mask carrying a rifle shows up?
"The killer from Scream isn't this incompetent. I'm not talking about the good ones. I'm talking about Scream 4 and the TV show." Implying Scream 3 is one of the good ones. That's a bold move, cotton.
+DiamandaHagan Touché. I guess I'm just still a bit sore about Doug saying the third Mad Max film was the best one. You could say I'm having trouble getting... over it.
As much as I love Mistress my favorite episodes are crossovers because I love to see her torment other reviewers. It is not only entertaining but it introduces me to new critics I have never even heard of: Magic Steve, the Rap Critic, that cute Christian guy (can't remember his name), and the Viking guy. But most of all screwing screwing with NC that is pure gold :-)
I have watched this episode going on ten times now and I still can't figure out what General Aesthetic says when he points the gun at Critic: Critic "E tu General Anesthetic from Pop Quiz Hot shots?" General: "Eh something something never stopped me from betraying someone before." What did he say I can't figure it out?
This film is a disease and my immune system has purged it from my memory. I remember even less about this than I did Reb Browns Captain America dispite watching this several times. That being said, fun review as always but I'll skip reinfection and avoid a repeat viewing. Have you seen "The Dirt Bike Kid", another staple of my youth which I remember alot more of.
23:04 ...and here I thought the "3 Ninjas" movies were silly. XD 25:54 Somewhere in England (I'd like to imagine) FilmBrain just cried out in rage without knowing exactly why. XD

I found this movie (if something is slightly less than an hour in length, does it still count as a movie) that is a CG animated retelling of the story of Joshua. The characters are supposed to be bipedal lions, but they don't look like them due to the fact the animation is worse than Reboot. Also one of the female Lions has a mane. Make of that what you will. It's all available for free on Dailymotion: www.dailymotion.com/video/xwe1to_joshua-and-the-promised-land-wmv_shortfilms?start=694#.UW1udCtvtQc
Bit of a weirdo because I did actually pause the review to watch Turbo Kid, my friend owns a copy, and I have to say holy fuck that was awesome. Thanks Hagan.
Huh? Why does even an Australian film have stereotypical accents? We don't sound like that (some sound normal, but several definitely don't, and I've lived all across the country)! I expect that from a foreign film, but an Australian one? Did they think it won't sell as well without the hammed up 'Australian' accent foreigners are used to?
Just to clarify for the Critic...... I in fact did not enjoy Fury Road. Because Max spent the whole movie being a bitch, an ass, or a generic crazy man he's never been before, and the damn movie sure didn't hammer home that there was a shortage of gas, food, or bullets in that universe. But compared to BMX Bandits, that movie was divine!
