Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: CHERRY 2000 

I love the movie Miracle Mile... but then again I have a thing for disaster, end of the world and post apocalypse movies...

I know, right? _cough _*_Idiocracy_*_ cough_ But hey, now we need _Galaxina_ to go along with this! _"Don't shoot- you might hit the lord!"_ 🤣🤣

Don't forget best villain since Sho-Nuff

Yah Sam just take one for the entire team! Find a real very attractive lady. I probably laugh about that later.🤣😂😆😅😄💀🤣😂hahahahaha

I find the bar scene as a perfect conceptualization of modern dating.

Who wouldn't?

Yep that's also not too far off from the current state of things.

Definitely a real look into the future

This comment is almost as funny as some of Brandon’s riffs. Thank you.

I've seen the ending of this movie a million times, because it was recorded before Big on a VHS tape. My parents must've gotten a free trial of HBO

@@realDonaldTrump420 *LAUGHS* This is so damn specific and accurate to how things were that I *know* you're telling the truth. Man, can you imagine trying to explain this to a twelve year old these days? Heh take care Andy, be safe

Im jelly

Boy hooks up with pre- Prime Melanie Griffith.

If been looking for it on Earth for a while and simply got lost, could you point me in the right direction @

@@lukasd.4389 Search for Three Kids Mine. It should be very recognizable.

Every time I watch it I have to replay that line 4 or 5 times. The line is funny on it's own, but the way Harry Carey Jr. says it make it hilarious.

Whenever my Grandma heard somebody say, "I wish..." she would come back with, "You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which one fills up first."

@@eduardopena5893your gramma know what’s up

@@eduardopena5893 Depending on your grandma's age, she could be of the same generation as my grandpa. He was fond of quotes like that.

Uncle Junior in the Sopranos also uses this line.

That's a great movie ... the redhead was a young Molly Ringwald ...

I always thought Peter Strauss had WAY more personality & charisma than Harrison Ford! Also, that movie made me a fan of Molly Ringwald.

​​@1down4upworkshop61 I was expecting her to show up in this, so that's at least two of us muddling the two up!

Space Hunter definitely had similar vibes to Cherry 2000.

I'd seen "Spacehunter" in 3D on the original release. As a kid circa 1983-ish it was really dope AF for the time.

i watched so many i had no clue they were small low budget studios as a kid .

@@captaintony1227 That's because they always had a way to use every last cent of the budget to make it all work.

Even though this was clearly shot on a small budget, I loved Melanie's "Mad Maxine" type character. She was cool and sexy and I really wanted that Mustang. It was as cool as Max's car. I thought it was clever how she installed an early version of lane departure warning and the car warned David Andrews that he was going to crash. Never imagined that the technology would become real one day. And let's not forget Timothy Thomerson's performance as the nutty Lester. He just ate up that role. Nobody else could have done that role as well. PS: Sadly, Pamela Gidley, who played Cherry, passed away in 2018. Her family wished for privacy and wouldn't state a cause of death. Rest in peace. I also saw her in the murder mystery True Blue and the comedy The Little Vampire.

Seeing Melanie Griffith here younger even though I grew up seeing her this way Her daughter Dakota does look alot like her and sound like her

Not all robots do. Some just run programs that emulate emotion, but those bots don't actually feel anything.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh please!!

Not yet, but give it time.

A lot of people like robot girls hehehheeh

I love lilim girls tbh

My wife (well, ex-wife now) and I tried to watch this and we're disappointed about how little of the satire landed. The movie spends way too much time trying to excuse Sam as a "romantic" rather than what we'd call him today-"an incel dweeb who's too scared of real women, so he can only fuck a robot sex slave!!" Part of the problem with this movie is that it's predicated on the idea that Sam's point of view is a reasonable one in a society where sexual harassment laws have gotten out of control. When this movie was made in the 1980s, that was a very real concern for men who never had to deal with women objecting to being objectified before. Four decades later that point of view seems bizarre, given how frequently women are still sexually preyed on by men and how seldom that leads to any accountability.

Rubber

A true cult classic. It should be given more attention...by Brandon!

Well, she is among her own kind! I think everyone at the Sky Ranch and most of the people in Glory Hole are discarded robots!

What about the Pepsi?

Yeah, the ending and the actress playing Cherry really sell the idea of a limited AI quite well. Cherry really DOESN'T have the ability to handle many tasks outside basic housekeeping and stuff like that. biggest plot hole: why was this never an issue before? how did the main guy live a life where that's all he needed?

​@marhawkman303 was Treadwells human ex girl friend actually a robot? She said some pretty dumb stuff too.

He's supposed to be doing bad movies, isn't he? Near Dark is a really good movie....in my opinion, of course.

Near Dark rules

Yeah, Near Dark is probably the best vampire movie ever made. Lance Henrikson should have won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for that role. Not sure it's appropriate for this channel.

@@llongone2 It's a really interesting move, too, where the villains are FAR more engaging than the hero. However, I think I now see the connection from the OP. Tim Thomerson is the dad in that, isn't he?

@@guyjpersonhe sometimes does good movies, if they fit certain criteria (cult, Kaiju, etc) and especially if requested by Patreon subscribers.

this is how i knew i liked red heads over blonds as a kid lol

Exactly! My first puppy love was a redhead so that didn't help things...

Yeah it is amazing how media influences us as adults, especially our "adult preferences." I watched this quite a few times as a far too young kid which explains my love of red heads. I am also very sexually attracted to giant transforming robots and girls that look like The Baroness from Cobra. The heart wants what the heart wants I suppose.

Same.

80's Conans are still my favorite soundtracks all time. So many legendary tracks.

He was so underrated. I thought he did Total Recall, too, but it was Jerry Goldsmith. I swear Goldsmith was emulating Poledouris there, at least somewhat.

Basil was a musical genius

@@scockery that main theme is right on the line of plagiarism of the main theme of *Conan the Barbarian.* I'm okay with it.

The score feels weirdly out of place.

That sounds like something that should be in a sequel to Six String Samurai.

Turbo kid was a fun watch and I laughed so hard I cried watching PG. Haven't seen Final Girls I'll have to add it to the list.🤙

"Turbo Kid" is fantastic. I tricked my brother and his wife into watching "Psycho Gore Man," hahaha!

what about *Manborg?*

He always seemed like a real down to earth guy

Beyond just the 80s. I still don't think movies, TV and video games have gotten over the Blade Runner aesthetic yet.

Yup and Jim Carrey in "Twice bitten"

I agree. I watch Ice pirates regularly. The best zany Star Wars ripoff. I think it is actually better then Spaceballs.

Ice Pirates would be a great choice! Love that film.

Damm,yea,that's when I first saw this movie back in the early 90s.

​@@thedragonlee76 Yea she was one of my crushes too ...

Whoever made that should sue Bong Joon-Ho for nicking the title

​@@iwasanangryyoungmanCharles Band, and he should.

No way. She was beautiful! Didn't know.

It was an amazing... if short role. she really sold the android angle quite well.

Not to mention the Three Kids Mine (the multi ringed pit). Been in the news lately because TPTB wanted to clean up some toxic substances there. I've been to Rhyolite and it's a hoot to visit! Makes for a great post apocalyptic setting. Funny that a little over a century ago, it was a happening town in Southern NV.

Yeah, this definitely seems like a film that warrants an updated remake.

you should. im sure it still holds up but as a young boy it was life changing to me .

unfortunately he got type casted. im surprised he was able to play this role but im glad he did.

as a kid i always loved that part

He's canadian, he's just in a perpetual state of beeing cryo preserved.

@@shinrailp1416 well now I guess I gotta move to Canada.

Just like Mark from Fanboyflick that also Canadian, bad movies are their fountain of youth

If you count the time wasted watching cable/movies rented from the video store growing up, I think I'm up to about 100,000 hours at least by this point.

They started experimenting, but there are still no AI sex bots. Which is odd, because the hardware exists, and this year's new chatbots are surprisingly versatile. And yet, the closest we had in 2017, and the closest we still have today, is talking dildos. I guess the problem could be motor control, but I thought Hiroshi Ishiguro had already solved that. It's probably because the market isn't there. Human labour is still a lot cheaper.

Don't tell me, tell your friends!

Quatermass and the Pit 👍 (movie scared the crap outta me as a kid lol)

@@bfmb4891 Right?! That scene with the grasshopper aliens bodies being dissected

It's a man and his real doll

Yeah, expect Fisto became main reason
