Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: RUNAWAY 

Too true! Back in the 70's, one had to settle for Tom Skerritt, Yaphet Kotto & a killer robot in the same movie!

If you want to view Paradise

Gene Simmons appearing in a film with Jean Simmons was a missed opportunity.

Did you ever do Superman 3?

Not to mention 1980's Kirstie Alley - ROWR-OWR-ROOOWWRRRR!!!!

You know they say play what you know so I guess you could say Gene Simmons is basically just playing Gene Simmons. 😂

Just rewatched "Extract" a sleeper Mike Judge movie. Gene Simmons is a natural slimeball always.

@@richardrobbin2225 Yeah I totally forgot he was in that. It is a bit of a hidden gem. Then again most people didn't know about Idiocracy until a couple years ago too.

Now now, for all any of us know, Gene Simmons could be a very nice man in real life. Remember Peter Cushing? He played the evil Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars, and according to Carrie Fisher, he was the sweetest, kindest, gentlest man you'd ever want to meet. So much so that when she had to do scenes where she was practically spitting poison at him, she was like, "I can't do this! He's too NICE!"

@@graemesmith6721 Helped Nick Rivers in Top Secret! Killed Count Dracula (Dooku) a couple of times. Love that guy!!

Tom Selleck lived somewhere near my cousin's house near Woodstock because we saw him jog by all the time. You just can't miss that mustache, could see it coming from a mile away!!! It was confirmed to actually be Tom too.

Coincidentally also the same town where they filmed The Stuff!

I thought Selleck's boss looked familiar.

Speaking of 80s movies with robots Ramsey's Captain was also in Short Circuit

@@pappajudas9267 also in Mannequin.

I'm sad that Simmons didn't get more of a movie career. He's a lot of fun!

Wanted: dead or alive should be next.

@Th3Xp3rt I honestly hope it is!

@@michaelccozens Yeah! He was also in Trick or Treat, that's a lot of fun too - Gene SImmons is certainly good value in these low budget shockers :)

That meme just popped up informing me about the suez canal being blocked again this week. Lol.

Yeah, nobody, but _nobody,_ screws with him! Makes for a lot of lonely Saturday nights at the Harris Seminary!

Good 🧀 indeed

Frats boys are notorious for being asshats

Our brains don't finish developing until 25. For guys, this means that niceness often comes later in life.

isnt she also "die hard's wife" ?

@@2st486 No

Nice!

@@2st486 she actually looks a bit like her. Never noticed that before, but no, it's not her.

She was Richard Marx's wife tho

Me too, Mike and the bots would have ripped this cheese-fest to shreds!

La la la

Somewhere in time and space

#eyesonBreen

Tom and Crow woukd have loved the killer robots

It is also surprising how pretty good he is in most of them (and ironically he wasn't at his best in his Kiss related one).

@@vitorafmonteiro He does play some good characters for sure.

My favorite Gene role was in Wanted Dead or Alive with Rutger Hauer

Trick or Treat as well.

He was great as a sleazy lawyer in "Extract."

Tom has done better movies than this. Tom has done a lot of really great westerns, a lot of them with Sam Elliot. Tom's a really great western star and I wish he had done more westerns in his prime

@@Gregbaltzer he has that quintessential western look and demeanor like Sam Elliot. Born in the wrong era in some ways. Both awesome, both moustachioed, all man lol.

@@leewright1 I've collected all of Tom's westerns. The guy was born for that genre. I just wish he'd done a lot more like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.

High Road To China is all worth mentioning, as another really good movie for Tom Selleck.

Her Alibi is really good as well.

I don't know how long the joke about her being ugly had even been a thing, but it's weird how it shifted, much like with Michael Jackson

If he reviews The Beastmaster, then he might review Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time! That would be the best.

@@zac3278 Here's to hoping!

@@zac3278 and survival quest too.

@@zac3278 Also Beastmaster 3: The Eye of Braxus is truly awful. It's on Tubi for free.

Ain' t nothin' but a tease, my friend!

The tech was just too expensive, and specialized, for even assassination attempts as you needed a specialized gun that couldn’t fire any regular type of ammo. It’s kinda like the 1 million dollar guided mortar round, cool to have, but way too expensive to even train with.

Interesting, thanks! Though unless the course-correction was automatic (which would seem to remove the need for the sniper in the first place, or at least move in that direction), it's hard to imagine how this would operate. Would the spotter need to evaluate and make corrections in the short time between firing and impact? Would the bullet be wire-guided? TOWs work because at their typical effective combat range and projectile speed, you do have lots of time to course-correct, whereas a sniper's bullet travels at approximately 3x the speed with about the same max range (using the max loaded .50 cal round as the most charitable example). Also, snipers already work with incredibly-complex ballistic equations to make their shots. Adding in a guidance system seems like it might make things harder, not easier. It would have to be super user-friendly, one might think.

@@michaelccozens they compromised by developing calculators for long distance rifleman to make the multimile shots when paired with the right high caliber ammo. The .38 lapua comes with its bespoke calculator just for that purpose.

Absolutely!

They can if you fling your arm fast enough while shooting.

He has a Revolver Ocelot gun!!

DARPA actually has bullets that are basically that now.

OMG! You posted this a day ago! Are you a time traveler?

"hey the frikkin robospiders movie is on!"

@@Invidente7 Nope, just had early access to the video through Patreon.

@@2st486 LOL Pretty much.

I feel like Beastmaster should be a milestone. It is pretty special at least to my friends and I.

awww i knew it! awesome ^_^

He was also the corporate security chief in 'Short Circuit'.

I wondered that too.

Proctooor!!!

I'd think this movie would be the easiest to Google search for. "Tom Selleck+Gene Simmons sci fi movie". What the hell Google, stop giving me "no time to die"! That's not it!

@@dragonsword7370 My issue... I didn't remember it was a Tom Selleck film. I could only describe some events from the film. 😔

Who got it from the Deadites. 🤣

I heard he got his magic bullets after getting stabbed by a golden arrow while listening to the Sex Pistols

She was also the dancer that gets pregnant in Dirty Dancing and mentions having been a dancer in Runaway for no reason at all. Serious type casting I guess.

His hairstyle, too! :D

Those spiders could've also been The Tall Man's creations.

I'm surprised that Brandon didn't make any Flight of the Navigator references in this episode due to the kid... oh well. Still a funny episode.

I was surprised he didn't reference that movie.

@Zoomer Waffen Quantum Leap?

@@CorbCorbin----r/wooosh

Even more fucked up future in reality. He made no more movies and Joey Cramer ended up a drug addict and in jail for connection with bank robbery.

Feels like a pre RoboCop prequel.

​​​​@@BentoBoxBobbyTV sorry for being autistic but isn't "pre-prequel" technically an impossible thing? A "prequel" is something that was made AFTER something, and tells a story set in time before the original work was. You can't make a prequel FIRST, it's just the "first part" in such case... I think the word you were looking for is "a prototype"..? Or, what's more probable: you were making a joke that I autistically let go over my head 😂

​@@ELEKTROSKANSEN yeah, i am pretty sure what was meant was that it feels like a prequel to robocop but actually came out before, although that might seem obvious 😅

That was actually a GOOD movie.

You beat me to it. But yeah, go for the Demon Hat Trick by doing Wanted!

@@ricosuave6898 unless you'Re a patreon you don't exist to Brandon. He had stated he wil not cobsidet requests from. Non patreons....

@@barackclinton568 ---Oohlala! Brandon's getting the big head now he's all famous, huh?

@@barackclinton568 That's okay, I know what it's like to have actual problems so if that's the worst thing that happens to me today, I should be fine.

Do many people remember that? Christ, we're old.

Lol some people and their silly ancient tech. Had an Amiga 600 myself...

@@Emulous79 I don't know. Those graphics seem pretty "cutting edge" for that game system (said as someone who owned it at some point). And yes, we are. Let's celebrate that fact? ;)

Meanwhile, my i9 processor and Nvidia GTX2080 is running smoothly....as I emulate DosBox

Time to bust out "Shadow of the Beast" and it's awesome David Whitaker soundtrack.

Nah, that was High Road to China from 1983. It's not that great of a movie, especially considering they didn't really adapt the novel properly at all which is much better.

@@alucard624 Was that the one with Bess Armstrong? Yeah, I thought of that after I wrote this.

Selleck's first lead role was in 1972's Daughters Of Satan, a horror film made in The Philippines. Selleck was around for quite a while before finding stardom on Magnum PI.

The Wild Guys,he played Stewart freaking hilarious role.

Tom Green cast him in Freddy Got Fingered because he loved The Beachcombers growing up. I'd ask Brandon to review that one except he hasn't run over my dog or stolen my girlfriend or anything like that yet.

Andrew you have great taste in actors, and yes I did over 450 TV episodes and 3 weren't cops :) thanks for the shout out.

@@TSpringsBC wow! You are a Canadian treasure. You better get a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame someday.

@@knowknaime Only if I moved to the U.S. :)

The Twentieth Anniversary of America Not Learning a Goddamned Thing. It's not a happy occasion.

I looked up the synopsis of Looker and was like, "What the hell am I reading?"

SHE DIDNT WANT TO GET TYPE CASTED....LMAO! I guess playing a dead pan vulcan was jusssst right.

Should have shot her agent with a phaser.

"PROCTOR!"

Sounded accurate to me! As long he’s not doing a news gig on NBC, Brandon should be safe!

Sure it did.

It played EVERYWHERE. I saw it on HBO first though. Damn, that was forever ago...

Sex pistols?

@@smcrevival1467 No, that's Part 5. The Emperor is a gun stand, which has its bullets practically targets its enemies, and that's from Part 3.

Omg ... Jojo reference

Yea this movie seemed decent especially compared to some other cult classics.

Lego Technic! Ah ah!

There's a similar scene with Susan Dey in Chrichton's other movie, Looker. Definitely worth checking out.

Sure. Why haven't you stopped into the gap caused by his passing since it is so easy?

There are more transferable skills than you would think.

Facts.

Rule 34 states that there is now art of you looking R34 up...
