Endgame - Good Bad Flicks 

When I was a kid, my Dad had a copy of “Convoy” on 8-track in our gigantic metallic-green Plymouth station wagon. It was in a shoebox in the back seat, along with the 8-track of Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler”, some Fleetwood Mac, and Chuck Mangione’s “Friends And Lovers”, because we didn’t have a tape deck yet. In other words, I’m old.

I always love in these post apocalypse movies how people are fighting to the death for water, food or fertile men / women but there is an endless supply of face paint and welding equipment. I love these cheesy movies they were the staple of choices for something to grab down the video rental place when I was looking for something for the weekend.

"It's the year 2025 - oh oh" man this made me laugh so hard. Another great video, thx.

Thank you for putting the Homer Convoy song in the review. That's the quality of entertainment I expect from you, Cecil.

Running Man is arguably the superior movie due to its quality of puns

Smoked a bowl, opened RU-vid and there's a new GoodBadFlix. Life is good.

The movies poster artwork is like all games from the 80's. The covers made it look so good, but when you loaded it, it was a bunch of blocky art with beep beep sound.

"They try to bribe him with a stonesword key." Keep it up with the Elden Ring references. Put a smile on my face like that time you referenced Sen's Fortress (I don't remember in which video, but I do remember the reference).

given the director's filmography, they leap into each other's embrace. the subplot is about lovers who break up. shannon is leaving. kurt doesn't want to let him go. they go back and forth, trying to quit one another but still showing their feelings by sparing each other. hence "now we're quits." lillith isn't a love interest, and lied to shannon about kurt's intentions. but kurt really can't quit shannon, and after shannon decides to stay, kurt comes back, they embrace passionately, and they run off with the wooden gold together. oh, and life plus is blended mutant smoothie.

Every time I hear the name George Eastman .. I get so happy!

It's always a welcome treat when Cecil posts a new video. Seriously man, I love this channel. Positive fun with cheesy old movies is my jam and I dig it. Cheers, bud! Thanks for all you do!

Gold Painted Wood?! That's the true treasure of the Post Apocalypse!!!

I remember seeing a poster for this in my local convenience store here in the UK, in the very early 1980s, at the start of the home video boom. As a 10 year old, the poster blew my mind and i thought this would be the coolest most badass movie ever. i finally managed to track down a copy in the late nineties and suffice to say.... it didnt quite live up to the movie in my head

"We can't find him." "Where'd you look?" "Some alleyway." "Damn, this guy's good. Well, that's lunch!"

The elden ring reference caught me by very pleasant surprise! Keep on doing the awesome work and thank you for the video.

You didn't mention how Eastman broke that guys neck in the concrete block and him bleeding woke up the mutants. That wakes them up, not walking threw their lair. Literary walking right past sleeping mutants. I love this movie.

I remember seeing this on cable growing up in the 90s. Love the Running Man references. Also great cameo from The CineMasochist! Thanks for the video Cecil!

I hadn't realized I'd seen this movie until you got to the part about the town of blind monks. I remember enjoying it when I saw it as a teen, but then again I've always rated movies by how enjoyable they are rather than how well made they are.

As someone who loves The Running Man: it's apparently a hodge podge of a ton of movies with the novel bits (and I happen to love the novel, too) being like three to five pages used overall. Apart from Endgame there are at times shot-for-shot similarities with Das Millionenspiel (1970) and Le prix du danger (1983) (plus some inspiration from Rollerball (1975), Stalker (1979) and La vita è bella (1979). I would still argue that The Running Man easily exceeds all the primary inspirations (those before the brackets, that is) with the same basic plot. It has a unique combo of style, substance and inspiration behind it that just always clicked with me and I'm not in a minority here, since the movie became a cult classic. That said, I've never heard about Endgame before and it does, indeed, look like D'Amato's best film from that episode and an overall interesting twist on a deathmatch TV show idea. Really intrigued. Also The Running Man, Blade Runner and Akira all take place in 2019 and predicted bits and pieces of that year freaking perfectly with the former featuring what is essentially deepfake and digital editing software.

OMG! Thank you for doing this movie! It was my introduction to bad movies! Back in ‘87, a couple years before MST 3000 aired, my buddy and I (teens at the time) were rolling on the floor with laughter as we watched this and riffing the hell out of it! What a great time! LOL! That said, I watched it again on RU-vid a few years ago and it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it.

The best Endgame movie to watch.

Good shit Cecil. Bringing some heat. Love it when you and Cinemasochist collab on stuff.

Another video from the Master!! Thanks man! You ALWAYS brighten my Mondays! 😎👍

Was about to make an Endgame joke but was beaten to it.

This channel is getting more and more balls to the wall with every clip. And I absolutelty love it.

Hooray with brass knobs on! Nothing like a new GBF to cheer me up!

I can't get enough of these low budget 80's post apocalypse movies! Find a some run-down places and some leather clothes and you're halfway done. As cheesy as these 80's PA movies are, it's hard to find low budget movies these days with the appeal these had. 10 million is a low budget flick. It has some cheap CG and all this other crap, but those old flicks had all practical stuff. Explosions, air ramps, hastily assembled vehicles and costumes... Just awesome!

I love how female leads in the post apocalyptic future always look like their ready for a fashion shoot or a music video. As always, well done Cecil! Edit: Grammar

Nice to see The Cine-Masochist making a cameo

Holy shit, the Convoy gag made me choke on my drink. A+

Ahh yes, the superior Endgame...

I think endgame is the underrated gem honestly. I pre-ordered this a while ago and when I finally got to watch it I really enjoyed it. I genuinely like the Director too!

these are great. i've just recently found your channel and have been binging your videos. keep up the great work, sir!

13:18 "They try to bribe him with a stone sword key" Whelp, now I know what game you've been playing on your off time!

Yes! Love the reviews, good quality banter, thank you Cecil 🙏

great description and backstory, much appreciated

I owned it on VHS and when I saw it the first time, I actually thought "Wauw, this is actually not as terrible as I thought".

First of all, thanks for the Suspicious Minds reference. One of my favorite Elvis songs. You did a great job on the video, Cecil. This is one film I'm sorry I missed and I gotta check it out. Even that cool poster did not ring a bell. Any football fan like me would have seen that cover art in the rental store and said, "That I'm renting". I recently saw Joe D'Amato's sharksploitation film "Deep Blood" (1990). Not a great film, but it's fun to watch with friends.

6:45 never heard quits being used like that before either lol. Interestingly, we do use that term in Portugal when saying "we're even": "estamos quites". The more you know lol. Great review, man!

9:31 *yep those post apocalyptic Styrofoam landslides are known to be quite painful if not down right deadly* *...especially if you are one of the unnamed antagonist*

They toss their knives aside, embrace, and have a kiss so long they fuse into a single being who is the mutant protagonist of the sequel. Stone key and caught in a trap--I got those references :p

♫♪ "We got a great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight!" ♫♪ 🤣

I love taking lunch break and having one if your videos to watch!

That cover art gave me He-Man in the dark future vibes.🤣

"Oh, he's *that* kind of pacifist." He only kills out of personal spite? And it appears Shannon was telling Lilith to stay.

Where do you always find these gems?? Always highly entertaining! Keep it coming!! 😎👍👍👍👍👍

I like how the future has the same fashion designer as David Bowie

I wish Psychostick would custom write tunes for me. I still can't get over how badass that is to this day.

This is is honestly one of my favorites channels

Great stuff as always GB Flicks!

George Eastman still has a great head of hair in his late 70's.

"It's the year 2025! Uh-oh..." No more jinxing the timeline please! We're already way over quota!

Just imagine a crate that size full of gold. How heavy it would be... no way they would carry it like that.

I loved this movie. Thanks for the upload.

I hear you about the Nuke thing man. I'm Gen X and I remember vivid nightmares of nuclear holocaust were on regular rotation on my brain's movie player. I don't think millennials and Z can appreciate how that shit was drilled into prior generations. I remember the crawl under your desk and kiss your ass goodbye drills in school. And those horrific sirens and emergency broadcast network testing alerts! When I was little I thought every time one of those sirens or alerts sounded it was THE BIG ONE. I remember legitimately looking out the windows to see if the shockwave was on it's way. But I've always had a hyperactive and morbid imagination, and bad nerves, so maybe it was just me.

3:18 Somebody's been journeying through the Lands Between 😁

Fun and informative as usual!

Its funny. Some of the parts at the beggining of the film, like the girl hidding out from the supremacist authority forces, the guy preparing his boots, leather pants and make up to go out while watching the old TV, the dark tone,etc....reminds me a lot to the beggining of V for Vendetta

G-Fuel? Aw jeez, c'mon Cecil. Brawndo, dude. Brawndo!

6:19 Hey, I know this guy! He was in that wonderfully dumb Sinbad flick with Lou Ferrigno! :D

God....I was hoping it was NOT that Endgame!

Ah, yes! This movie is too much fun

Cecil said, “Bribe him with a stonesword key.” Hands down best channel on RU-vid. God I love this commentary gold standard.

I remember see this on Friday night I was looking for something besides war movies or cowboy movies on the tbs channel so I hope on USA channel and this was on even though they cut out some of the parts to the movie it was still a great watch and it introduced me to The apocalyptic movie genre good times

8:09 "They locate Paula Cole all tied up..." 😂🤣🤣🤪 That $hit made me squirt tea outta my nose!! 🤣😭👍

When you take a look at the running man in the future, cecil: don't forget to take a look at "das Millionenspiel" and "le prix du danger" beforehand.

i hear post apocaliptic and its an instant like, again mazing job with these videos and like i told u before u awakened my lvoe for post-apoc movies love em, thank you very much keep up the incredible videos

The Elden Ring reference is chef's kiss.

"security is tight at the cure concert." LMFAO!!!!!

Endgame is the most popular show since running man!

4:39 Suspicious Minds was his last number one hit and his comeback

Excellently insightful new film review, Cecil. of a cult post apocalyptic film, I want to watch. these type of films, are definitely my kind of thing.

The ninja put the fist in pacifist.

Your comments for this movie were one of your best, very funny. Obviously, the movie itself lends much material for jokes on its own expense, but still, very clever, very funny. I love you man.

Life Plus, it's what plants crave.

Wow! Those Italians are so good at ripping off popular American movies that they can even rip them off years before they get made.

I adore this film!!!!!

Al Cliver and Laura Gemser, as well as Joe D'Amato?.....on Goodbad flicks? Yes, please.

joe dmatos best,in my biast opinion,i love it,thanks for reviewing

Liquid Sky reference for the win! Haha!

Movie ends like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine fights Frank.

Fuck yeah, Endgame! I have an unreasonable love for this movie despite knowing it's bad. Whenever someone mentions Avengers Endgame, I always pretend they're talking about this movie instead.

"There's no other way out"... except for all of the many windows behind me on the wall.

Dude. I wish the future was something out of The Human League.

DUDE YOU PLAY DEADLANDS!!!! Super sweet. I have a group Saturday nights as well. It's so much fun and highly insane. I love it, and mainly because it's off the "Savage System" of rules. Okay back to the video.

"Not"-zi's is brilliant!

Thank God, haven't seen these in a while!

I remember renting this in the late 80s where video stores were flooded with post apocalyptic B movies were plentiful!

First off I just wanna say, excellent video as always, once again making my day, and second are you going to talk about "The Batman" on your channel?

10:58 ''The Running Man'' is a classic film I also feel this another underrated movie from this genre is the 1982 film ''Turkey Shoot'' IMHO. Another funny ass video Cecil I look forward to see you do a episode of ''Exploring The Running Man'' somtime in the future? Especially since this year it turns 35.

Extras from RAD??!!?! I'm not the only one who references that Classic?

I remember this one. One of the many movies i rented as a kid on VHS when browsing the local rental store. Don't think i've watched it since but always remember bits a pieces... the kid levitating the box car and landing it on one of the SS's head. Crunch. I think this was also the movie with the dude stuck in cement? Maybe not, feels like a scene you'd have showcased. The hero twisted his head to mercy kill him. Anyways... fun stuff.

If there's one thing both movies have in common, it's their posters with a misleading amount of spiked shoulder pads and football helmets than there are in the films.

This is the most important video on RU-vid

Good to see you're a fellow Deadlands fan, especially with Hell On Earth! Got enough Dr. Pepper?

0:43 kinda looks like the cybertruck 😂

i loved this film

...they jus run into eachother and explode.

Love the stonesword key reference!

I love "Endgame" one of D'Amatos better films.
