Fun fact, vampires not reflecting in mirrors was based on silver backed mirrors in folklore, hence they can have a reflection in pools of water and windows and non silver backed mirrors
I have to say, I started to really worry for Jordan when he started attacking his crotch with a couple wrenches, but then I remembered he's a professional doctor so he's got experience.
I love the first underworld movie, that scene where Lucian screams "You're acting like a pack of rabbid DOGS!" made me fall in love with Michael Sheen. His delivery of that line is just so perfect, gives me goosebumps every time
The creators of this movie were sued by White Wolf (creators of Vampire the Masquerade) because they pretty much stole their entire world from the tabletop rpg. White Wolf got paid.
I thought I'd seen the last of these, to be surprised by the combo of vampire, werewolf, and whatever mythical race Jordan Breeding left behind to save Cracked's youtube channel is a gift.
My wife is going to be so happy to see another one from you Jordan. We are definitely going to watch it tonight during dinner. Your awesome Jordan and crew! These are our favorite! Edit: When I told her she said "finally another one! I have been waiting forever, please tell me its star wars" I said no then she said "well he needs to get on that tell him"...so here i am lol.
My personal head canon is that the leather pants bit started as a joke, but then Jordan actually couldn’t take them off, so he begrudgingly had the camera man cut him out of them. I don’t care what really happened, I’ve made up my mind, don’t try to confuse me with the facts.
@@cracked Fucking... knew it. It was that final tug at end where I was like “ oh yeah that man is trapped. God forbid he needs to take shit before the end of the shoot because that would be very problematic.”
I just spent 4 hours in the dentist chair & this is the most perfect thing I can imagine to help me decompress. THANK YOU Jordan for your tireless semi thankless work. This timing is impeccable!
Seriously. I miss the after hours crew, but i have Cody's Showdy, small beans, and you can just TELL when Dan O'Brian wrote a joke for John Oliver, to see the growth of the old crew. Let Jordan be great. It's a new, covid riddled, era, and an unhinged faux doctor fits the bill.
I’m not sure how I feel about the fact that I enjoy these re-caps to the series’ being summarized more than the series’ themselves. On second thought, I do know, I love it.
It's been a while since I saw those movies, and I had even managed to make myself forget there was so many of them. Good God, did I also manage to forget just how many plot holes were in them all. Oh well, they were fun the first time round I watched them, though I doubt as entertaining than the last hour and twenty minutes has been. Good job as always.
Eve is special because she has wolf, human, vampire and Corvinus blood in her. Selene drank old man immortal guys blood in the second movie. He wasn't a vampire or Werewolf, just an immortal. Eve got his blood through Selene.
Not exactly, Eve was already a descendant of Corvinus from her father Michael. She also didn't need Corvinus blood because all the advantages she already had being a hybrid.
Genuinely, the first film is kind of great (wonky hallway lycan fight CGI aside). My only complaint being that I wish that the vampires had been more...vampire like and actually used their teeth and claws as weapons as opposed to just throwing away bullets like candy, but hay, early 00's film. So whatever. It's still the unequivocal high point (which is really sad since that was only the start) of the franchise. Evolution was a pretty good action romp (and it gave us gamers the vampire archetype for the vamp lord in Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, so there's that) and Rise of the Lycans was...passable. It helped expand the lore a bit and was still interesting from that perspective. Everything after that is an absolute dumpster fire. INCLUDING the short-lived Endless War anime (which you neglected to mention soooooo by all rights, you should really be stuck in those tight pants for all eternity.🤣) FUN FACT(S): Kevin Grevioux is the name of the crazy voiced Black guy. He has a degree in microbiology with minors in both chemistry and psychology from Howard University along with a master's degree in genetic engineering...which he doesn't use AT ALL. Instead deciding to write comic books and spec scripts, open a graphic novel company called Darkstorm Comic Studios and he actually co-wrote the first Underworld film along with starring in it.
Finally a new one of these. Watching Jordon for a straight hour talk about a franchise I have never seen is like totally my thing now 😜 Also Jordon, what’s with the tash? Only people allowed to have a tash are firefighters and 70’s porn stars 😂
UV rounds don't matter to Selene because the old Corvinus' blood made her resistant to the sun. Always loved this series. Werewolves are my favorite monster and these films are some of my favorite portrayals. It's so cheesy though.😂 Btw, that black guy with the deep voice also created Underworld.
This episode made me remember the show Wilfred and I went down a crazy rabbit hole and I am now a Wilfred expert. Did you know Elijah Wood was in Back to the Future 2?
Holy crap damn man. I had to pause the video to say the line about the lead singer to creed. I swear I say that to my girl all the time. I'm dying. Damn it Jordan you got me. I love these. Took you long enough to make a new one.
23:25 😂😂😂 i woke up my daughter by laughing at this so loud. Ive watched this twice today but I was doing other stuff so im actually sitting down to watch this, and I missed soo much the first time 😅😅😂
During the section of "Awakening," you keep making comments (albeit, still funny comments) about UV bullets not existing anymore each time Kate Beckinsale is shot; You forgot that in the recap of "The Rise Of The Lycans," she becomes immune to sunlight.
@@cracked even if they were, they wouldn't have worked on david either, in awakening when she pumped his heart to revive him she also pumped her blood in him. so he was already immune than
Thank you for this deep analysis of Gene Roddenberry's "The Bauhaus: Bela Lugosi's Dead." I did not know there was so much confusion in the studio during the crafting of this timeless masterpiece.
The mirror thing is in reference to renaissance era mirrors being backed in silver which is a symbol of purity. Now they are backed in aluminum which back then was worth more then gold.
What's really funny is that I recently watched two of the Underworld movies, the first one (obviously) and then I literally can't remember which one was number two despite it being only like a month ago and this video STILL does not help me remember which one I watched
Dr. Breeding, A few things. One, excellent work, as always. Don’t act like you aren’t wearing those leather pants when you’re going out and about town! Two, can I have a vial of your blood? Not for anything weird! Three, these are honestly the highlight of my weeks. What’s next? Friday the 13th? Harry Potter? Alien? Predator? Alien v. Predator?!
@@cracked I remember your aside one the Nightmare on Elm Street one where the script was over 100k words. I appreciate your dedication to this excellent series, sir.
@@cracked hyperbole is an essential part of storytelling, Dr. Breeding! You gotta inflate the number! But yeah, 25 k is a lot. You’re a gosh darned warrior.
Jordan has saved me so much time and energy by breaking down all of these series that I had no intention of watching (Except the Matrix, I'm not a fuckin heathen). Thank you for service, sir.
I haven’t really been watching the new Cracked stuff. I’m only now realizing you’ve been running the show for two years now. It still doesn’t totally feel like old Cracked, I miss After Hours, OPCD, Hilarious Helmet History, and Escort Mission. But I’m glad you’re keeping the channel alive, and I’m glad I can watch the new stuff and still go back and enjoy all the old stuff too.
Jesus. Even I'm not cruel enough to suggest this. Demonic Toys, Ghoulies or Hellraiser would have been far less cruel. To whomever made him do this, Bravo! Jordan's suffering is nourishing like nothing else :D
Funny that you mention "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". As long as franchises continue, you could perpetually be held hostage forever explaining them to us. Like some sort of man of Constant Sorrow.
