Phelous and Obscurus Lupa watch in horror as Mortal Foodfight! turns uglier than ever when Charlie Sheen, the Dog, gets raisin rabies and bites Hilary Duff, the cat. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: November 19, 2014
You know, parts of the story (e.g. the icons dying, neglected products sitting on the shelf for ages) probably could have worked in one of those unusually moody and dark kid's movies from the 80s. Of course, the script would have to not suck and all.
I think the sad thing about Food Fight is that there are some genuinely creative ideas somewhere underneath all this mess, it's just that the execution was BEYOND terrible.
@@fightingmedialounge519 I think the main thing they need to do first is just add some very consistent rules of how their world works. Because I think that’s the biggest problem with the movie as it’s inconsistent with how their world works.
@@gracekim25 like for example, how does daytime work? Does the food icon become their products or do they decide when they come out? And many more questions
i'm teaching a class on 3d modeling and storyboarding. this movie is gonna be in the curriculum as a serious "what not to do" checklist. also because whenever i show people this movie i grow stronger on their fear and disgust.
Seriously they just added nose doctor and gay vampire to be allegories to persecuted people in nazi Germany, which I find absolutely out of place in a kinda Toy Story like movie for kids.
My favorite product recall due to a misprint like a "freat" source of fiber is where packs of dental flosser sticks say they remove and prevent "plague".
There was even one of those storybooks with the character buttons you press to get dialogue I spotted in the back of a dollar store in Tumbler Ridge of all places
Well, at least Mister Clean came out unblemished. It all wipes off and he makes a clean getaway! Oh, I'm surprised Brad wasn't flying a Crystal Pepsi. Still love the outro.
Foodfight plushies?! What's next, Action figures of Tommy and Mark from The Room? "Thanks, Mom! It's a Lisa doll!" "Lisa comes with: no candles, no music and an ambiguously sexy dress."
+TheCactusSword Jontron review was good too, but I like this review more because Phelous, Brad and Lupa together reviewing shitty movies is awesome. :P
We had local juice factory literally make juice with blank white boxes. Big text said what juice it is, and tiny letters were saying the actual factory name, that's it. That was laziest marketing ever, and it worked, they juice stood out among the endless brand juices with samey fruit pictures on green/blue background.
I'm not gonna lie. There is a fairly large part of my brain that loves this movie. I don't know if it's ironically, or if it's a guilty pleasure or if I just have tolerance for anything that doesn't bore me. I have no idea what part of my mind likes this thing, but.... I do. God help me.
+Kayleigh Brown I wouldn't say I love it but I am very fascinated by all aspects of it. There's such a density to the amount of fail on display that's almost admirable.
Things I learned from this movie (and will have to un-learn): -Dogs can safely eat raisins (I know Dex is an anthropomorphic CGI dog, but still). -Generic brands bad, brand names good. ALWAYS!! -The bubbles in bottles of pop are actually helium. -Bats can fly even if they have no wings. - Only ugly characters are bad (most of the characters are ugly, but the bad guys are even worse). -Food explodes into pastel-colored goo on impact, no matter what kind of food it is. -Mr. Clean is a poop magnet and doesn't care about the dead. -Those tail fins on Charlie the Tuna are not really his tail fins. -Forget Bambi's mother and Mufasa, the death of a bag of chips is the saddest thing ever. T_T
+Victor Hernandez Oh boy... that dancing scene. Him bouncing around looking really uncomfortable, with the awful costumes wobbling blank faced around him.. Stuff of nightmares.
A few things I really wanted to talk about since I first saw this at Channel Awesome. 1. Sunshine's design is BLAND, apart from having cat ears (and a tail at one point) her overall look is just too average. That's not a mascot, that someones OC you find on Deviantart, actually I take that back I've seen OC's more unique looking than that. 2. And speaking of designs, Dex's outfit whenever he's doing a case also bugs me. You're telling me he's supposed to be a noir style detective? Then why the hell does he look more like a Indiana Jones knock-off? That club outfit was more appropriate. 3. Believe it or not I actually do believe the movie had potential, I doubt it would be anything the creator wanted but it would definitely be better than what we actually got. I wouldn't mind this movie being a giant product placement as long it was entertaining but unfortunately that isn't the case. If anything it's entertaining for entirely different reasons. 4. That part about products going bad if an Ike isn't around seems a bit backwards. You think without the product supporting the Ike they will cease to be.
+alucardyoici His name is Dex Dogtective, he is supposed to be a detective, that's his gimmick. If it was Indiana Bones (Nostalgia Critic joke) than there's a reason why he look like an adventurer. Brad's cat was a more convincing detective!
+Gat the Man Imma do this point-for-point: 1) I'm actually more confused about why Sunshine Goodness wasn't an anthropomorphic animal like Dex and Dan. Catgirls aren't really a thing in the States as they are in Japan, are they? 2)You know, I never really thought about that. It just got buried under everything else in the movie. 3)Eh, I dunno. The problem is that a lot of this movie's issues seem to come from Kasanoff, so this movie could've been saved by replacing him. But would any other producer see value in this and work on it? 4) Everything about this movie's universe seems backwards...although, that might just be because the filmmakers change the rules of the Ikes' world as the film goes along (that is, assuming the Mascot world ever had rules to begin with). +alucardyoici Since when does being a cereal mascot prevent you from being noirish? Hell, ignoring that, why couldn't he have a trenchcoat or something that would signify him being a detective?
+boxorak 1. Depending how you look at it the design is all wrong. If it was up to me she would be more anthropomorphic or if she was a mascot to some Japanese candy with more of a pop star look. 2. Yeah I'm surprised no one didn't point that out and I saw three different reviews for this. 3. I can see potential in a lot of things, I even thought Pixels had a lot of potential. 4. What the heck was going on with the writing process with this movie?
Gat the Man 4. I'd say "Kasanoff fucking things up", but I don't think the trainwreck that was the finished movie is entirely his fault. A good chunk of it is Kasanoff's fault, but I'd have to see the original script before passing judgement on who gets the blame for what.
"What if he had [a slogan] that geared more towards his actual product?" To be fair, "The secret's inside" refers to the fact that sometimes, a free toy or some other prize could be found inside a cereal box in order for the cereal to sell better.
I honestly would watch the movie if Phelous voiced as Dan, The Cinema Snob voiced as Dex, and Lupa as Sunshine Goodness with great humor, amazing animation, and a better storyline. Oh not to mention the Nostalgia Critic as the vampire bat and his brother as that store owner
+GrandCorsair Hell if the multiverse theory is true, there's a universe where this piece of shit is the highest grossing film of all time and won Best Picture.
Is it bad to say the idea of Dex in a more Film Noir themed animated movie with brand mascots actually sounds intriguing, based on the earlier clips? Still bizarre and super illogical, but interesting, and imaginative.
I loved Doug's review, but the triple-team here is even better Yeah, the more you think about it, the worse your head hurts What's the origin of the "WHAT?" Khan thing? I love how you guys just give in to the madness Idea: for future dumb insults in movies, edit in the "Cold Farted Itch" line. "I can show the world-" "No"
That "spilt milk" joke was so predictable I not only new they were going to say that, but I was saying no to my self over and over again begging them not to actually prove me right
Well wasn't the film auctioned off so a new writer would of been on it maybe the original writer had better ideas however I may be wrong and it could be the same actor
This movie managed to get quite a few voice acting veterans in here. Between Ed Asner as the Old Bastard & Jeff Bennett as Not-Tim-Curry, I REALLY wanna know what kind of direction (or lack thereof) they were given when recording their lines for this. Or even how they got involved in the first place. Seriously, I can't fully wrap my brain around the fact that this movie snagged Hudson & Brooklyn from GARGOYLES.
@@samflood5631 Well, since making that comment I noticed that Bennett was in MORTAL KOMBAT: JOURNEY BEGINS (you can hear a bit of Brooklyn in his Johnny Cage) so it was probably networking since Kasenoff was involved in that project too. Much as this film is terrible the voice casting of minor characters isn't that bad. Not a lot of veteran VAs get to be in feature films at all these days. I'd still love to see behind-the-scenes footage of them recording their lines cuz some of these reads are so out there.
What's odd is that the Off Brand Tim Curry character had a Christopher Walken Impression temp VA for the Investor demo reel. Could Jeff Bennett not do a Walken impression?
@@MediumRareOpinions Oh, he can. IMO, Jeff does the best & funniest Chris Walken. (ANIMANIACS & PINKY & THE BRAIN have the receipts.) My guess is they probably went with the Tim Curry voice cuz they thought it was funnier for the character.
+Arrant2294 Well Mr.Clean is the most likably character in the movie, mostly because unlike everything else in the movie Mr.Clean doesn't make you feel dirty inside.
+Arrant2294 Mr. Clean looks so much better than all of the other characters in this movie; it wouldn't surprise me if Food Fight asked all of these companies for their official character models and Proctor & Gamble was the only one that complied.
+CPFace That would explained why all the original character designs in this movie are so dreadful, I mean seriously all look like soulless ugly plastic puppets that are being control by someone who has no Idea what there doing but considering the fact this was the result of a director who pretty much told the animators to make the movie more awesome, it really not surprising why this movie is this bad.
All I can see is 'Markelropolis' in the long shots of the supermarket. Good choice of font for the sign... Oh, and the Christopher Lloyd Robot head is MASSIVE! No, seriously, look how big it is compared to his shoulders, or Leonard's head...
You know, I wonder if anyone's found any of those claw machines with Food Fight merch in them. By now those so bad they're worthless toys have to be collectable.
JTib Oh, it's far from bad, but it's a little too generic for me... Also, most of the voice acting is good, despite being odd at times. It's the plot and animation who's insufferable! But truth be told it's one of my favorite "so bad it's good" movie.
Jesus Christ! I knew this Movie was Really bad after watching Jontron & Doug's review of this movie a couple back in 2015. Hell, I even knew about the Troubled production behind it! But to find out that it had More Behind the scenes info, more Pre-animated content, and other plans after the movie was to be released! God Damn....it just goes to show that shit was bad from start to finish. Especially since the Director was on a level of Ambitiousness not any of us has Ever seen before!
AmishParadise27 (AKA: Tyler) Six months after retiring due to failing to solve his girlfriend's mysterious disappearance, an old detective returns to uncover and stop a deadly conspiracy that threatens the entire city.
+SOHR Minnesota Oh god, don't even mention Fighting Foodons. I legitimately thought it was something my brain made up for a while and I've NEVER looked it up because I feel like I value my sanity.
+Master Markus Holy shit. I thought that was a dream too. I never saw the episodes only the ad for it. I want Doug to do a Was That Real? of that weird show.
I actually saw a Dex plush at a thrift store once and almost bought it for the lols. Then I decided buying a DVD I found of Disney's Atlantis would be much better since I would actually enjoy what I got. Plus, the Dex Plush was creepy as fuck.
TBH I prefer prunes or dried cranberries to raisns (ofc this is due in large part to the fact that prunes and crasins are stored in a way that leaves them moist whereas something like sun maid is dry as a bone. Also, WHY JERRY STILLER WHY?!
@@gracekim25 Smarties are basically UK M&Ms. They are very popular in Canada, which is where Phelous is from. I’ve heard that Americans have their own chalky candy called Smarties. Those are called Rockets in Canada.
It's sad when you find out that Greg Eagles was involved in this. Why Greg? You were the greatest Cyborg Ninja ever. Rob Paulsen was okay but you were better!!
