The airlock scene, freakin' priceless. Had me rolling. I can hear the old line about how NASA have contingencies for their contingencies, and safeties backing up their safeties. But nope, these bozos have a rocket with an exposed elevator call button that could outgas the whole tub into the vacuum. Way to go. And the reactions of the characters is the cherry on top.
Funnily enough, the uncovered button and disappearing gravity not withstanding, it was the most realistic scene in the movie. If you vent a room full of air in to space, all you'd feel is a gust of wind no stronger than on a windy day. It doesn't magically transform in to a hurricane. Being sucked out is one of my pet peeves in scifi movies 🙄
I accidentally bump into my wall mounted fire/Co2 alarm all the time. So with my luck I'd bump into that "kill everyone in the elevator" button pretty soon after being on that spaceship.
I'm old (younger than this movie), but I do know hay rides are a typical attraction in county fairs. It's literally riding on a trailer with hay, being pulled by a tractor, usually through a themed track. The adult is riding the tractor, usually with little to no visibility of the trailer inhabitants. The stereotype is that people ride it have private time with crushes/dates and make out. Not sure if that's still a thing though
The temperature on Venus is +464 degrees Celsius or +867 degrees Fahrenheit, the atmosphere pressure is 92 bar or 1350 psi, and it rains sulphuric acid. Welcome to Venus.
You did an amazing job with the greenscreen work for this vid. Making yourself fit into a black-and-white movie is one thing. But making yourself fit into a 1960s color movie with soft, muddy footage is much much harder. Fantastic work.
Dear Mark, it was my dream to convince young people of the 21st century how cool the 1960's were. Now this horrible movie has turned my dream into just another bowl of egg salad. Well, guess I'll just put a chair on the front porch and yell at the neighborhood kids to stay off my lawn. Thank you verrry much, Mark!
Dude I could’ve told you that without watching this review. Maybe the 1960s were a cool time for straight white cis people. But black people were still trying to fight for civil rights and many of the bills that got passed were done because the entire country was rioting. You could be arrested for consensual same-sex relationships (unless it was between a minor and adult that’s illegal no matter if it’s straight or gay.) You could be arrested for taking part in drag or men just wearing non-masculine clothing. Homosexuality was still considered a mental illness. Women were dying from illegal abortions. Lower income teenagers who couldn’t afford to go to college were drafted into a pointless war that damaged a lot of innocent people. But hey, at least the sixties music was good and Audrey Hepburn… Look, I like learning about history, but I wouldn’t want to live in that past because I know it wouldn’t be able to accommodate me. I am on the autism spectrum, I am bi or pan. I like learning about people who don’t look like me (white woman). If I wanted to go back in time to the 1960s, I’d want to just be an observer rather stay for any longer than I need to. Maybe figure out certain aspects of a culture that’s not talked about in this time period.
@@carsfan1995Firstly, There's no such thing as 'cis'. There is male and female, that's it. Also, you just gave a reason why the 60s were shit for white, straight women too... Honestly shit of you to suggest life wasn't pretty crap for alot of women. Just look at all the sexism and misogyny in this movie alone.
@@carsfan1995fair points no doubt. I agree if you were the exact right demographic then I bet the 60s were great, for people outside of those, or who don't swallow rhetoric hook, line, and sinker.... Not so much.
I wonder if movies thought Venus would be a good planet to explore because it is a similar size to Earth, but they didn't know about the deadly atmosphere and temperatures.
Either the filmmakers didn't know better or they took extreme liberties when depicting Venus 'cause in 1956 scientists found out that the temperature on Venus was 327°C. And not later than 1967 they knew about the deadly atmosphere.
That's exactly it. I'm sure the scientific community knew it didn't work that way, but those were the days before google and the internet. Most people just knew it had an atmosphere we could not see though, and the surface was a mystery.
As a part time video editor (and foley artist) your compositing at the conference while they call recception was DAMNEDD GOOD! Like SO SOLID! The lighting is spot on, youdegraded the footage just right, you added a proper shadow in the back. The one thing I noticed is that you didn't clone out one pf the mics fropm the background. There is also a small bit of halloing around the mics from your masking but man. I was so suprised when you "walked on stage".
Ah yeah there’s a problem where the background plate was slightly shifted so part of the mics in the in background. Can’t believe I didn’t notice that during editing! Thanks for the comment!
@@FanboyFlicks im kind of glad these movies that ill never ever watch are out there in the aether for you, just to see your reaction vids haha. Gosh, this one was a new level of truly awful and you made the humour extra good as a result too. Bless ya pal, you are hilarious.
@dragchute86 I recently discovered Tubi ... a legit, ad supported free streaming service. They have a lot of BAD movies like stuff from Polonia Bros and the full "Full Moon" collection. I recently watched Amitiville in Space and Sharkula. LOL.
Mark, if I had to pick, I'd always go for the "too cold" planet over the "too hot" planet; you can always add layers or do some pushups to warm up, but you can't peel your skin off to get any cooler. ;)
Hey mark, love when you are in the movie with VFX. You really stepped it up with quality. That being said, next time u do it can you go the extra mile and degrade your audio quality to match the movie's audio quality?
Thank you for the hard work you do for us, for the boring and bad and weird movies you force yourself to watch for us, thanks for entertaining us and giving us this comedy gold all the time!
As always, Mark nailed it! If you happen to read this, can you please review Ratboy from the 80's? I don't know who the movie was made for, or how it even got made (I imagine since it was 80's a lot of nose powder was involved, lol). I tried to explain the movie to a younger friend, but the more I spoke and the more details I added, the more certain I became that my friend thought I was a rambling lunatic
A little too cold is preferable to a little too hot. You can always put on extra layers if it's too cold. Once you strip naked and you're still overheating, then what?
Cinematic Titanic, one of the ventures by former MST3K cast did a great riff of this, worth checking out. I had actually seen this movie un-riffed before then, and yes, the ending scene where two people in bulky spacesuits with different voices push buttons for several agonizing minutes (or rather one spacesuit pushed buttons while the other JUST STANDS THERE) is truly baffling.
Mark has gotten so much better at inserting himself into the film scenes that when he (disconcertingly) transformed into the woman, I snuffled my Martini right up my nose.
Various people have noted that if one is dressed as some sort of repair or construction or remodeling person, perhaps in high-visibility clothing, one can go nearly anywhere in a building unchallenged. Maybe in some situations a lab coat suffices? I was expecting a “What’s Up, Tiger Lily?” reference with the egg salad and all.
Fuck fact, the reason they were obsessed with Venus was because for a really long time, like until the later 1900s, people didn't know what was under the clouds of Venus, and a lot of people proposed it could be habitable.
always a great video. love the "self inserts"... :D and YES i would choose Mars being a bit chilly to Venus where acid rain and hurricane winds would vaporise me in about 2 minutes.
The Soviet Union sent unmanned space probes to Venus. The longest-surviving one lasted about an hour or two. The atmosphere of Venus is so dense and corrosive that people could not survive there. However, people could possibly reside in an orbiting space station of Venus.
A little to cold, after living in Oregon, which is a little to cold, and Florida, which is a little to hot, i think it is easier to warm up than to cool off. Just as long as the cold place has some sunlight, unlike Oregon.
The International Space Station uses a lot of homemade water! Most of it used to be part of human urine, I believe. The brunette who likes homemade water is cute, but the nerd-girl glasses add a dorky charm to the blonde.
Thank you Mark for choosing to spend your time to make these reviews, I don't think i will ever get bored of them.. I have been watching them on repeat for quite sometime
A minute and a half in and I'm already cracking up 🤣 I like the noise over the opening crawl, but I have a bizarre taste in music. Your edits into the movie were hilarious. Absolutely brilliant work all around, Mark! As for the planets: Probably a little too cold, because you can always add more layers on, but you can only take so many layers off.
I just realised. If you pause at 9:28 you'll get a good picture of him, but I think he was the guy who played the Reverend who got hit by lightning in Caddyshack. I'll check that. He was the Bishop. I made the mistake of calling him Reverend as I think someone called him that in Caddyshack, but yes, he was the one who got struck by lightning in Caddyshack. That could be a useful piece of trivia that could help you in some quiz 😂
I would rather go to a planet that is s little to hot, because I am sure that all of the sexy humanoid women there would be wearing bikinis. And of course they would be happy to see human males :P
There WAS a completely valid reason why Venus was the focus of so much interest in the first half of the 20th century. At the time we didn't know it was a superheated nightmare, so we were focused on the most important fact concerning Venus; that it rhymes with Penis. NASA's focus shifted after learning about the greenhouse gasses gone wild on Venus, so they focused completely on Uranus. After that NASA spent every waking moment completely focused on Uranus. Eventually NASA would deeply penetrate the mystery of Uranus by probing it non-stop until Uranus gave up all the secrets if had clinched onto so long. After blowing Uranus wide open and getting to know every square inch of it's enigmatic surface, NASA is currently planning to shoot a payload directly into Uranus. This would allow us to see what may be hidden deep inside, under the crust of Uranus. There may be semi-liquid masses containing life held under immense pressure that could erupt from Uranus that could cover the surface and create quite the mess.
Running out of money while making your movie not a good sign even though on occasions they can work sort of like the ending of Monty Python and the Holy Grail
1:36 real cat lol I don';t think everyone realizes that Mark has to watch the movie first, then get a rough script idea, joke ideas, then watch it again once he knows he can do something wiht it. Then begin editing and watching over and over. Spending HOURS with a shit movie so we can be entertained for 24:17. Appreciate ya Mark
So you'll probably never see this Mark but I'm gonna post anyway. I found your channel about 2 1/2 months ago only to find you've been creating this content for over a decade!! My girl and I absolutely love your content and enjoy all your uploads! Anyways, at least I have 10 years worth of binging these awful yet awesome movies lol....keep doing what you do my friend! Absolutely love it!!❤
I watched this movie. I fell asleep half way through. I was half asleep at the end and had a lucid nightmare with the movie as a background. Disturbing.
2:18 Give her some slack Mark she DID go to the Hitman Video Game Academy of Stealthy Infiltration, or more commonly known as the HVGASI! Once you wear a lab coat you are completely shielded from recognition and harm, it’s a scientific fact! #TheMoreYouKnow 🌈

Regarding the airlock thing, maybe the movie's portraying what would actually happen. I don't think (but I'm not sure) you would get sucked out like that, because deep space is a vacuum, meaning there's no wind or anything that would cause the "suckage" - there's no air like that, so maybe they really would just float where they are and suffocate. Though I'm not sure how pressurization would affect it - does deep space have similar pressure to the ocean, or something? I would think there's no pressure at all, or very little.
Hmm. I think I’d rather be on a planet that’s a little too cold because I’ve lived in Arizona, southern Arizona... my entire life, and it’s hot as fuck 10 out of the 12 months.. and you can only do so much about the heat as in removing layers of clothing, you can only be so naked. But you can layer up a bunch for the kinda cold...,
Cold planet, no question. There's a million and one ways to heat yourself up and they are all rather enjoyable experiences too. Sitting by the heater. Wrapping yourself in a blanket. Etc. Nothing fun about sweating it out.
3 women and 4 men are a terrible idea for repopulation. You'd need at least 500 mated couples and another ship with an extra 1,000 people just in case someone dies before breeding, has bad genes, or the first ship falls to anarchy.
I guess they are going for the men are from Mars and women are from Venus. The 60's also had very definite ideas what space women look like. The men in the various space agencies were not thinking with their brains.
Maybe the "hayride" thing is referring to a "roll in the hay," AKA sex. Maybe both sayings were used at some point, and one remained well-known while the other fell out of use.
To answer your question about Venus, it's because Venus is sometimes considered our sister planet. It's a similar size to Earth and was once believed it could be the closest planet to Earth before we discovered more about it.
