Clint Howard kills people and puts them in Ice Cream. He also gives people Ice Cream with bugs and eyeballs in it. Just something he does. phelous.com / phelous
Let's face it, ice cream is ruined. This movie is a guilty "so bad it's good" pleasure for me. Clint Howard is always so enthusiastic and humble, it's hard to hate the man. Hell, he's the reason the MTV Movie Awards killed off their "Lifetime Achievement Award" because when Clint won, he was legitimately touched by it and treated it like an Oscar.
I wish I could find a clip of this. I love clint howard. Hes an underrated gem who gets overshadowed too much by his brother Ron. They both do great things in different mediums and genres.
I remember Clint Howard getting the lifetime achievement award at the MTV movie awards one year. His brother Ron was actually in the audience and looked so happy for him, it was awesome. And wait, did I see Doug Llewellyn's name in the opening credits? As in, the announcer from The People's Court?
The fact that Ron and Clint stick together is really astounding, considering they have massively different political ideologies. It's really heartwarming.
Even so, if I am in the mood to see tragic drama, black comedy, and gory gothic horror combined all together into a well done story about an insane man killing people and turning them into food, I'd just be satisfied watching Stephen Sondheim's play, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," and its film adaptation by Tim Burton.
They had the resources for some pretty decent head props, but not enough foresight to hire an actual fat kid to play a fat kid. Still seems like such a goofy fun movie.
This is the perfect way to do an intentionally cheesy horror film: you keep the world around them mostly normal. That way, their over-the-top killings stand out a lot more. It also helps when the killer has a serious demeanor, yet kills in ridiculous ways.
There _was_ an episode of _R.L Stine’s The Haunting Hour_ about something similar. It was about this supernatural ice cream truck who drives around the streets at night, hoping to trap kids inside it. The main character in that episode was played by Robert Capron, best known for playing Rowley in the _Diary Of A Wimpy Kid_ movies.
fun fact Phelous in the mid 80's in the East End of Glasgow a turf war called (The Ice-Cream Wars) erupted between ice-cream men which involved intimidation selling drugs and the arson of a rival ice-cream mans family the Strathclyde police department setup a special unit to tackle the ice-cream troubles nickamed 'the special chimes squad',
He really does. He is just the epitome of fun character actor. There's a really fun fanmade documentary - it used to be called No Small Parts - and he just seems so kind and enthusiastic about every piece of work he does, regardless of its quality. Just an affable dude all around.
You should watch Evilspeak, it's another silly horror film, but he plays the lead role AND as a sympathetic character for a change. He's a lot like Joe Estevez, he always makes the best of the parts he's given (and honestly deserves way more credit for it!)
17:56 - It's pretty amazing that so many horror movies, epsecially modern ones, fail to make even their heroes likeable when *_Ice Cream Man_* managed to make _the ice cream-themed serial killer_ relatable.
If only he turned the protagonists from Cabin fever, The Hostel triolgy, Five across the eyes, Seventh moon, and unfriended into ice cream, it would of been worth it!
Good god this was hysterical! The ice cream head made me burst out laughing, even though the cover image for this video gave it away. I also have more respect for Clint Howard--not that I didn't respect him before, but I never noticed what a great actor he is. He's a totally ordinary guy outside the movie, but makes himself so hideous and hilariously creepy. I also love when you movie reviewers don't hide your delight for these hilariously bad movies.
2:10 Xion, who else will I have Ice Cream with? Fun Fact: Clint Howard was also the voice of Roo from the first two Winnie The Pooh shorts (The Honey Tree, a Blustery Day) and the voice of Colonel Hathi's son Hathi jr in the Jungle Book
I don't usually post without watching, but just wanted to say: Thank you so much, Phelous! It's been a real rough day and I really needed a laugh. Nothing went wrong or anything, just worked too hard and needed to relax. So, thanks again, man. You're awesome, please keep making videos.
I never had an ice cream man in my neighborhood that sold ice cream by the cone. It was always prepackaged. I'm pretty sure they do that now for a reason. Food trucks are gross.
Me and a friend rented a movie years ago, and the case accidentally had two DVDs in there. The one we didn't actually rent was Ice Cream Man. So it did really happen...
Even if it is a shitty horror movie, Clint Howard in Ice Cream Man 2 sounds like a good time. It couldnt be any worse than the Internet Horror movies, Ginger Deadman movies or Wrong Turn sequels.
Kurt Denter This is the first Phelous review in 2017! And it's a horror movie! Well I guess Friend Request was so stupid that we Phelan needed a more enjoyable horror movie to cool off!
If you're hungry for just desserts and sweet revenge, this movie is cold comfort and it will send chills up your spine. Try to be a cool customer with this ice cream man, and he'll put you on ice. If you leave a bad taste in his mouth, you're licked.
I only watched this because when I was in grade 6 everyone on my school bus used to annoy the bus driver by singing a version of Ozzy's "Iron Man" but went "I am Ice Cream Man, running over fat kids with my van" I didn't know that Clint Howard was the intelligent being in the Corbonite Maneuver
"urrrrp....throw him in the ice cream machine, Morty! It's the only way!" "uhhhh, rick! I don't think this is a good idea anymore!" "Shut up and throw him in, Morty!"
I liked the joke about the cd player. The whole "You kids today know shit about what we had" joke really has been run through the ground, so that felt fresh.
Would a review of the Killjoy movies ever be possible? I marathoned them all the other day and I'm super bothered no one talks about how weird they are
Still better than "the bye bye man" (actual title by the way) i know it hasn't come out yet but already it's kinda hard to take something with such a childish name seriously.
Jan Michael Vincent shouting at the inmates like they're community theater haunted house volunteers really shows how much bad movies needed ANY name actor back in the day.
The sad thing is that the plot of a scary ice-cream man was already done and quite successfully with Junji Ito. There, the ice-cream man is a handsome fellow who comes by neighbourhoods and is well-known. The kids are practically addicted to his ice-cream, he's praised by the ladies for his looks, and several times, he allows a couple of kids in his van and he drives them around as they eat ice-cream. A single father and his child move into the neighbourhood recently, and at first, the father is suspicious and unsure about the ice-cream man and so, he says no when the kid wants ice-cream. His kid, being a snot-nosed little brat who was spoiled by the mother, throws a tantrum until finally, the father relents. I won't spoil what happens next, but let's just say it really is horrific. Junji Ito is a master of horror, though, so it's no surprise his work is vastly superior to this. Even then, still looks like this is a guilty pleasure "So Bad, It's Good" kind of film.
