Jack Frost's parents named him in hopes he'd become a snowman one day. Unfortunately, he just became a lame jokster in a foam suit. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: December 13, 2011
True story: The fake snow was necessary because they tried to film it in Winter so they could get real snow, but none fell that year. They had a similar problem with the sequel where they set it on an Island in order to avoid the snow issue, and it ended up raining during most of the shoot so they had to set most of it at night.
Caligula. He also collected seashells, thinking that inconvenienced Neptune, somehow. And of course, the ever-amusing story of King Xerxes of Persia, who beat the ocean with a whip for not obeying his commands to be calm.
Lets face it, every serial killers are basically metahumans with constantly changing genetic codes. Why else does all those assholes have an inability of staying dead?
Phelous. You might not read this but I just want to say you are my favourite online reviewer and I love all of the videos you make. Thank you for making me laugh even when I didn't feel like laughing. You are amazing. Keep up the good work.
@@robertswartzer3257 he always has me in tears laughing my ass off 😂. This, the dingo pictures reviews and the thankskilling review are among my favorites.
I think the bully actually said "move it" and not "movie", or rather that's the least stupid explanation I can come up with 'cause I refuse to believe the kid's nickname is actually "movie"
Is it me or is there a consistent theme of "funny" horror movies always having a scene involving the monster raping a lady. It happened here, it happened in the turkey movie and it happened in the killer dog movie. I'm sure it happened in others too. And there are people that claim only male rape isn't taken serious. I'm pretty fucking sure its rape in general that gets treated that way at least by soulless tasteless people that think being "edgy" auto makes their writing mature and intelligent.
+Goatlactic Yeah, I hate when movies play it off that way. It's just super uncomfortable (especially watching with a group.) It's like they think as long as it's a monster, it's funny not tasteless. :/ There's lots of good horror comedies that don't do this of course. (Tucker and Dale vs Evil, Housebound, Scream, etc.)
alien bro dude guy Its unfortunately balanced out by male rape in romantic comedy films. In the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights, a guy takes an oath of celibacy, his friends then tie him to a bed and he gets banged by a prostitute. When the girl he likes sees him like this, she threatens to dump him, until he apologizes profusely for you know... being raped. Then she takes him back.
+Hamsterloki I think that is the main reason why Phelous’ “rape horn” gag is one of the only times where that kind of subject matter is able to work for a joke, in my opinion. Phelous’ gag is not intended to suggest that rape itself is ever any laughing matter, but rather to simply ridicule filmmakers who think it is a good idea to throw the serious subject of rape into their movies in such an awkward, unwarranted, and/or tasteless way. If anything, things like that gag (along with that South Park episode mocking the double-standards against female-on-male rape victims, as another example) derive their humor from attacking some of the very people responsible for rape culture and its trivialization, rather than the victims’ situations.
You know, considering the ridiculous type of explanation for Jack becoming a snowman, all his powers, his constant one-liners and puns, I think this movie would’ve been much more interesting if it had one of the twist endings of Split where instead of being a suspense thriller (or a horror comedy in this case), it turns out to be a supervillain origin story that’s an R-rated throwback to silver age superhero comic books.
I found this movie in best buy and what piqued my curiosity was the scary snowman face that Jack Frost had. Little did I know that it was false advertising.
I don't know how things are in Canada but in the U.S. if a person is yelling and in anyway being disruptive in a very public manner like being hysterical and destroying snow men for a contest yelling about a killer snow man, the cops can lock him up for disturbing the peace for a few hours to give him a chance to calm down.
See, this is why there can't be MST3K-esque one-liners in a movie that supposed to be taking itself at least a little seriously, at least not these kind of one-liners. It makes it seem like the Snowman is completely disinterested in everything going on around him. But I'll admit, "Look ma! I'm a Picasso!" was a pretty funny line.
Holy shit, phelan is like super hot. not to ripped but like that one high school teacher that lives next door to you. And washes his car with his shirt off kind of hot.
Watching him fumble those keys reminds me of those commercials where the actor pretends to be physically and mentally incapable of using (or comprehending) a common household object.
When I grew up there was always a copy of this for rental at the general store in town. I was never allowed to see it and now I can't find it anywhere :/
Themaniacnextdoor they released it on BlueRay recently. I got to meet Scott MacDonald (Voice of Jack Frost) at a horror con in my hometown. He’s a sweet guy. Had him sign my copy Jack Frost 2. :)
What's the point of making a letter with magazine letters if you're going to put your name on it? He might as well have handwritten it. That would be less work.
Wait, why did it bond with snow? There were at least a dozen different elements, such as his clothes, oxygen, hydrogen, air is made of a ton of elements.
Because if it bonded with his clothes we'd have Kill La Kill, and we can't have something good getting involved with this movie. People are people, clothing is clothing, and a shitty movie is a shitty movie.
Man, I remember seeing this and the 2nd Jack Frost horror films when ever I would go to our local video rental store. I remember kind of wanting to see them, but my older brother said they were bad (or scary?), so, to this day I still haven't seen them - though I think I saw parts of one a couple years back on TV or something.
phelous green screen effect are really good in this one. I mean, he could get rid off the complete background. And replace it with a different place. That way it can show canada with out snow, because we know there really snow 24/7
Hi, Phelous and girlfriend (Sorr, I'm actually on disability for bad memory, among other things), RiffTrax agrees with you about "Jack Frost," and decided they had to make it actually funny. Your review was fun, too. I think you do your best work when, as does the Doctor, you have someone with whom to talk about what's going on. :)
I just been to Arizona during the Christmas holidays, and there IS snow down there, mostly in the higher elevations. I actually remember seeing the VHS box to this movie in the horror section in my local video store, and the snowman on the cover sure as shit looks scarier than the one in the actual movie. 3:05- The same could also go to the Michael Keaton Jack Frost. Hell, he even joked about it in THAT movie. 5:36- No, the bullies are telling the kid to "movie" as in "move out of the way." 6:18- The kid got his head cut off buy another kid on his sled right behind him. This isn't like that edited mess in the end of Crocodile. 8:02- That was a weird use of the SpongeBob music. Before this review, I never thought I'd see the image of a snowman raping the slut from American Pie, but here it is. The snow puns in this movie are worst than the ice puns in Batman & Robin. 16:49- Even when I was a kid, I knew I shouldn't be stupid enough to put something like anti-freeze in something I was making.
That shot of the kid getting decapitated by the sled was hilarious..The camera angle was what did it. Would have been even funnier if you had edited in Goofys infamous scream (Or some other sound effect) over the part where you see the head flying in the air,lol.
I came into the review thinking it was that one kid-friendly version of Jack Frost...the cover of that one was pretty creepy. Or I remembered this movie wrong when I was like 5 XD.
