+Dr. Disrespect While I understand it's joking, personally I think there are far worse directors out there than Bay. Like Paul W.S. Anderson for instance.
I know right, and have the devil be some old lady that gets killed off second, and is seen in front of working security cameras. But I'm sure that no one would be that stupid to even put that on paper! That would be absolutely fucking retarted...
Amazing! You just showed how somebody could make a worse version of this movie! The Devil will reward you! (And Shyamalan, for bringing so much evil to earth...)
So Arnold saves the day by committing the single worst sin in Catholicism, the one sin that can never be forgiven, IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH. Nobody caught that during the entire process of creating this film?
Chandra Napier Good question! Catholicism is pretty strict on this one though...it's the one unforgivable sin. And based on the fact that the Vatican was trying to murder her to prevent the coming of Satan, I'm going to hazard a guess, and that guess is: Yes. He went to Hell. The savior of the universe is even now screaming in inconceivable agony.
hal900x But... The Vatican kept failing at that. Arnold ended up doing what several other men couldn't. O : He still did the world of God. ... Thinking way to far into this now XD
Colt Mccoy I think a dude who used to be an angel, has a near nonexistant kill record compared to God, and punishes wrongdoers sounds like an interesting character for fiction. Plus, I'm being deliberately sacrilegious because I love messing with popular interpretations of history and scripture.
Brendan Kress>Creates Eve from Adam's rib. >But has to rape St. Joseph's wife to impregnate her with an infant version of himself. >Stupid people murder each-other for millennia. >Shrek is Love, >Shrek is Life.
Distracted Globe Productions makes you wonder if Satan and Yahweh are the same character. Also is Yahweh the creator of good and evil so what is Satan's purpose?
But wait. If the numbers are upside down and backwards it would have no meaning because it's originally in Greek χξϛ. But hey, let's assume John thought in Roman numerals, DCLXVI, I still can't do that upside down and backwards.
Also, in the chrisitan bible this :"evil" satan is just following god the whole time, and eventually his kill toll only adds up to a few people. God on the other hand? Ah, just a few MILLION. So much for our morals being based on these books.
Well mostly God destroyed the ones who followed satan's ways.....I think the devil kills people's spirits and souls....temptations, trials,all kinds of cunning tricks. I think he hyptonizes people in doing someone something that will destroy your entire life...ex Adam and Eve, David, Solomon, and many others...it's also quite interesting how he communicates with God in Job...they don't argue or anything....just getting on each other's skin
Adrine Mathu god would be a jerkoff if he thinks giving a species he created himself knowledge bad. The story of adumb and evil is basically just saying that decieving people is better than giving them thoughts and knowledge. Also, satan in the book is just god's follower, and he kills people based on his word....
Well it is a pretty flimsy fictional narrative. It would probably make more sense if Yahweh and Satan where in cahoots or treating people as a chess board game this would time This would however negate free will that Yahweh supposedly instilled in people.
Daringdosbiggestfan scp6.9-32 beta Lol, the problem is not the knowledge. The real shit is the fact, that humans broke ONLY ONE fucking rule the've ever had. Seriously, they had EVERYTHING, just ONE taboo - and they fucked it up. Good job, assholes.
Jack Frost Yeah, in a book written by humans. Are you an idiot? Its ALL FAKE. Also, a talking snake? a garden where everyyyything is just peeerfeeect? Shut up. That isnt even possible in your heaven.
Wait, how come in his first body the Devil could survive getting shot, being blasted by grenades and getting run over by a train, but in Arnold's body, being stabbed is what does him in?
It's been forever since I've seen the film but I believe the sword was just to buy a little more time before the new year rang in lol. Man I forgot how ridiculous this movie was. The choir boy speech is the only good part of this movie haha
Satan, if he existed would be the suave lawyer type. A great dancer and an even better conversationalist. Not to mention not engaging in such crass uses of violence.
The numbers thing (666 is really 999) is still really stupid. John of the Book of Revelations wrote in Koine Greek, and therefore he used the Greek numbering system. In some manuscripts, the number reads like χξϛ. In others, it is written in long form like ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ.
TFrills Do you not understand that at 2:13, there isn't supposed to be dialogue? Jesus Christ, dude. At least go to the time link before giving me attitude.
***** You can barely hear it. It might just be your imagination. Why the fuck would he dub that over the sound of an explosion? Wouldn't he have to do that on purpose?
It's such good Arnold fun and I actually really enjoy Gabriel Byrne's devil. Especially his introduction in the restaurant lol!! Also I thought the action and plot were just fine. Especially when i was a kid. I loved and still have fun with this movie.
I enjoyed this movie, one of Arnold's humanized roles. I was 7 years old when I saw this in theatres, and when it Arnold almost gets beat to death in the rainy, dark alley it completely shocked & saddened me. Also come to think of it, Max Payne reminds me a bit of Schwarzenegger's character, a New York hard-boiled, depressed cop who's wife & child were murdered and wears a black jacket.
Why did they kill a rattlesnake??? What do rattlesnakes have to do with making demon-making-infants? That rattlesnake ain't done shit to deserve that, it didn't sign up for this
***** Yes, it is doubtful the snake itself has any real allegiance to or even ever heard of the devil, leaving it to wonder why these crazy humans are killing it.
"I would like to talk to you about Thomas Aquinas." For fuck's sake - this film is so lame and half-assed they can't even make names for their own character's without ripping off famous historical theologians. As you could probably tell, I'm not exactly a devout follower of the Church, but even they, and especially a undisputed genius like Aquinas, don't deserve this kind of pathetic humiliation...
***** I don't get it. How is he not a genius? His philosophy is still studied today and he has influenced so much of western philosophy. Will scholars study you 800 yrs from now?
Nobody has ever mentioned this....but at 2:14, if you listen closely, you'll hear him say "builds anger in the heart of men" during the explosion (it's kinda quiet), but then he says that exact line a few seconds after. Not sure if that's a editing mistake, but nobody in the years this video has been uploaded by NC has pointed this out lol
Couple of things: That soprano voice at the beginning--the one that seems to be going, " _Na-nuuuu, naaaa-nuuuu_ " later reappeared in the "zombie mansion" levels of _Timesplitters Future Perfect_ . I wrote a review of this for my blog, _The Millennium Museum_, as the second-to-last Halloween entry. And I pretty much ran it through the wood-chipper!
thedude76555 Take any number you like. Multiply it by 2. Take your answer, halve it, then subtract the number you started. That's how many fucks I give.
With all these explosions you'd think the Devil was actually Michael Bay >_> Devil: This is not the last you will see of my explosions. Soon I will bring about you mortals something far more sinister...I will create a series of live-action Transformers movies starring Shia Lebeouf! Mwahahahaha!!!!
And you will know that I will grow more powerful with every sequel that keeps getting pushed out! And when my power is at its climax, I shall unleash my greatest weapon of all: a remake of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles where the turtles are actually aliens!
Arnold to Priest: "I'm looking for Thomas Aquinas." Priest to Arnold: "Eh, he hasn't been seen around hear since sometime in the late thirteenth century. Maybe, you should try reading his "Summa Theoligica." I couldn't put it down once I started reading it myself."
Carter could have been better, but wasn't awful to warrent that. He at least as been a great EX president, one must give em that. Heck dare I say better than Obama or even Clinton?
The typical, cliché ranting youtuber who sucks at what he does but thinks his shit is better than Jesus Christ......constantly calling Every character in Every movie he reviews as "The typical *blank* character".....The NC reminds of a study about how the most incompetent people think they're amazing BECAUSE they're too incompetent to accurately judge their own abilities.
And yet he's the one with his own website, his own network of fellow reviewers, minor internet celebrity status, and gets paid to do this stuff. Pls he doesn't usually put his own stuff on RU-vid, rather other people do. Funny that.
So he has a lot of equipment, but he doesn't think he's the best, a man can hold a sword and swing it, but that doesn't birth a swordsman. He's not the best but he's okay.
16:11 "Don’t make me continue my William Dafoe impression." Willem Dafoe actually plays the Devil in a Mercedes-Benz 2013 Super Bowl commercial. Maybe they got the idea from this Nostalgia Critic review!
3:57 to 4:07 I laughed so hard I had a mini heart-attack. Well played, Doug. I may have done irreparable damage to my cardiovascular system, but at least I die a happy man.
Lol at the end. Haha wow. Figured there would be bloopers. Some of the silly monologue through the review. December 28, 1999! 2 days before my 13th birthday!! :O Dang!
