I remember loving this movie as a kid. To this day my sister and I still say, "prepare to die, Earth scum!" I don't know how our parents could stand it since we watched it daily for a while, at least until the tape got lost in the media cabinet. We lost a lot of tapes in the media cabinet. Mom said it was haunted and you just had to deal with it. We were stupid kids who loved movies like Spaced Invaders, so we believed her.
Why do you guys even watch Doug? The last time he was funny was years ago. You can tell that he got tired of the NC shtick and is only doing it because all of his other projects failed.
Not only did the mom pick up what she assumed where 4 kids she didn't know, when this misbehaved she dropped them off in the middle of nowhere, presumably miles from their house. She's a TERRIBLE parent!
This was and is such a guilty pleasure. Well, a nostalgic pleasure. it's weird and all but harmless. In retrospect I realized one thing: Mind control dude had an original Gojulas Zoid. It had to be imported from Japan directly and not a Kay-Bee or Toys-R-Us pickup. I finally realized that's where he got the idea for the farmdroid. Being a one-time Zoids builder with a suite of Ligers still on my shelves, it was a nice touch.
Holy shit, this review sparked an obscure memory. As a little kid, I could remember bits of a movie my parents rented. The one scene that stuck out in my mind for years involved popcorn coming out of a farm silo. Until now, I could not remember what movie that could have possibly been. Thanks, Brad!
Holy shit Gregg Bergers in this? He's one of my favorite voice actors. I know him best as Grimlock from Transformers, The Pain from MGS3 and Captain Blue from Viewtiful Joe my favorite role of his
FINALLY! I've been waiting *YEARS* for one of you guys to review this! I suggested it to Doug at a con a couple of years ago. But now it's HERE! THANK YOU, Brad Jones! THANK YOU!
Now this is a blast from the past. I can't tell you how many times me and my sister rented this one of VHS back in the day. Spaced invaders, Howard the duck, and Inner space where our most rented movies if I remember. when I was in 8th grade and she was in the 6th our family moved to a tiny town where there was nothing to do but there was a store about 5 minutes from our house that rented VHSs and a one screen movie theater in town. We went every weekend no matter what was playing and saw it and then we'd rent movies to watch home and if there was nothing new that was good we got on of the three I mentioned above. Man I'm glad that we only lived there for a year.
Have to admit: this one is a guilty pleasure of mine, I like the kid dressed up as a xenomorph. Also the design of the alien robot is pure badass, wish it was in a actual movie instead of this.
the only thing i did like about babys day out is how fucked up it was that the baby doing all of these dangerous things never got hurt once but meanwhile casued somehow tons of grownups to get seriously hurt just by existing
in some way, i always saw Babys day out as a live action rugrats...the babys out running rampant, parents are oblivious about what is going on ect. ect.
*Slight* clarification-- Blaznee is the Jack Nicholson soundalike, Captain Bipto is the one with the Verndroid (possessed gas station attendant), and Lieutenant Giggywig is the one who keeps saying 'Prepare to die, Earth scum!'
I remember really liking this movie when I was a kid. Every once in a while I think "what was that movie with those aliens.... it had something to do with the town getting a new off ramp."
i remember walking the 3 miles to my local town theater as a kid to see this movie. It was mildly entertaining at the time as I recall but I never thought about it again until this review.
Everytime I see that old Touchstone logo the opening chords of Nightmare Before Christmas start in my head so your jokes about it were really surreal to me somehow.
I have vague memories of this as a child. For some reason back then I thought it was about the old guy from Fraggle Rock and his dog fighting martians. I don't think I was far from the truth.
I loved this movie as a kid. I always thought the cartoon "Butt-Ugly Martians" was the TV version of this. Also, Third Rock from the Sun totally holds up, even the episode about Beanie Babies.
"We are the Martians / The Butt Ugly Martians! / We are the Martians / The Butt Ugly Martians." Hey, someone had to reference that during this Cinema Snob review, _annnnd I won't be satisfied_ until someone else sings along to it.
Saw this when it was little in the theatre lol absolute classic, I re-watched it last halloween actually and still got a kick out of it...completely campy, goofy flick but great fun for a kid...
I like to think Royal Dano didn't know he was ever an actor. He just went about his day, drunkenly interacting with dynamite and weird shit, before his actual death in Ghoulies 2.
No Maurice Lamarche? So no Rosebud frozen peas?! Awwww, there won't be any country goodness and green peaness for anyone this Halloween! Wait, yes there will be; because Mister Snob just reviewed this movie! Green Peaness for everyone! But seriously, a big thank you for this video! Even back when I started watching the Nostalgia Critic, I've been wanting to see this movie come up, and thanks to you, it's finally happened! I know it's a dumb movie for dumb kids, but dammit, it's still fun! And I was even a bit guilty of quoting along with the movie, even if the full cut wasn't shown. "Or in your case, a whole LOAF of Toast!!" Ah, good shit!
This made my lunch hour! Tom and Chee sandwich, soup and the snob. I had a bootleg copy of this when i was young. I thought it sucked too but watched it over and over again. Thanks Snob!
I fucking love this movie. I appreciated how it didn't take itself seriously. My grandmother taped it on an old vhs and then once it died I had to have it on sparkling dvd.
I remember being a young kid and being force to watch this movie with my younger cousin. She loved it for some reason. Keep up the kick booty work!! Glad to see the Snob ran Film Brain off.
I'm surprised that when The Cinema Snob mentioned Greg Berger and his voice work, I'm surprised he didn't mention that also voiced Grimlock from Transformers. Also, love the Maurice LaMarche references.
I am in agreement with the Snob. A good DVD/Blu-ray disc is missing a little something without disc art. Also, it's a pain in the ass not to leave fingerprints on.
I think the aliens look surprisingly good, especially for "only" five million dollar budget. Trying to think of some point of comparison, Howard the Duck came out four years earlier and had a budget of 37 million. Cinema Snob has a weakness for cute robots? I wonder what would happen if he reviewed Batteries Not Included...
