This movie is full of jacked women, crazy cyborgs, and wild stunts | So Bad It's Good #90 - Nemesis 

Oliver Gruner is a legit real life badass. He was in the French Navy equivalent of the Marines, and you guys nailed it, a professional kickboxer. Everything Sifu Seagal wished he was.

I don't think they used a normal explosives expert for the explosions in this movie. They used a pyromaniac.

The granny with the gun and palsy was hilarious.

Brione James was the ultimate tough guy/minion/hired muscle/lieutenant/henchman of almost every movie ever made where an extra bad guy was needed. He was in SO many movies.

And you're right about the circular sunglasses, they look good on literally everyone

That 360 corkscrew no scope on top of the waterfall. 👌Magnificent!

When I looked this up and saw it was 1992, I was legitimately surprised. For an early '90s B-movie, it seems really well done. It's very VERY clear that Matrix took a lot of inspiration from this movie, enough so that at first I would have imagined this was from after the Matrix and clearly inspired by Matrix. So it was legitimately surprising to find this came out 7 years before.

Legend has it that 9 months after the shooting wrapped up, Olivier Gruner was the father to 17 babies.

I think Equiliberium and Underworld also stole the shoot through the floor thing too honestly. Also, as an old dude who's somewhat of a gymrat despite being retired and disabled, all my homegirls i workout with are jacked. Everyone thinks it's cool until you realize they eat like 9 times a day and blow up every toilet everywhere they go and will literally steal your food in front of you if you stop anywhere to eat, ever.

Albert Pyun was one of the most underrated director of all time. He made his own hiper brutal and sexy aestatic. True visioneer of 90s

I actually got to meet Olivier Grunner on the set of one of his movies he was filming in LA. He is a really super nice guy

"Karate kid 2, that's the asshole" 🤣🤣🤣👏👏 what a line

"I don't care anymore. There's a naked woman." Priceless.

This one was legitimately fun. It had a relatively low beer to laugh ratio. I was friends with a professional stunt woman and she was friggin' jacked, sadly stunt women don't get enough credit. Was nice to see - 80's & 90's were movie gold.

Just for the old woman alone, this movie is awesome. She looked completely natural at it. Stone cold grandma 👵

Olivier Gruner (pronounced grew ner) is a French kickboxer, served in French military. The producers of this film, Imperial, were grooming him to be the next Van Damme. They started him off in "Angel Town." Yes, that was Shang Tsung. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Brion James was in "Blade Runner", "The Fifth Element" The Commissioner was played by Full Moon veteran, Tim Thomerson ("Dollman" also directed by Pyun, and "Trancers"). The volcano scene was shot in Hawaii. Looking forward to you watching the sequels. There are four of them. "Nemesis 2 : Nebula", "Nemesis 3: Prey Harder", "Nemesis 4: Cry of Angels", & "Nemesis 5: The New Model". Part 4 is my favourite of the sequels. You guys are slipping. This film, "Nemesis", is actually good. Unlike the works of Sifu Seagal. "China Salesman" was pure torture. It was painful just watching you watch it!

His backstory almost looks made up: _"In 1981 Gruner left the French military with the aim to train full-time in order to compete professionally as a kick boxer. He traveled to the French Alps and began an intensive training regimen. In order to pay for his training expenses, he had to hold down four jobs, as a bouncer, a ski patrol member, a martial arts trainer, and a ski lift operator"_

Now you know what happened to all the stuntmen from the Cannon films of the 80's: they all got together in the 90's and starred in their own movie :)

Great movie! Awesome review guys. Also, Erin cracks me up. She has the patience of a boiling tea kettle when it comes to the action in a movie.

That shooting through the floor sequence was unique with some of the angles.

One of my very favorite movies - tons of action, explosions, relentlessly entertaining. And who doesn't love Tim Thomerson?

I found this bit of trivia on IMDB: "During the scene with the old lady shooting the cyborg, director Albert Pyun expressed concerns that holding the gun would take a physical toll on Mabel Falls, who plays the old lady with shotgun. She managed to pull through." Hell yeah she did.

The Motel-shootout is _insane._ When Albert Pyun was on he was *on!* I can also recommend "Mean Guns"

I unironically love this movie. Albert Pyun has directed some of my all time favorite dumb genre movies including this and its sequels. He also directed Dollman with Tim Thomerson (the old badass cyborg in this), Radioactive Dreams, the 1990 Captain America movie, and JCVD's Cyborg. You should definitely deep dive into his filmography for some good gems.

I love Nemesis. I had the pleasure of interviewing the director Albert Pyun years back, and it definitely ranks as one of his better films.

When they all jump through the big window, they don't stop shooting for a second. They're not even aiming at anything, just holding the guns. Fucking amazing.

The old guy villain in this, Tim Thomerson, has his own series of movies through Full Moon called Trancers where he’s a time traveling cop that hunts zombies. Helen Hunt plays his love interest as well.

He is a martial artist but what struck me was he was also in the French Commandos unit in the French marines. It’s one of the toughest special forces units. Great video as always.

Gruner was a professional kick boxer in France from '81 to '88.

Erin is the perfect woman. If you forget her birthday or Valentine's Day she will forget about it a week later.

"It's so aggressively 90s." 😂😂 Man I love this channel.

FINALLY! I recommended this movie to you guys months ago xD. This movie is Pyun's masterpiece (or whatever the director's name is). I love this movie, it's on my top movies list, I love it in all honesty. I wish to develop a game based off this movie, I already got some concepts of how it'll play out, it's plot, etc. I lifted so much out of this movie it's downright copycatting. My dream is to get the director's greenlight, so I don't have to change things up and try to avoid a lawsuit.

I have the same problem as Erin, in an action movie whenever some time passes without, you know, action, I'm like "STOP TALKING AND KILL SOMEONE, YOU (HUUUUUUUUUURRRRR)" And speaking of action, you NEED to watch Hard Boiled. Get the whole crew. I guarantee that would be the best SBIG episode ever.

Damn, I wasn't going to watch this one but I'm glad I did, seeing Thomas Jane really sold it to me, the casting for this movie was awesome, good to also see man mountain Sven in it too

This is a genuinely good movie, although some of the better parts come through inference.

Glad you finally watched this movie! Check some other Albert Pyun movies like Cyborg and Mean Guns you won’t be disappointed!

I saw this on HBO in the mid 1990's and for some reason totally fell in love with this movie and even picked it up on DVD.

One of my all time favorites! So glad you guys are revisiting such forgotten gems!

27:53 Our hero ladies and gentlemen. Uses the small pixie lady as his crash pad.

"Gutchies" is definitely a Western PA thing. Every lady I know over about 40-45ish who grew up around the Pittsburgh area says it. Not a lot of younger folks or guys in particular say it though... Also contextually it's mostly used in the sense that a joke about seeing or not wearing them is being made. So like, you'd say "Watch your skirt, I can see your gutchies!" or "He's learning to get his gutchies on all by himself!" - but you wouldn't hear someone generally say "I'm gonna head to Victoria's Secret and pick up some sexy gutchies for our anniversary." or "I'm done packing for the trip - I figured three pairs of pants and five pairs of gutchies will do.". You might hear the last one, maybe, depending on how often the person speaking really wants to say the word gutchies, I mean, people will shoehorn it in if they love saying it.

Oliver gunner needs to be in an expendables!!! I hope you have a cannon films checklist, we need another company that pumps out SBIG movies!!

That shot of him going down through multiple floors is forever ingrained in my memory.

The older bad guy is a badass, he played Dollman in the movie "Dollman"!

I genuinely don't know how I found this channel or why it was recommended. I assume because I watch RLM and other such shows. However, I am very pleased that this was sent my way. I've really been enjoying the backlog of episodes. Keep it up!

I saw it in the theater and it blew my 15 year old mind lol

He was a kick boxer haha! Erin killed it with that one. The 80s and 90s were a wild time for movies.

Dammit Jason! Your comment to the effect of "I'm sure they could have found a better camera angle so that we didn't have to see her colon" made me laugh so hard and for so long my girlfriend had to pause the video and got up to get a snack while I recovered🤣🤣🤣. You guys are all so awesome! if you're ever near Laurel Maryland I will buy you a six pack for the next video.

Two things missing in 2022 - 1) not enough cyborg movies 2) music videos where the band poster came to life and destroyed the house in front of the parents who hate rock and roll

Why didn't I see this movie as a kid, I think I would've loved it!

This has to be a 9/10 movie I mean, jacked women, nudity and the gun fight action scenes are actually extremely creative and impressive looking

The guy from Karate Kid 2 is Yuji Okumoto, who also owns a chain of Hawaiian-themed restaurants up here in Seattle. I literally had dinner at his restaurant last night, and now I'm seeing him on your channel.

Awesome job on this one- it's an anomaly and you all handled it perfectly - Can't wait for the sequels - especially once Sue Price appears - Have a great week all

FYI - There are 5 movies in the Nemesis Series... the 3rd one is made up of leftover footage from the 2nd one.

i like how the Brant thinks people hiding in a hole in the ground waiting to yeet the actors before just simply a trampoline.🤣

Saw this movie in 1993. I was 13 years old and i had a blast! One of my alltime favorit actionmovies

I found out that there are three sequels to this and all four movies are available on Blu-ray. Bought the first one on the strength of what I saw here.

Another amazing reaction/review! Nice job y'all! This film delivers some terrific exigent scenes. Albert Pyun has a bunch of other "gems" too. Also, another film that I would put in this low-budget cyberpunk category would be: Hardware (1990). Definitely worth a watch, especially on this channel.

It’s funny that you guys are buzzed. Man I come in on a night of drinking haha! You guys are awesome!!!

I appreciate the zoom ins on the little dogo trying to eat shorts haha

These videos have become the highlight of my Sundays. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. 😂

The older cyborg was played by the actor Tim Thomerson. Thomerson was the lead in a one of my guilty pleasure 80's movie "Trancers" in the role of Jack Deth.

I am so glad you finally did this movie. What a classic!!

The action sequences in this film is like watching the Waterworld Universal Studios experience. All the explosions and people doing 360 corkscrew backflips and breaking set pieces is straight out of that type of show.

"They'll wait there until the sun vanishes, then they're gone." Are we getting vampires in this movie too?!

Wow, between appreciating hot chicks to quoting Cake! Erin is a keeper for sure!

Hell yeah I’m early for once! Maybe Jason just had really amazing memory. I’m just now realizing that you do this with every movie you watch- you always are listing off who they are and what they’ve done

From the way the lead keeps losing side characters to the sweeping location shots of them traveling to their destination and the way the robot falls into the lava at the end, I couldn’t stop seeing The Lord of the Rings influence.

Hot chicks, hot dudes, cute dogs, Brion James, AND Tim Thomerson: automatically 5 out of 5.

Great reactions, I love this film it has mostly practical effects and in camera action scenes, the dialogues clunky but at least they made a effort with the stunts, shootouts unlike today were they cgi mostly everything. Oliver Gruner made some decent B movie action films I recommend you check out Automatic & Savate. The director of this directed JCVD in Cyborg, if you notice the guy Alex shot in the neck in bathroom played the villian Fender.

Hell yeah! I hope you dive into more Albert Pyun films (the director of this and Van Damme's Cyborg). He also did some Kickboxer sequels and the first one is better than the original! Also his Dollman is a delight, with Tim Thomerson (the villain in this) as the tiny man with a powerful alien gun. Pyun didn't plan any of the tiny man style shots out yet it still sort of works.

Guys this channel is the best I love your reviews . So happy I came across this channel 😀

Now that grey haired Joseph Thomerson has been introduced to you, now you HAVE to watch Doll Man!!

I swear this is better than The Matrix.

Thank you thank you thank you! One of my all time favorite bad films. Yes the acting is not great, but everything else is awesome. I have seen it over 30 times and will watch it again. Just don't watch the sequels, they make this one look like a high budget masterpiece.

I'm really bummed you're not going to see this comment, but the main baddie is Tim Thomerson AKA: Dollman/Jack Deth (Trancers). I'm glad you guys watched this bc it's definitely one of my favorites, idk even how many times I've seen it. Sadly your critique is spot on. Thanks

32:14 Nemesis is a great movie. Escape from New York meets The Terminator and The Six Million Dollar Man. An augmented retired policeman is forced by his former boss to go after his former partner gone rogue and implants him with a bomb which is programmed to detonate if he fails to complete the assignment.

I can't believe they made three more of these... either way, I thought this one was actually pretty good. It kind of put me in the mind of a John Woo/Hideo Kojima lovechild for some reason. I didn't mind the "boring" parts and the action and effects were great, didn't even mind the kind of hokey acting. I'll be checking out the rest for the sake of morbid curiosity.

Loved this one so much. Wait till you get to the sequels, total muscle chick worship.

You guys are great. Me and my friends did the same thing except 15 years earlier with no youtube. We called it "White box movies night" because the crappy movies came in white VHS boxes from the video store. Thank you and keep it up.

The movie and the reactions legitimately put a smile on my face. Enjoyable all around!!! Keep up the good work gang. I’d guess a lot of the people in this movie were gymnast at one point.

For this episode you're gonna have to change the title to "so good, it's good"

I remember Oliver Gruner in quite a few movies in the 90s but I never saw this one. This has a metric shite-tonne of actors in it. Not a bad film!

23:12 THIS SCENE! I knew I’d seen this one when it came out on video! “State-Of-The-F$&kin’-Art, Alex!”

I actually liked that a lot. My favorite aspects of the movie were probably all of the stoic, nearly unmoving poses with suits and big sunglasses (a staple and hold over from the 80's), combined with the huge gun props typical of the 90's and early 2000's. The stunts were the cherry on top. I'm also going to get some channel merch, soon. My company is about to pay out their last profit sharing check, so I may as well put part of it to good use. 👍

Yeah, either Granny has put a few rounds downrange in her day, or her meds are top notch. Or maybe both! Most of the time even the stunt players flinch like rookies.

I'm so mad this was not higher in my recommended videos. I literally went to bed thinking, "Where is my Jason Brant fix?!"

Good shout. Thank you for filling the leak in the memory hole. Olivier Gruner was definitely earmarked as a 'B-Movie JCvD'. That said I enjoyed this, along with Automatic, was definitely aimed at my demographic at the time. Interestingly enough, he's still doing film to this day. =]

Thank you guys👍

"I never know what's going to happen." needs to be a t shirt!!!!!😂

I love the Barbarians "Urrrrrrrr" when Erin is happy.

I watched this on Crackle yesterday, and the whole time, all I could think of was "What would Jason and the gang say" 🤣

loving all these episodes workin my way through 🙂

Not Agent Smith was Tim Thomerson the main guy in the Trancers movie which I'm guessing has been requested a lot. Checking his bio, there is a movie called Dollman where he plays a 13 inch tall space cop. I'm gonna have to check that out.

Another movie with this look and feel is "The Breed" (2001). It's about two detectives after a vampire serial killer... and one of them is also a vampire. You should watch it.

The zoom in of Erin when grandma was shooting was epic 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome Work Guys, Thanks 👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

Until the 29min mark i was like "Dude, who recommended this? This is not bad! Acting is something we can get over" but then the plane and stop motion scenes kicked in and i realized where the budget ended. But hey, this movie looks pretty runny cheese to me. Worth a watch.

Yo I watch these uploads all the time while I smoke n I just laugh the whole episode.

I rented this from Blockbuster back in the day one of them great Saturday night.takout and Beer movie's .Thanks for another trip down memory lane keep up the great job hope you start doing two shows a week soon

Grandma bustin' caps might be my favorite thing of the year, just glorious
