We Seriously Grew Up On This Movie? | Spy Kids 2: The Island of Fever Dreams 

spy kids 2 was my favorite movie when I was a kid, to the point where I'd hog my grandma's TV until it came on the disney channel and i think it shaped who I am today on a chemical level

I loved this movie when I was a kid. Haven't thought about it in years. Thanks for reminding me this was real.

I was OBSESSED with spy kids for a while in my youth. I saw the third movie when it came to tv and went back to watch the first two. I LOVED it it’s so so goofy and just an enjoyable time to me. The third one isn’t as good as one or two but it’s so bonkers and weird that I don’t care

The behind the scenes of this franchise is actually really wholesome and sweet. It was never made for an adult audience or with an adult budget, but they did a ton with what they had, and I think it holds up for young kids in the camp, imagination and fun. I loved these films as a kid, but found out I grew up near where a lot of the filming took place as an adult, right around the age I wore a Spy Kids homemade costume for Halloween lol

This movie is literally iconic!! I loved the miniature animals as a kid. Also that’s so funny that you don’t remember/have never seen the characters from the first movie sjdhdb

Some barbie movies I'd recommend are: Rapunzel, The Diamond Castle, 12 Dancing Princesses, or really any of the late 2000s ballet-inspired films. If you're looking for something a tad more modern, either The Pearl Princess or the Pink Shoes will suit you well.

i wanted a pet spidermonkey so bad as a kid, i loved the weird little animals from this movie

Honestly the engineer felix betraying them was such a plot twist to me as a child as he was a character in the first movie, and a good guy who was a spy pretending to be their uncle (the parents knew) so that he was someone capable of babysitting and protecting the kids when the parents were out because of the risks of them being the children of spies (Machette was estranged from his brother at this point). And for most of their lives, Carmen and Juni thought the dude was their actual biological uncle who they were excited to see whenever he came to visit. He even heroically stayed behind to fight some ninja thumbs (long story) when they broke into the house so Carmen and Juni could escape. So him betraying them in the sequel was a shocker.

I love your editing, your content is so underrated tbh the production quality is better than 99% of youtube commentators

It’s funny how as kids we didn’t realize how weird this movie was but rewatching it now it’s impossible to ignore just how bizarre and surreal it is. It’s honestly impressive how it’s so unique and over the top but still was a big franchise in the 90s/2000s. I can’t help but respect the director for having such a personalized style that could have easily flopped but did it just right and actually did amazing and made bank.

The one Pegasus Barbie movie was my favorite as a kid. The plot is batshit crazy, good stuff

princess and the pauper, princess and the pauper, princess and the pauper! genuinely one of my fav barbie movies from childhood. 12 dancing princesses is also pretty great. any of the fairytopia/mermaidia/mariposa movies for bibble alone are worth the watch

You have many questions about stuff that is a reference to the first movie, and I hate that I remember so many of the answers to your questions for a 20 year old kid's movie. Like "the engineer" uncle being Machete, from the R-rated Machete series, or Monk's head being horrifying because THE FAMILY DID THAT TO HIM AT THE END OF THE FIRST MOVIE. XD

I literally came from “Scott vs the World” video from a month ago, are we not going to talk about his HAIR GROWTH LIKE DAWG WHERE DID ALL THATA HAIR COME??????

I saw the movie for the first time in years recently, and while i liked it, when watching the beginning, I had this thought: How irresponsible is this president, that he leaves the Transmooger device, so unsecure, that his prepubescent daughter, craving for his attention, swipes it from him, and nobody notices until probably hours later? How did this guy even get elected?

Princess and the Pauper is pretty much agreed to be the best barbie movie quality-wise, but Diamond Castle is EXTREMELY gay and I absolutely love it for that, so I'd probably recommend one of those two

I lived and breathed the spy kids movies, I swear I watched each and every one of them at least 50 times to the point where I had a lot of the lines memorized.

Your little cutaway bit about killing old people was so TERRIBLE and I was laughing so hard but I feel bad about it. That was DARK.

i actually did recognize another movie in that list, which is we can be hero’s, which is basically shark boy and lava girl 2

here’s an idea for the barbie video if you’re up for it: compare “barbie in the princess and the pauper” and “barbie in the princess and the pop star” it’s the same basic premise with a couple of the same songs (but the first one is better) or i think “barbie in a fairy secret” would be a really good barbie movie to make fun of

I love how absolutely little I remember about this movies plots, but have such vivid memories of specifically the scenes you put in this video lmao.

Awh man I remember LOVING this movie when I was a kid! I also remember one spy kids movie with living thumb people, only because the living thumb people terrified me to my very core. Ngl I have a lot of affection for the Spy Kids movies, just because of how much I adored them when I was a young kid.

No mention of the fact that the grandfather is literally Khan???

Im sorry ive commented like 3 times but THE SQISHMALLOWS ARE INCREDIBLE

and the film slaps thank you very much the island is named such because the doctor spent his life trying to invent something that would bring joy to kids but it all failed. the dreams of both he and possibly many children were lost, it's the island of los-

Please review spy kids game over, I’m actually begging 🤲🏾 and I hope you’re editing style never changes I have laughed at every video you’ve made thus far

This movie came out a year before I was born, but I was so obsessed with it that my dad bought me the toy version of the submarine they used, and this video just unlocked the memory of me playing with that 😅🤣

Love the Prometheus School of Running Away from Things and Carmen Ex Machina back to back 😂

Speaking of Danny Trejo: technically the main character in Machete showed up in Spy Kids first and they're maybe in the same cinematic universe

Man, I remember being obsessed with Spy Kids. I even had the book version of the third movie that had some generic pictures of the kids in their cool suits somewhere in the middle that I think I got at a school book fair.

I remember absolutely LOVING these movies while I was younger. Like, omg I was so obsessed with them

Got to love how Troublemaker studios developed Spy kids and also had a hand in Predators, such similar film genres

I had totally forgotten about the entire theme park ordeal. Watching that again for the first time since I was like 7 was dissonant to say the least 😂 it’s spooky how unreal this movie feels even though it was such a huge part of my childhood

i loved this movie as a kid and i still watch it regularly today lmao, the fact that it aged horribly made it age perfectly (if that makes any sense?)

My sister and I uncovered our old DVDs, and she found her copy of “Barbie and the Diamond Castle.” Even I remember those CGI dogs… it would be fun to watch you review.

alongside the live action scooby-doo movies, i too adored spy kids 2 more than the first and watched it ALL the time on video !!!! as for barbie movies i agree with a lot of comments recommending princess and pauper, arguably one of her best ! diamond castle is for the gays and i’ll always have a soft spot for barbie: in a mermaid tale ! i actually found your channel whilst scrolling logged out (and watched the zombie video, i hope you explore the series more !) and had to jump onto my actual account to like, comment and subscribe 😃😃😃 i look forward to ur next video !

I am offended by your magic Johnson joke when I have had “flupe is a madman help us save us” running through my head for the last 22 years

cant believe you dont have at least 100k ur definitely my favourite youtuber I've discovered in a while :D

This movie felt like a group fever-dream

As someone who's a few years older than you I find the opening funny since everyone I know was OBSESSED with these films when they came out, me included. I think I can quote the entire thing backwards if the opportunity came to call hahahaha. This was a great video btw, had me snorting every 5 seconds.

Okay… so i have a new favorite youtube channel

As for that list you showed i recognized shorts which is an absolute fever dream of a movie

Holy crap. You said the word "Slizzards" and my brain instantly heard the "SLIZZARDS! AHHH" line. Help I haven't seen this movie since I was 4

I recently watched this again like 2 years ago because it was on cable tv and I was bored, I couldn’t believe what I remembered from the movie was all real

Why this CGI terror of a kids film had steve buscemi deliver one of the hardest philosophical questions ive ever heard, ill never know. But im glad it did.

I want to clip the sound bite of the monkey going "I don't wanna do this no mo" and the game over noise together. Fucking S tier joke.

As a kid I loved the Spy Kids trilogy. It holds a special place in my heart. Looking back I still like it. I never liked Spy kids 4 since I was like a high schooler at the time getting to know that movies can be bad. I don’t think I’ll ever watch the 5th unless if my nieces or nephew does.

i love the troublemaker park solely because they filmed it at six flags over texas which i grew up going to! most of the rides are just six flags attractions with added cgi effects

Yo im a bit late but i just wanted to say i love yiur content and the way you structure your vids. And you talking about one of my childhood faves is making my day. Have a lovely day my guy.

I also enjoy the deepest film of all time

steve buscemi 👍

i remember the spider monkey granola bar scene VIVIDLY

The first spy kids definitely keeps me up at night questioning my sanity

I wasn't mentally prepared for $7

Man I’m so glad I found your channel

That bit at the start about swearing you saw something but not remembering what it was called reminded me of this animated film about dragons or something. All I remember is that there was a massive skeleton dragon near the end that was defeated somehow and I don't remember anything else about it. I have a few other films that I can't remember much of too but I know they were real

Man, I would DIE for you to do a video on CrashBox!!! Dunno if you ever watched it but still it’s fantastic

I had the biggest crush on Gary giggle when I was a little kid watching the movie

The skeletons reappearing for a single reaction shot is so spy kids its hilarious

All the Spy kids movies feel like a fever dream. Made worse by the fact that I watched them in reverse order for some reason.

A bit late, but there’s a surfer/mermaid Barbie movie (blanking on the name rn) that would be a great one to watch. There was a great scene where Barbie’s hair turned pink while she was surfing and people were treating it like she had emerged from the water covered in blood or something lmao. Or the movie where she goes to Paris and Ken chases after her, being a complete lovable wreck of a man. Or the one where Ken literally gets kidnapped and forced into an arranged marriage with a fairy queen and Barbie has to go save him. Actually, just review every single Barbie movie

2:59 best live action anime

That intro speaks to me deeply there's a show where a kid cures a bird-based poisoning with a centipede that he keeps in a test tube in his backpack like a EpiPen and I do not know what the show is.

I thought this movie was a collective delusion we all had at some point

It’s crazy how much I remember this

Love that I found your channel!! Truly great stuff!!! ❤

I still can’t believe “Do you think god stays in heaven because he too fears what he’s created?” Came from a film about kids who are super spies that go to an island with ugly cgi monsters created by a weird scientist guy

Wait can we talk about the BANGER of a music video at the end

So apparently Dongogan Giggles is played by Mike "King of The Hill" Judge. This blew my mind.

the google screencap gags w inspect element keep fuckin delivering so hard lmao. hell yea excellent channel

I love your criticism of this movie! I pretty much agree with EVERYTHING except maybe one or two things. *I mean no offense to you in this counter-argument* I love your content and you’re pretty funny. At 19:04 you say that this exposition came out of nowhere.. in reality; however, the information about the isoand is actually revealed at the scene at 12:13, where Donnagan Giggles explains (I’m too lazy to find the actual quote, so here’s a summary of what I remember) “The mysterious, unmapped, and untrackable island is possibly a threat to mankind. Several spies that went there have been missing. The few that came back went mad and describe outlandish monsters that are amalgamations of creatures on earth.” The Ukatah Assignment is implied to be an assignment going on for years. The objective for the original spies was to find, map, and infiltrate the island in case if the island may pose a threat to society. As for the Spider Monkey and Juni Cortez vs Slizzard and Gary Giggles fight, I feel like this fight had quite a bit if context missing, so here’s what I got from it: So, Gary is evil because he believes that obedience to the head of the OSS makes you a perfect spy; He is especially obedient to Donnagan because they’re father and son (ass kisser). Juni’s “rogue mission” of finding and discharging The Transmooker Device interferes with Donnagan’s orders, thus making Gary’s objective - finding The Transmooker Device to give it to Donnagan - drectly foiling each other. Now, Gary must eliminate Juni because they are on opposite sides (and also because Gary is an arrogant dick who needed to look like an asshole villain). Juni’s second encounter with the Spider Monkey is actually a demonstration of human-animal bonding. Juni gives the Spider Monkey a protien bar out of kindness. In exchange, the Spider Monkey will protect Juni from harm. This is when ass kisser- I mean Gary finally tracks Juni down. Gary also fed the Slizzard, which makes this a goofy fantasy cavalry battle of sorts. Now, I’m gonna be honest, the fight was pretty mid with the bad CGI and the funny moves and dialogue.. but I mean.. this fight had me in the edge of my couch when I was a kid. The Soider Monkey getting crushed by that massive stone pillar made me cry as a kid. Now as an 18 year old who overanalyzes *EVERYTHING* for fun, I *still* cry over it cause… The Spider Monkey saved Juni’s life but couldn’t save himself ;-; A-anyway.. Carmen vs Gary was pretty funny, I guess. The “You’re so full of Shitake mushrooms” pun and the skeletons didn’t make sense to me when I was a kid, but now they have me DYING. And the Spider Monkey’s revival kind of makes sense. I mean.. some spiders can withstand fucking hydraulic presses of pressure. Some are even flat because they’ve evolved to avoid being squished. And monkeys have tenacity like a motherfucker, man.. Monkeys are tough as nails. Again, I lean no offense in this counterargument. I agree with everything in the video aside from the two things and you’re a great critic! Your videos are funny and entertaining and… yeah.

I only want to live into the extreme tech age to have a FLYING WHEEL CHAIR like the grandpa at 26:15 that thing is sick 😂

i just told my parents about the god fearing line and they were so surprised it was from this movie

Never knew Spy Kids came from the same production company as Tarintino’s Death Proof and Planet Terror. You can see Rodriquez’s touch in them for sure, think Spy Kids wacky but Rated R lol

bro i just discovered ur channel and im so glad!! ur commentary is so good u make me laugh a lot

The “god” line by Steve Buscemi is even funnier now after watching Miracle Workers

8:37 his reaction had me cackling at 8 am with no sleep

barbie fairy secret is so funny but also has some good ass scenes in it pls check it out, either that or the christmas carol or nutcracker movies

I loved the spy kids movies , and for some reason I enjoyed the lil concert scene at the end like it was a bop for me

Lmao loved the Pitch Meeting reference

Love the video, I loved these movies as a small child, I guess small minds imagine better. Also good channel, super underrated!

I relate to the intro sooo much with Disney’s “Pagemaster”. I told my family and friends so much about this film but no one had seen it and I couldn’t figure out the name of the movie. Until one day, when I suddenly remembered that it starred Macaulay Culkin and I could do some googlin’. So… yeah. In short, the movie’s like a fever dream

This was always my favotite Spy Kids movie

I can’t believe you didn’t read Gary for those bad boy 2000s glasses

The isle of dreams music video thing at the end of this movie was one of my bi awakenings. Thanks, Alexa Vega.

In a world where child soldiers are legal this theme park in light work

This is making me want to rewatch the first 4 movies

For a series of kids movies, Spy Kids has some of the most surreal body horror.

That spy kids 5 movie came out and I liked it considering I had to frequently remind myself I'm not the target audience anymore

This was my favorite spy kids movie like I loved it so much when I was younger! Still love it honestly. This should’ve been left a trilogy like leave it alone.

the fact this came out on my bday, idk whether that's a blessing or a curse😭💀 3:36

He balances across and gets a check These are high stakes, probably for a million dollars

What I found out is that this film is probably one of Mike judge’s most well-known live action roles.

Great content!! You deserve a whole lot of attention :)

Every spy kids movie is my favorite action movie (I’m not even sure if they are considered action movies)

This and Atlantis the lost empire I recorded on VHS and watched the crap out of

I have this movie in 3D on DVD, I love it ngl

You say helicopter car is useless, but then there is also a submarine car 💀

Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience and Prometheus school of running away from things

Have you heard of a movie called Four Rooms ? Tim Roth plays a bellman in a Hollywood hotel on New Year’s Eve who’s working alone for the night. Each of the titular rooms is directed by a separate director, and have slightly interconnected stories. Robert Rodriguez directed the room called The Misbehaviors, about a little brother and older sister left alone in the room for the night by their parents, one of whom is played by Antonio Banderas. There IS a foot sniffing scene in this movie. Also the room ends up like… a horror movie by the end. Seriously, dude. GO WATCH FOUR ROOMS
