Look What You Did #1.5 : 2020 Texas Gladiators

Ricky and Gary ride their motorcars straight into the past apocalypse as we start our loving tribute to our friend Johnny with these shows. We start is out with a bang and a boob (just one) with Joe D’Amato dipping his toes into the illustrious world of the Mad Max rip-off 2020 Texas Gladiators aka Endgame from 1983.

Speaker 1: How do you find out?

Speaker 2: It's easy.

Speaker 2: I got my spies too, you know.

Speaker 1: He's got to stop him here.

Speaker 1: Everything's going according to plan and any attempt to stop us now could lead to disorder and rebellion.

Speaker 2: They mustn't get beyond the mountains.

Speaker 2: You've got something that'll stop him.

Speaker 1: Money.

Speaker 2: This time it's different.

Speaker 2: Same as the last time.

Speaker 2: It's not enough.

Speaker 2: I want double.

Speaker 2: It's a hard job.

Speaker 2: What's the matter?

Speaker 2: I'm afraid of free men?

Speaker 2: No, but these guys are rangers and I'm only one Pretty freaking Superman for the martial race.

Speaker 1: You'll get the rest when they're dead.

Speaker 1: Hello folks, I am Gary Hill with you today.

Speaker 1: I'm also with Ricky Morgan.

Speaker 1: How are you doing, sir?

Speaker 1: What's happening, mate?

Speaker 1: This is the show on the free feed that was formerly known as the Burntons.

Speaker 1: You get those on Patreon.

Speaker 1: No problem now.

Speaker 1: But to fit the format and the love of why we're doing this, I just read Love of Cinnamon for our friend Johnny Krueg.

Speaker 1: I'm giving a throwback to the Kruger Nation.

Speaker 1: He had a segment on his show called Look what you Did as preferring to you know.

Speaker 1: Look what your brother did at the door and take his chainsaw massacre and he talked about something that was wrong in the horror industry.

Speaker 1: I'm going to skip that, because there's a lot wrong with the horror industry today, but I'm going to go with the most outrageous thing we saw in the movie called the.

Speaker 1: Look what you Did for each individual movie.

Speaker 1: So that'll be the format of having fun with this and saying what was the craziest thing you saw in this movie and I think I have mine already.

Speaker 1: It's right near the beginning.

Speaker 1: So there you go.

Speaker 2: There's a bunch in this one to me that just kind of like wait a minute.

Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry for the odd intro, but, Ricky, how you doing man?

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm awesome man.

Speaker 2: You know you, let me pick a movie.

Speaker 2: And I literally just threw a dart at the dartboard and picked this movie because before we started rolling I told him.

Speaker 2: I said look, I said it's called 2020 Texas Gladiators, it's from the 80s and it's Italian.

Speaker 2: I'm sold.

Speaker 2: I mean, I've never seen anything about this.

Speaker 2: I just saw the artwork and the name and I said we got to do it because I know it's going to work for this show.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, if you look at the artwork, one of the guys kind of works on the movie because they have a Mohawk.

Speaker 1: So I guess they're going for the whole Vernon Wells thing with that guy.

Speaker 1: Yeah, right.

Speaker 2: I mean, there's no doubt what this is kind of ripping off.

Speaker 1: His back is about as big as his head is.

Speaker 1: If you look at the picture, it's just that's nuts.

Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of those elusive that they made many of the good old Mad Max ripoffs that we all know and love, and this is just one of them Probably the 150 that exist.

Speaker 1: Most of them are Italian, too.

Speaker 1: Most of them are Italian, although one day I'm going to look and see if I can find copies of the Turkish stuff.

Speaker 1: This is pretty crazy Turkish Rambo, turkish Mad Max, turkish Star Wars.

Speaker 1: They made them on like $1,000 or something.

Speaker 1: It shows.

Speaker 2: What was the Turkish film?

Speaker 2: That's Freddie Kruger ripoff, but it's a musical as well.

Speaker 2: What's that?

Speaker 2: Called I think it's a Bollywood man.

Speaker 2: Maybe it's Bollywood.

Speaker 1: It's amazing.

Speaker 1: I'm talking about, though.

Speaker 1: Yes, I definitely know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: This is 2040 Texas Gladiators from 1983, directed by George.

Speaker 1: I guess the co-direction of Core 9DB, Joe DiMotto and George Eastman worked on this.

Speaker 1: George Eastman helped write this with Aldo Florio.

Speaker 1: This star is Al Kleiber, Harrison Moeller, Daniel Stephan, Steven my fault Peter Hutin.

Speaker 1: These things have weird frigging names.

Speaker 1: They're Italian.

Speaker 1: They're Italian, Except for Hel Yamanuchi, who's in this movie as Red Wolf, which I got to give them credit here.

Speaker 1: They actually get some real natives to play these roles they're not all in a native face, which I can appreciate that Our girl Gerona Gerona shows up in this.

Speaker 2: I saw her too.

Speaker 1: There she is, and a bunch of uncredited people, apparently, so we're going to go with that.

Speaker 1: Your cheapo IMD-plotsanopsis is.

Speaker 1: In a post-apocalyptic Texas, a band of warriors fight against a fascist regime that is trying to take control of all surviving population.

Speaker 1: That's off.

Speaker 1: But whatever, we'll talk about it, you know.

Speaker 2: That's the least of the concerns in this one.

Speaker 1: They want the power.

Speaker 1: Ricky, they want the power.

Speaker 1: The random Nazi leader in this movie wants the power.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like where did this guy come from?

Speaker 1: He came out of Hogan's Heroes, and we're talking about that too, you know.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's literally like they just pulled another character.

Speaker 2: That's what's weird about this one, right, because it's supposed to be 2020, post-apocalyptic, futuristic, but it's not.

Speaker 2: That's what makes it so fun.

Speaker 2: I mean and you said it while I go If anybody has been listening to the Doctor Movie stuff, I did several D'Amato flicks that George Eastman was in and co-directed and co-starred in.

Speaker 2: So you know, I'm always happy to see that team up because I know I'm in for it may kind of drag a little, but there's going to be some stuff in there.

Speaker 2: You're going to be like okay, here's my money.

Speaker 1: I love the way this one starts, because you know, just as you're going to get, kind of the way it starts, whether they're these guys.

Speaker 1: I guess these different factions are invading this one place and they're going to go have a scrap all at once because it doesn't really go anywhere, except for here's these guys that are with no shirts but they have gun belts on.

Speaker 1: Here comes the lepers from the Omega man coming to Chime in these machete-wielding maniacs coming to Chime in.

Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of the scene from Anchorman, where all the Anchorman got together to have that giant fight.

Speaker 2: I was thinking clockwork orange, but yeah, you're right, it's like clockwork orange and Anchorman put together.

Speaker 1: There was like five gangs going at once and they were like where's this going?

Speaker 1: I was like oh, yeah, no no, I'm just rolling man.

Speaker 2: I mean, it's just these people that are the white ash skin, like you said.

Speaker 2: I don't know if they're lepers or what, but they're kind of zombie-ish I guess.

Speaker 2: And you got to have the girl on the floor being grouped and handled and trying to rape her and all that stuff.

Speaker 2: Then, all of a sudden, our Rangers come in, which is all of our Texas Gladiators.

Speaker 2: So it's funny it's called Texas Gladiators, but they refer to them as the Rangers in the movie.

Speaker 2: And yeah, they've all got their bullet belts wrapped around their chest and come in all guns blazing.

Speaker 1: Yes, they do.

Speaker 1: It's wild.

Speaker 1: And then you get all that at the beginning and then you get to this whole side of like what this film is really about, which are these people, much like in the Rowan Warrior, who have fashioned a little colony, but this is built around the power plant and they figured out how to make it work.

Speaker 2: Not built around a power plant.

Speaker 2: They're living in the power plant.

Speaker 2: I mean, like here's a closet, I'll move in here.

Speaker 1: This is not my bedroom.

Speaker 1: Yes, indeed.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're isolated.

Speaker 2: So what happens is this group of the Rangers what?

Speaker 2: Five of them, I think and one of them sees a blonde girl that ends up being a bigger part of the movie later on.

Speaker 2: What's her?

Speaker 2: Called Malda?

Speaker 2: But he decides you know, hey, I'll just pull down my pants and we'll go to town.

Speaker 2: And the other Rangers stop him and they kind of kick him out of the group.

Speaker 2: And then Al Clavver our favorite guy from you know, fulci Zombie.

Speaker 2: He's nice to her and tries to take care of her stuff and she says, hey, we've got this place back in this power plant.

Speaker 2: What you come live with us.

Speaker 2: So he does.

Speaker 2: And I never thought that people in even now, in 2020, if the world was destroyed, that you'd still be wearing 80s.

Speaker 2: You know clothes and wearing hard hats.

Speaker 2: You know, just kind of threw me for a loop there.

Speaker 1: Well, they had her.

Speaker 1: Who was wearing it?

Speaker 1: This is part of my no.

Speaker 1: No, I'll get into this now.

Speaker 1: The outfit she's wearing in this movie she has one boob covered up and one boob hanging down, but has a pasty over it, so you can't see her nipple, you know.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: And the child is with her.

Speaker 1: I have to say, when I was watching this movie it was like, wow, that's some fabulous wig work right there, and you think this kid is going to be like the Farrell kid from Mad Max 2, it doesn't really happen, because this wig is just out everywhere.

Speaker 1: And this girl I made this comment on Facebook, I watched it like makes you ask the important questions like are nipple pasties that expensive in the wasteland?

Speaker 1: Because she's only wearing one?

Speaker 1: So you know, that's a.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine they're kind of hard to come by, you know, yeah, but yeah, I mean this whole concept of living in this power plant and working it.

Speaker 2: They're not just living there, they're using this thing and you know you have to have chaos right.

Speaker 2: So not only do you have this group of renegade bikers that all look all Mad Maxed out right, like all the bad guys, and they're hanging out in the mountains not far from here, but at the same time you've got, you know, this guy's working on this pipe and it explodes and it's about to blow the whole place up and Al Cliver has to go in there and save the day, only to walk out and say, holy crap, here comes a bunch of guys on motorcycles trying to kill us all.

Speaker 1: And they know that they're a threat, obviously because this whole protocol setup when they're going to show up, they have alarms going on.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all these farmers have automatic rifles going.

Speaker 1: You know, they know how to load their guns.

Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, this has happened before, but the security is like so low.

Speaker 1: And they're literally all these kinds of people, which I kind of enjoy because they're not all decked out like Mad Maxed too.

Speaker 1: You see, the normal folks, like the guy who unfortunately gets shot and killed.

Speaker 1: That's the father.

Speaker 1: It's like a farmer, he's wearing overalls, he's a regular blue collar guy, you know.

Speaker 2: That's what I mean, that's what's so weird.

Speaker 2: And I thought, you know, when it changed the scene from them rescuing her and then it just jumped to this thing, I thought are we going back in time?

Speaker 2: Because they're dressed like, you know, regular work clothes.

Speaker 2: You would figure, without this time passing, those clothes wouldn't be around, you'd have to make your own stuff, right.

Speaker 2: So I don't know, it just was things.

Speaker 2: I was just like where did they find all these you know casual eighties clothes in 2020?

Speaker 1: Well, if you go by, you know it's always study logic.

Speaker 1: He found that denim already at the bridge and then they boiled it, you know, to make it clean again.

Speaker 1: So you know we do it.

Speaker 1: Chug boiling some denim Come on now, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: But yeah, so they're, they're, they're attacked, they're, they're, they're compound, and but they're, they're ready to go.

Speaker 1: But when you think that this, this is, this happens like every other day, because, as important as this power plant is, which is, like, I guess, the only source of power that exists, you know that they bust up in their hood.

Speaker 1: They finally get it, because I love this aspect of it.

Speaker 1: They have these imperishable shields that are perishable the bullets but not imperishable to something else that comes later on.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a real victory to those people later on, you know.

Speaker 2: That's got to be the most outrageous thing in this movie, I think, because you know you're shooting bullets at these guys who are dressed like extras from the black hole and they're marching all in sequence and you got this big black vehicle that they'll get out of.

Speaker 2: It's very, you know, the vehicle looks very Mad Max.

Speaker 2: They all get out and they line up and they just do a march and everybody's shooting and you see the bullets just bouncing off but the shields are empty.

Speaker 2: They got like an outer layer on them and then the inside, so you're shooting at them and the bullets bounce off even the part that's empty, but then they can stick their gun through that and shoot you and I'm like okay, it's like wait, they're not paying attention.

Speaker 1: Let's stick our rifles through right now.

Speaker 1: You know we've killed just enough of them where they'll never notice.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's the.

Speaker 2: I don't know.

Speaker 1: Even a Robocop, they say shoot them in the mouth.

Speaker 1: Yeah, no shit, it's, it's, it's right there gaping open for them to shoot Robocop in the mouth if they want to.

Speaker 1: But, um, some of them with the right aim could say, hey look, I see a hole in their armor.

Speaker 1: You know, real old fashioned, like military stuff.

Speaker 1: I see a chink in their armor, which is these you know, when they decide to fire it's not a hole.

Speaker 2: It's 75% of the shield is open.

Speaker 1: So they're really allowed to show they were shot by surprise.

Speaker 2: This is.

Speaker 2: You could kick a soccer ball in it, I mean this is 2020, guys.

Speaker 1: You know, I guess they're really lousy shots amongst these farmers of pitchforks that now have rifles and are fighting for this power plant.

Speaker 1: And um, I love it, I love it.

Speaker 1: And then it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2: It's ridiculous yeah.

Speaker 2: And then you know, that's what we're here for.

Speaker 1: Not that, colonel Quink.

Speaker 1: What was?

Speaker 1: What was the guy?

Speaker 1: The other guys named Mahogan's heroes.

Speaker 1: When he shows up in this, this movie, you know?

Speaker 1: Clink, so I can think of, so I can think of the main boss the main boss and Hogan's heroes.

Speaker 1: Um when?

Speaker 1: he shows up in this.

Speaker 1: It's not him, but he looks just like him.

Speaker 1: All is missing is the monocle.

Speaker 1: You know, and he's surprised me, the leader of this, this troop that's supposed to be Nazi's, I guess, cause he's dressed in a very SS uniform for no reason in this movie.

Speaker 2: Very much yeah.

Speaker 1: He comes to play his intentions.

Speaker 1: Basically said that they will live together, but you know you're going to give everything to us as far as, like this, this power plant goes, because you know much like.

Speaker 1: Paul Stanley said in the shocker song you know we want the power.

Speaker 1: That was for Suzanne, by the way, she hates when I do that, yeah.

Speaker 1: They want the power of it, much like you know, in in, in Mad Max too, where they want the, they want the gas that may or may not exist.

Speaker 1: In Mad Max too, you know.

Speaker 2: I mean, and he stands up and goes, we are the new order, and so they're just going big whoop, you know it's like we saw you mother fuckers last week, you know.

Speaker 1: Yeah, no surprise here.

Speaker 1: They're obviously prepared for it to come, because they're literally come out guns blazing and they do get a few of them, including the homeboys, homeboys, girlfriend on the motorcycle, which I think was a nice oh yeah, nice Mad Max to throw back, except she didn't get a boomerang in the head.

Speaker 2: She just gets shot between the eyes and that's the guy that's driving the bike who ends up being the second henchman.

Speaker 2: Here is catch dog, and he's the guy that was trying to rape the girl earlier, that was in the Rangers team.

Speaker 2: Now he's.

Speaker 2: He's the bad guy, or he's the second in command of the bad guys.

Speaker 2: So he's the Darth Vader of this movie.

Speaker 1: Yeah, but after this happens, though of course you know, did they come out and a farmer or father, whatever their guy's name is?

Speaker 1: I forgot.

Speaker 1: I forgot most of these names in this movie.

Speaker 1: The guy in the overall, it don't matter.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it don't matter.

Speaker 1: He tries to beat the hero, mr Green jeans.

Speaker 1: Mr Green jeans tries to be the hero After attending, I guess, the whatever fields or power fields or everything else are going on in this fucking place, you know, because it's very important but it's not very well protected, obviously, and he gets shot and killed, unfortunately leaving his family, you know, and this is when the Rangers come in and, you know, do their thing, which is easily the best part about this movie.

Speaker 1: You know, because they get away with, they leave the child behind, right.

Speaker 2: Well, the girl gets sold, the blunt head girl, they kill Al Clavver.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: And they take her away, and then they go and find her and it's at this, and it's, it's in this country, in Western Bar.

Speaker 2: Yes, yes.

Speaker 1: Yes, the most random part about this movie is this Western bar or just to remind you, we're in Texas, right?

Speaker 1: Texas and not Lee Van Cleef is playing Russian roulette at the bar for fun.

Speaker 1: Yep.

Speaker 2: Yeah, we got the same from the deer hunter going on here where the two guys are at the poker table playing Russian roulette and obviously you know your main bad guy, you know does something to the gun to where it shoots the other guy.

Speaker 2: And then our main hero, peter Hooten, here, whose name is what?

Speaker 2: Helicon.

Speaker 1: Yes, that sounds about right, helicon.

Speaker 1: I tried to read that name, but it sounds about right.

Speaker 2: And he goes up against this guy and makes a bet to win the girl and he realizes there's a trick to it.

Speaker 2: He sees what the guy's doing and of course it's one of those things.

Speaker 2: Right, there's that when he tricks him and makes the bad guy and shooting himself, so he gets the girl and but at the same time, with all this happening, there's a big brawl.

Speaker 2: That happens.

Speaker 2: Then the sheriff and everybody shows up and they catch these guys.

Speaker 2: There's, there's what, two of them that's in the bar, uh, jab and Helicon.

Speaker 2: Helicon's at the table, jab's standing around ready to jump into action, and it ends up getting a little squirrely and then the sheriff and everybody comes in and takes those two guys and puts them in prison.

Speaker 2: It has them like working in an assault mine, yeah, this is like huh, what locations can we use around here?

Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just, let's go from this to that.

Speaker 2: It'll work just fine.

Speaker 1: You know, we got those big rocks, so let's do something with those.

Speaker 1: And uh, but boy do they.

Speaker 2: you know, in this, movie and we've got, uh, red Wolf who just he's always around but you never see him, right he's.

Speaker 2: He's like Michael Myers.

Speaker 2: He just kind of stays back and never, never with the pack, because he knows if something happens they're all captured.

Speaker 2: And he's kind of like the cat on Hong Kong food.

Speaker 2: He always just ended up saving the day, right, yeah.

Speaker 1: He is kind of like that I'm the present thing that's hanging around this movie until he comes into play much later, in a much bigger way, with their with their fancy shields.

Speaker 1: They um, they, they, they, they, they, they.

Speaker 1: Uh, overcome those fancy shields.

Speaker 1: We'll talk about that for sure, yeah.

Speaker 2: So, yeah, red Wolf comes in and breaks them out of prison and, uh, they regroup and they're, they're heading back to fight for the power plant and win it back and also get this girl's daughter that they've been separated from and they're running to guess what folks Indians- yes in 2020, after the world's been destroyed.

Speaker 2: There's Indians with TPs.

Speaker 1: Which is kind of wonderful if you think about it, is 2020.

Speaker 1: You know, the natives have taken back their land in Texas.

Speaker 1: You know they take it from Mexico, apparently because that was Mexican land.

Speaker 1: Then you know, I said, fuck it, man, this is our land now.

Speaker 2: I don't know if it's wonderful or not.

Speaker 1: It cashers and it's like you know the whole western thing.

Speaker 1: Yes, it's not great, but I will compare it to.

Speaker 1: You know, 10 bears and Josie Wales, you know.

Speaker 1: And then that relationship.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're obviously pulling from other resources as far as building this story.

Speaker 2: They're just mixing it all together and hopefully, it works.

Speaker 1: It does play into the the finale of this movie, though.

Speaker 1: So I would give absolutely I will give it to them to say you know that, um, these two get together, red Wolf and then, and our hero was a Helicon, halcyon, halcyon, batteries on it.

Speaker 1: These guys, guys name is Just together, and, of course, um, they had this whole conversation about will they have guns?

Speaker 1: We just have bozeros.

Speaker 1: What's that gonna do?

Speaker 2: We find out a lot of early.

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, cuz you can throw a spear and it'll go right through with them.

Speaker 2: Shields yes.

Speaker 1: The bullets won't go through it.

Speaker 1: No, bullets are impenetrable.

Speaker 2: But you know if anybody listening can tell me how that works.

Speaker 2: Let me have it, because I'm.

Speaker 2: My ears are open.

Speaker 2: I want to believe, but I just don't know that I do their fancy riot gear is Improvious to guns that make great.

Speaker 1: I have to say this this is one of the cheapest things that I've seen about this movie, and now this would be my work.

Speaker 1: I'm leaving there for my what would you did thing because you know the sound design of this movie.

Speaker 1: But, um, the noise these guns make is freaking, wild as hell.

Speaker 1: It is a pencil to to, to, to to bullet fire.

Speaker 1: But when, when they bust in with these wonderful natives with their bows and arrows and spears and they're just like Shooting them in the air like their elves and my motor or something, yeah, you know, yeah, this is just everybody and you know you kind of yeah, because, like you know what the white man is not getting done, let's do it, let's hear for the friggin natives you know I love it, you know.

Speaker 2: So, yeah, you get this crazy collaboration of these teams get together and fighting this evil, even though the Indians Do they have any beef with these people.

Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, they're just kind of out on their own thing, right.

Speaker 2: They just really hate, sort of not just a thing, but they say the bad guys name.

Speaker 2: They're like count us there, you know, and you know they have no beef.

Speaker 2: This guy Well, we'll go help you, cuz you know we ain't nothing else to do cuz we're Indians.

Speaker 1: Imagine that you know, now these people have helped them, that they're gonna share their resources with them and and live in peace, because I'd imagine that's what's gonna happen next.

Speaker 2: But just like the white man did the first time around, right?

Speaker 1: Yeah, I did that the first time around for sure.

Speaker 1: But I would like to imagine a more conclusion to what happens here.

Speaker 1: You know, because they're Italian, but I love the idea, the idea that they make some like they've been going to like Rambo mode in a way, because when they retreat to the retreat to the mountains, you know when they're in their fancy.

Speaker 1: You know cars, vehicle and who's really tired of.

Speaker 1: Colonel Hogan at this point says you know, you go, go to the mountains and get these people.

Speaker 1: And the guy basically says you know, they're Rangers, you know which is it?

Speaker 1: Take a whole lot more than that.

Speaker 1: All I can hear is a Colonel Shroutman saying about Rambo oh, you're gonna need to the fresh supply of body bags, you know.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah the thing, when he, when he thinks that he killed, he thinks he killed him off, he says I want to see the body.

Speaker 2: He said that'd be hard to do, I might could scrape him up with my knife and that guy just bust out in that laugh, yeah, I mean, it's just like come on, guys, it's just no proof.

Speaker 1: You know he's gonna come back and bite him in the butt again.

Speaker 1: Come on, you know right, right.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the.

Speaker 2: The smart plan for for these bad guys was we got all the people that we want captured down here in this, in this valley.

Speaker 2: You know there's mountain side and there's only like four of them, but you know how we'll kill them an avalanche it works.

Speaker 1: It works for him.

Speaker 1: It's very small avalanche, you know, but it works for him.

Speaker 1: You know how does he kick off that avalanche.

Speaker 1: I forgot.

Speaker 2: Now I can just watch this today too, Do they like I think I just had some dynamite and they placed it in places and they shot it with a gun and they explode.

Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's what happened.

Speaker 1: I remember the dynamite, them, them, lighting a particular one, one stick of dynamite and, yeah, making something explode.

Speaker 1: Real good in this movie.

Speaker 2: And this is another thing too, because we get the space-aged car.

Speaker 2: I'm doing quotation marks here because it's that typical car that we see in these type of movies, where they try to Hide that it's an actual modern car.

Speaker 2: They changed the body style and they painted a different color and put spikes all over it.

Speaker 2: You know it's that kind of thing, but they do absolutely nothing to the motorcycles and you go well, look there, that's a Honda.

Speaker 2: Then there goes a Suzuki.

Speaker 2: You know, so this is like Again, you know it's those details.

Speaker 2: You're like that's that's the things that end up hurting these kind of movies.

Speaker 2: Because you're like, why is everybody riding dirt bikes?

Speaker 2: But all the vehicles have to be specialized?

Speaker 2: You know, like they're from a different time and these bikes are straight up 1983, you know.

Speaker 1: It is one of the better action set piece of the movie, though, where they're driving around the convertible, the here comes, these motorcycles come out of the woodwork and they're doing these balker stunts on these bikes that you know.

Speaker 1: Just look unsafe, yeah, which there's no, there's no doubt.

Speaker 2: I mean again, you remember, this is Italian.

Speaker 2: Yes, so they're like.

Speaker 2: Well, do you have a pad for me to fall on when I, you know, jump off the bike up in the air 20 feet?

Speaker 2: No, no, the ground will be soft enough.

Speaker 2: That's what I love about these flicks, man, the safety.

Speaker 2: Yeah, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2: Tuck it roll, boy.

Speaker 2: Tuck it roll.

Speaker 2: That's it.

Speaker 2: That's it.

Speaker 2: We paid you to do a job.

Speaker 1: Well, throw these, these cushions on your shoulders so you make sure you bump right, like in wrestling.

Speaker 1: Make sure you bump right, son, you know.

Speaker 2: What can I wear helmet?

Speaker 2: Well, how's everybody gonna know who you are if you're wearing a helmet?

Speaker 2: So no, you can't.

Speaker 1: Oh, precisely, precisely.

Speaker 1: You know, it just sounds too safe and this is the kind of movie like safety is just thrown out the window right but I'd imagine they shot these, these, these scenes on the rocks and like real desert locations because it looks good.

Speaker 1: That's probably some of the stuff.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's legit.

Speaker 2: That's definitely shot on location.

Speaker 2: There's there's no argument there.

Speaker 2: You know Just the things in question is you know the fact that you, you're going through all this and the only thing that's really they decided they wanted this to be a Western in the middle of Mad Max, and that's where you get the cowboy bar.

Speaker 2: That's even got like Atari console games over in the corner.

Speaker 2: I mean, you got thick.

Speaker 2: It's like defender or something going on.

Speaker 2: It's just that thing of not reaching out beyond.

Speaker 2: You know the time frame of the current.

Speaker 2: You know you want things to look futuristic, but all you got is modern technology, you know.

Speaker 1: Speaking of the current, I'm asking real electrical current.

Speaker 1: Here is my favorite scene of the movie, when they are invading the power plant and they shoot to the console, I guess where power is controlled and the guy just starts like dancing against the thing.

Speaker 1: It just looks really bad.

Speaker 1: That's my favorite acting of the entire movie right there, you know.

Speaker 2: Man.

Speaker 2: But yeah, you get a showdown with Red Wolf and that gladiator looking dude.

Speaker 2: That's the other big, you know kind of big burly guy.

Speaker 2: Yeah, just like he'd be, I don't know, working for Shredder.

Speaker 1: Tonight I died on Ranger soup.

Speaker 1: But I'm sure a little little SS would love some some ranger soup at this point.

Speaker 1: But he keeps getting foiled, you know, by the native center spears and in bows and arrows, like damn, we never knew this could penetrate our shields, like yeah, but it's doing it now, jack you know.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what did you test these shields with?

Speaker 2: I mean being that I'm sure that After the engineers built those, that somebody probably said you know?

Speaker 2: You know, I like the design of the shield, but you're kind of missing something all in the middle.

Speaker 2: Oh, don't worry, it's a force field.

Speaker 2: Oh, okay.

Speaker 1: Yeah, they have class for armor that is penitrable to their, their entire weapons and you know but the native weapons not so much.

Speaker 1: Like I said, my favorite thing is about the plot points.

Speaker 1: This film is that the natives finally get a one-up in this movie.

Speaker 1: It doesn't happen too often in films like this right, right, yeah.

Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's again.

Speaker 2: They just, uh, you know, shoot the arrows, throw the spears right through the shields, knocking off the black hole soldiers.

Speaker 2: It's, it's fun.

Speaker 1: They gots to go, man.

Speaker 1: You know, man, oh man, are we?

Speaker 1: Uh, we dove in Bob Buncheburg going to on this one, I think.

Speaker 1: Any final things you want to say about it, ricky?

Speaker 1: Yeah, 2020 Texas Gladiators.

Speaker 2: Again to all the people that are, you know, dr Movie people or whatever.

Speaker 2: If you like these Italian flicks I've been covering, then, yeah, you got to check this one out because it's just as ridiculous, makes about as much sense as I don't know Well any of the other ones.

Speaker 2: But again, there is, there is such a charm to these.

Speaker 2: Yes, you are watching a ripoff of other movies that are better, but there's always this originality that pops up in these things.

Speaker 2: That Amazes me and it could be the most ridiculous thing, like a shield that you can, you know, have opened and shoot bullets and it didn't do anything but you can throw a spear through it.

Speaker 2: Um, you know, you're not going to see anything you haven't really seen before in this one, except for, except for those kind of details.

Speaker 2: Uh, it scattered, it kind of threw me off.

Speaker 2: I actually watched this one twice just so I knew what was going on.

Speaker 2: And uh, you know, it's fun.

Speaker 2: It's fun, it's.

Speaker 2: You know, if you're home sick day from work, throw this joker on and watch it.

Speaker 2: Oh, it's also called in game, I think, like on 2b and stuff like that.

Speaker 2: If you see a movie called an in game, it's the same thing as this?

Speaker 2: I believe so.

Speaker 2: But yeah, you know me, I love the Italian stuff, I ain't got a problem with it, and uh, sebran put this on 4k or blu-ray, one of the two.

Speaker 1: It looks really good on the sebran disc I hear so.

Speaker 2: And and my question there is why why?

Speaker 2: I mean there's some movies to me that just need to stay grainy and ugly, because it really Makes it better.

Speaker 2: I think if you clean some of these films up, it kind of hurts them.

Speaker 1: I have seen I will say this about this film I have seen Films that have executed, executed this, this, this, this concept, this mad max ripoff thing.

Speaker 1: A lot worse in this movie, I mean it's oh yeah, it's really a smorgasbord of different genres, but you know what that's?

Speaker 1: That's what like Italian cinema is for some of this stuff Just mixing stuff together to see what sticks, and it's it it doesn't all stick in this movie, but I can.

Speaker 1: I can recommend it because it's out there and there's a lot of stuff going on and it it comes to a I say a satisfying conclusion.

Speaker 1: You know it doesn't just end.

Speaker 1: I I could mean so many films that are supposedly good, films that just like end.

Speaker 1: Let's stand in your movie.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's.

Speaker 1: This one really doesn't do that.

Speaker 1: You know you got this.

Speaker 1: You got good guys and bad guys.

Speaker 1: You know good guys Come and save the day.

Speaker 1: You know, with some help.

Speaker 1: Like I said, it's joe z Wales.

Speaker 1: In the end, although 10 bears is really doing, he's kind of kind of stands there with it with his uh, his troops is saying staring, saying yep, we're here for you, joe z the seven samurai, it's Y'all, it's, it's what's part of the west, I mean.

Speaker 2: It's magnificent seven, I mean.

Speaker 1: So many.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's that standard setup so many genres.

Speaker 1: I love it, though I'm sorry.

Speaker 2: No, no, you're going.

Speaker 2: I'm just interrupting.

Speaker 1: No, I'm interrupting you.

Speaker 1: I apologize.

Speaker 1: No, not one bit but, uh, this, this is the fun part of the show, I think, because this is a wacky film.

Speaker 1: And, uh, this is, this is for our friends.

Speaker 1: We love, we love each other.

Speaker 1: If I could fight again.

Speaker 1: If you're listening to the show, you have crew cremation episodes archive summary on your computer.

Speaker 1: Uh, send it to one of us please.

Speaker 1: I'll, I'll, I'll even put them out on the feed, just so you guys can listen to them.

Speaker 1: Um, to the look what you did.

Speaker 2: No, no, I was just gonna say that he was in the process of trying to put all the old shows back together and move them over to Legion when, when everything happened, so I'd finally convinced him to, to, you know, move all of this stuff over and start anew.

Speaker 2: I mean, he was planning to, you know, he'd already Wrote out his first episode coming back.

Speaker 1: So yeah, so this is for you, johnny, so this the segment is for you for sure, the look what you did segment.

Speaker 2: Look what your brother did to that star.

Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got no Friday's home.

Speaker 2: You're damn fool.

Speaker 2: You're ruining the door.

Speaker 1: Now, ricky, in this movie, if you could think of, you know, the most outrageous thing you could think of in this movie.

Speaker 1: Um, and there's a lot about ragesness in this movie.

Speaker 1: What would that one thing or that one c&b.

Speaker 2: You know, we we beat the shield thing to death, which I think, far and beyond, is probably the biggest.

Speaker 2: Look what you did.

Speaker 2: But let's talk about this.

Speaker 2: She's on the bad people's teams, not Gerrida, it's, uh, the other girl that's got this open top outfit on that.

Speaker 2: Her boobs are just sticking out of it, like it's designed that way.

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one, the one with the pasty.

Speaker 1: The one pasty I was talking about.

Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, because you know she's a baddie, she's wrong around, she's got this leather piece on, but it's like when do you consider this to be safe?

Speaker 2: You know, is it just another excuse to show more skin?

Speaker 2: Because it's really not that effective, and I don't know it.

Speaker 2: It kind of bothered me.

Speaker 1: I have a theory for that, and I did it especially for the movie.

Speaker 1: I have a theory for that, and I did it especially warm in the wasteland.

Speaker 1: Obviously, the sun's constantly blazing.

Speaker 1: You know, maybe she chafed in that one boob, I don't know.

Speaker 1: I just kind of had to hang there for a while.

Speaker 2: Just some weird choices.

Speaker 2: It seems like everywhere that our heroes went, there's some chicks sitting there with one boob hanging out.

Speaker 2: I mean, that's just that's.

Speaker 2: That's the future, folks.

Speaker 1: That's the future.

Speaker 1: I mean even, uh, I think at this time in the, in the in the 80s, or like even into the 90s, you had boobs on the, on the local news in Italy, so I guess it's not that bashful, oh no, no, I mean that they were a lot more open about that stuff.

Speaker 2: They were, they were more, they were more back off of you know, actually more of the violent stuff than anything else.

Speaker 2: Yeah maybe not them, maybe more uk.

Speaker 1: Yeah, my look, what you did is the sound design of this movie.

Speaker 1: I mean, it's all over the place.

Speaker 1: Especially the firefights are the weirdest thing in the world Because you hear these rifles going off and a lot of it sounds like bulls, but all of a sudden you hear like a ray gun in there somewhere and like they're on GI Joe, but nobody has these kind of guns.

Speaker 1: So if you're watching it, you're listening to it.

Speaker 1: It makes it more outrageous that you hear this weird sound design mixed in, and a lot of stuff is crazy in this movie.

Speaker 1: Ricky mentioned that and my look, what you did is something I mentioned already the guy doing his electricity dance when he gets pushed up against the broken power supply thing Because it is something to behold.

Speaker 1: That is some great electrified dancing.

Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, so good.

Speaker 2: And that's the part where the second in command guy, when they're trying to get away, is in the chaos of everything at the end, and then he jumps out and goes don't shoot, it's just me.

Speaker 2: And then he gets shot.

Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this was fun, rick.

Speaker 1: Thank you, man.

Speaker 1: I hope all of my choices will like this.

Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be some real stinkers in there, but I'll try not to make it so.

Speaker 1: We'll try to do it together.

Speaker 2: But if it's not slightly bad words to find talking about, usually when shows like this it's just that's what I loved about, you know, this format of you roll the dice right.

Speaker 2: Even if it's really bad, you can still have fun talking about it, and that's I don't know.

Speaker 2: That's the thing I never could convince Danny about with hell.

Speaker 2: Me is like you know, you know what our biggest downloaded episode was, king Cobra, the worst movie we covered, because people want to go oh man, I got to hear him talk about that because everybody's talked about escape from New York and I mean, you know and you have, you feel like you have to do them, but it's those oddball things like this that you know makes for a great show, because a lot of times it's even harder to describe.

Speaker 2: That's the reason I had Bat Crap crazy just a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to even say what happens in those movies, and this is kind of the same way.

Speaker 1: How do you describe a shield that's no shield, you know if you watch I think you did Carnosaur, didn't you on your show Dr movie.

Speaker 2: Those were hard to watch.

Speaker 1: It's like you watched that first one.

Speaker 1: It's just this little floppy little dinosaur puppy Like how is this threatening?

Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm going to keep on watching this, you know?

Speaker 1: Yeah, so they noted the ginger dead man on their show is like torture for their co-host.

Speaker 2: It's like yes it is torturous.

Speaker 1: There are worse things than Carnosaur, and the ginger dead man series is one of them.

Speaker 2: I agree.

Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2: Yep, we got to catch the premiere of ginger dead man versus evil bong.

Speaker 2: There you go.

Speaker 2: It takes us, frat man, and I can't say that I'm proud that I got to see it.

Speaker 1: Charlie Bay, if you're listening to this show, I love you.

Speaker 1: I respect many things you do.

Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

Speaker 1: You do, but yeah he's still out there hustling.

Speaker 1: I mean, they're not stuff I would enjoy, but the fact that you made a movie and it got made, you know, more power to you, okay.

Speaker 2: Absolutely.

Speaker 1: Because people I think is his strength of his films is built on people paying for the streaming service and if you go to full moon streaming, it's like an advertisement for more streaming.

Speaker 1: I apologize.

Speaker 1: I apologize because there's stuff on there besides full moon stuff.

Speaker 1: They have the whole grind house label on there, so in a way it's more like the unsung hero of shutter If you want to go check it out.

Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff on there.

Speaker 1: It's not full moon stuff, but I respect them for making movies, sure.

Speaker 2: And he's made some ones that I really like and he's made a bunch that I'm like yeah, no thanks.

Speaker 2: But hey, I can say that about everybody.

Speaker 1: Some species.

Speaker 1: Five looks really good, though, and I'm very excited to watch it.

Speaker 1: It looks like he's going back to theatrical roots, and I think Cameron is going to go see at the Chicago draft house Cool, I'm very excited for him to go see it on the big screen, which is something else too.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: Full moon on the big screen, so he's really pushing it.

Speaker 1: He's really pushing the subspecies film and the trailer looks very.

Speaker 1: If you watch the trailer, ricky, it looks very impressive.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it does look very impressive.

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of a return to form.

Speaker 1: But the next film we're going to do on this show and I'm very excited.

Speaker 1: This is a film that I got from the flea market from a friend of mine my friend I've known for many years when he sell bootlegs on VHS.

Speaker 1: That's how long ago I go with this movie, directed by Stephen Chow, starring Stephen Chow, the great martial artist, 2001's Shaolin soccer.

Speaker 1: So if you guys want to watch Shaolin soccer, you can watch it on Paramount Plus apparently You're looking at it right now and your cheaper plots.

Speaker 1: Synopsis is a young Shaolin follower reunites with his discouraged brothers, the former soccer team, using their martial arts skills to their advantage.

Speaker 1: Now, if I had described this film in the best way, take a movie about a soccer team that has Dragon Ball Z type powers, okay, like lighten the ball on fire, kick it into the goal and stuff like that.

Speaker 1: Really wild stuff.

Speaker 1: And I'm glad to share this with you, ricky, because you never seen it before.

Speaker 1: I'm excited for you to watch this yeah it's going to be fun.

Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1: It's one of those ones that I just got from my bootleg guy because it didn't exist here yet and this, and like I got better way out from him for I think like four or five years for the USC, but knew about it.

Speaker 1: You know, I got him and man love this kind of cinema and I'm looking forward to talking about with you Awesome and next episode of Look what you Did.
