1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Good morning. Then when we're talking about movies that should

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: never be remade, you know, you maybe think about you

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: think about Jaws, you think about The Godfather. Maybe you

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: throw die Hard in there, and I reckon, eventually you'll

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: get to the Crow like it's for different reasons, Like

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's necessarily in the same category as

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: those all time classics. Yeah, you know, but the reality

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: is you had Brandon Lee, the star of the film,

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: son of the great Bruce Lee, who literally died during

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: the production. There was a mishap with a prop gun

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: on set. It fired an actual bullet into his abdomen,

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: and he died in the middle of a scene, which

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: created such a pop cultural moment in the mid nineties,

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: The film, with its gothic undertones overtones, became really a

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: cult classic, as anybody who lived through the nineties would remember.

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: And for those reasons, you probably just don't touch it,

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Like it's kind of area that you just would leave alone, right, Yeah,

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: disrespectful perhaps, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And some people might

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: say they made standalone sequels with different cast members. They've

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: had computer games, they've had other comic books, So it's

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: not as if the franchise has kind of been gathering

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: dust for the last you know, we have over thirty

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: years they have been doing stuff. But to do a

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: full reboot where you're recasting Brandon Lee's character, this time

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: with Bill scars Guard arguably the least talented of the

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 1: scars Guards after his dad, Stella and Alexander. Yeah, it

27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: feels a bit icky and the only reason they're doing it,

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: of course, is to make money. Yeah, Unfortunately it hasn't

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: made me money. Did you see what the original director

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: said about that? He said, as a cash grab, no

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: cash to grab as it seems rejoicing. Yeah. Yeah. So

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Alex Broyce is an Australian director who did the first

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: movie and he went on and did I Robot and

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: some some other interesting films after The Crow, and yeah,

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: he has been completely disparaging of this reboot from the start.

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: The reviews have come out of America, they've all been terrible.

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: It made something like four point six million dollars in

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: its opening weekend, which is to put that in perspective,

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: that would make it one of the biggest box office

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: bombs of the year. Even Madam Webb made about eighteen

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: million dollars and We've spoken about Madam Webb, which was

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible movie The Crow is with This version

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: of The Crow is worse. You've Got It kind of

44
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: follows the storyline of the original. You have this guy,

45
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Eric Draven and his girlfriend who's played by the musician

46
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Fka Twigs. They get murdered by these crooks. He comes

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: kind of back to life to avenge her death and

48
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: get the people who responsible for her death. So very

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: similar from that perspective, but the details of twist but

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. There's more supernatural element where you know,

51
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: there's kind of like some demons and I don't know,

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: it's it's not really worth digging into too deeply because

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: the plot is terrible, the CG effects are terrible, the

54
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: performances are terrible. Bill Scarsguard This made me wonder if

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: he can even act. Really very very average. It's been

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: directed by Rupert Sanders, who is probably most famous for

57
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: the affair that he had with Kristen Stewart. Yeah, when

58
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: they were making Snow White and the Huntsman. You know,

59
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: it's yeah, Like the soundtrack is interesting. That's probably the

60
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: best thing I'll say about it. Like You've Got Joy

61
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: division Gary Newman and so some great songs from back

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: in the day. Yeah, but you know that just provided yeah, yeah, exactly,

63
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: it's two hours long. Your wish it over? You know,

64
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: do you just sit there really praying, praying for death yourself?

65
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Everything we've heard this way? Ben? Heck, can I not

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: kid c g I right in twenty twenty four it's weird.

67
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I know. I spent like they spent

68
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars on it, so if they did it

69
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: on a low budget. But no, this is this is

70
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: an absolute abomination. All right, Well, how many course are

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: you giving it? I'm going to give it one. I'm

72
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: going to give it one. What Oh it's a stinker,

73
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: a stinky one. Very lucky, very lucky to even get that.

74
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: So a murder of crows that should have been murdered. Yeah,

75
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, get it. Get about this one. Thank you,

77
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,040
