Thor's 1988 Movie: So Bad It's Good Movie Reviews

[theJOSHsketches]

THE DAD FROM GOOD LUCK CHARLIE IS THOR!!!!!!!!!

[Tripo1iSamson]

eh, still looks better than the new Thor

[kepochi1]

"From an accidental overdose of gamma radiation..."

an accidental overdose of gamma radiation would kill a man. and i want to know what the FUCK he was doing exposing himself to gamma radiation?! what the fuck was he thinking?

[Kenanee]

@kepochi1 the fact that it didn't kill him is what made him the hulk. His wife was killed in a car accident that caught on fire. He was unable to help her, so he began research into adrenalin induced miraculous moments where a mother would become superhuman as in lifting a car to save her child trapped underneath. He found that in each case involved one common denominator high levels of gamma rays. So, he tried it on himself, however exposed himself at too high of a dosage resulting in the Hulk

[kepochi1]

@Kenanee

wow

[ScribbleDreams]

LOVE the Airwolf reference.

[Falcarious]

Thor isnt blonde or fit at all, I know all the norse mythology, he is a redhead with wild hair and a wild beard and he has a 'wide' body.

[Schattenninpo]

Hey, I loved this movie! 

[nemesisuprising]

thanks for flexing at the end guys, now there a fukin helicopter in my backyard -_-

[mistergrin]

Does anybody know from which movie the clip in the intro with a gigantic turtle and a tiny yellow submarine? I kind of want to see it.

[5taEspadaDR]

were si the music from..the intro one XD??

[attheyouvies]

Was that Charles Napier in that helicopter clip?

[MulToyVerse]

You have to remember that the maker of the Hulk series dumbed down his strength and powers to appeal to female viewers, who prefered the drama rather than comic book stuff. They did the same with Thor. Blame the female viewers!

[Omboth]

@MulToyVerse We never asked for dumbed down superheroes. The more outrageous they are, the more fun they are, in my opinion.

[MulToyVerse]

@Omboth I happen to agree with you.

[Kenanee]

@MulToyVerse no, that's what David Banner was for, not the Hulk or super powers, It a TV budget that is more the culprit not to mention this was how they did TV back then and Hulk was the most powerful thing around.

[MulToyVerse]

@Kenanee I do agree with you there, but both the producer, Keny, and Bill Bixby, were originally not for doing the series unless they make it dramatic and poinant and such.

[egunsal]

@iampenmushee It's actually Donald Blake.

[Pooledogg]

Check out best of the best 2

[Gatortheraider96]

Airwolf ..THATS AWESOME

[runepainter]

After the Hulk TV show there were 3 Hulk made for TV movies. To generate interest in reviving the Hulk on TV they included Thor and in the follow up movie they introduced Daredevil. The best of the 3 was Death of the Incredible Hulk which had a good love story and some decent writing. I believe at the time Bill Bixby was interested in doing more Hulk films after Death of the Incredible Hulk, but he sadly passed away in '93.

[MulToyVerse]

@runepainter There was going to be a fourth movie in which the Hulk would finally speak. This was told by Lou Ferigno in an interview for the DVD of the Pilot and Marriage episodes. Weird that Bill couldn't do it because of his health but could still direct episodes of Blossum.

[iamapenmushee]

HAHA he said david banner lol. mixed up david blake and bruce banner and he thinks he smart.

[FrzaFrank]

@iamapenmushee his name was "David Banner" in the t.v. series.

[Fbiguy]

its a big deal that thor's hammer can smash what?

[OakTheDestroyer]

i wish i didn't have hear there description of the video that we (the audience) , should be watching. sidenote: laughing at your own lame jokes, does not make them funny.

[tiaaaa123]

less talking.. more image

[guzenfox]

<3 Rusty

[MultiKee10]

A god to a viking, wtf, whered did they get that idea

[CarcosanNoble]

Repeat-a-tron.

[xoddopicikokot]

yo guys...you look sooo gay, even the way you smile on each other its gay.

[HighFlyActionGuy]

@xoddopicikokot i wonder what its like to have no close male friends. can you tell me?

[egon90123]

I wonder if they'd review 'The Trial of the Incredible Hulk' which had the first live action appearance of Daredevil.

[andyet1]

its a kids movie from 88, easy target if u ask me

[darkilustrisimus]

I remember hulk was deflecting bullets with a thrash can

[Kuukkelix]

If you're doing any requests, i got a perfect movie for you: 'Hercules' from 1983, It stars Lou Ferrigno from the Hulk series, it's BAD.

[tiochaota]

rofl he goes angry because he lost grip of the spanner omg im rolling on the floor hahahahah!

[noahkaiba]

Hey rusty, when are you guys coming out with a NEW TECH KNOW!?!?!?!

[numberoneandahalf]

The opening music is from the Geometry Warz game..

[uselessman73]

This video was so bad..... the review just badly done, they remind me of high school kids. It's easy to make fun of 20 year old movies with our modern day perspective. Technology, special effects, culture changes and popular styles of story telling change, back then it was all we had & TV networks were a lot more conservative. This is still 20 times better than any original movie from Syfy. Review something made within the last 5 years and I'll take you more seriously.

[sypher113]

@uselessman73

All we had, really? Uhh I'm going to call bullshit on this one. You don't need modern special effects and all that to make a good film. Just because the movie was made 20 years ago doesn't mean it wasn't a bad movie then and now. Planet of the apes, 2001 a space odyssey, apocalypse now, the godfather, and star wars episode IV are all from around the same period. Any one of these classics and more could wipe It's ass with our "modern" films.

[uselessman73]

@sypher113 It was all we had, there were no other Incredible Hulk or Thor TV or Movie incarnations - so if you're a fan, that was it... perspective I suppose.

[Dirtfire]

hey, they might be super-strong, but they're not super-heavy. I don't see a problem there. Compared to the Hulk tv show, though, this tv movie was pretty bad.

Watch the first episodes of the original Hulk tv show starring Bill Bixby. It was quite good.

[SwedishVikingPride]

Tor is the God of strenght! He's the giant slayer and the savior of Midgård!

[SwedishVikingPride]

They should have Magnus Samuelsson or Svend Karlsen play Tor.

[DisneyLoveLady]

I can totally see some people in the future watching a modern movie like the new Tron for example and laughing at the horrible special effects like these two are doing right now

[VarleyRaccoon]

Next, "So bad it's Good": Adam West's "Batman".

[Politicalboxers]

The Boxers think the new Thor will be much better!

[Reborn8303]

Have you Guys, seen the one that aired after this with Daredevil ?

[vanjogi]

back then this was great effects... especially for little kids.

[TheJCSM]

this movie really is soo bad it's good :) I'd have watched the spin off Thor show I was that big a fan as a kid lol

[Voltronkun]

Keep in mind Rusty, you can complain all you want but these were shows and tv movies made with thousand dollar budgets and limited effects. Unlike today where shows have multi-million dollar budgets and cgi. Lets see you make a better movie without that and then we'll how big you talk. Hell even with cgi and current software editing abilities available for the consumer, I've seen worse movies made now then Return of the Hulk.

[BigHickey25]

It's better then bad, IT'S GOOD!!! LOG, FROM BLAMO

[maxDH69]

its bad

[dadepoot]

Lou Ferrigno vs. Chuck Norris!!!

[Selden83]

David Banner was the name they gave the Hulk on the tv show, because they didnt want people to have him confused with Bruce Wayne.

[pandaman218907]

THe ending of your review made my day !

[MrDavondrick]

Alot of 1980's movies were awful and shouldve been buried and burned like RoboCop, Hulk, Thor, Rocky. Just to name a Few i hate 80's movies except star wars now that movie brought a revolution in movie making excpecialy SciFi. Just have to say some movies today just have incredible graphics compared to then movies today are like Gods.

[tcitalianguy]

@MrDavondrick what about back to the future.

[MrDavondrick]

@tcitalianguy That movie was alright just boring to watch it did not catch my attention much.

[MrDavondrick]

@tcitalianguy Wait wat am i saying i hated back to the future sorry.

[Smokedizz]

they called him David Banner because they couldnt get the licensing rights

same reason they changed thor from a god to a viking because if you change just one little detail anything goes and they dont have to dish out the big bucks

[VanargrandsEnd]

The Room is the single greatest movie that is so bad its good

[TITI3160]

that guy who plays Thor is on Disney good luck charlie.

[jarbon5]

You guys are right about this movie, it was just NOT good. Can't remember it too well cuz I haven't seen it in about 2 decades, but do remember that it was just to cheesy to be for real! As usual forTV networks when they try to take on something like the SuperHero genre, it just turns out very badly!

[xxmorph27xx]

During that era when the hulk tv show was on, the name Bruce was thought as a name for a man who might be or was gay. So they changed it to David.

[TheChaosThypon]

big grown up nerds

[jcgadfly]

I remember this movie. Did Thor come from Norse California?

[HighFlyActionGuy]

who the hell is david banner?

[ransax]

@HighFlyActionGuy lol. They must be thinking of Dr. Robert Bruce Banner.

[xxbauddrxx]

@HighFlyActionGuy the hulk

[HighFlyActionGuy]

@xxbauddrxx i know they think its the hulk, but his name was never david.

[xxbauddrxx]

@HighFlyActionGuy It was in the old t.v. show.

[ghettostuntabulious]

@HighFlyActionGuy yeah, he said it not once but twice. DAVID BANNER!!! i thought he was just a rapper but a physicist too. LoL!!!

[ThePeterrican]

@HighFlyActionGuy hes the hulk

[whatsmyname343]

@HighFlyActionGuy Its Bruce banners real name. Dr. David Bruce Banner

[mrsdkckr1]

@HighFlyActionGuy he's a rapper from jackson, ms.

[greedyrando]

@HighFlyActionGuy the people who created the show thought bruce was too gay sounding so they changed the name to david, at least thats what ive heard

[RanmaHikari]

@HighFlyActionGuy I feel old now. Marvel Tv series back then had a lot of liberties taken on them. I heard that they didn't even want to make the hulk green when they made this show. Anyway, it's still a really good series. It's kind of like a realistic hulk I guess. I grew up watching it as a kid.

[mojojodon]

@HighFlyActionGuy really?

[rusty]

@HighFlyActionGuy In an interview with Kevin Smith Stan Lee revealed that CBS changed Bruce Banner to David Banner because Bruce sounded too homosexual.

[HighFlyActionGuy]

@rusty Well that clears that up. But batman stayed Bruce Wayne, and he was pretty manly. He's even been defended by his writers.

[jpangili]

@rusty "Don't bring me doooooowwwwwnnnnnnn..........B­RUCE!

[apoco]

@rusty Haven't they heard of Bruce Wayne? Not exactly a homosexual name if you ask me.

[manofsteel33]

At least this Thor kept on his helmet for 99% of the movie!

[vv41zx]

They nerfed thor in 1988 I hope he gets buffed soon!

[goofy456123]

If you think "The Incredible Hulk Return's" was a bad movie, you are dumb!!

[masterj22]

no the flexing at the end just ruin my car!

[runningtortoise2]

hilarious, please keep it up Rusty

[BigoletchAsketch]

About time we see a movie from you're Rusty... *disappointed glare*

[rusty]

@BigoletchAsketch Keep your glaring disappointment coming and I'll try to keep the videos coming Big.

[giorgiv18]

@rusty got any more movies?

[rusty]

@giorgiv18 There's more on the way.

[cosmicorder2]

How about Terror of Mechagodzilla for the next review? It was bad in a cheesy way but funny in a cheesy way. My favorite line from a mad scientist yelling "They thought I was mad huh!?!?! Well I'll show them! Whahahahahaaaaa!!!" Immediately followed by: "Don't worry about me."

[Thrallsbuddy]

5th comment!

[BeanKitchen]

Hahahaha...... I have this on DVD. It is pretty bad. I think it's funny, but that's just me.

[MyInterwebs]

I don't really need to watch this movie any more after watching this video. Thanks guys ^_^

[mabmao2]

Must. See. Now.

[donovan1971]

I have never heard of that TV movie. Never been much of a Thor fan but I might just watch this Hulk show just for the angry flexing on a beach scene.
