I unironically love that movie. The original finale was going to have a creature that was passed the human stage of evolution. The Director felt like it was not epic enough for a finale. also this movie was originally designed to be a serious sci-fi thriller. that is why the science is so well thought out. good movie. Enjoyed it.

I feel like a lot of people are dismissive of evolution because it is a comedy. I have heard them call the finale stupid many times. I think that is because they are braced for it to be stupid. It is absurd but it is not stupid.

Also, the other cellular and molecular differences in an organism with ten base pairs in its DNA would be interesting to say the least. I'm not a proteomics expert but the protein possibilities, and ergo intracellular pathways etc, would be worth an entire video itself. Awesome video as always by the way!

Love this movie. Its crazy how accurate the science was in a comedy

I love this movie cause it was made in my hometown of Page Arizona! I've hiked where the giant alien is before! The local community college is actually called Coconino Community College, while the scenes don't actually show the real college, its a lot smaller. The ending scenes took place on the playground of Lake View Primary School, and the caves they go through are actually there and house thousands of bats during their migrations every year. This movie is so cool to me, especially since every once in a while they show off Lake Powell in the background. However, we most definitely do not have a Mall, so guess its some fictional extra large Page Az. The very last scene of the dragon flying through what we call "The Cut" is really cool to me. As for the breakdown, I'd have never considered ammonia to be an analogous fill in for water for life. Its an interesting take. Guess its up there with the ideas of Silicone-based life, but at least the ammonia one has some real processes on Earth that we can prove happen in nature for metabolic pathways.

I used to watch this as a kid, and there's two things I remember the most. First, I was scared of the ape thing lol. Second, it bothered me how they called the flying thing in the mall a "bird" when it's clearly a straight up dragon.

@@melkerahtagadatsoin-tsoin6016 understandable. They're hilarious, brutal and just outright entertaining. I'd say you can always refer to the warhammer 40k wiki page but it tends to be a bit behind on current events. Luetin09 is probably the best KZread channel to check out about indepth information. The Adeptus Ridiculous channel and Bricky explain things more broadly. If you like something more like an audiobook checkout Baldermorts guide to warhammer channel with his ongoing Kronan the Cunning saga.

And they can psionically alter reality by lots of them believing things. Red vehicles are faster because everyone knows red's the fastest! Their technology can legitimately be fixed by hitting it a few times because everyone knows that's what you do to fix an engine. Actually, most of their tech shouldn't mechanically work in the first place but does because they believe "yeah, it's got lots of gauges and tubes and technical things, that's legit!". I've heard they can achieve a type of cloaking by wearing purple because "Well have you ever SEEN an Ork wearing purple?! EXACTLY! It's the colour of stealth!" but I'm not sure if that's actual lore or fan meme fun. :P

I’ve been waiting for this one! In so many of these videos the biology is really, REALLY speculative due to how little information is provided, so I’ve been looking forward to hearing him talk about Evolution.

Evolution is absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. I was wondering if/when you'd cover it.

as a kid it always made me sad when this movie ended because I found all these new creatures evolving from scratch into new things so fascinating that I always thought the movie was too short because it left me wanting to see more about the creatures but it all ended always too quickly for me :c specially when they reach the primate stage, I wanted to keep learning about what they would be able to do next and what would happen when they reached human level, but then they died u.u maybe I could ignore the ending of this movie and connect the moment the primates break out from the caves in Evolution with the moment apes break out in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and have a full new movie

Personally, I'm not worried, given that alien microbes have probably spread through the groundwater, for sure a new evolution has begun in some unknown network of caves, perhaps even taking into account previous failures and in the future they will evolve into full-fledged Zerg)

Wait, wouldn't there be other isolated cases of these creatures happening in other areas of that Earth or did the other asteroids disintegrate while falling through Earths' atmosphere? That's something I've always wondered about because when we see the rock (I forgot what it's classification would be, sorry) breaks apart, there are a few sizable chunks hurling towards Earth, so maybe the TV show of this movie (yes it got its own TV show) wasn't as far off as some may expect. Also, side note, these things in the TV show developed an immunity too- . . shoot, forgot the name of the chemical in Head-N-Shoulders, um, that chemical and like any other 1990s-early 2000s cartoons, the crew had too kill these things with lasers and such.

This is not necessary, given how many alien microorganisms have entered the atmosphere and groundwater, now their species is permanently entrenched on Earth)

I know this video is old but I just found this channel. When he talks about "just look like you belong" when sneaking in somewhere, it reminds me of when my father once got into a Target on Black Friday before they opened because he wore a red button up and just walked in. He went to the toy aisle and moved some limited edition Star Wars toy he wanted from that aisle to like, the furniture aisle and hid it behind a bunch of stuff so he could come back and get it later.

I remember watching this when I was young, but it was so obscure for me that I started to believe it was my imagination. Thanks for showing me that I'm not crazy! Also love these vids!

I can not begin to describe my excitement at seeing you cover this underrated classic!

Huh so tactical nuking aliens is a good thing that’s sucks for the aliens

The most unrealistic part of this movie is a scientist being fired for a vaccine causing serious side effects.

FINALLY!! I've been wanting you to make a video on this movie for ages.

Oh, man, I'm so happy I found this video. I only remembered vague details about this movie and couldn't recall enough to find it - this was one of my childhood friend's favorite movies. I remember watching it with him on a weekend Halloween when we were in 1st or 2nd grade.

Really enjoy the idea of your videos. Not exactly my thing having you wal me through the whole film tho, so I appreciate the timestamps

bro, you helped me in some of my biology classes and i wanted to thank you you also know your cars too

Oh hell yeah! I got so excited when I saw the thumbnail for this video! Keep it up!!!

I saw this in theaters on my 17th birthday. This might be my favorite movie that you've done a video about!
