Blade didn't exist until 1998, Steel was 1997 and, Blank Man was garbage, but still came out a year after Meteor Man.

Most people remember those existing whether they saw them or not.

So again for the black community this really stands out. Yeah the humor is iffy which I think is sorta MCU lite. I can see how it's a bit of an acquired taste. If we could have gotten Blankman and Meteor Man into a movie together..... If this film was done today, better cgi and a script tweaking would help it.

It may grab a cult following decades later, but for a lot of folks its part of their culture.

Or this was probably the first movie they had seen don Cheadle or Tiny Lister. Now that last dragon got a rerelease, i wonder if it willl build a cult following now

Even if you like or love a movie he's putting down in his reviews, many of his subs know by now that he's just doing what he started this channel for, which is to put out more acknowledgment about these mostly forgotten movies that deserve at least some attention today, despite not being all that well made. They still have at least a little something going on with them.

This is a awesome and silly movie, it is definitely one to watch when you're all commericaled out from MCU and DC Superheroes. I'm glad I have Meteorman on DVD. Great review, very funny and entertaining. You so totally rock Brandon.

I normally save these as workout videos but needed a bit of cheering up and decided to watch it. it hit the spot nicely.

Nice review, I was actually in this film as a sound tech, and extra.I knew Robert sense I was a teen and he was always cool and chill. On set and off.

I'm actually buying this now on Amazon ha $20, Love old gems like this! Reminds me of The Last Dragon

Classic, but was a kid when I watched it so loved it.

oh man i remember watching this sometime in the 90's and thinking it was cool

I remember watching this and Blankman in the 90s as a wee lad and enjoying them

Well, I liked it. And the book reading scene during the final fight was one of my favourite scenes. But yes, it might not be the best super-hero movies of all.

Never saw it, but I did read the novelization when it came out.

Man this is a funny coincidence I was looking up leonard part 6(don’t ask) and got reminded of this movie today. Finding out that was the movie brandon covered not long after, is kinda rad.

Thank you for taking my recommendation, it feels good and i enjoy seeing your take on them

Brandon uploads, I am excited!

Omg I loved this movies as a kid. This is a classic!!

This is a rare example of the movie that I watched as a kid, but I realized that around half way of the review. The lamp post scene was the key to the locked memories.

And everyone forgets about the TV series Mantis. And for the record, baggy suits were very popular in the 90's.

There were a lot of movies I'd rent so often as a child my mom might as well have just bought them all for me. Hook, Airheads, Masters of the Universe, Labyrinth, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, and The Meteor Man. I had to have watched this movie over 30 times. The dad bitching about the Nintendo (Hindindu I believe he called it 😂) was a personal favorite chuckle of mine. How he got his power always reminded me of when Stephen King touched the meteor in Creepshow when he became the worlds first truly green farmer.

Love Meteor Man as a kid. Really great messages about coming together as a community and saying no to violence. Don't fight it out. Vogue it out.

I saw this in the theater with my dad and loved it.

im 32 i remeber meteor man it was one of my favorite movies as a kid and when the black pather that i still refuse to watch was hyped up i brought up this movie countless times thank you for showing some respect to one of my favortie movies also ''GOLDEN LORDs!!!'' lol that is all

I remember watching this movie when I was five and it came out on TV. I thought it was good fun. Of course being 5 may have helped a little 😂

This was my favorite movie as a kid. I still think about it every now and then.

You should do Supersonic Man (1979) someday. It was directed by Juan Piquer Simon (who also directed Slugs) and it stars B-movie legend Cameron Mitchell. It's perfect for your channel.

oh crud; even Rifftrax couldn't make it watchable.

To be fair the Flash also has that book reading power, and it wears off quick too but he uses it to learn medical procedures, engineering and carpentry.

Brandon.... I love that you remember all the Black superhero movies before Black Panther.

I love this movie! When i first saw it in the 90's i thought it was f*cking awesome. Now in the 20's i still think that.

I saw this when it came out and was already a Townsend fan, but I kept waiting for a laugh that, sadly, never came.

I always laugh at the runway model fight to this day, from when I first saw it when I was younger.

I loved watching this movie in elementary school.
