I think when this movie is realeased, the comedic parts will be seen as the worst aspect of it, and the thing that will make it or break it for people. The concept--a man wanting to make kids happy during the bleakness time of their lives, only to be then used as a tool to lead them (and himself) to their deaths--is profoundly tragic, and I see it working if framed properly. I'm reminded of the film Life is Beautiful, where a father and son are in a concentration camp, with the father covering up the bleak reality of their situation to spare the boy's innocence. That movie also has some people divided, with the harsher aspects from the real life camps softened to allow the comedic parts to work, and thus diminishing the real suffering that had occured in real camps. Others see it as a movie about maintaining hope, even in the darkest times. I feel like The Day the Clown Cried might be seen in a similar vein, but hard to say until it's actually viewable.

Yet I cringe when I see that brilliant man in such a wreck of a body, taking pills to lose weight. Pills. Three months with me, and he would be on the road to perfect health and ideal body-composition. :) Generally smart people. But something is missing in those people. Believing that anything can be bought, at any time. Wanting to be rich is a mental disorder for sure. Psychopathic, perhaps?

The guys at Ramon Films in Uganda are some of the most passionate filmmakers I’ve ever seen. When I purchased a couple of shirts and a a DVD copy of Who Killed Captain Alex, they autographed it, sent a stack of stickers and small posters, and drew a picture that they personalized with my name stating that I, in fact, killed Captain Alex.

Very proud to hear it mentioned, as I had totally forgot about that being a topic in my family.

Honestly, TENET… it’s a 300 million dollar film that survived the production hell of the COVID outbreak to bring us the first blockbuster scale movie in what felt like ages; and on top of that, it’s also one of the most complex and confusing pieces of cinema ever produced, requiring viewers to watch all 2 hours and 30 minutes multiple times to understand the whole plot.

Hitchcock was epic. I don't remember who it was, but he was making a film with an actress who got really frustrated at Hiscock's lack of direction.

So he hires Rocko, Heifer, and Filburt to create the show and make it tank and bomb so he won't have to work on the new show. However the first episode is a hit, so he takes extreme measures to sabotage the show. Second episode is 30 mins of simply a picture of a jar of mayo. The next episode is simply 30 mins of overexposed film or rather just a black screen. Somehow the audience loves those eps and then Ralph decides to embrace the show and actually work on it and it winds up tanking after that.

Nothing Lasts Forever is one of my favorite films of all time. Such a shame so many have never seen it. It's just as good and in many ways better than all the classics from that same era.

16:19 I love that show! Glad to see a reference to it; most people have no idea it exists and that’s a shame (imo)

I read the ending of the day the clown cried once 7 years ago and I honestly found it extremely compelling and haunting. I do wonder if the movie is actually bad or if it is simply in extremely bad taste. Hope to find out one day.

Hey! got something to add about Manos: The Hands Of Fate!! turns out the man who played the cult leader was quite popular at the time, and he put so much love into this project that his research in cult leaders led him to create his own prayers for the movie and I think even the costume, also, I think the little girl it’s his daughter and there’s a scene with their actual family dog who’s supposed to act scary but of course he lets the little girl take him with the leash because it’s his owner and that’s really cute. In less cute news, the man who plays the cult leader’s sidekick or something got permanently injured with the leg prosthetics and had chronic pain for years until he died, so, yeah :/ JDJFJDJ I’ll edit if I have something else to add about any other movie!! thanks for the hard work in researching all of this, man.

Comments like yours are exactly what I was hoping for, thank you for contributing more fun facts about that wild movie. I also read somewhere that the actor playing Torgo was on LSD during basically the whole production, dunno how true it is but it'd make perfect sense to me.

@TheUluxian

Slight correction. John Reynolds, who played Torgo, was a drug addict who actually committed suicide (by gunshot), about a month before the movie premiered. He had struggled with addiction all throughout his life, and was pretty much high constantly during filming. Johns dad was a successful brigadier general, and John never felt he lived up to his fathers expectations. Never heard anything about the"pain" issue,but he was wearing the prostethics backwards during filming. I think his death was more due to his mental issues than anything physical. This comes from Debbie Neyman's blog (listed below). Debbie is the real life daughter of the "Master", Tom Neyman, and is indeed the Debbie from the film. Hal Warren, who produced/directed, was a fertilizer salesman who took a bet that he could make a film on a $20K budget while dining at a restaurant with a friend. He scratched an outline on a napkin in about 20 minutes, and had the script finished the next day. Debbie also participated in 2 other Manos films (which are equally as bad, if not worse). The prequel, Manos: The Rise of Torgo and the sequel, Manos Returns. debbiesmanos.blogspot

Well, they got the stuff about propaganda down to the T.

11:30 I'm glad you mentioned the backstory behind Captain Alex. I enjoy that movie so much, no caveats necessary. It's goofy, but it's so earnest that you can't NOT love it.

Some other cool cat movie ideas: Cool Cat joins the Marines at Fallujah, Cool Cat visits the Taj Hotel, Cool Cat visits the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station, Cool Cat volunteers at the Texas Book Depository, Cool Cat releases the Day the Clown Cried.

28:39 When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I was terrified of this movie. Here in Brazil this movie was called O Homem Cobra (The snake man) and every month or so it would be on the TV in the same channel, and every time the last bit of the transformation occurred, I would close my eyes and hide behind my grandma. (Sorry for the English, not my first language)

Who Killed Captain Alex is legit amazing. You can watch the whole thing and never get bored. It's utterly amazing seeing the special effects that are so bad you can't help but wonder what other options they had and didn't choose. The best part is where there is to much noise to hear the actors some completely different person dubs over them. It's a masterpiece in badness. You could not possibly make a movie that looks like it no matter how you try.

"Who killed Captain Alex?" is honestly a pretty great title; it's unique, concise, memorable and it succinctly telegraphs the plot. If it were the title of a novel it'd be perfect.

Thank you for this video! My mind kept getting blown every couple of seconds!

Great video! Also... Wow, that movie from 1883, Spring Break, looks as good as anything made in the 1980's.

A few films I think are worth mentioning The Fantastic 4 (1994) was never released officially as it was alleged to have been a scam movie made to avoid the film rights from expiring. Ironically it is, in my opinion the most entertaining Fantastic 4 movie made which probably isn't saying much given the reception the other films have recieved. The movie has some meme magic in it but the stars of the show are Dr Doom's mask and gauntlets which together comprise most of Dr Doom's dialogue Damnatus (2008?) A low-budget fan film that's probably familiar to you if you follow WH40K. Despite being finished the film's non-commerical release was canned due to unforseen discrepencies in British and German copyright laws making releasing the film impossible as a business decision. Like the previous film it is, of course, available through other means. Ivan Grozny Part I (1944) was a film commissioned by the big mustache himself. The story that I heard alleged that Stalin thought to liken himself to the genocidal maniac who purged his advisors, paid pagan mercenaries to raze Moscow, created a secret police force to kill and imprison dissidents and reformed government to make himself an autocratic tyrant who slowly slips into illness and paranoid delusions in his later life. Part I was, of course, a critical success that won the Stalin Award. By Part II it appears the irony was beginning to dawn on Stalin and the film was slammed by Soviet press and surpressed only to be released in 1958 after both Stalin and the director, Eisenstein, were dead. We're lucky these 2 films still exist as there was a Part III in production that was halted after the reaction to Part II and allegedly all material related to this film was confiscated and destroyed by the government.

I love Ed Wood and to me Plan 9 From Outer Space is a masterpiece. By the way, the name was originally to be called Zombies From Outer Space, but the film was financed by a church(!) on the promise that Ed would then make their Bible films they wanted to do. Of course he didn't. But the Church refused to finance a film with the word zombie in the title, so they suggested Plan 9 instead.

When you accidently said 1883 instead 1983 while describing Spring Break 38:16 I smiled. I'll do that also sometimes.

The child actress in Roar was Tippi Hedren's daughter, Melanie Griffith. She was a huge actress in the 1980s and 1990s, but may be better known now for marrying both Don Johnson and later Antonio Banderas. The assistant director on Roar was Jan De Bont, who is best known for directing Speed.

I located and downloaded "Roundhay Garden Scene" 1888. As a collector of movies, having the first movie, for me is a must. Thank you. Strangely, I already have a lot of these films in my collection. Oh, and side note: Manos: The Hands of Fate 1966 has THREE sequels, not two. Manos: The Search for Valley Lodge - 2010 Manos: The Rise of Torgo - 2013 Manos Returns - 2016 38:15 Point of clarification, "Spring break was indeed NOT made in 1883 as the commentator states [Re-watched the clip THREE times to verify he CLEARLY says 1883, and did not slur or mumble]. That would make Spring Break, and NOT "Roundhay Garden Scene" the first movie ever made having preceded Roundhay by five years. Wikipedia, Rotten Tomatoes, and IMDB [if they can be believed] all agree it is actually a 1983 release.
