From his IMDB page: "Since the 2000s, Kirby has had a spike in popularity as a result of the growth of the internet, and largely due to internet comedic film reviewer, Brad Jones (a.k.a. The Cinema Snob), who almost worshipped the movies of Kirby."

Ah, back in the days when the Snob had a co-star...the camera motor.

If Godfrey Ho "directs" Schindler's List, there will be multiple spliced scenes of Pierre Kirby fighting against Nazi ninjas and all the villains wear bandannas with "Na-Zi" written on them.

From The Snob Tumblr Pierre Kirby was a yacht dealer, and on one of his trips, his boat was taken over by pirates and he was tossed overboard. That’s actually really what happened, this was not long after he completed his last movie with IFD. His sister once got in touch with me after I did Pierre Kirby week, because she had no idea that her brother ever did any movies and she wanted copies of them. She said the weirdest part was seeing him with a dubbed voice, as he had a heavy British accent in real life. I will definitely review the final Pierre Kirby movie. It’s called Crackdown Mission, and it’s a knock off of Ms 45.

I really would like to think that Pierre is still out there, living a quiet life somewhere in Southeast Asia... Couple of years ago I was on a ship in Thailand Gulf and I brought with me a flower and threw it in sea somewhere there as I thought it might as well have been his watery grave... Strange years, those 80s, when you could make living in Asia just by being an American...

I love it. Pierre's IMDB bio has a shout out to the Cinema Snob.

We're going old school! Classic Cinema Snob... Basement Cuts!!

Bring back cinema snob mysteries lol 😂

Ah my legacy is not useless!

This is my favorite one. I fall asleep to this some nights. Don't judge me.

Pierre Kirby week was my gateway to Snob reviews. I was curious about the Cinema Snob from having seen several crossovers with Doug Walker so I clicked on the first video I found, the one with brightly colored ninjas. After that, I was hooked and have been ever since. Here's to Pierre Kirby, wherever he's disappeared to. Oh, and Happy 10th! Thank you for all the laughs! "Don't you know that the Dragon's fire burns hot?"

Congratulations on finally getting to 50 reviews! It seems like just yesterday you did your 10th!

Pierre Kirby week was probably my favorite series you did. I have had Pierre Kirbys face as my lock screen wallpaper for over 3 years.

Good night, Mr. Kirby, wherever you are.

Finally, I’ve watched this so many times. I’d much rather watch it on your channel.

Man, this brings back memories.

Dear Snob, These old, classic Cinema Snob movie reviews are wonderfully funny & entertaining & the crummy visual & sound only adds to their charm.

The definition of Classic CInema Snob. Possibly my favorite group of episodes.

"You want to buy a coffin?" "Shut up"

It's so surreal to see videos this old of Brad in anything above 144p

when I thought of full metal ninja, my first thought was a cyborg ninja bent on revenge against the men who killed him.

I didn't know ninjas were so fabulous back then

Man. I'm Still heartbroken over Pierre Kirby.

7:30 I don't know about anyone else out there but Cannonball Run II's Sinatra scenes, were the first time a 5 year old me saw that technique and said, 'there's something wrong here' and I've been interested in film trickery, (and movies) ever since!! So thanks Hal Needham, or whoever directed this part(s) of the film. ;) Cheers from Canada Cinema Snob's are not born. Thay are created!! ;)

Can't get pass the fact that all the head bands have the word Ninja. BWAAA HA HA HA HA HA!

Thanks to these reviews I discovered Thunder of Gigantic Serpent! I love it

"are you waiting for the boss? im waiting for the boss too"

Man, I wish brad would do more obscure and foreign movies. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but he was always in his element when doing things like Godfrey Ho, Italian zombie movies, Caligula, or turkish rambo films. XD My fondest snob memories are of these. Though Moment By Moment is my favorite episode and it doesn't exactly fit the bill. I'm still waiting for that turkish movie about the prison wardens daughter and the 99 prisoners movie review! I am sure it's totally youtube safe!

Production remained mostly in the family, it would seem; Betty Chan is Ho's wife, and Joseph Lai is her brother. Also, honestly, Brad, you're the best. I've mentioned this previously, but you are helping me get through such a horrible time in my life. Thank you.

Still waiting for Crackdown Mission review.

27:05 First time I saw this, I was not in tune with the Snob's patented sarcasm. So when he said, "Who steals the music from 'Maniac' ?? I yelled out, me!!! And I was offended because I had just finished a college film, where I did exactly what Brad had "mocked", and I thought I had done a good job! LoL As the video continued, I finally got this Brad Jones, Cinema Snob character and a 15 year Love affair began :) If you think a one sided, doesn't even know who I am, Love affair, can exist!!! Naturally, all of us Geeks, Nerds, Kirby's & Yeti's, know that it can! Thanks for the laughs and memories!! And as Spoony once said about the Iron Sheik, 'You! You just stay as you are (no need to ever change). Cheers from Montreal, where even the French people get you...eventually ;)

The review that got me into Alphaville. Jet set society is still a fucking banger It's a real shame what happened to Pierre. He wasn't terrible compared to some other ninja movie actors

These reviews have aged like wine....... I think...... don't know...... I just know that after all these years, I still remember them very fondly

A fascinating irony...obscurity makes one stand out.

Bring back cinema snob mysteries

Damn, this is my favorite Snob episode ever. We need a movie about Pierre Kirby, could have Scott Adkins in the main role. Damn.

I CAN'T WAIT to see his review of: *_CRACKDOWN MISSION_*

Glad these old episodes are getting uploaded bit by bit

So... my heart breaks a little, when I hear the past lines "whatever happened to Pierre Kirby? I don't fucking know!" Because I... actually remember these films, and I didn't know until the first review. And the poor bloke died in 1990. He deserved better...

That nostalgic camera whirring. Classic.

Thank you for this, Brad. It helps me understand what Steve Oedekerk was going for in Kung Pow.

Pierre Kirby and Reb Brown should've done a team-up movie

Pierre Kirby is to Cinema Snob what Snowflame is to Linkara.

Holy crap, (relatively) high quality basement footage!

Pierre Kirby Week reuploaded that makes me happy!!

PIERRE KIRBY FOR SNOB’S DAD!

Pierre Kirby Origin movie we need. Why his story not made into a film. Its amazing story n hollywood cant find original story. Im already a huge fan of Pierre Kirby. Where r u? Pierre Kirby

The man, the myth, the legend, the Ninja.

You finally brought this back! Long live Pierre Kirby!!!

thank you so much for finally re-uploading these!

Favorite special week for many years, especially with yout explaination of how the many films were spliced together.

Oh my gosh Ive been searching for this review for so long! Thanks so much for uploading these!

Sweet! I had seen others compile them, but so glad to see you upload a compilation!

YES! This was one of my fave from the early snob! An intro to Pierre Kirby and Godfrey Ho movies! Thanks!

I remember Kirby's ninja films!

I'm more a Richard Harrison, Pierre Tremblay enthusiast myself. But a Pierre Kirby? Why not? As soon as some editor can make 5 movies with the stock footages of those 3 in one ninja film, I'm all into it.

There's a missing Pierre Kirby Movie that the Snob never did. Will we ever see it?

I love you snob thanks for reuploading this is why you are the best

Finally, the legend has returned!

That undertaker better have taught him the Tombstone

Straight up one of the best moments for the snob. These episodes are hilarious.

Waiting for the day we see the Crackdown Mission review

Hopefully this means you're gonna review more godfrey ho movies

The man, the myth, the legend himself...Pierre Kirby. "Simply put, he's the best!"

YES! YESS!!! THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!!!!!

Did we ever find out what happened to Pierre Kirby? I heard he was killed in a typhoon, but I'm not sure that was confirmed. Eventually Eric Freeman from Silent Night, Deadly Night part 2 showed back up. The internet was able to interview the voice actors and even the Russian animators behind the Zelda CDI games. Kirby though, was never seen again after these films.

Snob looking at that huge-ass monitor for Snob Mysteries is so funny 😂

I wonder how the KZfaq algorythm works: after bingewatching Cinema Snob for hours all my recommended videos are from his channel save for one. That is a documentary about the lives of domestic servants in the 19th century. I've never watched anything even close to that!

An evil ninja challenges a righteous ninja. Only a ninja can defeat a ninja. Ninja ninja, ninja ninja ninja.

Litterally went on a binge of covering ninja game soundtracks on my channel last week..because I watched the Kirkby series..now it's put up in full collected form...the stars were indeed aligned. 😂 👌 Love these reviews too much.

Yay! Great to see this back.

This video had a starting ad for Kung Fu Tea There is absolutely no way that was just a coincidence

The reviews that made me a fan years ago. Fuck yes.

12:16 He has a magic gun! Where'd he purchase that?!

BLESS THIS~ It's Back!!

One of my favorite reviews

Finally, all in one video. Pierre Kirby ftw.

Thanks for bringing this back! I'm hoping you'll reupload the rest of your Pierre Kirby reviews and have time to review Crackdown Mission at some point.

Ninja Mime is my favourite Pierre Kirby film.

I see Mr Kirby and believe it or not I'm walking on air.

Hahahaha going through all your vids and you sir are hilarious

I miss the old days of the interwebs.

Used to work in a mortuary--a typical coffin weighs around 200 lbs. or so. Varies by material, of course, but they have to be pretty solidly built to hold a body that adds another 200+ lbs. on average. Why you better have 6-8 strong pallbearers.

Happy I no longer have to feel bad watching this on another channel.

The girl from Ninja of the Magnificence is like if you took every good character trait out of Short Round and replaced them with Willie Scott's, all while magnifying them to 100%. Also, the music from 29:50 to 30:02 was lifted from the original Battlestar Galactica series, though its a little hard to tell because they lowered the pitch down I swear, Pierre Kirby's outfit in Full Metal Ninja resembles the Pink Guy from Filthy Frank

Pierre Kirbyapalooza!

Truly, the grestest action star of our time.

Brad just went back to this house (april 2024), where he filmed these videos.

Congrats Brad!

I mentioned Pierre Kirby in the Inchon review now this Hot Damn.

This oldy but a goody.

"I am calling bullshit" *literally dials a phone* Oh, you.

If I remember right there's still one more Pierre Kirby movie left, betting that's for a special occasion. Though I still wish you'd review some more Godfrey Ho movies.

Oh, boy! Here we go again^^

Yay, I think we all really miss the basement, which never had any lights but always had a great analog hum. Also.. Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from cotton-eye Kirby!

Fun fact: the movie Big Money Hustlas, from the Insane Clown Posse, reused the ninja costumes from these movies for their characters Magic Ninja #1 and #2.

"Brilliant decuction, Sherlock, he lost the fucking formula!"

Best Snobweek Ever.

One day Kirby will return and bless this world once again

Get ready for the show!
