@@shuttittuppitt9355 I couldn't deal with the cows, though. That thing was the stuff of nightmares.

And back to Kansas no less.

And even the Cowardly Lion was like: Nope, I'm outta here

Bond villains ALWAYS reveal their plans and secrets once they're secure in the knowledge that their nemesis is 100% doomed to death.

But he does go on to sing about wanting to go adventuring and to be a real boy.

does bufford's parody song "I want nothing" count as that or is that still an "I want" song because he indeed wants nothing.

@@faishiro5009 A great question for a great gag 😅

And if it wasn't the worst song in the soundtrack, that would be interesting

One must be stoned to understand this car crash.

Unremarkable? It's directed by Barry freakin' Mahon!

I need to read those books if they're full of hot babysitter cheerleader armies. the pink translatrix was adorable too.

I haven't read the Oz books in a long while but I did remember the odd gender bender ending and the emerald city getting 'sacked' by women. It also really makes the Wizard a more darker, serious villan when you find out what he did.

Unremarkable? It's remarkably tedious, remarkably creepy, remarkably dreary....

This movie shows that being faithful to the book does not make a good movie.

Your mom does serviceable impressions...

He really was the best actor in the bunch. Not that that's a high bar.

I thought the same thing.

A mom joke? Wow, so original! 🤭

He is good. And the chicks are hot.

Ah! So I wasn't imagining things.

I just laughed hysterically for an entire minute. I'm crying now.

Holy crap!!!

That makes the character more terrifying in my opinion. I didn't think that was possible.

Ironically I'll never be able to unsee that...

Oh hell, I forgot I left this comment. I actually stopped watching this again to see if anyone quoted it, and low and behold, here's my post. I must have met a Men in Black agent or something.

Super late comment, but the actress apparently had extreme stage fright which might explain the weird mannerisms. Also, she only had one other known movie role, a nudie made by the same director that made this. She wasn't exactly a seasoned actress.

​@@RuffianLivesOnthis is distressing news

The Wheelies are scared of ~this~ movie.

I was thinking the same thing

I actually like the songs in the Barry Mahon movies.

I've been really the Oz books. I think each book would work as it's own season of a TV show. I think they would have to take a few creative liberties to cover up some plot holes but I think it would really work on Amazon or Netflix. What do you think?

all i remember is a boy in a cage dognapping toto... grnuinely the only thing i remember reading in the books snd it might have been from one of tge narnias snd i'mmisrememvering!

I don't know, the Wheelers are still the stuff of nightmare, and of course the severed heads are perfect for scarring children. OTOH, Mahon certainly did mange to eke a lot more unintentionally mind-numbing horror out of each dollar spent (all 200 or so of them) so he's got the edge there.

that movie is freaky to watch even as an adult

I still love that film to this day. From the electroshock therapy to the head switching witch....just pure nightmare fuel. I hope tick-tok is okay and someone is still winding him occasionally.

@@richmcgee434 I actually kinda liked the wheelers as a kid.

@@richmcgee434 I’ve never seen Return to Oz, but my older sister did as a kid. 37 years later and she’s still totally creeped out by it. She always mentions the heads in particular.

Yep, Oz meets Woody Allen's Bananas.

It’s wonderful in the same way as Whizzo’s Wonderland.

It's truly a horrifying nightmare.

What? Wet-looking paper mâché isn't wonderful enough?

no no...theres a typo. It's " Wonderful, Land of Oz" As in, Great Back to this shit again!

Uhh…yeah… the riffs Definitely help! Lol

They truly help,..,a lot!!

This is basically filmed pantomime, like HR Puff'n'stuff. Meant to be fun more than anything.

The riffs help but not as much as the good quality green.

Oh you will.

Also, despite the name, she is NOT related to L. Frank.

You dream to dark sir. TOO DARK!!!

While the Army of Revolt girl was twirling the hanging strings of Mardi Gras beads, instead of the quip wondering if this was how Cartadine did it, I was hoping the lecherous director would make an appearance with, "Show us your tits!"

@@glennledrew8347 Yeah, they tend to make David Carradine references pretty much ANY time someone is seen putting something around their necks. It's a little overdone if you ask me.

​@@HylianFox3 Nah, they're reoccurring jokes are some of their best.

Oddly prescient.

This must be JK Rowling’s favorite Oz book.

yeah, the movie was a little odd and the bug-man-thing disturbing, but it was at the 'forced gender reassignment and murder of a mentally challenged child' that I think the movie jumped a few genres

Well, he used to be a girl though. He was enchanted to be a boy for some years, but it wouldn't be fair to the girl he used to be to just keep Tip around. Why it had to be in the book in the first place,is another can of worms..

@@Eisenwulf666 Maybe Baum knew someone who raised their girl as a boy?

Kevin has just gotten wussier & wussier since their MST3K days.

And unlike the bugs from Thumbelina, there IS a woman lovingly writing and creating fanworks for her highly magnified and thoroughly educated cockroach husbando. She has MANY videos under the name WogglebugLoveProductions.

Joe Estevez is too good for this movie!

I'm assuming it was self produced. They probably just got a distributor, assuming it ever actually appeared in many cinemas. You do realise a lot of people make movies for fun.

@@Cheepchipsable Probably self produced. If it got any sort of distribution that's a bit surprising though. Then again, if a movie like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" can get made then anything is possible!

What should he have done with his life. I'm assuming yours is stellar by comparison?

@@Cheepchipsable Barry Mahon is that you?

Ok fair enough but my point still stands that the oz equivalent of the White House has terrible security

They wish they made shit this horrifying. I mean, Lidsville came pretty close and Bob Denver's acting in Far Out Space Nuts will make any '70s kid go running, but this is somehow worse.

Kind of the wrong way round...

Judging by the casting of the female army and the interpreter (and the witch in THUMBELINA), she's also probably pretty hot without that make-up.

Hi, Bob.

I respect that actress. I don't think I could've said any three of her lines in a row with a straight face.

I think that whole populism thing has been debunked, most of it was not a thing at the time he wrote it. the way they describe it though it sounds really convincing.

I remember that my history teacher told us that myth but to this day I think he just wanted an excuse to show the movie instead of teach I mean obviously it isn't true. LFB wrote like a dozen of these books

@@noahkarpinski1824 well first of all that doesn't disprove anything, if you want to write a book that's an allegory, you would absolutely write a dozen books that are an allegory. secondly, I want to say he kept writing more and more Oz books because publishers wouldn't buy anything else from him. But yeah it's still not true.

Some guy came up with that b.s. interpretation over six decades after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published. If Baum really intended the book to be an allegory about monetary policy, I think somebody would’ve noticed way sooner.

On the other hand, the Army of Revolt in 'The Marvelous Land of Oz' was pretty transparently a gentle satire of the suffragette movement (which makes the idea of a cryptic and encoded economic allegory in the first book even less likely). Baum's mother-in-law was Matilda Gage, a famous early feminist activist - it is plausible that the unusual idea of 'good witches' in the first Oz book was inspired by Ms Gage's writings. So Baum was having some fun with the movement, but was likely sympathetic with their political aims. In any case, Jinjur's army is not only a topical satire: the theatrical musical of The Wizard of Oz had been quite successful, and Baum knew that a line of dancing girls in colorful costumes would be a big sell for a stage adaptation of this sequel. In the book, the men of the Emerald City beg the Scarecrow to restore the status quo. Not because women should be put in their place, but 'doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.' 'Hm!' said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. 'If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?' 'I really do not know,' replied the man, with a deep sigh. 'Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.' In the end, when order is restored, 'it is said that the women were so tired eating of their husbands' cooking that they all hailed the conquest of Jinjur with joy.' It was more fun re-reading these bits and quoting them than it was to watch that awful film.

That's not a thing in the books. _Return to Oz_ merged two books into one plot. In the books, the heads thing was the shtick of Princess Langwidere, a completely different character.

​@ericacross7337 Well, _The Marvelous Land of Oz_ kicks off the arc of a very, very queer main character in Ozma/Tip, but I don't think Baum was aware that's what he was writing at the time.

Lmfao. I saw that tooo. KZfaq... You have no idea.

They even mention that he leads with his crotch around 10 minutes.

I was under the impression there was an association with some kind of theme park. Probably some high school marching band who they paid a few dollars. Not hard to find people of all ages who are desperate to be on camera.

It was possible due to either cult funding and/or some good old fashioned pimp slapping.
