In this video we explain everything we know about the Smoker oil tanker in Waterworld, known as the Deez (Dez), from how the ship was brought to life through the film's production, to where it fits in the greater Waterworld lore, to what happened to the miniature models after the film was finished.

It's not that it was a bad movie, it just has waaaay too many plot holes and improbable story elements that really hurt the story. It's a fun popcorn movie and you can't put too much thought into "why something is", otherwise you start to find the problems with the movie. Just take it for what it is, an action movie.

The televised version is also different from the one you get on DVD. I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was a teenager, and there were several scenes in it that are not in the DVD version. One in particular is that at the end of the TV version the woman gave the mutant guy the name Odysseus.

Thing is that a Waterworld remake/reimagining would work, but it would be without the Costner and the Smokers. Focusing more on the atollers and their relationship to the muto's or focus on a grown up Enola and a new raider society, called something like Predator Atollers or just Predtoller for short.

This is one of the best videos you've done yet! I've always found the Deez fascinating, and it's made me wonder just what other ships exist out there in Waterworld: perhaps there are aircraft carriers, battleships, cruise liners, or other giant craft that have been modified to become floating cities and fortresses. If they do exist, imagine how amazing it would be if they occasionally fought each other to the death, with these giant city-ships throwing everything they have at each other in an attempt to sink one another like old man-o-wars from the 1800's. I hope the upcoming TV series touches on this, as it could make for some spectacular action sequences!

The fact that a Waterworld fandom KZfaq channel exists gives me hope for humanity. Like the Postman, Waterworld was Kevin's attempt to top the meta-commentary action genre and de-throne Demolition Man. Waterworld and Postman had excellent world building but studio meddling to mellow out the meta-commentary happened, ostensibly to widen the market... But who knows, maybe there were politics were at play, and some interesting ideas got de-emphasized... The final product was still pretty damn awesome, regardless.

Bladerunner got a similar response and now its a considered one of the best sci fi films of all time. A films response often suffers from the period of time when they come out. Whats popular socially, how people see the world and how they feel. How many years now have we endured zombie and post apocalyptic films. In a way Waterworld started a lot of that when that wasnt popular. If that film came out 10 or 20 years later it would have been more successful but not as unique as it was in the 90s. Back then it was action hero movies that dominated. Which WW did have but not in an environment that people were comfortable with at the time.

I know it makes no sense, but I like to believe that 'Waterworld' and Mad Max are set in the same universe. Like, the majority of the world is dried up desert for MM, but the massive and deep Pacific Ocean never completely evaporated, and the survivors on ships like the Deez simply forgot nautical navigation over time, so they're forever stuck circling in the ocean raiding the atolls for survival, unable to find the old continents. Meanwhile, the land dwellers fight over the same crude oil and drinking water as usual in Mad Max.

It's nice to see, that you have accumulated so many videos that you can reference them! It's been a great video as usual, but maybe you can insert these little info boxes to link your mentioned videos? Did the Deez had a name in the book?

@TheAtoll 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, totally, I have been meaning to add those hyperlinks into the videos! Thank you for reminding me! Yes, in the book the Smoker fortress is called the Deez. The book however makes no mention of the Exxon Valdez or Captain Hazelwood, probably do to the book going to print before they had the clearance to use their likeness.

Dude this was a amazing documentary of one of my favorite cult classics. I won't lie this was a good movie flawed but good. I wish it would be given more love than it did. And this was a far better video than what BBC or Discovery could do.

I’d like to see you do something on the economic/ mercantile bartering system that exists in waterworld, and maybe some stuff about how hydro plays a part in waterworld. I’m a clinical psychologist working in addiction medicine , and I cannot help but crack up at the absurdity of a ‘hydroholic,’ like water has no intoxicating properties or deleterious effects on your health, equating fresh water to booze is really silly, but I love it.

@TheAtoll 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, a video on the economics of Waterworld would be very interesting! Chits, the drifters code, the barter outpost, pure dirt, and of course, hydro! Lots to dig into! I think hydrophilic is pretty silly as well. Definitely one of the more cheeky terms in the film!

I actually have a can of Smeat sitting on my shelf, next to my can of 'Dinky' dog food from Mad Max 2. Although I don't have the Black Death Vodka, I do have 4 unopened packs of Black Death Cigarettes which has the exact same logo and markings And we're the cigarettes the smokers all had in the movie, I got the Smeat at a flea market around 2006 and the cigarettes at the Wisconsin State Fair around the same time although you can order the cigarettes from a internet site that sells cigarettes from around the world.

The Story of Cpt. Hazelwood is a tragedy. He was not even on watch, as he was taking his mandated brake. He had given clear orders, which were not followed, leading to the grounding. Then Exxon pushed him in front of the bus and the media just lapped it up.

Wow, yeah, that is fascinating. I don't think I knew the whole context of that story. I was very young when it happened.
