Faruza excited about the opportunity to get acting advice from Brando asked her for tips in playing her character. Brando told her not to worry about everything and to just take the Paycheck.

I'm glad Richard Stanley ended up getting his comeback. He's a serious talent director

So this is how Professor Lupin became a werewolf.

We wouldn't have Dr Mephisto from South Park if it wasn't for this movie.

This is the most worthy movie to be remade of any in the past few decades.

I have a soft spot in my heart for this movie. I can remember it being on late night rotation on cinemax and watching it numerous times as a kid trying to "stay up all night"

Rumor has it Richard Stanley wants to try this movie again, here's hoping that gets off the ground!

That radio receiver in his ear story was hilariously delivered . good stuff.

I saw this in theaters when I was 12. It was one of the most absolutely bizarre cinematic experiences in my young life.

Therapy was needed during the making and after the movie and probably still to this day

Fun fact: the director so came to despise Kilmer’s antics that he reportedly had him escorted off set by security after his last scene.

I feel so bad for Richard Stanley, he worked on the concept for this for four years and was driven off the set in four days.

Thank you for finally doing a what the heck happened to this movie The Island of dr. Moreau. I really appreciate it JoBlo.

“Island of Lost Souls” was the one that first introduced the Panther Woman into the story, you even show a clip of her at 1:37.

You can thank this production into having George Clooney being Batman.

You can see Richard Stanley's script shine through in this movie in legitimately good moments. While it is a tonal mess I also don't think this movie's nearly as bad as people say. Brando's perfect as the super eccentric Doctor (far more interesting than Burt Lancaster's portrayal) but it's a shame he's killed off so early.

I also remember this flick and Brando's performance being the inspiration for SOUTH PARK'S Dr. Mephisto, and what God's name is that thing little person that accompanied him.

The bat shit craziness that went on during the filming of this movie could make a couple of movies on its own. I heard one of the Stars literally deserted and basically had to be tracked down to Sydney's International Airport, cuz they were about to jump ship or hope plane.

I've only walked out of three movies in my life and this was one. 😂

I watched the documentary about this movie and i must say after knowing what happened behind scenes i kinda respect this movie and apreciate for what it was

You forgot to mention that Fairuza Balk, had enough of all the BS and literally went AWOL trying to fly back to the US. The producers intercepted her at Sydney airport and literally threaten her, that the studio would blacklist and sue her for breach of contract! So reluctantly, she agreed to return to the movie. When the main actress of the movie was so fed up,run away and had to be literally coerced into returning to shoot the movie, you can imagine what an absolute clusterf*uck this production must have been!

After the problems the production had, it's a more than watchable movie. It's a pretty fine adventure flick and there's no big mistakes.

I remember watching this when it first come out. It was amazing to me. Definitely a movie that stuck in my head enough to look up what happened with this movie. Hyena was the scariest thing I'd ever seen. It was terrifying. To think transhumanism could be a real thing by now.

Also, the great Oingo Boingo has a song called 'No Spill Blood' which is taken from this classic story.

I also hear the lead actor David Thewlis, even to this day - has never watched this movie. Because it was such a negative experience during production. Not only because of Kilmer`s behaviour but also he became ill and broke his leg when he fell off a horse

I remember seeing this on video and thought it was the weirdest hilarious movie ever, but I was drawn to the animal/ human make up.

Question, why not do an animated movie? You can animate the beast folk however you want. Exaggerate the characters and create beautiful and at times dark scenery.

Saw this when I was 9 when it came out, for some weird reason can never forget it. I literally think about this movie once or so a year and I have no clue why.. now KZfaq recommends this randomly.

One of the few movies I've watched that I've not been able to finish as I had no idea what was going on in it.

The Critical Drinker made an INCREDIBLE review of this movie as well...

This story if it’s done right with good acting and creature effects especially this day in age could be a really good movie

This 25 year old cheetah man looks better that the cheetah from Wonder Woman 1984!

When I saw this movie back when it came out, I also asked WTF Happened to this Movie?

Diana Ross made a music video back in the 80s called Eaten Alive which seems like he got his inspiration from the Island of Lost Souls.

Its sad how old and shitty this movie is, and it still has a better looking effects for cheetah than ww84 in it.

If this movie helped Ronin get made then it's worth it

The make-up effects looked awesome though

On a slightly unrelated note, my screenwriting professor wrote the movie Ronin that John Frankenhimer directed and said he was a huge asshole.

Such an interesting cast of actors. David Thewlis , Fairuza Balk, Val Kilmer of course! Marlon Brando too ! I’ll have to do a search for it!

asked if he would work with Kilmer again Frankenheimer said " if i was making The life and times of Val Kilmer i still wouldn't hire that prick" lol

I saw this at the cinema and thought it was alright.

Jesus, Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore on the same set? I can't recall off the top of my head who directed "Red Planet", but bless them. Bless that poor unfortunate soul.

I looked this up after posting my own review video. I love this movie and the novel, definitely the most faithful Wells adaptation.

YOOO!!! he directed Color Out of Space?!?!?! That movie ws soooo damn good!

At what point did people finally realize Marlon Brando wasn't worth the headache?

The documentary regarding the making of the movie is a much more entertaining than the movie

Brando set out to DESTROY this movie. He even got Kilmer to join in and Faruza Balk's career should have blown up but Brando didn't give a shit about hurting her.

Val Kilmer's turn as Doc Holliday is one of my favorite performances in cinema but make no mistake, you try to burn me with a cigarette and I will do my best to unscrew your head for you regardless of who you think you are. Fame and wealth is telling, it encourages those who enjoy it to reveal the truth of their respective nature's.

The most troubled and insane production in Hollywood history 🤯

Yeah this movie did bust Val Kilmer in his kneecaps like somebody taking a baseball bat to them.

I enjoyed the weirdness, but I was definitely aware it was a mess, but I liked it for some weird reason ....the documentary is great, saw it on Netflix a while back

I highly recommend that documentary about the movie.

This movie would be more cursed than poltergeist and exorcist put together if there was a death other than Poor Miss Brando.

2:46, saw the documentary on Dailymotion before it was taken down.

with all the background stuff on this movie, it adds to the watching experience, it's an enjoyable piece of 90s A list shlock

I’ve never worked on a film set but if I ever do, I feel like I would WANT to work, at least once, on a troubled production like this. For no other reason than it’s just something different that I can put on my resume saying, yeah...that mess of a movie? I saw it firsthand lol

So many actors in this movie i didn't recognize i was probably 6 or 7 when i saw this movie

"A death bread promise"

Ahh, the Yankjank that inspired Slavjank masterpiece Vivisector. Also, poor fucking Fairuza. You’re a young actor, you get a big break working with Marlon Brando and the latest goddamn Batman and you think everything’s coming up Milhouse when really everything’s coming up Mephisto, emphasis on the phist.

My man looked them dead in the eye and said "I'm going to wear this bucket. My character is now a dolphin and this is... my blow-hole hat"

About time! Been waiting for something like this for a while. WTF was Marlon Brando thinking? should have been the appropriate title of this episode.

That 77 version was awesome

God I love Marlon Brando so much, he is hilarious.

Marlon in his Colonel Kurtz mode. I have never seen this version but I always wondered who was the biggest a-hole in this: Brando or Kilmer. Imagine if Nic Cage was cast in the film............nah, he was busy with *"The Rock,"* one of the truly great action films of the 90s.

The 1932 film introduced the Panther Woman, not the 1977 one

I liked the film, crazy as it was. One of my favourite books.

The best behind the scenes insight of this film is over at Critical Drinker’s channel. 🤣😂🤣

I actually liked this film 🤟💀💀💀💀

1:55 no that was Lost Souls, you even showed a clip of her too

"Rap band" is an interesting way to put it...can't say I've heard that term in casual use since the heyday of Limp Bizkit and it still sounds ... off.

Love this Insane film for Brando and Kilmers OUTRAGEOUS PERFORMANCES. Thewlis is in another film,the lil dwarve mini me, faruza as a cat. Bonkers but I LOVE IT.

They are making this into a tv series

Good stuff!

😉👍 good stuff. I've never seen this, now I want to. Farusia Balk is hot!

You mean another installment of Production Hell?

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Merry Christmas.😉

It's not a horror movie actually it's a sad science fiction movie of a kind....

this is an interesting story and movie

I actually liked this movie.

This movie wasn't very good but the opening credits is incredible

iirc, Ron Perlman said in his autobiography that Brando was pretty stand offish and dismissive of him until Brando realized Ron was playing the Sayer of the Law blind. Brando supposedly warmed up to Ron a bit after that, to the point they had a few friendly dinners together.

Hot take....Brando is way over-rated.

The 1977 version with Burt Lancaster and Michael York will always be the best version of this story. It is highly under-rated and is considered a 'lost' film. I own a copy of the '77 version and i saw it at the theater when it was new. Marvel Comics also did a comic adaptation of the film.

Brando just played himself.

well now I have to go find Dust Devil.

nobod remember mar dacascos in this movie

Omgaga I remember this movie I loved it!! Remember not understanding it fully

Marlon Brando's daughter's name Cheyenne is pronounced like the tribe or the city in Wyoming, not Shane.

I know people hated this movie but I like it. Of course I never knew of the original at the time. I remember watching it in the theater with a friend when we were kids and I didn't really enjoy it much but watching it again years later it was better than I remembered. Not necessarily the movie as a whole but I thought the creature creations were great. Ron Perlmans sayer of the law, the hyena was a bit off as far as hyenas go but overall wasn't bad, Lomi, a full on head to toe creation. Probably could have been casted a little better and it has its criticisms but most movies do.

The Colour Out of Space is good fun

This movie bumped Plan 9 out of my top 10 worst movies list.

4those who do not know, this movie is historical known threw out all actors in USA' because of all the strange & bullying & ironic events that took place threw out the filming... its very similar to '''little fauss & big halsey''' & the story behind its filiming (which is very diff thn) ''IODM''... All the actors tht played all the animals & creatures tho were praised 4there work.. It was really val tht caused alot of problems on set' val replaced bruce willis just 10days B4 filming started,,,rest of story 2much 2tell,,,just look it up.. (& 4those who dont knw val was youngest actor ever to have A full scholarship given 2him by: Julia Arts academy at barley 17yrs old) thts why his career went downhill instead of up' alot say.

I believe a remake with the right vision, will be amazing.

I watched one single video about that movie on the critical drinke's channel, and now I'm being bombarded by recommendations about it.

Creepy ass movie and saw all version

This was still far superior to the Burt Lancaster version. Nothing, of course, come close to the original Charles Laughton version. Nobody seems brave enough to make a version as risque and horrific as the original.

I became a fan of Kilmer when he was Batman, he was my first Batman that I saw in the theater, so the next year and coincidentally on a day right after I had a surgery of my own, I woke up to my mom telling me she's taking me to see this, I was 9 so some of it was lost on me at the time, the scene of Montgomery giving them narcotics to get them to take their endorphins and hormones was one of them, but I understood enough to get the movie, I had no idea at all what a dick Kilmer was maybe not so much before that movie and Batman, but he starting becoming one around that time, but I enjoyed the movie and much more now that I understand all of it. I honestly don't understand why it wasn't more popular, it's different, it's unique, Kilmer despite his carnage behind the scenes was still an intriguingly spastic character, it was a movie with pop, surprise, convincing make up, twists and turns, and it's pretty dark with dark humor with so much of it being straight from the novel with certain updated changes to fit a more modern day version of the at the time 100 year old H.G. Wells story. I honestly think it's one that at a first glance you miss all the intellectual themes, the ominous plot and symbolism, things like darwinism, ego, Pandora's box, control, power, perfection, etc.but watching it a few times you start to see it's value more and more. Don't say it's a bad movie because of the nightmarish hell of a production, Brando did phone his lines in but even he didn't give a lacklustered performance as far as executing. It really is a movie I love and love introducing to people because everyone I've shown it to enjoys it.

In this version I felt the actors were men pretending be animals where as the original the actors portrayed as animals pretending to be men.

I initially thought that the thumbnail for this video was from Wonder Woman 84.

For a 90's flick this movie is actually pretty good. Give it a chance.
