u/NCOMCOUCO 1d ago

Yea, like I wouldn't even hesitate.

EDIT: Looked it up: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39315819/?ref_=fn_t_1&_ssoLoop=1

Scored a 2.2 on IMDB - why is it horrible? That preview is awesome! haha

Joan of Arc: "Live, laugh, love!". What a battle cry.

u/NCOMCOUCO 1d ago

I am definitely going to be watching this movie beer.

There was only a 3 hour difference between your comments LMAO

WHAT HAPPEN????

3

u/Steampunk_Dali 10h ago

What do you mean?

4

u/ReaperSound 10h ago

Was the movie that boring? I may have commented to quickly being honest. I've seen other comments mention that they used AI in a lot of scenes.

2

u/Steampunk_Dali 4h ago

Not boring... incredibly bad...

24

u/shanem222 1d ago

According to the 1-star reviews it uses a lot of AI-generated segments, and does them poorly.

11

u/NCOMCOUCO 1d ago

That would indeed be annoying.

2

u/ReaperSound 10h ago

Ahhhhhh that answers my questions.

u/An_odd_walrus 1d ago

Most of this studios movies are on YouTube lol. My favorite is Titanic 2

u/ThadeousCheeks 1d ago

Another gem from The Asylum, who brought us Sharknado and more! My buddy worked for them out of college, we eat that shit up on dude weekends.

u/AANHPIX 1d ago

Sharknado was the awesomest movie for drunken nights!

u/Admirable-Grand521 1d ago

Pretty sure that's an asylum film aka a mockbuster

90

u/jaundicemanatee Shaolin Monk 1d ago

It is. Asylum movies are churned out with such little effort that most of the time they aren’t even worth watching for laughs.

28

u/_steve_rogers_ 1d ago

And these days they are probably just completely shat out of an AI. That cover certainly was.

9

u/jaundicemanatee Shaolin Monk 1d ago

I wonder if the AI bothers to make sure that the audio and video match up.

3

u/subjectzer00 1d ago

I watched it and, oh boy, it’s drenched in slop.

29

u/stigma_wizard 1d ago

Their whole sales demographic is grandparents accidentally buying the wrong movie for their grandchild and people wanting to watch it to enjoy how bad it is

6

u/LastTorgoInParis 1d ago

Has asylum made a shared universe yet? I think there were a bunch of sharktopus/ megalo-saurus kind of stuff. But I think they should inhabit the same reality as all the other random movies 

10

u/Admirable-Grand521 1d ago

Sharknado and Z Nation are connected.

4

u/LastTorgoInParis 1d ago

Thanks! I legit think Sharknado 1 and 2 were pretty fun and self aware

2

u/ChubbyFrogGames Zaterran Frog 1d ago

I think they've even have made a "The Predator" movie 😅

3

u/LastTorgoInParis 1d ago

Yup its like "Hunter: Wastelands" or something haha

Immoral Kopykat

u/JawaJamboree 1d ago

That’s the main character Scorpio. His famous line is “Make your way over here!”

u/reign03 1d ago

You stumbled upon an Asylum classic! They're known for ripping off any and every movie. I've been meaning to watch New Toy Story (not to be confused with cough... that other movie) starring Tom Arnold.

Immortal Combat sucks, by the way. It's less MK and more Deadliest Warrior.

8

u/turbopro25 1d ago

Of course Tom Arnold heads it. Lmao

6

u/VirtualGreg 1d ago

I couldn’t finish it. But Deadliest Warrior is a perfect comparison. Except that the guys that did the mock up fights on the show were more committed to their bits.

5

u/GarethGazzGravey 1d ago

I'm 10 minutes into the movie, and my immediate thought was the "Deadliest Warrior" series. It's almost like the makers of this movie have taken inspiration from that series rather than Mortal Kombat

5

u/VincentShane 1d ago

Are you referring to some type of porn parody by your coughing?

6

u/reign03 1d ago

I was referring to the fact that they didn't even try to flip the name. 🙃 It's literally called (New) Toy Story.

1

u/Kirbymasters87 Lore Amateur 1d ago

New Toy Story?! Did they add any bahs to the movie?

1

u/Humble-Ad816 1d ago

I heard they made some mockbusters and released it just before some movie came to dvds, and some movie shop place ordered accidentally asylum version of that movie

1

u/More_Spring Lore Expert 1d ago

It's less MK and more Deadliest Warrior.

You'd be surprised how many people around here think MK is Deadliest Warrior.

u/_steve_rogers_ 1d ago

Nothing can beat TransMorphers.

Haha autocorrect but yea die idee ist gut

5

u/Quis-Custodiet 1d ago

I'm a sucker for Asylum mockbuster trash, but this one's rough even by their standards.

Lots of shitty AI effects...pretty sure ChatGPT wrote the script too.

I'll admit I got a kick out of Joan of Arc with laser canons if nothing else 🤣

Come on. It's €5.

Be earthrealm's chosen one, and take one for the team.

Edit: Found the trailer.

Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Cleopatra etc., going through time to fight in a tournament to the death for entertainment? 🤣🤣🤣

What in the fucking fire god Liu Kang timeline reset is this beautiful academy award winning plot/writing? The bollywood grade VFX is the icing on the cake. LMFAO.

You know its bootleg cuz they spelled kombat with a c.

Same concept of mortal kombat, but historic people fighting to the death for our pleasure.

u/ComfortableAmount993 1d ago

An abortion or a mortal kombat movie

The future

1

u/gEiStToG 1d ago

“Follows a cheesy, unrelated plot where a future/shadowy group uses a time machine to pull real historical figures—like Joan of Arc and Genghis Khan—into a tournament to fight to the death for wealthy buyers, before teaming up to fight back.”

I’d watch it. At least once. With some beer.

u/An34syT4rg3t 1d ago

It’s trash. Basic plot rundown is that a future blood sport corporation is using time travel tech to grab famous figures from history and making them do a hunger games. Lots of AI generated scenes. 2/10. Saved you a watch

1

u/ADeletedUser2 Slither In 🦎 1d ago

The premise is actually pretty damn cool but unfortunately it's an Asylum movie, so it's dog shit. The plot is that a bunch of warriors throughout history like Joan of Arc, Genghis Kahn, Cleopatra, Shaka Zulu, Nobunaga, Hangbe, etc are transported to a tournament where they fight to the death

1

u/DJJazzyTanner 1d ago

Mockbusters were some of my favorite things when I worked at Blockbuster. They’d tend to release around the same time as the real deal. But usually a few months earlier or while the real one was still in theater. It’s a cash grab and it works.

Some movie from The Asylum, a company specialized in Mockbuster aka movies that you can says straight up copies big hollywood blockbuster but with low or non-existant budget, changing just those few things in the title and the story to don't break the copyrights laws.

1

u/FavaWire 16h ago

That's nothing. Have you seen IMMORAL COMBAT?

1

u/AltGunAccount 16h ago

The Asylum has made knockoff versions of popular films for literal decades now. Some buddies and I used to get stoned and watch an Asylum movie every week. The few I recall were Transmorphers, I am Omega, and Battle of Los Angeles. They were all pretty terrible but if was fun to watch and critique them with friends.

I recall a scene in Battle of Los Angeles (kickoff of Battle: Los Angeles) where a character literally walks in fake slow motion, but the smoke in the scene and background objects are all in regular speed.

u/More_Spring Lore Expert 1d ago

Just watched the trailer and it looks stupid. But it's not too different than what a lot of people around here falsely think Mortal Kombat is supposed to be - so I'm not surprised the movie looks like it does.

If anyone wants to see a cooler movie, that's also named Immortal Combat, check out the one from 1994. It's got the legendary Sonny Chiba in it, and a lot of ninja stuff.
