Feast your eyes on the glory that is Reb Brown (aka “Dirk Butsteak, et al.), but try to avoid looking at his area in that picture on the right if you are easily made uncomfortable by male camel toe. Anyone familiar with MST3K will remember this beefy jackass from Space Mutiny (you know, the Battlestar Galatica rip-off with Captain Santa and John Phillip Law who plays the evil Calgon, which sounds suspiciously close to Cylon?) where he was mercilessly lampooned by Mike and the bots.
Anyway, with The Avengers coming out May 4th, I though why the hell not watch some crappy TV superhero movie from the 70′s starring some guy? Hell, why not watch two, as there is a sequel. Twice the Reb Brown, twice the fun, as someone probably never said. Plus, Reb Brown’s Cap looks like a total dork. I mean, seriously Reb, did your mom make that costume for you?
But yeah, the 1970′s and Reb Brown. And I know there’s a 1990 version of the Cap, but shit, I don’t have a death wish. In the immortal words of Whitney, “That Cap is wack.”
When I first started going to the movies, I was fascinated by the preview for “Yor, the Hunter From the Future,” starring Reb Brown, but it was one of a handful of movies my mother deemed “too stupid” to take even me to see.
I’m not sure what her criteria for “too stupid” were though, since I’m pretty sure I saw the “Yor” trailer when she took me to see “Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn” in 3D.
Hahaha, that’s awesome! Apparently her critera for “too stupid” was “stars Reb Brown,” which is a pretty solid bet.
Yeah, it’s all coming back to me now. I saw the preview for “Hercules” at the same time I saw the preview for “Yor,” and she said “Hercules” looked OK, so “stars Lou Ferrigno” wasn’t even on her “too stupid” list either.
Hahaha, ouch. Poor Reb Brown!
Reminds me: I had a biology teacher in high school (a guy) who was completely obsessed with Lou Ferrigno. He went to body building conventions and got his picture taken with him, which he showed our class multiple times. He also had a ton of empty Whey containers scattered in the classroom. Strange dude. He was an alright guy though. Just strange.
Good Lord, male cameltoe is very unforgiving. Somehow this just doesn’t look like it’s gonna be good in any way. I look forward to your review.
Yeah, should’ve worn some different pants. But he’s a superhero so he has to wear something crotch hugging? I guess? I expect it to be completely terrible as well.
I watched some of this movie on Youtube (or was it the sequel…?) anyways, I now think i have a massive crush on 70′s Reb Brown! Those thighs!!!!
Could’ve been the sequel. I don’t think they are that easy to tell apart, so its anyone’s guess. Both are out there on YouTube (I think).
Reb will be glad to know he has at least one fan out there!
In that second picture, his face looks smaller… maybe because the motorcycle helmet he’s using as a codpiece is bigger than the one on his head, who knows.
This looks awful. I await the review.
You’re right! Could be his male camel toe stunt double though, but the helmet/codpiece theory is just as likely.
The 1990s Cap movie is worth seeing for the fact that it stars J.D. Salinger’s son. The reb Brown TV movie is pretty dull, to be honest, but what’s with all the “Yor” hate going on here? That’s Grade-A trash, my friends.
Really? I did not know that about the 1990 movie. That is actually…pretty wild! I kinda figured the TV movies would be dull, but I have a masochistic streak.
As for the “Yor” hate…well, I do love to laugh at it, even though it is trashy delight! But if you aren’t into that sort of thing I could see how it would cause some…anger? Confusion? Something like that.
