Hits & Misses: Project MetalBeast





Hit: The US Military Intelligence in 1974 goes searching for werewolves to create superior combat agents. OK, that's actually a cool premise to start off the movie.

Miss: Did they just added Project in the title in post? That's what it looks like to me.

Hit: This werewolf design is not so impressive but it's not too shitty either.

Miss: Hey soldier guy, your buddy's being turn into a human chew toy. Care to shoot the werewolf before he's killed? No, you just gonna stand there until the werewolf's finished? OK then.

Miss: Butler talking to Colonel Miller: "Because of Greg's death? I didn't have any time." Bullshit you didn't, you were just standing there while the werewolf was having a late night snack on Greg. 

Miss: Clearly the blood sample has to be diseased considering it's from a werewolf.

Miss: And also maybe if Butler brought back the body instead of just blood samples this project would have plenty of samples to work with.

Miss: Butler didn't wanna wait for the the doctor lady to come back within a week for the results. So he decided to steal the last blood sample and injected into himself. Don't see nothing going wrong here.

Real Talk: Also why does this one men's restroom have a broken mirror?

Hit: Movie's got a catchy soundtrack.

Real Talk: So Butler attacks this one doctor lady and just leaves her all bloody. Um...OK.

Real Talk: Also does this mean she'll become a werewolf too?

Real Talk: *Butler in a cryo-freezer.* You can totally see the guy's junk.

Real Talk: It's 20 years later and Miller surprisingly ages well.

Miss: You mean the labs at this operations center don't have a freezer or a morgue so they put Butler's body in a kitchen freezer. That's not uncomfortable at all.

Hit: The practical effects of the Butler cadaver getting the bio-ferrin skin graft is pretty impressive. 

Miss: If only Miller stuck around through the operation he could've stopped them from removing the silver bullets out of Butler.

Miss: Also you would think Miller would have put in place some people making sure that Anna and crew doesn't discover the bullets. Or any other conspicuous details for that matter.

Miss: Oh yeah Miller, antagonize the recently revived  werewolf who maybe still pissed at you after 20 years.

Miss: Butler starts transforming and instead of running out of OR, Larry makes a phone call to Anna and Debbie but are inconveniently busy with identifying the not-cadaver. 

Hit: The make-up effects for the mid-transformation Butler looks impressive.

Miss: Oh yeah Anna, leave Roger all alone with mutating werewolf instead of making sure the thing's knocked out first.

Hit: Very impressive metal werewolf design.

Hit: Also hi Kane Hodder.... Umm Kane Hodder plays the MetalBeast.

Hit: So Philip melts silver with some bio-ferrin into three rocket launcher shells in a chance to take down the metal werewolf. Well at least it's a plan.

Miss: Miller's gun is loaded with silver bullets but decides to waste two shots on General Hammond. You know, the guy who's not a werewolf.

Miss: So what was Miller's plan with werewolf Butler anyway? Get him augmented with synthetic metallic skin and then what have him going around killing? He doesn't even have him under some type of control of any kind and just acts like everything's going to plan somehow. Not a well thought out villain this guy is. 

Miss: Anna was limping around after removing a rebar out of her foot only to run away from the MetalBeast just fine minutes later.

Miss: Debbie makes a hit on the MetalBeast's leg with the rocket launcher yet the shell doesn't even explode. How?

Hit: Although nice practical effect of the MetalBeast pulling the shell from his leg.

Hit: More credit to the practical effects as Anna fires the final shell at the MetalBeast and then he explodes into MetalBeast chunklets.
