A movie so bad it made Sean Connery retire from acting.
suntoryhanzo
Comic was an A and the movie a C-
davescifi1350
Fibreglass and it used the chassis from a Ford Cargo truck
CheeseborgarSoop
If I were a billionaire, this is kind of shit I would drive.
WoofBastard
Man, that movie sucked.
QuanticChaos
Not the actual car, this is a driving recreation and is much nicer, I watched the guy build it up on DeviantArt of all places years ago
redtails2649
Who’s driving it now? Nemo?
ShadesOfBlue3836
My other car is a Prius
Lightsmith
Operates with a v24?
iamthugnasty
I saw it when I was young and liked it. As an adult I still have a fondness of it, but can see why people say it's bad.
3TeethSmile
I want that car. Loved the movie.
Nocturnalswitch
The movie is a train wreck, but a beloved one that I cannot turn off if it's on

That movie is what solidified my love of curvy goth chicks with witch eyes
SkiingGiraffe
I really liked this film. I understood the criticism, but I still enjoyed it
MissSpelledTattoo
Missed a spot

Dorian be like:
GranddaddyGundam
For the niche it meant to fill it wasn't bad, it's just an abysmal adaptation of the source. 1/2
GranddaddyGundam
Cutting down Mina's part to just a vampire gimmick, making Alan the hero, and softening the invisible man's darker side, and Huck Fin...ugh.
Khrome
Red Skull had a pretty awesome car
Macetheace50
Not a scratch Doctor! Not a Scratch!
MetaVulture
How did it turn...?
huckyourmeat
Terribly
bread1
yes
CheeseborgarSoop
Counter-Phase all wheel steering.
SlimSam
This car is what we call the shit.
Discojeep
Movie magic. It’s all fiberglass & painted foam that’s currently falling apart. It’s a 9-iron. Looks great from 100 yards
Digitalblade
It IS shit, Austin.gif
polarbearbaby
The Shit.
PurifiedInTheWatersOfLakeMinnetonka
Didn’t Sean Connery accept his role in this movie after passing on The Matrix, because he didn’t understand the script?
Xerubay
Close, he passed on playing Gandalf in LOTR.
PurifiedInTheWatersOfLakeMinnetonka
He passed on that role too…and many others that would have boosted his career. Oh well.
bhobby1212
I was deeply in love with that theme of contemporary fantasy during that time and absolutely loved this movie
imalittlebutt
I wonder if they r secretly glad the movie flopped so they can keep the car
Racealistic
What final fantasy game is this from?
MrStealYourGiF
I kinda liked it, felt a bit more like a TV series double pilot episode than a movie though. I saw it on cheap night maybe so not pissed.
IamNICE124
Honestly woulda made for great television. It was a fun movie, despite its flaws.
Morpheaus
It was fun, but I do wish it hadn't been the last thing Sean Connery was attached to.
SlyMrFox
It wasn't. Look up the train wreck animated stuff he lent his voice to.
Morpheaus
Ehh...I'll pass.
MagnorCriol
I think I remember reading somewhere that it was originally supposed to be more (movies? TV series?) but they were forced to crunch it down.
MagnorCriol
(That's purely something a vaguely remember reading, possibly. I could be wrong. I ain't gonna research it.)
lotny
It is based on a comic and there was plenty of material in it for a series
SlyMrFox
A lot of very weird material that I doubt will ever get adapted, as much as I'd love it to be.
britdick
People hated that movie. I loved it. Pure bollocks escapism.
BlackCatCasper
Made Sean Connery quit acting
TheRicM
Also for the time period, it was ok. Nothing really to compare it to at the time. If you watched it years after it came out, diff. story
dohrmiester39
I fucking loved their take on Captain Nemo's sub/accompanying gadgets
CreativeThief
Also: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
judgementryu
Budget of the movie was way over that of a B-movie. But even so, really don't think it's deserving of the hate it gets.
Wootnessmonster
It's deliciously terrible
DocWino
Absolutely agree. I enjoyed it very much and have seen it a couple times which is saying something for me as I rarely rewatch anything.
SunBrolem
Its on the same level as Van Helsing, the one with Hugh Jackman. Pure schlock, and what glorious schlock it was!
meltedfaceguy
Kate beckinsale in that movie…. Goddamn what a woman she is. Oh lawdy mamma
travisflagg61411
I really don't get why people hate on the film so much. Sure, all the Tom Sawyer scenes were shoehorned, but the rest of it was really fun!
dcjunkee
Ironically, it was the Tom Sawyer scenes that got them sued.

FactWino
How would that steer? I assume all four front wheels would turn, but how would that effect the handling?
Hammerwell
How about all tree axles, like a truck crane? They can move sideways diagonally.
JoshuaHarazin
Look up Tyrrell P34.. The 6-wheeled F1 car from the 70s that actually did quite well.
RosieGarden
That's the neat part, it doesn't :V
PeterTried
Would probably be better to let the rear wheels steer. One could cut a nice curve that way, like, say a forklift.

blacksheep214
Quick shot of it turning, but mostly obscured. Considering it was so prominent in the trailers it didn't really get much screen time.
ChloeRed
Probably a bit like a Bedford VAL
3 axle with 2 steering wasn't common, but it was done for more 1/
ChloeRed
control when needed, the VALs were meant to do tours to mountainous countries (hence the VAL in the original Italian Job) 2/2
MrStealYourGiF
I believe they cut down one of those chassis for the FAB 1 promo car, Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce.
ChloeRed
IIRC, you are correct
MrStealYourGiF
Linkage sauce, a la Anglais autoranslate (looks like) http://www.sixmania.fr/en/la-fabuleuse-histoire-de-la-vraie-fab-1-premiere-partie/
KingMCG
Awful movie, great comic books. Excellent casting, bad dialog.
Muszkatela
i've read the comic and it went into overly edgy trippy pulp beaming with negativity without any trace of initial adventure vibes.
Muszkatela
It wasn't a good kind of social critique, like watchmen. i agree about the movie tho, looked good on screenshots, not so much on script
georgedragonslayer
So much potential. So much confusion on my part to really want to like it. Sadly, no such joy.
thepsudo
I very much want to read that comic
KingMCG
All of them, and the Nemo spin off, are well done. Vol 2 is my favorite
thegrimreaver
I really enjoyed Vols. 1 & 2, but I couldn't get through Vol. 3. Just doesn't have the same charm as the first 2.
KingMCG
3 was so odd I ended up spending several weeks reading the source materials. Worth it.
Harbltron
You should, it's very good. Alan Moore wrote it.
ollikahn
Alan Moore is a national treasure
Bestiarium
I absolutely loved this movie. I'm very curious about the reboot, I really hope it'll be good.
DVSBSTrD
I hope this time they find a way to include Mary Poppins as God.
DocWino
I liked the movie as well. Wasn’t aware of a reboot.
mmmdonutss
That movie was awesome. I didn’t realize James Bond was so old. I don’t know why people hate on it so much.
RebeccaRuxin
I enjoyed it but I also knew it wasn’t a quality film
Bestiarium
I've been meaning to check out the comics
Morpheaus
The comics are not very good.
DaringSteel
Definitely recommend the comics over the movie.
Chromeburn8
Comic is way better than the movie. More adult though. Movie is just, meh. Forgettable.
Duraxis
The comics get very dark very fast, just a warning
Harbltron
Mr. Hyde in particular does some... questionable things.
Duraxis
I mean… so did the other guy, but yeah. That’s no way to go ?
