Note i spell non un holy
the unholy 3
this is my review opn The Unholy Three from 1925 (100 years before Transformers Victory hasppened)
Its directed by Todd Browning who makes offbeat and f'd up weird films with the same bunch of his homies
Totally not like Tim Burton
It stars Lon Chaney, Mae Busch from Doctor X, Matt Moore from the 1916 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Victor McLaglen from The Quiet Man, Harry Earles from Freaks and The Wizard of Oz (in the lollypop guild), Edward Connelly from The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse/The Prisoner of Zenda/The Torrent/The Show, E. Alyn Warren from The Mask of Fu Manchu aND SOME 1800S HOMIES I NEVER SAW IN ANYTHING ELSE
I SAW THGIS BEFORE AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD
f u caps lock
also it was remade as lon chaney's only taLKIE WITH A NEW DIRECTOR BUT i think this ones better
as todd browning ran away and joined the circus as a youth; itr kindda screwed him up and he did all these crime movies of bad guys as the maion characters (usually lonb chaney)
so after credits and titles we get sideschow with a 600lb fat chick and people doing tricks like sword swallowing and siamese twibns
hercules is a strongman who bends horse shoes with his hands and a mom tells her kdf not to smoke so he can grow up strong like him
kinda f;d as smoking killerd lon chaney
then lon chaney is a vewntriloquest whop uses a dfummt called nemo annd after his show; sellsa a card of jokes for a dime
there;'s a dancingh girl who wears an outfitr thats sexy for the 1800s and will do more if they come in and pay more
theres a chick who lon likes who gives him a watch but she wont go out with him as hes too honest
i tthink shes a pickpcklet and lon trys to turn her straight
then thewres a midget who goes mental at people jokingh at him and kicks a kid
a brawl breaks out and lon gives the stuff stole to chick and hides wiuth his dummy as the cops come in
later this cheepy guy like the joker is planning smething with midget and i think herc and they can make millions
strongman sez its spooky ort unholy and creepy guy, wjho i thinik is lon chaney, sez; they'll call themselves; the unholy 3
that sounds like a p0rn0 ort demon worship group
so then theres a pet shop and chick is there and likes this guy hector and this granny takes care of a baby
granny gets p-ssed at her for coming onto hector and takkes off the wiog bto reveal its lon chaney and baby is midget
midget nmouths off to lon who is gonna kick his lttle a55 but herc comes in and sstops it
so granny lon comes out (and they'd probably call lon chaney gender issues now as he wears a dress like they did for lancer ihn robotech) and uses his ventriloquism to make it look like da burdz talk
also the paper sez a house they ssold a bird to got jacked last night
a guy calls saying the patrrrot theyt sold him dont talk and this isn't the 1st time
lon tells him that he's gonna come over to make it feel at home
lon and midget come by and leavbves midget in a room saying he'dd cry is he sees the b i r d and midged acts like it wants the shiny nmecklace jewels this guy holfds
lon coes back and gets midget to give it up and they leave
then its Chriatrmas Eve (Is this a Xmas movie?) and in da shop the 3 are in da back and hector knocks something overt wioth a xmas tree
but the 3 are not in costume aND would be recognised and lon told chick to stay away from hector
they hide and hector sez for granny to go back to bed as chick and hect trim da tree
lon wants to pull a job tonight and wants hector out and chick goes out and sezx granny otta help with the tree
herc sez he's the stronbg one sop he should bne in charge and lon gets dressed as granny and comes out
midget and herc go out to do the job and hectersez to lon he wants chick to marry him
later we get a newspaper saying the guy with the jewels was iced and his 3 year old was f'd up in the robbery
they chopped up a 3 year old? that's pretty f'd, esp for a 20s film
at the store the midget lauighs at how his vcictim begged for his life as he iced him and strongman hercules joins in but lon thiunks they are sh-t ofr killing a guy
for once; lon chaney is the lesser of 3 evils
usually hes the remorseless killer like in phantom of the operas or the unknown
so the cops fdind thast granny and her baby knew there wwere jewels in the place
lon wants to not have the jewels as they were attained through murder(but stealing is ok? there's commandments against both! Why not just get emm through b0ning?!)
then the detective comes by and asks em about the guy who was iced but think it was a guy they saw who did it
midgelato hides his jewels in a toy elephant thats head moves and cop picks it up to look at it
its a close call but midget calls it a cow and wants it back but cop notices it rattcles
hercules takes it and gives it to the midget saying he hates people teasing babies
midget reaches in it and eats something like candy or t-rds in it to savery suspeicoionm
then midget bankgs on this drum and coop goes to the store area to talk to hector abnout the bird delivery
theres a huge ape pl;ayed by a normal sized chimp in a cager but they use tricks to make it look bigger,, and do a good job
hector checks the scheduel and finds he delivered the bird and cop is suspect
they decide to frsame hector for the weacking by plantiung the jewels in hius room as they are gooing for bearign false witness and their next ccommandment to break
in xmas hector wants to marry chick but she laughs as she rerveals she never loved him amnd weeas leading him on
heartbroken he pulls out a deringer and puts int it his mout, then pulls the trigger and his head blows open from the top
jk really he leaves sadly and chick feels sad too and throws an itgem
he returns and she reveals she tried not to but actually loved him but shes a pick pocket and he dont care as he did bad when he was young
buit midgeto has planted the jewels in his room and escaped
hector leaves but lon head it and confronts her but she sez she loves him and lon sez he's gonna do something about it
later the papers say how hector was arested for wacking the jewel guy
At base; lon reads the paper and it says hectors alibni was being weith granny at the store so lon is gonna stop cross dressing but herc sez he cant as cop saw herc here and he can't take off his make up like him
they argue and hgerc is strangling lon but chick comes in and says shes gonna save hector from the chair
lon and herc catch her and the cops have sent ofdficer regan (like in blue bloods) to the bird store
herc and midghet take chicm to the car and lon empties the store of sh-t and herc gets the huge a55 ape, which is done with the midget in clothes like herc shot from behind to look like its him
it looks real but you can tell how they did it
better than cr-ppyu a555 cgi they'd use noiw
or the guy in the cr-ppy a66 ape suit in the remake
wait; its long gettinmmg apula in
they get away before the cops come and by spring the case has reached trial
the defence canty find granny as a witness or chick and the unholy guys have been hiding up in a cabin withnthe apeasaur in a room with a small chair to make the ape look huge
chick and lon go for a walk and midget wants to cut lon out anmd split the loot between him and herc
herc is gonna j fk lon but has a better idea
chick sez to lon if he saves hector she'd be his woman but lon knows shes love him more
lke in hokuto no ken with shin and yuria and ken
also hew thinks she'd betray him and ruin off with hectror
she sez she loves hector and will be his woman lie in degrassi how bianca was that guys butt buddy to save drew from his gang and lon believs her and goes to the city
in court he slips a not to the defence saying itsx from, granny and tells him to go on the stand and not say anything
he does aND he lon throws his voice to make it seem like hector is talking to tell the granny and other 2 werre men called the unholy 3
but the judge sez no one corfirmed the story
at the cabin; midget seez herc offering tpo run off ewith chick and take the loot and midget frees the huge ape to waste em
the ape is shot in the doorway with a projection thing i think so it looks like its as tall as the doorway
also he comes out of a smaller doorway to look like he';s that big
herc busts into the midghets room and sdtrangles him as the ape breaks into his room and either b0nbes him dead or tears him apart with its bear hands
chick runs and the copsd are coming by and she gets em
at the trial, lon asks a guy if hector will get the chair and he sez yes
lon then stands up in court b4 the jury comes out and admits to being granny and in the unholy 3
he confesses his crimes offscreen and the law lets hectror and lon go
later hector gets a letter from chick saying she loves him but cant see him anymore
chick goes to ln to fulfill her end of the bargin and he sez they don't love each other so she an go with hector
she goes off and reunites with hector and makes out in public, witch is too much for mthe 20s and they'd probably be charged with pubnlic indecency
then lon goers back to his side show job after he sacrificed his chance to get the girl he's into so she could be happy like pretty much every other lon chaney movie
the end
that was quite good
nice clean crime story
goood acting and style
good effects
no swearing or nude scenes or gore
good message
lon chaney was good as usual
it had a huge fat chick
the ape scnees were well done
good twists
it holds up
tod browning does it again
For Teh Unholy Three 2 I want it to be about the huge ape that iced the strong man to be roaming the countryside and coming acxross a sasquatch hive and being an ape; attcks them and busts em up. also its an 8 bit nes, game boy, atari 7800 and lynx, tg16, sega master system and game gear where you play as the aper and bust through their town and take on the sasquatch forces.
