Welcome back everybody to another episode of Carra-Ban, Carra-Ban, Carra-Ban, Mason. You're gonna leave this in? Yeah. Standard edition? It's gonna be, oh man, it's gonna drag this out, isn't it? That's right. We're gonna get their money's worth. But there's gonna be amazing animations happening behind it.

Maybe one of those roller coaster things. No! Like TikTokers don't have- Extended! You know the TikTok fans, they don't have any attention span anymore, so there's gonna be a roller coaster on the side. It's extended. Family Guy clip.

It's extended. They don't do that. Okay, great. This is it. Nice. Just dead air on a black screen. Terrific. Yeah. Alrighty. Welcome back everybody to another episode

of Caravan of Garbage where we're doing movies, but not just any movies. I love movies. Yeah. Do you like the four that we're doing? We're on the second one. I didn't like the first one. Am I gonna like the second one?

Hypoth... That's a... What's that thing? Not a hypothetical. You're being facetious? I'm being facetious! You didn't like Prince of Persia The Sands of Time 2010? I didn't hate it as much as you did.

Again, I think there's a trend emerging here. I think you're hating these movies a lot. Is that because you hate cinema? I do hate cinema, but also- This was pure cinema on a level of Lawrence of Arabia! No, Mason! In the sense that everybody's white in it. Everybody! That's the only part that I liked Mason!

Oh no! Anyways, please leave a like because we're doing badly made movies that did badly at the box office video game edition. Oh yeah, we could franchise this out. Absolutely. Get other people to do it is what I'm saying. Well here's the thing though, this was hoping to be a franchise because Disney ever since Pirates have been looking for the next Pirates of the Caribbean. I knew it had that flavor to it didn't it? Toothless. Yeah and you know what?

They still haven't found it. They haven't. In many ways they never had it. In a way the first couple of those Pirates movies were uh were lighting in a bottle and they've never recaptured it. In a way. pirates movies were uh were about lightning in a bottle yeah and they've never recaptured it in a way yeah well this is a gerry brockheimer production as well so you know this is literally what they were doing they were like let's do a big pirates franchise let's get a swash buckling dude running about what do you think the story is behind the gerry brockheimer like production logo because there's a road and then there's a tree getting struck by lightning. Is that the lightning that hit the Pirates franchise? Well, they didn't catch it, did they? No, they didn't.

They burned that tree down. Probably going to fall on the road, cause an accident. This is fun. So Jerry Brackheimer, upon purchasing the film rights to the Prince of Persia games, said, is it the one where it's got that assassin and he leaps off a rooftop and he like, you know, all dramatically and he falls into a haystack and they're like, no, that's Assassin's Creed. And he's like, can we do some Assassin's Creed stuff anyway?

Can we just chuck that in? How much can we do without being sued? Well it's all Ubisoft, so all of it. All of it then, perfect. We'll get to Assassin's Creed, Mason. I bet we will. So upon purchasing the rights to the Prints of Persia games, he had hoped that the film could be a brother franchise of sorts to the Pirates of the Caribbean and had anticipated

that the series would go on for seven films. Now I feel like seven films. Now if this had have kept going and Pirates were still going, these would have merged by now, right? Oh my god, that's right. And Tron. Yeah. Just match them all in.

A bunch of wet guys and a bunch of sweaty guys finally teaming up. Yeah, crossover we always wanted. Yeah. You know what the problem with this movie is? A lot of things. I think also I used to say that this is the best video game movie and maybe in 2010 it was but there were Resident evils and I think one of the Tomb Raiders was good and the first Street Fighter is pretty fun and Mortal Kombat and Max Payne's great. So you could read a book could read a book you could read a worlds of power junior novelization of a blaster master or Castlevania Oh get some culture into you you idiots. There's some metal here one look them up. There'll be a dollar on a fight Nobody wants those Mason. Oh play a video game. Yeah, I read a book. That's a really good point I'll try with you. We only read them because we couldn't play a video game in reading time at school. That is so true. Yeah, man. So

one of the problems with this is Dastin, the main character. Prince Dastin? Hello, I'm Prince Dastin. I'm the Prince of Persia. So apparently Jake Gyllenhaal, his name's pronounced Gillen Hale or something like that. Look, I'm going to say it however I say it. It's not right. However you're doing it is wrong. There's one way to do it. Here's how it is. Nobody does it like that. Anyways, he said he found it hard to nail down the English accent. Because it's important when you're doing a movie set in some mythical Arabian lands. You gotta nail that English accent because that's how they sound it. It's not this kind of movie, Mason, to quote Harrison Ford. You know, it's fine.

They don't have to be all English. Also, he's wrong. None of them should be English. No, that's what I'm saying. I agree. But he's also wrong for the role because I think they were going for like I get sort of a Captain Jack Sparrow But more of a Rick O'Connell a Star-Lord, whatever Chris Pine's character was named in Dungeons and Dragons That's what they were going for here. And Jake Gyllenhaal hadn't worked out at this point in his life that he just works better as a creep. Oh, absolutely, yeah.

Don't you think? He's got that creepy intensity, doesn't he? He got it pretty early in Donnie Darko and he tried to pivot away from it. That's right. But he's creeped his way back into the creep zone. I could get abs, I could get pecs. We don't want that.

Yeah. We want a sweaty, sunken chest off you, Gyllenhaal. That's what we want. Well, he's still getting abs though, isn't he? Yeah, this did give me want to be the mummy vibes. Yeah. With Jalen Hall in the Brendan Fraser role, we got Gemma Arterton, who's given me that Rachel Weisz vibe.

Oh yeah. I think they were hoping for that chemistry. They were really leaning heavily in this movie into that like, well, they're enemies, but are they going to turn into lovers kind of vibe? And I'm like, it doesn't work. It seems like they really hate each other like you know they're always putting themselves and each other into like dangerous situations he's like I'm gonna sell you into a sex trade or whatever he's like

just kidding it's an ostrich race whatever huh like I don't get the sense that like she tries to like full on stab him at one point but then at one point she's just like we're in danger let's run away together like there's no there's no consistency exactly between these these characters I mean, maybe the heat's driven. I'm crazy. Maybe the heat has driven them crazy. So here's the thing, right? I'm a big fan of these particular games the sands of time trilogy. Well, there's more than that But let's just say the trilogy right? He's Fanny the original. Yeah, the blip and the blop I'm a red. I'm blipped and blocked my Mason. It's not as good as The Sands of Time.

It's better than this movie, but the game I'm saying, Mason. But there's a bunch of shit in this where I don't understand why they're complicating any of it. Because they're making it so that he's a prince from the street, and he's got brothers, and they're all sort of vying to be the king or whatever, but not really. So he's kind of like, oh, he's got a heart of gold because he's basically fucking Aladdin or whatever, right? Yeah, yeah. Where in the game, he just kind of sucks. Okay.

And he does a horrible thing, he unleashes the sands of time, and there's a bunch of sand zombies and everybody gets turned into a sand zombie, except him and the lady, and they do a fun, kind of parkouring romantic adventure, like around the tower. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's great, and it's like self-contained. For a video game, you believe, you know, the romantic tension and relationship for a game

from, you know, 2003. Oh, that sounds really appealing. They should make a movie out of that, I reckon. Sand zombies does sound an awful lot like the mummies from The Mummy, so maybe they had to... They didn't get any sand zombies in this got some sort of pseudo undead not really guys just a guy carrying some snakes we got some Assassin's Creed guys who've got all sorts of Assassin's Creed weapons they can fling darts and then we

get it we get another angry knife to add to our collection did you notice the angry knife I did this to not that I mean there's the there's the main knife yeah yeah the sand knife yawn we'll get to that in a second, but there is another, it's just a grumpy headed knife. I love it. I wonder if you can buy that one. Do you reckon you could? No, no, absolutely not. And I think like often I'll say,

they change things from video games and different adaptations and who cares, right? But that's only true if you make it like as good or better. Sure, absolutely. Like The Last of Us, this is not, this is actually offensive to me Mason. Yeah, I can tell. I'm offended. You're boiling over, like you were in the Saharan desert.

Exactly. And look, a lot of it really is just running about under different cloaks and hoods. You put a bit of cloth over your mouth and you tumble through a marketplace. You enter a busy square and you're looking around. Fucking boring. What a boring movie and you're looking around, fucking boring, what a boring movie. It could work though, couldn't it? As you mentioned, that's the entire premise of Aladdin, plus the genie stuff. Plus the genie stuff. But most of it is running around in a marketplace with a little scarf over your face or whatever. Exactly, and as

mentioned, I just I need to come back to this, the romance. I've just written, sucks. The back and forth is dreadful. The video game again, it's so much more dynamic and fun and there's a bit of push and pull and who's going to betray whatever. And that is, I guess, here. But it's more, like you said, confusing. Anyway, Assassin's Cape, Poison Cape. Oh, there is a Poison Cape. Just god, I am sick of all these movies where with the inciting incident is a man, a king is killed by putting on a poison cape that takes a really long time to affect him. It's got a countdown. And then melts him instantly.

Yeah, man. It's great. It must be difficult if you live in the Prince of Persia universe to know ultimately who is going to betray you because everybody is sporting that sinister eye makeup. Boy, do they, yeah. Everybody looks like an evil vizier of some sort. Everyone. Like is it going to be Ben Kingsley? Is it going to be my brother who played Koba in Planet of the Apes or whatever?

Oh yeah, Toby Gable. Maybe he's not my brother, I don't know. Or is my other brother? Is he? I don't know. Yeah, maybe he's in Dracula Untold, we don't know. No. He could be. Yeah. Yeah, but like why a poison cape? and they keep bringing it up like through the thing

I didn't give him the poison cape. I swear to god. I didn't know the cape was poison Could have said acid cape like that would more than poison. It's more of an acid cape anyway, isn't it? I guess but why not like a poison why? Exactly. Yep. Why not? If he just never puts on the poisoned cape. What if he's like that looks that fine beading work I don't want to wreck that. that by taking it out on a walk. Put it directly in the case. You sure you don't want to wear the regular cape? Sure you don't want to wear the regular cape? No, it's a wonderful trophy. Put it on the wall. I don't know, maybe even poisoned Persian cocaine, you know?

Absolutely. Which might just be sand in this universe. I don't know. What would happen if you did a line of time sand What do you reckon that would do to you think that'd spice up your weekend? Let me tell you I think you'd be coming back to work in your office on Monday, and you'd be like Let me tell you I got into some ostrich races Okay, let's talk ostrich races because Alfred Molina is in this and he's a libertarian with a dream to live tax-free Yes, and run a small ostrich racing business slash scam. Yeah, you're loving all the work that he's doing here

Yes, it's just like everybody in this movie a classically trained English actor tanned up to the nines and some eyeliner Oh, I mean he is like I think he's like one of his parents is Spanish. So it's it's it's fine They're making it work his last name ends in a vowel. It's fine. That's practically Arabian. That's fine. I think he's the best part of the movie and the second best part of the movie is an action sequence towards the end that doesn't feature any of the main characters. It's just Alfred Molina's like Lieutenant versus the assassin. Yeah, they're fighting with daggers and knives and throwing stuff and there's snakes and they're jumping between yeah, you know that that bit's great and then the leads are nowhere to be found I imagine because they went a Ben Kingsley you want to be an action sequence where you jump around

insider and no, okay Anywhere we haven't said where yet? Well in the game Ben Kingsley is like the bad guy, but he's a vizier. Okay, well the that character and he Makes the prince unlock the sands of time, et cetera, whatever. And then the prince at the end, he reverses time. And so it's before the time has been released, the time sands. This is the plot of the movie, basically.

Yeah, and then you just like go into a bedroom and you just beat the shit out of him. And he's got a staff, but you've spent the whole game finessing combat against sand zombies. You've got a flaming scimitar and you just kick a dude's bedroom door open and you'll be heading with it. Not quite but pretty much yeah.

So it's pretty fun. Again I will highly recommend the games. But the plot of this one is the good guys quote unquote good guys they have a nearby Arabian night invade a nearby enemy city to ostensibly to take it over and to find these weapons that they're smuggling What have you but actually it's a metaphor. I just got it. It's an Iraq war metaphor. I just got it Yeah, yeah, yeah, that bumps this movie down actually because it's really poorly handled You're already at zero. Yeah, I know.

Where are you gonna go? It's not that bad. I didn't know we could do negative numbers on this thing. I've been doing it for years. It's not that bad. But anyway, actually- But it's $200 million, it should be better. Secretly, he wants the magical dagger filled with magic sand,

and if you push a button on top of it, it reverses time for a bit. And it's initially in the hands of Gemma Arterton. And then it gets taken away. The city gets invaded and she gives it away to one of her lieutenants and he goes away. And I spent most, once it was revealed what the power of the dagger was, I spent most of the movie going, at some point we're going to reveal why she didn't just reverse time initially and just get out of the situation. And it never happens. Just- Probably didn't just reverse time initially and just get out of the situation.

And it never happens. Yeah. Just. She probably didn't think of it. Oh yeah, cause she was too busy being rude. Yeah, she was being quite rude. Too busy being rude and sassy. Yeah.

Tell you what, it's probably a metaphor for a different war that we've forgotten about potentially. God, there's a moment in this where it just becomes Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring where they're just chased by ominous guys on horseback with like black cloaks and whatever. That's a classic action sequence if done well, and it wasn't The snakes bit where they're throwing snakes at each other. That's a good bit No, we haven't even mentioned that the entire basis of this movie seems to be built around parkour Huh, like all the behind-the-scenes stuff. It's just them guy. We've got around parkour. Like all the behind the scenes stuff, it's just them going, we got some parkour guys,

we're gonna Jake Gyllenhaal to do parkour. We're gonna do parkour. Was this prime time for parkour or it had parkour's time past? It was four years after Casino Royale. Right, the peak of parkour on the big screen. The peak of parkour, yeah. But again, as we talked about,

and I think when we talked about that movie, it's never been done better in a movie. And I know there's like specific parkour movies where there's better technical parkour. Oh absolutely sure. But I don't care. That doesn't have Daniel Craig leaping guerrilla style through a wall. So I'm not interested. Exactly. But some of the special effects in this, there's a moment where he's sliding down a bunch of collapsing sand stuff. And it looks like, speaking of James Bond, it

looks like the windsurfing in Die Another Day. It's like that. The thought that I had at that moment was, I feel like if you're gonna make a movie set in a really sandy environment, maybe work really hard on your sand VFX. Spider-Man 3. Because otherwise it's gonna look bad.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Exactly, and it does. But in the end, Ben Kingsley, we find find out it was Ben Kingsley by the way everyone I hope you're keeping up He was he wants to get the knife and he wants to stab the knife into them in the they call it a sand glass The entire movie and I know technically you can call it that but everybody in the universe calls it an hourglass But I guess they thought that the viewers would confuse be like is there gonna be another hour of this

I think it's gonna be another hour. I, it's just called that. It's just what we call it. I think it was just called like the sands of time. And there's like a big thing in the game from memory. I didn't even notice they did that. Anyway, don't release the sand, but also you can do it. What he's going to do is he's going to stab the he's going to stand, he's going to stab the hourglass with the knife and then he's going to reverse time to when he and his brother were kids and he saved his brother, but then he's gonna reverse time to when he and his brother were kids

and he saved his brother but then he's gonna not save his brother so then his brother won't become the king and then he can become the king. Yeah. Seems complicated. It is complicated, yeah. But he could have done it I reckon.

But yeah, maybe. I think that's going too far back. Butterfly effect rules, I think that's going way too far back. Yeah, you think he could have done it earlier. I reckon you go back to just before the poison cape. And you push him down some stairs instead. Oh, okay, yeah, that works.

Because there's no way to prove that you pushed him down the stairs. Oh yeah, because there's no, I'm going to say there's no time machine. There is a time machine. There's the exact time machine in this movie, yeah. There's no video camera. That's exactly right. And in this movie, he's undone because he... Hopefully no one's chiseling out the scene as you're doing it. That's right.

Fred Flintstone style. That's right. Because in the movie, he's's undone of course because he has burns on his hands because he handled the poison Okay, you idiot or he gave the poison caped to his brother So so in this you just kick somebody down the stairs Yeah, you know maybe you'll have their bum print on your shoe maybe just brush it in the sand a bit They're not gonna look they're not gonna look they're not gonna look at your shoe god damn Anyway, there's too much sand released though. Jake Gyllenhaal gets to go back in time and that's okay. And then he goes back in time to when he first finds the knife and then he goes to Ben Kingsley

and he's like, you're gonna betray us. And Ben Kingsley's like, Ah ha ha! This guy's had too much sun. And then Gyllenhaal goes, no you are though. And then Ben Kingsley's like, have it to you. He's like, all right, the game's up. I'm gonna do some stabbing. We're sword fighting, I guess, on these stairs. No proof, also he hadn't done the murder at that point, I believe.

Oh my God, is this pre-crime? It's pre-crime. Is this movie both a video game adaptation and a prequel to Minority Report? Yes. Wow. Yeah, that end bit where they're on the steps and having that little exchange.

Gill and Hall and Gemma Arterton. Yeah, and Ben King. Okay, right. It feels like the end of like a Sherlock homeschool play where they're just like, I know you did it, I would know, well, I've got the evidence and what, yuck. Mason? Yes.

Got a new section of the show. New section? Yep. I don't know if I like that. No, you're gonna like this. Because we've had a very successful run of not doing anything new. That's how a franchise works. Don't try anything new. Okay, how about this?

We try it, and if everybody hates it, which they will, we'll never talk about it again. Okay, great. Alright, it's called Thoughts and Prizes. And the funny thing about this is, you can actually win prizes in this section of the video. That's for you, Mason, and the people watching at home. Really? What kind of prizes? I'll let you know at the end if you win.

If the listeners win, do I not get the prizes? No, you all would get a prize technically. Depends if you win. What's the prize? We'll talk about it at the end. This is a trick. It's not a trick. This is a trick.

You're sneaky like a grand vizier of some sort. Anyway, thoughts and prizes. So here's my thoughts. And the prizes will be at the end. Alright. Is this a pun? What is he doing? Is this a play on words?

Thoughts and prizes. I don't know. So he's up to something, isn't he, listeners and viewers? We'll get him after this. Don't do it. I don't like how the outfit that he wears at the start, it's more akin to the game Warrior Within, which is the sequel to Sansa Time. He never gets in the blue outfit at the start and then goes shirtless. Because in the game he's got a funny little

blue outfit and as you climb the tower or whatever you do the game the outfit strips away and at the end you're just shirtless with a big pair of puffy pants. Interesting. I don't like that. They went straight to the sequel which was more goth. Which sure maybe worked for the game I guess, but it doesn't work here. You don't open with that. You build to it. Alright. Great thought. Thank you for that. Thank you. Appreciate that. I mentioned this but where are the Sansa... I mean nerd alert obviously. No, no, no, no, no, I guess, but it doesn't work here. You don't open with that. You build to it. All right, great thought. Thank you for that. Thank you. Appreciate that. I mentioned this, but where are the sand?

I mean, nerd alert, obviously. No, no, no, no, no, no. I mentioned this, but where are the sand zombies? It's a good point. I mean, why wouldn't you even put some sand zombies in this? Because it's expensive and you just have guys in robes. I guess you could, yeah, yeah. Remember the bit where Jake Gyllenhaal,

he lands in the room and there's beautiful ladies and they're like, ooh. Ooh, where did this, mm, this is where the other man come from. And he takes the time to be like, I'm they're like, where did this swarthy young man come from? And he takes the time to be like, I'm here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm being sexy here.

But he's not, he's a creep. Yeah, he is. That's true. Yeah. Imagine if Nightcrawler had come through in the room. Hello, I'm just going to take pictures of an accident. Get out of here. They knew.

They knew that was embedded in his soul. Yep. Last thought for thoughts and prizes is, it's funny when Toby Kebbell dies and his nose is squished down in his helmet and he looks silly. That's pretty funny. Yeah, yeah.

Jalen Hall and he, they're finally having their little, their little, you know, man-to-man talk and they finally get some- We're brothers or whatever. We get some closure. I didn't give him the poison cape. Well, I guess, cause we're in this room, I believe you now. And then, and then Toby Kebbell just hears a bit of noise and he's like, well, better put

my entire body out of the door. Oh, it's arrows. It's so many arrows. Wow. Yeah, finally, there were a device that could reverse time just slightly. Yeah, there isn't. Luckily, this is a toothless bloodless Disney style movie. So by the end, I'll be fine.

Yeah, he will be, yeah. And by the end of this movie, we'll have a device that, I guess, will enable us to reverse any bad things that ever happen? That's right. Forever? Well, if they did more movies, there's consequences for unlocking the sands of time. The Dahaka will come after you. Oh my god.

I don't want to get into it. James, are you being chased by them in real life? I can't tell you that. It's not important what I'm up to outside of these videos. That's actually my own personal and private time. James did you unleash some ungodly demon spirits because you forgot to pick your kid up from school or something and your wife got mad at you and so you reversed time? No.

I would never do that. Alright. I would never do that and I would never be constantly searching for the water sword because it's the only thing that can stop the dahaka. That's not what I'm doing. I'm actually working on videos a lot. That's what I'm doing Mason. Anyways that was the end of thoughts and prizes and unfortunately nobody has won any prizes. Now it's time for Prince of Trivia. I don't even know what that was. The Sands of Trivia. James you've got to give out a prize the first time because

otherwise nobody's gonna think they're gonna get a prize. Nobody's, everybody's gonna stop watching because they're like well there's not gonna be any prizes. Nobody contributed the thing that was supposed to be for the prize. Nobody did it so we don't, we're not doing it this way. Interesting. Maybe it'll come back, we'll see. Alright. This film was meant to be the first in a franchise as mentioned, akin to Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. However the film underperformed, despite selling well on DVD and Blu-ray. Ubisoft also shifted their attention to Assassin's Creed,

the video game, and dissipating interest in the franchise led to any sequel plans being abandoned. The final nail in the coffin was when Jake Gyllenhaal expressed regret in appearing in the film. Wow, burning his bridges. Yep. In his little blue britches. That would have got you a prize.

Oh man, too late. Got in after the buzzer. I think I learned a lot from that movie in that I spend a lot of time trying to be very thoughtful about the roles that I pick and why I'm picking them. And you're bound to slip up and be like, that wasn't right for me, or that didn't fit perfectly. And it certainly didn't Mason.

A Lego tie in toy line was released and it was the first Lego toy based in a video game. What a waste. Oh, but now that's all they do. Yeah, mostly. Yeah. I just wrote Assassin's Creed camera move. It was probably an earlier,

Ben and Lawrence probably put it in, but I gotta mention it. Here it is again. Yeah, it's happening here, isn't it? And I was looking at the IMDB trivia as I do. I watch a bunch of behind the scenes stuff, I read some fake facts on IMDB, and I actually found a fake fact.

Do you know for sure it's fake? Yep, I confirmed it. The fact was, Charlie Clawson was considered for the role of Prince Dastin. We know Charlie Clawson. We know Charlie Clawson, so I sent him a text. I said, hey man, true or false, were you considered for the role of the Prince of Persia? And he wrote, I've had permission to read this out, oh wow, that's a blast from the

past. Not to my knowledge was I ever considered. I think what happened was around 2006, someone used my face in some fan art and shared it on a forum and the rumour started from there. I had a manager at the time who asked me to take it down because it wasn't a good look. She thought I was campaigning to make it happen and was worried I might piss off the producers. I was also accused of whitewashing even though I literally had nothing to do with it." So there we have it folks, conclusive proof Charlie Clawson, bigot and racist.
