Battlefield Earth Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Battlefield Earth!

Battlefield Earth is a movie that exists. John Travolta is in the movie and pushed really hard to get it made. It now exists. This is a movie that exists.

Battlefield Earth raises some questions. Like why does this movie exist? How did this get made? Someone made this - why did they do that?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Battlefield Earth.

I wonder how tempted Ryan was to film this whole thing at a dutch angle.

The rare occasion where the Pitch Meeting is less insane than the real pitch meeting

Me and my friends rented this for a sleepover when we were kids, they all fell asleep maybe 20 mins in and I was the only one who finished it. The next morning they asked me how it ended and they ended up replaying it because they didn't believe what I described.

This movie was MADE for Pitch Meetings. Thank you.

I saw this movie in the theaters and let me just tell you... when i was a kid, going to the movies was a rare privilege. So whenever me and my siblings were able to go to one we reveled at the opportunity no matter what we were watching. 20 mins into this movie and all 5 of my siblings were OUT COLD. I will never forget this memory

"Jet fuel doesn't have shelves sir, it's liquid. Where would you install shelves?"
Thank you. You are brilliant.

It's amazing how much better this makes "Battlefield Earth" sound than it actually was.

In all the many years of hearing people chat shit about this film, I realised today that I had never actually heard the plot described. What a fucking fever dream of a narrative

I finally watched this movie a couple of years ago. I thought it would be in the class "so bad it's good". Instead, it is "so bad it hurts".

A movie producer knowing Scientologists are watching him is the scariest/most truthful part of this.

As a tour guide, I started using your line 'super easy, barely an inconvenience' and someone else who watches Pitch Meeting noticed!!!

I was a teenager when I won free tickets to go see this at the cinemas with a friend. When we were about to line up a few people walked past us who just saw it and said 'don't bother'. We went and bought tickets to Gladiator instead. No regrets.

I am convinced that the cameraman for the movie had one leg that was much shorter than the other.

Thank you for suffering through this movie to bring us a Pitch Meeting, Ryan.

I actually went to the premiere in the cinema with my friends. The most memorable moment during the film was when y friend walked out. He assumed that sitting outside alone and smoking cigarettes would be better use of his time, and also better for his overall health.

A friend of ours was the manager for the small movie theater in town. She gave her husband, me, and another friend a free pass to watch it before it was officially released. I'm so glad that none of us paid money for it.

"well if the humans haven't been around for 1000 years that means there was nobody around to unplug it Sir" God Bless Ryan George

Producer guy: "hey, what's the shelf life of jet fuel?"

Writer guy: "jet fuel doesn't have shelves, sir; it's liquid."

Producer guy: "right!"

Writer guy: "where would you install shelves?"

Producer guy: "I don't know what I was thinking."

This had me lmao for like 5 or 10 mins lol😂

My roommate calls this film “Battlefield Holland” because of all the Dutch angles.

I just want to take a moment to thank Ryan for watching this movie and making this video so no one else ever has to watch it ever again
