A hilarious headbanger finally makes it after struggling for decades, revealing it was all because of a childhood incident when the dark forces of heavy metal reached out from the grave.A hilarious headbanger finally makes it after struggling for decades, revealing it was all because of a childhood incident when the dark forces of heavy metal reached out from the grave.A hilarious headbanger finally makes it after struggling for decades, revealing it was all because of a childhood incident when the dark forces of heavy metal reached out from the grave.

    A Unique Experience On and Off Screen

    I had the incredible opportunity to be a background actor in Deaner '89, and the entire experience was unforgettable. From being on set to seeing the final product on release day, it was surreal to watch the movie come to life, especially after seeing so much of what went on behind the scenes.

    I even got to meet Paul Spence, who couldn't have been nicer. In one scene, he had to push past me, and he took the time to check in and make sure I knew what was happening. As a freshly 18-year-old working on my very first project, it meant the world to me. It was such a small moment, but it showed how professional and kind he was.

    Maybe I'm a little biased from being part of the filming process, but I genuinely enjoyed the movie. It has that raw, nostalgic energy with just the right mix of humor and heart. Whether you're a fan of FUBAR or just looking for something different, Deaner '89 is a ride worth taking.

    Deaner is back and deadly!!

    Loved the two Fubar movies and loved this!! Nice cameos by Kids in the Hall's Kevin McDonald who plays a shop teacher, MadTV's Will Sasso who plays his dad and hockey coach and This Hour Has 22 Minute's Mary Walsh who plays Deaner's girlfriends mom who was in a punk rock band. Yes this may not be an intellectual masterpiece but it made me smile and laugh which is what the world needs more of. I especially loved the inclusion of old school rock/metal bands like Dokken, Judas Priest, Metallica, etc. And Dean meeting a member of Dokken as he was denied entrance into the concert venue. Reminded me of when Wayne & Garth going backstage to meet Alice Cooper & Aerosmith. Hopefully they continue to make these rock comedies in the tradition of Spinal Tap. Cheers and rock on deadly dudes!!

    Cool Origin Story

    I've liked most of the spin offs from the Fubar franchise and this one is quite fun as well. Some good humor, Canadian stereotypes as always. Cool to see some funny Canadians names like Will Sasso & Kevin McDonald. I think this proved that Paul Spence can keep his character in this franchise going on his own but I would still like to see him and Terry back together with the Trailer Park Boys/Swearnet. Good little origin story.

    Wicked killer flick

    10/10;) deadly movie that's all about givner. Writing this review cuz deaner deserves a 10/10 not no 5.5 like come on this is the deadliest movie of the decade. I saw d'89 with my buddies while drinking a couple brews and that's what dean nation is about man and if you ain't about that then what are you even doin? Although I think that this flick should have gone to dvd and not to streaming services to stick with the classic style we love fubar for (acknowledging that the two movies have no legal ties so to speak) still a wicked movie to pass down to the ever evolving headbangers. I've always wanted to see the backstory of the governor of giviner. Now go watch this deadly flick.

    Heavy metal indigenous view!

    As a Métis person this movie inspired me to appreciate more my roots, as a metal head this movie inspired me to appreciate more my rooooots (blooooody roooooots) haha I know sepultura isn't the type of metal we're talking about here but it fits🤘🏼

    But in all seriousness, this is an incredible movie and even though it outside the FUBAR world now it still has the spirit of the original movies with Deaners character.

    This movie will be watched along side the originals by all of the old school fubar fans guaranteed as if it were a sequel to the originals, INSTANT CANADIAN CLASSIC 100%

    Rent or buy this movie is worth every single penny.
