You got this one wrong because Rob Dyrdek's movie cost about the same to make and I believe only brought in 10 or 15 dollars profit....

Why didn't you continue this video?? What happened after the U.S. release? Did it actually _do_ what the creators had in mind the entire time for it? Cliff hangers _suck_ you know! I'd check myself on Google but I'm busy bi going your channel right now!! Soooo... 😂😂😂😂

Hmm, im from Iran.....
I don’t want to sound negative or anything. But this video is kind of silly. I thought it was going to tell me something interesting. Instead, he just explained that the movie was a straight to DVD production. Which is actually pretty common. Why didn’t he just title it. “Explanation of a straight to Video movie”
They could've made a movie about a government conspiracy going on below this unknown place or something that would've been cool but no
Am l tripping...or is this movie really making 30 dollars??? Is...is this shit fr??? Was there no promotion? No trailer? How tf... Yo I know the crew was mad af when they found out. Just 30 fucking dollars??? Yo they done wasted their effort and money goodness gracious!
The cact that this video pribably made more money than the movie is halarious
I know he was being snarky, but tom seizmore has been in a ton of not just movies, but good ones
Zzzyzx road was probably made to be the last road in wikipedia's list of roads by alphabetical order
I bet they got stonks after this Video
They should change screen actors guild to film actors guild.
i feel like there was something missing here... i just cant put my finger on it...
Atleast those 6 ppl can say,that they saw something historical in the theather.
You pronounce Zyzzyx incorrectly the first y sounds like a long I. A few people live and work there. There are classes at Zyzzyx regularly on archeology, history, photography and numerous other topics. I have given talks out there at the annual symposium and it is one of my favorite place in the desert. The movie crap though.
Nearly the entire crew didn't bother to watch it, let alone their friends and family.
$1.20003M profit.
*makes sense*
This movie really put zyzzx road on the map
This still sounds like a money laundering or tax scheme.
Years ago, I used to drive on I-15 and was always amused to see that sign. I had no idea there was some kind of village at the end.
2514
Dont forget about the official FIFA movie made in the middle of corruption scandals and only grossed around $600
I think United Passions (2014) has this beat. It starred Sam Neill, Gerard Depardeau and Tim Roth. It has a zero percent on rotten tomatoes (with an audience score of 11%). Metacritic has it at a 1 and IMDB at a 2.1. This bomb, about the founding of international soccer association FIFA, cost around $30 million to make (90% funded by FIFA) and grossed $607 in the United States. It might have done better overseas but I couldn’t find reliable numbers about that.
If you ever feel unappreciated, just remember this movie
As a S oCal safety consultant who has been by and on this road many many times it's good to see if I got some how Hollywood recognition s(sic)
"board games, for some reason" and then not show clue???
katherine heigl was on it??? so sad to see one of my favorite actresses on the biggest flop ever. So glad she is doing better now
I heard, several years ago, that there’s a pay phone at the end of the road and a man sits beside waiting to answer when it rings.
H.a.i there
I didn’t know I was a movie
You're saying Zyzzyx road wrong. The Z has a S sound not a Z sound
The boiling book ultimately fit because ronald desirably colour across a mixed daisy. difficult, acid credit
What’s the ending? I don’t really wanna watch it but I know there’s a secret about the girl that I’m curious about...
Katherine Heigl’s acting isn’t even good enough for porn.
Is it "Half as Interesting" because it's only "Half of the Story"?
I tried to drive down Zzyzx Road in September 2020 but sadly it was closed. Maybe they were making a sequel.
Plot Twist: Zzyzx Road was created because the creator accidently hit his keyboard
Here’s the real reason you should get skill share. To find out more about bricks.
A movies goin' the way of B quality, pure shit w no end
Thought it was the Star Wars prequels
This was half interesting because it has 50k likes
I've got a great idea for a movie about Wall St..... we'll call it "Waahl St." - Katherine Heigl also stars.
This was made before the cats movie, which stole the title of the move that lost the most money
smh should’ve made a movie about penguin road instead

Hi zyphon
I love this silly little channel
I think it went straight to DVD but Rob Dyrdek made a movie called Street Dreams that made $17
That film looks cool. I almost want to watch it
what is the point of a street and movie called zghdyczdryirsc road
Thank you for this. I have been wondering about that road since I drove by it.
What's interesting is there is a separate movie called Zyzyx that was released about 2 weeks before Zyzzyx Road was and also involves people going to Vegas, lol
I wonder how many times people have worked on a movie where they knew it was going to be a flop the whole time and just kept their mouths shut
They misspelled the title. It should be Zzyzx, not Zyzzyx.
The movie could be a tax dodge. When you make such a movie and only produce such little profit, it can be written off as a loss and therefore keep the studio from paying anything in taxes.

@Gapper Gob yes. Yes I did. Now you need to see a movie called the Producers. The 60's version. It tells about how two Producers unscrupulously takes money from rich elderly widowed women who bankrolls a play guaranteed to flop so the profits could be pocketed and the IRS could not audit them since the play flopped and claimed as a financial loss.

Did you even watch the video?
That record player story sounds similar than books that I have to read for school
"Katherine Heigl"... First clue, right there...
Good stone sour song though
I can’t imagine being one of the audience members when this film “premiered” in the theater...
I didn't read the title and mistakenly assumed that the movie made 30 million.
It's pronounced "Zi-Zicks." First I like "Rise," second I like "Vicks."
Why does it say Zzyzx road at 0:51 and zyzzyx road in the video thumbnail
Ive been to that movie theater lol
nothing about the preacher that christened that road nor the military base after his arrest nor his indian past???WTF???
Cats Hehe it’s small brain time
I'm pretty sure a 9 year old could name a better title.
*insert Mulan (2020) joke here*
They used Katherine heigle that’s why it was shit!
I believe that "The Room" was the biggest flop ever. You should make a video on that movie
You and your lovely bricks.
I watched this video while near the road
Is it Zzyzx road or Zyzzyx road?
Isn't Zyzzyx a version of hell for some myth or another?
IF IT ONLY MADE $30 WOULDN'T THAT BE... 1.2 million and $30 ticket sales? 1.2 million to pay for movie cost $30 profit Or are you saying it loss
It made a whopping $30 dollars
1:05 'Zyzzyx' was spelled wrong smh
I am wondering who are those 6 peoples who watched this movie 🤔 and what are the chances they also watched this video ?
First of all, it’s pronounced “zye-zix.” Second of all, it leads to an ecological research center that is very important for desert related ecosystems and animals. It isn’t just a random road people in SoCal love to laugh at on their way to Vegas 😉.
Money laundering and things
I dunno battlefield earth was bad
I’ve known about this movie for a long time about time there is a video on it
I’ve driven by zyzzxyx road many times on the way out to Las Vegas from Southern California.
Frustratingly, a movie titled _Zzyzyx_ was released in the same month. And it was also pretty bad.
The director should be thanking this channel for promoting this movie 😂
I am surprised it's not Cats the musical, since it seems so many people don't like it.
*Not the lowest. They made $360,000 from DVD sales.* *The movie called Cuck, had no DVD sales and no theatrical purchases.* *They made nothing at all.*
Sure it's not technically a money laundering scheme, but it falls under the same category.
*stonks*
z6 road will be a much shorter name
The Room is the worst movie ever! Zyxzyx: Hold my Oscar The Room: What Oscar? Both The Room & Zyxzyx: 😩 😩
"Zyzzyx"... I gotta remember this sword for the next round of Scrabble
4:57 3.5 star rating.....??? BTW is it available on Prime? 🤣🤣
I want to watch this movie! Seriously
3:00 So the plot of Zyxzyx road is basically Spongebob’s health inspector episode?
0:12 Did you just make me stand up for 5 minutes and 32 seconds?
Damn Katherine Heigel really fell off.
Imagine you were one of the 6 people who saw this movie in cinemas, so when ever anyone mentions the movie you would know your 5 dollers where 25% of the movies gross
"If you wanted to hear a bad movie plot you could walk up to any bearded guy in Starbucks and ask them what they're working on." LMAO
why does the road signs say "Zzyzyx road" but the movie says "Zyzzyx road"?
I honestly would love to see an interview with one of the five people who saw Zyzzyx Road in theaters!
I read it the other way around and I asked how that was possible
Clearly HAI went to the bottom of the wiki list to find this video
That sounds like a bad deal.
Ye it made thirty cause it was to expensive
