The Harrier rising up slowly in front of the guy with the binoculars made me laugh so hard as a child and not a bit less as an adult. One of the best low key funny action movies ever.
I also laugh hard at the scene where the house keeping guy is dancing in the room to salsa(?)while the Harrier is rotating just outside the window and he's totally oblivious, then the songs ending and he's walking out and BAM! Just misses the tail of the harrier come crashing through the window
Yeah, that made me laugh too. I don't always agree with what Jeremy says. Also, at 2:43 - 2:47, that comment makes no sense. He's saying something about Music Man references but I cannot understand the rest of that comment. Can you?
The part where Tom Arnold is protected by the lamp post is hilarious if you acknowledge the following scene where he pats his whole body down and then kisses the pole.
My friend and I to this day call it pulling a Tom Arnold in games when cover protects us when it shouldn't because it's obviously too small. Or if we're trying to shoot someone running through pillars and they catch every shot or something.
This was one of my dad's favorite movies. God damn I miss that guy. I'd give anything to watch this with him again. Didn't think seeing this again would hit me like it did. RIP Dennis R.L.
That hurt me so much and gives me somehow an emotional hug knowing I'm not the only one.. Was also my fathers favorite movie... May we find our peace ‹3
There is nothing in this movie to sin that was not meant to be bad^^ Just do not expect a hard action Arnold flick. Let the fun seep in. And BTW the side quest with Bill Paxton and they taking it up in the end is ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY!! The subverted expectation when he kills him...but it was just his first impulse he was able to suppress. Just epic. Him getting out of the wet suit with a tuxedo beneath it.... the subtitle telling us he is speaking perfect Arabic even if we can hear he is not... And let's not forget this is one of Eliza Dushkus (playing the daughter) first roles and she will kill it later in Buffy and Dollhouse etc. No, I agree often, but this time I can't. This movie is great and nothing can change that.
I love this movie so much, Arnold's bathroom and rooftop was such a badass moment for me. The Harrier jet, the whole filming of this movie was so awesome! I don't think a movie will me made like this again. One of a kind!
I remember when I was in the theater, and I was like OK it's a bit far fetched. Then you start to slowly realize that it's more of a comedy, and I was like oh my God this is hilarious. I must have watched this movie 15 -20 times at least. Do you remember Jamie Lee Curtis did the hanging from a helicopter scene at the oscars that year.
@@shishsjxnsnzns there was supposed to be a sequel, but then 9/11 happened and the plans were scrapped because it was felt that treating the threat of terrorism in the way it is was in bad taste.....course I also remember that after 9/11 one of the first things I did was watch True Lies to raise my spirits.....kind of like the Team America song but in a more serious tone lol
True Lies managed to parody action movie tropes while still being a good action movie. James Cameron should be praised for this accomplishment. Action movie fans still love this movie. I know I do.
I always kind of figured that he really meant that part and wasn’t just reciting a line from the script. That and the one about not being able to shoot women. Cheers
Jamie Lee Curtis in that hotel room scene 👊 In all seriousness though, this movie was like an 80's action movie with great production, funny, serious, great cinematography, better than most crap put out these days.
I agree. There are alot of good things about this movie. One is Bill Paxton as car salesman/sleazy fake spy, trying to get some from Arnie's wife Jamie Lee Curtis. While test driving a car, Bill's telling Arnie he's a major babe magnet and telling Jamie he's got alot in common with James Bond (he boasts about his supposed penthouse in NY while actually living in a trailer). 6:04 - 6:16 - I can't believe that this is that same guy who played douchbag bully Chet less than 10 years earlier. Bill Paxton is one talented actor to be able to play 2 characters so different from each other that you'd really believe they are 2 different people if you didn't know from the credits that it's Bill Paxton and hadn't seen any other movies with him in them
@@Stratocasterhead51 Yeah, I normally don’t take their videos seriously because they’re mostly just meaningless jokes, but the sins in this video make me think they genuinely just didn’t understand the movie. And it’s not a deep movie or anything, so I don’t know how that happened.
I love this movie. I stayed in the hotel in LA where they did the horse stunt, Westin Bonaventure. You can also see some of the long shots they used in exteriors for Blade Runner there. But the True Lies info was part of the welcome packet. Definitely miss Bill Paxton.
I agree I really liked this movie from the first time I watched it. Is it a bit silly, yes of course it is but it's a movie that is there to be entertained by. Bill Paxton is excellent as Simon the sleezy car salesman who pretends to be a spy.
The salesman driving the Corvette is probably the *most* realistic part of this movie. My dad has been selling used cars forever and he's always driving them home instead of his own cars. Usually it's whatever is old and needs to be moved, or something that has an issue and needs a code set or just got back from the mechanic and needs a few miles on it to make sure they got it fixed. But yeah, he's taken home Jags, Corvettes, a Hummer and a Landrover, a whole slew of nice pickups, a few BMWs, and a Cadillac every so often.
This movie is always so fucking fun to watch. An excellent action comedy flick that is one of the best movies of Schwarzenegger in his prime and also the most hilarious role of Tom Arnold career
CinemaSins points out how Harry and Albert wouldn't be able to talk/hear while flying in an "opening air helicopter" but says nothing about Harry and Dana yelling to each other while in and on a hovering Harrier Jump Jet. Not only would they not hear each other, they would both be in a lot of pain having just blown out their ear drums due to being feet away from 2 Rolls Royce engines blowing air at about 150 decibels.
Tia Carrere, who plays Juno was an absolute goddess in the 1990's. I fell in love with her in Wayne's World and was happy to see her in True Lies. She's still pretty, but in her prime she was top 10 in the world.

That's exactly what I thought too. He was playing a way funnier Character then any other time i had seen him. I think, because He didn't have to deal with Rosanne Barr. That's just my theory.
@@danielseelye6005 yes I agree. I don't feel like doing the math right now but I just remember the whole Rosen Barr and Tom thing Was a big topic of discussion at the time. This pair was always always on the covers of magazines. It was on the news, The radio. Like Angelina and Brad Pitt it was kind of like the 1st time in my life where a Hollywood couple was constantly being Scrutinized. is movie people realized howit's made everybody not like him but then you see him in a movie like this where he just shines and it's just awesome but it also makes you realize shit he doesn't she's too much of a power person. Now if I remember correctly sympathy started to turn towards Tom. If I'm wrong let me know I just remember something you know I was younger I can't remember everything.
I'm pretty sure his anecdote to Arnie in the movie about "what kind of sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the fridge?" was actually tom relaying a real life experience.
While I'm not one of Tom's fans per se, I can at least tolerate him in this, Cradle to the Grave, and the parody of Scream/I Know What You Did Last Summer. 🙂
Long hallways preceeding sensitive areas, are generally pinch areas. They're meant to funnel potential enemy combatants into an unobstructed fish in a barrel situation.
We call them man traps. It's meant to contain someone if entrance control is working with an authorized visitor, or suspect something is wrong. No idea about the guys behind glass. They could just as easily be in the office.
The “makes you want to stand up for buttermilk” isn’t even Paxton’s worst line in that scene. His description of her butt should’ve warranted about 1 million sins, but his character alone and how well Paxton played sleazy used car salesman trying to seduce MILFs(before that was a popular term) should’ve taken off a few sins 😜. And RIP Bill Paxton. Also have to nitpick that the sin of Tia Carrere’s trigger discipline in the limo totally warranted a Pulp Fiction Vincent and Jules driving Marvin supercut scene in the outtakes 😉
@@kennyhudson9201 I’m sure demonetization played a role in it, but I can’t be mad for long given all the excellent sins he has brought us. The greatest sin of all time being the simple “ding” for Michael Bay’s cameo in Bad Boys For Life 🤣 On that note, Jeremy also left off a “this is the action comedy Michael Bay wishes he could pull off.” 😜
This is one of my favorite movies if all time. I watched this video just to watch clips again. Also, the bathroom and chase were in the news. When she goes to lunch with Simon, she reads about it in the paper and he claims credit for it. This movie is flawless.
FYI- The tape deck used for the Marquis suite dance scene was a Sony TCD-D8 DAT recorder, so it had digital marks, like tracks to tap a button and get to the exact spot no searching needed.
The fall during the dance scene, Arnold breaking character to see is Jamie Lee's alright & both of them jumping back into character to keep the scene going is AMAZING!
@gbonkers666 No movie is without sin. And this movie is fun to watch but is full of dumb. An uzi that fires when dropped, fires accurately when dropped, a guy on a missile and the missile flies straight, skyscrapers in Washington DC and more. Maybe just appreciate CinemaSins for the comedy channel by movie lovers - yes, movie LOVERS - for what it is? You can do that. I believe in you!
My Parents, siblings and I all quote this movie every chance we get.....give a gift for Christmas "it's a snowy village!" Trying to drive somewhere quicker while on the phone "my horse is getting tired" this and Robin Hood Men in tights are probably my family's favorite movies
It wasn´t; she actually fell for real during the scene and Arnold reacted in kind. Cameron decided to leave the scene as is because the situation was perfectly in character for both of them.
Could never find this movie on shelves to rewatch it. I kept having to catch it on TV. But would sit through commercials just to finish it. When I got older and finally watched it all the way through it was rather glorious. Thanks for covering it.
I can't believe you didn't remove a sin for JLCs fall off the post in the dance scene... Even if it was a genuine accident, it is one of the most brilliant comedy moments ever.
@@grieverleonhart2630 oh shit. Sold. Hahahaha I love that she's actually super fucking chill in real life too. Like plays games with her son with the Game Grumps. She's badass
This is still one of my all-time favorite action movies. I'm not really a fan of the genre, but I could easily watch this once a week for the rest of my life
As an Austrian who has heard Arnold speak in interviews when he visited his home country I can confirm to you: He does *not* speak perfect Austrian. Then again, Austrian isn't even a language, it's a dialect of German - but he doesn't even speak that one perfectly... :P
I remember watching that scene at my friends house with the night-shift working alcoholic Dad passed out in his boxers in front of the TV. Speaking of awkward.
This movie was meant to be enjoyed, to help forget about your troubles and responsibilities long enough so life didn't seem to suck so much. Jamie Lee Curtis pole dance was proof of that.
We can all leave, Captain Obvious has arrived. ALL movies are meant to entertain. In this context, SO WHAT? You came to a video channel dedicated to overthinking movies just for the giggles and acted like a preacher telling the atheist convention they are all going to hell.
@@randolphphillips3104 *yawn* oh look someone whose life isn't going the way they want it decides to rant and rave on a TH-cam channel just to feel a little better about themselves if even for a minute.
"This movie was meant to be enjoyed, to help forget about your troubles and responsibilities" - this is always the last excuse for any totally terrible movie.
@@michaelparks3106 and complaining about a movie that has no basis in reality whatsoever is proof of said someone needing something to complain about in order to feel like they accomplished something that justifies that they aren't a complete failure. Putting on the rose tinted glasses when looking at your reflection in the mirror to put it simply.
The part where he took the truth serum and described to the villain exactly how he was going to kill him was probably the hardest I ever laughed during an action movie.
Can we all take a moment to recognize just how funny and pathetic the late, great Bill Paxton's character was in this movie? Bill, this is my forever favorite movie part you played. Rest in Peace Mr. Paxton. You are so missed.
a lot of the nitpicks on this video could be summed up as "this character is not being a good person", which is an odd direction to go with comedy movies, where characters are rarely good people who do the right thing at all times. Yeah normally it's bad for Harry to do all those things, but it's freakin hilarious to put in a movie,.
And Harry at least had good reasoning for doing so. He wanted to see if his wife still loved him but no he's the misogynist despite his wife being the one who wanted to cheat on him!!!
My mom took me to see TRUE GRIT (the original one) after I got braces on my teeth. IIRC, we saw it at Radio City Music Hall. A few years later, her and my dad took me to see BLAZING SADDLES. For them it was the 2nd time, as they laughed so much the first time they missed a lot of the jokes. Now that's funny movie. I still quote lines from it. I am happy to see our moms took us to see great movies.
The scene where Arnie rides through the building on a horse past the band was my favorite part. The noise the trumpet(?) made as the horce raced past had me laughing so hard I needed to use my asthma inhaler. I wish more movies induced thay kond of laighter.
I worked at the ski area where this movie was filmed at the time it was being filmed. I not only met Arnold, I rode a ski lift with him. Super nice guy.
1:09 Shame that Stormtroopers will forever be remembered for not aiming their shots well at the enemy despite it was revealed that Tarkin specifically ordered them not to kill Luke and his friends so that they escape and lead Death Star to the Rebel base at the moon of Yavin.
Honestly terrified teenager willing to spite someone in the face of certain death regardless if they give them what they want or not is pretty damn realistic to me. Not everyone is a spineless coward, some people can see forward enough to know they're likely dead regardless and hold out for hope of rescue or again, at the very least, spite. I don't think that was an unreasonable scene at all. It's a commonly uncommon trait to have some cohones.
Commenting before watching: this film is SO DUMB, but that's exactly why it's SO GOOD. The machine gun scene is one of the stupidest, most fun scenes ever put to film. Arnie's action comedies are absolute fucking gold.
The original french movie ("La totale!") is clearly a comedy. As usual, the Hollywood adaptation had to stuff in a lot of SFX, which creates this impression of a "subplot" where in reality this is the core of the story.
It did make the news. Harry's wife was reading about it in the paper at the cafe.The car salesman took credit for it. Like you said, in the 90s, there were no cell phones, and security tapes wouldn't be released to the public, except to identify a suspect. In real life, the CIA operates outside of the US jurisdiction, not within the US. The case would have been a Federal investigation, alongside ATF, once the scale was discovered. Until then, it would have been investigated by the local precinct. Movie has to movie, though. I still enjoy the hell out of this movie after all these years.
1:02 - How can you tell that's not Arnold? It's hard to tell either way there. 16:24 - I think he was just surprised to see him flying a fighter jet. He knew Harry would be there but had no idea he could fly one of those. He was expecting to see Harry fly up in da choppah!!! lol 17:08 - "Ahh..yeeah..Gorden street..yeahh...I once knew a girl on Gorden street.." is played over "so far this is not blowing my skirt up, gentlemen" haha, lol
I always cracked up in the scene when the leader of the terrorist group was making a big speech, but the battery ran out on their camera. His lackey was too scared to bring it up, so he pretended to record until the leader was done.
There's nothing wrong with "True Lies." Nothing. Everything in this film that has the right mix of action and comedy. It's pretty cool for everyone to see.
Sinning the sinner: a) guards are standing behind bulletproof glass with a narrow slit to fire through, giving them tactical advantage over any hostiles that try to enter by brute force. b) recording with "turn around" is a valid instruction regardless if she is facing him or not
Tapping the phone reminds me of the opening of the first episode of Fraiser! 'You follow her to work, you eavesdrops on her calls, you open her mail... The minute you started those things, the relationship was over! Thank you for your call!'
I want to add 100 sins for merely talking about Lee’s scene, and not rescinding at least 15 sins for her amazing performance. She made her sexy self look awkward and clumsy and that’s something few who grew up with looks can do.
"Bad guy fires at the pole but does not hit Tom Arnold! That's five sins easy!" No, that should be a sin off! You really should look this stuff up, if for no other reason than it's actually really interesting. Not only is it not surprising that he didn't hit Tom Arnold, the odds of him hitting Tom Arnold in this scenario is actually really low. It's one of the rare things about gun fighting that they actually got DEAD ACCURATE! YES! He hits the pole because he's actually a good shot and simply reacted instead of aiming carefully! This is real! This is common! It's insane! It's thoroughly documented! It's nuts, but it's absolutely true!!! Fun fact: When Jamie Lee Curtis falls during the strip tease, that's a blooper. She doesn't break character and comes right back up, and Cameron loved it so much he kept it in the movie.
It's an intentional joke -- Tom checks himself for holes and then kisses the pole. It's SUPPOSED to seem unlikely, because even the character recognizes it.
I came across a Blu-Ray of it, and I highly suspect it's a bootleg. Apparently they've been really lacking in the modern releases of this awesome movie
Come on man, something I caught when I was 12 years old was the two different GMC Jimmy's. One has the SLT low profile mirrors, and the other has the older base large chrome side mirrors. This is still one of my all time favorite films! It never gets old!
It did make the news, but the car salesman took credit. There were no cell phones, therefore, no pictures of the man riding the horse. He took a shower before coming home? I have known plenty of people who rode horses, and not a single one smelled like a horse.
5:30 I believe the “she’s got an ass like a ten year old boy” is the worst part of that scene, not the age it would take the woman being to secrete buttermilk
I don't know this is one of these movies that I used to like when I was younger but not so much now, although the catfight in the limousine was quite funny.
Love your channel! But some of your gripes with this movie are just silly. Tom Arnold hiding behind a skinny pole and not getting shot isn't a logical error- it's being played for laughs. A totally memorable comedic moment, that lands. And how can you add 10 sins for more Bill Paxton screen time? Dude totally made that sleezebag character iconic.
When the me too movement first happened, the girl that played the daughter shared that the stunt coordinator on this film kept making passes toward her, and eventually she told someone about it. After that, there was an “accident” during a dangerous scene and the actress broke a rib. She was out for weeks.
The Harrier rising up slowly in front of the guy with the binoculars made me laugh so hard as a child and not a bit less as an adult. One of the best low key funny action movies ever.
I actually didn't expect so many people to be fans of this movie. I'm glad because I think it's a classic too.
I also laugh hard at the scene where the house keeping guy is dancing in the room to salsa(?)while the Harrier is rotating just outside the window and he's totally oblivious, then the songs ending and he's walking out and BAM! Just misses the tail of the harrier come crashing through the window

The low battery scene was one of the funniest bits in Hollywood history, dude. Shame on you for sinning it.
Amazingly original bit. Been watching this since I was 12 and I never known it was a Cameron film and now it makes SO much sense.
They did miss friend leaving the door wide open and never shutting it at beginning though, so maybe it evens out?
Battery Aziz . I'll never forget
Yeah, that made me laugh too. I don't always agree with what Jeremy says. Also, at 2:43 - 2:47, that comment makes no sense. He's saying something about Music Man references but I cannot understand the rest of that comment. Can you?

The part where Tom Arnold is protected by the lamp post is hilarious if you acknowledge the following scene where he pats his whole body down and then kisses the pole.

My friend and I to this day call it pulling a Tom Arnold in games when cover protects us when it shouldn't because it's obviously too small. Or if we're trying to shoot someone running through pillars and they catch every shot or something.
" what kind of sick bitch takes the ice trayz???" Lol

@@nthgth It wasn't really a lampshade. They'd have have him take cover behind something bigger. It was clearly intended to be humorous.

Yeah, 1994 was the year for action flicks:
True Lies
Speed
Clear and Present Danger
Fun fact: Tom Arnold said later that he had vented to James Cameron that Roseanne stole the ice cube trays, and Cameron put it in the movie.

Long hallways preceeding sensitive areas, are generally pinch areas. They're meant to funnel potential enemy combatants into an unobstructed fish in a barrel situation.
Plus, it contained all those scanners that are seen in the audio outtakes.
Bottlenecking
I experience that kind of thing all the time, but in traffic.
We call them man traps. It's meant to contain someone if entrance control is working with an authorized visitor, or suspect something is wrong. No idea about the guys behind glass. They could just as easily be in the office.
@@gijake1989 I think they were training to be manikins for a storefront window display.
The “makes you want to stand up for buttermilk” isn’t even Paxton’s worst line in that scene. His description of her butt should’ve warranted about 1 million sins, but his character alone and how well Paxton played sleazy used car salesman trying to seduce MILFs(before that was a popular term) should’ve taken off a few sins 😜. And RIP Bill Paxton.
Also have to nitpick that the sin of Tia Carrere’s trigger discipline in the limo totally warranted a Pulp Fiction Vincent and Jules driving Marvin supercut scene in the outtakes 😉
🤣🤣🤣
I stopped and commented how he could not sin that line before the video was even done. I lost respect for this channel after that easy miss.
@@kennyhudson9201 I’m sure demonetization played a role in it, but I can’t be mad for long given all the excellent sins he has brought us. The greatest sin of all time being the simple “ding” for Michael Bay’s cameo in Bad Boys For Life 🤣
On that note, Jeremy also left off a “this is the action comedy Michael Bay wishes he could pull off.” 😜
Just when you think Bill Paxton can't go any lower with a character, he gets cast in yet another movie.
I always thought that buttermilk line was a reference to Charlotte's Web. Also that "ass" line was a common phrase in the 70's and 80's.
This is one of my favorite movies if all time. I watched this video just to watch clips again.
Also, the bathroom and chase were in the news. When she goes to lunch with Simon, she reads about it in the paper and he claims credit for it.
This movie is flawless.
It’s so good!
FYI- The tape deck used for the Marquis suite dance scene was a Sony TCD-D8 DAT recorder, so it had digital marks, like tracks to tap a button and get to the exact spot no searching needed.
I’m amazed you didn’t make a reference to the fact that we had Harry in a Harrier in a hairy situation. Seemed right up your alley
Ain't nothing wrong with this movie. It's a classic.
"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
What?! I can't hear you...OMG the bridge is out, Harry!
I believe it is spelled THE BRIDGE IS AAAAOT!
So epic when she grabs his arm and he lifts her out while she’s screaming! Amazing
@@MrGranitealchemist and that was actually JLC doing the stunt herself, too!
@@RidgeR5 I actually just learned this! That makes it even more epic!
So good
The fall during the dance scene, Arnold breaking character to see is Jamie Lee's alright & both of them jumping back into character to keep the scene going is AMAZING!
The nerve to even think about sinning this awesome film.
Agreed!
Seems like the guy was just complaining to complain..like he forgot his Midol or something...
@gbonkers666 No movie is without sin. And this movie is fun to watch but is full of dumb. An uzi that fires when dropped, fires accurately when dropped, a guy on a missile and the missile flies straight, skyscrapers in Washington DC and more. Maybe just appreciate CinemaSins for the comedy channel by movie lovers - yes, movie LOVERS - for what it is? You can do that. I believe in you!
My Parents, siblings and I all quote this movie every chance we get.....give a gift for Christmas "it's a snowy village!" Trying to drive somewhere quicker while on the phone "my horse is getting tired" this and Robin Hood Men in tights are probably my family's favorite movies
It's said Jamie's pole dance fall was added by Cameron last second, without telling Arnold, so his slight-jump reaction is actually genuine.
It wasn´t; she actually fell for real during the scene and Arnold reacted in kind. Cameron decided to leave the scene as is because the situation was perfectly in character for both of them.
@@arekutheof555 that's completely wrong, look it up
Right, it's not even Arnie in the wide shots, it's a double. The body shape/language gives it away. It's Arnie in the close-ups, but nothing more.
For the security guards, “in case of emergency, break glass” 😂
This is one of my favorite movies the only thing wrong with it was we couldn't get a longer scene with Jamie Lee Curtis dancing in the moonlight
Absolutely the best scene in that movie 😂 her face said it all "well I can't really dance, but as you wish"
@@Leoprincess3038 lol it was funny af but still sexy af people forget how she had a smoking body back then
She’s a man
@@coolcat6103 haha... Beat me to it by two minutes.
@@Leoprincess3038 her... Okay.
"They call him the Sand Spider."
"Why?"
"Probably because it sounds scary."
Spy IT Guy would be excellent at CinemaSins *ding*
Could never find this movie on shelves to rewatch it. I kept having to catch it on TV. But would sit through commercials just to finish it. When I got older and finally watched it all the way through it was rather glorious. Thanks for covering it.
What sucks more is (in the US) it was never released on Blu-Ray and it's not available to stream. Not sure why.
1994 was the year for action films:
True Lies
Speed
Clear and Present Danger
Holy crap, the edit of all the different bathroom fights was absolutely perfect lmao
the "You're Fired" line is a + not a minus point and you know it!
*Biggest sin is the fact that this movie was never released on Blu-Ray and isn't available to stream in the US. One of my favorite Cameron movies!*
So that's why my Blu-Ray of it is in a black case with a label that looks like it came from an inkjet printer
Cutting together those two bathroom fights worked almost too well.
Could've added Vigo's fight from Eastern Promises too.
And the bathroom fight from The Raid 2.
I can't believe you didn't remove a sin for JLCs fall off the post in the dance scene... Even if it was a genuine accident, it is one of the most brilliant comedy moments ever.
Without even watching this there had better be multiple sins taken off for the Jaime Lee Curtis dance. Greatest scene in movie history.
Shit. That mightve been a sexual awakening moment for me hahahaha like hot damn. Did not expect that from her.
@@hannahbanana7723 Have you seen Trading Places? Watch Trading Places. She goes topless in that one. Plus it’s a DAMN good movie lol
@@grieverleonhart2630 oh shit. Sold. Hahahaha I love that she's actually super fucking chill in real life too. Like plays games with her son with the Game Grumps. She's badass
@@grieverleonhart2630 Several times I do believe.
She's got nice lady bumps in this movie.
This is still one of my all-time favorite action movies. I'm not really a fan of the genre, but I could easily watch this once a week for the rest of my life
I find it adorable that the narrator thinks there would ever be any consequences for the waste of taxpayer money by any governmental agency.
Except of course, consequences for the taxpayer
There would be if another agency wanted to make them look bad, in order to get access to that money so THEY can waste it.
Waste not - get your budget cut next year!
As an Austrian who has heard Arnold speak in interviews when he visited his home country I can confirm to you: He does *not* speak perfect Austrian. Then again, Austrian isn't even a language, it's a dialect of German - but he doesn't even speak that one perfectly... :P
As an 80's baby - millenial, I can confirm that this was definitely 1 of the first movies to awaken within me.. the awkward hell that is puberty 😅
YUP 😄
It was Erika Eleniak in "Under Siege" and the "Highlander" for me. 😏
I'm old, it was Adrienne Barbeau in Maude for me
I remember watching that scene at my friends house with the night-shift working alcoholic Dad passed out in his boxers in front of the TV. Speaking of awkward.
Agent 99 in Get Smart (TV) in the 70s
The french movie "la Totale" this was based on is more coherent, but Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold are just too much fun 🤣
Gotta love Sean. its nice too see someone stick on his own values
The Ice Cube trays line is one of my favorite lines in Movie history!!! Thanks for including it!!!! Take 10 sins OFF!!!🤣🤣🤣
This movie was meant to be enjoyed, to help forget about your troubles and responsibilities long enough so life didn't seem to suck so much. Jamie Lee Curtis pole dance was proof of that.
The amount of times I watched that scene as a kid...
We can all leave, Captain Obvious has arrived. ALL movies are meant to entertain. In this context, SO WHAT? You came to a video channel dedicated to overthinking movies just for the giggles and acted like a preacher telling the atheist convention they are all going to hell.
@@randolphphillips3104 *yawn* oh look someone whose life isn't going the way they want it decides to rant and rave on a TH-cam channel just to feel a little better about themselves if even for a minute.
"This movie was meant to be enjoyed, to help forget about your troubles and responsibilities" - this is always the last excuse for any totally terrible movie.
@@michaelparks3106 and complaining about a movie that has no basis in reality whatsoever is proof of said someone needing something to complain about in order to feel like they accomplished something that justifies that they aren't a complete failure. Putting on the rose tinted glasses when looking at your reflection in the mirror to put it simply.
The part where he took the truth serum and described to the villain exactly how he was going to kill him was probably the hardest I ever laughed during an action movie.
Yeah, DiNozzo referenced the scene in an episode of NCIS. Yeah, he was tied up and had been given a truth serum as well.
Yes. Thanks for doing this film Jeremy. One of my favorite films.
Can we all take a moment to recognize just how funny and pathetic the late, great Bill Paxton's character was in this movie? Bill, this is my forever favorite movie part you played. Rest in Peace Mr. Paxton. You are so missed.
"There is no Dana, only Zuul!" That did it for me!!
a lot of the nitpicks on this video could be summed up as "this character is not being a good person", which is an odd direction to go with comedy movies, where characters are rarely good people who do the right thing at all times. Yeah normally it's bad for Harry to do all those things, but it's freakin hilarious to put in a movie,.
And Harry at least had good reasoning for doing so. He wanted to see if his wife still loved him but no he's the misogynist despite his wife being the one who wanted to cheat on him!!!
2nd best Arnold movie for me after Terminator 2 - I love him when he mixes comedy with his action. FYI, Predator rounds out the top 3...
The line "But they were all bad" cracks me up every time.
I remember seeing this movie as a little kid with my mom. One of the best films hands down.
My mom took me to see TRUE GRIT (the original one) after I got braces on my teeth. IIRC, we saw it at Radio City Music Hall. A few years later, her and my dad took me to see BLAZING SADDLES. For them it was the 2nd time, as they laughed so much the first time they missed a lot of the jokes. Now that's funny movie. I still quote lines from it.
I am happy to see our moms took us to see great movies.
The scene where Arnie rides through the building on a horse past the band was my favorite part. The noise the trumpet(?) made as the horce raced past had me laughing so hard I needed to use my asthma inhaler. I wish more movies induced thay kond of laighter.
There is nothing wrong with True Lies.
This is a sin on you, CinemaSins.
Absolutely. I was expecting this video to be just the word "nothing".
That's exactly what I'm saying about the success of "True Lies." There's nothing wrong with that, ever.
I worked at the ski area where this movie was filmed at the time it was being filmed. I not only met Arnold, I rode a ski lift with him.
Super nice guy.
How did “you’re fired” get a sin? As a child that was one of my favorite one liners before a kill
I've been waiting and hoping they'd sin this. It just seems like the perfect movie to sin: obviously ludicrous, but still a much-beloved classic.
1:09 Shame that Stormtroopers will forever be remembered for not aiming their shots well at the enemy despite it was revealed that Tarkin specifically ordered them not to kill Luke and his friends so that they escape and lead Death Star to the Rebel base at the moon of Yavin.
Yeah that really pisses me off. Especially after the Stormtroopers on Scarif wiped the floor with rebel commandos!
Stormtroopers have shitty aim in all the Star Wars films not just A New Hope.
@@hawk66100 What about how quickly they took out Echo Base on Hoth?
To be fair it's probably really hard to hit anything with even burst fire while skiing.
It's not their fault -- they can't see out of those terrible helmets.
This should be a short list. After all, True Lies is the greatest action comedy of the 1990s
I’m actually surprised this movie hasn’t been sinned yet they’ve done every other Arnold movie
Has he done Kindergarten Cop? That'd be an amazing one to add.
Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tom Arnold?
“GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!” In the outtakes had me rollin 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Its crazy. I was just wishing y’all would do this movie and here we are. You guys are the best.
Honestly terrified teenager willing to spite someone in the face of certain death regardless if they give them what they want or not is pretty damn realistic to me. Not everyone is a spineless coward, some people can see forward enough to know they're likely dead regardless and hold out for hope of rescue or again, at the very least, spite. I don't think that was an unreasonable scene at all. It's a commonly uncommon trait to have some cohones.
Let’s be honest, this movie was freakin dope when it came out
Still is....
4:28 Are you kidding? Bill Paxton was fantastic!
Well I see one for Birdman already. The long minimalist hallway...was actually an xray/weapons scanner, as shown in the clip you skipped.
I’ve fired AK in similar manner and you can be amazed how inaccurate it can be - so the pole scene is not quite impossible 😂
Commenting before watching: this film is SO DUMB, but that's exactly why it's SO GOOD. The machine gun scene is one of the stupidest, most fun scenes ever put to film. Arnie's action comedies are absolute fucking gold.
The original french movie ("La totale!") is clearly a comedy. As usual, the Hollywood adaptation had to stuff in a lot of SFX, which creates this impression of a "subplot" where in reality this is the core of the story.
This movie is incredible, Jeremy. How DARE you!....
.... I mean, he makes some good points but still...
This is actually one of my mom's favorite movies we're gonna watch this when she's back in town
Maybe the CIA makes sure stuff doesn't hit the news. Also this was a time when people didn't have cell phone cameras to post on the internet.
I imagine a ritzy DC hotel would have security cameras, but they could be gotten to by the agency.
It did make the news. Harry's wife was reading about it in the paper at the cafe.The car salesman took credit for it. Like you said, in the 90s, there were no cell phones, and security tapes wouldn't be released to the public, except to identify a suspect. In real life, the CIA operates outside of the US jurisdiction, not within the US. The case would have been a Federal investigation, alongside ATF, once the scale was discovered. Until then, it would have been investigated by the local precinct. Movie has to movie, though. I still enjoy the hell out of this movie after all these years.
1:02 - How can you tell that's not Arnold? It's hard to tell either way there.
16:24 - I think he was just surprised to see him flying a fighter jet. He knew Harry would be there but had no idea he could fly one of those. He was expecting to see Harry fly up in da choppah!!! lol
17:08 - "Ahh..yeeah..Gorden street..yeahh...I once knew a girl on Gorden street.."
is played over "so far this is not blowing my skirt up, gentlemen" haha, lol
I always cracked up in the scene when the leader of the terrorist group was making a big speech, but the battery ran out on their camera.
His lackey was too scared to bring it up, so he pretended to record until the leader was done.
True Lies is one of the best arnold movies of all time. Legendary action comedy. A classic.
There's nothing wrong with "True Lies." Nothing. Everything in this film that has the right mix of action and comedy. It's pretty cool for
everyone to see.
No movie is without sin.
@@ChristophBrinkmann I'll take your word for it.
Sinning the sinner:
a) guards are standing behind bulletproof glass with a narrow slit to fire through, giving them tactical advantage over any hostiles that try to enter by brute force.
b) recording with "turn around" is a valid instruction regardless if she is facing him or not
Wow, love this goofy film, so happy it's getting sinned
Tapping the phone reminds me of the opening of the first episode of Fraiser! 'You follow her to work, you eavesdrops on her calls, you open her mail... The minute you started those things, the relationship was over! Thank you for your call!'
I want to add 100 sins for merely talking about Lee’s scene, and not rescinding at least 15 sins for her amazing performance. She made her sexy self look awkward and clumsy and that’s something few who grew up with looks can do.
She also did the stunt where harry pulls her out of the car on the bridge. On her birthday
How DARE YOU sin "Battery, Aziz!" That's one of the most quotable lines from the 90s!
"Bad guy fires at the pole but does not hit Tom Arnold! That's five sins easy!" No, that should be a sin off! You really should look this stuff up, if for no other reason than it's actually really interesting. Not only is it not surprising that he didn't hit Tom Arnold, the odds of him hitting Tom Arnold in this scenario is actually really low. It's one of the rare things about gun fighting that they actually got DEAD ACCURATE! YES! He hits the pole because he's actually a good shot and simply reacted instead of aiming carefully! This is real! This is common! It's insane! It's thoroughly documented! It's nuts, but it's absolutely true!!!
Fun fact: When Jamie Lee Curtis falls during the strip tease, that's a blooper. She doesn't break character and comes right back up, and Cameron loved it so much he kept it in the movie.
It's an intentional joke -- Tom checks himself for holes and then kisses the pole. It's SUPPOSED to seem unlikely, because even the character recognizes it.
You really knocked the "sentence" out of the park on this one!!! I'm in tears over this!
They need to do a 4K release of this movie already, it’s been too long!
I came across a Blu-Ray of it, and I highly suspect it's a bootleg. Apparently they've been really lacking in the modern releases of this awesome movie
@@nthgth still no 4K release planned for some reason, it’s crazy!
Come on man, something I caught when I was 12 years old was the two different GMC Jimmy's. One has the SLT low profile mirrors, and the other has the older base large chrome side mirrors. This is still one of my all time favorite films! It never gets old!
There’s zero chance a man riding a horse, chasing a man with a semi-automatic gun didn’t make the news.
He’d also smell of horse.
yeah. knew a guy who rode a horse to school.( Not to mine, but back in the 50s) He said he was taunted mercilessly for smelling like a horse.
It did make the news, but the car salesman took credit. There were no cell phones, therefore, no pictures of the man riding the horse. He took a shower before coming home? I have known plenty of people who rode horses, and not a single one smelled like a horse.
Jaime Lee ACTUALLY performed that stunt from the limo!
5:30
I believe the “she’s got an ass like a ten year old boy” is the worst part of that scene, not the age it would take the woman being to secrete buttermilk
You lost me with that second part
A million sins for you for sinning even a single second of this awesome movie.
I don't know this is one of these movies that I used to like when I was younger but not so much now, although the catfight in the limousine was quite funny.
Thanks for making me require the need to impersonate Arnold saying the word "Blowjob" 😆 LMAO
Always a treat when movies you love get the eww treatment
This channel would be better named: "Cinema that goes completely over my head"
Love your channel! But some of your gripes with this movie are just silly. Tom Arnold hiding behind a skinny pole and not getting shot isn't a logical error- it's being played for laughs. A totally memorable comedic moment, that lands. And how can you add 10 sins for more Bill Paxton screen time? Dude totally made that sleezebag character iconic.
You do know this is not a serious critique, but a seriers of jokes?
@15:10 Quentin Tarantino shot this scene LOL 🤣 Gold.
The “Gordon Street” bit at the end is priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Props for the Wayne’s World Reference)
When the me too movement first happened, the girl that played the daughter shared that the stunt coordinator on this film kept making passes toward her, and eventually she told someone about it. After that, there was an “accident” during a dangerous scene and the actress broke a rib. She was out for weeks.
Really? That is terrible!
