When that picture came out I was a film booker. I got a radiator cap in the mail from Columbia. I called a couple other bookers I knew and they'd got a gas cap and a dipstick or something. Columbia should have used that much imagination promoting the flick to the general public. What a picture! I highly recommend you get the DVD with commentary track. Kurt, Bob Zemeckis, and Bob Evans, are well-lubed right from the start.
Dr Joey Sounds like great advice, I'll definitely do it since I don't have the DVD in my rather extensive library. My favorite KR performances are, in order: 1) Big Trouble in Little China ("son of a bitch must pay", "If I'm not back in 10 minutes, call the President", 2) 3000 miles to Graceland 3) Tombstone, for which he was born. Runner up is The Thing as I grew up watching the original with James Arness. I enjoy all his performances but the comic and action ones I like best.
Showed part of " 'Ol Yeller" movie to classes to encourage reading the book. (Something I did regularly ....) Kids could NOT believe this was the same guy who starred in "Escape from New York". Also, several other movies he starred in as adult: Shock. Retired librarian, MI / US
The guy is a treasure. Love Kurt Russell. He comes off as a regular blue collar worker. Not a Hollywood huge star. But his down to earthness makes him a massively deserving star. The Thing is one of the best horror films ever!!!
One of the most underused and underrated actors ever, able to turn his hand to anything....and be great at it. Shocked they missed the info that Snake Plissken was the inspiration for Metal Gear Solids Snake.
He & Goldie were together for what 30yrs?!? Doesn't seem he really cares about the sparke spotlight bullshit. He's just Kurt. Name a film of his where he didn't seem to be having a blast "working".
His role in Tombstone as Wyatt Earp was absolutely amazing! I'm not one for Westerns, but this IS my most favorite Western film, and Kurt is the main reason why! Such an incredible role! Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China was his most off-beat role, but once again, he delivered the goods like no one could! Another pinnacle role by the great himself! Many will always know him as "Plissken......call me Snake". Escape from New York is a classic, and Snake is one of those roles, much like John McClain in Die Hard, that could've only been done by one actor, and Kurt nailed it! Then there's MacReady, from The Thing. Now, this was a role that I personally didn't think he could pull off when I went to see it in the theaters back in 1982. When it was over, I was a complete Kurt Russell fan, and have been to this day! MacReady was an every-man character, not some swashbuckling hero type. He could get scared, he could get angry, but he also knew what he had to do, and he did it SOOOO well! Kurt Russell is one fantastic character actor, and really has not made a bad movie, or at the very least, HE was not bad in whatever movie he made!
+Jeff Sine (GR1M RACER) my buddy and i were discussing how we had both seen that this vid was out, but neither of us had watched it. His pick was Wyatt Earp....mine was Captain Ron. How did it not even get a mention?? Fuck Herb Brooks.
I have a friend who has known kurt a long time,used to play professional baseball with kurt on kurts father's team in portland.says kurt is a real down to earth guy,very humble,a great guy.i always felt he was a regular joe,not an ego inflated star so i was happy to know i was right.LOVE YA KURT
@ First, Thank You for your service! I too served in the 70's and your 100 percent right. They do remold you so to speak.We had a guard dog for the home and business "military" style training and I thought the similarity was pretty close. Stay safe, take care of your love ones. We'll make it through this too!
Soldier was a great opportunity for Kurt to show acting skills on a serious role with very little dialogue on his part. And lots of action! I loved it. On the other end of the spectrum of roles, Captain Ron was one of my favorite comedies of all time. Kurt covered a lot of range between these two roles.
+moviemetalhead Kilmer didn't slightly over shadow Russel. He stole that movie straight up from the WHOLE cast. "I'm your huckleberry." "You're no daisy, you're no daisy at all." "I have not yet begun to defile myself.: Etc. Really Doc Holliday was so well written and Kilmers acting was spot on, he was just going to over shadow the rest of the cast.
+NinjaLo I agree to an extent, but didn't want to take away from Russel's performance. His portrayal of Wyatt Earp was leagues better than Kevin Costner's.
It was one of my favorites.. Herb's widow saw " Miracle" and said how amazing it was that Herb was a lefty and so was Kurt...they had to tell her it was Kurt's acting..he was a righty!!!☺️☺️☺️
To this day, I still think Death Proof is one of Kurt's most underrated performances. He is so freakin' good in the movie. The entire sequence from the moment he shows up at the roadside bar until the part out on the road halfway through is some of the best acting I've seen from Kurt in his career. Naturally The way this list went is exactly how it should be. Glad to see Death Proof on here.
+Jose E A lot of people don't know that Harrison Ford was a carpenter on the Star Wars set. They hadn't cast the role of Han yet and they needed someone to read the lines during some screen tests. They liked him so much they gave him the part.
@@gonnaw1n,(in demon from The Exorcist's voice)How dare you insult Sky High?It's underrated,but not terrible!I will not allow you to get away with you insult with giving you this 👹!
Ah, but you've never saw his performance as Rudy Russo, have you? I so envy you that you have not enjoyed Used Cars yet. Life is worth living when you got a movie like that yet to see.
@@TheRealDrJoey used cars is great. i watched that movie with my dad as a kid, and anytime that movie gets referenced today he goes straight to the protesting nuns "and i knocked them motherfuckers right on they ass, too."
The Mean Season (1985) is a superb crime drama. "Tequila sunrise" Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson, MIchelle Pfeiffer.A really good film with an excellent twist. This film is all about what was great about the 80's.
What was interesting about his role in Breakdown was how the character was just an ordinary man instead of some off-duty cop or former marine. It made him more relatable
I've always liked Kurt Russel but I just realized how many good movies he's in and how many of my favorite movies he's in. He also turns in good performances.
One of his most overlooked performances is Winter People. A very, very good small film, and his performance is so restrained, but the supporting cast is so good. Definitely worth a rental.
Soldier should be more than an honorable mention. That scene when he finally finds his humanity and transforms from a killing machine to a defending warrior is understated controlled acting at its best.
yes the fact that he can go from Big trouble (never stop talking ) to soldier (hardly speaking a word) and catch the emotional range of both types of movie shows what an actor he is
Takes a hell of an actor to play a character like Todd, to show no emotion through most of the movie, yet you can still feel it even as his face remains stoic as stone. By far one of his best roles to me. Not to mention the movie is actually set in the same cinematic universe as Blade Runner, and for a long time was considered the "unofficial sequel" to it, which only makes it more endearing.
I can't believe "Unlawful Entry" wasn't mentioned anywhere in this video. Great film. Some super intense scenes with him and Ray Liotta. One of the best thrillers from the 90's in my opinion.
Always love whatever kurt russel is in, but tango and cash is a great movie you can always watch. The chemistry between kurt russel and sylvester stallone is stellar in the movie and all scene makes you really enjoy the movie. I think he was funnier in used cars though, that movie is hilarious.
Silkwood, Swing Shift, Overboard ... and then all his other movies. I agree with what Meryl Streep said about him, "his acting is effortless." Great compliment. Can't understand why he hasn't been nominated or won some awards. He's a great actor with so much charm and a lovely feast for the eyes!
“Your friends might get me in a rush but not before I make your head into a canoe” is the second toughest line ever put to film. “Are you gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?” is the first.
Kurt is one of the most underrated, under appreciated actors of his generation. Just so many great performances - can't disagree with any on this list but a few others also come to mind: Used Cars, Unlawful Entry, Sky High (wonderful performance), Dark Blue (great performance in so so movie), Best of Times, Silkwood. Should have been nominated for an Oscar for Miracle and Backdraft - two of his very, very best performances as well as the tv Elvis.
Ironically, Kurt is a common name of idiot losers from the 80s...but our Kurt is a bad ass, but still traces his roots to that name. if that makes sense
The Oscar's are a joke, they pick winners based on politics not based o performance and alot of times people get picked for shit performances because the judges figured they were owed a win, while good performances are ignored. Certain genres are largely ignored too, dramas and romances win often while westerns, horror, and comedies are ignored for example
He has so many great movies that a top ten just never seems to be enough. I couldnt get enough of his movies and his portrayal of every role he played.
I've been enjoying Kurt Russel films my whole life, and he is a super talented and highly under rated actor. I've also heard he's a hell of a guy and a classical libertarian (as opposed to a socialist). I agree with some of the other comments that Used Cars should have at least got a mention, if not a ranking. Dreamer was great, and I really liked Tequila Sunrise. His rendition of Elvis' Such a Night is sublime (like better than the original). I look forward to many more great performances.
He was outstanding in JC's The Thing, he really grasped the fact that his character had to realise the magnitude of their situation and the best way to deal with it. You needed to see this at the time and at the cinema to see what i mean.
Not really, 'cause this list is mostly wrong. This is just a random list, or, maybe this compilation was put together by some film distributor that only has rights to ones on the list. They accidentally did pick a couple of his best, but really missed some biggies, Overboard an excellent example. "Your children are the most incorrigible students in the school!" "Really? ...Well, thank you. Thank you very much."
Just a note, Russell is in a documentary called " The Battered Bastards of Baseball.". Kurt played minor league baseball. His dad, Bing Russell, was an actor and a baseball coaching whisperer. After Bing retired he bought a minor league team. Kurt was a V.P. and a player. This docu is more like a movie about an underdog sports team that beats everyone. It premiered to a standing ovation at Sundance in 2014. Truly an exceptional story, with Kurt. Definitely watch if you have the opportunity.
Holy Jesus palomino! lmao That price is just too fucking high! I just knew that Overboard would be in the top ten somewhere. Just goes to show what I know.
EXACTLY. I was a projectionist for 25 years, and Used Cars is the funniest movie I have ever seen. It was produced by a couple young guys named Steven Speilberg and John Milius, along with Bob Gale, and directed by the up-and-coming youngster, Bob Zemekis. And the DVD with the commentary track by Kurt Russell and Zemekis and Gale is a blast. This list is almost the bottom 10 worst movies he's ever done--for sure that Grind House thing sucked. I'm mean, Jack Burton and Snake Plisken, Wyatt Earp, etc. okay, that's fine, but whoever put this list together doesn't know jack about KR. BTW, Kurt Russell fans: Be SURE to check out the docu, The Battered Bastards of Baseball.
one of my favourite actors , if not thee favourite I always thought he should have got more roles , especially after the 90's LOVED- 'Overboard' great film
No mention of Quanto in 2nd season of Lost in Space. Kurt was a chieftains son, challenging Will Robinson for dominance, and lost to superior intellect.
Some more great Kurt movies in no particular order: "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes", "The Best of Times", "Overboard", "Captain Ron", and "Used Cars".
Herb... Actually "the Hateful Eight" came out only two weeks before this video was published... so I concede that is why the movie did not make the list... although it is one of my favorites...
My fave Kurt movie is.., (drum roll please)...., "Used Cars" (comedy). My 2nd and 3rd fave is his two Snake Plissken films "Escape from New York" and "Escape from LA".

This guy always delivers. Arguably the most underrated actor of his generation and the best Wyatt Earp ever.
By FAR the best kid actor of his generation. The kid had charisma.
Dan--Are you a Used Cars fan?
Dr Joey Absolutely 1000% percent. I'm just tired but that was one his very best (ie. Top 3). Noooo argument there. Another phenomenal KR performance.

Totally agree but why do they keep forgetting about, "Used Cars"? I think I would have at least squeezed in The Hateful Eight
Kurt Russell is one of the most versatile actors and one of my faves!!

One of the few actors (along with Jeff Bridges), who can do dramatic rolls as well as comedic, and as the saying goes "Dying is easy, comedy is hard."
Kurt Russell is one my favorites too! He reminds me a lot of another one of my favs Harrison Ford cuz he has legendary roles too!
2021 John Carpenter's "The Thing" still the greatest horror movie ever. Kurt Russell is awesome in everything he does.
The Original is from 1982

Very few actors can play action, drama and comedy equally well. Russell is one of them.
Oh so true. Snake or Wyatt Earp deserved the #1 more than the Thing. Overboard should have been in the top 10
You've obviously never heard of Will Smith have you?

He's also a great director/producer, he basically did both of those roles in Tombstone so he's a true triple threat.
Jack Burton! One of my favorite characters ever. Big Trouble in Little China is an under rated classic!

It’s all in the reflexes.

My favorite movie by him also. Funny as hell. Goldie was great as well.
They showed a couple of short clips of that movie, but was not included on the list or as an honorable mention. Go figure!

Definitely!
Breakdown was another good one
I literraly just watched bone tomahawk
He was good in Hateful Eight but that movie was pretty, well, not good.
Even though The Thing is my favorite sci-fi/horror movie I think Snake Plisken is the best character he played as.

Usually my favorite film with Kurt Russell is one he is in.
James Allard he's got a small penis, tho. I know, I gave him a hand job back in 94 in San Francisco.

Snake Plissken from Escape from New York and L.A should be number 1.
+The Joker Agreed
+The Joker About the ONLY thing I could think of putting "Escape from NY" at #2 is "The Thing"...and yes, pun intended.
The Joker Tombstone and The Thing, two of the best films ever!
One of the most underrated actors in history AND he raised Goldie Hawns kids, not only is he a great actor...HE'S A GENTLEMAN!!!
Young Kurt as "The computer who wore tennis shoes".
As well as the overlooked and underrated "Now You See Him, Now You Don't".
I saw the computer at the theater when it was a fresh release
All of Disney's "Dexter Riley" movies with Kurt in the lead role.
And who could forget Caesar Romero as mobster A. J. Arno in at least two of those?
All his Disney movies were Great.
"Soldier" deserves to be in his top 5
a good movie! my youngest girl fell in love with him
I believe that it should have been #1.
A darn good movie. In my top 3.
Love, love, love The Thing movie. Absolute masterpiece and still underrated. Mr. Russell rocked this one flawlessly.
Tombstone is the best western of all time and I think you guys for got Overboard.
Used Cars. He was really funny in that one. A true classic now.
majormal1 Rudy Russo for Congress!
3000 Miles to Graceland is criminally underrated
Hello Cody, how are you doing today?
He's my favorite. Captain Ron, Jack Burton, Herb Brookes, Wyatt Earpp, Ego...
Fuck yeah, this dude is the man!
Agreed
Rj Macready Agreed! Such a good actor!
WatchMojo *FINALLY* got one right...LOL
I always felt he was underrated as an actor.
Kurt Russell is one of my top favorite actors. I loved him in, "Big Trouble in Little China," "Backdraft" and "Escape From "New York."
He has so many great movies that a top ten just never seems to be enough. I couldnt get enough of his movies and his portrayal of every role he played.
My favourite Kurt Russell performance is...
...ALL OF THEM!
I loved him as Stephen McCaffrey in backdraft,still have the theater poster for the movie
I've been enjoying Kurt Russel films my whole life, and he is a super talented and highly under rated actor. I've also heard he's a hell of a guy and a classical libertarian (as opposed to a socialist). I agree with some of the other comments that Used Cars should have at least got a mention, if not a ranking. Dreamer was great, and I really liked Tequila Sunrise. His rendition of Elvis' Such a Night is sublime (like better than the original). I look forward to many more great performances.
The Sheriff in BONE TOMAHAWK he was awesome in that film.
Anthony Rodriguez absolutely...a lotta folks are sleeping on that film...
I still cringe just thinking about the scene. lol
He was outstanding in JC's The Thing, he really grasped the fact that his character had to realise the
magnitude of their situation and the best way to deal with it. You needed to see this at the time and at
the cinema to see what i mean.
Kurt Russell is the F'in man!
I saw every single movie he was in and H8teful eight was the shit!
I definitely think that Overboard, should have been on this list.
Not really, 'cause this list is mostly wrong. This is just a random list, or, maybe this compilation was put together by some film distributor that only has rights to ones on the list. They accidentally did pick a couple of his best, but really missed some biggies, Overboard an excellent example. "Your children are the most incorrigible students in the school!" "Really? ...Well, thank you. Thank you very much."
They showed a small clip from it at the beginning.
Elvis and Herb Brooks--two roles where Russell disappears into a humanized portrait of icons. That's how damn good of an actor he really is.
would love it if a local theatre ran a Kurt russell marathon
especially John carpenter who is a freaking genius
I liked him in the movie "Used Cars"
me3333 yes it is I was trying to think of that movie
Hell, Yes. Love that movie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" Used Cars " is in my top ten funniest films and tied with " Let it Ride "
Just a note, Russell is in a documentary called " The Battered Bastards of Baseball.". Kurt played minor league baseball. His dad, Bing Russell, was an actor and a baseball coaching whisperer. After Bing retired he bought a minor league team. Kurt was a V.P. and a player.
This docu is more like a movie about an underdog sports team that beats everyone. It premiered to a standing ovation at Sundance in 2014. Truly an exceptional story, with Kurt. Definitely watch if you have the opportunity.
The Thing was great but for me #1 will always be Tombstone. Also no mention of "Used Cars". I loved that performance.
Overboard? Used Cars?
Holy Jesus palomino! lmao That price is just too fucking high!
I just knew that Overboard would be in the top ten somewhere. Just goes to show what I know.
Used cars..SFG
Both great movies
The fox and the hound,
He wouldn't be anyone's first choice for a rom com, but my wife and I would always catch "Overboard" if it was on!
He and Robin Williams are both GREAT in “the Best of Times.” A very underrated movie!
Reno Hightower
Kurt Russell for star-lords father !
+Jose G (Joe) THAT...would be amazing.
That would be utterly glorious
I can't even describe how great that'd be! Haha.
+Jose G (Joe)
best suggestion I've ever seen on the internet.
+Jose G (Joe) Looking More and More Likely. That would be the Greatest Casting Ever
where's Used Cars?
+Terry Hollas Yeah thats a great movie a forgotten film.
The first movie I ever rented.
EXACTLY. I was a projectionist for 25 years, and Used Cars is the funniest movie I have ever seen. It was produced by a couple young guys named Steven Speilberg and John Milius, along with Bob Gale, and directed by the up-and-coming youngster, Bob Zemekis. And the DVD with the commentary track by Kurt Russell and Zemekis and Gale is a blast. This list is almost the bottom 10 worst movies he's ever done--for sure that Grind House thing sucked. I'm mean, Jack Burton and Snake Plisken, Wyatt Earp, etc. okay, that's fine, but whoever put this list together doesn't know jack about KR. BTW, Kurt Russell fans: Be SURE to check out the docu, The Battered Bastards of Baseball.
Used Cars was his best
We blew the shit out of that overpriced motherfucker
I don't get how Overboard didn't make the list. It's one of his most popular roles.
Fuck yeah baby MacReady is his best role ever.
one of my favourite actors , if not thee favourite
I always thought he should have got more roles , especially after the 90's
LOVED- 'Overboard' great film
Aw c'mon!!!! Not one mention of "Used Cars"????? that one is a classic!!!
Next to Snake Plisscan, Stuntman Mike is my favorite Kurt Russell performance
Stuntman Mike is hard to beat, yes.
Why the hell Bone Tomahawk isn't even mentioned?
+AleX Schmidt its prob too new and underground to be noticed. excellent movie and performance though. Kurt Russel would make a killer Revolver Ocelot.
+Chad Quallo great shout. funny the guy snakes modelled after playing ocelot lol
one of the best westerns of this era
It was very well done, but more of a cross-genre than pure western. Like Dusk to Dawn......but even better.
Yuri Myszkowski totally agreed! but man that one scene when they butcher that poor guy Nick in that cave messed with me for weeks lol
Bone Tomahawk is just incredible.
You missed it............Used Cars.
Funniest and best performance.
brilliant but overlooked film. his best imho
he was very funny in that one!
TheVagolfer totally agreed, a crackup of a flick
Few could talk faster and funnier than Rudy Russo
That's just too Fucking High!
No mention of Quanto in 2nd season of Lost in Space. Kurt was a chieftains son, challenging Will Robinson for dominance, and lost to superior intellect.
Some more great Kurt movies in no particular order: "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes", "The Best of Times", "Overboard", "Captain Ron", and "Used Cars".
Herb... Actually "the Hateful Eight" came out only two weeks before this video was published... so I concede that is why the movie did not make the list... although it is one of my favorites...
Apple Jack ...
Herb Bluntman definitely Overboard!
Used cars should have been in there. He is one of the best for delivering one liner's.
The prison escape scene in tango and cash was epic
No one mentioned him in Silkwood. That was a great movie with Cher and Meryl Streep.
My fave Kurt movie is.., (drum roll please)...., "Used Cars" (comedy). My 2nd and 3rd fave is his two Snake Plissken films "Escape from New York" and "Escape from LA".
loved Capt. Ron
Would lie to know how they missed that one. For a lot of people that is Kurt Russel at his smart ass best.
Absolutely loved Capt. Ron!
After seeing Capt. Ron. I wanted to be Capt. Ron! Just Great.
Sons Of Arkham I was watching the trailer for it and I found this
Sons Of Arkham ive seen captain ron a million times never gets old
Tombstone is my favorite Kurt Russell movie. I own a copy of that one. I never watched the movie Elvis he stared in, but that movie looked good.
this guy is good even in bad movies
