Cromwell was also the president in The Sum of All Fears. He was also the chief of police in LA Confidential. He was the warden in The Green Mile. He was also Bob Gerson the head of NASA in Space Cowboys. He played Dr. Lanning in I, Robot. He was also Zefram Cochran in Star Trek: First Contact. That's just a small sample of the roles he has played.
I have been and always will be a Nerd. Picked on, beaten up. In high school I studied martial arts (a combo of Judo and Tae Kwon Do). One day my primary bully went to sucker punch me after school and I gave him a black eye. I told him "this Nerd just kicked your ass". No one bothered me after that. NERD AND PROUD!
I was the entire cast of The Breakfast Club. I was a Jock/Psycho/Brainiac/A-LIster. How do you manage that? I haven't a clue. I have a genius IQ, and I also have a quasi-eiditic memory. So I would see someone do something, then I would do it myself minutes later just as they did. The same applied to sounds, specifically dialects and accents. I heard someone speaking an accent, and I could copy it right back at them. I learned to do many accents and dialects that way. It's just one of the weirdnesses of the world. But it made growing up in the DC area an entertaining and educational experience.
I've seen now a few more reactors watching this movie. And I love it. It is a product of its time. And not everybody understand the real message of acceptance that it has.
I loved growing up in the 80s. My dad’s mate at work put this and top secret on a vhs tape and l use to watch it constantly. Remember when music artist use to write songs for the purpose of the film. This film has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
LMFAO BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA BRILLIANT ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!! 😂🤣😆He sure couldn't when he drove his ass over to Eddie Van Halen's house quick like to take over vocals for Van Halen, that's for sure!!!!!!!
41:31 this sounds like a speech my high school wrestling coach would've given. Except this had less profanity and he'd tell us exactly what to do. Shout out to Coach Pete!
"Hey, take it easy. The computer's your friend." "I wasn't meant to interface with a machine." "Well, you're just beginning. Relax." "It's no use. It's inhuman." "It's not inhuman. Only humans can be inhuman." "Here, let me show you. Working with a computer's great. I mean its, uhh, its godlike, in a way, cause you can, uhh, have complete control." "That's good." "Thanks." "You know, some people, they can create with their hands. But when you're working with a computer, you got to build something with your mind. If you're good, you can do something no one ever seen before. It's a definite high." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Andrew Cassese Magic Engineering Fact: The drug during the tricycle race is fictitious. So is the drill silencer. Location Location Fact: The University of Arizona agreed to let the company shoot at the campus, then revoked permission after reading the script. Eventually the school changed its mind and let them shoot. The Rest Of The Story Fact: Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity depicted in the film, was fictional. However it would end up becoming the name of a fraternity in real life, founded at the University of Connecticut in 2006. What Script Fact: Robert Carradine says that he and Anthony Edwards largely improvised their speeches during the homecoming scene. Curtis Armstrong's bizarre interaction with a reclusive homeowner through a mail slot was improvised. Method Actor Fact: Robert Carradine moved to the University of Arizona two weeks before shooting to get into character as Lewis Skolnick. He brought only his "nerd" clothes to wear. He couldn't bring himself to leave his hotel room for three days. Poindexter's glasses are so thick that Timothy Busfield could not see through them. In scenes where he moves, he is usually guided by a companion. Nerd Laugh Fact: Robert Carradine says that when he read the script, Lewis' laugh was described as a "goose honk" he was not sure how to do it. However, by chance the first scenes shot were of his father dropping Lewis and Gilbert off at college. When James Cromwell did the laugh, Carradine mimicked it. James Cromwell has said that when he came up with the nerd laugh, after the other actors imitated it, he later realized - while driving home from the studio on the first day of production - it was his ex-wife's laugh.
I've always loved this movie,I was to young to understand the Grape thing ,the first time i seen this Lamar was my favorite and i loved Poindexter's violin and his spiked hair during their musical performance. Fun reaction. Keep up the good work ✌️ ❤🙏.
One of my favorites because I, like almost all of my actual friends, am a secret nerd. I was spared all of that because my college experience was at a commuter school. But there were definitely those social groups and dynamics in high school. I was a blend of nerd and jock being in Junior ROTC. I had guys from 3 different street gangs on my side, but I was definitely a nerd first. I never let anyone know how much of an influence Captain Picard was on how I lead my unit in school. In college, I was accepted in Delta Phi Alpha. Really sets in the nerd if you look up what that is.
I just found out from a recent con panel that the iconic Booger burp was actually a recording of a Climactic Camel. Also, for the tricycle race the actor opted for cold beer on that hot day instead of disguised soda when asked by the prop guys. Truly happy and trashed. 🤢
We need an all-star reaction with Tara,Dawn Marie,Ashleigh Burton,Rhetorical Thrill,and The Mirandaorian.The sarcasm and innuendo would be hilarious with those 5 together.
What the actor playing Ogre did before appearing in movies: Raised in California, Gibb attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. Upon graduation he went to the University of New Mexico on a basketball scholarship,[1] where he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He then transferred to University of San Diego to play football. Don Gibb played football for the University of San Diego on scholarship. Gibb played briefly for the San Diego Chargers before suffering an injury in an automobile accident, which led him to turn to acting. From his Wikipedia page...
I never found out what the 188 proof Fireball was. When I was in high school in the 80s I drank Everclear which was 95% alcohol (190 proof). Sometimes mixed with lemonade, sometimes shots, sometimes flaming shots and sometimes straight out of the bottle. I also invented 2 shots with it. One was, fill a shot glass 1/2 way with Everclear and the other half with Jack Daniel's. The Jack smoothed out the intense burn of the Everclear and the Everclear gave the Jack an extra kick. The other shot was a 32 Oz glass of lemonade with 3 shots of Everclear. Another glass with an almost even mix of vodka and Roses. Then pour into a shot glass. Lemony flavored goodness that will kick your ass.
2 drinks huh ? Just 2 jugs of long island iced tea and that’s all. Booger was also in Van Wilder. Anthony Edwards (Goose in little known flick Top Gun) had an incredible 80’s. High School USA with Michael J Fox, Crispin Glover, Bob Denver (Gilligan) amongst others. He’s also costarred in John Cusack college-age hit The Sure Thing (recommend, it’s good Cusackian stuff) And starred in his most adult-script college kid movie, Gotcha! Pointdexter is in tonnes of good movies too like Sneakers and Field Of Dreams.
Ahh yes, the movies of our childhood that we can now revisit with a grown intoxicated mind. Lifted with “The Last Dragon” was that moment of adulthood. 😂😅
I was - and still am - an ubernerd in school, and pretty happy with it. Yeah, the bullying sucked, and I never had a date in high school, but I was me rather than trying to be someone else that the popular people would like. Being a nerd is almost cool now, but I was one old school. Class of 86, so this movie, warts and all, has always been special. One gripe though. It's mid-80s nerds. Where are the D&D players?
FUCK I MISS THE 80s!!!!!!! Shit was just different and frankly much better then!!!!!!! People weren't a bunch of politically correct candy asses and our generation is better for it!!!
3:19 look at Goose before he joined the military. 3:44 James Cromwell came up with that laugh and the other actors imitated him. He later realized when heading home on the first day that it was his ex-wife’s laugh that he was copying. 4:41 he was the warden in Adam Sandler’s version of “The Longest Yard”.
I think it's because he was a slob, which lumped him in with the nerds. Only reason I can think of for a leather jacket wearing, pot smoking musician to be considered a nerd. Usually, he'd be considered cooler than the jocks.
The accordion girl was in 3 movies. Her first one she was made to look hot. Her second movie is this one & her last was Real Genius. Ted McGinley - he was added to 3 TV shows, the male Heather Locklear. Happy Days, Love Boat & Married with Children. Pointdexter was the “villain” in Field of Dreams.
Tara, Poindexter is almost unrecognizable in those glasses and hair but you may know him from other things he has been in: Timothy Busfield (born June 12, 1957) is an American actor and director. He has played Elliot Weston on the television series thirtysomething; Mark, the brother-in-law of Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) in Field of Dreams; and Danny Concannon on the television series The West Wing. In 1991 he received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for thirtysomething. He is also the founder of the 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization Theatre for Children, Inc. In 2024 he was inducted into the Sacramento Baseball Hall of Fame as a pitcher. He also has been married to Melissa Gilbert of Little House on the Praire fame since 2013. From his Wikipedia page...
Fantastic 1980s Comedy Movie Masterpeace 😊👍👌🍁 Very Funny! 😁😂 The 80s we're Actually Awesome! 👊😎✊ I Was There IT Was Awesomeness! Made Alot Of Awesome Friends Since Then. 😊🍁
Hey Tara, I also got bullied in school...maybe not as much as you but I get it. I also had to learn to fight back and as an adult, I worked in an institutional setting where I had to know how to deal with physical maladaptive behaviors so know now how to counter that so I'm not afraid anymore. I have dealt with 6'6" 350 lb. men so I may lose but I will go down fighting!
I was born in the mid 80s and grew up in the 90s. Even though I would have been considered a Nerd and would call myself that, my hight & build pretty much kept me from being physically bullied having been jumped by 3 kids in the 7th grade instead of asking my older cousins for help I made them watch me teach an important lesson on why I'm not to be F withed; never F with someone who grew up playing full contact football, no protection with a brother 7 yrs older than me & my older cousins and their friends. I remember my first week of high school my sister who just graduated asked her friends who were seniors that year to "keep an eye out for me " without me asking only for them to take one look at me a 6ft freshman. At the end of that week she told me what she asked her friends to do & there response that was " no body was going to F with him". Physically people knew they didn't want me as a problem; I was never someone who liked to fight. My parents always told me & my siblings growing up that if we ever started a fight we would not like the punishment but if someone else starts it "finish it" without fear or repercussions. As for verbal abuse let's just say for an introvert people found another reason why one of my nicknames Venom.
Yo this dude knows the theme song? Yes!! The real question is can you do the Lamar Rap from the final showdown at the fair? "Clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands Cuz we're Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu" I will let y'all finish
Takashi (Brian Tochi) would appear in Police Academy 3 and 4 and would do the voice of Leonardo in the 1990s live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies.
I never did a 20-beer tricycle race in college, but I did join the century club a couple times. (A shot of beer a minute for 100 minutes.) It’s only about 8 1/2 beers but it hits hard.
I felt it to the very core of my soul when Tara was talking about her childhood, because that was the exact same thing I endured until I got bigger and stronger than the people bullying me.
"She let 'im hit that box!" Um, best quote ever. I'll die on that hill. I love Tara's reactions. Her and Dawn Marie are the only women reactors that can mostly laugh at the...let's say "problematic" humor from this era. And hearing that she was picked on and beat up...and then learned to fight back, dammit that choked me up. Tara, you're my hero. ❤🩹
Well just to kind of give you a visual… at 4 I was probably only 30 lbs (very small and petite) and according to mom, bloodied the nose of a 10 year old boy that kept pushing me off my big wheel. The boy along with his dad came to the door to talk about what her kid did to his son. Mom says she called me over and said “this is the child that busted his nose” and told him why I did it. Apparently the boy got a spanking the whole way home back to their apartment on the opposite end of the complex and I didn’t get into trouble at all. So by the time kindergarten rolled around I wasn’t much bigger, but trapped on the school bus every morning and afternoon with all of the bigger kids that saw me as an easy target until the day I snapped in 7th grade. Since then I have a zero tolerance for bullying
@@ItsTaraAnn THAT is an awesome story, it filled my heart with great satisfaction. Thank you for sharing that with me. I was exactly the same, very short, very skinny, nerdy glasses, the whole nine yards. One day in high school, this kid that everybody else picked on, decided to pick on me. Long story short, I fought him in the hallway during passing period in front of a packed mob of students cheering me on. I felt 10 feet tall after that and never let someone bully me again. Like yourself, I have zero tolerance for bullying. I hate bullies. I absolutely loathe them and will stand up to them until my dying day.
Bio of the actor playing Lewis' dad with films he is known for: James Oliver Cromwell[1] (born January 27, 1940)[1] is an American actor and activist. Known for his extensive work as a character actor, he has received a Primetime Emmy Award as well as a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Babe (1995). Other notable roles include in Star Trek: First Contact (1996), L.A. Confidential (1997), Deep Impact (1998), The Green Mile (1999), The Queen (2006), W.

From his Wikipedia page...
This is the best reaction to "Revenge of the Nerds" that I've seen. There are sequels to this film; Lewis and Betty end up getting married and live happily ever after in future films, so Betty really did fall in love with Lewis. The two sequences you mentioned (panty raid and rape scene) are very cringy today, but the overall message to accept people for who they are is still timeless.
Ah thanks for reacting to this. I understand that today some things may be problematic, but back in 1984, this was viewed from the lens that the nerds were sticking it the man, and the man were the jocks and the PIES sorority. Even if their methods were a bit inappropriate, we were cheering because they were sticking it the privileged class, and we were all there for it:) Good times:)
I don't know if I had an unusual school or what...but I was a nerd and I mean *nerd.* I was into sci-fi, fantasy, video games, Transformers, Voltron, Robotech, Star Trek, all of that...and I was the fat kid. But I wasn't picked on by the jocks/athletes. However, there was this other kid who was also absolutely a nerd and he picked on me ruthlessly. And I was stood up for by a few of the jocks. I guess that's why I grew up thinking it didn't matter if you were nerd or jock, either one could be a good or bad, it depended not on what you were, but who you were inside.
46:11 If they had just made out in the moon room, it would have been more justified...since she owed him for all the kissing booth tickets he purchased.
I like Revenge of the Nerds 2 as much as the first. I liked part 3 but it wasn't as good as the first 2. In 1980 Robert Carradine and his brothers David from the Kung Fu tv series from the 72-75 & its continuation Kung Fu: The Legend Continues from 93-97, and as Bill in KILL Bill 1&2, and Keith aka Penny's dad in The Big Bang Theory where all in the movie The Long Riders as the Younger brothers, James & Stacy Keach as the James brothers, and Randy & Dennis Quaid as the Miller bros.
Slightly drunk Tara is oddly similar to completely sober Tara

Cromwell was also the president in The Sum of All Fears. He was also the chief of police in LA Confidential. He was the warden in The Green Mile. He was also Bob Gerson the head of NASA in Space Cowboys. He played Dr. Lanning in I, Robot. He was also Zefram Cochran in Star Trek: First Contact. That's just a small sample of the roles he has played.
I have been and always will be a Nerd. Picked on, beaten up. In high school I studied martial arts (a combo of Judo and Tae Kwon Do). One day my primary bully went to sucker punch me after school and I gave him a black eye. I told him "this Nerd just kicked your ass". No one bothered me after that. NERD AND PROUD!
I was the entire cast of The Breakfast Club. I was a Jock/Psycho/Brainiac/A-LIster. How do you manage that? I haven't a clue. I have a genius IQ, and I also have a quasi-eiditic memory. So I would see someone do something, then I would do it myself minutes later just as they did. The same applied to sounds, specifically dialects and accents. I heard someone speaking an accent, and I could copy it right back at them. I learned to do many accents and dialects that way. It's just one of the weirdnesses of the world. But it made growing up in the DC area an entertaining and educational experience.
@@heinleinreader Apparently, humility isn't one of your superpowers.
"I'm team booger" has been my life motto for going on 40 years!
Booger was the man
My favorite part is when Gilbert and his girlfriend exchange glasses, and they just look so much better. 😊
Larry B. Scott who played Lamar was also in another 80's classic Iron Eagles.
Also The Karate Kid and SpaceCamp.
Donald Gibbs(Ogre) lives in Chicago now. He is co owner of a karaoke bar here called Trader Todd's.
I've seen now a few more reactors watching this movie. And I love it. It is a product of its time. And not everybody understand the real message of acceptance that it has.
Finally, someone reacted to this movie. Hopefully, this starts a trend. Other reaction channels need to watch this movie.

Funny how Gilbert turned into Goose for one of the best movies of the 80’s
As I watched this, I realized that Anthony Edwards went from evil school 'King' (Bo Middleton in "High School USA" in '83), to this, to Goose. WOW!

And The Green Mile.
I’ve never understood the classification of Booger as a nerd. In our fraternity, he’d have been one of the first guys we picked 🤣
I think it's because he was a slob, which lumped him in with the nerds. Only reason I can think of for a leather jacket wearing, pot smoking musician to be considered a nerd. Usually, he'd be considered cooler than the jocks.
Now the question is weather or not you continue down the rabbit hole. Or rather the nerd hole. And finish the franchise

Michelle Meyrink played Judy the accordion girl. Timothy Busfield ("Thirtysomething") played Poindexter.

RIGHT!? I totally forgot he was Goose I guess mainly because of the glow up!!
I never made the connection before but during the song/skit scene, Gilbert and Lewis look like male April O'Neils

I also had to learn to fight back and as an adult, I worked in an institutional setting where I had to know how to deal with physical maladaptive behaviors so know now how to counter that so I'm not afraid anymore. I have dealt with 6'6" 350 lb. men so I may lose but I will go down fighting!
I cant unsee it, but young teenage Tupac is basically Lamar 😅
I was born in the mid 80s and grew up in the 90s. Even though I would have been considered a Nerd and would call myself that, my hight & build pretty much kept me from being physically bullied having been jumped by 3 kids in the 7th grade instead of asking my older cousins for help I made them watch me teach an important lesson on why I'm not to be F withed; never F with someone who grew up playing full contact football, no protection with a brother 7 yrs older than me & my older cousins and their friends.
I remember my first week of high school my sister who just graduated asked her friends who were seniors that year to "keep an eye out for me " without me asking only for them to take one look at me a 6ft freshman. At the end of that week she told me what she asked her friends to do & there response that was " no body was going to F with him". Physically people knew they didn't want me as a problem; I was never someone who liked to fight. My parents always told me & my siblings growing up that if we ever started a fight we would not like the punishment but if someone else starts it "finish it" without fear or repercussions. As for verbal abuse let's just say for an introvert people found another reason why one of my nicknames Venom.
i taught my brother how to play cards the same way.
Burke is played by Matt Salinger, who is not only JD Salinger's son, he also played Captain America in a really bad pre-MCU movie.
Yo this dude knows the theme song? Yes!!
The real question is can you do the Lamar Rap from the final showdown at the fair?
"Clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands
Cuz we're Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu"
I will let y'all finish
Takashi (Brian Tochi) would appear in Police Academy 3 and 4 and would do the voice of Leonardo in the 1990s live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies.
Hey Hey there Tara! Now it's time for part 2😂😂 ❤Love your reaction as always.
I never did a 20-beer tricycle race in college, but I did join the century club a couple times. (A shot of beer a minute for 100 minutes.) It’s only about 8 1/2 beers but it hits hard.
My mind went to a very dirty place when Tara said everyone was pulling together.
I felt it to the very core of my soul when Tara was talking about her childhood, because that was the exact same thing I endured until I got bigger and stronger than the people bullying me.
"She let 'im hit that box!" Um, best quote ever. I'll die on that hill. I love Tara's reactions. Her and Dawn Marie are the only women reactors that can mostly laugh at the...let's say "problematic" humor from this era. And hearing that she was picked on and beat up...and then learned to fight back, dammit that choked me up. Tara, you're my hero. ❤🩹
Well just to kind of give you a visual… at 4 I was probably only 30 lbs (very small and petite) and according to mom, bloodied the nose of a 10 year old boy that kept pushing me off my big wheel. The boy along with his dad came to the door to talk about what her kid did to his son. Mom says she called me over and said “this is the child that busted his nose” and told him why I did it. Apparently the boy got a spanking the whole way home back to their apartment on the opposite end of the complex and I didn’t get into trouble at all. So by the time kindergarten rolled around I wasn’t much bigger, but trapped on the school bus every morning and afternoon with all of the bigger kids that saw me as an easy target until the day I snapped in 7th grade. Since then I have a zero tolerance for bullying

THAT is an awesome story, it filled my heart with great satisfaction. Thank you for sharing that with me.
I was exactly the same, very short, very skinny, nerdy glasses, the whole nine yards.
One day in high school, this kid that everybody else picked on, decided to pick on me. Long story short, I fought him in the hallway during passing period in front of a packed mob of students cheering me on. I felt 10 feet tall after that and never let someone bully me again.
Like yourself, I have zero tolerance for bullying. I hate bullies. I absolutely loathe them and will stand up to them until my dying day.
@18:19 "Oh his Flabbers were Gasted!" 🤣🤣🤣

From his Wikipedia page...
We’ve got bush too. lol check the reflection in the background picture. Whoops!!😂
Kevin here- nice!
Carradine showed up to audition in full costume and character.... he wanted this role sooooo bad.
I've never been prouder than when i my son told me he found out what his special purpose was for.i simply asked did you make the whole 8 seconds?
LOL they never notice the large holes with cams
This is the best reaction to "Revenge of the Nerds" that I've seen. There are sequels to this film; Lewis and Betty end up getting married and live happily ever after in future films, so Betty really did fall in love with Lewis. The two sequences you mentioned (panty raid and rape scene) are very cringy today, but the overall message to accept people for who they are is still timeless.
I guess mom isn't George thurogood👈butchered that. Ogre was in my favorite X-Files episode his close encounter was awesome
My favorite Robert Carradine roll is Slim from John Wayne’s The Cowboys.
On the channel
Ah thanks for reacting to this. I understand that today some things may be problematic, but back in 1984, this was viewed from the lens that the nerds were sticking it the man, and the man were the jocks and the PIES sorority. Even if their methods were a bit inappropriate, we were cheering because they were sticking it the privileged class, and we were all there for it:) Good times:)
I don't know if I had an unusual school or what...but I was a nerd and I mean *nerd.* I was into sci-fi, fantasy, video games, Transformers, Voltron, Robotech, Star Trek, all of that...and I was the fat kid.
But I wasn't picked on by the jocks/athletes. However, there was this other kid who was also absolutely a nerd and he picked on me ruthlessly. And I was stood up for by a few of the jocks.
I guess that's why I grew up thinking it didn't matter if you were nerd or jock, either one could be a good or bad, it depended not on what you were, but who you were inside.
Am I right in thinking the dad at the beginning is the Warden from The Green Mile?
In The Longest Yard also.
Bruised....Middle school I learned to heal wounds :->
Lamar was also in Iron Eagle.
Also in the Karate Kid he was the lone black guy in the Cobra Kai Dojo, and also in space camp as Rudy Tyler.
John Goodman is a baby here. 32 years old.
I wasn't a classic "nerd". I was Booger. Legit.
Um tara I'm sure they put have socks on their door handles🍆😂
22:58 - Don't know if you've seen them but, she was in Real Genius (with Val Kilmer) and The Outsiders (Diane Lane's friend)
Michelle Meyrink. She teaches acting in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The girl with the accordion who gets with Gilbert is Mitch's girlfriend in Real Genius. Shes also in The Outsiders.
Gilbert's last name is Lowe. His mother's name is Flo. Flo Lowe.
46:11 If they had just made out in the moon room, it would have been more justified...since she owed him for all the kissing booth tickets he purchased.
Love your reactions! ❤😂 Hope you react to part 2 some time too!
Can't wait for Part II if you do it, that would be a treat indeed
I like Revenge of the Nerds 2 as much as the first. I liked part 3 but it wasn't as good as the first 2. In 1980 Robert Carradine and his brothers David from the Kung Fu tv series from the 72-75 & its continuation Kung Fu: The Legend Continues from 93-97, and as Bill in KILL Bill 1&2, and Keith aka Penny's dad in The Big Bang Theory where all in the movie The Long Riders as the Younger brothers, James & Stacy Keach as the James brothers, and Randy & Dennis Quaid as the Miller bros.
You seem amazing. I love your reactions and also the day drinking haha
I am Amaaaaaazing!!!
Personally, one of the greatest movie/reaction videos ever
I was also picked on aa lot in school. I turned out OK though.
Letting them win keeps you from losing
You still don't trust her. Lol what can we say? Luis knew how to hit that box right.
Double entendre🤔
They were married in part 3
All jocks think about is sports.
All nerds think about is sex. 😂
