Woody is one of those rare actors who can play both drama and comedy really well. Sign of a very intelligent actor
He us a grabd master chess player 😌
Except for venom: carnage. Even he couldn't rescue that movie
So true just look at That movie a the man from Toronto with Kevin hart he killed his part
A lot of times directors look for people from comedies to star in their work. Breaking bads director hired Brian Cranston for that exact reason
@@MrTimequake he did well with what was given to him tho
"I love Woody but he's a little sick."
That should be on the poster for the next Toy Story movie.
He was never in Toy Story. What are you talking about? Chastise yourself immediately for your internet lies.
lol that would be perfect
@@mr.afrikaans1747 A character in Toy Story is named Woody.
@@BenDowdy and the voice actor for "Woody," is sick.
@JMisland lol!
'Pardon me Woody, but you have tremendous psycho vibes. You're hired!'
"Gee, thanks?"
America's favorite psycho
"I had violence in my life, how did he see that?"
Dude was a Vietnam vet. Enough said.
Damn I didn’t know that, he just had that intuition from the things he’s seen and people he’s been around.
he was not silly
@@harrypothead876 He meant Oliver Stone was so he could see violence in a person's eyes
Real recognize real

A simple google search:
“In April 1967, Stone enlisted in the United States Army and requested combat duty in Vietnam. From September 27, 1967, to February 23, 1968, he served in Vietnam with 2nd Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division and was twice wounded in action.[24] He was then transferred to the 1st Cavalry Division participating in long-range reconnaissance patrols before being transferred again to drive for a motorized infantry unit of the division until November 1968.[25] For his service, his military awards include the Bronze Star with "V" Device for valor, the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster to denote two awards, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, Sharpshooter Badge with Rifle Bar, Marksman Badge with Auto Rifle Bar, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with one Silver Service Star, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Unit Citation with Palm, two Overseas Service Bars, the Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge”
Natural Born Killers is criminally underrated and has a killer cast.
If also had a great soundtrack from start to finish.
@@konstantinkoverchenko9587 I can listen to the soundtrack and see the movie in my head. I’m sure this is a dumb question, have you seen the Directors cut???
@@darrenpokorski7756 I actually didn't know the directors cut was a thing. Is it worth it watching ??
I still have the tshirt with Mickey and Malory's mugshot on the front and the band names on the back of it. Love that movie.
@@coreywho2972 YES!!!
Natural Born Killers, Kingpin, True Detective, the man is a fantastic actor. One of a kind.
Anger Management
The cinematography in natural born killers is the best, sloppiest, creepiest, and most fascinating all in one
That's Oliver Stone. His direction is....unique....
Fr I love the camera work especially the first person shot of the knife and how everything is done practical
It's the editing for me. Whoever edited this organized chaos deserves the Purple Heart
Terrible, even Quinton Tarantino himself called it garbage
@@Woofwoof1929 You let other people decide what is and isn't terrible for you? Use your head for what it's there for instead of dick riding Tarantino like his word is fact, when in reality he only came to that conclusion because of his experiences, training and upbringing in regards to cinema. He'd probably call Reqiuem For A Dream terrible too, that wouldn't make him correct though.
Natural Born Killers is easily the most Quentin Tarantino film that Quentin Tarantino didn’t film.
Absolutely perfect observation
He wrote it
I think he did write it though.
@@becca2938 He wrote the play before it was adapted to film, but the style in which it’s filmed does seem to mimic Tarantino’s style quite well.
Well said my brother.
I absolutely LOVE Woody Harrelson. He's overdue an Oscar
fr, I’ve only seen him in True Crime and The Edge Of Seventeen, but he’s brilliant in both
@@jacobgans9231 watch triangle of sadness, he was brilliant again
I completely agree but they won’t give it to him now after the snl monologue 😂
@@abgodsson1585 true he was too based
@@Ollay245 sounds like a plan
That Natural Born Killer rant from Mickey Knox is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes ever. Downey Jr. was straight up magic in the movie as well.
seeing Rodney Dangerfield and Woody from Cheers playing just evil demonic characters for me was just....insane....
Wait dangerfield is in the movie 2... damn I gotta check it out
@@henryphilips6563he plays Mallory’s abusive dad.
@@henryphilips6563 yes. And his character is.....just go watch it...
@@henryphilips6563 You ain't seen NBK yet?
Woodys like “Shit how did he know about the murder?”
It's pretty well known, actually.
Lolol good one😊
Oliver Stone and Woody are the type of people who understand the world we live in today. I respect them both very much.
I was obsessed with this movie in Highschool. I think I watched well over 100 times. It had an awesome cast, awesome soundtrack, and just the way the movie was shot was cutting edge. Oliver Stone masterpiece.
Thank god for the fact that genes don't always determine actions...or the fact that Woody smokes a lot of weed lol
The weed might’ve killed that genetic trait🤣
still cant believe people used to think it makes you violent like bro
All dogs come from wolves including sheepdogs. Woody proves the point that it's what you do with that wolf DNA that counts most.
His father's actions completely spurred him to be the complete opposite and were all the better for it.
no use name in vain
What ever Oliver saw in him, I thank him for it. Woody's been even more amazing ever since.
EDIT: Holy shit, that's a lot of likes. Thank you all very much! I wholeheartedly appreciate it. 😁
Him in true detective with Matthew mcconaughey is one of my absolute favorite acting performances
@@jwoz8517 watch no country for old men. My favorite of his performances
I 👀 violence in you, great I'm in
I like him too, still. Even though he's a 5g covid conspiracist.
@@jordanbridges lol he told a joke about the cartels and a movie script, MSM goes bananas calling him a antivaxx nut. Why? The joke wasnt about vaccines or covid.
That film defines 90s America more than any other.
Good comparison, nice comment!!!!
And modern America! Just with even more racism now
Love that movie. Woody and Julia they couldn't gotten anyone greater. Oliver Stone picked and paired them so fantastically
I though he was talking about the character but I looked it up and it’s true his dad was a killer that’s probably why woody is so great
So being a killer makes him great?🤔
@@leonardoalbertolarios8053 did u even read?
@@leonardoalbertolarios8053 one of the reasons he’s great cuz he’s actually lived some real shit
@@Maso999 did he or did his father ? Get it right
Being a natural born killer is literally in his DNA 😂 nah all jokes aside tho he’s a great actor
If only Carnage was allowed an R rating what we could have seen this man do
Yea that was a let down I had no interest until I heard he was playing Cletus it got my interest. Then they make it pg13.
Woody made that movie hands down! nobody else could have pulled it off. best choice
@Jake Sulzer People often say that. But tbh I would love to see Quentin Tarantino's version. Who would he have casted?
I don't even know what his thoughts about Woody were.
We know Q. Terentino walked out of the cinema because he thought the movie is so bad.
And tbh I get why he did that. He had a completely different vision of that movie so ofc he felt that other destroyed that.
He even hated that his name was on the movie posters.
But Tarantino is the creator of the story. Without him the movie wouldn't exist. So ofc I'm curious what the .ovie would have been like if he also would have directed the movie.
@@jollyquinn430 I'd love to see Tarantino do a remake and stay closer to his original screenplay. I mean I love the Oliver Stone version we have, but I just want to see Tarantino do his version too!! And i usually hate remakes.
@@jollyquinn430 it would be awesome to see that alternate universe version
@@memyself898if he did it at the time I could see Michael Madsen playing Mickey or Tom Roth
He played the hell out of the part!👏👏👏👏
One of his most iconic roles, he was BORN to play Mickey Knox
This explains so much about Woodys performances.
He's a great actor!! It would be great to hang out with them for a day
If natural born killers with cast with any other actor, it would not be the movie it is today!!! Him an ole girl made that movie pop then Robert at the end representing the media lol was all around epic!!
You can tell Woody can tap into that dark side of himself because he's seen it, but you know how chill he is for the exact same reason.
One of my favorite movies. I must have watched it a half dozen times when it came it out back in High School.
Woody is one of my favorite actors.. what a phenomenal movie.. I must watch it again..
I love Woody Fuckin Harrelson. Dude is such a chill, interesting dude. He's like the Badass version of Matthew McConaughey. Able to vibe with anyone. Quick witted. Has range. Not somehow you'd think can take it to an extreme, but blows your mind with their talent. Knowing what i know about his background, just makes me respect him even more. I wish Hollywood could give guys like him the recognition they deserve.
What the hell?? He's a a list actor
Matthew McConaughey is the badass version of Matthew McConaughey ...Have we all forgotten that season 1 of True Detective exists??
McConaughey is less of a crazy asshole
Woody Harrelson tried to balme Covid on 5g internet
I highly suggest u wikipedia woodys accolades about how many Emmys hes won and how many Oscars nominations hes had before making that dumb comment about him not being recognized
@@sergeantbigmac I also support this. But will add that Matt and Woody play very well off each other’s vibes. Definitely recommend watching Season 1 of True Detective on HBO.
My father knows the real story of why Woody's father went to prison. One of the Chagra brothers (the crazy one, don't remember his name) offered $10K to kill this judge, in El Paso, that hated the Banditos, and the marijuana smugglers (my father's crew). The Banditos ended up killing him but had zero interest in the money and didn't do it for the Chagra brother, anyway. But since no one took the money and no one was admitting to the murder, Woody's dad said he did it and got paid the $10k. But then he ended up having to do the time for a crime he really didn't commit.
He did, however, kill many other people, in his life, as he was a contract killer, at the time.
You sure your Father would want you spilling the beans?
@@JohnnyVega-cc2rq I’m sure his father would let him off the hook when he sees he has 13 likes
@@JohnnyVega-cc2rq if the story is true it wouldn't really matter because everyone involved are probably dead.
@@JohnnyVega-cc2rq
No one is spilling any beans that involved parties don't already know all about. This happened almost 50 years ago. Most everyone involved has passed, by now, too. Besides, my dad was a great storyteller and that was one of the good ones. I wish I could remember all the details, like he did. Like the actual bar this took place at, in El Paso - The Hideaway, or something like that.
Why would one book life in jail for lousy 10k? Even if it would have been 100k - it makes no sense!
This movie was a goddam masterpiece. And one of my all time favorite movies for the soul
Woody. I misjudged him on the past. He’s extremely underrated and a fantastic actor bar none. Hats off to Woody H.
Oliver: I see violence in you
Woody: I’m just high
Well oli and terantino were doing shrooms..so there's that
Pretty much everybody has a dark side
Woody was perfect for this role. Couldn’t see anyone else doing it.
I. Could. Actually See. Brad. Pitt. Doin. It.
Actually. I. Can. See. Tom. Sizemore. Doing it, AND. Doin. It. Well. Too !
Woody Harrelson has always been an amazing actor.
Excellent movie.
1 of the greatest movies of all time...every single actor in the movie brought their A+++ game...as brilliant and frightening Woody wad Juliette Lewis had me even more terrified and speechless ...and Tommy Lee Jones was frikkin hilarious
Don't forget RDJ as welll!
@Ab N3r agreed he was brilliant as he always is...i did say every single actor in the movie
RIP Tom Seismore. Love this film. Chaotic but full of character👍❤️
One of the greatest love stories ever made.
Not even mentioning the fact that his father's shotgunned a federal judge in a parking lot in front of the courthouse
I've shotgunned a beer but how does one shotgun a judge?
@@KenMabie you walk up to them with a 12 gauge shotgun and blow them away in front of a crowd of people. He was sentenced to life in prison for that.
@@bluebeard6189 I thought you'd cut off the feet and then pop his top and let the red red karoovy flow. Right right me boy-o
@@KenMabie I think there was still just give him life for that.
@@bluebeard6189 dude are you slow? I was making a joke. Shotgunning a judge like shotgunning a beer. I'm quite familiar with shooting someone in public... Don't believe me.. look up my dad. "Wayne Aultman Chester PA "... Best 40th birthday present ever...
I go weak for Woody
Never has a role been more perfectly cast!!! He IS Mickey Nox
Such a great movie. Woody was absolutely perfect.
Imagine if True Detective Season 1 they had Woody & Matt swap their roles. I bet the season would've still been great.
Easily still great I think.
Wouldn't have been as good. No way. Still good but not brilliant
They both are great actors and would definitely play opposite roles well.
“I hated that fucking movie. If you like my stuff, don’t watch that movie.” ~Quentin Tarantino
Tarantino's sux
And still got cashed out from selling the script
@@DMalltheway wack ppl are cashing out a lot b
Woody seems pretty underrated. Great actor, thanks for the memories.
I like that he is open to being in so many roles
first time watching this movie felt like a psychedelic experience!
There was talk one time about a sequel. At the end of the movie, she pregnant and they have kids. The sequel (if what I read was true) was supposed to be about the children and how the demon gets passed.
Oliver and Quinten admitted to taken shrooms for the majority of filming supposedly
One of the best and most underrated movie ever made. Natural Born Killers
Ive seen him in all aspects of movies and characters. Amazing
One of the greatest films of the 1990s no doubt and #RIP #TomSizemore
this is in my top 10 movies of all times, I saw it when I first came out I was just a kid, probably shouldn’t have been watching but I did and something in it frightened me and resonated with me all at the same time. it’s a masterpiece.
Probably one of the greatest movies ever made.
What a love story.
❤❤
I love this movie one of my all time favourite. Great story, so many great characters.
Charles Harrelson killed a Texas judge too and it’s referred to in the book No Country for Old Men - Woody starred in a film version of No Country for Old Men years later playing an unrelated character
I "felt it" when I did a background check.
Woody Harrilson is one of the greatest actors I've ever watched on the big screen, no matter what character he's ever played the man is a genius...
To chose Woody and Juliette was the perfect pair and that's why Oliver Stone is Top Dog on these kinds of movies. Dynamite comes in small packages and so does Juliette~!!
Juliette Lewis looks like her parents were first cousins.
@@The_Bigot Man I don't know what you are seeing??? I see she's cute as hell and has a little tight body that Rocks my world~!!!!!
Woody is versatile. He has range as an actor. Phenomenal.
My favourite movie to this day🙏🏾💯
He was so amazing in True Detective
this is hands down, without a doubt my favorite film of all time
One of my favorite actors he is so dam good
That movie was a masterpiece! I watched it in theatres with a big group of friends! I was about 17. We were all high on Acid and Angel Dust! Fun times!
Woody Harrelson is a national treasure. Little kooky, but ultimately a great person.
What brilliant casting. Woody was, indeed, irreplaceable in that role, a rare accolade I can only name for a handful of roles (e.g., Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones).
Woody is one underrated actor I love him
Woody was perfection in this role.
I've seen Woody as the blind fella in seven lives, then I've ssen him in Natural born killers. I instantly realized then what a great performer he is. He also worked perfect for comedy in Zombieland!
Nobody ever talks about Robert Downey Juniors performance in that movie.
He was phenomenol
One of the greatest movies ever made
His character in out of the furnace is so spot on . Scary but has the best lines at the same time haha
I loved that film.
I saw it opening night in Los Angeles, and then again the next night.
There was a real sarcastic genius to that film.
You either got it, or it offended you.
I love this movie. It was awesome to see Woody playing outside his normal roles.
His father was a crazy assassin/hitman. He got his whole vibe, energy, aura from him. That's why he's so perfect at being the bad guy
One of the best parts of that movie was Tom Size more who died a few days ago...R.i.P tom..you will be missed.
Woody Harrelson is a national treasure!
A masterpiece of a movie indeed
Woody nailed the role so much in fact that it's unimaginable to think of any other actor playing that role.
He doesn't get enough credit. Woody is so authentic in every role he plays. Absolutely brilliant.
Great movie. I think it's Woody's most iconic performance and character.
One of my all time FAVOURITE movies
One of my favorite movies & actors
One of my favorite movies and actors ❤❤
Actually watching this Cult classic. So excessively brutal and mesmerising. Harrelson, Lewis, Downey Jr, Lee Jones and the late Sizemore are all exceptionally perfect. So much love for this. Bravo Oliver Stone and the legendary Tarantino
I love woody...,the most humbled soul's come from violence and tragedy!!!
And that was the thing about Woody, especially at that time, he was know for the mild-mannered bartender, a BBall park player, and then NBK showed-up with him as the Prime killer put the audience in shock-mode seeing him in that role....Juliette Lewis greatly helped to that crazy movie, too. Woody channeled his father's inner evil in him.
Those cop-kicks at the end were just great
Superb casting choices for that flick!
This sums oliver's greatness
I've seen a lot of movies but this one I will never forget
Woody is criminally underrated as an actor. He's fantastic.
One of my favorite movies of all time
Natural born killers is one of my most favorite movies Great job
Natural born killers had a great cast. They all killed their roles
I forgot how good this movie is, even the soundtrack is amazing.
One of my favorite actors ! Woody is cool !
Couldn’t have found anyone better this time is made for him
Imagine how proud his father may have been, sitting in the can watching his son on the TV.
