I love this movie and I think it has one of the best endings in the history of Cinema. When the Action Hero goes back into the Screen he tells the boy that he will be there for him whenever he needs him. The idea that we can use a movie, tv show, music or any other art form to enpower us or to provide a escape from life is a touching sentiment. Whether you are feeling down and need something to make you feel better or a Character like Atticus Finch to restore your faith in humanity and show you the way forward. This movie's ending absolutely Beautiful and inspiring.
Saw this movie in theaters. It's always been one of my favorites, and it still holds up today. Like someone said earlier, most of the action movies today have finally learned to not take themselves too seriously. Last Action Hero did it way before.
@@sonicmario64 no stupid critics can also make valid points considering they watch more movies than the average person. You never seen a review where a critic makes a valid point and wonder how they do that? Well unlike dumb casual movie goers they actually pay attention with what they watch and analyze the movie. They have a better time explaining what works and what doesn't. It sounds like you get easily offended when someone criticizes movies you like. Well too bad! Because criticism is still important as it always was.
@@RisingBeast00 The problem with Critics is that they think they're The Gatekeepers to Pop Culture. To be perfectly honest I've always felt that The General Public is more in touch with makes a great movie than Professional Mainstream Critics and even HollyWood film makers
Critics are just political activists now and only care if the movie pushes agenda over quality story. I have never trusted critics ever since Rolling stone magazine hated Queen when I was a kid. I don't understand why people put care what critics have to say about anything?
I think the thing that really killed this movie's theatrical performance was releasing it almost immediately after JURASSIC PARK. Probably not the wisest move.😮💨
I remember seeing this when it came out. The AC/DC heavy soundtrack, Arnold poking fun at himself relentlessly, all the action movie cliche's and puns, so damn good. It had heart, comedy and some touching moments as well. I don't understood why it never caught on.
I absolutely loved Last Action Hero, it’s one of my all time favorites. It believe that it was a concept ahead of its time. Doesn’t help with the stubbornness of being released a week after Jurassic Park.
daAnder71 Well, back then Terminator 2 just came out and today we have Terminator Dark Fate. Also, Jurassic Park was literally just released back then and today we have Star Wars the social justice experiment. I can understand the sentiment for the past
This has been my favorite movie since it came out. I think I was in first or second grade. Back then, to me it was the greatest action movie. But growing older I've caught all the jokes and tongue'n'cheek satire that is truly what the movie is, and is genuinely a masterpiece. I watch it once or twice every year. Where as when I was a kid I watched it all the damn time. And I can still quote the damn thing almost word for word. When my kids got to about the same age I was when I first saw it, i introduced them. And they love it too. My 16yo now sees the brilliant comedy behind it and now has a new appreciation for just like I did around that age too. This is on of those perfect movies in my eyes that has only gotten better everytime I watch it... like die hard, lethal weapon, T1&T2, and a few others. It's not everyone's cup'a'tea but to those it appeals to, it is very much a beloved film.
This film was so ahead of the crowd, especially the narrow minded critics. That "Too many cooks in the kitchen" thing doesn't apply here because even though it wasn't intentional, I think that having so many writers on the same film really helped make this film so diverse in feel and themes. It really works for me, a true rare breed. So glad that the dimensional elements were kept in because I think it's like the way that life imitates art and then influences in life create more art. It comes full circle. And how at the end when Danny doesn't want to leave the film World because he feels like he'll lose his favourite hero but Arnie says he'll always be around when he needs him. That makes me think of how people, including myself, often use entertainment, especially the very immersive and deep kinds of entertainment, are like a false sense of escapism but if you don't come back to the real World, bad things can happen like you can lose yourself in it. Also, how many people seem to get attached to celebrities all the time and sometimes get obsessed. They feel like they love those celebrities but actually only love the character they're portraying. I'm actually glad that Alan Rickman said no, I love his portrayal of Hans Gruber in Die Hard, it's bloody amazing, but Charles Dance absolutely owned the role of Benedict. It's so iconic and memorable, especially the sly and clever remarks he makes about Vivaldi and all the funny 4th wall breaks like when he proves his theory =P Fair play to Arnie throughout too, most of his films are full on action and for him to take the piss out of the whole genre and himself at times just shows how humble a man and a good sport he is. One of my all time favourites. Great video Minty. The film's got one heck of a soundtrack too, both score by Michael Kamen and licensed tracks.
I absolutely loved this movie then and now. Arnold mispronouncing his own name floored me. Let’s not forget the exceptionally well trained guard dogs 🤣🤣 So many moments in that movie - love it to pieces. Great find as always Minty!
I saw both Jurassic Park and Last Action Hero when first released. I thought both of them were groundbreaking movies. I had much love for them both. To this day I still believe Last Action Hero is Arnold Schwarzenegger's best work. Crazy that to this day I still talk about this movie and the amount of people that have never seen it is mind blowing. Same goes for Hudson Hawk.
I blew up the movie theaters sound system by cranking AC/DC- Big Gun in the end credits. Luckily I was the only one working as a projectionist and didnt get blamed. It sounded awesome!
Probably one of the top movie soundtracks of all time... some of my other favorites: Matrix, Spawn, Starship Troopers, Point Break, The Saint, Tron Legacy, Swordfish, Hackers, Step Up 2, Strange Days, Iron Eagle, Streets of Fire & Top Gun
This movie was just a lot of fun and allowed me to dive into my imagination and daydream what it would be like to go into my favourite movies! How cool would that be! And imagine the kinds of cool things you could bring back with you?!
One of my favorite action movies of all time. I saw it in the movie theater when I was about 13 or 14. I loved the plot, I loved the characters, I loved the meta humor, and I loved all the hard rock and heavy metal. Especially Alice in chains and Megadeth. I even bought the soundtrack on cassette from my Walkman. The mid 90s were wonderful. Life sucks now.
Ahhhh! You dont know how excited i am for this! This was one of my top action movies growing up. This is so nostalgic for me and the one liners are off the charts!
It's amazing how crazy and absurd the action in this movie is and yet fast forward 20 years later and Fast and the Furious takes the absurdity to a whole nother level!
@@billkeithchannel I appreciate the franchise for what it is, a leave your brain at the door bunch of action films. What I don't like is the amount of stupid errors in it from a mechanical view, surely they could have gotten an advisor
I agree with you Minty and a lot of other comments here. I liked "Last Action Hero" and saw it for what it was. It was simply a satire making fun of all the high powered action movies of its time. I actually liked the concept and the thought process behind it. While there was a part of the finished product that I liked, the fact that Danny kept trying to convince Jack that it was infact a movie, got a little tedious and boring and took away from the plot some. I liked your comparisons too in saying it wasn't serious enough to be "Lethal Weapon" but not outlandish enough to be "Loaded Weapon" (another satire of the 80s cop movies). I do have to say that for Arnold's next movie after "Terminator 2", the public might have been expecting something more but I also think at this time Arnold might have been trying different movies that would expand his acting abilities because this is not too far removed from him doing movies such as "Kindergarten Cop" and "Twins".
This movie flopped big time and everyone around me were personally offended at Sony(My family and I left the theater VERY ANGRY). I personally say to fanboys of this borefest, you weren't alive in 1993 and thus didn't experience, the CRASS,OFFENSIVE,CONDESCENDING Marketing that Sony pulled on this piece of shit. Marketing it as an Action film, but offending Movie goers who saw the film as Cliched,Forced,Inane,Idiosyncratic and stupidly pious that did a piss poor job at Satire. And somehow expected us moviegoers to go along with it and pat them on the back.
@@birdmasterthecaffeinatedowl Apparently James Cameron won't oversee a HD master for the Blu-ray (despite there being an HD TV broadcast). Also, there's still 9/11 sensitivity and that is why the film has fallen to the back burner.
@@thenostalgiafactor5023 A bunch of movies and television have various references to the 9/11 or WTC so there's no censoring it. _True Lies_ has quite the re-watch factor and is highly praised so Cameron ought to at least consider. I'd give him a year or so. He's probably grumpy his trophy for having the highest grossing movie ever has been YOINKed out of his hands.
Charles Dance was the best part of this movie. He was probably 2nd choice for Benedict because it would give Arnold a run for his money. He was Amazing as Benedict. Shit, and the soundtrack👍
The 90s were a great time. I was old enough to understand the jokes and appreciate the awesome over the top action. I never would have compared it to the Simpsons, but now I can see it and love it even more!
Great episode, Minty. Last Action Hero is an underrated parody masterpiece for movie connoisseurs only! The flying exploding car sequence (6:36) is one of my favourites.
Even though it was not well received in theaters, I still love this classic film. I really love that it is a film within a film. Can you do 10 things you didn't know about Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat?
Charles dance played a great bad guy in this love the scene where he says in thia reality the bad guys can win and the bit where he go recruiting movie villains
It was such a good spoof people either forgot or didn't know and criticized it for being a a weird/cartoony action flick, my opinion it's hugely underated, remember seeing this in my local theater as a youngster and feeling like I pulled some scam off because it was a "comedy" but actually at times kinda dark.
One of my favorite movies. Because of this movie I fell in love with rattlesnake skin boots This movie also introduced me to the greatness which is Megadeth
It's weird how these early 90s movies introduced me to some of my favorite old school metal bands, though I think I had already heard megadeth by then. But movies like mortal kombat for instance. I discovered fear factory and napalm death from that movie. I've come a long way since then, but in no small way thanks to these type of movies.
@@mikegrossberg8624 Oh, gee, you're right! I've gotta try to be more alert in the middle of the night, especially with my ancient mind the way it is. Damn funny Tee, anyway!
@@BennyLlama39 Back in the days before cable was available in my locale, I bought "TV Guide" every week and went to movie critic Judith Crist's column. After a year or so, I realized that if she thought a movie was trash, I'd enjoy the hell out of it. Good way to pick 'em: if she liked it, I probably wouldn't, and if she didn't like it there was a 95% chance I _would!_
Nobody will ever sound like "Alice in Chains". I used to sing "No Excuses" and "Them Bones" with my friend's band. Man, the harmonies are so close, so tight... they're tough ones to sing! I was about 22 or 23 during their heyday, I could NEVER sing those now!
@@damionstjames that's great, sometimes it's the little things that make a huge difference. I know as I too suffer mental health issues, there not fun!
Try to keep your head up and keep an eye out for things to stay positive for. There is no shame in seeking help if it becomes too much to handle on your own though, no man is an island.
Last Action Hero is a really fun movie! I remember watching it at a friend’s birthday party and we all laughed a lot and had a great time! That’s probably my favorite memory with this movie! Arnold does a fantastic job in this movie and gives an incredible performance! This will always be high up on my list of favorite movies featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger!
I don't think i would ever have kids if the grim reaper told me i die a grandfather. Imagine how it would feel after birth, you know that any minute could be your last.
A friend and I made a double feature of Jurassic followed by a midnight screening of Action Hero. We both loved Hero and totally got what the point was. We were surprised at how unpopular it turned out to be. We decided everyone just wanted another Arnie movie, not a parody of one.
Amazing soundtrack. I was learning to play guitar back in 93 and this soundtrack was one of my jam along favorites. What the Hell Have I by AIC is a terrific song.
Very very underrated movie especially the 3rd act back in NY when the film gets serious. I personally feel this is one of Arnolds best films. I feel this is really the only Arnold movie that is truly self aware of what it is.
I remember renting the VHS from blockbuster, I fell in love with it. One of my top 10! But because it was so long ago I didnt notice the cameos, thanks for this review and trip down memory lane ✌
We saw this when it was released. We’d heard the poor reviews, but the seats were $2 and there was literally nothing else playing in our small town. The dozen or so of us in the theater laughed, and hooted, and loved this send-up of our beloved action movies. 🍿❤️
Another deeply underrated film! Not a classic by any stretch but I never understood the hate for it. Used to love the platform game on the Atari ST back in the day as well. Good call 👍
“Bunny, ball ball!” That and “I’ll torture you so slowly you’ll think it’s a career. I’ll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom” are my favorite lines. Bruce was great at funny roles. Hit or miss with action roles
Loved this film. Specifically Charles Dance's character. I thought he was the epitome of cool with a dash of funny via his frustrations with the late great Anthony Quinn

I like "Hey kid, you wouldn't have a cup of warm water would you?" Harry said from "Dumb And Dumber" better
One of my favorite movies. Because of this movie I fell in love with rattlesnake skin boots
This movie also introduced me to the greatness which is Megadeth
Pray for Dave to recover from throat cancer.
It's weird how these early 90s movies introduced me to some of my favorite old school metal bands, though I think I had already heard megadeth by then. But movies like mortal kombat for instance. I discovered fear factory and napalm death from that movie. I've come a long way since then, but in no small way thanks to these type of movies.
One of my favorite action/comedy movies of all time. Simply LOVE Arnold in this role :)
Alan Rickman was a great actor but Charles Dance is an awesome actor too. His portrayal of Tywin in Game of Thrones was superb.
*I'M CHEAPER THAN ALAN RICKMAN*
I don't know why I laughed at that.
Showed Rickman had a good sense of humor.
@@oldenweery7510 NOT Rickman. The OTHER guy!
@@mikegrossberg8624 Oh, gee, you're right! I've gotta try to be more alert in the middle of the night, especially with my ancient mind the way it is. Damn funny Tee, anyway!
Critics couldn't understand a movie.......what a shock that why no one should even watch critics
Pfft! I've been ignoring those jackasses for years. 🙂
@@BennyLlama39 I read the critic's reviews. If they say a movie sucks...I buy a ticket.
@@bonusbaby801 🤔 That actually makes sense. May have to try it some day. 🙂
@@BennyLlama39 Back in the days before cable was available in my locale, I bought "TV Guide" every week and went to movie critic Judith Crist's column. After a year or so, I realized that if she thought a movie was trash, I'd enjoy the hell out of it. Good way to pick 'em: if she liked it, I probably wouldn't, and if she didn't like it there was a 95% chance I _would!_
I've watched this movie a lot over the years. like it. Love Arnold. Ooh la la!!
Alice In Chains started playing I turned the volume UP!! I love them! RIP Layne & Mike!! 🥰😍
Nobody will ever sound like "Alice in Chains". I used to sing "No Excuses" and "Them Bones" with my friend's band. Man, the harmonies are so close, so tight... they're tough ones to sing! I was about 22 or 23 during their heyday, I could NEVER sing those now!
Hey minty, thanks for making these. You have really cheered me up lately. Been not doing very well mentally.
That's not good, I hope things can get better for you 😁
@@SkellingtonFan Thanks. I look forward to these videos, they cheer me up every time I see them.
@@damionstjames that's great, sometimes it's the little things that make a huge difference. I know as I too suffer mental health issues, there not fun!
One moment at a time. That may seem tedious, but that’s how we all do it. You’re not alone, my friend.
Try to keep your head up and keep an eye out for things to stay positive for. There is no shame in seeking help if it becomes too much to handle on your own though, no man is an island.
last action hero is a masterpiece. most just do not understand the movie and its deep meanings
@J Wil go fuck yourself the movie is not bad. I have it on DVD
Hahahaha it's a fun movie, but it ain't no masterpiece.
You ask "Why all the weird cameos?" One word: HOLLYWOOD!
LAH was such a fan service movie and why we loved Arnie's work. He was always the most fun of the action hero actors.
Hello?!? Ive just shot somebody and i want to confess! Lmao hilarious
Thank you so much for doing your videos. It only proved how awesome my childhood was!
Last Action Hero is a really fun movie! I remember watching it at a friend’s birthday party and we all laughed a lot and had a great time! That’s probably my favorite memory with this movie! Arnold does a fantastic job in this movie and gives an incredible performance! This will always be high up on my list of favorite movies featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger!
My favorite "Arnold" movie ever. Great movie. So many things going for it. Loved cameos.
Even though it's called Last Action Hero it's still a very underrated Schwarzenegger action film.
LOL
It's the best one yet
IT BOMBED. For a REASON.
🤔
I think the movie was deeply philosophical, especially the boy talking to Grim Reaper.
I don't think i would ever have kids if the grim reaper told me i die a grandfather. Imagine how it would feel after birth, you know that any minute could be your last.
@@agentk3984 any minute can always be your last, you just don't think about it all the time
YES about time you done this film Minty. Massively underrated film!
I loved it, pokes fun at so many of the things that have to happen behind the scenes to make the stars look good.
A friend and I made a double feature of Jurassic followed by a midnight screening of Action Hero. We both loved Hero and totally got what the point was. We were surprised at how unpopular it turned out to be.
We decided everyone just wanted another Arnie movie, not a parody of one.
I remember one review called it "a boated Americanisation of 'Cinema Paradiso'" which is frankly the most stupid comparison ever.
Yes, because those find are sooo similar! 🙄
There is not ONE thing about those films that is similar.
Amazing soundtrack. I was learning to play guitar back in 93 and this soundtrack was one of my jam along favorites. What the Hell Have I by AIC is a terrific song.
Amen brother.
Truely one of the greatest movies of the ninties. Love it and always will.
That shirt may have said "Cheaper than Alan Rickman"', but Charles Dance is just priceless.
Minty you rock! Thanks for doing all this research to teach us all.
This movie has a great music soundtrack!!!!!!! Alice In Chains, Megadeth and plenty more.
Two of my favorites!
Very very underrated movie especially the 3rd act back in NY when the film gets serious. I personally feel this is one of Arnolds best films. I feel this is really the only Arnold movie that is truly self aware of what it is.
"Look, elephant!" is not nearly as odd a thing for Arnold to say as "Put that cookie down!" from "Jingle All The Way".
Or his "It's not a tuma!" In kindergarten cop
You forgot Jim Belushi he was in the red carpet scenes too
I remember renting the VHS from blockbuster, I fell in love with it. One of my top 10! But because it was so long ago I didnt notice the cameos, thanks for this review and trip down memory lane ✌
Was one of my favorite movies of all time. And, had a very good soundtrack.
The soundtrack should have been in the countdown. It was amazing.
I've always loved Last Action Hero. It captured my imagination. Maybe this movie wasn't meant for square, lame adults.
I always and will always love 'Last Action Hero'. I saw it back than at the Cinema and saw it a 1000 times on VHS, DVD and BlueRay ;-)
We saw this when it was released. We’d heard the poor reviews, but the seats were $2 and there was literally nothing else playing in our small town. The dozen or so of us in the theater laughed, and hooted, and loved this send-up of our beloved action movies. 🍿❤️
Has Minty done Hudson Hawk yet? If not, please Minty. Do Hudson Hawk ;)
Another deeply underrated film! Not a classic by any stretch but I never understood the hate for it. Used to love the platform game on the Atari ST back in the day as well. Good call 👍
“Bunny, ball ball!” That and “I’ll torture you so slowly you’ll think it’s a career. I’ll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom” are my favorite lines. Bruce was great at funny roles. Hit or miss with action roles
Hudson Hawk, easily one of my all-time favorite movies.
I’ve seen this movie at least 30 times I wish they would remake it with the Rock and have Arnold make an appearance in it
Oh for fuck's sake! Don't give anybody ideas.
I treasure this film, loved it as a kid and again as an adult.
Loved this film. Specifically Charles Dance's character. I thought he was the epitome of cool with a dash of funny via his frustrations with the late great Anthony Quinn
