Comment RAMBO 2 or ROCKY if I should watch those!
RAMBO reaction: th-cam.com/video/zPGBfi_fyMY/w-d-xo.html
Rocky series for sure!
Definitely watch all of the Rocky movies 🥊
Rocky series is iconic.
Yes to Rocky! Yes to Rambo! Sorry Jen, I'm a little bit greedy for your reactions. Hey I'm only human.
Please do the Rocky series! Wouldn't be against you and your sis teaming up for the franchise either BTW. Just saying haha
My little sister did wilderness search and rescue, and the equipment failure death at the beginning reminds me of what one of her trainers said: "Our motto is. 'We're stupid.' In fact, we are so stupid that we have to check and double check everything to make sure we don't make any stupid mistakes."
Great motto :). Though it's less dangerous than it may seem, climbers do die in all kinds of "stupid" ways (abseiling off the end of your rope is surprisingly common for instance).
That said, the death at the start is almost pure Hollywood - it's so close to impossible for a climbing harness to fail in that way that it effectively _is_ impossible (the harness' manufacturer even had them include a disclaimer in the credits stating that the harness was modified to fail for the movie). No amount of double checking would've helped.
('Cliffhanger' is a lot of fun IMO but it is to climbing what 'Die Hard' is to police work :)
Most underrated Stallone Movie! Nearly everyone hast forgotten this Action Gem!
Not by Me...and it'll Never be Forgotten as long as I Live!
And yet it was a tremendous success on its release. I'm starting to wonder if all movies that don't become a franchise get forgotten, be they ever so successful. "Who framed Roger Rabbit?", "Robin Hood: Prince of thieves" and "Demolition man" are other examples. All of them huge blockbusters at the time, but not many people who weren't there seem to know about them nowadays. Because none of them got sequels?
Bloody great stuff hey mate 😁
Watched this a lot as a kid. It’s so harsh. John Lithgow brought the evil next level and did an amazing job 😅😮❤😳
Great villain! 😈
@@jenmurrayxo Great actor with great span. From serial killer in _Dexter_ to Churchill in _The Crown_ to a father in _Harry* and the Hendersons_ . (*Bigfoot)
And, The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai!
This movie is dedicated in memory to Wolfgang Gulich, whom was Stallone's climbing double. He was sadly killed in a car accident on August 31, 1992. He was 31 years old.
Nominated for 3 Oscars:
Best Visual Effects
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing.
It lost all 3 to JURASSIC PARK.
It was a box office success, making $255 million dollars against a $70 million dollar budget.
It's been labeled as "DIE HARD on a mountain."
It was given an NC 17 rating due to the graphic violence, at least 5 minutes, was cut to get that film an R Rating.
Interesting! 👍
It is a edgy moment
John Lithgow made this movie awesome! He is such a versatile thespian from drama to comedy, from stage to screen. John always gives it his all, even if the movie itself is mediocre.
It was suppose to be him and Christopher Walken as the main villains.
Lithgow in his role would've died first.
So they rewrote the Qualen role to fit Lithgow.
Such a great villain!! 😈
Lithgow is amazingly versatile: drama, thriller, action, comedy ... He can play everything. And on top of that he writes wonderful children's books!
Guy's a real national treasure.
@@MadScheib he is a complete actor
@@k.delpino1124 Actually, I think that Lithgow was brought in at the last minute because Walken left the production.
I was working at a theater when this was released. Seeing it on the big screen really made the terrain and the heights stand out.
How ?
There were so many frustrating deaths (Sarah, the kid, Frank) but also many satisfying ones, when it comes to the villians.
Another good 90s Stallone flick is "Demolition Man." It's a fun action-comedy, sci-fi film. It's got Sandra Bullock and Benjamin Bratt, as well.
1993 is really a comeback
Climbing without a harness is called free climbing. And yes Jen, you should watch Rocky.
A great mountain Climbing Movie is VERTICAL LIMIT starring Chris O Donell, Robin Tunney, Bill Paxton and Scott Glenn
Jen watching an action movie is a great way to start the week.
Always. . .👍
I always loved the way John Lithgow says "fFhetch!"
"He threw the money!" I dont think I have seen Jen as shocked as this, except maybe for The Exorcist. 🤣
8:15 - Interesting Thing of Note:- The film, 'Cliffhanger', is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the costliest aerial stunt ever performed. Stuntman Simon Crane was paid $1 million to cross once between two planes at fifteen thousand feet, without the aid of any safety devices or trick photography.
"You resilient bastard!" --John Lithgow's character. 😂
😂😂
Classic Stallone action. I got excited when I saw this thumbnail. Back when my guy Michael rooker had head full of hair. Jhon Lithgow killed it as the antagonist in this. Great film, great reaction 👍 Also that opening scene scared the crap out of me when I saw this first time. Had a few nightmares.
Thanks! ☺️👍 Lithgow killed it as the villain! 😈
Honestly Jen, watch the movie "The River Wild". It's another action thriller (no explosions, sorry) and it's all set around white water rafting. Great movie. I think you'd love it.
Cliffhanger was one of my favorites and one of the best action thrillers from 1993.
So it was known as 'Die Hard on a mountain' and another Sly Stallone classic.
This had one of the first-ever super bowl trailers with the music of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana: O Fortuna with split-second images.
So pumped to see it on Memorial Day weekend.
The suspense and drama were on par with each other.
But it was the characters and the environment that (for me) drove the action sequences.
I was age 13 at the time this movie came out and i loved it.
Also had the video game on Sega CD and the cutscenes were footage from the actual movie.
The director Renny Harlin made other hits.
Die Hard 2 (1990), The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and Deep Blue Sea (1999), you gotta check these out.
When this movie came out the actress playing Jessie was on the hilarious and quirky show Northern Exposure.
I adored that show so much. Another 'good vibes' show from a similar era was the Australian show Seachange with the gorgeous Sigred Thornton. The actor who played Faramir in LOTR, David Wenham was the male lead in one of the two seasons.
I remember Rob Morrow and especially John Corbett being especially adorable in Northern Exposure. We need more quirky shows out of Canada.
Fun Facts:
The large majority of the film's scenes were shot in the Dolomites in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
For example, the bridge scene was shot on Monte Cristallo in the via ferrata VF Ivano Dibona, which was reconstructed immediately after the movie.
The climbing was mostly on the Tofane cliffs, and in some scenes toward the end of the movie the audience clearly sees the three Tofane, the Croda da Lago, and the town of Cortina; the location of this is on top of Mount Faloria, at the arrival of the funivia Faloria.
In other scenes are the sentiero ferrato Astaldi, over the Rifugio Dibona. The small house has been constructed on the sand of the river Boite, in Fiames, close to the heliport. Some filming took place in Durango, Colorado.
The credits of the film also thank the Ute Tribe for filming in the Ute Mountain reservation.
Cliffhanger is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the costliest aerial stunt ever performed. Stuntman Simon Crane was paid $1 million to perform the aerial transfer scene, where he crossed between two planes at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m).
The principal climbing doubles were Ron Kauk and Wolfgang Güllich. Kauk performed as Stallone's climbing double after Güllich died in a car accident in 1992. The doubles filled in for Stallone on most of the climbing scenes due to the actor's fear of heights; an injury to Stallone's hand, reported to have occurred on one of the cliffs, actually occurred on a soundstage.
This is no set at all
Gosh I miss the 90’s! Still got cliffhanger among other gems on VHS I purchased back in the day!
"I GUESS HE WOULD DIE ANYWAY" HAHAHAHA
I love Cliffhanger, and your dark thoughts during the amped up positive opening made me GRANDPA WHEEZE!!!
This is a legit underrated Sly action flick, it still looks great too if you find it in uhd. also it being referenced in Ace Ventura 2 is hilarious and awesome : P
Never saw Ace Ventura, should I?
@@jenmurrayxo Oh YES, PLEASE do!! Jim Carrey as "Ace Ventura" is one of the funniest characters ever imagined!!
@@jenmurrayxo absolutely : D
A friend worked on that Ace Ventura 2 parody scene. It led to a conflict with the director.
@@jeffthompson9622 hah, no way that's kinda funny : )
$100 million and a bad-ass bunny. The death at the beginning always tears me up.
21:41 Jen getting excited about C4 😄
21:41 I've never seen anyone get that excited at the mention of C-4.
😂👍🔥🔥
This movie is childhood nostalgia for me I miss the 90s.
Great reaction! As always! Fun movie! The Rocky series is a must! Can't wait for you to watch them!!!
I hope She handles the Brutal Boxing scenes better than some other Reactors I could name. . .
Thanks Michael! ☺️👍
This movie had so many action packed scenes...great choice!
John Lithgow as the bad guy is always excellent. Definitely check out the Rocky series - you'll love it guaranteed. And who doesn't love that memorable score. 😉
Thank you Queen for another awesome video reaction!
Thanks Raye! ☺️👍
I think this was the first movie I remember Michael Rooker from as well as Days of Thunder w/Tom Cruise. It's been fun to see him continue to be a part of cinema, even if in a supporting role.
Nice you mentioned the music. Trevor Jones’s longest score and he finished recording about week before film was released.
A week ? That's unheard of
I loved this movie when it came out and I've watched it multiple times over the years. Each time, when the woman's glove slips off and she falls to her doom, it destroys me.
I saw this in the theater with my dad. Ever since, I never miss a Stallone on the big screen. This is one of my favorite action films of the 1990's. Lithgow was a top notch villain, the cinematography was incredible, the stunts are spectacular, and the action scenes are still hold up. Love this one.
I sat next to Janine Turner(Jesse) in the dug out of Chicago Cubs game when she was dating one of the players she was very nice.
19:44 "this is only acceptable in Batman" lol
Rocky for sure with Rambo 2 at some point. You might also consider "Demolition Man" for more Stallone action or even "Judge Dredd".
Loved your reaction Jen, you get so invested 😎 This movie almost had it all, a heist, stacks of cash, action, betrayal and explosions... the only thing missing was a villain lair!
Not seen this since I was little 🙂
Yes to ROCKY.
☺️👍
I love that you react to movies that other's don't fantastic 😁
Thanks! ☺️👍
This movie was such a pleasant surprise for me when it came out. The previews looked awful to me, and a friend dragged me to the movies to see it one weekend, and I was so surprised how good it was.
It's hard to believe nowadays, but Stallone did not only co-write this movie, but he has also screenwriting credits for both the first "Rambo" and "Rocky" movie. He wrote a lot in his younger days.
It's not remotely hard to believe. Stallone wrote ALL the 'Rocky' movies and also directed most of them. And with a writing credit on 'Creed II' from 2018 and the most recent Rambo movie from 2019 he clearly wrote/writes a lot in his _older_ days too :).
(Stallone is much more a _filmmaker_ in general than specifically an actor - he's directed more movies than some full time directors do in their entire careers and written more produced screenplays than many full time writers)
@@anonymes2884 Stallone had talented skills
Cheesy one liners, super human feats in T-shirt, completely psychotic villain without 0 redeeming quality. I just love this film. John Lithgow was so good movie villain. It was shock to me see him this as at the time I knew him from 3rd Rock from the Sun.
Peak 90's cheesy action, love it! ☺️👍🔥💪
Another great one, Jen! Glad to see your long rumored Spider sense confirmed! Wisdom nugget: 'don't die' was true wisdom. I actually paused on pessimist Jen and optimist Jen and cracked up! The 100 mil dollar reaction was priceless. Newest Jen-ism that I've never heard before: 'Scram, you wolves!'. And lastly, 'Buddies!' with the fist pump made me happy. PS: HELL YES YOU SHOULD WATCH ROCKY! it won a freakin' Oscar! Once again you crushed it Jen! A++!
Thanks T!! This one was a blast!! 🔥🔥
Underrated Stallone movie. I’m more of Under Siege guy, but Cliffhanger is pretty good
I'd like to see that one too! 👍
@@jenmurrayxo I second Under Siege! The sequel is one of my all time guilty pleasure movies.
Hey Jen, funny that I am a pilot who adores my flying even tough I have a fear of heights too. Absolutely hate being in highrise buildings upper floors. I get this irrational feeling as if the floors slope toward the edge and sometimes even feel like some unseen force will pull me over the balcony or something. Yet I love flying aerobatics. Go figure !
This movie gives me sweaty palms just watching it.
ALL RIGHT...I've been ready and waiting for this one All Weekend!!! Renny Harlin has Directed some of my Favorite Movies, including "Die Hard 2 / The Long Kiss Goodnight / Deep Blue Sea / 12 Rounds" (all of which I'd highly Recommend too)!!!! Hell Yes to both "Rocky & Rambo 2" 👍 Oh, and don't forget about "Vertical Limit" ...it was also on your Patreon Poll, and it's a really suspense-filled thriller!
I like your reactions, but I love that you put particular attention to the music score, and thats a nice detail. Trevor Jones' score in this movie is awesome.
Demolition Man is a Stallone movie I think you'd really like. And Sandra Bullock is in it too. Peace
Love Jen Murray, love her picks, love her reactions, love her on-screen text, love Canada.
I loved Northern Exposure. Feel like Janine Turner didn't have enough of an acting career.
Sidney Poitier & Tom Berenger 1988 film ‘Shoot to kill’ is an outdoor thriller worth a watch. Also, ‘Deliverance’ 1972 film with Jon Voight & Burt Reynolds and ‘The River Wild’ 1994 with MerylStreep & Kevin Bacon. Hope you get around to viewing them.
Great reaction , this has been my favorite movie for a long long time !
This was Stallones best movie of the 90s, hands down. Had a blast with your reaction Jen 🙂
☺️👍🔥💪
Trevor Jones also composed The Last of the Mohicans, it's a similar sounding score. I listen to it on repeat lol. Definitely an adventure movie too! 🙂👍
Last of the Mohicans is an incredible soundtrack.
@@LordVolkov Definitely. Especially during the chase scene at the very end. Masterful.
Jen says: "Bunnies also matter."
YES!!!
🐰
You were calling it. Any Stallone is good really, I particularly enjoy "the expendables" another you might enjoy is "Conan" 2011. Lots of action and shirtlessness. Look forward to more.
Great reaction, Jen.
Another movie you can check out is Assassins (1995) with Sylvester Stallone & Antonio Banderos
Stallone had some good action movies in the 90’s and one of my favorite comedies being Oscar, which I recommend everyone watch. I also think you would enjoy the Rocky series.
omg Oscar was great!
@@bigalthetank Absolutely! Tim Curry in particular, IMHO.
The bunny scene was my favorite, lol!
That bunny was a badass! 🐰
Vertical Limit (2000) is a decent but much much more cheesy climbing movie. Stars Chris O'Donnell (Robin in the 90s Batman movies), Bill Paxton, Scott Glenn and Robbin Tunney.
John Lithgow can play wholesome family guy and then do straight evil serial killer guy at the drop of a hat.
Hey Hey there Jen. John Lithgow is an AWESOME villain. Thanks for the reaction. Been a while since I watched this on cassette! 🤣🤣
Have a good night 😉👌
Such a great villain!! 😈
I absolutely love your captions and graphics. 🙂
Thanks David! ☺️👍
Who doesn't love wisdom nuggets. "Don't die!"
😂👍
Edit: Demolition Man is a great action comedy with Stallone and Sandra Bullock, highly recommend. My crap memory can't pull up other great mountain movies or stranded in the arctic/antarctic movies, although they certainly exist.
Yessss! A great action movie just stays classic. I love what they did with Hal's character too. Truly wanted Stallone dead for dropping his girlfriend, but instantaneously sacrifices himself to warn Stallone when criminals threaten them both. John Lithgow was a fantastic villain, and later did a great supporting role in Dexter.
But Hal is so egotistical
I never realized there were so many **gun cocking noise, point at protagonist head** scenes in this movie until I watched this condensed version along with you lol.
More Mountains? "The Eiger Sanction" with Clint Eastwood and "Alive" based on a true story of an Andes rescue...
Awww did you not see Frank laughing his head off the whole way through the rescue attempt and the lady falling to her death.
Another fun movie in this same genre and era is Eraser, starring "Ah-nold"! I would certainly recommend it! Broken Arrow with Travolta is also pretty good!
Yeah, both those are great action movies.
This reaction contains my favourite wisdom nugget from Jen... Don't die! 🙂
I loved Jen's reactions to Cliffhanger.
Especially " 100 Million Dollars! " :)
😂👍💵🔥
@@jenmurrayxo do Bad Boys 1. You will find it intriguing
Cliffhanger was always one of my favorite action movies from the 90s, this same director directed: Die Hard 2, another good action movie. On the same theme of mountaineers I recommend: Vertical Limit (2000) and Everest (2015) with Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley, Emily Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal, this last film is not an action film, it is a True drama based on a true story that happened on Everest in 1996.
Hmmm...I was expecting a "That's what she said!" graphic at 22:42. :D Great reaction as always.
"Tango and Cash" should be near the top of your list because it also stars Kurt Russell!!!
In ace Ventura "when nature calls" they are making a spoff of the first scene in this movie
Aside from Demolition Man, and all the Rocky and Rambo movies, Stallone has one more forgotten action movie. It’s called Daylight. The movie is kind of a throwback to the old disaster movies from the 70s, like The Poseidon Adventure. It’s about a tunnel collapse and Stallone is fighting to get the survivors out to, well, daylight. Get it? Ha! It’s solid and intense entertainment.
Haven't even finished watching the reaction yet,
Rambo 2!!!
Also the Jen Wisdom Nuggets are the best!!
😂😂👍
Awesome way to start a Friday , great action , tense moments , bats 🦇 , explosion 💥 , wisdom nuggets , lots of hanging around ( literally 🙂 ) lots of idiots and most importantly JEN being here funny awesome self and yes please write an action movie Jen I'd watch it 🙌 would be epic without doubt . Thankyou as always this was great I could watch this over and over and over
Love the intensity. Thank you!
I first saw this at the drive in as a double feature with The Fugitive and oooohhh boy I am not good with heights! I recently watched it again and had forgotten a lot about it. There’s some serious cheese and some not so great acting, but Michael Rooker steals the show. His final line “he’ll be the one wearing the helicopter” made me laugh so hard I hurt myself. 😂
Lol that's such a great line!! 😂👍🔥
Another movie that, not only has mountain climbing, but you can even call it part James Bond. That movie, The Eiger Sanction (1975). Now the best part, starring and directing by CLINT EASTWOOD. Another movie to put on your list.
And still, to this day, one of the most accurate depictions of climbing in a fictional movie ('Cliffhanger' is fun but it's hilariously bad in that respect, arguably vying for the "top" spot with 'Vertical Limit').
Demolition Man is a great Stallone movie.
The opening scene was amazingly parodied in one of the Ace Ventura -movies with Jim Carrey and a raccoon (I believe) ... and I remember my friends feeling MORE tense and anxious during that one because I think we all *knew* the girl was gonna die ... but would a director really do that to an animal??
((* LOL *))
Thanks for watching this one, it was one of my favorite movies in my younger years. I can't think of a similar action movie at the moment. There is however a movie about a rock climbing accident that's based on a true story called Touching the Void and I was in awe when I watched that movie.
Someone in the comments recommended watching another Sylvester Stallone movie called Demolition Man and I certainly hope you will do a reaction to that one at some point. That really is one that never gets old for me and it's always great to see someone react to it for the first time.
Stallone is actually afraid of heights, but he did a lot of free climbing for this movie.
His dangerous stunts
I recommend the Academy Award winning documentary Free Solo. If you enjoy the climbing in this movie you will love Free Solo.
I always wondered, in the beginning, why the helicopter didn’t pick up the the woman with the cable instead of making her cross to the other side.
You'd probaly like Stallone w/Wesley Snipes & Sandra Bullock in Demolition Man. AND now that you've seen Cliffhanger, I'd suggest Ace Ventura; When Nature Calls (which is the follow up. AV; Pet Detective is the original.)
One of my favorite movies
the mountains you see in this movie are the Italian Dolomites Mountains (north-east of italy)
The first ten minutes of this gives me so much anxiety😳😬
Totally!! 😬
"It costs a fortune to heat this place."
😂👍🔥🔥
Demolition Man!!! Stallone vs. Snipes costarring Sandra Bullock
I'm glad to hear you want to see more films by Stallone now, so I spontaneously recommend "Cop Land" (1997) and "Over the Top" (1987).
Btw, as nice as you hummed along to the melody here maybe we should make sure the movies have good soundtracks in recommendations. xD
Michael Rooker Is better known today as "Meryl Dixon", Darryl's big brother on "The Walking Dead".
BOTH Rocky and Rambo 2 would make for great reactions!
The First Stallone/Schwarzenegger Movie was called "Escape Plan".. you should also put that one on your list!
Oh I need to watch some Walking Dead
Incorrect: Schwarzenegger appeared in 2 "Expendables" movies (2010 & 2012) before Co-Starring with Stallone in Escape Plan (2013).
Escape Plan had them working throughout the entire Movie together. In the Expendables (GREAT Movies as well), Arnold pops in and out but Stallone carries the movies throughout. There was More Statham than Schwarzenegger in them.
"...would he fall into those blades!? I guess he would die anyway..." Yeah but if he falls into the blades he'll probably take out everyone in the chopper too! I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid.
You should check out Copland. It's not your typical Stallone film. It's a crime drama, where Stallone plays a kind of down on his luck cop with some crazy things going on in the NJ town he is the Sheriff in. It's got an INCREDIBLE cast, and Stallone's performance is nothing short of outstanding.
Amazing movie. Great acting, tons of stars.
He should be nominated for a oscar just like Leo Dicaprio
Awesome review of a great Stallone movie!!! Always forget how good this movie is - it just sucks you in and does not let go until the end!!
A few very under-rated Stallone movies to consider:
Over the Top (about ARM WRESTLING competition)
Daylight (basically the same as this movie but inside a TUNNEL)
Cop Land (he is a cop)
Lock Up (with Schwarzenegger and in a prison)
A few ACTION movies based on aircraft to consider:
Air Force One (Harrison Ford)
Executive Decision (Kurt Russell)
Island In the Sky (John Wayne - probably one of his most under-rated performance)
The High and the Mighty (John Wayne again)
Loved your energy. Rocky is a must-watch. What do your spidey-senses tell you that movie would be about? Not what you would think.
