I have a friend who's good friends with Shane Black. She invited me to go to his house one time a few years ago. Really good guy. Talked to him about some of his movies and also how much I loved kiss kiss bang bang.
Love this movie. It's basically just 90 minutes of one liners. And it even recognizes it: "This is the 90ies you can't just hit a guy, you've got to say something cool first"
The film being watched is Lethal Weapon. The Riggs electric torture scene and also written by Shane Black. Loved this film as a kid, so many great one liners.
Of course you do, so many people on TH-cam have “the feeling” that everything is underrated! What you just said has been said only a billion times. I don’t know if you people are living on another planet, or what but you need to get off of the false notion that everything is underrated.
@@nsasupporter7557 _Mostly_ I think you have a point - i've genuinely seen comments claiming movies are underrated when they were box office smashes, are in the 80s or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, even won frikkin' Oscars FFS !? "Underrated" sometimes seems to be Gen-Y/Z for "In my friend group not everyone likes/has seen it". Which, y'know, is dumb because the world is bigger than your friend group. BUT in this case I sort of get it - when people talk about great action movies, this often doesn't feature. Even when talking about great _Shane Black_ movies it's not always prominent. I've watched a bunch of reactions to the 'Die Hard' films for instance and to me this is an absolutely natural follow-on (a wise-cracking Bruce Willis action movie from the same era) and yet these are the first reactors I watch regularly that have seen it. So I dunno, maybe this one actually _is_ underrated ?
@@nsasupporter7557 but in this case he has a point. If not underrated then at least not mentioned enough as a “buddy cop” (even tho Wayans isn’t a cop) fun action flick
@@anonymes2884 thank you, I’m glad that you see what I’m talking about 🙂… the point is “underrated” has become this insanely popular word that so many people use every 2 seconds on TH-cam. People just use it mindlessly all the time even when it’s inaccurate and/or unnecessary.

FUN FACT: The Football player that blew his brains out was played by Billy Blanks. He invented a martial arts exercise system called Tae Bo. Commercials and infomercials galore for a while 30 or so years ago.
Lol, I recognized him the moment I saw him onscreen in the theater when this came out back in the 90s. But then I was already familiar with his works in 80s films like "The King of Kickboxers" with Loren Avedon and "Bloodfist" with Don Wilson, way before he started the Taebo craze.
18:28 The movie that Darian is watching on television is Lethal Weapon (1987), which was also written by Shane Black and produced by Joel Silver. Specifically, she's watching the scene in which Mel Gibson is being tortured by Al Leong, who played one of the thieves in Die Hard - takes a candy bar in the vending machine (1988) that also starred Bruce Willis and was produced by Silver. Mel Gibson was originally offered the role of John McClane in Die Hard (1988), and Bruce Willis was offered the role of Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon (1987), and both ended up taking the opposite role.

The script for The Last Boy Scout was written by Shane Black (who wrote Lethal Weapon), and its original title was "Die Hard," but producer Joel Silver asked Shane Black if he could borrow that title for the film he was working based on the novel, "Nothing Lasts Forever," which eventually became 'Die Hard,' and the script was renamed 'The Last Boy Scout.' At the time, Shane Black became the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood for The Last Boy Scout screenplay, which earned him a then-record $1.75 million. Black said about writing the screenplay, "I was busy mourning my life and, in many ways, the loss of my first real love. I didn’t feel much like doing anything except smoking cigarettes and reading paperbacks." Unfortunately, the production was riddled with problems from the start. Conflict and arguments erupted between Bruce Willis, producer Joel Silver, and director Tony Scott, and Willis and Damon Wayans reportedly hated working with each other. Shane Black had to wrestle with a lot of rewrites, and Bruce Willis was reluctant to do the film, since he felt that it wasn't that different from Die Hard since both films had his character saving his wife, so the wife character was diminished in the script. There was pressure from the studio to make the film even bigger, as a follow-up to Die Hard.
I'll add to that...I used to work at Universal and did some projects with Dick Donner (director of the Lethal Weapon series and a bunch of other stuff). Shane Black co-wrote Lethal Weapon and he and Dick were fairly close. Black (and Warners) wanted Donner to direct The Last Boy Scout and sent him the first draft script but Dick was committed to another project and couldn't do it. A few weeks later before the Last Boy Scout went into production Donner was telling a bunch of us at dinner one night about the script and how insane it was. Donner shared one part of the script in particular with us. In the opening act where the football player shot his way into the end zone...before he shot himself...the line in the original script was, "I'm going to Disney World!" Needless to say Warner Brothers and Geffen insisted that that line be rewritten to what is on screen in the final cut sooner than fast.
This thread is my favorite comment section of all time for the simple fact that all the things I was going to bring up in mine, you not only beat me to the punch and already did, but everything you did bring up were all on point and accurate. Which is so gratifying and really refreshing. I remember when this came out, saw it opening night with my buddy who had converted his garage into a Bruce Willis shrine of posters and black n white movie stills. He called it his Fortress Of BruceAtude. But, we were aware of Shane Black big time and the fact Bruce would be saying Shane's snarky penned words seemed like a summit meeting treaty between these two super powers of cinema at the height of their powers. Going in that hyped up for a movie and then still having it exceed our expectations, all our senses and preconceived notions blown out the water right at the jump just from that opening football scene with Billy. Black wrote a purposefully over the top almost Kabuki-esque, borderline camp, grand opera level, attention grabber of a prologue meant to be an over-stylized heightened reality big 80's action opening even though it was '91 and the high hair, high hopes era party was over, the hangover that is Boy Scout is like waking up after a lost weekend bender and still punch drunk. You know what's coming and the inevitability of it all, but you somehow got a reprieve from the gods, a stay of execution before eventually the reaper, angel of death, Lucifer, Final Destination, The Furies, something's ultimately playing the long game and gonna catch up to your ass, wiping the books clean. But, by the grace of God and skin of your teeth, you got a grace period and extra set of downs before you take a knee to run out the clock. You get one more gift. Life is about those precious few moments of stolen joys. The last Boy Scout is that last 80's movie that arrived two years too late and when it was out of style and a craze released passed its time. All the reasons we loved it then and savored it in real time during its theatrical run all the more so for existing in the first place against long odds and even shorter attention spans and muscle memories for movie history. We came out of the theatre feeling slightly punch drunk from the neo-noir theme park ride that was the unholy collaboration of Scott, Black and real life Hollywood caricature coke-whore super-producer Joel Silver who never met a runaway troubled production he couldn't super-size and level up way worse ten-fold or creative differences he mastered the art of problem solving by invoking his signature move of doing even more rails of blow off his personal assistant's ass that just happened to be a helper monkey on loan from Universal. The magic of cinema, baby! I digress. If you ever read the original Lethal Weapon screenplay, there's a cut scene from the finished film in the script where Roger Murtaugh leans over to his sleeping daughter to kiss her on the head goodnight, but after he does, she sleep-moans her boyfriends name and, as Shane writes in the text, that was the exact moment Roger realized his baby girl was no longer a virgin. It was always a nice throw away moment for the character I liked and found memorable despite it never being filmed. So, it really made me go into a movie nerd fan frenzy back in '91 opening nite when watching Last Boy Scout and this moment was lifted wholesale from the Lethal script, repurposed for the Bruce character in this one with the exact same darkly hilarious payoff of our bad ass co-hero protagonist being just another horrified father. Everybody knows the Shane Black Christmas connectivity of all his movies and recurring theme of two seemingly irredeemable lost souls from opposite ends of a spectrum don't so much cross paths as head on a collision course toward the other and smash on impact. But, from that initial wreckage comes the most hard fought unlikeliest alliance of two souls shared by one locked in mutual madness that forge their own path in a world full of rocky roads, off the beaten path, with no direction but go, with no road to riches or easy street, but plenty of blind alleys and dead-ends, theirs is a journey where the high road's never taken, gettin' the hell outta Dodge like a bat outta hell, wind up just spinning your wheels, every time you wind up going round the bend, you always just end up right back where you start, that's when you start to go and think outside the box, try and reinvent the wheel, but did you trade your mobius strip for a hamster wheel, just another cog in the machine, is this the cycle of life, just a series of wrap arounds, u-turns and double-backs, detours morph into wrong way turns, and manifest destinies all a fate worse than death, lives blow past the points of no return, the open road to the great beyond, is really a vanishing point to the Blvd of broken dreams our last stop, memory lane is just a dead end street, the scenic route set to random shuffle, but stuck on repeat, this slow motion car crash happening at the speed of hell, this reality show I call life feels like a crime scene that's been staged, every Live event we have feels choreographed and rehearsed, anything new with a modern twist sounds like a broken record memory box on its last leg nostalgia tour, but if history repeats itself and life imitates art, then this is a ring of fire and we're in the circle of Hell, we're all circling the drain yet out the loop, the circle of life, yeah, it's just a vicious cycle, destination: unknown, going nowhere, but making good time, getting their fast, it's a full time job now just to look half past dead. Where was I going with all this I don't know. I'm hopped up on NyQuil and antibiotics, peeling this onion all the way down to the dark side of the moon, doggy. Ahhh yeeea.
Bruce Willis's daughter in this movie is Danielle Harris -- you've seen her as Jamie in Halloween 4 and 5, the little girl who's the niece of Michael Myers. She's a great actress and also plays Annie in Rob Zombie's Halloween 1 and 2
A much better movie than Die Hard, it deserves 6 sequels, I'm madder about Die Hard getting sequels instead of this than anything else in movie history
@@MrChumpus no but I’ve seen his other films and well their hilarious. Like king of the kickboxers. But yeah I remember my mom had those dvd sets. All I remember is that smile staring at me when I’d pull out another dvd from the shelf.
17:21 - The elder gentleman in this scene here, he was in a really, really good Sci-Fi thriller/crime film from the 80s called, "The Hidden". I highly recommend you two react to that one. Amazing movie!
Taylor Negron was in alot of films in the 80s and 90s like How To Get Into College, Young Doctors In Love, Bad Medicine and others. Rest In Paradise Taylor Negron 🕯️🙏🏽🕯️
@@dansievers7336 the tough guy who got his nose sent up into his brain when Bruce Willis punched him played a weak sniveling character in The Island in 2005 with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansen.
The late, great Tony Scott at the helm. Shane Black as the hottest screenwriter on the scene at the time. A buddy action flick that could stand Toe to Toe with the other classics. Willis is perfectly casted (a hero despite himself) and a private investigation business was one of his first jobs, pre-acting. Wayans doing his first blockbuster feature after 'In Living Colour' fame. Halle Berry after her debut in Jungle Fever, same year. Martial Arts legend Billy Blanks (football player Billy Cole) in his film debut and in the most unexpected moment of the film. The one-liners are undenialble. Action scenes are off the charts. Willis & Wayans were an unlikely pair (it still worked). It's all over the place with enough time to keep up with it. Btw, Lethal Weapon was playing on the tv that Joe's daughter was watching. Keep the 'Tony Scott and Bruce Willis' love going.
As much as l love Die Hard, there are many aspects of this that I enjoy even better. I love the chemistry between Willis and Wayans, and the witty dialogue, and the fact that the villains are in positions of power. Seriously, how often do you have a Corrupt Senator and a pro football team owner with henchmen, as the baddies:) love it:)
Another Shane Black Schmitt night! Woo-HOO! Thanks for pushing ahead without the monetisation, guys. We all love ya's. 🤘 Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang was Shane Black's return after a 10+ year hiatus with his family. His work does go from dark to lighter based on that gap. Plus, he directed Kiss, Bang. Tony Scott's movies are shot a lot different. Watch Beverly Hills Cop 1&2. Scott directed the sequel and you can really tell. Oh yeah, and that was Lethal Weapon on the TV. 😊
#2? You really, really need to watch Looper, The Sixth Sense and 12 Monkeys then, I reckon. Death Becomes Her, Pulp Fiction and Sin City too, though he isn't the only main Protaginist in those, to be fair. Then there's Unbreakable, The Fifth Element, The Kid.... I mean, as good as this movie is, can one really put it above all of these other amazing works?
Yeah, this one is the true "Die hard 3" in my book. The actual "Die hard with a vengeance" was such a huge letdown after the first two masterpieces, but "The last boyscout" delivered on all fronts, and then some.
TBR& Sam This was a great reaction and comments from you both and I enjoyed this very much. The Last Boy Scout is a favorite movie of mine and I Love this here . Thank you both so much for this
You guys are amazing.I've been looking for good reactions to this movie and 6 days, 7 nights and you guys seem to deliver without me even making a direct request. That's awesome.
I almost consider this another Die Hard film. He’s basically just a really disheveled John McClane. Similar to how he was in Die Hard with a Vengeance. Either way, I really like this movie.
2:52 - Did you know the football player (Billy Cole) in this scene is the famous martial artist, Billy Blanks, who created the famous exercise video series, "Tai Bo"? LBMO! They make a hilarious nod to Tai Bo in a very funny movie called "Bringing Down The House", starring Queen Latifah, Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and Betty White.
One of the funniest action comedy movies ever made, but there were a lot of production issues as no one, not one single person liked each other onset. Shane Black hated the final cut of the movie, as it removed a lot of action scenes that were filmed but cut, Damon Wayans liked ghe script, but didn't like Bruce Willis' attitude towards him, Joel Silver and Tony Scott almost got into a fistfight onset, there were even reports that they got into a shouting match with each other. It was a crazy stressful shoot from start to finish.
I miss your reaction videos but since they started being copyrighted I can't watch them because I download stuff onto a memory stick to watch later on my TV. I'd love to have seen your reaction to this one.
Another movie you might like is "Running Scared" from 1986, buddy cop film staring Billy Crystal, Gregory Hines, Jimmy Smits and Joe Pantoliano, classic 80s action/comedy movie.
Hell yes. Fantastic movie!! Slightly different but also recommended: The In-Laws with Peter Falk (Grandfather in Princess Bride) and Alan Arkin And, of course, I always have put in a plug for Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood
If you can believe, the original script was actually darker. The entire production was chaotic. Bruce Willis and producer Joel Silver practically took over the film, and basically strong armed director Tony Scott into following their vision, which was very different from Shane Black’s original script. In addition to Willis clashing with Silver (both had massive egos). And Willis and Damon Wayans absolutely hated each other. This was very early in Halle Berry’s career. A month prior, she was in “Strictly Business.” Eddie Griffin & Morris Chestnut also appeared in the film. Taylor Negron, a hilarious stand up comedian, was absolutely chilling as Milo. The only person who got positive reviews. Fun fact: the character Lee Donowitz in Tony Scott’s “True Romance” was based on Joel Silver (the producer of TLBS). Tony described making the film as having “too many cooks.” Still love the film to this day.
Only halfway into the video, in case y'all call it out later, the bad guy is "Nacho Butt" from Angels in the Outfield🤣🤣 Taylor Negron was a really great actor who never got his due but was great in the handful of films I've seen with him in..
OMG! Finally! I have spent years trying to remember what movie that opening scene, the football player with a gun, was from! haha great reaction as always guys!
Damon Wayans, (the black actor) is the older brother of Shawn & Marlon Wayans (scary movie 1, 2, white chicks). They’re the legendary ‘Wayans family’ who got their start in the tv show ‘ In Living Color’. Keenan Ivory Wayans, Kim Wayans are their older siblings and actors also. They’re a pretty huge family.
G'day guys! I love this film! It was the first time I saw Bruce Willis after Moonlighting ended. I was so blown away by the facts behind the NFL and the injury/drug use laws. One of Tony Scott and Bruce's greats. And the best Daymon Wayons I've ever seen. Great reaction from both of you. Jon from Aus
This was Halle Berry’s film debut. If you guys need new recommendations, here’s some solid Halle Berry films to react to: Gothicka, Losing Isaiah (truly heartbreaking movie), Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, Monster’s Ball (role she won her Oscar), Perfect Stranger, Things We Lost in the Fire, Frankie and Alice, Cloud Atlas, The Call, Kidnap, Swordfish, BAPS, Bruised and Movie 43.
People really make themselves look stupid when they write things they know nothing about. Her first film was Jungle Fever where her and Sam Jackson played crack heads.
@@tbrrrdmn these movies came out the same year, so this along with Jungle Fever and Strictly Business coming out months apart, it’s an easy mistake. No need to say “wrong”. You could’ve just said it was Jungle Fever.
Director Tony Scott (RIP) said this was the WORST experience he had in his filmmaking career. There were many fights on set between Tony, producer Joel silver, and Bruce & Damon (who hated each other btw)
@@willthorburn1985 Same happened on the Lethal Weapon tv series, Damon Wayans & Clayne Crawford had great onscreen chemistry but behind the scenes, it was all out war, one of the most extreme examples of two co-stars hating each other.
This is so underrated. Love this movie. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans killed it the dude who got his nose punched to his brain is Tig from sons of anarchy and the player who killed himself in the beginning is Billy blanks the tibo guy. Plus Danielle Harris and halle berry How can you not love this!
So excited to see your reaction to this movie. I loved this film back in the day! When I was young and a smoker, I tried to keep up with the amount of cigarettes Bruce smoked in this movie. I could not do it..
The movie that was playing when they meet up with the daughter looked like "Lethal Weapon" from what I could tell, as I haven't seen this movie all the way through in a long time. But many of the scenes are for sure a part of my long term memory, this was such an amazing movie that was for sure underrated at the time. But it's a fan favorite now for sure, and yeah this was one of Halle Berry's earliest films, as she had tons of smaller roles earlier on here and there.
It was most definitely Lethal Weapon, another movie written by Shane Black! It was the part where Riggs (Mel Gibson) is being tortured by Endo (Al Leong) with the electric shocks.
@@Turnabouta handful of the crew from Lethal Weapon reunited on this film: writer Shane Black, producer Joel Silver, composer Michael Kamen, and editor Stuart Baird.
Small tip: When someone knows a scene or some other piece of information, but can't quite remember what it's from, it's so much more satisfying if someone gives them a clue and they figure it out for themselves rather than just having someone blurt out the answer.
The shot where the mansion explodes in the distance at the end of the film was reused for The Last Action Hero when the glass eye blows up Jack Slater’s ex-wife’s house. I read an autobiography of Tony Scott called “Tony Scott: A Filmmaker on Fire” a few years back which described Scott’s experience working with both Bruce Willis and producer Joel Silver as a living hell for everyone due to clashing egos. Joel Silver was so egotistical that as a joke in Scott’s next film True Romance, he had character of character of movie producer Lee Donowitz played by Saul Rubinek because of his appearance and personality resembling Silver.
I absolutely loved that movie as a kid. I remember it was on TV one day, and the next day our literature teacher started ranting about how disrespectful the daughter from LB was. It turned out most kids have seen it too and it sparkled a long discussion about parent-children relationship. One of the most interesting classes that year, lol.
18:50 The daughter is watching the original "Lethal Weapon" movie, both it and "The Last Boy Scout" were written by Shane Black (who also wrote and directed "The Nice Guys", "Iron Man 3", and "The Predators" (he also played the character "Hawkins" in the original Predator film
Hadn't thought about this movie in a while. I had it on VHS when I was a kid and watched it over and over, but never watched it again after my VHS player died. Thanks for the memories!
28:36 - CARPOOLING - This actor is also the main protagonist's father in the movie 'Scream', and the workman who disconnects the electricity supply to 'Nakatomi Plaza, in the movie, 'Die Hard'.
Its a shame we didn’t get a sequel. Apparently producer Joel Silver, Bruce Willis and Tony Scott clashed and didn’t get along. A troubled production. No thats not James Gandolfini. Billy Cole is Billy Blanks, a 90s action star with a martial arts background.
Shane Black who wrote this film, the Long Kiss Goodnight, and Lethal Weapon has many of his films reference Christmas or set around that time, he also played Hawkins in Predator, a role they tossed him after he did some rewrites on location.
YES loved this movie. sorry to hear about the copyright claim. i hate when they did that to me too. so i muted the video because of the original music. i hate having to re edit a video over some copyright claim. why did Mr. milo cross the road? Still one of my favorite lines in this movie.

Did you catch the final line? "Be prepared son. that's my motto." The Boy Scout motto is, "Be Prepared".
Good catch!
I figured that would be in this movie.
Even as an kid watching this with my dad, I was a boy scout and I loved hearing that.
This movie is so much fun. It seems to be overlooked when talking about great action movies of the era. It's a favorite.
Overlooked is very correct. How you seen 21-Bridges ??? Starring Chadwick Boseman,I watch every 3 months or so. Good flic.
One of the best action movies of all time. So underrated.
Yeah, Shane Black was on fire 🔥
Yeah, it only seemed to be a huge success in my native Sweden. We had a knack for finding overlooked gems in those days. "Darkman" is another example.

You know what's coming and the inevitability of it all, but you somehow got a reprieve from the gods, a stay of execution before eventually the reaper, angel of death, Lucifer, Final Destination, The Furies, something's ultimately playing the long game and gonna catch up to your ass, wiping the books clean. But, by the grace of God and skin of your teeth, you got a grace period and extra set of downs before you take a knee to run out the clock. You get one more gift. Life is about those precious few moments of stolen joys. The last Boy Scout is that last 80's movie that arrived two years too late and when it was out of style and a craze released passed its time. All the reasons we loved it then and savored it in real time during its theatrical run all the more so for existing in the first place against long odds and even shorter attention spans and muscle memories for movie history. We came out of the theatre feeling slightly punch drunk from the neo-noir theme park ride that was the unholy collaboration of Scott, Black and real life Hollywood caricature coke-whore super-producer Joel Silver who never met a runaway troubled production he couldn't super-size and level up way worse ten-fold or creative differences he mastered the art of problem solving by invoking his signature move of doing even more rails of blow off his personal assistant's ass that just happened to be a helper monkey on loan from Universal. The magic of cinema, baby!
I digress.
If you ever read the original Lethal Weapon screenplay, there's a cut scene from the finished film in the script where Roger Murtaugh leans over to his sleeping daughter to kiss her on the head goodnight, but after he does, she sleep-moans her boyfriends name and, as Shane writes in the text, that was the exact moment Roger realized his baby girl was no longer a virgin. It was always a nice throw away moment for the character I liked and found memorable despite it never being filmed. So, it really made me go into a movie nerd fan frenzy back in '91 opening nite when watching Last Boy Scout and this moment was lifted wholesale from the Lethal script, repurposed for the Bruce character in this one with the exact same darkly hilarious payoff of our bad ass co-hero protagonist being just another horrified father. Everybody knows the Shane Black Christmas connectivity of all his movies and recurring theme of two seemingly irredeemable lost souls from opposite ends of a spectrum don't so much cross paths as head on a collision course toward the other and smash on impact. But, from that initial wreckage comes the most hard fought unlikeliest alliance of two souls shared by one locked in mutual madness that forge their own path in a world full of rocky roads, off the beaten path, with no direction but go, with no road to riches or easy street, but plenty of blind alleys and dead-ends, theirs is a journey where the high road's never taken, gettin' the hell outta Dodge like a bat outta hell, wind up just spinning your wheels, every time you wind up going round the bend, you always just end up right back where you start, that's when you start to go and think outside the box, try and reinvent the wheel, but did you trade your mobius strip for a hamster wheel, just another cog in the machine, is this the cycle of life, just a series of wrap arounds, u-turns and double-backs, detours morph into wrong way turns, and manifest destinies all a fate worse than death, lives blow past the points of no return, the open road to the great beyond, is really a vanishing point to the Blvd of broken dreams our last stop, memory lane is just a dead end street, the scenic route set to random shuffle, but stuck on repeat, this slow motion car crash happening at the speed of hell, this reality show I call life feels like a crime scene that's been staged, every Live event we have feels choreographed and rehearsed, anything new with a modern twist sounds like a broken record memory box on its last leg nostalgia tour, but if history repeats itself and life imitates art, then this is a ring of fire and we're in the circle of Hell, we're all circling the drain yet out the loop, the circle of life, yeah, it's just a vicious cycle, destination: unknown, going nowhere, but making good time, getting their fast, it's a full time job now just to look half past dead. Where was I going with all this I don't know. I'm hopped up on NyQuil and antibiotics, peeling this onion all the way down to the dark side of the moon, doggy. Ahhh yeeea.
I’d never heard all of that but now that you mention it I could totally see this being changed just a little bit to be a Die Hard sequel.
The Scrabble guy whose partner blows up Halle Berry's car is the Dude's dancing landlord in Big Lebowski.
Bruce Willis's daughter in this movie is Danielle Harris -- you've seen her as Jamie in Halloween 4 and 5, the little girl who's the niece of Michael Myers. She's a great actress and also plays Annie in Rob Zombie's Halloween 1 and 2
Also, Melissa in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead! She’s got a year on me, I’ve had a crush on her since the late 80’s!
I remember when I saw her in the TV Series That's Life she looks sexy even a blue dress.
"Old Satan Claus, Jimmy, he's out there and he's just getting stronger."
IMO one of Bruce Willis' best movies.
Bruce was spitting facts. Always gotta be ready for Satan.
Such an underrated action/thriller. I remember hoping they'd do a sequel, but that never happened. :(
Considering the trouble everyone had working together, it's not really surprising.
And because of Bruce Willis' illness@@maingate7672
A much better movie than Die Hard, it deserves 6 sequels, I'm madder about Die Hard getting sequels instead of this than anything else in movie history
@@maingate7672 Who had trouble working together?
@@Jekyll_Island_CreaturesBruce Willis & Damon Wayans didn't get along and constantly fought on set.
CLASSIC!!! i remember when this came out in the theaters, after Halle did her dance, a friend of mine stood up & gave a standing ovation. LMAO
This movie is so underrated. One of the most entertaining scripts, especially the dialogue haha.
When Samantha said "a little loud" in the beginning I was thinking It's A Tony Scott film
Saw this in theatres back in the day. A time when you walked out of a movie talking about how much fun you had. Nothing like today...
This movie has one of the craziest unintentionally funny openings I have ever seen. Man I love seeing Billy Blanks in anything.
You got those tae bo infomercials on repeat?
@@MrChumpus no but I’ve seen his other films and well their hilarious. Like king of the kickboxers. But yeah I remember my mom had those dvd sets. All I remember is that smile staring at me when I’d pull out another dvd from the shelf.
Ain't life a bitch?
@@nightking0130 Lol. I just remember him from selling those tae bo tapes
17:21 - The elder gentleman in this scene here, he was in a really, really good Sci-Fi thriller/crime film from the 80s called, "The Hidden". I highly recommend you two react to that one. Amazing movie!
''..fast forward eats the tape...'' certainly dates this classic
Awesome movie!!!!! Another one that not many people react to!! You guys hit so many movies others dont do!
The guy with the tazer gun, Milo, was the mail man in Better Off Dead.
Taylor Negron was in alot of films in the 80s and 90s like How To Get Into College, Young Doctors In Love, Bad Medicine and others. Rest In Paradise Taylor Negron 🕯️🙏🏽🕯️
Pizza delivery guy in Fast Times and Ridgemont high, and nacho butt guy in Angels in the outfield come to mind. Haha very different in this movie.
@@dansievers7336 the tough guy who got his nose sent up into his brain when Bruce Willis punched him played a weak sniveling character in The Island in 2005 with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansen.
@@stevenorellano2039 Kim Coates been watching him since the 80s on films The Boy In Blue and TV like Miami Vice.
@@dansievers7336Yes. Then, he had a great 80's run of films.
The late, great Tony Scott at the helm.
Shane Black as the hottest screenwriter on the scene at the time.
A buddy action flick that could stand Toe to Toe with the other classics.
Willis is perfectly casted (a hero despite himself) and a private investigation business
was one of his first jobs, pre-acting.
Wayans doing his first blockbuster feature after 'In Living Colour' fame.
Halle Berry after her debut in Jungle Fever, same year.
Martial Arts legend Billy Blanks (football player Billy Cole) in his film debut and
in the most unexpected moment of the film.
The one-liners are undenialble.
Action scenes are off the charts.
Willis & Wayans were an unlikely pair (it still worked).
It's all over the place with enough time to keep up with it.
Btw, Lethal Weapon was playing on the tv
that Joe's daughter was watching.
Keep the 'Tony Scott and Bruce Willis' love going.
I don't think anyone has ever done action comedy as well as Shane Black. Dude almost never misses.
The movie that Darien was watching was Lethal Weapon. Perfect movie to throw into this one since this had such Lethal Weapon vibes.
As much as l love Die Hard, there are many aspects of this that I enjoy even better. I love the chemistry between Willis and Wayans, and the witty dialogue, and the fact that the villains are in positions of power. Seriously, how often do you have a Corrupt Senator and a pro football team owner with henchmen, as the baddies:) love it:)
I love this movie. You guys were like "wtf?" So many times 😂. Good reaction.
Another Shane Black Schmitt night! Woo-HOO! Thanks for pushing ahead without the monetisation, guys. We all love ya's. 🤘
Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang was Shane Black's return after a 10+ year hiatus with his family. His work does go from dark to lighter based on that gap. Plus, he directed Kiss, Bang. Tony Scott's movies are shot a lot different. Watch Beverly Hills Cop 1&2. Scott directed the sequel and you can really tell.
Oh yeah, and that was Lethal Weapon on the TV. 😊
This is one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies!
This and Hudson Hawk are the deep cut pearls of his career.
another good movie thats co-written by shane black is the monster squad, its an all time favorite of mine
ABOUT DAMN TIME SOMEONE REACTED TO THIS MOVIE!!!
Honestly, this movie is #2 in the Bruce Willis canon in my opinion, only surpassed by Die Hard.
You must haven't seen other reactors who already had done reactions to this film.
#2? You really, really need to watch Looper, The Sixth Sense and 12 Monkeys then, I reckon. Death Becomes Her, Pulp Fiction and Sin City too, though he isn't the only main Protaginist in those, to be fair. Then there's Unbreakable, The Fifth Element, The Kid.... I mean, as good as this movie is, can one really put it above all of these other amazing works?
Yeah, this one is the true "Die hard 3" in my book. The actual "Die hard with a vengeance" was such a huge letdown after the first two masterpieces, but "The last boyscout" delivered on all fronts, and then some.
@@ZavaXavier very few
@@cristonsloan key words: "my opinion"
This movie is so cool, the one-liners are so funny and perfect looll. 🤣 Great actors, great action, yessss
Greetings from Germany my friends^^ 🥰👍
Nice to meet another one from Germany Here! Liebe Grüße
Greetings from Switzerland ;-)
TBR& Sam This was a great reaction and comments from you both and I enjoyed this very much. The Last Boy Scout is a favorite movie of mine and I Love this here . Thank you both so much for this
I had forgotten how much fun this movie was.
You guys are amazing.I've been looking for good reactions to this movie and 6 days, 7 nights and you guys seem to deliver without me even making a direct request. That's awesome.
51:28 😅 thats Tigg from SOA!!
I give that “pep talk” every morning to myself in the bathroom mirror LOL
I almost consider this another Die Hard film. He’s basically just a really disheveled John McClane. Similar to how he was in Die Hard with a Vengeance. Either way, I really like this movie.
Another underrated and hilarious Damon Wayans movie is *Bulletproof* with Adam Sandler. 😂😂
"You can tell this is a 70s porno, because the guy's dick has sideburns."
This movie is fun and underrated
2:52 - Did you know the football player (Billy Cole) in this scene is the famous martial artist, Billy Blanks, who created the famous exercise video series, "Tai Bo"? LBMO! They make a hilarious nod to Tai Bo in a very funny movie called "Bringing Down The House", starring Queen Latifah, Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and Betty White.
Finally, someone reacts to this movie.
Other reactors have already done a reaction before them.
@@ZavaXavier, No real popular ones though, AFAIK.
Cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both take care and have a good night
One of the funniest action comedy movies ever made, but there were a lot of production issues as no one, not one single person liked each other onset. Shane Black hated the final cut of the movie, as it removed a lot of action scenes that were filmed but cut, Damon Wayans liked ghe script, but didn't like Bruce Willis' attitude towards him, Joel Silver and Tony Scott almost got into a fistfight onset, there were even reports that they got into a shouting match with each other. It was a crazy stressful shoot from start to finish.
I miss your reaction videos but since they started being copyrighted I can't watch them because I download stuff onto a memory stick to watch later on my TV. I'd love to have seen your reaction to this one.
One of my favorite movies growing up as a kid. Super underrated! Always love to watch your channel.
Another movie you might like is "Running Scared" from 1986, buddy cop film staring Billy Crystal, Gregory Hines, Jimmy Smits and Joe Pantoliano, classic 80s action/comedy movie.
Hell yes. Fantastic movie!!
Slightly different but also recommended: The In-Laws with Peter Falk (Grandfather in Princess Bride) and Alan Arkin
And, of course, I always have put in a plug for Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood
My number one buddy cop movie. No doubt.
If you can believe, the original script was actually darker. The entire production was chaotic. Bruce Willis and producer Joel Silver practically took over the film, and basically strong armed director Tony Scott into following their vision, which was very different from Shane Black’s original script. In addition to Willis clashing with Silver (both had massive egos). And Willis and Damon Wayans absolutely hated each other.
This was very early in Halle Berry’s career. A month prior, she was in “Strictly Business.” Eddie Griffin & Morris Chestnut also appeared in the film.
Taylor Negron, a hilarious stand up comedian, was absolutely chilling as Milo. The only person who got positive reviews.
Fun fact: the character Lee Donowitz in Tony Scott’s “True Romance” was based on Joel Silver (the producer of TLBS). Tony described making the film as having “too many cooks.” Still love the film to this day.
Good point on Lee Donowitz. All True Romance fans had to know that was a thinly veiled take on Joel Silver.
The movie the girl is watching is Lethal Weapon, written by Shane Black
The KING and QUEEN of movies!!!❤
Only halfway into the video, in case y'all call it out later, the bad guy is "Nacho Butt" from Angels in the Outfield🤣🤣 Taylor Negron was a really great actor who never got his due but was great in the handful of films I've seen with him in..
OMG! Finally! I have spent years trying to remember what movie that opening scene, the football player with a gun, was from! haha
great reaction as always guys!
I’ve always loved this little gem, though it gets little recognition. Thanks for doing it; I think you’re first.
Damon Wayans, (the black actor) is the older brother of Shawn & Marlon Wayans (scary movie 1, 2, white chicks). They’re the legendary ‘Wayans family’ who got their start in the tv show ‘ In Living Color’. Keenan Ivory Wayans, Kim Wayans are their older siblings and actors also. They’re a pretty huge family.
This is a top 5 movie all time for me personally, most underrated movie ever. Its so bonkers entertaining from start to finish
This movie has the greatest ever one liners and snappy dialogue ever.
She was watching Lethal Weapon.
One of my fave Bruce Willis films
Thanks for reacting to this. One of my favorite movies. Very Underrated!
I don't know if it's been mentioned. But the movie in the background that Darian was watching is Lethal Weapon.
FYI, Mike (his friend who got blown up) was played by the same actor (Bruce McGill) who played mayor in the first season of Reacher.
And d day from animal house
@@Qochoc McGill was also a reoccurring character on the original MacGyver TV series.
G'day guys! I love this film! It was the first time I saw Bruce Willis after Moonlighting ended. I was so blown away by the facts behind the NFL and the injury/drug use laws. One of Tony Scott and Bruce's greats. And the best Daymon Wayons I've ever seen. Great reaction from both of you. Jon from Aus
I swear down if I survive this reaction I'm gonna dance a jig 😂
This was Halle Berry’s film debut. If you guys need new recommendations, here’s some solid Halle Berry films to react to: Gothicka, Losing Isaiah (truly heartbreaking movie), Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, Monster’s Ball (role she won her Oscar), Perfect Stranger, Things We Lost in the Fire, Frankie and Alice, Cloud Atlas, The Call, Kidnap, Swordfish, BAPS, Bruised and Movie 43.
Wrong. She played a crackhead in Jungle Fever.
People really make themselves look stupid when they write things they know nothing about. Her first film was Jungle Fever where her and Sam Jackson played crack heads.
@@tbrrrdmn these movies came out the same year, so this along with Jungle Fever and Strictly Business coming out months apart, it’s an easy mistake. No need to say “wrong”. You could’ve just said it was Jungle Fever.
YO.
EXECUTIVE DECISION was her big leading role.
Best movie Steven Seagal movie ever!
'BULWORTH' ( 1998 ) Great to watch in an election year !!!
The movie that the daughter was watching was Lethal Weapon which was also written by Shane Black
Director Tony Scott (RIP) said this was the WORST experience he had in his filmmaking career. There were many fights on set between Tony, producer Joel silver, and Bruce & Damon (who hated each other btw)
You wouldn't know it based on the chemistry on-screen with Damon Wayans and Bruce Willis
@@willthorburn1985 Same happened on the Lethal Weapon tv series, Damon Wayans & Clayne Crawford had great onscreen chemistry but behind the scenes, it was all out war, one of the most extreme examples of two co-stars hating each other.
@VonPunk call me nuts, but the common denominator seems to be Damon
I remember hearing about that years later.
On set fights between cast and crew.
That's crazy.
@@HABO2210 Damon is notorious for being a diva.
This is so underrated. Love this movie. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans killed it
the dude who got his nose punched to his brain is Tig from sons of anarchy and the player who killed himself in the beginning is Billy blanks the tibo guy. Plus Danielle Harris and halle berry
How can you not love this!
Finally you guys got to this awesome film. Absolutely love this film, it’s not the greatest film but it’s such a fun time.
I’ve loved this movie for years and always wanted a sequel.
So excited to see your reaction to this movie. I loved this film back in the day! When I was young and a smoker, I tried to keep up with the amount of cigarettes Bruce smoked in this movie. I could not do it..
You two are so awesome. Rewatching these through your eyes is so much fun.
The movie that was playing when they meet up with the daughter looked like "Lethal Weapon" from what I could tell, as I haven't seen this movie all the way through in a long time. But many of the scenes are for sure a part of my long term memory, this was such an amazing movie that was for sure underrated at the time. But it's a fan favorite now for sure, and yeah this was one of Halle Berry's earliest films, as she had tons of smaller roles earlier on here and there.
It was most definitely Lethal Weapon, another movie written by Shane Black! It was the part where Riggs (Mel Gibson) is being tortured by Endo (Al Leong) with the electric shocks.
@@Turnabouta handful of the crew from Lethal Weapon reunited on this film: writer Shane Black, producer Joel Silver, composer Michael Kamen, and editor Stuart Baird.
Small tip: When someone knows a scene or some other piece of information, but can't quite remember what it's from, it's so much more satisfying if someone gives them a clue and they figure it out for themselves rather than just having someone blurt out the answer.
at 18:32 that is LETHAL WEAPON, written by (drumm roll) Shane Black. ;)
The shot where the mansion explodes in the distance at the end of the film was reused for The Last Action Hero when the glass eye blows up Jack Slater’s ex-wife’s house.
I read an autobiography of Tony Scott called “Tony Scott: A Filmmaker on Fire” a few years back which described Scott’s experience working with both Bruce Willis and producer Joel Silver as a living hell for everyone due to clashing egos. Joel Silver was so egotistical that as a joke in Scott’s next film True Romance, he had character of character of movie producer Lee Donowitz played by Saul Rubinek because of his appearance and personality resembling Silver.
that movie is actually called "Last Action Hero" , there is no THE......
For a dancer he's one hell of a detective.
Always lived that line, lol
Great reaction! One of my old favorite movies. I still shuckle whenever I think about "We're getting beat up by the inventors of scrabble" :'D
I’m so glad this film holds up. It’s one of my favourites.
The movie you were trying to figure out was "Lethal Weapon". Another great movie in the late 80's.
My favourite Bruce Willis film i lost count how many times i rewatched it
I absolutely loved that movie as a kid. I remember it was on TV one day, and the next day our literature teacher started ranting about how disrespectful the daughter from LB was. It turned out most kids have seen it too and it sparkled a long discussion about parent-children relationship. One of the most interesting classes that year, lol.
Billy Cole was none other than Mr. Tae Bo himself, Billy Blanks.
I was just thinking about this movie earlier, watched this with my brother and dad, grew up on all the great 80s and 90s stuff
This is a superhero movie. Bruce’s powers were dark humor, a complete indifference to his own well being and anger.
Daughter was watching "Lethal weapon".
Oh! Bruce Willis’s reaction to the Prince impression is great! He’s got a big smile!
18:50 The daughter is watching the original "Lethal Weapon" movie, both it and "The Last Boy Scout" were written by Shane Black (who also wrote and directed "The Nice Guys", "Iron Man 3", and "The Predators" (he also played the character "Hawkins" in the original Predator film
Monetized or not, great reaction. You guys are the best.
Thanks Guys! Hope your daughter is well! This was really good! Be good and thanks again!
Hadn't thought about this movie in a while. I had it on VHS when I was a kid and watched it over and over, but never watched it again after my VHS player died. Thanks for the memories!
28:36 - CARPOOLING - This actor is also the main protagonist's father in the movie 'Scream', and the workman who disconnects the electricity supply to 'Nakatomi Plaza, in the movie, 'Die Hard'.
Its a shame we didn’t get a sequel. Apparently producer Joel Silver, Bruce Willis and Tony Scott clashed and didn’t get along. A troubled production.
No thats not James Gandolfini.
Billy Cole is Billy Blanks, a 90s action star with a martial arts background.
That was James Gandolfini, I'm seeing it on his filmography right now.
@@michaeljames6817 looks nothing like him
One of the most underrated films ever. Terrific movie in my opinion. Really enjoyed Bruce Willis and Damon Wayons in this great action movie
theyre watching Lethal Weapon it sounded like Riggs getting shocked 18:38 and at 19:11 he was choking the guy with his legs :) i got good ears
Another fantastic Bruce Willis movie, if you guys havnt seen it, is "The Fifth Element"
The movie in the background is Lethal Weapon, also written by Shane Black.
Shane Black who wrote this film, the Long Kiss Goodnight, and Lethal Weapon has many of his films reference Christmas or set around that time, he also played Hawkins in Predator, a role they tossed him after he did some rewrites on location.
YES loved this movie. sorry to hear about the copyright claim. i hate when they did that to me too. so i muted the video because of the original music. i hate having to re edit a video over some copyright claim. why did Mr. milo cross the road? Still one of my favorite lines in this movie.
