There's something compelling about a story where a person whose life has just fallen apart, (losing his wife to an affair), who gets pulled into circumstances beyond their control, where their once seemingly controlled life is now replace by an unexpected series of twists and turn, with each successive event more incredible than the last. Like a leaf being taken downstream to parts unknown, and we're just along for the ride. Maybe it's a fantasy many of us who live a dull uneventful life wish for; hoping that fate would deliver something exciting and unexpected upon us.
I may have seen 'Into The Night' more times than any of his movies. I just loved the idea of this lost and weary insomniac, drifting, spiralling, into the night.
Goldblum played this part at just the right moment in his career. His naivete made this movie every man's potential experience. He didn't overact. He didn't act worldly or experienced. He was not in control. He was not slick. He was just a regular guy caught up in forces beyond his control. _Into the Night_ is my favorite Jeff Goldblum movie.
Who wouldn't want a random night of danger and adventure with Michelle Pfeiffer. Hadn't realised what a great character Jeff Goldblum is. What an awesome guy.
I would totally pay to see a sequel to "Into the Night." And he shouldn't be so down on his performance in this movie, he was perfect, he was our guide through the nighttime underworld of Los Angeles, a blank canvas all the lunatics painted on.
I would pay good money to sit for a few hours and listen to the entire cast talk about the making of that film! I love Jeff Goldblum more and more! He went from the nerdy Mother, Jugs and Speed ...to the ever longing and LONG SUFFERING dork in The Big Chill...to the sexy doctor in Jurassic Park. Whatever he thinks about his performance and his experience, or lack thereof, in this film, I thought he was fantastic and that it was brilliant casting!
He's right with everything that he says about it, but I don't know if he would have been better in the role as a more seasoned actor. Sometimes his responses seem muted like he's not really present, but that fits perfectly to the state that his character is in. It also allows the other performances to shine even more.
Jeff Goldblum is one of the most intelligent and talented actors of the past 40 years. If my TH-cam alias is any indication, I am a massive fan of this film and this character. While I think that Mr. Goldblum’s Kennedy v. Reagan dichotomy is a bit overboard, I appreciate his observations. Can’t we all identify in some aspects of Ed Okin’s dissatisfaction with his job, his marriage and where his life is going. Because my dad had a 59-year aerospace career, I do somewhat see some of him in the character. I love how Ed’s confidence, courage, and “I don’t give a f@?k attitude increases as the film progresses. Mr. Goldblum’s praise of Michelle Pfeiffer is classy and gentlemanly.
And if I was in a movie with him I would forget my lines and could not stop starting a him because he had a charmed about him that he has a spark in his eyes
Robert Mitchum also referred to the lines in a movie script as the 'jokes'. He was being interviewed by Dick Cavett and while discussing his profession, Mitchum said, "Not much to it. You show up, read the jokes, and go home."
Was that a musical scene with BB King, Steve Martin, Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy, Michelle Pfeifer & Jeff Goldblum together? Holy cow, the A-List vibes were off the charts!
The "music video" was an extra on the original VHS, DVD & BLU-RAY. It was recorded with studio session players, WAY BEFORE the actors were gathered together on the set/stage to mimic instrument playing. The only musician that was "really" in that music video, was B.B. King himself...and EVEN HE...was lip syncing/guitar syncing his parts. Sorry to bust the bubble... BCRadio
@@Ed_Okin Well, Ed, if that's your real name, you're really very good. I'm surprised we haven't met before..... I was a projectionist for about 25 years, and I ran this picture. To this day I occasionally watch that scene again. The trailer had a second of black film with that white cursive that said, "Ed Okin Can't Sleep" I cut one of the frames out and Scotch taped it to the work light above the bench in my booth. For years, every time I looked up and saw that it made me smile. I've been out of the biz for over 20 years now, but I still have that frame in a box of memorabilia. Another favorite moment for me is the FBI agent stuffing about 20 grand in his suit jacket pockets saying, "Who're you gonna tell?"
With all due respect to Chinatown, LA Confidential and even Training Day this is my favorite movie about Los Angeles...if you want to know what Westwood, Beverly Hill and Century City were like in the mid-80's...this is it.
I was a cop on his film auggie rose The police station He was excited about a book and the director wanted him to focus It was no problem he just said oh yeah? Pointing his finger Watch this... watch this
First time I Saw this movie in MGM classi movies channel in 2007 and I love the scene when the girl in movie meets old customer or boy friend whatever, and gives her a two classic super cars to escape with her friend
I would love a sequel. Dont know if it would top the original especially without some of the originals passed on including Bb king on the music. But it could work with jeff,michelle and john landis. And ira newborn on the score.
Great film. Especially love the 4 Iranian maniacs chasing Goldblum and Pfeiffer through Los Angeles, causing mayhem wherever they go and constantly arguing with each other. Another movie the critics didn’t like so you know it’s bound to be great……
The late great Stephen J Cannel gave Goldblum his first big break starring opposite Ben Verene in the short lived action comedy Tenspeed & Brown Shoe. It wasn't until six years later, though, with The Fly that I think, Jeff became a star. Into the Night was his first starring role in a film and I always likened it to the LA verison of After Hours (only not as good really). I think it was the absolute worst film John Landis could have chosen as a follow up to Trading Places. However, with The Twilight Zone court case looming over his head, he might of wanted to do a small movie to keep himself busy. Into the Night has it moments and the casting is spot on, but the script just doesn't work. I know the film has a cult following, but...
I love the movie, but don't waste your time with this video. Dumb interview - bad sound and waste of time with Jeff rambling on. I like Goldblum's film characters. This shows he's just playing himself. He could've saved money and skipped Meisner's acting school. Probably all his students could have.
Underrated film, I love it.
One of the most underrated films. Great story, very real despite all the fiction, good humor and a stimulus to think about your own life.

I LOVE this movie since it came out because of the great story, the actors and the directing from John Landis!
This is one of my favorite movies ever.
I love this film. I do since I saw it in the theater in 1985.
I may have seen 'Into The Night' more times than any of his movies. I just loved the idea of this lost and weary insomniac, drifting, spiralling, into the night.
...and the scrapes he gets into are totally believable in LA!
@@KutWrite I want to visit LA. My hero, of 30 years, is Charles Bukowski.

Thanks Jeff. Loved the movie when it came out, it's making me feel very nestalgic. Great actors.
Love him in this film, "The Tall Guy" and "The Favour, The Watch and The Very Big Fish". Also - I could listen to Goldblum discuss film for hours.
A sequel would be awesome
Who wouldn't want a random night of danger and adventure with Michelle Pfeiffer. Hadn't realised what a great character Jeff Goldblum is. What an awesome guy.
My favorite Jon Landis Movie ;-)
Great Interview for a Great Movie 💯 / Jeff Goldblum - Into The Night 💯
I would totally pay to see a sequel to "Into the Night." And he shouldn't be so down on his performance in this movie, he was perfect, he was our guide through the nighttime underworld of Los Angeles, a blank canvas all the lunatics painted on.
Same

Madcap film noir. We need more of these. Hey, it could happen
I think he's still in that room, talking.
Ha! Nice
😀
And I think you NEED counseling
Crap film goldblum is stiff dumb cameos from directors pointless landis is a murderer
He's right with everything that he says about it, but I don't know if he would have been better in the role as a more seasoned actor. Sometimes his responses seem muted like he's not really present, but that fits perfectly to the state that his character is in. It also allows the other performances to shine even more.
I agree. I think his relative “inexperience” served the role well.
RIDICULOUS
Goldblum was GREAT as The Fly
That was great - Love him and that that film

What a great man
I’m jealous of his memory damn I don’t even remember what I did yesterday
Then STOP SMOKING crack
I love this movie
A Lot of interesting cameos in that movie
I would love to see a series where Jeff rewatched his movies and gave all the insight
Why
Better than today's junk in the cinema
Fabulous Baker Boys/Into the Night crossover!!!!! I'm in!!!!
It may be too late for Nicholson and Hackman. But Jamie Lee Curtis and Eddie Murphy!!!! Let do this!!!!
I really like the movie
Was that a musical scene with BB King, Steve Martin, Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy, Michelle Pfeifer & Jeff Goldblum together? Holy cow, the A-List vibes were off the charts!
David Bowie was in it too
How could I go for 36 years and never see this awesome music video? Sounds like they did more than one.
The "music video" was an extra on the original VHS, DVD & BLU-RAY. It was recorded with studio session players, WAY BEFORE the actors were gathered together on the set/stage to mimic instrument playing. The only musician that was "really" in that music video, was B.B. King himself...and EVEN HE...was lip syncing/guitar syncing his parts.
Sorry to bust the bubble...

One of my favorite movies!
Has there ever been anything like the David bowie scene at Tiffany`'s?
Oh, I'm right there with you!!
I was gobsmacked By that scene!
... And I love it to ... And I love it to this day!
@@CalTxDude Colin: “We do understand each other don’t we?” Ed: “I don’t know.” Classic!!
@@Ed_Okin Well, Ed, if that's your real name, you're really very good. I'm surprised we haven't met before.....

Very Under rated...I loved this film but never got any heat
i have always liked this movie
With all due respect to Chinatown, LA Confidential and even Training Day this is my favorite movie about Los Angeles...if you want to know what Westwood, Beverly Hill and Century City were like in the mid-80's...this is it.
Good soundtrack Fun movie check them both out👍👍👍
I was a cop on his film auggie rose
The police station
He was excited about a book and the director wanted him to focus
It was no problem he just said oh yeah? Pointing his finger
Watch this... watch this
Makes me wonder what if Jeff became a Ghostbuster with Aykroyd and Murray.
I totally see That.
Paul Bartel as the doorman!
I love this movie, even though it's comically flawed, and have 2 copies of the VHS version.
First time I Saw this movie in MGM classi movies channel in 2007
and I love the scene when the girl in movie meets old customer or boy friend whatever, and
gives her a two classic super cars to escape with her friend
He was in the Best version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Found on VHS.
WRONG
I could not be in a movie with him because he is very very sexy and he is a good actor
Great movie.
I would love a sequel. Dont know if it would top the original especially without some of the originals passed on including Bb king on the music. But it could work with jeff,michelle and john landis. And ira newborn on the score.
I wonder if Jeff got the job on The Fly from Cronenberg watching him act from right across the table in this movie?
He must be a hell of a actor's coach.
Yes. I agree Los Angeles is changing, especially all the new apartments being built. 😂
EVERYTHING changes
how his sequel comes to light!
I love that movie. A lot of it has to do with the way Jeff Goldblum plays Ed. The exhaustion and sense of being lost is palpable.
JURASSIC PARK: INTO THE NIGHT The Sequel
Jeff Goldblum
I will produce the sequel!
Did the interviewer just ask one question and then Jeff just took over?
Great film. Especially love the 4 Iranian maniacs chasing Goldblum and Pfeiffer through Los Angeles, causing mayhem wherever they go and constantly arguing with each other. Another movie the critics didn’t like so you know it’s bound to be great……
Great underrated movie that almost no one has seen. That being said, listening to Goldblum's narrative here takes it down a few pegs. Is he on drugs?
OMG! They didn't interview him about Mr. Frost?! WTF?! What a disappointment!

3:46 hot
Legendary actor, classic movie... terrible interview. Good grief was this bad.
He looks old and I feel old
The hell is this dude talking about? Reagan made you feel depressed? I don't get it... Reagan came way after Kennedy
Get HELP
I love the movie, but don't waste your time with this video.
Dumb interview - bad sound and waste of time with Jeff rambling on.
