@@tfbtv I love Glocks over Berettas but I also feel like more 92s were seen in media in the 80s than Glocks. G17s, 92s, and P226s hit their media stride in the 90s though. Not many Wonder Nines were prevalent in 80s media it feels like. Most 80s 9mm pistols were either P-38s, Browning HPs, or S&W autos.

I love that when you watch it you are conditioned to look at Jack as the hero of the story, but he's actually the wacky sidekick. Wang is the hero. It's his world, his girl, his fight. All the stakes effect the Chinese character. Jack only stands to loose a truck.

Reeves doesn't actually think we think he is playing dress up right?
Man when I was a stupid kid I thought that the desert eagle wasn’t just the coolest handgun but also a practical one
Me too until I shot one. On the upside it will teach you not to ride your thumbs on the slide.
I grew up in the 80s and it was a great time to be alive! Guns we're made out of steel and big!!!
New favorite TH-camr. Time to binge-watch the oldies…
Excellent video. The shooting clips in costumes were simply amazing.
The Desert Eagle was also in Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man.....another cool movie!
I miss the 80's. Michael Mann was doing something no one had ever done before with Miami Vice, music kicked ass and people didn't hate each other. The 90's were great, too.
The 90s brought upon us Brittney Spears, N’ Sync, the Backstreet Boys, Milli Vanilli, and the rise of Pauly Shore, Carson Daily, Jar Jar Binks...the 90s sucked
@@MrShredtilldead but the 2000s were good
Sorry but 80's music is horrible. I'd rather listen to cats being torturefucked to death.
@@salazam Andrew Lloyd Webbers musical "CATS" was first preformed in 1981. Cheers.
@@PerfectionHunter That's gay that you know that.
Iconic 1980's Guns How could You not include the Beretta 92
Wrong decade
I think the 92 line was started around 1973/75 because it was the same year that CZ started the 75 series. I might be off by a yr. because I'm going by memory.
He said guns that didn’t suck lol
@@tfbtv Original Beretta Yes Beretta 92F was 1980's. Die Hard, Lethal Weapon both used the same model 92F. Fun topic and Great list regardless.
I have a chubby for ghetto blasters, HeMan, and Ecto Coolers as well.
As well as pre-polymer Smiths, which look like the love child of a Sig and a 1911.
“Top 5 guns for your 80’s, not from the 80’s” - 😂🤣😂 Savage.
Me and my BFF love referencing 1999 Hulk Hogan fashion whenever we can, so I appreciated the hell out of that JNCO pic.
I was born in 1997, but still I think the 80s kicked ass. Such a nice decade
I'd love to go back and just stay there.
@@sorenpx Same.
Funny, I was born in late 1995 and watched all 80s films when I was 4.
@@TheHitman644 I really like "Pale Rider" with Clint Eastwood. Think that movie came on to the screens in 1987.
Lmfao I know what he's going for with the look but, he straight up looks like a coke kingpin from any major 80s movie 👌🤣
I was getting more of a Harrison Ford vibe for some reason, that's probably just me.
@@dragonlvr069 It's the hair 🤣
@@r1w3d lol... I think it was the hair
He looks like Milo.
i’m just glad he didn’t go for the Ted Nugent miami vice episode look
Fantastic dope video man. Glad the Bren 10 was on the list. IMO it’s the definitive gun of the 80s.
I KNEW IT! I knew you're going to say uzi right before you said! Good picks and adorable cat!
Going to high school in the 80s was the best. Femininity and masculinity were both embraced.
I would add the AUG to the mix
now THIS is the TFB content I subscribe for!
I love the music you guys use. Can we get a "James Reeves best music to wear short shorts in" Playlist? No joke dig the tune.
The Living Daylights is finally getting the recognition it deserves. You have my subscription fella.
You have great taste.
The Living Daylights was amazing.
Miami Vice will always be the greatest tv show ever.
"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, "Give me your best shot. I can take it."
Big Trouble in Little China- Jack Burton
It's all in the reflexes
“Who is Jack Burton?” One of the bad Chinese dudes 😎
It amazes me how they call a movie with only two white actors racist these days..
They claim only white people can be racist and every other actor in that movie was Asian..
The double standards of the SJWs..
@@zakofrx the other thing people forget is that Jack Burton was basically a sidekick who THOUGHT he was the hero.
I can't find the clip of that line on TH-cam, does anyone have a link?
Only James can TEC-9 while looking at the camera and give me both chills and chub...
one of those "mythical" gun of the 80's (and/or 90's) would be Pancor Jackhammer, almost every 80's & 90's kids may knew it but never seen it in flesh and only 1 single youtube video of that original gun.
Forgotten Weapons episode right?
9:58 Thanks for the correction and clarification for those in the back!
Big trouble in little china is literally my favorite movie lol.
I was born in the 80's so.. Yes they were awesome.
Growing up in the 80s at ages 14 - 24 were even better....lol
I fuckin love when James hosts videos. Makes me laugh and forget about the poop stained world for a few. Thank you sir
Maybe you should move if you live in poop. That's not good for you, bro.
Don’t forget the Desert Eagle in a modified form was in Red Heat with Arnold Schwarzenegger
And the greatest homage to action movies ever, The Last Action Hero.
@@indiedavecomix3882 shoot I forgot about that one
@@indiedavecomix3882 That's a 90's movie though...
His regular big ass russian gun was sick too. I forget what it was but it was huuuuuuuuge. Also the main badguy in that movie has a arm sling single shot derringer style shotgun. Another sick gun.
@@mkII. the Podbyrin 9.2mm is what they called it....what it was is a 357 Desert Eagle modified to look more “Soviet”
The “Sleeve pistol” was a DA38 O/U daringer that was modified to a 12G
Both modified by Tim La France
Your videos are hilarious. I live it. Thanks and keep up the great work
This was a high quality video! Loved it!
When I think of the 80’s, I’m thinking Drug cartel dudes in suits, mullets, sunglasses rocking the Mac-10.
Yep. Too bad the mac-10 was made too early to make the cut 😕
The Duke rocked the M-10 in 1974’s McQ
My old man was a Detroit cop in the 80's; he carried a 4" Smith 686 "Distinguished Combat Magnum" which came out in 1981. Give the 80's the revolver love it deserves!
Fun story; he got a call for a dude at a McDonald's with a knife. He showed up to find a black dude at a table, drunk off his ass, trying to open his cigarette pack with a pocket knife. My dad opened it for him and gave him a ride home. The 80's were indeed better times. When he dropped him off at his apartment, they smoked a cigarette and my dad listened to him tell his troubles.
Damn ! Bustin' on ol' Hickok 45 ! 😆
First gun channel I see where the jokes actualy hit, and damn they hit good :D
Even filled your pants extra when shooting the deagle, truly amazing attention to detail
Love this episode!
I remember the day the wife and I saw The Living Daylights in the theater. It was a very good day we had, damn I miss the 80's.
For your 80’s 😂😂😂😂😂 hit the dance floor
Love those 80's guns. I grew up in the 80's so I wasn't old enough to buy all these gems then.
awesome. definitely deserves a sequel, or a series that goes over the '60s, '70s, etc.
I think the beretta m9 is more of the 80s icon than the glock. but I absolutely give the 90s and 2000s to the glock.
I agree, Beretta was all the rage in the 80s people talked about it like it was a miracle of gun inventions.
"If you hit anything, it's a bonus". That's one hell of an endorsement!
I am 2 minutes in and already my favorite video.
I was born in the 90's and I don't think I have ever seen anyone with a tank top tucked in irl
This RAD video made my day!
The Intratec Tec-9 was originally produced in 1982-83 as the Interdynamics KG-9. The company was short-lived and the design wound up with Intratec. Great video. The80's were awesome!
Finally some love for The Living Daylights and T-Dalt
Big fan of both myself, and I am a proud second generation James Bond fan.
OMG THANK YOU! I have been singing the praises of "The Living Daylights" as one of the best bond films for years and everyone dogs it just because it was Timothy Dalton. Seriously that is my #4 bond film. Nice to see someone else give it some love.
I count myself lucky to have grown up in the 80’s

Amen
The slow mo of the desert eagle being shot was amazing. Lol
Good video I really liked this one a lot!
