"You don't understand. You just solved the entire case. You just revolutionized the entire history of police training, I mean all these years at the academy studying human character, psyche of the terrorist, fingerprint analysis, all the courses that I've taken in surveillance, hostage negotiation, and criminal psychology, when all I had to do is just drive around the neighborhood, and point my finger at the house and say "THE BAD GUYS ARE IN THERE!"" The greatest Arnold line ever.
This movie is a huge satire to action films in general. I remember when my dad and I saw this in theaters. The amount of cameos that are in this movie that Arnold has worked with overtime was just great for me from your Robert Patrick to Sharon Stone great stuff. Even Whiskers the cartoon cat was voiced by Danny Devito.
This movie was years ahead of its time. We weren't ready for all the meta humor and satire. I remember I was in high school and even among the younger crowd the consensus was "This movie sucks but the soundtrack kicks ass." If you watch it now, it's much better.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: this movie is a misunderstood masterpiece. Waaaaaay ahead of its time, nobody realised the meta satire at the time, critics or audience.
I remember that many of Arnie's fans were upset by it, thought he was making fun of them but I loved it. Went back a few times to see it in the theater.
I put the "Mo 'who?'" conversation in the comments of an Amadeus clip here on You Tube. One dude replied, "After all these years, I finally now get the joke!" 😂😂😂
You forget how many terrific people were in this movie...Anthony Quinn, for god's sakes...Art Carney, Tina Turner, Danny Devito did a voice character, F Murray Abraham...and then all the people appearing basically as themselves. It is really one of the most packed casts you will ever see.
This movie is so underrated due to horrible initial reception, however, this movie keeps getting better with each viewing and a lot of people have reversed their minds on this movie once they have gotten to how meta it was and how much great stuff it had in it
I blame the marketing. It made it look like just another dumb, over the top action movie. This was the first Arnie movie I saw in theaters. My cousins and I skipped school just to see this movie.
It's def an arrogant take but I'm afraid it was just too clever for the average movie-goer. One of the greatest self aware movies ever made, totally misunderstood at the time.
The soundtrack would be a good discussion. Very big names were involved. Alice In Chains, Megadeth, Def Leppard, Tesla, AC/DC, Queensryche, Anthrax, and more.
critics hated this movie so much. I personally think this is a very under rated movie. One of Arnold's better movies. People that the movie in the movie was dumb but that was the whole point of movie in itself. It was no afraid to poke fun t itself. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase breaking the fourth wall..
Man I remember this movie back when it first came out. I was 8 when this movie came out and was a big part of my Arnold childhood fandom. I even remember Burger King even had a these animation cup things where it had this grid look on it but when you put this sleeve around it and moved it around it would show off a few seconds part of the movie. Well I think that's what it did. One a couple of my favorite scenes is when Arnold meets Arnold and was like "you're one of the best celebrity lookalikes I've ever seen". The other is when Danny sees Robert Patrick's T-1,000 cop.
People crap on this movie because they don’t know what it is or what to expect. It’s an over the top parody of action movies with the biggest action movie star. I love it!
I agree that audiences were not prepared for this, along with the studio overestimating audience reaction. Especially considering Arnold's previous film was T2. Also worth mentioning is that his next film, True Lies, is hella baller. Must watch at some point.
My favourite trick was to have one the gang but a ticket and let us all in via the fire exit. And this was back in the day when two movies were shown for the price of one. In Britain R movies are rated as X films and we did the same as you but hid the toilets (restrooms). The ability to do all these things became easier if it was late into its run weeks later. Sadly in all but the grandest/historical of Cinemas the balcony experience has given way to the 'pack 'em in' multiplex studios. Or even worse turned into snooker/poole places or Wetherspoon pubs etc under the pressure of the VHS player/recorder boom back in the late 1970s into the1980s.
I never sneaked in to the movies but just like @Mathew I was raised in a small town that had one theatre and it was very similar to the one he describes. I went to the movies every Sunday (after Church) but growing up in the 60's and early 70's I saw different movies than Mathew, I was raised on the old Hammer monsters movies Frankenstein, Dracula and The Wolfman and sci-fi movies like X The Man With The X-Ray Eyes and The Day The Earth Stood Still.
My best friend played Skeezy in this. He took me to the cast and crew screening, where I met Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was pretty cool! Also, definitely agree that Charles Dance fans should check out The Golden Child.
Yeah, SO many people went into this movie not knowing what to expect and ended up hating it, though I've known a lot who watched it again later with that understanding and grew to love it. One of the other great things about the movie is the soundtrack. As I recall, Arnold was in the video for the AC/DC song in it, and got to dress up in the Angus Young schoolboy outfit. I only went into a movie without paying for it once, and it wasn't my idea - I was there with some friends who were friends with an employee at the theater and she just let us in. I had gone fully-prepared to pay for my ticket.
Just saw Amadeus this past week (for the first time) and BOY did my eyes pop out of my skull upon seeing F. Murray and hearing a Moe Zart reference. LOVED this movie since the day I saw it in the theatre.
I saw this in the theater and it's been one of my favorites since then. lol. I've had it on VHS, DVD, BluRay and now digital. It was a lot of fun then and now. 😎
Also another one of my favorite scenes is when Arnold Schwarzenegger's character Jack slater later goes to the real world and he finds out that his whole life was just written imaginary it's like what if spider man came out of the comics inthe comics into our world and realize that everything that hes gone through in his life and the comics was a work of fiction I really Enjoyed that scene very much.
My favorite movie reference is having the teacher played by Joan Plowright. Having her show them her late husband’s (Laurence Olivier) version of Hamlet.
Gotta necro this thread with the comment, that what really stood out for me as weird was Arnold saying to his real world self "I don't even like you" ... very interesting bit to have in the script .... ... working my way through your older reactions oldest to newest ... I will get there 😋
I snuck into sooooooo many movies as a kid and teen, sometimes doing three free movies in a day (once even did a full day of films after walking in the exit, to the in theater arcade, playing a few games, then onward to start my 10a to 1a... yes around 13 hours... marathon of films).
It was about sneaking into multiple shows at the multiplex for me back in the day. Very easy to do on a busy weekend. I couldn't really enjoy seeing more than two movies back to back but a friend of mine really pushed his luck and would try and see four or five - he'll still do it when a lot of horror movies are out at once. Unfortunately for him he was a rather distinctive looking guy who stood out if you were a cinema employee looking around for people sneaking into stuff so he got caught a fair few times but that never stopped him. I'm not sure they bother rousting out sneaks any more unless someone's being really obnoxious about it and taking up someone else's seat or something. The reserved seating thing can be a bit tricky but the key is to NOT argue when someone tells you that the seat you're sitting in is theirs. (I mention it because it seems some people need this pointed out for them.) Just remembered a film theory professor at college who told us all about how she went to the cinema. Being a lady-person she could carry a large purse without attracting attention and she would bring a couple different shirts to change into in the ladies' room and a hat or scarf or two and a couple pairs of sunglasses. Seemed like a bit too much effort for me, but she clearly enjoyed every minute of it - which was good 'cuz she really didn't like movies that much at all so the sneaking around would have been the object of the exercise.
My favorite part of this movie is 7:32 I go to that scene anytime someone in the MCU mentions a movie that shares one of their actors. Like Mace Windu could be played by Avery Brooks in the MCU.
My favorite scene is the NYC alleyway when Benedict gets to the 'Real World' and shots a guy. "I've just shot a somebody, I did it on purpose. I said, I have murdered a man and want to confess!" "Hey, shut-up down there!" I also love the first time Slater shoots a car in the 'Real World' and when it doesn't immediately explode he's just like 'waiit wut???'
I remember as a kid watching this all the time on HBO. I would have LOVED to see Emily react to Last Dragon. Oh... the corny 80s cheese... It was right there! And Major Props and Respect to Robert Prosky. RIP.
Reminded me of the joy of finding a brilliant film at the video rental store. Loved seeing Anthony Quinn, after watching him in Lawrence of Arabia and many more.
Matthew, sneaking into movies you didn't pay for was a rite of passage back in the day. I did it multiple times at the multiplex... where I eventually got a job. ;-)
24:11 I was one of those people when I first saw this in 93 on VHS rental at 11 years old. I didn't understand the meta deconstructive nature of the movie. I liked it for the action but other stuff kinda turned off until rewatched it a few years later and started to understand what it was doing. Now it's one of my Arnold movies.
#fav line “Who does the doctor treat ? “ “Patients “ “look at the sleeve of my jacket… What’s it doing ?” “Wearing thin ?” “Bingo!” “That was a stretch “
Kinda glad this won now based on your reaction. You definitely got more laughs than you would have from Last Boy Scout but now you've seen this you need to see Last Boy Scout soon after just so you can see where something happens that Last Action Hero parodies or satirises.
I watch for Emily's reaction, regardless of whether I am interested in the movie, or not. Please watch 'The Long Kiss Goodnight', also a Shane Black script.
I love all the references, the one liners, the meta jokes and everything, but I think what I love the most is the real world stuff. the only critique i would have is i wished they had gone further with that. maybe a few extra scene of subversion, or realistic action scenes. but overall i agree with most here saying its underrated. i remember all the flack it got originally. glad people have more appreciation for it now.
Don't forget Sharon Stone's cameo from Basic Instinct as they're walking into the police station. This was such an underrated movie, glad you reacted to it!
Have loved the reactions on this channel for a while now, but never clicked faster than when I saw it was to this movie. Might be that I had the sound track as a kid and still rate it highly :p
I saw this movie twice in the theater back in the day and I loved it. I was 11. It was the first Arnold Schwarzenegger I got to see in the theater. This is such an underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger classic.
Speaking of Shane West screenplays and Christmas, I hope "The Long Kiss Goodnight" (1996) gets a reaction for December. --edit: I meant Shane Black not West.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Oh, *yes*. (I missed "Shane West". It's Black, not West :D)
I know they didn't show the scene but the moment when Arnold throws Leo "the Fart,' off the balcony while everyone is pointing guns at him and he yells "DON'T SHOOT." That scene might be the best acting from Arnold I've ever seen. He legit sounds like he's afraid for his life lol.
This movie is genius! It's sad to know that it didn't do well in the box office because people weren't ready for this type of movie at the time, but it pokes fun at all the best things about 80's action movies. My favorite bit is the not reloading the gun. To this day I watch action movies and shake my head at the fact that they either never reload or shoot a revolver 16 times before they run out of bullets. This movie and John Wick give me such joy just to see someone reload lol.
i was working at a movie theater when this came out, and i appreciated it for what it was immediately. i really enjoyed it. my favorite bit is still the ice cream cone to the back of the bad guy's head. i also agree the pacing hurt the movie a little- it could have been tightened up by about 20 minutes. my name suggestion for Matthew: Projection Booth Guru
Saw this in the theater at age 13. Still love it. "Danny, stop the crane now!!" For some more Charles Dance action, The Golden Child should be viewed soon.
"You don't understand. You just solved the entire case. You just revolutionized the entire history of police training, I mean all these years at the academy studying human character, psyche of the terrorist, fingerprint analysis, all the courses that I've taken in surveillance, hostage negotiation, and criminal psychology, when all I had to do is just drive around the neighborhood, and point my finger at the house and say "THE BAD GUYS ARE IN THERE!""
The greatest Arnold line ever.
“You think you’re funny, dont you?”
If her and Rich Evans ever watch a movie together and they both laugh at the same time, the universe might implode.
If you liked a younger Charles Dance, why not try The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy.
I...want the knife...
...PLEASE 😏😜😁
Absolutely fantastic movie, second this.

I swear they got to collab with ashleigh burton. Her and ashleigh together would be laughs all day
Crossover for "True Lies" would be AMAZING.
Let's be honest, thought: it's a Pippin/Beans crossover that we would be hoping for.
Imagine how twangy their accents would end up being after they rub off on each other for a while.
Definitely
I’m subbed to both 👍
I fully support this 😁
My most underrated "big" film of the last 50 years. It's a love letter to people who love movies.
You are dam right
I've said it before and I'll say it again: this movie is a misunderstood masterpiece. Waaaaaay ahead of its time, nobody realised the meta satire at the time, critics or audience.

Wait, really? Even 15 year old me understood that
@@Atlas_Redux Most of people who were upset were americans. This movie was really well received in other countries actually.
No. Everyone understands it. It’s just not deep or even slightly complicated. It’s just not that well acted by some.
@@tempsitch5632 It's not supposed to be well acted. It's a satire/parody of action flicks at the time. The overacting is on purpose.
"Practice killed Mozart" is definitely one of my favorite meta movie jokes.
Mo who?
@@sydhamelin1265 Zart.
@@eeflycan That was one of the best setup and payoff jokes in any movie.

Brother Numpsa!
I was going to say, that's how I know him best: He's Sardo Numpsey!
After all these years I still can't believe Charles Dance and Sir Ian McKellen are in this film, and they're great.
Yes I agree 👍💯
This movie is so underrated due to horrible initial reception, however, this movie keeps getting better with each viewing and a lot of people have reversed their minds on this movie once they have gotten to how meta it was and how much great stuff it had in it
AFAIK the biggest problem was that it had to compete with "Jurassic Park". Even Arnold in his absolute prime could not win against CGI-dinosaurs.
I blame the marketing. It made it look like just another dumb, over the top action movie.
This was the first Arnie movie I saw in theaters. My cousins and I skipped school just to see this movie.
Another big issue it had is that it came out way to close to what it was making fun of.
It's def an arrogant take but I'm afraid it was just too clever for the average movie-goer. One of the greatest self aware movies ever made, totally misunderstood at the time.
"In this world, the bad guys CAN win!"
I felt that.
If that's winning, everyone just lost.

@@Hiraghm That's what he believes.
@@Trehek "I said I just murdered a man, and I want to confess!"

Also fun fact Jack Slater's daughter would go on later to play Sonya blade in the 1st mortal kombat movie
Dance steals this movie." If God was a villain he would be me"."I just shot a man and, I want to confess".
"Eh, shut up down there"
Yep. He was fantastic
_"If that little turd, Daniel Madigan can move through parallel worlds, I can move through parallel worlds."_
I love this movie! The general premise and all the meta jokes are just superb. And Charles Dance is excellent as always.
....pleeeeeeeeease.
Yes I agree 👍💯
Later in that year, in Stallone's "Demolition Man" they pay back the refference talking about "The Schwarzenegger Presidential Library".
"You don't have plot armor." Love it!
I swear, her laughs are getting better and better.
The fact that this was directed by the same guy who directed Predator and Die Hard makes this that much better
Severely underrated.
The soundtrack would be a good discussion. Very big names were involved. Alice In Chains, Megadeth, Def Leppard, Tesla, AC/DC, Queensryche, Anthrax, and more.
Where the soundtrack alone may even be better than the film. The Spawn soundtrack was way better than the film.
I love the soundtrack to this movie.
The Casting of Death always surprises me. An amazing actor
Commando is one of my favourite Arnie movies - but just about anything with his is great.
GETTODACHOPPAAAA!!!
critics hated this movie so much.
I personally think this is a very under rated movie. One of Arnold's better movies.
People that the movie in the movie was dumb but that was the whole point of movie in itself. It was no afraid to poke fun t itself. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase breaking the fourth wall..
Your videos are so amazing that I can't help but watch the whole video. Thank you for the many laughs, guys! Much love from Massachusetts! ❤️ 💕
Always liked the movie... especially when you see the T-1000 coming out of the police station.
Also Wayne’s World . . .”Have you seen this boy?”
One of my absolute favorite movies of all time. So underrated and so fun.
I will always love this film. The magic of the movies personified. Why it has never gotten a lot of love has always baffled me.
Man I remember this movie back when it first came out. I was 8 when this movie came out and was a big part of my Arnold childhood fandom.
I even remember Burger King even had a these animation cup things where it had this grid look on it but when you put this sleeve around it and moved it around it would show off a few seconds part of the movie. Well I think that's what it did.
One a couple of my favorite scenes is when Arnold meets Arnold and was like "you're one of the best celebrity lookalikes I've ever seen". The other is when Danny sees Robert Patrick's T-1,000 cop.
The description of that small town theater with one screen and a balcony was a perfect word-for-word description of the theater in Pineville, Kentucky
Saw it as a kid and loved the action. Rewatching now just shows the satire of it. This and Starship Troopers were completely misunderstood growing up
An underrated masterpiece 👌
Only in the US. We all loved it.
I love this movies soundtrack. You don't get banger hard rock and heavy metal soundtracks like this very often.
People crap on this movie because they don’t know what it is or what to expect. It’s an over the top parody of action movies with the biggest action movie star. I love it!
I agree that audiences were not prepared for this, along with the studio overestimating audience reaction. Especially considering Arnold's previous film was T2. Also worth mentioning is that his next film, True Lies, is hella baller. Must watch at some point.
Sir Ian McKellan saying "I don't do fiction" makes me laugh every time lol.
The critics butchered this film but l loved it. Especially after he predicts “both cops dead, Jack walks away with a small wound”.
This was the first movie I ever saw in theaters as a kid. It has always had a special place for me because of that.
You SNUCK into the theater?!??

Welcome to the Club, Friend!
20:06 Arnold's Jack Slater figures doesn't have guns but the Evil Eye Benedict figure does. I had both and The Ripper.

One of the best soundtracks in movie history.

8:26 I like how she said nothing being it's not the first reference
This movie is genius! It's sad to know that it didn't do well in the box office because people weren't ready for this type of movie at the time, but it pokes fun at all the best things about 80's action movies. My favorite bit is the not reloading the gun. To this day I watch action movies and shake my head at the fact that they either never reload or shoot a revolver 16 times before they run out of bullets. This movie and John Wick give me such joy just to see someone reload lol.
i was working at a movie theater when this came out, and i appreciated it for what it was immediately. i really enjoyed it. my favorite bit is still the ice cream cone to the back of the bad guy's head. i also agree the pacing hurt the movie a little- it could have been tightened up by about 20 minutes.
my name suggestion for Matthew: Projection Booth Guru
Saw this in the theater at age 13. Still love it.
"Danny, stop the crane now!!"
For some more Charles Dance action, The Golden Child should be viewed soon.
You two are made for each other. I love the justification at the very end
A favorite film, almost startlingly good in fact. Something else: it's incredibly rewatchable, too.
Great movie for not taking itself serious.
I love this movie. When they bump into the other two Terminators at the Police station I was laughing so bad.
Oh fk yeah awesome
I know I’ve bugged you for this for a while
Thanks
Great reaction
Little Nicky for next one please
YES! Emily also got a Pagemaster Deja Vu!
One other tiny bit in this film was during one of the car chases. There was a minivan with a minigun. Hilarious.
The police captain is the same actor from "48 Hrs" - and that's the scene they are parodying here. Classic.
I only snuck into a film once. I watched some film and afterwards sneaked into the live action showing of Scooby Doo.
You should try The Golden Child for more great Charles Dance. I am glad you put the cat in the center he so cute :)
