Fun fact: the nicknames for the women characters (Mad and Hel) is a pun itself to reference the saying “Mad as Hell” a small detail but one I’ve always appreciated.
Fun Fact: Isabella Rossellini (who plays the "sorceress" Lisle) is the daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca). She is as gorgeous as her mother and also a phenomenal actress. I remember Goldie Hawn talking about how Kurt Russell watched this film with her and that he was laughing so hard she started to worry he couldn't breathe properly! Also, it's a great film for Bruce Willis as it's such a departure from his usual tough guy role.
Actually, Bruce Willis started out doing comedy roles! When he did Die Hard, his first action tough guy role, most people laughed at the thought of him in that kind of role, until they saw it, and then he got typecast into those roles more often!
The way Meryl Streep can manipulate her voice is nothing short of amazing. She'll go from high class to trailer park in one minute flat. It's my favorite part about her acting ability. You can really see it on full display and She-Devil too.
Now THIS movie is a classic. Feels like a cold reminder that you should forgive and move on before it haunts you forever. Seeing you guys reacting to this feels like an early Christmas present.
Dude, I clicked on this reaction video so fast. I appreciate how you two react to all genres of film, watch with an open mind, and go into the experience without reading about the plotlines beforehand. This is a campy dark comedy classic. I just realized that Madeline and Helen's hollow bodies at the end is a metaphor for them being completely empty, perpetually unfulfilled, unhappy people.
Best casting ever: Meryl Streep as the bad actress, Goldie Hawn as the ugly girl and Bruce Willis as the weak and pathetic. That is genious. I love this movie!
This movie was one of my favorite comedy horror movies. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep were just a classic duo. I wish you would have been able to recognize more of the people that they had in the party scene there were so many celebrities there represented besides Elvis Jim Morrison James Dean.... But the whole film has just the basic belief that life is precious and should live it to its fullest.
Ernest might have started out a terrible person as well, but he was the only one to grow as a person. He really seemed to change his life around after those events according to his funeral turn out.
I love the effect of the hole in Helen's stomach and her eyes after she dies, it looks great. I've heard they are remaking this and I am not happy about it! It doesn't need it, this whole film still holds up!
You guys left out my favorite line...Meryl/Madeline's "NOW a warning???" This movie's humor isn't for everyone but I absolutely loved it. But this isn't surprising from somebody who grew up reading and loving MAD magazine.
Ive seen this dozens of times and I have to admit that I failed to realize, until you guys pointed it out, that when Bruce Willis (Ernest) got the potion infused into his hand his ability to throw that dagger with such precision was due to the fact that the potion rejuvenated his hand and arm. Thanks for pointing out that little known fact :D
Funny fact: even though the movie acts like Helen being 50 but looking that amazing must be due to a magical potion, in real life the actress Goldie Hawn was *47* when they filmed this movie!
Bruce Willis was in a tv show in the 80s called "Moonlighting" where he played a private detective at a detective agency. He was a funny guy in that. He started in comedy.
I found this on my parents VHS bookcase when I was probably 11. it's probably my favorite Bruce Willis performance next to Die Hard. hands down one of the best dark comedies out there.
Always loved the part where they talk at Earnest's funeral about how he made up stories about the living dead in Hollywood as the girls are watching on with their faces looking like puddy. Lmao
When you have someone like Meryl Streep playing a role that seems to be flippant on the surface, there's always something deeper underneath. This movie feels like a farcical comedy but it's actually a commentary on superficiality, envy and ego. The fact that Streep plays the lead is also hilarious, because there have been ridiculous rumors for years about her alleged demands to be lit a certain way or only be filmed from a certain angle in close up lol She was mocking these perceptions of her along with telling an interesting story that's surprisingly more nuanced than expected.
That was Academy Award-winning actor, director, producer, and writer Sydney Pollack in an uncredited role. He starred in Eyes Wide Shut and directed Tootsie and The Firm.
I would love for them to do Overboard, one of my favorite comedies! I know Goldie Hawn is an icon but not enough people give her credit for her brilliant comedic timing and ability. When people name comedic actresses you don't hear her name come up often and that's a shame.
Glad you two reacted to this movie. It's an under appreciated classic! Robert Zemeckis, the director, also did all the Back To The Future movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump. Not a bad resume.
YAAAASSSSS!! *”Death Becomes Her”* is my all-time-favorite movie so I am _sooooooo_ excited that you boys are watching it!! (I’m pissed at TH-cam for not notifying me of y’all’s video sooner!!) There aren’t nearly enough reactions to this movie on TH-cam, so thank *God* for you guys!
The visual effects in this are probably really overlooked now but it was really groundbreaking stuff to have Goldie Hawn walking around with a hole in her and their bodies twisted the way they are. Robert Zemeckis's has been an innovative director in that regard.
Bruce's big break came on Moonlighting which was simultaneously a private investigation show and an increasingly surreal RomCom. His character was very funny. He did Die Hard while on that. Immortality sucks because if something kills off humanity, you're still alive, but truly alone.
I love this movie so much! And I've found the more times you watch it, the more you notice the little things. Like when Ernest fell through the glass ceiling and survived! First of all, he has a big cut on his arm and the potion shattered on the glass ceiling (haven't you ever heard the term "shattering the glass ceiling" i.e. breaking expectations?), so when he hit the glass he landed face first. So he probably got some in his mouth. Then the glass broke and he fell in the pool (that was Jim Morrison from The Doors (Val Kilmer played him in a biopic) with the girl). Well the potion fell in the pool too! So, overall, I'm 99% sure Ernest digested/absorbed a tiny portion of the potion. Which, at most, healed his hand and the damage he'd done to his body from years of drinking. Didn't give him immortality, but it probably healed him back to pre-Helen, 15-20 yrs!
The doctor did not pass out he died of a heart attack and they are trying to bring him back hence the paddles. A lot of this went over your heads. The guy with the girl by the swimming pool was Jim Morrison of the The Doors. Also there was Elvis and Howard Hughes just to name a few. They all took the potion.
Greta Garbo was there, too. Lisle mentioned her as one of her first clients who “just wanted to be alone”. In real life, Garbo retired in 1941 at 35 and spent the last 49 years of her life (she died in 1990 at 84, just two years before the movie came out) in near seclusion, refusing to grant interviews or entertain more than a handful of people.
This movie keeps you on your toes man... That's what makes it so great. PLUS the fact that all three of them don't normally play their usual roles of who they are. Bruce Willis does not play a mild minded man in most of his movies and definitely not somebody who's a pushover. Meryl Streep is definitely not a narcissistic personality in any of her movies. Goldie Hawn came in playing the straight laced actress and then she went sideways and then just evil sarcastic gold! So this was just totally out of the realm of all three of them and that's why this is so cool as a movie. ALL 3 of them had seven different interviews that they love doing this movie because it was something that audiences never expected any of them to play and they worked really well with each other cuz I feel like they could let loose and just do anything because it was such a wild card storylines. #NYGenXBIKERLady
Goldie first was kinda sad actually that so many scenes were cut, especially the original ending (which she thought was the better one)... but I think when she eventually saw people's reactions to the new ending, she came around and was happy. I just really want to see the deleted scene with Helen and Ernest in the Beverly Hills hotelroom (happens after Helen spying on Ernest when he is at the mortuary)... Ernest drives towards the hotel and Helen realises it, so she cuts in front of him, jumps out of her car, runs into her room and shoves all the things from the Madeline shrine in her other room. Then Ernest knocks and she lets him in, he is absolutely convinced it's a miracle. Helen can't believe he actually thinks Madeline is alive so she throws a glass of water in his face and he asks for a towel in a defeated way😆. He tells he still loves Helen but he needs to help Madeline. Helen then does the hankerchief thing again where her hand starts to bleed. Goldie looks stunning in that scene.
I think the eye twitch on the beauty parlour owner is the first clue to the downside of the potion. A bit of foreshadowing as to what happens if you get damaged. I may have missed a few, but the classic celebrities i spotted at the mansion party included Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, James Dean and Jim Morrison.A brilliant film. I love dark humour. You guys should check out the BBC comedy TV series 'The League of Gentlemen'. Its really funny, but the humour is very dark and twisted.
I remember seeing this in the theaters and being so awed by the FX. E! used to show behind the scenes features and the one for this played fairly regularly, and seeing how they did the scene where Mad's head is backwards blew me away.Funny now with everything we do with CGI, but for practical effects it was amazing work.
Loved the reaction!!! The original cut of this film was much longer... They cut a way more moralistic ending (which took place in Switzerland) and a few scenes leading up to it that included another female character... bartender Toni (played by Tracey Ullman). They decided to reshoot the original ending when it didn't test well at prescreenings... the funeral scene was shot only 3 weeks before the US release and so the entire storyline with the Toni character was unneeded and removed. They also cut so much more. After 23:00 An entire sequence of Ernest going to Helen's hotel where he goes on about the miracle and then a whole DAY sequence was cut as well... When Ernest comes home again he sticks Madeline in the big freezer and he falls asleep on the couch. The next morning maid Rose comes in and discovers Madeline in the fridge... Madeline is awake and pissed off... and tells her to close it. Rose and the maids run to Ernest and he makes something up that it's just some weird beauty treatment Madeline read about in a magazine. Then Ernest gets Madeline out the fridge while Rose waits in the livingroom... Madeline complains being all stiff and he tells her it's rigor mortis, tells her to just walk it off and to put some avocado on her face. Ernest goes to the 3 maids and gives them some money and tells them not to come back. Madeline tries to walk towards the stairs all stiff and crunchy while reassuring the maids she is fine while she waves with her broken hand. The maids get out of the house and Ernest starts pulling Madeline up the stairs and promises to make her his masterpiece. We also see Helen exercising in her hotelroom while a bellhop brings the maps of death valley and we see her shopping for the burial items at the hardwarestore when the clerk implies she has killed someone she laughs maniacally.
That is called a feather boa that Meryl Streep is wearing. Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn are hilarious! Great review! I loved the scene with the doctor!
I think there was one like this, it had Lea Thompson in it. I can’t remember the details but I remember her wanting to be beautiful and then she drank something and then her face decomposing throughout the show lol. It was one of my favorites! I need to look that one up. I only saw it one time but I remember the girl in it bc she was Marty’s mom 😂 and she was really pretty.
30:10 Originally Ernest floats at the bottom of the pool for awhile and then he wakes up and sees... the potionbottle's light. It never broke in the original version of the film. That's why the "Are you gonna be done soon or what?" goes nowhere... because originally Ernest replied: "Oh yeah, I'm gonna be done very soon.... and SO WILL ALL OF YOU!" and he then shows them the potion. You can even see him holding it in his left hand as he walks away (appearantly they didn't reshoot this shot). Then the whole 3rd act with Ernest rushing to his favorite bar and Toni (the cut character played by Tracey Ullman) happened. Sadly this was all cut when they reshot the ending.
Those guys at the castle were a part of an American game show called "American Gladiators" that was popular at the time. Men and woman gladiators would go up against everyday hereo athletes contestants. I remember names like: "Blaze, Atlas, Lace , Cyclone etc...😂😂😂😂
Guys, mad respect for actively searching movies others haven't reacted to. It's refreshing. I love this movie so much. Grew up watching it. The time jump is to emphasize their ageing. Loved your reaction 🤙 I recommend watching "My Girl" if you wanna react to another different movie.
I still remember when Meryl speaked about this movie. It was the first movie when she bring her mom to watch her and it was the scene with broken neck, she wear some green bag (or something similar) on her head for the trick. It was very funny.
The doctor was played by Sydney Pollack, better known as a director but showing his skill here as an actor - funnier in two minutes that some manage to be in two hours.
This film shows how amazing Bruce Willis is as an actor his range is not explored enough but in this he was so believable you forget this is John McClane
Man yall are killin it! The last month or so your reacts have been Great. Love watchin you guys watch the film while workin out the details of the story. Awesome reaction. 👍
Omg yes when I was about 6 this with my mom and I was terrified for like 2 years. Thank God someone is reacting to this I haven't seen it since and was thinking about it the other day. Keep up the great work guys.
I know no one else is going to recommend this, but I’m a big fan of Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis, Andi McDowell, Danny Aiello, David Caruso, and a rare performance by Frank Stallone, Sly’s brother.
Y’all are always so fun. :) And this movie… what a trip!! Death Becomes Her is a long-time personal favorite. I first rented this movie at a West Coast Video (similar to Blockbuster) when I was around 9 years old, I think? No idea why my dad allowed it-maybe he forgot to check the rating. lol I just thought the cover of the VHS was hilarious looking so that’s why I grabbed it. DBH and Clue were both repeat rentals.😄 Additionally, I briefly spoke to Goldie Hawn about this movie when I saw her during a talk/comedy tour she did two decades ago. She was so entertaining and it was such an honor to have an exchange with her.
Meryl Streep in this role was such a great surprise as such a departure from her serious Oscar winning roles she normally plays. Such a great film. Sadly alot of people don't know about it. It's one of my absolute favourites.
I use to watch this all the time when l was a kid. But l never noticed until a few years back that the person who was being resuscitated was the doctor (Sydney Pollak) that first examined her.
I never see any reactions to this movie and I loved it! It's one of my all time favorites and definitely underrated. It's great on the surface and only gets better the deeper you go.
Meryl Streep "taking control" of her family in She-Devil was drop dead hilarious. Here, she uses her talents for laughs and delivers. All three are perfectly cast, with Willis getting to show his acting abilities. Does Death Becomes Her fall into the ZomCom genre? They do mention The Living Dead of Hollywood.
Such a campy and hilariously dark movie Meryl streep and Goldie hawn were amazing especially Bruce Willis compared to the normal roles he does him as a bumbling timid character is funny
Wow I have only one vague memory of this movie and it’s when the one woman falls down the stairs and the stands up in the background. When I was 8 it FREAKED me out and I never knew the name of this movie until now 🤙🏻
I’ve loved this movie since I was 12. I used to watch it every weekend. Also the guy that gives Madeline the business card was Fred in the movie Drop Dead Fred. That’s another movie you should watch. It’s so good and so underrated.
Fun fact: the nicknames for the women characters (Mad and Hel) is a pun itself to reference the saying “Mad as Hell” a small detail but one I’ve always appreciated.
Why have I been watching this movie for years and never noticed that
Also "Ern" with "Ernest".
Mad Ern Hel
Madder than hell
@@AngelofMusic04??
Fun Fact: Isabella Rossellini (who plays the "sorceress" Lisle) is the daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca). She is as gorgeous as her mother and also a phenomenal actress.

@@killinglonliness88 when did he release his music album? And that wine cooler commercial?

She was also a model.

I love She Devil!
She's also a certified asshole irl.
They neeeeed to watch She-Devil!!!
Reminds me of Goldie Hawn in Overboard.
@@krissiep1317 Yes! Goldie does a great rich b***h voice.
My grandmother took me to see this when I was a kid. She was wonderful and I miss her. I'm glad you guys liked it. We did too.
I went with my Mum and Gran when I was a kid. My Gran was laughing her ass off the entire movie. Seeing this movie now always makes me think of her. 😊
Now THIS movie is a classic. Feels like a cold reminder that you should forgive and move on before it haunts you forever.
Seeing you guys reacting to this feels like an early Christmas present.
Makes a solid double feature with “banshees of inisheerin”
You cut out my favorite line! 😭
Lisle: "Now - a warning."
Madeline: "NOW a warning!?!?! 😳"
Yes!!!
His edits often omit favorite scenes/lines.
I was waiting for that too!
Dude, I clicked on this reaction video so fast. I appreciate how you two react to all genres of film, watch with an open mind, and go into the experience without reading about the plotlines beforehand. This is a campy dark comedy classic.
I just realized that Madeline and Helen's hollow bodies at the end is a metaphor for them being completely empty, perpetually unfulfilled, unhappy people.
Open mind.....and open mouths!
Can everyone say ICONIC?! Three great legends..comedy, twists, effects... Perfection.
And a great score.
Best casting ever: Meryl Streep as the bad actress, Goldie Hawn as the ugly girl and Bruce Willis as the weak and pathetic. That is genious. I love this movie!
One movie you both should react to is Serial Mom. It is a dark comedy just like Death Becomes Her. A phenomenal cult classic.
Yes it’s such a good movie
Filmed in Baltimore!
One of my absolute favorites! Wait I think they did react to Serial Mom. Or maybe that was another channel.
Just don’t wear white after Labour Day.
Good one!
This movie was one of my favorite comedy horror movies. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep were just a classic duo. I wish you would have been able to recognize more of the people that they had in the party scene there were so many celebrities there represented besides Elvis Jim Morrison James Dean.... But the whole film has just the basic belief that life is precious and should live it to its fullest.
A couple of others were Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Marlena Dietric ( sorry no idea how to spell her name I hope u can forgive me)
The final scene where they bust all to pieces gets me every time. And all they can say is "Do you remember where we parked the car."
Ernest might have started out a terrible person as well, but he was the only one to grow as a person. He really seemed to change his life around after those events according to his funeral turn out.
And he was damn lucky his wife couldn't be killed 😆
I love the camp that is Isabella Rosselini swimming in high heels. Absolute queen.
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
I adore this movie and I'm so glad that you guys are covering it. The special effects still hold up and all the actors in it do a fantastic job.
I love the effect of the hole in Helen's stomach and her eyes after she dies, it looks great. I've heard they are remaking this and I am not happy about it! It doesn't need it, this whole film still holds up!

I’ve never seen anyone react to this movie, but it was one of my favourites as a kid
If you'd like to see other reactions, I just typed it in on youtube (Death Becomes Her reactions) and there are 8 different ones. Enjoy.
This movie kills me every time 😂 One of my absolute favourites. It is a campy black comedy and it deserves its cult status.
Funny fact: even though the movie acts like Helen being 50 but looking that amazing must be due to a magical potion, in real life the actress Goldie Hawn was *47* when they filmed this movie!
This movie right here had me dying laughing especially at the end when they came tumbling down to pieces 😂😂😂
Bruce Willis was in a tv show in the 80s called "Moonlighting" where he played a private detective at a detective agency. He was a funny guy in that. He started in comedy.
I found this on my parents VHS bookcase when I was probably 11. it's probably my favorite Bruce Willis performance next to Die Hard. hands down one of the best dark comedies out there.

Omgosh I cannot even tell you how excited I am to see you see this!! 😅
One of my favorite movies to rewatch
the scene with the doctor in the emergency room is one of the funniest things ever
That was Academy Award-winning actor, director, producer, and writer Sydney Pollack in an uncredited role. He starred in Eyes Wide Shut and directed Tootsie and The Firm.
Yes!!! I hate how few people know about this movie! A couple more in this general comedy style: The Jerk, Overboard, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Agree completely about all 3, but especially "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".
I would love for them to do Overboard, one of my favorite comedies! I know Goldie Hawn is an icon but not enough people give her credit for her brilliant comedic timing and ability. When people name comedic actresses you don't hear her name come up often and that's a shame.
They have to do The Jerk!
Yes! And "A fish called Wanda".
Overboard. The best!
I feel like this movie and She-Devil are two of Meryl Streep's most underrated movies. Fantastic!
She stole Roseanne‘s man in that movie too
Yes! She Devil with Roseanne Barr. Also worth watching.
Glad you two reacted to this movie. It's an under appreciated classic! Robert Zemeckis, the director, also did all the Back To The Future movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump. Not a bad resume.
Zemekis was great in the 80s and 90s but I don't like his recent stuff.
@@RhetoricalThrill I totally agree. His recent stuff is just not up to par.
YAAAASSSSS!! *”Death Becomes Her”* is my all-time-favorite movie so I am _sooooooo_ excited that you boys are watching it!! (I’m pissed at TH-cam for not notifying me of y’all’s video sooner!!) There aren’t nearly enough reactions to this movie on TH-cam, so thank *God* for you guys!
The visual effects in this are probably really overlooked now but it was really groundbreaking stuff to have Goldie Hawn walking around with a hole in her and their bodies twisted the way they are. Robert Zemeckis's has been an innovative director in that regard.
They were so groundbreaking, they won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects over "Batman Returns" and "Alien³".
Bruce's big break came on Moonlighting which was simultaneously a private investigation show and an increasingly surreal RomCom. His character was very funny. He did Die Hard while on that.
Immortality sucks because if something kills off humanity, you're still alive, but truly alone.
And then you break your glasses
I love this movie so much! And I've found the more times you watch it, the more you notice the little things. Like when Ernest fell through the glass ceiling and survived!

Which, at most, healed his hand and the damage he'd done to his body from years of drinking. Didn't give him immortality, but it probably healed him back to pre-Helen, 15-20 yrs!
I never considered that. What an interesting thought!
First time I realized the play on words when they call each other “Mad” and “Hell” !
don't forget Ern; Mad Ern Hel...
The doctor did not pass out he died of a heart attack and they are trying to bring him back hence the paddles. A lot of this went over your heads. The guy with the girl by the swimming pool was Jim Morrison of the The Doors. Also there was Elvis and Howard Hughes just to name a few. They all took the potion.

So excited you guys are reacting or reacted to this movie aswell. It’s a top favourite of mine from this era
“What are these outfits?” That’s how people dressed in 1992, my dudes.
"Hudson Hawk" is another very weird and underrated Bruce Willis movie.
I remember seeing this in the theaters and being so awed by the FX.

Death Becomes Her and Juno are mine and my mother's favorite camp movies! Absolutely hysterical
Love the reaction, guys. This is a great satire on society’s obsession with youth and vanity. Also love the monkeydance.
I love this movie, it’s a permanent member on my all time favorites list.
That is called a feather boa that Meryl Streep is wearing. Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn are hilarious! Great review! I loved the scene with the doctor!
Fun fact: this movie was actually supposed to be one of the tales from the crypt movies, but they literally decided to make it a standalone.
I can really see that
I think there was one like this, it had Lea Thompson in it. I can’t remember the details but I remember her wanting to be beautiful and then she drank something and then her face decomposing throughout the show lol. It was one of my favorites! I need to look that one up. I only saw it one time but I remember the girl in it bc she was Marty’s mom 😂 and she was really pretty.
30:10 Originally Ernest floats at the bottom of the pool for awhile and then he wakes up and sees... the potionbottle's light. It never broke in the original version of the film. That's why the "Are you gonna be done soon or what?" goes nowhere... because originally Ernest replied: "Oh yeah, I'm gonna be done very soon.... and SO WILL ALL OF YOU!" and he then shows them the potion. You can even see him holding it in his left hand as he walks away (appearantly they didn't reshoot this shot). Then the whole 3rd act with Ernest rushing to his favorite bar and Toni (the cut character played by Tracey Ullman) happened. Sadly this was all cut when they reshot the ending.
The guy at the pool , "that was pretty neat" was Jim Morrison from The Doors
Do "She Devil" starring Rosanne next 🤣
Those guys at the castle were a part of an American game show called "American Gladiators" that was popular at the time. Men and woman gladiators would go up against everyday hereo athletes contestants. I remember names like: "Blaze, Atlas, Lace , Cyclone etc...😂😂😂😂
I don't know about the first guy, but the one Madeline sits next to went by Nitro on American Gladiators
Bruce Willis’ scream was the funniest thing ever
Guys, mad respect for actively searching movies others haven't reacted to. It's refreshing. I love this movie so much. Grew up watching it. The time jump is to emphasize their ageing. Loved your reaction 🤙
I recommend watching "My Girl" if you wanna react to another different movie.
Ever time I re-watch this movie I wish I could have more of it. I wish more movies felt like it, but its just such a unique fantastic movie haha
Love that you guys (Or Curtis 😂) chose this one. A classic for sure!! That ending is something else.
13:00 “Why she’s screaming?” She sees her own reflection in the mirror. It frightens her seeing her becoming old.
We watched this OFTEN growing up 😂
90’s camp at it’s finest!
I still remember when Meryl speaked about this movie. It was the first movie when she bring her mom to watch her and it was the scene with broken neck, she wear some green bag (or something similar) on her head for the trick. It was very funny.
The doctor was played by Sydney Pollack, better known as a director but showing his skill here as an actor - funnier in two minutes that some manage to be in two hours.
Pollack is in one of my favorite "Twilight Zone" episodes, "The Trouble with Templeton," as a play director.
It's a miracle! "A roller coaster of wtf is happening?!" Good one. This movie is so underrated. Thanks for reacting to it.
This film shows how amazing Bruce Willis is as an actor his range is not explored enough but in this he was so believable you forget this is John McClane
Man yall are killin it! The last month or so your reacts have been Great. Love watchin you guys watch the film while workin out the details of the story. Awesome reaction. 👍
Agreed love these guys their hilarious
One of the few films that keeps on getting better every time I watch it 👍👍👍
Omg yes when I was about 6 this with my mom and I was terrified for like 2 years. Thank God someone is reacting to this I haven't seen it since and was thinking about it the other day. Keep up the great work guys.
You guys should checkout “in too deep” and “love and basketball.” both starring Omar Epps
rEALLY nice old movie like many others from the 80s and 90s !
This is without a doubt one of the greatest underrated comedy horror films ever made as well as one of the greatest cult films of all time.
I know no one else is going to recommend this, but I’m a big fan of Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis, Andi McDowell, Danny Aiello, David Caruso, and a rare performance by Frank Stallone, Sly’s brother.
I love how you guys jam out to the musical scores in movies. LOL. Awesome.
Y'all should watch She Devil if you never have before. it's my favorite Meryl Streep movie
They used an actual Robot for the neck twist lol I love the practical affects
Y’all are always so fun. :)
And this movie… what a trip!!
Death Becomes Her is a long-time personal favorite. I first rented this movie at a West Coast Video (similar to Blockbuster) when I was around 9 years old, I think? No idea why my dad allowed it-maybe he forgot to check the rating. lol I just thought the cover of the VHS was hilarious looking so that’s why I grabbed it. DBH and Clue were both repeat rentals.😄
Additionally, I briefly spoke to Goldie Hawn about this movie when I saw her during a talk/comedy tour she did two decades ago. She was so entertaining and it was such an honor to have an exchange with her.
This was favourite movie as a kid, reminds me of spending happy times with my dad
Meryl Streep in this role was such a great surprise as such a departure from her serious Oscar winning roles she normally plays. Such a great film. Sadly alot of people don't know about it. It's one of my absolute favourites.
I use to watch this all the time when l was a kid. But l never noticed until a few years back that the person who was being resuscitated was the doctor (Sydney Pollak) that first examined her.
This movie is cool as hell, so unique
I never see any reactions to this movie and I loved it! It's one of my all time favorites and definitely underrated. It's great on the surface and only gets better the deeper you go.
Meryl Streep "taking control" of her family in She-Devil was drop dead hilarious. Here, she uses her talents for laughs and delivers. All three are perfectly cast, with Willis getting to show his acting abilities. Does Death Becomes Her fall into the ZomCom genre? They do mention The Living Dead of Hollywood.
Such a campy and hilariously dark movie Meryl streep and Goldie hawn were amazing especially Bruce Willis compared to the normal roles he does him as a bumbling timid character is funny
Oh baby this is such a great surprise. Love this movie. ❤
Wow I have only one vague memory of this movie and it’s when the one woman falls down the stairs and the stands up in the background. When I was 8 it FREAKED me out and I never knew the name of this movie until now 🤙🏻
This is a Top 10 of all time for me...I absolutely LOVE this movie because I feel like it perfectly encapsulates my humor
I've loved this movie since I was a kid. Glad you watched!
This brings back memories. My uncle used to love watching this. 😊
I’ve loved this movie since I was 12. I used to watch it every weekend. Also the guy that gives Madeline the business card was Fred in the movie Drop Dead Fred. That’s another movie you should watch. It’s so good and so underrated.
This is one of my favorite movies❤
omgomgomg, this was one of my favorites as a kid, i just watched it again last week, so glad you’re reacting to this iconic movie ☺️
This is such a good and underrated movie!
2 absolute queens🙌🏻👑
Lol, my favourite black comedy. Your reactions were precious!
The "worm on a string", gentlemen, is known as a "feather boa". 😁🤣
This movie will forever be gold.
YOU DID IT!! THANK YOU!! (it's vee!)
Another one of my absolute favorite movies EVER!!
OMG! I love this movie! I can't wait to see y'all's reaction! ❤️
Such an awesome movie....great in every possible aspect
You guys should watch "She devil", it's another "evil Meryl" movie, just as fun as this one
