I loved Johnny Dangerously, laughed a lot and still quote the movie. I don't think it was just because I was little either. I liked Micky and Maude as well. Its funny because there are women I think are very pretty now that I didnt so much as a kid. For instance, I thought Micky was beautiful but not so much Maude. But as an adult I say they are/were both gorgeous. I just looked up the movie and Mickey didn't age too good.
Both Cagney & Robinson were doing fun gangster movie parodies in between the serious stuff back then. I'm thinking of 'Lady Killer'( 1933) & 'Brother Orchid( 1940)...
I was about 13 when Johnny Dangerously came out. I thought it was funny then, and watching the clips still makes me laugh now. I think they're both taking the movie too seriously. If you look at it as a parody of a gangster flick, of course it's going to look ridiculous. Most of the humor has nothing to do with the gangster genre, though. It's pure slapstick. It's not meant to be overanalyzed.
They were professionals who have seen so many different kinds of movies from so many generations, more than the average person sees in their lifetimes. They know pretty much every single formula and trope. Why would they feel the need to pander to the lowest common denominator viewer? This is why they got to have a television program, because their arguments for movies were always insightful.
@@RocStarr913 Probably. But, in this instance, it's Johnny Dangerously. They're critiquing it like it's Gone With the Wind. It's meant to be slapstick humor.
i was 12 in 84 i LOVED the film Birdy back then, its one of those films. one of those many films that i always feel like literally nobody but me remembers existed. its back when i actually liked Nic Cage and thought he was cool. well before he became the walking meme actor that does weird cheesy bad films and over acts that he is now.
I'm glad a lot of people have discovered the hilarious stupid fun of "Johnny Dangerously". Movie critics are usually overly harsh on these kind of movies, hopefully not because they are "fargun iceholes".
Johnny Dangerously is a classic underrated Comedy movie.
Johnny Dangerously is one of my favs.
Johnny Dangerously is still being watched today. I know cause I just did.
I loved Johnny Dangerously -- it's a classic. Birdy was a fine movie as well.
Birdy is amazing and has one of the best endings in cinema history
RIP DUDLEY AND ANN.
Johnny Dangerously is a classic. Agree to disagree on this one.
Matthew Modine before VisionQuest & Kubrick:)

Birdy is a lot better than Birdman
You shouldn’t do that. Two hacks gave my movie two thumbs down once…once.
I was too young to understand Mickey and Maude I was only 12. It's not a film that could be made today I don't think.
A passage to India 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟
Micki & Maude 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟
What wet blankets they were. Who doesn't love Johnny Dangerously?
I watched John Dangerously once once ?
Thank you
They probably didn't like MAFIA! either

I think it would've been better had Mel Brooks worked on it. You had some people from his school involved but not him.
They were always like this with their reviews. Anything they thought was great, I hated. Anything I loved, they gave a thumbs down.

@@kcmaldonado3948 That’s likely because your taste in movies is basic.

Birds is a good movie.
Siskel and Ebert are just wrong about "Johnny Dangerously."
ANALYZE THIS came along to prove Gene wrong, also MARRIED TO THE MOB, though they aren't straight parody.

LOL, the irony: their review of Johnny Dangerously itself was slow and tedious to get through.
Johnny Dangerously was silly.
suppose to be silly its a parody spoof movie
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 Okay, I get your point. Some spoofs are better than others.

You want to hump your brains out, Ba-Boom Ba-Boom Ba-Boom.
These guys really pissed me off sometimes. Good thing we don't have to hear them open their c - holsters ever again.
They were professionals who had very insightful and entertaining opinions who never pandered to their viewers.
