That was good. It didn't click with me right away admittedly though because I didn't think Marion was that bad of a name to begin with. 😂 It was only after the Alice comment that I realized he was ashamed because it was a women's name.
4:40 - No, that was just a production mistake. Apparently, no one thought that the actor's boom mic taped under his shirt would be visible if said shirt was to be ripped off.
Stallone was originally supposed to be the lead in Beverly Hills Cop. He wanted a movie more like Cobra and the studio disagreed. They couldn't come to an agreement so he walked away and made Cobra. They hired Eddie and Beverly Hills Cop was very different than what Stallone wanted.
I think he made the wrong choice on that one, but hey, he did what he wanted to do. Beverly Hills Cop is on my watchlist as I have yet to see those movies.
@@JayBondReacts both are great for both actors.. BHC plays to Murphy's strengths.. And he sadly never got better than that entry. Cobra is great but just not in Stallone's top 5..I mean you have Rocky, Rambo, Copland, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man... Cobra just falls below those.. Great film.. but not as iconic.
"You're a disease, and I'm the cure." Fun Fact: A very rare workprint of the movie has circulated among fans. Although most copies are poor quality, it has 30 to 40 minutes of footage not available in any other version. It also has all of the X-rated material removed from the final release. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: The custom 1950 Mercury driven by Cobretti in the film was actually owned by star Sylvester Stallone. The studio produced stunt doubles of the car for use in some of the action sequences, such as the jump from the second floor of the parking garage. Down To Size Fact: At one point during filming, Sylvester Stallone complained to cinematographer Ric Waite that they were falling behind, and said he and his crew needed to work harder. Waite responded by saying that if Stallone "gets his hands off Brigitte Nielsen's ass and stops showing off to his bodyguards" they will make better time. Stallone was shocked that somebody would talk to him that way, but he toned down his ego for a few weeks. In an interview, Waite also said that Stallone had a great sense of humor, despite his huge ego. He also confirmed a rumor that Stallone was the true director of the film, calling credited director George P. Cosmatos a good producer, but a bad director.
Cobra is where Stallone's ego starts to get ahead of his acting 😅 Stallone loves to have a writing credit and tried to make so many script changes on Beverly Hills Cop that they bounced him. Those script elements, and a liberal dose of Paula Gosling's Fair Game, became Cobra - Stallone's too cool for school Dirty Harry meets Mad Max killer cop 😎 Nice Brian Thompson catch! His unique face is always great to see pop up and he has a great voice. Look for him in Alien Nation (a great 80's buddy cop with James Caan and Mandy Patinkin) and Fright Night 2 (88) when you get around to them.
It's wild that this is what he did instead of Beverly Hills Cop. It's unfortunate this didn't get popular though. It's got so many elements that should have made this successful. Alien Nation I may have seen as a kid, but I'm open to a reaction of that one and Fright Night I actually didn't know they made a sequel. I just googled it and they also made a sequel to the remake, wow! My aversion to vampire movies is showing. 😂
Cobra is one of my favourite movies from Stallone, i ve been waiting for a sequel for a long time now. The final fight is epic, this movie was heavily cutted in an interview Stallone said the workprint was at 2h10, if you want to see the deleted scenes search it on you tube, is here.
The bad guy Brian Thompson also had a sinister part in several episodes of "The X-Files." I think the one time I recall him being a good guy was in a TV series called "Key West" in 1993. It was part of the wave of short-lived shows about quirky towns and their residents that were kind of inspired by the success of "Northern Exposure." Thompson played a goofy sheriff often in a uniform with short shorts.
I think some of his one liners were more about what is both not being said, but implied, like when he responds to being told he has an attitude problem by saying that he just has a little one, implying that the guy who said it to him has a much bigger attitude problem than his. Also I so badly wanted that knife when I was a kid
"I need to see this. I GOTTA SEE THIS." -Jaymes Bond (1.34 hours later) "Listen...I may have made a mistake initially..." -Also Jay M Bond And obviously yes to Mr. Karl Urban's version of Judge Dredd. You will like it.
The Wraith I have yet to see. I've been trying to get the new Blu-ray for a while but it's so expensive to get in Canada. I know it's on Tubi but Tubi edits random movies for some reason.
I remember catching just parts of this movie when I was a kid at my grandparents house. It gained so much nostalgia for me cuz of that, always wanting to see the whole movie.
That's great! There have been a few movies like that for me. Cool World back in the day I'd only catch clips of and I'm not certain I ever watched the whole thing.
Great pull again, Jay. These movies were constantly on, in my youth. I can't wait to see what other movies from my youth I've even forgotten about. Here is one that a lot don't mention but IS one of my favorites. Miracle Mile (1988). Stars Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham, and yes, also Brian Thompson and Kelly Jo Minter. It is a story you've maybe never seen before, at least I've never seen it's equal. Hopefully.
According to some people who reviewed the movie, they had to cut a lot of parts out mainly due to Sly wanting to rush this movie out before another action flick came out the same week And some of the killing scenes were also heavily cut due to the MPAA, one of the scenes that was found was when the axe gang killed the first woman they severed her hand and sent the hand to the police station as a to taunt the cops, the janitor scene was supposed to be more brutal along with the nurse who got dragged under the gurney I think the movie itself was supposed to be 2 hours long but due to Sly wanting to rush the film out to compete with another action flick (that was coming out on Friday) they cut most scenes but it did well at the theater
Funny how he make his diet by eating a small cut-piece of pizza. Yeah, agree with your lines there, "I'm not a pig, I'm a cobra." Yeah, they should put that in the script.
I remember seeing that crazy knife with the spikes for sale in catalogs like Atlanta Cutlery. They had like 2 or 3 different sizes. I think the one they are using here is actually the smaller one.
I would call Cobra Sly's answer to Dirty Harry. Funny the villain from that film, the infamous Scorpio (Andrew Robinson) plays The antagonist cop against Cobra. Stallone was originally cast in Beverly Hills Cop but wanted to edge the gritty action elements.. when he left that he took those elements to create Cobra.
Andy Robinson Who played Monte also played Scorpio the villain in the first Dirty Harry movie starring Clint Eastwood as San Francisco inspector Dirty Harry Callahan. In fact, I always heard that Cobra was kind of Stallone’s ode to Dirty Harry, which makes me wish there was a Rambo meats Dirty Harry movie out there. I figure with the right script it could work:)
Oh awesome! I haven't seen Dirty Harry but plan to do a reaction at some point. I need to dive into some Clint Eastwood. I've wanted to see Gran Torino but I should work my way up. 😂
@@JayBondReacts Gran Torino was excellent and so are his westerns, but I was always partial to Dirty Harry for kind of inventing the whole rogue cop thing like John McClane in Die Hard, or Riggs in Lethal Weapon. The first three were made in the 70’s, and 70’s San Francisco definitely had a vibe. The first one is loosely based on the real life Zodiac Killer ala Andy Robinson, as Scorpio. Also Reni Santoni who plays Stallone’s partner in Cobra also plays Dirty Harry’s partner in the first one. A lot of critics didn’t really know how to take Dirty Harry. Pauline Kael called him a fascist or something like that, then in the sequel, he’s taking on a group of vigilante cops who try to recruit him, and the third he’s working with a Black Panther leader to take down a terrorist group. So, he’s kind of a multi-faceted character. And it definitely captures that lovely 70’s vibe of San Francisco, perfectly:)
A very underwatched Stallone film in a similar vein to this one is Nighthawks, filmed between Rockys 2 and 3, co-starring Billy Dee Williams (just post-Lando) and Rutger Hauer, in, I think, his US debut, just before Blade Runner.
It's nostalgic for me, just cause of watching it as a teenager growing up. It's worth watching for pure entertainment, plus the call out to the comment about the match in Deadpool finds a home! "I eat very small pieces of pizza." Had me rolling!!! Love your reactions!!! To be fair, 3 bullets to the chest would do the trick! Lol.
There's another cheesey 80s hidden gem movie called 'Stone Cold'. Nothing to do with Austin 316 lol, it's a cop infiltrating a biker gang movie. The star was a football player, Brian Bondsworh or something like that.
Oh yeah and when I said earlier about Brigitte Nielsen being an actress she also was in one of the Beverly Hills Cop I saw that you did Beverly Hills Cop 1 so just to let you know she's just not just everyday chicks she actually was in movies and a model
I think things were on the fringe - the one liners were good but not memorable. The attacks were tv movie of the week quality. When Cobra said they have someone on the inside, since we didn't see many other cops, it was easy to figure out who that was. If a reviewer had this on their polls it would take a while to win or even be in consideration
Agree completely. It is something that I'd probably watch again had I seen it a long time ago but I can't see myself watching it again at this point. Some fun moments though.
I think you are the first reactor doing _Cobra_ , I say… About time! . You must also do the two following Sylvester Stallone's classics, _Over The Top_ (1987) and _Nighthawks_ (1981).
Here’s everything that was supposed to happen The first murder victim having her throat cut and hands severed; An Asian American child delivers a wrapped present to the LAPD office as instructed by one of the members of the New World. As the officer tells the child to stay, he proceeds to unwrap the present only to discover traces of blood coming from the box. The officer answers a phone call from one of the members of the New World, who speaks a cryptic message of the murder victim's hands inside the box; More dead bodies in the autopsy scene, including lingering shots of naked and mutilated bodies of murdered women; The New World's day jobs as welders, carpenters and fish market employees and cleaners, which were originally part of the "Angel of the City" sequences. These were cut and replaced with the scenes of the New World doing a routine workout ritual as seen in the film's opening; An extended death scene for Ingrid's photographer Dan, in which he is hit several more times with axes and attempts to escape, only to slip on his own blood and fall down in a puddle of it before being finished off with even more hits; The scene in which the Night Slasher tries to kill Ingrid in the hospital was cut down for pacing and content. The deaths of the janitor and nurse were originally shown onscreen and a scene where a police guard outside Ingrid's room is killed by the Night Slasher was also cut. A later scene where Cobretti mentions the officer's death to Monte was cut to maintain continuity, which as a result made the editing of that scene choppy; More scenes of the townspeople (including the motel owner and diner waitress) being killed during the climax, including a scene in which one is hit in the face with axe; two of these death scenes appeared in 1990's TV versions of the film, but with most of the more graphic shots removed; Graphic close-ups of the Night Slasher's wound after he is impaled on the hook; Cobretti repeatedly forces the hook deeper into the Night Slasher as he screams in pain; After the demise of the Night Slasher, Cobretti and Ingrid leave the factory but before they can exit, countryside police intervene wherein the sheriff demands from them of what took place in the factory.
Bond, Jay Bond...lol You should definitely watch the Judge Dredd remake, Dredd, starring Karl Urban. I personally like it better than the original, which is unusual. Many people say it is closer to the modern comic...look forward to your reaction!
The photographer look it up he sledgehammer TV show funny as hell and the girl that was being photoed name was Brigitte Nielsen she was a model in real life an actress
I prefer to think of Brian Thompson from Buffy the vampire slayer. He was in 5 episodes. 3 as a the vampire Luke in season 1 and then recast as The Judge in season 2 for 2 more episodes.
Btw: Doctor Mordrid originally started as an official Doctor Strange film.. But they lost the rights to it.. It's a bit cheesy but actually a decently good early 90s film and one of the few with Jeffrey Combs as a straight up good guy and not the strange villain or just weirdo. Lol
Yes! I rarely find anyone else that has seen that movie. After watching this, I met Brian and had him sign a Dr. Mordrid print. I did a fun video with my buddies about Dr. Mordrid on a non-reaction channel I have, more of a breakdown/riff: th-cam.com/video/Ae3_BE2kQRk/w-d-xo.html
Haha If only I could do that. I'm typically pretty bad with faces but I have a couple different TH-cam channels covering horror and b-movies so I see obscure people more often yet I probably wouldn't recognize someone popular. 😂
I may have mentioned this before, but I'm friends with Steven de Souza, who wrote Die Hard, as well as Sly's Judge Dredd (technically). He's told me the whole story behind that flop. Not pretty.
The Dirty Harry parallels continue (and if you haven't seen it, PLEASE do yourself the favor!): not only is this a blatant attempt at making another Dirty Harry, not only does the film co-star Andrew Robinson and Reni Santoni from DH, but Brigitte Nielsen's photographer with the robots is David Rasche who, a few months after the release of Cobra, would star in a sitcom spoof of DH called Sledge Hammer.
When you said the betrayer who you referring to because if you're talking about the lady that's running with the bad guy she never betrayed anyone and if you talking about the one that's the bestest alone is protecting she never betrayed anyone she saw a murder and that's why he protecting her so who were you referring to that's all I'm trying to figure out and by the way have you ever done one with the the Terminator series
This film had a cool concept but it falls short for me because they didn't give the bad guy anything interesting. He doesn't talk really. No real motivation. If they gave him some character the film would have improved immeasurably.
Sorry to keep commenting but on a motorcycle the throttle is on the right, so you pretty much have to be a lefty to shoot off a bike. Even then everything on a bike is balance.
I'll be honest, when this film first came out in theaters I walked out about halfway thru, I just found it way too cheesy, took itself too seriously with no self-awareness, and Stallone had apparently started believing his on-screen alpha persona was actually real, lol. Over the years I've found it a bit more tolerable but still not something I would intentionally seek out and watch. At any rate, I found it a disjointed strange film then, and that has not changed.
Haha That's totally fair. That is what's weird about this one, it doesn't seem self aware. Watching Commando, you can tell they knew what they were doing but here it's kinda fuzzy.
Yup, it is! I looked it up after I saw Rambo 2 cause I recognized the last name. Mandy had its moments. I wasn't the biggest fan but perhaps that was because it was pretty hyped up so I expected something different.
Thay tried to get some Dirty Harry vibes with those two actors, his buddy and the asshole boss.. The asshole boss was supposed to be with the bad guys too, but theyd ropped it. The movie was much gorier and much longer but sadly cut down.. :(
I need that gorier cut! It was so noticeable that they cut early on everything. Tone down the slasher aspect, while maintaining the action stuff. I kinda get it but damn.
@@JayBondReacts It´s never been released sadly.. Might not even exist anymore.. :( But there were loads cut, apparently.. Hopefully one day, they fix it? It has happened to other movies.. Yeah, some things are weird in the movie because of it.
Can't believe I didn't recognize Monte. Larry Cotton! I watched Hellraiser like 3 weeks ago too. 😂
Red Sonja (1985) ❤❤❤
Poppie was a little sloppy in that last scene.
th-cam.com/video/M2Aqpk-avec/w-d-xo.html
Also he played scorpio in Dirty Harry
Also he's in Child's Play 3 and if you were a Star Trek: DS9 fan he played Elam Garak..
Dude, no matter what kind of guy you are, you do get involved with Brigitte Nielsen if the chance arises...
Had this on VHS as a kid in the late 80😂❤ I love that you watch these underrated 80-90 movies
Thank you!
“I would have rather had a tougher name.”
“Like what?”
“Alice.” 😂
That was good. It didn't click with me right away admittedly though because I didn't think Marion was that bad of a name to begin with. 😂 It was only after the Alice comment that I realized he was ashamed because it was a women's name.
4:40 - No, that was just a production mistake. Apparently, no one thought that the actor's boom mic taped under his shirt would be visible if said shirt was to be ripped off.
No way, seriously? 😂
I never noticed it until now lol
Half the movie is the bad guy sharpening his knife 🔪. Surprised there's anything left of that knife.
Brian Thompson was also in Terminator. He's the one who got his heart ripped out by Arnold at the beginning.
Stallone was originally supposed to be the lead in Beverly Hills Cop. He wanted a movie more like Cobra and the studio disagreed. They couldn't come to an agreement so he walked away and made Cobra. They hired Eddie and Beverly Hills Cop was very different than what Stallone wanted.
I think he made the wrong choice on that one, but hey, he did what he wanted to do. Beverly Hills Cop is on my watchlist as I have yet to see those movies.
@@JayBondReacts both are great for both actors.. BHC plays to Murphy's strengths.. And he sadly never got better than that entry. Cobra is great but just not in Stallone's top 5..I mean you have Rocky, Rambo, Copland, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man... Cobra just falls below those.. Great film.. but not as iconic.

Jay Bond ...You're welcome!
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Cobra is where Stallone's ego starts to get ahead of his acting 😅 Stallone loves to have a writing credit and tried to make so many script changes on Beverly Hills Cop that they bounced him.

The bad guy Brian Thompson also had a sinister part in several episodes of "The X-Files." I think the one time I recall him being a good guy was in a TV series called "Key West" in 1993.

music in these movies so good.... on my speakers at work pretty often ♩ ♬ ♩ ♬ and no one complains
I don't recall anything about this movie, except the bad guy Brian Thompson sharpening his knife at multiple scenes.
That image composition at 9:02 with the Night Slasher in the car mirror is so cool. Then again, I'm a bit of a fan of this movie in general.

Over the Top is on my list and I'll look into Nighthawks. Thanks!
I’d recommend “Oscar”, “Over the Top”, “Lock Up” and “Tango & Cash” for more Stallone. Of course the “Rocky” series is also great.
LockUp is criminally overlooked... Oscar is fun for a change of pace.. Love the 30s mobster era farce.
Brian Thompson (huge jaw) is in everything
I really like the Karl Urban Judge Dredd movie. definitely 4 silent shrugs out of 5.
It was said in the 80’s models ate only ketchup , well condiments …
Here’s everything that was supposed to happen
The first murder victim having her throat cut and hands severed;
An Asian American child delivers a wrapped present to the LAPD office as instructed by one of the members of the New World. As the officer tells the child to stay, he proceeds to unwrap the present only to discover traces of blood coming from the box.

The New World's day jobs as welders, carpenters and fish market employees and cleaners, which were originally part of the "Angel of the City" sequences. These were cut and replaced with the scenes of the New World doing a routine workout ritual as seen in the film's opening;
An extended death scene for Ingrid's photographer Dan, in which he is hit several more times with axes and attempts to escape, only to slip on his own blood and fall down in a puddle of it before being finished off with even more hits;
The scene in which the Night Slasher tries to kill Ingrid in the hospital was cut down for pacing and content. The deaths of the janitor and nurse were originally shown onscreen and a scene where a police guard outside Ingrid's room is killed by the Night Slasher was also cut. A later scene where Cobretti mentions the officer's death to Monte was cut to maintain continuity, which as a result made the editing of that scene choppy;
More scenes of the townspeople (including the motel owner and diner waitress) being killed during the climax, including a scene in which one is hit in the face with axe; two of these death scenes appeared in 1990's TV versions of the film, but with most of the more graphic shots removed;
Graphic close-ups of the Night Slasher's wound after he is impaled on the hook; Cobretti repeatedly forces the hook deeper into the Night Slasher as he screams in pain;
After the demise of the Night Slasher, Cobretti and Ingrid leave the factory but before they can exit, countryside police intervene wherein the sheriff demands from them of what took place in the factory.
Nice, thanks! I'm shocked TH-cam didn't block this comment. It's blocks so many more for way less. 😂

The photographer look it up he sledgehammer TV show funny as hell and the girl that was being photoed name was Brigitte Nielsen she was a model in real life an actress
The novie was originally given an x raring they trummed a few scenes to get the R the deleted scenes are on the blu ray

Btw: Doctor Mordrid originally started as an official Doctor Strange film.. But they lost the rights to it.. It's a bit cheesy but actually a decently good early 90s film and one of the few with Jeffrey Combs as a straight up good guy and not the strange villain or just weirdo. Lol
Yes! I rarely find anyone else that has seen that movie. After watching this, I met Brian and had him sign a Dr. Mordrid print. I did a fun video with my buddies about Dr. Mordrid on a non-reaction channel I have, more of a breakdown/riff: th-cam.com/video/Ae3_BE2kQRk/w-d-xo.html
Dude, the 2012 Dredd movie is awesome sauce. You absolutely have to watch it you will love the sh!t out of it.
iloved that car chase ad how he wrecks the cult people but i mostly love the car
Dude! Do you watch these movies on something that says who the actors are on the screen? Or you recognize more faces than anyone I have met lol
Haha If only I could do that. I'm typically pretty bad with faces but I have a couple different TH-cam channels covering horror and b-movies so I see obscure people more often yet I probably wouldn't recognize someone popular. 😂
I may have mentioned this before, but I'm friends with Steven de Souza, who wrote Die Hard, as well as Sly's Judge Dredd (technically). He's told me the whole story behind that flop. Not pretty.
Not a cold one. It's a room temperature Coors. Why would anyone do that to themselves? Lol
The Dirty Harry parallels continue (and if you haven't seen it, PLEASE do yourself the favor!): not only is this a blatant attempt at making another Dirty Harry, not only does the film co-star Andrew Robinson and Reni Santoni from DH, but Brigitte Nielsen's photographer with the robots is David Rasche who, a few months after the release of Cobra, would star in a sitcom spoof of DH called Sledge Hammer.
Right on! Dirty Harry is on my list for sure as I only recently found out it wasn't a western hahaha For some reason I just wrote it off in my head.
@@JayBondReacts It's brilliant, and Andy Robinson is terrifying.
Such a cheesy classic. And when it's on tv I'll stop on it until a commercial every time.
Jay.... IF YOU WATCH IT... THEY WILL COME!! Lol
Not based on the numbers, no one's watching this. 😂
@@JayBondReacts Lmao.. Ok.. Fair enough! Well.. at least I watched and enjoyed! 😋
Cop Land is super underrated by Sly
Especially if they're not seasoned very well
Cool 80s movie.. :)
When you said the betrayer who you referring to because if you're talking about the lady that's running with the bad guy she never betrayed anyone and if you talking about the one that's the bestest alone is protecting she never betrayed anyone she saw a murder and that's why he protecting her so who were you referring to that's all I'm trying to figure out and by the way have you ever done one with the the Terminator series
The next movie has to be Pacific Rim or Ready Player one 😎
Ive always liked this movie. It's kind of a slasher movie.
Absolutely! The Night Slasher in the hospital scene could easily be in a horror movie.
I love a lot of ketchup on my fries
Classic movie
Great Movie but for the R-rating they must do many Cuts to get it.
Stallone is awesome
This film had a cool concept but it falls short for me because they didn't give the bad guy anything interesting. He doesn't talk really. No real motivation. If they gave him some character the film would have improved immeasurably.
Should check out national lampoons loaded weapon. Awesome funny movie
That's on the list but I need to watch Lethal Weapon first. 🤭
@@JayBondReacts there’s a lot of references to many movies.
@@marxamusd1739 Oh I imagine but I at least need to see the main one. I'll have to scan something and see what I should see first.
@@JayBondReacts for sure man. Love your content man!
hey Jay, where is Silent Bob? ..... Over the Top is a good Sly movie
Literally just walked out of Clerks 3, so this timely. 😂 Over the Top is on my list for sure!
@@JayBondReacts clerks 3 is that bad?
@@alanneel1369 No, I just came out of the theater. 😂
@@JayBondReacts ahh
If you haven't already check out HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN
Glorious 80s cheese
Sorry to keep commenting but on a motorcycle the throttle is on the right, so you pretty much have to be a lefty to shoot off a bike. Even then everything on a bike is balance.
Good to know. Thanks!
I'll be honest, when this film first came out in theaters I walked out about halfway thru, I just found it way too cheesy, took itself too seriously with no self-awareness, and Stallone had apparently started believing his on-screen alpha persona was actually real, lol. Over the years I've found it a bit more tolerable but still not something I would intentionally seek out and watch. At any rate, I found it a disjointed strange film then, and that has not changed.
Haha That's totally fair. That is what's weird about this one, it doesn't seem self aware. Watching Commando, you can tell they knew what they were doing but here it's kinda fuzzy.
i could be wrong but i think the son of the director made Mandy with nick cage
Yup, it is! I looked it up after I saw Rambo 2 cause I recognized the last name. Mandy had its moments. I wasn't the biggest fan but perhaps that was because it was pretty hyped up so I expected something different.
That wasn't The AXE DANCE watch Kung Fu Hustle and you'll see the REAL AXE DANCE.
Nice, that one is on my list!
I, for one, never liked this movie, though I am fond of a film Sly released just after, which most people hate: Over the Top.
I love both... And Over the Top gets way too much hate.. But a fantastic soundtrack.
@@mcgilj1 Meet Me Half Way is fantastic. For my money, a far better Loggins song than Danger Zone.
Hello
Hello!
Thay tried to get some Dirty Harry vibes with those two actors, his buddy and the asshole boss.. The asshole boss was supposed to be with the bad guys too, but theyd ropped it.
The movie was much gorier and much longer but sadly cut down.. :(
Oh Hell Yeah! Dredd is a master-piece, watch it!
I need that gorier cut! It was so noticeable that they cut early on everything. Tone down the slasher aspect, while maintaining the action stuff. I kinda get it but damn.
@@JayBondReacts It´s never been released sadly.. Might not even exist anymore.. :(
But there were loads cut, apparently.. Hopefully one day, they fix it? It has happened to other movies..
Yeah, some things are weird in the movie because of it.
It's pronounced Mo-eh as it's French...just in case you ever get offered some and want to appear classy.
I know you mean well, but I pronounced it correctly. All top results on Google confirms mow-ett is the right way.
