@@silvervalleystudios2486 is correct. Lethal Weapon is referencing a long tradition of cop movies. Introducing Murtaugh the way they did was leaning into the trope as hard as possible.
My head canon: he’s transported to the movie being played by the ticket, not all copies of movies. The parts where they interact with other characters is like the in between cuts that you don’t see when they teleport. So they enter a kinda cinema shared world before all going back to their individual movie plots

Last Action Hero is meta, before meta was a thing. Confusion about "movie world" versus "real world" is understandable, here's my theory: Danny isn't from our reality, he's in "Last Action Hero world" and Jack's from "movie within a movie world". Fantastical things exist because we're watching a movie that has Danny as a character.
I love this movie. I like the parody of the Action movie cliques while being entertaining. This movie and Alien 3 were my introduction to Charles Dance. Plus, the soundtrack rocks.

Its weird to think Justin wouldnt want you in too many episodes back to back. I am someone who has listened to everything from rental reviews, the cinemassacre podcast, talk about games and hack the movies. And as a fan of everyone involved in all of the productions it is frustrating to keep seeing projects start up and then stop suddenly. I am glad this show seems to be sticking around at least.
There should be a film where Tony is pulled out of the fictional Hack the Movies universe. His powers of internet stardom and popularity greatly diminished, Tony would have to meet the real world Tony, a humble immigrant pizzeria owner with a dream of singing opera for the queen. By helping the real Tony achieve his dream (and enjoying some pizza pie along the way) Tony just might be able to find his way back to the video store.
Are you saying he'd... hack movies. If Arnold cost 15 Million..... Imagine how much Tony would?! I mean obviously unlike this movie.... it'd be the biggest most critically and financial success of all time.
@@petewadesays12 well, it is a Tony picture. The merchandise alone will make him rich(er) beyond our wildest dreams. We're talking Tony Happy Meal toys, Tony lunch boxes, Tony spaghettios etc...
The butler is Professor Toru Tanaka. Pro Wrestling legend in Japan and WWWF/WWE and all over the world. He played Snider's bodyguard in "3 Ninjas" also.
A parody that was ahead of its time for most. One of my more watched movies as a teenager. Probably because I was right around Danny’s age when this came out.
This has always been one of my favorite movies, I was 14 when it came out in theaters and I thought it was just another action movie so the fact it was a parody had me laughing throughout the entire film. It was a pleasant surprise. Seeing Sylvester Stallone as the Terminator made the movie for me. Another part I've always loved is when Arnold is telling his Daughter, next he's gonna tell you he loved you in Gone With The Wind. I've often quoted that line when I hear someone give someone else a compliment.
Action hero Tony & Femme Fatale Crystal are chilling out at HACK THE JACK SLATER talking about "Last Action Hero." All before Benedict Justin uses the ticket to bring the cast of Swamp Zombies 2 & Mummy Cop out here.
I think it's how there are a lot of wacky references to other movies in eighties action movies, a lot of things that wouldn't really make sense if you thought about it, but it just is in that movie.
33:44 I am probably wrong but always thought that trope came from lethal weapon. Cuz Murtagh had like 2-3 days left til retirement even tho he doesn't die in the movies, obviously.
I always had a theory that the "real world" was actually just _another_ movie world. Only it was the more gritty, realistic movie world of things like Taxi Driver or Mean Streets as opposed to the glossy 80s/90s action movie world that Danny travels to.
So guess this is a rental renew. I actually enjoyed your rental redos on the fifth element with Johanna, Tony the super famous person from hack the movies
The actor who played the police chief basically played the same character in several movies. The 48hr movies, Loaded Weapon and this. He was PG in this one but he was still the same police chief always yelling and cursing. lol
…chew on this “I got the California Raisins cast is doing an all-male version of The Diary of Anne Frank doing the all-male version in my frizza sibba!”
Love this movie and it's definitely of its time. Mentioning how Arnold is self-deprecating and isn't afraid to look silly, if you haven't seen it, check out the music video for Big Gun by AC/DC from the films soundtrack to see Arnold dressed up like and duck walking around the stage with Angus Young.
If they were to make a sequel to this movie they could easily have somebody come by and find the ticket that fell out front of the movie theater and then it doesn't start working until present-day however all that person might be
They talk about how some effects looked bad but not a single word about the absolutely amazing practical effects and the even more incredible stunt work??? My god...
The actor you were referring to played Odd Job in Goldfinger. Actually look up the actor who played Random Task. He was a busy boy since appearing in Austin Powers. 😳😳
I remember when this came out when I was 10ish, my Mum took me to the cinema because she was as much a Schwarzenegger fan as I was and we had so much fun.
The Night of the Living Dead reference was probably for the Savini remake - recently released at the time and a Columbia release which would make more sense.
The movie would have been a hit if it was promoted better, and set up as Arnold's final action movie. Put it out a month before Jurassic park or a couple months after with that time to promote it a bit and it would be gold. And this episode more than any other, Crystal is distractingly hot.
That famous stuntman's name is *Al "Ka Bong" Leong.* He's been in Big Trouble in Little China, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (as Genghis Khan), Die Hard, They Live and many others.
I watched Heat the other day. Very well scripted movie. Great characters. Great storyline. But I find that Michael Mann can be a little like Kubrick. His films can get slow and poetic at times.
The actor played sub zero in running man, and was part of the wwf as Professor Toru in the 80s. Not odd job, also not Joe Son (former mma fighter) who was the Austin powers dude. Who is in prison for life (horrible crimes) plus got an extra 27 years for murdering his cell mate.
Last Action Hero is such a FANTASTIC satirical take on the action genre. No cliche is left unturned, no action scene is too over the top, the one liners are here aplenty, impossible feats are done every other 10 minutes, etc. It also has an all around tremendous cast. Schwarzenegger, Tom Nonan, F. Murray Abraham, Charles Dance, Bridgette Wilson, Art Carney (in what would be his final role), Anthony Quinn, Robert Prosky, and tons of cameos from famous actors like Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell, Robert Patrick as the T-1000, Tina Turner, Jean Claude Van Dam, Jim Belushi, Damon Waynes, Danny Devito, Sir Ian McKellen, and more. Personally I thought the critics were WAY off on this one. Definitely one of my favorite Arnold films.
Tony is the Commando of the Last Action Hero who is always in Red Heat at The 6th Day of the month and causes Collateral Damage every Jingle All The Way. There is no Escape Plan for these True Lies.
Tony got a Raw Deal from the studios because the see him as a Junior in the entertainment industry and although he's no Running Man he can hunt down a good script with the tenacity of a Predator and no matter how much the studios Sabotage him he can withstand all that Collateral Damage making Batman and Robin combined look like a Kindergarten Cop.
I feel like a Hack the Movies pet would be a parrot the randomly screeches during the shoot. It could be words or just parrot screech. Then it just flys around and poops around the set
I love this movie. Great soundtrack too. I think it bombed back then because there weren’t many satires on action movies. People had no idea how to take it. I think that now that people are fully aware of what it is trying to be it is getting more of a fan base.
Crystal was the perfect person to review this. Approximation of what she said "this isn't my favorite genre but I gave it a try" this is how you get honest reviews.
I was eating dinner and suddenly kieran is talking about how nasty his body is. His description made me sick and i may not recover. I love LAh. I just got done watching half of commando. I LIED. classic.
I always thought that the "movie verse" was based on what Danny knew from his experiances with movies. Explains why he is familiar with all of the extra referances that only he understands.
went ahead and looked it up since i was curious as well... according to wikipedia, arnold schwartzenegger's highest earnings for a single production is Terminator 3 at a wopping $29,250,000! just shy of Mel Gibson's $30,000,000 for Lethal Weapon 4
It was also his first flop. Speaking of Arnolds salary I think he took 40 mil plus a small box office percentage for Batman and Robin. He demanded 30 mil for T3 and got it. He hasn't made anywhere near that since his comeback to movies in 2011. But I'm sure he's not crying poor.

A cle shay in a lot of cop movies. But most of the time the cop who is approaching retirement gets wasted.

"Franco Columbu, a bodybuilder Arnold knew". Are you joking?? He was Arnolds best friend. RIP

Saw this in theatres and you could hear Jurassic Park dinosaurs roaring in the next theatre.

like ''smuck'' instead of ''shmuck''
Idk why Tony gets so much hate. I love your show man, keep up the great work buddy!!

Easily my favorite parody movie of that decade. if they could do it right I think a sequel would be pretty neat in the form of a reboot parody.

the "lost moments" are completely subjective... I love this film from start to finish.

They advertised this movie on a rocket. Mind you, the launch was delayed until after release but, they tried.
You better talk bout the Sylvester Stallone Terminator you have in studio!
