@@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

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...
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.
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.

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.
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. 😳😳
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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!”

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.
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.
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.
How could ya not mention Angie Everhart as the Blockbuster clerk or how could you forget Professor Sub-Zero or Plain Zero from The Running Man as the henchman.
The kid is in the movie, but a movie doesn't usually follow the main characters seamlessly from start to finish. There are jump-cuts, skipped moments, next-day Etc. So when Danny isn't in the movie proper he is in the universe that these movies take place in

That "Two days till retirement" is a blatant reference to Lethal Weapon, they even do the little jazzy sax in the music.
A cle shay in a lot of cop movies. But most of the time the cop who is approaching retirement gets wasted.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 is correct.
Lethal Weapon is referencing a long tradition of cop movies.

It's "Cliche"

Which other cop movie?@@silvervalleystudios2486
I'm a school teacher finishing up a lesson on Hamlet and I didn't know that the Simpsons did a parody of it. I'm totally showing them it tomorrow.
"Franco Columbu, a bodybuilder Arnold knew". Are you joking?? He was Arnolds best friend. RIP
Best Man at Arnolds wedding.
But Arnie would know his best friend.
And the infiltration terminator with the glowing eyes
@@ReanimatorsMutilations He was probably the shortest terminator, so its a no brainer why Skynet used him as an infultrator unit.
Saw this in theatres and you could hear Jurassic Park dinosaurs roaring in the next theatre.
38:00 You forgot when Slater says "Iced that guy. To cone a phrase." 😆
I remember seeing this movie in theatres as a kid.
I think a self aware movie like this would do a lot better these days.
Yaa I saw this in theaters and I popped so hard when t1000 was in the police station
You want to be a farmer? Here’s a couple of acres.
Tony might have a point about Crystal not knowing how to say things. I wonder what Crystal's favorite "arches" of this movie were.
like ''smuck'' instead of ''shmuck''

I'm 52 nowadays and got to see this movie in theaters back then , plus still have it on VHS as well. Plus the Trading Cards too.

Every time Tony says he likes money it makes me think of Watto from Phantom Menace lol

I'm EXCITED for this one.
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.
Big Gun #1! ACDC forever!
…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!”
the "lost moments" are completely subjective... I love this film from start to finish.
the empty chamber in the gun is brilliant.
13:17 Tony Injury!🤣🤣🤣
The motorcycle outfit that the model is wearing at 40:11 is the same outfit seen in the George Michael video "Too Funky" at about 3:58.
1:01 booom! call the burn unit, we have a third degree here!
"Iced him, cone of phrase." 🤣🤣👌 beautiful one-liners in this movie
Yes! I requested for this one.

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.
I love the roller ball remake. It might just be nostalgia but I rewatched it after years, still loved it.
House blowing up scene always reminded me of Last Boy scout for whatever reason....also yall remember those badass burger king tie in cups?!?!?!
The C4 in the car trunk and the "shredder" shotgun shells in the fireplace.
I think a lot of people were expecting a straight action film.
Thats strange? I only watched Rental Reviews for Tony, thats the whole reason I'm subbed and a Patron now.

1:16:56 What? No. That would’ve been too corny if he said that. “ThAt’S mY lInE.” Lol.
40:40 Maybe they were planning a Jack Slater cinematic universe 🤭
Also if the T-1000 is real and the movie Terminator 2 starring Stalone exist as well im wondering what is the movie about
Best part of the movie. The sound track.
Great video!!! Definitely NEED to check it out now!

Great review. Crystal is hilarious. Thanks for everything.
A review of "Mandy" would be much appreciated.
It's not just "Jawls" instead of "Jaws." He just said "Flawled" two times in a row.
I noticed that too
The Running Man is fantastic, and you should totally review it.
Love this movie! Awesome to hear you talk about it! :D
The soundtrack absolutely bangs!!!!
I will defend last action hero to the death. I can't wait for this lol
the cop is the tree that was "2 days away from retirement" is a reference to the leathal weapon movies.
Mummy Cop was excellent and hilarious. I finally watched it and it was great. Keep up the good work Toni
You better talk bout the Sylvester Stallone Terminator you have in studio!
Legit almost uploaded the episode without including the close up of it and had to re export it

Arnold Schwarzenegger doing a parody of himself and having a blast at doing the best one-liners in one film, oh yeah last action hero is my jam.
I don’t think a lot of the mistakes or shoddy effects can really be considered goofs. It’s kind of the whole point of the movie.
Tom Noonan rules. He also has a small but excellent role in Heat.
One of my favorite movies! I think it was a fun idea!
Tom Noonan was also Frankenstein's Monster in The Monster Squad.
You should do an episode where you pick awful movies that you like/love just because you liked them as teenagers.
Oh, my gosh, Crystal! You're THE HOST now! Look at you just commanding the screen!
Another good episode guys keep it up
