Hello, i am new to your guy's channel, great reaction i have always enjoyed this movie, i think marisa tormei won a Oscar for this movie . Toni was funny glad she said she enjoyed it. Thanks very much. I have been watching since jaws on your guy's channel. Thanks a lot. Greetings from south Africa ❤😀😎👍👍👍 nice one
10:20 To answer that question, there is no set limit to how many times you can take the bar exam (except 11 states and DC, where you will need to be given special permission to retake depending on the #), it does not affect a candidate's eligibility, and should be known folks should not use that as a judgement, i myself know a few good lawyers who had to take the exam multiple times.
One of my favorite things about the film is that, while it appears at first glance that the whole town is against these outsiders, in reality, everyone is just living their lives and are actually really nice. The three witnesses end up demonstrating exactly why eyewitness testimony can be very questionable in court-memories are faulty and vision can be obscured. The cops seriously believe that the kids did the murder. The judge is just a stickler for protocol in court, but nothing too far out of the ordinary. The prosecutor actually likes Vinny, and is charmed by his story of how he decided to go to law school. Those fond farewells at the end are all authentic. The only truly malicious antagonist here is the pool hustler trying to dodge paying off his debt.
And it's also a movie where two guys, who look strikingly like our two young fellows, are driving nearly the exact same car, happen to decide to kill the clerk at the store where the other two had *just* shopped. And where a novice lawyer could stall the confirmation of his bona fides for an inordinately long time, even for 1990s Alabama. (And we won't even get into how or why Lisa would be with "My Dad Vinny"). So overall, quite a believable Hollywood script. 😉
What about the juror who said "Fry 'em!"? If a potential juror said that during a typical jury selection, she would've been dismissed for being too prejudiced against the plaintiff, but the lawyer happily accepted her. That doesn't sound so "nice" to me. 😒
"It is possible that the two yutes..." "...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?" "Uh... what word?" "Two what?" "What?" "Uh... did you say yutes?" "Yeah, two yutes." "What is a yute?" "Oh, excuse me, your honor... Two YOUTHS." I love this movie. There's no real bad guy in this movie (except if you consider the real murderers) and once the innocence of Bill and Stan becomes clear, all charges are dropped. Fun Fact: The misunderstanding between Vincent Gambini and Judge Haller (Fred Gwynne) regarding the two "youts" was in fact a real conversation between Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn. Lynn, who is British, at first had a hard time understanding Pesci's pronounced New York accent. He decided that the routine was quite funny and put it in the film. Wise Owl Fact: According to director Jonathan Lynn, the eastern screech owl in the scene in the woods was a real owl that had a little prior training so it wouldn't be scared away by the gunfire. The crew got it to open its mouth by giving it little pieces of beef, and artificially induced screeches were added to the film in post production. The owl's reaction to Vinny (Joe Pesci) shooting the gun was authentic and needed only one take. Law Enthusiast Fact: Director Jonathan Lynn actually has a law degree and insists the film's legal proceedings be realistic. In fact, many attorneys and law professors have praised the film for its accurate depiction of trial strategy and courtroom procedure, especially with regards to presenting expert witnesses at trial. In fact, the film has been screened at some law schools to illustrate courtroom procedures. The American Bar Association's publication, the ABA Journal, ranked the film #3 on its list of the 25 Greatest Legal Movies.
FINALLY!!! A comedy!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 What is absolutely crazy is that scenes from this movie and from the movie Legally Blonde are shown in law schools to show accurate courtroom procedure and process. And they are both comedies! Go figure! I’m glad you both liked it! I very much enjoy this movie and watch every reaction to it that comes across my recommendations feed! I hope Toni is able to watch more comedies on here! 🤞🏻🙏🏻🍀 💙💙💙
I've been pushing for somebody to do a reaction to "The Frisco Kid," a 1979 Western comedy with Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford. One of my favorites, but it often gets overlooked.
This movie is practically a quote-fest in a courtroom. What's even more amazing is the replay value somehow, when you already know the outcome. "Two Yoots!"
Hey guys. Being a New Yorker who lives in the country, I can really relate to this flick. Can't get decent pizza or Chinese food anywhere! 🤣 The judge is the great Fred Gwynne, who played Herman in The Munsters. Regards from Illinois!!! ✌&❤
100% agree. I live in Boston and we use to get good Italian food. Now there is maybe two or three really good places. When I use to visit clients in New York the assortment was dramatically larger. I miss coming into Penn Station and having a wide mix of pizzeria's and hole in the wall to grab a slice. Chinese food DEFINITELY takes a hit when you leave the West Coast or North East. My boss and I did a software deployment in South Dakota. She had a desire for some Tiramisu. The hotel raved about this local Italian restaurant. I told her we are in the middle of nowhere are you sure? We went. The Tiramisu was yellow angels food cake, with puff custard in the middle. No rum. Vanilla frosting with the name of the restaurant spelled in coco on the top. She did NOT live this story down.
Whoa! Never had grits??? OMG! I was raised in the south, and grits are a staple! And they're yummy to boot! Some people drown them in butter, but I think that they're best with just a small amount of butter and add some salt & pepper to taste. A couple of drops of bacon grease in the pot of grits helps too. Marisa Tomei was, is, and always will be a Goddess! There's just something about her that most men find attractive, but it's difficult to explain. She's like a force of nature, but friendly and approachable. At least that's what she portrays in her work.
Which location is your first choice for yummy grits and they can't be your own. Goddess?!? I'll never be able to match that!! I thought I could get an outfit with shoulder pads and big glasses and make David's day. 😂 - Toni
@popculturallychallenged the best grits are usually found at a southern "Mom & Pop" local establishment. But as far as franchise eateries goes, Cracker Barrel really has pretty good grits for the most part. You won't need the big glasses & shoulder pads necessarily. I think that her charm lies within her confidence and her positive attitude, along with her infectious, genuine smile. You can do that easily! 👍
What is left out of this movie is Cousin Vinny knew everything about these cars that Mona Lisa Vito did. After all he knew to send the sheriff after the Tempest before her testimony so he knew everything she did.
finally, someone else catches that error. we have no reason to believe Vinny knows enough about cars to catch the problem with the tire marks, let alone, knowing exactly what kind of car made them
I didn't see it as an error, it's just a subtle mention that's easy to overlook. When Lisa first bails him out and they're taking about procedure, he says he couldn't go to court and watch because of working in her father's garage so I had always assumed he learned about cars the same way she did, with hands-on experience.
@@BigJohnLXV I am sorry you are incorrect. When asked what he has been doing for the last six years regarding the bar Vinny clearly says he has been working at the gas station helpng Lisas father out. My point was only he knew as well as her it was not a mistake of the movie that he knew. just something they never really made clear at the end
@@laniesullivan2605 The error was, if you want to call it an error, he didn't need to get Lisa to testify he could have gotten the same info from the attorneys client. The guy was aware of everything Lisa and Vinny were aware of he admits she is right. However as a movie it made perfect sense to call her for that great scene.
One of those movies that never gets to old to watch. It came out the same year I graduated High School. And I LOVD it then and STILL Love it, today. Plus, not only is it funny, it is STILL talked about in some Law Schools today. They were, ARE impressed so much, that they still used it to talk about specific things that are or are not allowed in court. Plus, Mona Lisa Vitto. She did an AMAZING job in this movie. Great Post.
Something to keep in mind that everyone seems to miss about the ending is that, everything that Lisa figured out and testified to Vinny figured out himself. The reason he needed her help is that he could not testify about why the tire tracks could not have been made by his cousin's car, so he needed her to be his "expert" to give the information that he had figured out.💯👍
@@dudermcdudeface3674 True...but the FBI witness might not have had as much general knowledge as Lisa, so Vinny would have had to work a lot harder to get the FBI guy to get him to say the things he wanted him to say, and not lead the witness and have to deal with a lot of objections. But you're absolutely right about the reason for the scene to be written with Lisa...it is just such a great scene.👍
yep. he even then convinced the sheriff to run the trace on the pontiac tempest, i assume by telling the sheriff that the REAL killers might still be out there.
Not true. Vinny could have gotten anything he got from Lisa from the attorneys witness. The attorneys witness admitted everything Lisa said was true so he was aware of what she said. He just had never been shown the photos or considered whether they could have been made from the car in question. He was called to testify about only one tire mark not the suspension.
I think Karate kid was over 30 in this movie, but he looks very young. Marisa Tomei nailed it and won Oscar. Nice reaction on this great comedy. If you haven't watched I think you'd like "Three billboards outside Ebbing", which also got 2 Oscars for acting. Thx for sharing.
One of my favorite movies. It's good to see Toni laughing, and not crying or jumping out of her skin, like she did with Jaws. You two should watch Airplane, it a great comedy, non stop comedy. Some of the jokes are dated, but still funny. The judge Fred Gwynne and Joe Pesci were actually really good friends in real life. David, why did you say Toni wouldn't like Mona Lisa (Marisa Tomei) ?
@@popculturallychallenged I can relate. I had an ex girlfriend who hated everyone I thought was pretty. I'm dating myself here, but she was so bad, that I couldn't even watch Bay Watch on its original run. But glad with you and Toni it's just a running joke.
Whew!!!!! A movie without tears for your poor wife!!! (Funny but as I wrote this you said no tears for her!!) Cute movie!!!! Glad to see Joe in a non mafia bad guy role!!!
It's just as nice to see Toni laugh as to cry at some really emotional scene. I think you guys need to do more comedies. :) Thanks for brightening the day.
Some facts about this movie the scene with the owl took only 1 take and the scene where joe pesci knocks over the chess pieces wasn't scripted and when the guy stutters if you look closely in the background you can see the 3 at the table trying to stay in character
Fantastic reaction, infectious laughter throughout. Really great to see some lightheartedness on the channel. Hope to see more every so often 👍. Please add to the list of movies with comedic elements if you haven't seen already: Captain Ron Curly sue Dirty rotten scoundrels Nacho libre Sister act 1&2 A fish called Wanda Crocodile Dundee 1&2 Naked gun series Airplane Life Four lions Blazing saddles
Yes, finally another movie from y'all that I love. I really like y'all, been waiting for another movie I've seen. It's crazy, this movie is actually used in law schools for its authenticity for courtroom procedure. And this was Fred Gwynn's (Herman Munster), the judge, last role before he died.
Had to stop watching another video to see this as soon as I saw it was uploaded. You folks are gonna love this one. The Judge is played by the late great Fred Gwynne, who played Herman Munster on the TV show The Munsters. And go easy on him...his first experience of Vinny was to be disrespected by him putting his feet on the Judge's desk...and Vinny not knowing the procedures after the Judge gave him the book was also another huge slap since the Judge actually wrote that book he gave to Vinny, if I am not mistaken. ✌😁 And no...it is not true that the minimum age for execution is 10...as far as I can tell, Alabama has never executed anyone who was under 16 at the time that they committed the crime that got them the death penalty, but that is based on a very quick search.
Awww Toni.... First, as much as I love your ugly crying... it was so nice to see you smiling and laughing so much. Wonderful movie! And wonderful reaction as always. 😊
I especially love how the grits scene-played as a simple throwaway “culture clash” joke early in the film-turns out to be a major plot point later on. The jail cell misunderstanding is objectively in terrible taste but somehow still works.
It's because it was a somewhat believable fear of Stan's and Vinny was honestly confused at what the heck is wrong with this guy. Why would he ever think that this is just feeding Stan's fear? He was just being a 90s New Yorker
That's a writing rule ( example ) if there's a gun in the room, it should be used ( otherwise why did you put a gun in the room? ). And they made the point of how long it took to cook it.
I couldn't survive watching a comedy with David, I might crack a rib from laughing at his infectious laugh. Great reaction to a classic. The best to you, your family and the folks in the comment section.
Law schools use this as an example of a movie that gets everything right. Every time I need cheering up, here you are! Toni? Don't let him watch The Wrestler (2008). If I remember right, John F. Kennedy, Jr. passed the bar on his 13th try. A lawyer can take the bar exam as many times as needed. An M.D. can take the medical licensing exam over and over. Your brain surgeon may have failed it 5 times. But a Ph.D.? I learned the hard way, fail twice and you're gone. Forever. You might wish to see Ralph Macchio in The Outsiders (1983), based on the popular YA novel by S.E. Hinton, also starring Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, and Emilio Estevez, directed by Francis Ford Coppola who did The Godfather saga. It was his big break before The Karate Kid.
I also love the little subversion of expectations-the audience is set up to assume the woman who said she saw the defendants wasn’t wearing her glasses at the time (thanks to another famous courtroom drama), but it turns out she was…but her prescription was too weak. I also love how that’s the only time where the judge, who’s otherwise extremely stern & unforgiving, admits he made a mistake and apologizes to Vinny.
@popculturallychallenged sad but true. They targeted black youths. George Junius Stinney Jr. was 14 when he was executed, and is now known to be innocent, as the accuser admitted they lied. It is Alabama. It's not surprising, really.
About the judge. (Fred Gwynne). There was a comedy TV show in the 1960's. The Munsters. The person that played the judge was Herman Munster in that TV show.
Something I love is that when the prosecutor turns back to his expert witness as Lisa wraps up her testimony, you can pretty clearly read the expert's lips as he says, "She's right."
The actor playing the sheriff, Bruce McGill was also in the classic comedy "Animal House" (1978) and is best known for his role as the police sergeant in the detective series "Rizzoli & Isles"
That's what I've seen him in! Animal House! I always remember him from an episode of Miami Vice called "Out Where The Busses Don't Run". One of my favorites from that show. 😃 -David
@@popculturallychallenged he's done lots of 1-episode roles on TV shows, but for some reactions with Bruce McGill, you might also watch "The Last Boy Scout" (1991) Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans, Halle Berry. Action + comedy the "Reacher" (2022) streaming series, based on the Jack Reacher detective novels "Cliffhanger" (1993) Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, Michael Rooker. Action. Not a great movie plot-wise IMO, but good action and nice mountain visuals
McGill is also known for the recurring role of Jack Dalton in the original "MacGyver" series, and for his notable appearances in the first and last episodes of "Quantum Leap."
I was blown away when I learned that Ralph Macchio was 22 years old when playing Karate Kid and 30 years old in My Cousin Vinny. I am not surprised to hear Toni say that he hasn't changed much.
Reminds me of when a newspaper once took a poll of NYC cops and asked them what the most realistic police show on TV was. The winner by a landslide was "Barney Miller."
As someone who grew up in NYC i can attest to the issues sleeping in suburbia. I live in MD now it probably took me 3months to get used to sleeping in quiet.
It was hilarious watching you laughing at Pesci describing what's going to happen to Stan, to his consternation; then looking over at Toni, with a concerned look on her face. :)
David has all sorts of movie girlfriends.... I get a little jealous at times and show it.. at least they aren't real girlfriends. 🤣 (at least I hope not) - Toni
Grits..you add butter..maybe a slice of cheese..even sugar or syrup..it is ground white corn..can’t let grits sit ..have to eat right away..they get thick after about ten minutes…
Toni's idea about the napkin was a good one. I gotta go get one before I start the reaction. The thing about Marisa Tomei in this wasn't that she was gorgeous...it was that she was gorgeous and a kick-a** mechanic, much to the surprise of the prosecution. I loved how they took the whole movie to finally let her exhibit her chops at the end. Take that, prosecution! :)
For anyone who was a kid in 90's and watched MacGyver, seeing the Sheriff will make you lose your shit. He played Jack Dalton (the pilot guy), MacGyver's shady friend. He is still rocking the same moustache.
FUN FACT. THE JUDGE IS PLAYED BY THE LATE ED GWEN. HE STARRED IN THE 60S SITCOMS, 'THE MUNSTERS', 'CAR 54, WHERE. ARE YOU?' THE movie, THE WATERFRONT, And in the Original PET CEMETERY.
The man who played the bailiff in "Night Court" was Richard Moll. I couldn't believe it when I looked this up, but Richard Moll was 6'8", two inches taller than Fred Gwynn.
Not to many people age as well as Ralph Macchio. He's 61yrs old now...Also that's Fred Gwynne as the Judge. Best known for Herman Munster. For us kids who only knew him as that, it was great to see him in this role, and his reactions to Pesci really make this film.
@@popculturallychallenged Good genes is good genes. However, I'm sure those hands have stayed mighty clean over the past 40+ years. It's not like they've had to work a shovel for a living :)
I love the jail scene when Vinnie first shows up. The hotel scenes are great where he’s not able to sleep until he decides to stay in jail for the night. The scene where he knocks over the judges chess board wasn’t scripted. Joe Pesci accidentally knocked it over so they kept it in. Once Vinnie got in the groove with the witnesses was great. It’s funny watching him when Mona Lisa is describing why the car wasn’t the correct car. All the hand signals was funny. I don’t understand why he’s moping about Mona Lisa helping him win the case when he had the sheriffs help to win the case. The judge in this movie is Fred Gwenn who played Herman Munster in the old Munsters tv series and movie.
Toni if you’ve only seen Ralph Machio in this and Karate Kid you have to take time and watch THE OUTSIDERS. A very young cast of future stars like Machio, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Emelio Estevez, C Thomas Howell, and of course Diane Lane ❤️❤️❤️
If you both are interested there are 2 really funny movies that were made by a group of 5 Canadian comedians. The movies are called super troopers 1 and 2
I'm so happy Toni got to see Joe Pesci in a good guy role. They do exist! 😅 Joe Pesci actually started his career off as a musician and a singer and I think it's such a shame no one ever exploited for any of his parts. Someone should write "Whiplash 2" and have him play the teacher! lol.
@Callmekylie I wouldn't say that. None of those characters are "good guys", that's one of the things that's so great about the movie. He was a hot head who wouldn't pay his 7grand bill and beat the restaurant owner for asking to settle the tab, he shot Spider (twice), he stupidly took out a made guy......he was a scumbag.
I like how he's nice to Mrs. Riley instead of embarrassing her.
That was nice. 🙂

The prosecutor was a stand-up guy. As soon as he realized that he was prosecuting two innocent yoots, he dropped the charges.
I really like the prosecutor! Yeah, he’s a bit of a showboat, but he is really sincere and appreciates Vinny as a person and fellow litigator.
I liked that too! They weren't trying to screw these kids over. They were more interested in the truth.

He could have just recalled the FBI witness to the stand. But then we'd miss out on that great scene.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 True...but the FBI witness might not have had as much general knowledge as Lisa, so Vinny would have had to work a lot harder to get the FBI guy to get him to say the things he wanted him to say, and not lead the witness and have to deal with a lot of objections. But you're absolutely right about the reason for the scene to be written with Lisa...it is just such a great scene.👍
yep. he even then convinced the sheriff to run the trace on the pontiac tempest, i assume by telling the sheriff that the REAL killers might still be out there.
Not true. Vinny could have gotten anything he got from Lisa from the attorneys witness. The attorneys witness admitted everything Lisa said was true so he was aware of what she said. He just had never been shown the photos or considered whether they could have been made from the car in question. He was called to testify about only one tire mark not the suspension.
Great point!
I believe Ralph was in his early 20s in Karate Kid. He also won Dancing with the Stars. 😃😃
I didn’t realize he was on Dancing With the Stars! 😀
Ralph was 31 during this movie and 22 during the original karate kid and 23 the year it came out
I think Karate kid was over 30 in this movie, but he looks very young. Marisa Tomei nailed it and won Oscar. Nice reaction on this great comedy. If you haven't watched I think you'd like "Three billboards outside Ebbing", which also got 2 Oscars for acting. Thx for sharing.
I looked it up and Marissa Tomei was around 3 years younger than him! He definitely aged well!
Toni they're from New York, If you ever drive in New York or Boston you'll see they don't pay attention to any lines on the road.
I’ve driven in Boston once and remember it was quite the experience. Never driven in New York though. Thanks for the heads up! 😀
One of my favorite movies.
It's good to see Toni laughing, and not crying or jumping out of her skin, like she did with Jaws.
You two should watch Airplane, it a great comedy, non stop comedy. Some of the jokes are dated, but still funny.
The judge Fred Gwynne and Joe Pesci were actually really good friends in real life.
David, why did you say Toni wouldn't like Mona Lisa (Marisa Tomei) ?
It’s a running joke with me and Toni. Anyone that she knows I think is pretty she hates. 😂 Same thing happened for The Rocketeer. 😂
@@popculturallychallenged I can relate. I had an ex girlfriend who hated everyone I thought was pretty. I'm dating myself here, but she was so bad, that I couldn't even watch Bay Watch on its original run.
But glad with you and Toni it's just a running joke.
No crying in this one.. I guarantee!
This was a fun one! 😀
Marisa Tomei earned every bit of that Best Actress in a Supporting Role Academy Award 🏆
She was great in this! 😀
Did she tho
No she didn't, she gave head that's how she got it
Whew!!!!!
A movie without tears for your poor wife!!!
(Funny but as I wrote this you said no tears for her!!)
Cute movie!!!!
Glad to see Joe in a non mafia bad guy role!!!
This was a fun one! We’re hoping to get more comedies in. 😀
Joe Pesci’s best acting is a very non-mafia guy in With Honors. Check him out in that.
Toni needs this movie
This was a welcome change! 😀 -Toni
It's great seeing Toni laugh again after Band of Brothers #9 . . .
Thank you! 🥰
@@popculturallychallenged For some more laughs, check out What's Up, Doc (1972), with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal.
Loved your review and comments. Marrisa Tomei won the Oscar as best supporting actress for this film.
Thank you so much!
It's just as nice to see Toni laugh as to cry at some really emotional scene. I think you guys need to do more comedies. :) Thanks for brightening the day.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! We’re planning on trying to add more comedies into the mix. 😀
Some facts about this movie the scene with the owl took only 1 take and the scene where joe pesci knocks over the chess pieces wasn't scripted and when the guy stutters if you look closely in the background you can see the 3 at the table trying to stay in character
Cool! Thanks for the info! 😀
@@popculturallychallenged yep
Fantastic reaction, infectious laughter throughout. Really great to see some lightheartedness on the channel. Hope to see more every so often 👍.
Please add to the list of movies with comedic elements if you haven't seen already:
Captain Ron
Curly sue
Dirty rotten scoundrels
Nacho libre
Sister act 1&2
A fish called Wanda
Crocodile Dundee 1&2
Naked gun series
Airplane
Life
Four lions
Blazing saddles
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it! We're hoping to add more comedies as well. Thanks for the suggestions! 😃
Yes, finally another movie from y'all that I love. I really like y'all, been waiting for another movie I've seen. It's crazy, this movie is actually used in law schools for its authenticity for courtroom procedure. And this was Fred Gwynn's (Herman Munster), the judge, last role before he died.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀 That’s so funny that this is used in law schools. 😂
Fred Gwynne
Had to stop watching another video to see this as soon as I saw it was uploaded. You folks are gonna love this one.
The Judge is played by the late great Fred Gwynne, who played Herman Munster on the TV show The Munsters. And go easy on him...his first experience of Vinny was to be disrespected by him putting his feet on the Judge's desk...and Vinny not knowing the procedures after the Judge gave him the book was also another huge slap since the Judge actually wrote that book he gave to Vinny, if I am not mistaken. ✌😁
And no...it is not true that the minimum age for execution is 10...as far as I can tell, Alabama has never executed anyone who was under 16 at the time that they committed the crime that got them the death penalty, but that is based on a very quick search.
Fred Gwynn was great in this. The whole cast was top notch! This was a fun one! 😀
Awww Toni.... First, as much as I love your ugly crying... it was so nice to see you smiling and laughing so much. Wonderful movie! And wonderful reaction as always. 😊
Thank you so much! 🥰
I especially love how the grits scene-played as a simple throwaway “culture clash” joke early in the film-turns out to be a major plot point later on.
The jail cell misunderstanding is objectively in terrible taste but somehow still works.
The jail scene was crude but you’re right, it somehow worked. 😂
It's because it was a somewhat believable fear of Stan's and Vinny was honestly confused at what the heck is wrong with this guy. Why would he ever think that this is just feeding Stan's fear? He was just being a 90s New Yorker
That's a writing rule ( example ) if there's a gun in the room, it should be used ( otherwise why did you put a gun in the room? ). And they made the point of how long it took to cook it.
I couldn't survive watching a comedy with David, I might crack a rib from laughing at his infectious laugh. Great reaction to a classic. The best to you, your family and the folks in the comment section.
I love David’s laugh!!! So glad you enjoyed!! - Toni
grits are best with butter, cheese, chopped bacon, sauted mushrooms, and an egg over-easy
That actually sounds really good. I’m hungry now. - Toni😊
Finally a movie with no tears ❤ lol
It was so much fun!! - Toni 😊
I just LOVE❤Her reaction to When They First Meet VINNY!!?
Okay the next comedy you guys need to watch in Blazing Saddles
Thanks for the suggestion! 😃
That "jump-punch" to the guy who wants to fight gets me giggling every time... lol
Yeah, it looked like he launched himself! 😂
It was nice to see Toni smiling and laughing. You could tell she really enjoyed it. I can watch this movie anytime, just an all-time classic comedy.
Thank you! This was a lot of fun! 😃
Law schools use this as an example of a movie that gets everything right.
Every time I need cheering up, here you are!
Toni? Don't let him watch The Wrestler (2008).
If I remember right, John F. Kennedy, Jr. passed the bar on his 13th try. A lawyer can take the bar exam as many times as needed. An M.D. can take the medical licensing exam over and over. Your brain surgeon may have failed it 5 times. But a Ph.D.? I learned the hard way, fail twice and you're gone. Forever.
You might wish to see Ralph Macchio in The Outsiders (1983), based on the popular YA novel by S.E. Hinton, also starring Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, and Emilio Estevez, directed by Francis Ford Coppola who did The Godfather saga. It was his big break before The Karate Kid.
Might have to add The Wrestler to the list. Never seen it! 😂 -David
I also love the little subversion of expectations-the audience is set up to assume the woman who said she saw the defendants wasn’t wearing her glasses at the time (thanks to another famous courtroom drama), but it turns out she was…but her prescription was too weak.
I also love how that’s the only time where the judge, who’s otherwise extremely stern & unforgiving, admits he made a mistake and apologizes to Vinny.
Good points! 😀
My favorite part in the entire movie is Marisa Tomei's nod/sneer when the prosecutor questions her having worked as a mechanic.
😂 - Toni
"It's not that old."
Thank you for that.
You’re welcome!! - Toni 😊
I think you guys will love GLORY 1989. AMAZING MOVIE. Keep up the great work
Thank you for the recommendation. Adding it to our list now. - Toni
When Joe Pesci knocked over the judge's chess pieces that was an unscripted act of clumsiness on Pesci's part that was kept in the movie
Cool! Thanks for the info!
There is no minimum age for execution in Alabama, but in 2005 the Supreme Court ruled that juveniles could not be executed. So, it was worse than 10.
OMG, really? - Toni 😢
@popculturallychallenged sad but true. They targeted black youths. George Junius Stinney Jr. was 14 when he was executed, and is now known to be innocent, as the accuser admitted they lied. It is Alabama. It's not surprising, really.
About the judge. (Fred Gwynne). There was a comedy TV show in the 1960's. The Munsters. The person that played the judge was Herman Munster in that TV show.
Thanks!
And before "The Munsters," he played a bumbling cop in "Car 54, Where Are You?"
Don't be too hard on him Toni, every straight guy in the country (and a few women) fell in love with Marisa Tomei after this movie was released.
Ok, I’ll give David a pass this time….. not that I really want to but he did introduce me to Russel Crowe. - Toni
The mark of a good movie is that you can watch it more than once and enjoy it.
I wouldn’t mind watching that again. It was fun!! - Toni 😊
"The Distinguished Gentleman" Eddie Murphy
Thanks for the suggestion!
That was good, but my favorite Eddie Murphy movie has to be "Trading Places," also starring Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Something I love is that when the prosecutor turns back to his expert witness as Lisa wraps up her testimony, you can pretty clearly read the expert's lips as he says, "She's right."
I noticed that too. LOL - Toni 🤓
The actor playing the sheriff, Bruce McGill was also in the classic comedy "Animal House" (1978) and is best known for his role as the police sergeant in the detective series "Rizzoli & Isles"
That's what I've seen him in! Animal House! I always remember him from an episode of Miami Vice called "Out Where The Busses Don't Run". One of my favorites from that show. 😃 -David
@@popculturallychallenged he's done lots of 1-episode roles on TV shows, but for some reactions with Bruce McGill, you might also watch
"The Last Boy Scout" (1991) Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans, Halle Berry. Action + comedy
the "Reacher" (2022) streaming series, based on the Jack Reacher detective novels
"Cliffhanger" (1993) Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, Michael Rooker. Action. Not a great movie plot-wise IMO, but good action and nice mountain visuals
McGill is also known for the recurring role of Jack Dalton in the original "MacGyver" series, and for his notable appearances in the first and last episodes of "Quantum Leap."
I was blown away when I learned that Ralph Macchio was 22 years old when playing Karate Kid and 30 years old in My Cousin Vinny. I am not surprised to hear Toni say that he hasn't changed much.
Ask any Lawyer what’s their favorite movie and 9 times out of 10 they will say this movie. 😂
😂
Reminds me of when a newspaper once took a poll of NYC cops and asked them what the most realistic police show on TV was. The winner by a landslide was "Barney Miller."
Marissa won the academy award for best supporting actor.
Oh cool! Thanks!
Yeah and it was totally undeserved too
"Breakfast?" "You think?" My favorite part of this whole amazing movie.
😂
Fred Gwynne playing the judge had once been the father Herman in "the Munsters" show.
Thanks!
Well done peeps, you both needed some smiles and laughs! Take care.
Thank you!! We had fun with this one. - Toni
As someone who grew up in NYC i can attest to the issues sleeping in suburbia. I live in MD now it probably took me 3months to get used to sleeping in quiet.
I’m so glad you have adjusted. - Toni 😊
It’s great seeing Toni laugh
Love u guys❤️❤️
Thank you! We had a good time watching this one. - Toni 😊
It is very interesting to see your detailed reaction to the trilogy of Star Wars. This is a cool immortal classic 👍🔥🔥
Thank you for the recommendation. I have watched some of the Star Wars but we will see what we can do. - Toni ☺️
In any case, it will be interesting to see your reactions to these films, even if you have already watched them. I'll be waiting for them 😉
It was hilarious watching you laughing at Pesci describing what's going to happen to Stan, to his consternation; then looking over at Toni, with a concerned look on her face. :)
I noticed that too while editing the video. 😂 -David
Marisa so earned her Oscar with this role.
She was great in this! 👍
Marissa and Joe are perfect in this!
“Your girlfriend.” 🤣❤️
David has all sorts of movie girlfriends.... I get a little jealous at times and show it.. at least they aren't real girlfriends. 🤣 (at least I hope not) - Toni
Director also did Nuns on the run which is very funny.
I enjoy your reactions.
Thank you so much for watching with us. SO glad you enjoyed. - Toni 😊
LMAO... ever time he laughs at Marissa he's going to feel the wrath!! 😅😂
Grits..you add butter..maybe a slice of cheese..even sugar or syrup..it is ground white corn..can’t let grits sit ..have to eat right away..they get thick after about ten minutes…
Love your honest reactions. Much success to you both.
Thank you so much!
Toni's idea about the napkin was a good one. I gotta go get one before I start the reaction. The thing about Marisa Tomei in this wasn't that she was gorgeous...it was that she was gorgeous and a kick-a** mechanic, much to the surprise of the prosecution. I loved how they took the whole movie to finally let her exhibit her chops at the end. Take that, prosecution! :)
That was a great scene at the end. 😃
anyone who doesn't fall in love with Marisa Tomei's character in this movie is dead inside!
I think David just loves her period. - Toni 😏
Great Reaction!
Thank you!! 😀
For anyone who was a kid in 90's and watched MacGyver, seeing the Sheriff will make you lose your shit. He played Jack Dalton (the pilot guy), MacGyver's shady friend. He is still rocking the same moustache.
I feel like I watched MacGyver but don’t recall the sheriff. - Toni 🥰
FUN FACT. THE JUDGE IS PLAYED BY THE LATE ED GWEN. HE STARRED IN THE 60S SITCOMS, 'THE MUNSTERS', 'CAR 54, WHERE. ARE YOU?' THE movie, THE WATERFRONT, And in the Original PET CEMETERY.
I don’t think I have seen any of those except The Munsters. I thought he was in Night Court but I was wrong. - Toni
⚖️ You have a 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 laugh! 😹
David does have a great laugh!! - Toni 🥰
The man who played the bailiff in "Night Court" was Richard Moll. I couldn't believe it when I looked this up, but Richard Moll was 6'8", two inches taller than Fred Gwynn.
Oh wow! Thanks!
Judge... Herman Munster.
Thanks!
That was fun!!
It sure was! - Toni 😊
I prefer cheese 'n grits. Just mix some shredded cheese into your grits and mmmm.....
We’re gonna have to try grits now. 😂
Not to many people age as well as Ralph Macchio. He's 61yrs old now...Also that's Fred Gwynne as the Judge. Best known for Herman Munster. For us kids who only knew him as that, it was great to see him in this role, and his reactions to Pesci really make this film.
Yeah, Ralph and Tom Cruise seem to have found the fountain of youth. I want some!
@@popculturallychallenged Good genes is good genes. However, I'm sure those hands have stayed mighty clean over the past 40+ years. It's not like they've had to work a shovel for a living :)
I just thought of a movie while watching this with you guys. You should watch The Outsiders. All star cast and a great movie.
Sounds good!! We will add it to our list! Is it funny? - Toni 😊
Alabama has Alexander Shunarrah as a personal injury lawyer. He has billboards all over the state.
We'll have to look him up! 😃
Nice reaction! - Mike the Ginger
Thanks Mike! 😀
I love the jail scene when Vinnie first shows up. The hotel scenes are great where he’s not able to sleep until he decides to stay in jail for the night. The scene where he knocks over the judges chess board wasn’t scripted. Joe Pesci accidentally knocked it over so they kept it in. Once Vinnie got in the groove with the witnesses was great. It’s funny watching him when Mona Lisa is describing why the car wasn’t the correct car. All the hand signals was funny. I don’t understand why he’s moping about Mona Lisa helping him win the case when he had the sheriffs help to win the case. The judge in this movie is Fred Gwenn who played Herman Munster in the old Munsters tv series and movie.
This movie had so many great moments didn't it? :)
It was truly an entertaining movie and very accurate on the legal side.
Toni if you’ve only seen Ralph Machio in this and Karate Kid you have to take time and watch THE OUTSIDERS. A very young cast of future stars like Machio, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Emelio Estevez, C Thomas Howell, and of course Diane Lane ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a great cast!
Baby Driver, Clueless, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Ferris Beuller are all great comedies
Thank you for the recommendations! We have added them to our list! - Toni 🥰
Sheriff Farley is D Day from Animal House
If you both are interested there are 2 really funny movies that were made by a group of 5 Canadian comedians. The movies are called super troopers 1 and 2
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm so happy Toni got to see Joe Pesci in a good guy role. They do exist! 😅 Joe Pesci actually started his career off as a musician and a singer and I think it's such a shame no one ever exploited for any of his parts. Someone should write "Whiplash 2" and have him play the teacher! lol.
He’s actually a character in the musical Jersey Boys because he hung out with Frankie Valli et al back in the day.
@Callmekylie I wouldn't say that. None of those characters are "good guys", that's one of the things that's so great about the movie. He was a hot head who wouldn't pay his 7grand bill and beat the restaurant owner for asking to settle the tab, he shot Spider (twice), he stupidly took out a made guy......he was a scumbag.
Before the channel, I only knew Pesci from the Lethal Weapon movies. Mob movies are a genre that we're both lacking in. 😂 -David
Austin Pendleton doesn’t get enough credit for his role as the stuttering attorney
He was great. I didn’t see that coming. - Toni 😊
❤Mz. Toni,
You better Not get Sad & Cry... O.K...! 😅It is Funny, Mr. Dave, remind Her?😂
