That's crazy! Auto-theft is pretty rare with most modern vehicles, due to all of the technology is cars today. I won't ask any details or anything but that's very weird. Sounds almost like it was a targeted crime, typically people just want to take whatever is inside a vehicle and then leave.
"You son of a b!tch!" Holly Hunter kicks off one of the best comedic chases in cinema. The entirety of the yodeling chase is top tier from start to finish. As funny as Cage is, I adore Hunter in Raising Arizona. She's cute as a button and her line delivery is just delightful.
When they were starving young artist, Holly Hunter used to room with Frances McDormand, who plays the loud-mouth friend and is married to Joel Coen brothers. Four Oscar awards between two former roommates. That's craziest former roommate story sense Tommy Lee Jones roomed with Al Gore at Harvard. And Robert Duval and Dustin Hoffman roomed together in NYC.
The song she’s singing to the baby is an old American folk murder ballad called “Down in the Willow Garden” and also sometimes known as “Rose Connelly”. The Coen Bros are huge fans of American folk music.
Man...this movie probably hit cable in '89, when I was 7 years old, and it was one of those "if it's on, we watch it" movies at my house. We'd quote it all the time, and my sisters and I used to run around with my mom's pantyhose over our heads. But even then, the one thing that really elevated the movie for me was the depth provided by the more tender moments, like H.I.'s monologues and the dream sequence at the end. Almost like a class clown strolling up to the front of the room and sharing a beautiful poem.
I saw it four times in the movies. It is one of the loudest audience reactions I ever experienced. Coen's knocked it out of the park and brought it home with Hi's dream at the end. Still one of my favorite comedies ever, top ten for me.
"If not Arizona, then a land not too far away where all parents are strong and wise and capable and all children are happy and beloved. I don’t know. Maybe it was Utah"
The one time that I was in physical pain from laughing so hard was when I saw this movie in a theater -- my stomach hurt from laughing so much, and I must have cried a gallon from laughter. Who would have thought that the lead actors would eventually win a total of SIX Oscars? (Holly Hunter, Nicolas Cage + 4 Oscars for Frances McDormand, and don't forget 11 Emmy noms for John Goodman).
Lenny Smalls was played by Randall "Tex" Cobb, a boxer who fought Larry Holmes for the world heavyweight title in 1983, which explains his flattened nose (he took a lot of punches). He later became a kickboxer -- so he didn't have to be taught that spinning kick he used on H.I. This wasn't his only acting gig. Cobb has a sense of humor that's as warped as the Coens'. It came out in interviews. He was perfect for the role.
When I was like 11 in '98, I watched my VHS copies of Raising Arizona and The Rock religiously. Raising Arizona is the one movie that everybody in my immediate family LOVES
I love that! It really is a movie that has broad appeal, and always did. The style and tone with the cinematography, acting and music is so weird and edgy....it definitely appealed to the art house circuit. But it's almost wholesome and family-oriented (and hilariously funny) that everyone else could enjoy it - which is what happened when it started playing on cable all the time.
A friend of mine always told me that the yodel in this movie was the only thing louder than his ex. He said when they would argue he would pop this movie in and crank the yodel up on the surround sound. 🤣
Saw this opening day. This back when Cage was cool and only making quirky indie films, before the dark days, before Bruckheimer. This was the Coen Bros second film and were a thing like QT in the 90s, so the theater was a sold out crowd. It’s still one of my favorite films of all time.
This is one of my favorite comedies,i would like to suggest Wild At Heart(1990) which is another Nicolas Cage movie(before he made action films) which also stars Willem Dafoe and is Directed By DAVID LYNCH.
I highly, highly recommend Wild at Heart. David Lynch zaniness with Willem Dafoe in probably his craziest role... literally nobody has reacted to this either
GREAT suggestion, and a great entry point for Lynch. (although with these guys, "Elephant Man" or "Blue Velvet" would also be good ones. And THEN hit the super wild ones: Eraserhead, Mullholland Drive and Lost Highway.) But yeah, I actually associate this one and "Wild At Heart" somewhat together, although he had good stuff in between ("Vampire's Kiss" being one). But DEFINITELY "Wild At Heart" would make a GREAT reaction from these two!!!
I think this movie is one of the best, if not, the best movie NC ever made. It doesn't matter how many times you have watched it, it still funny & entertaining. "Mama didn't Love Me"!!!
The song that Holly Hunter is singing "I did murder that dear little girl" is a real song. The instrumental music you hear the whole movie in the background is this song. It is a very dark song! It talks of a man that is getting drunk by the river with his girlfriend. then he kills her (why? no explanation other than he is drunk) and then throws her body in the river. Then the rest of the song tells of his trying to get his dad (apparently, he is rich or has influence) to help him avoid hanging. But his dad tells him he cannot help him. In the end he is hanged for murdering the girl, I think her name is Anne Marie. I think the name of the song is "Sweet Anne Marie"? Holly sings her name in the song. The interesting twist about this song is I think it was written about 300 years ago. A lot of really old songs are surprisingly very dark (about death and murder). Whiskey in the Jar is another example of an Irish folk song about 200 or 300 years old that is very dark (about robbery, murder, and another hanging). It was remade by Thin Lizzy in the 70s, and Metallica around 2009.
I think this is the Coen brothers' second feature film and *Blood Simple* is their first. Their third movie, *Miller's Crossing* is one of my very favorites.
@@terrygracy8345 You're just giving me the high hat! It is one of the best written of their films: miss a detail, or a nuance, and you wonder how Turturro's character was/n't "killed".
@@jnagarya519 “that’s right, you’re the big shot around here and I’m just some schnook that likes to get slapped around “. Jon Polito prob has most of the great lines in this movie
The bounty-hunter, Randall "Tex" Cobb used 2 b a neighbor of mine n Nashville n the '90's. I met him when he did "Married With Children" episode & "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." He'd been n many classic films at that point, & had loved him n this! He still boxed smaller bouts at the time, after he almost got beat 2 death n the ring by legendary boxer Larry Holmes on national tv (should b on here/YT?), causing the GOAT sports announcer, Howard Cosell 2 retire from boxing. He was a martial champ b4 he tried his hand at pro boxing. I'd c him jogging past my window every morning where he'd stop & punch the trees b4 carrying on. Poor trees!😅 He was a really great neighbor & we'd shoot the shit from time 2 time. Thought he was dead 4 yrs, but turned out was his son that died & he moved back 2 his hometown Philadelphia. Hope he's well!🙏❤ "Uncommon Valor" prob his best & biggest role? This my fave Coen Bros & Cage! Wish Cage did more comedy back n the day! Great choice! Thanx! See ya! ✌😎❤
I watched that fight and remember Howard being disgusted, Randall is one tough sob, my cousin went to high school around same time as him in Abilene and knew who he was etc ,
@@thunderstruck5484 Maybe I should change my comment, friend? Didn't figure in the "Tex."😅 I just remember when I found out he was still alive & looked it up, the article said hometown Philly. Guess where he trained martial arts? Anyway, he was a great a guy. We'd chat from time 2 time, but I never wanted 2 ask him about Hollywood since everybody that recognizes him prob asks. I'm 50 & prob saw that fight, but I was so young I don't remember. Btw, "All my exes live in Texas!"😅 I lived in Dallas in '90 & '96, & 4 some reason there were a LOT of Texan gals running round here.😁 Cheers from NashvilleTowne! 🎸 🎶
@@satyadasgumbyji8956 a lot of my ancestors came from your area way back and settled in north Texas , I guess a lot did back then , through Arkansas etc, we still here!
That's fantastic, thanks for sharing all that! As far as Cage doing comedies back then? He did tons! "Moonstruck" was a comedy, "Vampire's Kiss" was definitely funny, he started off in "Valley Girl" which is very funny....he was subsequently in "Honeymoon In Vegas" and although I wouldn't describe "Wild At Heart" or "Peggy Sue Got Married" as straight comedies, he's hilarious in them. He's even funny in "Birdy". It was in the 90s he started doing all the action stuff. In the 80s, he was known for THIS, and stuff like it.
@@TTM9691 I actually 4got about many of those. I, of course, remember his bit part n his 1st film, & 1 of my all time top 5 movies (mainly for sentimental reasons), "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." & now I remember "Valley Girl", but thought it was B-Rate & didn't care 4 it back then. But compared 2 much of today's crap, I might appreciate it more now? I remember "Peggy Sue Got Married" & "Moonstruck" now, but as a teen/ young man, they seemed more female/romance oriented, & I didn't grow up n the '50's & wasn't Italian (😅), so even tho I loved me some Kathleen Turner & Cher back n the day, those 2 never appealed 2 me. "Vampire's Kiss" sounds familiar, but don't think I even saw it? I did love "Wild At Heart", but "Honeymoon In Vegas" depressed me the 1 time I watched it. Never heard of "Birdy"? Saw some of his others, but nothing really stood out 2 me. I did like the more recent 1 he did w/ Russell Brand? Don't remember what it was called, but it was good if u haven't seen! It's always good 2 re-visit old crap from yesteryear cause it can always turn out 2 b ur jam 2day! Hope ur doing well, Tic Toc Melody. Thanks 4 the input! 🙏❤
13:45 - the song is "Rose Connelly," Appalachian murder ballad, possibly from Ireland. The Everly Brothers did a nice version called "Down in the Willow Garden" if you want to check it out.
Considering that this one plays like a Road Runner cartoon with live people in it, it's fantastic that this came from the same minds who made "No Country for Old Men."
There's a lot of Coen Bros. films that get more attention nowadays, but, this is a totally brilliant film. You should check out "Burn After Reading", if you haven't already. Another brilliant Coen Bros. comedy that is largely overlooked.
I had forgotten that when Goodman and his brother are freshening up in the gas station bathroom, the door behind them says POE OPE, which is a cryptic reference to Dr. Strangelove.
The Coen Brothers have made a bunch of great movies like No Country for Old Men, Fargo and the Big Lebowski, but this has always been my favorite along with O Brother Where Art Thou.
"They had Yodas and shit on 'em!" The tattoo is actually of _Mr. Horsepower_ not Woody Wood Pecker. "Anyone found bi-pedal in 5 wears his ass for a hat!"
The ending always gets me I dunno why. Been that way since I first saw it back in the early 90s. It’s a comedy but has sentimental feel, maybe that’s it.
I always thought Leonard Smalls was HI's father. Thats why they have the same tattoo(HI might remember it from an early memory and got it when he was older. And why Smalls has what I think ar HIs bronzed booties. I may be crazy.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry about your CAR being stolen! Are you kidding me? Holy moly, I'm SO sorry to hear that. I loved this reaction , though, this was a movie that I immediately thought of when I first discovered your channel and you certainly had the same reactions as I did when I saw it. What do I think of "Raising Arizona"? This - and their first movie "Blood Simple" are the ones that put them on the map, they blew us away when they came out (those of us who saw them!). After this, I didn't care for their movies too much until "Fargo". And after that, I'm not a big fan of most of their subsequent movies. I like "Burn After Reading" and "A Serious Man" (which I don't think would make a good reaction video, necessarily). But for me, the Coen Brothers ARE "Blood Simple", this movie, and "Fargo". If all they had ever made were those three movies, or even just THIS movie, we'd still be talking about them. Just the chase sequence in the middle of the movie, it's something out of a silent movie. And the music, the cinematography (which was TOTALLY groundbreaking).....I don't know another comedy like this.
Next time you're in the mood for a Brian DePalma movie, check out "Phantom of the Paradise". Kinda like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", but better. Very strange, but fun and unforgettable.
You missed the best line. FBI guy "could you describe the child's jammies, sir?" Nathan Arizona "I don't know, they were jammies. What was on them. I don't know, Yodas and shit".
In every Coen brothers film there is a man that yells. I forgot the reason why but it's sort of an unnoticed trademark of the Coen's. A Serious Man from 2009 is the only Coen brothers film I haven't seen, which for some reason is pretty much unknown by most people, even fans of the Coen Brother's films. I keep meaning to watch it but I never do. Anyway, they have a very unique style to their films that really separates them from other directors.
R.E. the "worldbuilding" comment: The Coens definitely love to pick a certain slice of American culture and explore it to its fullest in each of their movies. Kind of one of their trademarks as "auteurs". (check out some info on auteur theory if interested!) Usually its some region, sometimes its a region + a time period that they delve into. Sorry to hear about your car - what a crazy coincidence!
Oh this one's way better than True Grit. Of course it's two different kind of movies but this is about the funniest Coen brothers.? Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski are both funny too.
"Everybody has a gun!" Arizona has some of the most lax gun control laws in the United States, to the point where it's often joked that you can't claim residency in the state unless you own at least one firearm. It's one of the most sublime jokes in the whole movie, and the whole movie is freakin' hilarious!
Some excellent John Goodman yelling in this movie. It's a fun movie. Goes down easy and leaves very little behind, either in terms of nourishment or aftertaste, but it's fun while it's on.
There's only a few Tarantino movies that I haven't seen (The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Jackie Brown). Sarah on the other hand has only seen Kill Bill Vol. 1&2 and Jackie Brown!
There's a _lot_ more to this conspiracy theory to explain the film...but Leonard Smalls _is_ Lenny Small from Of Mice and Men...grown to manhood in Hell and returned to take his "grandson" back. IE Hi is Lenny's son, still dreaming of a better life. *First* "sin" Smalls commits in the film _is_ killing a rabbit. Okay then?
Apologies for the delay on this one-our car was stolen over the weekend and it messed up our schedule a bit. This movie has been a long time coming though, so we hope you all enjoy it!

Sorry to hear about your car... Hopefully it will be recovered and the criminal(s) will face justice.

wouldn't hold out hope for the Creedance though 😥

Classic! Thanks for reacting always enjoyable here !
The ending always gets me I dunno why. Been that way since I first saw it back in the early 90s. It’s a comedy but has sentimental feel, maybe that’s it.
it's definitely an emotional ending, one wants to believe that they end up having a family after all, because deep down they are good people
I'll pitch my voice where ever i pleEEEASSEE......
His name ain't Hi Jr, His name ain't Ed Jr. But it's Jr. alright, It's Nathan Jr.
Guys you only do the best movies ! Great channel !
Lenard smalls was played by Randall Tex Cobb. Fun fact: he once boxed Muhammad Ali
I always thought Leonard Smalls was HI's father. Thats why they have the same tattoo(HI might remember it from an early memory and got it when he was older. And why Smalls has what I think ar HIs bronzed booties. I may be crazy.
My room back in the eighties when this came out was the spitting image of Hyde.
One of my fave movies. You seemed to take a it a bit seriously at times but the ending is moving
True Grit was a standard remake, Raising Arizona is another level of filmmaking. Tons better than Lebowski.
Greatest last line of all time. "Maybe it was Utah."
A favorite game is counting the portraits of Barry Goldwater in the background.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry about your CAR being stolen! Are you kidding me? Holy moly, I'm SO sorry to hear that. I loved this reaction , though, this was a movie that I immediately thought of when I first discovered your channel and you certainly had the same reactions as I did when I saw it. What do I think of "Raising Arizona"? This - and their first movie "Blood Simple" are the ones that put them on the map, they blew us away when they came out (those of us who saw them!). After this, I didn't care for their movies too much until "Fargo". And after that, I'm not a big fan of most of their subsequent movies. I like "Burn After Reading" and "A Serious Man" (which I don't think would make a good reaction video, necessarily). But for me, the Coen Brothers ARE "Blood Simple", this movie, and "Fargo". If all they had ever made were those three movies, or even just THIS movie, we'd still be talking about them. Just the chase sequence in the middle of the movie, it's something out of a silent movie. And the music, the cinematography (which was TOTALLY groundbreaking).....I don't know another comedy like this.
Next time you're in the mood for a Brian DePalma movie, check out "Phantom of the Paradise". Kinda like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", but better. Very strange, but fun and unforgettable.
Raising Arizona? Well, okay then. 😉
You missed the best line. FBI guy "could you describe the child's jammies, sir?" Nathan Arizona "I don't know, they were jammies. What was on them. I don't know, Yodas and shit".
And the other best line. "You got any balloons in funny shapes?" "Nope, unless you consider round funny."
How did I feel?
I clicked Like before I watched the reaction because I already knew!
They were Jammis! They had Yodas on them!
Greatest Cohen Brothers movie of all time. Nick Cage's career went down hill after this.
In every Coen brothers film there is a man that yells. I forgot the reason why but it's sort of an unnoticed trademark of the Coen's. A Serious Man from 2009 is the only Coen brothers film I haven't seen, which for some reason is pretty much unknown by most people, even fans of the Coen Brother's films. I keep meaning to watch it but I never do. Anyway, they have a very unique style to their films that really separates them from other directors.
The Hudsucker Proxy 1994 my fav Coen brothers movie
Miller's Crossing
R.E. the "worldbuilding" comment: The Coens definitely love to pick a certain slice of American culture and explore it to its fullest in each of their movies. Kind of one of their trademarks as "auteurs". (check out some info on auteur theory if interested!) Usually its some region, sometimes its a region + a time period that they delve into. Sorry to hear about your car - what a crazy coincidence!
nicolas cage was 23 in this movie. Holly hunter 29.
It is in my top 4 coen brothers movie's
1. No country for old men
2.Fargo
3. The Big Lebowski
4.Raising Arizona
Great Choice!!
Great Movie!!
Great Reaction!!
loved this film
My second favorite comedy
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.
Oh this one's way better than True Grit. Of course it's two different kind of movies but this is about the funniest Coen brothers.? Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski are both funny too.
"Everybody has a gun!"
Arizona has some of the most lax gun control laws in the United States, to the point where it's often joked that you can't claim residency in the state unless you own at least one firearm. It's one of the most sublime jokes in the whole movie, and the whole movie is freakin' hilarious!
I've been subbed to your gaming channel for awhile, now I've subbed to this one! 🙂
Welcome! Thank you for the support on both channels :)
@@EricSarahReact just finished watching your Lethal Weapon reaction, do you know yet when reactions to Lethal Weapon 2 will happen?
You didn't recognize the framed picture of Barry Goldwater in the parole hearing room? He's Arizona claim to fame. He was _almost_ president.
This is the only Coen brothers movie I like.
Great movie choice 👍🏼
Some excellent John Goodman yelling in this movie.
It's a fun movie. Goes down easy and leaves very little behind, either in terms of nourishment or aftertaste, but it's fun while it's on.
I can't quit you guys. Help!
*Nicolas
Y’all need to react too a town that Drended sundown 1976 really good and a true story
Watch Miller's Crossing!
I always say people that don't like Raising Arizona can go to hell.
38:43 i know what you mean 😎
it's nice, but it's no TBL
Have you watched all the Tarantino movies? It would be interesting for you to react to any of them
There's only a few Tarantino movies that I haven't seen (The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Jackie Brown). Sarah on the other hand has only seen Kill Bill Vol. 1&2 and Jackie Brown!
ok then...
Good Lord, this is a comedy, not a documentary, for God sake!
They let people out of prison today who've done far worse. Sad but true.
There's a _lot_ more to this conspiracy theory to explain the film...but Leonard Smalls _is_ Lenny Small from Of Mice and Men...grown to manhood in Hell and returned to take his "grandson" back. IE Hi is Lenny's son, still dreaming of a better life.
*First* "sin" Smalls commits in the film _is_ killing a rabbit. Okay then?
You guys are awesome, Sarah such a pretty lady :)
Roadrunner not woody woodpecker
Hi! Could you please do reaction to Harry Potter 🙏
One false move
Flirting with Disaster
Wonder Boys
Mall rats
You guys make money off of watching movies?
ACTUALLY, HOLLY HUNTER IS such a better and more consistent actor than Nick Cage, than it is a real travesty you both dont know about her.
