Also, both Siskel and Ebert have very sophisticated and tough ways to review their movies in their own ways.

Fun Trivia: A lot of these movies from major studios weren't doing very well at the box-office and they are: Steppin' Out, Shout, Hudson Hawk, Nothing but Trouble, Dice Rules, Scenes from a Mall, Return to the Blue Lagoon, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Drop Dead Fred, Highlander 2, Another You and more.

Now lots of them who got great success today and live life to the fullest such as Andie MacDowell, Brian Krause, Milla Jovovich, Jane Krakowski, Virginia Madsen, Christina Applegate, Demi Moore, Phoebe Cates, Christopher Lambert, Bette Midler and more. Fair and Simple.
I'll give you some advice from my friend who produced many good and bad movies. His name is Peter MacGregor-Scott, great producer/executive who've started working in the US and associated with Universal, Warners, Paramount and finally Disney. From 1977 until 2010, he wore many hats as a co-producer, supervising producer, executive producer and producer on many projects. And he collaborated with several filmmakers, artists and technicians around the world plus working with great actors. He also helps out and brings the best out of everybody's work, no matter what. Finding the right locations to shoot, built the sets and more, the veteran producer is very responsible for everything. Especially for a few wee hours to have such a great vision where many problems lie. There were many challenges in any production. What he says for many of today's filmmakers such as Andrew Davis, Joel Schumacher, Kathryn Bigelow, Ron Shelton, Jeff Kanew, Arthur Hiller et al from December 1981 and said in his words about film producing: "As long as you have many solutions, the problems may never exist." Now he's gone but I love him so much and his family will always remember him. As well as his fans and friends who have cared and adored him too. I'm gonna miss you, pal. God Bless. RIP, Peter.
Just less funny. Travolta's character is not as cool as Jack Black's rocker turned teacher, who may have been a lovable loser, but has a passion for rock, that was over the top but never mocked against him.
Every time I hear Gene say “that was 2 hours out of my life I’ll never get back” it makes you think. The man didn’t realize how right he was. RIP Gene and Roger.
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is such a fantasy but it's actually held up well.... I also remember their differing opinions on evolution of the Home Alone series (one of them said 3 was better than 1 and 2, which - nope) so their reaction to this movie makes more sense. I still will say "Dishes done, man."
Highlander 2...saw it in the theater with my best friend, and we sat through the entire thing, stunned at how bad it was, and hilariously hoping that there might be one minute of redemption...fail!! Lol...
@@CaptainSpalding72 "Zero Nudity, So It Fails There Too." But now things were changing for the better. From November 7, 1985 - present, the article was "Fashion Ads and Sex: Why It Sells," it's very simple as that. Seen on television, movies, music, media and even clothing, all thanks to Oscar winning producer Robert Dorfmann of the Forbidden Games and Papillon fame who came to New York and have some good thoughts for today's fans alike. That same year, this is a series of print ads and television commercials for Hanes Silk Reflections Sheer Hosiery Collection, featuring some of the most beautiful women in the world were Lorraine O'Brien and Vendela. Its lovely tagline was "Nude with Attitude." It was great fun.
Not to defend Dice Rules, but I think that nerdy guy he plays was based on Jerry Lewis and was part of his early act, where he'd start out acting nerdy like Jerry Lewis in "The Nutty Professor" and then "transform" into a confident, tough-talking guy modeled after John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever."
I was 12 in 1991 and I strongly disagree wit dissing Drop dead fred and Don't tell mom the babysitter is dead. These movies bring me back to my childhood, great memories.
Yep, 'Scenes from a Mall' is bad. Woody is a lot like Clint Eastwood. When he appears in a film he did not write or direct, there is usually a bad result. 'Dice Rules' only played ONCE on HBO after its run in the theatre and it was shown like at 3 or 4 in the morning since it was NC-17. The sad thing about Rik Mayall is that he had an illustrious career in England but in America he is mostly known Drop Dead Fred and the Young Ones. Even when it was announced he died, NBC called him the 'Drop Dead Fred' actor. I even ID'ed him as that to my sister since that is what she knew him for. The directors cut of the first Highlander is great, but they they retconned it film after film and TV show...Oh, he is a prisoner from another planet...Oh, he really isn't that last immortal...Oh, there are plenty of immortals roaming the earth, including a kinsman of Connor's. It got to be exhausting.
@@JustSomeCanadianGuy Legendary blacklisted filmmaker Martin Ritt's 1976 entertaining movie for Columbia was nominated for a 1977 Oscar - best writing, original screenplay. "The Front" has simply focused the blacklisted community in Hollywood. Years later in 2011, several blacklisted artists including Academy Award winner Monique, former Emmy Award winner Katherine Kelley, former Oscar nominated filmmakers Martin Brest and Lisa Weinstein and others were watching this Academy Award nominated classic with Woody Allen that could face the way we watched American cinema today.
Nothing But Trouble had vision. They were trying to do something interesting and failed spectacularly. Theres tons of videos on the messy production. Hudson Hawk was just plain silly and lame.
Nah, they were friends but were also rivals. When Gene Siskel passed away from cancer in the late 90's, Ebert took Gene's son to see Star Wars Episode I when it released.
Rik Mayall was brilliant in blackadder, but he had the benefit of being able to bounce off other comic geniuses like rowan atkinson and hugh laurie, and the writing was absolutely topnotch. He didn't have that with drop dead fred.
I never liked when siskel would call out the makers by name. I mean, okay, but when he was pissed off about Friday the 13th, didn’t he call out betsy palmer and gave out her home address? Lol, that’s not okay! And she was the best thing about that movie.
He printed betsy's full address and phone number in his review of the first F13 movie. She said that after that happened, she got hate mail and threatening phone calls for several months.
@@Hammerhead547He only gave the town she lived in, not her address or phone number. There was never a single case of a letter getting to her or even one being written. And she didn't get a phone call either. It was a very unprofessional move by Siskel. But she didn't ever get harassed. You can look up a scan of the review with a simple Google search.
Hudson Hawk was pretty funny, these two needed to have lightened up a little. McDowel doing her Dolphn imitation, JP II hitting his TV set with his golden cane to get better TV reception in his white PJs, that was beyond funny. This was Sarah Bernhardt's only good movie. The scene with the song and the robbery was excellent Bruce & Danny have excellent voices.
From the creators of the Oscar nominated family classic comedy/drama, "Divorce, American Style" and the cult comedy, "Heathers" comes "Hudson Hawk" (1991) - a Columbia Pictures and Act III Communications presentation of a Silver Pictures/Cheyenne Enterprises production from Columbia-Delphi Productions, Sony Pictures Releasing. The film's latter was a great movie that also received an cult following.
I'd trade 1991 for 2020 anyday. Men were still men, women were still women and celebrities were famous for actual talent not simply for being on RUclips. ....and when Bill Clinton lied nobody died.
theres a saying "90 percent of everything is garbage" and it definitely applies to movies more than music or TV or video games or books. 91 was exactly like every other year. A handful of good films, a buttload of bad films, and if you're lucky you forgot the bad and remember the good.
I loved Don’t Tell Mom Babysitter's Dead & Drop Dead Fred & Hudson Hawk too lol, I'm guessing because I was so young. Watching them now it's obvious they're not all great films, but they're all still lovable in their own way thanks in no small part to nostalgia.

The scene with the song and the robbery was excellent Bruce & Danny have excellent voices.
Sandra started with DeNiro in Scorsese's King of Comedy. (Thumbs way up)
Drop Dead Fred is awful but Rik Mayall was a wonderful comedic actor
" Bunch of ninnies "...lmbo
Nothing but trouble is a hilarious film.
No, It's not....
This was Dan Aykroyd's only film as director.
The 1991 latter was co-produced by Spelling Films and St. Clare Entertainment, distributed by
New Line/Warner Bros., a Time Warner Company.
I think Hudson Hawk is a good movie and I just don't care! It was taken way too seriously for what was meant to be goofy.
From the creators of the Oscar nominated family classic comedy/drama, "Divorce, American Style"
and the cult comedy, "Heathers" comes "Hudson Hawk" (1991) - a Columbia Pictures and
Act III Communications presentation of a Silver Pictures/Cheyenne Enterprises production
from Columbia-Delphi Productions, Sony Pictures Releasing. The film's latter was a great movie
that also received an cult following.
Sure were a lot pretty bad films back in 1991.
I'd trade 1991 for 2020 anyday. Men were still men, women were still women and celebrities were famous for actual talent not simply for being on RUclips.
....and when Bill Clinton lied nobody died.
@@notyou8716 Hard to believe Bruce Willis did The Last Boy Scout. The same year he did Hudson Hawk.
theres a saying "90 percent of everything is garbage" and it definitely applies to movies more than music or TV or video games or books.
91 was exactly like every other year. A handful of good films, a buttload of bad films, and if you're lucky you forgot the bad and remember the good.
@@notyou8716 Clinton lied about bombing a medicine factory. People did die under that idiot.
@@notyou8716 I agreed with you up to the last statement. Bill and Hillary have a higher body count than the mafia.
'Don't tell Mom' wasn't THAT bad.
What did anyone see in Andrew Dice Clay? He isn't funny.
Yeah he is you prude
What people don't like about ADC was that he talk bad about women. He was good in A Star is Born. There,he wasn't suppose to be funny.
Nothing but Trouble wasn’t that bad
I rather enjoyed
Nothing But Trouble
Shock G!? Nooooo!!!
When Bette Midler does that shit to Woody Allen, she could be doing it for a lot of women today against him.
Mob thinking without actual evidence is easy
9:44 GENEEE STOP HARASSING THESE WRITERS!!! FOR THE DEAD BABYSITTER MOVIE?!
hudson hawk was a fun movie
@@markelijio6012 it was a dog...
@@PeterMayer I understand very well and clear, Peter. "Hudson Hawk" was a box office bomb.
"Hudson Hawk" has earned five Fennecus Award nominations in 1992.
I liked scenes from a mall
I loved Don’t Tell Mom Babysitter's Dead & Drop Dead Fred & Hudson Hawk too lol, I'm guessing because I was so young. Watching them now it's obvious they're not all great films, but they're all still lovable in their own way thanks in no small part to nostalgia.
Adventures of Ford Fairlane is kinda funny
