Fun fact for you, those paintball guns were originally made for the logging industry for marking trees. And the game of paintball tag was first played by bored lumberjacks. It was picked by college kids in the pacific northwest who worked in the lumbercamps over the summer break.
They were also used for marking cattle. I’ve been trying to track down a stock and in good condition “Nelson Nel-Spot 007” (model of “marker” used in this movie) but they’re getting more scarce these days. I first started playing paintball in the late 80’s (1988 I think) and my first marker was a NSG (National Survival Game) Splatmaster. I played paintball professionally in the early 2000’s and now I just play for fun.
I recently picked up some REAL paintballs, with actual paint in them which are intended for their original use. I bought some art painting canvases that I plan on making some paintball “artwork” with 😎
@@frankthespank I still have a couple of my original Splatmasters, along with the full facemasks, the camo coveralls, and the utility belts with the holsters and pouches for carrying extra tubes and CO2 cartridges. I ran across it all the other day while rearranging some boxes in storage. Then a couple days later this pops up in my feed. Talk about deja vu! 😉
That's cool
Cool I bet these hurt
@@nahkohese555 lol that’s funny! Paintball sure was different back in the day. It was a tight nit community of people that would get together and shoot at each other. It was fun as hell! Then paintball got REALLY commercial.. and failed. Why? Kids today don’t want to be hurt. That’s basically it. They’re scared of paintballs hitting them, first question they ALWAYS ask very nervously is how much does getting shot hurt… I usually tell them they’ll have so much adrenaline pumping through them that they won’t even notice that they were shot and will be more worried about being eliminated from the current game than anything els. That’s why .50 Caliber paintball was invented, smaller, not as heavy paintballs don’t hurt as much, plus you can carry a ton of shots on you and you can get “conversion kits” for many guns.
You probably recognize Sasha from 'Men In Black'.
She was in another underappreciated 80s classic called 'Vision Quest'. It's a really solid sports movie.
She was also in Kevin Smith's "Dogma"
She was also in "What Planet Are You From?" with Gary Shandling, Annette Benning and John Goodman.
And The Last Seduction
Watching Vision Quest now and remember her roll in Gotcha. She's hot..... she was also in beyond the law with Charlie Sheen.
Hell yes..I never thought I'd see anyone react to this hidden lil gem.. so so much fun.
Agreed. This is an 80s classic. It had fun, romance, adventure, suspense, and humor.
I was born in ‘81 and remember watching Gotcha every time it came on tv.
It’s an absolute classic. Perfect 80’s era cinema.
Love this movie. I have it on VHS.
I saw this when it was released, so maybe it’s just a matter of having grown up in the time period this was made in, but I wasn’t confused by anything they seemed to be puzzled over. All the plot points of the film seemed amazingly clear to me.
Dave Rod drove a 1984 Dodge Daytona. 2.2L Turbo with 142HP and a top Speed of 125Mph. For the mid 80s, that was not bad at all.
Who is Dave Rod? I'm lost.
@@JohnCranberry23 it's an old joke for this channel. When watching A Nightmare on Elm Street, they thought Tina said Dave Rod. Kinda stuck. Lol
@@MFPMapFilmProductions Yeah, I went back to see it in the Elm street reaction. Bugged me for a while until I read another comment like yours.
HOLY SHIT....I haven't seen this movie since the 80's lol My brother and I used to make our parents rent this over and over...love it.
i was managing a video store (remember those?) back in '86. This movie hit our shelves that year along with Breakfast Club, Tuff Turf and Vision Quest. I still watch them all whenever they're on as it brings back a lot of nostalgia.
Grew up renting every movie at my local store. Years later I was in the music business and did very well. Well enough to not have to work for money. Took a two week vacation in my house watching four movies a day. Local store said, “you rent so many movies you should just work here”. Two weeks later I was the manager. Did it for fun. Barely a wage. Loved it.
@@tempsitch5632 Sounds like you lived out a dream or at least carved a good niche for yourself😃 good on you then i worked in a video store as well seemed like life was more carefree back in the 80's
this movie is definitely bringing back some nostalgia
keep 80's movies alive
CHEERS mate.🙏
Vision quest is the movie Sasha was in. And I think the car was a Monte Carlo.
This has been one of my favorite movies since the first time I saw it back in the 80s. Really glad you guys reacted to it. This was fun! 🙂
man, you guys watch so many of my fav movies and shows from my childhood in the 80s and i love it.
He didn't want to kill anyone, but he was shooting them with tranquilizers designed to anesthetize a fully grown tiger so, who knows?
OMG! I cannot believe you are reacting to this movie. It was constantly on Cinemax. And I owned the Gotcha gun with the disappearing ink.
This and “Spies Like Us”
I commend dudester for highlighting fairly obscure movies like this. I haven't saw this since I was 10. All I remember was paintball, spy stuff, Linda Fiorentino and final freeze frame on bootyshot. It's all there.
I want to go to Scotland and ride a Nessie. Might ride to Ireland in search of Leprechaun treasure.
And " L.A.! We love it!!!!
Out of all the reviewers out here, you seem to watch the most movies I grew up watching that most have never heard of lol.
I remember watching this on The Movie Channel when it first came out. So many fun movies in that era, even when they're not great cinema they were kind of harmless fun unlike what gets released nowdays.
Thank you Grandaddy Dudester for this recommendation. I've been trying to get other reactors to see this movie and Miracle Mile. Hopefully it will come soon if they are into watching "Goose" movies of the past. I believe the car was a Dodge Daytona.
Chrysler Conquest TSI
@@bram9135 cool deal.
@@bram9135I thought it was a Monte Carlo. I so don’t know my cats! LoL
Jonathan's dad is played by Alex Rocco, who played Moe Greene in the first Godfather film.
I'd visit Ireland... and Sasha was played by Linda Fiorentino. She was in the original Men in Black and Dogma (by Kevin Smith)in the 90s.. and in another 80s movie called Vision Quest.
What does Ireland have to do with anything?
It's a totally different genre but, The Last Starfighter has a similar theme. Both films are about a young person who gets to play a real version of a game.
Also, there is also a film from the 80s called Cloak & Dagger, with Henry Thomas (ET) & Dabney Coleman (9 to 5), that is also similarly themed.
Cloak & Dagger...just reading that title transports me back to being about 9 years old watching movies late at night in our living room. Haven't seen that movie in forever.
@@jamesjoseph1249 Just thinking that the major product placement in that film was the Atari 2600. Damn, I'm old.
@@wampa25Actually, it was the Atari 5200. In fact, those who know games call bullcrap on the movie depicting 5200 controllers that actually work!
BTW - before Anthony Edwards became an Emmy-winning actor for his role in ER, he was in some really good 80s movies such as Revenge of the Nerds, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Sure Thing, and of course as Goose in Top Gun.
Don't forget the latter seasons of Northern Exposure.
Fast Times was Cameron Crowe's feature-film debut as a writer and was based on a 1981 book of the same name that he penned after going undercover to research it at a San Diego high school. "Almost Famous" is a dramatized version of his life going on the road with a band.
His character's exit from ER was well done.
One of my other favorites with him was Downtown with Forrest Whitiker.
Don’t forget The Sure Thing with John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga.
Linda Fiorentino was envision quest with Matthew Modine.. also, when I found out you were going to be watching Gotcha, I was thinking it was the movie Tag. You should watch that one too. it is basically the same idea but one psychopath uses real bullets on campus. T.A.G. stars the "nerd" Robert Carradine
These Assassination games were very popular back in 80s. Each person in the game is given a name of someone else in the game to kill. When you kill your target, they give you their assignment. Eventually there will be only two people left with each other’s name. There are rules like no assassination in classrooms, certain areas on campus, times of day, etc. We could use squirt gun, spit balls, paper cut in a knife shape. Etc.
My kids played in High school. They used squirt guns. Couldn’t play it now, for sure! But I remember having to recon my house before the kids left to go to school so they wouldn’t be ambushed! LoL. I actually caught two players hiding my my shrubs one morning! I had as much fund as the kids!
That cab ride scene is a very realistic depiction of the traffic when I drove around in Paris back in the early 90's.
"Cheaper,faster, much much safer."
Man, I'm probably in the only few who have watched this in my country, nobody I know have watched this!
Damm,this is a blast from the past.Grew up in the 80s and this film,when I saw it when I was kid,generally surprised me of the plot twist about her not being a Russian agent,but an American agent and she used him...
This was a period of some great spy comedies. You should watch Undercover Blues next. Sasha was played by Linda Fiorentino. She played the Medical Examiner/new partner to Will Smith in Men in Black, she was the lead in Dogma, and starred in The Last Seduction. Gotcha! was only her second movie.
Spies Like Us
Finally, a movie Goose lives through! Shocking you two watched Gotcha btw, :D
He lives through.. The Client, Revenge of the Nerds, Mr.. North.. and of course The Sure Thing. Lol...
What a nice and very unexpected surprise having you react to Gotcha. Obscure movie indeed but one of my all time favorites. I remember jumping out of my couch when I heard them play Nick Kershaw's "wouldn't it be good." Saying that's it, now who sings that and what's it called, I called the radio station and read out some of the lyrics I just heard and could remember. Turns out they thought it was Howard Jones "life in one day." This was several years after the movie and the song came out. I know blah blah blah. True experience though.
That's Linda Fiorentino, who was the morgue person in Men In Black. She was also in a fairly decent thriller called Jade with David Caruso from 1995-ish(?)
Just occurred to me when she said Strudel.
She was great in The Last Seduction.
I fell in love with her in Vision Quest.
Knew her only from Dogma and Men in Black until this
Mr Movies had so many good puns in this reaction - it was like watching mystery science theater 🤣😂
One of my all-time favorite movies. Top ten for sure.
His dad: "Leave it to you to find the one girl in the world who isn't on the pill (birth control)."😂
One of my favorite forgotten movies. A very fun watch.
Nothing cooler than early 80's west german punk/rock.
This movie brings me back to my childhood. Such a fun movie and that theme song is now playing in my head.
"Gotcha" and "Into the Night" (Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, and a ton of cameos, including David Bowie), are my top 2 favorite "unsuspecting/unlikely guy gets dragged into a deadly game by a young woman" films!
So glad you said, "Chekov's tranquilizer gun." I thought the exact same thing when it was introduced. Keep up the great work!
The only reason I knew this movie existed was that it was said to be an inspiration for the NES game of the same name. I'm glad your Patreon person sponsored it as I was never going to watch it on my own. Pity you have to mute the audio on YT though as I heard a few 80's bangers slipping through at points behind dialogue. Tossing a Like up for the algorithm for you.
“Gotcha” was a staple on early HBO.
Total Classic, Thank you for this reaction!
I watched that movie many times as an army brat living in Germany in the 80s! So fun
The teacher that shot the tiger was also the dean in Revenge of the Nerds
Sheryl Brewster was the corpse examiner in the 1st Men In Black Movie, Linda Fiorentino. Wow, what a rare request...
I completely forgot this movie ever existed. I don't think I've seen it since the '80s.
Kids these days. Yes, back when I was a young, the "Cold War" was in full effect and Germany was still split up into East Germany and West Germany. It'd been that way for decades, since the end of WWII. The Berlin Wall was still a thing. West Berlin and East Berlin were particularly complicated, as West Berlin was completely within/surrounded by the territory of East Germany.
I remember when the wall came down and Germany was re-unified, seemingly out of the blue.
EDIT: Minor quibbles that irritate me ever so slightly... 1) Tranquilizers don't work even CLOSE to that fast... 2) Tranqing the girl at the end would absolutely be assault, in addition to being petty and stupid.
Would someone please tell me why they kept calling Manolo, Dave Rod? I looked up his wiki and the actor, Nick Corri (aka Jsu Garcia), has no character name like that listed for tv or film.
The "Rod" part is a reference to his character's name (Rod Lane) in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street. Not sure where the "Dave" part comes from.
It’s a call back to our Nightmare on Elm Street reaction I thought the characters name was Dave Rod. The reaction is pretty good you should go check it out if you feel up to it!
@@MrsMovies Thank you. How come there's been no Last of Us 2 for a couple of weeks, if you don't mind me asking? :)
@@thatdrewrivers we’ve been working every night for the last 3 months straight so something had to give and the gaming is what gave for now. We’ll get back to it to finish at some point but probably not this month
@@MrsMovies That's perfectly fair enough, gotta make time for yourselves. I figured it was because you don't like Abby! lol ;) Enjoy your free time and thanks for replying :)
I was born in '84 and my mom recorded a lot of movies and cartoons from around that time until we lost cable and I ended up growing up watching this movie, was one of those movies you think no one has ever seen until you discover the internet and find others who have.
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was first released. Whenever 80's films co.e up in a conversation. This is one of the films that always comes to my mind. Along with Enemy Mine. It was suspenseful when I first saw it. After that it was just hilarious.
My favorite scene was when Jonathan makes it thru the checkpoint and says, "Is this West Germany?"
"Yes sir."
"F&@k you!"
"I've been wanting to do that for the past 6 months."
Of all the times I've seen this movie, I never dug deep enough to know that was Goose."
My pencil is large. My pencil is yellow.
That was a Dodge Daytona.
The Dodge Daytona is an automobile which was produced by the Chrysler Corporation under their Dodge division from 1984 until 1993
Good lord went back in the vault for this one …..
This movie was one of the things that made me want to go to UCLA for college. So I've seen many of the filming locations up close. Loved it growing up.
When I saw the movie Angel, I wanted to move to Hollywood so I could be a teenage prostitute and hang out with colorful street people. I was so disappointed when I moved to Hollywood and there were no colorful street people and I couldn't even give it away.
It was 1985. Anybody wearing helmets while casually biking was mocked mercilessly....lol
Technically, they split Berlin into 4 parts. The United States, United Kingdom, and France combined their portions shortly afterward for ease of administration during reconstruction efforts, but the Soviet Union/East Germany kept their own section in order to protect its citizens from the perilous evils of capitalism. Then later on the Soviet Union/East Germany noticed that for some reason people in East Berlin kept crossing over into the Western portion of the city to party despite all the perilous evils present there, so they built a wall to further protect them. Then the Soviet Union/East Germany saw that things were going swimmingly well in West Berlin, so they decided to close all the borders so the Western Powers couldn't continue to import their perilous evils of capitalism, but the Western Powers outwitted them by using a whole bunch of airplanes to fly said perilous evils in, so the Soviet Union/East Germany were like, "We can't build a wall _that_ high, guess we're flummoxed" and re-opened the land borders. Then a few decades later the Soviet Union/East Germany decided they really actually wanted the perilous evils of capitalism, so they both decided not to exist anymore and East Germany became part of Germany again while the Soviet Union became a whole bunch of other countries.
And everybody lived happily ever after.
EDIT: I realized right after posting this that the Berlin Airlift happened before the Berlin Wall was erected, but I didn't want to lose the "that high" gag so I'm opting to change history instead.
Always found fascinating how Berlin was split. The Cold War- what a time to be alive.
The car was a Chrysler Lazer. I know because my very first car was a 1985 Chrysler Lazer.
I miss that car so much! Black with red pin striping. Black leather seats, digital readout on the dashboard. A turbo charged 2.2 liter 4-banger that beat most cars in a drag race!
And when you put the key in the ignition, a computerized male voice said, "YOUR KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION."
Wrecked it in an intersection when some kids going to the prom ran a red and turned left in front of me.
So many good memories of that car. My very first....
Great, now I'm teary eyed. Love your guy's channel!
I also thought Linda Fiorentino would make it bigger than she did. After this and Vision Quest, I didn't see her on film again for another 15 years in Dogma.
She was in After Hours, Queens Logic, The Last Seduction & Jade.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid (at least 30 years ago), but the theme song from this movie will randomly pop into my head every couple of years.
Luckily, downloaded that song.
Really cool to see one of my favorite, not only 80s movies, but in my top 25 movies all time, get a reaction. Gotcha had everything you need in a movie: Cool/unique story, a little humor, action, suspense, and romance. Just a nice easy watch 👍
Oh wow, haven't seen this in ages. Still holds up.
This was one of my fav movies as a kid
@34:37 That is grappling Legend, Judo Gene LeBell. A master of jujitsu, judo and anything grabby. He’s been in a hundred+ movies. Hollywood stuntman royalty. He originally trained Ronda Rousey in judo before she went olympic. He’s Rush Hour, Airplane, The Jerk….etc.
The guy who played Monolo (the one you kept calling "Dave Rod" whoever that is) also played Francisco D'Anconia in "Atlas Shrugged part 1
It is a joke from their Nightmare on Elm Street Reaction..she misheard dialogue for his character Rod in the movie and thought at first his name was Dave Rod.
Surprised and happy that somebody is reacting to this movie. I saw it in the theater when it came out, always thought it was a cute film.
I always liked this movie, thought it was a fun ride
The car was a Dodge Daytona. Despite the speed added by stenciling "TURBO" on the side, it was not particularly fast.
Dodge Daytona Turbo
It was a hot car back in the early 80's when car manufacturers were trying to figure out how to get good performance out of small engines. They basically put turbos onto EVERYTHING including the 4 cylinder engine in the Daytona. The gas shortages of the 70's combined with 70's gas guzzlers resulted in American car manufacturers putting small and underpowered engines into everything in order to be more fuel efficient. It is why the abomination 4 cylinder Mustang was produced during this time.
I just knew if I was patient someone would do a reaction to this movie eventually! Loved it so much as a kid, and wanted so bad to play the game myself. Had a chance to rent the apartment that Jonathan lived in, but my potential roommate flaked on me. Also, I am completely missing the Dave Rod reference. A little help anyone?
Yes... I don't get it either. Dave Rod?
Go check out our Nightmare on Elm Street reaction. You’ll get the reference within the first 5minutes I think. IYKYK
@@MrsMovies thank you. I will do that. I seen parts of some of the Elm Street movies, but I don't know that I've ever seen a full one start to finish.
This was filmed the year before my 1983 - 1990 assignment to West Berlin. This is the city and atmosphere I remember.
finally someone does Gotcha.
Viva la Gotcha - best yet. Also there films with Linda - Men in Black, The Last Seduction, Vision Quest and Unforgettable.
I haven’t thought about this movie in 37 years.😂
Her reactions to the women are priceless. The look in her eyes…love it. Makes this so much better
Video rental heaven with this! Heavily trailered on numerous movies at the time. There was a darker movie about the same game from a few years previous: 'Tag - The Assassination Game' starring Linda Hamilton of Terminator.
And it had the other half of Revenge of the Nerds Robert Carradine
@@josephandreano2708 Playing a cool guy! I wish they'd give it a decent Blu Ray release...
Sasha is also in Martin Scorsese's "After Hours", a comedy I highly recommend.
.... now go to "Spies like us"
Do they do requests? Because I will pay for them to do Spies Like Us. Chevy, Dan, and Paul Mccartney. Love this film.
For the longest time i thought this movie and "TAG the assassination game " was the same movie. Both dealing with college games of killing each other. funny that TAG has Robert Carradean , Mark Edwards partner from "Nerds".
11:00 That's Linda Fiorentino. You probably recognize her from "Dogma" or the first "Men In Black".
I've never heard of this movie. I loved Anthony Edwards on ER.
He looks like a baby in the thumbnail ☺️
This is the first "reacting to" video I've seen that seems honest, honestly.
Linda Fiorentino was the morgue doctor from Men in Black. As for the car it was a 1984 Dodge Colt GTS Turbo. I owned one in the late 80's. 1985 was the start of her career with Vision quest as her first movie and Gotcha her second.
Great. The last time I saw this movie was on HBO back in the late 80”s.
Sheryl Brewster, the spy from Pittsburgh sounds like a series of books about a single mother struggling to balance a healthy, happy home raising her children and her life as a world traveling secret agent. It's a quirky, complex and humorous story and Zoey Deschanel can play Sheryl in the movie.
When this was filmed, the game was played in a circular list. You eliminated a player and you got reassigned their target.
In real life there were some rather insidious aspects to the game. I recall one college girl who picked up a target at a dorm happy hour, lured him back to her room, where her boyfriend (in the game) eliminated the guy :) Literally a true story.
"Tuff Turf" with James Spader and Robert Downey Jr is very similar if I remember correctly.
Wow. This is such a wonderfully obscure 80’s film. Kudos for both requesting and reacting this this lovable gem.
One of my favorite forgotten films!
Nice! Probably the only reaction to this movie on RUclips. Thanks for doing it. Love the title song.
I remembered the film, at that time i moved to Europe as a student, saw it in the cinema! I was raised in Malibu, LA County,, LA, Ca, albeit most of my childhood in boardingschools! This was a fun film!
This movie was in our home video collection in the 80s. I wore the VHS out.
The car was most likely a 1985 Plymouth Turismo Duster.
I've always loved this movie. Great theme song too. 2 of Linda Fiorentino's (Sasha, Cheryl) most famous roles were in Dogma and Men in Black.
This was my favorite movie when I was 6 or 7 years old in the mid-80s, but omg so much of it went over my head.
Like the fact his "courier" girlfriend, who wants to take him to East Berlin behind the Iron Curtain, has a *big fat red
flag* of a Russian accent.
The actress you've seen before is the great Linda Florentine.
Love this movie. So glad you guys did it
Monolo's nice car was a Dodge Daytona... mine was white at the time.

HELL YES! So many people I know do not know this movie and I used to watch our tape of it all the time when I was a kid. Gotcha's gonna get ya!
I didn't realize Ghislaine Maxwell was in this film.
Always loved Gotcha! ❤️
The car is a 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. It's the same car Stepfanie Kramer drives in the tv series Hunter.
dont know how you came up with this classic, I just looked last night to see if there was a reaction to this movie. ..your the first.
Parnod is a licorice flavored liquor, much nicer than oozo in my opinion.
The car is a 1985 Dodge daytona turbo z, it had a chrysler badge because because dodge worked with chrysler so they made it together. It has chrysler parts in it. Dodge and crysler had a long working relationship. Chrysler and Dodge have a parent company called Stellantis.
Oddly enough, we had more freedom in the 80s than we do now. lol
probably had more in East Berlin, too
I've always liked this movie and I always used to get the title mixed up with Tag: The Assassination Game (1982), starring Linda Hamilton and Robert Carradine.
Yes. I love TAG.
