“Ass like a 10 yr old boy!”
Bill Paxton gets me every time 😂
RIP
What if it was an adlib lol
@ryanvincenec3511 I grew up in the South, and gave heard literally thousands of one-liners, and I've never heard those before (or since) I saw this in the 7th grade in '94. I think it was an ad lib. Also, I use "...makes you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk" at least once a week.
@@dy120481 yeh this whole scene was amazing from Bill. He was so into the character. I doubt most of it was scripted.
Paxton in True Lies is comedy gold. He was born to play that role.
For a 39 year old Rewatchables junkie, this episode is a treat
For a 38 year old Rewatchables Junkie, this is a treat, and I’ve not even seen True Lies 😂
Same sir, absolutely the same. I just saw it pop up on the feed and immediately said, out loud, “F&CK YES!!”
@@MrBendacornasome of my favorite rewatchables are for movies i don't like or never even saw
SAME.
42 years old here. Remember seeing this in the theater with my dad and bunch of buddies. We were 12
I'm so excited for this episode.
One of my dad's favorite movies, and he unfortunately passed away in 2013, so it holds an extremely special place in my heart. I love it for so so many reasons but i also think of him everytime I watch it.
A true Rewatchable
This is a true rewatchable
Bill insisting it‘s a taser is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. 😂😂😂
@@RobTheWatcher Bill never knows what things are and will go a whole pod calling someone by the wrong name.
I’m here for this. Bill was having a stroke like CR said.
Tranq dart.
Injectable.
Not a taser.
I knew it! Finally, I love True Lies so much. True Lies has low key one of the funniest scenes in a movie. When the harrier pilot asks Schwarzeneggers character if shooting missiles at the truck will set off the nuke and he tells them no and then turns to Tom Arnold’s character and does a funny face like, “Boy, I really hope not”.
This is Arnold's last great movie imo. It's incredible action, funny and has great chemistry with Jamie LC. It was the end of his Apex (from Predator-True Lies). A historic end to a historic run
When I saw the anniversary I was praying for this. Thank you guys 🙏🙏
“Ice cube trays outa the freezer “
Pretty woman 2 : back to the streets 😂😂😂😂😂
One of the greatest action movies of all time. Bill Paxton was perfect in it.
I love the look Van and CR give each other when Bill puts The Fugitive on the non-sequel list and they are trying to explain to him that US Marshals is a direct sequel 😂
1) you clearly can NOT put it on the no sequels list. Just a ridiculously stupid take. 2) I totally get where Bill is coming from. US Marshall’s feels more like a spinoff than a sequel.
Best 90's action/thriller/romantic/comedy ever made.
My first R rated movie in the theater. I was six. Thanks Aunt Diana and Uncle Ronny!
She wasn't listening to Cream, she was listening to the Living Colour cover of Sunshine of Your Love on the film's soundtrack.
You expect Simmons to have attention to detail?
Tom Arnold was like Kevin Klein in A Fish Called Wanda in this movie to me.
Love True Lies..it holds a special place in my heart, being the first movie i watched in theatres
This is the first action movie i ever saw. A guy had a tv in his backyard where he'd invite people to watch movies for 5 pesos in my town back in the Dominican Republic. I also watched Terminator 2 there that same year and learned years later that it had been released before true lies.
Funny how good movies touch us in a way that brings back memories of one's life when we first watched them
the bangers keep coming
Yup. Unfortunately, they’ve ruined them by putting Van on most of them. Its an automatic ignorethe moment I see him.
@@MRide3000 I'm curious why you were so compelled to write this in a public forum, like its wild. Keep it to yourself and just unfollow this channel, no one wants you here.
You guys miss the forest for the trees in the bond discussion. Goldeneye is the second most important bond movie outside dr no and the most important/best bond film in the last 40 years.
If goldeneye wasn’t a success after the dalton run, there are no more bond movies. On top of that it’s amazing.
Ikr! Goldeneye was not only back to what I like about Bond but the game it spawned on N64 is one of the best games ever made.
It's a *terrible* movie, but Goldeneye on the 64 was straight cash.
I've always said that. GoldenEye is the second most important Bond movie because had it failed, the franchise would've been over.
I'm so glad they mentioned the obvious stunt man in the horse scene. I've been laughing about that for years. Also, Apex Mountain; 1994 is the best year for movies of all time.
The best Rewatchables team !! These 3 are great together!
The best part of the Charlton Heston cameo in True Lies provided was the similar character he inspired in Team America.
Thank you CR for keeping Aliens and Paxton in the conversation. Classic stuff and subtle reminder that we need Aliens in Rewatchables
For real. One of the best movies of the 80's and that's saying a lot considering the movies in that decade.
This is in my top 25 of alltime. Never gets old!! The best Arnold has ever been!!
Unironically one of the Top 10 films of the 90s.
YES! This is a great Rewatchables episode. What a film!
"Are you guys looking for the work tranquiliser?" Incredible. 🤣🤣
So stoked you guys finally did this one. As for the “why is the daughter listening to Cream” thing though. She’s listening to the Living Colour cover, that was the promo song for the movie, and was pretty massive on the airwaves in the build up (remember having the cassette single and hammering it here in New Zealand). Her listening to it on the motor bike is a blatant homage to T2 with GnR on the motorbike.
Love the Pod keep em cranking.
14 year old me discovering Trading Places after I saw True Lies was quite the thing. JLC and those jubilees damn
I want Van saying "WHAT AN ACCUSATION!" as my ringtone. 🤣
@@BehindTheScreen118 van is my type of guy. I want hear more about his porn addiction and subsequent VHS collection lol
Pretty Woman 2.."Back to the Streets"
😂😂
They planned a sequel to this movie, a script was even ready with James Cameron returning to direct and Arnold returning to star. But then the 9/11 attacks happened and the plot had a similar set piece to the actual 9/11 so they had to scrap it. Cameron said that after that Terriorsm was something not be made fun of after 9/11.
@@bhaveshdubey4488 Arnold was actually in a a film around 2001 about a terrorist bombing a building. Can’t remember what location the film was set in but because of the subject matter they had to hold the movie back a year and it eventually bombed in the cinemas, excuse the awkward pun.
Your fired. Arnold one liner on points,
Got around to watching this because yall posted. Incredible movie! I’m 25 and it 100% holds up
Brandon Lee mention. RIP
well, I now need to watch True Lies again this was a hilarious conversation.
I could listen to you guys reading a phone book- absolutely hilarious
Van and his 15 year old friends “bro I didn’t know she had it like that”
The three wizards of the Rewatchables. It's almost a drinking game how many times Van Lathan looks at Bill after a hot take like he's got worms coming out of his eyes. These three crack each other up, and me, everytime. I'd watch a Nell if it was Simmons, Van Lathan and CR.
I totally agree regarding renaming Dion Waiters award based on Bill Paxton's role in this. Dude absolutely CRUSHED that character. Arguably the best part of the entire movie. RIP
Always a pleasure to listen.
This is great but yall got to do 'Aliens" soon. My favorite Paxton performance
31:52 Van being hilarious
My hot take is Arnold is actually a really good actor. Not like on Daniel Day Lewis level, but really good. Him playing the Terminator, in T2 is a really good performance. He has to be warm and charming while still playing an emotionless cyborg. He pulls it off.
That take is more laughable than hot.
Tom Arnold Schwarzenegger
@@keeganshigh He has a scene in the jail break movie with Stallone. He does a scene in his native tongue and he's a much better actor. Seriously.
LOL he has charisma, but he is an awful actor.
Weve had so many bad portrayals of Terminators, or actors playing some kind of emotionless robot or whatever. But Arnold is great in both the first two Terminators. He's frightening and intimidating in 1, then he's charming and funny while still being intimidating in 2. With the exception of Robert Patrick, every other actor playing a Terminator has been bad at it, or at best serviceable but forgettable.
I still quote "The Bridge is OUUUUUUTTT!"
Isn't Mr & Mrs Smith the U S Marshalls style sequel?
the last stand before activita HAHAHAHAHA
Tom Arnolds' sister was a Breaking Bad style drug dealer. Good old Iowa, far more savage than what people have in mind.
1994 is the best year of all time and it's when we peaked
Strong agree a great year for both films and music
It feels like a no brainer that True Lies should have a sequel, BUT, in some ways I am glad it is kept as just a secular film. I can understand Bill's take that this being the best Bond since, really, the biggest truth is that this film shows off how good Arnold is at acting and with the right director. Very much like Total Recall-which involves the Spy genre-as Harry Tasker he is allowed to be a Bad ass, a Dad, charming, jealous, concerning, emotional. Most of all, it shows off how naturally good at Comedy he is without being forceful, cringy, or, trying too hard.
Example, when he is explaining Crimson Jihad's intentions when they are recording the video, its a great example of how he weaves the seriousness and comedy
The whole cast is just stellar at selling the physical comedy/sight gags (ha CR said it right as I’m typing this).
Both of the standout moments in memory are on the pole.
Tom Arnold “taking cover” and Jamie Lee Curtis “being sexy”.
Also honorable mention to the unnamed cameraman who runs out of batteries 😂
@59:00 talking about music/no music in the scene. They probably have an earpiece in, so they can hear the music, and move to it, but it's not "out loud" in the room where it would mess with their dialogue. That allows them to dance to the beat better, but also allows for easier sound mixing later.
When you're asking what they were trying to make, you guys are neglecting the most important thing about this movie:
True lies is a remake of a French film called "La totale".
La totale is so good that True lies coppied an enormous percentage of it.
That is the answer to "what were theyy trying to do".
This one is a banger, nowadays this type of action masterpiece is a bullshit throwaway flick straight to Netflix, starring 2 stunning leads with 0 chemistry who were paired up via algorithm.
I'm thinking you do a gender swap and Gal Gadot is the spy. Either Ryan Reynolds or the Rock as the lonely husband. No sex and no off color jokes.
Sadly you completely nailed it. They simply don't make action movies like True Lies anymore. And the Netflix ones are such poor imitations. I haven't even bothered to watch Six Underground, Red Notice, or The Gray Man because I just assume they're all bad.
@@spencerkindra8822 I thought Gray man was decent, but that one wasn't really a comedy though. It was more like Extraction than it was True Lies.
@@salprovolone7709 Good point, The Grey Man doesn't belong in the same category as those other two.
@@spencerkindra8822 i thought it was a decent flick, you should check it out- maybe i would compare it to Matt Damon's Bourne films if anything. The other ones you mentioned i havent seen- i had zero interest to watch Red Notice, because im not really big on The Rock or Ryan Reynolds.
Would you press the button for the top floor, please? Hell yeah Tom Arnold deserved a Best Supporting Actor nomination!
Apex mountain for the Westin Bonaventure Hotel is Midnight Madness and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
Hanks beat up and shot dudes in Road to Perdition. He was pretty badass in that movie
Such a great movie!
Showdown little Tokyo! Love the shout out.l!
What exactly was Harry's plan after Helen finished her dance?
was Van's VHS named 'Confession' (throwback to Primal Fear)
Apex Mountain for horse cops is Buttercup in Half Baked
Great spit take from Bill 😂
This might be Arnold's best PERFORMANCE but his best MOVIE is still Terminator 2.
I was so excited and worried at the same time. Excited cause i love this film and worried that Mallory Rubin would ruin the pod with an appearance from her. But alas she did not ruin this one thank god. Awesome pod thanks guys
This movie is amazing!!!!
Arguably Arnold's greatest performance, but Predator is still my favourite. The ending, with Dutch beaten and broken after losing his entire team, is something else.
I think you guys should do a Rewatchables on Last Action Hero because that movie, all the satire and critiques on Hollywood, Movie Stars, Big Budget movies, etc., you can STILL apply it to this day. And, Arnold really gives a damn good performance especially when Jack Slater comes into the real world. The self analyzation, Arnold was doing this way before it became a thing actors do on SNL for laughs. I chalk it up to Arnie's ego, but, if he moved the released date of LAH a week or two prior to Jurassic Park, it would have fared better at the Box Office
The sequel to True Lies is a Netflix series called Omega Sector staring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the head of OS and his daughter is the new head spy working with the 3rd guy in the van they go on missions around the world
Agree with you guys 💯 that The Rock never had or never will have the star power of a Schwarzenegger or Stallone. These guys were truly "the last action heroes" of our (Gen X) generation
"maybe she's sleepy"
My favorite line in the movie. Still makes me laugh. 😂
0:28 the best Bond movie of the last 40 years is either Casino Royale or GoldenEye. Skyfall is really good but it's not as good as either of those movies. But I think the best non-Bond movie that feels like a Bond movie of the last forty years is The Rock because it's an unofficial final film Sean Connery movie.
Move all future filmings to Friday afternoon!!
name of Van's tape is "spank Bank"
I made a similar VHS compilation tape when I was a teen. You really had to work for your porn fix back then.
The best Rock performance is the lead-up to Wrestlemania 40
Anyone notice the name on the door of the office destroyed by the Harrier Jet ? D. Simpson! 2:10:53
Pretty woman 2 should be Richard Gere goes broke and has to start hooking to make ends meet, reviving American gigolo extended universe
Bill might need to work on that Nell impression a little bit.
True Lies Arnold = 2000 Shaq
Van on any Rewatchables episode is great.
Jamie Lee Curtis is Dak Prescott, God bless you, Bill, never change
"What is Dak Prescott's Halloween?" haha
Fubar is the spiritual sequel to True Lies
The build up to Tia Carrera is sublime
I mean, you could do Aliens with Paxton since Alien Romulus comes out next month.
Van: "Started selling yogurt to make you go to the bathroom." Mt Rushmore Rewatchables comment.
Some of your so fucking boorish and stupid.
Sicario next?
If they picked HANKS over CRUISE for TRUE LIES ..
I was ready to unsubscribe

Insert Embid jab. Check and mate.

I would've watched True Lies 2 directed by Renny Harlin. The Long Kiss Goodnight is pretty close.
Weird timing 1:35:10. Is this a bit?

Just changed it to Van's Rewatchables already.
