Next of Kin: The Best 80s Action Movie You Never Saw?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- While everyone remembers Road House, which, despite underperforming in 1989, became a massive cult classic, it wasn’t the only action flick Patrick Swayze made that year. Towards the end of 1989, he starred in another action movie called Next of Kin. While largely obscure in his filmography, it’s a better-than-average thriller anchored by Swayze’s charisma and a scene-stealing turn by a young Liam Neeson, who’s practically a co-lead here - and it’s a pick of ours for The Best Movie You Never Saw.

Swayze was awesome in all kinds of roles for 3 decades , lost him way too soon.
Both Roadhouse & Next of Kin are the most underrated Patrick Swayze movies of 1989. Whilst Roadhouse is now fondly remembered, Next of Kin is largely forgotten. All the relationship between Swayze & Liam Neeson as the 2 older brothers of Bill Paxton is Solid. Neeson gives as good as he gets.
Like Road House, I think this film ( Next of Kin ) is pretty equal in action & mood. Its one of my favorite, of Patrick Swayze's movies.
Bill Paxton, Patrick Swayze, Liam Neeson, even Adam Baldwin, this movie is so full of badasses, it should be illegal ! RIP to Patrick and Bill, great actors and great human beings. Happy New Year everyone !
Also a young Ben Stiller

Some fun bits of trivia from a native to eastern Kentucky, one county over from where they filmed this. I knew the store owner who did some of the deliveries while the film crews were in town. One of my best friend's uncles was actually in the film in a quick little cameo (the mountain man during the train ride). And finally, apparently this movie gave something of a reputation to men from Kentucky, at least my area of the state, to some people up north in Indiana; I went to visit my friend (he and his brothers were living and working in the factories up there at the time), and a bunch of his co-workers had it in their heads we were going to be hunting someone down for doing some wrong on the family.
I still have the VHS copy of this movie, I really enjoy this movie still.
Love this star-studded movie. Rest in peace, Patrick Swayze!
What does it say about me that I have seen every action movie "you never saw".
That you have good taste!
It says that you love films. I also have seen all of these films in this series that JoBlo has put out. 😅
Same😆
That you're a person of culture
Yes lol
Swayze and Liam Neeson in the same film?!! Why are we not giving this more attention?!?!
Yeah solomon and michael collins
I still love Swayze in The Outsiders as Daryl.... 🕊️
So Beautiful Patrick Swayze 🥰🥰🥰
Love Next Of Kin, underrated for sure...Patrick Swayze always kicked butt, great cast...John Irvin directing and always loved action movies set in Chicago...Andrew Davis was another director who had great Chicago set action movies
I've seen it & it's one of my favorite Swazye movies. We ALL need KIN FOLK like Liam Neesom's character.
A early Swayze movie would recommend is Uncommon Valor. Swayze going toe to toe with Randall "Tex" Cobb is worth a watch 😎
Coming up on Best Movie You Never Saw - promise!
Another Classic. Great 80s action!
My favourite actor and my number one man of all time ❤
R.I.P Patrick Swayze
I loved this movie !! I got 3 counties of kin waiting for a certain amount of justice for that death. Thats a great line.
I found it hard to believe that Patrick Swayze never became an action hero.
I mean, with Road House, Point Break and Next of Kin under his belt, I definitely could see him give Stallone, Segal and Schwarzenegger a run for their money.
To me, Swayze WAS an action hero. How many fight scenes do you need in a movie? Swayze also had a GREAT body. He was sexy without being a jerk - which made him even more sexy.
Love this movie. I have an Uncle Gerald, and a large family of uncles who still live in Appalachia.
I love Next of Kin. Liam had a great southern accent. I showed it to my wife a few months ago. She loved it too. Way under-rated.
Patrick Swayze always gave it his all, when making these movies. This movie is one of my favorites.
I seen this movie on gritt back in day, when they show more than just westerns
Rest In Peace Patrick Swayze.
Thanks for the Video.
Happy and a HEALTHY New Year !!!
Saw this in 89, now have the blu ray in my collection. It's one of the better action films of the 80s.
I find it a solid action movie 🎬🎥
Next of Kin is a tremendous film.
This has always been my favorite Swayze flick the cast is spot on I enjoyed the story it was telling about family and justice.This film with both "Steel Dawn"&"Black Dog" are Swayze most underrated films IMHO. Fantastic job Chris as always👍👍 R.I.P To both Patrick&Bill both actors are still greatly missed and never will be forgotten.
Next of Kin is awesome. Way back when i was a kid they played it directly after Dirty Dancing on TV. Dirty Dancing at 830 and then Next of Kin at 1030. I got mum to record it on VHS for me. Great movie.
❤ literally grew up with this.
VCR baby!
Next of kin is on my top ten list, love it.
Well I have seen this movie!! Ha!
Also Swayze was super talented, the man could sing, dance, fight. Very well rounded actor. Guy was just awesome
Love this movie!! Caught it on TBS back in like ‘92 and immediately had my dad rent it for me next time we went to Blockbuster. Good times😁
Saw it as a kid. A very good Movie 👏👏👏
Hey Jo Blo would love to see you do a video on the underrated action movie Excessive Force(1993) with Thomas Ian Griffith, Tony Todd, Lance Henriksen, Burt Young, James Earl Jones
Always loved this movie, the late '80s sure had some good ones too like The Package and Renegades.
I have 6 uncles from Jackson, KY, which is where Swayze and his brothers are from in eastern, Kentucky portrayed in the movie, they do a good job portraying that brotherly love/counrty montra that you see in eastern UK with briar and Patrick. One of my favorite movies all time because it reminds me of my uncles. Lol
This put me in the mood to watch Point Break again
Happy New Years
Why hasn't anyone mentioned that Don Swayze, Patrick's brother got his start in acting in this movie?
He doesn't have a lot of roles but, he's gotten work in the years following this film.
And yes, obviously, he plays a member of the large family clan set on revenge for Bill Paxton's murder.
Don Swayze has a You Tube Channel. But he doesn't put out much.
@Jane_Dow really? Wow, pretty cool.
You can tell they're brothers too, with Don being the more rugged, chose a life working on a ranch look about him.
Great memory of seeing this movie in the theater! Miss those days of sneaking in to an R-Rated movie. Thanks JoBlo
The best movie I never saw if you don’t count the 100 times I’ve watched it 😂
lol I feel the same !
In Argentina was on tv every satuday, channel 11 use to have "sabados de super accion" super accion satudays, this and roadhouse always in rotation
I have seen it many times, I used to own the tape. Wore it out. I am a huge Swayze fan and knew every clip shown.
The setting was perfect and accurate. Reminded me of my mother's side of the family.
Next of Kin is one of my favorite movies......
I just love 80s movies ❤
will watch just for some early Liam Neeson. Also a huge Darkman fan.
Here's another awesome 80s action flick you never saw: Extreme Prejudice (1987) with Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Michael Ironside, William Forsythe, Clancy Brown...
thank you for your efforts!
Is there a video of your interview with Don Johnson??
Big fan of his, love Dead Bang too, really good film!!
Dead Bang is great, it really needs a good release even the old DVD was full screen.
R.I.P. Patrick Swayze & Bill Paxton
Point break,red dawn, Roadhouse, I've seen those and liked them. I'm not sure why I didn't watch next of kin or black dog, I think I'll give them a try. RIP Patrick.
This movie is underrated
Very underrated !!
Dude was in that North vs South TV series... 7 years old, i had my mom make me a light blue/gray uniform...
nobody puts baby in the...
No shit i was just thinking about this movie last night and watched some clips. This is one of my favorite movies i watched with my dad when out fishing as a kid.
i like that movie,especially the end part in the graveyard
Who said Swayze wasn’t an action star?! This is the first I’ve ever heard anyone say that
Really. Explain yourself, Sir!
Awesome movie 👍
The best role I ever seen Patrick Swayze in and the role that fits him the best is his role in Donnie Darko
I saw Next of Kin in the theaters.
Classic ❤
Seen it. There's a lot of stars in this movie.
Still a superb film
I saw it in the theater on release.
I saw Next of Kin in the theatre. I think I saw every movie made in the 80s in the theatre. My actions Heroes in the 80s and 90s were Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson. Swayze didn't come close to those guys. A couple of cool action flicks from the 80s I saw in the theatre no saw "High Risk"(1981) and "Let's Get Harry"(1986).
Yep - had it on VHS
I love next of kin ❤
Rodney Hatfield at 7:37 !
happy new year STASI
Anybody ever seen Magic Kid with T.J. Roberts (before he became Masked Rider)? It also had Don the Dragon
Used to watch that shit all the time on HBO. TJ Robert's was a badass. Tiger Heart was my favorite with him.
Tiger Warsaw!
Well I don't remember if I watched this movie back then, but I think I did 😉
Next of kin..was called Dirty fighting in Sweden..Wonder why..:)
I would have thought " Road House " would have been Dirty Fighting !
"Wanna play on my teeter-totter?"
Definitely never saw this.
One of my favorites I like it better than roadhouse
@ 6:28...Briar don't like Chinese food...Sets him off
I think I've seen this but it was a while ago
I can't believe people don't know about this movie
My mom liked it, but I never got into it. I would usually just get bored an leave the room.
I love next of kin I think I wore the VHS out. Could I make a request of the best movie you never saw it's called TWIN TOWN 1997 Welsh movie rhys ifans 1st movie his brother Llyr ifans plays his brother in the movie and dougray Scott was noticed in this movie by Tom cruise and got a part in mission impossible 2 but with the movie running over he wasn't able to play wolverine and it went to hugh jackman I think it was in the Guinness book of records for the most cursing in a movie it has alfie Allen's dad in it had a budget of 1.7 million I watch it at least once a year
I thought Black Dog was really good and I have it in my collection
Saw this with my uncle
Is that Ben Stiller at 4:50?
Yes, he plays his role well. The son from another marriage. Trying to move up in Daddy's crime family. It does't work out the way he hoped it would.
Black Dog?? Was that a movie he made?? Never heard of it!
Loved this film. Adam Baldwin was effective as the villain, he was annoying as joey lol makes you really wanna root for the gates brothers
That background music towards the end makes me anxious. Not a good choice for future ones imo.
Jack Nitzsche whose score was good - but he was fired towards the end makes audiences anxious. It was also not a good choice
for Revenge which he also got fired three times from the 107-minute flick for Sony Pictures Entertainment, StudioCanal,
The Samuel Goldwyn Company, Lakeshore Entertainment, RKO Radio Pictures, Halcyon Studios, TIG Enterprises & Scott Free...
but he came for one last time with both final scores: Mermaids at Sony Pictures Studios in 1991 and The Crossing Guard at
Paramount Studios in 1997 and after that, they're won't be any more offers for the Oscar winning composer. These are the
last sessions. Jack Nitzsche died in 2001 and survived by his second wife, Buffy and their children.
I've owned this film on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. I agree that it needs more action to be considered a classic. One minor thing that bothers me was Neeson's "southern" accent. It's terrible. 😅
👍👍👍🎥
It is so weird hearing Liam sound anything but Irish
Gonna do me some hunting.
Oh yeah, where at?
Cemetery.
Kinda shocked next of kin wasn’t pg-13. The hillbilly revenge chapter was so soft and underwhelming.
How is it that a "young" Liam Neeson looks 45?
This one had a lot of actors before they hit their prime. That Liam Neeson hillbilly accent though.....LOL.
I'm not happy coz there is this film he played in the 80"s I do not see in all the movie. I was young but I remember that movie even though i don't remember exacle but there was a word essence in it
Pssshh. Seen it.
You barely spoke about next of kin
Lol hellen hunt looked 40 when she was 12. Lol😅
Liam Neeson doing an Appalachian accent is...weird.
My man, it's bad form to rip on Baldwin's mafioso accent and then fail to LAMPOON Neeson's horrible hillbilly voice.
Neeson is an accomplished actor, but even his "standard" American accent has always been off, and the Southern dialect he tries to affect in this film is straight-up awful.
I no longer watch movies with Liam Neeson in them. Especially any with guns. I won't tolerate his hypocrisy.
This movie is all-time horrible.
Terrible review, not much on Next of Kin, more click bait.....
