T1000 is an amazing movie monster, but this guy is absolutely an incredible villain. There's no question that he's got the brains to match Slater's brawn - look how quickly he learns and exploits the differences between the movie and real worlds, including their assumption that he made a movie mistake. Given a week or so this guy would absolutely rule the local gangs.
I like the fact the ticket does not work when Benedict says "now". It's like the ticket is smart and does not betray the plot of the Jack Slater movies, even if it's in the real world: the hero wins and the bad guy dies.
Maybe it’s both. It seems the movie goes through the plot motions (Jack getting betrayed and being in the right areas by convenience) but also never working at exactly right times, like the dynamite going through the screen first rather than the bomb that kills the second cousin.
If you notice, he fires four shots and the revolver clicks on the fifth which might tell the initiated that there is still one chamber left. That's a great detail.
I hated this scene as a kid because when he started talking about Dracula, Freddy Krueger and King Kong, I suddenly really wanted to see all of them and was disappointed that I didn't.
They could totally make a sequel to this: some kid finds the half of the ticket that fell in the street and all hell breaks loose and a grown up Danny still has the other half of the ticket and helps the new kid get things back in place again. I think it would be great if done properly.
"The bad guys can win." Such a sad truth quote. Unfortunately, in the real world, majority of bad guys can easily win because they don't have nothing to lose. No fear.
Obviously they ALL have never taken the Heat, like in: • John Wick Chapter 3 where John Wick has to fight off everyone trying to kill him over a US$14 million bounty on his head. • Need For Speed HEAT where street racers at Night must outwit, outdrive and outsmart a rogue police task force who have been abusing their police authority just to steal cars from every street racer in the city and scrap them for cash & will use any lethal force to stop them cold.
@@TDKiller415 Yes both movies are great, the thing is that Alex Kurtzman like an idiot didn't want Dracula Untold to be part of The Dark Universe. Instead he went with The Mummy and thought that a circus midget pushing 60 would help it and instead that circus midget destroyed the film with his ego like he did with Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut according to R. Lee Ermey in an interview from 2006.
Tywin : "Does it bother you when they whisper bloodsucker behind your back" Dracula: "Of course it bothers me" Tywin: "The lion never concerns himself with the opinion of the sheep"
That's quite an interesting concept for a sequel. Imagine someone getting a hold of another magic ticket and using it to unleash an army of infamous movie villains.
No joke, my heart skipped a beat when Jack was shot the first time watching this. I didn't know how the movie's gonna end, whether Jack will live or die.
It would be scary if all those villains Benedict mentions actually got into the real world. They might as well make a sequel called Last Action Hero: Attack of the movies.
Benedict basically summed up RWBY Volumes 3 and 8, Avatar the Last Airbender Season 2, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Avengers: Infinity War.
Now that I realize it. If this character was trully free, why was he still stuck as a villian? It reminds me of Moriarty from Star Trek. Once he realized he was no longer stuck to the rules of his programing, he became a whole new person no longer desiring to be evil because life had a bigger purpose.
Seriously, Arnold went up against the Terminators (T-1000, T-X, T-3000 and Rev-9), Thulsa Doom, the Predator, Arius and Bennett, Webster and the Klane brothers, Damon Killian and the Stalkers, Vilos Cohaagen and Richter, Cullen Crisp, Noah Banes, Salim Abu Aziz, Robert DeGuerin, Myron Larabee, Michael Drucker, Jean Vilain, Warden Hobbes and even Satan himself. But NONE of them could compare with Benedict. A villain who knew the laws inside and outside the movie realm, even recruiting others like the Ripper, was definitely the most dangerous of them all.
Man, this movie was made about two decades too early. If it were made today, it would be absolutely amazing. Hell, you could even recast Charles Dance!
Imagine if they did a reference about that. But for me I choose a villains of my own including, general grievous, jango Fett, Darth maul, tarkin, captain phasma, Venom, Red skull, Ultron, green goblin, doc ock, doctor Doom, Zurg, yokai, ursula, jafar, scar, shere Khan, hopper, syndrome, Randall, maleficent, tamatao and Dr facilier.
Imagine if he brought King Kong into the real world and almost immediately he collapses under his own weight into a monster-sized monkey mess, because square-cube law

If they remade this movie the best idea for a clímax would be Arnold calling all the heroic characters he interpreted over the years from the movies to defeat the villain. Especially if they are leaded by Hercules, the first lead role Arnie played.
My boy really be doing a cowboy load, i heard it was actually a thing but for older revolvers they left one empty for safety so they dont but the firing pin/hammer and blow off their fat toe.
This is such an underrated movie and underrated scene You come to realize that this movie does *so much work* abusing and subverting action movie tropes: Both Benedict and Slater are *_incredibly_* genre savvy, it *doesn't* just come out of nowhere, and what looks like a standard action movie villainous monologue scene is low-key a game of wits.

It's an absolute shame that we didn't get more of Charles Dance. A perfect delivery of charm, wit, humor - a real villain.
I think GOT was more than enough of a consolation prize!
Benedict was such a great villain. Crafty and actually intelligent, like the empty chamber trick.
To bad he was also dumb enough to have a bomb in his eye socket.
"Dracula? ha! I can get King Kong. We will have nightmares with Freddy Kruger. We can have suprise party with Adolf Hitler. Hannibal Lecter can do the catering." Very scary dialogue. But outstanding.
Maybe Benedict should try and bring up Dio from JoJo, Ursula from Little Mermaid.
That would have been an awesome crossover
And then we'll have a christening for rosemary's baby!
Hannibal lector would of tried to kill him for the simple fact he has killed children.
...and have a christening for Rosemary's baby.

2:21 this is my response to the emoji movie
This film had to be ahead of its time. Its aged well
I legit want to see a sequel to this movie where those villains run rampant
It would be scary if all those villains Benedict mentions actually got into the real world. They might as well make a sequel called Last Action Hero: Attack of the movies.
Pretty sure most of those guys would've just killed him or eaten him.
Last Action Sequel.
" No sequel for you.." is the line I use when I blow someone up in a video game lol
Notice this: Hitler was so evil that Benedict actually thought he was just another movie villain.
This short clip alone is so good on its own as a short.
Incredible scene
Benedict basically summed up RWBY Volumes 3 and 8, Avatar the Last Airbender Season 2, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Avengers: Infinity War.
"IN THIS WORLD, THE BAD GUYS CAN WINN-AH"
This is the best scene of the film.
I smile when I realize, what a wonderful time it was to be a kid!
Tywin Lannister got terminated XD
Better than being shot with a crossbow on a toilet.
“Seeing as you’re about to die anyway, I might as well explain the entire plot!”
"Anyone who says 'the bad guy wins' has not truly won."
Exactly...he was riding high on the possibility of finally winning for once.
Now that I realize it. If this character was trully free, why was he still stuck as a villian? It reminds me of Moriarty from Star Trek. Once he realized he was no longer stuck to the rules of his programing, he became a whole new person no longer desiring to be evil because life had a bigger purpose.
I saw this in the theatre when it came out and I loved it, but I was the only one at that time that did. I’m glad you all came around finally.
Bro We need a movie about a Villain summoning other villains from different series then the protagonist fights them one by one.
Best kill of all time...right in the eye
It's funny that he mentioned Dracula because Charles Dance was in a Dracula movie, Dracula Untold, years later.
This movie is so meta, and I love it.
My favourite Arnold one-liner.
Horribly underrated movie
Yup.
Seriously, Arnold went up against the Terminators (T-1000, T-X, T-3000 and Rev-9), Thulsa Doom, the Predator, Arius and Bennett, Webster and the Klane brothers, Damon Killian and the Stalkers, Vilos Cohaagen and Richter, Cullen Crisp, Noah Banes, Salim Abu Aziz, Robert DeGuerin, Myron Larabee, Michael Drucker, Jean Vilain, Warden Hobbes and even Satan himself.

Man, this movie was made about two decades too early. If it were made today, it would be absolutely amazing. Hell, you could even recast Charles Dance!
Oh God no. He’s way too valuable to be recast. Sure he’s old, but it’s too much.
2:12 I just noticed that brief shot of him is an animatronic puppet and a reference to the end of Total Recall.
No next season for Tywin Lannister

damn lanisters!
Mr.Benedict is a gentle villain.By the way,his gun 's awesome.
his name is Tywin you idiot.

Awesome how charles dance mentioned Dracula, and then ended up playing a lead part in Dracula untold 👏 😊
2:04 how the hell did he do that?
I was wondering the exact same thing! How did he jump high enough to do that?
Ali Aljarrah 😂😂😂 it looks ridiculous seeing this as an adult now
Because that world was a movie world as well, and they didn't know.
Only Death knows they are inside of a movie.
pulled an arya on ole Tywin
Imagine if they did a reference about that.

Gotta love Mr. Benedict!
He sure goes out with a bang!
I can say that charles dance was unreal to do the benedict bad guy role. One of his greatest acting in this comedy movie.
The explosion was so powerful, Benedict was blown all the way to Westeros.
Benedict's gun was ridiculous & awesome.
With all the 90's remakes right now, why can't we get a sequel to thi5?

over the 'broken arm' worked

Hannibal Lecter ™️ can do the catering; and then we’ll have a cristening for 🌹 Rosemary’s Baby ™️!
(Continues 🔥 firing at them)
Benedict: All I have to do is snap 🫰 my fingers, and they’ll be here!
They’re lining up ⬆️ to get here; and do you why, Jack?
Shall I tell you why? 🤨 Hmm?
Because here in this world 🌎, the bad 👎 guys can win 🏆!
I shall miss you 😢, Jack.
(He 🔥 fires and runs out of bullets;
Jack stands up ⬆️ and walks over to Benedict)
Jack: Gee, did you make a movie 🎥 mistake?
You forgot to reload the 🦫 damn 🔫 gun!
This one scene is better than the entire second half of Game of Thrones.
If they remade this movie the best idea for a clímax would be Arnold calling all the heroic characters he interpreted over the years from the movies to defeat the villain. Especially if they are leaded by Hercules, the first lead role Arnie played.
My boy really be doing a cowboy load, i heard it was actually a thing but for older revolvers they left one empty for safety so they dont but the firing pin/hammer and blow off their fat toe.
This is such an underrated movie and underrated scene
You come to realize that this movie does *so much work* abusing and subverting action movie tropes: Both Benedict and Slater are *_incredibly_* genre savvy, it *doesn't* just come out of nowhere, and what looks like a standard action movie villainous monologue scene is low-key a game of wits.
