I erased this movie from my mind, but thank you for bringing back joyous memories.
"You're luggage", the best line in the movie!
That's a good one, but my favorite is when the little girl tells Arnie, "earth. Welcome" 😁 😁
"you are luggage"
Classic line
As an artist I have to say my favorite eraser is a magic eraser! Been using them for 35 + years lol
I think this movie had some of Arnold's best kills. He stabs a bad guy through a door and then stabs another bad guy with a sharp piece of wood that he had just pulled out of his own wound.
Here's the thing,this film was one of the last big budget rated R action films the studios did in the 90s.The studios shifted all of there film production to PG 13 films because they wanted teenagers to spend money and more specifically,the studios wanted kids/teenagers to buy tickets to watch the movies,multiple times and also,the international audience was strongly changing what type of big studio films were being made.
"And the train conductor was in on it the whole time". 😂 That made me giggle out my doritos.
Arnold was always the most loved action star in my house growing up, but I forgot all about Eraser! Such gold.
“You're Luggage” Another brilliant review to a arnold masterpiece. keep it up.
Nice call to the rock too :)
hey redeye, after your opening eraser joke I think you're gonna love the movie Rubber
If the vault is made of metal, it will block radio signals.
Even if it is made of concrete with steel mesh, the mesh will act as a Faraday Cage and block radio signals.
C'mon RedEye... do you even science, Bro?
The EM Rifle always reminded me of the alien gun in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter with the green trails.
I love this movie me and all my friends saw it the day it came out in theatres with my dad. The skydive scene is still my favorite and this was the last awesome action movie Arnold made. Also then shop at Lowes
Arnie was my favorite action star growing up, this is a good one!
You may aswell do Total Recall and The Running Man, the jokes write themselves in both movies
Oh man, the one-liners in The Running Man never end...it's great.
I remember during one of those TV/Movie breakdowns videos that blew up during the pandemic, they were talking about this movie and how that x-ray gun would be more deadly to the person holding it because of all the radiation.
🤣😅🤣
It's a rail gun it uses magnets so it's more like emp not x rays
@@pghudd yeah the producers could explain it saying “eh it’s more like an MRI. It uses magnets to see through shit. Don’t think too hard about it”
The thing is an X-ray scope would be really dumb. Our eyes (and the devices we use to augment our eyes like scopes, binoculars, cameras...) detect light that's reflected from the surface of the thing we are looking at. A medical X-ray doesn't "see" reflected x-rays, it detects how much radiation passes through an object. More dense things allow less radiation to pass through while less dense things allow more to pass through. An x-ray detecting scope needs a source of x-rays to work! A scope that detects x-rays couldn't send out x-rays to have them selectively go through things then bounce back from what you want to see. You'd need to have one team "shining" an x-ray source through your target towards the person with the weapon! The shooter would be bathed in radiation while they are lining up their shot.
@@mr.pavone9719 so then.... no X-ray glasses for me then
"The script was terrible." Bold words for the lead actor in 'Cobra' and 'Over the Top'.
Yeah , and ' Rocky ' 😄
IIRC this was getting towards the end of the golden age of 80s\90s action flicks. Still a fun flick, even if it has issues.
3:26 That is 100% realistic due to the Faraday cage effect. The vault is basically a metal box. Probably thick steel rebar re-enforced concrete or even full steel plate encased. Which makes it very hard, if not impossible, for radio waves to penetrate the room's walls. Depending on the frequency and the actual amount of conductive material in the walls.
I love Eraser. One of the last true Action Movies that Arnie done before his eventual decline into mediocrity.
Well said. Which film did he do after Eraser??? I remember he had some type of surgery back in the 90s,didn't he ??? And after the surgery Arnie made The Sixth Day,End of Days and Colateral Damage,if I'm not mistaken.
@@powerbad696 After I saw the tv ad for Collateral Damage and saw how shitty it looked I knew things where changing.
@@Veldtian1 Did you watch the movie tho ??? LOL.
@@Veldtian1 Did you watch the movie tho ??? LOL.
@@Veldtian1 Did you watch the movie tho ??? LOL.
You should really do True Lies! I’d love to see your commentary on that one ❤️
The duplicate drill bit joke is the best haha, I send a high five to you.
Lol I speak from personal pain
Nostalgia ride for me. 1996 I was in the army,stationed at Ft Hood,TX-assigned to 1st Cav Div-home unit-HHC-2/8 Cav. Remember seeing this film at the cinema,I enjoyed it,funny Arnie fans rarely mention this movie when they talk about his filmography. It's not Arnie's best movie and certainly not his worst,but,somewhere in between. Ah,those good ole army days !!! LOL. Had to make it fun,everyone I worked with were miserable,so I had to be the SPARK that lit the FUSE of FUN and Laughter. LOL.
Eraser is one of those movies Arnie made when he was on a bit of a down swing and I think because of that it's not as talked about as his other movies but I'd put this up there at the higher end of his more middle of the road efforts. It's not exactly an action masterpiece like a Terminator or True Lies but few are. This also has what I think is an insane performance by James Caan that is also overlooked. I have to imagine it was a choice for him to look kind of confused and like he couldn't care in a lot of his scenes. Like when he's talking to James Coburn and Coburn tells him to bring back Arnie alive, Caan gives this look that is impossible to describe yet feels perfect for the moment.

I originally thought your Steven Seagal impersonation was an award-worthy masterpiece of vocal gymanicism....
But then I heard your Arnold impersonation...and only THEN did I truly understand that your vocal skillset truly knows NO limits.
Oh my god the beginning already killed me. You are funny as hell
Your accents are great! Lol I love waking up on Saturday n watching your new upload. Thank you Broseph!
Great Arnold voice - I love it!!
You should do a short 3-minute version of one of these, ALL IN an Arny voice.
And love the line, "Have you ever tried to dress a toddler?" Great line!!
I think your arnie voice is hilarious made me laugh every time.🤣🤣
“Johnny?!”
That delivery by James C gets me every time…
I forgot how insane this movie was. I saw it in the theater decades ago and was a wee lad when it came out, apparently not realizing how convoluted that plot was.
My dude that was the best Arnold impersonation ever. Second only to your Steven segal. Ty
"My evidence is hard!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Good one, RedEye! My mighty Decepticon Army is in stitches!
Now I'm trying to imagine a sequel to Eraser that was just all about the legal fallout from the stuff that came to light about Cyrez. Like Erin Brockovich, only with an improbably shady defense contractor selling ultra-tech weapons to terrorists instead of something mundane like pollution.
(Not to suggest that defense contractors are not shady, but their shadiness tends more toward quid pro quo and lobbying to get governments to buy their stuff)
Eraser taught me that Vanessa Williams is hot.
Seagal movies? Sly? Arnold? This channel just keeps getting better.
I literally just watched this yesterday after I got off work 😂😂
I remember loving this movie as a kid. lol Great video man!
Totally missed an opportunity to drop a "I'm just here to tie up the line" joke at 13:58
I love Hollywood ammo,
They have got so clever only hurting the actors the script says. 🤩 🎥 amazing.
"the speed of light must be on dial-up".... perfect.
And even now at 59, Vanessa is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
This movie is a master class in catch phrases that never caught on.
I’d never even heard of this movie until 2 weeks ago. Can’t wait to watch it!
5:15 I always thought of this gun when I played Perfect Dark on the 64 while using the Farsight alien sniper that could see through walls and have a tracking mode. Oh and it was a one hit kill.... Starting to see the where the game got the inspiration from
Pixar could remake this and have Arnold voice that pencil eraser
That intro with the imaginary ear piece and the joke is awesome. Eraser's a cracking film. So is the humour throughout, especially the duplicate drill bits, and then covering your arse with the disclaimer like that... 😅🤭😆🤣
And damn, those EM guns are bloody incredible, but the creepy thing is, it's only a matter of time before they actually have those things in real life, if they haven't already that is, they'll just have to work on the optics a bit 😂
Had no idea about the trivia of Arnie not getting along with the director. I know it's impossible to get along with everyone, but you'd have to be a prize ass hole for Arnie to not even want to interact with you AT ALL. Talking about Arnie's interactions, that's a pretty good impersonation, better than the usual stereotypical shite, nice one 😉
Oh yeah, interesting as hell when you said about "this movie never ends, so this court scene could be an entire movie on its own", made me think of Clear And Present Danger. So maybe in an alternate reality, these are sort of 'cross over' films with shared cannon 😛😜
So glad you got some good laughs out of it all friend! And Arnie got along with everyone. It was the Director and Producer that hated each other and Arnie had to play telephone between the two of them lol
@@RedEyeReviews Ah right. Maybe that shit rubbed off on him and that's why he became the Governator then, decided to be the middle man between the public and the government 😜
It's going to be a good weekend now, thanks Redeye.
"My evidence is always hard."😂😂😂😂 Great review all the way up until the end
"This guy leans that plants aren't bulletproof" 😆
I've always been interested in seeing this because one of the writers is Michael S. Chernuchin, who's written for Law & Order. And I see that the doctor with the defibulator is Camryn Mannheim, who plays the captain on the Law & Order revival.
Take for granted? I always have more erasers than pencils. Also, the erasable ink is the greatest invention ever
I always ended up putting holes in my paper because of the ink. Fuck that noise
“It looks like this office was on a airplane…”. 😂
About the futuristic ''super rifles":
There are supposed to be railguns, that use electromagnetic energy to fire their projectiles.
The US Navy has build a working prototype irl and they even released an official video with the successful testing of the weapon. You can find it here on YT.
The problem is though, the real railgun is:
a). huge af, we're talking the size of a construction crane
b). requires massive amounts of electrical power, to fire a shot
and
c). the barrel of the gun gets lots of wear and needs to be replaced after a dozen shots or so, because of the massive heat & friction generated.
Basically, it's really impractical to operate at this stage.
That being said, the real life railgun fires a projectile made out of solid steel, that reaches Mach 5 and penetrates the thickest armor like if it's cardboard. If they could manage to make it more practical to use, it would be perfect as an anti-missile weapon, to shoot down anti-ship & cruise missiles or as replacement for conventional guns on warships. You could sink an enemy ship with just one well-placed shot, because the projectile punches through all the armor plating of the hull.
China, India, Russia and couple of other countries are also working on a railgun.
Of course, the version we see in the movie here, is totally sci-fi BS.
You nailed Arnold pretty good with that voice 😅
Dude you got to do the sequel: Eraser: No.2
Man I remember seeing this in theaters with my dad. I remember thinking...."eh True Lies was better".
Just subscribed even though I've watched a lot of your videos with so much laughter and joy. I have a must watch and do video movie for ya. It's a hidden jem by the name of Ice Pirates. It's a must watch 80s jem .wit a few famous actors in beginning movies 😆😆😆😆😆😜🤪🤪😋😛😝😝
You forget that when the guy calls his boss on the landline he uses an unbreakable code by saying their "music" has arrived because that's definitely a thing people working in the FBI evidence locker call people about. It's foolproof.
@RedEye Reviews thanks for doing this one I have it on DVD this was his last decent action movie
I loved this movie as a kid. One of the best old school action movies. Not to mention that ultra cool sniper rifle. It may be dumb as hell but it sure was cool.
this was so cool in the theaters i remember they were packed it was the same way with True Lies the theaters were mobbed. it was awesome.
Saw this opening day in the theater. Loved it.
The scope seems to be controlled with a zoom so whatever is currently at the distance set is where it looks. Not just off into infinity.
Oh, wasn't ready for the suprise James Coburn
"There's perfect reception AT THE DOOR, aaaaaand...now it's gone." Faraday cage, buddy.
7:46 I knew it was safe to fire a gun in a plane, despite all the propaganda.
ok, so the mobster who helped Arnie is also, I'm pretty sure, the hobo guy who took Kevin Costner to the Army outpost in Dances With Wolves. Also, a young Roger Sterling was in this movie. He didn't have a martini, though
Arnold did all his own stunts you say. I don't know that guy landing on the car at 8:40 does not look like Arnie.
The last great Schwarzenegger action movie in his prime. Saw it I'm the theaters. Love this movie. Just watched it on a flight last week and when the plane scene came up we hit massive turbulence lol
90s movies had so much heart.
@3:25 of all the things to pick on in this movie you're going with "how do thick walls prevent wireless transmission?"
It would presumably be a Faraday cage, specifically installed around the 'sensitive computer information' room.
@@mattrobson3603 that'd do the job. Also basic white noise devices: pumping out info on various bandwidths. But, like, it's not just relatively low bandwidth required audio. It's video. There's a reason your old school analogue radio worked pretty much anywhere but your old school free to air TV required an antenna on the roof. Frequencies required for video don't penetrate very well.
19:15 YES! you included my favorite quote!
I now am trying to desperately work "a hefty loaf of man buns" into common conversation.
The thing I always remembered the most about this movie was the guns lol
I remember going to theaters to see this... It was Arnold's comeback movie
This movie is awesome, I don’t care what anybody says, I’ll fight you
Great movie & choice! Never knew where the that word came from? Happy Arnold Brownschagner invented it, so this movie can happen.
The perfect movie to catch a train too
As an Arnold superfan in the 80's (and early 90's), this was the first action movie from him where I was like, I think I'm over him. I know Last Action Hero bombed but Eraser really felt like the point where Arnold just wasn't the man anymore.
Kinda of had ran it's course by this one.
It was fun, but generic. The rail guns were the main gimmick/selling point
Why exactly do you think so? And what's his best movie according to you?
This movie made alot in box office and was very well received by critics
True Lies was the last "He's the fucking man" flick - it was a great note to finish on
2:36 Since he shoots right-handed, he should display his badge with his left hand.
14:17 Unfold that stock, greenhorn!
15:01 More like Red Faction. It actually had a railgun (with a see-through-walls scope, even).
15:16 He's gunzerking! Why are those scopes offset like that?! Are they meant to be held over the shoulder like a rocket launcher? Then it would make sense to have the scope offset all the way to the left like that.
15:44 Hard to aim when you leave the stock folded.
Arnie dodged at the speed of light! The inertia and his sudden move at that speed would have created a rapid wave of pressure displacement- Wind at ludicrous speed!
Excellent movie review
It may have been one of the last great cheesy action movies but I’ll always remember this movie for how fine Vanessa Williams looked back then. Oh lawd 😋
The last truly great Arnold movie, and the one that inspired the best weapon in the Quake series.
Arnold had best post-kill one liners 🙂
I saw this in the theater in 1996. It was entering. I would say it was not that memorable. it was a popcorn action flex you forget about. I never saw this movie again. The only thing I remember is Arnold jumping out of the plane with the engine on fire. Thanks for the review. I forgot how entertaining the movie was. I even forgot who was in it besides Arnold.
The flick is fun, has good gore and a great cast. James Coburn? James Caan? Mark Rolston? James Cromwell? In an Arnie-movie??? And big guns galore. What is not to like??? And Vanessa Williams is hot af...
I KNOW I saw this movie when it came out,but remember nothing about it.Pretty big stars
in the cast tho.Wonder why Arnie didn't say 'see you later alligator' when he shot it?And love
how the car on the tracks exploded BEFORE the train hit it!
So ya gonna do "True Lies" next??
Please do more Arnold movies with the Arnold voice 🙏🏻
Also….my pencil has an eraser ✏️
9:41 he finally pronounced that word correctly
I never understood putting the clothes on the dead bodies. The clothes are going to burn up in the massive fire. If they needed the fibers or whatever, they could have just put them on top of the bodies.
And why did James Caan believe that Arnold was dead? Their literal job was to fake their deaths to erase people. He should have known it was fake and been super suspicious. Anyways, great movie. Arnold dressed as a balloon delivery guy never fails to crack me up.
Dearest patrons, please vote for The Warriors or Streets of Fire. I will personally thank each of you, with a blanket statement. Lol
STREETS OF FIRE!!!!
Striking Distance with Bruce Willy Style. one of the best 90s action films. gotta check it out Red!
If a weapon fires a projectile as soft as aluminium at "near the speed of light" that shot is going to melt before it hits anything but then the melted droplets would still be travelling at near the speed of light. Also friction from the droplets interaction with air particles would then also incinerate anything in its path. The sheer unnecessary absurdity of these guns is beautiful. Oh and I'm pretty sure these projectiles would burn so hot they'd do lethal damage to anyone firing the thing. Even with a proper containment field to protect the weapon itself, a human could not be in close proximity when it fires.
The aluminum is only a soft casing..this is to keep the slug from galding to the bore.
The main part of the slug must be strongly magnetic
Didn't even mention the absurdity of the people getting knocked back. They wouldn't move at all.
I'm more than a triple agent, a triple-triple agent squared. Betraying people I haven't met yet.
Saw this movie as a kid and thought it was the best action movie ever, now seeing it as an adult kinda makes me rethink that lol.
They play it as if he's a mild nuisance but there's something really disturbing about the guy who gets killed at Lee's house when the bad guys show up. They've split up, yet he just shows up and takes a shower casual as you like and acts like he was waiting for his wife to get home. Where did he get the clothes? Did he bring them with him since he doesn't live there anymore? Then he starts to get jealous that Lee might be seeing someone else and the doorbell rings and he goes to answer it. Presumably to tell whoever is at the door he's about to kill them, then Lee then himself. This is beyond stalking behaviour. He has broken into her house and is waiting for her so he can play house with a woman who wants nothing to do with him. It's the beginning of a horror movie for sure if Arnie doesn't show up.
The only thing I really remember about this movie is that rifle gun and an alligator lol
Saw this at, of all places, the AMC at Pleasure Island at Disney World during family trip. Then it was playing at the Chicago suburb movie theater I worked at so was able to check it out more.
Best part is the discussion on Russians no longer communists "don't make me hurt you, MIkey."
Pleasure island at Disney world sounds kinda fucked up
