1. I understand my attraction even more to Jeff Goldblum 2. I have only watched it one time. I was age 10 and my family watched this together on my mom's bed. My two siblings and myself. I had a meltdown watching this movie cried for maybe 30 mins after the ending. This movie has stuck with me in so many ways.
We were built tougher back then. Now, kids cry and scream like bitches when a mosquito buzzes 12 feet from their sensitive little noses. New generations ruined the world.
Will ALWAYS be the FIRST movie I seen that became worthy of being my first fav movie ever!!!!! I was 8 . I'll be 33 this year -2020 Edit 2021 still my fav. When asked what will be the movie I could or would watch before I die, it'll be this, The Green Mile and Jeepers Creepers oh and the other sister!!!!
This movie traumatized me as a kid but watching it as a teen made me realize how unrealistic my childhood thoughts were which put me more at ease and turned into an okay movie that i remember.
lamename I guess you could argue that the timeline is reverse of the chronological order of the movies. First he’s a teacher, then a chaos theory adviser, and finally a brilliant inventor of teleportation who has his deformed head blown off.
He was in shock lol he literally teaches this stuff daily and knew this was impossible,he explains it in the next scene to the sheriff when he goes to visit the kid at the hospital.
their "job" was to be sure our spirits werent acknowledged/believed for ANYTHING positive because it wouldve empowered our spirits/WE and this "movie" is feasible ...
I can't friggin believe this movie was hidden in the back of my mind till before I was making coffee talking about the 90s to my mates and this film came to mind so I quickly typed it in but i had to Google it because I forgotten the title...smh bloody hell..I can't believe I had forgotten about this great movie. I remember seeing it on HBO or something like that.👍🏻 Really great movie I'm going to rent it and watch it tonight.
one of the best films ever made...watched at least three of four scenes every two or three years...this year i'm due to see it entirely once again...for some reason the main charactrr always resembles michael jackson to me...longb4 mj was gone...
In the next couple of scenes.. He stated what had happened was impossible.. So as a teacher, a human he couldn't mentally believe what he was seeing, he became in awe or the typical flight or fight or freeze response. Notice once he realized or accepted what was happening he did try and stop it by knocking the Jacob's ladder down. What would you have done? He couldn't even believe what he was seeing!!!! He even stated that "It was like the electricity was coming outta him through the whole building" Meaning they all felt it. And possibly in the first few moments physically COULDN'T do anything
Jeff Goldblum is the new and accidental Borris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Peter Lorre all rolled into one, except with an added pinch of serious goofiness and lack of acting abilities. In fact, he's so amazing that no matter which role he's portraying he always (but ALWAYS) comes across as HIMSELF --- Now, THAT takes talent!
He's a character actor. Kinda like John Wayne. Character actors play one character in multiple roles. Still takes talent to memorize lines and turn in a believable performance.
And on this day...this teacher saw his career flash before his eyes, but running electricity thru a students body was the best way to get their attention...and it was the early 90's so it was ok to do so as long as it thru the weird kid
@@Tenchu_87 it’s only awkward because you lack that knowledge to understand in order to process it. But first you have to get it. But without that understanding it’s pointless.
I wouldn’t treat him any different. Especially if I had gotten to know his name his personality and he’s being. The other stuff wouldn’t matter because I got to know him first then after that it makes it easy to except his differences. It’s all about reading a persons vibe.
Saw this movie in the 90s on laser disk it is very underrated and some of the reasons for the dislike are true unforetunetly but it does not take away from a powerfully acted and unique story
Not really, if you were a science teacher and you were running an experiment with a jacob ladder. Would you think that the electrical energy from a toy ladder would jump out and lift a student into the air.
This version of it is actually still really good. It’s on Hulu now. Remakes these days are too half assed & they would through a bunch of woke bs in it
@@E1evenDegrees I don't think they'd throw woke angles into this. I agree, this is still a damn good movie. I'd just like to see it renowned. Current tech and all that. That's the main reason why.
Damn you Jeff Goldblum! Why didn't you just unplug the thing? This movie needed two things: Nic Cage playing the role he played in Wicker Man and Sissy Spacek as Carrie!
Powder: the scariest thing to be ground down to. A native full blooded American Indian Lineman named Billy. My grandpa. Now that would be an intense watch... If I could ever be free enough to earn the right and the money and the space to see it and really enjoy the flavor of the offering.
He should of turned off the Jacob's latter immediately. He just sat there and let it Fri powder. He also hit it with a stol instead of hitting the power button or pulling cord. Are future is only as smart as our teacher's
wow that scene was scary as hell id have been out that door at top speed but would have got help also no harm to Jeremy/Powder he was a real sweet guy but i can see how people were scared to touch him
I have at least a few things to say about that, even if this is a 6-year-old comment. Due to my experience as a child, I often hear rumors about other people from other kids who assume it to be true, just because they heard other adults say it. Take that and the experience that just happened, and some people will try not to approach him because they believe all that stuff is true, but they are only taking it at face value, never understanding things on the other shoe.
This movie was so good, I was 1 years old and was flooded with memories from this movie 3:34 Yes let me watch my student get electrocuted & levitate off the ground before I go calmly turn off this thing😂😂
As a teacher, I would love to have a colleague like Jeff Goldblum. Really smart and a freaking genius. But I would also love to have a colleague like Tim Robbins... Could listen to that man for hours!
actually it *is* boredom. electrons travel because they have nothing better to do and are so totally ready to do anything other than loop around in the same predictable fashion that when they are presented with even the slightest hint of an invitation to a different molecule, they take it, and at (almost) the speed of light!
The sequel is coming. It's called Lotion. The prequel is coming out too. It's about him when he was a infant. Guess what's it's going to be called? Baby Powder.
this movie was trapped in the vague memories of my subconscious mind from my childhood in the 90s.
Same, and another similar movie called Phenomenon. I ended up downloading both lol.
Have you seen or heard of a movie called : “the boy who could fly”?
@@requiem19
I loved Phenomenon too.
Same I kept asking about this movie for years and no one knew what I was talking about cause all I knew was “a boy was struck by lightning so he’s weird after.”
@@requiem19 yes....I have never forgotten either phenomenon or powder .always in the back but always peeking once in a while
I never understood why my family got so sad and cried at this movie but he is the definition of empathy
Why is the guy so white???

@@hawaiiman33Search RUclips for "There can be only one"
Exactly!
The law of conservation of energy.
This movie was terribly under-rated.
it’s cause of the problems with the director and disney
It sure was terrible.
@Sapphire Retro That's because you're probably a millennial who lives in an echo chamber.
jbscotchman And here I am thinking the opposite😂
nirvgorilla LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO gtfo
People always fear what they don't understand and what they fear they hate and what they hate they try to destroy.
You just described white people in a nutshell.
In short people are stupid
there’s tons of stuff i don’t understand that I neither fear or want to destroy I generally ignore it.
Most people are barely conscious chimps.
that was the directors defense at his trial! You two really think alike
Jeff Goldblum was such a great actor. Miss the 90s for the movies alone, that decade produced many great ones.
He was great in a film Into the Night.
You can tell that kid has potential.
I feel like this one went over most people's heads 😂
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!
Of course he does...he's a boondocks saint
Indeed LOTS of potential negative and positive. :)
@@christianromero6604 I'M THE FUNNY MAN!!!
Beauty is inside not outside, is one of the best movie ever made.
It's a pedophilic propaganda piece dressed up like a Disney film. Check out Victor Salva (the director) and then watch this scene again.
I haven't seen this movie in yrs. I really want to watch it now.
Me to I forgot it even existed now I'm on the hunt for it lol
1. I understand my attraction even more to Jeff Goldblum
2. I have only watched it one time. I was age 10 and my family watched this together on my mom's bed. My two siblings and myself.
I had a meltdown watching this movie cried for maybe 30 mins after the ending. This movie has stuck with me in so many ways.
Kid gets electrocuted in his classroom and he's like "hmmm, let's see how this plays out..."
"Hmmm, yes. yes. Electrocuted, right. Well, um. Lets. Let us, together. Let's see what happens, shall we?"
Well he knows that life finds a way. So he's not too worried I guess.
We were built tougher back then.
Now, kids cry and scream like bitches when a mosquito buzzes 12 feet from their sensitive little noses.
New generations ruined the world.
Dude he was literally in shock. He teaches this and knows this is impossible, he explains this when he goes to the hospital to see him
Jeff Goldblum is the perfect actor to play a scientist and/or a teacher :)
He seems like he brings too much sexual energy to the classroom. Given the fact that the director was a pedophile it really has a creepy vibe.
Will ALWAYS be the FIRST movie I seen that became worthy of being my first fav movie ever!!!!! I was 8 . I'll be 33 this year -2020
Edit 2021 still my fav. When asked what will be the movie I could or would watch before I die, it'll be this, The Green Mile and Jeepers Creepers oh and the other sister!!!!
My science classes were never this much fun back in school.
How long do you think I'll let you keep me here?
Most chilling line in the movie.
This was an amazing movie, I can’t believe it wasn’t more popular. It certainly effected me.
One of the best cinematic scenes ever
You don't watch a lot of movies do you?
@@Todd_Manus I was high
@@chrislancer3813 Ohh... my apologies, then it was definitely the best movie scene ever :-).
I watched with my 2 daughters when it came out and we all loved it
That's a lawsuit.
it’s a movie actually
Extremely underrated film
Loved this movie in the 90’s!
Awesome movie. I had never seen a movie like this before
This movie traumatized me as a kid but watching it as a teen made me realize how unrealistic my childhood thoughts were which put me more at ease and turned into an okay movie that i remember.
Poweder has a deep connection to nature herself
The fly...Jurassic Park..and Powder all happen in the same universe?..
lamename I guess you could argue that the timeline is reverse of the chronological order of the movies. First he’s a teacher, then a chaos theory adviser, and finally a brilliant inventor of teleportation who has his deformed head blown off.
He went from being a teacher, to a cable repair man. Believable I guess.
Its like the Will Smith universe since he literally plays the same in every movie.
THIS BRILLIANT BRILLIANT FRIKKIN BRILLIANT MOVIE !
SO WAYYYYYY TOO UNDERRATED FILM SHOULD BE RERELEASED !
This was a good movie, kinda want to see it again.
Powder , was such a good underrated movie. I enjoyed it . Energy never dies , it just transforms.
To bad have not heard anything about Powder since this movie really underrated.
Mr ripley certainly took his time😂
He was in shock lol he literally teaches this stuff daily and knew this was impossible,he explains it in the next scene to the sheriff when he goes to visit the kid at the hospital.
I felt like Jeremy too while growing up
I had no one to support me or accept me
their "job" was to be sure our spirits werent acknowledged/believed for ANYTHING positive because it wouldve empowered our spirits/WE and this "movie" is feasible ...
I wish this was in Netflix or hulu
$3.99 you tube rent

Both of them were so good in this movie.
4:22 The moment he got the teleport idea.
Nah, he needed to go to Jurassic Park first.
And the moment he realized Powder is manifest electrolysis
HEyyy!!!! I've been looking for this movie!!!!!!! Saw it on a Spanish TV station back in middle school!!
Yo 90’s movie was such on a other level !
Energy is everything..this was a Good movie❤️
one of the best films ever made...watched at least three of four scenes every two or three years...this year i'm due to see it entirely once again...for some reason the main charactrr always resembles michael jackson to me...longb4 mj was gone...
This was one of Sean Patrick Flannery's best movies. I absolutely loved it.
0:26 teacher out here being a wingman.
and he just gonna stand there and watch his student be electrocuted before doing something???
Right as soon as he started having a seizure I would’ve assumed it was the lights & stopped that shit
In the next couple of scenes.. He stated what had happened was impossible.. So as a teacher, a human he couldn't mentally believe what he was seeing, he became in awe or the typical flight or fight or freeze response.

Bruce Wilson ,,,talent? Nah. Good memory.
NothingMaster I know right! You nailed that. I've always loved Jeff
Jack Nicholson
Ryan renolds lol
I was born 1988. Powder was a great 90's movie. I have been trying to find it for 20 minutes. I can't find it on Netflix
That kid answered boredom. He’s correct
Incredible movie
And on this day...this teacher saw his career flash before his eyes, but running electricity thru a students body was the best way to get their attention...and it was the early 90's so it was ok to do so as long as it thru the weird kid
I'm fuckin dying at this comment. Thank you, this movie sucked hahahaha i cant even remember it!
Imagine if that happened in your class. Hahahahaha. Lunch is gonna be awkward.
I myself would just except things as they are. Which is what it is but there are some that are just afraid of what they do not understand.
Awkward to say the least
@@Tenchu_87 it’s only awkward because you lack that knowledge to understand in order to process it. But first you have to get it. But without that understanding it’s pointless.

great movie. one of the best
I love this movie!
If you see it as a super villian origin story, it works.
I always felt like him in school
Shits crazy but I never seen this movie but I reeeeeaalllllyyy resonate with this clip for some reason
Me too. I've seen this movie many years ago, love it 💕
Because electricity was always making you levitate in class?
I like how he must’ve come to class with his shirt open. There’s no way the electricity undid he shirt buttons
Michael Jackson is such a great actor.
tanner122772 remind me of him to lol
CLASSIC
riz1738 it is him, no other black person is that white.
@tanner
LMFAO
IT WAS A JOKE
He sure as hell allowed that to happen for a long ass time. lol
Its called shock, pun intended.
He had a baby. Baby Powder
One of the best movie I have seen in a long time

Thanks for commenting, I forgot about this post. haha

lol, I was watching the film yesterday and just had to see the scene again.
because he was probably in shock
... oh and cause it's scripted

And Electro was born
This just came up in my mind while I took a bath and I was like, yea I'm gonna watch that tonight
"Let's not turn it off until we've taken a good look at the floating child and the glowing orb within his chest. Say 20-30 seconds?"
Just stand there Jeff lol
And the teacher just sits there and let's it happen...sure...only in the movies haha...
He should of turned off the Jacob's latter immediately. He just sat there and let it Fri powder. He also hit it with a stol instead of hitting the power button or pulling cord. Are future is only as smart as our teacher's
This is scary
🙄Pulling the cord would have electrocuted him. Did you not see the sparks?! Ffks.
But yeah he should have turned it off before all that
Jeremy is beautiful in all the ways! Wonderful movie.

You could try starting some CPR?
Start with "SHAKE N' SHOUT: ARE YOU OK??!!!!
Just sayin'..........................
Probably a empty vessel no emotion.
That's one hell of a science teacher. Dude should be teaching psychology/sociology too
Reminds me of the Ghostbusters 2 court scene with ghosts in floating electric chairs
I remember this movie🎉
Cant wait to see this!
Life uh finds a way
As awful as this is going to sound, this gave me a good laugh, haha!! When Powder is gyrating mid-air, his convulsions were just too comical. 😆🤣
agreed plus the look on his face was priceless.
"..."
"... So anyway, read chapters 5 and 6 in your textbooks for homework. There will be a quiz on electricity on Friday. Class dismissed."
If Jeff was my teacher I’d definitely have a student teacher relationship 😌
Lol same Bestie same 😋💯

Really smart and a freaking genius.
But I would also love to have a colleague like Tim Robbins... Could listen to that man for hours!

This film was approved by the North American Man Boy Love Association.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver was a pretty good actor as a youth I see
