Funny how I realized how many lines I still quote from this movie. My favorite line was "thank you for believing." Or every time I really enjoy a movie or end a great T.V. series I almost always say " That was a great game" LOL
One of my all time favorites. The thing with Hook it's not a remake of Peter Pan but more of a sequel with Peter Pan being all grown up. I just purchased this in 4K and it looks stunning. Man I miss Robin Williams onscreen presence and what a wonderful comedian and actor.
The soundtrack is a somewhat forgotten masterpiece..It’s simply beautiful..I was lucky enough to get John Williams to sign one for me in the 90’s..One of my favorite treasures
Another bonus thing that you'd forgot to include, Minty: Dustin Hoffman had to wear a rubber suit under his costume that would allow them to pump cold water into the rubber suit due to his Hook costume being so heavy and potentially causing Hoffman to overheat from wearing it
@@jsmith5212 do you even know why he did it? You should be the one burning in hell for even saying that. Next time do your research before saying something stupid.
I have watched this movie for 28 years and to this day it is one of the only movies that I watch that will make me cry. Great fun. Thank you, MInty for sharing all these movie back stories.
Life is too short to be so serious all the time. This lesson has been taught to me from friends that I have already lost and I'm in my 40's This movie shows that exact thing. RIP Robin!
Minty! I swear to God that last night I was thinking to myself: "I hope he makes a video about Hook soon, it would be such a great film for a video." And I woke up today and there it was. So awesome! Time to watch!
I didn't see it in theaters at the time since I wasn't born in 1991(I was born in the year 2000) but from 2006 - 2009 I watched it on VHS all the time, and I researched it this month on Netflix and it still holds up even to this day. RIP Robin Williams you brought me joy and laughter in my childhood and you still do.
Saw this as a kid and is one of my all time favorites, watching it again from time to time and each viewing it still remains magical. Result of the cinematic genius of Spielberg.
Hook is one of my favorites! It brought back a lost memory that Peter Pan was one of my favorite books as a child. One of the reasons the action figure of Peter looked nothing like Robin Williams is from a long standing clause in his contracts that his likeness would not be used to sell merchandise. When he was invited to be in the Terry Gilliam Baron Munchausen movie as King of the Moon, his agent allowed him with the stipulation that Gilliam not “pimp his ass”-that is, don’t use Robin to sell the film. That is why you do not see his name in the credits, on any merchandise and not in the movie posters. You’ll see in the merchandise from Hook that there are no images of Peter Pan that look anything like Robin. Also, if you look closely, Dustin Hoffman visage also does not show up much in the merchandise as well. One of my favorite scenes in the film is when Captain Hook and Smee are discussing why they did not kill Peter when they first had him. It’s a lunatic scene played for laughs and I think it is one of the best parts of the film. Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins were having trouble trying to figure out how to play the scene. They decided to act as if they were two old drag queens having a lovers’ quarrel. It worked beautifully!
Oh i was most definitely creeped out when that fact was mentioned ... im so glad Robin Williams took the role RIP (he was one of the funniest men on the planet)
This is great! My father's favorite movie. I remember him calling me to his office when I got home from school so excited I thought something happened! He was a huge Peter Pan fan. Great times
I never listen to critics or look at websites like Rotten Tomatoes. The few times I have, I wound up absolutely loving the movie. I go with my own opinion thank you. I don't let critics ruin anything for me.
I Actually read rotten tomatoes to see movies I might want to watch. Ever since they gave a bad review of " Angus" ( which I loved ).I don't take any of their reviews seriously.
Yep! Just like with video games, I trust my own judgment on what movies are cool. My own judgment might be a bit flawed because I like Pixels, Little Nicky, Sherlock and Watson, and Zoolander 2.
Watched this film every day when I was a kid, now I watch it with mine. & the scene where Moira (Peter's wife) throws his phone out the window has led me to try to be the best father I can be... I can't thank this film enough.
I worked in a movie theater when Hook came out...imagine my surprise when I found myself working for and becoming friends with Tony Swatton, who made the hook and swords. An interesting detail only barely visible in the film is a Latin inscription on the dagger used to pin the kidnapping note to the kids' door that translates as "There are no children who love me."
20ish percent on rotton tomatos?! Thats criminal!!!! This movie is wonderful. It's full of action, adventure , thrills, chills, comedie and even romantic. I mean come on this is one of those movies that gets you inspired and felling good about life.
One of my favorite movies! The music for it is so fantastic! As for when Maggie sings, she's a little kid in a strange place. It's not too strange for a kid to do that as a way to comfort themself.
There were Hook video games for just about every platform. I had the one for NES, and I rented the one for Genesis once. SNES also had one as you mentioned, and I think there might have been one for Game Boy. They all played differently.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were considered for the role of Peter Pan. Linda Hamilton and Carrie Fisher were considered for Tinker Bell. David Bowie was the original choice for Hook but turned it down
Memories!!!!! I remember my mother renting this for me when I was 9. My name babysat me and ate so many sweets after the film I ran around the house crowing hyped up on sugar. Another quality post Minty. You never fail to entertain my fragile little mind.
Bang arang Rufio. It does ge cheesy at times but honestly best shot at a remake live action Peter Pan movie and it does feel like a honest sequel to the original story. The Neverland score in the movie is just beautiful. I dont know why but it always brings tears when I hear it when I'm watch the scene when Peter becomes Pan again remembering who he is flying around
First of all, I *love* your videos; they just really make my day, especially the kids 80s/90s movies. Hook especially is a long-time favorite. I would say that I used to daydream about flying away to Neverland, but i still secretly wish that lol.
Bonus facts: Gwyneth Paltrow is also Steven Spielberg's Goddaughter. She turned down the female lead in Cool As Ice to do Hook, as her Dad didn't approve of Vanilla Ice. Big was written by Spielberg's sister, Anne. When he was going to direct it, he wanted Harrison Ford to play Josh, the boy in a man's body.
One thing with Robin Williams was that he was very particular about how his image and voice were used. This was part of his dust-up with Disney over The Genie in Aladdin. That's probably one of the reasons that the action figure of Peter Pan doesn't look like Robin Williams in the movie.
I'm born in the 80's and growing up watching this movie and i still love it as i did back then. I was happy when i found a place on the net that sold the movie so i really love this movie and I'm a big fan of Robin Williams. I miss Robin Williams he was one of the best.
Got this movie when I was younger, and never knew what a gem it is! I got the dvd the day it came out. Bwahahaha, such a great time. Was lucky to pick up the games after a few years of searching.. .
Really appreciate how you mention movie related video games when available for each of your reviews - really rounds it out and anyone interested in your retro reviews were naturally kids at the time!
📼My father used to work at Tower Records I used to get happy when he came home with the yellow bag full of movies I remember him bringing hook home for me and my brother to watch
Critics are hit or miss when it comes to movies since they can't know what the general public will think. They could think a movie is the best thing ever only for people to despise it or vice versa
When you mentioned videogames, you forgot to mention the arcade game which was an awesome 4-player beat 'em up and is considered one of the best movie tie-in games ever made
I didn't see Hook until several years after its release. In fact, when I did finally see it, I was going through a nasty custody battle and my ex was being very creepy with the kids so I was very hypersensitive about anything creepy. So, when Hook was attempting to seduce Wendy away from loving her father, I saw it as him being, well, seductive, and ended up hating the whole film for it. It actually gave me nightmares and added trauma to an already difficult situation. Looking back now, I can recognize the film as being well done with many special original touches to the story, but I don't think I can watch it again.
i realize its 2 years later but Hook wasnt trying to seduce Wendy away from her father, he was trying to win favour with Maggie, Peter Pan/Bannings daughter....not Wendy. Wendy is played by actress Maggie Smith (younger versions played by Gwyneth Paltrow) but what i wouldve taken more issue with is the fact that Hook was toying with committing suicide, with a gun to his head. Pretty dark for a film generally regarded as a "kids" movie, even though its rated PG...still, i watch the movie at least a once a year cuz its so damn good. Rotten Tomatoes and every other critic thats ever bad mouthed this movie can take the hook off Captain Hooks stump and stick it, well, you know where.
This is the first movie I ever saw in the theater without my parents. I still remember that day and the movie and how it captivated my attention when I couldn't sit through anything.
I still have one of those movie posters. I think I remember my dad or sister winning tickets to the sneak preview or maybe that was when my dad knew someone who gave him a poster. It's kinda fuzzy now, but I know I still have the poster, somewhere.
Another great review Minty. I can't believe it's almost been thirty years since I saw Hook in theaters. This video comes out the same week as Robin Williams' (RIP) birthday. July 21 and happens to be mine too. Coincidence? I turned 42. The same number on that beaver basketball jersey behind you. Anyways, great movie with awesome performances by Williams and Hoffman.
I think the main difference in the sound stage looks is that Yoda's swamp and Krull's sets were built and filmed at Elstree and Pinewood. Neither of which are in Los Angeles.
One of my childhood AND grown-up favourites. I see you also have some Dick Tracy memorabilia there...Charlie Korsmo played Jack in Hook, The Kid in Dick Tracy, which till now remains one of my all-time favourite movies. I actually dream a lot about finding old Dick Tracy memorabilia 😆💛😎

Can we get make up in here for Mr Jackson he keeps sweating off his makeup. 2 days later Spielberg: Yeah get me casting department we need new kids these ones keep crying all the time!
9:15 Minty, the game was on ALL systems back then! The Sega CD version even had either a static picture of video explaining when Hook actually takes the kids from London. It was a picture of Hooks ship flying over London that begins the game with the MOON behind it!! Loved that game (& my Sega CD). Because it played the movie soundtrack and if you took your time on stage 1 you heard the tuba solo from the piece. And being a tuba player I was amazed not just heard the soundtrack in a game but then the tuba solo as well! The Sega CD was so underrated...and under used.
Another great segment Minty! Hook has always been a 'go to' flick!!! Question: who controls the amount of ads on your videos? I cancelled my premium sub (one of many) and it's been shocking, I dont remember there ever being 3 ads interrupting a 15 minute segment?
Same here. But I was born in 92 and didn't see the movie till like 96 or 97 so the toys were probably no longer popular or in production anymore by the time I was into the movie.

Favorite line: “Oh, _there_ you are, Peter.”
There's so many great lines in the movie, but I agree that one stands out.
Funny how I realized how many lines I still quote from this movie. My favorite line was "thank you for believing." Or every time I really enjoy a movie or end a great T.V. series I almost always say " That was a great game" LOL

Oh my God that's probably the most powerful scene in the movie funny you say that
Yes yes 🥰
One of my all time favorites. The thing with Hook it's not a remake of Peter Pan but more of a sequel with Peter Pan being all grown up. I just purchased this in 4K and it looks stunning. Man I miss Robin Williams onscreen presence and what a wonderful comedian and actor.
I don't know why, but I always liked Hook's line "Or *no* amount of clapping will bring you back from where *I'll* send you."
Ha ha! Classic! *Bumps fist*
And I thought Tinker Bell was lying about the clapping until this line
The soundtrack is a somewhat forgotten masterpiece..It’s simply beautiful..I was lucky enough to get John Williams to sign one for me in the 90’s..One of my favorite treasures
Another bonus thing that you'd forgot to include, Minty:
Dustin Hoffman had to wear a rubber suit under his costume that would allow them to pump cold water into the rubber suit due to his Hook costume being so heavy and potentially causing Hoffman to overheat from wearing it
I miss Mr. Williams
I cried when I heared what happened to him. I didn't know him personally but I felt like he was a family member

Hook was always one of my all time childhood favorites! Still love it today. Probably my most nostalgic movie!
The best movie to watch during the holidays!
For true
Minty! I swear to God that last night I was thinking to myself:
"I hope he makes a video about Hook soon, it would be such a great film for a video."
And I woke up today and there it was. So awesome! Time to watch!
I loved my Ruffio action figure. Film was a masterpiece. I swear the critics hated/envied Robin Williams and that’s all there was to it.
I didn't see it in theaters at the time since I wasn't born in 1991(I was born in the year 2000) but from 2006 - 2009 I watched it on VHS all the time, and I researched it this month on Netflix and it still holds up even to this day.

Hook is one of my favorites! It brought back a lost memory that Peter Pan was one of my favorite books as a child.

I had heard that when everyone was going crazy about Will Smith's genie.
Yeah Dustin Hoffman made this movie great. No better James Hook ever. He's like my Keaton Batman.
Chris Rose I totally agree. I even built his costume, right down to having a blacksmith make a steel hook for me.

I was never much of a Robin Williams fan but I did enjoy Hook. I loved the line where the old man says, "I've lost my marbles!"
Yeah that got me too
Watched this film every day when I was a kid, now I watch it with mine. & the scene where Moira (Peter's wife) throws his phone out the window has led me to try to be the best father I can be... I can't thank this film enough.
🤔🤔 same reason I did not have kids
A childhood classic and one of my favorite Robin Williams movies. Great review!
I watched Hook right after learning of Williams passing. It is one of my favorites of his.
Thank you Minty. Can you do one on The Sandlot?
Goonies. Has to be one on the goonies.
I worked in a movie theater when Hook came out...imagine my surprise when I found myself working for and becoming friends with Tony Swatton, who made the hook and swords.

This movie defined my childhood and shape my adulthood.
Everytime people ask me what my top three movies are, Hook is always #1.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were considered for the role of Peter Pan. Linda Hamilton and Carrie Fisher were considered for Tinker Bell. David Bowie was the original choice for Hook but turned it down
David Bowie refused the Zorrin bad guy role in 1985, A View To A Kill 007 film. 🎬🎥🇬🇧💰... that part went to actor Christopher Walken.
Thanks for the wonderful memories rest in peace Mr.Williams
Let's keep the Robin Williams train rolling. Do "Jack" next please. Keep up the good work!
One of my ALL TIME favorite movies!!!
QUESTION:
Your background decoration is great & full of pop culture/movie merchandise.
But what is the significance of the coca-cola can?
I absolutely loved this movie as a child/teen and I still do today.
I can definitely see the late David Bowie playing Captain Hook.
No way
My stepfather was a set builder on Hook. It has been one of my favorite Robin Williams movies.
Every time I see Hook now, only one thing comes to mind...
“Hello! Zuko here!”
...admit it, I’m not the only one!
I saw this so many times in theaters
You lucky devil!
Also David Crosby, from Crosby Stills Nash & Young, was one of Hook’s pirates as well.
I loved this movie. "You've found my marbles!!!"
Actually it was " I didn't lose my marbles after all".
**cue the stirring, emotional soundtrack**
Memories!!!!! I remember my mother renting this for me when I was 9. My name babysat me and ate so many sweets after the film I ran around the house crowing hyped up on sugar. Another quality post Minty. You never fail to entertain my fragile little mind.
The poster of Hook and Indiana Jones looking similar; it's just you! lmao
Bang arang Rufio. It does ge cheesy at times but honestly best shot at a remake live action Peter Pan movie and it does feel like a honest sequel to the original story. The Neverland score in the movie is just beautiful.
I dont know why but it always brings tears when I hear it when I'm watch the scene when Peter becomes Pan again remembering who he is flying around
Tuesday/Friday plan: Watch Minty video, figure out way to incorporate fun facts learned into regular conversation.
First of all, I *love* your videos; they just really make my day, especially the kids 80s/90s movies. Hook especially is a long-time favorite. I would say that I used to daydream about flying away to Neverland, but i still secretly wish that lol.
Fun fact, the actor who played Peter's son is now a lawyer/college instructor in the Greater Cleveland area.
@Jscottmoody Why? Some people prefer to live a normal life over one filled with glitz and glamor.
One of my favorite movies growing up! I love Robin,Dustin... amazing cast.💙
this movie is so good
Bonus facts: Gwyneth Paltrow is also Steven Spielberg's Goddaughter. She turned down the female lead in Cool As Ice to do Hook, as her Dad didn't approve of Vanilla Ice.

Tom hanks was better for the part. Ford is too serious.
One thing with Robin Williams was that he was very particular about how his image and voice were used. This was part of his dust-up with Disney over The Genie in Aladdin.
That's probably one of the reasons that the action figure of Peter Pan doesn't look like Robin Williams in the movie.

I was 3 when I saw in theaters and it's one of the only memories I have at that age. The movie was amazing for any kid.
It was nominated for 4 Oscars, including Best Visual Effects. It Lost to Terminator 2, which was released that year.

And being a tuba player I was amazed not just heard the soundtrack in a game but then the tuba solo as well! The Sega CD was so underrated...and under used.
How tf does this have a 26 on rotten tomatoes??? Love this movie!
Rufio! Rufio! RU-FI-OHHHHH!
can't believe Minty forgot to mention Dante Basco would go on to voice Prince Zuko!
Another great segment Minty! Hook has always been a 'go to' flick!!! Question: who controls the amount of ads on your videos? I cancelled my premium sub (one of many) and it's been shocking, I dont remember there ever being 3 ads interrupting a 15 minute segment?
I grew up watching this movie and never knew they had action figures. I feel cheated :(
Me too
Same here. But I was born in 92 and didn't see the movie till like 96 or 97 so the toys were probably no longer popular or in production anymore by the time I was into the movie.
I had the sword and the hook. Good times.
It is not only a Great movie but also Fantastic and a Loving Movie!!!
The end credits music to your vids get stuck in my head for hours every time.
One of my favirite Robin Williams movies of all time!
