I watched this movie with the audio commentary track and the first thing you hear is nervous laughter followed by the director going "Well it seemed like a good idea at the time!"🤣
@@AdamFink83 Incidentally that's also the name of much better but lesser-known comedy from Canada made in 1975 which had a then young unknown John Candy in a small role.
@@HackTheMovies You are Kill Tony, and your show is a rip off rental reviews, and your appearance in "The Dark Knight Rises" doesn't make you famous 🎤🖐🤣
Bamboozled is both incredible and weird at the same time. A true tour de force. If that was his comeback to this, this movie must have been watched way more than I thought.
I briefly looked up stuff about this movie and apparently there was a scene filmed where the dude friend thought he was mugging him and it was taken out because the people making the film thought it seemed racist… imagine that
If you can check out the movie True Identity a comedy from 1991 in which a black man witnesses a mob hit and must now hide himself disguised as a white man, the trailer looked funny as hell but the movie itself wears out quickly if the premise sounds familiar that's because Eddie Murphy did an SNL skit like this back in 1984.
Such a hilarious vid. When you guys mentioned J. Trudeau I nearly spit out my coffee. Worst blackface of all time and he didn't take pills to obtain it!
Hilarious.. 80s movies just crossed some many lines that shouldn't have. Credit to the channel for reviewing, laughing while doing but also saying it's not cool
Another brother here. AND He'll Yea!!! Manny's approach to the this specific content was genius. Not really trolling but somewhere close to it while also next to gaslighting, but wrapped up in such a genuinely funny way, with Tony rolling with the punches, often uncomfortably but also so relaxed , making this one my favorite Hack the Movies moments/reviews.
I haven't finished this episode yet... But I do have to say this literally is one of the funniest ones of all time of hack the movies. Two thumbs way way way up. We need more of this in our lives.
When people talk about movies that couldn't be made today this should be right at the top of the list lol Somehow, it's always overlooked in favor of Blazing Saddles. 17:15 Tony, you set yourself up for that one lol Melora Hardin is 56 years old and STILL a fox. A banana dipped in coffee was my favorite snack in college!!!
@@AloisWeimar yeah, I think everyone pretty much ignored their "edgy comedy" when it came out. I forgot it was a thing tbh until it was brought up here.
Manny Muskets brings up the first mention of Cum Town, solid. If you’re looking for a 90s movie that pulls a hard R out of nowhere, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is the one for you.
There are two tv shows with the same title as this movie and both shows are about a priest and are both sitcoms, one is with Dan Aykroyd and the other is with Cederick the Entertainer.

A great follow-up review to this would be The Watermelon Man - it's about a white guy who turns black, except he's actually played by a black comedian (he's heavily made up as a white guy at the beginning).
1:07:35 FACTS!!!! I had to unfollow Clownfish TV for that same shit. Geeky Sparkles tried to compare her "struggles" as a Ginger to those of Black women being discrimated for their natural hair.
I decided to watch this episode because Tony said it's the LEAST viewed or at least well received upon episodes and I probably butchered that quote but screw it, and honestly this was hilarious Good Job Tony and "one half of the Man Pad Podcast" Ill definitely add them to Spotify he's hilarious
Yo Tony - A recent rumor says you're planning to review episodes of 'Street Smarts'?! REALLY looking forward to it! Such a great Game show and you look like Frank Nickotero's doppleganger. I hope you get to visit your cousin Cosmo soon; hope the whole Dinardo family is keeping spirits HIGH (420). Still looking forward to your thoughts on 'Under Wraps'!

Dude bring him back I've never laughed harder at a podcast
Si más por favor 😂😂😂
I watched this movie with the audio commentary track and the first thing you hear is nervous laughter followed by the director going "Well it seemed like a good idea at the time!"🤣
Honestly I think that's the only way you could start a commentary for this movie.
@@AdamFink83 Incidentally that's also the name of much better but lesser-known comedy from Canada made in 1975 which had a then young unknown John Candy in a small role.
Haha. Awesome. I think I have this and Fraternity Vacation on a DVD pack somewhere and I am going to give that a listen.
@@IndiephantomSofaSinema Huh, I've never heard of "Fraternity Vacation".
Early Tim Robbins comedy from the mid eighties.@@justindenney-hall5875
"I hope you're having a great Black History Month...anyways, 'Soul Man'."
Special thanks to Kill Tony for having me on and Jess for the editing!!
I'm not Kill Tony!
Keep bringing Kill Tony Shoe Polish for his collection please 🙏
@@HackTheMovies You are Kill Tony, and your show is a rip off rental reviews, and your appearance in "The Dark Knight Rises" doesn't make you famous 🎤🖐🤣
@@justindenney-hall5875 It's like you don't know what jokes are
@@Lifesizemortal I think the person you really need to say to is "The Man in the Mirror".😆🤣
The censor beep is a fire alarm beep and that has me dyeing.
A Joke:
Dude, we had a BlackOut, just Outside our House Yesterday....
Geez, what did you do!?
I called the Cops!
😂😂😂😂
CHANGE YOUR SMOKE ALARM BATTERY PLEASE!!!!!! MY DOG IS SO MAD EVERY TIME HE HEARS THAT NOISE!
That was very clearly people playing basketball in the gymnasium next door
Lol i paused the video because i thought it was my alarm
Well this episode is definitely a success thanks to Manny’s hilariousness. Can’t wait to see him in more reviews this year
3 minutes in, already the BEST 'Talking About Tapes' episode! 😂😂😂
First N-bomb on hack the movies and its a soul man review, bravo lol
Hopefully Tony sings "Purple Rain" in this review.
@robk.6591 Or "Figaro"🤣
The bleep using the smoke detector sound flucin killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 3:42
I’m glad Jess edited out all the times Tony said the N word in this episode you hardly notice it
I'll say it: "Tony, you're better than Justin Trudeau"
Is that the reviewer formerly known as Tony?
Dearly beloved, we are here today to get through this movie called Soul Man...
It's just T now
Piluso symbol
Dressed up like a Minnesota music legend
It's Kill Tony
Soul Man still holds up. It was controversial when it came out and it’s still controversial today.
I remember it being on Comedy Central constantly in the late 90s/early 00s.
Me too. But even then as a child and a teenager it looked bizarre.
Bamboozled is both incredible and weird at the same time. A true tour de force. If that was his comeback to this, this movie must have been watched way more than I thought.
Amazing film. Mos Def was great in that.
Definitely need to review The Hitcher after this to show the good movie side of C Thomas Howell
Thats C Thomas Howell
Aka Pony B Curtis
The B Stands for SHOE POLISH 👞 😂
Manny was a great guest. I think this version was even funnier with the additional edits than the Patreon version.
I briefly looked up stuff about this movie and apparently there was a scene filmed where the dude friend thought he was mugging him and it was taken out because the people making the film thought it seemed racist… imagine that
I alwas wondered if you'd get to this. Even in the early 90s as a kid when I saw this I thought it was nuts that it existed.
Tony: "There's no way anyone watched this video." Me, at the end of the video: "yay."
This was a really [bleepin'] good episode.
I love how this review pretty much became a commercial for the patreon.
Gotta pay the bills
If you can check out the movie True Identity a comedy from 1991 in which a black man witnesses a mob hit and must now hide himself disguised as a white man, the trailer looked funny as hell but the movie itself wears out quickly if the premise sounds familiar that's because Eddie Murphy did an SNL skit like this back in 1984.
You need to have Manny back to review Class Act
Such a hilarious vid. When you guys mentioned J. Trudeau I nearly spit out my coffee. Worst blackface of all time and he didn't take pills to obtain it!
I wasn't fooled in the least by Joey C in the Mrs. Doubtfire review, but he was absolutely convincing here.
40:01 been there 😂😂😂then got a skinny one 😊😊
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard during a review 🤣😭
This is an awesome episode. It’s definitely my number one.😂😂😂
You two should review Rowdy Roddy Piper versus Bad News Brown from WrestleMania VI. Don’t use the shoe polish the same way Mr. Piper did that night.
PLEASE do "Loqueesha" next!!! That film and "Soul Man" makes for a great double feature!
I would suggest Watermelon Man myself
Haha, I gotta check that one out! 🍉
Nu, zdravstvuy, Oksana Sokolova!
I appreciate how you guys keep giggling through it. A good laughing fit has great healing properties.
Half way through and this episode is already in my top 3.
The fact that college students in Texas saw beans on toast and immediately assumed it was a black thing not an English thing, makes me so ashamed.
Hilarious.. 80s movies just crossed some many lines that shouldn't have. Credit to the channel for reviewing, laughing while doing but also saying it's not cool
“He’s my (smoke detector beep)” 😂😂😂
I saw this movie one time in the 90's on basic cable and have never seen it broadcast anywhere since then but I did remember the Bill Cosby reference.
TONY as a Lifelong PRINCE Fan i must give you Major Kudos on your PRINCE/C.THOMAS HOWELL/SOULMAN Cosplay 😃🤘😃🤘
As a Black man, this episode was hysterical. Bring him back for more episodes! 😂😂😂😂
One of the Funniest episodes to date 😂😂
@@Chilanta24 Hell yeah! 😆😆🤣
Another brother here. AND He'll Yea!!! Manny's approach to the this specific content was genius. Not really trolling but somewhere close to it while also next to gaslighting, but wrapped up in such a genuinely funny way, with Tony rolling with the punches, often uncomfortably but also so relaxed , making this one my favorite Hack the Movies moments/reviews.
Apparently Tom Howell hates this movie so much he refuses to give autographs to conventions and he'll probably call you out on it.
28:49 ANY area of a city that has a Chinese food restaurant and a liquor store next to each other or in walking distance is the HOOD, bih! 😂😂😂😂
This was the funniest episode so far. I was dying the entire time
" I'm C. Thomas Howell. No, no, no I will not take no for an answer"
I haven't finished this episode yet... But I do have to say this literally is one of the funniest ones of all time of hack the movies. Two thumbs way way way up. We need more of this in our lives.
My favorite C. Thomas Howell movie is "Far Out Man" (1990).
Bleeping the n bombs with smoke detector chirping... Very kino
I was saying "Ohhhh nOOOOOOOO" in the first minute
When people talk about movies that couldn't be made today this should be right at the top of the list lol Somehow, it's always overlooked in favor of Blazing Saddles. 17:15 Tony, you set yourself up for that one lol Melora Hardin is 56 years old and STILL a fox. A banana dipped in coffee was my favorite snack in college!!!
Nah The Daily wire would so do this and pretend it’s edgy to “own the Libs” and not really what it is reactionary and impotent
@@AloisWeimar yeah, I think everyone pretty much ignored their "edgy comedy" when it came out. I forgot it was a thing tbh until it was brought up here.
Oh man, I have not watched this show in a while. Hi Tony!
Tony: CAN I GET A PASS?
ME: NO TONY
I know Mannys jokes that are in the unedited episode are amazing!!
The goddamn smoke detector beep almost killed me...😂😂😂😂
I wish Tony would talk about Tiptoes 2003, Gary Oldman as a little person would make an interesting review
Trisha hates Gary Oldman because of that movie.
All the more to talk about it lol
The fire alarm sound effect has me cracking tf up 😂😂😂
More top tier content from Hack the Movies. Great fun from both of yous
You need to have him back on the show. This was hilarious. 😅
Tony looks like he's about to serve us pancakes.
Manny Muskets brings up the first mention of Cum Town, solid. If you’re looking for a 90s movie that pulls a hard R out of nowhere, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is the one for you.
I always enjoy the awkward tension in his videos😆
That bit right off the top of the episode was amazing
Totally blindsided me with that
Did Jess bleep him with the sound of a smoke detector on low battery?
1:08:39 But the internet WILL! 🙅🏿♂️😂😂😂😂
There are two tv shows with the same title as this movie and both shows are about a priest and are both sitcoms, one is with Dan Aykroyd and the other is with Cederick the Entertainer.
Damn you right! 🤣😅😅😆
I just saw that Richard Pryor a comedic genius Millenials would never even understand!
Wanna say Tony your show really helped me get threw some hard times. Just want to say thank you your show rocks. Keep up the great work.

Manny is hilarious. You guys have great banter.
Never saw the movie. I remember ads for it on tv. It looked "cringe" long before "cringe" was a thing.
2:17 the smoke detector 💀
The smoke alarm chirp absolutely killed me, Kill Tony.
Also, Syphon Filter is the best video game OF ALL TIME
A great follow-up review to this would be The Watermelon Man - it's about a white guy who turns black, except he's actually played by a black comedian (he's heavily made up as a white guy at the beginning).
1:07:35 FACTS!!!! I had to unfollow Clownfish TV for that same shit. Geeky Sparkles tried to compare her "struggles" as a Ginger to those of Black women being discrimated for their natural hair.
1:15:26 I think Soul-man the show came back with Cedric the Entertainer
Great episode.

Dude Manny Muskets is hilarious, I’m going to check out his pod. When are you having Ahren Belisle on kill Tony?
