Plastic Face man is Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a legend in martial arts, usually played the main evil henchman in Jackie Chan movies (also, John Cusack's instructor at one point)
Great Reaction..... LUV this Movie..... Fun-Fact - There are 4 Cusacks in this movie John - Main Character, Joan - Assistant Marcella, Ann - Plays Amy, Bill - Plays a Waiter......
"Why does that guy look like he's wearing a mask..." Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez is a professional Muay Thai fighter and has been punched in the face a lot... He's also John Cusack's trainer👍and choreo'd their showdown. Check out Benny vs Jackie Chan in Wheels on Meals
I love the choreography of that scene... it seems much more like people who know what they are doing, very efficient and like they're actually fighting to the death than most hollywood fight scenes.
surprised me how clean and tight the fight was between the two of them..very little wasted movement, every move had a purpose, And would never want to have to square off against Cusack let alone Benny....i'd be out in less then a minute i'd think
You nailed it - the school is John Marshall High in Los Angeles and it is the school from Pretty in Pink as well as Grease, La Bamba, Bachelor Party, Can't Hardly Wait, A Nightmare on Elm Street, School of Rock and a bunch more. Eclectic collection of alumnus include Leonardo DiCaprio, famous Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, NFL Super Bowl winning coach Andy Reid, Catwoman from the Batman TV series Julie Newmar, singer Michelle Phillips from The Mamas and The Paps, and OJ Simpson trial judge Lance Ito.
That's one of my favorite movies ever, I love the Cusack siblings together & the soundtrack is outstanding!!! Minnie Driver is just a dream & Piven is hysterical, so is Azaria!!!!!!!
one of my top 10 movies ever, must have watched it 50 times when first came out on VHS even...thought was a great portrayal of a Hitman finding morals and redemption.
A college buddy's dad is a 7th dan Kyokushin full contact black belt, among other styles, and for his money, that fight between Benny and John is one of the most realistic fights ever put to film. Urquidez and Cusack were the real deal.
I read somewhere years ago (so I dont know how reliable this is) that John Cussack took up kickboxing for his character of kickboxer Lloyd Daubler in "Say Anything." He liked kickboxing so much, it became a lifelong hobby of his. In Grosse Pointe Blank, the kickboxing assassin is not an actor, but one of his trainers/dojo buddies. This explains why the character has so few lines: he's not an actor, he's martial artist. BUT....(1)it adds to the mystique of the strong, silent, foreign killer (2)it makes the actual hallway fight more realistic to have life-long sparring partners, instead of choreographed stuntmen, on a gig.
@slchance8839 your correct, in every respect. The assassin is played by Benny Urquidez, one of the greatest kickboxers ever, who starred as the villain in a number of Jackie Chan flicks, and is one of the best fight choreographers in the business as well as Cusacks coach.
@@tokukeitaro what a great thing to say. made my day. thank you. the comment section rarely has encouraging responses, like yours, so we say our piece and hope to get too much flak. in any event, thanks for confirming information that for me, is 20 years old and rattling around in my head. After that long, cant be sure what's real or not.
Being a Gen Xer from Metro Detroit this movie is full of nostalgia for me. It is also the moment I fell in love with Joan Cusack. She is absolutely adorable.
The soundtrack to this movie is great, They came out with 2 soundtrack albums of music played in the film. Music from the Clash, Violent Femmes, English Beat, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Cure, Guns N' Roses, the Specials, Siouxsie and he Banshees, A-Ha, Pixies, The Pogues, among others
From "Lloyd Dobler" to "Martin Blank." Getting advice at the "Gas and Sip" to blowing up the "Gas and Sip." Slip in "High Fidelity" and "Must Love Dogs" and that's pretty much my life story. I've watched "Zhivago" many MANY times...
Love PCU. If you like Alan Arkin, check out the movie "Indian Summer". It also has Bill Paxton, Elizabeth Perkins, Diane Lane, and others that were up and comers that are now big time.
"Popcorn!" Dan Aykroyd playing a psycho is a rare treat. The confrontation in the diner is one of my favorite bits as they argue about omelets and 🧠 F-ing with paper bagged guns 🤣🤣🤣 Check out Doctor Detroit for one of Dan's strangest.
It is supposed to take place down the road from me. It gets the feel of our area down really well. As a detroiter, this is right up there with robocop.
I didn't go to any of my class reunions . Everyone would be surprised that I am still alive at 63 years old. I graduated in 1979. Hello again from pa USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤. Thanks for another awesome reaction, love your channel.
And the psychologist was Alan Arkin, who had decades of comedy movie work before this movie. Try the original "The In-Laws", "Freebie And The Bean" and "Catch-22" for some great fun from a previous previous age.
"Don't kill anybody for a few days. See what it feels like." "All right, I'll give it a shot." "No, don't give it a shot! Don't shoot anything!" Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Jenna Elfman. Location Location Fact: The high school shown in the movie is John Marshall High School in Los Angeles, California. Family Affair Fact: Features appearances by most of the acting members of the Cusack family: John Cusack, Joan Cusack, Ann Cusack, and Bill Cusack. Only sister Susie Cusack and father Dick Cusack are absent. EOM Reacts Award Fact: Debi (Minnie Driver) says her apartment burned down on Devil's Night. This refers to the night before Halloween where traditionally, particularly in Detroit, there is a significant spike in vandalism and arson fires. Fuck Detroit. Music Enthusiast Fact: When Martin (John Cusack) first visits Debi's (Minnie Driver) house she says "You can't come in!" in a Jamaican accent. This is a reference to the song which is playing in the background. You're Wondering Now (1979) by The Specials, which starts off with a knock at the door followed by one of the band saying the same thing in the same accent.
i caught them filming this movie, the entire thing is filmed in monrovia california on myrtle ave in the old town area if you ever feel like google street viewing the thing. i caught the scene after the bar, when they are saying goodnight and in the background is the girl who had a martini in the restaraunt, she is trying her best to stick a drunk man in a cab that she is taking home. you can see in one clip when martin is driving a green awning over a window that reads monrovia beauty supply that they forgot to catch.
John Susan totally makes this movie, no one else could have made it work. Tara's comments and quips kept me giggling throughout the reaction. Thanks for another fun response.
OMG, never in my life have I found a reactor who has seen PCU!!! I *love* that movie. I quote it all the time and no one ever knows what I'm talking about. Great reaction!!!!
Can you blow me where the pampers is? 😂🤣 possibly the best line that I quote!! I wish I could find it streaming or on dvd or something but it’s been hard to track down!
@@ItsTaraAnnAnytime someone says something weird I say "That's a pretty strange theory, Draz" lol. I actually have it on DVD; I wrote an essay on it in college so I bought it way back in the early 2000s. It's SO hard to find now
According to Joh Kusack, this is the unofficial sequel to Better Off Dead. If you look for it, all the characters are there. A few slightly changed, but not by much.
Your Carebare story is the best! I didn't read if anyone mentioned this already, but the "plastic face" killer is actually a very famous cult ex-martial arts champion, Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a American multi-belt holder in Karate and mixed martial arts tournie's. He in the mid-1980's had a series of wonderful fight scenes with Jackie Chan (check out the film Meals On Wheels).
When I got back from Iraq, I didn't like sitting with my back to the door, either. A couple years after the fact, I couldn't avoid it, and I kept turning to check the door the whole time. It took at least 10 years before I could do it without panicking.
Oddly, when I first saw the name Joan Cusack I immediately saw the resemblance. I think they seem like obvious siblings. I also love that Tara can’t see it at all.
This is one of my favorite movies and the soundtrack brings me right back to my very early college years (yep, I'm old!). I'm surprised you know the music so well! You look waaaay younger than me! Or, are you just an 80's music fan? Glad you really liked it.
@@tarasneverseen Wow! You look like you're 30 if you're a day. Can't see Kevin, so I dunno. I'm always told I look younger than my age (62), but it's just good skin from my ancestors. 😊 Enjoying watching some of your reviews. Keep up the good work.
@@i_love_rescue_animals Thanks for the compliment!! Yeah the rule we go by is if Kevin hasn’t seen it he will be on camera, but he’s seen pretty much everything 😂
I love this movie, and I don't know anyone who's seen it, that doesn't. Alas, that so few people seem to have. Maybe it's the title that turns people off? There were several films that came out around this time that I might class as 'hitman in love'. Some of my other favorites are "Cold Blooded", "Angel's Dance", and "Bulletproof Heart".
Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is only takin a dive for money 🤣 that dude is the real deal... speaking of, you should react to Jackie Chan's "Wheels on Meals"... where Benny and Jackie have one of the greatest one on one movie fight scenes ever filmed.
Say Anything. War Inc. High Fidelity. Serendipity. Runaway Jury. Must Love Dogs. Martian Child. The Ice Harvest. Hot Tub Time Machine. Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil. Con Air. Pushing Tin. The Jack Bull. Tons of great movies, some comedy, some dramatic, some romantic.
lol ... Plastic face man is Benny the Jet Urquidez, an amazing fighter in real life who always seems to play bad guys in most of the films he did. In 50 professional fights he won all but one or two. If you have any interest in seeing a better fight with him in it, he did two movies with Jackie Chan where they both went all out and it is so cool.
First of all laughing so hard I may of leaked 🤣🤣🤣luv this film “High Fidelity” is another classic with Cusak too😎couldn’t go to my reunion cause I was expelled 🥹🥹🤣ho hum.🤣🤣joined the army never looked back😎🇬🇧👍
Few people know this about John Cusack but the guy is a bona-fide bad ass. He is very well trained and could easily kick the crap out of almost every action star out there with an exception of a few. When he and Danny Trejo did ConAir The Jet was the stunt coordinator and during breaks he would separate John and Danny from the other actors playing convicts. When Danny asked why, Benny told them its because those guys are in character pretending to be guys that can kick ass, and you two guys can kick ass for real and I don't want you hurting one of them if they decide to try and act tough with one of you. And he doesn't suck at fighting that fight is probably one of the most realistic in a movie. Fight scenes in most movies are no way near realistic, all those flashy movies they choreograph don't work in real life.
9:22 Instant "Like & Subscribe" for covering one of my all-time favourite movies (that is often overlooked so far in the reaction world). And and extra 👍for immediately recognizing Blister In The Sun, even got the claps right. 👏👏 👏👏 🤣 And a massive Friends fan? I do believe I'll like it here. 👍☮❤
There's a few editing, uh, issues with this movie. Any Doom fan will notice the complete lack of continuity in the arcade game/gunfight scene. My personal second favorite is the unplugged tv buzzing.
Cult Cusack Christmas movie worth checking out: Ice Harvest. Ivan Reitman directed, co-stars Billy Bob Thornton, Oliver Platt and Randy Quaid in one of his last good turns, and Connie Nielsen as a smoking hot femme fatale in a neo-noir heist flick set in Wichita over Christmas. Merry Christmas, everyone!
The TV Trick hasn't worked since at least 2015. There was a James Bond game that had someone throw a mobile phone back in the day - the original mobile phone think it was on a boat so more Satellite Phone than mobile, again throwing those at someone would just piss them off, throwing it up in the air would at least be a distraction hopefully.
No, she is not losing her mind. She needs to sanitize the office. The whole operation has gone totally south and everyone is out for them. No trace of info that might let the cops or that weird killer mob or the pissed off crime lord know where any of them go. She needs a really hot fire to be sure. The hammer isn't good enough for the hard drive if real spooks are looking. A big degaussing magnet or a fire that exceeds the Curie temperature of the magnetic material (iron oxide or some kind of ferricobalt material. Basically a good bright red hot to almost white hot would work. Remember this was the 90's, so there wasn't much stored online and especially not if you are an illegal operation, so the data was all on index cards, a ledger book and that hard drive. At one point the military standard was to do a 7 pass 0/1 wipe (in special byte patterns) of every bit on the drive, heat it up above Curie temperature, chop it in a metal chipper down to 1/4 inch pieces and then sprinkle the bits from the back of an airplane over a few acres of a military base. And you thought I sounded paranoid.
Best way to hide when wanted and to hide the truth is to hide in plain sight and tell people the truth calmlywith no reaction. They will never find you and no one would believe you were telling the truth anyway.
Kevin thinks afternoon is better for this one.. to get more views throughout the first day for a lesser known title.. he’s testing the fences.. but we generally will be sticking to 6pm especially for Mondays…
Special note for Kevin: I get what you’re doing and your motive is right. You’re trying to feather the algorithm. Good call. But let’s draw on my profession for a moment (and I wish we could do this more privately): without providing research results, I will confidently assert most YT viewers are “pattern consumers.” that is, they are attached to repetitive, habit viewing. They get used to certain times and days. Now: that being said, a creative team can’t be tied down. You have to “thread the needle” and find the right pocket. I might just suggest-if you were to stick to a 6pm start time, but then temporarily change it-note that in the title of the video. Maybe, “Special Time” or to that effect. Know that I understand your motives and your thinking. I would only suggest (without suggesting our community are “sheep”): the natural inclination of YT viewers is to arrange their participation on a channel based on a schedule they can (personally) manage. Ergo, “predictability.” Love you guys. Really.
he's just testing the fences with certain releases..the live premieres might also be hurting the algo due to way more viewers than likes and shares..we are learning as we go..thanks for the advice!
@@tarasneverseen it’s definitely a science, Tara. That’s why I’m squeamish about saying stuff like this out in the comments section. I appreciate the grind, more than anyone. It’s sorta weird because I definitely want you to succeed but I’m also a rabid fan! I think you’ve got a really good, unique chemistry. I’m just a weirdo, so I see both sides of the science. I should probably just shut up and laugh with you. BTW: Good Will Hunting should be on your list. 😉
This is one of my all-time favorites. The chemistry between Minnie Driver and John Cusack is so powerful! Loved the film!

My 20 year reunion was the year before this came out. We had several guys screaming “Ten years man!”
Just in case no one else has mentioned, "Plastic face man sucks at fighting," that guy is actually John Cusack's kickboxing trainer!
I went to see this in the theater and after marched right into the local record store and bought the soundtrack!
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen it, but I think you’d really love the show Psyche. It has the greatest 80’s movie references.
So K. Todd Freeman; who played one of the NSA spooks had a short but memorable run on Buffy The Vampire Slayer as Mr. Trick.

9:22 Instant "Like & Subscribe" for covering one of my all-time favourite movies (that is often overlooked so far in the reaction world). And and extra 👍for immediately recognizing Blister In The Sun, even got the claps right. 👏👏 👏👏 🤣
And a massive Friends fan? I do believe I'll like it here. 👍☮❤
YAY!! Welcome to the shenanigans!!
@@ItsTaraAnn I do love me some shenanigans. 👍😁
There's a few editing, uh, issues with this movie. Any Doom fan will notice the complete lack of continuity in the arcade game/gunfight scene. My personal second favorite is the unplugged tv buzzing.
19:23 The mouths are similar, especially when they are talking. The left side of the face feels "stronger" than the right side.
If you liked Grosse Pointe Blank, maybe you would like war Inc. It also has John Cusack
Tara, if you haven’t seen it, a great John Cusack movie to react to is “Say Anything…”
Omg I LOVE it!!
@@ItsTaraAnn, so you’ve seen it?
@@kellymarklong absolutely!
Prototype John Wick.
Cult Cusack Christmas movie worth checking out: Ice Harvest. Ivan Reitman directed, co-stars Billy Bob Thornton, Oliver Platt and Randy Quaid in one of his last good turns, and Connie Nielsen as a smoking hot femme fatale in a neo-noir heist flick set in Wichita over Christmas.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Ooooh!!! I’m adding it to the list!!
The TV Trick hasn't worked since at least 2015. There was a James Bond game that had someone throw a mobile phone back in the day - the original mobile phone think it was on a boat so more Satellite Phone than mobile, again throwing those at someone would just piss them off, throwing it up in the air would at least be a distraction hopefully.
Great movie ❤

Loooove this movie
No, she is not losing her mind. She needs to sanitize the office. The whole operation has gone totally south and everyone is out for them. No trace of info that might let the cops or that weird killer mob or the pissed off crime lord know where any of them go. She needs a really hot fire to be sure. The hammer isn't good enough for the hard drive if real spooks are looking. A big degaussing magnet or a fire that exceeds the Curie temperature of the magnetic material (iron oxide or some kind of ferricobalt material. Basically a good bright red hot to almost white hot would work.
Remember this was the 90's, so there wasn't much stored online and especially not if you are an illegal operation, so the data was all on index cards, a ledger book and that hard drive.
At one point the military standard was to do a 7 pass 0/1 wipe (in special byte patterns) of every bit on the drive, heat it up above Curie temperature, chop it in a metal chipper down to 1/4 inch pieces and then sprinkle the bits from the back of an airplane over a few acres of a military base. And you thought I sounded paranoid.
Best way to hide when wanted and to hide the truth is to hide in plain sight and tell people the truth calmlywith no reaction. They will never find you and no one would believe you were telling the truth anyway.
👍
is this lana?
like cousin....?
saw only once after i left" @17
Is it possible to hear Blister in the Sun and not clap?
Bailey and I both say no
Oh, right. Schedule this while I'm at work why don't you?
Kevin thinks afternoon is better for this one.. to get more views throughout the first day for a lesser known title.. he’s testing the fences.. but we generally will be sticking to 6pm especially for Mondays…
@@tarasneverseen I was teasing. Why I went to work this morning I don't know. I didn't do anything all day but ride around in a bus.
Special note for Kevin: I get what you’re doing and your motive is right. You’re trying to feather the algorithm. Good call. But let’s draw on my profession for a moment (and I wish we could do this more privately): without providing research results, I will confidently assert most YT viewers are “pattern consumers.” that is, they are attached to repetitive, habit viewing. They get used to certain times and days. Now: that being said, a creative team can’t be tied down. You have to “thread the needle” and find the right pocket. I might just suggest-if you were to stick to a 6pm start time, but then temporarily change it-note that in the title of the video. Maybe, “Special Time” or to that effect. Know that I understand your motives and your thinking. I would only suggest (without suggesting our community are “sheep”): the natural inclination of YT viewers is to arrange their participation on a channel based on a schedule they can (personally) manage. Ergo, “predictability.” Love you guys. Really.
he's just testing the fences with certain releases..the live premieres might also be hurting the algo due to way more viewers than likes and shares..we are learning as we go..thanks for the advice!
@@tarasneverseen it’s definitely a science, Tara. That’s why I’m squeamish about saying stuff like this out in the comments section. I appreciate the grind, more than anyone. It’s sorta weird because I definitely want you to succeed but I’m also a rabid fan! I think you’ve got a really good, unique chemistry. I’m just a weirdo, so I see both sides of the science. I should probably just shut up and laugh with you. BTW: Good Will Hunting should be on your list. 😉
PLASTIC man sucks at fighting! You prob wouldnt say that if you knew who he was, specially back in his HK action film days with Jackie Chan!
a PERFECT movie, but a bad video...
Lame comment
You’re Welcome to Get Bent
Oh man, you've GOT to go to reunions! I've been to every one of mine except the very first one. Did my 50th this year . . .
