This is one of the best Stephen King movies ever, the performances of the 4 boys are incredible especially River Phoenix.
Absolutely! I looked at River Phoenix' IMDb after this and I'm not sure that I've seen anything he's been in except this.
@@JayBondReacts Two of his best later films are Dogfight, and the brilliant My Own Private Idaho.
@@JayBondReacts one of his more underrated films while he was younger.. Little Nikita. Something like A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon showed off how great he was also at comedy and his teen heart throb staus.. also loved him as Carl in "Sneakers" he was so memorable in such a great ensemble.
@@JayBondReacts watch little Nikita and sneakers
So you know if not teld you down below. River was in the the 3rd Indiana Jones ,movie as a young Indiana. He died in his early 20s suicide which is sad due to the fact that he died young. Just like Jonathan Brandis another sad young actor died of suicide.
Such an amazing film and the acting is...wow. These 4 kids carried 95% of the script with the talent of seasoned professionals. Imo Corey Feldman's best role. I still get teary over River Pheonix, gone way too soon, I adored him.
I have always considered Goofy a dog, but think about it. There are a couple of classic Goofy cartoons where Goofy has a family. You never see his wife's face but she has human feet, and he has a pet dog named Bowser. So, if he has a pet dog, what the hell is Goofy?
I've lost touch with basically everybody I grew up with aside from one friend. A couple of them died and the rest just moved on and have their own families and careers now. I have another friend that I've been close with since I was in my early 20s, and I'm now in my early 30s.... but nothing could ever replace the memories I have of the times I had with my childhood friends. I miss those days so much. I have a wife who was my high-school sweetheart and I wouldn't give her up for the world... but sometimes I do long for those simpler times. I really miss my friends a lot. But I guess that's just a part of life. I'll always cherish those memories until I'm old and grey, if I live that long.
I had a crush on Phoenix when I was young. I identified with Gordie, an isolated intelligent dreamer. I SOO wanted someone like Phoenix to just put their arms around me and hold me. I was sad when I learned of his death, and cried when I saw that ending scene again of Chambers fading away.
They did an homage to him in the video game Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, one of my fav games. It's silly... I never knew him, but I had crushes on both him and Corey Haim in Lost Boys. It's sad that both of them died early, Haim most of all.
Oh really? 🤣
One of my favourite films, the acting and the story is excellent. The Chris/Gordie milk money scene just shows what potential River Phoenix had if he had not died so young.
I loved the film as a young teen when it came out as it was kids being kids, apart from the body. Unfortunately it has a special resonance now as my best mate, when the film came out, died the year after Phoenix did. Sad as that was I always watch this film with joy. It makes me think of the fun times with him, just like the characters had with eachother.
Thanks for the reaction, it was fun. I'm glad that you enjoyed your pumpkin pie, or at least half of it anyway!
Aw, sorry to hear that but happy that you can still have that moment and allow yourself to reminisce like that. When speaking of my friend who passed away in highschool, I admittedly tucked that away until seeing the brother's room and then it clicked. I love that movies can do that for us for better or sometimes worse. Thanks for watching and sharing your story. I'm determined to finish my pie tonight watching some wrasslin.
River was the standout of 4 incredible kid actors. What a talent gone too soon.
My Own Private Idaho and Sneakers for more of him.
It's a weird movie cause it is kind of mellow and slow but something is relatable to a ton of people. Hard to explain but feels heavy and good.
Exactly! It's hard to find the words to describe it, but I think you nailed it.
@@JayBondReacts because as dark as the subject matter is.. Kids up until the 80s anyway . We can kind of relate to them.. those friendships that will never be stronger as you get older. The stupid conversations we had with our friends. The ranking on each other.
Great pull, Jay. This is definitely one of my most cherished movies of my youth. Although these kids were not my go-to guys to emulate (that was the Goonies), I admired the time and setting. I always wished I grew up in the 50's era, like these kids, but I would never give up growing up in the 80's. I don't think I would ever have gone looking for a dead body. I can't even fathom that now. Keep them coming and I can't wait for the next one.
Growing up in the 80s is pretty much envied by all. 😂 Glad you enjoy this one. Definitely a fun trip and despite relating to Vern alot, I was probably a bit more like Chunk.
@@JayBondReacts Me too.
To me... this movie hits home for me! This is one of the best movies ever made imo. Love your reaction as always!!
Awesome, happy to hear! btw, I think we were talking about Nightmare on Elm Street a bit ago, my friend is filming a continuation of New Nightmare with Miko Hughes (the kid now grown up) and I'm going down to Arizona to help him next week!
Great reaction! The critique of the barf-o-rama story was a shot at Stephen King's critics. Many of his critics echoed that " I liked the story, but the ending sucked!" Just alittle needle back!
BTW. Sneakers 1992 is a great movie with River Phoenix, Dan Aykroyd, Robert Redford, Sydney Poitier, and Ben Kingsley!!
Oh, that's a good little jab, thanks for that. Sneakers may be on my list. That's a pretty solid cast!
Sorry to come up a year later, but also the "no horror stories.." from Vern. Nice little bit 😂
Stand by me is one of my favourite movies of all time I watch this movie every Saturday it’s so fun watching. It’s my dream movie, this movie is the best of all. 😊😊😊😊😊
This thing with buried treasure being taken is for real, I promise. When I was like 8 years old I buried a stash of old copper coins in our pretty large yard. It was gone when I tried to dig it back up.
Every time I see this, I’m reminded that it might be my all time favorite.
Great editing. This has more stuff in it than other reactions. I LOVE this movie. Thanks for watching this! Love all the Stephen King movies.
Love this movie. Definitely my 2nd favorite of all time. Watched it a ton as a kid and grew to love it more as an adult. Top notch acting from everyone.
Loved your reaction, Jay. This movie reminds us of childhood angst and journeys with the perfect reinactment of the comradory and playfulness of those times. It was great seeing it through your eyes.
Thank you! Well said. That's exactly the feeling I got and can totally see why so many people love it and revisit it.
Every July 23rd is Stand By Me day in Brownsville Oregon (Castlerock). They show the movie in the park and have a pie eating contest among other things.
No way, that's awesome!
Another editing nightmare movie would be :
American Graffiti, great movie.
Good to know. That is on my list but I'll remember thanks.
Growing up in Montana, I can confirm that small town kids wandered far and wide on foot or bike growing up. In the country with cousins, we'd walk three or four miles to inspect old homesteads, one way. I walked 21 miles home from a mountain once when a car broke down, it took 8 hours of so for four of us. It was almost completely downhill, and we had smoke and drink so it went along pretty quickly, but I'll admit my whole body was achy when I some up.
Achy when I woke up*
I had a really cool and special buddy when I was 13 and he was 14.we bonded over this movie alot.it really was a.cool time to be alive
The father is the general who dies in starship troopers
That's very likely where I remember him from as well. It's been ages, but I watched that movie quite a bit when I was crushing on Denise Richards.
In literally several hundred watches, I've never noticed the gun next to Gordie in the deer scene. Good eye...
My favorite movie
Now that you've seen River Phoenix in action, do you think you have an idea of why people make a big fuss about how talented he was?
Good reaction video and edit. I know that you like 'coming of age' films. Another good film is 1983's The Outsiders. Stellar cast and story. Few, if any, of the major reactors has reviewed it. You could be one of the very first and that could be a good bump to your numbers.
Nice, I've added it to my list. I'll be honest, the less reacted to a movie, the worse it does. I've tested the waters and been first or within the first few for about 5 videos and all of them have done terribly. 😂 (Vampire in Brooklyn, Jawbreaker, Valley Girl, Summer School etc.) I'm not big enough to influence the "react market" yet haha
If someone like Popcorn in Bed did it, it's smarter for me to follow hers up because her audience would be looking for other perspectives. That's why you'll see that trend happen a lot. In the span of a month you'll see all 40 people talk about Forest Gump seemingly out of nowhere.
Reactions are a weird game, I tell ya.
@@JayBondReacts Good point. Also, your reaction would be more likely to be recommended to someone who just watched Cassie react to that same movie. RUclips has an idea of the movies that I like and regularly recommends more reactions to the same movie from reactors that I've never heard of.
BTW, if it makes you feel any better, your Summer School reaction is what introduced me to you and got you one whole subscriber, so it wasn't a total loss. 😄
Oh, you mentioned in another comment that you haven't seen River Phoenix in anything else. It's hard to believe that you haven't seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. That and the first two Indiana Jones movies (if you haven't seen those, either) would be very popular.
@@JayBondReacts I guess the question with which you must grapple is whether your channel is primarily an ATM, or whether it can also be a journey of discovery where you and your viewers blaze a trail of our own.
@@JayBondReacts I think Awkward Ashleigh did The Outsiders.. And it broke her . Just look at the cast list.. It's literally INSANE . From the director of The Godfather.
You might like "Mosquito Coast" with River Phoenix. Well, it's a tough movie to really enjoy, but like "Stand By Me" it is a unique story and therefore a different viewing experience.
You recognize so many actors! It amazes me. Found your channel from your Better Off Dead reaction. Have you ever seen Where the Day Takes You? Really good movie with about 20 famous actors.
Family guy had an episode like 12 years ago that redid stand by me. That's why alot of people know alot of parts of this movie before theyve even seen it . Stewie as junkman Milo Pressman and Brian as Chopper was the best part .
18:33 Coming up when the twins say ‘chow down wide load’ the one between them is Ray Bower i.e the dead kid.
River played young Indiana Jones in the opening of the third movie, “Last Crusade”
Jay: Poor Verne, he was so scared.
Verne: I wasn't that scared.
lol Good edit.
Thank you. 😂
Thank you for being one of the only reactors who ever recognizes anyone. Sometimes I think reactors have no interest in film other than for RUclips revenue.
Thank you! I try to recognize people when I can. Sometimes it's a bit tricky because I may have only seen them 30 years later. 😂 I'm very much into film (despite watching some pretty popular movies), my other channel is all horror movie reviews that we've done for 9 years!
My friends from that age turned on me once we went into high school. I guess i was deemed the less cool one. One of them didnt like how the other guys treated me and ditched them and stayed on my side rest of the year till he moved away across the country . I always hold a special place for him for sticking by me then, he said it was because I had stuck by him the year prior during an issue with the other guys. A few years back I discovered one of the other guys was posting blogs about things in his life, he spoke of how he and the other friend did me wrong. i wrote in comments about how they made me feel, both of them apologised to me.This is us in our late 40's now when this went down. I became decent online friends with them both.The one that instigated it mostly back then was the one I'd talk to the most, he and I would discuss music a lot. When covid came about he got it about a year and half ago and passed away from it. I still talk to the other "former" friend once in a while. I am really glad I made amends with them both, after the one passed i am glad I can think good thoughts and good memories and miss him instead of the hatred I felt all those years.
ACE IS JACK BAUER AKA KIEFER SUTHERLAND WHO WAS LOST BOYS
You flinched!! Two for flinching !!!
# #
...But, you flinched ...
I know. Two for flinching.
The movie is a lot more optimistic than the Novella. In the Novella Verne and Teddy are long dead at the time When Chris gets killed and the aftermath of the confrontation in the restaurant. With the confrontation over the Body Ace and the gang they all get beaten up later on. Gordy and Chris get the worst of it with a broken nose, fingers and getting kicked in the balls for Gordy and Chris gets a Broken Arm and deep facial lacerations. Verne and Teddy get beat up but less severe. They all refuse to name names and the gang don't bother them again.
Interesting, thanks for the heads up!
Such a bittersweet classic. I always mind watching it when I was a kid & thinking these were the perfect friends to have.
Imagine with this plot if the kids actor are not good, this will not be a hit. But wow oh wow.. they are so natural.. love your reaction and how you relate yo them so much
Definitely read the book the Body. You will read it in the same voice in your head as narrator, plus it tells you what Ace does to them after the movie ends.
Corey Feldman was a “Frog brother” and Kiefer Sutherland was one of lead vampires in The Lost Boys…that’s probably why you confused them.
The newspaper article said "Attorney Christopher Chambers Fatally Stabbed in Restaurant" so they weren't trying to suggest he died back then. Wil Wheaton and River Phoenix were really great in this, especially given their ages.
This movie came out when I was 5. My dad and I watched it together (back then it seems like people weren't so paranoid about age restricting certain things in entertainment. Or maybe it was just my parents? 😆)
I'm extremely sentimental about this movie. Even though I'm female, and I'm sure it would have meant something different to me if I was male, it still was really something that helped define who I became as a person- emphasizing values like loyalty (including to chosen "family"), loving people for the imperfect people they are, protecting those who need it, and standing up for what's right; Whether it's finding the body of a missing child everyone had given up on finding (that's why they think they'll be treated as heroes for finding the body) or standing up to a bully with a knife.
The idea that doing the right thing is hard, but worth it. Even if it means you experience something terrible; Even if it means you might get hurt. Even if it means you might die.
It was an important bonding moment for my dad and me.
It's still one of my favorite movies.
I enjoyed revisiting this film along with your first time reaction. I watched it for the first time in my 20s, so I didn't get to relate as a child, but the themes of friendship and growing up still hit home. I still get weird reactions when I tell people this is my favourite Stephen King story.
the ending always gets me. thanks for an amazing review!
Thank you!
Treat yourself to the short story by Stephen King.... "The Body".... It was originally placed, along with 3 other short stories , in his book " Different Seasons ".. One of the other stories was "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption " ,which they made into a movie... "The Shawshank Redemption "
Wonderful reaction... ;)
Such a brilliant movie with a truly talented cast of young actors. , I first watched it when it came out and I was 12 . River Phoenix was taken way too soon such a talented actor you should go through his filmography one of his finest and but sadly I think his last is My Own Private Idaho in which he stars with his best friend Keanu Reeves, their performances are fantastic one of Keanu Reeves best performances too.
One of the greatest coming of age stories ever put to film. To be honest I don't think this is a film that suits a "reaction", it's more a movie to watch by yourself and reflect. Still, you do great work as always Jay :)
The best Stephen King non horror movie will always be the Shawshank Redemption, I'm not sure if you've seen it as it's incredibly well known but you've also not seen die hard so there's always a chance you haven't seen it.
That one I have not seen in full. I remember getting high in my buddy's basement, he turned it on, and I zoned out and eventually left because I was not vibing with it. I don't recall anything because of said circumstances and have it on my list. 😂
I don't comment much but never knew you started your own channel been binge watching all of watches n reviews awesome stuff ...loved this movie but watching it with friends as a kid was rough being that my name is Gordie lol look forward to seeing more 👍🏻
Thank you! Hey, I can totally understand the whole getting picked on for a name. The James Bond Jr. show came out when I was in school and I couldn't walk into a class without hearing the theme song. 😂 Appreciate the support and honestly, I'm a lurker myself and don't comment on much even people I've watched for years. Thank you.
Best movie soundtrack, ever!
For a lesser known King adaptation - Sometimes They Come Back
Don't know that I've seen that one but I can picture the font vividly. I think it might be on my Tubi watchlist.
Hell yes! I love this flick.
Great Reaction...
Thank you!
Im 40. I grew up on this movie. Classic. Great reaction.
Thank you!
I don't think the stories about Teddy's dad were a lie.. But that he was suffering more than likely from PTSD which just the mental health of men coming from war just sadly wasn't prioritized.
Another recent-ish Jerry O'Connell horror is Piranha 3D. He's hilarious.
Yes! Such a fun movie!
Really digging the movies you have been doing
Thank you!
Yup love this one.
Why did you saying "Do you want to see a dead body" make me start singing that sentence to the tune of "Do you want to build a snowman"?
Hahaha Oh boy. 😂
I think it's good you're now going through Stephen King's film adaptations that have nothing to do with horror, since in every genre he's dealt with he's always ended up with a masterpiece.
If SciFi is ok for you, I suggest for a future reaction Stephen King's "The Lawnmower Man" (1992), which unfortunately no one has responded to yet.
I used to watch Lawnmower Man growing up so I can't do a reaction for that one unfortunately. Though, I should revisit it at some point cause I don't remember a lot except for the cg.
I’d recommend “Young Guns” for a movie where Kiefer Sutherland is a hero.
I'd recommend The Cowboy Way with Woody Harrelson and Flashback with Dennis Hopper.
I used to get this movie and The Goonies, mixed together, not mixed up but sorta combined into one. Might be the Corey option or the Jerry isn't Chunk thing.
As someone who thought this was The Lost Boys, I totally get it. 😂
I saw you watched road house too. If you enjoyed Patrick swayze then check out Next Of Kin also starring Liam neeson and bill Paxton who just recently passed away.
Right on, thanks for the suggestion!
For a fun and ridiculous horror movie with Jerry O'Connell in smaller but fun role, check out Piranha 3D from 2010. It's a bit outrageous. I wouldn't call it a good movie, but it is still fun.
Piranha 3D is a blast! I've seen that one a few times haha
@@JayBondReacts I think the sequel is definitely not as fun with much worse gore/blood effects.
Nice review. This movie feels so...natural. And it's great seeing kids act like kids, Stephen King was always good at writing that.
I like your T-shirt too, where did you get it?
Thanks! The shirt is from IntoTheAM. They've got some great designs.
No, we weren't supposed to think that Chris died there. Richard Dreyfuss was an adult when he read the newspaper article and it said "Attorney Chris Chambers" was stabbed.
It's a matter of perspective. As a brand new viewer, without prior knowledge of the events of movie stuff like "attorney" isn't the takeaway from seeing "name stabbed". This is my first time watching, so perhaps on your first viewing you saw things differently.
@@JayBondReacts I didn't say you were stupid for not catching that or anything, just that I don't think the viewer was intended to think that
I think most viewers don't fully register the newspaper story, or forget about it entirely as they become engrossed in the story, only to be stunned by the information when it is repeated at the end of the film. Of course, now, for those of us who know about River's tragic early death, the impact is much greater.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 That may be, but I maintain that I doubt the article saying Chris was stabbed was put there in order to make people think that he would be stabbed by Ace Merrill.
@@Ididnotwanttojoin No, I don't think it was. Jay's experience of gleaning from the headline that Chris was stabbed without noticing that he had become an attorney was unusual, but still similar to the typical one in that he didn't register the article's full significance until the end.
I forget the meat head directed and stand by me😅
Have fun on your shoot!
Thanks!
there is this one movie i forgot the name of. where a bunch of kids build a tree house and there is this water tower and a purple heart metal involved. i dont remember the title.
My internet sleuthing led me to The War (1994) with Kevin Costner and Elijah Wood. I've never seen it, but it seems to line up.
@@JayBondReacts looks like thats the one, thanks for the help. i dont remember the plot at all either so i can't say its a stellar movie.
I don't remember if I ever rewatched this afterwards.. but seeing scenes from it now I once again have to question the parent who thought it was okay to show this movie to me when I was in 4th grade.. though it did stick with me... more so perhaps because it was enough time after that River Pheonix had already passed, making the ending of the movie all too real for me.
"Do you think I'm weird?"
"Definitely."
"No man, seriously. Am I weird?"
"Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird."
Fun Fact: After director Rob Reiner screened the movie for Stephen King, he noticed that King was visibly shaking and wasn't speaking. He left the room and upon his return, told Reiner that the movie was the best adaptation of his work he had ever seen.
Sky High Fact: Kiefer Sutherland claimed in an interview that in one of the locations of the film, a Renaissance Fair was being held and the cast and crew attended and bought some cookies. Unfortunately, the cookies turned out to be pot cookies and two hours later, the crew found Jerry O'Connell crying and high on the cookies somewhere in the park.
Four Musketeers Fact: River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell got into a lot of mischief in the hotel they were staying in during filming. This included throwing all the poolside furniture into the pool, Wheaton fixing video games in the lobby so they could play them for free and Phoenix (spurred on by the other boys) unknowingly covering Kiefer Sutherland's car in mud, only discovering whose car it was when Sutherland confronted a scared and nervous Phoenix about it later.
Hahaha No the pot cookies!! 😂
Jay Bond ...And speaking from experience, Jerry O'Connell was NOT having a good time. When it happens, there's nothing much that can be done but let them ride it out. Say no to drugs.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
nice one
Thanks!
I'm 32. all my friends are dead or in jail
That's messed up. I'm sorry to hear that.
Wonderful coming of age story...
20 miles is nothing....lol.... when you are with good pals. A person can average 2 miles an hour.
I have a question for you Jay what do you enjoy more, modern movies or movies from the 80s and 90s?
Great question. I don't know to be honest. I love the nostalgia of some movies that I've seen from back in the day but I think sometimes hearing about 80s movies that I haven't seen might hype many of them up a bit more than I'd like. Same happens with some modern movies, but knee jerk opinions are easier to ignore. I guess I enjoy good (or really bad) movies regardless of when they came out.
Ben E. King, man.
And how is Goofy a dog if Pluto is a dog? Then why doesn't Pluto walk on his back legs and talk? Yet again another one of those silly crazy conversations we all had with our friends at that age that seem so silly and meaningless now just seemed liked the most important thing in the world to us at the time.
No Vern, they just let him in...
SPOILERY COMMENt for 20:05:
Was the barfing story in the original Stephen King novel or is it a homage to Monty Python's Meaning of Life?
I don't know if jay is going to watch it, so that's why the warning.. In any case, as a kid I never saw the connection, but now I wonder if it was a clever way to show how Gordie's still a kid basically telling stories, and so of course they are silly and not well thought out, or a nod to meaning of life, or both?
How's it going?
Lawnmower Man was supposed to be a Stephen King adaptation but it's nothing like the book. And honestly it's not a great movie. But what I find fascinating about it is that David Koresh (the Waco cult) treated the movie like it was a Bible for him.
I vaguely remember that movie simply because it was one of the first that I had seen that had cgi or virtual reality. Didn't know about the David Koresh stuff, that's wild!
Have you seen Dolores Claiborne?
Great question. Not that I can remember but I'd have to check out the synopsis. I recall the name but I don't know.
OONE
As far as I know the boys are All still alive except my favorite character river Phoenix
True as of this date (November 3, 2022).
@@oliverbrownlow5615 thank you for responding much love and God bless always
Always love but please never try to remake this movie old fashioned believing leave well enough alone look what happened to the stand My very favorite Steven King 👑 movie why ruin something that is already perfect
Can you please react to the movie Stigmata
Starring Patricia Arquette
Please
If you want to see the best Stephen King movies that aren't horror, watch "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile".
Both of those are on my list but both are long so I need to plan accordingly as the editing will take 8+ hours each. Looking forward to both though.
THE TRACK THEY CROSS IS DECOMMISSIONED AND UNSAFE NOW THEY DEMOLISHING IT SOON
Who's watching in 2023?
surprised you didn’t cry watching this! it’s so good 🥹
I recommend What’s Eating Gilbert Grape if you haven’t already seen it!
For some reason, I actually remember watching that movie, of all things. 😂 Don't know if I liked it or not but I still remember it so I must have
God, I love this film (and book)....The Shawshank Redemption has to be on your list, right?!
Yup, it's on the list!
