People always comparing Arnold and Stallone. Both are great with action. But Sly can do drama while Arnold can do comedy. True Lies is the perfect combination of action and comedy while Rocky the perfect combination of action and drama. Both are great in their own ways.
Sly can do comedy, have you seen Oscar?
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Yeah, but they were all bad."
Fun Fact: The USMC supplied three Harriers and their pilots for a fee of $100,736 ($2,410 per hour).
Art Imitates Life Fact: At one point in the movie, Gib tells a story about his second wife taking everything when she left him, even the ice cube trays from the freezer. This is a direct reference to Tom Arnold's divorce from Roseanne Barr that was happening at the same time. Barr was reported to have taken his ice cube trays when she left him as well. Arnold told the story to James Cameron on the set and Cameron incorporated it into the film.
That's Hot Fact: The set of bra and matching panties worn by Helen Tasker during the striptease scene were Jamie Lee Curtis's own. Curtis rehearsed the scene extensively with director James Cameron, and it was there that the fall she makes in the middle of the dance was conceived (it didn't happen spontaneously during the actual shooting, as is often claimed). Arnold Schwarzenegger was not told of this beforehand, and this is hinted at when Harry briefly sits up in alarm, realizes that he is breaking character, and then relaxes.
I love behind the scenes facts, thank you! I remember Tom and Roseanne’s divorce, no wonder he was so venomous in that part 😂
I love when Arnold almost goes to Jamie after she falls, it makes great sense for the character too!
My pleasure. 😁
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Even though he had a small part, Bill Paxton was a treasure in this movie
He was always wonderful in everything. RIP
Yes, yes it is 🙂
Also, fun fact. As an American spy, it’s your own choice to tell your familiy or not.
You’d might also like The last Action Hero with Arnold.
I feel like I saw it a LONG time ago, but it may be worth a second try. I didn’t know about the spy thing 😮
Helen was a natural for the spy life. Once she got a taste of the high, she was destined to join him in the trade. I'd love a sequel to this with them both gnarly old super spies. Bring back the whole cast. 🍿😎🍿
Well, CBS did a TV show using that exact concept last year that starred Steve Howey, who was on Reba, but no one watched it and was cancelled halfway thru the first season.
@bjgandalf69
Yeah, ratings are a brutal game. So many shows get canceled too early.
The line Tom Arnold says about his ex taking the ice cube trays, is a reference to his split with Rosanne Barr...she apparently damn near stripped the house bare at one point in their break.
He confirmed she did take the ice cube trays out of the freezer.
And, James Cameron actually has a voice cameo, he is the voice of the helicopter pilot who only has a couple of lines, but a funny one, "Yeah she's got her head in his lap, Yahoo!"
Also, the rescue from the limo scene was a huge hit that year, so much so that at the 1995 Oscars, she was brought on stage to present an award by dropping her in from above with a prop helicopter like that iconic scene. You can easily find a clip of it here on YT.
I came here to mention the Roseanne Barr thing.
Nice! Love the fun facts 😊 The Roseanne thing makes a lot of sense the way he says “what kind of crazy BITCH takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer???” 🤣
The ice cube tray thing always gives me a chuckle due to memories. First I saw this movie was on one of the cable movie channels. My older brother got home late one night to find his now ex had cleaned out the house. Only left the heavy appliances and his gun safe. When Tom said the ice cube tray line I looked at my bro and he said, yup... Left the fridge, empty.
Best acting was from the camera man who's battery was dying, hahaha
Omg the way he was sweating buckets 😂
Battery Aziz! I've been saying that when my phone battery dies for years. My girl will answer "get... another one!" 😆
@@LandSharkEatsU that’s awesome 😂
*_"Women ... can't live with 'em, cant't kill 'em."_* truest sentence ever from this movie.
🤣
Really enjoyed your reaction to this film, I knew you'd have a lot of fun with it and you didn't disappoint. I love the laughs in it from all the characters, some of Toms lines are brilliant and when he hides behind the lamp post (yes, I'm a Brit.) and doesn't get hit is priceless. Arnold saying "stop trying to cheer me up". Bill Paxton does a great job with his character. Just a great, fun film all round. 👍
So much fun! The lamp pole part was funny, when he’s checking himself all over, shocked he didn’t get hit 😂
This is the perfect film. Action, romance, comedy, and it still holds up after 30 years!
I love how it fits multiple genres but does it so well!
Most people don't know that there was a True Lies 2 made within a year of this release. Arnold saw the cut of the movie, bought the rights and swore it would never be released, said it was the worst movie he was ever in. True story.
That’s crazy! I’m glad he did that if it sucked that much!
Source?
Because I remember TL2 was in the works until 9/11
@@eq1373 An interview way back, finished shooting TL2, was asked about it, Arnold said he isn't going to talk about it and to not bring it up again. Similar to when Whoopi Goldberg did the same thing for that live action dinosaur movie she was in, at least with that one they actually released a trailer before she realized how bad it was and bought the rights and shelved it.
How I miss the eighties (of which True Lies was a holdover) when summer blockbusters didn't take themselves too seriously and were perfectly fine with just giving us big, dumb fun without getting too stupid. Cameron gave us a swansong to this kind of moviemaking without even knowing at the time that he was.
Yes! Now it seems like they want to make everything the same - big budget but IMPORTANT and appeal to everyone, and it just doesn’t work.
Jamie had the most awkwardly sexy dance ever, hahahahahaha.
It was so funny and endearing, she did a great job!
Arnold still got it! Action, comedy, and a tango scene? True Lies delivers. 💥🤣💃
The hump and drag move, oh my God I was rolling😂😂😂😂👍
Can you tell I don't dance? 🤣
@@RhetoricalThrill ohh you crack me up sweetheart
Dana will have a crippling fear of heights for the rest of her life.
A few years after True Lies, she joined forces with Buffy as a vampire slayer
Makes complete sense! 😁
Which would be ironic considering what happened at the end of season 3 lol..
That was fun, and a blast! Your reactions and commentary are entertaining.
If your want more action films and haven't seen them I recommend "The Rock" (1996), "Con Air" (1997), "DieHard" (the first 3 films), and "Art of War" (2000). I also recommend "Trading Places" (1983) and "Coming to America" (1988) as well as "Brewster's Millions" (1985)
Looking forward to your future reactions, thanks!!!
Thanks for the recommendations! I’ve seen Die Hard (I wish I’d waited until after I made the channel because man that would have been good 😆) and Coming to America. Trading Places was so long ago I don’t remember so it’s a definite maybe!
One of my favorite movies with Arnold. When the bad guy slid against the vertical stabilizer on the jet plane balls first, in real life, he would have been damaged goods for life. Let's talk about Jamie Lee Curtis, always thought she was very sexy but, when I saw her strip down to her lingerie, she became super-sexy. I was like She's a BRICKHOUSE!!! I had a conniption. Eliza Dushku, who played the Arnie and Jamie's daughter in this movie, also played on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as Faith, a vampire slayer.
Jamie Lee was smokin for sure!
I freaking love the best friend in this movie! He may not say the most appropriate stuff to his friend but he's always there for him and just being a bro. Even the way how he jokes and brings up certain things, like his 3 divorces and what kids get into, can just be him coping and keeping himself together. But by the end of the day, he still has Harry's back.
Also, this movie is FINALLY getting a Blu-ray release on March 12th, 2024. Although through the 4K bundle deal, which can be a little price-y, but still better than not getting it at all.
I always think Tom Arnold is funny 🤣
25:38 He told her to close her eyes. But you can't trust that! 🤣
Man, I really dig your energy! Would love to just hang out with you and trip out watching movies.
Hey, if you want a Stallone fix while not doing Rocky, I HIGHLY recommend Demolition Man. It also stars Wesley Snipes as the snarkiest villain ever and Sandra Bullock as a naïve police officer in the future. It’s awesome. It’s just as good if not better than this one.
That one I’ve seen, it’s great! A little scary how well it predicted the future though 😆
Dude I was drinking water when he said “ass like a year old boy. The look you have made water shoot out my nose. I bout died. 😅😅 love your reaction 👏🥰
It sure caught me off guard! I remember the days when little asses were the fashion, but that’s just off the wall!
Certainly in my top 5 actions of all time!!! My favorite action movie is The Last Boy Scout, if you have not seen it, give it a shot sometime
It’s on my list! 💜
totally agree...
Their boss, pure Hollywood royalty! Charlton Heston. The original big action hero!
I saw his name and assumed he’d have a bigger role 😂 but he killed it anyway
Rethorical,you are doing excellent reactions! I really enjoyed your reaction to this really excellent movie..much better then any rocky movie you might do later on here...this movie is a highlight in the movie heaven...
Thank you! I really liked Rocky and want to do more, but not all once, for my sake and the people who aren’t interested 💜
Dude, I can’t believe I haven’t seen you before! I just subscribed. I looked at you videos and you’ve got all the right ones…. Meaning, the one I like. You’ve got a great personality for this stuff. Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal.👍🏼👍🏼
Ayyy, thank you so much! I appreciate it 😊 glad to have you!
The main terrorist dude was great haha. Arnold was a beast as usual. Dope reaction girl.
Thank you!!!
Sick is not the word that comes to mind during the dancing scene!
Lol, I just meant that as far as she knows, she's dancing for some pervert stranger, and he's letting her think that. The dance itself is pretty amazing
29:48 No. Nuclear weapons can't be set off like that. They have to be atomically triggered.
Also I do want to shout out "Fast Fiezel" (Grant Heslov) in a very early role.. he's been in a few things but is better known as best friend and producing partner with George Clooney..I really enjoyed him in "Black Sheep" if I remember right he was also in (and produced with Clooney) the TV remake of the drama "Fail Safe". also . Kind of criminal how small Charlton Heston's role at the boss Spencer Trilby was so small . Such a great screen presence...
I saw Charlton Heston in the opening credits, and he came in like a boss with that eyepatch, so I was surprised we never saw him again!
@@RhetoricalThrill one bad thing about not getting sequels.. That spy team would have been so much fun to see for several movies. Plus I don't know if you're a Buffy / Angel fan.. but the daughter was Eliza Dushku who would go on to play bad girl slayer Faith.. I always hoped that they would maybe since they waited so long do a sequel with her as a spy with Mom and Dad along for the ride.
@@mcgilj1 that could have been really great! I’m familiar with Buffy/Angel but didn’t watch much.
@@RhetoricalThrill she was also in the short lived series "Dollhouse" that I was a fan of . She's done a few films Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, The New Guy and Bring It On come to mind.
Everyone points it out.. But it HAS to be said. Bill Paxton is HILARIOUS and he steals the damn movie. His lines are comic gold. If you like Paxton for the Halloween season I highly highly recommend the under the radar "Frailty".. go on blind.. if you like horror. It's fantastic.
I’ve heard that one suggested a few times, I think it’s a good fit for Halloween! And yes, he was great here!
@@RhetoricalThrill he also directed "Frailty".. Fantastic cast. I was lucky to have seen it in a theater blind and I highly recommend the experience.
Decided on another Arnold movie to begin my exploration of your library. Never change.
I loved this one too! Thank you for being here ☺️
0:05
Yayyyyy! No rush! 😁
Michael isnt the only one who wants to chase Jamie Lee
After seeing this I’m not surprised 😂
14:38 he's been on auto pilot in the relationship - doing it way too much out of habit figuring he can't jump back in once the job pressure eases up, but it doesn't, so she has basically been put on the back burner and his reaction to her meeting Simon triggers his full blown guilt/anger. He's an ass, he messed up and he freakin knows it, but it's always easier to lash out/react aggressive and treat her like one of the bad guys they routinely try to catch than own up to your mistakes - He knows how to catch the bad guy, knows what to do - talking to his wife he can't really figure out how to - so yeah, you get this mess of a plan - Basically boy sees girl - likes her, doesn't know how to deal with that and decides to do what he does with his buddies - fight, so he pulls her pigtails or something like that.
I really like that breakdown! Human behavior is fascinating under normal circumstances, so imagine someone with extremely unusual ones 😂
Great espionage movies to watch;
"Ronin" (1998)
"The Peacemaker" (1997)
"Where Eagles Dare" (1968)
"Sneakers" (1992)
"The November Man" (2014)
"Breakheart Pass" (1975)
"Three Days of the Condor" (1975)
and some comedies:
"Central Intelligence" (2016)
"R.E.D." (2010)
"Grosse Pointe Blank" (1997)
"Johnny English" (2003)
"Keeping Up With the Joneses" (2016)
"Killers" (20010)
This movie only made me want a second movie with them all working together.
Yes that would have been so great!
Digging the Fruits Basket collection!
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites, and the only manga I own all of 😊
Jamie Lee Curtis actually did the helicopter stunt.
what a badass 😲
And on her 35th birthday too! ✊😎
Love this one, great tongue in cheek action movie. Arnold does these action movies so well.
He really does them better than anyone, I’m glad I still have a few more to see!
30:56
"TOASTYYYYY"
one of the funniest performances by bill paxton !and as for jamie and tia..WOW!!!! 💯💘💥💥💥❤️🔥
Comedy, eye candy, and explosions, what could be better?
One of the funniest movies I saw in the 90s and with great action scenes, the others that make me laugh a lot are the Bad Boys saga with Will Smith and Lethal Weapon with Mel Gibson, also with the same formula, action and comedy, I recommend them.
I’ve seen Lethal Weapon, but not Bad Boys 🙂
"Ass like a 10 year old boy". The 90s, ladies and gentlemen, when Michael Jackson was King!
Pfffffft 🤣
nice reaction
btw the doughter was played by Eliza Doushko (99% i misspelled the name) an actress who loved by most of Buffy The Vampire Slayer watchers :)
I thought I recognized her name, I'm a little familiar with Buffy but didn't see a ton of it
@@RhetoricalThrill she played Faith
Other movies this has Sam Elliott Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patrick Rush 1991 check out trailer and Point Of No Return
This film is a remake from the 1991 french comedy film La Totale! thank you so much for reacting True Lies amazing film classic
Thank you for watching! I didn’t know it was a remake, that’s interesting!
@@RhetoricalThrill 🙂🙂🙂
A moped has pedals.....that's a motorcycle!
Yeah idk why I kept saying it, it happens 😂
Fun fact they really destroyed the bridge if you look, the new bridge is next door to old one in the movie
Haha nice
IMO, this is Arnold's best film. He's got a lot of hit movies, of course.
You know, I don’t think I’d argue.
Your reaction was indeed a lot of fun. Thanks so much!!
Glad you liked it!
Great fun reaction. Thanks.
Thank you!
3:58 That would've blown his ear drums out.
Surprised they didn't do a sequel, because he rules sequels... Aliens and Terminator 2! U would proly really like his movie, The Abyss!
Arnold is great in this one but Jamie Lee Curtis is even better, also Bill Paxton, what a role 🤣
A fantastic cast from top to bottom, really 💜
Jamie Lee Curtis..... DAYUUM
Big true! Love her transformation, outfit and attitude do more than we think 😂
Perfect reaction to this childhood 💎 of mine.
Thank you! It is a damn good movie!
@@RhetoricalThrill Yes it is !
Bill Paxton was Legend in this, played a awesome dirtbag
Yes! And his meltdown into blubbering loser was hilarious!
Enjoyed this back in the day, forgot how good it actually was; might have to give it a re-watch!
19:44 - Punches left side of face, guy gets up holds his right side!!
C'mon, 23:03 that's sexy for a Doris!! >XD MIddle-aged, 2 kids, desk job, something's working for her¬!!
33:41 - Awesome John Travolta impression!! >XD
Seen the Beverley Hills Cop trilogy!?
@@TheEyez187 only the first Beverly Hills Cop so far
@@RhetoricalThrill Def. some of Eddie Murphy's best films IMO
Of course, by "moped" she means motorcycle.
I don’t know why I kept saying it 😆
I was 13 when this came out, and let's just say I was a big fan of Jamie Lee Curtis after a certain scene.
I imagine most people were 😂
James Camerons Romance isnt that bad.
Its not his strong suit, yorue right about that but it is servicable at least.
Terminator was ok, asiide from the being different species Avatar made decent sense.
Its basically just Pochahontas in space after all.
Doesnt EVERY Woman love Titanic?
Isnt that like international law?
😂 not this woman. It’s fine, but the romance is the weakest part for me.
Yes yes awsome do more Rocky and true lies is awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is!
OK, late to the party, however. In terms of the face slapping. I am willing to offer $16.49 and an almost complete set of Slim Whitman Cassette tapes. Life changing offer, I know. Kind of offer that could turn a girls head. But I am good for it.
🤣🤣🤣
@@RhetoricalThrill I will take that as a maybe. Did I mention I have a friend who can sometimes get slightly damaged, half priced Yankee candles. Just saying I have contacts.
I like your reactions..!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad 😊
@@RhetoricalThrill waiting for Rocky 6 !!!!
they read the script
"ass like a 10 year old boy"
no one thought hmm kinda weird
RIGHT???
You're so awesome. Your hubby is one lucky sob.
Aww, I’m more lucky to have him, honestly 🥰 Thank you!
Awesome reaction, can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
Added!
@@RhetoricalThrill appreciate it and love your channel so much.
@@christopherking4932 Aw, thank you!
@@RhetoricalThrill your welcome and can't wait to see your next video.
Some fun facts: Jamie Lee Curtis chose to do her own stunt for the car escape, as a birthday present for herself. The arm holding her is Cameron's.
Also, when Curtis fell during the dance it wasn't planned. You can see Arnold almost break character. Cameron thought it was funny, so left it in.
Sorry, your facts are wrong. The arm 'holding' her is that of Joel Kramer, Stunt co-ordinator who often doubled for Arnold. Jamie Lee is wired to the skid of the helicopter but Cameron was certainly close by because he was personally manning the camera taking the shot. Kramer faced several misconduct accusations during his career in the light of the 'MeToo' movement including from Eliza Dusku who was only 12 during shooting.
And the story about the fall not being planned isn't true either. It wasn't in the script, but Cameron and Curtis came up with it on set. He whispered into her ear asking if she could let go of the pole. She did and she said it got the biggest laugh of her career.
The fall was hilarious! I love Arnold’s reaction either way 😆
Wil. You do any horror on this channel?
I would if more people watched them. Sadly the two horror movies I’ve done are my two lowest viewed videos 😢 😆 But there’s been some decent growth lately so I think come Halloween there will be some again!
Yes might not be because its horror more likely the actual movies themselves usually I dunno .
Out of my 3 requests 2 are horror, 1 is a comedy 😆
The Heavenly Kid ( comedy )
The Ninth gate ( horror) Starring Johnny Depp
Stigmata ( horror ) .Starring Patricia Arquette
Want to have people talk about you for a week or more.
Go to a bank and wait in a long line to get up to the teller. Then ask for change of a nickel.
They will talk about you for weeks.
I don't think it's that he doesn't love her, he does. But he's played this boring guy so long and their marriage has just been kind of in a rut. He can't really "share" what's going on in his life. He has to keep her at arms length. But i have no doubt that Harry loves Helen, just that their marriage has gotten a bit stale. As Helen says she felt time was running out to do something crazy .. Jamie Lee and Arnie are such a great team later in the film. When they get captured she's trying to protect him.
I liked that it got clearer that he did love her and only her, and I LOVED how she tried protecting him 🥰
@@RhetoricalThrill plus it was funny as hell when he hit Gib in the face for hitting Helen with the rifle. Lol... Did you catch the tiny post credits scene?
the bit with Gib complaining in the truck? Or was there another? Tubi likes to cut the movie off during the credits and it's almost impossible to get back into it
@@mcgilj1
@@RhetoricalThrill no.. That's the one. Too bad we never got a Bond like series from this.. Would have been fun
