YOUNGBLOOD with Rob Lowe & Patrick Swayze is the Best Movie You Never Saw
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- If you played hockey as a kid growing up in the late eighties/early nineties, you probably watched the 1986 cult classic Youngblood, starring Rob Lowe. A risqué, action-packed hockey flick, in it Lowe plays a seventeen-year-old farm boy who joins the Hamilton Mustangs. While there, he’s taken under the wing of an older player, played by the late, great Patrick Swayze, and has to deal with a brutal bully on the ice. To make his dreams of playing in the NHL come true, Lowe’s Derek Youngblood must learn to stand up for himself both on the ice and off.
With its R-rating, Youngblood is a cool little eighties movie and, outside of 1977’s Slap Shot, one of the most beloved hockey flicks of the era. Even though it wasn’t much of a hit back in 1986, it holds up pretty well as a film of its era and even co-stars a very young Keanu Reeves as a French Canadian teammate of Derek’s, plus the great Ed Lauter as his coach, and Cynthia Gibb as his love interest. It’s this week’s Best Movie You Never Saw!
Let us know if you’ve ever seen Youngblood in the comments!

#Youngblood #PatrickSwayze #TheBestMovieYouNeverSaw
The perfect movie indeed! And I was just the right age for having Swayze and Rob Lowe as romantic heroes,, it really didn't matter that they had skates on... my brother watched this movie 6 times during the 24 hour rental period,, and I was right there beside him,, good memories 👌🙂
Very well said :
People call me Gina, it's short for Georgina and weird seeing my name 😂😂
I watched this movie so many times as a kid my dad literally threw the VHS cassette on the ground smashing it and yelled, "Go play outside with your friends!" I own the DVD today. Sorry dad.
Lol I watched it a hundred times also!
😂
Its a lot harder today with screens everywhere at the drop of a dime but being a dad myself now I can relate. Luckily my son just needs any kind of ball and he's happy my daughter is the ultimate couch potato.
My all time favorite movie. I've watched it so many times that I can quote the script. It's the movie that got me into hockey
Zeezel lol. This movie is criminally underrated and my second favorite hockey movie behind Slapshot. “Somebody hit the hotdog!!”
They can't catch him :)
This is the karate kid of 80s hockey movies and it's extremely well acted and likable, I'm not even a big hockey fan but I enjoyed this.
Hey if it works don't mess with it. My son loves sports movies I'll have to buy this one for him. He's way to young for Hot Dog.
This is a blast from the past. Remember the VHS cover for this in the video store. This is why I watch the channel. Every now and then you'll pop with a film that I had totally forgot about. Every Sunday I watch a film from the 80's so I'm gonna revisit this.
My best friend when I was ten introduced me to this movie. He had a new VCR which is like owning a Lamborghini today. One of his first tapes was Youngblood and we were huge Flyers fans and hockey in general so we loved it. Of course we were in love with Cynthia Gibb and Mrs. McGill's impressive funbags. We'd quote this movie all the time when we were growing up. "Did you put the puck in the net before or after Mrs. McGill caught you?"
I might have messed it up, it's been 30 plus years. But I love this movie still.
Youngblood and The Program were my go to movies in high school and college. Before every game, the Youngblood tape came out and we got psyched up.
Alot of NHLers in the film and Swayze can actually skate which is impressive as hell. Rob, although i love him, can barely stand up on skates, why Peter Zezel of the Flyers does all his double work. Which is most
Haven’t seen too many movies with Rob Lowe but he was good in this movie. But Patrick Swayze is one of the most underrated actors. Swayze elevated movies with his side roles. He of course is known for his heart throb movies but Red Dawn, Roadhouse, Point Break, he was great in action movies. I wish he would’ve been casted in more of them. Truly some missed opportunities. When I saw this I totally missed Keanu somehow lol. Makes Point Break even more cool to me with the reunion.
He could truly do it all!!! I love 'Next of Kin'..... I wish they still made action movies with the corny 1-liners (so awesome) He is missed badly...... but he lives on in a kick-ass, yet sweet stray cat that moved in. CATrick Swayze.... I adore them both.....❤
Underated? People who weren't there say the word underated. He was a huge star in the late 80s early 90s
@@daveyboy_ People normally try to spell the word right when they try to make a defense. Underrated has two Rs my guy. I don’t care how old you are or if you saw his movies in the 80s. I grew up through the 90s growing up watching his movies. Wow I’m so cool like you right? Hardly anyone besides this awesome RUclips channel talks about how great Swayze was back in the 80s and 90s. He deserves to be talked about today. Especially after his passing. Maybe you need to look up what the word underrated means, because since you clearly can’t spell it, I doubt you understand it. He deserves the respect to be talked about like again this channel does more often.
@@G0DLIKE92 there u go , u didnt grow up in the 80's . If you did you'd know the guy was on every cover of every magazine Rolling Stone . People- the Sexiest Man Alive . Cant be too underrated with those credentials.
I saw Youngblood in the movie theater when I was 12. My brother and I actually liked it. Also, She's like The Wind was written for 1984's Grandview USA with C Thomas Howell and Patrick Swayze!
Ooohhhh watched this on VHS… in the UK years ago! And yep it’s underrated :) thank you 🙏🏼⭐️🙏🏼
Loved Youngblood and Hotdog growing up! Loved all the masks in this movie.
Honestly I was raised in Canada with many friends who played hockey, even tried the sport myself so this was watched a lot lol. One interesting thing to note is that Keanu Reeves really was a high school goalie in Toronto and was actually quite good so talk about a perfect casting.
One of my all time childhood favorite movies- was in 6th grade when this came out in 86 - had a pond across the street and skated from Dec- March every year in the 80's and up through the early 90's before going off to college. This movie highlighted some of the best years of my life - the feeling of skating in open air, never wanting to come in like Youngblood himself says in the movie. I watched it so many times and it never gets old. Going to hold on to these memories forever as Winters these days are a week here and there and skating on the pond is almost a thing of the past.
You’re right that no one will confuse it with Slapshot, the Mighty Ducks, etc… because Youngblood is the BEST hockey movie ever made!!!
I have probably watched it over 50 times in my life and I think it ages just fine and has true love for the greatest game on earth!!!
Loved this movie as a teenager. I was playing hockey around this time later working out one of the local ice rinks driving the Zamboni.
One of my favorite movies! I recently purchased it on Blu-ray 🤓
one of my favorite movies, made me fall in love with real hockey, and made me fall in love with Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, and Keanu Reeves.
SOOOO underrated and the soundtrack was not that bad either I especially remember Starship having a song for it.I never rented it but always seen it but definitely saw it on cable a few times
As a Canadian this movie was a must watch back in the day and i love it but its been awhile since i seen it, i CANT find it anywhere!!!.... never mind i found it and im gonna watch tonight 😊
Another highly underrated 80's sports movie: WILDCATS ❤️❤️❤️
Oh for sure!
It’s also worth mentioning the pulsing & atmospheric score of William Orbit, who would later work with Madonna in the 1990’s amongst others. Thanks for the review of this one! I strongly feel ELECTRIC DREAMS (1984) deserves more recognition and acknowledgement with an overview/revisit from yourselves as well, when you can :)
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet
"Black Dog" from 1998 with Patrick swayze is another really forgotten action movie. Its an awesome action chase flick with trucks, its fun
I love _Black Dog!_ 🚛
Never saw!?! I've seen this a thousand times.
I watched it twice in one sitting. Here's why: My mother was invited to go see "Out of Africa" at the local theatre, and she asked me and my sister to go because she needed help with her wheelchair. No fan of Redford or Streep, my sister and I chose to watch "Youngblood". The only problem was that OOA was one of the LONGEST movies in movie history, so we paid to watch "Youngblood" again. I fell asleep about 15 minutes in and it was halfway through when my sister woke me up to say it was time to go home. 36 years later I can still recall bits and pieces of the film. Not the movie I'd take a date to, but it's watchable.
As a kid who grew up playing hockey in the 80's and early 90's, Slap Shot was the king of hockey movies, but this was the crown prince. One of my favorite movies. Just remember, the ONLY thing better than a glass of beer, is tea with Miss McGill.
Watching this on a date as a 15-year old on a summer language course in Oxford 1987 was great!
Info: Yes, it premiered a year earlier (1986 in USA) but film copies then did cost a lot of money. Most movies were first shown in USA and then months or even years later, shipped over to Europe. First to English speaking countries and after that run, were subtitled (or worse dubbed, ugh...) to secondary markets like Sweden, where I saw it again in the fall of 1987, with swedish text.
I remembered my brother rented it, and I don’t recall watching most of it or who played in it except for Patrick Swayze. Still have not revisted it, but glad Rob Lowe starred, and it’s Keanu Reeves’s debut film. I was a kid who was not into sports so maybe that was why it didn’t struck a cord with me.
I never really related to 80s Rob Lowe as an actor. But man, once he started focusing on more comedic roles as he got older, he was great. Maybe his good looks get in the way. When he doesn’t take himself too seriously, it really works.
I think in the Austin Powers movies and in Tommy boy he was fucking hilarious. And I liked his underrated roles in How to be a latin lover in 2017 & Thank you for smoking in 2005
There’s a movie called The Invention of Lying and Rob Lowe kills it in that one.
He has (had? haven't listened in a while) a podcast where he broke this down. If you have leading man good looks in Hollywood, leading man scripts is what you get. Lots of actors are fine with that. But, he mentioned that some try hard to break out of the mold. He went on to talk about how Alec Baldwin ate his way out of being a leading man to get more character acting, Pitt took smaller roles for little money where he could look disheveled.
@@Locadel2003 i could learn a lot from this guy.
Powerful for a short scene
I feel Bad Pitt suffered that as well. Looking back there are a wealth of great roles but primarily known as a pretty boy who made it big after Growing Pains.
Hhhmmmm sounds like another Hollywood A lister too.
Look forward to checking it out! Excellent breakdown too. I especially liked how you fakeout the PC route only to tell people to grow up. Refreshing to hear an adult sound like one
I had Rob Lowe pinups on my wall - but definitely think he got a whole lot better as an actor later one. Loved him in Parks and Recreation. And he still is pretty. :)
I was a senior in high school when this came out and I love New York Rangers and was playing hockey since I was 10 so this movie really hits home. In the early eighties we would walk over a mile to the Frozen ponds with her hockey stick and skates over the shoulder. No mom and dad taking us to the rink. Awesome movie and Blu-Ray release.
Jim Youngs and Ed Lauter were solid as supporting actors in this. I really wish they had a scene together in this film.
Saw this as a 2nd bill at a drive-in after watching the first run of Rocky IV. Shaving initiation freaked me out lol
I love this movie
ive been wanting to find a good hockey movie that i haven't seen for ages this loos like it!!!
There aren't that many hockey movies.
Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze are surprisingly good skaters
Swayze makes sorta sense but Lowe was a surprise indeed lol
@mayla brown 100%
Hell yeah! This movie is a rite of passage for any hockey player.
No doubt!
Second best hockey movie ever.
After Slap Shot?
@@JoBloOriginals OBVIOUSLY!
Classic film.
Clever releasing this the same day as NHL trade deadline.
Great review. I loved this movie!
She's Like the Wind actually reached #3 - but still very popular.
The best haha!
I remember reading comics as a kid, discovering this movie (and a film called the Wildcats) and was kinda excited until I realized my mistake almost immediately and became disappointed.
This movie was extremely popular in '87/88
I actually liked this movie, especially the bar room scene!
I can never watch anything with Lowe and Swayze together (including this movie) without thinking of Darry and Sodapop. That HAD to have been a conversation while making the film.
Never saw? I watched it ten times as a kid.
Patrick Swayze was a gorgeous man.
It’s a great movie and I never see it on any of my streaming channels: HBO max, Amazon prime, Hulu, Netflix. Many older movies are unavailable across the board unfortunately.
It's on RUclips
@@Chiledyz wish you were right about that, thanks so much.
Before I watch this I just want to say this movie was my teens as a huge New York Rangers fan!!
I didn't mind this film especially as I'm not into sport, I watched it because I loved the Outsiders and the parts they play in that 😊
Have you seen the Lords of Discipline that's a brilliant film but no one ever talks about it. You should check it out if you haven't seen it 👍
THE OUTSIDERS IS MY NUMBER ONE FAV BOOK EVERRRR
LOVE THE MOVIE TOO
UGH SOOO FINEE
The good thing is that you can watch it on RUclips
Let's go pretty boy!
Youngblood is the perfect movie to explain fighting in hockey.
The liberties taken on talent and the consequences of not having toughness on your team.
Since guys like Racki do exist it forces the viewer to examine the options.
But come on, in what world is Crosby or Gretzky going to beat up Probert or McSorley.
If Swayze came back from injury and was Messier tough, then I could believe it.
Oh man... please do Kevin Costner's American Flyers - the best 80's cycling movie (well, maybe the only 80's cycling movie) :)
Fun Fact…for almost 10 years Rob Lowe didn’t realize Keanu Reeves was actually an actor. He thought Keanu was a hockey player/extra with an extended role.
Parents taped this onto a Beta tape, off of tv, really showing my age.....so anyways the edited for TV version was my childhood......
Man my mind was blown when I finally saw the R rated version on VHS (Miss McGill..... sooooo hot.....want to touch the hiney)
that Veronica Vaughn is one piece of acee. I know from experience dude
I've watched an insane amount of Cable in the 90s and I never saw this movie. Not even on Encore!
prolly because it was on like real late at night. it was just on tv last week
I was 15 when this movie came out, do I need to say more ;-)
Hell Yeah
Are you also reviewing more Chuck Norris movies including: “The Delta Force” (1986), “Delta Force 2” (1990) “Missing In Action 2: The Beginning (1985), “Braddock Missing In Action 3” (1988), “Invasion U.S.A” (1985), “Hero and The Terror” (1988) and “Forced Vengeance (1982)”? 💪💪🥊🥊👊🏻👊🏻🥋🥋
Props that he did learn to skate for this. Obviously the technical moves and shooting are a double, but nowadays they'd just greenscreen and CGI all that. Let's just say his skating was better than KIanu's French Canadian accent.
Really nice review on a great film, man - and it is WAY better than Mighty Ducks.
That's because MD is for kids
Omg Rob Lowe… so adorable then, still sexy now
I can’t find your video for “The Fan” did you guys take it down?
The mask was inspired by Gilles Gratton
For Roller Ball.
a mistake that irks hockey fans is the opening "home video" footage, before the credits. youngblood shoots left in those vids, & rob lowe shoots right. it's overlookable, but still...
Not seen this film in years
Mystery Alaska is another one
PLEASE stop ruining your videos with the bell at the end. Makes it impossible to watch your playlists or add to queue
*_"Rob Lowe, Sweep Low, Chad Lowe.." (Let's see who gets THAT reference)_* 🙂
Young rob lowe is so hot.
too hot for words...but he still is
How can I watch this? Every sight doesn’t have it
It's on RUclips
Strangely enough the only thing that stuck with me after seeing on video back in the day was Cynthia Gibb's cute ass, not so much Lowe's.
Yeah, call's Rob Lowe "pretty" several times, but not Cynthia GIbb.
@@bossfan49 Rob lowe was much prettier than cynthia gibbs
Rob Lowe looks like Clark Kent
Only in the 80s could a movie be this gay and also not at all gay.
Yeah its homosexual scenes are cringe nowadays.
Miss McGill would straighten them out.
If you have ever eaten Popeye's then KFC doesn't compare
Little Nicky was right
It's a little unnerving that you commented how "pretty" Rob Lowe is so many times, even while showing a close up of Cynthia Gibb... and didn't mention once how pretty SHE was.
I'm a 100% straight man, but rob lowe was much prettier than cynthia gibbs.
@@neiljohnson7914 Check your math. Not 100%
@@bossfan49 You're telling me what my heterosexual level is? I think I know better what I am than you. Just because I recognize that lowe was prettier than gibbs doesn't make me gay. Now, if we're talking about michelle pfeiffer then it's a different matter
hi
Opening Scene: ruclips.net/video/z1vXzNw-FNM/видео.html
Chadwick Boseman & Harrison Ford
Keanu Reeves is in this movie. He has the WORST french accent ever. Yet Rob Lowe thought Keanu was actually a french actor playing the part!!!
“You never saw”? WTF? Ahhh… lame.
This movie was terrible, the chick was hot though
I don't think so. They should have cast a much prettier actress to match rob lowe's prettiness.
@@neiljohnson7914 Gay much ?
@@daveyboy_ Actually, I'm 100% straight. I only enjoy sex with women. But I have to admit that rob lowe was much prettier than cynthia gibbs. They should have cast a much better-looking actress to match rob lowe. Michelle Pfeifer would have been a good choice.
@@neiljohnson7914 as a teenager ? 3 yrs after Scarface ?
@@daveyboy_ scarface was made in 1983. Youngblood was made in 1984. Pfeiffer was born in 1958. She would have been 26. Not a teen ager, but they could have re written the role to feature an older woman. And I'm sure they could have found a teen actress as pretty as michelle pfeiffer
МЫ ВИДЕЛИ ЭТО 100 РАЗ ПРОЧНЫЙ ХОРОШИЙ ХОККЕЙ!!
I'd subscribe if my feed wasn't filled with non-video pictures all the time. Also, the multiple bell rings is annoying at the end. Makes me not subscribe. So instead, every day, I just search "joblo" and watch the videos.
