The best thing I've ever seen was when my twin boys, who were four years old at the time, saw the "little engine that could" scene where Payne does his war cry (er, scream). I've never heard anyone laugh as hard as my boys laughed at that! It's one of my favorite memories. Especially now that my boys are teenagers and don't laugh at anything.
I always wondered what was on the other side of that closet. Not only would anything in that closet be ruined, but it isn't stopping them bullets so they going threw the back of that closet and into the next room. If the other kids hadn't moved out to the barracks he likely would have killed one.
@@Yugioh420 It's a .45 looks like, and the age of that building means that door is probably solid core with probably brick in the inner walls. That building isn't made like most houses with 2x4 studs and drywall. The bullet probably never made it through the door and if it did, not out of the closet space.
"Theres no one left Payne.......you killed them all" always gets me to pop. The dilemma of a superhero who killed all his villains so he has nothing to do anymore 😂😂😂
when i first saw this film, that line immediately sold me on the narrative potential of what i was going to watch. a man so devoted to military service that he would have a hard time in civilian life. and i was NOT wrong! he was really harsh on the kids at first, but it's a wholesome story of growth for both him AND the kids alike. he softens up a little (learning when to be harsh and when to be gentle) and finds a good life outside of the military as a possible husband and certainly a father figure. as for the kids, he was there when they needed him (closet monster and the abusive father) and they both grew to respect him and grew into men. plus, if you don't mind dark humor, it's just funny as hell to boot!
One of my favorite movies ever. All my friends use to call my dad major Payne . My dad was in the army for 32 years and was a drill instructor for 10 years. Dad served in Panama and Honduras was in Germany when the Berlin wall came down then the first gulf war and 4 more tours in the second Gulf war. Over 12 years in combat for our nation. Great reaction bro always makes my day to get home from work and watch one of your reactions. I've watched this 5 times now lol
Had a buddy that was in the infantry, watched major payne, told me about it, absolutely hilarious "I know dudes like that" he said..... absolutely an instant classic, one of the best ever.
"Want me to take your mind off that pain" while taking the pinky is something i do with my kids every time the go a bit over the top with a minor boo boo. They've seen the film loads of times and get the reference so they start laughing and, viola, problem solved 😂
My sons favorite movie along with Uncle Buck! One of them would start crying occasionally, I would ask to see their finger, usually there would be a slight smile come across their face through those tears.
I think it's the other way around. I think this movie could pass for a hard PG movie now. There were so many 80's and 90's movies that were rated R that could pass for PG-13 nowadays.
I loved this movie as a kid, now at 41, i still love it. When i got prpmoted to an NCO, I ran my march drill in the style of Maj. Payne in front of the base commander. He laughed his ass off and congratulated us on our ability to maintain bearing while doing that.
Cadet Stone, the punk made leader, is actor Michael Imperioli. He went on to play Christopher Moltisanti in The Sapranos. A series you should do. We quoted this all the time during PT and training.
The thing that is awesome about Payne. He may of hated Stone. But never laid his hands on him. And when Payne saw Stone's household life. Payne puts himself between Stone and Stone's stepdad.
The question about aragon if you was in the fellowship would you follow aragon as king of men and what qualities do you think that he would have in terms of a modern solider or general in today's age would he be a good leader
Was enjoyable to see a marine watch this movie. Closest thing to the military that I've done is be a leader of parties (squads) in Dungeons and Dragons lol. A good game for team building exercises. Knowing strengths/weaknesses of every party member, building unity within the group, and using out-of-the-box strategy to achieve goals. When I'm the dungeon master, I try to push the party to appoint a leader of the group; either permanently or to interchange depending on the scenario. I do scenarios that aren't straightforward so the party has to think out of the box. DevinG, thank you for your service.
I had a manger who was just like major pain. He was named porter .. without him my life would be way different. Thank u to Mr porter for guiding me in the right direction. He was everything like major pain..
Couldn't agree more, man! Kids needs a dad, or at the very least, SOME masculine figure in their lives. And yes, that's exactly what went wrong with areas of the military, and so many other areas: Too much emotion, not enough reality/practical training. Applies to so many areas nowadays too. Nothing wrong with having emotion/feelings, but they gotta come after the reality/logic part. This movie aged so damn well. Was a childhood favorite of mine, and seeing it at almost 40 now, it's still just as good and has so many life lessons and character building. Lotta heart, lotta laughs. Man, the 90s were so goated... I miss 'em. 😢
seriously, when i first watched this film a few years ago, this movie felt like a throwback to those good old days back before wokeness. days when you had black and white characters alike treated equally (major payne feels like a character first and foremost regardless of his race and even set straight the "malcolm X" kid who had a bit of a black power trip going at first). and also back then when people weren't afraid to have politically incorrect humor like a lot of the "dark humor" here. plus, like you said, this was a "man's movie" of payne becoming a wonderful father figure who (despite being a little harsh) did benefit the boys mor than he hurt them and grew them into real men. he was even there for two of them when he needed to be, "killing" the theoretical closet monster and setting straight the family issues of the oldest of the boys. heck, even the blind impaired kid was given a moment to shine with the blindfold gun twirl!
In a 2008 Father’s Day speech, a few months before his election as president of the United States, Barack Obama said, “Fathers are “critical” to the foundation of each family. They are teachers and coaches. They are mentors and role models. They are examples of success and they are the men who constantly push us toward it.” What makes his comments particularly noteworthy is that Barack Obama grew up without a father. Both boys and girls need fathers. A boy had no built-in understanding about how to be a man. This means a good and responsible man. Male nature is wild, most obviously regarding sex and violence. If a boy does not have a father who models how a man controls himself, he will most likely not know how to control himself, let alone want to. That’s why most males in prison for violent crimes grew up without a father. There’s no question that many mothers have done an excellent job raising a boy without their son’s father. But common sense alone suggests that a mother simply cannot model what a boy “should”be any more than a man can model to a girl what a woman “should” be. And then there is the issue of controlling boys and their wild natures. Again, there are mothers who are able to do this, but if a boy is at all difficult, as so many are as he gets older, most mothers will find it more and more difficult to control their son, because unruly boys listen to their fathers much more than they listen to their mothers. Which is precisely why most violent criminals grew up in fatherless homes. They obviously did not listen to their mothers. As regards to daughters, the father is the man girls learn to relate to. Without a father to relate to and bond with, there are at least two destructive consequences. First, she will not know how to choose a man wisely. She will not know how a man should treat her and she may well end up with a man who mistreats her. Second, to fulfill her desire to bond with a man. As primal a yearning in most women as bonding with a woman in most men, she will go from man to man. Girls without fathers in their lives are for more likely to be sexually promiscuous, and to begin sexual activity at an earlier age, which in turn are reasons many young women are depressed. Few women find sleeping with man after man fulfilling. Most find it ultimately depressing. Finally, fathers give both sons and daughters the thing children need most, a sense of safety and security. As much as children need love, they need a sense of security even more. And in general, Moms give love and Dads give security. It’s not that hard to learn how necessary fathers are, not just by having one obviously and being one yourself, but by the many people men and women of all ages, who can tell others that they see certain men in their lives as “father figures”. Any man should be honored to fill that role. The good news is that many men can fill it, grandfathers, uncles, teachers, mentors, clergy, etc. But some man HAS to be your father.
Fun fact: the kid at 07:44 talking about Red Fox is actually Damon Wayans(Payne) real life nephew, Damien Dante Wayans i think. I think he is Keenans(Blankman) son
Ooooh, ,forgot the little engine that could..... Charlie had other plans...... 'Payne..... I can't feel my legs/......." "Bubba..... THEY AIN'T THERE" hahahaha. shoooot, that was fun remembering with ya, Thanks DevinG.
Dude! You are crushing it with your movie picks! I loved and grew up with this movie. I’ve seen this bad ass movie over 25 times at least. It’s one of the best character movies ever. Thumbs up all!
Well Mr. Paul I'm 47 years old and I'm struggling with minor health issues compared to this and imagine facing it with no fear and peace which it seemed to me you had both courage and peace, R.I.P Brother
This is one of my favorites. I watched this with my dad so many times when I grew up. The introduction to the squad scene is next level hilarious. You would get cancelled for making a scene like that today.
I will forever love this movie. I saw this on VHS back 1995. This movie would NOT be made today. The world is too soft now. We simply laugh at stuff together anymore for fear of offending so.e snowflake. I'm glad you chose to review it anyway! I'm also glad you pointed out the fact that boys need fathers. It's a special type of relationship.
One of my all time favorite movies. If you like this check out his brother's movie Low Down Dirty Shame (with a young Jada Pinket) and their show prior to this, In Living Color (skit comedy with early days Jim Carey and J. Lo!). Kind of like SNL but more offensive in funny ways. I remember watching it at slumber parties in middle school.
As funny today as it was back in the day. Crazy how much Damon's son looks like him. Also really LOVE Damon in The Last Boy Scout with Bruce Willis and Halle Berry.
The biker was Bam Bam Bigalo old school wrestler
Damon Wayans at his best. Mayor Payne is a timeless classic.
The best thing I've ever seen was when my twin boys, who were four years old at the time, saw the "little engine that could" scene where Payne does his war cry (er, scream).
I've never heard anyone laugh as hard as my boys laughed at that! It's one of my favorite memories. Especially now that my boys are teenagers and don't laugh at anything.
"Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum! What Beanstalk did you fall off from?" My favorite line from Major Payne!🤣
“Bubba come crawlin out the back door both legs missin” 😂 i grew up with this movie
"Lula Mae's baby boy"
""If he's in there he ain't happy," is the sweetest violent thing ever lol
I always wondered what was on the other side of that closet. Not only would anything in that closet be ruined, but it isn't stopping them bullets so they going threw the back of that closet and into the next room. If the other kids hadn't moved out to the barracks he likely would have killed one.

This movie was a staple of my childhood
Fucking same mate same
Mine too
This and Down Periscope.
Men from both sides of my family joined the Navy, including my big brother.

Major pain saw eleven tours of eating us military M.R.E.S Fortifying his digestive system to superhuman levels. lol 😁
This movie is basically a kid friendly version of Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood
"I am not yo dam brotha!"
Equality.
That kid is Damien Dante Wayans, Damon's nephew.
I always loved the line in Full Metal Jacket, "To me you are all equally worthless"
One of my favorite movies ever. All my friends use to call my dad major Payne . My dad was in the army for 32 years and was a drill instructor for 10 years. Dad served in Panama and Honduras was in Germany when the Berlin wall came down then the first gulf war and 4 more tours in the second Gulf war. Over 12 years in combat for our nation. Great reaction bro always makes my day to get home from work and watch one of your reactions. I've watched this 5 times now lol
“What’s yo angle boy…you plottin on me.” 😂😂😂
"Don't push the maybes...baby."
I saw this in theater. Loved it!
Luv the little engine that could story!! Toot Toot! Haha Lol ...AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!😂
Toot ... toot ...
Had a buddy that was in the infantry, watched major payne, told me about it, absolutely hilarious "I know dudes like that" he said..... absolutely an instant classic, one of the best ever.
"Want me to take your mind off that pain?"
I still use that line to this day
I had forgotten how great this movie is
Glad to see you have a sense of humor. So do I. A he he he
"Want me to take your mind off that pain" while taking the pinky is something i do with my kids every time the go a bit over the top with a minor boo boo.
They've seen the film loads of times and get the reference so they start laughing and, viola, problem solved 😂
I watched major payne so much my vhs stopped working 😂
I dont know what's more funny, this movie or your reaction to it
Tiger is Orlando Brown.
Yes it sure is! Orlando's acting on this film left fans raving. That must be why he later starred on a show titled, "That's So Raven" I guess. Hehe!😁
One tubby tubby. Two tubby tubby 😂😂
The lil' boy with the huge ears and allergies later plays "the Sherminator" in the American Pie series
My sons favorite movie along with Uncle Buck! One of them would start crying occasionally, I would ask to see their finger, usually there would be a slight smile come across their face through those tears.
"Rated 16+" Man, parents these days making soft children. This was a kids movie when it released. 😂😂😂😂
Hell yeah it was i was like 5 when this came out 😂
I think it's the other way around. I think this movie could pass for a hard PG movie now. There were so many 80's and 90's movies that were rated R that could pass for PG-13 nowadays.
Fact!
@@Idkwhattoput-p2snope

7:06 thats the Shermanator from American Pie!! a 1999 movie.. crazy how fast we grow up
One of the greatest comedies of the 90s. My sisters and I watched this on loop! Plus Hillary Banks!? Soooooo hot
Cadet Stone, the punk made leader, is actor Michael Imperioli. He went on to play Christopher Moltisanti in The Sapranos. A series you should do.
We quoted this all the time during PT and training.
Thats the wrong actor
I watched this movie so many times I can quote it word for word, all characters...
When he kicks the window it was real he cut his leg open and stopped production for two weeks. Story has it he almost died from loss of blood.
The thing that is awesome about Payne. He may of hated Stone. But never laid his hands on him. And when Payne saw Stone's household life. Payne puts himself between Stone and Stone's stepdad.
Major Payne is right that guy wasn't his damn brother it's actually his nephew
This movie brings so many memories. I am a 90’s kid so this movie is a classic and I remember my dad and I be watching this movie so many times
*If you’ve enjoyed the reaction please leave like on the video. Your support means EVERYTHING!! I love you guys*
❤
Btw DevinG another good military type movie u would like especially since Sam is ur favorite lord of the rings guy is 1991 Toy Soilders
Gotta do Kingpin my dog, it’s your type of movie
The question about aragon if you was in the fellowship would you follow aragon as king of men and what qualities do you think that he would have in terms of a modern solider or general in today's age would he be a good leader

Toot toot 😂😂
This is one of my favorite movies.
One of my favorite movies growing up
Major Payne is a remake of the 1955 Charlton Heston movie "The Private War Of Major Benson" a very rare comedy for the legendary actor.
id love to have a beer and just talk to this youtuber. he seems like a genuine fun and happy man
I had a manger who was just like major pain. He was named porter .. without him my life would be way different. Thank u to Mr porter for guiding me in the right direction. He was everything like major pain..
Great movie when I was younger, loved your reaction.😂
At the beginning when he’s spinning in his room talking about getting a job…it’s satire of Apocalypse Now.

Bro has that Fast 5 The Rock goatee going. Just need about 5 gallons of baby oil. 😂

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

30:12 Yes, that kid is Orlando Brown
The kid with the big ears is sherminator from American pie.
Underrated movie. It's really funny. Classic.
My ROTC Sarge was just like Payne. God the memories
I was 10 when this came out. I used to watch in 3x a week for a long time.. lol
Not gonna lie i would pay top dollar to see you as Major Payne in a movie. That would be legendary lol
I quote this film all the time,
Bubba, you ain't got no legs!!!
Major pain made my day! Damn Major Pain keeps falling for them eyes
This is one of my favorites. I watched this with my dad so many times when I grew up. The introduction to the squad scene is next level hilarious. You would get cancelled for making a scene like that today.
As a brown eyed dude, ass eyes is an insult I think about all the time 🤣
Bro I loved this movie so much growing up.
Great reaction Devin 😂😂😂
Back when they weren’t ashamed to make fun of people for comedy. 😂
I have seen modern comedies, they have no problem making fun of people at all.
one of the best movies out there with daymon.
The actor who plays as Tiger is Orlando Brown aka Eddie from That’s So Raven and Nelson from The Jamie Foxx Show
He also played sticky in proud family and fillmore

She still is..
@@bigb2494 agreed 👍
Supposedly they slept together according to Orlando Brown
She’s 57… until I’m in my 50s it’s impossible to be attracted
@@jimbrewer5048she’ll always be older. She can be attractive without you wanting to be intimate with or liking her. 21:33
didnt know if you knew or not, but the lil boy who plays tiger is Orlando Brown
7:55 thats hes actual nephew
ROTC and JROTC are instructed by retired career officers (commissioned and noncommissioned).
This is one of my favorite movies growing up and the reason I joined the ROTC in school haha
I have to say it, a amazing movie and I will watch a few moore times before I die.
One of my all time favorite movies. If you like this check out his brother's movie Low Down Dirty Shame (with a young Jada Pinket) and their show prior to this, In Living Color (skit comedy with early days Jim Carey and J. Lo!).

Little engine that could is my favorite part of the movie
He makes war look fun.

Dude!!! I own & love this movie. George Thorogood & the Destroyers.
As funny today as it was back in the day. Crazy how much Damon's son looks like him. Also really LOVE Damon in The Last Boy Scout with Bruce Willis and Halle Berry.
You gotta know the reference the "2 whole week since i killed a man" is. Watch Apocalypse Now.
I live in Virginia and this is definitely one of my favorite movies that was filmed here. Great reaction!
