As a person who works in the legal field, I really like how this movie brings up discovery in the trial process. It's where many cases are won or lost. It isn't exactly glamorous, but it's very important.
Absolutely correct. We watched clips in Evidence class. It deals with discovery questions in a criminal case fairly well and addresses issues like qualifying experts and laying foundation. It also happens to be really damn funny
Actor Fred Gwynne (the judge) was a classically trained stage actor who went on to success in TV and film. He was also an author and painter/sculptor. He became typecast for his role as Herman Munster in the 60's hit tv show "The Munsters". Fans would attend his gallery exhibitions and yell out for him to do his infamous Herman Munster laugh. He did not take kindly to the disrespect.
It's especially gratifying to realize at the end that there were really no villains in the movie (other than the two murderers whom we never see). It does seem at the beginning, as you said, that there's some conspiracy to railroad these boys, but in fact everyone was doing their best to handle the case on the basis of the information they had. The judge was strict but not inappropriately so, the witnesses were reporting what they thought they saw, the prosecutor was doing his job honestly. It leaves one with a good feeling when it's over.
There is real racism against Italians though. And this movie came out towards the tail end of it being considered “ok”. I’m second generation Italian American and I have two uncles who were victims of hate crimes and ignorant police work.
@@anthonyd507 haha - well, the way the two "Italians" spoke about people in Alabama - not the only ones with prejudice. Also, Italian isnt a race, it is a Nationality
the villains are the arbitrary and outdated court system that requires you to have a very skilled lawyer to make sure you dont go to judge for a crime you didnt commit and a judge who thinks clothes and procedure are more important than someones life and freedom.. and "it all worked out in the end" is not a justification
The siren you heard is to let the factory workers know its time to come to work. In many small towns in the south, their entire livelihoods are around the factories and mills.
You didn't highlight my two favorite scenes, which have become iconic: when Mona Lisa talks about the deer getting shot, and complains that her biological clock is TICKING! :)
One really good movie that people forget Joe Pesci played an important role in is Oliver Stone’s JFK. Excellent movie, even if you’re not into conspiracies. My Cousin Vinny is just hilarious and the fact that Ralph Macchio, the Karate Kid, is in this too is great. Marissa Tomei steals this movie though and won an Oscar for her role. She’s terrific.
My favorite scene in that movie is when Marisa Tormei's character goes on about the car's differences. I'm a car enthusiast myself... people with car knowledge aren't always men. 😉 Her character in that movie, I can relate.
I always suggest this movie as a great comedy to people. So many good aspects to the film that you picked up on. If you want another one that is completely different, but equally satisfying, I would suggest "Galaxy Quest". It also has a great cast and writing. Those two movies are true hidden gems to anyone that hasn't seen them before.
They technically did have enough evidence. They had witnesses who identified them and a confession, even a misunderstood one. The guys waved their rights to an attorney and chose to speak without one. I’m not sure if your aware of the Miranda rights but it states that they had the right to remain silent and that anything they said can be used against them. When he was asked if he was aware of the rights and was willing to wave them and he said yes that put it on him. He should have specifically asked what the charge was as it’s not always going to be told to them. The judge was actually not harsh, most courtrooms have strict procedure guidelines and not following them is a sign of disrespect. The judge gave him everything he needed to succeed and expected him to understand how to conduct himself. This is one of my husbands and my favorite movies. Very quotable. Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for this role.
It’s so funny that at the beginning of the film when the girlfriend asked if she could help, you said : “ yeah, let him concentrate “then at the end when she asked , you screamed “ come on Vince let her help “ 🤣
This one's a total classic! It's just such a good, entertaining movie. I've watched it probably a hundred times and I still enjoy it. It's just one of those movies that'll never get old too me.
In the U.S., the prosecution has to show the defense the materials and evidence they intend to use at trial, it's called "discovery" (not disclosure, as in the movie). It's the law. That way the defense has time to prepare. They can decide how they're going to cross examine witnesses, impeach evidence, and call expert witnesses, based on what they learn from the discovery process.
This movie is so flipping funny! You're going to love it Kabir! He's not just good at playing a bad guy, but he's also very funny. It's called Discovery! Vinnie has the right to have the files.
This has been one of my favorite movies since I was about 10. I just remember watching it with my mom and thinking it was hilarious, though a lot probably went over my head at that age. But the accents alone are a very entertaining part of the movie. 😂
My wife and I love this movie, and any awkward kid is a "yout" to us. We finally decided it was an acronym for "young oblivious unemployed teenager." 😄
The judge is also famous for being a tv show: The Munsters. It's a 30 minute comedy sitcome about a family of monsters. He played the father who's like a Frankenstein monster, the wife is a witch, a son and grandpa who's a vampire, and a normal daughter.
Close. Lily wasn't a witch, she was also a vampire like her father (Grandpa). Their son Eddie was a werewolf, and it was their niece Marilyn who was the normal one.
Oh, I haven't caught that yet, I have been watching Rizzoli and Isles where he plays Korsak and have been seeing him in a bunch of older movies lately, like The Last Boy Scout.
This was one of my dad’s favorite movies. There’s another Joe Pesci movie called the Super he really liked. But we’d always watch this when we’d come across it. I lost him last year to cancer but I could still him laughing to this movie and saying lines to me. His favorite was “I’m a fast cook I guess.” And “What about these pants I got on?”😂
If you never driven across the US, it's a great experience. You can meet different people and restaurants based on culture at the place. There would be free rest stops with restrooms. They are free with spaces for cars and large trucks. There would be markers on the side of the road telling how far the next rest stop would be. They're open 24 hours. This is to prevent accidents from tired drivers. I've driven from east to west coast twice without ever staying in a hotel or a motel for the night. It takes at least two days or one day non-stop.
About 25 years ago, my folks drove straight from Illinois to New Mexico in a little over 24 hours. They did diner food and rest stops while breaking up driving times. They said the best food was Texas and the friendliest people were Oklahoma.
@@lizrutherford2656 I did that once. It wasn't fun. It was in the winter. I was driving from California to Virginia and there was a snow storm. I wish I had to take the time to take pictures as I'm in photography. Texas and OK have good steak houses. I marinate my own now. A good t-bone steak with garlic powder and worchester sauce, punch holes in the steak with a fork, sit over night at room temperature, pan fry it, flip, use the flatula to feel the steak. If it bounces back, then it's medium rare. A very juicy steak.
I often watch reactions to this movie because it so funny that I laugh even before the lines are spoken. But you mad a comment which made me laugh even harder: "Say it! Don't Spray it!" still laughing.
Man, this movie is legendary. And Im not gonna lie, the character Mona Lisa Vito is literally the PERFECT lady. Smart, funny, beautiful, great accent, she actually cares and tries to help, AND she knows about cars? Say less! 🤣 Another great reaction to an awesome movie, keep up the great work brother! 😃🤘🇺🇸
One of my favorite movies! Some trivia for you: The movie was directed and sculpted by a fellow Brit, who did a fantastic job representing the South. The judge was played by the actor who portrayed Herman Munster in the classic TV series "The Munsters". It was his last role before he died. The original ending was much weaker - the case wasn't proved beyond a reasonable doubt and the boys were set free. The director insisted they needed a much more definitive conclusion and developed the strong ending we have now with all charges dropped. The Character of the mother he talked with on the phone was originally in the courtroom scenes, and was constantly having melodramatic heart failures over the situation. While the character was edited out for reasons of pacing, she can still be seen in the front row of the audience in many courtroom shots.
I find it interesting that the prosecutor dropped the charges. He knew the case was lost and didn't want a loss on his record, so by dropping the case, he didn't technically lose the case. He just ended it.
Some of what people are commenting on as the best parts being left out, I would agree, but some of the humor may not translate the same for Kabir. I find a lot of British comedies that I miss the humor in specific things people say, but get the overall humor.
As odd as this sounds, when real life attorneys are asked to name the one movie that is the most realistic when it come to how trials work and how the law works, they almost always cite this film.
Kabir, I'm at the start of this, and I have no doubt you're going to love this movie! It's hilarious! Also, there's a video on RUclips where a legitimate Lawyer goes over this movie, and that's worth a watch, too! 16:00 - Dude.... REALLY?! Do you honestly believe that size matters in a street fight? I've kicked the shit out of guys twice my size before. To quote an axiom, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
As an Italian from NYC, hearing a Brit doing the Italian NYC borough accent is something I never thought I needed lol 🙌🏻 Also, “imagine if they actually electrocute him? Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz” Lmao 🤣 love the dark humor Had to sub! 🤓
Brian Mulroney also failed his Bar exam more than once. The former Canadian PM had to rent a chalet near Ste-Adele Quebec in 1965 so he could concentrate fully on writing the Bar exam a third time, which he eventually passed. Since then, he became a K.C. and people call him ''a great lawyer''. LOL
@@annarae2396 It was Supporting Actress, important part is she won the Oscar she for which she was nominated..... I recognize the names of the other nominees from 1993, all Greats.......
There was one small mistake with her testimony. There were THREE cars made in the 1960s, not two, as Lisa says, that actually had independent rear suspension etc made by GM motors. The other was the Chevrolet Corvair. The writer actually knew this, but he left it out to save time thinking only one in a million hardcore car fans would ever actually know that. To be fair though, just like the Corvette, you were not going to mistake a Chevrolet Corvair for a Buick skylark or Pontiac tempest
No, Lisa (Marissa) qualified the statement by saying "...that had the power to leave those marks". The Corvair wouldn't "burn rubber" enough, if at all to leave such long tire marks. Both the Buick Skylark & the Pontiac Tempest with V8's had plenty of torque.
I live in Lower Alabama and everyone seems to wake up and go to work around 3 or 4 in the morning, drink and smoke at 2 in the afternoon, and go to sleep before 9 in the evening. They're all morning people for sure. Not me.
Part of that is, because Alabama is on the eastern edge of the Central time zone, so if the people in Alabama got up later in the morning, they'd be wasting daylight. I'm from Georgia which is on the western edge of the Eastern time zone. Growing up, I often visited my grandparents in Alabama & noticed people waking in the morning at 5 o'clock to get ready for work, where in Georgia, 7 o'clock was the usual wake up time. I didn't think about the relative positions of the states in their respective time zones, making Sunrise at an earlier local time in Alabama, until I was well into adulthood.
I love how you try so hard to perfect the southern Alabama accent. Many people do not realize that southern accents from different states are very different. I am from Kentucky, and most do not speak with a drawl. Georgia and North Carolina are worlds apart in their accents.
I grew up in California but much of my family is from Alabama. To me North Alabama and Southern Coastal Alabama people don’t sound exactly the same. Same with Mississippi and Louisiana North vs Coastal South. To me ears most Kentucky people I have heard sound “country” for lack of a better word.
I think the best part about this movie is that no bad guy (except the guy that reneged on a bet) ever appears on screen. Every charactor acts honorably.
You mention at 40:50 that the scenario was bizarre, because they were tried so quickly. Sadly, it's not that bizarre. There have been many court cases where people were tried and convicted on much less evidence than what they showed in the movie, only to later have evidence found that proves their innocence. There are many cases where ones have spent years, even decades, in prison for crimes that they didn't commit. These were later proven to have false, or even forced, confessions that led to the convictions. Those confessions have been the main basis for the convictions, since there wasn't enough evidence to convict them otherwise. A lot of those convictions have "eye-witness" support for the confessions. As you saw in the movie, eye-witnesses are notoriously proven to be wrong. Everything from different ages, hair colors, skin colors, and even the basic clothing that was being worn during commission of the crime, have been proven to be completely wrong from the ones who actually committed the crime. This is why the movie is lauded by professors teaching law as showing how erroneous eye-witness testimony can be, and that they should not be relied upon to gain a conviction.
Marissa Tomei won best supporting actress for the role. She is so good. She played Aunt May in the Spider Man movies. (I apologize if I gave a spoiler alert if you haven't seen them)!
@@karen6477 I know he was trying to get the video down to a certain length, but yes he did cut out a lot of her best parts, it was interesting that he cut out a lot of the most famous classic bits the yutes, the ticking clock, Vinny getting good sleep finally, and the voir dire.
Marisa Tomei won her Academy Award against some prestigious competition too, all of them excellent actresses and performances: Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Plowright, Judy Davis, Miranda Richardson.
I suggest if you come to America you don't go through Arkansas the interstate isn't complete throughout that state and you end up on dirt roads that go through little towns and they will pull you over with out-of-state or rental and I'm from America and originally from Iowa I was scared as hell going through
The movie was a lesson in the way New Yorkers speak English and the way Southern people speak English. The kid wasn't admitting he shot the clerk , he was amazed and was asking "I shot the clerk?" And things just get deeper and deeper. This was Fred Gwen's last movie and he was wonderful as the judge. He played in T.V. comedies, like Car 54 Where are you and The Munsters. he was a very tall man so they made him look like Frankenstien. Only he played a very sweet silly sort of Monster. But this movie let him show that he was a very smart man.
I've two movies you should react to if you never heard or seen, The Bodyguard starting Kevin Costner & Whitney Houston. The second movie The Wiz Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson as the scarecrow & Richard Pryor as the Wiz.
Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for her role in this. Thanks for a great reaction, I hadn't seen this movie in years.
From what I understand, the courtroom stuff is surprisingly accurate, so much so that law schools often recommend this film to their students.
It is Legal Eagel did a video on it and said this is also a favorite amongst in the lawyer community.
As a person who works in the legal field, I really like how this movie brings up discovery in the trial process. It's where many cases are won or lost. It isn't exactly glamorous, but it's very important.
Absolutely correct. We watched clips in Evidence class. It deals with discovery questions in a criminal case fairly well and addresses issues like qualifying experts and laying foundation. It also happens to be really damn funny
Which explains why lawyers and judges are no longer confused by what "the two eyoots" means.
@@ReymundoCortez Legal Eagle is an idiot, riduculed by a host of authentic trial lawyers.
"its called 'disclosure' ya' dickhead" is one of the greatest lines ive ever heard in my life to this day
The scene of Vinny questioning Lisa about the car is one of the funniest ever
I like when the prosecutor is asking her about the car more.
@@Deathbird_Mitch True. The entire sequence is hilarious. Marisa Tomei really stole the movie, LOL
@@Deathbird_Mitch the voir dire...
The 2 utes line is great

Fred Gwynne was also the tall cop on the 1950’s TV sitcom “Car 54, where are you?”
This was Gwynne's last film. He died the year after it came out.

@anthonyd507 At best it was prejudice against North Eastern-ers, not Italians specifically, and I'm not sure it even went that far.
@@anthonyd507 So, there is more than one group that sees racism in everything. Interesting.

Wow, two big scenes to miss!!! At least should have seen them in the editing.
I was waiting for the deer scene too. So hilarious.
When "Vinny" knocked over the chess pieces in the judge's office, it was an accident. And they left it in. Good move. Nice reaction to a great movie.
This movie is a classic! Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this role.
One of the best movies ever made.
You edited out my two favorite Marisa Tomei line , torque and my biological clock. So good LOL!
This movie is a classic. I still laugh out loud when I watch it. Yeah, my NYC accent most definitely sticks out when I go to the South.

Sigh. Yes, they have Chinese food in Alabama. Even in 1992. The south is different...but it's still America.
There was one small mistake with her testimony. There were THREE cars made in the 1960s, not two, as Lisa says, that actually had independent rear suspension etc made by GM motors. The other was the Chevrolet Corvair. The writer actually knew this, but he left it out to save time thinking only one in a million hardcore car fans would ever actually know that.
To be fair though, just like the Corvette, you were not going to mistake a Chevrolet Corvair for a Buick skylark or Pontiac tempest
No, Lisa (Marissa) qualified the statement by saying "...that had the power to leave those marks". The Corvair wouldn't "burn rubber" enough, if at all to leave such long tire marks. Both the Buick Skylark & the Pontiac Tempest with V8's had plenty of torque.
The boys are on school break.They are friends on a road trip.
I've watched this several times. Really good movie.
I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it way back!!!
Great movie
I live in Lower Alabama and everyone seems to wake up and go to work around 3 or 4 in the morning, drink and smoke at 2 in the afternoon, and go to sleep before 9 in the evening. They're all morning people for sure. Not me.
Part of that is, because Alabama is on the eastern edge of the Central time zone, so if the people in Alabama got up later in the morning, they'd be wasting daylight.
I'm from Georgia which is on the western edge of the Eastern time zone. Growing up, I often visited my grandparents in Alabama & noticed people waking in the morning at 5 o'clock to get ready for work, where in Georgia, 7 o'clock was the usual wake up time. I didn't think about the relative positions of the states in their respective time zones, making Sunrise at an earlier local time in Alabama, until I was well into adulthood.
@@sparky6086 The Florida panhandle is commonly called Lower Alabama as well.
They fit the description of the people who did kill the clerk
I love how you try so hard to perfect the southern Alabama accent. Many people do not realize that southern accents from different states are very different. I am from Kentucky, and most do not speak with a drawl. Georgia and North Carolina are worlds apart in their accents.
I grew up in California but much of my family is from Alabama. To me North Alabama and Southern Coastal Alabama people don’t sound exactly the same. Same with Mississippi and Louisiana North vs Coastal South. To me ears most Kentucky people I have heard sound “country” for lack of a better word.
Btw, the judge is the actor who played Herman Munster in the 60s version of Munsters. He also wrote two cheeck n toumge books on sayings. Illustrated.
I think the best part about this movie is that no bad guy (except the guy that reneged on a bet) ever appears on screen. Every charactor acts honorably.
You mention at 40:50 that the scenario was bizarre, because they were tried so quickly. Sadly, it's not that bizarre. There have been many court cases where people were tried and convicted on much less evidence than what they showed in the movie, only to later have evidence found that proves their innocence. There are many cases where ones have spent years, even decades, in prison for crimes that they didn't commit. These were later proven to have false, or even forced, confessions that led to the convictions. Those confessions have been the main basis for the convictions, since there wasn't enough evidence to convict them otherwise.
A lot of those convictions have "eye-witness" support for the confessions. As you saw in the movie, eye-witnesses are notoriously proven to be wrong. Everything from different ages, hair colors, skin colors, and even the basic clothing that was being worn during commission of the crime, have been proven to be completely wrong from the ones who actually committed the crime.
This is why the movie is lauded by professors teaching law as showing how erroneous eye-witness testimony can be, and that they should not be relied upon to gain a conviction.
The judge ... is Hermann Munster
Fred Gwynne
When the judge speaks, all I hear is Hermen Munster
Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for this role. Ralph Macchio was 31 when this film was made !!!
Marissa Tomei won best supporting actress for the role. She is so good. She played Aunt May in the Spider Man movies. (I apologize if I gave a spoiler alert if you haven't seen them)!
She was the best part of the movie & this guy practically edited her out of his reaction.
@@karen6477 I know he was trying to get the video down to a certain length, but yes he did cut out a lot of her best parts, it was interesting that he cut out a lot of the most famous classic bits the yutes, the ticking clock, Vinny getting good sleep finally, and the voir dire.
Marisa Tomei won her Academy Award against some prestigious competition too, all of them excellent actresses and performances: Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Plowright, Judy Davis, Miranda Richardson.
@@annarae2396 Exactly, I was looking forward to the "yute" scene, hilarious!

Ask any Lawyer what’s their favorite movie and they will most likely say, My Cousin Vinny.
I suggest if you come to America you don't go through Arkansas the interstate isn't complete throughout that state and you end up on dirt roads that go through little towns and they will pull you over with out-of-state or rental and I'm from America and originally from Iowa I was scared as hell going through
Why were there like 10 casings laying on the ground by the clerk but the witness testimony said that "they heard a SHOT"?
The movie was a lesson in the way New Yorkers speak English and the way Southern people speak English. The kid wasn't admitting he shot the clerk , he was amazed and was asking "I shot the clerk?" And things just get deeper and deeper. This was Fred Gwen's last movie and he was wonderful as the judge. He played in T.V. comedies, like Car 54 Where are you and The Munsters.
he was a very tall man so they made him look like Frankenstien. Only he played a very sweet silly sort of Monster. But this movie let him show that he was a very smart man.
Or it was a scriptwriting convenience. Just sayin'
I've two movies you should react to if you never heard or seen, The Bodyguard starting Kevin Costner & Whitney Houston. The second movie The Wiz Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson as the scarecrow & Richard Pryor as the Wiz.
♥️ Marisa Tomei for life ♥️
This film is an underrated gem.
