@@nicksouthwell9393 I kind of like that thinking. Especially when we never really find out if Coop was an alias or not. He could have been sort of reprising his role from the series as Bret Maverick Senior with Mel Gibson playing Bret Maverick Junior.
The Lethal Weapon franchise is also excellent as far as Mel Gibson movies go. (And that bank robbery joke with Danny Glover really only works if you've seen it.)
When Mel Gibson had his famous melt downs, Jodie Foster was one of the few entertainment folks to stand by him, even giving him work when Hollywood wouldn't touch him. She made it clear that she did not like what he had done and said, but that she would not abandon a friend in crisis.
Robert Downey Jr and Dean Devlin said the same thing. Unfortunately I don’t think he ever took proper responsibility for his actions and now views himself as a victim. I have no issues watching his stuff pre apocolypto, but I’m not watching anything he does now.

Between Maverick and Tombstone, I became obsessed with five card draw as a kid! You 100 percent should watch Tombstone if you're interested in more westerns!
My uncles taught a lot of the cousins, including me, how to play poker, blackjack, and a couple other games. Also taught us how the odds are always stacked in the house's favor.
Support Your Local Sheriff is another great light-hearted western comedy with a similar feel. Starring James Garner who you just saw as Coop in this movie.
All of these recommendations are from James Garner the early days (circa Maverick)...I will throw another log onto the fire...The Americanization of Emily...James Garner + Julie Andrews in an anti-war movie set in WW2. Early days enough that it is in Black and White.
One of the many hidden gems in this movie is that 'Pappy' was played by veteran Hollywood actor James Garner, who among his many accomplishments, played the original Bret Maverick in the old TV series _Maverick (1957-62)._
Ur only half right James Garner also Played Beauregard Maverick you guessed it AKA ( Pappy ) ( not to be confused with Beau Maverick , Roger Moore ). In one episode Bret & Bart (Jack Kelly ) come to town for Pappy's wedding. don't remember the details ,but the three had to leave town in haste with a posse close behind, an unknown gunman scares them away. We find out its Uncle Bentley played by you guessed it Jack Kelly. so in conclusion one maybe two of characters where in the movie played by the same actor's. Beauregard ( Pappy ) & Uncle Bentley . I thought I seen Jack Kelly In the background as one of the gamblers .and no his name isn't Bret Maverick Jr.
I forget sometimes how young she is but called her dad's movies old and corny realized she is still very young but still loves her authenticity and honesty of position. She has a very old soul sometimes and why so many subscribe and enjoy her and her sister.
The first guy you recognized was one of the baseball players in field of dreams and Danny Glover (the bank robber) and Mel Gibson are in Lethal Weapon together. That is what that little look of recognition is about and when Glover says "I am too old for this ...". That is his catch phrase from Lethal Weapon.
What also made this movie special was all of the cameos by classic western actors as well as musical artists (even Alice Cooper!) throughout the movie and especially during the tournament.
The old guy from the Notebook also played Brett Maverick in the original Maverick TV show. So, not only was it nice to see him in this movie, it was a great reveal that he was Brett's pappy that we had always heard about.
Since she's already watched a "new" western I wish she would watch an old one. I enjoy watching the reactors to see how they respond to movies I've seen (it's like getting to see it for the first time again through someone elses eyes) but the biggest complaint I have of basically all of them is they rarely do anything older than the 1980s and then it's just the usual (Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, It's A Wonderful Life, 12 Angry Men).
My dad loved the show, and when we saw this he was so annoyed Garner was playing a different character. When the reveal came he practically yelled I KNEW IT! He had convinced himself that Garner was, "his" Maverick and that Gibson was the son. That's not quite what it was but he went from trying to find fault in the movie to loving it. He had also been burned by the Mission Impossible movies twist and was really wary of adaptations.
My mom basically had the same reaction in the theater..I came out as a Donner fan from Lethal Weapon this was like 2 years after #3 I think... And she was like telling me.. "That's the REAL Maverick". It became her favorite modern Western.
"Quigley Down Under" is a good one too. A good mix of light hearted and some heavy stuff. It's difficult to pick that "one" good western. Everyone has their own favorite, I can't help but have my own top ten or fifteen depending on my mood! Haha!
The old TV series this was based on seems to be largely forgotten which is a shame. It was some of the best TV of all time, with some of the craftiest writing and scenarios and spoofs. One episode landed Brett right in the middle of a spot-on parody of Gunsmoke (the legit western GOAT of TV and radio). Brett quoted his pappy a lot in the old show too. Bringing Garner on board to play pappy for real, mind blown.
Not quite sure Garner isn't playing the same character as before, which would make Gibson's character Brett Jr. Were Gibson the original Brett, I'd think Jodie Foster's character would be named Samantha.
Danny Glover says "I'm gettin' too old for this sh*t" in this move, and reprises the line in another Mel Gibson movie that you have recently watched (I think) called Lethal Weapon. I love it when movies make call-backs!
When my family and I first saw this movie we burst out in laughter when Danny Glover showed up because my parents LOVE Lethal Weapon (I only like the 3rd movie). It's one of the reasons why I started loving meta humor.
This was such a great movie. and the HUGE Cast & Cameos in it. James Garner (the original Maverick in the 60's tv series) Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon partner to Mel G.) - the quick music piece & 'recognition of each other' was from LW & totally cracked me up first time I saw the movie.. James Coburn (Commodore - also was in original tv maverick series) Dan Hedeya (Good old 'Cheers' TV as Carla's husband and was on Kojak tv series when Richard Donner directed it in the 70's) Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazard tv & was in Maverick tv series) Clint Black, Hal Kethcum, Waylon Jennings, Kathy Matea, Carlene Carter, Reba McEntire.. (All Country superstar singers) Margot Kidder - (Lois Lane from Superman movies worked with Richard Donner previously) Richard Donner & his wife Lauren (Directors of Superman movies & Lethal weapon movies) Alfred Molina (Angel ...was in 1985 Movie Ladyhawke - directed by Richard Donner) The list just kept going on and on.. it was nice to see because somehow, all these people worked with each other in some previous manner.. either music, directing, acting, or producing, etc.. and the easiest way to describe it all put together.... it was just a fun & entertaining movie.
I bet Richard Donner just called Danny Glover up and said "Hey, we need you for half a day" after having a last minute idea. I love the little Lethal Weapon blues lick that plays when they recognise each other.
This movie is so freaking underrated among reactors, it is so much fun! Thanks for the wonderful reaction, it was really fun watching you get so into it :)
A lot of the actors in this film appeared in Western movies and (especially at the end) most of them appeared in classic Western television shows in the 1950's through the 1970's. Sadly a large number of them have passed away since the movie was made over 25 years ago. I'm pretty old...it's a shame so many of my boyhood heroes have departed...but they were great in their time.
Westerns are a genre the way Noir or CBMs are, more like a narrow subgenre based on a setting, topic or tone, but which gains enough popularity that it becomes its own genre. The avengers is a adventure film, bit it's also a sci-fi, action, comedy, but because of the impact of the MCU saying its a CBM is often sufficient. Similarly westerns are thrillers, comedy, drama, action movies, biopic, war movies, sometimes even sci-fi, but they're all still western.
In a tongue in cheek cameo appearance, James Garner, Maverick, from the TV series Maverick was the character Marshall Zane Cooper, the guy with dark curly hair at the stagecoach that told Mel's "Maverick" to take his hands off the lady.
I wouldn't watch "Unforgiven" before watching "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" or "Outlaw Josey Wales". "Unforgiven" is Clint Eastwood's last western and should be watched last IMHO.
It may have leaned into the comedy.. But this feels like a fun but sincere love letter from a director that began his career there. Very episodic shows like Wagon Train, or even Maverick. They weren't all people just being shot. So this was a fair representation for the less hard edged TV westerns of early TV.. unlike the more serious ones the came a bit later.
The great James Garner, Zane "Coop" Cooper was the original Maverick on the T.V. show 1957- 1962, which had a lot of the same feel of the movie, with humor, light heartedness and narration with the line, "my ole pappy used to say."
A hilarious "western" has always been Blazing Saddles. One of the best Mel Brooks works out there. Also, Three amigos. Also, this reminded me, you should also watch Lethal Weapon. It explains the bank robbery scene better.
Great movie. And Graham Greene (the native friend) is such an under-rated actor. He is great in this. He was amazing in Dances with Wolves. And he was really good in one of the later Die Hard movies.
James Garner was the original T.V. Maverick that's why they cast him as Maverick, Sr. I agree that "Tombstone" is one of the best westerns but THE best has to be "The Searchers" with John Wayne & Natalie Woods!
Ford's The Searchers is best American Western from the Studio Era. The best Western overall all-time is Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West". But both are definately cinematic Masterpieces with a capital M.
There are a lot of good ones: Rooster Cogburn, True Grit (old or new), The Big Country, Yellow Sky, High Plains Drifter, Hang ‘Em High, and Once Upon a Time in the West all come to mind from memory…
Who else heard Cass say, "F*cked up here umbrella!"??? I wasn't looking at the screen right when she said that and could have sworn that it was just she had said 😆🤣. I had to skip back to actually check 😂 I'm in love with her! ❤😂
Cassie, since you're not a naturally inclined westerns fan , I'd recommend one of the greatest classic westerns "Rio Bravo" . It's not heavy like some of the great "spaghetti westerns". A lot of the "modern westerns" are for the birds. "Unforgiven" is a good one. "Open Range" with Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner is also good.
The absolute best movie like this (con men running a long con) is The Sting with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Won the Oscar for best movie and has a song that became viral before the internet was a thing.
Maverick was a popular Western on TV in the 50’s/60’s. The actor playing Papa Maverick James Garner, played the original Maverick in the TV show. Great show and great movie.
The tournament scene featured a bunch of cameos by 90's country singers, many of whom contributed songs to the soundtrack. The tune that actually played over the game was Clint Black's "A Good Run Of Bad Luck".
"Cat Ballou" with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda is a great comedy western. "The Rounders" with Hank Fonda is pretty good, also a comedy. The best and most realistic western ever is "Lonesome Dove," the six-part miniseries with Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall. "The Homesman" with Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary Swank is good, although very dark. There were, and still are a lot of very cheesy westerns made so don't apologize, most of them are dreck. Same goes for most "country/western" music. I've considerable experience with both the country and the West and the music isn't about either one of them.
"The Rounders," wow, that was a deep, but very good pull. Lonesome Dove is tremendous, but probably best left until she gets more comfortable with westerns.
The two westerns that have always stuck with me are "Tombstone", and "The Quick and the Dead". The ladder of the two because it was a nice change to see a female gunslinger as the main character
As a 90's kid, I couldn't agree more. It was cool to see the 90's produce some of the coolest westerns considering all the great westerns of the 50s, 60's, and early 70's. Tombstone stands out to me though because of Val Kilmer's great performance of Doc Holliday. Could rewatch that one over and over again. And yes, it was REALLY cool to see a female gunslinger in The Quick and the Dead. Maybe the first movie to show that women could be as bad ass as men, especially in the old west when that would've been unthinkable. Great performance by one of my favorite actors in Gene Hackman, young DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, and of course, Sharon Stone
That moment in the beginning, when Danny Glover is robbing the bank, and Maverick pulls his mask down, they were in The Lethal Weapon series together. The music that plays at that moment is from that series. He even says” I’m getting too old for this sh*t” which is a recurring line from the series. I’m guessing the same company/director/music production company, or something like that, did both movies ☺️ Just a little movie trivia from a movie nerd 😁 Also, in case no one says, this was a tv show back in the day. The guy who plays Mavericks dad played Maverick back in the show
As I read through all the comments, I see the usual Western titles being recommended (TOMBSTONE, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, SILVERADO, etc). All of them worth seeing, but there's one in particular that is absent and I feel like should at least get a mention: HIGH NOON. One of the greatest westerns ever made, one of my personal favorites (in my top three) and one that I could see you really getting into. Hopefully that one will get included in a future poll.
Costner & Westerns? "Open Range" with Duvall. And while it gets overshadowed by the lighter "Tombstone", I personally find Costner's epic "Wyatt Earp" to be a stronger film.
Love your reaction. Honorable mention are For A Few Dolllar More, 3:10 To Yuma (2006), Tombstone, Dances with Wolves, and Wyatt Earp (1994) Here are my top 5 westerns of all time. 1) The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly 2) The Magnificent Seven (OG) 3) Open Range 4) Silverado 5) Maverick
This movie and Tombstone are good. I would hold off on Unforgiven until you've seen more westerns, as it is largely a commentary on the genre. Try a spaghetti western or two.
Eastwood mentioned that he sees Unforgiven as the same man from "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" but further down the line in time. It's definitely a great for a reason.
I’m so happy you got to watch this movie! It’s probably the best adaptation of a TV series in movie form. This movie is based on the TV show “Maverick” which starred James Garner in the title role. James also played Brett’s father in this movie which sequentially makes perfect sense, but because he appeared as another character in the beginning the audience believed he was just making an appearance in the film. It’s he best gotcha moment in film. It’s a fun film directed by Richard Donner who also directed Mel Gibson and Danny Glover (the black bank robber) in the Lethal Weapon films. In fact Danny repeats a line he made famous in the Lethal Weapon movies as he exits the bank when he says, “I’m getting too old for this shit.”
Fun little fact the lady at the end at the bath house is actually Richard Donner's wife when James Garner says yes Mrs d he was actually referring to her as Mrs Donner. Also if you want to really cool thing there is a music video of the ending song of amazing Grace performed by the Mavericks choir and it is absolutely fantastic to listen to
I loved watching this in the cinema back in 1994 on my 18th birthday. Jodie Foster looked stunning in the old timey dresses 👗. James Garner (the father of Mel Gibson’s Maverick had played the original Maverick in the TV series of the same name) He had starred in the Rockford Files TV series and was in the movie “The Great Escape”.
Thank you for watching this film. It is a great Western while simultaneously being a deconstruction of a Western. The posters before me have pointed out the importance of all the actors and how they were cast, so I'll leave it at that. My fond memory of _Maverick_ was watching it with my mom. She was a fan of Westerns and of Mel Gibson. Your review brought a warm glow to my heart. Miss you, Mom.
One interesting tidbit: most of the gamblers in the Riverboat Tournament were actors and actresses recreating their roles from 1950s and 60s TV westerns.
Fun fact: James Garner (Cooper) played the original character of Brett Maverick back in the day in the original Maverick western films. His inclusion in this movie was not only a great shout out to the audience in recognition of the original source material (and the original actor who contributed in making the character such a legend), but making him Maverick's father was too cool. No one complained. Also: $500,000.00 in 1885 is the equivalent to over $14,000,000.00 dollars today. and, because nobody asked for it: The fun behind the significance of the bank robber reveal and the line, "I'm getting too old for this sh*t." was because the bank robber was played by Danny Glover who played Sgt Roger Murtough in the Lethal Weapon movies with Mel Gibson (Martin Riggs). The two had already done the first three films by this point and it was a form of fourth wall break that had a moderate trend during the mid 90's (most notably in Pauly Shore movies featuring Brandon Fraser, granted).
I like 'Maverick'. It is very well done and funny movie. Fantastic dialogue and characters. Mel Gibson is great and Jodie Foster is wonderful and beautiful. The story of the movie flows forward really well. :)
maverick is always a fun watch. a few of my fav westerns are Silverado, Tombstone, Rio Bravo, The Magnificent Seven, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and The Man from Snowy River
The Cowboys with John Wayne is a great western in my opinion, The Shootist and The Searchers are another great ones with John Wayne and Shendoah with Jimmy Stewart
For another Mel Gibson movie, you need to watch "Lethal Weapon"! It's one of his most iconic roles and I think you'll enjoy it. (And for the record, "Dances with Wolves" is considered a Western so, this is actually not the first Western you've seen on this channel! 😉) For other Westerns you might like, you have to watch "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"!!! No question. You'll like it, I promise. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are so funny and charming, you can't not. And "The Magnificent Seven" is another classic Western that I always enjoyed (Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen... just too much cool for one movie 😆).
Once upon a time there was a television series called "Maverick" starring James Garner and Jack Kelly as brothers Brett and Bart Maverick and Roger Moore as their English cousin Beau. They had their own separate episodes.
I don't think she will. I don't know that she will absolutely love it or have as much fun in it as she would in this movie, but I think she will appreciate it: she'll get emotionally involved in the story and after all is said and done I suspect find it a very meaningful experience (as she did with SCHINDLER'S LIST and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN). Anyway, we'll see.
Lots of great guests in this. Most of the people on the boat were either Country music singers or actors from old TV westerns. Coop was played by James Garner who starred in the TV series Maverick. He also starred in an updated version as an older version of Maverick some years later. Garner made a lot of movies and had a very successful TV show besides Maverick called The Rockford Files where he played a private detective. He also was part of an incredible ensamble cast in a movie called The Great Escape, about allied prisoners in a german prison of war camp. Outstanding film. Oh and of course, Taylor Swift is to country music what Justin Bieber is to opera. Never the less, loving you and your Sis more and more with each video. Keep having fun with it.
Yay! This is such a fun film, and I had a great time watching your reaction. As a Native Am, Graham Greene's scene is absolutely hilarious. I lose it every time during that part of the movie. "Get a hold of yourself man! *slap* everyone's looking!" XD My dad is also one of those dad's that will sit around watching old westerns. This was one of the first ones as a kid I could sit and watch with him cause it was so funny. We had the biggest grins on our faces when the reveal came at the end because we both kind of knew that's where it was going. Also, we both had a laugh when the older man got caught cheating, "Uncle Jesse NO!" LOL Thanks for the reaction and have fun watching even more films!
Greene was my favorite part of the movie. The fake Indian shtick and being hired out to entertain a Duke. The hamming it up at the wagon train. It was like a mashup of old Maverick with FTroop.
Jodie Foster at her most beautiful 😍 I love her fluctuating accent and the constant one-upmanship between her and Maverick. And when Maverick pulls the Queen of Hearts while thinking about her is such a great moment 🥰 The humor in Maverick is top notch, and Mel Gibson's anxious babbling will never not be funny to me.
I am so glad this won. It's one of my favorites. Fun tidbit the bank robber and Mel Gibson were in "Lethal Weapon" together and them acting like they might recognize each other was a reference to that (also, what the bank robber said outside the bank is something his "Lethal Weapon" character said). From what you said about the things you liked and didn't about westerns, I really hope you have "McClintock" on your list for Patreon voters.
I think you'd really like The Big Country from 1956 with Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Charles Bickford, Jean Simmons and Carol Baker. A Shakespearian, western, romance with a fantastic sound track by Jerome Moross. Enjoy the ranch breakfast and one of the "best" fist fights in Cinema history. The ultimate question, what is a real man?
So many great Cameos in this movie, Noah Wylie of ER was in the game (the first cheater) Denver Pyle of the original Dukes Of Hazzard (the second cheater) Robert Fuller of Emergency was in the game, Dean Stockwell as well, Many more already mentioned.
The actor who you spotted at the poker table early in the film and said "hey, I know him! Where do I know him from?" was character actor Art LaFleur, who played a number of small roles over the years (including FIELD OF DREAMS), but who's probably best known for playing the ghost of Babe Ruth in THE SANDLOT. Sadly, Art LaFleur passed away just this past November at age 78.

Yup, I was wondering if someone else noticed the reference. 😅
Both Maverick & the Lethal Weapon film series were directed by the late great Richard Donner - hence Danny Glover’s cameo lol
And the musical cue was also from Lethal Weapon
And of course ‘Coop’, is played by James Garner, the original Maverick.
Grew up on the original Maverick. So much fun.
Absolutely loved that James Garner was in it, and towards the end when you find out that he's Mavericks dad, freaking gold.

Tombstone is the best western ever. Highly recommended
And Jeremiah Johnson!
It's been a while, but I thought they played faro in tombstone.....
My uncles taught a lot of the cousins, including me, how to play poker, blackjack, and a couple other games. Also taught us how the odds are always stacked in the house's favor.
If she doesn't end up doing Tombstone at some point I'll be sooo disappointed

Support Your Local Gunfighter as well.
I also recommend The Great Escape, though set in WWII.
@@CaptainFrost32 Yes! The Great Escape is one of my favorites. Hell of a cast too.

Coburn directed many Rockford Files episodes.

I'm 57 and remember watching the original Maverick TV show with my dad. So seeing the original James Garner along with Mel Gibson was the icing on top
You must watch Tombstone. By far the best “new” western. Great cast, amazing performances, great villains. And based on true stories. It’s phenomenal.
Since she's already watched a "new" western I wish she would watch an old one. I enjoy watching the reactors to see how they respond to movies I've seen (it's like getting to see it for the first time again through someone elses eyes) but the biggest complaint I have of basically all of them is they rarely do anything older than the 1980s and then it's just the usual (Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, It's A Wonderful Life, 12 Angry Men).
The real bitch of it is Tombstone is almost 30 years old… We’re all getting old 😂
And while it's great, it's not on the level of Unforgiven.
@@theycallmedutch475 That "New Western" is quite misleading.
I’d recommend an old western. Like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Also, not a popular opinion, but I think Tombstone is highly overrated.
Such a great flick, and one that I feel has been largely forgotten. Been wondering when reactors would find it, and I'm so glad that you did!
agree and hopefully now that one reactor has, others will follow
My dad loved the show, and when we saw this he was so annoyed Garner was playing a different character. When the reveal came he practically yelled I KNEW IT! He had convinced himself that Garner was, "his" Maverick and that Gibson was the son. That's not quite what it was but he went from trying to find fault in the movie to loving it.
He had also been burned by the Mission Impossible movies twist and was really wary of adaptations.
My mom basically had the same reaction in the theater..I came out as a Donner fan from Lethal Weapon this was like 2 years after #3 I think... And she was like telling me.. "That's the REAL Maverick". It became her favorite modern Western.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the early script idea.
What mission impossible twist? He didn't like the movie was all about Ethan Hunt and not the team?
@@AlexG1020 I think it should be Jim Phelps.
@@AlexG1020 the Phelps thing. Like Garner in Maverick, Jim Phelps was Mission Impossible so that twist ticked him off.
My grandmother was a huge Mel Gibson fan, grew up watching this movie and it is definitely a favorite. Loved your reaction!
"The Quick and the Dead" is another quality western you might enjoy. Plenty of famous faces and some amazing performances (especially Gene Hackman)
I believe you might also enjoy a western called "Silverado", it features a very young Kevin Costner and Jeff Goldblum among others- it's pretty good.
Amazing choice! Good light hearted fun action movie. Perfect for this channel. And also lots of amazing actors.
I second this movie. A very young Kevin Costner
Fantastic cast and a lot of fun
And Danny Glover again!
"Quigley Down Under" is a good one too. A good mix of light hearted and some heavy stuff. It's difficult to pick that "one" good western. Everyone has their own favorite, I can't help but have my own top ten or fifteen depending on my mood! Haha!
Second this recommendation. Tom Selleck & Alan Rickman are brilliant in this one.
Great movie.
I can also recommend "Silverado". I think i have never seen one react to it. Classic 80s Western.
Always felt like there should of been more movies.
Agreed! And the fantastic music in that movie!
The old TV series this was based on seems to be largely forgotten which is a shame. It was some of the best TV of all time, with some of the craftiest writing and scenarios and spoofs.
One episode landed Brett right in the middle of a spot-on parody of Gunsmoke (the legit western GOAT of TV and radio).
Brett quoted his pappy a lot in the old show too. Bringing Garner on board to play pappy for real, mind blown.
Not quite sure Garner isn't playing the same character as before, which would make Gibson's character Brett Jr. Were Gibson the original Brett, I'd think Jodie Foster's character would be named Samantha.
Plus there were all the Maverick brothers, cousins, etc. with names also beginning with B. Bart, Beau, Ben...
So long as the movie is either set in the old timey Wild West period, and/or has classic western movie themes and/or a western vibe, it’s a western.
One of the All Time greats for me. Loved "Uncle Jesse" getting thrown overboard the first time i saw this.
Mel and Jodie and James had such great chemistry, and the writing was so good. I loved this movie and enjoyed seeing it again here
Danny Glover says "I'm gettin' too old for this sh*t" in this move, and reprises the line in another Mel Gibson movie that you have recently watched (I think) called Lethal Weapon. I love it when movies make call-backs!
And Danny Glover is the lead hero in Predator 2 which Cassie needs to watch to get some of her questions answered 😉
I wonder if she watched Lethal Weapon
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Yeah I noticed how that one seemed to get by her too.
I love it when Mel Gibson pulls down Danny Glover's bandana and they look at each other like they recognize each other. Lol
When my family and I first saw this movie we burst out in laughter when Danny Glover showed up because my parents LOVE Lethal Weapon (I only like the 3rd movie). It's one of the reasons why I started loving meta humor.
This was such a great movie. and the HUGE Cast & Cameos in it.
James Garner (the original Maverick in the 60's tv series)
Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon partner to Mel G.) - the quick music piece & 'recognition of each other' was from LW & totally cracked me up first time I saw the movie..
James Coburn (Commodore - also was in original tv maverick series)
Dan Hedeya (Good old 'Cheers' TV as Carla's husband and was on Kojak tv series when Richard Donner directed it in the 70's)
Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazard tv & was in Maverick tv series)
Clint Black, Hal Kethcum, Waylon Jennings, Kathy Matea, Carlene Carter, Reba McEntire.. (All Country superstar singers)
Margot Kidder - (Lois Lane from Superman movies worked with Richard Donner previously)
Richard Donner & his wife Lauren (Directors of Superman movies & Lethal weapon movies)
Alfred Molina (Angel ...was in 1985 Movie Ladyhawke - directed by Richard Donner)
The list just kept going on and on.. it was nice to see because somehow, all these people worked with each other in some previous manner.. either music, directing, acting, or producing, etc..
and the easiest way to describe it all put together.... it was just a fun & entertaining movie.
Don’t forget Leo Gordon who had a recurring role in the first two series of the original Maverick series in the 50’s as Big Mike McComb.
I bet Richard Donner just called Danny Glover up and said "Hey, we need you for half a day" after having a last minute idea. I love the little Lethal Weapon blues lick that plays when they recognise each other.
This movie is so freaking underrated among reactors, it is so much fun! Thanks for the wonderful reaction, it was really fun watching you get so into it :)
A lot of the actors in this film appeared in Western movies and (especially at the end) most of them appeared in classic Western television shows in the 1950's through the 1970's. Sadly a large number of them have passed away since the movie was made over 25 years ago. I'm pretty old...it's a shame so many of my boyhood heroes have departed...but they were great in their time.
I'm cairly long in the tooth as well. I grew up watching many of the actors in this film back in their heyday.
A “Western” isn’t always a genre, it can be a setting for a comedy, action, drama, romance, or sci-if movie.
@@Caseytify Or the Mandalorian
Westerns are a genre the way Noir or CBMs are, more like a narrow subgenre based on a setting, topic or tone, but which gains enough popularity that it becomes its own genre.
The avengers is a adventure film, bit it's also a sci-fi, action, comedy, but because of the impact of the MCU saying its a CBM is often sufficient.
Similarly westerns are thrillers, comedy, drama, action movies, biopic, war movies, sometimes even sci-fi, but they're all still western.
Such as Star Wars.
_Star Trek_ was pitched to the networks by Gene Roddenberry as _"Wagon Train_ to the stars."
May be worth watching Magnificent 7 (2016) that is pretty good.
Lonesome Dove is the best Western of All time. Romance, comedy, adventure, tears, fun, beautiful scenery. It has it all.
also featuring Danny Glover! Superb story partly based on true events.
Hard to argue but How the West was Won deserves an honorable mention, I think.
Better than Django
In a tongue in cheek cameo appearance, James Garner, Maverick, from the TV series Maverick was the character Marshall Zane Cooper, the guy with dark curly hair at the stagecoach that told Mel's "Maverick" to take his hands off the lady.
BTW, Coop played Maverick in the original television show from '57-'62. There were also people from the reboot in 1978 in the poker tournament.
I really think you would love the movie Tombstone. Starring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott and a host of other great actors.
Yes please!
Tombstone is awesome
So many people would love to hear Cassie say, “I’ll be your huckleberry.” 😄
Yes now that's a real western
Tombstone is a good choice aa would Young Guns.
Maverick was ATV series starring James Garner. There was a comedy element to it. Mel Gibson's movie here really lends to that comedy element.
Garner
@@samson9535 Thanks for the correction
@@samson9535
It's what happens when you speak the comments and fail to proofread. 😒
So many of the old TV stars in one movie. Love seeing Doug McClure.
Yess this is my favorite western comedy. Such a fun movie with a great cast. 🙌
I wouldn't watch "Unforgiven" before watching "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" or "Outlaw Josey Wales". "Unforgiven" is Clint Eastwood's last western and should be watched last IMHO.
I've been suggesting Clint Eastwood to her for ages! Lol
I agree. UNFORGIVEN is the movie that really made me a western fan in the first place.
I back you guys on "The Good The Bad and The Ugly". It's a must for Cassie. Also the original Magnificent Seven for the music score alone.
Yeah you won't get the right feels with unforgiven unless you went through all the spaghetti clint eastwood movies.
I don't think she'd like the speghetti westerns. Too long and dry. I think she'd appreciate them more after she watched Unforgiven or Pale Rider etc.
It may have leaned into the comedy.. But this feels like a fun but sincere love letter from a director that began his career there. Very episodic shows like Wagon Train, or even Maverick. They weren't all people just being shot. So this was a fair representation for the less hard edged TV westerns of early TV.. unlike the more serious ones the came a bit later.
James Gardner was the original Maverick. It very much is a tribute. :)
Can we just give props to the PiB title cards matching the movie title cards? Always an amazing start to each reaction!
The bank robber was also in the Lethal Weapon movies with him, that's why they gave a "I know you don't I" look
"Do you know why I'm wearing denim today??"
"Cause you're from Canada?"
Silverado and Tombstone may be the greatest westerns made. Neither is anything like country music.
My mom loves Tombstone... Val...yum
@AB you must be joking. Having grown up with the TV show and specials I consider the film to be junk. I understand I’m one of few that feels this way.
The great James Garner, Zane "Coop" Cooper was the original Maverick on the T.V. show 1957- 1962, which had a lot of the same feel of the movie, with humor, light heartedness and narration with the line, "my ole pappy used to say."
My favorite James Garner wester is Support Your Local Sheriff.
Well it's basically a remake of the originals series.
A hilarious "western" has always been Blazing Saddles. One of the best Mel Brooks works out there. Also, Three amigos. Also, this reminded me, you should also watch Lethal Weapon. It explains the bank robbery scene better.
Great movie. And Graham Greene (the native friend) is such an under-rated actor. He is great in this. He was amazing in Dances with Wolves. And he was really good in one of the later Die Hard movies.
Great Indian actor
He was one of the cops in “Die Hard With a Vengeance” (3rd Die Hard movie).
He was good as the native policeman in the movie "Thunder Heart."
High Noon, 3:10 to Yuma, Open Range. The Western genre is filled with superb films.
She needs to see Shane, High Noon, and John Wayne in The Searchers.
Little cameo by Lois Lane herself, Margot Kidder. And a nice turn by Graham Greene from Dances with Wolves.
Plus several country and western stars as poker players and uncle Jessie himself from Dukes of Hazzard..
The Outlaw Josey Wales is a fantastic western to try.
James Garner was the original T.V. Maverick that's why they cast him as Maverick, Sr. I agree that "Tombstone" is one of the best westerns but THE best has to be "The Searchers" with John Wayne & Natalie Woods!
I'll still vote "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" with "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" a close second.
The Magnificent Seven, by far is the best western. My opinion. I just don't get people's infatuation with Tombstone...?
Ford's The Searchers is best American Western from the Studio Era. The best Western overall all-time is Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West". But both are definately cinematic Masterpieces with a capital M.
I have to go with High Noon myself. Gary Cooper was brilliant
There are a lot of good ones: Rooster Cogburn, True Grit (old or new), The Big Country, Yellow Sky, High Plains Drifter, Hang ‘Em High, and Once Upon a Time in the West all come to mind from memory…
"I want to know what she really sounds like. "
In the original script, Annabelle is originally from Boston and has a thick "Bah-stin" accent.
Who else heard Cass say, "F*cked up here umbrella!"??? I wasn't looking at the screen right when she said that and could have sworn that it was just she had said 😆🤣. I had to skip back to actually check 😂 I'm in love with her! ❤😂
Cassie, since you're not a naturally inclined westerns fan , I'd recommend one of the greatest classic westerns "Rio Bravo" . It's not heavy like some of the great "spaghetti westerns". A lot of the "modern westerns" are for the birds. "Unforgiven" is a good one. "Open Range" with Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner is also good.
Rio Bravo is very good indeed 👍🏾
Love Rio Bravo!
Broken Trail is also great.
Silverado is my favorite western. Just an amazing cast and a mixture of drama and comedy.
The absolute best movie like this (con men running a long con) is The Sting with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Won the Oscar for best movie and has a song that became viral before the internet was a thing.
Brilliant movie. I wish people would react to it. And a beautiful soundtrack.
Maverick was a popular Western on TV in the 50’s/60’s. The actor playing Papa Maverick James Garner, played the original Maverick in the TV show. Great show and great movie.
The tournament scene featured a bunch of cameos by 90's country singers, many of whom contributed songs to the soundtrack. The tune that actually played over the game was Clint Black's "A Good Run Of Bad Luck".
"Cat Ballou" with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda is a great comedy western. "The Rounders" with Hank Fonda is pretty good, also a comedy. The best and most realistic western ever is "Lonesome Dove," the six-part miniseries with Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall. "The Homesman" with Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary Swank is good, although very dark.
There were, and still are a lot of very cheesy westerns made so don't apologize, most of them are dreck.
Same goes for most "country/western" music. I've considerable experience with both the country and the West and the music isn't about either one of them.
"The Rounders," wow, that was a deep, but very good pull. Lonesome Dove is tremendous, but probably best left until she gets more comfortable with westerns.
The two westerns that have always stuck with me are "Tombstone", and "The Quick and the Dead". The ladder of the two because it was a nice change to see a female gunslinger as the main character
Yes! The Quick And The Dead was seriously underrated! So much better than the other female led western Bad Girls.
I was surprised that this won over Tombstone. It didn't even come in second place! Silverado is another good one.
@@marthapackard8649 As Cassie said it must have been the Silent Majority turning out to in numbers to vote.
" The Quick and the Dead " is also one of my favourite Western Movies. I like the characters of Sharon Stone, Leo DiCaprio and Gene Hackman.
As a 90's kid, I couldn't agree more. It was cool to see the 90's produce some of the coolest westerns considering all the great westerns of the 50s, 60's, and early 70's. Tombstone stands out to me though because of Val Kilmer's great performance of Doc Holliday. Could rewatch that one over and over again. And yes, it was REALLY cool to see a female gunslinger in The Quick and the Dead. Maybe the first movie to show that women could be as bad ass as men, especially in the old west when that would've been unthinkable. Great performance by one of my favorite actors in Gene Hackman, young DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, and of course, Sharon Stone
Nearly everyone on the riverboat had starred in a western earlier in their careers. IMO, Silverado. A brilliant western.
Yes the riverboat scene had a lot of old classic western stars, and country music legend Clint Black.
The Danny Glover cameo in this and the Lethal Weapon reference remains one of my fave movie moments ever - it was pure genius! Love this film.
I always laugh at the "Lethal Weapon" moment in the bank during the robbery. 😂
That moment in the beginning, when Danny Glover is robbing the bank, and Maverick pulls his mask down, they were in The Lethal Weapon series together. The music that plays at that moment is from that series. He even says” I’m getting too old for this sh*t” which is a recurring line from the series. I’m guessing the same company/director/music production company, or something like that, did both movies ☺️ Just a little movie trivia from a movie nerd 😁 Also, in case no one says, this was a tv show back in the day. The guy who plays Mavericks dad played Maverick back in the show
Richard Donner directed every Lethal Weapon movie and Maverick.
@@doghousereilly3795 i figured it was something like that ☺️
@@Bear78420 Donner also directed another Mel Gibson movie from 1997 called Conspiracy Theory.
As I read through all the comments, I see the usual Western titles being recommended (TOMBSTONE, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, SILVERADO, etc). All of them worth seeing, but there's one in particular that is absent and I feel like should at least get a mention: HIGH NOON. One of the greatest westerns ever made, one of my personal favorites (in my top three) and one that I could see you really getting into. Hopefully that one will get included in a future poll.
Since you like Kevin Costner, you might want to check out the Western "Silverado," one of his very early roles. 😊
My favorite western.
Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves, 3 Days To Kill. Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit. Tin Cup all fantastic Kevin Costner films
Silverado is an underrated and often forgotten gem.
Costner & Westerns? "Open Range" with Duvall. And while it gets overshadowed by the lighter "Tombstone", I personally find Costner's epic "Wyatt Earp" to be a stronger film.
@@Joe-hh8gd I find it's more historically accurate than Tombstone also.
Love your reaction.
Honorable mention are For A Few Dolllar More, 3:10 To Yuma (2006), Tombstone, Dances with Wolves, and Wyatt Earp (1994)
Here are my top 5 westerns of all time.
1) The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
2) The Magnificent Seven (OG)
3) Open Range
4) Silverado
5) Maverick
The Original Maverick TV Series ran from 1957 to 1962 and starred James Garner as Brett Maverick, James played "Coop" in this movie.
This movie and Tombstone are good. I would hold off on Unforgiven until you've seen more westerns, as it is largely a commentary on the genre. Try a spaghetti western or two.
Eastwood mentioned that he sees Unforgiven as the same man from "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" but further down the line in time. It's definitely a great for a reason.
Agreed. It is the kind of western that she dislikes. There are quite a few that she probably will enjoy. Let her ease into into it, lol.
YES, Good to see this video reupload! RIP, Richard Donner and James Garner. Without them, this film would never had been made.
I’m so happy you got to watch this movie! It’s probably the best adaptation of a TV series in movie form. This movie is based on the TV show “Maverick” which starred James Garner in the title role. James also played Brett’s father in this movie which sequentially makes perfect sense, but because he appeared as another character in the beginning the audience believed he was just making an appearance in the film. It’s he best gotcha moment in film. It’s a fun film directed by Richard Donner who also directed Mel Gibson and Danny Glover (the black bank robber) in the Lethal Weapon films. In fact Danny repeats a line he made famous in the Lethal Weapon movies as he exits the bank when he says, “I’m getting too old for this shit.”
Not to mention the musical cues in the bank.
Fun little fact the lady at the end at the bath house is actually Richard Donner's wife when James Garner says yes Mrs d he was actually referring to her as Mrs Donner. Also if you want to really cool thing there is a music video of the ending song of amazing Grace performed by the Mavericks choir and it is absolutely fantastic to listen to
I loved watching this in the cinema back in 1994 on my 18th birthday. Jodie Foster looked stunning in the old timey dresses 👗. James Garner (the father of Mel Gibson’s Maverick had played the original Maverick in the TV series of the same name) He had starred in the Rockford Files TV series and was in the movie “The Great Escape”.
I love this movie! Lotta stars that came together for this film (that is largely unappreciated) but its on of my favs.
Maverick was a tv show in the 1960's with James Gardner. Yes shes the slient of the lambs lady.
4:08, that's Doc Ock! Alfred Molina!
Thank you for watching this film. It is a great Western while simultaneously being a deconstruction of a Western. The posters before me have pointed out the importance of all the actors and how they were cast, so I'll leave it at that.
My fond memory of _Maverick_ was watching it with my mom. She was a fan of Westerns and of Mel Gibson. Your review brought a warm glow to my heart.
Miss you, Mom.
One interesting tidbit: most of the gamblers in the Riverboat Tournament were actors and actresses recreating their roles from 1950s and 60s TV westerns.
Fun fact: James Garner (Cooper) played the original character of Brett Maverick back in the day in the original Maverick western films. His inclusion in this movie was not only a great shout out to the audience in recognition of the original source material (and the original actor who contributed in making the character such a legend), but making him Maverick's father was too cool. No one complained.
Also: $500,000.00 in 1885 is the equivalent to over $14,000,000.00 dollars today.
and, because nobody asked for it: The fun behind the significance of the bank robber reveal and the line, "I'm getting too old for this sh*t." was because the bank robber was played by Danny Glover who played Sgt Roger Murtough in the Lethal Weapon movies with Mel Gibson (Martin Riggs). The two had already done the first three films by this point and it was a form of fourth wall break that had a moderate trend during the mid 90's (most notably in Pauly Shore movies featuring Brandon Fraser, granted).
The Lethal Weapon bit is always hilarious! Such a fantastic movie, thanks for watching it, completely forgot about it!
I like 'Maverick'. It is very well done and funny movie. Fantastic dialogue and characters. Mel Gibson is great and Jodie Foster is wonderful and beautiful. The story of the movie flows forward really well. :)
8:57 And the Lethal Weapon reference was fun for those who knew it.
The Black cowboy was Danny Glover. He was in the movie Lethal Weapon franchise with Mel Gibson. They were police officers.
The head indian is ghram green. He is also in dances with wolves
I was just getting ready to say that.
maverick is always a fun watch. a few of my fav westerns are Silverado, Tombstone, Rio Bravo, The Magnificent Seven, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and The Man from Snowy River
Was wondering if anyone would mention Silverado, well done. A "traditional" western with new actors. One of my faves.
The Cowboys with John Wayne is a great western in my opinion, The Shootist and The Searchers are another great ones with John Wayne and Shendoah with Jimmy Stewart
Those are a bit more on the serious side.. But great none the less.. I'd throw in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence.
@@John57945 Roscoe Lee Brown was the cook
@@John57945 I always confuse him with another actor with a similar name . But I think it was Roscoe Lee Browne that played Mr Nightlinger..
I'm so happy you are doing this movie one of my favorites but I'm still waiting for Tombstone
She really needs to do Tombstone, it's an amazing movie.
For another Mel Gibson movie, you need to watch "Lethal Weapon"! It's one of his most iconic roles and I think you'll enjoy it. (And for the record, "Dances with Wolves" is considered a Western so, this is actually not the first Western you've seen on this channel! 😉) For other Westerns you might like, you have to watch "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"!!! No question. You'll like it, I promise. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are so funny and charming, you can't not. And "The Magnificent Seven" is another classic Western that I always enjoyed (Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen... just too much cool for one movie 😆).
Butch & Sundance is super terrific!
And that was Danny Glover who said, "I'm too old for this shit!"
Once upon a time there was a television series called "Maverick" starring James Garner and Jack Kelly as brothers Brett and Bart Maverick and Roger Moore as their English cousin Beau. They had their own separate episodes.
Loved this movie so much. Jodie Foster in this movie helped me through puberty (I saw it when I was 10). She remains stunning in this!
OMG I can’t wait for you to watch Unforgiven such an EPIC film. Plus you can never go wrong with Clint Eastwood
She's going to hate it, though. Pretty dark and depressing for her.
I don't think she will. I don't know that she will absolutely love it or have as much fun in it as she would in this movie, but I think she will appreciate it: she'll get emotionally involved in the story and after all is said and done I suspect find it a very meaningful experience (as she did with SCHINDLER'S LIST and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN). Anyway, we'll see.
For me it is Tombstone, Maverick and Dances with Wolves when it comes to westerns.
True Grit, the original with John Wayne is also amazing.
The Cowboys.... with John Wayne
Don't forget big jake
My 2nd john Wayne favorite Raymond
I loved the original True Grit as a kid and really loved the 2010 remake.
I’m so glad you were able to get this uploaded!
Lots of great guests in this. Most of the people on the boat were either Country music singers or actors from old TV westerns. Coop was played by James Garner who starred in the TV series Maverick. He also starred in an updated version as an older version of Maverick some years later. Garner made a lot of movies and had a very successful TV show besides Maverick called The Rockford Files where he played a private detective. He also was part of an incredible ensamble cast in a movie called The Great Escape, about allied prisoners in a german prison of war camp. Outstanding film. Oh and of course, Taylor Swift is to country music what Justin Bieber is to opera. Never the less, loving you and your Sis more and more with each video. Keep having fun with it.
Yay! This is such a fun film, and I had a great time watching your reaction. As a Native Am, Graham Greene's scene is absolutely hilarious. I lose it every time during that part of the movie. "Get a hold of yourself man! *slap* everyone's looking!" XD My dad is also one of those dad's that will sit around watching old westerns. This was one of the first ones as a kid I could sit and watch with him cause it was so funny. We had the biggest grins on our faces when the reveal came at the end because we both kind of knew that's where it was going. Also, we both had a laugh when the older man got caught cheating, "Uncle Jesse NO!" LOL Thanks for the reaction and have fun watching even more films!
Greene was my favorite part of the movie. The fake Indian shtick and being hired out to entertain a Duke. The hamming it up at the wagon train.
It was like a mashup of old Maverick with FTroop.
What a great Indian actor
Graham Greene has another fine role in Thunderheart.
It’s such a great part of a movie filled with great scenes. Graham Greene is treasure
Him complaining about the drums always gets a smile out of me
Jodie Foster at her most beautiful 😍 I love her fluctuating accent and the constant one-upmanship between her and Maverick. And when Maverick pulls the Queen of Hearts while thinking about her is such a great moment 🥰
The humor in Maverick is top notch, and Mel Gibson's anxious babbling will never not be funny to me.
Everybody involved was surprised and delighted when Jodie accepted the role
I am so glad this won. It's one of my favorites. Fun tidbit the bank robber and Mel Gibson were in "Lethal Weapon" together and them acting like they might recognize each other was a reference to that (also, what the bank robber said outside the bank is something his "Lethal Weapon" character said). From what you said about the things you liked and didn't about westerns, I really hope you have "McClintock" on your list for Patreon voters.
I think you'd really like The Big Country from 1956 with Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Charles Bickford, Jean Simmons and Carol Baker. A Shakespearian, western, romance with a fantastic sound track by Jerome Moross. Enjoy the ranch breakfast and one of the "best" fist fights in Cinema history. The ultimate question, what is a real man?
Excellent movie!
Excellent one. Gregory Peck was fantastic in it!
This is my mum's kind of film and Gregory Peck is her favourite actor.
Quite the excellent movie, probably nearly 40 years since I first saw it...
So many great Cameos in this movie, Noah Wylie of ER was in the game (the first cheater) Denver Pyle of the original Dukes Of Hazzard (the second cheater) Robert Fuller of Emergency was in the game, Dean Stockwell as well, Many more already mentioned.
The actor who you spotted at the poker table early in the film and said "hey, I know him! Where do I know him from?" was character actor Art LaFleur, who played a number of small roles over the years (including FIELD OF DREAMS), but who's probably best known for playing the ghost of Babe Ruth in THE SANDLOT. Sadly, Art LaFleur passed away just this past November at age 78.
