THE LOST BOYS (1987) MOVIE REACTION - WHAT A BLAST! - First Time Watching - Review

- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2023
- Welcome to our first-time watching The Lost Boys (1987). This movie is not what we expected in the best way possible! This '80s vampire flick caught us off guard.
"The Lost Boys" tells the story of two brothers who just moved to the new costal town of Santa Carla. But little by little they start to unravel the blood-sucking truth. This town is also the home to a group of young, leather jacket wearing vampires. This movie had such a unique blend of genres. It had horror, comedy, and a lot of '80s atmosphere and nostalgia. While offering some unique lore and new twists on the classic vampire.
The performances were fantastic too! Sam Emerson played by Corey Haim killed it with his charisma and Michael Emerson (Jason Patric) was fantastic as the teenager turned vampire! Not to mention David (Kiefer Sutherland) he stole every scene he was in!
We hope you enjoy our reaction and commentary as we delve into this Halloween classic. This movie helped shape the portrayal of vampires in pop culture and the film still holds up!
Join us as we explore the world of the undead with a sense of style!

This harks back to my childhood and I'm not Jonathan Harking " vampire humor" the twist at the end is great, and the soundtrack. Fun fact seeing this at 7 Holy water was always around. The frog 🐸 brother were always a jump away. Best vampire movie..but Bella Legosi in Universal 1931 "Dracula" was pretty epic. Twilight nope 🙅🏻 "Interview with a Vampire" great. Bram Stokers "Dracula" okay
Saw this when it came out. One of my favorite movies. Jaime Gerts was hottie in her day. Lol. FYI, She was the girlfriend in Twister.
It was all the music
Edgar Allen Poe, a famous writer of dark poems.
Why do you hide the movie, when you pause to comment? It's annoying!
This movie was mostly filmed in Santa Cruz CA. Every year they play movies on the beach near the boardwalk and Lost Boys is a yearly regular. I’ve even seen fans dress up as the characters for the showing
We're definitely visiting! It looks beautiful 😀
@@OfficialMediaKnightsit is beautiful,you should visit us up here in Northern California. Santa Cruz is my home beach
Booking a flight for the next one, never knew that happened... Seen this film literally (not figuratively) at least 100 times and it's been my favourite film since I was 8 (1987)... Hope it's around the same time as the Lebowski festival, otherwise I'm just gonna have to make several trips😁
@@OfficialMediaKnightsIt was actually supposed to be Santa Cruz, but sometime before released the city got cold feet because they were worried people might actually think it was the Murder Capital of the World, so they renamed the city Santa Carla.
Wait how did she know what Santa Cruz looks like??
In some tales, vampires are able to "glamour" humans by making them see what they want or by forgetting things. I loved that you watched this guys, your reaction was great. The mum in this is so sweet and kind and the grandpa is the GOAT! Kiefer Sutherland is mesmerizing in this role.
Yess exactly!! We LOVED this movie, and as you said, mom is the sweetest and Gramps is the GOAT!
Yeah it's actually from the original tale. Dracula inspired the majority Vampire stories as far as glamouring goes.
The Lost Boys represent orphans adopted by Max after their father drowned at sea chasing a would-be mother, Max's ex wife who also drowned.
Watch 'Overboard' with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, plenty of clues linking the four boys to the vampire lore.
Not to mention...'Fright Night' icon vampire killer Peter Vincent enjoying retirement as the yacht crew head manservant...
The kids are enjoyable!
For the VtM peeps...that's Dominate at work right there! 😁
My friends and I watched Labyrinth, Hairspray (1988) & The Lost Boys countless times as pre-teens. The Lost Boys was the most fun to watch because it had enough hot guys that we didn’t have to fight over who would get to marry David Bowie’s Goblin King 😆
Great reaction to a major blast from the past.
RIP Corey Haim, thank you for the wonderful childhood memories.
We can imagine all the ladies losing their minds with this one! Thank you for watching, it means the world to us ❤️
Barnard Hughes is one of the classic grandpas of Hollywood. 😄
I feel like grandpa has some fun stories to tell. He was way too calm after killing Max, it seemed like a Tuesday to him 😂
Oh yeah, great at playing dead, doesn't watch TV, uses window cleaner as aftershave, stakes vamps with sharpened fence posts launched from his oldsmobile convertible, gramps is a pro at this
Gramps is a vampire in canon!
I absolutely still love this movie. Back when vampire movies were great, and long before there was a "Team Edward" or "Team" whatever the hell his name was...Team Frog Brothers Forever. 🐸🐸
This movie rocks! It was a fantastic watch during Halloween season😄
@@OfficialMediaKnightsThe song I Still Believe is by Tim Cappello he was the one with ths sax.The younger brother is Corey Haim one of the frog brothers was Corey Feldman the one with the bandanna they did several movies together on the 80's and were good friends in real life.Haim wound up losing every thing because of drugs and eventually died but he moved in with Feldman and his then wife at the time-Feldmans before Haim died.Haim did a Werewolf movie in the 80's called Silver Bullet by Stephen King.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsThere is like three Lost Boys movies but only the original is good.
You’re clearly a twilight fan brining it up. Seems like you’re an obsessed little girl
Lost boys is one of THE greatest, most iconic vampire movies in pop culture history!
I remember going to see this at the theater for my 20th birthday and it was a blast. The theater was packed and anytime Keifer or Jason Patric came on screen the girls would make cat calls at the screen lol! Thank you for watching this gem of a horror comedy.
Rip Edward Herman, Corey Haim and the wonderful Barnard Hughes!
Haha awwww that must have been such a great time, it sounds amazing!!
RIP indeed, they are sorely missed!
RIP, Brooke McCarter - Paul one of the other Vampires....
@@OfficialMediaKnights Lost Boys: The Tribe Cast Angus Sutherland.....
The director, Joel Schumacher was a costume designer before he became a director, which is why the style is so on point. He had an eye for visual detail, from cinematography to production design and detail.
I forgot how unbelievably hot Jason Patrick was in this movie, and how funny The Lost Boys is...haven't seen it in a long time. Thanks for the watch!
If you haven’t seen it try Rush the movie with Jason Patrick. It’s really good!
I've seen this movie twenty times and I only just caught that Michael ignored Star telling him the bottle was full of blood because he'd just been manipulated into thinking there were maggots and worms.
Kind of a dirty trick 🤨
I saw this on VHS at my best friend’s Sweet 16th birthday party back in 1987. It became her favorite movie, and she had posters of the Lost Boys in her room. She died of heart failure in 2000, and I got a tattoo of David on my right calf as a tribute to her. RIP Joni Hutton.
God bless your friend, her family, and her friends. Reminds me of me and my friends!
RIP to your friend. That’s an awesome thing that you did for her.❤
heart failure at 29 dam .. Rest Up
Another great reaction! "The Lost Boys" is one of the best vampire movies ever, one of the best 80s movies ever & BY FAR the best movie the 2 Coreys Haim & Feldman, have ever made. Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland & the Lost Boys were not only gorgeous, they also had the best vampire hair ever! Did any vampires own hair salons in Santa Carla? 🤔🙃😉
As hot as MOST of the vampires were & as cool as the Frog Brothers were, the best character in the movie was Grandpa, who was not only a badass, he also had the best line: "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires." Iconic!
Another great movie with Kiefer Sutherland is "A Few Good Men." Kiefer's role was small but crucial. Thanks again! 🧛🦇🩸
Thank you for watching this with us! That last line as the screen fades to black got us good!
Adding your suggestion to our list ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnightsThanks for the kindness! Grandpa is another vampire movie trope: the "lunatic" who knew the truth all along. However, I did miss your response to one of the best lines: "Wait 'til Mom finds out!"
Fun Fact: Jami Gertz, who played Star, said that director Joel Schumacher didn't show her in full vamp mode because he didn't think that girls should kill. If I were playing a vampire, I'd want the full treatment, fangs & all! 🦇🩸
Other suggestions: "Fright Night (1985 version)," "Fright Night 2," "Near Dark," "Once Bitten," "Vamp" & "From Dusk Till Dawn," which stars George Clooney, was written by Quentin Tarantino & directed by Robert Rodriguez.
Effective immortality, fortitude, potence, celerity, flight, and perpetually great hair. Being a vampire certainly has its allure. 😉
the makeup they used to make people look like vampires was perfect, especially the contact lenses and fangs
Apparently, the contact lenses were so painful for the actors that they could only wear them for 3-5 mins a time. Then their eyes would be all messed up for a day. But I agree with you. The aesthetic is great.
I first saw this movie in 1989ish. I was 8 or 9 years old. It wasn’t until I was roughly 40 years old where I realized the “Grandpa” was the Van Helsing character. The taxidermy isn’t showing he’s an odd guy…it’s showing he’s a natural born hunter…very clever movie, and underrated
This was filmed in Santa Cruz, California where I live. The monk during the People are Strange montage used to ride the bus with me.
42:45 - They did try other ways to catch Max besides just garlic. They also threw holy water on him and shoved a mirror in his face to try and catch him not reflecting. But those things didn't work because Michael had invited him in...
What a nice coincidence - I just watched The Lost Boys a few days ago!
As a kid of the 80s, I managed to watch it back then. It's one of those movies I love to return to from time to time, not only because it scratches that nostalgia-itch, but it's a great movie all on its own. Love it!
Good timing! We agree! This movie is a great watch and it gave us a glimpse of what being a teenager in the 80s looked like!
Lost Boys. Top Gun. Dirty Dancing. Highlander. Soundtrack. Soundtrack. Soundtrack. That defines '80s movies unlike modern movies. Those choose scores over songs. '80s had killer scores, too, with Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Conan the Barbarian, but we didn't put those scores in our cassette players and blast it as we cruised on road trips
I’d like to add Say Anything. 80s soundtracks were so good! I had a huge collection of them.
the actor that played the vampire Marko (Alex Winter) also played Bill in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.
Such a fun classic! I can't believe you guys didn't remark on oily sax man though! He's an 80's icon! As film makers with an amazing eye for detail, you should consider watching "Let the Right One In". I know you'd both love it!
We were too stunned by the shininess to speak on it! 😂 Thank you for the compliment and for your suggestion! Adding it to our list❤️
Cappello was Tina Turner's sax player from the 80s and 90s. Great reactions
Jami Gertz (the actress who played "Star") was one of my 80's crushes! She's still gorgeous to this day!
Jason Patric's dad is Father Karras from The Exorcist, Jason Miller.
I absolutely LOVE this movie! I never get tired of watching it!!!!! And if no one else haven't already said so a thousand times, Grandpa turned out to be a former vampire hunter. That's why he was so knowledgeable (remember how he looked at Max when he was at the door asking to be "invited" in?) , knew how to make stakes and of course, kill the head vampire at the end. But, he obviously had to stop hunting because of his age. Team Grandpa! 😁
When I was 23, my Pop came to my room to ask me if I wanted to see Donald Sutherland's kid play a vampire. Sure, I said. For the next hour and a half, my tongue's hanging out a foot. I have made it my life's work to see everything young Sutherland puts to film and I'm never disappointed. He is the greatest actor of our time. Go beyond the big hits. Look for "Dark City". "Phone Booth". "Last Light" with Forest Whitaker (must see) or "Eye For An Eye" with Sally Field. You won't sleep. This was great fun watching this with you two! So glad you enjoyed it!
The grandpa's words at the end about "...all the damn vampires." was to imply that there were more in Santa Clara, and not just Max and his Lost Boys. That's why the mom and her boys had that shocked look on their faces.
That would mean there are more head/lead vampires out there turning people and recruiting. That is a terrifying thought!
I never thought about that before, that's pretty scary indeed
@@OfficialMediaKnights My theory was that Max just happened to be the oldest and most powerful in town. Now maybe another will step up. There is a Lost Boys 2 but I never got to watch it. Plus, I've heard some bad reviews for it, so in an effort to maintain my love for the original movie I refused to watch part 2.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Another GREAT 80s iconic cult classic you need to check out is a movie called Night Breed, starring Craig Sheffer. I think you two would really love it.
@@JessieCristo That explains what happened in 2. I used to own a copy. It was an ok movie, but not as good as one even though it WAS a sequel (but only had two of the original cast-Edgar and Alan). I would still have it if it wasn't for the fact I leant it to my then-friend who was also an Lost Boys Fan-and never got it back. I've been trying to find another copy to buy, but all I can find is this one and the remake.
This movie came out when I was fifteen and I was obsessed with it! It's what started my years-long love of vampires. Another great one from the same year is Near Dark. It has Bill Paxton, Lance Henrikson, and Jenette Goldstein and is definitely worth checking out.
YES YES YES - This is a movie they should definitely check out!!
Near Dark is my favorite modern vampire movie. I’d love to see them react!
When this movie came out my older brother, Michael and I were of similar age to the brothers and I at times could totally believe my brother was a vampire!😂
Another reason why I love this movie was the Aussie musicians INXS and Jimmy Barnes featuring pretty strongly in the soundtrack, which was very rare at the time.
All the characters are great, but Grandpa was the star for me, and delivers one of my favourite closing lines.
Thanks for the great reaction.
Stand By Me is a great film to watch if you want to see a young Kiefer Sutherland.
That's a fantastic recommendation, thank you!! Adding it to our list!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsAnd an even younger Corey Feldman. Corey Feldman was in a *bunch* of movies back then.
I agree
Fun reaction. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were HUGE stars and best friends. Their faces were everywhere. unfortunately they experienced the dark side of Hollywood. Corey Haim passed away in 2010 at 38 years old.
Feldog and his Angels still tour. They make music. Technically
"just wait till mum finds out!" 😂😂😂😂
Ahah such a great line! Mom clearly was the main danger in Santa Carla, nevermind the vampires😂
"I fight for truth, justice, and the American way"--Superman's catchphrase from the early comic books
I'm leaving a comment before I watch your reaction. You two are great and the Lost Boys is not just my favorite vampire movie of all time, it's one of my favorite movies of all time. So thanks for doing this video, I'm excited to watch 👌
We hope that you enjoy! Thank you for watching ❤️
The little brother is Corey Haim. Unfortunately he passed away back in 2010 after a long battle of drug abuse and pneumonia. He was a great actor 😢 who didn’t realize his potential and addiction got the best of him. Him and Corey Feldman, one of the other boys in the movie were best friends in life also.
He didn't have a chance to realize his potential. IYKYK.
He knew his potential. He just got messed with as a kid, which led to addiction. I never know what I can type in the comments. One must be careful about the words used. But you can look up Corey Haim and Corey Feldman to find the story.
This is my movie❤❤ The song Cry Little Sister was perfect for this movie. Now I'm going to listen to it for days😂😂
Also, love watching your reaction for a first time watch of this movie
This movie is the best VAMPIRE movie ever !!!! The best !
It's absolutely in our top favorites list!!
This was another movie I watched with my dad growin up. This movie and Gay Oldman's Bram Strokers Dracula are my favorite vampire movies!
That is awesome! Adding that one to our list! Heard some pretty good things about it.
Fun Fact: The actor who played Michael, Jason Patric, is the real life son of Jason Miller who played Father Damien Karras in the Exorcist
And his grandfather is Jackie Gleason (the father of his mother!)🙏
My Favorite Vampire Movie❤ I had this amazing soundtrack on cassette & cd lol Thank y'all for this one, I know it took a lot to get it up❤
Haha no wonder, the soundtrack for this is so gooood!! Thank you so much for your patience and support, it means the world to us!
Mine too! This and Queen of the Damned (it's terrible but I love it so much haha) also the soundtrack on that one is peak 2000s
I still have this soundtrack on vinyl! Lol
@@kellifranklin9872 me too 😉
The first time I saw this was shortly after it come out on vhs. I was around 12 when we rented it. The tape was messed up though, and every time Max said, "it's so much easier if you don't fight," the tape would automatically start rewinding. It was very frustrating and took some finagling to finally see the last 2 minutes of the movie.
Ah man! That sounds terrible! It's the equivalent of when the streaming service won't stop buffering nowadays 😂
It's one of my all-time favorites. Basically, the Goonies, but with Vampires. Amazing cast, too. Keifer Sutherland gives a haunting performance. Amazing soundtrack too.
I really love when new generations enjoy this movie as much as I did when I saw it back in the 80's. This and Stand By Me were my first movies with Kiefer Sutherland and, as a teenager girl, I loved him. He was my first vampire crush 😂😂
Same. We watched a lot of crap in the 80's but there were definitely some gems. The Lost Boys is one of them!
I was 17. My friend dragged me to this 6 times. Well, I loved it too. And I helped him liberate a poster of the movie also! Good to see you watching this classic. Ps my friend was at the Santa Cruz boardwalk while they were filming this. 😊❤
@5:38 "Look, it's the sax player from Lost Boys out here trying to rub the language barrier in my face." - Kenny Powers, Eastbound and Down. 😂
Keifer Sutherland's character in this movie was a total boss even though he wasn't the head-vampire, he played a pretty good villain even as a vampire biker/bad boy
Love how Denise immediately said this looks like Santa’s Cruz. Beautiful, historic little beach town and I’ve never seen a reactor recognize it. Based on the storyline, you can see why they had to change the town’s name for the film.
Fun fact: The movie is called The Lost Boys because the original first draft/idea for it was to make a twisted version of Peter Pan. Where Peter Pan and the Lost Boys were immortal because they where vampires. After several rewrites, Peter Pan was dropped, but The Lost Boys name stuck.
I'm pretty sure the grandpa was a vampire (a good one, without a first kill) at least thats the feeling I got bcs of the dissection hobbie and the "beers" he kept just for him. So...he dissected animals to avoid killing people.
You have to understand that when this movie first came out, vampires were NOT cool, they were monsters. This is the first movie to make vampires cool, sexy, and desirable. It singlehandedly changed the vampire genre forever.
Fun Fact: For years after the movie's release, fans speculated that David didn't die. First off, David was impaled with antlers not wood. Secondly, he didn't explode or implode or dissolve.
Great choice guys, excellent film. If you are partial to a vampire movie and haven’t seen it then “interview with the vampire” is an amazing film, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Highly recommended
You guys never miss with your recommendations! Adding it to our list ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnightsinterview with the vampire is my second best vampire movie, the first is lost boys.
I hate that Hollywood won't make films these cool and original anymore.
Before vampires went all sparkley
Classic movie
Love the granddad's car horn all out of tune
He was the real MVP there at the end!
The thing I like about this lore is that when you invite the head vampire in it renders vampire tests powerless. Also probably how the others can enter the home by extension
I saw it for the first time in 1988. Yes, somehow we lived in a similar way back in the eighties, always celebrating every day as if it were the last, because you never know when the Cold War will start into a hot War. Except for the fact that we didn't suck people dry, I was in a similar mood to those vampires.😂🎉 Every night turned into day and actually just waited for when the Cold War would turn hot. Of course, I also have this film, like a lot of others, in my collection. I'm also just starting to watch special movies from the eighties again. Last but not least, I've seen some reactions from you and yes, I like it.
Those vampires were awesome! Every night turning into day...sounds like fun 😂 No wonder this has made it into a lot of people's classics collection! Thank you for watching this with us and showing some love ❤️
Fun fact #17 - the sax player, Tim Cappello, also played with Tina Turner.
" DEATH BY STEREO ".
STILL THE BEST SOUND TRACK AND VAMPIRE FILM EVER!
IN MY OPINION ANYWAY.
Growing up watching this movie, I’ve always loved it so much because of the 80s vibe. Always Made me wish I was a teenager in that time lol
My mum showed me this when I was 12. I had already been into Stand By Me and The Goonies for a while at that point and was a die hard Buffy fan so I instantly became obsessed with this movie 🤣 I’m from a small village in Scotland and so seeing the scenery in this movie was just crazy to me, I’m so jealous of anyone who lives where this movie was filmed especially if they got to be there in the 80s.
Still to this day my favourite movie of all time. It’s just a vibe from the moment it starts and I love anything 80s. I love everything about this movie and it’s endlessly quotable.
Cory Feldman really making sure he's got a deep low voice in this always cracks me up!😂
I love that the boys were named Edgar and Alan, like a nod to Poe. Lol
My only thing is why the grandfather would move his daughter and grandchildren to a town that he knows is infested with vampires who are killing people and kids. If you overlook that, though, it’s a fun movie.
Whee! Good job! Hope it sticks. Thanks again for the extra work.
Offf we did it 😂😂 thank you for bearing with us, hope you enjoy!! 😊
This was so great watching you guys discover this for the first time, thank you!
I cannot stress enough how much this has made my day! Can't wait to see your reaction to this classic! Always love how deep you go with your appreciation for a film - writing, lighting (you've even inspired me to notice lighting in film a lot more - it really does have such a powerful effect), acting, directing, I could go on - I'm the same way. I love how you engage with a film. It's great when people enjoy a movie, you guys can articulate what you enjoy so well, I really love that. Just another filmmaking/screenwriting nerd over here ;) Keep doing what you're doing.
A movie I grew up with, watched countless times on TV in the 90s and 2000s, probably my favorite vampire movie ever.
The soundtrack for this movie is phenomenal.
Love this movie, great reaction guys!!!
Wild fact, Michael is played by actor Jason Patric, the son of Jason miller, the actor who plays father Karas in the exorcist!!! Also Jason Patrics mother is the daughter of Jackie Gleason, so that’s his gramps
"....LIVING WITH ALL THESE VAMPIRES.."
Gramps Knew This Fact!
my fav line..
😮
Had a lightbulb moment a few years ago when it dawned on me that this is a Vampire retelling of Peter Pan even though the title “The Lost Boys” was staring me in the face for decades.
The film is an adaptation of the Peter Man mythos. Max is Pan, the Mom Wendy. Star is Tiger Lilly. The Brothers of Wendy (Michael and John) are Michael and Sam here. Nanook replaces Nana the St. Bernard. And Grandpa is a combination of Hook and Smee. Director Joel Schumacher said it was one of his favorite films of his career. And yes, I saw it in theaters, bought the soundtrack, the poster, then the vhs, the dvd and finally the blu-ray.
Having grown up in Central California, formative years in the 80’s-90’s, watching this movie for me is like mainlining pure nostalgia. Plus, this is still the sexiest vampire movie around IMO.
My favourite Vampire film. SO COOL!
Great lines in it as well.
My favourite character is Sam, played by Corey Haim (RIP)
“Death by Stereo!” ❤
they seemed to miss the insinuation at the end that grandpa was a vampire. drinking his bottles of special juice.
My first introduction to vampire movies was this movie, had all their posters on my wall in my childhood days. And had crushed hard on the Lost boys. Ever since then being addicted to vampire movies
This soundtrack was permanently in my Walkman that year this brilliant movie came out! It's still one of THE BEST movie soundtracks of ALL TIME! It perfectly fits the film and captures the vibe of it as well! It's an instant classic!! ❤️🎬👍
You folks reminded me how fun this movie is. I gravitated away just because I just thought it was silly. But yes: fun!
The movie is directed by Joel Schumacher so that totally explains the visuals. Look at any movie after this and you see the similarities.
The beach is confirmed to be Santa Cruz. The streets looked very familiar. I used to go there for concerts. Before 2000, the city definitely had problems with junkies. Then rich people started moving into the area and building expensive homes and were working to get that cleaned up. But the atmosphere of the City is very on point for how it's portrayed.
Thanks for the reaction!
We saw this back in '87, I don't remember if it was at the theater or once it hit cable. We were somewhat regulars in Santa Cruz which is where most of this film was shot, even some of the rides in the movie on the boardwalk we rode, it was a little weird seeing those areas we visited in a movie. lol This movie still holds up all these years later.
Jason Patric was about as close to a Jim Morrison look-alike as you could get, part of the reason why you kept seeing close-ups of the two, including the side by side shot. Dude had very similar facial features, all they had to do was do his hair differently. Anyway, great reaction as always you two, glad you enjoyed it.
I love the Jim Morrison posters in the cave 🤣 I think Kiefer Sutherland said that if you watched this movie and didn’t want to be a vampire then he failed
The Santa Carla beach, and amusement park is Santa Cruz, but they couldn’t use the name in the movie. But you may have also seen it recently in US to which Jordan peel he homage to the lost boys by using it as well
This movie is a great mix of vampires and the lost boys that is taken from the Peter Pan story, where Peter Pan and his minions the lost boys are in a Neverland where they never grow old. This movie's great and well done for its time, a great cult classic! Thank you for bringing us down memory lane with your commentaries on the film!♥♥
The film is awesome and the soundtrack is fire. Never get tired of this film. And I still have the original cassette of the soundtrack
Keeping up with the gang on bikes and him drinking from the sacred bottle is reminiscent of how I became part of my motorcycle club
I kid you not, when I was 15 I had watched this movie 52 times! 😆 I stopped counting after that lol My friends & I was slightly obsessed with it! Still got it on vhs & dvd & the soundtrack on lp & cd. The soundtrack is just so good!
The soundtrack is fantastic! Whoa! That's how you know you absolutely loved a movie❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights there was few movies like it & no streaming or internet so wasnt to uncommon to rewatch your favs over & over lol
This was great fun hanging out at the movie theater with my friends watching movies like this and other 80's horror and action movies.
I watched this movie when it was released, and even back then, it seemed like very much a time capsule of the era in which it was made. Naturally, as a result, watching it now is always very nostalgic for me, since I grew up during the 1980s, but like I said, there was some self-awareness of this at the time, and people back then loved that about it already.
Sam was played by Cory Haim, and Edgar Frogg was Cory Feldman. Feldman was in Goonies.
Still remember seeing this in the movies. So f'n cool at the time and it still holds up today. I wish they would re release good movies like this again to see in the theatres on the big screen.
Lost Boys
Predator
Big Trouble in Little China
The Last Dragon
the Karate Kid
My favorite 80's vibe movies.
We've seen 2 out of 4! Adding the others to the list 😀
The Frogs did do more tests than the garlic. They surprised Max with a mirror in front of his face after shutting off the lights briefly, and the glass of water Sam threw at him was certainly holy water.
How come it didn’t affect him then? Did we miss something? Or is it implied that a formal invitation cancels all of those effects?
@@OfficialMediaKnights Max said "It renders you powerless". Michael said "I didn't invite you this time, Max." That sounds like the explanation in this 'verse. 🤷
I have a vintage Lost Boys t-shirt. LOVE THIS MOVIEEEE!!!!!! R.I.P. Corey Haim
You should also do a reaction to The Crow. It's one of my favourites- very dark, great action, cool music.
Thank you for recommending! We'll definitely check it out!
Aside from being one of the greatest Horror movies of all-time and an absolute 80's Classic, this flick has one of the best soundtracks ever.
Plus Jami Gertz, who is all kinds of Nifty. 😍😍😍
Thanks for reacting to this film. It holds a special place in my heart. My first horror convention was in 2009 in Indianapolis Indiana. I wanted to go meet the cast of The Lost Boys! I was so excited! I got to meet Corey Haim, Brooke McCarter, Billy Wirth, Chance Michael Corbitt, and G Tom Mac (singer/song writer for Cry Little Sister) everyone was so sweet! Then anytime I would see Brooke or G at a con after, we'd hang out. Some of the most fun I've ever had! RIP Corey. RIP Brooke ❤️
Glad you enjoyed. This is one of my favorites. I was 10 when it came out and made me a vampire and soundtrack fan.
LOVE this movie, so much so I hit like before I watched the reaction . . Just because it was The Lost Boys
You guys are great. I enjoy the excitement and back and forth between you two. Your commentary is exceptional. This is like I'm watching movies with my friends. Keep up the good job.
Thank you! When we both got into films the way we did we were always on the lookout for people that were as passionate as we are about these amazing stories. Sharing these with all of you allows us to engage in meaningful conversations about these amazing movies. We're glad we get to know and make so many friends that love films ❤️
One of the best movie soundtracks of the 80s. I had the privilege to see it at the cinema on original release, I was 12 :) Easily re-watchable.
It was a delight to 'watch' this with you! While it would have been epic to sit in and see your every reaction to everything, I get why you can't. I saw this the night it came out, and nine more times in the next four months. I'm a huge horror fan and I consider this one of the best vampire movies ever made. Keep up the good work! You guys are smart enough that your commentary is very cool, and you don't ruin things or try to shade those of us watching. Glad you enjoyed this movie, because it's pretty much immortal.
My sisters and I were in our early teens when this came out and I cannot even count the number of times we watched this movie. I was obsessed with Corey Haim (Sam) and had his posters all over my wall from the teen magazines back in the day. RIP Corey. You had so much potential and I’m sorry your life turned out the way it did. 💔
Surprised no one thought to allegorize juvenile delinquency or lost youth using vampirism before this. The classical vampire archetype is both a challenge to accepted mores (ie. sexual, class systems, politics) but all eventually are consumed by the "shadow" personality that is summoned to achieve it. All vampire stories seem to need both "light" and "dark" versions, like this story. Whomever put this together knew what they were doing.
