The thing I remember most about this movie is Roger Ebert giving it thumbs up. That led to one of his better ongoing arguments with the appalled Siskel.
Those two had some of the funniest debates when they disagreed on certain movies. NC included the Ebert-Siskel debate on this movie on his “Funniest Siskel and Ebert Insults”
Roger Ebert gave thumbs up to a lot of really bad movies, including several NC has roasted: Cop and a Half, Congo, The Haunting (1999), Home Alone 3, and Van Helsing. He also gave "The Cell" **** and said it was one of the year's best movies. I don't think the movie is as bad as NC makes it seem, but it's definitely not a **** movie.
Couldn't even give it the best line? Bar Scene: Devon - "I want a glass of milk, on the rocks." Everyone turns to look at him. Devon - "...In a dirty glass." Everyone sits back down.
Funny how Burt Reynolds hated Boogie Nights even though he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar yet he never said a negative thing about Cop And A Half.
"So he gets his head dunked in the toilet, and... somehow, gets in trouble for it." MAN, don't you get me STARTED!!! That actually reminds me of the laws added to "prevent" bullying that's about as effective as killing Water with a knife!
The kid "was nominated for a Young Artist Award in 1992-1993 for Best Actor Under Ten in a Motion Picture" and he was also "nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst New Star" for the same movie... how does this work?
@Raye J27 My high school was changed into a "super school" where elementary and kindergartens also attend. And they wonder why so many children have developed bad habits.
Or a hypothetical takes black kid in and beats information out of him... And follows that with dropping a hard retardation. Sjw's would lose their shit lol
+tacoblocko: Not by much. Toy guns in general were a little more acceptable as far as playing outside, but they were still pretty strict when it came to bringing them to schools.
By far the new was better, unfortunately though Dredd was a tough sell, partly due to the R rating and that Dredd is a facist hero so it wasn't going to appeal to markets it depended on.
Okay, before I even watch the review, I have a guess for what the title means... Is this a buddy-cop movie where one of them is crippled? (Edit: Damn, it was a kid. DISAPPOINTED!)
A black kid who likes cops??? This is some Twilight Zone shit, because this is surreal af! (PS, I'm black so don't come to me with some "you're a racist" bullshit. Please and thank you.)
Funny seeing Ray Sharkey who played Sonny Steelgrave in Wiseguy essentially playing a parody of Steelgrave in this movie. Burt Reynolds was not the only one to hit a low point in this movie
Because the world 100% needed it, this movie got a reboot/sequel in 2017. This time it was Lou Diamond Philips (awesome guy in real life) partnered with a 12 year old girl to stop drone attacks.
I rented the sequel starring Lou Diamond Phillips last week. Burt Reynolds nearly shooting the kid was literally all I could remember from the original. The sequel involves drones running amuck, but it looks like it's actually the better movie.
I know this may sound strange but the part where Devon said he didn't want the guy as his father made me want to cry: this is a little boy who grew up without his parents & watching cop shows deep down he was like Quill, he just wanted a daddy 😢
To be fair in the 80s and 90s those of us who were bullied were the ones who got in trouble. They would tell us all the time that it was our fault we were bullied and God help us if we fought back.
Because, irony is when the black kid was being bullied by two white kids, yet he got in trouble instead. The fact that some black people get shot without a gun and apparently the police don't get in trouble with that tying in with that scene is pure coincidence. The commenter was close, but there's a difference. Sorry for being a grammar nazi.
Hell I think the sequel/spin-off makes more sense than this. Because the kid in that movie actually has a connection with why the kid wants to be a cop. Plus the Cop and a half: New Recruit movie combines well with todays generation
4besideyouintime HA! Tommy took down he interview video plus the room review video it's self look at channel awesome's twitter their tweets from last or 2 weeks ago i forgot which it was Tommy took down both videos with in a few hours of eachother
Not counting those reviews on this channel that were taken down officially 62 episodes left which include the 5 editorials left and 3 DVD reviews. He's pretty close to finishing Season 1 with only Pokemon: The First Movie and Season 6 with just Sharknado left. Yes I actually have been keeping track.
"people stopped hiring him because they were fucking scared shitless of him." honestly looks like the kid was scared pretty shitless too. just look at his face after any time burt glares/yells at him. terrifying.
It's a kids movie. Also it's a good kids movie. It's about standing up for yourself, Lonelyness, dangers of fantasy and the importance of fathers! Great movie

That actually is quite funny.
Doug should have commented on that scene.
Really?
Reminds me of that one Mario episode. You know the one where they became pirates.
Funny how Burt Reynolds hated Boogie Nights even though he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar yet he never said a negative thing about Cop And A Half.
Maybe he like the movie
That was before the film came out his opinion changed.
Maybe that’s because Boogie Nights is a trash film highlighting the worlds most evil industry.

""When did they combine high school and kindergarten in the same building?"
*Sigh* I miss the days when that was a joke.
@Raye J27 My high school was changed into a "super school" where elementary and kindergartens also attend. And they wonder why so many children have developed bad habits.
really? is this in a small town or something??
"Is he talking about the character or Burt Reynolds?"
My answer to that is:

That's pretty sad :p
Is he good?

I now demand the critic review the sequel, Cop and a Half: New Recruit!
You made that up! OMG, you didn't make it up!
It was awful lou tried but it wasn't enough.
Rest in peace, Burt Reynolds
Man, could you imagine how angry people would be at NC if he was frantically screaming "shoot him" at a black kid in a movie right now? XD
Yeah some people are too sensitive nowadays lol XD
Or a hypothetical takes black kid in and beats information out of him... And follows that with dropping a hard retardation. Sjw's would lose their shit lol
People would be fine, the kid is still a fictional character and he’s made it really clear he finds the kid annoying and wants the movie to end early
@@FatherTime89 doesnt matter they would take it out of context
@@FatherTime89 You really underestimated how oversensitive people can be.
Poor Frank Sivero. From Godfather II, to Goodfellas, to Cop and a Half, to The Wedding Singer. What a career.

What's wrong with The Wedding Singer.
Love the fact that Roger Ebert liked this film one of their best disagreements.

She is. Holland Taylor has been so many better roles than the awful one here.

Yes, the wife of Bobo #2 is that same person.

I love the reuploading process, I get to watch everything again :D
Damn does time fly! I remember when this review was just released.
Old fans unite.
I remember when this movie was released, lol, saw it in theaters as a kid.!
And this comment is now as old as the review was when it was posted.
"everyday these big JUMBOS pick on me, take my money, and put me in the toilet" WHAT YOU TALKING BOUT WILLIS!!??
The Mob Boss looks like he was played by Bob Saget!
It was actually Ray Sharkey as he was dying of fucking AIDS! This movie is cursed AF.
Bob Saget (rip) and Adolf’s playtoy look nothing alike
May Bert Reynolds Rest In Peace ✌️
Great actor of his generation
I'm surprised Doug didn't mention that scene where the boy wants to play "swords" while going to the bathroom.
Now part of the growing list of movies that didn't need a sequel but got one anyway.
As soon as I heard he had died, this was the first thing I thought of
Can't tell if that's good or bad
My dad was actually the guy who was tied to the car 😂
Cristian Giordani That is cool. Not that he was tied to a car. That he was in a movie😁.
will you guys do a old vs new dredd ?
secomded
It would be repetitive from his original review and pointless.
By far the new was better, unfortunately though Dredd was a tough sell, partly due to the R rating and that Dredd is a facist hero so it wasn't going to appeal to markets it depended on.
I think it would be better if he do old vs new on Time Mashine
its like doing an OVN of captain america, you already know the new won.
Okay, before I even watch the review, I have a guess for what the title means... Is this a buddy-cop movie where one of them is crippled?
(Edit: Damn, it was a kid. DISAPPOINTED!)
How can there be a Nostalgic Critic episode for something that no one saw to be nostalgic about?
Me so confuze.
I rented it as a kid and turned it off after about 5 mins. Its that bad!
I saw it in the theater 🤦🏻♂️👀
4:05 to 4:20 they ruined fallout for me

RIP, Burt Reynolds.
So apparently, a low budget, direct-to-DVD sequel to this was made earlier this year...
It's funny how the thugs running out of the bar failed to notice a little kid in a police car.
Because the world 100% needed it, this movie got a reboot/sequel in 2017. This time it was Lou Diamond Philips (awesome guy in real life) partnered with a 12 year old girl to stop drone attacks.
