You guys aren't wrong about this being a major change in tone for De Niro. He was a massive household name by the time this film was made. Prior to this, he had already starred in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, and several more. The fact that he played such a subservient and subdued role here was shocking to many, but he pulled it off excellently lol
The beauty of Tarantino films is that you FEEL the love of cinema in each of them. The visual references to films past, the cool atmosphere he's able to concoct through dialogue and character, the music that only a music aficionado would include.. all for an audience that has grown and evolved with mass audiences regardless of age, gender or background. Jackie Brown is, by and large, his most mature film, and in many ways his best (even though I give that title to Inglorious Basterds).
Tarantino is my all time favorite writer/director, and Jackie Brown is my favorite film of his. Soooo underrated. I’m so glad yall liked it. Can’t wait for yall to react to the rest of his films.
The first movie i saw him in was about Ma Barker & her sons with Shelley Winters. He was the herion addict son that carried his rig in a Baby Ruth candy wrapper. He was skinny back then.
I first saw him when he starred in Taxi Driver back in the 70s. Then Raging Bull in the early 80s. Both of those movies got a great deal of praise. I'm pretty sure they were award winning.
I hate it when people act as if actors aren't real human beings that go through the same things other human beings go through. She's 60 so what she's not the same size she was in the 90s when she was in her 20s and 30s
@@latreasemcclary9151 Sam Jackson is 60 plus that’s no excuse. She looks horrible. It’s crazy I used to crush on her alot. She is also in Single White Female.
PLEASE give *True Romance* a shot. Written by Tarantino. Its violent, sweet, and perfect. My ATF movie. And the acting from a stacked cast will blow your minds, especially Walken & Hopper.
Loved it when I was 15. Not so much in my 30s. There's a version on RUclips where the film is edited to the actually script which was changed by Tony scott. Imo that version makes the story so much better
I’ve always put this film as a number 1 or 2 as far Quentin Tarantino‘s best movies, along side Pulp Fiction. Just an opinion. You guys have been doing some great stuff.
My favorite Tarantino directed movie pretty sure y'all will enjoy it. I ended up watching L.A Confidential for the first time with your recommendation and really enjoyed it too good lookin out
Pam Grier is a 70's female heartthrob, I grew up during 70's in Chicago and me and all my friends were in love with Pam Grier 💕 she was also in Blackula.
Having seen the movie I knew the characters had a tendency for screwing things up and hilariously running their mouths about their criminal enterprise that is starting to become too big for them. HOWEVER, you guys pointing out the fact that Beaumont didn’t even check if the shotgun was hot or not was something that I had missed entirely and once you pointed that out it, it just keeps gettting more hilarious. Thanks for that addition to the experience.
Another great choice and great reaction. This great movie stayed under the radar for several years. Most people knew Tarantino only from Pulp Fiction, and were expecting the same frenetic energy, and many were disappointed. But it has been increasingly appreciated as time passed. And yes, you really should hit Reservoir Dogs! That one is more typically Tarantino.
Hadn't watched this film since the '90s. The soundtrack made it very re-watchable and I watched it quite a few times in 1998, on VHS. It does stand the test of time; the humour still lands. Slightly better than I remember.
Great movie. Based on the book “Rum Punch” by Elmore Leonard. The story of crimes, clever twists, etc are done really well. If you guys like this, a show you guys might wanna check out is “Justified” also based on Elmore Leonard‘s stories & his input. Great series.
Not sure if you guys point it out in the video or not but the other agent that isn’t Michael Keaton is played by Michael Bowen, AKA Uncle Jack from Breaking Bad
Such a fun and underappreciated film, so glad you watched and had so many comments and thoughts throughout the viewing. Pam G and Robert F were fabulous ❤
I just discovered your channel guys, and I wish I’d found it much, much sooner! I love the dynamic between you two, and your insight and analysis of each film, and it’s just like hanging out with two astute friends and fans of cinema. Keep up the awesomeness! 😃♥️
This movie is based on an Elmore Leonard book called Rum Punch. There's another Elmore Leonard novel with the characters of Louis and Ordell, this time played by John Hawkes and Jasiin Bey (Mos Def) called Life of Crime (2013) with Jennifer Aniston and Tim Robbins. It's a decent movie but it definitely doesn't have that Tarantino grit. I never get tired of watching Jackie Brown.
Are you guys aware that Pam Grier who played Jackie Brown was a legendary SUPERSTAR of the 1970s blaxploitation & women-in-prison movie genres…I’m sure Quentin was big time scholar of her classics like ‘Coffy’, ‘Foxy Brown’, ‘Scream Blackula Scream’, ‘Black Mama, White Mama’, ‘Sheba, Baby’, ‘Women in Cages’ among many others
Yep. Pam Grier played roles like this in several Black cast movies in the 70s including Foxy Brown. And though she’s not bad looking in this one she was a straight knockout back then.
What I like about this Tarantino movie is that it's believable. "Pulp Fiction" is still my favorite, but I like "Jackie Brown" far more than the "Kill Bill" movies. I really enjoyed the late Robert Forster's role as Max Cherry.
If yall like Pam Grier in this movie the you'll LOVE her in Foxy Brown 😍. P.S They play rapper Foxy Brown's song in the scene with Max at the record store in tribute to Pam's icon 70s character. Another " cherry 🍒 on the top in tribute to Pam's Foxy characters was the guy that played the judge. He used to play shady white characters that end up getting seduced by Pam's characters " Foxy Brown " & " Coffy " . This woman is a blaxplaytation movie icon & a women's action hero icon too ( with an insane body by the way ). Yall should definitely check out more of her wrk 🙌🏽. Good vid 👏🏽
This was just recommended to me randomly, great reaction! I love this film. I totally fell in love with Pam Grier as a young man watching this, then I had to go back and watch Coffy and other iconic parts of hers! Subbed for sure, I'm gonna have to watch your Sopranos playlist rn!!
There is a cafe in L.A. dedicated to Ms. Grier that is owned by Tarantino. It's called Pam's Coffy (after her character in the 70's classic, "Coffy") on Sunset Blvd. next to the Vista Theater.
Ordell isn't a bigtime gun dealer like SOA. He sells retail. This was pre 911 so you could smuggle way way easier. Basically he'd buy a little bunch of guns for cheap over seas, transport and sell them one by one in the US for more. But he's probably selling 1-5 Aks at a time..he's not Lord of War shipping crates
The first time I saw this I was so disappointed that Beaumont got killed so early in the movie. I was looking forward to watching more of the dynamic between Beaumont and Ordell .
Across 110th Street was the theme song of the movie of the same name -- one of the best early 70s blaxploitation movies. Obviously a Tarantino favorite.
My favourite Tarantino film still. He created fascinating characters later on, but as a whole package I don't think any of his movies are as good as Jackie Brown.
I saw this movie on the big screen in a grand old theater in Portland OR when it came out. This was an earlier Tarantino film, so we were continually impressed with his emerging ability. At this point, we know he's one of the best writers and directors ever.
40:30: Because he's obsessed with her. He showed up to see her because to him, her presence is like a drug and in return, he finds that the scheme might work. Do you guys need Cliff Notes on this thing?
It annoyed me for a MINUTE that Max didn't run off with Jackie. But , deep down? He knew she was dangerous. I mean she DID , through her behavior, get three people killed.
When you get a chance, I would like for you both to react to True Romance. That was Quentin Tarantino first project however only as a writer. The money he made from that was used to make Reservoir Dogs.
12:23: Because it doesn't matter at that point. Ordell has Beaumont in the trunk where he needs him to be isolated. The shotgun is empty so he can't use it against Ordell. It's at night and disorienting, especially if Beaumont is trying to sense where the car is going. All Ordell has to do, not matter where he takes him, is, pop the fucking trunk and pop two. It's a standard kill! Jesus mother fucking Christ!
Glad u 2 liked the film. One of my favs. U gotta see by tarantino Kill bill 1 & 2 & death proof! (Death proof is very underrated) make sure u watch the full death proof that isnt edited (shows full dance scene in bar, that's full one) its amazing and kill bill and of course pulp fiction, probably my fav tarantino. Also inglorious bastards, awesome flick tooo.
Y’all keep coming back with great content and great takes on y’all reactions. I have to let y’all know DeNiro was absolutely the man when this came out and was a bigger Star than Sam at this time. And that’s taking nothing away from Sam back then cause he was lit after Pulp Fiction and still on the rise. But DeNiro did a great job in this movie and my favorite scenes of Louis are the once when he wasn’t saying anything. Just his looks and demeanor were enough. Keep it up y’all and hopefully y’all will get to a Do The Right Thing reactions eventually.
You guys really should fallow this up with the 1998 Steven Soderbergh/George Clooney movie "Out of Sight". I think it's worth checking out on its own, but there's a fun bit of trivia attached to it: "Rum Punch" (the novel from which "Jackie Brown" is adapted) was written by a guy named Elmore Leonard, and he would often introduce supporting characters in one book who would then go on to appear in other books. Elmore Leonard was also responsible for the novel "Out of Sight" and Soderbergh tried to evoke that tradition when he cast his adaptation of "Out of Sight", setting both films in the same world.
@@KaBeeM SPOILERS in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... : Michael Katon has an uncredited role in which he reprises the character of Ray Nicolette. Samuel L. Jackson shows up at the end of the film too, playing a character named Hijira Henry. You could argue that this breaks continuity because Jackson is playing two separate characters but given that Jackie Brown is set in 1995 and Out of Sight is set in 1998, I figured that Ordell survived getting shot and changed his name to Hijira after converting to Islam in prison.
@@MichaelEvans-i2r ah cool. well the Keaton one at least. Ordell having survived is a bit far fetched. I think I'd stick to Sam Jackson just being an actor who plays seperate roles in 2 movies^^
The actress who plays Melanie is Bridget Fonda, daughter of Peter Fonda and granddaughter of Henry Fonda. Google what she looks like now for a real shocker
Tarantino might actually be the best director out there. This is considered one of his weakest movies by many critics and so-called experts, but its a DAMN GOOD MOVIE. Thats saying something
I remember a lot of people being disappointed with this film when it came out -- because off the back of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs it seemed a bit safe and polished in comparison. (He's definitely not the best while David Lynch and others are still alive!)
What i thought was dope was that it is regular characters. Ordell was a realistic criminal guy. He wasn't a genius or Shakespeare and the CIA and Nasa wasn't involved. Just a regular type crimimal. And Bobby D played a schmuck the same caliber as any of his roles... Fuck a Daniel day louis. DdL ain't ever act as a mf in this century
34:02: Ordell's money was made IN Mexico. You can't be a gun runner in America and make money at the same time without the money going through unregulated countries... do you guys know anything about crime?
Incredibly underrated Tarantino film and my favorite of them all! Enjoy!
Couldn’t agree more, SO underrated.
Same note too! Top of my Tarantino list
Same here.His best movie
Agreed!!!
Arguably one of Tarantino's best movies. Top tier cast as well.
Tiny Zeus Lester if Debo my boy lol 💪🏾 RIP Debo
In my opinion, it's his best film. Easily his most mature one.
I love this movie! Pam Grier is a queen, she was so on point in this❤
Did you guys really not know about Pam Grier? Iconic and aged like fine wine
You guys aren't wrong about this being a major change in tone for De Niro. He was a massive household name by the time this film was made. Prior to this, he had already starred in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, and several more. The fact that he played such a subservient and subdued role here was shocking to many, but he pulled it off excellently lol
EXCELLENTLY!
There is no small role....
He started to do Less serious roles that were still just as great like analyze this/that and meet the parents
@@Fluer-de-Lis yes, like Amsterdam, About My Father, and Killers of The Flower Moon; all goofy silly roles. You are correct. 🙂
Pam Grier is so good in this. You can't take your eyes off her. She's a total badass! Well done fellas, from the UK.

Robert Dinero was definitely already a big star in 1995. He must have really loved the script to play such a small role in it.
He wanted the Max Cherry role. But that was not available so he took the other role. Its actually a really good performance
Im not a huge Deniro or Pacino fan, but this is one of Deniros best performances imo... especially in the last 30 years.
Deniro been a big star since the 1970s
The first movie i saw him in was about Ma Barker & her sons with Shelley Winters. He was the herion addict son that carried his rig in a Baby Ruth candy wrapper. He was skinny back then.

Sam Jackson was perfect for this character. Probably Tarantino's coolest movie, maybe tied with Pulp Fiction. I think this one overall is better.

No ... LOOK AT HER!
