    My favorite line in the movie is during the final action sequence when Ryan Gosling's character concludes, "I think I'm invincible. It's the only thing that makes sense. I don't think I can die."

    Gosling growling "No!" before Crowe snaps his arm is too funny. My guy can't catch a (lucky) break.

    I like how they're both similar characters despite appearances. They both lost their wife through different circumstances, it emotionally destroyed them, neither is coping that well, and they both have a low self-image and by the end despite their posturing during their interactions they've kind of built each other up a bit and become friends.

  • @pablosonic892

    The screenwriter Shane Black was Hollywood's first rock n roll scribe when in the mid 80's he sold his first self penned buddy cop spec script right out of college. That script waa Lethal Weapon. He went to cowrite Lethal 2, The Last Boyscout, Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Long Kiss Goodnight. Ryan Gosling is a comedic genuis in this role. Just legendary. The relationship of his daughter to the rest of the characters and film itsrlf is inspired. Simply put, I love this movie. It's pure brilliance and non stop amusement park ride.

      @mcgilj1 2 года назад

      Not the wackiest movie for Crowe.. that has to be "Virtuosity" with Denzel Washington.. It's not good but definitely wackier.. and Crowe looks to be having a blast in it at the over the top villain.

  • @gutz1981
    @gutz1981 2 года назад +12

    The Last Boy Scout is a good precursor to this as it has very similar character. The gritty private eye with a sassy daughter who helps her dad out. The wacky partner. However, Bruce Willis is playing the Russel Crowe character in that one.

    @SCharlesDennicon 2 года назад +6

    The Nice Guys is easily among the best movies of 2016, and the best Black movie since The Last Boyscout. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was a very cool movie, but what he did with this one, in the same genre, is a hundred times better. It's an almost perfect movie, imo, in the sense that as a comedy, it hits the mark 99% of the time (the number of memorable lines is astounding), the action is excellent, Black is very good at filming it, and... we don't just get one the best duos in a buddy movie ever, we get an AWESOME TRIO with March's daughter, who is the special effect of the movie. It's just freaking awesome. Critics who dissed on it when it was released don't deserve good things. And it should have had a FUCKING SEQUEL. u__u
    Your reaction was cool. It's too bad you didn't even keep a "fucking Chet" in your YT edit. "Fucking Chet" is THE recurring joke of the movie.

  • @CinHotlanta
    @CinHotlanta 2 года назад +4

    I don't think this movie was marketed correctly - I never had any idea from the ads that it is as hilarious as it is. The best laughs as you mentioned are setup/delivery so I guess they're not even preview-ready, so I never even saw it in the theater. What a masterpiece of the small category of gritty detective comedy.
    I like to imagine in the sequel they run into John Boy again, and he's still killing people, but thanks to his epiphany from being spared he's gone Dexter and only kills bad people to save good people and ends up coming to their rescue in a hilarious way, just brutally dispatching the bad guys so viciously you almost feel sorry for them, but not quite.

    Between this one and the last Thor film I'm beginning to wish Russell Crowe had done more comedies in his career. He certainly seems to have a knack for the silly. Come to think of it he had some funny moments in the first thing I ever saw him in waaaaaaay back in the day (Virtuosity) despite him playing a chilling villain.

    "As much as he fell down, it never felt like slapstick"
    Slapstick is funny violence *out of place.* Slipping on a banana peel or stepping on a rake is funny because it's really hard to do by accident and is so random and unlikely. Funny violence in actually dangerous and violent situations is just *dark humor.*
    There's an "out of nowhere" feel to slapstick where the victim is taken by complete surprise by something no one would be reasonably expected to be ready for. With dark humor it's more "what did you *think* was going to happen?" like when he cut his arm open punching through the window.
