This is actually very sad. He just wants a normal life, but being a war fighter has left him cold and empty. There are many young men in our country like this
In your country? Well, those men in your country CHOSE their profession, while men in MY country Ukraine often have no choice other than to stand up against the invaders and protect their home! Look around, there are real genocides happening in the world, massive war in Ukraine, yet you still think only America has veterans... Secondly, STOP implying that being a vet automatically means being ''cold'' or ''empty'' or alone, many of them do have a stable family life afterwards. Finally, as people mentioned above there are so many lonely ''empty'' people, not all of them become like that due to war.
@@Kamenb1801 Many types of people can feel that way due to many different reasons. War, abuse, time served, mental (or other chronic debilitating) illness etcetera,
I love how they just shrug and laugh at the end like it's no big deal. That, and the juxtaposition of the Donna Reed music are what makes this scene so perfect, and my favorite scene in the movie (the bedtime story is a close second).
This is just gold. The vietcong part was just a hilarious way of showing how even when he was living a normal life he was always going to be a marine deep down.
Really this scene is quite sad when you realise that years of combat had left the man with PTSD that ruled his life and ambitions. His dream should be no further combat and a peaceful life.
I see as he's trying to have his happy ending, but he still has issues to deal with. And what the movie is mildly saying is :"it's okay, even if you are not perfect: baby steps."
Was also Asian. This film was in the 90s when they would literally cast anyone for a gag like this. Coulda easily been a Black actor or a White actor. In a small way. The director and producers were ahead of the game.
As a combat veteran with PTSD on 100% disability, this scene quiets my mind, before fading away to reveal the actual shambles in front of me. But tomorrow’s a new day.
Man I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you get the help that you need to deal with the PTSD. It's tough but always remember things get better. God bless you and may he give you the strength you need to overcome this disability. I'm praying for you 🙏
Comedy aside, it's an obvious reference to Payne having major PTSD. I have a close friend who's currently approaching 58. Damn good guy, one of the best I've ever known. He's an ex military man with PTSD and he loves this movie and quotes it here and there. But he's told me stories that parallel some of the scenes in this movie, comedy largely aside. It's eery, the similarities i see. This movie came out well before such issues were seriously addressed, but i would like to hope it at least drew attention to them.
This reminds me of my dad. He went through two boot camps. On for the army another for the Navy. Split his knee open and was put as a recruiter in the offices in Laredo, TX, Seattle, Washington, and Denver, Colorado. People called him crazy for doing 2 boot camps and he replied with, "well I would do 2 boot camps than being a professional bullet stopper." I was laughing when he said that.
Never realized how deep a meaning is in this comedy. This man dealing with PTSD. The kids looking for a family. The teacher who is lonely. When they named it Major Payne they really mean major pain.
It's the theme song from "The Donna Reed Show" from the 50's, if I'm not mistaken. It was before my time but I remember seeing it on "Nick at Nite" (oldies TV shows on Nickelodeon in the evening, for those who aren't familiar).
When I was a kid there were a few scenes that really disturbed me. The finger breaking scenes, the little engine that could scene, this scene. I love this film, but I wouldn't show it to a six year old.
@@mortson978 Strange, this became one of my video tapes that would rotate with several others through my childhood, starting at age 7. A little twisted I guess lol. I loved it then, but was oblivious to the more subtle PTSD references like in this scene. This movie is even funnier for me now.
I swear, there's something just so wholesome when they all throw back their heads and laugh after Payne takes out the soldier with the background 50's diddy playing
Makes me think of those old 50's-60's sitcoms where she'd be looking at him like "what am I gonna do with you, ya goofball?" And he'd shrug like "Ah, you know you still love me" and there'd be a laugh track as the episode ended.
"Me in da missis an lil' tiga, we's havin' a nice bbq on da front lawn, I could smell Charlie over the barbecue smoke, I took him out HAAAARD" Police officer "is that your sworn statement?" Payne" you goddamn right!, drop and gimme 50 push ups!"
Wife:"Honey! How many times must I say.... no Vietcong blood or any bodily fluids on the grill!" Payne:"Darling! He came out of nowhere!" And yeah, it seems mandatory in 1980s/ 1990s American movies for even house in the USA to have a flagpole with an American flag on it. 😂
The fact that she did that whole scene without spilling the lemonade is amazing. (Maybe she does im just lazy and wont watch it over and over again, challenge me!)
I'm 29, single, and just now starting engineering school. I'm going to work hard and take care of my future family and hope to have this type of life. Any self respecting man wants that
Id never admit to anyone in the real world but settling down with a good loving woman and having a kid preferably just 1 does sound good but in the this day and age that might be difficult

Major payne and Rambo aren’t too different. Both are traumatized by war and deserve to leave that life. But keep finding themselves back into combat. Major gets the happy ending though. Rambo loses everything in the end. The same road but different paths
0:40 So I think I'm the only person that noticed that the burger was flipped back on the same side. Just watched it again and noticed that for the first time 😂😂😂😂
The moment Major Payne realized his feelings for Tiger and the lovely lady were stronger than his desire to return to military lifestyle.
😁The ak-47 prop made out of only rubber make this scene more fun hahahahaha
i was about to comment that lol
yeah you definitely tell it was made out of rubber at 1:13

Tiger's laughing is the best
For me it's his "what?" Shrug. "It's not my fault"
Like my dog when I catch him chewing something up, and wags his tail when I yell at him.
This is just gold. The vietcong part was just a hilarious way of showing how even when he was living a normal life he was always going to be a marine deep down.
More like going to have ptsd lol

For Major Payne that is a peaceful life
I love how that Viet Cong fighter is historically accurate
You mean the rubber AK-47`?? ^^

You know, after watching this movie again, as an adult. I realise. Payne has heavy PTSD.
define PTSD
@@tgagaming1354 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. His PTSD is summed up best I think during the 'Little engine that could' scene.
I mean he even has a Viet Cong in his day dream
I mean just look at how he reacts to Tiger hugging him the first time.
As a kid this is one of my favourite movies but watching it as an adult I was shocked at how much they make fun of a seriously damaged man
I think my favorite part in all of this was the fact that the vietcong came from the tree...
Bruh it's charlie lmao
I can see where those “when the tree says bless you” Vietnam memes come from
That Vietcong guy just wanted to se what was on the grill so Payne gave him a close look
Damn nosy neighbors
Hey hunny what we having on Grill
Payne:Vietcong
The music is sooo out of place it’s perfect
It's the theme song from "The Donna Reed Show" from the 50's, if I'm not mistaken. It was before my time but I remember seeing it on "Nick at Nite" (oldies TV shows on Nickelodeon in the evening, for those who aren't familiar).
Out of place?
It's an obvious parody of what Americans were told to believe was the perfect life for all Americans (white) in the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc.

I like how the gunman hops over the lil fences
1:08 is that the Vietnamese Colonel from Rambo II
Yep that's him
He was also Soo Yung's chauffeur in "Rush Hour".
BCoriginal1 who’s that actor?
I think he was also in starsky and hutch . Looked that guy up years ago
@@BCoriginal1 yes lol
1:35 pretty much everyone can hear that laugh even without sound

Why is it being lead by CSX locomotives and then has Amtrak cars
@@jakebrake4842 Amtrak leased a lot of power from CSX for commuter service back in the early to mid 90s

i also hate it when a random Vietnamese soldier comes out of nowhere when im having a bbq

a vietnamese nosy neighbor with a gun who's hungry

Payne" you goddamn right!, drop and gimme 50 push ups!"
I think the scene where the Viet Cong appears is the symbolism of his PTSD, though once the VC is out of the picture, he truly became even happier.
Duh
One of best scenes from MAJOR PAYNE❤️
she was gorgeous in that movie
She was gorgeous in everything she was in
You’re right, she looked so soft and beautiful!
No she's beautiful
Hilary was the hottest female actress in The 90s and early 00s.
In the words of Major Payne... "Hello, gorgeous."
1:05 Vietcong: I’m gonna end this man whole career
Payne: uno reverse
I love how they portray Major Payne as a badass even in his daydreams.
He literally killed the vietcong in two hits and not even with a weapon
The American Dream
Sadly it will be dead and buried if Kamala wins.😭
Wife:"Honey! How many times must I say.... no Vietcong blood or any bodily fluids on the grill!"
Payne:"Darling! He came out of nowhere!"
And yeah, it seems mandatory in 1980s/ 1990s American movies for even house in the USA to have a flagpole with an American flag on it. 😂
This sequence would spin off a my wife and kids sitcom 🤣
Lmao I love that show.
Wayans needs more roles like this. Never realized how deep this film is.
It's funny the dog don't see nothing more say nothing. Like I'm just here for my 5 second frame shot 🤣
The fact that she did that whole scene without spilling the lemonade is amazing. (Maybe she does im just lazy and wont watch it over and over again, challenge me!)
I wake up from this dream often where I feel like I’m wasting my life. All I’ve ever wanted in a two minute clip…. 😢
Let’s be honest, all of us men have had a similar dream.
1:27 "But Honey, that was the mailman." 😂
As a kid, this scene stood out the most to me for some reason
Great movie. Can't believe it's 25 years old.
Girls: men only want one thing and it's disgusting
Boys: 0:40 😢

What happens when you lack competition.
@@bassmaster867 Actually when the government ties up trillions in war so we can't have nice things like other countries
So funny watching the VC soldier pop out behind a tree 😂😂😂
Funny six years, Damon Wayans have his own show, my wife and kids and I feel this is brainchild of the idea that came to life 🤣😎
This has got to be the best scene 😅😃😃 in the movie
I like how the front gate leads right to a rail road track lol.
That woman get cha EVERY TIME!! 😂 Big military man all buttered up... Lol i love how Charlie still gets some attention tho😂
I'm 29, single, and just now starting engineering school. I'm going to work hard and take care of my future family and hope to have this type of life. Any self respecting man wants that
Charlie really was all over the place
Let that be a lesson.
Even a hardass like Payne dreams of a happy life with people he loves
I love the Wayne's, Major Payne was awesome still quote it today!
He was dreaming about my wife and kids 😂
The faces he makes at 1:10 and 1:19 make this film 🤣🤣🤣
"Men only want one thing."
What Men want:
Why did I nearly cry ;-;
That’s why I called American suburban dream
The way he grabs the lemonade and kisses her twice hahahaa
That one black friend in your friends group: "I grew up in the hood"
The Hood: 1:39
Baby he came at me, i was just grilling...cmon!
You know it’s no Major Payne dream until enemy soldier come in and interrupt your bbq
The Major Payne Family 😆 🤣 😂 😹
All the charlie jokes crack me up lmaoo
This is what we call ptsd
In case what the song is. It's from the Donna Reed show
Payne has that tear drop on the side of his eye, next level ish.
I wish I had this movie.
Id never admit to anyone in the real world but settling down with a good loving woman and having a kid preferably just 1 does sound good but in the this day and age that might be difficult
Ive always wanted that
A simple dream of a man protecting his family. All good men have this dream or similar dreams.
That guy was the nameless bad guy henchman in almost everything.
I have this odd hankering for lemonade now
Tiger as a boyscout was so freaking cute! XD
Don't lie enlisted men, we all want this dream
Poor Benson doesn't go really long until those PTSD flashbacks kick in.
1:25 that is how you would normally react to having your home infiltrated by an enemy insurgent.
The song used in this is from the Donna Reed show

Sucks we didn't get a sequel to this. I felt this movie warren one for it.

Hes got grill marks on his face lol
And if you leave it pause, wait til you see Payne’s funny face. LOL
My god this scene made me tear up. The American dream just feels so dystopian now. What has happened to this country?
1:06 That’s a rubbery AK47.
Your husband drives by you in a car, waves at you but your blind so you assume it's only a regular guy.
Look at that rubber gun 🤣🤣🤣
Poor Tiger. You have to feel sorry for some of these kid actors. That guy is a mess now.
He has an empty space on his ribbon rack in the bottom, you're welcome internet military vets, now it'll bother you whenever you watch this.
