- Plus THE KARATE KID PART III in this pre-4th of July weekend edition of Siskel & Ebert. As a reminder, if you're looking for the latest home video reviews -- from Blu-Rays of classic catalog titles to the latest releases -- be sure to check out my own review site at www.andyfilm.com
LW2 is one of the greatest sequels ever made. I saw it opening weekend in 70mm blow up and in a packed house the audience loved it as did i. The magic of summer of '89 with Last Crusade , Batman , LW2 and more. they don't have great summers like that anymore .
I think Lethal Weapon 2 is the best one of the series. And yes, I liked Weekend at Bernie's, too. 😉
Hell no 1 was the best.
@@TobeyStarburst Yep have to agree best crim as well Gary Busey
Weekend at Bernies 2 is a masterpiece and will be recognized as such in a few decades.
They’re both fun movies, leave your brain at the door, the physical comedy of the guy playing Bernie was amazing!
I loved these old shows, thanks so much for uploading them!
The nostalgia is so incredible! ❤ I saw, "Weekend at Bernie's" in the theater. I was 11 or 12. 👎👎😅
Joe Pesci is hilarious in LW2 and Bernie’s is a kid favorite!
One of the all time funniest scenes that still gives me tears 🤣 has to be the boat scene in WAB
_Weekend at Bernie's_ is a guilty pleasure; both the original and its sequel.
Sure, they're stupid, but they're not crass nor vulgar nor gratuitous nor obnoxious nor mean-spirited. Weekend at Bernie's is clean, stupid fun; basically, like _The Three Stooges._
Agreed! The sequel is very nostalgic for me. It also has the added benefit of being a Virgin Islands travelogue of the early 90s 😍
I think Siskel and Ebert think it's morally bankrupt because the film makes mistreating a corpse the subject of humor. Bernie is a mobster who was murdered, but he was still a human being, and I think that rubs them raw though they wouldn't say it as such.
I love "Weekend at Bernie's" but it's totally gratuitous! It just goes on and on until you find yourself shouting, "Bernie is DEAD, you idiots!"
9 times out of 10, when film critics pan a comedy, I find it funny. Bernie's is no exception.
How can you only like Joe Pesci in LW2? That movie kicks ass!!!
Exactly everyone was great in it
I actually didn't care for Joe in that film. Him as "Nicky" in Good Fellas for sure!!!
"You're right my approach doesn't work, now I'm gonna beat the stuffing out of you"
That's the best summary of Mr. Miyagi I've ever heard.
Ebert said here that Richard Donner made the original and best Superman movie.
But in his review of Superman 2, he said he liked it better than the original.
Yes, but Donner had a large role in Superman II, even in spite of the whole Lester BS.
@@joeblough261 which has absolutely nothing to do with the point that was being made
KK3 if the writer had gotten his way, the film would have continued in Okinawa, and explored the origins of Karate, with sequences the writer described as being like Crouching Tiger Hidden Tiger.
I never thought of it but they are right about the Karate Kid movies. Ending on a peaceful note would've been great. Not as exciting but not as hypocritical either.
Before watching this review I knew that both of them would hate Weekend At Bernie’s.
I still think Weekend at Bernies is good, having to constantly prop up a corpse is hilarious! I just had a big LOL at 15:31 !
It's kind of funniest the first time and then wears thin, the sequel certainly proves that, one of the worst movies ever.
Find it funny that Winona Ryder was Jerry Lee Lewis jailbait cousin 😏
Just watched Weekend at Bernie's and yeah i agree with both of them. Much like Mr. Magoo, one joke can only go so far with a full-length film
how ya gonna trash weekend bernies? is it stupid? of course! but its comedy gold..
I remember watching it many times on HBO in high school and laughing my ass off, as stupid as it was. Andrew McCarthy was good .
I saw "Lethal Weapon 2" in the theater. The audience loved it. They were laughing at every joke. This may be Gene's dumbest review.
I saw it in the Drive Inn with Batman
@@sahej6939 You went with Batman 🤔🤣 what in the Batmobile 😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
@@mrbee4life182 Bahaha, I just spit out my drink
Man, Ebert would be turning in his grave if he knew the same corrupt character came back in Cobra Kai. XD
He would like Cobra 🐍 Kai
Lethal Weapon 2 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ & a half out of 4
The Karate Kid Part III 👎⭐️⭐️
Weekend at Bernie’s 👎⭐️⭐️
Liked Lethal Weapon 2 but I liked Lethal Weapon 3 more because Riggs meets his match in a stronger woman. Weekend at Bernies was really stupid and the only reason I watched was my crush on Andrew McCarthy. Karate Kid Part 3 was a big letdown though I agree that the villain was fantastic and he makes an appearance on Cobra Kai and is just as evil.
Lethal Weapon 2 was most definitely the best movie 🎬 out of the Franchise. Part One was interesting and Original,Part Three was not as entertaining with boring bad guys and Part 4 was just too obvious and tiresome ‼️
The first 2 Lethal Weapon films were great, after that.......😝👎
All awesome but im a massive fan and have met Danny Glover and Mary Ellen Trainor
All four films were smash hits and among the Top 10 grossers of their respective years: *LW* (#9 of '87), *LW2* (#7 of '89), *LW3* (#5 of '92), *LW4* (#10 of '98)
KK3 Was shite the first two were the best The Next Karate Kid sucked as did the remake of the first one
These guys gave a crap review to UHF, which since became a cult hit and same goes for Weekend at Bernie's. These guys missed the boat and proved they don't know anything.
I watched both upon release and love them since. Can't say the same for these guys. They get 2 thumbs down from me.
There was just no joy in Siskel's life, such a miserable git. Lethal Weapon 2 was an extremely good sequel, we'll forget 3 and 4 though, and wonder how the 5th will turn out. I just can't believe it's actually happening!
Just because he has a different opinion than you on a movie, he’s a miserable git? Lol that’s kind of ridiculous
@@123rockfan He was a film snob no doubt. I would love to know his ratio of like to dislike because he would always have the most stupid complaints over petty things to thumbs down something, its a wonder he liked his job!
@@Romans8-9 yet he’s famous for defending genre films such as Halloween, The Thing, and Star Wars.
@@123rockfan You can be a film snob and still have a taste for some mainstream movies. Maybe snob is not the right word but he could definitely be petty in his criticisms amd often was.
@@123rockfan Yes just look at the joy in his face when he's talking about A Taxing Woman's Return.
Macchio displayed the worst acting and most annoying, unlikeable character in KK3.
My reviews
Lethal Weapon 2 (two thumbs up, way up; one of 1989's best)
Karate Kid Part 3 (two thumbs down)
Great Balls of Fire (two thumbs up; marginal at best)
Weekend at Bernie's (two thumbs down)
A Taxing Woman's Return (two thumbs up)
weekend at bernies sucks
truth
I Give This Thumbs Sideways.
