"Breakdown" is a CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED Kurt flick. Saw it on cable when I was 13 and have loved it ever since. It's only now finally gonna be put on blu-ray.
He was in three of the best movies of the 80's: 1) The Thing 2) Escape from New York 3) Big Trouble in Little China. I saw those in the theaters and was blown away. I love those films.
@@theBIGBLUTO It was on cable, but yes I think it was the Sony channel at about that time. Would have been 2:15 Eastern. Funny thing is that this is the second time recently that this has happened with a movie. It was purely a random RUclips video that just happened to mention a movie that I had seen that day.
Yeah, I like it. Saw it opening weekend. It would have benefited from a being a bit longer, more world building, and a producer keeping an eye on the director. Great movie to watch on a Saturday night with some take-out.
He actually says " I'm your huckle-bearer" which back then was a slang for Paul bearer because in the old west they dressed coffins with huckleberry leaves.
When speaking of Kurt Russell people always seem to forget Used Cars. It's very early in his transition to an adult actor and it's brilliantly funny. Who can forget the scene, "fifty dollars never killed anybody?"
As a kid I truly wanted to be Kurt Russell's character from Backdraft. This badass, macho, firefighter..... that didnt turn out too accurate lmao. But still love that character and movie. Pure nostalgia with that one.
Kurt Russell in Escape from NY is the soul inspiration for Snake in MGS. He's always been amazing in every roll; even Deathproof. He also got to fuck Goldie Hawn. I mean, c'mon, man.
Deathproof is such an under-rated film. Big Trouble was awesome. The Escape movies, Captain Ron is hilarious! edit: Forgot Tombstone. Bloody fantastic! Greatest Cast all up in cowboy film history IMO...
"The Thing" is the best, pure classic..... the first movie I saw with him, was "Stargate", but that's because I'm a millenial :D:D but loved the guy ever since
Just rewatched Big Trouble in Little China because it was free here on YT. One movie I saw as a kid that is just as good as a I remembered! Death Proof is VERY underrated too. He plays a villian just as good as a hero.
My favourite film when I was a kid. "We're getting into pirate waters, here, pretty quick." "What pirates?" "The Pirates, of the Caribbean." "Been to Disney World one too many times have we, Captain Ron?”
First time seeing him was on a Gilligan's Island rerun. He played semi-pro baseball, here in Portland for the Mavericks who were owned by his Dad, Bing Russell. My Mom got to meet them both because she worked at a place that sewed the numbers and letters on the team's jerseys. They'd give her tickets to the games, sometimes so, I actually got to see him play. Total fan of his acting abilities. Tombstone is a bad-ass movie and Kilmer should've won an Oscar for his role!
What does Jack Burton always say when the rain is comin down like poison arrows and the pillars of heaven are shaking? Jack Burton always says, "What the hell!"
Movies like Bone Tomahawk are very, very few and far between nowadays. Unique execution, and threw political correctness out the fucking window for good measure. I bet it will be rediscovered in the future and regarded as a cult classic.
Kurt Russell has one of the best bodies of work ever. Tombstone, The Thing, Escape from NY, Big Trouble, Miracle, Death Proof, Hateful Eight, Tango amd Cash, Executive Decision, Stargate.
No one ever mentions Kurt Russell in Breakdown. One of the greatest road trip thrillers ever. When I watched it I was like yeah films like this is why I go to the movies
Ken Morrow graduated from my high school, about ten years ahead of me. He was on that team then went to the Rangers and won the Stanley Cup that year. When you get to town the sign says "welcome to Davison, home of Ken Morrow, Olympic Gold medalist, Stanly cup Champion." Bill's boy Tim Thomas went to my school too, another Cup champion. We produce some hockey players in this town I guess.
Don’t forget his role in John Carpenter’s The Thing! One of the GOAT horror films.
The Thing is in my top 5. I love that movie. Prequel wasnt that bad either
One of the best
Ouch. Forgot that one.
Dude!!!!! Fucking badass
MacReady hell yeah!!
Kurt Russell is one of the best actors of all time. The quality of his performances is always top notch. Watch Used Cars.
" That price is Too F****** High " Kaboom
"Breakdown" is a CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED Kurt flick. Saw it on cable when I was 13 and have loved it ever since. It's only now finally gonna be put on blu-ray.
Ever seen red rock west? That one and breakdown remind me of each other
everything that has ever happened is underrated
@@ryline666 stfu
My favorite thriller
Yes! I watched this recently, it kinda reminded me of a mix of Duel and Cape Fear. Great little thriller and vastly overlooked.
Tango and Cash! One of my favorite buddy cop movies with so many classic lines.
Fubar!
Crazy people aren't afraid of anything...
F’d Up Beyond All Recognition.
It’s like The Last Boy Scout. Kind of ridiculed but one amazing line after another. Love both movies.
Watched it not so long ago still holds up as good as today to when it came out.
Kurt Russell is a national treasure.
“My Coach was mean to me today, I feel triggered”😂😂
His performance in Deathproof was legendary
Stuntman Mike
Oh, Stuntman Mike was a creep but man did Russell play the hell out of him
Great actor
The Thing, best beard/hat combo all time!
Kurt Russell was amazing in Backdraft.
The Best Of Times with Russell and Robin Williams was an 80s fav for me growing up. He crushes so many roles!
Russell was great. William was annoying. How many people fantasized about doing what they did, re-playing the game they lost in HS?
He’s wearing Tha White Shoes. And Come and Get Me Dr. Death, GOAT lines….
He was in three of the best movies of the 80's: 1) The Thing 2) Escape from New York 3) Big Trouble in Little China. I saw those in the theaters and was blown away. I love those films.
And Escape from New York
@@TheGeneralDisarray He said that one.
All from the same director too! Wish Kurt could convince Carpenter out of retirement for one last collaboration.
Also he was in Big trouble in little China.
Kurt Russell for the old timers and for the kids.
_The Thing,_ of course, and _Bone Tomahawk._
He's just great in everything he does.
I thought bone tomohawk sucked
Bone tomahawk is awesome, The Thing is awesome.
Bone tomahawk was the shit
That one scene in ‘Bone Tomahawk’ tho...
When the savages split the deputy in half 🤮
@@Njbear7453 Well, you're wrong.
The Thing and Tombstone are my favorite Kurt Russell movies.
Kurt Russell practically directed Tombstone.
and held off taking credit until both credited director George P. Cosmatos died and co-star Val Kilmer come out and admitted it pretty recently.
Just watched if last night
@@cliffordgill9052 you called down the thunder, well now you got it!

Used cars is a forgotten classic.
What the hell are you using here Manuel, water based paints?
Freaking classic !!
Pure coincidence. I saw Used Cars about 2 hours ago. Had no idea that this video was going to pop up. Great movie!
@@patrickmorgan4006 HOLY FUCK !!! Did you catch it on Sony hd channel 568 on Direct tv it played at 1:15 central ?? Now this is a coincidence !!
@@theBIGBLUTO It was on cable, but yes I think it was the Sony channel at about that time. Would have been 2:15 Eastern. Funny thing is that this is the second time recently that this has happened with a movie. It was purely a random RUclips video that just happened to mention a movie that I had seen that day.
Every time I see the replay and hear Al Michael’s say “Do you believe in miracles” I get the chills.
I won't ever forget where I was.
One of Kurt Russells most forgotten performances was with Meryl Streep and Cher in Silkwood. A supporting role but terrific. Great movie!
Thank you! Brilliant movie!
Captain Ron is so underrated. To my surprise someone actually mentions it and they don’t even acknowledge it 🤦♂️
I know right. The eye patch switching eyes constantly and them pointing it out. Classic
“I’ve always been a fast healer boss..of course I believe in Jesus.”
Thats primo work boss
May I have the camera please!
He said "gorillas" not "guerillas"
Most underrated ever so many classic movies and he is always the best in them The Thing alone just a masterpiece
"layin' on your waterbed..fritos coming down from the ceiling fan"...LOL
Lol I've been on a Kurt Russell binge all week I honestly think he's the underrated action star of his era
I had a Kurt Russell binge recently. Amazing!
My Kurt Russell itch has been building for a couple of months. This just pushed me over the edge, let the binge commence.
Anyone have love for Soldier? It’s pretty good
Yeah, I like it. Saw it opening weekend. It would have benefited from a being a bit longer, more world building, and a producer keeping an eye on the director.
Great movie to watch on a Saturday night with some take-out.
Underdeveloped but interesting
Shane in space. I liked it. And Connie Nielsen -- va va voom!
Kane 607 up the chain on the double
Bone tomahawk is a very overlooked and underrated Kurt Russel film
He was also in a really good movie called Bone Tomahawk if you’re into the more western angle
Excellent movie. Love that director. Brawl in cell block 99 one of Vince Vaughn’s best
He was Gangsta in Tombstone,all of the blokes in that were tbf.
what is tbf
@@Hongobogologomo to be fair
@@Wallyworld30 oh
My favorite one has to be when he had to fight some woodland critters. You know that had to hurt.
He actually says " I'm your huckle-bearer" which back then was a slang for Paul bearer because in the old west they dressed coffins with huckleberry leaves.
Huckleberry. Because I'm your huckleberry means "I'm the man for this."
@@JnEricsonx there's an endless war online to say if it's huckleberry or huckle-bearer lol
@@mitchzurbrigg2403 True, but I have one advantage: I've met Michael Biehn aka Johnny Ringo and Val Kilmer. It's huckleberry.
Thank you for this. Much needed
Script woulda solved it too lol.
When speaking of Kurt Russell people always seem to forget Used Cars. It's very early in his transition to an adult actor and it's brilliantly funny. Who can forget the scene, "fifty dollars never killed anybody?"
Used Cars was great, the original Weekend at Bernies.
Used Cars is my favorite love that film.
Even Kurt Russells shittier movies are still good.
Agreed
I believe
Truth
Soldier is one of my favorites, lol.
Would recommend Dark Blue, that's a good film with Kurt
"Tombstone! Fucking Tombstone!"
How did I know Bill was going to jump all over that?
Loved him on Gilligan's Island as the jungle boy.
As a kid I truly wanted to be Kurt Russell's character from Backdraft. This badass, macho, firefighter..... that didnt turn out too accurate lmao. But still love that character and movie. Pure nostalgia with that one.
My kids will,tell you that he played the best Santa Claus ever.
I agree with Bill totally. The 1980 Olympic hockey game/team was the most thrilling sporting event ever
Kurt Russell in Escape from NY is the soul inspiration for Snake in MGS. He's always been amazing in every roll; even Deathproof.
He also got to fuck Goldie Hawn. I mean, c'mon, man.
Deathproof was great. I really liked Hateful Eight also.
Deathproof is such an under-rated film. Big Trouble was awesome. The Escape movies, Captain Ron is hilarious!
edit: Forgot Tombstone. Bloody fantastic! Greatest Cast all up in cowboy film history IMO...
One of his best and most underrated movies is Soldier
"The Thing" is the best, pure classic..... the first movie I saw with him, was "Stargate", but that's because I'm a millenial :D:D but loved the guy ever since
2 words.. American Icon!
Kurt Russell is an American treasure. He played a freaking planet!
Thank you, LOVE KURT!!
3:31 i was screaming “Tombstone” for about a minute. My voice thanks you for bringing it up.
Just rewatched Big Trouble in Little China because it was free here on YT. One movie I saw as a kid that is just as good as a I remembered! Death Proof is VERY underrated too. He plays a villian just as good as a hero.
The last two nights I’ve just got down this bill Burr rabbit hole thanks to this fire channel
Virzi is like the The Thing version of Burr
😂dude.....you fuckin nailed it
I hate it
Lol the better half
Lmfao
Bills transition from Overboard is a testament to his natural humor. Homie is just funny! Period Point Blank funny af!
Kurt Russell is an American treasure! The Thing is my favorite.
Big trouble in little China!!!
@@jaggedarts33 same!!!
Used cars is a classic!!
Captain Ron one of my favorites.
My favourite film when I was a kid.
"We're getting into pirate waters, here, pretty quick."
"What pirates?"
"The Pirates, of the Caribbean."
"Been to Disney World one too many times have we, Captain Ron?”
“Learned that driving the Saratoga.”
“The USS Saratoga?”
“Yeah. Ol’ Sara...”
I'm still lost as to how he did that thing with his eye
Zero The Thing references is bullshit.
Right? Fuck that. He owned The Thing. Good that they left out any Stargate references tho.
Write a letter to Bill Burr and tell him
@@michaeldearth6327 no dog is making it to the mainland!!!! That Thing wanted to be US!
That and Used Cars, that movie's a classic
The love for Tombstone 💯
Soldier! The one where he plays a discarded super-soldier. They literally dump him out with the trash on some garbage planet. Great movie.
The Thing is my all time favorite movie.
Elvis, The Thing, Breakdown, Escape from NYC etc, great movies, great actor. Underrated.
Mr. Russel is one of my favorite actors! First movie of his I saw was: The Computer that wore Tennis Shoes.😂
Kurts beard in The Thing deserved an Oscar.
Kurt was brilliant in Overboard and Star Gate as well... ⭐👍
How could you not mention Soldier?! Hands down his best performance. Acted the entire movie with his face. Fucking brilliant
Indeed. Todd the legend
The scene where he actually cries one tear after being kicked out of the colony...and he has no idea what to make of it.
@@JnEricsonx for real! Great scene! And as an aside it's in the Blade Runner universe. Be sure to really check out the garbage next time you watch it
@@Theghostdogmadderkayne I know, I think you see a spinner or part of it.
I went through bootcamp 11 years ago when I was 34. Solider was & is my inspiration when I'm PTing with the 18 year old "kids"
Watched the 1980 hockey game, USA v. USSR as an 11 year old. Still, the greatest sporting event and Olympic moment I've ever seen.
Man do not forget Dark Blue! Classic cop crime drama with Brendan Gleason
The most amazing under rated actor of our time.
First time seeing him was on a Gilligan's Island rerun. He played semi-pro baseball, here in Portland for the Mavericks who were owned by his Dad, Bing Russell. My Mom got to meet them both because she worked at a place that sewed the numbers and letters on the team's jerseys. They'd give her tickets to the games, sometimes so, I actually got to see him play.
Total fan of his acting abilities. Tombstone is a bad-ass movie and Kilmer should've won an Oscar for his role!
He was on his way to the Majors but he tore his ACL and back then its a death sentence to a aspiring athlete 💀
What does Jack Burton always say when the rain is comin down like poison arrows and the pillars of heaven are shaking?
Jack Burton always says, "What the hell!"
"They couldn't make Overboard today" They literally made a remake 3 years before this aired lol
Watch " Bone Tomahawk". Great flick. Most gory realistic murder scenes ever.
Yea... it was so gory at times it was hard not to close your eyes, or turn away! When you found out why they named it "Bone Tomahawk"!
Movies like Bone Tomahawk are very, very few and far between nowadays. Unique execution, and threw political correctness out the fucking window for good measure. I bet it will be rediscovered in the future and regarded as a cult classic.
Splitting a man down the middle was the best scene. 👌🏻. Who thinks this stuff up???
@@shelleyjack1579 I agree, but it was like I could feel the splitting in my sac!
@@chiefadam605 my 27yo couldn’t even watch it. Too close to realism he said, but thats what made it EPIC!!!
Kurt Russel is one talented dude. Love his movies TOMBSTONE
Kurt Russell has one of the best bodies of work ever.
Tombstone, The Thing, Escape from NY, Big Trouble, Miracle, Death Proof, Hateful Eight, Tango amd Cash, Executive Decision, Stargate.
Dont forget Guardians of the galaxy 2, he killed that role.....
How dare they ignore the Captain Ron shoutout like that
Infuriating
Most underrated action star.
The amount of times I’ve used this clip from miracle as motivation is countless
Kurt Russell was great in "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" & "The Strongest Man In The World" too.
And The Barefoot Executive. A chimp helps him select top rated tv pilots for a tv exec. Sounds awful but it's terrific.
This episode of Anything Better almost forced me to watch Tombstone again shortly thereafter and I didn't regret a single minute of it.
I never saw Kurt give a bad performance in anything he has ever done. Never. Not one fucking time.
My favorite actor. One forgotten gem is Unlawful Entry with Kurt Russell vs Ray Liotta 👌
They should have mention the movie "Breakdown". I thought it was a really good movie and underrated.
I was just thinking that. Great movie!
captain ron is so underrated
Ol' Jack Burton was born ready
Kurt is a hero, on and off the screen. The finest sci-fi I'll ever see in life is "Soldier." Masterpiece on human nature!
have you watched inception or tenet?
@@Rattlesnake5122 Only excerpts. Some things are too abstract for my taste. To each his own, eh?
Kurt Russell in The Thing is great
Kurt has always been underated always great in whatever he is in.
bone tomahawk was awesome.

Escape from New York!
deathproof, best movie, one of my top favy faves!!
tombstone too!!!
The Thing is his best film
Death Proof is another good Kurt Russell flick.
Stuntman Mike!
Kurt was at his peaked jacked!!! In soldier. Took 18 months off to bulk and train up for that movie.
Miracle is a bad ass movie
The Thing. His best movie
Russell ruled as the Jungle Boy on "Gilligan's Island".
Man, i love Kurt Russel.
I spent the first half of this video just screaming at the screen....."TOMBSTONE!!! TOMBSTONE!!! DON'T YOU DARE FORGET TOMBSTONE!!"
Kurt russel is a national treasure and should be protecting at all costs.
He even played Elvis in some sort of biopic back in the day.
John Carpenter directed.
Grew up watching Disney and Kurt’s Disney movies were the best.
Bone Tomahawk is an underrated Kurt Russell and underrated cowboy movie
Big Trouble in Little China. Classic.
I was there for the Miracle on Ice. Amazing , few people realize this wasn’t the final game. It was against the Fins and we trounced them
