Shit, I taught kindergarteners in China for over 20 years. The amount of times I’ve been slapped on the butt. . . as a dude. . .ladies, i’m an ally🫡 I’ve been punched in the front quite a lot as well. . .😑
Yes. The only drawback is that we didn't get a few follow-up films... Kimble's married and a teacher. His old partner O'Hara shows up with a case. Or he calls O'Hara with a mystery to solve... that's two films right there!
Haaannnsel and GREEEAtel were VERY naughty children......... The ginger bread house was saved and the old lady had enough food to last the winter. Now wasn't that a good story children???
The man who plays Crisp was apparently so nice on set that the scenes where he menaced the kid had to be filmed multiple times because the kid just couldn't get scared of his friend. In an industry full of self obsessed jerks, this set was apparently full of kind hearted people.
He's also the villain in one of the most underrated films ever made, Three O'Clock High. No idea why that movie doesn't get more love but he was great in it.
Omg! I forgot about that flick, but as a kid who was bullied relentlessly in school, I also really loved that movie and didn't even notice that it was the same actor 😮. Thank you for the info, and also for reminding me about that movie. It's like running into a childhood friend. I wonder if anyone has reacted to it...🤔
Somewhere here on RUclips was a 30th anniversary celebration of the movie with some of the kids all on a Zoom call with the host of the event. Best part? Arnold jumped on the call to surprise them. All the actors and actresses only had great things to say about Arnold and how he stayed in touch with them throughout the years. It was really heart warming to watch.
Arnold was also involved with the special Olympics and helping kids learn about fitness. Some of the stories about him interacting with kids are just incredibly sweet.
One thing I think is easily overlooked by modern audiences is the context of when this film was made. Up to this point, Arnold had done pretty much exclusively action films, like Conan and the Terminator; so his character in the opening sequence, with the trench coat, sunglasses, and shotgun, kicking down doors and busting heads, was straight to type. Suddenly putting him in a kindergarten class wasn't just against type for the character, but for the actor as well, which made it extra funny.
@@ct6852 It sure seems that way to me. If you look at what he made in the 90s, compared to the 80s, it was a lot of comedies and "light" action/adventure. Even playing a spy in True Lies, he killed people, but they were all bad.
@@ct6852 I once listened to an interview with him where he said he and DeVito took peanuts up from for Twins, in exchange for a bigger cut of the backend. It meant they had more money left in the budget to make a better film, and they're both making bank off it to this day. :)
@@duralumin594 Yeah he was definitely an adept businessman. Also wonder if he had political aspirations back then. Both he and Trump seemed to use their media savvy to their advantage. Ingratiating themselves in family movies was pretty smart (Trump in Home Alone 2).
"Are dese your lunchs? You're eating otha people's lunches? STOP IT!!" and the kid letting the food fall from his mouth always get the biggest laugh from me. Arnold is just perfect in this film with his big action movie character being totally out of his depth at first.
@@felipepineda1585 It was PG-13. Here's a paragraph written by Roger Ebert back in 1990: "This is not a film appropriate for smaller children. Despite the title and the ad campaign, which make it look like a sweet and jolly fun fest, the movie contains images sure to be terrifying to grade-schoolers, such as a man setting a school on fire, small children kidnapped and terrorized, a father slapping his child, and so forth. In context and for mature viewers, the scenes have a purpose and the movie works. But it'll be nightmare time for smaller children who see it."
Linda Hunt, the actress who plays the school principal, won an Oscar for her role in The Year of Living Dangerously, an early 1980s film that starred Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. Highly recommended.
Agreed; one of the finest and most out of nowhere Supporting Oscar wins. She was genius in that movie and took such a risk to play it, well deserved. This role was one of her favorites as well.
She's had a very long career in a ton of random roles. She had a part in the original 'Dune' (1984), 'Pocahontas', and an extremely long running role on NCIS: LA. She's quite talented and is really good at playing the role of someone who is stern and a person of authority.
"Not so tough without your car are ya?" 👌 My and my wife's favorite line from the movie. I love Pamela Reed and I'm always happy when I see her in things.
I was 12 when this came out and we couldn’t stop saying “ It’s not a tumor!” In our best Arnold voices. This and “Twins” are his best comedies. Another really good serious comedy with a tone similar to this that came out around the same time was the movie “Heart Condition” starring Denzel Washington and Bob Hoskins. I highly recommend it.
When this movie came out I was in college and working part time in a restaurant kitchen. We had both tuna steaks and swordfish steaks on the menu. Inevitably one of the new cooks would be sent to get a tuna steak and would come back with a swordfish steak, at which point we would all yell "ITS NOT A TUNAHHH!"
I think they made it a meme nowadays! But it's something else when you remember whence it came! 😂😂 I like a bunch of his comedies… "Jingle All The Way" is pretty good for a late comedy, imo… 🤔🤔
I’d forgotten just how good this movie is . I taught jr. High and elementary English here in Japan for 17 years, but for 12 years, once a month I got to teach an hour of kindergarten. It was always my favorite class. I retired from teaching last year, and after watching this movie I REALLY miss it.
Students in Japan are very well behaved and disciplined. My brother taught English in South Korea for a year. Though the suicide rate for young men is abysmally high. There's so much pressure for men to be college educated and successful.
I have loved this movie since it first came out and the thing that always sticks with me is how great the kids are in this. Whoever cast those kids deserves an award. They're all so adorable, none of them look like cloying child actors, and nearly all of them have distinct characters and personalities.
@nickkrewson YES but not the 2016 sequel LOL! Stay away from that! They call it Kindergarten Cop II but there is no John Kimble? Dolph Lundgren stars in direct to DVD film!🤔🤨🙄👮
This is one of the reasons why Arnold became the icon that he is. He made so many simply 'fun' movies and was always lager than life in more ways than one in almost all appearances. I was in my 20's at this point and had alreadyy witnessed first hand a decade of Arnold's greatness as action hero
I think the fact that so many people remember the movie fondly 30 years later is a bigger award than any shiny statue they hand out. 💖 Thank you for this reaction video, miss Popcorn 😊
If it is from the 80s or 90s, it probably isn't *just* nostalgia. It is probably a solid, fun, highly entertaining movie. And surprise, Kindergarten Cop is exactly that. Back then they weren't afraid to mix a story that was action-packed and had scumbag villains with a charming story about kids, and they were skilled enough to pull it off.
We need more of these types of movies on this channel... we can't keeping putting you through movies like platoon (though a great movie) without allowing you to be able to sit back and enjoy a good lighthearted movie every now and again!
I can tell from your reactions that you're a good mom..... It's the way you instinctively reach out to hold, comfort, nurture, and protect the children in the films. But also the way your eyes burn with righteous fury when children are endangered by "sick sad excuse for a father" types, or what have you. Anywho, great reaction as always! Thanks for reacting to this one!
@@justindenney-hall5875, Agreed! Her wholesomeness is so refreshing that there are times when I don't even want her to watch certain movies for fear that she'll get corrupted! But she's a tough cookie!
What I love about your reaction videos is how tender you are. In a hateful world, it is wonderful to see someone with tenderness and kindness. Thank you.
What I like of this KC is how it is a family movie but not silly: characters are not childish; it is sarcastic and tender, it deals with some serious issues, and it has a good transition from comedy to thriller. The cast seems to me very well chosen too. Everything works very well.
This was such a fun movie when it came out (still is), because we were accustomed to serious action Arnold. Not only did we get to see another side of him, but it’s a terrific, heartwarming movie.
One of my fav movies from childhood, this is the first movie I felt Arnie really showed that he can be comedic and gives good amount of drama if given the right material and right director. Still holds up for me. 👍
My absolute favorite Arnold comedy. I’ve probably watched it 30-40 times and it still makes me laugh. So many quotable lines from the kids. I took a trip to Astoria in 2017 and one of the places I had to visit was the school where this was filmed along with Mikey’s house and Canon Beach from The Goonies.
Fun fact, at the end of the street of the elementary school is the Goonies house. Blew my mind when I visited it. Two amazing movies, one street in Astoria
Amazing choice! That little boy is Miko Hughes. He starred in Pet Sematary but also starred in a movie called Mercury Rising where he does an amazing job of portraying a boy with autism. Highly recommend it!
I'm from Australia but I was around the same age as the kids in this movie when it came out. My grandparents owned this on VHS and I would watch it every time I stayed there over the holidays. I have not watched it since then and it was a trip getting all nostalgic with you, Cassie. That house is long gone now, as are my grandparents. Got a little watery eyed thinking about it all. Look forward to your next upload.
I was in kindergarten when this movie came out. It holds a special place in my heart because of that. The town is Astoria, Oregon, and "The Goonies" was filmed there as well.
36:33 "It's not going to be winning any awards" Arnold actually won a Kids Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actor. The movie also won a Young Artist award for Outstanding Young Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture. Both well deserved 😊
I loved this as a kid, and then didn't see it for like 10 years. I forgot how good it was, but when I finally rewatched it as an adult, I was very impressed. It is funny, but also mature; heartwarming, but also action-packed.
You took the words right outta my mouth. LOL. Haven't seen this movie in over a decade and it still holds up very well.And the child actors did a-GREAT-job also.
What I love is how Arnold's character took a trope that the non-James-Bond spy fiction (as in, the semi-realistic spy fiction like Tom Clancy's early-to-middle books) and spy FACT books and accounts (like from the people that inspired Ian Fleming to write James Bond, like the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare from WW2 that had among its members Christopher Lee... and Ian Fleming!) and ran with it. That concept is that you make up as little as possible about your cover as possible so that you don't trip yourself up. Even in James Bond: you'll notice that Commander James Bond, Royal Navy, always posed as banker James Bond of Universal Exports or similar business concerns (well, almost every time). So he was in the family business of being a police officer, he just went with the idea that _teaching_ was his family tradition and adapted it.
I remember my father having this on VHS. When he was selling all of his VHS's for DVD's, my mother kept this film along with a McDonalds copy of Field of Dreams. This is quite a departure of what Arnold usually does and he did a great job in it, this and Jingle All The Way are my favorite down to Earth Arnold films.
One of my favorite blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments in this movie - at the very end when he picks up Joyce and swings her around, if you look at the kids in the class, the one kid with this history of looking up skirts...looks up her skirt. Kid actor paid attention to his list of character motivations!
Anyone elses parents let them watch this as a kid because they thought it wouldn’t be violent😂😂😂😂. One of my favourite movies growing up, thanks Cassie for a great reaction
School shopping used to be an experience because it was a once a year mega shopping thing. Supplies, clothes, etc. It was a big whole day trip to the big town with the mall and all the shops. I think shopping for that kind of stuff is less of an annual thing these days and just happens throughout the year, so it's not as impressive.
I call that the Fall Blues. It happens to me about this time of year because early/mid September was the time in college when we took our first tests of the semester and had those research papers due.
I liked getting notebooks, but otherwise, yeah, knowing I'd have to go back to hell was awful. Thankfully, I only had to suffer through elementary school. Mom gave me the option of being homeschooled after sixth grade. Didn't have to worry about bullies, got to do all my learning at my own pace, and spent most afternoons exploring out of the way corners of my little hometown.
@@brigidtheirish It breaks my heart to hear stories like yours! I'm so sorry that school was such an unhappy place for you. 😢 But I'm glad you got to get out and explore! 👍
Same here. I hated the school system and honestly felt I would have been happier, more well adjusted, and would've learned a lot more if I had been home tutored instead.
@@philstubblefield Thanks. Thing is, if my brain worked a bit better, I probably would've *enjoyed* school. Most of the teachers liked me and I *wanted* to learn, I was just perpetually either way ahead or way behind what was being taught. Between that and being relentlessly teased by kids who almost certainly didn't know what to do with me any more than I knew what to do with them, school was rough. Being diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's sooner probably wouldn't have helped any, either, considering this was the '80s and '90s. Meds help *now* as an adult, but *way* too many kids were turned into zombies in an effort to get them to sit still and focus. Thankfully, I have great parents. They didn't know *why* I was different, they just accepted that I *was* and did their best to work *with me.* Even when I gave them grey hairs from my seemingly complete lack of survival instinct.
I was already a huge Ah-Nuld fan when this movie came out. At 14 years old I was skeptical of Arnold's comedic chops, but he proved otherwise. One of Arnold's best, along with "Twins" with Danny DeVito. Big credit to director Ivan Reitman who's one of the best when it comes to comedies.
I was passing through Astoria when they were filming. Didn't see Arnold but I saw his body double outside the school. Goonies was also filmed in Astoria. Stuble.
The villain Crisp is played by Richard Tyson. He played the protagonist in a great 80s comedy called "Three O'clock High". I hope you add it to your watchlist put it in a poll.
Total classic, definitely one of those movies you can watch parts of every year. No it wouldn't win awards, but it's easier to make dramatic award fodder than to make a comedy that lasts the test of time. "Twins" would be the natural next pick to see more of this side of Arnold, the comedic side and gentle side. That's what made him the biggest movie star - it wasn't just the muscles.
My roommate recently had some hearing issues so they checked her for a tumor...I kept quoting "It's not a tumor" and she had never seen the movie. In the end she had an MRI and it WAS a Tumor! But she's better now....its called Scruff
Since it's back to school season, you should consider watching a movie titled "Back to School" starring Rodney Dangerfield. It also stars Burt Young( Rocky's brother in law Paulie), Robert Downey Jr, and Keith Gordon from "Christine".
Yes, great movie. The final fight was incredible but don’t forget the epic “book report.” 😂 And it was so satisfying seeing Buddy Revell give that one golf cart punk his comeuppance. And when he knocked out the principal, yeah, you knew the main protagonist was in for the fight of his life. Sorry for all the rambling, but that movie really is underrated!
I really do love seeing younger generations watching the movies I grew up on! And one of the things I love the most is seeing how much further you've grown than we had. That moment of confusion you had at "he uses the dolls to look up girls' skirts" is strong evidence that while we still have a long way to go, we at least have come long enough away from how bad things were in my childhood, when little boys could not play with dolls at all, and when little boys creeping on little girls was a given, that you just outright didn't understand how on earth that was "a relief"! I completely understand what you mean about school supplies. I don't have children myself, but could it be that with computers being such a normal part of life now, pens and pencils might feel less exciting simply because they're just tools to be used when a computer/tablet/phone isn't available? I wonder if they would have strong preferences over what wallpaper they had on their laptop, or if their mouse was wireless, or if their phone case was Spider-man or TMNT! But yes, in my day you wanted to ensure you had the right lunchbox, the right trapper keeper, the right pencils and pens... because you'd be stuck with them for at least a year! I've recently discovered that a lot of younger adults/teenagers can't read cursive anymore, and that was a big thing in very early school - learning to write with a pencil until you 'graduated' to one of those pens that had a bulbous grip that tapered to a blunted narrow tip. Funny the things we remember! I do still use printing for scribbled hand notes regularly, but I can't remember the last time I handwrote anything except my signature. Which makes me wonder now, for the kids that didn't learn cursive... what do they use as a signature?
Hands down a classic. They don't make them like this anymore. Another great movie in line with this from the same generation, Cop and a Half with Burt Reynolds. Such a classic!

Astoria has been the setting for a number of movies, Goonies for example. You might also remember that this is the hometown of Donald Malarkey from Band of Brothers.
I’m 69 years old and at summer’s end when school supplies are stocked in store isles, I still long to buy paper, pens and pencils, and art supplies. I loved going back to school. ❤.
It’s shows how smart Schwarzenegger is in his choice of movies. He knows he’s not Robert redford. But he also knows what role fits for him. He was offered Reese in Terminator but after reading the script, he said I want to play the bad guy. His agent thought that would be a mistake because he’d forever be typecast to play a bad guy. I think he made the right decision.
The wide shot of Astoria goes by, the bridge in the background, and Cassie says "This is a darling little town!" And I think wait... have you not seen The Goonies?!?!?
That length would be more of a pain to fake than growing it for the shoot, it is too short to have a backing piece for the individual hairs to stick into for it to be more easily applied/removed daily, it being fake would be more plausible if it were a fuller beard. I think looking odd is more related to how highly groomed it is while trying to look disheveled.
@@SnowmanTF2seems easier to just let him go without shaving a week or 2, then on shooting days, just go over it with a set of barber clippers with a short guard.
It's one of mine too. "You hit her, I hit you". Another is when the principal asks, "What did it feel like to hit that son of a bitch?" He responds, "It felt great" and she responds, "Oh, yeeaahh".
You can't help but love Linda Hunt, she makes everything she is in so much better. She won an Oscar in 1983 for The Year Of Living Dangerously, where she played an Asian man. Arnold's partner Pamela Reed is also terrific in everything she's in, you might remember her from The Right Stuff playing Gordo Cooper's wife.
I was 25 when this came out, quite the departure for Arnold and all the action movies he did before and after! I remember liking it, but it's been so long I don't remember it. I'll be watching along with you Cassie! Have fun!
I met Dominic (real name Chris) years ago at a party my g/f at the time invited me to. We're about the same age, in our mid 20s. A bit reserved. Unfortunately for him, I happen to be pretty good at Arnold impressions. So after a few drinks I ended up yelling out a bunch of Arnie noises and phrases: "DOMINIICCCC!!! TAKE MY HAND AND WE GET TO THE CHOPPAAA!!!". He didn't exactly find it as hilarious as we did. Good times.
This was filmed in Astoria while I was in college there. The studio did a surprisingly good job getting most of the city and the school on their side by giving them the final word on almost everything.They filmed after school hours so many of the students and teachers could be extras. And there were a lot of meetings before they shot the final exterior scenes at the school with the fire department. (the inside action was filmed at the studio)
Astoria was super charming. Still is. That was a major filming location there for a while. I think the Ring Two and Prom Night were the last ones I remember being filmed there.
This is one of those movies you remember fondly as being generally good wholesome entertainment where you forget some of the more edgy in your face intensity… this was helped by the tv broadcasts that edit out the “rougher” moments for time and a “safe for broadcast tv” viewing.. Pretty Woman has similar moments where scenes that dont align with its “breezy, fairy tale” moments were often edited out and forgotten.. A great movie and source for Arnold Quotes
The principal is Lunda Hunt mostly known for her role as Shadout Mapes in Dune and the bar owner in Silverado. The bad guy in this was the good guy in the series Hardball btw.
Seeing Cathy Moriarty in this movie reminded me of a movie called "Soapdish" that is pretty funny and has a great cast. Also "Adventures in Babysitting" for a good laugh if you havent seen. Great reaction as usual and props to your editor for getting this out! Best reaction channel!! 👍
Cassie needs to see Soapdish! Sally Fields is usually not seen in this kind of over-the-top comedy and she is great, and Kevin Kline is the standout in an all-star cast.
Been a very long time since I've seen this movie so I have a whole new perspective on the narrative. The story is actually really poignant. There's a lot of layers to this movie and it's executed quite well.
4:40 -- RE: "I'm the Party Poo-Pah."; Second funniest line in this film, with the winner, of course, being "It's Naht A Tumah!" Tommy Wiseau, eat ur heart out.
The creepy mother was brilliantly played by a very beautiful & somewhat legendary 1950's & 60's actress; Carroll Baker. Her best role, imo, was in the western classic "The Big Country" costarring fellow icons Gregory Peck & Charlton Heston (Ben Hur). She's now 92 & retired.
This movie will always be special to me, it's the last movie I saw at the theater, with my Dad he passed the following year. I miss you Dad😞 But on a happy note this movie is very funny! 😁
I watched this a lot with my dad too. I was 12 when this came out, but it sure was a staple movie at home. He still quotes it a lot. My dad is still around, but who knows for how much longer. I'm glad you also got to enjoy this movie with your dad. ❤
Im a behavioral health technician & currently I work with a 6 year old (1st grade) & this movie resonates with me a ton when im in the classrooms with these kids. Its true.....you cannot turn your back on them & the amount of patience it takes is a real thing. Without it....forget it. Ive always loved this movie but it means so much more to me now that i do what i do for a living. Its hard and draining at times.....but i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. Its very rewarding when you finally have a break through with them & they start to understand. Thanks for this one Cassie.

I taught kindergarten for 25 years, and when Joyce says “kindergarten is like the ocean, you don’t want to turn your back on it”, she is 100% correct!
I apply that to most things involving children. They're like gremlins when unattended 😅
Did you ever have a bad morning and screaming SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUUUUP!
Shit, I taught kindergarteners in China for over 20 years. The amount of times I’ve been slapped on the butt. . . as a dude. . .ladies, i’m an ally🫡

Did you, on second thought, take the gun?
Actually, I never went to kindergarten.
I would've loved to have seen more "Kimble/O'Hara" buddy-cop films. The chemistry between the actors and characters is SO good.
Yes. The only drawback is that we didn't get a few follow-up films... Kimble's married and a teacher. His old partner O'Hara shows up with a case. Or he calls O'Hara with a mystery to solve... that's two films right there!
It really showed Arnold's comedy skills too.
Obviously they did Junior together, but the story wasn’t about cops.
Maybe Arnold can do a movie where he hunts down and kills all of his former students, battle royal style. Something family friendly.
Arnold reading a naptime poem to kindergartners in his thick Austrian accent is something I never knew I needed.
Haaannnsel and GREEEAtel were VERY naughty children......... The ginger bread house was saved and the old lady had enough food to last the winter.

@@duralumin594 Yeah he was definitely an adept businessman. Also wonder if he had political aspirations back then. Both he and Trump seemed to use their media savvy to their advantage. Ingratiating themselves in family movies was pretty smart (Trump in Home Alone 2).
"You're not so tough without your car, are ya?" absolute epic 'post beatdown' line in history.
My favorite line from the movie!
my grandma used to laugh out loud when the grandma hit her with the car and then she gets her back and drops that line on her
"I'm the party pooper"... 😂
Nothing beats a solid 80s/90s one-liner! EFFORTLESS. 😎
Phoebe steals the show, every scene she has, and that line… the best!
Yep it's certainly in history
“I’m not a policeman. I’m a princess.” Possibly my favorite line of this movie.
But how can you beat "It's naahtt a tooomer!"
Alright
@@JackRabbitSlimtheres no more Bathroom 😅
Her and the vagina kid should have got married. They were the two most adorable kids in the film.
"Twins" is the other classic Arnold comedy you should definitely check out. Arnold and Danny Devito play twins separated at birth. It's really funny.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito made a great team! Twins(1988), and maybe my personal favorite is "Junior"(1994)! 😁😁
^I'll second that!
"the 3rd rule in a crisis situation"
There was a "Triplets" on imdb for a while.. with Eddie Murphy as the third brother. But sadly that project seems to have dried up
True. Twins is an awesome comedy.
An absolute must watch. ❤👍👍
Arnold has said that this was his favorite movie shoot because the kids were delightful to work with. Every day was a new adventure.
"Are dese your lunchs? You're eating otha people's lunches? STOP IT!!" and the kid letting the food fall from his mouth always get the biggest laugh from me. Arnold is just perfect in this film with his big action movie character being totally out of his depth at first.
Quite a versatile actor!
The adorable innocence of this movie is why we love it. The adorable innocence of Popcorn in Bed watching this made this reaction...magical.

The movie has plenty of not-so-innocent parts.

Linda Hunt, the actress who plays the school principal, won an Oscar for her role in The Year of Living Dangerously, an early 1980s film that starred Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. Highly recommended.
The great Linda Hunt. And she won that Oscar playing the role of a man. She was incredible in that film.
She was my favorite judge in “The Practice.” So good!
Agreed; one of the finest and most out of nowhere Supporting Oscar wins. She was genius in that movie and took such a risk to play it, well deserved. This role was one of her favorites as well.
She's had a very long career in a ton of random roles. She had a part in the original 'Dune' (1984), 'Pocahontas', and an extremely long running role on NCIS: LA. She's quite talented and is really good at playing the role of someone who is stern and a person of authority.
Linda Hunt is an absolute gem of an actor
"Not so tough without your car are ya?" 👌 My and my wife's favorite line from the movie.
I love Pamela Reed and I'm always happy when I see her in things.
I was 12 when this came out and we couldn’t stop saying “ It’s not a tumor!” In our best Arnold voices. This and “Twins” are his best comedies. Another really good serious comedy with a tone similar to this that came out around the same time was the movie “Heart Condition” starring Denzel Washington and Bob Hoskins. I highly recommend it.
It's NOT A TUMAHH!!
IMO, Last Action Hero is his best comedy.
When this movie came out I was in college and working part time in a restaurant kitchen. We had both tuna steaks and swordfish steaks on the menu. Inevitably one of the new cooks would be sent to get a tuna steak and would come back with a swordfish steak, at which point we would all yell "ITS NOT A TUNAHHH!"
Me and my girlfriend still say its not a tumah haha if either of us has a headache lol
I think they made it a meme nowadays! But it's something else when you remember whence it came! 😂😂 I like a bunch of his comedies… "Jingle All The Way" is pretty good for a late comedy, imo… 🤔🤔
I’d forgotten just how good this movie is . I taught jr. High and elementary English here in Japan for 17 years, but for 12 years, once a month I got to teach an hour of kindergarten. It was always my favorite class. I retired from teaching last year, and after watching this movie I REALLY miss it.
Students in Japan are very well behaved and disciplined. My brother taught English in South Korea for a year. Though the suicide rate for young men is abysmally high. There's so much pressure for men to be college educated and successful.
I have loved this movie since it first came out and the thing that always sticks with me is how great the kids are in this. Whoever cast those kids deserves an award. They're all so adorable, none of them look like cloying child actors, and nearly all of them have distinct characters and personalities.
And they and Arnold work together soooo well!
And their presence helps bolster the myth that Arnold Schwarzenegger is tall!
Whole cast is fantastic. This was probably a major casting call at the time.
@@cnnhdlvth9557 It's a myth that Arnold isn't tall.
@@cnnhdlvth9557 He's 6"1. That's taller than average.
I haven't seen this film in more than twenty years, and I had forgotten just how wholesome and endearing it is. ❤
@nickkrewson YES but not the 2016 sequel LOL! Stay away from that! They call it Kindergarten Cop II but there is no John Kimble? Dolph Lundgren stars in direct to DVD film!🤔🤨🙄👮
@@SuperMarioBrosIII Was it a DEI remake? Charmed recently made a DEI reboot.
I am a grown man and a truck driver. This is one of my favorite Movies ever. Always make me smile. And I agree its just a feel good movie.
This is one of the reasons why Arnold became the icon that he is. He made so many simply 'fun' movies and was always lager than life in more ways than one in almost all appearances. I was in my 20's at this point and had alreadyy witnessed first hand a decade of Arnold's greatness as action hero
I think the fact that so many people remember the movie fondly 30 years later is a bigger award than any shiny statue they hand out. 💖 Thank you for this reaction video, miss Popcorn 😊
Family movies were pretty top notch during those years.
If it is from the 80s or 90s, it probably isn't *just* nostalgia. It is probably a solid, fun, highly entertaining movie. And surprise, Kindergarten Cop is exactly that.
Back then they weren't afraid to mix a story that was action-packed and had scumbag villains with a charming story about kids, and they were skilled enough to pull it off.
My favorite scene in this movie is when the principle tells him that he is a good teacher. Amazing.
Does that principal have a lookalike cousin who worked for something called the NCIS in California?
We need more of these types of movies on this channel... we can't keeping putting you through movies like platoon (though a great movie) without allowing you to be able to sit back and enjoy a good lighthearted movie every now and again!
Next on her lineup should be Harry and the Hendersons so we can keep the feel good vibes going!
Nah one of these is enough. I can watch this only thanks to Arnold. He's the king. Now back to John Wick 4.
@@Stuie417 I second and third that!
I can tell from your reactions that you're a good mom..... It's the way you instinctively reach out to hold, comfort, nurture, and protect the children in the films. But also the way your eyes burn with righteous fury when children are endangered by "sick sad excuse for a father" types, or what have you. Anywho, great reaction as always! Thanks for reacting to this one!
@stevenbutcher3519 Cassie is one the most wholesome people I know of on youtube.
@@justindenney-hall5875, Agreed! Her wholesomeness is so refreshing that there are times when I don't even want her to watch certain movies for fear that she'll get corrupted! But she's a tough cookie!
What I love about your reaction videos is how tender you are. In a hateful world, it is wonderful to see someone with tenderness and kindness. Thank you.
What I like of this KC is how it is a family movie but not silly: characters are not childish; it is sarcastic and tender, it deals with some serious issues, and it has a good transition from comedy to thriller. The cast seems to me very well chosen too. Everything works very well.
This was such a fun movie when it came out (still is), because we were accustomed to serious action Arnold. Not only did we get to see another side of him, but it’s a terrific, heartwarming movie.
“Bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils!” YES!!! I love that line too. And I STILL adore school supply shopping and I’m in my mid 50’s!!! 😂
Same! It was such a big deal what folder you picked! 😂
School supplies, and what to wear the first week, were SO important to me. In fact, I’ve still been known to theme up a week’s worth of outfits!
Remember having my mind BLOWN by erasable pens. Lol.
I love how reactors who were not familiar with Arnie's work are surprised at just how good his films are
One of my fav movies from childhood, this is the first movie I felt Arnie really showed that he can be comedic and gives good amount of drama if given the right material and right director. Still holds up for me. 👍
Terminator: "I'll be Back".
Mr. Kimble: "I'm Back".
Present-day Arnold: "Ow, my back!"
My absolute favorite Arnold comedy. I’ve probably watched it 30-40 times and it still makes me laugh. So many quotable lines from the kids.
I took a trip to Astoria in 2017 and one of the places I had to visit was the school where this was filmed along with Mikey’s house and Canon Beach from The Goonies.
Cool.
Every time I drive through Astoria this movie is always in the back of my mind. 😂
Goonies!
Goonies and Short Circuit.
@@rdyer8764 Johnny 5 is alive!
I was drinking coffee when she said "the 90's bad guy ponytail". I spit out coffee in laughter. As I just put my own hair in a ponytail, LOL.
Fun fact, at the end of the street of the elementary school is the Goonies house. Blew my mind when I visited it. Two amazing movies, one street in Astoria
Amazing choice! That little boy is Miko Hughes. He starred in Pet Sematary but also starred in a movie called Mercury Rising where he does an amazing job of portraying a boy with autism. Highly recommend it!
He was also in West Cravin's New Nightmare as well as on several episodes of Full House in the 90s....
I'm from Australia but I was around the same age as the kids in this movie when it came out. My grandparents owned this on VHS and I would watch it every time I stayed there over the holidays. I have not watched it since then and it was a trip getting all nostalgic with you, Cassie. That house is long gone now, as are my grandparents. Got a little watery eyed thinking about it all. Look forward to your next upload.
I don't think I've ever heard Cassie as mad as when she said "what an evil tramp!"
If you think that’s a good movie, you should see Arnold in “Twins”
Him and Danny DeVito are terrific. Watch it soon. You’ll love it.
I was in kindergarten when this movie came out. It holds a special place in my heart because of that. The town is Astoria, Oregon, and "The Goonies" was filmed there as well.
Same. It's filling me with a touch of dread watching this in September, though. Lol. Back to school stuff.
Kindergarten Cop, Short Circuit and The Goonies really put Astoria, Oregon, in the late-'80s early-'90s spotlight. Not bad for a town of 9,000.
Oregon coast is beautiful.
36:33 "It's not going to be winning any awards"
Arnold actually won a Kids Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actor. The movie also won a Young Artist award for Outstanding Young Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture. Both well deserved 😊
It's a comedy, but it also warms your heart and also deals with some serious subject matter. Such a good film and glad you finally watched it.
Thank you for leaving in the best line in the movie: "You're not so tough without your CAR, are ya?" I LOVE it!
Impersonating John Wayne
@@johnkennethwiseman5460 Joan Wayne.
2:20 The word you're looking for, Cassie is "scruff". So glad you are watching this movie, you are going to LOVE it.
Watching this movie as an adult makes it feel a whole lot different. Was a favorite of mine as a kid. It's a favorite of mine now.
I loved this as a kid, and then didn't see it for like 10 years. I forgot how good it was, but when I finally rewatched it as an adult, I was very impressed. It is funny, but also mature; heartwarming, but also action-packed.
Same. Still good.
You took the words right outta my mouth. LOL. Haven't seen this movie in over a decade and it still holds up very well.And the child actors did a-GREAT-job also.
What I love is how Arnold's character took a trope that the non-James-Bond spy fiction (as in, the semi-realistic spy fiction like Tom Clancy's early-to-middle books) and spy FACT books and accounts (like from the people that inspired Ian Fleming to write James Bond, like the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare from WW2 that had among its members Christopher Lee... and Ian Fleming!) and ran with it. That concept is that you make up as little as possible about your cover as possible so that you don't trip yourself up. Even in James Bond: you'll notice that Commander James Bond, Royal Navy, always posed as banker James Bond of Universal Exports or similar business concerns (well, almost every time). So he was in the family business of being a police officer, he just went with the idea that _teaching_ was his family tradition and adapted it.
I remember my father having this on VHS. When he was selling all of his VHS's for DVD's, my mother kept this film along with a McDonalds copy of Field of Dreams. This is quite a departure of what Arnold usually does and he did a great job in it, this and Jingle All The Way are my favorite down to Earth Arnold films.
One of my favorite blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments in this movie - at the very end when he picks up Joyce and swings her around, if you look at the kids in the class, the one kid with this history of looking up skirts...looks up her skirt. Kid actor paid attention to his list of character motivations!
Nice view 🤣
Anyone elses parents let them watch this as a kid because they thought it wouldn’t be violent😂😂😂😂. One of my favourite movies growing up, thanks Cassie for a great reaction
I think I was in fourth grade. Perfectly acceptable movie for that age back then. 😂
My mom made sure that it was the made for TV version 😂
Compared to other Arnold movies at the time, it was practically G-rated in terms of violence.
Remember being so scared of the scene at the end when he gets shot.
I was in school when I first saw it! The teacher rented it and brought it into school as an end-of-term treat. Guess she didn’t watch it first 😄
School shopping used to be an experience because it was a once a year mega shopping thing. Supplies, clothes, etc. It was a big whole day trip to the big town with the mall and all the shops.
I think shopping for that kind of stuff is less of an annual thing these days and just happens throughout the year, so it's not as impressive.
Seeing back to school stuff in stores always filled me with dread. I haven't been a student in over 20 years and it still makes me uncomfortable.
I call that the Fall Blues. It happens to me about this time of year because early/mid September was the time in college when we took our first tests of the semester and had those research papers due.
I liked getting notebooks, but otherwise, yeah, knowing I'd have to go back to hell was awful. Thankfully, I only had to suffer through elementary school. Mom gave me the option of being homeschooled after sixth grade. Didn't have to worry about bullies, got to do all my learning at my own pace, and spent most afternoons exploring out of the way corners of my little hometown.
@@brigidtheirish It breaks my heart to hear stories like yours! I'm so sorry that school was such an unhappy place for you. 😢 But I'm glad you got to get out and explore! 👍
Same here. I hated the school system and honestly felt I would have been happier, more well adjusted, and would've learned a lot more if I had been home tutored instead.
@@philstubblefield Thanks. Thing is, if my brain worked a bit better, I probably would've *enjoyed* school. Most of the teachers liked me and I *wanted* to learn, I was just perpetually either way ahead or way behind what was being taught. Between that and being relentlessly teased by kids who almost certainly didn't know what to do with me any more than I knew what to do with them, school was rough.
Being diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's sooner probably wouldn't have helped any, either, considering this was the '80s and '90s. Meds help *now* as an adult, but *way* too many kids were turned into zombies in an effort to get them to sit still and focus.
Thankfully, I have great parents. They didn't know *why* I was different, they just accepted that I *was* and did their best to work *with me.* Even when I gave them grey hairs from my seemingly complete lack of survival instinct.
Lol only Cassie would think taking kids back to school supplies shopping was going to be a fun thing for the kids...
I was already a huge Ah-Nuld fan when this movie came out. At 14 years old I was skeptical of Arnold's comedic chops, but he proved otherwise. One of Arnold's best, along with "Twins" with Danny DeVito. Big credit to director Ivan Reitman who's one of the best when it comes to comedies.
I was passing through Astoria when they were filming. Didn't see Arnold but I saw his body double outside the school. Goonies was also filmed in Astoria. Stuble.
The villain Crisp is played by Richard Tyson. He played the protagonist in a great 80s comedy called "Three O'clock High". I hope you add it to your watchlist put it in a poll.
I mentioned that too! It’s so good, my favorite “teen” movie.
Wow, what an emotional rollercoaster from PLATOON to KINDERGARTEN COP! Love our Cassie!
Total classic, definitely one of those movies you can watch parts of every year. No it wouldn't win awards, but it's easier to make dramatic award fodder than to make a comedy that lasts the test of time. "Twins" would be the natural next pick to see more of this side of Arnold, the comedic side and gentle side. That's what made him the biggest movie star - it wasn't just the muscles.
Yes, I always felt that Arnold got to show off his charm for the first time in Twins, and less about the muscles.
He definitely had a charm. There's something oddly non-threatening about him...even after all the epic kills and one liners.
"You're not so tough without your car, are ya?" is still a fave quote of mine.
My roommate recently had some hearing issues so they checked her for a tumor...I kept quoting "It's not a tumor" and she had never seen the movie. In the end she had an MRI and it WAS a Tumor! But she's better now....its called Scruff
Yikes. Glad she's ok. Remember being super paranoid about tumors for a while as a kid after seeing this and learning what they were.
@seansteyer8851 That's a weird name for a tumor, but whatever gets her through the night.
@@rivercitymud oh, ha i see the confusion, the tumor wasn't called Scruff, that was reacting to her calling Arnold's beard 'gruff'
"Why couldn't he have asked the principal which students transferred in the last 6 months to a year?"
How dare you bring LOGIC into this!!😂😂😂
Because he already knew. It's what he was there for...right??
This movie inspired me to get into teaching. Btw, theres a great reunion video of the kids (grown up) talking to arnold.
Since it's back to school season, you should consider watching a movie titled "Back to School" starring Rodney Dangerfield. It also stars Burt Young( Rocky's brother in law Paulie), Robert Downey Jr, and Keith Gordon from "Christine".
Richard Tyson, who played Crisp, had an excellent role in the vastly underrated 80’s teen movie, “Three O’Clock High”. Super worth checking out!
Definitely best 80s teen movie. Acting and cinematography were excellent.
Yes, great movie. The final fight was incredible but don’t forget the epic “book report.” 😂 And it was so satisfying seeing Buddy Revell give that one golf cart punk his comeuppance. And when he knocked out the principal, yeah, you knew the main protagonist was in for the fight of his life. Sorry for all the rambling, but that movie really is underrated!
I really do love seeing younger generations watching the movies I grew up on! And one of the things I love the most is seeing how much further you've grown than we had. That moment of confusion you had at "he uses the dolls to look up girls' skirts" is strong evidence that while we still have a long way to go, we at least have come long enough away from how bad things were in my childhood, when little boys could not play with dolls at all, and when little boys creeping on little girls was a given, that you just outright didn't understand how on earth that was "a relief"!
I completely understand what you mean about school supplies. I don't have children myself, but could it be that with computers being such a normal part of life now, pens and pencils might feel less exciting simply because they're just tools to be used when a computer/tablet/phone isn't available? I wonder if they would have strong preferences over what wallpaper they had on their laptop, or if their mouse was wireless, or if their phone case was Spider-man or TMNT! But yes, in my day you wanted to ensure you had the right lunchbox, the right trapper keeper, the right pencils and pens... because you'd be stuck with them for at least a year! I've recently discovered that a lot of younger adults/teenagers can't read cursive anymore, and that was a big thing in very early school - learning to write with a pencil until you 'graduated' to one of those pens that had a bulbous grip that tapered to a blunted narrow tip. Funny the things we remember! I do still use printing for scribbled hand notes regularly, but I can't remember the last time I handwrote anything except my signature. Which makes me wonder now, for the kids that didn't learn cursive... what do they use as a signature?
I’m glad you were able to finally get this one up after all the trouble.
Kimble: “Ha ha ha ha, Quiet!”
Still gets me! lol.
Hands down a classic. They don't make them like this anymore.
Another great movie in line with this from the same generation, Cop and a Half with Burt Reynolds. Such a classic!

*ERASER* (1996) is another super-funny Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
Astoria has been the setting for a number of movies, Goonies for example.
You might also remember that this is the hometown of Donald Malarkey from Band of Brothers.
''You're not so tough without your car, are ya?'' is a good line
“It’s not a toomah!” 😂
Always love imitating this line.
The lady that played the principal was also in the movie if looks could kill which is a 90s action comedy movie about James Bond sorta😂
A James Bond Jr.
I’m 69 years old and at summer’s end when school supplies are stocked in store isles, I still long to buy paper, pens and pencils, and art supplies. I loved going back to school. ❤.
I loved when you said “ what an evil tramp! “ 😂😂😂😂I felt the same way ❤❤❤❤
It’s shows how smart Schwarzenegger is in his choice of movies. He knows he’s not Robert redford. But he also knows what role fits for him. He was offered Reese in Terminator but after reading the script, he said I want to play the bad guy. His agent thought that would be a mistake because he’d forever be typecast to play a bad guy. I think he made the right decision.
"The 90s bad guy pony tail" LOL
Pony tail = TROUBLE. So true.
The wide shot of Astoria goes by, the bridge in the background, and Cassie says "This is a darling little town!" And I think wait... have you not seen The Goonies?!?!?
I've always wondered if Arnold's stubble in the beginning of this film was fake. Something about it just never looked real to me. Even as a kid.
That length would be more of a pain to fake than growing it for the shoot, it is too short to have a backing piece for the individual hairs to stick into for it to be more easily applied/removed daily, it being fake would be more plausible if it were a fuller beard. I think looking odd is more related to how highly groomed it is while trying to look disheveled.
@@SnowmanTF2 It's just "designer stubble", 3 days worth of growth or 3mm hair length.
@@SnowmanTF2seems easier to just let him go without shaving a week or 2, then on shooting days, just go over it with a set of barber clippers with a short guard.
I love Astoria so much, the Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, so many others filmed there, I need to visit!
My favorite scene is when he tunes up the abusive father.
It's one of mine too.
"You hit her, I hit you".
Another is when the principal asks, "What did it feel like to hit that son of a bitch?" He responds, "It felt great" and she responds, "Oh, yeeaahh".
Hits the right notes 🎼🎵🎶
You can't help but love Linda Hunt, she makes everything she is in so much better. She won an Oscar in 1983 for The Year Of Living Dangerously, where she played an Asian man. Arnold's partner Pamela Reed is also terrific in everything she's in, you might remember her from The Right Stuff playing Gordo Cooper's wife.
I was 25 when this came out, quite the departure for Arnold and all the action movies he did before and after! I remember liking it, but it's been so long I don't remember it. I'll be watching along with you Cassie! Have fun!
I met Dominic (real name Chris) years ago at a party my g/f at the time invited me to. We're about the same age, in our mid 20s. A bit reserved. Unfortunately for him, I happen to be pretty good at Arnold impressions. So after a few drinks I ended up yelling out a bunch of Arnie noises and phrases: "DOMINIICCCC!!! TAKE MY HAND AND WE GET TO THE CHOPPAAA!!!". He didn't exactly find it as hilarious as we did. Good times.
This was filmed in Astoria while I was in college there. The studio did a surprisingly good job getting most of the city and the school on their side by giving them the final word on almost everything.They filmed after school hours so many of the students and teachers could be extras. And there were a lot of meetings before they shot the final exterior scenes at the school with the fire department. (the inside action was filmed at the studio)
Astoria was super charming. Still is. That was a major filming location there for a while. I think the Ring Two and Prom Night were the last ones I remember being filmed there.
Dont forget The Goonies
This is one of those movies you remember fondly as being generally good wholesome entertainment where you forget some of the more edgy in your face intensity… this was helped by the tv broadcasts that edit out the “rougher” moments for time and a “safe for broadcast tv” viewing..
Pretty Woman has similar moments where scenes that dont align with its “breezy, fairy tale” moments were often edited out and forgotten..
A great movie and source for Arnold Quotes
The principal is Lunda Hunt mostly known for her role as Shadout Mapes in Dune and the bar owner in Silverado. The bad guy in this was the good guy in the series Hardball btw.
Seeing Cathy Moriarty in this movie reminded me of a movie called "Soapdish" that is pretty funny and has a great cast. Also "Adventures in Babysitting" for a good laugh if you havent seen. Great reaction as usual and props to your editor for getting this out! Best reaction channel!! 👍
Penelope Ann Miller was in Adventures in Babysitting too.
@@jettqk1 omg I totally forgot that!
Cassie needs to see Soapdish! Sally Fields is usually not seen in this kind of over-the-top comedy and she is great, and Kevin Kline is the standout in an all-star cast.
Would be a Raging Bulll after this GORGEOUSNESS!
Astoria is a real small town on the northwest Oregon coast. It is every bit as charming and picturesque as the movie portrays it to be.
Been a very long time since I've seen this movie so I have a whole new perspective on the narrative. The story is actually really poignant. There's a lot of layers to this movie and it's executed quite well.
4:40 -- RE: "I'm the Party Poo-Pah."; Second funniest line in this film, with the winner, of course, being "It's Naht A Tumah!" Tommy Wiseau, eat ur heart out.
Great movie!! "Its not a tumor!!" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
If you enjoy this Twins should definitely be on your list! :D
Lmao!! I love how he just man handles her while shes sick! 🤣😂🤣😂
The creepy mother was brilliantly played by a very beautiful & somewhat legendary 1950's & 60's actress; Carroll Baker. Her best role, imo, was in the western classic "The Big Country" costarring fellow icons Gregory Peck & Charlton Heston (Ben Hur). She's now 92 & retired.
This is going to be a good time!
I was sooo young the 1st time I saw this film! Great memories!
The ending could bring a tear to a glass eye.
This movie will always be special to me, it's the last movie I saw at the theater, with my Dad he passed the following year. I miss you Dad😞 But on a happy note this movie is very funny! 😁
I watched this a lot with my dad too. I was 12 when this came out, but it sure was a staple movie at home. He still quotes it a lot. My dad is still around, but who knows for how much longer. I'm glad you also got to enjoy this movie with your dad. ❤
@@jaeladarlingtrailers That's awesome! I'm glad your Dad is still around, enjoy your time with him as long as you can
Im a behavioral health technician & currently I work with a 6 year old (1st grade) & this movie resonates with me a ton when im in the classrooms with these kids. Its true.....you cannot turn your back on them & the amount of patience it takes is a real thing. Without it....forget it. Ive always loved this movie but it means so much more to me now that i do what i do for a living. Its hard and draining at times.....but i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. Its very rewarding when you finally have a break through with them & they start to understand. Thanks for this one Cassie.
I always thought the ”put the cookie down, now!!” line from Jingle All The Way would’ve been funnier in this movie
He almost hits that kind of moment with the boy eating lunches. "Put those lunches down!" would have fit great!
