2023-02-18 02:55:58 +0000 UTCI always thought of this movie as a parody of action movies, it's so over the top.

2022-12-19 16:11:47 +0000 UTCThe last big 90s action movie you still need to see is Face/Off! It's totally up there with True Lies, The Matrix and The Long Kiss Goodnight.

2022-12-15 17:59:32 +0000 UTCYou guys have to do The Last Boy Scout, another criminally underrated action movie. Love your reactions!

2022-12-15 03:59:34 +0000 UTCThere's a writing paradigm called thesis/antithesis/synthesis (which is itself drawn from Hegelian Dialectics, but writers will steal stuff from anywhere) that is perfectly encapsulated in this movie, which I only noticed when I rewatched it just now. We begin with Samantha (thesis, status quo) who becomes Charly in the second act (antithesis) and then finally Sam at the end (synthesis). She even has a hairstyle at the end combining Samantha and Charly's styles. Just some great attention to detail at a craft level, especially for an actioner about an amnesiac spy. Thanks for watching this one!

2022-12-13 11:34:39 +0000 UTCI know Iโm late to the party, but this is one of the most underrated action movies of all time! Shane Black never gets enough credit with his unique style and dialogue. Both Geena and SLJ had great chemistry and were perfect in their respective roles. There was suppose to be a sequel titled, The Kiss After Lightning, but it never got off the ground for whatever reason. I know SLJ and Renny Harlin are interested in the script, but Geena is semi-retired and donโt know if she would reprise her role โน๏ธ A solid 10/10!

2022-12-13 05:32:58 +0000 UTCA pity it won't be a reaction. It's almost as if you two have private lives where you just watch stuff. Sacrilege!

2022-12-11 16:11:28 +0000 UTCYou guys should react to Wednesday, the show about Wednesday Addams of the Addams family. It's really good.

Philip Davetas
2022-12-11 05:32:03 +0000 UTCAs I recall the parallels were with The Matrix. I remember I saw The Thirteenth Floor when it hit video, after having seen The Matrix in the theater three times, and on video a half dozen more. I still thought The Thirteenth Floor was great, and it was kind of sad that it was so over shadowed by The Matrix.

Steve Mercier
2022-12-11 05:02:51 +0000 UTCSo be honest, TBR Schmitt... are you looking at your wife the same after this. She is called Samantha, if that is her real name. ;P
Vwlss Nvwls
2022-12-11 05:02:23 +0000 UTCThis has been one of my favorite action movies since the first time I saw it in 1998. My friend and I could not believe we had not heard more about it before we rented it, but we watched it again the next day before we returned it. And yes, that final kill with the Christmas lights has been one of the most amazing scenes in an action movie. :D
Vwlss Nvwls
2022-12-11 05:00:08 +0000 UTCIt's funny that you mix this up with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, given, as you can see from the comments, that movie was also written (and directed) by Shane Black. He's actually the reason both are Christmas movies -- anything he writes (Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3, and The Nice Guys) is set at Christmas because he loves it. I agree with Sam that Geena Davis is so awesome in this movie. I got my Blu-ray copy of the movie autographed by her and Craig Bierko (Timothy), and next year I'm going to get Sam Jackson on it as well. This is definitely also Renny Harlin's best movie. Die Hard 2 is fine and all, and Cliffhanger is pretty good, but this one is the one I come back to over and over again. It's just so funny and action-packed. Glad you guys loved it.
Tyler Foster
2022-12-11 04:47:52 +0000 UTCBrian Cox is always great. Even his small amount of time in this, he created an unforgettable character.

2022-12-11 03:35:39 +0000 UTCLooking forward to Magnum Force!
Mike Tocci
2022-12-11 02:51:03 +0000 UTCMy mom and I used to use tge quote about the dog licking his butt whenever any of our dogs did that. It was just whoever caught them doing it. Like I'd be in the living room then hear my mom in the kitchen, "You've been licking your butt for 3 hours now."
Donna Castellano
2022-12-11 02:28:08 +0000 UTCDemolition Man kinda suffered the same fate, with the action genre winding down the way it was mid-90s.
Donna Castellano
2022-12-11 02:25:03 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite Craig Bierko movies is The Thirteenth Floor (1999). Its a fun sci-fi/drama/mystery movie. It was dismissed quite a bit because of some parallels to another movie that came out that year. I won't say, so I don't drop any spoilers should you decide to watch it.
Donna Castellano
2022-12-11 02:23:10 +0000 UTCOh yes The Last Boy Scout definitely needs to be on the list!!!
Demos Samolis
2022-12-11 02:21:43 +0000 UTCFantastic choice with movies. Renny Harlin also did Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger as well as A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. hes pretty awesome with his creativity in movies. I love that you guys pick these hidden gems from 80s and 90s. I would definitely recommend some others that dont get much love or watch on patreon or youtube like "From Dusk Till Dawn" with George Clooney or "Weekend at Bernies"
Demos Samolis
2022-12-11 02:11:58 +0000 UTCI really dig Kathryn Bigelow a lot. I love NEAR DARK and POINT BREAK. HURT LOCKER is amazing too. I'll have to revisit STRANGE DAYS.
Philip Davetas
2022-12-11 01:44:49 +0000 UTCThis has been a favorite of mine for ages! Geena Davis is such an unbelievable bamf in this. Btw, for follow-ups to this awesomeness, I have to recommend Cutthroat Island. It's stars Geena and Matthew Modine during yo-ho-ho pirate days. ... YEAH. <3 Also in the same vein, I've got to recommend the movie Strange Days, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. It's got not one but *two* amazing female leads in Angela Bassett and Juliette Lewis, along with Ralph Fiennes, who's really excellent in this one (and Tom Sizemore!). It's not what I'd call action-y, like this one, but it definitely has some suspense elements to it. I'd say it's more like... sci-fi noir, like Blade Runner, maybe? Yeah, this is my favorite movie of all time so can't recommend it highly enough.

2022-12-11 00:45:56 +0000 UTCBuh, da, da, dump! TBR Schmitt and Samantha Buh, da, da, dump! Gettin' on up this mothafucka! Buh, da, da, dump! I love this flick so much. Thanks for doing this.
Philip Davetas
2022-12-11 00:39:18 +0000 UTCSuch a fun movie with a great duo! Sucks that Geena Davis kinda dropped off after the 90s , but I read a profile on her not too long ago and apparently she's doing well. Also, that part where Samantha provides cover for Mitch with the sniper rife has had to have been a level in more than a few video games lol. Edit: I skimmed over the profile again. It's in The New Yorker. She said that either Samantha in this film or Thelma in 'Thelma and Louise' is her favorite character. Fun fact: That story about the WTC bombing in 1993 and how one of the guys responsible was able to come to the US because the CIA got him a visa. That totally happened. He had helped fight the Soviets in Afghanistan so the visa was his reward. He was on a terror watch list but a "computer error" allowed him to get a visa and I guess an even bigger "computer error" allowed him to get a green card a year later.
Jeffrey Miller
2022-12-11 00:19:33 +0000 UTCYasssss. Cutthroat Island next right? Geena Davis & Renny Harlin again!
Odd Thomas
2022-12-10 23:13:08 +0000 UTCMe tuning in to the Schmitt channel to watch a nice festive movie and get in to the Christmas spirit ๐ ๐๐๐โ Presses play* to hear Sam casually talking about dismembering children ๐ฎ๐ณ That was a super enjoyable reaction to a badass Christmas action movie Timothy is the perfect movie villain,utterly ruthless with zero fucks given
Duncan
2022-12-10 22:58:23 +0000 UTCOh man this was so much fun to watch with you guys. Awesome! Mitch is absolutely one of the best Samuel L. Jackson characters. I forgot how funny he was in this movie. Yes, I'm a Mormon. That's a duck not a dick! So this movie sadly wasn't successful at the time. I think it was because this kind of over the top Arnold/Bruce Willis action movie was going out of fashion in the mid-90s and smaller indie movies like Pulp Fiction and Fargo were coming in. But The Long Kiss Goodnight is such a fun rewatchable, and it's a shame they didn't do more. Geena Davis was married to the director Renny Harlin a the time (he also directed Cliffhanger and Die Hard 2), but they divorced and that was it for the character. But c'mon! At least make more movies with Mitch! At least think about it while Mitch is thinking about how much his balls hurt.
Ellie Miller
2022-12-10 22:53:39 +0000 UTCOne of my wife's favorite Christmas movies. Sam Jackson and Geena Davis are fire, one of Shane Blacks funniest scripts next to The Last Boy Scout and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but the real standout for me is Brian Cox. Small though his role is, he steals every scene is in, whether it's his remarks on the dog licking it's butt or the benefits of hiding a gun in your crotch or his comments on Mitch's intellect and drawing skills. "Yes, it was very exciting...and tomorrow we go to the zoo..."
Steven Montano
2022-12-10 22:46:18 +0000 UTCSamuel Jackson says this is his most favorite role of all the movies he's done and I can see why. It looks like he had a lot of fun playing Mitch. And finally a reaction to this! Sam and Dan score big again! โ๐
Mr. Writhms
2022-12-10 22:27:12 +0000 UTCSaving this for Sunday and can't wait Samuel Jackson is great as always and geena Davies is fantastic, would I consider this a Christmas movie ? Yes but not like elf or the snowman that's for sure lol
