Judgment Night: The Ultimate 90s Action Thriller

Рет қаралды 21,867

Ай бұрын

It’s a story we’ve all heard before. A group of friends stray off the beaten path and end up having to fight for their lives. This has served as the set-up for many classic horror films and thrillers. Back in the early ‘90s, director Stephen Hopkins used it as the set-up for an action movie that has an awesome cast. Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven, and Stephen Dorff play the friends fighting to survive. Denis Leary is the leader of the criminal gang out for their blood. Unfortunately, not a lot of people went to see the movie when it was released… but they did make the soundtrack a hit. The movie is called Judgment Night, and it’s time for it to be Revisited.

This is such an Underrated Film. Great aesthetic. Fun characters. The rooftop scene with Piven & Leary is brilliant. And of course hands down the Best Soundtrack ever.

This is one of my favorite early 90s action flicks. I've owned the old VHS tape and watched it several times back in the days.When a remastered Blu-ray came out a few years ago, I snatched it up real fast. If you're a fan of this film, you need to get that disc, the picture and sound quality are top notch.

@Glasskey10 22 күн бұрын

This movie has one of my all-time favorite dialogue exchanges (just going purely on memory, not having seen this movie in a while)... Denis Leary hands a kid money that literally has blood on it. The kid recoils and goes, "This money has blood on it." And Denis Leary answers, "Ever see money that didn't?" Perfect wording and delivery.

@guiltybyproxy1 Ай бұрын

What an absolutely dope movie. I've been telling anyone who will listen for years to watch this, and no one has seen it. Unbelievable. My best friend and I bought the soundtrack when it dropped and I still have my CD from when I was a kid. Great movie, great soundtrack.

Also thanks to this movie, as a kid I remember learning how to keep my hands warm if I'm in a cold environment. When Cuba Gooding Jr. blows his breath on his hands, and rubs them together. Weird how childhood memories work!!!

This was a great movie, I remember when I saw it when it first came out and then I forgot the damn name of it for like 10 years and finally remembered it and watched it a 2nd and 3rd time. It is one of those movies that you can watch once a year or something and enjoy yourself. I have not seen anyone else do a review of this movie on You Tube, thanks for sharing this video, I hope more people go out and watch this movie after your quick review.

@RamboYT1818 Ай бұрын

I was actually fortunate enough to go see this movie in theaters and enjoyed. Part of what makes judgement night so dope is that it works great for the specific 90s era. I like how it plays out like a low key horror movie with a traditional action movie theme as well as the classic normal suburban guy turned brave hero twist to it. There’ll always be hidden gems like these that proves not every quality movie is meant to be a mega blockbuster hit.

@astrostar49 Ай бұрын

Damn I haven't seen this in YEARS. I remember first watching it as a kid in the 90's when it hit HBO. I really need to go back, and watch it. It definitely feels like a film of it's time, and being an early 90's kid I need to get my nostalgic fix every once in a while. Thanks for spotlighting this underrated gem.

Back in 2001, my best friend and I were doing a weekend trip in Austin when we got lost one night and ended up in VERY shady part of the city. Like the time this movie took place in (1994), GPS still wasn't a thing yet, so we had to drive around and figure out how to get back to our original route. While driving, my friend made a comment that all we needed was "Denis Leary to suddenly appear wearing a black trench coat and screaming 'no witnesses!'" I remember looking at him and said "did you just make a Judgment Night reference??" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I worked in a record store when this album came out and it was huge!. I grabbed a copy because I was a Pearl Jam fan, but the song sucks so I donated my copy to the used bin and I’m sure it sold fast. It wasn’t long after that we received the promo only vinyl copies of NIN - The Downward Spiral and that held me over until Killing Joke’s Pandemonium…. Great memories. My teenage years can literally be recalled through music and movie release dates.

Interesting Trivia: This film originally was supposed to schedule in late summer of 1993. Universal decided to switched its release date with John Woo's first American Film "Hard Target", which was also produced by Universal. This film ended up releasing in October of that year instead. In retrospective, I think the studio should consider changing the name of this movie; naming this movie "Judgment Night" just merely 2 years after Terminator 2 might not be a very good idea'; some audiences might not take this movie very seriously. I remember some audiences did laugh at its title when they were watching the trailer of this movie in a movie theater.
