"His daddy ain't 💩!!!" James Garner, the OG TV Maverick, playing Bret's dad, is some great legacy casting. And it makes everything he does to and for Bret better in future watches.

"Hello, noble savage." Graham Greene is my favorite part of this movie.

One of the few movies based on a TV series that matches the actual heart and style of the show it was based on

Seeing Jodie at the poker table - the moment my 11 year old self knew I was straight.

The absolute pettiness level all through this movie is perfection.

This film is such an underrated, slept on classic.

So underrated. So hilarious. Mel is the GOAT.

Alfred Molina, the bad guy you kept recognizing was also Doc Octopus in the Spider-Man movies. I first saw him in Raiders of the Lost Ark. He's a brilliant actor.

James Garner played Maverick for years on TV. Very popular actor. He also co-starred in The Notebook. Mel was wonderful! I have fond memories of watching this one with my mom.

James Garner who plays Marshall Zane Cooper (Maverick's father) is the actor who played Maverick in the old '50s-'60s TV show on which this movie is based. And if you like movies with twists set in the old west, BIG HAND FOR A LITTLE LADY. is the absolute best.

I love the Mel Gibson - Danny Glover Lethal Weapon reunion in the bank robbery scene; right down to the theme music cues. "I'm getting too old for this sh!t"

"And Danny Glover knees showed up " ... LOL!!! That is so funny, I LOVE THIS MOVIE !

Man in the Iron mask! Starring Leonardo di Caprio. No one else has reacted to it! 👀

I always call this movie Chemistry 101. The scenes between Mel, James, and Jodie are pure gold. I also love this vision of the west as essentially being nothing but con artists trying to rip each other off. Awesome. Oh, and Graham Greene is bloody brilliant. Chief Joseph is too funny for words. By the way, James Garner starred in one of history's great television series, The Rockford Files, back in the seventies. His character, Jim Rockford, is absolutely fantastic.

Maverick to me is like the movie Tremors. A really well made film that you can watch always again and again and it is still fun and great. :)

Johnny Hardin, the gunfighter from the first poker game was a real historical person and very deadly. His full name was John Wesley Hardin and was considered one of the deadliest outlaws in history. That's why Maverick dropped his chips in shock when he heard the name...

My favorite scene is when he gets together with his Indian buddies and fakes his demise. That makes me laugh so hard. Everybody cheats everybody 😂❤

Great movie, and if I remember right, Waylen Jennings had a brief appearance on here, I think as the guy on a ferry who drops his gun, but tries say it belongs to the woman standing next to him.

I love this movie so damn much. Funny, clever, and a great fk'ing cast!! ❤️

Never seen "Maverick" before. Was not prepared for that Graham Greene sequence, not at all. Nearly fell off my chair when the one and only "Kicking Bird" entered the scene... Casting Greene for that part in "Maverick" was genius.

I loved Maverick as a kid. It was so funny and fun. I haven't seen it in ages. The cast was stellar!

Mel definitely has some of the best comedic timing. Love when he makes comedies

Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazzard jumping off the boat. "Thank you Mr. Coop". 🤣

I had a rule at my LAN parties back in the day, if you fell asleep on the floor, you got the Clippy clip. After a few bad haircuts, NOBODY fell asleep at my LAN parties.

If JL wants to see a great western with amazing scenery, he should watch "The Searchers." Best western ever made.

James Garner starred in MULTIPLE TV shows called "Maverick" starting in 1957 and going to the late 70s, right up until westerns died (I did have to look this up).

I love this movie, it's just clever, and I'm a poker junkie, biggest tournament I did was 150 people, the only tournament I ever took first in, was an incredible moment. My boys dad won the wsop years and years ago, I got to see the bracelet, so very cool. I just love the game so much and somehow got pretty good at it.

Unforgiven, tombstone, and maverick all one after another! Great time for watching movies at the theaters.

My dad never went to many movies, but we did go see this together.

LOVED that Danny Glover had a cameo and the music from Lethal Weapon playing when they looked at each other 😂🤣🤣

Ohh shizz! Maverick. It’s an all timer underrated and I’m getting some popcorn. You the man.

Danny Glover’s (Murtaugh) cameo was the best! Killed me. 😂😂😂 “Oh, I’m too old for this shit!” 😤

31:55 It's Alfred Molina. You may remember him from such films as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" ("Adiós, señor!") and the "Spider-Man" franchise (Dr. Octopus).

I remember it like it was yesterday the audience reaction in the theatre that moment when Mel comes face to masked face with the bank robber, who is clearly Danny Glover, they stop to look at each other breaking the fourth wall, then resume running from the law where Danny clearly says, 'I'm too old for this shit!!!' Gradial trickles of delayed laughter as pockets of audience catch on to what's going on, then big laugh, Glover says iconic line, wild applause. It helps Richard Donner who directed this movie also directed all four of the Lethal Weapons. I think he had an 'in' with these two guys.

"My old pappy always used to say: There is no more deeply satisfying religious experience... than cheatin' on a cheater." "I never said that once. You've been misquoting me all your life." "What, we're going to quibble over fine points?" "You never even get close. Give me some credit." Fun Fact: The first film released on Kodak's EXR 2386 polyester print stock. Not A Remake Fact: James Garner, who plays Zane Cooper, was the original Bret Maverick in Maverick (1957). So this movie is a sequel to the original series. Poker Enthusiast Fact: In the final scene Maverick (Mel Gibson) shows his cards one at a time; this is called "slow-rolling" and is a big breach of table etiquette in poker, even in modern times. Cameos Cameos Fact: Reba McEntire is an extra in the opening poker scene of the movie. Margot Kidder is Margret Mary, one of the pilgrims robbed of their mission money. The film's cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond appears as landscape painter Albert Bierstadt. Charlie Brown Fact: Jodie Foster's character's gracelessness in the film stems from the first scene she shot, when she waited for Mel Gibson to help her down from the stagecoach. Instead, he took her parasol and walked away. She tried to get down alone, and flopped to the ground. Director Richard Donner liked it so much that he kept the shot in the film, and staged more scenes of Foster stumbling, being dumped through windows, etc.

37:10 -- That hidden spy in the background is hilarious! 😁

One of the great modern Westerns.Right up there with Tombstone. Great humor and casting. LOVE that it's a movie that continues from the original James Garner Maverick series.

"Let me tell you, the Lord would'a been mad at me today". LOL

Danny Glovers like Cedric the Entertainer "he's beinging bow legs back" 😅

that knowing expression at 22 33 says everything

This was a favorite movie of mine and my father's. We always enjoyed watching it together. He grew up watching the original series.

Danny Glover: "I'm getting too old for this sh!t".

James Garner was the original Maverick in the 60s TV series! He also had a series in the late 70s "Rockford Files" He was a popular actor in his days, may he RIP! This was a great, clever, fun movie! One of my favorites!

24:26 This actor has played a US American Indian in a ton of movies but he's actually Canadian.

Piece of trivia you might be interested in: The original TV series was supposed to be a serious western and the first 2 episodes were just that. While filming the 3rd episode, they had an elaborate fight scene still to shoot, but they were running out of daylight and it was the last day of filming. Someone got the brilliant idea to throw everyone into a nearby cornfield. They filmed cornstalks waving to sounds of "Oof!" and "Smack!" and the like. Every few seconds someone would be thrown out of the cornfield an address the people watching with a silly or witty comment and then dive back in to the cornfield to fight some more. Audiences loved it so much that they decided to keep the comedic irreverent tone through the rest of the series. It's what it became known for. If they hadn't have done that, we might have been watching a brutally serious remake instead of the fun, crazy film that we got.

This movie is a who’s who of westerns and country music. Even the stage driver played Wishbone on the old Rawhide series. 😂 By the time they got to the boat, almost every new face was someone recognizable. So much fun just seeing how many you can put a name to.

Well done for being the first to react to the forgotten gem. It's great fun and the cameo is just perfect. Hope to see other reactors pick up on it.

Alfred Molina was also in Raiders of the Lost Ark. "Throw me the idol señor!"

The Indian guy has been a lot of movies, but he was the first prisoner that was executed in The Green Mile

Not only do I look like Jodie Foster, I sound like her too with that southern draw. 😂 Thanks JL and Blank.

This movie is based on the TV show of the same name starring James Gardner ( 4/7/1928-7/19/2014 who played Zane Cooper) .

James Garner played Maverick in the original TV series, he also played Jim Rockford in "The Rockford Files".

Mel had one of the all-time great runs of great movies in a row on top of the Lethal Weapon series and Mad Max trilogy. You still have buried treasures of forgotten Mel gems to unearth just waiting. Payback 1999 Conspiracy Theory 1998 Bird On A Wire 1989 Tequila Sunrise 1988

The guy you said you recognized several times is Alfred Molina. He played Dr Octopus in Spiderman 2 and Spiderman-No Way Home. Also James Garner who is playing Marshal Cooper was the original Maverick in the tv series in the late 1950’s-early 60’s. **edit** sorry I posted this half way through the reaction before you figured it out. 😂

All the country stars at that poker table was awesome. Even some old Tv cowboys. Great reaction

I love this movie. I remember seeing it as a kid, I didn't understand a lot of it but I appreciate it so much more as an adult and just seems better every time I see it. Classic comedy.

Dude That Guy who plays Angel? That’s a Young Alfred Molina! He was Dr. octopus in Spider-Man 2. 2004.

Love this movie. Saw it with my dad. He is a fan of the TV show. He actually called James Garner being Maverick's dad.

Awesome Classic...... The Spanish Gentlemen Angel you can't place is "Alfred Molina" He played "Doc Oc" in the Spiderman Movies, and was the "Throw me the Idol" guy in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Chief Joseph is played by Graham Greene is also in "Dances with Wolves" Alot of the "Background" poker players were actors from 60's TV Westerns and Country Music, including: The Guy with the cards up his sleeve is Clint Black, Country Music Artist, He actually sings the song in the Background (Good Run of Bad Luck)..... The White Haired/Beared Gentleman is Denver Pyle, "Uncle Jesse" from TV's "Dukes of Hazard"...... The couple with the Gun was Kathy Matea (Country Singer) and Waylon Jennings (Country Singer)........

Always found it really funny seeing "Uncle Jesse" get caught and thrown overboard. That was more a" Boss Hogg" kinda thing to do

Mavericks father in This movie was actually the original Maverick from the TV show

As a kid I got to stay up late once a week to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation with my parents. However, one time my parents were both working an early shift and so they left me before the end of the episode. I assured them I’d put myself to bed…but I didn’t. Because this film started immediately after the TNG episode and as soon as I heard that old timey western music I knew I had to watch it!! It was only like the third film non kids film I’d ever seen and it was a magical experience. It’s never lost that childhood joy for me and I’m delighted to see you watching it.

Hey I'm on time for once :) Looking forward to this! On meeting Danny Glover - that gave breaking the fourth wall a whole new definition. Hilarious :D

OMG...that story about putting your friend to sleep with the lullaby was hilarious.

“Danny Glover’s knees showed up!”

I used to rewatch every time it was on cable. Very tight and entertaining movie.

One of the coziest most delightful movies ever made. Look at that dog of yours bro... he's like Maverick himself!

The old man who jumped off the ferry played uncle Jesse in THE DUKES OF HAZARD

That's Alfred Molina Doc Ock

Fun fact: The jackpot in the tournament would be worth just under $17 million today.

"Bark" "Oh you didn't know" LOL 🤣

Unfortunately I will be asleep. It’s been a really annoying day with my work and I’m pooped.😢 I will have to catch the video in the morning.

This was the first movie I had seen Alfred Molina in back when this came out.

Ive seen this movies dozens of times and never realized it was Alfred Molina. I know him way back from Species days. Knew who he was by the time he showed up in Spiderman 2, yet whole time didnt recognize him in Maverick until today. Right when you said "who is that the first time i was "Holy shit i didnt know that was him" Thats acting skill.

At 23:00 you totally missed to censor yourself and that card randomly next to your face cracked me the fuck up lmaooo

This is one of my all-time favorite movies!

33:02 that’s Dan Hedaya. 33:09 the one with the gun is Clint Black who sang the song “Good Run of Bad Luck” that was playing in the background. 33:30 that gun holder was Denver Pyle who played Uncle Jesse in the “Dukes of Hazzard” tv series in the late 70s early 80s. 33:54 Alfred Molina who played Doc Ock in “Spider-Man”, he was in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, he was in “Boogie Nights”, “The Da Vinci Code”, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” with Nicolas Cage, many other movies, tv shows and animated voiceovers. 35:35 this couple are country music artists Kathy Mattea and Outlaw singer Waylon Jennings 38:26 look how cool Maverick was he gave the Commodore money to stay in the game cause he didn’t have enough to call the hand. 39:22 see they can’t say that Maverick switched that card cause Angel slid it over to him and it stayed on the table until he picked it up to show them. Gotta love the way Maverick revealed that Ace. 40:19 remember majority of people don’t have guns cause they weren’t allowed. 42:06 no cause Maverick would’ve gotten the money back and the Commodore would have to find someone to hire to rob Maverick 43:59 did you notice how Coop’s left gun was reversed that was set for Maverick to use it. 45:06 I wish they would’ve done a sequel where they chased Annabelle for their money. You should check a couple episodes of the tv show “Maverick” where James Garner plays the role of Bret Maverick. Look at James Garner in other movies like “Space Cowboys” with Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland (who just passed away yesterday). Another movie he’s in is “My Fellow Americans” with Jack Lemmon. There’s also two older movies called “Support Your Local Sheriff” & “Support Your Local Gunfighter”. They both star James Garner and Harry Morgan

I dont know how i never realized the danny glover part...wiith the lethal weapon music

Danny Glover was only 41 when he first said he was getting too old for this shit.

YESS!!! One of my all time favorite movies!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

GREAT CHOICE, Jay! You did good again! Can’t wait to watch you laugh your butt off. Give those co-pilots a hug for me, brother. I’m love you lots! Paul

Happy Belated Born Day Blank! Great choice in movie and entertainment from the Murda Whistle & Co Pilots.

It's amazing watching JL become a refined cinephile

Danny Glover was only 41 when he said he was too old for this shit

James garner was the original maverick in the TV show 70s

So.....the guy helping Danny Glover rob the bank was Country music star Hal Ketcham. The first "cheater" tossed off the boat was another country star...Clint Black, who's song was being played during the scene. Love this movie. It was a great suggestion by your buddy.

James Garner was the original Bret Maverick in the tv series Maverick.Bret had a brother and a cousin. Bart and Beau.

Graham Greene also voiced Rains Fall in Red Dead Redemption 2 was Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves and Mogi in Skins. Great movies he is also Oneida nation that is the little brother nation to us Mohawks.

Listen... lol...! If all you want for yer birthday is to watch a movie, you should get it. So thank god yer patreon members picked this in the poll. Woulda been cool if Blane (Blaine?) sat alongside with you, but that was a fun watchalong. Also, shout out to Donner's other cameo, Margot Kidder :D

We wear all those long sleeves and pants in the desert to keep the sun off our skin. Its actually much cooler

4:22 He's Dr Octopus

Fun Fact: The first guy to get caught and thrown off the steamboat was played by Clint Black, the country singer who sang the theme song for the movie. "A good run of bad luck." is the name of the song.

Doctor Octopus doesn't like when you won't look at your card!

Both the movie and the soundtrack are phenomenal. I miss these days!!!

Alfred Molina was Doctor Octopus in Spiderman 2 by Sam Raimi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLANK!!! LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!

I've been waiting for you to react to this for a while. It's one of my favorite movies

I watched this one in the cinema, when it came out. Great experience. So much fun.

2:59Yeah, it was so much more. 11:46 It's funny that they had that scene in this movie. :D 29:55 There is something about steamboats that makes me like them. 35:09 Taking off the clothes was the whole foreplay in those days :D 4:05 9:10 36:58 Jodie Foster looks beautiful and hot. 44:19 Damn right! :)

The older guy with the white beard forced to jump off the boat played Uncle Jessie in the original TV show The Dukes of Hazzard.
