I think of it not so much as alternate future, as a dark force that he's released into the world. The whole movie works on cartoon logic, but the bounty hunter is the closest thing to being supernatural. He sees him in his nightmares and almost seems to manifest him into being, and in the end, he has to destroy him.

There are many theories about Smalls and the matching tattoos. I think Smalls represents Hi's criminal nature. There is a scene when John Goodman says that what Hi is saying goes against his _real nature_ and then there is an immediate cut to Smalls's motorcycle, so I take inspiraton from that. Also, Hi dreams of Smalls and says he is pure evil and that somehow he feels he brought him into the world. Hi blowing him up in the end (and somehow flying 20 feet in one blow) I took as him overcoming that crimninal streak within him. Other theories are that Small's is Hi's father (or a brother separated from him in childhood) or that he is what Nathan Jr,. would have become if raised by Ed and Hi.

I can't believe how hard I laughed watching your reaction. "Riley! You take that diaper off of your head, you put it back onto your sister!" Gotta be one of the all-time funniest lines in any movie. I think I'm gonna have to see your full-length reaction to this one. Normally I just prefer the edited version, especially if it's a film I've already seen many times, like this one. I am a life-long Coen Brothers fan. I wish I could tell you what to see next, but it's hard to be sure what you'd like the most. So I guess I'll recommend "Miller's Crossing" which is an old-timey gangster film that was the one they made right after "Raising Arizona". I love this movie, but "Miller's" sits comfortably among my all-time favorites like "Back to the Future" and "Goodfellas". Also, one of their more off-the-beaten-path movies is "The Man Who Wasn't There" starring Billy Bob Thornton. It doesn't get talked about as much as some of their films, but it's another favorite of mine. I'm delighted by your reaction, so glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. And I agree, Hi's dream at the end was definitely premonitory. But I don't think they had to move to Utah to make it come true!

There are moments in this that remind of Sam Raimi's style. The Coen Brothers co-wrote the script for Raimi's early film Crimewave. Raimi also worked on the script for the Coen Bros film The Hudsucker Proxy. Joel Coen worked as an editing assistant on the original Evil Dead. Raimi was actually working on Evil Dead 2 while this film was being made. I think it's clear that some of Raimi's style may have rubbed off on the Coen Bros, at least for this film.

This was the Coen's second film and is such a great movie. There's not a wasted moment in here. As you said, Holly Hunter and Nic Cage work very well together in this. Trey Wilson played Nathan Arizona (Sr.) and did a great job, too. He's also very good in Bull Durham. Unfortunately he died at age 41. Your next Coen Bros. movie should be Blood Simple, their first. Excellent noir movie. Frances McDormand is in that, too.

Even though he seems perfect for their movies, and he kills it in this flick, the Coens didn't make another movie with Cage because he adlibbed too much, and they are sticklers for adhering to their scripts and direction.

I started your video thinking I had seen every Coen brothers' movie aside from Blood Simple but apparently I've never seen Raising Arizona and had to stop your video to go and watch the actual movie. God it's good, it's very much a Coen brothers film. Anyway I finished it and immediately came back here to watch your review. That's twice I've watched a whole movie just so I could then watch your reaction to it lol

I have seen this movie hundreds of times since I was a kid...Like me and my sisters knew every line...It is sooo under the radar...I think besides the movie Valley Girl, it was the first movie I saw Nick Cage in. Great reaction, you guys didn't miss a thing!

This is one of those rare movies that had me roaring with laughter one moment, recoiling in horror the next, and weeping like a baby by the end.

This is definitely a one of a kind film. It is just so good. It's my second-favorite Coen Brothers movie. I would recommend "O, Brother Where Art Thou?". That one's my favorite.

Christmas came early! a Raising Arizona reaction from TBR Schmitt! Something you never knew you wanted until you got it realizing then you have always wanted it.

This movie has my favourite comedy piece of dialogue ever: Evelle “Balloons! These blow up into funny shapes and all?” Clerk “Well, no…..unless round is funny”

@leegend3004 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely love Raising Arizona, easily my favourite of the Coens films. All the actors in this top of their game especially Cage and Hunter, it is one of those films that you just never seem to stop smiling through no matter how many times you watch it, glad you both enjoyed it and this sits nicely with The Big Lebowski as the Coens best movies👌

I know you guys would love this movie as much as I have over the years. ------ Oh and this is my moms favorite movie as well. We would sit and watch this at least once a year for a decade until our VCR broke and we never got it on DVD. ------------- No matter how many times, I see this movie, I crack up at John Goodman and his brother giving hyde that wholesome life advice. ----- Oh and of course the epic Huggies chase scene. "Hold on honey, I'll be back directly."

One of my all-time favorite films! Fun little-known fact: the character of the Mexican gardner that ends up in the chase, appeared in a Keanu Reeves comedy in 1988, called "The Night Before", his first line as Reeves flags him down in the middle of the night, is "Oh-no, not again..."! 🤣 Two more Coen brothers films for 'ya: "Miller's Crossing", and "O-Brother, Where Art Thou". 🙂
