I love it great reaction do major Payne

A Big Canadian "Cheers" to the Schmitts.... 🥃🍺🍷🍻 Y'all Rule. 👍☮❤

I have a friend who's good friends with Shane Black. She invited me to go to his house one time a few years ago. Really good guy. Talked to him about some of his movies and also how much I loved kiss kiss bang bang.

Thanks for all the work you do to get these videos out 🙂

Not a single ad.

the sky is blue, water's wet, women have secrets. who gives a fuck?

For the ones that don't know, Shane Black plays Hawkins in Predator

Endo..who has forgotten more about pain than you or I will ever know.

Good catch!

I figured that would be in this movie. Even as an kid watching this with my dad, I was a boy scout and I loved hearing that.

i didn't notice that til now.....& i worked at Blockbuster video in 1993. smh/ lol

That's Billy Blanks?? Wow. You learn something new every day.

Lol, I recognized him the moment I saw him onscreen in the theater when this came out back in the 90s. But then I was already familiar with his works in 80s films like "The King of Kickboxers" with Loren Avedon and "Bloodfist" with Don Wilson, way before he started the Taebo craze.

@@h2ohydrox Billy Blanks was a martial artist and did some 90s action movies, Tough and Deadly and Back in Action both with Roddy Piper. Good movies.

@@demonofelru3214 Haha! I remember always seeing that in my video shop! Never actually rented it, mind you.

Your baby?? 😬

Y'all forgot Damon Wayans in there too

@@malikabercrombie9513 Damon's character was kind of annoying tbh.

I believe you mean the ever gorgeous Danielle Harris.

Of course you do, so many people on KZfaq have “the feeling” that everything is underrated! What you just said has been said only a billion times. I don’t know if you people are living on another planet, or what but you need to get off of the false notion that everything is underrated.

@@nsasupporter7557 _Mostly_ I think you have a point - i've genuinely seen comments claiming movies are underrated when they were box office smashes, are in the 80s or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, even won frikkin' Oscars FFS !? "Underrated" sometimes seems to be Gen-Y/Z for "In my friend group not everyone likes/has seen it". Which, y'know, is dumb because the world is bigger than your friend group. BUT in this case I sort of get it - when people talk about great action movies, this often doesn't feature. Even when talking about great _Shane Black_ movies it's not always prominent. I've watched a bunch of reactions to the 'Die Hard' films for instance and to me this is an absolutely natural follow-on (a wise-cracking Bruce Willis action movie from the same era) and yet these are the first reactors I watch regularly that have seen it. So I dunno, maybe this one actually _is_ underrated ?

Heavily underrated

@@nsasupporter7557 but in this case he has a point. If not underrated then at least not mentioned enough as a “buddy cop” (even tho Wayans isn’t a cop) fun action flick

@@anonymes2884 thank you, I’m glad that you see what I’m talking about 🙂… the point is “underrated” has become this insanely popular word that so many people use every 2 seconds on KZfaq. People just use it mindlessly all the time even when it’s inaccurate and/or unnecessary. I know that I probably shouldn’t care that much, but when you see that word be used in almost every comment on KZfaq it’s understandable that you would bring it up how weird it is, not to mention annoying

@@Dave-hb7lx Yes, I knew all of that, but I didn't want to make my comment too long. 😂

​@44excalibur too late? 😂

I'll add to that...I used to work at Universal and did some projects with Dick Donner (director of the Lethal Weapon series and a bunch of other stuff). Shane Black co-wrote Lethal Weapon and he and Dick were fairly close. Black (and Warners) wanted Donner to direct The Last Boy Scout and sent him the first draft script but Dick was committed to another project and couldn't do it. A few weeks later before the Last Boy Scout went into production Donner was telling a bunch of us at dinner one night about the script and how insane it was. Donner shared one part of the script in particular with us. In the opening act where the football player shot his way into the end zone...before he shot himself...the line in the original script was, "I'm going to Disney World!" Needless to say Warner Brothers and Geffen insisted that that line be rewritten to what is on screen in the final cut sooner than fast.

This thread is my favorite comment section of all time for the simple fact that all the things I was going to bring up in mine, you not only beat me to the punch and already did, but everything you did bring up were all on point and accurate. Which is so gratifying and really refreshing. I remember when this came out, saw it opening night with my buddy who had converted his garage into a Bruce Willis shrine of posters and black n white movie stills. He called it his Fortress Of BruceAtude. But, we were aware of Shane Black big time and the fact Bruce would be saying Shane's snarky penned words seemed like a summit meeting treaty between these two super powers of cinema at the height of their powers. Going in that hyped up for a movie and then still having it exceed our expectations, all our senses and preconceived notions blown out the water right at the jump just from that opening football scene with Billy. Black wrote a purposefully over the top almost Kabuki-esque, borderline camp, grand opera level, attention grabber of a prologue meant to be an over-stylized heightened reality big 80's action opening even though it was '91 and the high hair, high hopes era party was over, the hangover that is Boy Scout is like waking up after a lost weekend bender and still punch drunk. You know what's coming and the inevitability of it all, but you somehow got a reprieve from the gods, a stay of execution before eventually the reaper, angel of death, Lucifer, Final Destination, The Furies, something's ultimately playing the long game and gonna catch up to your ass, wiping the books clean. But, by the grace of God and skin of your teeth, you got a grace period and extra set of downs before you take a knee to run out the clock. You get one more gift. Life is about those precious few moments of stolen joys. The last Boy Scout is that last 80's movie that arrived two years too late and when it was out of style and a craze released passed its time. All the reasons we loved it then and savored it in real time during its theatrical run all the more so for existing in the first place against long odds and even shorter attention spans and muscle memories for movie history. We came out of the theatre feeling slightly punch drunk from the neo-noir theme park ride that was the unholy collaboration of Scott, Black and real life Hollywood caricature coke-whore super-producer Joel Silver who never met a runaway troubled production he couldn't super-size and level up way worse ten-fold or creative differences he mastered the art of problem solving by invoking his signature move of doing even more rails of blow off his personal assistant's ass that just happened to be a helper monkey on loan from Universal. The magic of cinema, baby! I digress. If you ever read the original Lethal Weapon screenplay, there's a cut scene from the finished film in the script where Roger Murtaugh leans over to his sleeping daughter to kiss her on the head goodnight, but after he does, she sleep-moans her boyfriends name and, as Shane writes in the text, that was the exact moment Roger realized his baby girl was no longer a virgin. It was always a nice throw away moment for the character I liked and found memorable despite it never being filmed. So, it really made me go into a movie nerd fan frenzy back in '91 opening nite when watching Last Boy Scout and this moment was lifted wholesale from the Lethal script, repurposed for the Bruce character in this one with the exact same darkly hilarious payoff of our bad ass co-hero protagonist being just another horrified father. Everybody knows the Shane Black Christmas connectivity of all his movies and recurring theme of two seemingly irredeemable lost souls from opposite ends of a spectrum don't so much cross paths as head on a collision course toward the other and smash on impact. But, from that initial wreckage comes the most hard fought unlikeliest alliance of two souls shared by one locked in mutual madness that forge their own path in a world full of rocky roads, off the beaten path, with no direction but go, with no road to riches or easy street, but plenty of blind alleys and dead-ends, theirs is a journey where the high road's never taken, gettin' the hell outta Dodge like a bat outta hell, wind up just spinning your wheels, every time you wind up going round the bend, you always just end up right back where you start, that's when you start to go and think outside the box, try and reinvent the wheel, but did you trade your mobius strip for a hamster wheel, just another cog in the machine, is this the cycle of life, just a series of wrap arounds, u-turns and double-backs, detours morph into wrong way turns, and manifest destinies all a fate worse than death, lives blow past the points of no return, the open road to the great beyond, is really a vanishing point to the Blvd of broken dreams our last stop, memory lane is just a dead end street, the scenic route set to random shuffle, but stuck on repeat, this slow motion car crash happening at the speed of hell, this reality show I call life feels like a crime scene that's been staged, every Live event we have feels choreographed and rehearsed, anything new with a modern twist sounds like a broken record memory box on its last leg nostalgia tour, but if history repeats itself and life imitates art, then this is a ring of fire and we're in the circle of Hell, we're all circling the drain yet out the loop, the circle of life, yeah, it's just a vicious cycle, destination: unknown, going nowhere, but making good time, getting their fast, it's a full time job now just to look half past dead. Where was I going with all this I don't know. I'm hopped up on NyQuil and antibiotics, peeling this onion all the way down to the dark side of the moon, doggy. Ahhh yeeea.

I’d never heard all of that but now that you mention it I could totally see this being changed just a little bit to be a Die Hard sequel.

Bruce was spitting facts. Always gotta be ready for Satan.

Also, Melissa in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead! She’s got a year on me, I’ve had a crush on her since the late 80’s!

I remember when I saw her in the TV Series That's Life she looks sexy even a blue dress.

Yeah, Shane Black was on fire 🔥

Yeah, it only seemed to be a huge success in my native Sweden. We had a knack for finding overlooked gems in those days. "Darkman" is another example.

Overlooked is very correct. How you seen 21-Bridges ??? Starring Chadwick Boseman,I watch every 3 months or so. Good flic.

Considering the trouble everyone had working together, it's not really surprising.

And because of Bruce Willis' illness@@maingate7672

A much better movie than Die Hard, it deserves 6 sequels, I'm madder about Die Hard getting sequels instead of this than anything else in movie history

@@maingate7672 Who had trouble working together?

​@@Jekyll_Island_CreaturesBruce Willis & Damon Wayans didn't get along and constantly fought on set.

Other reactors have already done a reaction before them.

​@@ZavaXavier, No real popular ones though, AFAIK.

This and Hudson Hawk are the deep cut pearls of his career.

You got those tae bo infomercials on repeat?

@@MrChumpus no but I’ve seen his other films and well their hilarious. Like king of the kickboxers. But yeah I remember my mom had those dvd sets. All I remember is that smile staring at me when I’d pull out another dvd from the shelf.

Ain't life a bitch?

@@nightking0130 Lol. I just remember him from selling those tae bo tapes

Taylor Negron was in alot of films in the 80s and 90s like How To Get Into College, Young Doctors In Love, Bad Medicine and others. Rest In Paradise Taylor Negron 🕯️🙏🏽🕯️

Pizza delivery guy in Fast Times and Ridgemont high, and nacho butt guy in Angels in the outfield come to mind. Haha very different in this movie.

@@dansievers7336 the tough guy who got his nose sent up into his brain when Bruce Willis punched him played a weak sniveling character in The Island in 2005 with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansen.

@@stevenorellano2039 Kim Coates been watching him since the 80s on films The Boy In Blue and TV like Miami Vice.

Nice to meet another one from Germany Here! Liebe Grüße

Greetings from Switzerland ;-)

I don't think anyone has ever done action comedy as well as Shane Black. Dude almost never misses.

You must haven't seen other reactors who already had done reactions to this film.

#2? You really, really need to watch Looper, The Sixth Sense and 12 Monkeys then, I reckon. Death Becomes Her, Pulp Fiction and Sin City too, though he isn't the only main Protaginist in those, to be fair. Then there's Unbreakable, The Fifth Element, The Kid.... I mean, as good as this movie is, can one really put it above all of these other amazing works?

Yeah, this one is the true "Die hard 3" in my book. The actual "Die hard with a vengeance" was such a huge letdown after the first two masterpieces, but "The last boyscout" delivered on all fronts, and then some.

@@ZavaXavier very few

@@cristonsloan key words: "my opinion"

"You can tell this is a 70s porno, because the guy's dick has sideburns."

You wouldn't know it based on the chemistry on-screen with Damon Wayans and Bruce Willis

@@willthorburn1985 Same happened on the Lethal Weapon tv series, Damon Wayans & Clayne Crawford had great onscreen chemistry but behind the scenes, it was all out war, one of the most extreme examples of two co-stars hating each other.

​@VonPunk call me nuts, but the common denominator seems to be Damon

I remember hearing about that years later. On set fights between cast and crew. That's crazy.

@@HABO2210 Damon is notorious for being a diva.

Hell yes. Fantastic movie!! Slightly different but also recommended: The In-Laws with Peter Falk (Grandfather in Princess Bride) and Alan Arkin And, of course, I always have put in a plug for Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood

My number one buddy cop movie. No doubt.

It was most definitely Lethal Weapon, another movie written by Shane Black! It was the part where Riggs (Mel Gibson) is being tortured by Endo (Al Leong) with the electric shocks.

@@Turnabouta handful of the crew from Lethal Weapon reunited on this film: writer Shane Black, producer Joel Silver, composer Michael Kamen, and editor Stuart Baird.

Small tip: When someone knows a scene or some other piece of information, but can't quite remember what it's from, it's so much more satisfying if someone gives them a clue and they figure it out for themselves rather than just having someone blurt out the answer.

Wrong. She played a crackhead in Jungle Fever.

People really make themselves look stupid when they write things they know nothing about. Her first film was Jungle Fever where her and Sam Jackson played crack heads.

@@tbrrrdmn these movies came out the same year, so this along with Jungle Fever and Strictly Business coming out months apart, it’s an easy mistake. No need to say “wrong”. You could’ve just said it was Jungle Fever.

YO. EXECUTIVE DECISION was her big leading role. Best movie Steven Seagal movie ever!

'BULWORTH' ( 1998 ) Great to watch in an election year !!!

And d day from animal house

​@@Qochoc McGill was also a reoccurring character on the original MacGyver TV series.

that movie is actually called "Last Action Hero" , there is no THE......

apparantly on set they didn't get alone

It was written by Shane Black who also wrote this movie.

I’m an amateur that has some knowledge of 80s & 90s movies, you’re Yoda. Well, Kermit is a close cousin.

@@jasonm8017 80s and 90s movies are my expertise.

Bunny... ball ball !!

NO! Hudson Hawk is a bad movie.

@@jkhoover The irony of someone named Hoover saying something sucks 😀
