This is a movie reaction to my first time watching True Lies, released in 1994 and directed by James Cameron. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis make such an awesome and fun duo in this movie! I also could not handle Bill Paxton's character. 😂 Make sure to stick around to the end of this video for my full thoughts and review and thank you so much for watching!

🚁 At 33:37 you compared Jamie Lee Curtis' performance in this to her performance in "Freaky Friday." I just want to mention that if you enjoyed that, you might also find the original "Freaky Friday" from 1976 to be interesting. Much like "Smokey & The Bandit," it has a mid-1970s carefree charm about it, and I think Jodie Foster was a much more appealing Annabel than Lindsay Lohan. I'll put it in your suggestion form. 😎👍

Natasha was the mysterious hot vixen villain in the "ROCKY and BULLWINKLE " Cartoons of the 50's and 60's. Boras was her diminutive Russian Spy boyfriend/husband who fixated on the often unaware and naive squirrel and moose. No one ever gets the punchline from this movie anymore. It got a lot of laughs 30 years ago. Natasha's Russian accent and tight fitting clothes often black seemed dark and sinister to a 6 year old in 1966. But reruns in 1976 to a 16 year old was kind of a sick fantasy. But the 16 year old girls dug her vibe too !!! So enters the 1986 role play for young married couples. So Jamie's excitement about possibly being typecast as The Super Vixen Natasha was quite the forbidden joke for the audience.

🚁 True Lies. Yeah... I admit it. I love this movie. I love the action. I love Arnold and Jamie. I love the premise, and the execution. (And, I'm sure whoever-that-was. is glad James Cameron finally made a blu-ray. I'm glad! I purchased it immediately. (That, and The Abyss. Both of which I've been waiting decades for!) So... I enjoy watching folks react to this. Some folks don't love it, some folks like it okay. I understand. All of y'all are young, whippersnappers, raised in the post-911 dystopian America. (I think the sad thing is that they could have gone ahead and made a True Lies 2, with Arnold and Jamie. They could have reworked the script. And, it probably would have been an excellent movie. It's not the movie's fault. It's our changed perspective. Don't get me wrong... I've worked in aviation for decades, and I remember 911, and how everything shut down, and how everyone was in shock. Made all the more somber by the fact that the towers didn't only fall once. They fell over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. And, we all watched it. In shock. No matter what movies were made, all of the movies immediately after hit broken hearts that hadn't really wanted to grow up. But... we kind of had to. (It's debatable whether or not we actually did, but that's another conversation for another day.) But... getting back to True Lies. It's fun for the sake of being fun. People need to take it in that spirit. The bad guys, they were bad. Could have been anybody, but don't forget, 911 wasn't the first time the Twin Towers were bombed. 1993. But, not the same thing. So, what do I love best? The ridiculousness. The sweet naivete. And, my personal favorite: The interrogation scene. "Are we going to die?" "Yep." I agree, the whole threat with Dana at the end was tacked on, and I wasn't invested in the danger. But, it's okay. I was invested in Arnold. That said, my girls were about that age when this movie came out. And, I do remember feeling anxious for their sake. (Having kids can alter one's perceptions of movie contrivances. My wife can't watch The Green Mile, because of the girls.) Okay... all that to say that I'm glad you enjoyed what you could from the movie. It's a fun movie of its time. And, if you needed to have been from that time to really love it... it's okay. I enjoy your enjoyment of the things you enjoyed. :) Thank you, Kaiielle, for the watch. As always. I will look forward to whatever you watch next.

🚁 Ridiculous, outrageous, unhinged, ludicrous--amazing covers it, though, I think. 😄 I really appreciated that Helen was added to the spy team at the end, that she held her own throughout the movie. They walked the line a few times and closer than I'd have liked, but considering the era, I like how it worked out. I completely agree regarding Dana. I mean, I feel like something may have been cut out, because she was nearly superfluous to the move as-is. Take out all of ehr scenes and you only really have to rejigger the end a little. Have Harry fly after Helen instead and you've pretty much nixed the only reason to have Dana in the first place. I really hope it's a matter of the editor being a little too snip-happy with the scissors and not just bad writing. Fun fact: The fighter jet prop Arnold Schwarzenegger sits in for the scens of Harry flying to save his daughter near the end of this movie is the _exact_ fighter jet Thor hammers the Hulk into in the first _Avengers._ Seriously, the exact same prop. They dug it out of storage. 🏳‍🌈🖖

On of the biggest things I think about with this movie is that it came out the same year as The Mask with Jim Carrey. I remember that at the time I was so much more excited to see The Mask than True Lies, and while I did enjoy The Mask it did not come close to making me laugh as hard or as frequently as True Lies did. I mean I would not have laid money that the action/comedy movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been a funnier movie the comedy movie with Jim Carrey... but it happened and I love True Lies all the more for it.

What’s hilarious is this is based on a French dramatic movie with the same plot, up to a point. That movie is all the Simon affair vs Harry’s spy life interfering with his marriage. It took Cameron to breathe the comedy and high stakes action into what was effectively a French art house film. But this begs the question, can you do a comparison of the two versions of “Insomnia” (the American and Norwegian versions), much like the original and Americanized “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”?

@9:17 Idk why most reactors are so impressed that Tom Arnold didn't get hit right here, yes the pole did provide partial cover, but the assailant is also using a sub-machine gun, which is wildly inaccurate from a distance, especially compared to assault rifles or single shot rifles or pistols, and the further away you are from your target also makes it less precise, and it is also more inaccurate when holding down the trigger and just praying and spraying like the bad guy was doing here, instead of using short, controlled bursts, and of course he was also hip firing, another no-no if you want better accuracy and precision.

@kaiielle Ай бұрын

It's more that the bullets were whizzing past him pretty closely and a couple even hit the pole he was hiding behind, yet he managed to completely avoid it all. Even if a bullet tore his coat open in the arm or something, that'd at least feel a bit more realistic, that's all. But this whole movie is comedy and so that's just one of the scenes contributing to that with the way it is!

I am not sure if 9/11 is the only thing stopping a sequel. In a lot of ways, like many of the 80s and 90s films, this has an innocence about it that is lost now. 9/11 is a big part of that, but the way we look at race now, or the way we even look at gender roles now. I have a close friend that is actually really troubled by some of the themes in this movie. I love it, but there are some cringe parts, and even the cringe parts bring a smile to my face because of nostalgia I guess because I saw this when I was more innocent than I am now, but there is definitely mixed feelings out there about it. Can I like something that isn't socially acceptable? Lots of questions in my head when I remember this movie and others. But great reaction, and I think discussions and thoughts about this are great to have.

If the explosion which combines and compresses the two subcritical masses isn't timed perfectly and absolutely symmetric then the bomb won't go off; the energy buildup will blow the core apart before it hits the chain reaction stage and you'll effectively have a dirty bomb that scatters radioactive material over the local area. Still bad, but far better than a nuclear explosion. A near miss with a missile is going to damage the mechanism rather than set off the nuke. One movie which got this sort of thing reasonably correct is The Peacemaker, with Nicole Kidman and George Clooney. To prevent the nuke going off they remove part of the shaped charge and reduce it to a conventional explosion.

There was a sequel that was ready to film...But 9/11 happened.The film was canceled because there was a major plot sequence involving a terrorist crashing a plane into a high-rise building.Tom Arnold tried his best to get the studio to greenlight the film.

"Canadian making the most American film": Remember that "Independence Day" and "Air Force One" were made by GERMANS.

First a factual bit of information. A missile or an incendiary device cannot set off a nuclear warhead. Without going too much into it, there is a particular sequence that has to occur for a warhead to go nuclear. That sequence cannot be activated in any way by explosions or shocks or vibrations from say earthquakes. Arnold should know that, considering he knows the specifics of the weapon. This movie is fantastic but it could have been shorter and the bit with kidnapping Dana was just completely unnecessary. Having Dana in the movie at all just felt tacked on. Apart from that it's a popcorn movie. It's not too serious, it has great action backed up by humour and hotties.
