Jim Carey proved he can do more than comedy. You should add Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind in one of your Polls, such a amazing brilliant movie like this one which Jim starred in because of this film.

The modern version of the "sadistic gameshow" genre started with another Stephen King novella, "The Long Walk." Much, much darker than the Hunger Games or Battle Royale. There's supposedly an adaptation in work, but I'd guess they'll soften it up a lot.

Definitely watch some older movies. The best movies are older ones because newer ones don’t come close to the oldies. This is such a great movie though I don’t think there isn’t anything close to this that’s newer and done just as good.

Is it a happy ending at all? They're still living in a heavily controlled dystopian world.

Thanks guys, really enjoyed this too! There's a meme floating around the net with a shark seeing a guy in a cage and thinking 'oh that poor guy trapped in a cage underwater, don't worry buddy, I'll help you get free!' and swims towards the cage to bite the bars with his teeth lol Brilliant! :D This was the first movie I watched with Richard Dreyfuss and that wonderful laughter he does during the getting drunk scene (he does it a lot in Stakeout 1 and 2 and What About Bob comedies, those are some of my fav comedy movies of all time!) anyway the bonding scene comparing scars and the drunk sing-song, such a good scene (until Jaw(s) turns up! lol Yep, I agree wth the soundtrack, I picture some exec saying "give the teens and shockable grannies some classic Shaw theatre-style dialog to reel them in with some solid 1950s style storytelling scenes, some happy uplifting fantasy adventure music between gore, and we should be able to slide this one under the PG certificate" lol Robert Shaw died barely 50 something! I always thought he was nearing 60 in this movie! I need to watch some of his earlier classics 'The Deep' another Peter Binchley book to movie that I've not seen for example! I just read that Shaw wrote a couple of good novels! Wow and that he was in another movie from a Peter Binchley script called The Deep. I've got some homework maybe to find that one. Oh and thanks for all the editing, movies this big surely take a few edits before they get through the 'net' so yeah thanks for all the hard editing and re-editing work!!

42:38 "Bad Apples" is a kind and cute way to refer to "evil doers." 😁 "A few bad apples spoils the bunch."

Y’all should watch Godzilla 98

🛑 FACTOID 🛑Countdown voice is Sigourney Weaver

Family fued host Richard Dawson was a huge star of the 70s/80s tv and Battle royal was awesome! A game changer! This was also somewhat of a commentary on Americas hunger and need for entertainment and television.

The producers petitioned to get a PG rating based on the violence being perpetrated by a creature's feeding behaviour rather than human criminal activities...

Ok that's it. I'm subscribing

Thx for reacting to this one!

I also love the soundtrack for this movie.

The movie itself is pretty cool! But it's a bad movie adaptation of Stephen King's (as Richard Bachman) book!

A funny lower budget version of this idea is an old movie called Death Row Gameshow. It is more comedy and has some songs written for it.

Alan Silvestri FTW

Why'd they make it Bakersfield? That's a little far out from LA/Hollywood which this movie is otherwise depicting. Officially central valley. Hm.

That car at 7:45. I love how it's both 2017 but also totally 1987.

He has a tiny earpiece like Impractical Jokers.

Wait, Richard and Jane are your real names? If so that's awesome.

Characters in Alien are perfect. Ash is a great villain. Aliens is great in a different way but not as the first. Personal opinion

Dystopian gladiatory-sport sci-fi like "The Hunger Games" and "Battle Royal" goes back to a short story "The Seventh Victim" (1953 Robert Scheckley) which was adapted into the Italian movie "The 10th Victim." (1965) Other movies exploring the same idea are "Rollerball" and "Deathrace 2000" (both 1975) "Tron" (1982) and "Tron: Legacy" (2010) "The Salute of the Jugger" (AKA "The Blood of Heroes" 1989) "Star Wars ep 1: The Phatom Mencace" (1999) "Series 7: The Contenders" (2001) "Gamer" (2009) "Thor: Ragnarok" (2017) and "Alita: Battle Angel" (2019) "Gamer" is almost a remake of "The Running Man" updated for the online gaming generation. "The Running Man" also owes as much to the humans-hunting-humans sub-genre of suspense/thriller fiction created by Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" (1924) which was adapted into several movies and inspired dozens of others including "Hard Target" (1993) and "Surviving The Game" (1994)

Congratulations on 1000 subscribers! As a teen in the 90s, this was one of my favourite movies. I love the one-liners. The stalkers are a bit silly, but the movie is great fun. I'm pretty sure I've read the book by Stephen King (Richard Bachman), because in my teens I read every Stephen King book I could find. I have, however, seen the movie so many times that I can't remember the book anymore. I found this quote: "King wasn't happy with the changes made to The Running Man, with the Arnold film bearing little resemblance to the book outside of the basic concept.", so I guess they changed a lot for the movie.

This is my favorite movie of all time. Glad to see young people appreciating it. We saw it in a motel coming back from Disneyland. Then my dad came running out of the bathroom flailing my mom's pantyhose on his head. Thanks dad.

Fun fact Richard Dawson who plays Dameion played Sergent Newkirk on TV sitcom Hogan's Heroes in the 60's. I really liked the music when Richards bursts in and says "It's showtime!" I got a movie reaction suggestion for you it's another one of favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future. Those are also two others you should react to.

We liked this one a lot. Excited to see how the 2025 remake does!

Like obbligato per chi guarda questo film nel 2024!! ❤

Yes more reactions

Chainsaw fight!

Hello, there is a movie that no one has reacted to, it's called Black Rain, it's with the actor Michael Douglas, I recommend it, it's an excellent movie.

Last seasons winners?? no, last seasons losers!!! Fireball is Jim Brown, the NFL leading rusher.......ain't nothing on earth gonna stop him! The villain is Richard Dawson, the host of the TV show Family Feud. Popular for 10 years.... so he knew how to play a gameshow host hah The cheerleader choreography was done by Paula Abdul, famous singer/actress.

Giving the people what they want! :D Settling down to this, the book was by Stephen King under an alias (but knowing you guys I might have to cross this out or remove it if you knew already) thanks sub poll, great choice!

I felt so bad for Kay, the whole film. She literally had the worst day ever. She wakes up and witnesses a creature burst out of her friend. she survives total chaos in a crash, only to see the father of her child die underneath the very personification of Satan's vagina, if Satan was indeed a female..... that creature then crowned out of Satan's vagina and then attacked her. This robot persuaded her into injecting herself with this fluid that would allow for her unborn child to see the sun one day. .... She then goes to sleep, only to awaken to birth this spawn of satan in an egg, then burns through the ship. Crawls back up to feed off of her.... All within the span of what, one hour ???? --- from the time the crash , ring impact, .... she literally had the worst hour and a half of any person in the Alien Franchise.....

This is the scariest movie ever.

Some thoughts and trivia.... Reaction videos to The Thing are GUARANTEED to do one thing. First... "Noooo! Not the dog! Don't hurt the dog!" Twenty minutes later! "Burn it! Burn the dog! No wonder they were trying to shoot it!" The dog was played by Jed the Wolfdog. He also starred in White Fang and The Journey of Natty Gann. Jed was extremely intelligent, and just as good an actor as his human co-stars (or better). He died in 1995 at the age of 18, a very old age for a half-wolf, half Alaskan Malamute. It looks like Mac is being a sore loser when he destroys the chess computer at the beginning. But if you look carefully, you'll see that Mac was right; the computer WAS cheating. In the DVD commentary, John Carpenter says (and I agree) that the moment where Mac says, "We're not getting out of here alive, but neither is that Thing," and the others silently agree, it's a comforting moment in an otherwise grim and bleak movie. Like you noted, at least they can trust each other a bit, and dying to save humanity is a pretty good way to go. My belief: Mac was human. It could go either way with Childs. They'd already stated they shouldn't accept food from anyone else, so it's possible when Mac gives Childs the bottle and Childs takes a pull, Mac knows Childs is a thing, and his little laugh says, "Gotcha." Or maybe Childs is human, and Mac's chuckle says, "Well, we've had a hell of a week, haven't we." Either way, Mac knows he has to kill Childs then burn both of them to be sure, so what else can he do but laugh?

If you haven't seen it before, Pleasantville is a really good movie and shares a lot of vibes with Truman Show. I love to rewatch both movies back to back nearly every year ❤

He recognized them because of the line Robocop said, which you didn’t hear: _"Dead or alive, you are coming with me"_ You’re right. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Dredd, except it came about 25 years after Robocop.

Yall are so funny

Wow

Great react! Welcame into this great trilogy!!

How boring are movies starring only kids!

Awesome reaction guys !!! 👏🏽 Fun fact : The alien-hybrid baby is played by Romanian basketball player, Robert Bobroczkyi. He’s 7 ft 7 inch tall, which makes him seem terrifyingly huge compared to the shorter/smaller actors. & Kay was lactating the black goo she injected herself with. The alien-hybrid baby wanted to feed, but since its mother rejected it, it killed her aka Kay. Nasty stuff lol. Also, some think that the alien probably saved Rain so they could bring her to be implanted by a facehugger.

This movie wasn't all that big back in the day. It wasn't Terminator or Alien. It was plenty good to watch during a rain delay of a Cubs game, you know, because there was no internet. It's really only since the internet that people have reexamined it, and given credit where it's due. From here comes Terminator 2, the first real use of CGI. It's as cool today, because the primitive CGI feeds into the story.

It is always fun watching people react. One thing I notice across all of them is this tendency to assume all branches of WeYu are working together (they don't--science div, specifically weapons dev, work secretly and independently) and that these newly terraformed planets are settled and controlled. They are not

regarding their age/having access to a ship: they have access to the corbelan in particular because it’s a mining hauler that used to belong to their parents before they all died! i feel like smaller vessels like that are semi-commonplace in their universe lol for them it’s like riding on a boat anyways great reaction! <3

You can't rate it under 4 stars without being dishonest, I mean come on. The script, the actors, the special effect artists, the director, the cinematography and the scouting locations are just huge and way above average in all history of film making.

Dude stop judging on andy. How andy bullshit to them. Everybody love andy stop judging him. Andy MVP this Movie

Guy they in there 20s age

Raise told Kay to take the stuff, She said; “here take this” blah; blah, blah the ship% poor choice of words,
