I think y’all need to check the math on Rocky Balboa 😅 1990 ~ 2006 = 16 years NOT 26

[@silvantishh]

That’s what I was saying… lol

[@carastone3473]

😂

[@caughtashot]

Was gonna post that too

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

I think they say coming back for creed was another 10 years so that's 26 yrs? Maybe lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

Math is hard… /s

[@stevenbryce6889]

What about Paul Newman playing Fast Eddie? 1961 for The Hustler and 1986 for The Color of monoy. 25 years

[@tomwhale7334]

Er... it's 4 Wick movies and counting, not 3

[@josh1300wht]

Yah, three and counting the fourth

[@Donna-nu8ul]

I think what they wanted to say was that at the time Bill & Ted 3 came out, there were three John Wick movies, but it was terribly worded. Using the present tense was a confusing choice.

[@Scrobbles]

Just about to message that, beat me to it fella 😄

[@ryuiichikune6250]

Could be a back logged video

[@reaper.-._.-._.-._.-.]

Bruce Campbell as ash Williams better be here lol

[@MrMeatballMasterMort]

Yeah Rocky 5 came out in 1990 and Rocky 6 came out in 2006 so it 16 years not 26. And there are 4 John Wicks.

[@jambonater24]

I thought Ralph Maccio for Karate kid to cobra Kai woulda made this list

[@thespicemelange.1]

This is for movies, not movies and t. V shows

[@DevilDoc1988]

​@@thespicemelange.1fair point although Harrison Ford was left off the list due to a TV appearance

[@RobbDorn]

Paul Newman as Fast Eddie - 25 years

[@dorklyasmr6017]

You forgot Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson in the Hustler (1961) and the Color of Money (1986) for a 25 year gap

[@MrFostiano]

JEFF BRIDGES : Tron, 1982. Tron Legacy, 2010.

[@karlsmith2570]

You could also list Bruce Boxleitner in that too

[@larryleonardo4402]

Peter and Winston from Ghostbusters. Ray dont get the list with those two cuz he appeared in character in Casper.

[@jamespope7669]

"who you gonna call... someone else"

[@les4767]

How about Felix Unger(Jack Lemmon) and Oscar Madison(Walter Matthau) from "The Odd Couple(1968) and "The Odd Couple 2"(1998) That's 20 years. And I really can't believe you didn't include Pete "Maverick" Mitchell(Tom Cruise) from "Top Gun"(1986) to "Top Gun Maverick"(2022) That's 36 years.

[@karlsmith2570]

And no mention of Dennis Lawson as Wedge Antilles in the sequel trilogy

[@mitchmegaw7201]

He did get a whole frame or two at the very, VERY end.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

Since Krasinski is included in your intro (ie - a TV show version of a character) I guess Adam West and Nicholas Hammond should have been accounted for as well?

[@Joemama55122]

William Russell/Ian Chesterton in Dr Who won the Guinness world record

[@boganbushcraft]

Man, I was really looking forward to watching this.. Then I heard Gareth.

[@WreakinHavocOnU]

Where is Ole Tom Cruise as Maverick?

[@DSQueenie]

35 years right? The time line is a bit messy age wise for Bradley Bradshaw since in the original film he was (or his actor was) four but they definitely played him as mid 30s in Mavrick when he should be 40.

[@carastone3473]

@@DSQueenie36

[@Rob_F8F]

I thought Maverick would be No. 1 on this list.

[@WreakinHavocOnU]

@@Rob_F8F Same. It's very weird that Maverick didn't make the list at all.

[@patrickpaddybaker8714]

Ghostbusters? It's been since 1989.....to afterlife. 32years!

[@silvantishh]

What about The Matrix movies? Keanu was big before John Wick came around… Lol…

[@ginobilius]

tom cruise on top gun and top gun maverick?

[@michaelhull8813]

Rocky was.... 16yrs right?

Be careful, you might get into trouble with this mindset, because you know too much.

[@gshaunsweeney]

Some of these are the original actor reprising the same role after many years not long periods between movie character appearances because some of these characters were on movies or shows but played by different actors.

[@wadelavan736]

What’s with Harrison Ford having to wait 20+ years for sequels 😂

[@TheSteveStrom]

When I saw The Rise Of Skywalker, I was the only person who cheered out loud when Wedge Antilles (Dennis Lawson) showed up for the final battle.

[@Rob_F8F]

Where is Maverick?????

[@jkeegan154]

It was 16 years between Rocky V and Rocky Balboa.

[@dragonweyr44]

Actually, Tom Holland is the 4TH live action Spider Man, not the third. EVERYONE forgets that Nicholas Hammond played Spider Man in the 1977 tv show and is still alive at the age of 72 I was SO hoping that he would have made an appearance in the last Spider Man movie. Not doing the action, mind you, But, how cool would it have been to see him on the rooftop "With Great Power> scene, as well as the lab scene afterward? He was even snubbed in the Spider Man: Across The Spider Verse movie Why have people forgotten about him

[@klydejohnson7520]

Bro u grouping in random stuff If u talking like that Tom prolly the 15th there was so many other Spider-Man there was literally a Japanese live action spiderman😂

[@thespicemelange.1]

I think you've mistaken TV shows and movies being the same thing.

[@dragonweyr44]

@@thespicemelange.1 I don't think so I grew up in the 70s and the Electric Company and the Spider Man tv show with Nick Hammond was a big part of my life To completely dismiss him in the latest movie, really pissed me off. As if he never existed in the Spider Man lore If he was dead, I could understand it, but he's not Add to the fact that you had nearly EVERY OTHER Spiderman variant that has existed in the last 60 years, EXCEPT for the Nick Hammond and the Electric Company Spider Man in the 2nd Spider Verse movie, I'm not going to lie, It makes me upset

[@thespicemelange.1]

Escape from LA and Ghosts of Mars were meant to be a tongue in cheek poke at b-movies. John Carpenter even said this himself. I don't think anybody understood that. He said he was paying homage to those type of movies.

[@bigboibj2004]

I love Escape from LA

[@i_duditz2076]

Excellent topic!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@michaelhowell2326]

The robot psychiatrist on Futurama is named Hal-L.

[@henningts]

So many errors in this video. John Wick has 4 movies ( not 3 ), Creed has 3 movies (not 2 )

[@ch1701a]

You forgot Paul Newman's character "Fast" Eddie Felson from the 1961 movie 'The Hustler' was also reprised by Paul Newman in the 1986 movie 'The Color of Money' with Tom Cruise. It was 25 years later.

[@ryuiichikune6250]

Not gonna lie, my favorite loyd character is Martin from my favorite Martian

[@jaydubbies]

I WAS FROZEN TODAY

[@greggwashington4015]

Whoa... I did NOT know that Harrison Ford showed up in the Young Indy show

[@Elfan4]

I think Beetlejuice should have been on this list 😬

[@mikeimpressionsreviews9831]

Yes but hasn’t come out yet

[@scotttaylor8462]

Suburban Commando was awesome!! Must see!!

[@rustyshackleford2792]

Man yall need to slow down and qc these vids. Been a ton of mistakes lately. Still love the channel.

[@NickCC23]

Michael Keaton as Beetlejiuce: 1988-2024. (36 years)

[@wernerheenop]

Pete "Maverick" Mitchell Tom Cruise 36 Years

[@TheBigWrist]

What about Cruz as Maverick?

[@justsaying14]

Penélope has never played a character named Maverick.

[@carastone3473]

[@carastone3473]

Tom CRUISE

[@DavidGetz-mb6th]

Maybe they'll do a follow-up video with 10 more, cuz lots of omissions on this one

[@primefamous]

What happened to you What Culture? You used to be cool..😢

[@PDX-Red]

i appreciate the background music, but i find the balance off. its hard to hear gareth over the background.

[@johnbecher85]

What about Maverick in Top Gun to Top Gun: Maverick?

[@TorQueMoD]

4 John Wick films, not 3 and counting. How was this posted 9 hours ago?

[@ryuiichikune6250]

It's a backlog

I wish we had to wait longer for Sarah Conner's return… like… forever. Together with any movie they claim are sequels to Terminator 2. Bill & Ted Face The Music? You say "their return seemed to go down well with fans" and then mention the *critics* score of 82% of Rotten Tomatoes. The audience score is only 65% though… 9:33 Do you folks need some remedial English lessons?

[@STEVE28COOP]

Eddie Murphy as Axl Foley in the fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie.

[@Ceares]

Speaking of Eddie Murphy, all the returning characters in Coming 2 America -33 years

[@NicoleAlexander-r8e]

I haven't seen the newest Terminator, since they ended the series permanently at part 5. Let it die already, for God's sake.

[@YouLousyKids]

In what world is "Bill and Ted: Face the Music" a successful film?

[@johnbecher85]

It was a fucking disgrace and should never have been made.

[@PaulSmoker420]

No mention of Michael Keaton ss Beetlejuice? Huh. 🤔

[@karlsmith2570]

The 2nd Beetlejuice movie likely wasn't released yet at the time they'd filmed this

[@jrob18mvp]

It's not released now​@@karlsmith2570

[@gfear24]

Having watched all 3 Bill & Ted flicks, Face the Music is NOT a good movie. Though, casting Kirsten Schaal as the daughter of George Carlin's Rufus was genius casting.

[@nicholasfruin1]

WhatCulture we all know that you deliberately make these mistakes as a way of comment bating but enough is enough already. These “mistakes” make your channel a laughingstock. Fire your editors and hire some professional fact checkers.

[@michaelelsy2209]

I wish Linda Hamilton hadn't returned for that shite.

[@AgentMoray]

Bring back Jar Jar Binks.

[@klydejohnson7520]

This was the worst video I seen of yall in so long 😂😂😂 there a fourth John wick and the rocky thing is 16 years yall musta fired the few fact checkers cus no way this was made before John wick 4😂

[@CyberAdam64]

You mentioned Keanu and Alex for Bill and Ted but forgot to mention William Sadler as Death in the same movie. William played Death in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey and reprises the roll again in Bill and Ted Face the Music.

[@HariSeldon913]

As well as Missy and Ted's dad.

[@Kanekashonthedash]

Ellen Ripley v Sarah Connor Who wins?

We do.

Both Blade Runner movies are fantastic. Such fascinating concepts.

[@alm2187]

6:57 I'd rather talk about Genisys than the stark hate propaganda chosen for this list entry. Wish channels like this would stop giving it publicity. 🫤

But doc was at the nickelodeon time capsule event....

WHAT ABOUT GENYSIS????
