Can't believe this movie is almost 30 years old already. It still looks like it could've been made yesterday. Fabulous effects work. Excellent stunt coordination. Incredible action set pieces. When it wants to be a comedy, it's the funniest comedy ever, and when it wants to be an action movie, it's the most action-packed flick EVER! Does both to perfection, and moves so seamlessly between them. Plus, Bill Paxton......what can I say.......best performance of his colorful career. I really miss him.

[@metricmine]

This is one of my favourite action movies. One thing I really like is the realism, i.e. real jets, real stunts, real explosions. The bridge scenes, including the explosion using miniatures, looked so awesome. I can't imagine what it takes to get these things filmed the way it was. These days, it would have been CGI jets, CGI people doing stunts, CGI explosions. No matter how good the technology gets, you can always tell that something is not 100% real. True Lies is true fun to watch every time.

Alien doesn't need a sequel. We got a happy ending when Ripley kills the alien, blowing it out of the airlock. Anything more would just be more ALIENS. Terminator doesn't need a sequel. We got a happy ending with Sarah Connor driving off into the sunset. Anything more would just be another SCI FI movie. Predator doesn't need a sequel. We got a happy ending with Arnold defeating the predator and that great shot with Arnold having that distant look in his eyes. Anything more would be.........Well........... to be honest we actually probably should've stopped after the first Predator........But my point still stands. You just never know what a sequel may bring to the table. At times they can exceed every expectation and give us some of the best movies in history. The Godfather 2, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, The Dark Knight. But other times you may get Speed 2, Cruise Control and Dumb and Dumberer. I loved True Lies. I very much wanted a sequel to be made. With the right actors and directors, it may have been even better than the first. Guess we will never know. (Because a True Lies sequel without Arnold in it, would indeed be a disaster.)

This is actually my Favorite Arnold movie. Great pick Minty!

[@snakeoo]

A bonus fact True lies has never been released on blu ray format.

[@davidjames579]

But it was released on High Definition VHS, which is almost Blu-Ray quality.

I have this on DVD! - its one of my alltime favorite films, better watch it again.

[@natalie8212]

I _love_ this movie. I got made fun of a bit for being a girl who liked "cheesy" action movies. Especially Last Action Hero and Demolition Man. I knew they were good! Btw Minty, the situation there has not left my mind. I'm so sorry for beautiful Australia and I hope the recovery efforts are going well, Your friend from America.

[@darrentaylor9610]

Made fun of???? I'd have asked you out on a date.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

I don't feel like this movie gets the credit that it deserves 26 years later, and the special effects still hold up well too

[@JRKonungrinn]

I'm so disappointed that they didn't do the sequel.

[@forcewielder2000]

If there were a sequel, do you think it should have been called "False Truths"?

[@mmsiphonevinyls1027]

forcewielder2000 that or Truer Lies

The fighter jets used, were Harrier Jump Jets, capable of vertical take off and landing and really can hang in mid air like that. The Americans were not interested in them, until the UK, who had the planes, used them in the Falklands war with Argentina in 1982.

TRUE LIES is my favorite action movie.

[@YZJY]

I first saw this on video, I didn't know what it was, but when I watched, it instantly became a favorite. So many great lines and perfect casting throughout. I can't imagine anyone else in any of the roles. JLC was amazing in how she could go from a regular looking office lady to a total babe with nothing more than some water in her hair and a couple ruffles and her glasses removed. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying their parts. They were acting, of course, but enjoyment seemed to filter through their performances and let the audience enjoy it with them. A great movie of that time, and in so many ways underrated.

[@Sputz3]

Jamie Lee Curtis really fell from the poll during the strip tease scene. That part wasn’t acting but she kept going and it was so funny they kept it in the movie.

Interesting things, be blessed all in Jesus shalom
