[@shainewhite2781]

Based on a true story! My parents and I saw this on Blu Ray. My favorite scene is when he crashed the plane in a neighborhood, he sees a kid, gives him $100 for his bike, and rides off, but not before he gets covered in pure, uncut, Columbian blow. Lol!!😂

[@garrybaldy327]

He gave the kid more than a hundred dollars 😂

[@decadentdevil]

Great movie.. great reaction And yes, Tom Cruise can actually fly multiple different kinds of airplanes

[@igloo2158]

And helicopters. He did that crazy helicopter stunt in the previous Mission Impossible. There’s a YT video of him doing it. He’s insane.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Skydiving, paragliding, speed wing flying. Check, check, check. He needs to learn how to surf, but otherwise, he's got my respect.

[@reesebn38]

He also has his Real Estate License.@@Blue-qr7qe

[@tomc2907]

You guys should check out what really happened with that guy! The truth is much better than the fiction in this movie

[@Imari-Tard]

,

[@B-Killin]

A great book about him is called Barry and The Boys. Also, i have a relative that was killed and then covered up by government officials because they came across a large drug pickup in Arkansas that is directly related to all of this. Look up the story of Kevin Ives and Don Henry.

[@yepimheretoo2270]

"Barry & the Boys" 👍

[@jkt4748]

Exactly!

[@reesebn38]

I saw this in the theatre and the moment Oliver North came into it his whole case come flooding back. Fawn Hall was so hot!

[@76063co2]

I'm originally from Mena Arkansas (in Texas now) and my grandpa and uncle worked at the Mena Airport during the time these events occured.

[@Easy_Skanking]

They are lucky they didn't "die of suicide from two bullets to the back of the head" as so many did there.

[@nlgrrtt]

Im from mena too!!! ❤❤ we lived 5 miles past the airport near nunley in also in TX now

[@bretttodd6470]

You two are funny. One of my favorite 5 reactors. Asia hiding behind her hands is hilarious.

[@xxkillmmmbbaaaxx2553]

Tom Cruise got his pilot license. Im pretty sure he did all the flying scenes since he does his own stunts

[@covrtdesign5279]

Some of the flying scenes in the second Top Gun was him flying. That was his personal P51.

[@JonNo86]

He's been a pilot since 1993. The original Top Gun inspired him. He has all of his pilot licenses, including his helicopter license, single pilot jet license, and even his air transport certificate, meaning he technically can fly airliners. He also has most of his aviation mechanics licenses.

[@DShipp85]

This movie is great. I like how this movie, Blow, Snowfall FX, & Narcos are all connected to this "War On Drugs" CIA, Contras, The Medellín Cartel, & Sandinistas.

[@Turrtlezzs]

I recommend you read "Dark Alliance" by Gary Webb. Or you can watch "Shoot the Messenger" for the cliff notes, decent flick with Jeremy Renner. Gary Webb exposed it, then 'committed suicide' by shooting himself in the head; twice.

[@Atheos-1]

Odd, how you left Reagan off of that list, considering that none of it exists without his fascist ass?

[@jamesbolling6681]

My dad flew for Pan Am , at the Miami airport , pilots were constantly being approached by South American "bussiness" people to fly planes 1 way from Colombia to Florida. $100K for a 6 hour flight . The planes were death traps. Held together with duct tape and bailing wire.

[@Peg__]

I believe ya. My fella worked as an æro-mechanic at an USAF base as a contracted civilian mechanic, and other airlines and private planes for decades 'til 2001. The stories and experiences I've heard and learned from coworkers and others I've met through the years, sound so outstanding when you 1st hear it, that the general public would not believe it. I do not doubt they knew who D.B.Cooper was, and who was traficking drugs and humans for the U.S. gov. These guys are either now dead, have since switched careers within their trade, or are retiring in a couple years. As information is declassified and movies are being made about this era, it's mind-blowing whern you hear their truth, and then decades later it's depicted in a documentary video or film. Don't know about you, but part of me thinks we should be writing all the stories down.😅

[@chrispruett81]

YES.. Tom Cruise is an actual pilot in real life.. so yes.. you really see him flying in this movie and others!

[@bigheadflattie]

Speaking of the birth place of blow. BLOW is the movie the 2 of you should definitely watch.

[@thenungzo]

Great film indeed. One of Johnny Depps great performances.

[@Knightowl1980]

Underrated forgotten Tom cruise film one of his best

[@jetsstabler]

Yes, Tom Cruise is flying the plane.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

"MADE IN AMERICA" REFERS TO THE AMERICAN-MADE DRUG WAR...TO SUPPORT DEA, ETC.

[@jiml7401]

BJ asked if Cruise was really flying that plane?.....He's a hellava pilot in his own right, so I'm sure he's flying in some of those shots for sure!

[@reactioncompilationallstars]

Y'all need to get into more Tom Cruise movies. Top tier

[@Turrtlezzs]

Another great vid you guys! Barry Seal, crazy story. You should do "Shoot the Messenger" next, about Gary Webb and exposing what the CIA did in the USA in the 80's....

[@johnnymclaneutah]

cant say if tom cruise flew the plane for real (i wouldnt be surprised if he did) but according to my google research tom cruise has had pilots license since 1994 which again isnt surprising.. he does seem like a guy that would be interested in flying etc. he does alot of his own stunts too.

[@JordanJMyers]

Could you imagine doing that in real life lol Great flick and of course Tom Cruise is awesome as always.

[@jerrychandler657]

Interesting fact: George W Bush bought Barry Seals plane.

[@CRACKERBOX72]

I was born and raised in Mena. It was a "rumor" during this time that Barry was running his operation out of the airport.

[@gregkirby9059]

see the stuff TOM does for stunts flying a plane is peanuts

[@MrTrevisco]

Oh wow, I'm so pleased you are watching this film, as much as it is dramatised, the truth of what happened is there, the corruption immense.

[@rogersmith707]

I live in Mena where this really took place. The house he lived in is across from the airport. I've been in the house and told the owner I would dig up everywhere because there was money not found in the property search lol

[@ladycaruso]

Loved your reaction! :D. Not only did Tom fly the plane, but he did actually go outside on the wing while the plane was in autopilot! 👀😃. Love him, he will do a helluva lot for a movie.

[@TimmyTOnTheFly]

This is based on a true story and one of my favorite movies. Our government set up Barry Seale to infiltrate Escobar's cartel, which you saw. What the government won't tell you is that the CIA leaked that he was an informant to protect their own ass and have deniability to the public. Which caused Pablo to send a hit squad and gunned him down in his car. There is a lot of books on this and one of my favorites is American Made by Shaun Attwood. He breaks down the whole thing. Great vid and stay blessed! ✊🏽💙💯

[@Letha-Mae]

That would be a cool merch hoodie Asia American MADE

[@yepimheretoo2270]

As others have commented, Shoot the Messenger is a really good movie about the reporter Gary Webb & how he broke the story on this.

[@davidryan1295]

Another good film that is based on these events is Kill the Messenger (2014), starring Jeremy Renner.

[@louielouie22]

Yes, Tom is a pilot in real life too. Blow was a good true story too.

[@paulamoya7956]

Baseball,Hotdogs, Apple Pie & Chevrolet 🎼

[@corvuslight]

For those who don't know, read 'Dark Alliance' by David Webb.

[@brendanwillmore2335]

I recommended this to you guys the other day 😊🔥🔥please react to Three Kings 🔥

[@jaymikesmovienites3452]

When Asia says: Say man!? She is serious. 😂😂😅😅

[@ibdiesel44]

First of all, Great Movie !!!! But for me...the original version "Double Crossed" is even better. Dennis Hopper's performance matches Barry Seal's character every bit if not more than Cruise's in my opinion, and I'm a Big Tom Cruise fan.

[@Mickkie]

Yeah, Barry was gunna' tell EVERY thing, ABOUT, "EV ERY" thing.

[@SuperLiorr]

Tom Cruise is the one who flies the planes in the movie really he also did it in "Maverick" he is crazy 😅

[@danielfardella1622]

I watched this again with you guys, great movie and this poor guy was nuts! "Trust your Gov" (RU kiddin?)

[@angelagraves865]

I haven't heard Hooked on Classics in forever!

[@carameldiva5131]

As a kid we drove through Mena every year on our way to Texarkana. Mena is truly one of those towns that if you blink you'll miss it 😂. One year there was a big snow/ice storm just before Christmas. We stopped at this diner in Mena to call our family to let our family know we were almost there. Walking back from the outdoor payphone, my step mom slipped and fell. When I tell you they turned them lights off so fast. Even the damn Christmas lights!!! I'm telling you we still Crack up about that to this day!!!😂😂😂😂

[@corvuslight]

Remember kids: "Just Say No..."

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

Speaking of Blow you should watch that too

[@philmakris8507]

"Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet" AMERICA!!!

[@eddieanderson9399]

This movie was awesome and crazy. Do BOTH of yourselves a favor now and watch "PLANE" with Gerard Butler and do a movie reaction for that. I'd love to see what you guys thought. Another trippy crazy ride. 👍 Also "CopShop" with Gerard Butler was great too.

[@thefatman2780]

NEVER SAW THIS ONE BUT WANTED TO. WATCHED THE DOCUMENTARY OF THE STORY THIS WAS BASED ON I BELIEVE.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Underrated

[@iamthecocoacure6519]

I just watched this on Friday lol

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

"BLOW" WAS KINDA THE SAME...I THINK😎😎😎😎

[@igloo2158]

Guaranteed Tom was flying that plane. Check out the stunts he did in his last 2 Mission Impossible movies. He’s a crazy man.

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

Yous guys should check out "Lord of War" with Nicolas Cage.

[@Hype679]

One of the greatest crime movies ever made. Fictionalized about as hard as this one, but damn is it a classic.

[@nlgrrtt]

I was born and raised in Mena, AR which is were the airport was.

[@trevorvoisin4729]

I was born and raised in Mena, AR. This movie only scratches the surface of the corruption and crazy shit happening at that airport and Mena itself. Clinton was seen several times in Mena aswell as the general Oliver North. Also rumors of training foreign fighters in the ouachita mountains around the city.

[@bonefish6844]

Great reaction! You need to do Sicario next to keep the theme going.

[@paulamoya7956]

Hell Yes! Tom Cruises flys planes!!!✈️ 🎉

[@williamscoggin1509]

Fun movie. Scary moments and some funny ones too.

[@arthurlindquist]

Tom Cruise is a pilot and owns a few planes himself. He actually pilots the fighter jet in Maverick TopGun

[@blindsurvival8570]

Have you two seen Big Trouble In Little China? It's from the mid 80's, starring Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall. I think you'd love the action & comedy.

[@evanz4473]

Watch "The Edge" a thriller from 1997. One of my favorite movies!

[@lauriebarrett6789]

90's thriller suggestion - "Breakdown" starring Kurt Russell.

[@bryantsanders6869]

Lets gooooooi

[@jaydubs6354]

You guys have to look up the interview with roger reeves on the Shawn Ryan show podcast. He and Barry seal flew drugs together. Roger was a world class smuggler and has been in jail probably in every continent aside Antarctica 😂 and escaped from many of them too. One of the most incredible and crazy stories I’ve ever heard

[@gunnarerickson3251]

You guys are amazing, love your videos. Have you seen Spy Game yet?

[@haroldrhodes2610]

Folks gonna think this story exaggerates the 80's, but I live Eastern Oklahoma and there were hundreds of these small dirt runways everywhere, odd part is, aint nobody around here ever had a plane.

[@sonyaclarke7586]

Glad to be here

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE "SONS OF ANARCHY" 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kevindobson3701]

Been waiting for a reaction to this movie for a long time I love this movie !

[@DaviniaHill]

There is a Bryan Cranston film where this character appears for about 2 minutes.

[@hunter1961100]

Tom is a pilot he owns a P 51 mustang and he is jet qualified

[@scottanderson7718]

Tom Cruise is a real pilot.

[@gregkirby9059]

TOM CRUISE!

[@timriehl1500]

Please watch Pieces of April, 2003 for Thanksgiving. It's the perfect Thanksgiving movie.

[@quincee3376]

Reagan was prez and Clinton was governor of Arkansas.

[@Zohancult]

Yes Tom Cruise is a licensed pilot.

[@travisirius]

Look up: two teens killed on railroad tracks in Mena, Arkansas….

[@yepimheretoo2270]

'Boys on the Tracks'. Some "accident", hey 😢

[@B-Killin]

Don Henry is a relative of mine!

[@B-Killin]

One of the best journalism pieces i have ever seen or read about the case was done by a youtube channel called Carnage On Ice. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to go down the government’s cover up of what all was going on in Arkansas in the late 80’s.

[@CybermanBill]

You bet your life Tom Cruise is flying that plane.! He is a licensed and certified pilot and the first do all Jones stunts where he can. So yes, I can guarantee that was Tom landing the plane really and taking the plane off

[@agsaay]

great film.

[@quincee3376]

Great movie.

[@goranalpeza7147]

Tom is the pilot in real life🫡

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

Tom cruise is the Man! 😊👍👌😆👊✊🍁

[@scottbarkley496]

Great reaction for a Great movie .. Hopefully, you react to more TOM CRUISE movies

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

PRESIDENT CLINTON WAS GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS BEFORE HE RAN FOR PRES.👍👍👍👍

[@joshythehand2960]

Yep.. Clinton made the call to get him out of jail.. and some say he made a piece of the money brought back. Look up the story about the 2 young guys who ended up dead after seeing something they shouldn't have here in Arkansas

[@Cuddie994]

Theirs another movie called “American Me” a Hispanic CLASSIC MOVIE YOU SHOULD REACT TO ALONG EJTH BLOOD UN BLOOD OUT 💯!!!!!

[@ezekielhernand9127]

This movie give me sweat because the MONEY, it like the movie call Triple Frontier with Ben Affleck

[@SuperBigblue19]

The 3 guys from the cartel hit squad that killed Seal all got life. Miguel Velez, who was convicted of killing drug smuggler Barry Seal in 1986, died while serving his sentence at Angola State Penitentiary in 2015. Luis Carlos Quintero-Cruz, who was the actual shooter had clemency denied in Sept 2023. Bernardo Antonio Vasquez was denied clemency in Jan 2023

[@jarretthoward4593]

Tom cruise does all his stunts including fly planes jets

[@2.Plus.2.Equals.5]

Great movie based off true events. Somehow this one slips under the radar like the traffickers did.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

CHECK OUT "THE EXPENDABLES I, II III" ACTION PACKED!!

[@buddah1221]

if you like this check out John Singleton's Snowfall it's a fictionalized version of Rick Ross's story

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

SEE "WAG THE DOG" ANOTHER SCHEMY POLITICAL MOVIE. DeNIRO, WOODY HARRALSON, DUSTIN HOFFMAN...GREAT FILM!!! FUNNY😂😂😂

[@its_b_5337]

ay you 2 ever see "The Town" with Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner ? "Homefront" with Jason Statham ?

[@chrisclanton4430]

He was murdered about 3 miles from my house. It was a Salvation Army, he was staying there at night. It was a halfway house. The Columbians knew where he'd be every night. The govt set him up, a sitting duck.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Forgot about Columbia, other Latin countries!!!

[@gregkirby9059]

[@Keithjmcc]

Tom Cruise is a pilot

[@jesse33cdn]

............❤❤❤❤❤...............

[@kevindobson3701]

Stigmata , 1999 psychological horror Starring Patricia Arquette , please

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Nice

[@djb10]

[@gambitm7480]
