BANGARANG!!! HOOK (1991) Movie Reaction! | FIRST TIME WATCHING!

Another stop on the Robin Williams train!
This movie was very fun, imaginative, and downright silly! It was super fun to watch Robin Williams go from big ol' business man who isn't the very best parent to, well, a child in adult form! As per usual, he played his role very well!
I hope you all enjoy this reaction!

[@NikkieTwix]

The pirate who gets put in the boo box is Glenn Close, which still to this day blows my mind! And the reason Wendy had aged so much compared to Peter is because Peter would only come back to visit Wendy so he didn’t age until he finally stayed because he liked Moira and then he started to age

[@pingidjit]

I don't care what anyone says, this is the best kids' movie. It doesn't talk down to you and actually deals with concerns I remember having as a child. As a same time you can painfully relate to it as an adult. Jack tearing up when Hook says his father doesn't love him because he actually believes it, and Peter's happy thought being becoming a father always makes me cry.

[@themiIes]

"Oh there you are Peter" together with the music in that scene ALWAYS gives me goosebumps and tears me up. Thanks for that one. Was a nice experience to see it for the first time through your eyes 😊

John Williams is a legendary composer

[@trayolphia5756]

Yeah, that score at that moment…always takes me back to the school classroom on a rainy afternoon where the film got put on for during the lunch break cos we couldn’t go outside, that instant feeling of childhood innocence… Similarly the music during the hand off of Peter choosing who to leave in charge, and that music swell as the kids run to hug their mother who is understandably in confused shock Side note from that combo of Spielberg and williams - as Peter is being take to neverland, the couple on the bridge who start to fly is George Lucas and I believe his wife…

[@larryclowers]

The fear of ticking comes from after Peter cut off Hooks hand he fed it to the crocodile that had also swallowed a clock. The croc liked the taste so much that he was constantly hunting Hook trying to eat him.

[@Yugioh420]

You forgot that the ticking of the clock was a warning the crock was close by.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

also the ticking clock and the croc was also meant to represent hooks fear of death, representing age and time taking its toll on him. that’s why Hook remains in Neverland, becasue aging is slowed there even for adults like him.

[@Yugioh420]

@@mckenzie.latham91 it's not slowed. You dont age in Neverland. Only the amount of time you spend outside of Neverland accumulated to the age you grow. He was out killing other pirates and looking for Peter in the real world, I think that's why he got older anyway

[@digitaladventurer2142]

@@Yugioh420 Well in this movie's universe adults like Hook may age. They never state when Hook and Peter's rivalry started but if we assume Hook was in his 20's when he arrived in neverland and I think Peter may have already have been there for a long time by that point so minus the roughly 20 years Peter was gone (he was 12 when he left and probably 30s by now) thats still a couple decades he could have fought Hook as a boy

[@Yugioh420]

@@digitaladventurer2142 hook was in Neverland before peter pan. It's all one universe and all of them so far anyway have all coincided with each other in one time line. Hook didn't start to age until he left Neverland, he even mentioned in this movie how he smashed a certain clock after he Gutted a notorious pirate and set his ship a blaze. How many pirates did you think there are in Neverland? He clearly was sailing the seven seas of the mortal world looking for pan. And while Peter aged 20 years or so putting him in his mid 30s hook who was already in his 30s if not 40s is now in his late 50s early 60s. Trust me I've seen every peter pan movie over a thousand times. Animated or None.

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

I love how they emphasized Hook's fear of a clock ⏰. Neverland is supposed to be a place where time stops. Nobody ages. Kids stay kids, adults don't die. They wrote it in a way where both kids and adults can relate. Kids don't wanna grow up, and adults don't wanna die. But for Hook, they made it so that a crocodile swallowed a clock amd now the ticking turns into Hook's fear of his life ending. Either being eaten alive or by time passing by, he is aging and dying naturally. I think that's a brilliant metaphor.

[@zoeadams2635]

One of my favourite films as a kid 😁 The "imaginary food" and "Oh, there you are, Peter!" always warm my heart.

[@OGBReacts]

True!! Such good parts!

[@kateiannacone2698]

"I can't believe Rufio died!" Yeah, this one is way darker than the Disney version. Also, the Disney version leaves out some important bits from the original story to make it more child friendly, like when Tinkerbell (who is so small that she only has room for one feeling at a time, because that's how emotions work, I guess...lol!) Drinks poison to save Peter, or the quote, "To die would be an awfully big adventure," all of which are referenced in the movie. And I really like how they turned it around and said "To live would be an awfully big adventure." That's a really positive message to come out of this.

[@moonbrooke27]

I love Hook as a sequel, but my favorite adaption of Peter and Wendy is certainly Peter Pan (2003 film).

[@woodbbl]

@@moonbrooke27 I just recommended that in a comment! It's a beautiful movie. I really enjoy stories that are played with by different people at different times so you get a lovely story that varies slightly depending on who's telling it. Shakespeare plays are an obvious example but Peter Pan has had that happen as well. I love it!

[@Yugioh420]

@@woodbbl same, I also recommend Pan as the Ultimate prequel

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Heh..yeah...and in the book, the lost boys were more like murderous banditry. It was said that under Wendy's influence, whole days could pass without them killing even so much as a bear!

[@Yugioh420]

@@jean-paulaudette9246 not so much murderous bandits as street urchins self trained to survive the streets dropped into a fantasy world where pirates run around killing anything they like. They already grew up in the darker side of life so survival among this land was the next step. Add in there role models are fairies who only hold onto one emotion at a time, and you got some dark little bastards running wild in the woods. The lost boys, street urchins lost to the world of society first then the world at large next. No morals no manners, no regrets

One amusing side note is that Charlie Korsmo, who played Jack, quit acting to become a lawyer upon growing up, which he was good enough at to be recognized by President Barack Obama in 2011. You have to wonder what Peter would think.

The film was nominated for 5 Oscars: Best Visual Effects Best Makeup Best Costume Design Best Art Direction Best Original Song. The film was a critical disappointment, as most cited to be too dark for a kids movie, while it made $300 million dollars at the box office against a $70 million dollar budget, which was a lot for Spielberg. He would later direct JURASSIC PARK and SCHINDLER'S LIST in 1993.

@@suicunesolsan I mean, adult critics judge kids movies all the time. Just because this particular judgement doesn't agree with yours doesn't mean it's a useless endeavor.

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

I'm also glad Peter's happy thoughts evolve as he gets older. Kids are easier to please, and have very little to worry about. So their happy thoughs are child-like wonder, simple things. But as an adult, Peter doesn't find happiness in a lot of things anymore. Adults are so stressed and depressed, that it takes more to make them happy. Peter has been sad for so long, he forgot why he left Neverland in the first place. Once he realized his family is more important than his career, he finally feels happy. His priorities are in order.

Watching this film and Good Morning Vietnam back to back really drives home how Williams was doing totally inverted roles in them. In Vietnam, he's a funny, goofy guy stuck in a serious situation, while in Hook, he's a an uptight, serious guy stuck in a weird, silly situation. Not every comedy actor can do both so well (another who's great at it is Steve Martin; just compare The Jerk and All of Me).

It's a shame Spielberg doesn't like the film. It's never fun to watch interviews about a film you love and they basically talk bad about it.

[@KujoJay]

McGonagall is actually one of my favorites characters from Harry Potter. I had a pet tarantula named Minerva after her.

[@briangus182]

Did you recognize that the actor that played Eddie in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" played Smee (Hook's right hand man)

[@OGBReacts]

Omg You’re right!

[@PhilBagels]

@@OGBReacts The stars of our movie today are: The Genie of the Lamp, Rain Man, Eddie Valiant, Pretty Woman, and Professor McGonagall.

[@veronicagross7458]

OMG NO and I watched them so many many times... I can´t believe never noticed that.

[@pingidjit]

Even though I know the boo box pirate is Glenn Close, it still amazes me. I love this film for so many reasons and have watched it more times than is probably okay. LOL Glad you watched it too :)

[@cyberpunkspacejams]

Fun fact: This movie was actually meant to be a musical.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

There’s a lot of cool things that you don’t notice at first in the film. like when peter goes into the nursery and he sees the history of Wendy and her brothers going to Neverland painted on the walls, as well as the hook latch for the window. when Tootles wakes up from Nanna 2’s barking you see wendy's brothers, michael and john's hat and teddy bear from the original journey to Neverland when they were kids, as well as the bottle Model of Hooks ship, the Jolly roger when Peter and wendy come home after hooks napped their kids, you see a long tear in the wall from the door, up the stairs to the nursery which was hook using his hook hand to leave a trail to lead Peter to the site of his children’s kidnapping and Hook's note When Maggie’s singing the song about not being alone, you see all the private transfixed but Hook, whose made uncomfortable by the song and leaves this is because Hook is incapable of love and fears dying alone, he cannot connect to the song because he’s so black hearted he’s incapable of understanding the love behind it, and not being alone. etc. etc.

Yay! One of my fav movies ever! One of the first movies I ever saw! My poor little rufio! Rufio was my first crush! So love Dante to this day! Oddly enough the one who wanted a dad like robin/ Peter Got the firelord 😂🤣 But omg john williams score is the best! I play it on piano almost every day! 😍💖🤩 Fun movie! Could watch it anytime I do atleast once a week! But yea trivia is great! Rufio's death yanked Jack outta his brainwash! George Lucas and Carrie fisher are the couple on the bridge that float under the dropping fairy dust lol Glenn close is the boo box pirate the ship was one the biggest sets up until that point😍 Magical movie! Paved the way

[@christiananderson4909]

This was my favorite film, as a kid. John Williams' score is awesome.

[@nickperkins8477]

The man who plays Mr. Smee in this movie, Bob Hoskins, also plays Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He was an amazing British actor.

[@nickperkins8477]

I love how Peter immediately acquires his classic green tights when he discovers he can fly. 😂😂😁😁. Spielberg does his own Clark Kent to Superman moment with that decision.

[@zoehession3225]

This is such a classic. You should defo watch Good Will Hunting, it’s a really powerful movie 🙂

[@ruthdeckman9781]

Yes! There's that one part I just can't watch without crying my eyes out.

[@FreakDaMIghet]

It amazes me that the old lady make up they used on Dame Maggie Smith here actually turned out to be pretty accurate for what she ended up looking like thirty years later.

[@OGBReacts]

True!!

[@shainewhite2781]

RIP, Robin Williams. Also this movie is a guilty pleasure. Michael Jackson was considered to play Peter Pan, while David Bowie, Mick Jagger,and Tim Curry were considered for Hook. This movie was in development hell since 1985, and it was supposed to be a musical from Paramount Pictures. Spielberg wanted the film to he dark and serious, as well as being a family adventure film.

[@Rmlohner]

Curry did play Hook in the sadly forgotten Fox series Peter Pan and the Pirates.

[@PDAnimation]

“Wait... ain’t you...?” “Peter Pan” *Jumps out window* XD

[@nancyomalley6286]

@ 14:10 That's Glenn Close as the male pirate being put into the boo box! 10 years prior to this movie, she played Robin Williams' mother in "The World According to Garp" Just a little FYI!

[@DerHerrMitR]

When it's winter, to this day, whenever I'm visiting my parents and it happens to be snowing, my mom opens the door, yells "IT'S SNOWING" (In the German dubbed version he says "ES SCHNEIT JA!") and slams the door on me. I'm 40 and this will forever be my favorite movie.

[@Aegi97]

FINALLY someone reacted to this. I've waited so long - this is such a nostalgia filled movie for me

[@OGBReacts]

I hope you enjoyed!!

[@Aegi97]

For sure!

[@LovelessDogg1]

I can think of a number of films with Williams were he plays it straight throughout the movie and it’s amazing just how versatile he was as a performer. “One Hour Photo”, “Insomnia” “August Rush” and “Awakenings” are some of my favorites.

[@RyneMurray23]

This movie literally makes me cry... I think about the animated movie and I think about how wendy grew up without Peter.😭

[@victoriac4317]

I forgot how much I loved this movie, I used to watch it on vhs with my nana all the time. Pretty sure she still has the tape

[@coreyhendricks9490]

I haven't seen this film in years, so it's cool to react and revisit it.

[@mrsfahrenheit]

Even tho I’m 11 months late and someone probably already explained that to you - Wendy is significantly older than Peter because Peter Pan always was the boy who’d never grow up. If you want to stay at Neverland you can’t grow up, ever! That’s Peter‘s rule. If you start to grow up you will have to leave. Wendy decided to grow up at the end of the original story (same for her brothers), so she aged on meanwhile Peter remained a 12 year old- ish boy. Now in this Maggie Smith aka grandma Wendy has said that Peter only decided to leave Neverland, and therefore to grow up when he saw Moira (his now wife) for the first time and fell in love with her. So at that point Wendy probably already was a grown woman. Since Peter Pan in the original story doesn’t have a mother because he fell out of his trolly as a little baby and became „lost“ (and therefor also forbid all of the other „lost boys“ to have one/ think of theirs - another one of his rules If you want to stay) Wendy decided to adopt him and raise him as like he was her own child. Another important thing worth mentioning is that If you stayed at Neverland but decided to return to your parents and to grow up you will loose your memories of Neverland and all the adventures you’ve encountered. They will fade away and soon will only feel like a distant dream you’ve once had when you were a child. Same goes for everyone who stays at Neverland for too long, being the reason why Jack in this starts forgetting about home. That’s why Peter doesn’t have his memories anymore, now that he’s all grown up. Wendy however is the excuse (big metaphor for the reason why that is exactly) and even tho her brothers forgot about Neverland and Peter Pan and their adventures- she never did. (probably because Wendy never actually chose to grow up and was more forced to but always remained a child at heart). Really recommend you to listen to/ read the original story which is actually quite scary If I’m being real honest. It’s kinda like a dark fairytale, meanwhile the Disney movie (even tho beautiful and amazing!!) is a lot less gloomy but more light hearted and sweet. I’d recommend both actually. ♥️🙋🏼‍♀️

[@gedren_y8775]

I usually don't comment on videos that have been on KZbin for a significant amount of time, but what I have to say is worth the commenting. There is a story from the set of Hook that I thought you'd like to know. Steven Spielberg, at the same time as the filming of Hook, was producing a made-for-TV cartoon Christmas movie based on one of Berkeley Breathed's comic strip stories. The cartoon is called A Wish For Wings That Work, and in it Robin plays a manic depressive Kiwi in a flightless birds support group. How he got the role is the story. Berkeley Breathed came by the set of Hook to show Spielberg some storyboards, Robin was passing by, and seeing the storyboards proceeded to act out (in full Peter Pan costume) the kiwi role. He was offered the part right then, and his voice was recorded that night. Dustin Hoffman was given the role of a cockroach, who's single line, it is said, took him about four dozen attempts to get right.

[@The_RedVIII]

I still absolutely love this movie. There is so much fun and heart in this movie. It's just such a feel good movie all around. It's sad that it has this mixed reception, which I just cannot understand at all. It's just wonderful.

[@BigJackFilms]

12:18 "You are NOT...in Kansas anymore." Funny you say that because most of the movie was filmed in the same stages they shot The Wizard Of Oz back in the 30s. In fact you spoke that reference on the scene where the Croc clock is which is the exact spot where Dorthey said those lines. The Pirate Town was on the same stage as Munchkin Land and the Dock/Pirate Ship set was on the stage where they filmed The Emerald City. Most of Hook was shot at Sony Studios in LA, which was formally owed by MGM in the golden age of Hollywood.

[@pjelly633]

OMG soooooo glad you are reviewing this one, this was the first movie I watched with Robin Williams, he was a phenomenal actor. I know your going to love this move.....yay time to watch the review 😁

[@giuliapicchiotti]

I freaking love this movie, it has my favourite lines from a movie EVER = Wendy : "So Peter.... your adventures are over !". Peter : "Oh, no. To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure !! "

[@henninggirl261]

Hook: “Peter’s here again! Time to go fuck with him!” Um….yes? 🥴🤣

[@zakthepenguin5106]

So the reason why is afraid of clocks, is because he gets PTSD over the sound of the ticking because it reminds him of the crocodile that ate his hand

[@bullseyecello]

Ever since we lost Robin I haven’t been able to finish this movie without breaking into tears

[@tomyoung9049]

would have probably been a little less confusing if you knew more about Peter Pan before. But there was enough exposition to get you thru it by the end. The 'ticking' was also part of Hooks fear. The crocodile that ate his hand had also swallowed a clock so whenever he heard ticking it was 'the crocodile' coming back to get him. A good reaction, its a fun movie trying to blend the real world with a classic child's story.

[@OGBReacts]

Thank you! I was entirely sure I’d Hook was about Peter Pan but even before I started I kinda figured it was because it was called Hook 🤪

[@RollTide1987]

The reason why only men stood up at the Children's Hospital banquet is because they were the Lost Boys that Wendy brought back to our world with her.

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

That couple that were kissing on the bridge when Tink was taking Peter back to Neverland, they were George Lucas and Carrie Fisher.

[@morganrobinson2436]

I always find the scene when the lost boys ‘discover’ Peter again. Like we loose joy and happiness as we become adults, and loose sense of who we are.

[@EmilyKresl]

Jeez I'm feeling old af remembering seeing all these amazing Robin Williams movies in the theatre. This is another gem I've been happy to share with my kids, and I have made lots of friends in my life just because they yawped,"bangarang!!" when I yelled "Rufi-oooohhhh!" randomly in class :)

Finally! There have been very few reaction channels so far (like, basically none) who´ve reacted to this. And this has been one of my all time favorite movies since my childhood and it´s commonly criminally underrated imo. So yeah, I´m very happy to see this and I send you my love...
