The best thing about Arnie's pure action films is that they never took themselves too seriously.

Arnolds movies were not parodies or comedies, they were dead serious each time, Predator is not a comedy any more than Conan the Barbarian or Commando. The comedy came when he did Twins.

There's a reason Arnold was the greatest action movie star of all time. I grew up watching Arnold movies at sleepovers, this and running man were favorites of ours.

[@insolentMinx47]

the mall scene took place in del amo mall in torrance, california. used to shop there with my grandmother when i was a kid

[@markacamacho]

Alyssa Milano was in a tv show called "whos the boss" damn, that showed my age.

[@DataCab1e]

When she said she didn't realize the age difference between Alyssa and Arnold, my first thought was "Well, there's somebody that's never seen Who's The Boss."

[@markacamacho]

@@DataCab1e Wow, that is funny because I was thinking the same thing, but then again, they are a young couple, so I can't blame them, lol.

[@goochdawg]

Yup. and she used to go out with corey haim

[@StevenRice]

This one is the most Arnold of all Arnold movies in my opinion. It's an unfiltered lake of pure mindless amazing action, with all the quips and absurdity you have to just love to watch. A+

[@leeannmcdermott8313]

Have you seen Twins with Arnold and Danny DeVito? It’s a comedy, cute and fun

[@TBRSchmitt]

No but it is coming soon!

[@thunderstruck5484]

Yes Twins is very good Devito at his best

[@formatique_arschloch]

In the final shootout, the same guy with moustache dies about 600 times. He's pretty much in every frame.

[@m.a.t.t.2978]

You guys are Fantastic!! 📽⭐....you React to a great variety of Movie genre....and you really bring awesome feel good vibes to your viewers.... Yall are ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@deathproofpony]

The guy who plays Sully is David Patrick Kelly, who was the "Come out and play-ayyyyy" guy in The Warriors and the villain in Dreamscape (another awesom 80's flick)

[@TheBernito2]

Arnold's daugther is played by Alissa Milano. Christ Pratt plays Starlord, and his ship is called 'the Milano'. Christ Pratt maried Arnold's real daugther!

[@vincentpulido9463]

🤯

[@strutter051085]

Fun fact: I didn't know this until about a year ago cause he looks SO different but the actor who plays Bennett (the guy killed with the steam pipe) is the same guy who played Wez (the biker with the red mohawk) in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

[@stevenjones916]

Commando = Instant "like"

[@TBRSchmitt]

Excellent lol! My plan worked!

[@maximillianosaben]

This is a highlight of 80's action movies. (They re-use many of the same soldiers in the climax, as well as cutouts of soldiers in front of the explosions. You can see a guy with a big mustache in particular die many times.)

[@necrofuryan5899]

You guys gotta do last action hero, definitely one of Arnold's underappreciated classics.

[@buzbom1]

Saw this when it came out on rental VHS in my mid 20's. As soon as I saw Bennett, I was like....oh crap(sh##) it's Wez from Road Warriors. And he does have a real sounding voice...lol. From what I've read he was quite the comedian around the set with every film he's done. Now 75yrs young. Thank you Vernon Wells for some iconic characters over the last 40 or so years.

[@shainewhite2781]

2:34, Arnold and his big Biceps! They are as big as my head! Lol!

[@TBRSchmitt]

Hahaha huge!

[@pricey6177]

Let off some steam Bennett is still the best line in a Arnie movie. Glorious

[@danishhald]

I have seen this movie so many times! I love the action. Given the one liners from Matrix I think he was working on a stand up routine on the side. Man that car wreck into the pole is jarring every time. Ironically she would have gone airborne. Also back in the mall that drug dealer could have escaped but had to come out shooting! I’m pretty sure Sully screams “ooh la la!” When he plummeted to his death.

[@TBRSchmitt]

Hahaha yeah she should have gone flying! Just a totally fun movie!

[@danishhald]

@@TBRSchmitt So good.

[@ToniMcGinty]

Val Verde, the fictional country where the finale takes place, is repeated in Die Hard 2 and Predator (which also links it into the Alien universe). This makes the Val Verde Cinematic Universe bigger than anything! Look it up!

[@thunderstruck5484]

I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing through your whole reaction that was so fun thanks it was almost like a Naked Gun movie so many laughs, please react to “ The Warriors “ classic

[@namelessjedi2242]

Good call, that would be an interesting movie to see them react to. I have not seen a KZbin reactor do it yet.

[@TBRSchmitt]

Awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@thunderstruck5484]

@@namelessjedi2242 yes and Sully actor is in the Warriors also kind of the 80s gang of actors in Arnold movies good memories

[@JRcomments]

@@namelessjedi2242 ............Come out and playyayyayay

[@bamabluesman]

The actor that played 'Bennett' was the same guy in Road Warrior with the mohawk and chaps. Another funny action movie - 'Innerspace' he plays another bad guy. I think he is a fun bad guy.

[@LordVolkov]

David Patrick Kelly (Sully) plays great villainous creeps. Check him out in The Crow and the Walter Hill cult classic The Warriors.

[@scottknode898]

He was also a bad guy in 48 Hours as Luther and was a Irish Mob boss in the Bruce Willis movie Last man standing with Christopher Walken playing David Patrick Kellys psychotic right hand man.

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

I never considered myself an "Arnold fan", but now rewatching all these movies with you I realized that actually some of my all-time favorites are Arnold movies: Predator, the 2 first Terminator movies, Conan, Total Recall, The last action hero, True lies... even the cheesy "bad" ones like Running man, Commando, Raw deal... are fantastic, funny movies. I you keep watching Arnold movies you may want to check some day "Sabotage". Nobody seems to like it and flopped on the box office, but I like it a lot. Is a dark, serious, violent movie and one of the best Arnold performances (or at least he tries to act), no cheesy one-liners in that one.

[@shainewhite2781]

8:40, in the Director's Cut, she says," Not as nice when he kicks your ass."

[@RC-nv4bh]

That casual kill on the plane never gets old! I still laugh every time I see it! :D
