COP LAND (1997) Movie Reaction w/ Coby FIRST TIME WATCHING

Discover (or re-discover) Cop Land w/ Coby !

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

Yes, the other familiar faces are Michael Rappaport and Robert Patrick. You will probably also recognize Peter Berg. A very good yet, intense Peter Berg directed movie you might consider is "The Kingdom" from 2007. It has a very recognizable cast also.

This in my opinion was Stallone's best pure acting role and he did a hellacious job

[@jamesamelia2812]

Damn right he did!

[@GeorgeTropicana]

It's weird that he thinks this movie had a negative impact on his career

[@Lopyswine]

Rocky

[@bluecollartradesman715]

@@GeorgeTropicana It did have a negative impact. He was the main character, the star of the film and it underperformed. Right after this Sylvester stopped getting decent roles. It wasn’t until 2006 when Rocky Balboa was released that his career came out of the slump. Hollywood is strange, because Copland is a fantastic film.

"All the best girls were taken." A heartbreaking line. But it's "I can't hear you, Ray" that is the most telling. Freddie's absolution from his misguided loyalty is complete.

[@domenicgalata1470]

It’s one of the roles of his that isn’t necessarily on screen for long but he is very memorable. Jackie Brown was another role he was so good in and with limited screen time he made the most of it.

[@mrtveye6682]

Great choice. After Stallone was "cornered" into the simple muscle-packed action star stereotype over the 80s and early 90s, this was a great reminder how good of a actor Stallone really is, when he can play serious roles. Not an easy task to hold your own against heavy hitters like De Niro, Keitel, Liotta etc. Unfortunately that movie never received the recognition it would have deserved.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

This movie alone separates Stallone from Arnie. Sly's performance is nuanced and effective.

[@t0dd000]

He chased the money.

[@misterlexx2721]

​@@o0pinkdino0oNo comparison! Stallone is a very good dramatic actor. In First Blood he delivered well too. It was a crime drama not an action. The sequels though were action.

[@xaviperez26]

This film is a hidden gem.

This was a really good movie that totally flew under everyone's radar. Stallone got a lot of props for his acting in this and not being reliant on an action flick.

It flew under the radar then caught everyone by surprise.

[@t0dd000]

This film was huge. Much loved. Lots of accolades, and Stallone reminded everyone what he is capable of. Great film.

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction, There are some fun-facts about this movie. Originally, Ray Liotta wanted the role of Sheriff Freddy Heflin, while Sylvester Stallone wanted the role of Gary "Figgsy" Figgis. Two deleted scenes primarily show the racism in the town of Garrison. One scene involves all the resident police officers chasing down a pair of black motorists, and the other shows Heflin's deputy pointing out that the majority of the tickets issued in Garrison go to black motorists on charges that suggest racial profiling. Robert De Niro improvised the sandwiches in his scene, which were an afterthought. Although it is stated during in the credits that the movie isn't based on a true story, James Mangold did grew up in Washingtonville, New York, which was a place where lots of policemen's families lived. In an interview, he mentioned that the film was based on his experiences of growing up in his hometown among the many children of these cops. Keep up the good work.

[@johntappen1851]

Coby you have to watch Midnight Run . Possibly the best comedy performance from De Niro. Also a great chemistry with the late great Charles Groden. I saw this and it was really good. You will get a lot of laughs from this.

[@MrPaulb1982]

This is top 3 Sylvester Stallone performances...such a underrated movie..one of my favourites.

[@BigTone_1701]

Coby, have you ever seen the 1988 action-comedy movie "Midnight Run" with Robert DeNiro? (and Charles Grodin. Yaphet Kotto, John Ashton, Dennis Farina, and Joe Pantoliano). DeNiro plays a bounty hunter who is trying to bring Charles Grodin (mob accountant) in to his bail bondsman for jumping bail. Meanwhile, Yaphet Kotto leads an FBI team pursuing Grodin, while Dennis Farina leads the mobsters, and John Ashton (from Beverly Hills Cop I & II) is contracted by bail bondsman Joe Pantoliano to also hunt down Grodin since DeNiro is apparently screwing up this quick job (a "midnight run'). GREAT action comedy of the 80s!

[@markc.7984]

Surprisingly good little film, excellent dramatic performance from Sly showing more of his range than we'd seen before.

[@NemeanLion-]

I’m only watching this because Coby is so delightful. She respects the classics and appreciates a legendary cast.

I love that movie best ray movie he stole the movie from kurt Russell

[@mattesrocket]

unfortunately the movie was rated not very high, some critics were not so good, but for me it's a top 20 or top 30 movie. The topic is nothing special, but the characters showed interesting variations how to go through the troubles of the real society and all the sumbling stones in your life and a lot of that was expressed in iconic sayings. Etc. And the music and vibes of the early 90ies (when I was a young adult), I like just to get this atmosphere. Movies are sometimes not about the craziest story or super special acting, but about the atmosphere all in all. It's getting even better, when you watched it a couple of times. Not many youtubers reacted to it, good you did.

[@theflatbunny8322]

I know Stallone is an A-list actor and box office draw but I always thought he was massively underrated as an actor. I mean he's not the the greatest, but he's soooo much more than his pigeon hole has allowed. Always thought Pete Berg was great too. Just had the wrong roles. Him in the great white hype was hilarious!

[@seansmith3665]

I remember watching this and realizing it’s an urban western. I like that it was one of James Mangold’s earlier films that he wrote & directed. I remember Stallone gained weight to be more believable as the sheriff.

[@crayb420]

These films stayed with me, Heat, Copland,Casino,Goodfellas, GoneBabyGone, these gangsters films were at par with gangsta films like menaceIIsociety ,boyz in the hood, etc. You should check out directors like quentin tarantino,etc😊

[@ronp1903]

Thanks for another great reaction Coby! I've always loved this film and am excited to see you react to Cop Land! And the movie cast for this flick was phenomenal!

Good reaction to this classic action crime drama Coby... And if you want to watch Cop Land again there is a longer extened director's cut (at 116 minutes vs the 101 minute theatrical cut... that's 15 minutes of extened & deleted scenes added back in making a very good film into a great film in my opinion). 😁

Quality reaction to a quality movie ! Good Vibes from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@salsanchez4177]

The difference between a Sheriff and a Police Officer is that Police Officers hired by a municipality must meet standards set by the city. A Sheriff is an ELECTED position and the Sheriff can hire anyone he pleases as long as, like him, they are certified Law Enforcement officers. Usually, thats all the requirements to be hired as a deputy. Now, in Texas, anyone holding a Law Enforcement certification must meet the standards set by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) to KEEP that certification so cops in Texas are always attending one class or another.

[@LordSnarff]

Great reaction, and so many of Your wise viewers said it better already. But, this came in an era when I was working too much. Saw it at home, on cable while sick as a dog with Covid a little while back. No earthly idea how I never saw it before! Just a fantastic movie with great parts portrayed! Love it and thanks!

[@robovike]

Rocky, First Blood and this film are the best performances by Sly that I've seen. Great cast. Did you check out the original "Bad Lieutenant" starring Keitel? The Abel Ferrara directed one, not the messy Werner Herzog remake (though he does make stellar documentaries)? That one is probably my favorite performance from Harvey--just out there on a wire and vulnerable and locked in. It's about a drug and gambling addicted corrupt cop whose vices control his life, and he delivers.

[@nickrizzi4927]

Im long in the tooth on movies, and love many, but it hurts that nobody ever mentions the great acting in Paradise Alley; a brilliant cult classic precurser. Your points well taken too!

I love it when reactors give more stuff of Stallone a chance instead just to watch the Rocky & Rambo franchises, so maybe someday you will also make a reaction to "Cliffhanger" (1990), Lock Up (1989) or "Over the Top" (1987), anyway I'm sure some people would love to see more from this on the channel.

Joey was played by Peter Berg, an actor and director. His acting roles range from a side character in Collateral, to the lead in Shocker (the Wes Craven film, not the vulgar hand motion.) He’s a fairly talented director, whose films may not always be good, but they’re usually entertaining: Battleship, Hancock, The Rundown, Lone Survivor, & The Kingdom.

[@MichaelAxe]

This is a favourite of mine. Stallone is great. Such a passive non descript character. I love all the Soprano cast cameos which I guess are because they are all stereotypical east coast character actors.

[@iggtastic]

I think he would have been great in the role. But it certainly would have been a different feel.

[@frankk600]

Hi Coby. This is my favorite Stallone movie. Three late 1960s, early 1970s crime movies worth checking out: Bonnie and Clyde with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. It was very controversial when it first came out in 1967 because of the naturalistic portrayal of the violence in it and the somewhat sympathetic portrayal of antihero criminals, which shocked audiences and film critics at the time. The French Connection, 1971, starring a young Gene Hackman is a drug bust movie worth a look. The last one is Bullitt, 1968, starring Steve McQueen as a San Francisco cop and features probably the most famous car chase scenes in American cinema. One more thing, as a De Niro fan you might want to check out Meet the Parents if you haven't seen it yet. It's a comedy and De Niro is great as a way too overprotective father. His creepiest role is in Cape Fear, playing a a deranged ex con out for revenge.

[@johndawhale3197]

Most stacked cast ever...RIP Ray Liotta.

[@ChrisReise]

Since you're a fan of Ray Liotta, you may or may not have seen it, but the first film I ever saw him in was from 1988. It's called "Dominick and Eugene" co-starring Tom Hulce. I thought his acting in that film was phenomenal. If you HAVEN'T seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it. (for Popcorn Roulette)

[@etxkevin7452]

One of the most underrated films of all time. Stallone proves again (Rocky) he can act and not just be an action star.

[@scottknode898]

I am 37 years old and being a big fan of action movies and action stars of 70s-90s particularly Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson among others. Cop Land is one of my favorite movies of Stallones even though as a kid may have not appreciated the film as much I do now after seeing Stallone in Rocky and Rambo films, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man etc. it shows Stallone could pull off dramatic roles besides typecast as a stoic, muscular character. One thing is Robert Patrick had the distinction of being killed onscreen by 3 of the biggest action stars Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 and Stallone in Cop Land.

[@ChrisReise]

17:41 "Look at this 'Raging Bull' VS 'Rocky'." Funny you should say that...There's a movie you would REALLY enjoy watching. Picture a movie about two retired boxing champs that have EACH won the championship from each other and now ONE of them wants to prove that HE is the better fighter, so he challenges the other to a THIRD fight...THAT is the premise to the movie "Grudge Match" starring Sylvester Stallone and Robert DeNiro. The really cool thing is that the film shows us the two boxers' careers in newsreels made up of used and unused footage from the "Rocky" and "Raging Bull" films.

[@Reani71]

Not only that the cast was great, I feel that it was also a conscient choice to have Stallone play this role as an actor whom critics seemed not to love after all those action movies in the 80s to put it carefully. And then he plays the disrespected sheriff between all those critically-acclaimed Hollywood legends who play these complacent cops who think that they are untouchable. Simply spoken he was the underdog actor playing the underdog role. That felt kind of meta to me and if that was on purpose then it was a stroke of genius.
