THE NICE GUYS (2016) Movie Reaction w/ Coby FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@criminalcontent]

Let the good times roll ;)

[@Kevin.Costner.]

i’m here for the countdown premiere 😭🍿less goooo

[@jindas4217]

Lol, the "corpse" was Robert Downey Jr.

[@jsbrads1]

Funny detail, when they are in Burbank, they are in Burbank at the time of filming and they filmed during a real commercial jet taking off. The problem is the commercial jets back then sounded different and louder.

[@citpeks2000]

You're not wrong, the movie died at the box office. Too bad, because it's one of the tightest scripts I've ever seen and I think it would've been easy to bring these characters back for another one.

[@zimvader25]

@@StayFractalesquei mean it’s not “hollywood”s job to market movies, that’s up to the studios. The studio ruined this movie, not “hollywood”. Marketing sucked and release date was terrible. It’s not as bad as “last action hero” being released alongside jurassic park with no real marketing, but it was up there as far as marketing screw ups go.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Everyone involved with this movie has said they would be more than happy to make a sequel, but the film just didn't do well enough. Then again, not everything needs to be a trilogy.

[@TheGoIsWin21]

I remember being livid once I realized it was actually a real movie and not just some advertising stunt for the theater (they used clips from it as an "at the movies" bumper). What the advertisers did to this movie was criminal

[@haroldjoseph8296]

Russell crowe ruined this movie.

[@Whiskey0880]

What an awful take lol!

[@alexp601]

One of the biggest crimes in Hollywood is that this film did not do well. I'm glad people are still discovering it though!

[@johnnypaycheck7727]

Such a rewatchable film as well.

[@scott7082]

This movie and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang have the same buddy, quirky, funny energy for me and I can watch both over and over. In fact I am going to queue up a double feature right now.

[@mikek9297]

Love it... I regret not seeing it in theater. I discovered it through Netflix way too late. The promotion dropped the ball big time on this one..

[@neilmarshall2404]

A film bombing at the box office isn’t always an indication of its quality…. This is an absolute classic.

[@salvatoresultana4058]

That’s what happened to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang too

[@Woessner1101]

The ankle gun delayed pay-off joke absolutely killed me first time watching, and it never fails every other time I've seen this.

[@LordTywinLannistertheBased]

Im glad more people are watching and appreciating this movie, it definitely didn't get the chance it deserved when it released.

[@waterbeauty85]

16:05 Ryan Gosling's wheezing and stammering reaction to finding the corpse (Robert Downey Jr. in an uncredited cameo) is an homage to a bit Lou Costello, of the comedy team Abbott & Costello, used to do (most famously in "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" - a movie one of your troupe should watch for Halloween). Also, the punch combo Russell Crowe uses on Keith David is the same as the one he used on Joaquin Phoenix in "Gladiator." The who made "The Nice Guys" loved sneaking in movie references like that.

[@samuelrossiiii5187]

I was going to mention the Costello reference! I'm a huge fan of Abbott and Costello! And I loved this movie!

[@louremington6975]

I thought it was the Three Stooges but your right. Too funny.

[@David19749]

Shane Black is at his best when he he's making movies like this. The chemistry between the two leads is gold.

[@neabby]

"...don't say _"And stuff"_ " lol god I love this movie, it's so funny

[@christopherdale1745]

It's a shame this didn't do well at the box office. This is a fantastic film. It's a film noir buddy cop whodunnit comedy. So many genres seamlessly rolled into one. The script is amazing. I loved that he thought he couldn't die.

[@RobertMcCaig]

The chemistry between Russel Crowe, and Ryan Gosling is phenomenal. . And the actress who plays the daughter is amazing. Great reaction. And a great film

[@alevelazco10]

this is a hidden gem, amazing writing from start to finish.

[@dosnostalgic]

Angourie Rice, the actress playing Holly, is Australian as well.

[@waterbeauty85]

I think of this movie whenever people (including myself) say "and stuff" in real life.

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the funniest Buddy Cop Action Comedy movies ever made! There were talks of a Sequel, but it was cancelled due to the poor box office, $70 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget. There were talks of a TV series, but it's likely to have been shelved.

[@christeasdale1910]

Yeeeees. So pleased you’re reacting to this movie. It’s one of favourites in recent years. The chemistry between gosling and Crowe is great and angourie rice is a star. Amazing cast, direction and script.

[@bobcobb3654]

Further proof that theatrical success is not indicative of a movie’s quality. Plenty of really stupid movies make a billion dollars.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

@@pistonburner6448And the Transformer films😞

[@jamesodonnell3636]

Drive, La La Land, The Big Short... Gosling is versatile, but his comedy chops are phenomenal! I love his brief homage in this film to horror/comedy-vintage Lou Costello (when March discovers the corpse of Sid "Hatrack" and begins sputtering, wheezing, etc.). It's brilliantly modulated -- very funny without being "zany."

[@JasonAkersMusic]

This is one of my favorite films in the last 10 years. It’s clever and Ryan and Russell together is perfect. That little girl is killer. She was in the newer Spider-Man films a bit, but the last big roll she had was the New Mean Girls film. I think she played the Lohan roll. The saddest thing about this is that the sequel they clearly wanted and should’ve been will never happen. I could watch a dozen films with these guys.

[@jeffgray7922]

It's criminal that this movie didn't do better at the box office. Shane Black had expressed a great interest in making a sequel, and then some.

[@criminalcontent]

so good

[@decidueye2963]

Cuz there's Russell Crowe, who been box office poison

[@felix-the-mongoose]

at around 4:00 min I can tell you that the machine he is using is made to be used on the way. instead of cutting the hairs outside it has a metal plate with holes to only cut what goes though. it keeps most of the hairs insid, if not all of them.

[@simianinc]

Shayne Black also wrote Lethal Weapon. He deserves may wore movies

[@alexp601]

The Long Kiss Goodnight is also an underrated classic of his!

[@zmani4379]

Nice reaction - I think there has been recent talk about a possible Nice Guys 2, which may do better now that more ppl know about the 1st film, plus the success of Barbie and the demand for Gosling in comedic roles - other unexpectedly fantastic crime thrillers that flew under the radar include Deep Cover, Manhunter, The Yards, The Funeral, Blow Out, Long Goodbye, Inherent Vice, One False Move, The Grifters, In a Lonely Place, In the Cut

[@brendaoldenkamp9735]

My son actually dated Murielle Telio who played Misty Mountains. I can definitely tell you that she is a talented and dedicated actress. Who has the ambition to become a huge name in both acting and directing.

[@zeigbert1743]

Underrated flick. I think it flew under a lot of people's radar. I hope they make a sequel too.

[@criminalcontent]

Agreed !

[@tonyadler1319]

The full song title was Escape (The Pina Colada Song).

[@vanjr1111]

Such a Great Film, Ryan and Russell are Classic, you said it best, Let the good times roll! Thank You and Coby for the nice Saturday Night Treat......May the Force be with You....Always.

[@criminalcontent]

May the 4th be with you, always

[@nicholasstehl6375]

This is one of my favorite comedy movies and definitely one of my favorite movies overall. It needs a sequel badly. Highly under appreciated

[@criminalcontent]

100%

[@louremington6975]

At the bottom of the hill, Ryan Gosling, was doing an impression of an, Abbott and Costello, movie. Props for them. Specifically, Bud Abbott's reaction to anything weird. Loved it

[@nickrizzi4927]

Sorry I am late to this. Never saw this movie, but will look for on cable now having seen your awesome reaction. Cobi is beyond dear and The Best movie reactions!! So dear in reactions, laughs, facial expressions and remarks!! Thanks for the quality and Happy Mothers Day to good Mums on this Nice Gal's Criminal channel!!

[@MadcapMatt]

Ryan Gosling comedies are so good. It's a shame he's not looking to do roles like this anymore. He's so good at dark comedy but he doesn't like where it takes him emotionally.

[@Keithjmcc]

Yes, the song is called escape, and it’s about a husband and wife trying to cheat on each other however, the attempt to do so leads them back to each other.

[@nocalsteve]

The song was originally called Escape, but a record executive said if they released it as Escape (The Pina Colada Song) it would make more money, which is now its official title because he was undoubtedly correct.

[@midknightgeek6629]

Absolutely brilliant film! Glad you checked it out! We really need a sequel! 😎👍

[@criminalcontent]

Agreed!!

[@tim1843]

One of the best comedies in a long time. Real shame there hasn't been another made.

[@PorterJustPorter]

This fast became one of my comfort movies.

[@dimitriosgliarmis7622]

Glad to see someone appreciate this movie like it should be. Also, shoutout to you name dropping Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Also, so good!!

[@dalefraser9771]

It is criminal that this movie didn't do well and result in a few equally great sequels.

[@jamesw5353]

You're right, this and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are both fantastic!

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

2016 just wasn't the year for a buddy cop comedy. The personal stories were more popular at the time, meaning films like Mad Max Fury Road (2015), Spectre (2015), and Deadpool (2016). Had The Nice Guys come out in 2019, next to films like 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and Knives Out, it would have done a lot better. The 70s isn't that popular a period either. The film 'Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game' from last year is also a very underrated 70s film. So is Licorice Pizza (2022) written by Paul Thomas Anderson.

[@stevepool8034]

Love the two actors, Coby, from Blade Runner 2049 & Thor Love & Thunder. What a crazy funny crime drama! A bumbling PI and his enforcer. Twists and turns always kept me guessing. Bang, bang, bang. Who dies next? Lol

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

It came out the same weekend as "Angry Birds" and they say that may be why it didn't do as well as expected. "To the Bird", Gosling and Crowe, birds. The interviews with these 2 are really funny. I saw a new interview with Crowe about his new movie and he said again that Gosling ruined his history of "never breaking character". He says Gosling can make him laugh in a heartbeat. Here is an interview at the time and their promotional couples therapy sessions were funny. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5mUZKiCo8h1bac

[@hartspot009]

You would absolutely love the 70s buddy film FREEBIE AND THE BEAN...James Caan and Alan Arkin. One of the first comedy cop buddy films.

[@cambodianz]

Fun fact: Chet (the projectionalist) is played by Val Kilmer's son Jack.

[@louremington6975]

What! did not know that. Thanks for the info!!

[@Filboid2000]

There are TONS of movies out there that get overlooked (no pun intended) because they are either old or overshadowed by more popular (but not necessarily better) movies.

[@xtop23]

That movie is a gem. Loved it.

[@thomasmilazzo6273]

[@CarolinaCharles777]

I wonder if the joke about Amelia's mom "with Jack the Ripper" was a reference to Mary Steenburgen in TIME AFTER TIME?

[@graciefolden2359]

❤❤❤ YES!!💯Coby! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a Masterpiece & one of my favorites of all time also.

[@VolkswagenNut1969]

I’m so glad you did this one. It wasn’t well promoted, and did poorly so I ignored it. But I watched it on DVD a year later and it immediately became one of my all time favorite comedies. I couldn’t believe how good it was to have died so badly in theaters. I grew up in the 70s so the nostalgia factor was high with this one too. PS: the yellow pages ad at the end was a nod to The Rockford Files. 😉

[@Joshthom321]

The movie got high marks from critics and audiences, not sure why it didn’t do well at the box office. Glad to see this movie getting the love it deserves.

[@jchusky77]

If you love the 70's, I think you'd love Dazed and Confused and recognizing all the stars from that movie!

[@MrMojoRisin13]

Their chemistry is fantastic. If the actual story had been stronger this would have been a classic. A sequel would have been great, though, if only to see these two work together again.

[@cheetos1231000]

one of my favorite movies!

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

Australian accent? Angourie Rice (Ryan Gosling's daughter) is an Australian

[@frankrodriguez2999]

Have you seen L.A. Confidential(1997) yet with Russel crowe and Kim basinger its a cool cop movie set in the 1950's.

[@tonysoto8949]

I went to watch this movie when it first came out and I was cracking up and the other people looked at me Mike I was crazy. I don’t think they understood the comedy in this movie which was genius. The acting was top tier and the little girl was absolutely amazing. Sad that the general public djdnt go to theaters to watch this severely underrated movie. Wish they had made a sequel because Crowe, Ryan, and the little girl were magical on screen. Great movie and review/reaction 👍

[@rockerctereo2851]

So so good watching this again. Thanks Coby ❤

[@yakamen]

This movie fucking rules. I saw it in theaters on a whim. It hooks you in the first 2 minutes and doesn't let up. Shane Black also wrote Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which is another classic of similar vibes. Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. Both fantastic movies.

[@MikeB12800]

I think JohnBoy is more known for the TV series of IT more than the Waltons nowadays.

[@mikem1457]

I watched this movie ona free stream site after out of theaters. HIGH AF! For the first time in forever... when the car crashed thru the house in the beginning , i had to take a 20 minute break😂 one of the best experiences of my life watching this blazed. I laughed so hard, and all the impossible situations just rolled me.

[@edwinpayne2231]

How on Earth can you keep from spitting out your drink during some of the these hilarious moments is beyond me. I nearly spit out my drink at least 6 times while I watched this film in the theater! Your reactions are so real and priceless! If you want to watch the funniest Sylvester Stallone movie is "Oscar." PS: If you do keep track of the black bags. 😉

[@MarkHWillson]

Knew you'd love this one. :) I can say at least for me, looking back at what was going on at the time, I missed this because it was sandwiched right between Captain America Civil War and X-Men Apocalypse, two films that completely took my cinema attention that month. I really think it was just unfortunate release timing, can't imagine I was the only one in that situation.

Yeah, it was unfortunate timing for the release. Angry Birds and Neighbors 2 came out the same weekend, and Captain America: Civil War was still in theaters. Plus it was playing in less theaters than those other films. WB should have pushed it more.

[@danthony47]

This film is essentially the spiritual successor to The Last Boy Scout (1991) which is also written by Shane Black. I think you’d enjoy that one as well.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

It's much better than TLB, though. TLB is an entertaining buddy movie directed by Tony Scott at the top of his game, but it's nowhere near as memorable as TNG. I never felt the need for a sequel to that movie, unlike TNG.

The 70s was the absolute evolution of the 50s but with too much drugs and wars. By the way, Angourie Rice was awesome in "These Final Hours". Such an underrated gem of a movie. You should watch it.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Im convinced Ryan Gosling's character in this movie becomes Val Kilmer's character in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. (Actually, that they ARE the same character.) So, that is a technical sequel.

[@jntdhome]

This fast became one of my favorite comedies ever. Fun fact: Robert Downey Jr. is the Sid Shaddock corpse.

[@waterbeauty85]

It's too small and obscure for a reaction video, but you should check out Australian actress Angourie Rice's (she played Ryan Gosling's daughter Holly) feature film debut in the indie "end of the world" drama "These final Hours" (2013). Some reviews criticized the film's obvious low budget, but they all praised Angourie Rice's performance.

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

That's Robert Downey Jr. as the corpse of Sid Shattack! For an even better version of The Nice Guys read his 2003 draft of the script. Different mystery, more great dialogue. It's one of the best screenplays I ever read.
