I would love to see how you guys react to hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. That is another scifi movie and man is it hilarious. So many good jokes. Plus its based on a novel too. So you know its gonna be better than some hollywood original flick. It has Martin Freeman(sherlock holmes, the lord of the rings/the hobbit, black panther movies, Captain America: civil war), Warwick Davis ( as in Willow, leprachaun movies, starwars), Alan Rickman ( in Harry Potter as Snape, Galaxy quest, Alice in Wonderland 2010) and Bill Nighy (pirates of the carribean, harry potter 7, rango, IFrankenstein, and the Underworld movie franchise) among many more great actors and actresses. While I may not be a member of the patreon I did subscribe a while ago and love watching you guys react. I try and hop into these videos on youtube when I can and give a like. So... if you like the movie suggestion great! If not oh well.... IS WHAT YOU THOUGHT ID SAY! IF YOU DONT YOUR MAKING ONE OF THE GUYS WHO ACTUALLY SUBSCRIBED DOWN!! DONT LET ME DOWN GUYS!!

The "alien inside the alien" was the actual alien inside a biomechanical exoskeleton -- a biologically based spacesuit/armored suit, in effect. The story is that the production designer gave the director two different designs for the aliens. The director liked both of them so much that he *used* both of them; one became the actual alien, and the other became the biomechanical armored exoskeleton suit.

[@myfatassdick]

I agree. When the situation called for it he stepped up and gave his life to save everyone.

One of the greatest summer blockbusters ever. Meant for a July 3rd release. But then it was pushed back to July 2nd for huge demand. A cast of this size well built for a film this size and the actors they casted were all enjoyable to watch. dir. Emmerich & writer. Devlin, who are producers under the imprint of CENTROPOLIS Entertainment had prior hits (Universal Soldier, Stargate) and this was their biggest one yet. The teaser trailer had everybody losing it. Especially with The White House getting torched. The speech by Bill Pullman as president Whitmore to the last line of defense is one of the great movie speeches ever. The merchandise was crazy. Toys, video games, prequel publications (one was a novel and the other was a comic from by Marvel), etc. The cropduster's character was actually abducted as presented in Independence Day #0 from Marvel Comics. No.1 film of 1996 and Academy Award winner for Best Visual Effects. As for the 2016 sequel aka Resurgence........ Well you'll have to see that for yourself.

Thanks for the video. Great reaction guys! As a Star Trek fan I was delighted to see Brent Spiner in here. A nice suprise back when I was seeing this movie in the cinema. All star-power aside, for me the star here clearly is Randy Quaid. Always remembered for being "Cousin Eddy". Too bad he got quite some issues the past few years and struggling with mental health. If you want to watch him in a little known small movie, where he is just brillant, then watch "Parents" from 1989. I personally love the movie. But it's not everybody's kind of humor.

I miss the '90-s scriptwritings. At the end when Russel has kamikazed himself into the alien spaceship, the president didn't give a grandiose speech, just simply gave a "good luck buddy" and that was perfect

One of The best 90's movies 😍🤩

Gotta say this film is the most Americanised American movie full of American American's doing American stuff! And I love it so much😂❤

Not having the presidents call sign be Air Force One is still one of the biggest missed opportunities in film history.

Octokrool is my favorite place to visit. The word scumbag is not used nearly enough in day-to-day life. I get my fix here 🥇

[@OptmiusPrime114]

Awesome flick! By the way, if you’re interested in another space-themed disaster flick, you should check out Armageddon, directed by Michael Bay!

[@user-blob]

Armageddon is good, very fun. I think the better film is Deep Impact though.

In the movie the doctor said the aliens wear bio-armor.

Remember Ian Malcolm saying the same line in Jurassic Park "Must go faster" the same way he said it in Independence Day.

Saw this movie at midnight of July 3rd/July 4th in a 1000 seat packed theater in Schaumburg, IL. It was the rowdiest crowd I ever seen. The most fun ever.

Man Curtis was out for blood today! LOL. I love that you guys are yourselves no matter what.
