Everything Wrong With True Lies in 17 Minutes or Less

True Lies is a big action adventure from the '90s that has dancing, harrier jets, fake art, and some marital issues. Oh, and sins. Lots and lots of sins.

The low battery scene was one of the funniest bits in Hollywood history, dude. Shame on you for sinning it.

[@hannahbanana7723]

Amazingly original bit. Been watching this since I was 12 and I never known it was a Cameron film and now it makes SO much sense.

They did miss friend leaving the door wide open and never shutting it at beginning though, so maybe it evens out?

Yeah, that made me laugh too. I don't always agree with what Jeremy says. Also, at 2:43 - 2:47, that comment makes no sense. He's saying something about Music Man references but I cannot understand the rest of that comment. Can you?

"What kind of a sick b*tch takes the ice cube trays?" I'm so glad this line made the video. My all time favorite movie line. It's just so damn funny.

[@civil_villain]

The part where Tom Arnold is protected by the lamp post is hilarious if you acknowledge the following scene where he pats his whole body down and then kisses the pole.

[@nthgth]

Yeah that's pretty much a lampshade hanging. That kinda thing doesn't usually excuse the Sin though.

[@TeleriumD12]

My friend and I to this day call it pulling a Tom Arnold in games when cover protects us when it shouldn't because it's obviously too small. Or if we're trying to shoot someone running through pillars and they catch every shot or something.

@@nthgth It wasn't really a lampshade. They'd have have him take cover behind something bigger. It was clearly intended to be humorous.

Fun fact: Tom Arnold said later that he had vented to James Cameron that Roseanne stole the ice cube trays, and Cameron put it in the movie.

[@parklloyd6690]

I always kind of figured that he really meant that part and wasn’t just reciting a line from the script. That and the one about not being able to shoot women. Cheers

The Harrier rising up slowly in front of the guy with the binoculars made me laugh so hard as a child and not a bit less as an adult. One of the best low key funny action movies ever.

I actually didn't expect so many people to be fans of this movie. I'm glad because I think it's a classic too.

[@danielhess1082]

I also laugh hard at the scene where the house keeping guy is dancing in the room to salsa(?)while the Harrier is rotating just outside the window and he's totally oblivious, then the songs ending and he's walking out and BAM! Just misses the tail of the harrier come crashing through the window

[@rwandaforever6744]

There is nothing in this movie to sin that was not meant to be bad^^ Just do not expect a hard action Arnold flick. Let the fun seep in. And BTW the side quest with Bill Paxton and they taking it up in the end is ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY!! The subverted expectation when he kills him...but it was just his first impulse he was able to suppress. Just epic. Him getting out of the wet suit with a tuxedo beneath it.... the subtitle telling us he is speaking perfect Arabic even if we can hear he is not... And let's not forget this is one of Eliza Dushkus (playing the daughter) first roles and she will kill it later in Buffy and Dollhouse etc. No, I agree often, but this time I can't. This movie is great and nothing can change that.

[@Gutol]

12 year old me thought this was the coolest movie ever made. 40 year old me is inclined to agree

[@chiapets2594]

Sucked

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Jamie Lee Curtis in that hotel room scene 👊 In all seriousness though, this movie was like an 80's action movie with great production, funny, serious, great cinematography, better than most crap put out these days.

[@alvexok5523]

I agree. There are alot of good things about this movie. One is Bill Paxton as car salesman/sleazy fake spy, trying to get some from Arnie's wife Jamie Lee Curtis. While test driving a car, Bill's telling Arnie he's a major babe magnet and telling Jamie he's got alot in common with James Bond (he boasts about his supposed penthouse in NY while actually living in a trailer). 6:04 - 6:16 - I can't believe that this is that same guy who played douchbag bully Chet less than 10 years earlier. Bill Paxton is one talented actor to be able to play 2 characters so different from each other that you'd really believe they are 2 different people if you didn't know from the credits that it's Bill Paxton and hadn't seen any other movies with him in them

[@nancyfazenbaker3567]

10 year old me had the hots for Jamie Lee Curtis. 35 year old me agrees with 10 year old me. Damn she is a smoke show in this movie!

[@justindriscoll1844]

@Gutol I agree with both of you

[@Lawrence330]

The salesman driving the Corvette is probably the *most* realistic part of this movie. My dad has been selling used cars forever and he's always driving them home instead of his own cars. Usually it's whatever is old and needs to be moved, or something that has an issue and needs a code set or just got back from the mechanic and needs a few miles on it to make sure they got it fixed. But yeah, he's taken home Jags, Corvettes, a Hummer and a Landrover, a whole slew of nice pickups, a few BMWs, and a Cadillac every so often.

[@Doublebicepers]

I love this movie so much, Arnold's bathroom and rooftop was such a badass moment for me. The Harrier jet, the whole filming of this movie was so awesome! I don't think a movie will me made like this again. One of a kind!

[@shishsjxnsnzns]

There is a remake in production. They haven't announced it yet, but I was in the test screening, and it was amazing lol

[@COEYRN]

@@shishsjxnsnzns whoa how do you get that job sign me up.

[@COEYRN]

I remember when I was in the theater, and I was like OK it's a bit far fetched. Then you start to slowly realize that it's more of a comedy, and I was like oh my God this is hilarious. I must have watched this movie 15 -20 times at least. Do you remember Jamie Lee Curtis did the hanging from a helicopter scene at the oscars that year.

[@jab2505]

Gil mentions constantly how this is illegal and off the rails. This film is classic.

[@danielhess1082]

@@shishsjxnsnzns there was supposed to be a sequel, but then 9/11 happened and the plans were scrapped because it was felt that treating the threat of terrorism in the way it is was in bad taste.....course I also remember that after 9/11 one of the first things I did was watch True Lies to raise my spirits.....kind of like the Team America song but in a more serious tone lol

[@MichaelScheele]

True Lies managed to parody action movie tropes while still being a good action movie. James Cameron should be praised for this accomplishment. Action movie fans still love this movie. I know I do.

[@thegingergyrl455]

I love this movie. I stayed in the hotel in LA where they did the horse stunt, Westin Bonaventure. You can also see some of the long shots they used in exteriors for Blade Runner there. But the True Lies info was part of the welcome packet. Definitely miss Bill Paxton.

Tia Carrere, who plays Juno was an absolute goddess in the 1990's. I fell in love with her in Wayne's World and was happy to see her in True Lies. She's still pretty, but in her prime she was top 10 in the world.

[@crashburn3292]

CinemaSins points out how Harry and Albert wouldn't be able to talk/hear while flying in an "opening air helicopter" but says nothing about Harry and Dana yelling to each other while in and on a hovering Harrier Jump Jet. Not only would they not hear each other, they would both be in a lot of pain having just blown out their ear drums due to being feet away from 2 Rolls Royce engines blowing air at about 150 decibels.

[@MrMJmusicLover]

And Dana which is my name also would have fallen off the nose of the Harrier the moment she landed on it.

I've always loved Tom Arnold in this movie. It was so unlike the comedy parts he usually played around this time. And he brought his comedy talent into this role and made a fun character to play against Harry.

[@COEYRN]

That's exactly what I thought too. He was playing a way funnier Character then any other time i had seen him. I think, because He didn't have to deal with Rosanne Barr. That's just my theory.

@@danielseelye6005 yes I agree. I don't feel like doing the math right now but I just remember the whole Rosen Barr and Tom thing Was a big topic of discussion at the time. This pair was always always on the covers of magazines. It was on the news, The radio. Like Angelina and Brad Pitt it was kind of like the 1st time in my life where a Hollywood couple was constantly being Scrutinized. is movie people realized howit's made everybody not like him but then you see him in a movie like this where he just shines and it's just awesome but it also makes you realize shit he doesn't she's too much of a power person. Now if I remember correctly sympathy started to turn towards Tom. If I'm wrong let me know I just remember something you know I was younger I can't remember everything.

[@paulharper4196]

I'm pretty sure his anecdote to Arnie in the movie about "what kind of sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the fridge?" was actually tom relaying a real life experience.

The “makes you want to stand up for buttermilk” isn’t even Paxton’s worst line in that scene. His description of her butt should’ve warranted about 1 million sins, but his character alone and how well Paxton played sleazy used car salesman trying to seduce MILFs(before that was a popular term) should’ve taken off a few sins 😜. And RIP Bill Paxton. Also have to nitpick that the sin of Tia Carrere’s trigger discipline in the limo totally warranted a Pulp Fiction Vincent and Jules driving Marvin supercut scene in the outtakes 😉

4:28 Are you kidding? Bill Paxton was fantastic!

[@ryanl.2919]

2nd best Arnold movie for me after Terminator 2 - I love him when he mixes comedy with his action. FYI, Predator rounds out the top 3...

[@jimb.7523]

*Biggest sin is the fact that this movie was never released on Blu-Ray and isn't available to stream in the US. One of my favorite Cameron movies!*

[@nthgth]

So that's why my Blu-Ray of it is in a black case with a label that looks like it came from an inkjet printer

[@tedlogan521]

How did “you’re fired” get a sin? As a child that was one of my favorite one liners before a kill

[@funkyromero]

True Lies is one of the best arnold movies of all time. Legendary action comedy. A classic.

[@rexlumontad5644]

1:09 Shame that Stormtroopers will forever be remembered for not aiming their shots well at the enemy despite it was revealed that Tarkin specifically ordered them not to kill Luke and his friends so that they escape and lead Death Star to the Rebel base at the moon of Yavin.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Yeah that really pisses me off. Especially after the Stormtroopers on Scarif wiped the floor with rebel commandos!

[@hawk66100]

Stormtroopers have shitty aim in all the Star Wars films not just A New Hope.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

@@hawk66100 What about how quickly they took out Echo Base on Hoth?

[@Lans32485]

To be fair it's probably really hard to hit anything with even burst fire while skiing.

[@stevenscott2136]

It's not their fault -- they can't see out of those terrible helmets.

[@gaelc13]

The original french movie ("La totale!") is clearly a comedy. As usual, the Hollywood adaptation had to stuff in a lot of SFX, which creates this impression of a "subplot" where in reality this is the core of the story.

[@Lans32485]

Well I see one for Birdman already. The long minimalist hallway...was actually an xray/weapons scanner, as shown in the clip you skipped.

[@Sercumference]

This is actually one of my mom's favorite movies we're gonna watch this when she's back in town

[@Teebeebeebee]

I’m actually surprised this movie hasn’t been sinned yet they’ve done every other Arnold movie

[@hannahbanana7723]

Has he done Kindergarten Cop? That'd be an amazing one to add.

[@Agent1W]

Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tom Arnold?

[@IWFDI]

Tapping the phone reminds me of the opening of the first episode of Fraiser! 'You follow her to work, you eavesdrops on her calls, you open her mail... The minute you started those things, the relationship was over! Thank you for your call!'

[@sinclairj7492]

Let’s be honest, this movie was freakin dope when it came out

[@Deanmiller-t4h]

Still is....

[@nickllama5296]

How DARE YOU sin "Battery, Aziz!" That's one of the most quotable lines from the 90s!

[@hhluvzmagik]

Can we all take a moment to recognize just how funny and pathetic the late, great Bill Paxton's character was in this movie? Bill, this is my forever favorite movie part you played. Rest in Peace Mr. Paxton. You are so missed.

[@kleetus92]

You really knocked the "sentence" out of the park on this one!!! I'm in tears over this!

[@SuperStarWarsFan1138]

The scene where Arnie rides through the building on a horse past the band was my favorite part. The noise the trumpet(?) made as the horce raced past had me laughing so hard I needed to use my asthma inhaler. I wish more movies induced thay kond of laighter.

[@fireflee111]

"There is no Dana, only Zuul". End sequence dubbing is one of your best ever!

[@penzlic]

There is nothing wrong with True Lies. This is a sin on you, CinemaSins.

[@KalleKilponen]

Absolutely. I was expecting this video to be just the word "nothing".

[@markelijio6012]

That's exactly what I'm saying about the success of "True Lies." There's nothing wrong with that, ever.

[@andrewjohnson6716]

The editing the True Lies and Mission Impossible bathroom fight scenes together was a masterstroke!

[@lordkameguru7851]

Honestly terrified teenager willing to spite someone in the face of certain death regardless if they give them what they want or not is pretty damn realistic to me. Not everyone is a spineless coward, some people can see forward enough to know they're likely dead regardless and hold out for hope of rescue or again, at the very least, spite. I don't think that was an unreasonable scene at all. It's a commonly uncommon trait to have some cohones.

[@montserratresurrection5470]

SWIMMING UNDER FIRE!!!!!! YOU SAID NOTHHHIIINGGGG!!! THE MOST ICONIC MOST DUPLICATED SHOT IN LIKE.......6 other movies?? No but for real ... that shot really deserved at least -30 points!!!

[@sdfkjgh]

I've been waiting and hoping they'd sin this. It just seems like the perfect movie to sin: obviously ludicrous, but still a much-beloved classic.

[@grieverleonhart2630]

“GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!” In the outtakes had me rollin 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@genekinney9938]

This movie is incredible, Jeremy. How DARE you!.... .... I mean, he makes some good points but still...

[@Brian-cr6rb]

Come on man, something I caught when I was 12 years old was the two different GMC Jimmy's. One has the SLT low profile mirrors, and the other has the older base large chrome side mirrors. This is still one of my all time favorite films! It never gets old!

[@danandtab7463]

a lot of the nitpicks on this video could be summed up as "this character is not being a good person", which is an odd direction to go with comedy movies, where characters are rarely good people who do the right thing at all times. Yeah normally it's bad for Harry to do all those things, but it's freakin hilarious to put in a movie,.

[@Romans8-9]

And Harry at least had good reasoning for doing so. He wanted to see if his wife still loved him but no he's the misogynist despite his wife being the one who wanted to cheat on him!!!

[@svenfilms7037]

@15:10 Quentin Tarantino shot this scene LOL 🤣 Gold.

[@gab.lab.martins]

Commenting before watching: this film is SO DUMB, but that's exactly why it's SO GOOD. The machine gun scene is one of the stupidest, most fun scenes ever put to film. Arnie's action comedies are absolute fucking gold.

[@danh9790]

The “Gordon Street” bit at the end is priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Props for the Wayne’s World Reference)

[@reikun86]

I always cracked up in the scene when the leader of the terrorist group was making a big speech, but the battery ran out on their camera. His lackey was too scared to bring it up, so he pretended to record until the leader was done.

[@ShawnsterVideos]

4:02 - 16 sins for the mylar helium balloons (+ seeing the camera reflect in the square balloon) those are straight up ocean bound pollution. DING.

[@priscillajimenez27]

Maybe the CIA makes sure stuff doesn't hit the news. Also this was a time when people didn't have cell phone cameras to post on the internet.

[@bg7893]

I imagine a ritzy DC hotel would have security cameras, but they could be gotten to by the agency.

[@jenx5870]

It did make the news. Harry's wife was reading about it in the paper at the cafe.The car salesman took credit for it. Like you said, in the 90s, there were no cell phones, and security tapes wouldn't be released to the public, except to identify a suspect. In real life, the CIA operates outside of the US jurisdiction, not within the US. The case would have been a Federal investigation, alongside ATF, once the scale was discovered. Until then, it would have been investigated by the local precinct. Movie has to movie, though. I still enjoy the hell out of this movie after all these years.

[@SiriusMined]

I think the subplot is really cool

[@markelijio6012]

There's nothing wrong with "True Lies." Nothing. Everything in this film that has the right mix of action and comedy. It's pretty cool for everyone to see.

[@ChristophBrinkmann]

No movie is without sin.

[@markelijio6012]

@@ChristophBrinkmann I'll take your word for it.

[@survivalextraordinaire3572]

gotta say im liking the new cinema sins intro sequence. its got the flavor of the previous sequence, but the simple layout of the older ones.

[@pianotm]

"Bad guy fires at the pole but does not hit Tom Arnold! That's five sins easy!" No, that should be a sin off! You really should look this stuff up, if for no other reason than it's actually really interesting. Not only is it not surprising that he didn't hit Tom Arnold, the odds of him hitting Tom Arnold in this scenario is actually really low. It's one of the rare things about gun fighting that they actually got DEAD ACCURATE! YES! He hits the pole because he's actually a good shot and simply reacted instead of aiming carefully! This is real! This is common! It's insane! It's thoroughly documented! It's nuts, but it's absolutely true!!! Fun fact: When Jamie Lee Curtis falls during the strip tease, that's a blooper. She doesn't break character and comes right back up, and Cameron loved it so much he kept it in the movie.

[@stevenscott2136]

It's an intentional joke -- Tom checks himself for holes and then kisses the pole. It's SUPPOSED to seem unlikely, because even the character recognizes it.

[@jeffhoward1222]

Fun Fact: The Vette that get's em wet was restored in Tulsa, OK, in the early 70s, by our neighbor Bill (A pilot for Williams Companies) and my dad. They had restored a 67 Porsche (my dad's) and a 55 Vette. My dad sold his Porsche shortly after they restored it, but Bill our neighbor kept his Vette until the mid 80s. Spent many a Saturday riding in that passengers seat. They would drive us neighbor kids down to the pits at the Tulsa Speedway back in the day, to turn a wrench, drink a beer and tell a lie. Good times. Miss those ole goats.

[@SullyStreams]

They need to do a 4K release of this movie already, it’s been too long!

[@nthgth]

I came across a Blu-Ray of it, and I highly suspect it's a bootleg. Apparently they've been really lacking in the modern releases of this awesome movie

[@SullyStreams]

@@nthgth still no 4K release planned for some reason, it’s crazy!

[@AndrewMiesem]

I don't know if this is ever the intent of these videos, but I now HAVE to watch this movie again.

[@paulylewis8512]

Wow, love this goofy film, so happy it's getting sinned

[@brandonprater4613]

*Arnold:* You're fired. *Me:* How did the missle maintain it's flight pattern despite a full-grown adult hanging from it?

[@ericdonalddee]

5:30 I believe the “she’s got an ass like a ten year old boy” is the worst part of that scene, not the age it would take the woman being to secrete buttermilk

[@nthgth]

You lost me with that second part

[@creamcitysista1970]

Jaime Lee ACTUALLY performed that stunt from the limo!
