and Captain Professor Xavier Picard is also in it as well.

[@emwa3600]

There are two versions of Mel's PAYBACK, and both are worth watching. The orig Theatrical Release is "Mel's" while the Director's Cut is NOT - it was the original version and Mel objected to that version, so he had it re-written, re-film and released as The Theatrical version. But the differences are interesting and ;both are action'ers about criminals doing each other dirty.

[@paulmryglod4802]

Is that the one where he has a bunch of crazy ideas but one of them is actually true? And he kinda stalks her a bit?

Conspiracy Theory is one of those movies that holds a sentimental and nostalgic place for me. I worked at the movie theater when it was still in theaters, so I saw it probably 75 times, along with Face/Off, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Con Air... One of the funnest periods of my life.

THE underrated romantic comedy gem of the 90s.

[@ladysky2883]

Totally agree. A light-hearted, breezy, comedy. I just never warmed up to Marisa Tomei's hairstyle in that movie tho. Loved everyone else and RDJ almost outclassed everyone in that movie. Dang he is talented. He was robbed for not getting the Oscar for Chaplin. Both he and Mel have had hard, challenging times. Mel Gibson cast RDJ in movies when he couldn't buy a part.

The Road Warrior was the second in the series and was only called that in the US. The rest of the world knows it as Mad Max 2. But best to start with Mad Max as it sets the scene with society on the edge of collapse. It would be a good one to do a reaction to.

The first time I saw Elijah Wood in a movie was as a child actor opposite Macaulay Culkin in a movie entitled “The Good Son” (1993). Elijah Wood once again plays a sweet boy while Macaulay Culkin plays an evil child that’s the polar opposite of Kevin McCallister, his character in the “Home Alone” movies.

And hey, I was in my 20s in then, living the life, but the 90s was the head-up-the-butt decade and the 80s was the conscious decision to insert it up there.

Mel Gibson is American, originally from New York. When he was 12, his father moved the family to Australia so that his older brothers would not get drafted into the Vietnam War.

Mel Gibson isn't a name often heard for top-notch acting. To see him truly act, check out the little known movie "Hamlet" from about 1990. In this movie version of the play by Shakespeare, he portrays Hamlet. The film is very good and far more realistic in the time period than other movie versions. It also has a great cast in Glenn Close, Ian Holm, Helena Bonham Carter, all of whom rise to the levels needed for Shakespeare. And TBH, Carter steals every scene she's in

[@hanziggy6862]

If I am thinking of the same song Cassie was thinking of, that song, "Who wants to live forever", is by Queen and was also featured in 1 of my all-time favorite movies, Highlander. Whenever I hear the words, "Forever Young", I always think of Rod Stewart's song of the same name, which I honestly never knew until just a few years back was actually a remake of an older song. I still remember when I saw this movie back many years ago on VHS about the same time I also saw The Man Without a Face, another movie I think you would both love, but in a different way. I remember both movies made me cry. I forget the reason why, but I never got to see either those movies in theaters when they came out. One thing I appreciated about this movie is how when Gibson's character first woke up, he's freezing and can barely get the words out in his phone call, as opposed to many other sci-fi movies & tv shows where the main lead is thawed out years later, they seem to immediately wake up & adjust quickly to the temperature.

I remember seeing this and I'd conpetley forget Jamie Lee Curtis was in this, great reaction from you two.

[@shuboy05]

This movie was written by someone named J. J. Abrams. You might have heard of him.

[@michaelanderson1476]

Hi I couldn't but notice the Star trek number plate behind the both of you....fascinating 🖖👏🙌🙏👍🎉 also lovely and beautiful film forever young!!!!❤

[@andreraymond6860]

Mel Gibson in Galipoli if youwant a great vintage Australian performance.

[@BouillaBased]

That “Forever Young” song is also in Napoleon Dynamite. Probably the movie they’re trying to think of.

[@TravMaxAdventures]

Another great young Elijah Wood movie is “Radio Flyer”. Definitely up y’all’s alley.

[@reesebn38]

You two have watched every Mel Gibson war movie except one "Gallipoli"(1981). Based on the worst Australian battle of all time. You want to hear his Aussie accent it'a as thick as can be in Gallipoli.

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

I have a story from my first job today that ties directly into your last reaction video. I'm assuming you'll do episodes 3 & 4 fairly soon. The world is a unique place and the timing was pretty amazing since you just posted that vid a day or two ago. I had a customer today that was one of the last 4 remaining guys from the 100th Bomber Squadron. I'll post the full story from this morning when you do your next episode on Masters Of The Air.

[@blindsurvival8570]

Oh, and I think you'd like Big Trouble In Little China with Kurt Russell & Kim Cattrall. It has all the action, mystery, & love drama you need.

[@kristitimbrel189]

As a little kid, Elijah Wood was everywhere! He was a beautiful little boy!! You guys definitely need to look into his movies that he stared in.

[@cliffthedroid1663]

This is the best movie and a great score by Jerry Goldsmith.

[@doogboh]

Goldsmith . . . The Master

[@TTM9691]

He's the best, totally underrated. I'll take him ANY DAY over John Williams.

[@doogboh]

@tictocmelody9190 : More versatile, creative, and prolific -- and at least every bit as compositionally gifted. Plus -- and most important -- a much smarter and more thoughtful *dramatist*, whose scores contained a thematic synergy that Williams scores rarely do. Everything is related, integrated. Not some patchwork quilt of different, sophomoric "cat calls" reinforcing what's already obvious. ("Hey, it's Princess Leia -- play Princess Leia music!") Jerry was the consummate musical storyteller; as FOREVER YOUNG illustrates, a Jerry Goldsmith score would, in Director Steve Miner's words, " take you on a journey." Indeed -- and a richly rewarding one at that.

[@TTM9691]

@@doogboh Wow, brilliantly encapsulated, bro. "More versatile" is how you started it and you can say that again. And hey, I love the Close Encounters score, I can't take that away from ole Johnny, brilliant, beautiful work......and Jaws before it, couldn't imagine a better score......but other than that, he's imitation Mahler. I totally agree about "cue the theme music"! Goldsmith is totally in my shortlist of greatest film composers. I love Herrmann, I love Nino Rota, especially his Fellini scores, and Goldsmith is the next name I always cite.

[@doogboh]

@tictocmelody9190 : You mentioned Herrmann -- he's just about the only scorer, at least historically, who I think was even in Jerry's league. I too love the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS score. Very Goldsmithian/Herrmannesque in a number of ways (e.g., thematically focused). STAR WARS was the beginning of the end for Williams. As a one-off it made for an amusing Golden Age homage -- but then JW basically decided to make a career out of regressive scoring, disregarding the sensible advancements that a Herrmann and a Goldsmith produced.

[@cantstandnomore]

Norm!

[@Faye_L]

This movie came out when I was a kid, and my mom and I watched it so many times, lol. I was all "Elijah Wood 😍" and she was all "Mel Gibson 😍" It's pretty much the perfect movie. 🥰

[@ct6852]

Ever seen The Good Son? Kind of a hard watch but interesting movie.

[@Faye_L]

@@ct6852 Yes! Freaked me out as a kid. I really need to revisit it as an adult.

[@ct6852]

@@Faye_L Yeah McCaulay was weirdly believable in that role.

[@lylobean]

Re watching these older films highlights the the difference between them and new films. Story first, actors who act, no painting by numbers to hit quota or agendas.

[@pmarcus0007]

You need to watch Phenomenon with John Travolta, Forrest Whitaker, and Kyra Sedgwick. You will thank me afterwards!

[@marezesim8119]

another great film no one else ever suggests along with Michael

[@ThunderPants13]

I didn't know Norm Peterson was in this..........NOOOOOOORRRRRMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

[@johnmaynardable]

FYI: There was a song called Forever Young by Bob Dylan that came out in the 60's well before the song you are referring to. Speaking of songs: You Are My Sunshine that Elijah sings to his girlfriend is the same song I sang to my mother whenever I visited her in the last month of her life. She always squeezed my hand when I sang it.

[@Mcvthree3]

Mel was actually born in the US but grew up in Australia. His accent was so strong in the 70s that they dubbed his voice in Mad Max for US audiences.

[@karenlackner192]

Watch Mad Max. You’ll hear his accent.

[@jeri3808]

Ladies, Mel was born American but grew up in Australia.

[@cryhavoc38]

ok huge props for knowing the Alphaville song "Forever Young"

[@Airwolf515]

Cassie, in case you didn't recognize the black cryogenic doctor in the movie, that was actor Joe Morton, who played Miles Dyson from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". Dyson was the engineer who created the microchip that acted like the brain function of the Terminator machine. He was the only casualty of the four (T-800, Sarah Connor, & John Connor) that went to Cyberdyne office in the middle of the night.

[@jeffreyson1]

Hello Ladies, Thank You for doing this reaction. Also would like to recommend Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory" it has a lot of action and good cast...Not sure if you have seen it?🧐

[@RealTechZen]

YES!❤ Best ending ever.

[@benbrad0433]

Please react to a movie called Green Street. Starring Elijah Wood & Charlie Hunnam

[@stevancarter1426]

Watch "The Year of Living Dangerously" with Mel and Sigourney Weaver. Great film, plus he speaks with his natural Australian accent

[@gippywhite]

Another great Mel Gibson movie is “the man without a face“. A great drama! And another Elijah Wood movie that will blow your mind when it comes to his acting abilities at such a young age is “radio flyer“. It also has the boy from Jurassic Park in it. They are both phenomenal!!! I’ve got to say… your Patreon’s are the absolute best! There are so many movies they recommend that no one is reacting to and that is what makes your channel so unique. These are great movies that would just be lost to time and technology. But you guys are keeping them going! Keep doing what you’re doing! Much love! 💙💙💙

[@jrobertlysaght]

Great reaction. There was a 1991 movie called "Late For Dinner' with a similar theme that I absolutely adored. I highly recommend you check it out.

[@smdias65]

Agreed. Similar, but different ending. I enjoyed both movies.

[@oldford71]

Mel Gibson did nothing wrong..

[@jorgezarco9269]

J.J. Abrams wrote the script. Jerry Goldsmith composed the music score. Mel Gibson acted in George Miller's Mad Max(1979) and Attack Force Z.

[@doogboh]

Goldsmith is simply the best.

[@Laochri]

Mel Gibson did not have a Scottish accent in Braveheart, just a crappy attempt. He was born in Peekskill, New York. His parents moved to Sydney Australia when he was 12. The closest roll he had that he could've had an Australian accent would be Mad Max, The Road Warrior, & Gallipoli.

[@TTM9691]

And "The Year Of Living Dangerously", which is the one she'd probably like the most. (It's more of a grown-up movie, though, it's not for people with the tastes of an eleven year old boy. But that's the movie that put Gibson on the map as a serious actor (which lasted about ten minutes, lol). And gasp! It has a woman in it! lol Sigourney Weaver, fantastic performance from her. Linda Hunt got the Oscar for it (for playing a male character, no less). I do love Gallipoli, but I've never been so bored in my life than being 13 or whatever it was, sitting in a movie theatre watching dopey Mad Max. What a vapid decade the 80s were, lol. (We've never left it!)
