I hope you enjoyed my reaction to Willow. I really loved this movie especially all the fantasy elements. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE... almost 15k subs!

[@jayaye9926]

You missed Val Kilmer. If you've watched Top Gun he was Ice Man.

[@michaelhenson5396]

"The dust of broken heart."

[@michaelhenson5396]

I say that to the kids 😂 "Out of the way Peck."🤣

[@amachumeleon1124]

Talking of fantasy, I'd love to see your reaction to Lord of the Rings -trilogy.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Val Kilmer was Madmardagen, he was in Top Gun, and played Batman . . . So many roles. Just look him up. Also serrated weapons are a terrible thing because they create wounds that do not close. Wicked wounds.

[@russellward4624]

The "little furry guys in the woods" were the Ewoks and Willow(Wareick Davis) played the main one that was Lea's buddy.

[@TheInfo45]

That's very true and actuality he was just a young teenager when they were looking for extras for the film and his grandmother suggested he go and try out. And the rest is Cinema history

[@AFTepes]

Actually all the actors were used as EWOKS there was a lot of them

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Warwick Davis has been in a lot of George Lucas films. He was the little ewok with Lea in Star Wars episode 6. "Willow " was the first film that Warwick wasn't in a costume hiding himself. Check him out online and you'll see how . Many films he was in. He was only 17 years old when the made "Willow ".

[@dwaneanderson8039]

Also, Lucas wrote the character Willow specifically for Warwick.

[@JoeandOlly]

He was also the Leprechaun in the leprechaun horror movie series. He was the goblin banker and flit wick in Harry Potter. He was more in costumes in a lot of his movies. He was Marvin the paranoid android in the newer version of “The Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy” and Wickett the Ewock in Star Wars and the separate Ewock adventures.

[@JoeandOlly]

The elder dwarf was Billy Barty. He was actually one of the Munchkins in the Wizard Of Oz movie. Madmartigan was Val Kilmer who played in Top Gun, and Doc Holiday in Tombstone

[@ryanclark6402]

A couple of tidbits: While Ron Howard directed, this was largely Lucas having fun (hence the Wilhelm scream and the Lucas punch noise). Also, after some feuds with film critics, he got some revenge with this script. The fearsome General Kael was named after Pauline Kael of the NY Times, and the two-headed beast, the Eborsisk, was named for Siskel and Ebert. Also, Pat Roach, who played General Kael, has a habit of dying in Indiana Jones films. He was both the German airman whom Indy fought on the tarmac and ended up being shredded by a propeller and the Thuggee slavemaster who beat the kids in the Temple mines. His scene from Last Crusade was cut.

[@sharpgirl72]

OMG Siskel/ Ebert. Mind blown.

[@greenpeasuit]

This movie really helped put Val Kilmer on the map. He previously had done a few comedies. He went on to do more action films, most notably playing Batman in one of the 90s films. Perhaps the biggest star, however, imo, is Billy Barty who played the Elwun village elder. He was pretty much THE premier little person of that era. If you were gonna hire little people, you wanted Billy! If I remember right, you watch "Me, Myself & Irene". The guy that played the limo driver that fathered Hank's kids is visible in the village as well as an extra.

[@chris...9497]

Billy Barty was big in little people on and off the screen. He organized and unionized them, fought for their rights. Back in the late 30s, when they needed little people to portray Munchkins, it was Barty who gathered people for the cast. He wasn't able to be hired due to being too young at the time. I recall Barty as the character named Screwball in "Legend".

[@vincegamer]

@@chris...9497 I remember him from countless tv appearances, including the Love Boat

@@AwesomeUSMovies yes I enjoyed your reaction. 💯

[@rachelmckitterick]

Same here! I grew up with this and it has never been forgotten.

[@shainewhite2781]

This one of my sister's favorite movies growing up! I remember watching this on ABC then they showed the movie in 2003 in its original widescreen format during the Sci Fi Channel Christmas Day Movie Marathon. Val Kilmer (Madmartigan) married Joanne Whaley (Sorsha) after the release of the movie, but called it quits in 1996.

[@Ivy94F]

I discovered that after I saw her in a subsequent film and her name was Whatley-Kilmer. I freaked! Lol! I had no idea until I saw that and figured it out.

[@lynn2574]

This was a favorite back when it came out! My bestie and I had all the good one liners memorized. I still do the ‘ahhh… beer!’ In the brownie’s voice when I get a good beer. 😂

[@cyberingcatgirls7069]

The High Aldwin may not be the most powerful wizard but he has what it takes to be a great leader--he thinks on his feet.

[@PatissaPA]

What you REALLY need to watch, if you like this, is "Time Bandits" ... Hella funny adventure movie 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ... My brother ❤ time bandits. 🎉

[@sharpgirl72]

Yes yes yes and one more YES

[@lucianaromulus1408]

That and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen!

"It's the guy from the basement!" Got me in a fit of giggles. We almost named our son Airk.

I didn't remember his name and couldn't think of a better word then basement... It's Iowa, we all have them.

[@liabowden8526]

I read this comment before watching and Still had a good laugh when it happened!😅💚

[@st0n3p0ny]

Willow! Woohoo! Thanks Sharp Girl. How about Flight Of The Navigator?

[@cypher300]

Compliance!

[@9teen80s]

Warwick Davis is a masterful actor, You should watch other movies/shows he has been in James, like Leprechaun, any of the Harry Potter movies, also Lifes Too Short and An Idiot Abroad Season 3. Everything that man is in is gold. Thanks for the amazing reaction James.

[@vincegamer]

He was also the guest of an episode of Who Do You think you Are that is very worth the watch

[@deadlyice2042]

willow is played by warwick davis who was professor flitwick in harry potter and mad martegan is val kilmer who was iceman in top gun

[@vincegamer]

He was also the goblin Griphook in Harry Potter

[@valerielansford565]

Love this movie and your reaction! To this day whenever anyone says " It went away" (like for a headache or pain or illness) my standard response is ' It went away? I dwell in darkness without you and it went away!? Lol

[@nickmanzo8459]

The sword that covered the arm was actually based on an Indian sword called a Patah. The idea was to use it almost like a lance and to strike with the full force of the arm, without needing a handle to get in the way, but more than likely, it was more of a gimmick/ceremonial weapon.

[@codypendragons]

If you see any film with a little person in it. Squint and look closely. It could possibly be this guy. He doesn't have the long red hair. He usually sports it short, but he's around, he's all over the place.

[@totomomo18]

The best fantasy movie ever made better than Lord of the Rings. You should also see Lady Hawk. Also I can recommand you The Tv Series Jim Hanson The Story Teller. Val Kilmer is in it which is also in Top Gun and Top Secret ! (A great spoof movie from the same directors as Airplane!). You should also see Van Kilmer in The Saint. You know Val Kilmer (Madmartigan) and the actress who plays Sorsha got married in real life.

[@3Kings_Industries]

The Mad Mardigan! My late wife and I loved film. Rumor has it that this film was originally set to be a live action Lord of the Rings, but it was turned down. Thus, all the fantasy sets, costumes, etc. got re-purposed. And, now we have Willow !

[@playfulpanthress]

I'm glad for it! This was one of my favorite movies growing up! I'm sorry for your loss, though! You and your late wife have excellent taste!

[@Galiant2010]

I grew up loving this movie. Just happened across it in the VHS section of my public library as a kid lol. The comedy, the action, the music even! What I've learned I love about it over the years of rewatching is that it knows how to introduce an idea early on and pays off on it later. It seems a lot of stuff skip that intro part and jump right to the extreme use and people complain like "Oh, they can do that?!" Like the love powder with the brownies and then Mad Martigan later. His simple magic trick with the pig at the beginning and then with Elora at the end. Fin Raziel saying how Bavmorda turned her into the animal and then later Bavmorda turning the whole army. It reminds me of D&D shenannigans. You introduce a concept in a non-essential moment just for the laughs, but then it's been established and you can work it into essential moments later lol.

[@goldieschooch8512]

Liked the movie. It always amazes me how they get horses to perform thru all the noises & a bunch of people without all running away!

[@suesaul4727]

Billy Barty (the village shaman) has been in a ton of films, Val Kilmer played Doc Holliday in Tombstone and he was also Batman in one of the earlier movies. Warwick Davis was in Harry Potter.

[@GingerKittiSK]

I haven't seen this since I was in highschool. I loved it then and it was so fun seeing it again! Thank you! 😄💖

[@tarzapopohead]

I actually wrote a story in third grade inspire by this movie that won me southern CA outstanding youth writer. It went to CA and I did not win, however it almost got published into a children’s book. The director actually wrote me to congratulate me when I told him it was loosely based on his movie.

[@TheKrensada]

That animal was an Australian Possum.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Possum... nice thanks

[@patriciataylor8672]

The little creatures in Star Wars are called Ewoks and the actor who played Willow, Warwick Davis played one of the Ewoks in Star Wars when he was a 11 year old child.

[@ryanfeit1420]

Great reaction James! I absolutely love your laugh 😅😅 This was a great picture. Fantasy films were huge when I was growing up in the 80's. Two more fantasy movies you might like is "Labrynth" from 1986 starring David Bowie (one of my all time favorite movies) and "The Dark Crystal" from 1982.

[@tree6787]

Oh I highly recommend The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth two of my favorite childhood movies as well❤

[@diggerdog9205]

Another vote for The Dark Crystal

[@jndaley]

Yes to both of these films! But I think a better follow up to Willow might have to be Time Bandits!

[@AngelusBrady]

So glad one of your patreons suggested this as well. I also suggested this video to you back in your Fifth Element video so it's nice to see you watching it!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'll get to all of them hopefully at some point.

[@beaulane2628]

This was my favorite movie growing up. I have watched it with my daughter and now I have a granddaughter who I call sticks as a nickname ❤

[@chris...9497]

Battle is Sorcha's love language...

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I never noticed it before but there seems to be a running theme in this movie that doing magic is painful to the sorcerer. Whenever Willow would try to use the wand it hurt him badly. So when Willow used the disappearing pig trick on the baby, he faked being in pain afterwards, so she would believe it was real magic.

[@benjamineckles]

Madmartigan and Sorcha falling in love was Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley actually falling in love. They were married and have two kids together.

[@hgijanto]

Such an excellent film to react to. I am glad you saw this. Your Harry Potter spells had me cracking up.

[@vanyadolly]

One of my favourite childhood movies, and it's still just as delightful every time I see it. Not only do you have a cast of great actors, but the chemistry between them is just perfect.

[@joshuayeager3686]

One of my childhood favorites. Val Kilmer, who played Mad Mardigan, has a great collection of film roles worth checking out, including his portrayal of Jim Morison in “The Doors” and one of my favorites “Thunderheart” as well as “Tombstone” which I think is right up your alley as a book reader.

[@vanyadolly]

Top Secret is *the* must-see Val Kilmer film

[@russellward4624]

Have we really not seen Val Kilmer before? Haven't watched Top Gun? He and Sorsha were married..

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Madmartigan was Val Kilmer, who you have seen before - he was Iceman in Top Gun.

[@chris...9497]

Kilmer also did a fine impersonation of Jim Morrison in the bio-pic "The Doors". Also starring roles as Batman in "Batman Forever", Doc Holiday in "Tombstone", FBI agent Ray Levoi in "Thunderheart", and 'American rock & roll star' Nick Rivers in the farce "Top Secret", among a number of other films.

[@digmission]

You should check out the pirates of the Caribbean movies. The first one is called the curse of the black pearl

[@StoryMing]

You didn’t recognize the actor for the main title character, probably because he is most often hidden inside some sort of costume or other when he is onscreen. That’s Warwick Davis! He plays (among many other roles) an Ewok in Return of the Jedi, and dual roles as both Professor Flitwick and Griphook (Gringotts bank teller goblin) in the Harry Potter series.

[@SonOfMuta]

Warwick Davis (Willow) also played Ewok Wicket in Star Wars, the titular character in the Leprechaun series, and Professor Filius Flitwick and the goblin Griphook in the Harry Potter series

[@serenitytoepper]

The Brownies are the funniest part of this whole movie.

[@greenpeasuit]

If you have watched any of the old 70s-80s sitcoms, you may have recognized the shorter brownie as the actor that played Squiggy on Laverne &, Shirley.

[@chris...9497]

You're thinking of David L. Lander who was Squiggy and that's not him. The shorter brownie was played by Kevin Pollak, who now plays Moishe Maisel in Amazon Video's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". Interestingly, the Mrs Maisel character is a standup comedian and, just prior to being a brownie in "Willow", Kevin Pollak was a successful standup comic.

[@greenpeasuit]

@@chris...9497 wow, I have been wrong since I was a child. Thanks for that. I was also incorrect in thinking Airk was played by Keifer Southerland.

[@raphaelperry8159]

Airk Thoghbgar has got to have one of the hardest names to remember how to spell in any film I know of. Fortunately I played the board game before watching the film so I had to commit the spelling to memory.

[@sharonjoan1970]

Oh James I Love this Classic, this is one of my Favorite Val Kilmer movies❤ Thank you for sharing your movie journey with us...

[@kennethcook9406]

Warwick Davis was also the head banker goblin, and professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter movies. Also the "Leprechaun" in that insane franchise.

[@ashleykoivisto8138]

Here's a piece of interesting trivia: Warwick Davis, the guy who played Willow, was seventeen years of age when he got the role

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

yeah, that is interesting. He looks way older then that in this.

Also Warwick Davis was 18 years old during the filming of this movie.

Ewoks were the little forest creatures.

[@dionysiacosmos]

One of the rare movies where you can see the male and female leads falling in love in real life and intensifying what's on the screen. Another is to Have and Have Not the first pairing of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The screen just sizzles.

[@christophercrane9540]

For more Val Kilmer, you should see his first movie, TOP SECRET! From the guys who made AIRPLANE! Super funny spy comedy.

[@vanyadolly]

Usually people remember Airplane, but Top Secret is the best parody ever made IMO. 😂

[@williamjones6031]

1. Fun movie! 2. That two headed critter is all kinds of cool!😎 3. When the evil queen goes down I think, "Couldn't happen to a nicer guy" 4. Trivia time: Warwick Davis' first gig was the lead Ewok in "Return of the Jedi" when he was only 13 years old. 5. Val Kilmer had a respectable resume. Another movie with him in it not mentioned enough is "The Doors" where he plays Jim Morrison and does all the singing in the movie. His(and my) love interest is Meg Ryan.😍 6. IRL Kilmer and Joanne Whalley fell in love making this movie and were briefly married. 7. The brownies remind me of Lenny and Squiggy from the old "Levern and Shirley" tv show. 8. GOOF: Kaya is seen in the ending celebration then shows up with the children and acts like it's the first time she sees him. 9. Is there anything Ron Howard can't do?

[@christiantidball6121]

Warwick Davis was THE little person before Peter Dinklage made it popular again. I saw Willow, Return of the Jedi and Labyrinth in theaters. I also remember he was the Wicket the Ewok in all the Saturday morning cartoons and live action movies. Now he is Griphook and Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter series. I'm with you on horror, but he was also the Leprechaun in that corny horror franchise.

[@chris...9497]

Warwick Davis also provided the voice for the goblin that showed Harry and Hagrid their vaults in the first Harry Potter film (the original Griphook). The goblin was physically portrayed by Verne Troyer. In The 6th and 7th Harry Potter films, the role of Griphook was taken over completely by Warwick Davis.

Try the 1981 movie Dragonslayer It is a really good film... It had me up to my chin under the covers wishing I hadn't given up the stuffed dog I used to cling to... It has fantastic Dragon's in it!!!

[@alib6615]

@@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah, did not do as well as expected. Which was surprising considering it was George Lucas and Ron Howard. I think George Lucas thought it would be the fantasy equivalent of Star Wars. It does seem to be more of a cult classic, but I still think it is very underrated and I don't get why.

[@evelynroadmedia9415]

Madmartigan (played by Val Kilmer) had a fairly successful career during/after this film, but his not really known to be in the top level of actors, the career tailed off a bit in, a rough guess around the 2000s, though \i think he still pops up here and there. The other actor that had some form of success is Willow Ufgood (played by British actor Warrick Davis), his been in numerous larger films that obviously require actors/actresses that are small people, one was the Star Wars series, and has more recently been on television (British). One is a gameshow host, and around 10 to 20 years ago he was on series two/three of a sky programme called 'An Idiot Abroad' made by Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant (Steven Merchant made an appearance in one of the X-Men spin off films).

Hair and outfitting can make a huge difference. I haven't seen Top Gun, but looking up images I can see how it would go unnoticed as he does look quite different. Looks like a white surfer punk in Top Gun with the blonde/frosted tips, but here he seems a bit darker in skin tone with black hair. Just looks quite different. If you look right at the facial structure of the eyes/nose/mouth you can tell.

I wonder how long till someone mentions the series. 🤣

[@d.t.nelson8805]

Not sure this is a better camera than your go-pro, however it could just be the learning curve that comes with using new equipment (as someone who was owner of a video production business I know all about that). One thing that might help, though.... turn off the auto focus and just set your focus manually if at all possible. You should have recognized the actor playing Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), he was in Top Gun (although it's been over a year since you watched that). Warrick Davis (Willow) played numerous characters in both Star Wars movies and the Harry Potter Series.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

It would be great to see you do a reaction for UPGRADE 2018 its a very underrated movie and i can tell you it's definitely one of the best 21st century sci-fi movie. Only just 3 million dollars budget they managed to make something much brilliant and much better than most Hollywood movies these days. I highly recommend for you to see it 👍 Here is some others movies that i definitely want to see you do a reaction that i have already highlighted. Also other movies that i have separated from the highlighted ones either you want to a reaction or not. It's your choice 😊👍 *Speed Racer* *Deep Blue Sea* *Ninja Assassin* *Dark City* *Reign of Fire* *Tron Legacy* *Vantage Point* *Inside Man* *Burn After Reading* *LA Confidential* *Den of Thieves* *Pain & Gain* *Cube 1997* *Exam* *Eagle Eye* *Black Hawk Down* the ending of this very inaccurate because the US army didn't "save themself" from the war. A foreign military from Malaysia helped them from getting killed and saved them,you can look it up on the internet. Hollywood and directors should definitely show what really happened based on real event like this war,it's an absolute disgrace for them to show something that is very wrong from what happened.

They made a TV series recently based off this. I haven’t seen it, but heard it wasn’t as good as the movie.

1 minute in I'm like..I hope he didn't toss the gopro..lol..

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'm still working on the setup. What bothered you about it?

[@michaelhawk-fitz7563]

@@AwesomeUSMovies no problem at all..I just thought it was ironic when you said you got a better camera it immediately went out of focus, then fixed itself..it's the little things that get me laughing to myself.. loving it all..

George Lucas doesn't like using known actors in his movies. Being in a George Lucas movie turns you into a star; being a star doesn't get you cast in a George Lucas movie. Val Kilmer was probably the most famous of the actors going in to this film... but he wasn't super famous at the time; became moreso later. Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver... all became major stars *after* starring in a Lucas film. Only major exceptions to this rule I can think of are Sir Alec Guinness, Christopher Lee, and Samuel L Jackson.
