WTF Happened to VINCE VAUGHN?

If you followed indie film in the 90s, Vince Vaughn was at the center of a legendary tale. As the story goes, in order to get permission to used the theme from Jaws in the film Swingers, Doug LIman screened the film for Steven Spielberg’s approval. Not only did Stevie Boy allow them to use the scary shark tune but the legendary director knew he had to work with whoever was playing Trent Walker. And, he did just that when he cast Vince Vaughn in his Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World. Spielberg instantly knew that Vince Vaughn was superstar material and he was correctomundo. Over the last nearly 30 years, he has given us some of the best comedic performance mixed in with some bone chilling anti-heroes. But it seems in the past few years Vaughn has slowed down his output to focus on smaller roles in more meaningful projects. Is that a good thing? oOr a bad thing? Or just a thing? It is time we take a look at just WTF happened to Vince Vaughn, who we still think is pretty money.

Old School, wedding crashers, couples retreat, dodgrball, and more plus all the side characters. Vince Vaughn is an absolute legend. He's got some underrated gems as well. This man was a huge part of my childhood

[@wstine79]

Vince Vaughn's fast verbal rants are awesome. His roles in Lost World, Old School, and Swingers are hilarious.

[@blu3622]

Have you seen Clay Pigeons? It's from 1999 it's a dark comedy with Joaquin Phoenix as well, and Vince is amazing.

[@epi4925]

Can't forget "Made"

[@BrianDBacon]

Have you seen wedding crashers?

[@Locadel2003]

I always loved also his serious supporting roles in "Fighting with my Family", "Into the Wild" & "Hacksaw Ridge"

[@onlyonem0llyy]

Those were amazing roles he played too!

[@zxcytdfxy256]

Vince Vaughn is such a legend, my man needs a good script tho, it has been a while.

[@youknowwhoyouare2269]

Many of these comments are 50 shades of Andrew Cunanan, just waiting for inevitable news that one of you followed through🚨

[@Locadel2003]

Not gonna lie this man did two actually legendary fucking hilarious performances in "Old School" & "Wedding Crashers". Two always rewatchable and enjoyable comedies. He was great in "Swingers" and "Made" but his run in the 2000s movies with "Dodgeball", "Be cool", "Anchorman", "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", & "Starsky and Hutch", he was always excellent and funny to watch

[@onlyonem0llyy]

no matter what. I got respect for Vince Vaughn cause he has so many all time classics that still make me laugh

[@Locadel2003]

"Freaky" (2020) was actually a really fun body swap movie, one of the last times I enjoyed his performance in a movie. Even if the movie was a bit too gory and cheesy at times, it was definitely a good performance and a fun movie

[@Dr_1212]

😈👍

[@JokersRevenge48]

The part where she is tied up...was too funny. "Isn't role playing a sexual game? Uh huh!" Super brilliant!

[@chrisvielle6629]

He totally committed to that role. When he was expressing the female personality you can tell he was all in for that one.

[@Locadel2003]

I think his performance in "Brawl in Cell block 99", was the stuff of legend. Really gritty and grim role, he was robbed at least a nomination for a golden globe in my opinion that year, really hard movie to watch but powerful performance

[@pablosonic892]

Legend

[@Mukation]

It's such a weird flick because on the surface it has such massive C-movie perhaps B-movie on a good day vibes, but Vince is just fantastic in it. And somehow the movie just works for me. And as they say in the video, they really take use of his large stature, which i feel like he's never, ever been "known" for, even though he's 6´5 and objectivly towered over most of his co-stars. His height never seemed to play a role in any of his work prior to this. Then again, the movies he's most "famous" for he has happend to play along other quite tall men. In The lost world he plays against 6´4 Jeff Goldblum and in Anchorman he plays next to 6´3 Will Ferrell. But usually someone that tall tends to end up as typecast as the "Big guy", which Vaughn obviously has somehow escaped through his career.

[@davidcurry332]

I’ve heard of that movie bro. I’ve never seen it. I like that is fine. I’m a fan of him. I have to check it out. I’ve never seen that one. I heard. It looks pretty good.🤘🤘

[@lukedraper4100]

His best i love that movie

[@gavinmarks2302]

What a movie, his performance gives me chills. Has to be the least amout of words he's ever spoke in a movie.

[@bridgetortiz7520]

Vince still lives rent free in my head! I still quote him from Old School, Anchor Man, and The Internship. I realize that times change as well as people's taste in movies, however Vince will forever be a comedic genius to me.

[@dalevintage]

I absolutely LOVE The Cell. It's an incredibly beautiful horror piece. It's pure art. The movie was all about the dreamscape.

[@cieslik7564]

It's so great and people don't get it.

[@lealmelisa]

I love re watching it!!

[@ryanwilliams1973]

Vince was awesome in HBO True Detective Season 2. That is one of the most underrated seasons of that show better yet probably one of Vince's most extremly underrated and to me one of his best serious roles. Him,Collin Farell,Taylor Kitsch and Rachael McAdams really gelled together great awesome cast also.

[@yvesheinrich5013]

I second that!

[@flyguy7825]

Ive always felt Vince Vaughn was underrated as a actor he one of those actors that he good in almost every movie Ive seen in its just the movie may or may not be good that Psycho remake was bad!! but Swingers was great! etc

[@jomamabestfriend1225]

Shoutout Minnesota for making Vince Vaughan

[@patf1288]

Loved him in True Detective and Into the Wild.

[@Shadowman4710]

He took way too much shit from "critics" in True Detective. Yeah, it took him a few episodes to find the character but find him he did.

[@patf1288]

@@Shadowman4710 The issue with season 2 was the underlying story connecting everything. It was too confusing and drawn out. The season had some of the most badass, ugly, dark characters with some incredible scenes (much like season 1) but just didnt have a foundation to stand on in my opinion.

[@jacobwagon3391]

18:01 Dude I'm all about Brawl! 😆🤬 And Freaky! Vince Vaughn gettin to use that Imposing 6'5 hight advantage in Movie 🥺💪🏽💯

[@heather000burton]

I love his style of comedy. No one does a rant quite like Vince Vaughn (except maybe Denis Leary).

[@supastar25]

Seeing all of these films make me realise how much of a great career he's had

[@jordibarguno]

I was bummed out when they cancelled the movie, "Outsourced". It was supposed to be Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn crossing the border to Mexico to regain their jobs. It would have been hiiiiilarious.

[@albertcantu2572]

Thanks for doing this on Vince. He’s one of my favorite actors that’s been in some of my favorite movies. Love his work.

[@ELeRoy-lj1yg]

It's good to take a break when you're working as hard as he did. Good for you. Now, let's see whatta else ya got!❤

[@Geovrz]

He also appeared in curb your enthusiasm last season’s as a character there with larry david which is really great

[@jamesmorant1406]

He was so good in Freaky so scary

[@TheHistoryPrincess]

Be cool is the funniest movie i remember him in. He was absolutely hilarious

[@rickc2102]

Yo, everyone really needs to check out that Return to Paradise, for Vaughn as well as Joaquin Phoenix. Really caught me by surprise when it just happened to be coming on at the right time.

[@mvpfireant5188]

He is a top 5 comedic actor for me! And he has real acting chops when he turns it on

[@bulbafett5001]

True Detective Season 2 was a good run. It was screwed by following Season 1's masterpiece of a ride and that Marketing hadn't been clear this was more of a Fargo series with each season supposed to be it's own thing.

[@c00lhand208]

Swingers, Old School, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, & Brawl in Cell Block 99 are tremendous films. Those comedy films are some of my favorite comedy films of all time and Brawl in Cell Block 99 is one of my favorite gritty dark films.

[@jaycarneygiants]

I love it when A-list actors take side roles. Like Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. It's great to see them bringing a different vibe to these non-leading characters. Vince Vaughn is a definite plus for any movie no matter what the role.

[@sirclintonify]

Whole frikkin video I'm just waiting for Brawl on Cell Block 99. Oh my God is that movie good. Vince's acting is pure perfection.

[@ashvsthedeadite6091]

"Brawl in cell block 99" was disgusting, and I loved it!

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

Vince has the best laugh ever. Couples Retreat and The Watch are two movies I can watch over n over. And Dragged Across Concrete is probably my favourite film of his. Brawl in cell block 99 is good too. His performances are solid and he shows he’s got what it takes to play a gritty dramatic role. I also love the director of those films.

[@lcharlesesquire4087]

I grew up watching Vince and I loved every one of his films. I miss seeing him on the big screen regularly.

[@jeallen10x]

[@stephendexheimer7914]

I recently saw him in an underrated movie called Queenpins the story of coupon defrauding gone wrong, it’s like War Dogs with coupons, I mainly watched it for Paul Walter Hauser as I’m a huge Cobra Kai fan and Vince and Paul together had a ton of good chemistry and the story is actually quite interesting, I do recommend if you’re able to find it anywhere

[@simplythebestgirl]

Vince and PWH are great in it, I agree 💯.

[@TotallyNoCat]

Vince is underappreciated. Clay Pigeons is a masterpiece.

[@tarman245]

I love Clay Pigeons! I haven't thought about that movie in years. I'm definitely going to watch it after work.

[@PaulDozierZZoMBiE13]

I always wanted them to make a Dead Rising movie with Vince Vaughn cast as Frank West. I thought he had the perfect look to play the character. He's too old now, of course. And no one but me cares about Dead Rising anymore (especially after Dead Rising 4 sank the franchise). But still, he was my dream casting for my favorite video game if it had ever been made into a film. And then they did make a direct-to-video side story movie but they cast Rob Riggle which was... interesting.

[@pegcity4eva]

I always thought Johnny Knoxville when he was younger would have been perfect.

[@MrBdiddypop]

He’s got so many classic moments. Most of them around a dinner table. Like in “Swingers” when he says, “Ya grows up!” Or the scene in “Wedding Crashers” when he’s like, “He’s joking, feels so good when he jokes.”

[@Dr_1212]

Dodgeball was Hilarious 😆👍

[@joshuawaltz9484]

Vince is a gifted actor. Very funny and can be serious. Brawl in cell block 99 was so violent but meaningful. He should have got best supporting actor in Hacksaw Ridge.

[@jeffthompson9622]

He was memorable in the underappreciated "Clay Pigeons." I also liked "The Locusts." My favorite, because of the difficult decision making involved, is "Return To Paradise."

His career reminds me of Stacy Keach in the 70's or farther back maybe a Joseph Cotton type actor. I think he is top shelf in supporting roles but not sure he has ever belonged in starring roles. I did like him very much in True detective season 2 I think he was great in that.
