Hey everyone! This may be unexpected but this movie has to be one of my favourite Arnold movies. It hit me emotionally in the most unexpected places and I have been thinking about this movie a lot after watching it. Yes... I know it's Kindergarten Cop... but I loved it. Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)

Your reaction to this film is a reminder that we do not need to watch a cinematic masterpiece to strongly connect to a film. There can be films with noticeable flaws but have aspects or scenes that we strongly connect to nonetheless, and we might not have any explanation for it. When that happens, the flaws are still there, but they seem to matter very little. Others might not like the films that we connect to, and they may even have their reasons, but in the end, I doubt that matters. Great job! 👍

[@CherryBlossom7o7]

The phrase "IT'S NOT A TUMOR!!!" in Arnold's voice and Arnold's frustration randomly pops up in my head sometimes and I can't help but to laugh at it lol

[@AWSVids]

It was THE Arnold quote when I was growing up. I think it eclipsed Hasta La Vista, Baby or I'll Be Back.

[@CherryBlossom7o7]

@@AWSVids I fully agree :) I understand why people like the tough Arnold but for me I like his funny side. He doesn't take the Arnold Schwarzenegger tough guy persona so seriously and made Kindergarten cop and twins which are both funny great movies.

[@scottywotty8550]

Of all his movies, Arnold said that ‘Kindergarten Cop’ is his favorite.

[@baronvg]

That was a really nice and sweet story about your experience with kids. And you’re right, part of what art does is to connect with us on a personal level.

[@Stephie_L]

Loved your reaction. I really enjoy Arnie in these wholesome films. I'd recommend "Junior" or "Twins" as well. And you are so right, HEART is the reason why I had the best childhood. Pretty much all the films growing up had heart even if the story wasn't oscar worthy. PS: if you liked the little girl in this, then you should check out "Beethoven" (1992). Another great film with a lot of heart :)

[@melenatorr]

The principal is Linda Hunt, a wonderful, marvelous actor who came to real attention playing a boy in "The Year of Living Dangerously". Often portraying a person of great moral and emotional strength, under-estimated because of her appearance, she has a lovely line of dialogue in the movie "Silverado" after demonstrating the thought: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWPEgmCHa8Zml7s Pamela Reed plays the delightful "wingman" Phoebe. My brother once observed that one of Schwarzenegger's great qualities is that he surrounds himself with intelligent, versatile, gifted actors to support him.

[@marcbloom7462]

You took the words out of my mouth!

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

I love Linda Hunt when she gets to play the tough boss lady because she nails such roles. The first time I really noticed her was in the short-lived series 'Space Rangers' and her presence as the Commander and leader of the colony was unquestionable. She may had to look up to everyone, but no one looked down at her.

Oh man, great reaction. Sometimes nothing hits us harder than a cheesy 90s comedy. Like you said, the heart is there. Also loved all your other names for Crisp, you were cracking me up :D

[@at1212b]

I was 10-11 and at the height of my Arnold worship when this came out. Saw it on VHS and it hit the right notes. Watching it when older, I was surprised to be emotionally tugged on it too.

[@anthonysiguido1116]

This is absolutely my favorite Arnold movie. Saw it in theaters back in the day. I love T2, T1 and Conan, but this is one of the films that also inspired me to teach. Directed by the guy who did ghostbusters. Music by the guy who did Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Im glad you shared your experience with us.

[@XavierXSims]

"Music by the guy who did Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story." Randy Edelman had previously worked with director Ivan Reitman on Ghostbusters II, also. Did you know that? 😄

[@SmithDoe]

I read that they got like 7 different ferrets, each trained for a specific action, depending on what they need him to perform in the movie.

[@toodlescae]

We used to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at school but I graduated from high school in 1979 so that was a long time ago.

[@oldstrawhat4193]

Linda Hunt, who played the principal, is an Academy Award-winning actress. I thought she was great in this. She demonstrates that an excellent actor/actress can make a memorable character out of a small part.

[@krissiep1317]

I’m so happy you watched this. Ditto on the emotional, sweet parts of this movie. They really enhanced the kids’ adorableness. Thank you!

[@llorona7847]

One of my favorite Arnold movies! It’s funny, it has heart, and the kids are great.

[@saint23saint]

I rate movies based on what I would change. I wouldn’t change anything about Kindergarten Cop. It’s not supposed to be Oscar caliber. It’s perfectly fine that it’s predictable.

[@jettqk1]

That's a good rating system! I love this movie and have probably seen it 25 times over the years. But on a recent watch, I noticed that John isn't a very good detective. He assumes that Mrs. Sullivan's husband is Zach's father, but she doesn't say that. She calls him "my husband," and John rules out Mrs Sullivan/Zach based on that conversation, when she easily could have remarried after leaving Crisp. It would even make sense that if she had been married to Crisp her next marriage could be abusive as well. It's actually Phoebe who rules out Zach Sullivan when she learns he's not related to Crisp.

[@mgeek1]

This movie, when it came out was a departure for Arnold. It was his first comedy and it became a huge hit, making $202 million worldwide against a productive budget of $15 million. It was a slam dunk, a crowd pleaser. So, it's no surprise that you enjoyed it. It was directed by legendary comedy director, Ivan Reitman. So, forget about Rotten Tomatoes. Some of those scores are skewed. The next comedy he did was "Twins," with Danny DeVito. You should check it out.

[@pdottie212fu]

I loved all the nicknames you gave Crisp 🤣 Great reaction

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Oliver! 🐣 I can't tell ya how often I hear the words, "It's not a tumor!" (in Mr. Schwarzenegger's voice) echoing through my brain. ❧ The performer who played 'Miss Schlowski' is Linda Hunt. I *love* her! She won the best supporting actress Oscar for playing a male character, 'Billy Kwan', in THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY (1982). She also voiced the nocturnal slug 'Lady Proxima' in SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (2018).

[@irenemichelleanne]

If you like Linda Hunt you should check out the movie She Devil with Roseanne Barr and Maryl Streep.

KC and True Lies are my two favourite Arnold movies. As a preschool teacher myself - I can relate to it too. Dominic was played by two twin boys. They traded off their scenes. You NEED to check out Adventures in Babysitting. The most amazing movie soundtrack of the 80's. It's a lot of fun - and has a very young Penelope Miller in it. I think you would LOVE this :). If you want to listen to another one of the best movie soundtracks - check out Secret of My Success with Michael J Fox. The soundtrack was done by ICONIC Canadian producer David Foster. The movie is a business one - but hilarious and a lot of fun. Michael SHINES in it.

I kept cracking up every time you gave the villain a different name. Also this movie was shot in Astoria, the same town and name from the Goonies. I think there's a wide shot of the town in Goonies and you can spot the school there. This movie is where a lot of the Arnold Soundboards came from. there are videos on youtube where people use recordings of Arnold's voice to do crank calls. they're freaking hilarious.

[@GMJ7]

Don't forget Short Circuit, too! Kindergarten Cop, The Goonies, and Short Circuit were all set and filmed in Astoria. A few other movies (e.g., TMNT3, Free Willy) have used it as a filming location, but those three are the "holy trinity" of Astoria films for me.

[@vananderson2895]

Yes, the Goonies house is just a couple blocks up the hill from the elementary school on the east side of town. One of the nice things the production did was they left all the improvements and special equipment at the school to be used by the teachers and students there throughout the years - including a seriously decked out kindergarten room.

[@barkerjames1980]

Loved your reaction to this movie, as well your reaction to Stand By Me. Your reactions are very heartfelt and genuine. I really like your story about how you kept going back and working with kids at the camp. I have huge respect for people who take the time to work with and help kids. I mentor young boys who need a helping hand in life, and some of them have become very close friends, even as they become adults. The moments that you got emotional in this reaction are the same moments that I get emotional watching this movie too. I have a movie suggestion that I guarantee you will love- The Children Of Huang Shi, is based on a true story and is one of my very favorite movies. I subscribed to your channel after watching this and your reaction to Stand By Me, another of my very favorites. Keep it up, my friend. Cheers from Wyoming!

[@jowbloe3673]

This may not be a typical Arnold movie, but it's one of his best. Has a lot of emotion to it that movies like *Predator* don't. EDIT: Love *The Secret Life of Walter Mitty* with Ben Stiller. May not appeal to everyone, but speaks very strongly to me.

[@BigGator5]

"Boys have a penis, and girls have a vagina." Truth! 😎 Fun Fact: In reality, the kids loved Arnold Schwarzenegger. They were constantly climbing all over him like a jungle gym. Future Filmmaker Fact: Director Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman, has a cameo as the boy making out with the girl that Kimble interrupts during the real fire drill. Location Location Fact: Astoria elementary, the school in the movie, is just a few blocks from The Goonies (1985) house in Astoria. The measured out distance between the two, is 1.6 miles or less than 3 minutes.

[@lynnesears6254]

I enjoyed you enjoying this. :-) In years past, we said the pledge of allegiance every morning at school. Some only say it once a week and it seems many not at all. As far as Arnold just staying and becoming the teacher.....well, you need to get a college degree and now, also a master's degree in order to be a teacher. You even have to be certified in a specific area like grades 2-4 or K-3 etc. To be a substitute you need at least an undergraduate degree. That is until the advent of Covid. In some places they've changed the rules and anyone who passes the background check can be a substitute. They make it tough---so, no, Arnold couldn't just decide to stay. Excellent wrap-up. It is a fun, feel-good movie.

[@Mimi-ki7uv]

Have you seen Hulu's exclusive movie, "Prey" yet? If you've seen "Predator" then you definitely must watch it as it is the prequel to the entire Predator franchise. "Predator" and "The Running Man" (1987) are my favorite Arnie movies ever. I haven't seen "The Running Man" since I was just a kid but that goes to show you just how much I love that movie. 😊

I really appreciated your review of Kindergarten Cop. Good insight. Let me tell you why we like the villain, Cullen Crisp in this. Those of us who grew up on these 80's / 90's movie know him as the 'antagonist' in the wonderfully underrated, cult classic 80's movie, "Three O'Clock High". PLEASE add this to your review list. I think you will find it quite enjoyable. Just found you, and really liking your reviews.
