That "Two days till retirement" is a blatant reference to Lethal Weapon, they even do the little jazzy sax in the music.

A cle shay in a lot of cop movies. But most of the time the cop who is approaching retirement gets wasted.

[@JasonJones-zn2os]

@@silvervalleystudios2486 is correct. Lethal Weapon is referencing a long tradition of cop movies. Introducing Murtaugh the way they did was leaning into the trope as hard as possible.

There should be a film where Tony is pulled out of the fictional Hack the Movies universe. His powers of internet stardom and popularity greatly diminished, Tony would have to meet the real world Tony, a humble immigrant pizzeria owner with a dream of singing opera for the queen. By helping the real Tony achieve his dream (and enjoying some pizza pie along the way) Tony just might be able to find his way back to the video store.

[@petewadesays12]

[@kevinclark5802]

This has always been one of my favorite movies, I was 14 when it came out in theaters and I thought it was just another action movie so the fact it was a parody had me laughing throughout the entire film. It was a pleasant surprise. Seeing Sylvester Stallone as the Terminator made the movie for me. Another part I've always loved is when Arnold is telling his Daughter, next he's gonna tell you he loved you in Gone With The Wind. I've often quoted that line when I hear someone give someone else a compliment.

Thanks for the shout-out for Conan. Seriously under-rated and the lore of Hyboria is awesome.

Action hero Tony & Femme Fatale Crystal are chilling out at HACK THE JACK SLATER talking about "Last Action Hero." All before Benedict Justin uses the ticket to bring the cast of Swamp Zombies 2 & Mummy Cop out here.

[@EvaFull]

A parody that was ahead of its time for most. One of my more watched movies as a teenager. Probably because I was right around Danny’s age when this came out.

[@YesterdaysMoose]

Last Action Hero is meta, before meta was a thing. Confusion about "movie world" versus "real world" is understandable, here's my theory: Danny isn't from our reality, he's in "Last Action Hero world" and Jack's from "movie within a movie world". Fantastical things exist because we're watching a movie that has Danny as a character.

The retirement joke I think is from Lethal Weapon. Murtaugh AKA Danny Glover was a few days or two weeks from retirement.

So guess this is a rental renew. I actually enjoyed your rental redos on the fifth element with Johanna, Tony the super famous person from hack the movies

Its weird to think Justin wouldnt want you in too many episodes back to back. I am someone who has listened to everything from rental reviews, the cinemassacre podcast, talk about games and hack the movies. And as a fan of everyone involved in all of the productions it is frustrating to keep seeing projects start up and then stop suddenly. I am glad this show seems to be sticking around at least.

[@harryroberts2630]

Tony has the kindest happiest face

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

I always had a theory that the "real world" was actually just _another_ movie world. Only it was the more gritty, realistic movie world of things like Taxi Driver or Mean Streets as opposed to the glossy 80s/90s action movie world that Danny travels to.

The Night of the Living Dead reference was probably for the Savini remake - recently released at the time and a Columbia release which would make more sense.

Last Action Hero is such a FANTASTIC satirical take on the action genre. No cliche is left unturned, no action scene is too over the top, the one liners are here aplenty, impossible feats are done every other 10 minutes, etc. It also has an all around tremendous cast. Schwarzenegger, Tom Nonan, F. Murray Abraham, Charles Dance, Bridgette Wilson, Art Carney (in what would be his final role), Anthony Quinn, Robert Prosky, and tons of cameos from famous actors like Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell, Robert Patrick as the T-1000, Tina Turner, Jean Claude Van Dam, Jim Belushi, Damon Waynes, Danny Devito, Sir Ian McKellen, and more. Personally I thought the critics were WAY off on this one. Definitely one of my favorite Arnold films.
