Both of these guys are hilarious in real life. The promos they did for this were just as funny as the movie.

[@clevelandcbi]

They were hilarious on The Graham Norton Show, especially Ryan dying laughing at Greg Davies' stories 😂😂😂

[@Gnossiene369]

That's scripted too you absolute sheep. Everytime there is a camera and expect you to watch, they are at work, getting paid, to lie. Literally. That's their job. We know nothing.

[@maximillianosaben]

This and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang make for the perfect double feature from director Shane Black. They feel like sibling films, and both are darn hysterical.

[@chefskiss6179]

THAT, like this one, is sadly missing a much needed sequel. Or even a lone Val Kilmer outing with his character.

[@alainorozco8032]

Fantastic call!

[@pabloc8808]

Oh man I remember checking out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang a while back (before watching The Nice Guys) and thinking "oh cool, RDJ". Shit is hysterical, the russian roulette scene had me in stitches

[@jordanmcquay9077]

What about In Bruge

[@maximillianosaben]

@@jordanmcquay9077 -There were several movies that I used to keep stored together on my shelf back when that I just really enjoyed from around that time, as different as they were. The ones I remember right now were Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, The Ice Harvest, The Matador, In Bruges, Lucky Number Slevin, Running Scared.

[@bluebeeper9811]

I love this movie its a shame it wasnt more popular a sequel would be awesome

[@daquaviousbingleton9763]

Surely it’s a possibility it’s grown a bit of a fan base

[@grendelz]

Ryan Gosling puts on a masterclass in this movie

[@callumcowan7047]

It's a crime that this didn't become a buddy cop trilogy. It could have spanned the rest of the 70's and then into the 80's, I thought the same as you just before you said "please tell me a sequel of this came out or is being worked on."

[@jamesatkinsonja]

It kind of 'writers its self' in many ways given the social changes in that period give plenty of material to work with and you've got room to grow the characters [with Holly growing up etc].

[@dacsus]

Today it will be full of woke sht.

[@noban419]

Facts

[@ReallyGoodandKind]

Hell yes. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I really wanted a sequel. 😢

[@jerraldwest8531]

As far as I'm concerned this movie is flawless. It works as a murder mystery, it works as an action film, and it works as a comedy. I honestly can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it, and that's rare for me when it comes to movies.

[@maxducoudray]

Simply one of THE most underrated movies.

[@PerfectHandProductions]

That Nixon in the pool gag had me in tears.

[@gordonhaire9206]

I've watched this so many times and laugh every time. I don't know why more reactors haven't done this.

[@mrkelso]

Def agree: this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Crowe and Gosling are bizarrely good together. How this movie didn't burn up the box office has baffled me since I saw it the first time.

[@Strider91]

Dude, this was such an amazing movie. I dont know how more people arnt reacting to it. It was glorious

[@kodywalker5842]

Up there with Tropic Thunder as two of the best written comedies of all time.

[@daver18qc]

YESS, love this movie! :D "Don't say [and stuff], just say they were doing A*al"

[@streaky81]

It's a crime they didn't make sequels to this, even at the time of release it was obvious they needed to.

[@chrisleebowers]

There's no sequel, but writer/director Shane Black made a similar action/comedy buddy movie with RDJ and Val Kilmer called "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" 2005 which would be the next best thing for you. Shane Black revolutionized the buddy cop genre creating Lethal Weapon, the most successful franchise in the genre. He also wrote "The Last Boy Scout" and is writer/director of "Iron Man 3"

[@mattlawrence1932]

Didn't Shane Black play in the original Predator film???

[@chrisleebowers]

@@mattlawrence1932 Yes, he was Hawkins, the guy who kept bombing with all his dirty jokes. He also had bit parts in "Hunt For Red October" "Robocop 3" and "As Good As It Gets"

[@shesemerald2011]

This movie is beyond amazing. Straight up gold!!!

[@chefskiss6179]

SO glad yer checking this one out, I loved yer enthusiasm. Btw, when they were in the elevator going down, Gosling did this hilarious nervous eye twitch. And Angourie Rice just massively stole whatever scenes she was in 😂😂😂

[@TheDravic]

You got to do "Crazy, Stupid, Love" starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, to name a few of the actors at some point.

[@TheRealAhoy]

This may arguably be the most underappreciated movie of all time! Time to light up.

[@davidmeir9348]

This is such a fun film and Gosling and Crowe (along with the superb Angourie Rice) have such a great chemistry together. It's sad that there has not been a sequel yet (this and Dredd are movies that definitely deserve one), but at least we have this hilarious and kick ass classic that is not on people's radar nearly enough.

[@bobcobb3654]

Crowe and Gosling are a great comedy team. It’s a shame they haven’t teamed up a few more times.

[@kahlbutomacfarland]

A profoundly underrated movie.

[@kevindorn2508]

Kiss kiss bb is also very good. Similar vibes. But i prefer this one. And my favorite Gosling "Drive". Completely different kind. VERY stylish with few dialogues, good vibes and hart, short action. A neon fever dream.

[@redtailzephier4141]

I love this film, when this came out in 16' I saw this in theaters 6 times, it's one of my favorites. Other good Gosling films to check out are Drive, A Place Beyond the Pines, Blade Runner 2049 and The Big Short which also stars Brad Pitt and Chrisitan Bale. Also some other hidden gems of Shane Black u should check out are The Last Boy Scout, A Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang

[@maxducoudray]

‘16, not 16’

[@arnodk2852]

Ryan Gosling is also in a really good film called Stay, check it out. His film Half Nelson is also really good.

[@readywerx]

The person that said, "You should seriously think about changing your story" was Shane Black, the writer/director of the movie. Cheers!

[@EllisThings]

Dude this one absolutely rules. And yeah 100% move KISS KISS BANG BANG up your list - exact same vibes: unlikely duo, noir style investigations, dark comedy, super sharp dialogue. (also, not on the same level, but CRAZY STUPID LOVE is a surprisingly funny one with Ryan Gosling)

[@praxton]

Shoulda been a blockbuster. Vastly underrated. They're finally seriously talking about a sequel.

[@thatcarlchick7655]

OMG you described Matt Bomer's performance perfectly! "Unsettling." 100%.

[@user-yj9rk9oz9p]

A famous elderly actor was laying on his deathbed, being interviewed by journalists. One asked him, "Is it difficult to die?" He answered, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."

[@crigarsha]

Ever since this movie...i look for any opportunity to use the "don't say AND STUFF" line! lol. this movie is comedy gold! if you want another Ryan Gosling comedy...it's a rom/com...."Crazy, Stupid, Love" is just a refreshing change of pace from the standard rom/com!

[@ToniMcGinty]

As well as directing the two you mentioned, The Predator and Iron Man 3, Shane Black wrote Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout, as well as Last Action Hero (partly) and the criminally underrated Monster Squad.

[@maxducoudray]

He acted in Predator. He didn’t write or direct it.

[@ToniMcGinty]

@@maxducoudray No, not Predator... THE Predator. Though he did do rewrites on the original.

[@pduidesign]

The guy who did this movie also made a movie like this called “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” with Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It’s also a buddy cop comedy/detective/murder mystery type of movie. Really freakin funny as well!

[@markmcgee2417]

Ryan Gosling was in the Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake .

[@user-qj1bq3gq9x]

Yes he was

[@Firsttime61]

Yes this one surprised me too! If you like Ryan Gosling in this , you’ll Gray Man! Please check this out- it has Chris Evans playing a very different character.

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

Quickest click of my life Caped. I adore this movie. Everyone needs to see this.

[@franksinatraiv2006]

This is now my favorite reaction of all time, surpassing trading places

[@nunuonroad9969]

I hope this movie starts trending and reactors give it a watch, so good

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

Shane Black wrote and directed this. The other films he has like this is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's very very similar. Same sense of violent humor and snappy dialog. He also wrote the Lethal Weapon movies, which are also similar. Great buddy cop movies.

[@lord69z]

Probably the best buddy cop movie since Lethal weapon - it's a pure GEM of a movie

[@BoBobber383]

I have a suggestion "Green Street Hooligans" with Charlie Hunham and Elijah Woods

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

There is no sequel, but there is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. A movie from the same Writer / Director Shane Black. It's in the same universe and same tone. No over lapping actors, it has Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer instead, but they are spiritually the same characters. Very similar in basic motivations. You've love it almost as much as this movie.

[@ExhaustedElox]

This is my #1 hidden gem movie! I tell anyone and everyone I can about it.

[@dexterriley]

Been waiting for u to do this. Its almost a shame they are such big stars coz it would be a phenomenal series on hbo

[@majimasmajimemes1156]

This is a certified hood classic

[@JoshuaDay0550]

this movie is top tier dry/dark humor lolol love it

[@TheOdMan]

As others have pointed out, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is similar in tone and style to this movie, written and directed by the same guy, Shane Black. Then you have the OG Buddy Cop movies in Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 and 4, written but not directed by Shane Black, and then The Last Boyscout, once again written by Shane Black. They all share a vein of similarly quick witted and dry humor, but Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the one that most resembles The Nice Guys. They're all very entertaining movies however and I recommend you give them a try if you haven't already.

[@nataliep6385]

You should do some "Cooking with Caped" videos. Damn i'd love to see you make food and just talk about stuff ☺

[@stevenguevara2184]

We will never get a sequel but a reimagining or new take any time now. His Daughter is funny as well

[@guymon82ify]

This movie is the best

[@RustyX2010]

Ryan Gosling is good in the movie "Drive" in which I hope you get to see it.

[@puppetmaster8551]

This movie was one of the best comedies of the decade, massive shame it didn’t do well financially so we will never get the sequel they set up

[@cpaton1284]

Everybody wants a sequel, but it was a sleeper when it came out and probably wont get one. This is brilliant , enjoyed watching you. React to one of my absolute favourites ,

[@phillybul30]

This movie was hilarious. Definitely made me gain more respect for Gosling. He was funny AF in this.

[@cpaton1284]

There are a lot of promo stuff they did that is hysterical.

[@daddyp6969]

Drive is a brilliant Gosling film -- NOT a comedy, though. He's also great in Crazy Stupid Love -- That IS a comedy and is hilarious!! Highly recommend.

[@dard4642]

Ryan Gosling won me over in this one.

[@angelagraves865]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is hilarious and a must watch.

[@MrMojoRisin13]

They have great chemistry, and that's shocking.

[@chrisleebowers]

1:15 The somewhat erroneously named "buddy cop" genre - they're almost never both cops, it should be called "buddy action movie" genre (48 Hours - cop and furloughed convict, Midnight Run - bounty hunter and bail skipper, Last Boy Scout - PI/ex-Secret Service agent and Football star, etc)

[@CT.1982]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is literally this movie but with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer

[@guaddv]

They're good friends in real ife, and they were waiting for the right project to come along. It was successful, but it wasn't a runaway hit. I love the ending. Could've used a sequel.

[@JohnSmith-wh2ob]

Gosling and Crowe are a great duo and a powerhouse of acting ability

[@Close_Quarters_Ramen]

Bro! If you havent seen it, PLEASE watch "The Count of Monte Cristo" it is amazing!

[@SquiresIsle]

The best explanation I've heard for why this movie works so well: Neither of them ever TRIED to be funny. They played both roles with complete sincerity, and that made the funny things they did and said 10x better.

[@jeremyroberts9065]

Yeah, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang feels very much like a trial run for The Nice Guys, it's a similar setup; Neo-Noir Buddy Comedy with a screwup teaming up with a more serious-minded tough guy and it's also set in LA, though it was then modern day LA (mid 2000s) and the mystery is a bit more straightforward. It's still very funny with the same kind of humour you liked from The Nice Guys. 🙂

[@Aggiebrettman]

A sequel is... unlikely, but not because of a lack of interest in the principals. I think the best we can hope for is whatever Shane decides to do next. And I will be there for it.

[@Aggiebrettman]

And yes KISS KISS BANG BANG is very much in this vein. Highly recommended for another great unexpected comedy pairing.

[@corinablanco7500]

This movie needs a sequel

[@jmsmys13ify]

This is a brilliant successor to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

[@heinrich4673]

You should watch Crazy,Stupid,Love too!!! I bet you will love it

[@tbone35453]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a comedy in the same style as this - a must watch!

[@mrgonzale0978]

its a tragedy that there is not sequels to this movie. or a series on any stream service.

[@winwinmilieudefensie7757]

We need an hbo series with these two

[@kellifranklin9872]

I love this movie! It didn’t really get the love it deserves. It’s so damn funny! I really enjoyed your reaction to this. I would love a sequel!

[@Enrique-Garcia]

There was talk about a sequel but there's been no development.

[@stanley2681]

yo this movie is such an underrated gem. love it and love that you reacted to it. the ONLY...the only natural next reaction should be kiss kiss bang bang with robert downey jr and val kilmer. it is deff very similar to nice guys. they are usually referred to as a pair. they are not equally funny but they are both very funny in just their own unique ways.

[@gardenlover9663]

A movie you may like is called Night Shift. Starring Michael Keaton And Henry Winkler. Directed by Ron Howard. They run a call girl service out of a morgue.

[@danielstartek1497]

This queen is informed!

[@PaulOdontknow]

A spiritual sequel to L.A. Confidential. Too bad Guy Pierce had to pull out.

[@alexanderpavlovic8370]

It's not a comedy in the least. But you should definitely see the movie Drive with Ryan Gosling.

[@TheMovieManiac99]

Glad to see someone LOVE this movie as much as I do. BEST movie of 2016 AND one of the best Comedies of the 21st Century. Your analysis was Spot On ! *Note* "Amelia" is in "Once Upon a Time....In Hollywood"

[@LLentium]

Check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005).

[@bethscott4330]

Great job! You made me laugh out loud. I needed that.

[@colbyswanstone2496]

Def one of the better R rated action/comedies that’s been made in the last 20 years. Gosling being able to show off his comedic chops was a pleasant surprise. Shane Black has a long list of great writing credits… the Lethal Weapon franchise, The Last Boy Scout and more

[@Midnight.in.broad.daylight]

Why haven't I've seen this, it was real good i had a great laugh thanks for the great reaction .

[@rustybarrel516]

LOVE this movie! An under appreciated gem. So glad you enjoyed it. Your reaction was priceless.

[@devs.4254]

Movie is funny as hell

[@jamesm654]

The dead body up against the tree was Robert Downey Jr

[@ItsJustFox]

I. Fucking. Love. This movie.

[@jjsdad4952]

This is one of my fav reactions ever. I also went into this a couple years ago with zero expectations...hadn't even heard of it and it instantly became my new favorite. Watched it maybe 5 times in the next month. Two great movies come to mind for different reasons. The Big Short - Gosling is great but it's just an awesome movie Midnight Run - Great mid 80's buddy cop flick starring Deniro and Charles Grodin. IMO, two best buddy cop movies ever... Midnight Run and 48hrs Again, great reaction! -Peace

[@jetsstabler]

I agree with your whole assessment.

[@olov244]

never saw this one, guess I HAVE to see it now. ever seen boondock saints? pretty funny violence in it

[@EGGTESTTUBE]

This is a great movie

[@labmonkeyplays6665]

This is a great double feature with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

[@declanmueller2652]

I love this movie. Is it too subtle to be popular? In one way, it's similar to a Wes Anderson movie; they're both funnier than they get credit for because the humor is often visual.

[@ams914]

Time to go on a Shane Black tear. I recommend Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang next.

[@mitchellhodgemeyer7306]

They didn't make a sequel - this movie didn't do that well at the box office and is criminally underrated. However, there is another movie that you must watch since it is clear that you love this one - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It is written by Shane Black, the same guy who wrote this and some other great movies you should check out if you haven't already, including The Long Kiss Goodnight and Predator (he even starred as one of Arnold's men in Predator also). Anyway, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is another buddy-cop type movie (though neither of the main characters are are cops) that is full-on hilarious just like The Nice Guys. These two movies together are some of the funniest things on film in my opinion - much funnier than most strictly comedy films - right up there with other hilarious movies that aren't strictly comedies like the Coen Brothers' movie Raising Arizona (which is in my top 10 movies of all time and one of my three all time favorite comedies. The Coen Brothers have made some of the funniest films ever in my opinion, and I feel like Shane Black is like a brother from another mother to them so to speak.) Anyway definitely check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and also check out The Long Kiss Goodnight - which is yet another buddy cop type movie that rules. It's not as funny as The Nice Guys or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but it is still a super cool and sometimes funny movie that I'm sure you would really like.

[@maxducoudray]

He only acted in Predator. He didn’t write, direct or otherwise create it.

[@mitchellhodgemeyer7306]

@@maxducoudray Thanks for the catch. I mistakenly thought he wrote that too - maybe because I know he wrote that recent "The Predator" movie.

[@markmaioli4]

Unfortunately no sequel. For some reason people didn't get it when it came out. Have no idea why, it's frickin hilarious! KISS KISS, BANG BANG is definitely a must - Robert Downy Jr & Val Kilmer are great in it.

[@jonathanwelchbmnc7615]

Great movie.

[@TequilaToothpick]

Fantastic reaction to a fantastic movie.
