Romancing the Stone (1984) First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!

[@shainewhite2781]

Be sure to watch the sequel THE JEWEL OF THE NILE There were talks of a third and fourth film, THE CRIMSON EAGLE and RACING THE MONSOON, but both would be shelved as of 1997, as Michael Douglas lost interest. A live action series based on the movie is in development with Gerard Butler starring and producing the project. It was originally going to be a reboot directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

The TV reboot won't work. There are no actresses today that can pull it off.

[@etthelost]

Nice! Didn't know that. 👍

[@jesses5463]

Michael Douglas is in a lot of really entertaining films that weren't big box office hits. I HIGHLY recommend Wall Street, Falling Down, and The Game.

[@disposablehero4911]

Falling Down is such an amazing movie.

[@verisimilitudeteller]

I don't think the game was particularly good. Fatal Attraction on the other hand, unbelievably great.

[@verisimilitudeteller]

If the TBR folks ever watch Fatal Attraction they should proceed watching it with The Big Chill. Just to see Glenn Close in something else first. The Big Chill is truly under rated.

[@jesses5463]

​@@verisimilitudeteller Of course, opinions vary. The Game has a higher rating than Fatal Attraction on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. Fatal Attraction has a higher MetaScore but a lower User Score than The Game on Metacritic. I purposely included The Game and not Fatal Attraction on my list. Fortunately, we are all free to enjoy the movies we enjoy.

[@jkhoover]

Let's drop The Game and add The American President.

[@athens_1psvr31]

The sequel “Jewel of the Nile” is also worth watching. It has the 3 main stars back in it. 👍🏾

[@scottjo63]

Not

[@klamtkp]

"THE Joan Wilder?!" has lived rent free in my head since I was a kid. Alfonso Arau also plays a great character in Three Amigos, with a few more iconic lines, which is a classic goofy 80's comedy with Chevy Chase, Martin Short, and Steve Martin that definitely should go on your list

[@Hexon66]

The film with Alfonso Arau they should see, albeit with him in supporting role, is The Wild Bunch by Sam Peckinpah. One of the greatest films ever made, and hugely influential to many subsequent directors of action movies.

[@Cadinho93]

This is the movie that saved Robert Zemekis career. He had had a couple of flops in a row and this was his last chance. Based on the success of this he got "Back to the Future", then "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", the "Back to the Future" sequels. After that he could pretty much do whatever he wanted. He was up there with Steven Spielberg. Also, Kathleen Turner had fantastic chemistry with all her romantic leads, while still being funny. Besides the sequel, she and Michael Douglas also co-starred in "The War of the Roses".

[@jacob4920]

Zemekis also did "Castaway," which has almost zero dialogue for most of the movie, but is still one of his, and Tom Hanks', best films ever!

[@lajeteefan]

Thank goodness for screenwriter Diane Thomas!

[@robertoliver7368]

War of the Roses is such an underrated movie.

[@dtnetlurker]

I am actually amazed that a few sequels were not made for this great movie. They just made one more. Missed opportunity, but Zemeckis got tied up in the Back to the Future trilogy and only one sequel ended up being made. I think Michael Douglas missed his calling in action adventure/thriller films. In the very few he did he is always great.

[@dereknolin5986]

Shortly after those he did a tiny movie you might have heard of called Forrest Gump. 🙂

[@jrobwoo688]

Danny DeVito is the best! Kathleen Turner is divine in this. Michael Douglas is just awesome. The sequel is great, also. But i really love the movie War of the Roses that also features all three actors as different characters in a different setting.

[@jacob4920]

I thought "Jewel of the Nile" was okay. But it was more corny than awesome. Pretty clear that, as sequels go, it's definitely on the lower end of the spectrum. But "Romancing the Stone" will always be one of the best pure action/romances ever produced!

[@frankrodriguez2999]

The war of the Roses is great

[@LordVolkov]

Danny directs War of the Roses, and it has a lot of dark humor he would later bring more heavily in Death To Smootchy and many episodes of Always Sunny.

[@stevedavis5704]

War of the Roses is a very interesting movie but I found it kinda hard to watch cuz I could easy see it happening. But still a great movie.

[@traydevon]

“The Ghost and the Darkness,” starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer, based on a true story. You should definitely watch that one.

[@randomctzn]

YES!

[@bbwng54]

Kathleen Turner won international fame in "Body Heat", which is a movie worth considering. She was also nominated for an Oscar for Peggy Sue Got Married. Unfortunately, rheumatoid arthritis contributed to shortening her career.

[@SueSnellLives]

She was SUCH a huge star in the 80s. I can't remember a bad film from her.

[@egk2584]

This movie was made to cash in on the adventure/romance market and ride the momentum of Raiders of the Lost Ark. I must have watched this a dozen times on HBO back in the day. Great movie and so glad you both enjoyed it.

[@GarthKlein]

My understanding is that, though it was filmed after Raiders, the original script was written several years before.

[@egk2584]

That's very possible. I didnt mean it was a rip-off of Raiders. It probably got green-lit as a result of Raiders tho.

His agent accepted the Rhinestone offer and Stallone had to do Rhinestone instead of Romancing the Stone. Since Stallone declined last minute, Zemekis talked Michael Douglass to take the role as he was just a producer on the movie but luckily he was also a very experianced actor and had been in alot of movies/tv shows at the time and the rest is history.

Fun Fact: The actress that plays Elaine (Joan's sister), is Mary Ellen Trainor, the wife of director Robert Zemeckis (1980-2000 div.). This was her first feature film. She had such charm & charisma, and was so well liked by audiences, that she was frequently featured in Robert Zemeckis & Richard Donner movies. You may recall seeing her in: The Goonies, as the mom, Mrs. Walsh. In Die Hard, as one of the news anchors. In Ghostbusters II, as one of the Brownstone birthday party moms. In Back To The Future II, although you can't see her face, she's one of the female police officers that takes 1980s Jennifer to her 2015 home. In all the Lethal Weapon movies, as Dr. Stephanie Woods. In Forrest Gump, she plays the babysitter, returning little Forrest, when Jenny got off work & Forrest meets him. In Scrooged, she plays one of the TV executives around the conference table. These are some, there are more. While most don't know her by name, they definitely recognize her. She was a fantastic character actress. One of the other KZbin reactors that I enjoy watching, Ashleigh Burton, after seeing Mary Ellen Trainor for the umpteenth time, finally exclaimed, "And there's the woman who was in EVERY 80's movie, ever made!!" Lol. Not quite, but at times it seemed like it, and I'm not mad at it; she was fantastic! Sadly, she passed away in 2015. RIP🌹

Romancing the Stone was director Robert Zemeckis' very first hit movie after directing two unsuccessful comedies - the Beatlemania-themed comedy 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and the Kurt Russell comedy 'Used Cars.' The screenplay was written in 1979 by screenwriter Diane Thomas, and was her only completed screenplay. Thomas tragically died in a car accident the year after Romancing the Stone was released. The success of Romancing the Stone is also what allowed Robert Zemeckis to make Back to the Future, which was written in 1980 and was the film he intended to make after Used Cars.

Good job Patreons! This is one of the most fun movies of it's time. They should really enjoy this one. For me it's right up there with The Lost Ark. Edit: My new favorite part of this movie is Samantha covering her mouth and laughing as Zolo catches fire.

Great choice! Put War of the Roses on the list!

One thing that I feel was underrated in this film was the stunts. They were top notch performers. Some of them almost got killed during the waterfall stunt, when the catapult to help send the stunt performer far enough away from the car malfunctioned. They got sucked into the undertow of the waterfall and the car. They did manage to recover to safety.

The drug runner guy is an excellent director, and did some absolute riot movies! The 3 Amigos with Steve Martin and Chevy Chase, and Used Cars with Kurt Russell and to many others too mention! The genius of that movie is, everyone of any name is involved behind the scenes! Spielberg Milius Lucas Zimekis, and others!

The guy that played Juan the drug dealer with the big smile also plays El Guapo in "Three Amigos" with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase. Not sure if you've done that movie yet, but it's definitely worth a review.

Kathleen Turner was the voice of Jessica Rabbit in Who framed Roger Rabbit. Another great film with Michael, Kathleen and Danny Devito is "War of the Roses". You really should give it a review.
