The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) Movie REACTION!!!

Criminally underrated

[@christopherschreiber5805]

Respect to whoever suggested this. A staple of my childhood.

Same here… sometime I’ll watch movies I over watched as a kid an find that I don’t like them the same way, but this one still gets me hype every time I watch it 👍🏼👍🏼

Samantha/Charly was played by Geena Davis. She had a huge career in the 80s/90s with movies like Beetlejuice, Thelma & Louise, The Fly, and A League of Their Own. She was even briefly married to her Fly co-star Jeff Goldblum. She's also a world-class archer, at one point ranking 13th in the United States.

[@Drawkcabi]

Geena Davis was also married to Renny Harlan, the director of this movie, while they were making it.

[@JDelwynn]

@@Drawkcabi Small correction, it's Harlin, not Harlan. Or Lauri Harjola if you're cool.

[@cheeseburger12]

@@Drawkcabi I heard there was talk about a sequel and then her marriage with the director kind of went sour and that killed the sequel.

She also happens to have an Academy Award.

One of my all-time favourite action movies. So underrated.

[@rogerlynch5279]

Mine as well, it is one of mz favorite Christmas and Birthday movies since that is on December 30

Samuel Jackson said in an interview that this is his favorite character for some reason.

Shane Black was firing on all cylinders when he wrote this one.

[@minnidrake8516]

[@KeithDCanada]

As far as I'm concerned, Geena Davis is THE first big budget Hollywood female action stars, tied with Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. Amazing show.

[@jeffk.9075]

That's why DC got such sideways looks from people when they were acting like Gal Gadot was the first anything. We never forgot Davis, Weaver and Hamilton.

Finally someone, you're the man! 🕺🤘🏼 By the way, it's Geena Davis and she got some really good movies! 👌🏼✌🏼

[@ethanholgate2512]

Fun facts this is Sam L Jackson's favourite movie/role he's ever done he had such a great time working with Gina Davies also in the script his character died in an emotional way he said oh hell no were changing that 🤣 he was right. Also awesome Shane black script and I reccomend cutthroat island pirate movie Gina Davies who plays Charlie plays the lead baddass female pirate in that movie its Such an awesome pirate action movie and it was directed by Renny Harland same director from long kiss goodnight

[@vanyadolly]

I'd be very interested in Cutthroat island. Apparently it ruined Gina Davis' career, but as a kid I always liked it.

[@cheeseburger12]

I tried to watch Cutthroat Island last year. I couldn't finish it.

[@Scary__fun]

This is one of three great action movies in winter settings from the director Renny Harlin who also did Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger. He's from Finland where they know a lot about snow and ice, and he was married to the lead actress here, Geena Davis.

[@kotkaconforza]

Great match with screenwriter Shane Black who sets almost all his movies at Christmas time.

[@obdiane]

Wow.. I haven't seen this movie in years. Great reaction. Geena Davis is so much more badass than A. Jolie.

[@fish_thefilmcollector]

Glad you enjoyed this! I watch this every Christmas, because YES it is a Christmas movie!! Would love for you to check out Thelma and Louise for some more Geena Davis.

[@Dinkdownn]

I feel like this one slipped thru the cracks somehow. It’s so good! And hardly ever talked about 😩

[@shainewhite2781]

This film is filled with witty dialogue and one liners.

[@1nelsondj]

Geena Davis won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the 1988 "The Accidental Tourist", nominated for Best Actress for the 1991 "Thelma & Louise". Aside from other films mention she was in "Tootsie", "Fletch", "Earth Girls Are Easy" (with Jeff Goldblum), "Quick Change" (with Bill Murray) and starred in the short-live (10 episodes) TV show "The Exorcist" in 2016.

90's Action Movie Hall Of Fame

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Geena Davis made me fall in love with her, again, as usual for her. I first saw her in "Transylvania 6-5000," and much enjoyed her performances in "The Fly" and "Earth Girls Are Easy". Fun Facts: She is a member of MENSA -- the high-IQ society, and once competed in Olympic trials for archery, and ranked 14th in the nation. Suffice it to say, I find her a very impressive woman.

[@Valheru4]

I loved the look Sam Jackson gave the little girl after she said "Don't hit the cars" when the bridge blew up and it was raining cars ... (not shown in the youtube highlight here) .... it gets me every time.

[@nluna75]

The Last BoyScout, watch it, live it, learn it. Written by Shane Black Directed by Tony Scott Starring Bruce Willis

[@jh5131]

This right here! I cannot recommend Last Boys out enough one of my all time favorites

[@shainewhite2781]

The guy whom wrote this film, Shane Black, also wrote Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Die Hard, and Predator.

[@Snefens34]

Shane Black didn't write Die Hard, but did the Bruce Willis action movie, The Last Boy Scout (1991). That one's good too and equally underrated.

[@shainewhite2781]

@@Snefens34 He did some rewrites for the movie.

[@dosnostalgic]

@@shainewhite2781 No, he didn't. He did uncredited rewrites on Predator and Iron Man, but not Die Hard. You can read Steven E. de Souza's rewrite of the original Jeb Stuart script (which you can also read online,) and it's pretty much what ended up on screen.

My favorite part of the movie is when Samuel L Jackson wakes up in the car and his blues theme music plays! Such a bad ass moment in a movie full of bad ass moments!

[@80sbaby90]

One of the best movies ever made!

[@DaSmerg123]

Fun production note from when they shot this movie: A bunch of this was shot on location at Windermere House in Muskoka (Ontario). There was a serious electrical issue that resulted in a fire that damaged the famous Victorian lodge. Turned out ok as the repairs breathed new life into the place. Thanks for sharing! Really underrated flick. And yeah, for some of us this is a regular Xmas watch.

[@charliepotatoes001]

Yes I remember that event when it made the news back in the day. The resulting lawsuit and settlement was probably the reason that a sequel was never filmed. Studio lost too much money on production.

[@TheHulk2008]

All the water torture scene did was bring out Charlie.

[@SamJackson-xu1py]

lol!

[@leahilumin1826]

Geena Davis and then-husband director Renny Harlin checked how long she could hold her breath in their bathtub to prepare for the "water torture" scene...

[@bigneon_glitter]

A criminally underrated Action classic. There should've been a *Charly Baltimore* franchise/TV series/action figure/breakfast cereal/reboot by now. Geena Davis was the biggest female movie star on the planet in the mid-90s and the 1995 bomb _Cutthroat Island_ pretty much killed her career. _Long Kiss_ came out a year later and was completely ignored - in part, because of a lackluster marketing campaign & the stink of _Cutthroat._ Bad guy Craig Bierko is actually hilarious in real life. Check out his shortlived "talk show" _Bathing With Bierko_ where Craig interviews John Malkovich - in a bathtub.

[@drewwikelius6544]

I'm happy to have learned that this film has a cult following. It was supposed to have a sequel, but It didn't perform as expected at the box office. In 2007 reports of a sequel resurfaced, but nothing as of now; the same thing happened with another hit film Geena Davis was in, Beetlejuice. I would love to see a sequel of both those films. Other films I liked that Geena Davis stared in are Thelma and Louise, A League of Their Own, The Fly, and Fletch. I was pretty young when most of those films came out, but back when I was a teen in a small town we had to walk to our local video rental store and rent a VHS tape, and the selection was small compared to what is available online nowadays. Thanks for sharing your reaction!

[@jorgeflores4928]

Her name is Gina Davis, Oscar Winner Actress

[@Imagination_Station2224]

It is a severely underrated movie! Please consider doing a reaction to Tango & Cash

[@preacher3670]

Tango & Cash is great, saw it first as a kid so it's sort of a classic for me. Even though most people would probably disagree. The movie was also plagued with production issues, so it's kind of a wonder it even got out the door.

[@Imagination_Station2224]

@@preacher3670 I grew up with it as well and I always thought Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone had amazing on screen chemistry. Had great action and fantastic comedy and I always loved the final stretch of the film but I'm kind of a gear head so it was right up my alley!

[@williamblakehall5566]

Whenever he's asked about his favorite movies that he did, Jackson talks this one up. Samantha Caine (note that "Sam Caine" is an anagram for "amnesiac") was Jason Bourne before it ever occurred to anyone to make a Jason Bourne movie. Brian Cox is epic as Waldman and was technically the first actor ever to play Hannibal Lecter way back in a great movie called Manhunter. Out of the blue Geena Davis (Sam/Charlie) took up archery and qualified for the Olympics, and I think you see how assuredly she would hold a bow from the way she handles a rifle. This is the movie that introduced me to Semisonic's "FNT (Fascinating New Thing)." One of my most gigantic guilty pleasures.

[@MoonlitBrenya]

This is one of my all-time favorite films. I was very happy to see that someone had finally done a reaction to it. Geena and Samual were perfect, their chemistry was terrific, and yes, the dialog was SO GOOD! Great reaction!

[@MovieFusion]

Thank you! Was a very fun movie to watch

[@polyprinz]

Oscar winning actress Geena Davis. Loved her in this movie and "A League of their Own". She was also a Victoria Secret model back in the day, before VS was a household name.

[@TheMovieManiac99]

Great, Great CHOICE ! It is one of the most ENTERTAINING movies ever. Geena Davis' BEST performance. >> Check out WANTED, RUNNING SCARED (2006) & SMOKIN' ACES

[@djgizmoe]

One of those movies that was so good but not many people saw in theaters (though I was lucky enough to). I'm super glad that it's finding its audience via Netflix.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Now you should check out Shane Black's other obscure-but-kickass action flick, THE LAST BOY SCOUT with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans.

[@theoneandonlyCatseye]

I am so pumped you reacted to this movie! It's one of my all-time favorites. It tanked at the box office when it came out because female action hero movies weren't well received at the time and I think it kind of was forgotten about by a lot of people. I love watching people discover how good it is! Some of Geena Davis's other movies that are extremely good are "The Fly" (1986), "Beetlejuice" (1988), "Thelma & Louise" (1991), and "A League of Their Own" (1992). She was the main protagonist in the pirate movie "Cutthroat Island" which bombed at the box office as well and was not well received by critics. I always enjoyed it, regardless. I think it's a very fun action adventure movie. She's also been in some very obscure comedy movies such as "Earth Girls are Easy" and "Transylvania 6-500" of which I'm a big fan. Not everyone likes the humor in "Transylvania 6-5000", it's very satirical and absurdist, but not quite as absurd as Monty Python or Mel Brooks movies.

[@deborahlepage1789]

The particular villain - not bothering to look up his name, but another good movie he was in is called The Thirteenth Floor.

[@WarrChan]

I feel like this movie is underrated because the title misled a lot of action fans into not even watching it. This was during the time when driving to the theater was faster than dialing up to the internet to see reviews/synopses. I totally didn’t want to see this when my friend suggested it back in high school. I didn’t want to spend money to watch a romance in the theater. I was totally surprised and blown away.

[@Johnny_Socko]

"Wait, is this a Christmas movie?!" *Shane Black writing credit appears* There's your answer, lol.

[@dosnostalgic]

More Shane Black movies, please! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys are both amazing. Almost all of his movies take place on Christmas, but you don't really have to save them.

[@vanyadolly]

oooH! I can't believe I missed this reaction. This movie is such a hidden gem of 90s action movies, it's a pity it's mostly been forgotten. It was my favourite movie for several years when I was younger. Gina Davis was and is amazing, just like Jackson, and the dialogue and humour are top notch.

Geena Davis filmography is legendary and truly surprised you've never heard of her 😳 Please react to more of her films in the present and future. But first Cutthroat Island

[@jamesjoseph1249]

It's always rare when a woman can pull off being a bad ass who you have no problem believing can physically compete with most men. Geena Davis is a statuesque woman (she' a solid 6 feet tall), but it's her confidence and her authoritative demeanor.

[@GullibleTarget]

True. Even as Samantha Caine, she had a natural authority.

I stand by my belief: the Bourne trilogy movies are closer to this movie than to the Ludlum novels.

Rewatches on this movie gets better and better! Truzz Btw "The Last Boy Scout" is another 90's sleeper that's an absolute classic. Think "Die Hard" sequel before they became meme-like.
