Sorry for the late upload! It was just so hard to cut this movie down! We had such a blast and can't wait to watch the next Arnold Movie! Thank you everyone for the support!

[@karengreen2348]

This is one of the greatest Arnold movies of all time one of the greatest 90s movies of all time and they just don’t make them like this anymore

[@J0rdan912]

Make 2-parts videos

[@davezwieback4208]

Another great Arnold Movie is The Running Man. When it comes to James Cameron, you should check out The Abyss.

[@foreignmilk5589]

pls make commando the next schwarzenegger movie to react to

[@FilthTribeFTP]

To be honest dude, if you ended up only cutting half the movie and posted a longer video, im sure most of us would still dig it. As long as the movie is good and the parts left in are relevant, an hour long video is fine. Your reactions are awesome to watch. One of my favorite out of the thousands of lame reaction channels. You and your wife got it on lock!

[@hellowhat890]

9:27 Fun fact, the horse on the roof scene almost got Arnold killed for real. During one take, the horse accidentally did throw Arnold off at some point because it got spooked during filming that scene. Fortunately, he saw it coming and managed to jump off in time into the safety cushions before actually falling off the roof of the building. It was not the take where he dangles off the reins of the side of the roof. We almost lost Arnold in the making of this film. So glad we didn't.

Word is they were gonna make one, but after 9/11, they said "terrorism wasn't funny anymore." According to some behind the scenes special features on the dvd or something.

[@DamonCzanik]

*Some trivia*: Tom Arnold's character mentions something like "what kind of sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer?" He was married to Roseanne Barr and she did that to him. He told James Cameron who thought it was so funny he put it into the movie. 9/11 is primarily the reason why we didn't get a sequel. A script was written but after 9/11 Cameron felt that "In this day & age terrorism just isn't funny anymore" This movie was Schwarzenegger's desire to play a secret agent and James Cameron added in the family part as he wondered "What would James Bond's life be like if he was married with children?"

[@tbenjaminlarsen]

Actually this is a remake of the french movie «La totale». Cameron adapted it, but the family stuff is from that movie, as are pretty much all the beats of the plot.

That he did. It sucks he died, though. Hahah. In that scene where he's talking about Arnold's wife like that way, I would have felt like it hitting him. However, it worked out well at the end of the movie where he was afraid of the couple. He would never pull something like that with them again. haha.

Probably an issue of who now owns it. A movie I really like, dogma, isn't on blu-ray because companies sell off and got bought from others it can be confusing. Kevin smith who made, wrote directed etc can't even buy the rights to his own film.

My husband and I went to see this expecting the usual spy thriller. What a treat. The problem with seeing it in the theater was everyone was laughing so hard you missed some lines. I think we went a second time with friends. It does not disappoint!

[@MrSmartAlec]

The tux under the scuba suit was another James Bond moment.

[@mehlev]

This movie has a special place in my heart because my late grandmother adored it .. she was in her late 80s and would seriously watch True Lies like once a week, always with some peanut butter swirl ice cream 🤣❤

[@supersizesenpai]

What I love most is she says " I married Rambo". For those who don't know this is hilarious because through the 80's to the mid 90's Stallone and Arnold had a bit of a movie rivalry going that they took pretty seriously. They would try to get each other's auditions and would also to one up each other's films. Arnold once tricked Stallone into doing a movie that ended up being Stallone's biggest flop, the film was "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot". In a nutshell Arnold was offered the movie first but turned it down because he knew it was a garbage script. However instead of leaving it at that Arnold decided to leak to the press that he was actually interested. This of course reaches the ears of Stallone who immediately jump at the chance to be in this movie. Stallone filmed it and to this day regrets it because as he says "It's the worst movie in the solar system". 😂 This is one of my favorite Hollywood stories right after The Mario Bros Movie.

[@jldog134]

I remembering saying "No Helen you married The Terminator"

[@bdog1323]

Earlier type of Arnold film like this, but much, much more cheesier but a classic today with one liners & such is Commando. And you get to see a young Alyssa Milano. "what did u do with Sully? I let him go." LOL

Commando is definitely on our list! Can't wait to watch it!

[@Dragon969Reviews]

It's nice seeing people react to Cameron movies for the first time, now you know why the fans of his movies are annoyed that he's stuck to doing Avatar movies for more than a decade, with nothing to show for it, instead of doing other movies too.

[@TheBushDownTheStreet]

Thank you for blessing us with this late night treat.

[@TBRSchmitt]

Thank you for watching!

[@jp3813]

I always thought that Eraser (1996) makes for a good double feature w/ this movie. Not as epic, but if you want more Arnold doing another secret agent type role, it's the perfect follow-up.

[@scotthewitt258]

I own both. And often do a "Double Feature"

[@Scottie_S]

I love Eraser! Both of these movies have action mixed in with a whole lotta fun.

[@SamJackson-xu1py]

Yeah Eraser is still fun though.

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

The voice of the helicopter pilot when they are tailing his wife, who says, "Yahoo," is James Cameron. He also voices the pilot asking about the nukes.

[@trevormellis1041]

Definitely on my top 10 list of all time! Not much I can say about this that everyone else hasn’t already said. Favourite part has got to be at the dinner table when Helen is telling him a bogus story, and it just drowns out and zooms in on Arnold and he’s just steaming! Anyways, another great reaction. Another really good comedy with Arny is Kindergarten Cop. It’s a classic!

[@TheSeeking2know]

Genuine chemistry between the leads. Great action. Awesome story! One of Arnold's best.

[@ActionJackson1982]

The bridge being destroyed was actually a miniature

[@emilen2]

This scene has got to be in top ten for most realistic looking explosions. 👍

[@hellowhat890]

Fun but sad/respectful fun fact: They were going to do a sequel movie for this. Unfortunately, they never started production at all. The story would focus most of it on a commercial airliner with Harry and Helen back as the spy couple. But the 9/11 attacks occurred when they were brainstorming the script. So they decided not to go through with it out of respect and they felt it wouldn't have been appropriate to do so. This film, as James Cameron admitted, was perfect as it was and could work as a standalone.

[@trayolphia5756]

Then another thought of a sequel got stuck in development hell during arnies time as governor, where Harry would have either been KIA or captured, and would be up to Helen and a now older and trained Dana working as a team to avenge/rescue Harry...

[@alucard624]

@@trayolphia5756 Sadly that was shelved too again due to 9/11. Cameron himself stated he's moved on from doing it and has no desire to revisit True Lies again.

[@TBRSchmitt]

As much as I want a True Lies 2, that sounds like they made the correct decision to shelve it! Maybe they can still do one with a retired Harry and Helen or something haha!

I totally love the part in the end when they were dancing tango and Jamie Lee Curtis tried a low dip but it was a fail, I laughed so hard, I loved her character even more😘... and you guys are right, there should be a sequel to True Lies, maybe their daughter Dana (Eliza) would play as a spy from this gen, and her parents would be like RED(Retired, Extremely Dangerous) type of spies. hahah that would be fun to watch.

[@tomking7080]

When I lived in Los Angeles in the late 90’s we use to hang out at the Skybar at the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd a lot. One day we were coming up to the hotel on the side street ,Olive drive. The women that plays Juno Skinner in this movie,Tia Carreere,was walking up to the Mondrian hotel with a older gentleman that looked exactly like Woody Allen. My buddy yells out “only in America bro,only in America!!!” We ended up seeing them in the Skybar where we sat next to them at the bar and bought them a drink. She was really cool.

It's just so easy to watch, and so enjoyable But, until you pointed it out, I hadn't realised how much of an impact it seems to have had for modern action movies - I think you're right, that many modern films were inspired by this somehow forgotten gem

Her adult friend confronted the coordinator one day. Eliza gotten injured on same day as confrontation. Coordinator denied the accusation.

The film is an American remake of the 1991 French movie La Totale, starring Thierry Lhermitte as The 'boring' husband who really is a spy, Miou-miou as the bored wife having an affair with the conman played by Michel Boujenah. In it also he uses his spy background to find out about his wife's affair and scare off the would be pretender. True lies is, like most Schwarzenegger movies, not very realistic (even in the context of the film), but it is a lot of fun and holds well, thanks to his great chemistry with, and the acting chops of, Jamie Lee Curtis. And that strip scene. God that woman has a fantastic body. Btw, her falling off while doing it, was a real accident it was not planned. So when Schwarzenegger half raises from his chair after she falls off is because he really thought she hurt herself, it was a genuine reaction that was kept in the movie because it came out so good.

[@ariochiv]

This is really before CGI, so a lot of it had to be done in camera... like the shot where Jamie Lee Curtis is hanging from the helicopter.
