This movie has some of my favorite comedians, music artists, pro wrestlers, and pro football players all in one cast!

Who woulda thought the Longest Yard remake was the movie that’d make James swear? I certainly didn’t but I support it nonetheless🤘🤭

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

You should go watch my Breaking Bad reactions on my other channel. I think I said F twice one episode.

[@deenormus1975]

@@AwesomeUSMovies 🤭Good to know! U did drop the f bomb in one of ur earliest reactions-maybe one of the Star Wars movies? It’s quite rare when u do…and I love to hear kind, decent people let loose every so often🤘. I adore ur reactions, James - u might be the most authentically genuine person on KZbin. It’s refreshing & hilarious, m’friend🖖

[@kellysquirrelk]

The Swear Jar made me laugh! Cloris Leachman did a ton of movies with Mel Brooks & I'd forgotten she was in this. Burt Reynolds was the epitome of 70s movies & the original version of this is worth a watch.

[@nobody4214]

The UK version is called mean machine...well worth a watch

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Great to know thanks

[@kevinexline5392]

So the guy that Sandler played in basketball trying to get him to join the team was Michael Irvin, Hall of Fame wide receiver and 3 time Super Bowl champ for the Dallas Cowboys back in the 90's. The beauty of having him in the movie is that you can just let him do all of actual receiving.

[@frednich9603]

I thought he was great in this!

[@BrianD0313]

IMPOSSIBLE! Dallas Cowboys never make it to the Super Bowl ;)

[@frednich9603]

My brother worked on this film. Think he was one of the grips. Said it was one of the sets he had the most fun.

[@kracker469]

Love this remake, only watched the OG once when I was little. This movie is full of stars, awesome reaction James. Love your channel

[@lw3918]

Remake is lame. Doesn't even compare to the original.

[@SavaFiend]

I won tickets to see this in a theater when it came out off of a local radio station. It was really fun watching in a theater actually!

[@bradpriebe9218]

The big guard that they gave the estrogen to us former WWE/WCW wrestler Kevin Nash. The big guy who was lifting the bleachers is Bob Sapp. He's an MMA fighter from early in the UFC. Cheeseburger Eddie is Terry Crews. He's been in lots of movies (Blended, the Expendables series) Caretaker is Chris Rock. Yes he was in both Grown Ups but he was not the voice of Donkey (but I can hear the similarity, that was Eddie Murphy)

[@Sgt-Gravy]

Thanks for beating me to it. 😂 yeah Eddie Murphy is the donkey.

[@tempsitch5632]

Bob Sapp was never in the ufc. And he was never really a “fighter”.

[@TheRealPowerRanger]

and dont forget the very big guy The Great Khali former WWE wrestler

[@shadowfrost__]

I love Adam Sandler movies and this movie is good, however the original blows this out of the water. They include nods to the first movie in this that you won't get. Also the secretary is Cloris Leachman and she is the grandma in Bad Santa, also she is Frau Blücher (the house caretaker) in Young Frankenstein. The guy who they switched his steroids with estrogen is Kevin Nash a wrestler as well, he is also the guard outside the red circle club in John Wick.

[@kiaayo33]

I never knew there was an original, I remember watching this for the first time in my Math class and it was amazing watching it with all my friends in the middle of school.

[@mblackwl]

Just as a reference, this was the 12th biggest film at the domestic box office in 2015. The 1974 one was the 9th biggest. So, it was likely a slightly bigger hit, but not by much

Haven’t clicked on a video so fast!!! 💪🏽💪🏽

[@ashrak12]

You definitely need to watch the original with Burt Reynolds. He actually played QB in college for Florida State but got injured. Jaws from James Bond is also in it.

[@hinesmaster99]

I have both on dvd, Burt was in both. My father before he passed loved the original along with Smokey & the bandit & Boogie Nights.

[@ChrisBurke-p1m]

Yes, please absolutely do the first one Burt Reynolds stars in the lead role in it

Hey James Arizona finally made it to this movie.. yeah !!

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Yeah James you definitely should have done the original with Burt Reynolds.

The short quick running back that went with Crewe after the basketball game is Nelly, the rapper.

[@callumjames2406]

Along with this one and the original. There was also an British remake called Mean Machine.

[@leeswain]

There was an English version made called Mean Machine you might be interested in. Also Wildcats (1984) is another American football movie with Goldie Hawn. :)

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Burt Reynolds is the Assistant Coach, And the Star of the Original movie from the 70s. By the same name.

[@green_eggy]

that huge dude that doesnt really speak english is also another former wwe wrestler, the great kali

[@alexhaas9653]

It's a fun remake. But the original from 74 with Burt remains #1. Would love to see a reaction to that. As well as Deliverance. And: Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones was a surprisingly good alternative version.

[@YorkshiremanReacts26]

Literally just left a comment saying he has to do mean machine now. The scene with Jason Statham basically beating the living 💩 out of Danny Dyer never fails to leave me on the floor crying! 😂😂😂😂

[@thajuice100ify]

I notice someone already mentioned it but yes there was a UK version/remake from 1999 i think. Starring Vinny Jones and jason Statham, hence the team name in this one. So this is actually the second remake. Its definitely worth the watch!

[@mistyxmarlboro]

This channel, EOM Reacts (with J’s commentary & Blank’s editing), & Awkward Ashleigh are the BEST reaction channels! You three make me laugh with you more than anything else! Keep it up man!

[@stevensauer8539]

Goldberg. Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Great Khali. Kevin Nash/Diesel. There's some wrestling royalty in this one. And Khali, too.

[@bidwell13]

11:02 this guy was a wrestler and he was also a cop in India. Imagine breaking the law and having this guy arrest you. 11:42 this phrase was made famous by the Friday movies. 26:47 he was calling him the n word and trying to provoke him. They were also throwing books on the floor. 31:58 yeah he’s usually the “you can do it” man. 32:21 they were going to have a stunt double for Burt but he said he had one more good run left in him. Brian Bosworth who hit him was honored. He said how many people can say they got ran over by Burt Reynolds. They did it in one take and Reynolds did it with no injuries. He did have to be helped off the field. So when the other actors are helping Reynolds off the field that’s real. He got the wind knocked out of him. 33:32 I love how Knauer changed how he felt about Crewe. Seeing Crewe defy the warden knowing what the consequences would be showed him that Crewe was thinking about his teammates and not himself. 34:56 not Donkey. Eddie Murphy was Donkey. He was the giraffe in Madagascar. He’s also in a couple other Adam Sandler movies like “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan” and “Sandy Wexler”. Another one of Chris Rock’s movie that’s good is called “Head of State” he plays a person that’s similar to a mayor (alderman) and gets tapped for president. It’s a great movie that also has Bernie Mac in it. The original “Longest Yard” is just as good although I’m sure there are some out there that will attack my opinion of the movies but I don’t care cause it’s what I think. The Warden’s buddy Duane played Captain Knauer in the original and Burt Reynolds played Paul Crewe

The origina one is great!

This is a remake of a Burt Reynolds Classic.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Trivia for The Longest Yard (2005 version): - Released in 2005; directed by Peter Segal (same director of Tommy Boy and 50 First Dates); written by Sheldon Turner. - Burt Reynolds (Nate Scarborough) played the Paul Crewe role in the original 1974 movie. - Former ESPN anchor Dan Patrick appears in a cameo as the mustachioed cop in the beginning. - Filming was done at New Mexico State Penitentiary on Route 14 in Santa Fe, known as "Old Main." The football game at the end was filmed at El Camino College in Torrance, California, and the golf course scene was filmed in Simi Valley. - The Longest Yard was released on May 27, which was the exact same day as the animated family film Madagascar, which also starred Chris Rock (Caretaker). - This was the highest-grossing film released by MTV Films until 2013; it grossed $190 million worldwide, and $158.1 million in the U.S. and Canada. - Related to that, the $47.6 million gross for opening weekend was the largest for Adam Sandler's career, and second all-time behind The Day After Tomorrow for a film that never reached #1 at the box office. - There is something called the Golden Raspberry Award, or "Razzies" for short, seen as the "bad movie" counterpart to the Oscars. Burt Reynolds would receive a Worst Supporting Actor nomination for this film. - Nicholas Turturro, who plays Brucie, is the younger brother of John Turturro, who played Emilio the butler in Mr. Deeds. - Burt Reynolds was supposed to have a stunt double for the final play of the Mean Machine; he insisted on doing it himself. Brian Bosworth, a former college and NFL linebacker, considered it an honor for Reynolds to run over him. Reynolds was seen as the epitome of "cool" to some. - The actor playing Guard Papajohn (the actor is Michael Papajohn, funnily enough) was Adam Sandler's stunt double in The Waterboy. - It was the last film for actor Eddie Bunker, who played Skitchy Rivers. He died two months after the film's release.

2 but technicaly 3 of these movies ..... the old original and then a british version called " mean machine " which is the same film but the set in the UK with football ( not american football ) being the sport . I belive mean machine came out before the reboot of the longest yeard with adam sandler . But yeah , there is 3 versions of this film .

[@Kamenari37]

Subjective as to which movie is better. They both have their pros and cons(p) to be sure. Having watched both I suppose I'd have to say the 2005 version is the easier watch in terms of modern films and comedic tone. But both have Burt Reynolds so, in the end it's a tie.

[@Iamtheiguana]

There is actually a 3rd of this movie its called Mean Machine. Its a british version replacing football with soccer and jason statham is the goalie

There's 3 movie's of this there's the original with Burt Reynolds. This one both movies have the same name. Then there's the British version called MEAN MACHINE with Jason Statham and vinney jones 👍

First Bert Reynolds played in the original as the Cruise character Second there were a number of wrestlers in this movie On the guards. You had. Kevin Nash. And Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I have washed both of these films from my childhood and my adulthood and I love them both. I highly recommend you take a chance and watch the original with Burt Reynolds it's a far more serious film but it has a lot of depth that this one does not have.

This is a fine remake. Old movies before the 80s have their charm, but simply due to the evolution of acting and filmmaking, in virtually no way do they stand up to most movies made today. Its like when people say that 2001: A Space Odessy is still better than like Interstellar, or any other space movie made today. It isnt. It doesnt even come close. People place old movies on too high of a pedastal. They don't hold up to films today. Just get over it. I also find it so bizarre how people keep saying "watch the original with Burt Reynolds." Burt Reynolds is IN THIS FILM. Like wtf? You all should clarify with "Burt Reynolds as the lead."
