WTF Makes The Rundown So Fun?!

[@johnf198207]

Sad to say that over 20 years later, this is still one of Dwayne Johnson’s best movies, if not probably the best movie he ever did. I was fortunate to catch it at the theater back in 2003. I actually watched it recently and it still holds up. Wouldn’t actually mind a sequel after all these years.

[@rhaimusg5785]

I liked him in Walking Tall as well. There was something that he used to bring to a movie that just isn't there anymore.

[@mrhumble2937]

Walking Tall als9

[@jliller]

@@rhaimusg5785 Walking Tall was a movie that was cut too lean for its own good, but Rock was solid.

[@ethinos2719]

I don't know if that's really sad. Look at how many bands have their best album being their debut album. Sometimes magic just happens early and it's hard to replicate it again.

[@jliller]

@@ethinos2719 Debut albums usually represent years of work and fine tuning. Sophomore albums are often rushed to capitalize on the success of the first album. Nirvana is an outlier that their first album was clearly the beta edition and their second album was the refined product.

[@thefunshow2024]

3 words: Seann William Scott, the greatest side comic actor in the film history! American Pie, Jay and Silent Bob, Evolution, Cop out, Old School, Role Models and he makes Goon one of the best sports movies ever!

[@panbaiye]

You forgot country Mac Goon is objectively the best sports movie ever

[@codyscards6698]

Hes also fantastic in a movie called the promotion with john c. Reilly

[@Mr.Witt85]

Woodcock.

[@Zed-fq3lj]

Goon is indeed something special 🤩😁👍

[@dragon8me2]

Bulletproof Monk was a good movie he was in too.

[@dirrtydog27]

This movie is actually called 'Welcome to the Jungle' to which i prefer than the later name change to 'Rundown'

[@ethinos2719]

It's an American film and called 'The Rundown' here, therefore, that's the true title. It's only known as that alternate title in lesser countries.

[@jamesmorant1406]

Combination of Midnight Run and Romancing the Stones great chemistry between The Rock and Sean Williams Scott

[@chadb9270]

This is my favorite Dwayne Johnson movie. He’s not yet full on action man, he still has to work on his comedy. Plus this chemistry with Sean Williams Scott is fantastic. I wish they had done a sequel where they teamed up as disgruntled bounty hunters. It would’ve been spectacular.

[@thetalentof]

Got to love the aesthetic of 'The Rundown' which makes it 100x more fun, shot on Panavision Super 35 to give it those gorgeous warm kodak colors with the same cinematic texture that 'Romancing the Stone' and 'No Time to Die' have.

[@ardent9422]

This is actually my favorite movie with The Rock, everytime it's on a steaming service or tv I watch it. I wish they would do a sequel, or a TV series with the actor who plays the adult version of the Rock in the show about his life. Peter Berg is a bit of a schlock director, but he really hit a homerun with this one.

[@hussd21]

One of my favorite action movies. Doesn't get the recognition it so rightly deserves

[@PrinceBarin77]

Really enjoyed this when it came out. The opening fight is a blast especially with the Arnie cameo that precedes it.

[@nbarealtalker]

The most important thing The Rock could do in his life is to make a sequel to The Rundown. It’s his best film. Call it “The Fast Walk”.

[@jimimarley9088]

The Rundown was a damn good, solid, perfect movie!

[@mychunkyjordi7585]

This is called welcome to the jungle in England

[@paulo143PE]

Same here in Brazil.

[@wstine79]

The cast had great chemistry and the plot was familiar but fun.

[@Phillycheeeeze]

This was one of the DVDs I always used to watch on my grandpas portable DVD player when we went to Las Vegas .. Along with Bad Santa, The Goonies and Next Friday 😂

[@LukeShowBiz]

Rundown and walking tall launched him into more bigger movies 💯

[@naziburtarik4297]

This movie is underrated gem.

[@kerry-j4m]

AGREED.

[@ciaranmurren]

Good movie, good video on a good movie. More like this please.

[@thepayne7862]

My favorite sketch with him on SNL where he was playing.Clark Kent and he was in the office and everyone knew he was Superman and was making fun of him.

[@Forcemaster2000]

This movie doesn't get enough love! I've been a huge fan of this movie since it came out!

[@william3307]

He was still humble in The Rundown, he didn't have his huge ego that he has now.

[@miltongarcia5637]

I have often thought what a sequel for this would look like. The Rocks character running his restaurant being pulled out of retirement because Scott's return and need for his emergency aid.

[@Cin3mattic]

One of my favorite movies!

[@mjc8248]

This movie is great, and it still holds up.

[@nonoobsallowed]

"Debt collector Beck" in Miami club underworld (Comedy/Action/Drama) should be a TV series. Just like in the start of The Rundown

[@ponya3.66]

Loved him in this, Walking Tall and Be Cool but I think Faster is one of his best 😍

[@Zed-fq3lj]

Best Rock movie to date! Awesome fun, for repeated watching 🤩👍👍 Pure action comedy fun! Seann William Scott was the true star of the movie, Walken also excellent, side characters cool!

[@ranger51262]

The Rundown was great for action fans, I loved it and bought myself a dvd

[@davidrose647]

This 🎥shows he was an action STAR.

[@simonwoodthrillerwriter]

Still The Rock's best film. This is still a fun and entertaining flick. It's a shame it wasn't a success because there was potential for a fun series of movies.

[@orhanamin1347]

Hey Joblo... *Arnold Schwarzenegger Voice* Have Fun!!

[@REE-Animation]

What, is that KINO from Ninja Turtles 2? Remember, most fight scenes in movies are speed up around 15% + -

[@richborn6700]

Yeah Ernie Ryes Jr

[@ffnendhgrgd]

Third best role, behind Fast Five and Be Cool

[@walterbowman3883]

I miss those type of action movies

[@adamkovacevic8887]

Can't believe he put the same falling scene in two different films though

[@jessisanchez8150]

The Rock plays himself in every movie, The Rundown was the 1st time we got to see it so it felt fresh, now it feels over done

[@TEBLify]

It was a fun movie, but I've never heard that title before. It was more or less, a straight to video release here - under the title "Welcome to the Jungle".

[@richborn6700]

Still hilarious Rock claims be clean and drug free when he's over twice the size he was in this film, 22 years later. I miss the Dwayne Johnson era before 2012 when he decided to go full Rock and never looked back

[@SeeSetJaeMiirTv]

This & give my favorite rock movies & pain and gain

[@DougUnfunny]

Its a solid action comedy with well done action scenes. If you haven't seen it its worth checking out. its probably one the Rocks best films.

[@kerry-j4m]

AGREED.

[@timfagan816]

It's always been 'welcome to the jungle' in all 3 of the country's 18,000km apart I have lived in.

[@seereadnhear]

Too bad it never got a sequel.

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

It was called welcome to the jungle in the UK

[@SirTyJensen]

The Rundown is good, I have the DVD.

[@ministerofdarkness]

The movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger passed the torch. Have Fun🙀

[@cheetopendejo6660]

we've been using the tooth fairy as a threat for 20years

[@SeeSetJaeMiirTv]

I watched recently on Pluto or tubi it was still fun

[@robhowell4424]

I remember seeing this in the cinema and to this day it still makes me laugh I feel this and walking tall are the rocks best movies way before he got his big ego lol in the uk this rundown had a different name it was called welcome to the jungle for some reason much better title if you ask me

[@PMCKnivesAndTools]

It's called Welcome to The Jungle, no?

[@michaelhowell2326]

The Rundown is great bc it's before The Rock started concentrating and distilling his own farts to get high on.

[@RH1812]

Ahh, when Johnson tried acting.

[@Bluboy30]

I love this film but it should've been a hard R-rated action like Sly's and Arnold's 80s action films. The bloodless PG-13 action scenes are the only downside of this fun film.

[@dmk42000]

His hair looks so fake in the rundown I cant take my eyes off it xD

[@Not-TheOne]

This is when I liked the Rock, same with the movie Walking Tall. I even like Scorpion King. Yet this fake, enormous shell he has become, doesnt interest me at all, it even puts me off if he is in a movie.

[@EricDravenNoCominBack]

surf ninja!!... Doom I still enjoyed. not exactly a fan of dwayne
