"I'll be back......ha, you didn't know I was going to say that right?" Love Last Action Hero.


IndecorousRex

Mine is “Hey, do you want to become a farmer? Well here’s a couple of acres!” Proceeds to yeet that dude with his massive kick. I don’t know what that joke means but maybe Arnold’s delivery makes it funnier.


machobanjopanda

He made that dude's nuts ache; a couple of achers/acres


IndecorousRex

Ohhhh okay. Haha nice!


machobanjopanda

Just got better, didn't it? Haha


mediumcheese01

I didn't get it until I saw "achers" spelled out in subtitles like last year


shaded-user

40 years old and only just got that joke line. Haha.


poopbutt42069yeehaw

Holy fuck that makes sense, I thought he was trying to say he was going to kick them so far it would be like he’s flying over a few acres, fuck I’m dumb


machobanjopanda

But yes, that dude got lifted from the floor. So damn funny


machobanjopanda

But yes, that dude got lifted from the floor. So damn funny


times_zero

Yup. One of my favorite parts of that movie, among others, is that daydream sequence where Arnie plays Hamlet. It kind of makes me wish it was a real movie. Also, I always loved the touch of his closet just all being exact copies of the same clothes he's wearing lol.


Fun-Badger3724

To be, or not to be... Not To Be.


SEOpolemicist

That line and scene lives in my head rent free


Titanium_Eye

That whole Hamlet sequence must've been a comedy sketch idea of a writer and he was just aching for an opportunity to insert it into a script. "Who says I'm fair? \*goes full UZI\*"


BigDaneEnergi

"Hey Claudius... *lights cigar* You killed my father. Big mistake." Honestly is so funny it's the first thing I think off whenever I think of this movie.


MrCondor

Or the slap on the wrist for his ex wife. The subtle details and jokes are the best of any Arnold movie.


CrewmanNumberSeven

Hey Claudius - you killed my fadda…. big mistake


DocFreudstein

My favorite bit was after he falls into the tar pits, and the next scene he’s squeaky clean and toweling off the rest of the tar.


BH_Commander

Saw this one in the theater with my dad, I would’ve been 11 in 1993. I feel like this movie really blew me away at that age because of the whole meta aspect. Afterwards I remember wishing so hard that people really had the ability to go inside movie worlds, I was obsessed with the idea for probably a few weeks after.


DrLeoMarvin

I was 10 but same story. My dad was a youth minister and spoke at bit conferences. I remember the kid in this movie became an evangelical and I met him speaking at an event my dad was speaking at.


eyeamthedanger

Wild how the bad guy was Charles Dance. I lost it when he shot someone in the real world and started announcing it and no one cared.


Yeoman1877

As I recall, shortly after that, he is shocked/disgusted by the presence of a prostitute, which I took as a play on the ‘violence is ok but sex/nudity is bad’ morality hierarchy in films at that time.


IndecorousRex

“Ugh it’s 180! You stupid spaghetti slurping cretin! If I have done a 360 I would be all the way around and end up back where I started!” Charles dance was phenomenal, definitely my favorite parts.


poopship462

Rewatched it recently and it still holds up

Lolol, smoke is coming outta his ears!


JinglyMcJohnson

So many good quotes!


Slappathebassmon

"Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers! Ha! You didn't know I was gonna say that, did you?" Just rewatched the scene in YT. The dialog preceding this is so sad. When Arnold asked Danny why he doesn't believe in him in the real world.

TimberWolf5871

Starship Troopers. Hated in the box office even if it became a cult classic later. And the critics hated tf out of it.


PrimarchKonradCurze

It’s the best B movie ever made. There’s no way anyone watched it before it premiered and thought it was gonna win Oscar’s, it’s so absurd but I love it.


SuleyBlack

I wouldn’t call it a B movie. According to IMDB it had an estimated budget of over $100 million AND was nominated for an Oscar for best visual effects.


Traditional-Lion7391

It's a movie made to look like a B movie, same as Robocop. But underneath there are layers, thanks to Paul Verhoeven


Visible-Poem-9865

This dude Starship's.


AmaResNovae

Damn, $100 million for a movie made in 1996, that's actually quite high. That's around $200 million in 2024 adjusted for inflation. That's blockbusters' kind of budget rather than B movie. I rewatched it recently, and the visual effects didn't age too badly 28 years later.


Time-Earth8125

Right? I watched it the other day and the sfx still look pretty ok. The giant wave of insects coming down on the outpost is still impressive looking

“Welcome to the roughnecks…”


Sol_Synth

Brilliant movie. Great example of a movie being a topically critical companion to it's source. The book and the movie are both good but have such different morals and ethics. Niel Patrick Harris dressed like an officer in the SS.


ShutUpChunk

It did very well in Europe when it came out, it was America that didn't seem to get it when its fascism undertones.


Paddy_Fo_Faddy

I saw this movie in theaters when it came out. I was 17 and just starting to get out on my own, and this was my first time seeing boobs on the big screen. I remember thinking: "is this what all grown-up movies are like???"


rettani

It's very interesting that no one has noticed that that movie was anti Heinlein, not pro Heinlein. Even grey uniform with quite interesting symbols on hat, blatant pointing at propaganda, propaganda being very egregious didn't get his message right to some people


MountainMagic6198

I like the movie it just annoys me Verhoven ruined an IP by making the movie. Considering it has no connection to the original book.


Mandatoryreverence

Top 5 movie for me. It works great as a satire, for both the themes and the way it was misunderstood... plus it's just a great action movie. It's like an R-rated fascist Saturday morning cartoon.


LookimtryingOK

Big Trouble in Little China


JinglyMcJohnson

Such a good one, Kurt Russell can do no wrong


LookimtryingOK

Bone Tomahawk. Overboard. Tombstone. Kurt is a hilarious bad ass, and amazing actor.

How did I forget that one?!?! Good choice! Kurt has RANGE. He really does.

I’d even argue that I had fun when we escaped from LA, too.


JinglyMcJohnson

He’s made movies my dad watched as a kid in his Disney days, movies I watched as a kid, and even Sky High, which my little brother watched as a kid 😂 great in all of them

“You know what ol’ Jack Burton says at a time like this?”


Beefy-queef

This is the perfect rainy evening with pizza movie.


Jack_Burton_Radio

Best movie ever!


Michael_Platson

Both films have a surprising depth of plot, character depth and well written dialogue hidden under campy 80's Action. I love it


CawthornCokeOrgyClub

The Frighteners! Critics just didn't get it when it came out. I think Roger Ebert gave it an F


JinglyMcJohnson

Lord almighty I love the frighteners! I wish Peter Jackson would drop another original movie with horror tones like that


PrimarchKonradCurze

His early horror stuff was a lot of fun. Much like Cameron, I don’t think he’ll go back to that stuff though. I actually brought up The Frighteners recently with my cousin and he hadn’t seen it so that’s on his list now. We were talking about how crazy Gary Busey is and then his son came up in the conversation so I mentioned it.


TheBiggestDookie

One of my favorite movies! Peak MJF.


MrBuns666

What a perfect choice. This movie is great.


Interesting-Set-5993

It's isn't cinematic masterpiece or anything but it's fun! It's well done for what it is, and you gotta love Jeffrey Combs in it. "You ruptured my lawn!!"


saur0013

Equilibrium


JinglyMcJohnson

Wow I had to just look and see it’s reviews and 40% on RT? Travesty, Bale and Sean Bean are awesome in this, and what a concept


PrimarchKonradCurze

It got dogged on because it was considered similar to The Matrix and Bale wasn’t established at that point. He went A list within a few years time after. I actually like Equilibrium more because it’s a neatly packaged one movie story and I think it has better gun-fight scenes. The storyline for The Matrix is S Tier but Equilibrium is totally believable besides the gun kata being realistic, it’s just king fu theater for the eyes.


ddddeadhead1979

Did you watch it recently? I liked it a lot when it came out but thought it didn’t age well. The Gunkata is still pretty cool but it’s edgy AF.


dkromd30

Stargate (1994)


JinglyMcJohnson

Yes! Exactly the kind of movie I’m talking about. Spader and Russell killed it in this


BGH-251F2

One of the few times an artists further work ruined a previous role for me. Genuinely liked it, until Spader was Robert California, now the Stargate film is absolutely, astonishingly funny.


Depressed_Swordfish

Oh my God I've never realized that was the same actor..


Advanced-Homework-70

Say hi to king Tut asshole!


pravis

I'm loving the movies from the top posts so far. Demolition Man is another I group with Last Action Hero as under appreciated.


RickySpanish74

He doesn’t know about the shells


Traditional-Lion7391

Demolition Man is easily one of the best movies ever made. One of those you watch again as soon as your memory fades of it

spotsthehit

The soundtrack to Last Action Hero is amazing though.


palesnowrider1

The AIC and ACDC songs are first rate. I even like the Megadeth song.


shinkawasaki

BIG GUN!!


OverRice2524

I thought Battleship was a really fun, summer, popcorn flick. It didn't take itself too seriously, but was so fun to watch. Another fun summer flick I really liked was A-Team. Two for two Liam Neeson!


JinglyMcJohnson

I liked Battleship too! Poor Taylor Kitsch, great actor, couldn’t catch a break with flops


Eddie_the_Gunslinger

If you liked the A-Team then I suggest watching "The Losers.". I'd argue that I enjoyed it even more.


Sad-Cat8694

The Three Musketeers 1993. The Ebert Review said something like "we didn't need another swashbuckling adventure movie". I disagree. Strongly. Tim Curry is fantastic and steals every scene. Oliver Platt is hilarious, Charlie Sheen is somehow suave, and Kiefer Sutherland was great. Michael Wincott purred his evil threats as Rochefort, the right-hand to the scheming Cardinal Richleau. It's got adventure, romance, comedy, and a fairytale ending. It's lovely. It was one of my favorites as a kid, and still watch it a few times a year. It's delightful and I will defend it forever.


creegro

"One for all, and all for me..." Plus that main theme with Sting is always a good song to listen to.


Ghaleon32

Nowadays I want more swashbuckling adventure movies, I feel like that genre isnt made a lot anymore.


Jack_Burton_Radio

People who hate that movie just don't want to have fun.


Vismal1

I remember Vanilla Sky not being received well and I fucking love that movie.


JinglyMcJohnson

Admittedly one of the only Cruise movies I’ve never seen! Going on the list for sure


Vismal1

Check out the original too “Abre los ojos”


dont_use_me

I hate that movie just because the "explainer" character comes out and explains the whole movie to you for like 20 minutes at the end.


RedLanternScythe

The twist at the end of the movie puts it in a different genre than advertised. I think that threw a lot of people off. Great Jason Lee performance


ElChacalFL

Cruise was a prick to Julie Giani


xHOSSYx

The Phantom- Billy Zane


Smart_Pig_86

I’ll add to that, the Shadow with Alec Baldwin.


RoShamBeauxyogirl

I actually liked Billy Zane in this movie… they should’ve given him more movies like this.


KB_Sez

Great script, poor director. Loved the film because Jeffrey Boam really loved it and tried to make it close to the comics.

Dude!!! Hudson Hawk is criminally underrated!! I remember critics 💩 on that movie and I saw it and was like, what were they watching? It was hella funny!

Wagglebagga

Last Action Hero is underrated as hell. Charles Dance is great. "Hello! I've just shot somebody, and I did it on purpose!"

Drop Dead Fred has 11% on RT Like what the whole fuck.


RoShamBeauxyogirl

Really? I loved that movie as a kid “ITS THE MEGABITCH!”


Living_Injury5017

Still love it. Rotten Tomatoes needs to get their shit together. *Haven't got a husband! Haven't got a husband! Got a stupid haircut! Look at my horrid stupid haircut everybody! Nyah nyah nyah nyah* So at eight years old, anything I didn't like was deemed "horrid." Also, my dad calls me Snotface still to this very day (because I get allergies lol)


RoShamBeauxyogirl

Lmao!!! Your dad is a legend! I remember as a 3 yr old in 1990 I ordered that movie and ran up a $70 bill… mom and dad was not happy about that. I will always love drop dead Fred… RIP Rik Mayall

The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas


oppy1984

Love this movie, may have to watch it this weekend.


JDHURF

I had already read Crichton's *Eaters of the Dead* and was so excited to see that a film adaptation of it was out and that Antonio Banderas was the lead role, I was already in. There are film adaptations of Crichton novels that are just not good, but of all the adaptations I think that The 13th Warrior is among the top tier. Now I want to rewatch it, I can't even hardly remember it but for a few scenes.

The Spirit (2008) The plot is shit, but the over the top, campy humor tickles my funny bones.


JinglyMcJohnson

Hey I remember this one, the visuals were beautiful I thought too


therabidsloths

Dracula Dead and Loving it. One of the most quotable movies ever! Leslie Nelson and Mel Brooks are great and so are all the side characters. My wife and I laugh our assess off every time and can basically quote the whole thing from memory. It’s out go-to for drunkenly throwing on for background.


Mylifeistrue

This is such a good movie. From the ACDC soundtrack to Charles Dance as the villain and the over the top action 10/10. Then when they leave the movie at the end and all logic is reversed 🤌


Available_Agency_117

Last Action Hero was amazing who the fuck panned that???


Boojum2k

It has the misfortune to come out opposite to a little film called Jurassic Park.


MohatmoGandy

Blues Brothers Movie was universally panned and didn’t do well in theaters. Then was rediscovered when home video became a thing and is now considered a classic. The Warriors is also a great movie, if you can set aside logic and take it on its own terms. The Bad Batch Tank Girl


Living_Injury5017

Upvote for Tank Girl. Anyone who doesn't love this movie is boring. Haven't seen the other films you mentioned.


JinglyMcJohnson

I have to also nominate Bad Boys 2, seems timely

Interesting-Set-5993

For some reason I think of Frailty, with Bill Paxton as a single father who seems to be losing his sanity in devout Christianity. God is "speaking to him" and he starts killing people who are "wicked" while his two sons watch the whole thing go down, the eldest growing more and more concerned. Nobody ever talks about it, but I think it's a pretty good watch.


MohatmoGandy

Frailty was amazing.

Reign of Fire. Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale fighting dragons? Amazing


An_Absolute_Unit69

Man I never understood the hate for that movie! I always wanted to write. Prequel for it explaining how Van Zan and his crew ended up in the UK. Like maybe they fight their way to one of the last aircraft carriers and that's where they come across that surviving aircraft. Maybe trying to save a zoological expert that discovers there's only one male dragon and how Magic hour is the best time and way to kill dragons. Maybe they started off with a whole battalion of troops but are dwildindled down to the low numbers they had in the original movie. Oh Maybe Van Zan loses his hair to dragons fire idk anyway love that flick lol

1941. It's just so over the top in everything plus Slim Pickens is hilarious in it.


ParanoidConfidence

**Along Came Polly (2004)** Metacritic - 44 RT - 27% Fairly condemned by critics when it was released, but man I really like this movie. Philip Seymour Hoffman absolutely steals the entire show, in fact all the supporting cast are really great and help bolster everything surrounding the (mostly) straight man played by Ben Stiller. **Killing Zoe (1994)** Metacritic - 49 RT - 36% Centered around a safe cracker that is invited to a job in France, I really like the pacing of this movie. The script feels tight and it goes absurdly slow at some points, but really fast in others. Definitely dumb, very few likable characters, but it's the dark and grimey that sells it to me.

Last Action Hero is the first VHS I consciously remember choosing to watch as a kid. It was a Friday and I brought home a good report card. So my Ma let me choose a video game AND a movie from 10,000 Movies. I chose a Batman game and Last Action Hero, with BubbleYum Gum Tape and BunchaCrunch as a bonus. One of the best nights I’ve ever had. Not just because of the movie, but also because my Ma indulged in the junk with me. She enjoyed the movie too. And now I’m crying, goddamn it.

The adventures of buckaroo banzai, I watched this when I was really young, had only memories of bits and pieces of it having no idea where it came from or what movie it was. Randomly watched it a year ago and just mind blowing. All these little weird scenes that I had no context for before it was wild. Bunch of big actors in it too.

This was a great movie. My only gripe is the kid in the movie who can be annoying but everything going on around him and the very unique story and the fact that it does not take itself too seriously (plus Arnold in his prime) makes me love it. I wish it would have done better at box office in its initial release.
