You missed the most powerful part of the movie when his brother shouts out "RITCHIE!"
Yeah, when everyone mentions la bamba, that scene is the first thing that comes to everyones mind.
When I saw Esai Morales in the latest Mission Impossible movie that scene came to my mind.
When MJ said the acting could've been better when Ritchie passed, I was thinking, "Wait till you see his brother's scream!" Then she edited it out!! 😂
Facts!!!
It's ricki on Boyz n the hood. 😂
Finally someone reviews La Bama. Such an underrated film in my opinion.
Yes, totally! As soon as I saw it *click* *like* *sub*
Love this movie, like you said there's an insane lack of reactions..
Sorry for disturbing your privacy, could you be so kind as to support me by telling her to react to Cheech Marin's movie "Born in East LA"?
@@jonwmeyer11 now she needs to review La Bambi 🦌 😏
I’ve been watching this movie since I was 12 or so. Never gets old
Fun facts; Ritchie's mom played a cameo scene in this movie. She's sitting on the couch as the actress who played her is going around the room with the camera.
Ritchie's family was on set during the duration of filming. During the coin toss scene, Ritchie's little sister runs up to Lou Diamond Phillips crying, saying, "Why did you have to go Ritchie. Why did you have to go"?
You'll be happy to know that Bob did in fact turn his life around when he remarried. This movie helped Ritchie's family get closure. Such a great, but heartbreaking movie.
lol everyone sharing this fact.
I didn't even see the other comments. I just added my own, lol.

You're literally the only person who has reviewed this movie on CZcams thank you. 🙏🏽 You brought justice to the movie that's under the radar unless your Mexican 😂

@@litoavalos1915Born In East LA is a Classic I'd argue it's better than up in smoke .
At only seventeen, so much potential unfortunately wasted by a tragic death. Smh. Rip Ritchie.

Behind the scenes Ritchie's sister was there when he sang LA BAMBA and hugged Lou the actor and whispered in his ear "why did you have to get on that plane Ritchie" look it up
Lou didn’t sing in this movie. Lip sync
His mother was also there.
That's why it's so important to honor Ritchie Valens.
She did that when they filmed the coin toss, not when he lip sync'd the song
So… kinda… the scene where he’s boarding the plane after winning the coin toss and saying “this is the first thing I ever won”… she broke down crying hugged Lou and kept saying why did you have to go Ritchie why did you have to go…
I remember my high school Spanish teacher showed us this movie. He had connections to the director going back to their school days. He was so proud of this movie and was glad to show it to us as part of our Spanish class curriculum.
That's a movie trope called foreshadowing.
He dreams of a plane crash to foreshadow his own death in an airplane. The title The Day the Music Died was a song written by Don McLean about the airplane crash death of 3 of the biggest rising stars of Rock music of the day.
American Pie
You know that actually happened at his elementary school, he just happened to miss school that day
@@MrJoselva his middle school actually and his friend passed during it
Yeah, I dropped in to say this too. Richie's fear of flying and recurring nightmare is a result of a real plane that crashed into his school playground, killing his friend. Richie had missed school that day and had a case of survivor's guilt.

Italy here, i watch this movie when i was 14 on tv, and the scene with the brother and the mom listenig the radio make me fckn cryin' every time. Thanks for reacting at this.
Selena and Ritchie in one day, MJ!!! I wasn't trying to be in a pool of tears tonightttt😭😭
That first song "Out of Lubbock Texas" that's Buddy Holly the man he died with 😢😢😢 a 31:59 s Don McLean in his song American Pie said "the day the music died" and then when he got his convertible the song on the radio was the Big Bopper. The other singer in the plane crash 😭 and it was Waylon Jennings that lost that coin toss.
Slight mistake... Tommy Alsup lost the coin toss to Ritchie. Waylon Jennings willingly gave his seat to the Bopper because he was sick. When Buddy heard, he ribbed Waylon for it, saying "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up." Waylon jokingly fired back, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes." He said those words haunted him for years afterward.
That band playing in mexico is los lobos.also some guitar parts playing throughout the movie in the background is los lobos and carlos santana🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Fantastic band. I haven't heard a lot of their music, but what I have heard is really, really good.
Coming from a Puerto Rican family here in the state of NY, this movie my family and I have seen a million times on tv for the last 37 years and still love it to this day. My parents grew up in the 50s and 60s and this was the type of music they used to listen to. But the real Bob's hurt and jealousy was very much accurate even though he still loved his family very much. Ritchie and Bob's mother Connie actually lived long enough to see this movie come out in 1987 before sadly passing away 3 months after it was released. Bob Morales lived until he was 81 when he also passed in 2018. Even until 2018 Bob still had a tough time talking about when his brother died in a plane crash. But his relatives to this day still talk about Ritchie all the time and reminisce about him and his family. P.S. Bob eventually turned his life around and I think he he became a drug addiction counselor or something in order to help others from going down the same path in his later years.
Sorry for disturbing your privacy, could you be so kind as to support me by telling her to react to Cheech Marin's movie "Born in East LA"?
Sorry for late reply. I actually haven't seen that movie myself. Don't yell at me for that lol.
With honesty, everytime I see when Bob rips off Richie's necklace, I feel like without that necklace, he lost his life. He lost his protection.
I thought the same thing as well
same
La Bamba is the true story of what happened to Ritchie valens in 1959. Everything in this movie was real life
Most of it was. Check out the audio commentary on the dvd. It's very informative.
@@hovz-zo8lf thanks 👍 for letting me know I never listened to the commentary on the DVD it's a good thing his family gave permission to make the movie
Buddy originally chartered the plane for his band who was backing up everyone on the tour. What the movie left out was that their drummer had suffered frostbite in his toes a couple days before from the miserable cold on the bus and had to be left at a hospital. Ritchie, Buddy, and member of the Belmonts would fill in for each other on the drums the last couple nights. As I said, Buddy had chartered the plane for his band, not the headliners. The Big Bopper had the flu and talked bassist Waylon Jennings out of his seat in exchange for using the Bopper's new sleeping bag on the bus. Ritchie had been bugging guitarist Tommy Allsup all night about getting his seat on the plane. Tommy kept turning him down. After the show, as they were loading up in the car to head to the airport, Buddy asked Tommy to go back inside and make sure they hadn't left anything. He saw Ritchie, and once again, he asked about going on the plane. Tommy said fine, we'll flip for it and pulled a 50 cent piece out of his pocket. Ritchie won. This happened in a backstage room at the Surf Ballroom.
If I’m not mistaken, these artists’ deaths is the reason why cops have to inform the deceased’s family of their deaths before they announce it through media.
You are correct. They first heard it over media instead of from the cops. It's how I learned about my sister's murder, since the police were keeping it under wraps for several hours.
@@Stallion386Buddy Holly’s Fiancée had a miscarriage hearing the news on the radio. Now cops inform the families
I remember as a kid I used to listen to the sound track for La Bamba, my mom had the record for La Bamba. Hands down a classic movie.
Fun Fact: The Old Lady you see sitting on the couch at that party where they are recording, she was actually Ritchie and Bob's mom.
Another fun fact: Lou Diamond Phillips originally auditioned for the Role of Bob while Esai Morales had auditioned for the role of Ritchie.
I still have the soundtrack and still listen to it.. my fav movie as a kid I would watch LA Bamba and Christopher Reeves Superman every damn day lol
@@Top10soon oh shit that's what's up
This is my movie!!!! I played this movie nonstop when I was a kid. I love this movie! Lou Diamond Phillips did a great job playing Ritchie Valens RIP 🙏🏾
This is one of my favorites of my childhood. I seen this in 1987. Along with Creepshow:2 & The Lost Boys. With my uncle's and pops. Good times.
" Hey man don't worry pero smells like 🐠 but taste like 🐔 shhhicken " 😂 gets me everytime ... and then MJ's reaction to it 😂 priceless
It’s always the ending that gets me every time.
I
Few ppl realize why American Pie and that plane crash was such a prominent event and later a song...
Because the entire musical, cultural and NATIONAL landscape changes when the clean-cut 'idols' of the 50s burned-out, then the Beatles arrived and with sex, drugs and Vietnam to come, those "innocent" times were gone forever.
As a kid in the late 80s living in Lubbock , tx we always watched la bamba ( 1987 ) and the buddy holly story ( 1978 ) back to back . Ritchie was so young and had just gotten started and buddy had just turned 22 but had put out sooo much music already . Its just such a sad event in music history .
I was a junior in high school when this came out and I went to see it in the theater with my gf. There was a group aof girls maybe a year or two younger sitting behind us. They all cheered anspd applauded when Valens won the coin toss. They didn't have a clue who he was, or even that this was a true story. And they certainly didn't know what was coming.
Wayland Jennings has told the story how before he got on the plane, Holly joked with him "hope your bus freezes up on you." and he replied "yeah, well I hope your damn old plane crashes." And that was the last the he ever said to him and how that has weighed on him the rest of his life.
The policy of waiting until the next of kin are notified is largely a result of this accident. Ritchie's mother did hear about her son's death over the radio. Buddy Holly's pregnant wife found out by seeing it announced on television. She miscarried soon after. That was when they decided to invoke the notification policy.
Rip Buddy holly, Richie Valenz and the Big Bopper
I love this movie too I'm 13 and love old music and just vintage stuff it's cool
Finally! Somebody did this great forgotten movie! Live it! The whole movie is true! Ritchie’s family including his brother bob told a lot of what really happend and they kept the movie true , their home life was not pretty like you usally see in 1950’s culture! Bob actually passed away just a few years ago
41:29 Coin toss was actually true story, whoever won it got on the plane and loser had to ride the bus. Artist that rode the bus survived because of losing the coin toss and told the tell.
I would’ve picked the bus either way, because I ain’t flying in no snowy ass weather
@@christopheralmaguer3310 No way you would have, the bus had broken down twice during that tour in cold below freezing weather. To the point where Richie that is scared of flying said screw it I rather take the plane.
@@igemineye6225 I definitely would have, flying in the snow is a big ass risk! Especially with the guy flying not having much experience. Yeah I’m not doing it ever!
@@igemineye6225anyone with any knowledge of flying isn’t going to go in a small plane in a blizzard. The pilot wasn’t even rated to fly instrument (IFR) in bad weather. That was a death trap from the start.
This is my childhood movie that left a mark on my memory
When my little brother died, I was lost, but I remember my mom's cries to this day. I don't think I'll ever not hear it.
That said, this was a good reaction.
The scene when Bob goes to their mom and she cries hits me hard. I was the one that had to tell my mom when my little brother passed away.
There are like zero reactions to this movie on CZcams. I’m so so glad you’re doing it !!! Such an awesome movie.
I been going to this old 50s style diner and the few time I been there there’s a jukebox and customers play his music to this day
I have a Ritchie Valens record on vinyl and it’s one of my absolute favorites.
I like how you said “why do they always sing ‘We Belong Together’?” and Ritchie made that song 😂
I met the actor who played Richi. I was so happy because that's my #1 movie.
I watched your Selena reaction and was hoping or wishing that you would also do La Bamba. Pleasant surprise to say the least
This is one of those movies I watch every time it's on tv and have watched dozens of times over the last nearly 4 decades. The best music came from the 50's. It's been slow but steady decline since then. They say society is a reflection of the music created. You can even see it when you listen throughout the decades. The 50's being an innocent time. The 60's being that free spirited sex, drugs, love, and peace era. The 70's cocaine and disco... lol. The 80's I don't even know where to start.
The real Ritchie story is same as the movie La Bamba but Ritchie did die on a plane and was so young. For the same year, he died, the music died along with him. R.I.P. Ritchie
He may not have needed that tail, but we did or we wouldn't have gotten La Bamba 😂😂😂
"We Belong Together" is just a classic. What more reason do you need?
That's not true. Robert & Johnny wrote "We Belong Together"
@hovz-zo8lf oh shit, you're right. Wtf? I remember reading a while back that it was his.
I remember they said Richie real mom was in this movie too when he was at the party too
From Bahamas 🇧🇸 such a classic beloved movie 😊❤
This plane crash is the reason that media is not allowed to release any names before family members are notified now. Buddy Holly's wife was pregnant at the time and lost the baby because of the way she found out about him dying. My mom actually passed away on the 50th anniversary of the plane crash we would always watch La Bamba together.
You realize the time period for this movie is the 50’s and people were prejudice back then and even now.
The song he sang with his brother on drums "Oh Boy" was by Buddy Holly who unfortunately died in the same plane crash as Richie
I live in Clear Lake Iowa where their final concert was at the Surf ballroom which is still here. Its still the same as it was back in the day plus still has concerts today. People can go walk out in the field and check out the memorial thats their for them at the plane crash.
Hey MJ You Got To Remember This Was Back In The 50s. Racism Was Huge Back Then.
La bamba was one of my favorite movies growing up. You should react to mi familia next. Highly recommend
J Lo did her thing in that one lol
I liked Mi Familia in general, but for some reason Jimmy Smits didn't fit in well in that role. Esai Morales' portrayal as Bob in La Bamba was pretty spot on.
fun fact they filmed this movie in my town Hollister:) on Southside road. love watching this movie so much!!
I grew up & live about a mile from his mom's house. That hill in the background looks like Hansen Hill in Pacoima.
The song at the beginning is called "Sleep Walk".
Lowrider oldies list the artists as SantoS and Johnny. So mexican. I actually heard it on 50's gold today.
Waylon Jennings. He was a back up musician for Buddy Holly. He lost the coin toss to Ritchie. Yes, it haunted him the rest of his life. He went in to become a county super star in his musical career going solo. Buddy was trying to restart his career, Ritchie and J.P. were just beginning theirs.
I remember Waylon Jennings on the episode of Behind The Music back in 1998 when VH1 did the episode on The day the music died when Buddy told him I see you are not taking the plane ride up and just play talking Buddy said well I hope your bus freezes over and Waylon said well I hope your plane crashes.
Tommy Allsup lost the coin toss. Jennings gave up his seat to the Big Bopper, because the Bopper had been sick and didn't want to be on the long cold bus ride.
The song in the beginning is sleepwalk by santo and johnny
Finally someone reacted to this movie!!!
Fun fact the actress who plays Bob's gf Rosie in this movie also played the bomb specialist who argues with Carter in the movie Rush Hour.
There's a distorted but listenable recording from the school when the Pacoima air crash happened (the crash that haunts Ritchie in the movie). Pretty horrifying artifact.
The name of the song is called sleepwalker
2:15 the songs called “Sleepwalker” by Tony and Santos I believe . No lyrics just beauty
This is quote will always be a reminder
"HEROES GET REMEMBERED BUT LEGENDS NEVER DIE"
Lou Diamond did Filipinos justice for the Hollywood scene
This was my favorite movie at age 7. You should watch the Buddy Holly story about the young man that was sitting in the front seat of the plane. They have a statue of him up in Lubbock Texas
Great movie sad he died and the coin toss was true unfortunately 😔 and the dude who lost the coin toss to him talked about how sad it made him and he regretted it until he passed not too long ago
Looked for Bamba reviews for the longest, never seen a single one till now
My new favorite gorgeous CZcamsr 😍 reviewing a classic
The singer in band at 28:40 Is the voice who sings in this movie as Ritchie Valens.
My whole life people have told me i look like the actor Lou Diamond Phillips. People would call me La Bamba or scream Ritchie to me😆
You've noticed the music producer... that guys has been in a ton of film including the Matrix, his name is Joe Pantoliano, other films he was in are Risky Business, Eddie and the Cruisers, The Fugitive, and US Marshals.
DareDevil too
The Goonies also
Eddie and the cruisers 1 and 2 are my favorites. I just watched it Saturday
@@andreadeamon6419 the movie soundtrack is soooo under rated. One of my faves I still play it once in a while 😀
@@valleya6114 same with Eddie and the cruisers 1 and 2.
When Ritchie was a kid there was a plane crash above his school that killed kids in the playground. He survived because he was at a family member’s funeral. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1957_Pacoima_mid-air_collision
Richie was inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame in 2001
I'm so glad to have found someone who's reacted to this movie
There is a picture of Lou Diamond Phillips instead of Richie Valens at the crash site in Clear Lake Iowa.
I blame a.i.
Im not Hispanic but like the movie and the music at the beginning that u didn't know is called sleepwalk by Johnny and Santos
You're right people fall in love who they love and they shouldn't be criticized .. there's not enough love anyway let love live..and yes I'm thinking of chorizo & eggs...so good 👍... great movie reaction
I just googled the coin toss, and it is true. Tommy Allsup, the guy who loss the toss, said that coin toss saved his life.
Rest in peace to Ritchie Valens
We need more Latinas like supporting the culture for Latinos in general, thank you mija ❤🇵🇷🇲🇽🇩🇴🇨🇺
They did flip a coin, but it was actually at the surf ballroom. You should go through and read the autopsy reports. It will leave with a gut punch feeling.
I love how you down for the Hispanic heritage.....much respect to you Mamacita
I already knew Ritchie Valens died on the plane with Buddy Holly but I still teared up at the end when I saw this on cable. I loved this movie and thought Esai Morales (Bob) should have won an Oscar that year or a nomination.
Another good movie with Esai is the original "Bad Boys" with Morales and Sean Penn! I know crime fiction is not your favorite genre so I warn you it does takie place in a juvenile lock up!
Subscribed because you reacted to this! ❤
Love this movie and very very few if any reactors have done La Bamba. Happy you did ❤
I enjoy all your videos, you have the best laugh. 😊
Esos pinches carros valen un vergo en estos días más que los actuales
I really liked your reaction to the movie looking forward to seeing more
I wish you included the part when bob yelled richie's name.
The first Chicano to have a number #1 hit on Billboad…
The actor who played Ritchie was actually on Masked Singer not too long ago, and he sang La Mamba as his final song ^^
The coin toss did happen but not quite how the movie depicted it. Richie approached Buddy Holly's guitarist Tommy Alsup at the Surf Ballroom about having his seat on the plane. Tommy decided to flip for it there. Clearly, the movie moved it to the airfield to be a little more dramatic.
41:32 the cointoss was true but it didn't happen as depicted in the movie. In reality it happened back at the concert venue in the hallway between Ritchie & Tommy. The flight was booked by Buddy Holly for him & his 2 bandmates, Tommy & Waylon Jennings (Google him if the name doesnt sound familiar). The Big Bopper got Waylon to give up the seat for him & Ritchie wanted Tommy's seat but Tommy initially said no & it wasnt until the very end of the night when Ritchie asked him one more time that Tommy agreed to a cointoss. Ritchie won & Tommy let him have his seat. So there was many times where Ritchie could have avoided that fateful flight & lived. Sad. Theres another story going around about that night from Dion, another performer on that tour thats a complete lie that he came up with fairly recently. Whereas Tommy Allsup told the same story since 1959 up until his death only a couple of years ago.
holy shit .. i was gonna recommend this on the friday movie and i searched it before i looked dumb 😂 YOOO you got bangers on this channel wth
Didn't know about "the day that music died".. 3 iconic artists passing in 1 tragedy 😢
we hope you are coming back soon. We miss you.
Awww ): I’m trying love I swear!!!
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for this reaction..Loved It!!!
Anyone catch Ritchie’s ghost in the window at the welcome home party??
Great reaction video thank you
Theyre picking apricots. That whole scene in Northern California where they're picking apricots is where I was born and raised. It's Hollister CA. Not the clothing company but the town. The Director Luis Valdez is from San Juan Bautista about 7 miles outside of Hollister. Many scenes are shot all around these areas. Great movie.
R.I.P. Elizabeth Pena (1959-2014)
My father told me that's actually the closest to the right reaction to the news when it broke about the crash. So many blank shock expressions that day
I love this movie. Part of it was filmed at me elementary school in Cali. And they gave us a early movie premiere
