You are the first and ONLY reactor to this movie who has ever said "This car doesn't have positraction." I'm seriously impressed!
I know a bit about cars but dang, she knows A LOT about cars.
I know nothing about cars, I just have to trust whatever they say must be true
@@DAMIENDMILLS 🤣😂🤣
It’s because he’s watched this film before.
@@michaelcastillo3231 Where in this video did he say that he had seen this movie before?
“Oh no, he’s stuck in the mud. His car doesn’t have positraction.”
Perfect quote!
I know a bunch about cars but dang, nothing like what she knows.
My jaw dropped when he mentioned positraction.
@@yt45204 I love Joe Dirt
@@patrickorourke2369 Life's a garden; dig it.
Marisa Tomei took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie.
Well deserved!!
@@AwesomeUSMovies I loved her performance so much when I first watched the movie. Even better she won the Oscar
@@AwesomeUSMovies Marisa Tomei went on to become one of the top actresses since this movie was released (it was her first movie). You will see her again in future reactions.
@@xcellent-records It was not her first movie. She was in the 1991 movie Oscar with Sylvester Stallone as a significant supporting character. Great movie too!!! (No matter what anyone else says!)
She was in a movie called Playing For Keeps in 1986. It's a forgotten movie, low rated, but I like it as well, I just don't love it as I do Oscar.
She was also in the 1984 movie The Flamingo Kid.
Joe Pesci wasn’t acting. That’s just him so he didn’t get a nomination
Marisa (TOE-may) is a stellar actress. That stomping biological clock line kills me every time.
The part that gets me is the "Imagine you're a deer" monologue.
Oh thank you so much for that!
James would really like The Wrestler.
It still makes me laugh out loud every time!
toe-MAY
Marisa Tomei has always been a high-class actress, and in this case her Oscar was more than deserved!
well deserved indeed
Hi James!
30:05 - The reason Vinny could sleep in prison during a riot, is because THAT is the type of noise he was used to sleeping with. Being from New York, it was the "sounds of the country life" that bothered him the most. He wasn't used to those kinds of sounds. While the prison riot was "just like home" to him.
31:23 - Heh. The judge overruled the objection, because it was obvious that Vinny knew something was coming, because of the "well thought out" objection. Hilarious, isn't it?
The chemistry between Pesci and Tomei (pronounced Toe-May) is off the charts in this movie. They had such a great dynamic. You can tell that they both have that "New Yawkah" accent perfectly. Also, Fred Gwynn is most notable for playing Herman Munster in the TV series "The Munsters" back in the 1960s. The show was very popular with both adults and children back in the 1970s, as well.
HEY John, nice to see you back on the comment boards.
Fun fact. Though license was taken for comedic effect, this movie is quoted by lawyers as one of the best portrayals of trial law. Some professors even use it as an example for law students.
That's AWESOME!
Legal Eagle's breakdown is awesome 🤣
@@sikksotoo that's one of the people I was thinking about!
@@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah, the part they focus on is Vinnie’s example of the perfect kind of cross examination.
@@sikksotoo I love that movie with Robert Redford, Debra Winger, and Darryl Hannah.
Fred Gwynne was the actor who played the judge. He is best known as Herman Munster on the '60s TV show "The Munsters."
Lane Smith, the prosecuting attorney, is an actor that I've always liked. If you ever get around to The Mighty Ducks, he's the win-at-all-costs coach of the Ducks' main rivals, the Hawks. Sadly, Lane Smith passed away due to ALS in 2005.
I never watched the munsters, I think it was before my time. I have watched a couple of episodes of the adams family.
The judge too passed away.
@@AwesomeUSMovies I watched reruns on Nick at Nite when I was a kid, but I don't remember that many episodes. It was before my time, too (I grew up as a child of the '90s).
@@AwesomeUSMovies The Munsters was "before" my time too :P But I know it cause as a kid I used to watch Nickelodeon's "Nick at Night" all of the time lol.
Watched Munsters reruns in the 60s and 70s as a kid and loved every episode. Gwynn was previously in a cop series, "Car 54, Where Are You?" with Grandpa Munster, Al Lewis, as his partner. Both played funny men throughout.
You called it on the positraction!
Marissa Tomei
(Prounced TOW-MAY) is an incredible, Academy Award winning actress and Joe Pesci is also a fantastic actor, probably best known for his role in Goodfellas.
Great reaction!!!!
Thanks for the clarification that helps.
Marisa Tomei looks exactly like my wife Except she's alittle younger She's in her 40s now but still beautiful same accent too
That's nice. Now the real question is, can she cook?
You’re the only person I’ve seen call the entire case cracking plot without realizing it. When you explained the car stuck in the mud I was like “OK, he’s gonna catch it in the courtroom”.
NOPE, she knows WAAAYYY more about cars then I do. But it totally made sense
This movie is about BROOKLYN. 😎Four of the actors are from Brooklyn (...including Pesci.) There are even inside Brooklyn jokes, like him sleeping in the jail from the noise...in NYC you hear sirens ALL the time! When I moved to Dallas I MISSED it!😳Marisa is playing the pretty Italian girls I dated and knew from Brooklyn 'back in the day'. I MISS that accent VERY much! She is ON point with EVERYTHING. For this she won an Oscar for her very first movie.
Well deserved Oscar from my view. Thanks for watching!
I saw this as a special on TV with all the F-bombs taken out and thought, "My grandmother would love this." She was a huge fan of courtroom drama and comedy. So I rented it, shrugged at the R-rating and sat there cringing for two hours as my grandmother watched it. However, even with the F-bombs she still loved it and especially the judge who she recognized from The Munsters. This is one of my favorite comedies.
I never watched the munsters, I think it was before my time. I have watched a couple of episodes of the adams family.
@@AwesomeUSMovies"The Munsters" while from the 60's was "the first family of fright" and was so called because they were on air before "The Adams Family" as well(both great shows) and it was before my time as well (born in 1977)… I love the show so much that I have the complete 2 season + 2 movie DVD box set 😉😉
This channel feels so authentic. You really don't know anything about any of the movies you've watched and I love that. Recently discovered your channel and I am hooked! Hopefully you decide to go to 3 uploads a week. I'm looking forward to A Few Good Men!
You should consider joining us over on Patreon. I'm working on some special content for them in the future.
Love your laughter in this one, James! Makes it even funnier for the viewer! Of course, I'm sure I laughed similarly the first time I saw this great movie. Every member of the cast was great in this one!
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude, you are funny
Loved your laugh when Vinny came out of the shack, shooting at the owl!! Too funny!
That was really funny to me, no aiming just bang bang... LOL moron.
No surprise, Marisa Tomei won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in this movie.
As a Brooklynite born and bred, and someone whose sister attended the school with Marisa Tomei, I can testify this is pure, good-old-fashioned Brooklyn-talk.
LOVE THAT!~!!!!
@@AwesomeUSMovies So glad!
Toe-may. Marisa Toe-may. She won the Oscar for this performance.
Well deserved
You solved the case by the middle point man😂.
This was Marisa Tomei's first movie. But television viewers already knew her as the clumsy but adorable Maggie from the first season of the college-based sitcom, "A Different World."
Great reaction! Her last name is pronounced toe may. She won an academy award for her role in this movie
“Vinnie bag o’ donuts”is probably sone kind of family inside joke nickname thing
That's an old NY italian thing. I remember it since I was a kid.
funny nickname
"Deer are cute, but they are invasive" LOL!!! My Gramma had some choice words for the deer who ate her garden.
Yeah I looked it up. Just in Iowa there are 500,000 of them. Our hunting has barely dented the population.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Might that be the point at which to abandon the practice?
@@AwesomeUSMovies that means there are almost as many deer as people in Iowa lolol jk
She does not have an accent like that she actually won the Oscar for best supporting actress in 1993 for this role
Well deserved
This may be my favorite of yours so far. No limit, no control on the laughing. It's like a board game where every square you land you laugh maniacally and I am there to witness every square. This is what good reaction videos are about, bravo!
Thank you so much for watching. It's appreciated
Fred Gwynne, the actor playing the judge was famous for his role in the 60's comedy "The Munsters", before this, he starred in another sitcom "Car 54 Where are you?" starring two bungling NY police officers. One of his "Car 54" costars, Al Lewis joined the "Munsters" cast as vampire Grandpa Munster. He also starred in feature films "Cotton Club", and Stephen King's "Pet Semetary", he was also an accomplished artist and had several gallery openings. The problem was, fans were always attending his premieres wanted to hear him do his Hermann Munster character with the infamous bellowing laugh. This annoyed him because he was a serious artist and it was difficult to shed the character.
I never watched the munsters, I think it was before my time. I have watched a couple of episodes of the adams family.
Picturing Mona Lisa all greased up in an auto body shop just unlocked something 🤦🏼♂️😂🤣
Funny
“Voire Dire” is a process in a courtroom to assess a witness’ level of knowledge about what they are going to say
cool term
@@AwesomeUSMovies It can also be used to determine potential biases and backgrounds during the jury selection process.
Marisa Tomei actually win an academy award for her performance in this movie
awesome!
That is a very infectious laughter you have :) fun reaction. Marisa's accent in this movie is super cute.
the best
"Yeah!"
@@AwesomeUSMovies I love your laugh😃
Marissa Tomei won an academy award for best supporting actress with this performance. She's an accomplished actress and a hottie.😘
well deserved
Best line "If you can't win a case by yourself, you're fucking useless!"
love it
Marisa Tomei (toe-MAY) won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Mona Lisa Vito. There were rumors that it was a mistake, that the award was supposed to have gone to someone else. As we now know, when they accidentally give the award to the wrong party, they correct it immediately (this happened in 2017 when they accidentally gave the Best Picture award to La La Land instead of Moonlight). Tomei really was great in My Cousin Vinny, and it was one of the few times a major award went to a comedic performance. Most actors will tell you that comedy is harder than drama, but it rarely gets recognition in the big award categories. Tomei has turned in other really good performances in The Perez Family, In the Bedroom, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, The Wrestler, The Lincoln Lawyer, and The Big Short. She was also Peter Parker's Aunt May in several Marvel movies.
Thanks for the clarification that helps.
I love this film. The argumentative foreplay between Tomei and Pesci is brilliant writing.
Agreed
My two favorite lines:
"Would you like me to ex-PLAIN?"
and
"They WUH!"
Such a great movie
This is one of the funniest movies ever, and so quotable.
Rumor is that the guy who eats the chicken on one bite got in the movie because the director saw him do that.
funny
1970 I was in Los Angeles and see this judge get on a bus to go somewhere, probably to the studio😊
thus film was actually given a high grade for legal realism
cool
Marissa won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this role
She deserved it!
"Oh yeah, you blend!" I love that line... there's so many great fun moments in this life, its great!
I love this movie, and it makes me laugh so much - but I laughed even more at your reactions to it! I’m so glad to have found your channel!
Thank you so much for watching. You should check out my comedy playlist.
The Sheriff is played by actor Bruce McGill. He was D-Day in "Animal House" the guy who rode the motorcycle in the house. He later starred in the TV show "Rizzoli & Isles". He is a great actor and has been in dozens of movies and TV shows.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Vinny being from the city, the scene with Vinny sleeping in the cell is just so true that when you have sound all the time you just sleep, but a quiet night and one sound wakes you up.
maybe
Best reaction to this movie so far and I've seen a few of them. Marisa is hilarious in this role and accurately portrays your typical Italian woman from New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut at that time.
One of the funniest things about this movie is her going on about her biological clock yet in real life Marisa is actually against marriage
Thanks for watching
You pronounce her last name toe-may. She won an Oscar for best supporting actress for this film.
Well deserved
"They WUH!" 🤣
Her accent is hilarious in this!
The last scene in this movie in the car perfectly set it up for this to be a continuing tv series. I so wish they would have made a show about this.
Marissa's well deserved Oscar winning performance. Love this movie.
Well deserved
Why do I feel as though you have a sister who owns a Chewbacca mask and has a great laugh? 🤣❤
???
@@AwesomeUSMovies look up the "Laughing Chewbacca Mask Lady" video it's HILARIOUS! 🤣❤ On your own, OR...a reaction would be cool too? 😁
czcams.com/video/y3yRv5Jg5TI/video.html
It's 4:04 minutes
My family (especially my kids😂) absolutely LOVE your laugh and great spirit 😇
All the best to you and yours ✌️

She won an Oscar for this movie.
well deserved
Glad you've been having fun on your movie journey, it's always cool to see someone enjoy movies for the first time that I love. Keep it up!
Lots to watch
I had to stop my to do list of things to watch this reaction as I knew you’d crack me up with your reactions. Like I said yesterday, this is my favorite comedy and I knew you would find it hysterical, you didn’t disappoint. I so enjoy rewatching these great movies through new eyes. Your reactions are very genuine and makes your videos more enjoyable than others. I’m not in a financial position to join your patreon, but I will continue to support your CZcams channel.
Glad you enjoyed
I completely agree with you on the best character of this movie, but I just think the chemistry of these two completely ran the movie. They were so good together
He noticed it right after she left he diner. When he realized, he knew she knew more about autos than him (HE worked at her dad's shop), so he brought her in to articulate his realization.
She was amazing on the stand
This is by far my favourite My Cousin Vinny reaction. lol
Well thank you for that!
The "you going huntin?" scene, the "my biological clock" scene, "eggs and grits", the 2nd witness with the pictures, trotter vetting Vito as an expert witness. This whole movie i love it, it was fun to watch with you
Thanks for watching
Marisa Tomei {Toe-May) was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Her Father Gary was a trial lawyer.
Neat thanks
Your insight in movies is unique. I'm sure this has already been said but this is one of the most accurate Courtroom movies ever made.
That's awesome to hear
Her name is Marisa Tomei (Toe May). She won an Oscar for that role.
You are simply the best reaction channel on CZcams! BY FAR! And I have watched them all while recovering from an injury.
Your reactions are real and sincere. You make me laugh with these movies all over again. You got me blubbering all over again with movies that are emotional. You are a regular guy but you are not afraid to show emotions and every reaction is heartfelt and honest. You're not looking at your phone or ruining the movie by over thinking it and talking for an hour and a half.
You seem like a very kind and honest person who is probably a great neighbor, father, son or brother. And thank God you stay completely away from making political comments.
I can't wait for your next reaction my friend! ✌
Thank you so much for the comments. but... I haven't watched Good Will Hunting.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Sorry. I corrected it above. I can't remember which movie it was but you got emotional and that got me tearing up as well. LOL
You would love Good Will Hunting by the way. It had some of the best acting in it.
I remember now. It was your reaction to Planes Trains and Automobiles 🚘 🤣 It was when you saw Neil Page (Steve Martin) find Del Griffith (John Candy) still waiting by himself in the train station because he didn't have a home.
You are the best my friend.
Knew you would love this one. It's one movie I will stop and watch anytime I see it on TV.
Loved it!
the two boys riding bikes on the square got their roles just because they were there. they were playing when they were setting up to film and were asked if they wanted to be in a film
funny
This film is always great for a laugh. I love the prison cell scene when Vinny first meets his cousin and his friend. The absolute misunderstanding between Vinny and the friend is so great and well written. I also love the whole city folk vs small town country folk story being told here, as well as the professional vs unprofessional conflict between Vinny and the judge. Finally, Marisa Tomei as Mona Lisa Vitto is just perfect.
Deer are also technically the #1 deadliest animal in the U.S. due to all the fatal car crashes they cause. So I agree, the population needs to be controlled and I respect responsible hunters for helping with that. I just hope for all the dear to have good lives free in the wild and when their time comes it's as quick and painless as possible and all their meat is used for food.
Oh good point, I've had several accidents with them.
Marisa Tomei steals every scene she is in
She was fantastic
I know Awesome Movies that you might not have had many channels growing up, but the Judge, Fred Gwynne. Was Herman Munster from the Munsters. Unfortunately he died about a year after this movie. Making it the last in theatre movie he made.
Sorry that was a bit before my time. I watched The Adams Family a few times.
It’s pronounced toe-may. She won the Oscar for this role . 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome, she deserved it
Awesome, she deserved it
“Bushes”
Love this movie.
Excellent video again James
Thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed the movie. Law schools use this movie all the time because it is a pretty accurate portrayal of criminal procedure. This film is classic.
That's a cool fact!
Your laughter is contagious.
Well, look who caught the key piece of evidence! 😂
She was amazing right
@@AwesomeUSMovies Haha, I meant you noticing the positraction!
ALSO! Awesome and congrats. TWO PEOPLE! We should start a bingo/pool on how many years of this channel it will take before you know a dozen names in a movie :D
I love this movie. Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for this role.
Well deserved
This movie and *12 Angry Men* (1954) are used as examples in law schools. One for trial function and one for jury function. 12 Angry Men is also used as an example of excellent film making in film schools.
The original "12 Angry Men" is one of the best movies ever made, IMO.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Marissa Toe-May. Very versatile actress and quite skilled in multiple accents, although Hollywood troped her and mainly had her do latino/New York accents.
It's all presented as a comedy, but this is actually one of the best portrayals in film of the actual law of trial practice.
James, this movie is very sentimental to me and most of my friends never know what I’m talking about. I have to say your reaction is how exactly most people should take this movie. I am so grateful you appreciate this film and hope that this video will help more people discover it. Thank you
Just upvoted because you recognized two of the cast. Great work. I love your reviews.
Thanks for that!
Marissa Tomei won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for this role
Well deserved
Marisa Tomei [toe-may] is an actress of great range. I recommend two of her films: "Only You", a romantic comedy, and "Untamed Heart", a powerful drama. Both are great joys to watch.
Thanks for the clarification that helps.
Mah-rissa Toe-May she won an academy award for this role. Great movie, the judge Fred Gwynne was Herman Munster on the old sitcom The Munsters. Marisa is in the new Spiderman movies and has popped up all over.
I never watched the munsters, I think it was before my time. I have watched a couple of episodes of the adams family.
Hey James, the actor who played the judge, Fred Gwynn is the actor who played the family patriarch, Herman on "The Munsters"
I never watched the munsters, I think it was before my time. I have watched a couple of episodes of the adams family.
@@AwesomeUSMovies The Munsters was pretty similar to "The Addams Family" in most respects, Fred's character was essentially Frankenstein's monster, but with a childlike persona
His wife Lilly, who was played by Yvonne DeCarlo, was essentially the bride of Frankenstein
Grandpa Munster was basically Dracula
Eddie was wolf man
And Marilyn was the only normal human in the family
Marissa Tomei won an Best Supporting Actress Oscar for this film.
Well deserved
I'm new to your channel and have been enjoying your reactions (four so far), but this was definitely the best. I can see from the comments that people have told you about Marissa Tomei winning the Oscar for this role, etc. but I am not seeing any comments regarding the late, great Fred Gwynne, AKA Herman Munster. He's a true icon.
Good info thanks. Glad you're enjoying the content. Hundreds of movies on this channel to enjoy. I also have a 2nd channel with TV shows. Called AwesomeShows
This might be the best film ever. Lol
It's great
Great reaction video, you had me laughing so hard I teared up. Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for best supporting actress for this if I'm not mistaken
Wow she deserved it
@@AwesomeUSMovies just so you know instructors love to show this movie at law school because of how accurate the trial was presented in the movie.
"It's either me or them, You're getting F... one way or the other.."
love that line
When you asked what grounds the Judge had to overrule his objection. It is because the Prosecutor set him up for it. By telling him that he had a surprise the night before, he knew that Vinny would give an elaborate objection and that the Judge knew that Vinny wasn't that versed in the law. By Vinny having such a well thought out objection, it made it look like that he did have prior knowledge of the witness and thus his objection to not having any prior knowledge was invalid.
Oh interesting, thanks
I knew you'd love this movie!
I'm sure it's already on your list but, just in case it's not, you'll also want to watch Liar Liar with Jim Carrey. It's another hilarious legal comedy with Carrey playing a sleazy lawyer who finds himself unable to lie.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
You have an infectious laugh. Even though I've seen the movie a dozen times I found myself laughing along with you.
So great to hear it
This is the best reaction I've seen of this movie! Loved your sense of humor. Great job!
I don't think I saw another one of your reactions where you laugh so much! Great reaction!
IDK, have you watched my comedy playlist?
@ 25:01 that frickin' owl deserved an Oscar nomination. According to the director they got the owl's reaction in a single take. I don't think the scene could have been any more perfect if they'd tried another 1,000 takes.
Marisa Made this movie... She won an oscar for her role in this..
well deserved
Marissa (TOW-MAY) won an Oscar for her portrayal...as Best Supporting Actress. No wonder!!
Well Deserved
And now you know why Marisa won an Oscar for best supporting actress for this movie.
😁😁😁
well deserved
Marisa's last name you pronounce Toe May. I know you would love this one, it's one of my favorites.
Thanks for that!
Here are some great suggestions in various genres that you will not regret!! Overboard (1987), While You Were Sleeping (1995), Return to Me (2000), Pelican Brief (1993), Runaway Jury (2003), Get Smart (2008), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 (2014) and Vol 2 (2017), A Beautiful Mind (2001), Master and Commander (2003), Double Jeopardy (1999), and National Treasure (2004).
Thanks, I've added all these to my list. It's appreciated
Fun fact. Marisa Tomei goes on to play Aunt May in the MCU spiderman movies.
Haven't watched any spiderman stuff yet.
