Natasha is a natural answer to Boris because of the Bullwinkle cartoon where there are two Russian spies... Boris and Natasha.
in other words Natasha is to Boris as Rocky is to Bullwinkle. ;)
I loved that cartoon along with Aesop's Fables. LOL
Before their time.
Boris Badenov is an antagonist character in the 1959-1964 animated series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, so often appearing with his devious accomplice, Natasha Fatale, that the two are usually grouped together, as Boris and Natasha.
(Vaguely Russian accent) Moose and Squirrel!
"Maybe she's sleepy"
Hands down the funniest line of the movie. The way Tom Arnold delivers it as a way to try to explain away something awful that will drive his friend crazy is hilarious to me. 😂😂😂
Two things…First, Jamie Lee Curtis was the actual person hanging from the helicopter. She did this stunt herself on her 35th birthday. Second, the fall during the striptease was real. The look on Arnold’s face was genuine. He was getting up to help her but she just soldiered on & it was so good they left it in.
Yeah that scene was hilarious it reminds me of the phone toss at the end of Scream when Stu got hit by the phone from Billy, that wasn't supposed to happen but Lilllard went with it 😂 Also nice picture 😁
@@MKF30 Or the punch to the ear that Brad Pitt takes in Fight Club.
Gotta love a cast and crew that can roll with it.
@@tommc3622 Lol yeah its funny when actors have to improvise and it looks genuinely convincing.😅
One of the most famous improvisations in a film ever; We're gonna need a bigger boat".
@@ilovefacebookandebay Jaws!
"looks like your situation just got... Harrier" is underrated and deserves more attention lol
And even more clever...the vagueness of whether he was specifically referring to the character of Harry in that...orrrr the jet? ;) Hmm...like a tootsie roll pop...the world may never know. lol
RIP Bill Paxton. You were always great.
Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold are great supporting characters. 😂
Truly 😂🥰♥️🕊️
One other thing, from 1996 Gena Davis stars in a very cool spy-action type movie like this one, called "The Long Kiss Goodnight". But instead of a male...it's a female that kicks ass! It's also a very good movie.
Would love to see these guys reaction to Long Kiss and The Last Boyscout top notch 90s action comedy
Yep, stone classic
True Lies is a masterpiece of the 90s. It warms my heart seeing Zoomers learn about the awesome movies I grew up with.
The greatest effect James Cameron ever pulled off was making Tom Arnold so damn likable in this film.
He was also likeable and hilarious in "Exit Wounds," as was Anthony Anderson. His brief appearance in "Austin Powers, Man Of Mystery," is also likeable.
Its Tom Arnold's best performance, role and movie. Theres a reason he would do anything for James Cameron
Tom is always likable. This story he tells is HILARIOUS.

BTW; Tia Carrere, who played Juno is Hawaiian. She plays a Japanese woman in Wayne's World, as Wayne's girlfriend. She's also plays Nani; Lilo's big sister in Lilo and Stitch. And the woman can sing! She has a great voice. If you ever watched Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm; the song during the end credits is one of hers from her album. I got to mean her once. Wonderful person; truly a joy. I worked for this Casino in Vegas; where a film she was in was being filmed. The others guys I worked with were jealous; as well as impressed, because she kept coming back to me for help when she needed something.
My 16yr old self from the 80's is screaming reading this story right now. Awesome. Lucky man!
Art Malik, the bad guy, was in a 007 movie with Timothy Dalton (the BEST Bond).
He was in “The Jewel in the Crown” and “the Far Pavilions.”
8:00 - A nuke is dropped or fired because the crew deploying it generally don't want to be incinerated, not because it can't be detonated with a simple trigger.
Also, it's pretty impressive seeing guys your age make a connective reference (in real time) to a film from 1964 (Dr Strangelove). Props 👏
I remember when I saw this in the theater and when Harry said the line “You’re fired” and launched the missile with the bad guy and taking out all the bad guys, the entire audience erupted in cheers and clapping. It was great.
In a cartoon series on tv in the sixties there was one called Rocky and Bullwinkle. There were 2 Russian spies named Boris and Natasha. EVERYONE from that era knew that reference
Yes. Need to get secrets from moose and squirrel.
“So far, gentlemen, this is not blowing my skirt up.” Charleton Heston says this in reference to a famous Marilyn Monroe scene in which she is standing above a street grate and the air is blowing her white dress up around her.
5:51 - This was actually an homage to and old James Bond: 007 film which did the whole gun firefight on skis scene first. I believe it was "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" (1969), starring George Lazenby as agent 007, and then again in "For Your Eyes Only" (1981), starring Roger Moore as agent 007.
I love Arnie, seen every thing he has been in, but I think this has to be one of his best, and the humour in it is first class. And Jamie Lee Curtis is also funny in it.
Another Arnold's great comedy movie is Twins (1988). I recommend it.
Jamie Lee Curtis actually slipped while dancing in the hotel room. That was actually a look of concern on Arnold's face.
Jamie jumped right back up and went back to dancing. It looked and worked perfectly
Jamie Lee Curtis actually did do the helicopter stunt herself. Amazing
At one of the awards shows she did her famous scream and was lowered from the rafters with flashing lights, the sound of a helicopter and the undercarriage of a heicopter lowering her to the stage to present the next award I believe for practical special effects.
Some trivia:
This movie was an adaptation of a French comedy from the early 80's "La Totale" from French Director Claude Zidi.
A couple of years later Claude Zidi was in LA for a Foreign Film festival and took the opportunity to make English dubbed VHS of the movie and have them distributed around.
At the time, Arnold's Brother in Law, got the VHS, went home and watched the movie.
He loved it so much that he called his Bro in Law, Arny, who was in search for a comedy movie to make.
He told him to come by his home and watch the movie togheter, Arnold LOVED IT, and said that THIS is the movie that he wanna adapt and play in.
Off course it had to be the "Hollywood" version with more action and dynamism.
So he knows exactly who to call for this, his good ol' Buddy James Cameron.
Arnold knew that Cameron's project to make a Spiderman movie just got plugged, so he had a MASSIVE holes of a couple of months in his schedule.
Arnold invited Cameron over, watced the movie with him and told about his idea, at first James wasn't really into it, but the more Arny was talking about it, te more he was onboard.
So Cameron went and organized a meeting with Claude Zidi, so that they could negotiate for the OG movie rights.
Iirc , Claude Zidi, who loved the idea of someone like Cameron adapting his movie, gave them the rights to it for a Symbolic $ and Negotioated instead a % on the movie's revenues.
Cameron said in an INTW thah despite the Americanisation of the movie, he wanted to keep the Comedic elements and their rythm/beat.
And, it worked, critics where kinda in between with it, but the public was VERY receptive to it and loved it.
It is to this day the ONLY Action Comedy that Cameron ever directed.
"blows my skirt up" is fairly common phrase. I grew up hearing it all the time.
It's odd, I've never heard it other than this movie. I get what it's referring to (MM over the grate), but never that phrase. Just a weird coincidence.
@@chaoticignorant483 Likely a regional phenomenon.
I’d never heard of it before (🇬🇧born) but it immediately made me think of the Marilyn Monroe situation 🥹🥰🥹.
Interesting facts about Arnold. He and his partner, Lue Ferigno were multi millionaires before Arnold starred in his first film.
Using their winnings from body building, they would buy, renovate, and sell properties. Doing most of the work themselves.
I think you will also really enjoy Arnold's movie, "Eraser" (1996), which also stars Vanessa Williams, James Caan, and James Cromwell.
I second this! I grew up with that movie!
My favorite line from this movie is not actually a line per se, it's a sound effect: The "clunk" of the "champaign glasses" in Simon's trailer.
" there's no us you psychopathic bit*h " is our favourite line in my family especially in french. Everytime my brother and I would lose it 😂😂😂
Such good family memories feom the 90's
Thanks guys for this throwback 🥺
😂😂😂
One of my favorite movies. Perfect mix of action, comedy, and cheese.
The Juno character was necessary, plot-wise, because she is why they had that hotel room in the first place so they could surveille her. Then Harry uses it for his fake mission for his wife, but because it was also where his alias, Renquist was staying, the bad guys bust in there to get him.
And she brought the nuclear weapons into the country hidden inside the statues
44:45 Now that is one fast way to get to the chopper.
This may be the most over-the-top movie ever. A favorite!
While some people might have an issue with Tom Arnold due to comments or actions over the years... playing the "bitter divorcee" was PRICELESS because he played it so well, but ALSO because of knowing at the time this came out he was just coming out of a contested divorce with Roseanne Barr. So it is possible SOME of his comments about former lovers just may have been real issues he had to put up with.
Whatever the issues behind the scenes may have been.... when it came to THIS performance, it is still one of the best "side kick characters" ever created.
Boris & Natasha were the recurring spy villains in the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons.
True Lies is one of my all time favorite action movies ever... and you guy's reaction to it is now one of my all time favorite reactions. Y'all crazy! LOL, had me laughing out loud the whole time. 😅
29:05 Yup, every thinks that, then after the bomb goes off they mention Dana and it's like "nope, new arc again!"
23:54 Boris and Natasha were the villains from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Old 60s cartoon.
3 Big Name actors: Arnold, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tom Arnold (Arnold's buddy and fellow spy). BTW, Boris (Badenuff) and Natasha were classic villains to Bullwinkle and Rocky.
Loved you guys reacting to one of my childhood movies!
I actually got to meet Tom Arnold at a convention, and I got to ask him a question about the movie. I asked him if the line he did about the ice cube trays was about his divorce with Roseanne, and he laughed saying yes. 😂
Art Malick is a brilliant baddie too! Bill Paxton is such a scene stealer here, he’s a total crack up.
This movie still ages great because of the limited CG. Almost everything that could have been shot for real was shot for real. They didn’t get some computer geek to create these scenes. Some CG was used to enhance things, but for the most part, what you see is what you get. This was the golden age of action movies, pre Michael Bay.
You two!!! I'm laughing so hard at your commentary during this one. It's precisely why I am hooked on your channel. Always a great time with lots of jokes, silliness and laughter. So very needed these days. Thank you
“Blowing my skirt up” is a reference to the famous Marilyn Monroe picture. It was a phrase that fit his age.
Lethal Weapon is also a good action/comedy you might enjoy.
Cam & Zay coming in with another fantastic movie for a reaction!! You guys never fail to deliver!!
To be fair, a Harlem Globetrotters game can get pretty outrageous.
Fantastic film from back in the day when Jim Cameron wasn't such a miserable bastard. ps. The miniature effects on that bridge destruction scene are still so damn good.
45:08 "Here's your pizza, with a nice big order of wings!"
I'll see myself out now....
You omitted one of Jamie's best lines - "I married Rambo!"
One of the funniest romantic action comedy movies ever made!
There were talks of a Sequel, but it was cancelled due to the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.
A TV series based on the movie was released on CBS in March 2023, but it was cancelled due to low ratings as well as the SAG AFTRA strike.
Next time I have a midlife crisis I will just go to a Harlem Globetrotters game.
BORIS AND NATASHA are characters in a comedy who were spies. The movie characters came from the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoon.
This movie is always a good time. Loved it when it came out. Fun fact, if you're driving down to the Florida Keys over that bridge behind the bridge they blew up, you'll see that whole section still missing. They were going to demolish it anyway and worked with the studios to coincide the shot and demolition. Great reaction. My favorite scene was when Arnold fired the missile with the terrorist hanging on it! Bad Ass! I don't do heights, so that whole sequence of the daughter and the Airplane? I can't!
🎉
They demolished a model in the movie. They just used the real bridge gap for stuff after that.
"Your situation just got... harrier."
Nice.
I love seeing two kids reaction of seeing an actual bridge being blown up (a big miniature) instead of CG. That's how it was done back then and its still the best way to get it done.
That wasn't a miniature. That was an actual bridge. It was scheduled for demolition, and the director got permission to film blowing it up.
@@cv8167It's a 1/5th scale model.
Tia Carrere, who plays Juno in this, also plays Nani in the Lilo & Stitch movies/tv show and Cassandra in Wayne’s World.
my teacher's wife :-)
Bill Paxton is so funny, charming. I see him laughing. He's definitely missed. Maybe you guys could watch Near Dark. Three cast members from Aliens. No spoilers.
Not a film I’ve ever heard of so thank you, I’ll check it out - loved Bill and miss him like I knew him 🥹♥️🕊️
"That pelican chose violence." 🤣
😂😂
This movie is like a satire of the James Bond movies. True Lies works like clockwork, it offers you high level action and very good comedy moments, I laughed more in this movie than with the Marvel comedy.
Arnie never disappoints.
lol at “girl, after all this, you gotta tell me what hairspray you use ?”
Made me lol.
With the overhead lights shot out, the fire becomes the only source of light, which would make it a lot more difficult to track motion, as the flickering flames create constantly moving shadows.
“Maybe she’s sleepy”.
Many thanks to Cameron and Isaiah! 🛦 James Cameron did a good job of directing.
True Lies is arguably the greatest action comedy of the 1990s. Its no surprise from James Cameron.
Another fun top-tier combo genre movie: Comedy/Horror
Dale and Tucker vs Evil
4:33 This is the third film in as many years to feature “Por una Cabeza” after _Scent of a Woman_ (1992) and _Schindler’s List_ (1993).
Oh yeah! One of my favorites. When Tom Arnold’s character told the story of the ex taking the ice trays, that really happened to him when de gi or ex from Rosanne Barr. And, Jamie did her own stunt with the helicopter. 👍🏼😎
The horse stunt was done in one shot in elevator.
😂😂😂😅The jokes are hilarious, Cam! 😅”I’ve got a plain (plane)” 😅😂
Opening scene - Arnie was in a dry suit (so he’d be dry and relatively warm).
“Suitcase” mini nukes ARE a thing. They pack a smaller punch, but still…. Also, all nukes don’t need to be airbursts, they’re just more effective that way.
Charlton Heston, wearing an eyepatch, famous for BEN HUR, TEN COMMANDMENTS, PLANET of the APES, and much more.
"Didn't say perfect Arabic for him" ..... because it was German 😂
My most loved movie quote+ response ever
"I married Rambo!" - nope, you married the Terminator 😜🤣
One of my favorite action movies ever made and I'm glad you guys were as blown away by it as I always am. The mix of humor and badass action is perfect but the actors do great jobs all the way. I saw it when I was probably too young and you can bet I rewatched the Jamie Lee Curtis dance more than a few times...
Old guy with the patch eye is Charlton Heston. Huge actor in 50' 60's. Ben Hur and 10 Commandments. try watching those.
@3:49 What a lot of reactors may not seem to understand is that they put “perfect Arabic” under the translation because Harry said “Where’s the john? I have to take a major leak”, which used slang terms. They were letting the audience know that it was translated as precisely as possible, unlike other movies that only used loose translations from one language to another.
I saw that movie in theaters (yes I'm that old) and it was a great experience
“Why is there so much water??”
It is a James Cameron film… 😂
Funfact...the girl.who played the daughter in True Lies also played on of the best ant-heroes on modern TV, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This movie uses a common movie lighting "trick" where they shoot a couple scenes in brighter light than is actually in the story. People have wondered why she didn't recognize him in the hotel room. It was actually much darker than the scene showed. It would be harder for the audience to see what is going on in the scene if they actually plunged the room in darkness. They do a similar thing in the shootout at the pier when Arnold shoots out the overhead lights. It doesn't really get much darker as Zay pointed out, but they keep it more lit so the audience can follow the action.
Thank you for sharing your reaction to one of my favorite films. Bill Paxton was the best at entertainingly playing an obnoxious character. Check him out in "Weird Science," "The Terminator," "Aliens," "Near Dark," Predator 2," and ""Edge Of Tomorrow."
This isn't blowing my skirt up gentlemen. The first time I saw this movie is when it came out. I love this movie. And I use that phrase all the time. The looks I get make it so worth it.
When he put their heads together, the dogs didnt unlearn their training and become tame, they were knocked out
Bill Paxton’s first role. Played in ALIENS, TWISTER, and APPOLO 13
For more action comedy secret spy in a marriage goodness, you have to see the theatrical release of Mr & Mrs Smith. So happy you two loved True Lies, still one of my favorite movies.
@43:53 “You must always protect the McNuggets.” - Cheeseburger Eddy, The Longest Yard 😁
Yeah, that horse be like like "Who are you KIDDIN'..."
Terminator 2
True Lies
Conan the Barbarian
Predator
Favorite Arnold movies for me. This would come on TV sometimes just before Christmas & I'd watch it almost every time. So glad you guys got to watch this. Amazing.
arnold and jamie in their prime.and one of the rare cases where the cover is better than the original. ❤
I cant wait to finally own True Lies on Blu-ray 4K this March. Its finally coming, friends!
15 year old me wore out a VHS copy of this movie rewinding and pausing Jamie Lee's dance scene.
This was James Cameron's take on the James Bond movies, with the idea of featuring the biggest action hero as the James Bond and trying to out-do those movies with even more spectacular stunts and special effects. This movie was released before James Bond returned to the screen in the form of Pierce Brosnan with Goldeneye, as 007 hadn't been in a movie since Licence to Kill at the end of the 1980s. The special effects were a sensation at the time and used ground-breaking digital/CGI effects to enhance and make possible some of the scenes. This was at the time the most expensive movie ever made, a record which James Cameron went on to break himself with Titanic a couple of years later.
Saw this in the theater back in those days. This is the very tippy top of the Schwarzenegger mountain.
10:10 it is so nice to hear someone actually have some idea how suppressors work
In case you were wondering, 45:08 is the moment I subscribed to this channel.
Borris and Natasha were characters from Rocky and Bulwinkle.
My reaction to your reaction: 1) The writers (including joke writers) strike is over so you can stop trying to write your own material.(lol) 2) Cam, your going to make a great Dad as you already have Dad jokes down to a science!! Thanks for doing this great movie! To two ROCK!!
Boris and Natasha were the spies in Rocky & Bullwinkle.
Epic. I watched this with my sister, to introduce her to SciFi. At the end she said, I could buy almost all of it (suspension of disbelief). Except that plane. Such a thing can never exist.
I then had to explain to her the history of the Harrier VTOL jump-jet.
Jamie Lee is such a boss
OOOHHHHH JAMIE LEE OHHH YES
