- We're going back to the salad days of Joel and Ethan Coen's fabled partnership for the duo's unconventional comedy about an unlikely courtship, unwanted house guests, a cigar-chomping pale rider, the best deals on furniture in the Southwestern portion of the United States, and baby stealing! We're revisiting the Coen Brothers' 1987 crime comedy Raising Arizona, starring a young Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, the late M. Emmet Walsh, John Goodman and many more.

"Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."
OK then
😂
HI’s dream at the end of the movie is one of the greatest film scenes ever. It’s so sweet and positive in a genuine way, not the typical Hollywood cheesiness. I tear up a bit whenever I see it.
Wonderful
The old guy with the dead pan delivery while he's getting robbed : " Son, do you know you got a panty on your head ? "
The Coens are two of the most creative Filmmakers and they make it always look so easy. It was a pleasure growing up with their movies💗
As an Arizonian, and not an American, this movie is just a documentary
I think Moonstruck could also be his first classic role, especially with his hand loss speech
My fav Coen Brothers film. Watched it over and over when I actually moved to Tempe, AZ for a large portion of my childhood.
When William Forsyth has the right direction, he is a fantastic actor
I really loved the yodeling track sang over the opening credits…This was SUCH a bright Wonderul film!
Love this movie! It's so underrated. I'd love to see another Nic Cage/Coen brothers flick someday
When my children were very young I might have been known to occasionally use the phrase " They had Yodas 'n' shit on 'em!" in reference to jammies.
This movie definetely has the best chase scene of all time.
Was outrageously different when it came out.
I love him! I love him so much!
Thank you very much for this trip down memory lane. Great, great movie.
The first time I ever heard that line from the old man about "which one is it young feller/get down on the ground" was in a Lloyd Banks song.....I never knew where that sample came from until now! Mystery solved! 🔥🔥💪🏾🤣
"Raising Arizona" is one of my all-time favorites, it's an under-appreciated classic and I'm happy you made a video talking about it! I'm less thrilled, though, that you've devoted a large chunk of the video to just describing the plot. Padding a movie review/analysis with descriptions of the story ("This happened, and then this happened, and then this happened...") has always been a huge pet peeve of mine, it is incredibly lazy.
Also, part of your plot summary is wrong, Nathan Arizona never hires Smalls to track down Jr. The bounty hunter finds the baby on his own while tracking the escaped convict brothers and then goes to Nathan telling him he can return the baby at a price higher than was offered, but Nathan turns him down. He never hires him.
"They were jammies! Kids jammies! They had Yoda's an' shit on them!"
Love this movie!!! The camera views of the chasing scene thru the shopping mart always get me.
Classic. Blew me away as a child
Wow - I miss this era of movies...
I love this movie, I thought Nick Cage was absolutely brilliant in this. This movie is in my top ten movies list that I could watch over and over again.😁❤️
Seen it first as a kid in my local cinema, we all loved it, still one of my favorites today.
man died recently and he was my hero so mention M Emmett Walsh was in Blood Simple
Incredible film.
The Coens were so successful because they bypassed executive influences by directing, producing, and editing their own films. They also had the talent of taking overused tropes and turning them on their head.
you forgot M Emmett Walsh
"Cause we just wanna hear the truth."
Well, than, I am telling ya what you want to hear.
"Boy, didn't we just tell you not to do that?"
Yes, sir.
"Okay, then."
90% of the trouble I've been in with family, military, and the law, that's accurately how it went down.
"Well, OK then"
I rented this movie on VHS. A brother of mine - still in college - was dating a Polish student at the university he attended. He and her came by one evening, and after dinner with my wife and child, the four of us sat down in the living room and watched this movie. I'm pretty sure she didn't know what to make of it. I loved it, and still do, but I'll watch just about anything with John Goodman in it.
❤❤❤❤ one of my favorite movies 😊😊😊😊😊I still watch it on cable TV.
I haven't seen this movie in a long time...damn I forgot how much I loved this movie! Great vid as always!
I’m Arizonan born and bred. I first saw this movie in the ‘80s while stationed in Florida but missing the AZ desert. I loved it! I didn’t mind that Arizonans were portrayed as hayseeds, which 95 percent of us are not. I can take a ribbing. It was just good old fashioned fun.
" Does the Pope wear a funny hat?"
Nathan doesn't hire Leonard Smalls. Smalls approaches Nathan to retrieve the baby for a higher fee than what Nathan was offering (and he offers to kick the perpetrators' butts for free). As Smalls reasons: he'll get the boy regardless of whether or not Nathan will pay what the market will bear. If Nathan won't pay, someone else will.
To this day, all I have to do is google the final monologue to break down ugly crying. That's why I love this movie: I'm laughing my ass off and end up having my heart broken
One of my top five favorite movies of all time!
Hollywood needs the old-school auteurs like the Coen Brothers more than ever
If it's the Coen brothers, you're GOING to be headed somewhere. :) They don't pick their cast and crew over false valor, political pressures, nor "flavors of the day". They know what they want, have a SOLID idea of the types of actors, crew members, COLOR PALETTES (yup), costumes, lighting, pacing, music, etc. that they need in order to deliver what they have brewing... and they almost always deliver a knock-out blow.
"Raising Arizona" remains one of my favorite films. And it isn't solely because of Cage (who was awesome as "Herbert", lol). I mean just LOOK at the cast. The ENTIRE cast. Goodman, Hunter, Walsh, and literally EVERY other actor aboard was phenomenal. Same thing in "No Country For Old Men"; everyone gives wonderful Bardem credit for that epic coin-flipping scene, but THE OLD MAN AS THE STORE CLERK WAS CRACKED WICKED GREAT. Subtle, but his performance made the entire thing work. Otherwise, "Chigurh" falls flat.
Love this movie! 🙌 Nick Cage and Holly Hunter did an excellent job and had fantastic chemistry. No other pair could have pulled it off so perfectly.
This was my intro to the Cohens and they rarely ever fail to entertain.
A picture from this movie, featuring Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter, a baby and a gun ended up on the front page of elementary school biology textbook in the early 1990s in Serbia.
ALL OF THEIR MOVIES ARE CLASSICS I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY BAD MOVIES THEY HAVE DONE FROM COMEDIES TO CRIME DRAMAS AND DARK COMEDIES AND UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL 😊
Love this movie. I had a promo sign in my mom's car when i was a kid that said "baby arizona on board" i wonder if its still in the car at the junkyard
Still the 2nd best Coen Bros movie, second only to Miller's Crossing.
Tex Cobb was a kickboxer, boxer and mixed martial artist outside of his film appearances who was known for pithy comments, particularly regarding his world heavyweight championship match against Larry Holmes. Tex could absorb hits and keep going, losing one by knockout.
Thank you Joblo for this video this is one of my favorite Coen Brothers film alongside The Big Lebowski Thanks Joblo you guys are awesome.
Tex Cobbs is one of the most salt of the earth guys to ever exist. Tough as old boots and with the humour to match
I love this film!
A MOVIE THAT IS SO UNDERRATED
CLASSIC when you lived in Georgia and Briarville.....also known as Fairborn, Ohio ;)
Id say Moonstruck was really that moment
Such a great movie. It was full of very subtle smart humor. I live in Az and I will say some parts are kinda like the movie. Not going to say the people are bad. They are not. But they are a little different.
One of the best comedy films of all time, thanks for the interesting history of it 👍
Raising Arizona is easily one of, if not THE, most quotable movie of all time.
Fargo also ranks right up there.
Coeh Brothers at their best
GREAT movie.
Best movie ever
This was a fave movie of mine for a long time 👍 I especially liked how Hi compared working in a factory to prison 😮
I have always felt the biker character, Leonard Smalls, was the physical manifestation of Hi's darker side (that's why they have matching tattoos). Hi had to destroy that part of himself in order to become a better person.
You made one mistake in your film synopsis. Nathan Arizona didn't hire Leonard Smalls to find Nathan Jr. He was convinced Smalls was the one who kidnapped Jr, and was trying to shake him down for the money.
The Coens and Wes Anderson are some of the best directors in the business, in my opinion
Favorite comedy of all time for sure & my favorite movie of all time if you don’t count Lonesome Dove as a movie.
maybe my favorite Saint Nick movie.
This one a classic 😊
"You missed a spot."
Great movie.
Nicolas "Coppola" Cage would be a star regardless. It is a birthright thing combined with talent.
What about, Randy?!
It's a hard world for the little things.
The Bounty Hunter is so recognizable to me. Was he in Ace Ventura?
This makes me realize how much _My Name Is Earl_ & _Raising Hope_ (both great shows) were influenced by _Raising Arizona_. I mean RAISING Hope?!
Hugely!
In 1987-88 (when that sumbitch Reagan was in the white house) I perused the video store in my podunk two-horse town for a movie. We were headed up into the hills to stay at a cabin that had a VHS player (woohoo! our house did not.) The gum-smacking clerk rolled her eyes when she saw my choice. I had no idea what I was getting into, but her reaction and the cover whetted my anticipation. From the beginning the Coens proceeded to blow my 20-something mind. Here were film makers who had evidently thrown out the rule book and were having the goofy time of their lives and somehow hitting homeruns with every scene. So many memorable lines and scenes simultaneously dripping with humor and sincerity. "Nathan Jr. accepts me the way I am and I think you better had too, honey..." Still #1 with Lebowski a close second.
Nicolas Cage looks like a human coyote in this film. I've always wondered if it was intentional or if it's just me.
"Boy, You got a panty on your head!"
love this movie
Yeah
Cobb may have been a pain in the ass, but he made that character
Yeah he was worth the drama
It's true that Phoenix is nothing like the movie portrays but it's still a great movie. Phoenix would be better if it was like the movie 😂
"Turn to the... Right"
This movie corrupted my 11 year old mind back in 1986, thus being directly responsible for my Unpainted Furniture fetish! 😏
Do these balloons blow up into funny little shapes?
Well, no. Not less round’s funny.
👍👍👍🎥
…Hit the deck boy!…
MOONSTRUCK made him a contender.
RAISING ARIZONA IS LIKE A LOONEY TUNES COME TO LOFE
Costner would have been interesting as HI. Not as good, but interesting.
Was Nicolas Cage ever funnier ?
FART
Hit the deck, boy! That Buford's a sly one. Say, that reminds me.
Care to explain why you changed your name to Nathan Arizona?
Simple, would you buy unpainted furniture from Nathan Huffhiens? !
Cage is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. He plays the same part, over and over again. I can't see why the public eats him up.
I don't get the people who thinks this movie is funny. It's just another POS movie made by the Coen Brothers.
Boooooo!
Because taste is subjective, maybe? Everyone's taste differs.
I've binge-watched your entire channel - no regrets! ����
