It's Action Cop Jack Slater and that kid that I think was called Danny in: The Last Action Hero! That Arnie comedy that had some interesting ideas but didn't really work!
This video's title looked like it said these were the last action hero figures. Even though it was referring to _The Last Action Hero_ the movie. The _Terminator_ movies are actually a warning to mankind. We need Mega Man to help combat the evil machines.
Excellent movie! Charles Dance as Benedict stole the show..."Hello... I've just shot somebody, I did it on purpose... I said, I have murdered a man, and I wan't to confess!".
Last Action Hero was a great film. Fight me Ashens. It seems that everyone that remembers this movie as bad either only knows it by proxy or doesn't remember it properly. I'd kill to have movies take creative risks and think outside the box like this film did. It was so freaking entertaining
Hell of a lot more entertaining than the endless parade of sequels prequels reboots remakes and "reimaginings" we've got going on today. Sadly creativity isn't profitable, so the big money buys up rights to proven success and decides to squeeze them for as much cash as they can, leaving the intellectual property and those associated with minimal dignity in the process.
Last Action Hero was really fucking meta. The best thing about it was how the movie poked fun at the rivalry between Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Also we got to hear Arnold say _"rubber baby buggy bumpers."_
Honestly, I love the movie. I think a lot of the parody stuff works really well and that it was very much ahead of it's time with the whole self aware meta thing. Also it was the first Schwarzenegger movie I ever saw in the theater. Don't think I had any of the figures though.
toomanyaccounts Is the screenplay supposed to be better or worse? I might look into it, but I don't really see that affecting my enjoyment of the film.
Charles Dance steals this movie. He’s one of the greatest castings for a villain I’ve seen in forever. His dialogue is set up perfectly for his British snark.
It was average at best and was considered a massive disappointment at its release. It just has a big cult following. I like it too but it's far from a masterpiece. It's like the opposite of the phantom menace where it was actually quite well received when it came out but then a little down the line people realised it was shit.
Didn't the axe dude wear a yellow rain jacket.also I wonder if they did a kindergarten cop action figure line..."are these your lunches? So your eating other peoples lunches?!?! STOP IT!!!"
I personally enjoy Last Action Hero, it's not perfect but I love it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't. Plus it was released in 1993 the year I was born 😎👍
I vividly remember seeing Jurassic Park and Last Action Hero in the cinema back when I were a nipper. I still own all these figures along with the 2 cars. I love the film and the toys! Cracking video!
This was one of my favorite films as a child. I had the three Jack Slater figures wearing red. I also had the Danny figure and the car. I can't remember what the car did. But I remember having a great time with it. I will still watch the movie when its showing on TV. Its got some great scenes and a great soundtrack. Thanks for posting this I'd forgotten about these figures.
The presence of Whiskers the cat is explained. Danny is angered by the fact that the in-movie universe has no base in actual reality. He expresses his displeasure by stating that Whiskers was a character in a single Jack Slater spin-off aimed at younger audiences, and yet, an eternal part of things now, to the point where absolutely no one questions the presence of an animated anthropormorphic cat detective with the voice of Danny De Vito. I think it was a nod towards movie franchises that either retcon previous volumes, or refuse to acknowledge their existence at all, such as Friday the 13th. Once its been wriiten in, it is in there forever regardless of how disliked it is.
I had a couple of those toys when I was a kid. I had the "Dynamite" Jack Slater and the "Axe Swingin'"Ripper. I really enjoyed "Last Action Hero", such a fun movie.
I love this film. Had the Benedict figure as a child. His briefcase had a sticker sheet with the various eyes he had in the film you could pop over the red eye. Surprisingly I think I still had most of the stickers when I got rid of it
Fun Facts: Last Action Hero is a chunky 90s action and comedy movie. Tom Noonan was Frankenstein's Monster in The Monster Squad, which was also written by Shane Black. Charles Dance is terrific. If he snaps his fingers again, sometime tomorrow you'll emerge out of several canine recta. Questions? I love that scene.
One of the best things to come out of this was a song that Megadeth made for the song called “Angry Again” it basically carries the soundtrack as it’s hit and miss, especially the song AC/DC made for it But check out Angry Again because it’s genuinely a great song
Stuart, I still have not watched the movie I pledged $40 to help you create. Does that make me a bar person??? I still love you! I haven’t looked you up for over a year and you randomly came into my mind and, lo and behold, you’re still making these awesome videos!
Not I, for it was the year that I was spewed forth from my mother's loins into this cold and uncaring world....but then I got a Gameboy Color five years later and everything was better.
haha! same except it was the NES for me, and I only had the super mario bros/duck hunt combo cartridge so I never saw anyone change cartridge thus leading me to believe those games were build in and you couldn't get any others! to this day I only have that one combo cartridge!
The thing with not using female characters is that toy companies didn't (and still don't) believe that girls buy action figures or that boys would want a female character figure.
To be perfectly fair, I've worked in a toy store for years and things like girl power rangers would warm pegs and end up clearanced 90 % of the time. Relatively recently, Bandai has pretty much stopped making those because they just didnt sell. There are exceptions though, two years ago there was this little girl who loved power rangers and having to tell her that the girl rangers toys didnt actually exist broke my heart a little (parents had been scouring toy stores all over town trying to find them)
GeekZolda - International That relates more to the fact that Power Rangers doesn't have the hype it used to and has more or less become a nostalgia thing for people that grew up in 90's/early 20's when the show first came out. I wouldn't be surprised if that girl only even knew about Power Rangers because her parents showed her them.
Both of those are mostly true. Young girls for the most part don't want action figures (they want soft play, costumes, role playing toys like kitchens and dolls) And for the most part young boys do not want a female character because they don't fit in the ultra masculine scenarios that usually surround action figure play (Unless for the damsel in distress)
I used Power Rangers as an exemple, but it is true for all boy's lines. The only exception I've noted is April from the recent Nickelodeon TMNT show wasnt exactly a hot item, but she sold reasonably well. All other "girl action figures" just dont sell. Arcee from transformers, wonder woman, Baroness from GI Joe all ended up shelfwarming hard. (also I have to point out you're wrong : Power Rangers is a very hot property among kids, toys come out every year, and every year they sell really well. There's a new series every year, keeping the show fresh to young audiences.)
However, I would say that "roleplay toys like kitchens and supermarket stalls are for girls" is also genrally wrong. Roleplay toys, in my experience appeal to boys & girls evenly, but I've noticed some parents are a bit wary of buying a kitchen for a boy for whatever reason, I always tried to reassure them that "yes, kids love cooking too !" with the occasional "A lot of famous chefs are male, right ?". Parents can be pretty silly. I've had a few who seemed legitimately concerned about their daughter because "they want hot wheels for christmas"... Just let em play what they want ! come on now.
I've got new, super-bassey, speakers that I haven't got set up just right, and the "Tywin Lannister" moment slightly scared the shit out of me. Well done.
I will forever defend this movie, I think it was awesome.
metfan4l
Agreed.
This video's title looked like it said these were the last action hero figures.
Even though it was referring to _The Last Action Hero_ the movie.
The _Terminator_ movies are actually a warning to mankind.
We need Mega Man to help combat the evil machines.
same here dude. I thought it was a damn fun film. especially the meta part where slater meets arnie
Preach, brother! And the Hamlet skit is STILL amuzing.
Me too 👍
The colouring of that heavy weaponry makes it look like a product made by CAT. 😂
Arnie was making a pretty controversial pose in the background there for a while.
well, he's austrian, so...
@@stefanforrer2573💀
I loved Last Action Hero.. the best line was "I JUST SHOT SOMEBODY AND I /WANT/ TO CONFESS!" with people yelling to shut up
same! last time i quoted this line was literally earlier today
I always whip out the "180° correction" whenever someone goes spitting out that 360° bs lol
TRUST ME...
This film is amazing but everyone makes it out to be bad
New york was and still is like that at times. Lmaoo
Excellent movie! Charles Dance as Benedict stole the show..."Hello... I've just shot somebody, I did it on purpose... I said, I have murdered a man, and I wan't to confess!".
Dave Lennon-Copeland Hey buddy! Shut up down there!
It is really funny scene, but the movie still is not very good.
Vesa Laine I suppose it's a matter of a movie being objectively poor but being entertaining and unique enough to act as a cult classic.
It was a great film. I loved it.
Don't knock Kindergarden Cop, it was awesome. Not many children movies end up with the villain being pistol executed in a shower.
The Hamlet parody scene is still one of my favorites. "Something is rotten in the state of Dennmark and Hamlet is taking out the trash. "
To be or not to be.... Not to be.
Shakespeare done right. Ahhnold and Picard shoulda played the patriarchs of the Montagues and Capulets in an action movie version of Romeo & Juliet.
That's pretty much every Action fanboi here
"Dull movie? Throw in a brawny Badass and give him a shitload of guns"
"No one's wishing _this_ sweet prince _good night._ "
I am just realizing this series is really just Stuart Ashens playing a 6-year-old showing off his toys, only in an adult body.
Last Action Hero was a great film. Fight me Ashens. It seems that everyone that remembers this movie as bad either only knows it by proxy or doesn't remember it properly. I'd kill to have movies take creative risks and think outside the box like this film did. It was so freaking entertaining
this.all of it
Hell of a lot more entertaining than the endless parade of sequels prequels reboots remakes and "reimaginings" we've got going on today.

MrTrojis personally I didn't watch it on account of the whole not being born for another 6 years thing, what did i miss?
The most underrated movie of all time. And Arnold's best comedy by far .
I prefer "Jingle All the Way" personally.
Criminally under-rated film. One of my all time favourites!
I believe The Last Action Hero is sadly underrated. I really enjoyed that movie.
"I just shot someone, I did it on purpose. I said I have just killed a man and I want to confess"
Ass Burgers Charles dance is awesome
Hey, shut up down there.
LOL
Eyy shaddup down there!
If i did a 360 I would turn completely around and end up back where I started!
In awe at the size of this lad, absolute unit

Last Action Hero was really fucking meta. The best thing about it was how the movie poked fun at the rivalry between Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Also we got to hear Arnold say _"rubber baby buggy bumpers."_
Without the axe that bad guys standard pose looks like he is draining a rather generous trouser snake.
Honestly, I love the movie. I think a lot of the parody stuff works really well and that it was very much ahead of it's time with the whole self aware meta thing. Also it was the first Schwarzenegger movie I ever saw in the theater. Don't think I had any of the figures though.
kidthorazine : I liked the movie as well. Really interesting plot and gags.
read the original screenplay before they changed it to a comedy film
toomanyaccounts Is the screenplay supposed to be better or worse? I might look into it, but I don't really see that affecting my enjoyment of the film.
Actually, come to think of it, I totally did have that Arnie in a trench coat figure.
Well I was jumpscared by game of thrones
The Lannisters send their regards...
Honestly, the chainsaw surprised me more. I literally had more of a reaction to that for some reason. Idk, maybe FNAF has dulled my senses.
Nearly gave me a bloody heart attack it did. The last thing I need is to choke to death on some beef-mince shortcrust nonsense.
Victor Wolf same
Came down here into the comments the moment it happened to make sure I wasn't the only one.
frankly, it is one of my favourite movies.also, the benedict figure has the glass eye on the wrong side.
I absolutely love Last Action Hero, I even had the Burger King cups.
I was so upset when mine broke...
Clay3613 One of my cups broke too, the one with the truck destroying a wall. The other ones got lost in time
Charles Dance steals this movie. He’s one of the greatest castings for a villain I’ve seen in forever. His dialogue is set up perfectly for his British snark.
" TYYWIN LANNISTER!! " Omg that was amazing XD
Really loved this movie... super underrated
Any Schwarzenegger movie is overrated.
"i liked it so it has to be good"
Wasn't a masterpiece, but it was a funny entertaining movie, I can't see why it was so hated
*notices Exploding Fish*
yeah this was an awesome movie!!
I heard a rumour that Stuart hasn't updated his website for almost 2 years.
Now the videos just say "ASHENS" in the beginning, no ".COM" suffix. It just seems wrong not to have the suffix.
Bloody hell, the sudden appearance of Tywin Lannister scared the shit out of me.
"Angry about things". Is that what you call it across the pond?
that would make his character seem more evil... if instead of an axe he was kidnapping kids and having a two handed wank
Villain action figure..."Now with super wanking action"!
I loved the Last Action Hero, but never saw the action figures. This video made my day, thank you.
Arnold figure with palm down raised arm? that could be misconstrued.
Fokin, heil Hydra I guess
One of my favourite movies. Unique and ahead of it's time, great performances and it looks and sounds fantastic!
It's not that good?! It's a fuckin' masterpiece mate!
Hairy Cornflake hello? I’ve just shot someone, I did it on purpose and I want to confess!
No.
Offensive Username yes
It was average at best and was considered a massive disappointment at its release. It just has a big cult following. I like it too but it's far from a masterpiece.
It's like the opposite of the phantom menace where it was actually quite well received when it came out but then a little down the line people realised it was shit.
These reviews of old 80s-90s figures are just some of my favorite types of Ashens videos!
i liked that movie as a kid nostalgia, love how the liquid metal terminator walks past in a scene
Didn't the axe dude wear a yellow rain jacket.also I wonder if they did a kindergarten cop action figure line..."are these your lunches? So your eating other peoples lunches?!?! STOP IT!!!"
PUT THA COOKIE DOWN
Admit it. The jumpscare got you.
Very underrated film. Ahead of its time in a way
i know you have Beetlejuice figures, we want to see them
We saw a couple a long time ago.
I freaking love this movie and recently bought up a bunch of the action figures on the cheap.
This video pleases me greatly.
10/10
Also they totally did make a Danny DeVito cat dude prototype as well as a police station playset for the unreleased wave 2.
"An excellent movie."
I read it from a distance on my screen and thought it said "Last Action Nerd" on the package. Maybe an inspiration for your next feature film, Ashens?
How can anyone hate a movie that helped create a really good Megadeth song?
Childhood classic for me this film I loved it.
I'm going to watch it now lol
top 10 Arnold film this is. deserves multiple rewatches over the course of ones' lifetime.
BEST MOVIE!!! EVER!
I'm quite surprised ashens hasn't bought a big bag of the shooty missiles from toys like these.
“I was drunk that YEAR.”
I personally enjoy Last Action Hero, it's not perfect but I love it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't. Plus it was released in 1993 the year I was born 😎👍
One thing will always stick with me in life. Arnold saying "rubbah baybee buggy bumbahs"
"I was drunk that year"
You can say that about people like Ozzy Osbourne, except he was also high.
By my maths Ashens was 17 that year as well.
I was a fish that
i used to love this film when i was younger! ashens. as a fellow norfolk man this film is great
RUBBER BUGGY BABY BUMPERS!!! I BET YOU DIDNT KNOW I WAS GONG TO SAY THAT!!!
hello malaise era cadillac
I thought it was Rubber baby buggy bumpers? Also, hello malaise-era caddy.
Close enough lol i saw it in the theater when it came out
+Super Duperest bumper baby rubber buggy bumpers hello BTW
Jamie Key lmao I love it. Thanks for making me smile.
I vividly remember seeing Jurassic Park and Last Action Hero in the cinema back when I were a nipper. I still own all these figures along with the 2 cars. I love the film and the toys! Cracking video!
I really miss the long foreign food specials!
Madbaglady88 he literally just had a week a few months ago
I was just thinking I missed the toy specials.
I miss Dan.
Same
Japanese Kitkats please. I know he's probably done it already.
Last Action Hero is easily top 10 movies amongst my family. We all love it so much.
Thank god the kid wasn't a fan of godzilla.
Last Action Hero was great, the Hamlet scene alone is enough to make that film.
NO! Not the deadly accurate wicked skull!!!!
Watched this movie countless times... loved it! Great for rainy Sunday's
Hello from Georgia!(The country ; ^ (
Nick Craizey hello from Georgia the state: D
Hello from Scotland (The Shithole)
This was one of my favorite films as a child. I had the three Jack Slater figures wearing red. I also had the Danny figure and the car. I can't remember what the car did. But I remember having a great time with it. I will still watch the movie when its showing on TV. Its got some great scenes and a great soundtrack. Thanks for posting this I'd forgotten about these figures.
It's actually one of the movies I think of regularly. It's a decent movie.
you should read the original screenplay. it was a satire of action movies not a comedy as the movie wound up to be.
The presence of Whiskers the cat is explained. Danny is angered by the fact that the in-movie universe has no base in actual reality. He expresses his displeasure by stating that Whiskers was a character in a single Jack Slater spin-off aimed at younger audiences, and yet, an eternal part of things now, to the point where absolutely no one questions the presence of an animated anthropormorphic cat detective with the voice of Danny De Vito. I think it was a nod towards movie franchises that either retcon previous volumes, or refuse to acknowledge their existence at all, such as Friday the 13th. Once its been wriiten in, it is in there forever regardless of how disliked it is.
I had some of these... definitely Dynamite Jack, definitely Evil Eye, pretty sure Danny. I always wanted the Hamlet one but never managed to get one.
I had a couple of those toys when I was a kid. I had the "Dynamite" Jack Slater and the "Axe Swingin'"Ripper. I really enjoyed "Last Action Hero", such a fun movie.
Would you ever consider reviewing some of the Jurassic action figures? Id suggest the Jurassic World toys for a good laugh
The best scenes in the entire movie are the cameo overload Police Station scenes.
Taiwinnnn! Lannistarrrr!!!!!!!!!! ☺
Omg I still have that hamlet Arnie! The skull, sadly is long gone. I had no idea it was from LAH
I actually really love this movie.
I loved this film brilliant, really subtle jokes like the T2 Terminator leaving the police station as Jack & Danny enter it. Really good!
Why when you laid Arnie down did it instantly became a Nazi salute arnie
Came here to post this
All you need is The Pontiac convertible and you got yourself a set and the car is gold..... man these bring back memories
*T Y W I N L A N N I S T E R*
I love this film. Had the Benedict figure as a child. His briefcase had a sticker sheet with the various eyes he had in the film you could pop over the red eye. Surprisingly I think I still had most of the stickers when I got rid of it
The guy with the axe played Kane in robocop 2
mrnaughtycat Thanks, I was trying to remember where else I'd seen him.
Talking Heads Stop Making Sense Jack Slater is my favourite
Love this film absolutely brilliant:)
“Not me! I was drunk that year!”
I remember renting movie on vhs
Didn't think I had seen the movie, but when you started explaining it I was like omg... I have... it's quite good imo
Its a beast of a film Ashens, you don't know what you're talking about
Favourite line “You want to be a farmer? Here’s a couple of acres for you” *kicks man in the testicles*
OMG MY GRANDMA HAD THAT FIRST FIGURE AND I HADE NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS!
Last Action Hero is fantastic, it actually gets better with age
I had the one with the yellow backpack and one that fired a skull
Fun Facts:
Last Action Hero is a chunky 90s action and comedy movie.
Tom Noonan was Frankenstein's Monster in The Monster Squad, which was also written by Shane Black.
Charles Dance is terrific.
If he snaps his fingers again, sometime tomorrow you'll emerge out of several canine recta. Questions?
I love that scene.
LAH is great!
One of the best things to come out of this was a song that Megadeth made for the song called “Angry Again” it basically carries the soundtrack as it’s hit and miss, especially the song AC/DC made for it
But check out Angry Again because it’s genuinely a great song
ASSHHEEEEEENNNNNNNNSSS!!!
Stuart, I still have not watched the movie I pledged $40 to help you create. Does that make me a bar person??? I still love you! I haven’t looked you up for over a year and you randomly came into my mind and, lo and behold, you’re still making these awesome videos!
Hooray!!!
Charles Dance's Benedict Arnold might be my favorite movie villain of all time. Love his collection of glass eyes. _"If God had a face, he'd be me."_
Ok Dr Ashens 800 views and 1000 likes? How on earth do you manage that?
Oh man that Undercover Arnie brought back memories haha! I think me or my brother used to have that toy :D
The movie was actually quite good!
No one is more thrilled by this video than all the people on Ebay with MOC Last Action Hero action figures
Nah, he ain't famous from game of thrones, he's famous from Ali-G.
Nah, I think he's most famous from For your eyes only as Henchman #3
I loved this movie when I was younger! Nostalgia kick!
who remembers 1993? not me, I wasn't even conceived until early 1994!
I do, but just barely, as I was only 2-3 years old.
Huh. At least now we know what your mum and dad were doing back in 1994.
ye, not watching that bloody awful film! haha
Not I, for it was the year that I was spewed forth from my mother's loins into this cold and uncaring world....but then I got a Gameboy Color five years later and everything was better.
haha! same except it was the NES for me, and I only had the super mario bros/duck hunt combo cartridge so I never saw anyone change cartridge thus leading me to believe those games were build in and you couldn't get any others! to this day I only have that one combo cartridge!
Pish, rewatching it now and it's even better now than it was back then. Charles Dance is possibly the funniest villain ever
