Hey everyone! This may be unexpected but this movie has to be one of my favourite Arnold movies. It hit me emotionally in the most unexpected places and I have been thinking about this movie a lot after watching it. Yes... I know it's Kindergarten Cop... but I loved it.
Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)
Just to know what perspective you come from, are you Canadian or American?
I love you 😍
@@tomdowling638 He’s Canadian.
Kindergarten Cop 2 (2016) 👍👍👍
@@tomdowling638 Canadian :)
Your reaction to this film is a reminder that we do not need to watch a cinematic masterpiece to strongly connect to a film. There can be films with noticeable flaws but have aspects or scenes that we strongly connect to nonetheless, and we might not have any explanation for it. When that happens, the flaws are still there, but they seem to matter very little. Others might not like the films that we connect to, and they may even have their reasons, but in the end, I doubt that matters.
Great job! 👍
The phrase "IT'S NOT A TUMOR!!!" in Arnold's voice and Arnold's frustration randomly pops up in my head sometimes and I can't help but to laugh at it lol
It was THE Arnold quote when I was growing up. I think it eclipsed Hasta La Vista, Baby or I'll Be Back.
@@AWSVids I fully agree :) I understand why people like the tough Arnold but for me I like his funny side. He doesn't take the Arnold Schwarzenegger tough guy persona so seriously and made Kindergarten cop and twins which are both funny great movies.
It’s the “I’M THE PARTY POOPER” for me 😂
All the names you had for Chris Kimble was HILARIOUS....LOL!!
Of all his movies, Arnold said that ‘Kindergarten Cop’ is his favorite.
"Not so tough without your car, ain't'cha?"
That line killed me when I was a kid 🤣 🤣
The principal is Linda Hunt, a wonderful, marvelous actor who came to real attention playing a boy in "The Year of Living Dangerously". Often portraying a person of great moral and emotional strength, under-estimated because of her appearance, she has a lovely line of dialogue in the movie "Silverado" after demonstrating the thought: ua-cam.com/video/g2aQ-Q6a3aY/v-deo.html
Pamela Reed plays the delightful "wingman" Phoebe. My brother once observed that one of Schwarzenegger's great qualities is that he surrounds himself with intelligent, versatile, gifted actors to support him.
You took the words out of my mouth!
I love Linda Hunt when she gets to play the tough boss lady because she nails such roles. The first time I really noticed her was in the short-lived series 'Space Rangers' and her presence as the Commander and leader of the colony was unquestionable. She may had to look up to everyone, but no one looked down at her.
@@Dreamfox-df6bg Wonderfully said!
That was a really nice and sweet story about your experience with kids. And you’re right, part of what art does is to connect with us on a personal level.
Loved your reaction. I really enjoy Arnie in these wholesome films. I'd recommend "Junior" or "Twins" as well. And you are so right, HEART is the reason why I had the best childhood. Pretty much all the films growing up had heart even if the story wasn't oscar worthy. PS: if you liked the little girl in this, then you should check out "Beethoven" (1992). Another great film with a lot of heart :)
We used to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at school but I graduated from high school in 1979 so that was a long time ago.
Oh man, great reaction. Sometimes nothing hits us harder than a cheesy 90s comedy. Like you said, the heart is there. Also loved all your other names for Crisp, you were cracking me up :D
I was 10-11 and at the height of my Arnold worship when this came out. Saw it on VHS and it hit the right notes. Watching it when older, I was surprised to be emotionally tugged on it too.
This is absolutely my favorite Arnold movie. Saw it in theaters back in the day. I love T2, T1 and Conan, but this is one of the films that also inspired me to teach. Directed by the guy who did ghostbusters. Music by the guy who did Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Im glad you shared your experience with us.
"Music by the guy who did Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story."
Randy Edelman had previously worked with director Ivan Reitman on Ghostbusters II, also.
Did you know that? 😄
I read that they got like 7 different ferrets, each trained for a specific action, depending on what they need him to perform in the movie.
I rate movies based on what I would change. I wouldn’t change anything about Kindergarten Cop. It’s not supposed to be Oscar caliber. It’s perfectly fine that it’s predictable.
That's a good rating system! I love this movie and have probably seen it 25 times over the years. But on a recent watch, I noticed that John isn't a very good detective. He assumes that Mrs. Sullivan's husband is Zach's father, but she doesn't say that. She calls him "my husband," and John rules out Mrs Sullivan/Zach based on that conversation, when she easily could have remarried after leaving Crisp. It would even make sense that if she had been married to Crisp her next marriage could be abusive as well. It's actually Phoebe who rules out Zach Sullivan when she learns he's not related to Crisp.
I’m so happy you watched this. Ditto on the emotional, sweet parts of this movie. They really enhanced the kids’ adorableness. Thank you!
Linda Hunt, who played the principal, is an Academy Award-winning actress. I thought she was great in this. She demonstrates that an excellent actor/actress can make a memorable character out of a small part.
You might be interested to know that the entire cast was in love with Richard Tyson (Crisp). The women and the kids ALL loved him - and said he was such a sweetheart off set. Always making sure the kids were comfortable around him. He said it was hard for him to get back into character.
That’s because the women saw Two Moon Junction.
@@tempsitch5632 Never seen it - but I'll take your word for it
Thanks, Oliver! 🐣 I can't tell ya how often I hear the words, "It's not a tumor!" (in Mr. Schwarzenegger's voice) echoing through my brain. ❧ The performer who played 'Miss Schlowski' is Linda Hunt. I *love* her! She won the best supporting actress Oscar for playing a male character, 'Billy Kwan', in THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY (1982). She also voiced the nocturnal slug 'Lady Proxima' in SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (2018).
If you like Linda Hunt you should check out the movie She Devil with Roseanne Barr and Maryl Streep.
Since 2009 Linda Hunt is very well known as Henrietta "Hetty" Lange in popular TV-show Navy CIS:L.A.! Love it :)
Oh, I've seen it. It's another good one! Thanks, Irene.
Thank you, Josef!
One of my favorite Arnold movies! It’s funny, it has heart, and the kids are great.
KC and True Lies are my two favourite Arnold movies. As a preschool teacher myself - I can relate to it too. Dominic was played by two twin boys. They traded off their scenes. You NEED to check out Adventures in Babysitting. The most amazing movie soundtrack of the 80's. It's a lot of fun - and has a very young Penelope Miller in it. I think you would LOVE this :). If you want to listen to another one of the best movie soundtracks - check out Secret of My Success with Michael J Fox. The soundtrack was done by ICONIC Canadian producer David Foster. The movie is a business one - but hilarious and a lot of fun. Michael SHINES in it.
Secret Of My Success and For Love Or Money are my two fav 80’s Michael j Fox flicks.
@@tempsitch5632 Nobody has done Secret of My Success yet. I'm trying to request it to as many of my favourite reactors as I can - but so far haven't had any luck. And it is such an AWESOME one. I'll keep trying though.
@@tempsitch5632 For Love or Money is highly underrated! MJF is so charming in it.
@@LordVolkov Yes he is. Known to people around other parts of the world as The Concierge.
Check out the movie Relic if you wanna see another movie with Penelope Miller and Linda Hunt.
This is Arnold's favorite of all his movies. I totally agree. My personal #2 is Twins. If you somehow haven't seen that, it's an emergency.
a fun, heart warming "Arnold" movie. Like you would say, something you needed but didnt know you needed.
For years since this moving hearing, "It's not a Toomorh" in my family. LOL
I loved all the nicknames you gave Crisp 🤣 Great reaction
This movie, when it came out was a departure for Arnold. It was his first comedy and it became a huge hit, making $202 million worldwide against a productive budget of $15 million. It was a slam dunk, a crowd pleaser. So, it's no surprise that you enjoyed it. It was directed by legendary comedy director, Ivan Reitman. So, forget about Rotten Tomatoes. Some of those scores are skewed.
The next comedy he did was "Twins," with Danny DeVito. You should check it out.
The Pledge of Allegiance was done throughout the entire time I was in school. Nowadays we are having to fight to keep that practice.
We did bomb raid practice too.
So you think our youth should be indoctrinated by christian nationalism? Weird thing to fight for...
Just to give you an outside perspective from a very patriotic Scottish person; pledging allegiance to a flag seems kinda culty…
@@lizziedavidson1987 - Thankfully, we are getting away from forced patriotism.
@@lizziedavidson1987 Speaking as an American... I agree.
Loved your reaction. No worries you're not the only one who teared up
I kept cracking up every time you gave the villain a different name. Also this movie was shot in Astoria, the same town and name from the Goonies. I think there's a wide shot of the town in Goonies and you can spot the school there. This movie is where a lot of the Arnold Soundboards came from. there are videos on youtube where people use recordings of Arnold's voice to do crank calls. they're freaking hilarious.
Don't forget Short Circuit, too! Kindergarten Cop, The Goonies, and Short Circuit were all set and filmed in Astoria. A few other movies (e.g., TMNT3, Free Willy) have used it as a filming location, but those three are the "holy trinity" of Astoria films for me.
Yes, the Goonies house is just a couple blocks up the hill from the elementary school on the east side of town. One of the nice things the production did was they left all the improvements and special equipment at the school to be used by the teachers and students there throughout the years - including a seriously decked out kindergarten room.
Kindergarten Cop is my partner’s 2nd favorite movie. We both love it.
Arnie is such a gem : D
I love all your fun names for Mr. Crisp. 😂
"Boys have a penis, and girls have a vagina."
Truth! 😎
Fun Fact: In reality, the kids loved Arnold Schwarzenegger. They were constantly climbing all over him like a jungle gym.
Future Filmmaker Fact: Director Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman, has a cameo as the boy making out with the girl that Kimble interrupts during the real fire drill.
Location Location Fact: Astoria elementary, the school in the movie, is just a few blocks from The Goonies (1985) house in Astoria. The measured out distance between the two, is 1.6 miles or less than 3 minutes.
This may not be a typical Arnold movie, but it's one of his best. Has a lot of emotion to it that movies like *Predator* don't.
EDIT: Love *The Secret Life of Walter Mitty* with Ben Stiller. May not appeal to everyone, but speaks very strongly to me.
Loved your reaction to this movie, as well your reaction to Stand By Me. Your reactions are very heartfelt and genuine. I really like your story about how you kept going back and working with kids at the camp. I have huge respect for people who take the time to work with and help kids. I mentor young boys who need a helping hand in life, and some of them have become very close friends, even as they become adults. The moments that you got emotional in this reaction are the same moments that I get emotional watching this movie too. I have a movie suggestion that I guarantee you will love- The Children Of Huang Shi, is based on a true story and is one of my very favorite movies. I subscribed to your channel after watching this and your reaction to Stand By Me, another of my very favorites. Keep it up, my friend. Cheers from Wyoming!
I've been waiting for this reaction all week since I saw your community post! I love this movie, but there are hardly any reactions to it on UA-cam. Loved all your nicknames for Crisp, too. 😂
Always entertaining watching an Arnie flick
most of my time in school it was done in the morning before classes started. in middle school we only had to stand, high school they didn't care if we sat.
Kindergarten cop is a solid movie.
Always really enjoyed this one. It just works. Kinda shouldn't and yet it does. During lockdown Arnold did a lovely Zoom meeting catch up with some of the grown up kids from this movie. He's a great guy.
"Do you do this before every class in America?"Yes, we did. It annoyed us too,trust me!
Have you seen Hulu's exclusive movie, "Prey" yet? If you've seen "Predator" then you definitely must watch it as it is the prequel to the entire Predator franchise. "Predator" and "The Running Man" (1987) are my favorite Arnie movies ever. I haven't seen "The Running Man" since I was just a kid but that goes to show you just how much I love that movie. 😊
I'm glad you had fun enjoying it!
I love the action star Arnold movies but in many ways the Comedy Arnold movies- Kindergarten cop, Junior, Twins etc are the ones I look back on most fondly. Last Action Hero and True Lies too (probably legitimately better movies than the others). The guy has a fantastic roster of films behind him.
''I'm the party pooper''
Loved the reaction bro. You are so handsome by the way 🔥
I enjoyed you enjoying this. :-) In years past, we said the pledge of allegiance every morning at school. Some only say it once a week and it seems many not at all. As far as Arnold just staying and becoming the teacher.....well, you need to get a college degree and now, also a master's degree in order to be a teacher. You even have to be certified in a specific area like grades 2-4 or K-3 etc. To be a substitute you need at least an undergraduate degree. That is until the advent of Covid. In some places they've changed the rules and anyone who passes the background check can be a substitute. They make it tough---so, no, Arnold couldn't just decide to stay. Excellent wrap-up. It is a fun, feel-good movie.
Nice discussion of the plot. Many reactors just take two to three minutes to summarize at the end. Nice job, well done.
At one time I worked as a grade school art teacher in a small town. And we had to deal with a monster of a father. To the point that he was not allowed on school property. But that was all we could do. After he threatened female and male teachers alike. Small towns suck.
Great reaction dude. Maybe it's just my nostalgia goggles but I always thought Crisp was a terrifying villain. I dunno. His mother was even scarier. That scene in the pharmacy always freaks me out.
Guilty pleasures can triumph over blockbusters.
“You’re not so tough without your car are ya?” (John Wayne style”
I enjoy Ollie . Love his laugh..
It is an enjoyable film. The thing that makes me laugh is those kids will now be around 40 years old!!! I wonder how many of them have watched it with their own children?
If you're still thinking about a name for your penguin what about Creation the Penguin? It's a slight rearrangement of part of your channel name, Reaction and you're a creator of content. Sorry if it's a bit silly, another nice reaction though!!!
I love the finale fight scenes so tense
kindergarten cop is top Arnold with Commando and Twins
12:15 kids are brutally honest for no reason.
Actually there IS a clear and easy to comprehend reason…they haven’t been corrupted into the mindset of “you can’t be honest with people cos they will blame you for their inability to accept the harsh reality that is LIFE”
Its still a great movie!
I really appreciated your review of Kindergarten Cop. Good insight. Let me tell you why we like the villain, Cullen Crisp in this. Those of us who grew up on these 80's / 90's movie know him as the 'antagonist' in the wonderfully underrated, cult classic 80's movie, "Three O'Clock High". PLEASE add this to your review list. I think you will find it quite enjoyable. Just found you, and really liking your reviews.
Love this movie, I saw this in the theater at 10 yrs old sadly I wasn't feeling well and threw up all over my dad it was a nightmare lol so I didn't see what happened last half of the movie until it came out on VHS
omg.... the music at 11 11 almost sounds like ganon's theme from zelda
We did the pledge through elementary school but that was 1,000 years ago.
Love Love Love this Movie❤️
It's funny watching you tear up to the music. The music reminds me of Hallmark channel music. 😜✉️😍
Great movie. You should also watch Cadlic Man with the actress who plays Phoebe O'Hara
Fun flick.
LOVE THIS MOVIE 🤗
You should check out Arnold and Danny Devito in the movie Twins.
I LOVE THIS MAN
You should react to Arnold in the documentary "Pumping Iron", or as fellow bodybuilder Frank Zane called it, "Pumping Arnold".
This is a great movie which showed just how charismatic Ah-nuld was, being able to carry an action-comedy movie. Unfortunately it meant other action stars also tried their hand at "comedy" which led to...awful results. If you hate yourself, I recommend watching Sly Stallone making a fool of himself in "Stop! Or my mom will shoot!" 🤪
Love this movie 8 out of 10 thanks
We only say the pledge of allegiance during homeroom.
Pamela Reed is in the movie Clan of the cave bear. Please do a reaction to that one!
@RolyPolyOllie Reactions -- For your private enjoyment "The Year of Living Dangerously"
If you like comedic Ahnold films, allow me to recommend "Junior" also.
I'm built nearly like Arnold and I played in the NFL and I have a ferret
Americans used to do the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag before class all the time but recently people have been refusing to do it.
It's ok to love this movie!! This is one of my fav because my cousin is in it. Miko Hughes... He is the one that says "Boys have a penis.. Girls have vagina's' LMAO! Speaking of my cousin.... Have you ever seen "Pet Sematary" ? If not.. you should react to it... My cousin is amazing in that one.. and he was only 22 months old in that one! Scary.. but fun!! Plz watch if you haven't seen.
While you're on a horror kick with Pet Sematary, you should also watch Wes Craven's New Nightmare if you haven't seen it. Miko Hughes was in that as well. Actually, if you've never seen any of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, you should watch them too.
LOL, Are you going to react to the sequel? Dolph Lundgren is pretty funny too...
10:55 no, not really, he just wants to make sure people are reminded of these things…childlike innocence and all, not knowing if other people know this little fact or not…
…sadly this scene is likely to result in the film getting banned, or any future releases would have it cut… sigh
One of the few Arnie movies I have never seen, which is probably a sin on my part
Waah waah
This was one of those movies I didn’t watch for years because it sounded absolutely awful. Just the idea of Arnold dealing with little children was ridiculous, but I ended up loving this movie because he had such a wonderful chemistry with the children. Just the fact that the children weren’t afraid to give him a hard time and he just had to take it (he obvious couldn’t be violent or mean to them) was hilarious.
Hhmmm...movie critics...they can kiss my southern hemisphere...and I never care who or what those "academies" vote as best film or actor. .you know it's all internal politics...
I never look for any ratings on any movie...I pick on interest of subject matter or casting...so..I like what I like and I enjoyed Kindergarten Cop..I've watched it in its entirety several times...
So never feel you have to defend your reactions..you're doing what you feel...
Best of luck...🌿🌿🌿
Yeah, we did the pledge every morning. Well I sat down, and would get a lot of shit for it.
Your not from America? Hmm... I for some reason thought you were! lol... Anyways... Yes.. In American schools.. you pledge allegiance to the flag every morning!! :)
Not many schools do that anymore.
@@mgeek1 Fair enough.. I am 41 and no kids... I guess I assumed they still do it! lol
@@chrispruett81 - I believe it's done mostly in elementary schools so that the children can learn the pledge. After that, it's done during ceremonies or on special school events.
Wooden moments? i wooden say that lol jk
You realize these kids are actually older than you now right? 😂
No downside? You obviously; you have seen Batman and Robin! Nothing could save that film. Not even Arnold
SHUUUUUUUUUUT
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP! Shut Up! Shut Up!
Walter Mitty is a great movie! It's also a remake, don't bother with the original.
