CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Chris (Val Kilmer) convinces Mitch (Gabriel Jarret) to stay in school and get even with Kent.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Martha Coolidge directed this comedy taking place at fictional Pacific Tech, concerning incoming freshman Mitch (Gabe Jarret), a high school student whose Science Fair project made important inroads into laser beam technology. Mitch has been recruited by famed physics professor Hathaway (William Atherton), who asks Mitch to work in his laboratory. On campus, Mitch becomes roommates with the brilliant Chris Knight (Val Kilmer), legendary as the smartest freshman in the history of the college; but now, as a senior, he is less interested in his studies and more interested in having fun. It turns out that Hathaway is enlisting his students, unbeknownst to them, as a slave labor force to do research in developing a state-of-the-art laser device for the Defense Department (he uses his government grant funds to build a house). But Chris and Mitch begin to suspect that something is amiss with Hathaway's project.

Val Kilmer had a great voice. I heard him recently spoke. throat cancer ravaged his throat to a point where he has to have a voice box. It was depressing.
Why can’t movies be written like this anymore? It’s simple, but it works. It doesn’t preach. It doesn’t talk down to the audience. It just works and that’s all that needs to happen.
Exactly.
The dialogue doesn't talk down to people, it appeals to them.
lol, it is preaching, you just like what's being said. and he's absolutely right, but it's still preaching
@@aliali-ce3yf -totally wrong. "preaching" is the writer or writers having an agenda which is completely transparent & often nauseating; this is pure dialogue written brilliantly to demonstrate a subtle point. Big difference, my man.
@@IanMatthewGray Subtle? The moment Val Kilmer's character learns that his research is going to be weaponized, he literally says "This is bad".
@@Raja1938 My comment refers to the video we are commenting upon.
"It's a moral imperative!" - I've been saying that for MANY years!! This is one of my favorite films of ALL TIME! I miss movies THIS good!
You're the rue of the day!
@@thenerddirector "Rue the day?? Who talks like that??" 😂😂
"All science no philosophy" has been the direction our world has been going in for years. Sad when you think more about it. Math and science ALONE don't solve the deepest problems with in our humanity. Step outside the box get creative. Look deeper, use your mind to actually help people. Proving how smart (in the scientific sense) you think you are could only do more harm than good. Ppl must have a good grasp on philosophy to understand what he was really getting at here.
PICARD: Did you read that book I gave you? (Wesley reacts, barely concealing a grimace as he recalls.)
WESLEY: Some of it.
PICARD: That's reassuring.
WESLEY: I just don't have much time.
PICARD: (re the book in his hand) There is no greater challenge than the study of philosophy. (Wesley glances over at Picard's book)
WESLEY: William James sure won't be on my Starfleet exams.
PICARD: The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained to deal with technology, and the mechanics of piloting a starship.
WESLEY: But Starfleet Academy--
PICARD: It takes more than just that. Open your mind to the past... to history, art, philosophy. And then... (re: the stars) ...this will mean something.
(Wesley considers this, almost embarrassed as he realizes Picard does truly care about him.)
Then: PICARD (continuing) Just consider James' wisdom: "Philosophy... is not a technical matter... it is our sense of what life honestly means... our individual way of feeling the total push and pressure of the cosmos."
(then) That's what I want for you.
As the saying goes.. after a lifetime of climbing a mountain of knowledge, the greatest scientists finally reached the peak only to find there were already theologians and philosophers who had been there for centuries.
Ughhhh...Val Kilmer WAS soooo beautiful ....
"All science, no philosophy." - Chris Knight (Val Kilmer)
Meanwhile, in another movie, someone says something that goes along precisely with that statement.
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." - Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum)
@Ramp Shark Thanks.
Meanwhile, every scientist blows off this line and says: so, just how deep was that dino dung, anyway? That scene was a bunch of crap!
Meanwhile, Jerry Hathaway intends to weaponize their laser into an assassination tool.
0:57, a great lesson on the importance of education: “all science, no philosophy”. This is why colleges need to have gen ed requirements that include classes like English comp, literature, art, music and philosophy, history where the professor teaches you how to interpret it: you can learn fact-based sciences only but then you become a regurgitating robot with no interpretive skills. It’s a great thing to know how to question what’s been established and challenge authority.
Moral of the story is that balance is the key for everything in your life.😉
Nailed it. One of the best movies of it's time
Everything Chris describes is all foreshadowing for what inevitability happens to him. That he's the one describing it is a red herring for the fact that he will be (already is) a victim to Hathaway's machinations. It also implies that Lazlo may have unknowingly built weapons for the government as well. This all culminates in the restaurant scene where they're celebrating, and you can see the dawning horror on Chris's face
You know, I STILL use the term 'Moral Imperative' to this day...
Is this really the origin (or source-mass popularisation) of that saying?? I haven't even heard of this movie before today.
This is one of our family sayings as well as "I want my two dollars" (from Better Off Dead).
One simply must. It's a moral imperative.
@@deezreviewz1996 Two Dollars!
I really love this movie. I didn’t expect to like it more than I should.
Check out Psych. He based the character on Chris Knight.
Hands Down a hidden gem of the 1980s I really wish they would come out with the 4K Ultra Blu ray disc of this movie like they eventually did with another classic Fright Night
This movie is worth a thousand rewatches.
"when you're smart, people NEED YOU."
story of my life. =)
Take a step back,now take a step forward.... Now take a step back, Now take a step forward.... Now take a step back, Now take a step forwarding.... Now Were Cha Chaing...
Could be serious for a second?!
Val Kilmer is sooo gorgeous 😻
Sahova H. Yeah you should see him batman forever.
yes but he did need purple shampoo.... his hair was really yellow lol
Willow
I really love Thomas Newman's score during this classic "Real Genius" scene with Chris -n- Mitch......sounds strangely ethereal & inspirational.
val kilemer...invented drones....
I tell friends to watch this movie because it is a Moral Imperative that they do so.
Chris Knight (Val Kilmer) later became "the dark knight" aka Batman in the movie Batman Forever 🦇
You have to get even, its a moral imperative!
Real Genius is a classic
"When you're smart people need you"
No one has ever admitted to me that they need me for any reason
People today are so paranoid of being honest or hearing someone being honest
Its too "uncomfortable" for them
r/iamverysmart
This is one of the best pep talks in movie history
Classic movie never gets old
RIGHT!
Kent, you know you're not supposed to park that on campus.
You won't get away with this. You'll rue the day.
I love the dialogue of this movie.
Steam tunnels. Uh huh. So that's what the kids are calling it these days.
It took me a lot of re-watching this movie to realise something. At the end they were going to test the laser on some cars in the desert. If you look closely at those cars you can see that they had carefully replicated all of the cars in the Kennedy assassination motorcade.
👀👀👀
I enjoy using my mind creatively.
I always thought Mitch was Sarah Jessica Parker's brother back in the day.
love this film
I live in a country that relies on tourism and trade to get by
Science is faaaar on the bottom of their priorities
Trivia: Val’s T-shirt has Roy Rogers on it. Val lived next door to Roy and when Roy’s house was sold his parents bought it.
0:35 I would have killed for that many Capsela pieces back in the day.
Haha right? We had it when I was a kid unfortunately we didn't really know what to do with it lol.
I have been practicing for years but I've still never managed to get that nail driven through the 2x4.
Get yourselves a friend like Chris Knight
im homeless....and in a steam tunnel.
Jason Bishop hope you aren’t now
When I first watched this movie as a kid, I never understood the line "when you're smart people need you" and I wondered how was this a bad thing? 20 years later I realize the meaning behind it and it makes so much sense now that I am in the corporate world. Companies will eat you up and spit you out because it's all about profit. The smartest people make companies the most money, and that's all they need you for.
I think that's a little cynical for what the actual point of the line was. That because they are smart and people need them they have much more control over their destiny then they might otherwise think. They can decide what to use their intelligence on because people are so in need of what they are capable of producing. They can decide what they want to do with their lives.
@@planguy9575 When we're first introduced to Chris Knight he is on an interview. It is quite clear that the company needs him for his mind and doesn't care if he is wearing a toy on his head or about his work ethic. This is proof companies just need you to make them MORE money. You don't get it.
@@IDIGOASIS Yeah? Chris can act like a fool and still get hired by those people. Normal people can't do that.
Or the iron-willed with the resolve to get the job done... just as needed and just as used...
MY STUDENTS HATED ME CAUSE I BLEW THE BELL CURVE
Very good, Batman, very good
What is the name of that plastic electrical engineering toy on the dresser? I had that when I was a kid
Capsela or something like that.
Capsela! A fun building toy in the 80s!
Capsela.
This clip should be shown to every high school honor student. It's about having original ideas... and maybe being entertaining. 1 or the other.
What's a matrix, check out times, Sundays, Sunday driver's?%.... breakfast lunch dinner, hygeinge. 8%..
Everybody always remembers Val from Tombstone; but, for me....this is the first movie that pops into my head when I hear his name.
Any other MOVIE ❤️ ERS, NOTICE VaL loves ICE AS BEING NICE IN THIS REal, and HE IS MOST famous FAMOUS FOR BEING 🧊 ICE MAN, AND JIM MORRISON IN THE DOORS, AND THE SAINt. Notice a pattern. Iceman died a HERO ATLEAST
The only thing that would have made this movie better was casting Olivia Munn🎁
Hey can you make a clip of the tape recorders in classroom scene? Thanks!
A shame Gabriel Jarret (Mitch) is looking like he's might be a real creep recently. Kind of ruins this movie for me.
This is probably my favorite scene of the whole movie.
Those spherical plastic things behind the guy on camera left at 0:21. What are those?
My machiah was and is everything to me as Mitch. Monique
i live by that whole lecture thank you Val
This movie was Animal House meets Revenge of the Nerds, but cleaner and less about panties
I totally forgot Sarah Jessica Parker was in this one.
She wasn't.......
Oh, that's why I forgot it in the first place: it never happened. right? Mmmh... my brain is smarter than me. LOL.
So 2 years now any nobody has commented on this...? I thought it was a Hoot, and wanted to comment on his looks just the same.
HAHAHAHA
that was capselua in the backorund, the science toy
Yes I remember that!
Great Movie
What happened to 6/8? This seems to be missing. 🤔
@44godson I don’t know. Maybe that’s against you too?
Just bought this on 4k. Love to see these underrated movies getting a good transfer
And then ...... hawaii
The saint?

What bugs me the most is that these characters with all their brains don’t seem to get the bigger picture. Hollyfeld cracked when he learned that the things he engineered were killing people? Did he ever think that maybe another engineer in another country (USSR perhaps…) was working on the exact same thing?
He cracked because he lost his innocence. He didn’t recognize his actions had consequences. He didn’t want to “get back at the Russians” he wanted affirmation.
@@wesleywallace4426 well we all have to lose our innocence at some point, it’s part of growing up. What better way to seek affirmation when you know that (from an engineer’s perspective) your life’s work is being put to good use?
Can anyone tell me what that thing in the background is at 0:22? Clear thing with the yellow things. I swear I saw one of these as a kid at a friend's place back in the 80s and now I need to know what it was...
Looks like a Capsela toy.
My God. You have made my day. Thank you :)
Oi vey
