My wife is a paralegal and she says attorney's dream of being able to say the line "Everything that guy just said is bullshit."
That's pretty much the essence of every opening statement by the defence anyway, isn't it?
I go to watch trials in person just to say that from the audience. Its cheaper than the movies and I'm out in less time. Typically escorted.
@@ryanhighberg4662 🤣☠
To me, a perfect opening statement
@@ryanhighberg4662 That's priceless!😂😂
Marisa Tomeii absolutely crushed her role in this movie. She deserved her Academy Award. I think half the country fell in love with her after this movie came out.
No she didn't, LOL. She only got her Oscar because of her knee dropping ability
We all feel in love with her from as the world turns. She was in the same time as meg Ryan and Julianne Moore
Yes, she did. This movie is full of terrific performances and her performance still stands above all of the others. She was 22 years younger than Joe Pesci and she absolutely sold that relationship chemistry.
@@jlhanlon1980 gross.
It’s people like that that cause me to hate humanity. What a dick. 😒
This movie is so legally accurate when it comes to procedure that law schools use it in class. I was once at a party with a bunch of lawyers I didn't know. I was in a legal conversation with them and keeping up pretty good. One of the guys thought I was an attorney and tried to headhunt me. I was flattered but I laughed and said, "I'm not a lawyer, I've just seen my cousin Vinnie a bunch."
I golf with those guys once a month now.
That's an awesome story! Right up there with "I'm not a doctor, but I stayed at the Holiday Inn"!
That is really neat about the movie's accuracy, but your story is even better that's awesome!
Brilliant story.
Vinny getting a good night sleep during a prison riot, reminded him of home (he's from New York) :D
But he didn't get a good night sleep. He smiled because he found the irony that OF COURSE there would be a riot the one night bed in there. Because he's not going to sleep in that state.
@correypeta he was smiling in his sleep because the prison sounded like home and he could sleep.
@@Lensmaster1 Where do you get that? He is obviously NOT sleeping, hence his smile. He's awake, fully. And its funny that he THOUGHT he was going to sleep that night, but not. And he sees the humor in it.
There's no way he's happy because he's getting sleep. He's not. He's awake.
@@correypeta if you say so. I smile in my sleep.
@@Lensmaster1that’s what I got from it 👍🏼 I can relate. Moved from downtown large city to country. Took me months to get used to the quiet
As a New Yorker and Brooklynite, I can say that the reason Vinny can sleep in prison because the sounds of the prison are just ... like home....
Nature noises were not known to them
That is so true. When I went to college in Boston I got a cheap apartment next to a fire station. It was very common at ALL hours the trucks went out. When I finished school and moved to the suburbs I had to leave the lights and tv on because it was too quiet to sleep. It took a year before I adjusted.
Very true! I literally grew up a half mile away from an interstate, train tracks and an airport. The first year I lived away from home the silence was deafening by comparison.
Same in East Harlem. The only "wildlife" were screams, traffic and occasional gunfire
Do any of you Northerners eats grits? I grew up in Alabama & we ate them almost every day. I refuse to eat them now.
It's completely natural for the actor playing the Judge to have been so wonderful: He was the late, great Fred Gwynne, most famous for playing Herman Munster in the 1960s tv series "The Munsters", but who also was a regular on "Car 64 Where Are you?", as well as a host of tv, movie and theater credits. He completely understood the value of the under-play, the slow burn, and the building of relationships and tensions with his fellow actors. He was also an author of childrens' books, including a book of puns, "The King Who Rained".
Small correction.It was Car 54 not 64.
@@geogen1426 Whoops! Thanks for that!
Oh wow! I thought the judge's voice sounded familiar but never realized he was from Car 54. I watched that show a few years ago when it was playing on the MeTV channel and thought it was hilarious 😂
Pet Semetery
@@CaseyTyler357his name is Judge in Pet Sematary.
Anyone else notice that when the judge approaches Vinny at the end- Vinny holds up both hands *for handcuffs* - he doesn't extend just one hand to shake. I love that bit. Peace, all 💕
The joke about Vinny being able to sleep like a baby in jail, despite the ruckus, is that he's from New York...so, he's used to that kind of background noise.
You beat me to it... urban noise is so different from country noise...
My wife and I love this movie. Whenever we've had an argument, one of us will say "how can you be soOOoo sure?" and it just makes us laugh every time. This is one of those movies we can't pass up if we see it's on. Such a feel-good comedy.
Marisa Tomei's performance here is one of the most deserved Oscars I've seen.
Agreed. She inhabited that role and stole every scene.
I agree, but it's also one of the most derided... in fact, I think there's a conspiracy theory about it, that she didn't really win...
@jduncanandroid
I never heard that one... but I gave up on the Oscar's in the 60s, when "Fantastic Voyage" stole Best Cinematography from the far superior "Grand Prix"... but I digress...
"Lisa" Marisa Tomeii won a OSCAR for her performance as Best Supporting Actress for her performance in this movie!
The scene where Pesci knocks over the chess set was not acting, he actually accidently knocked over the set during filming the scene and they decided to keep it in. Another fun fact, they actually view and discuss this film in classrooms at law schools.
I believe he fell asleep in the prison because it was noisy like he’s used to in the city. It was the quiet with the sudden and disturbing noise that he couldn’t tolerate.
My favorite comedy movie. Never get tired of it. Favorite lines “How could it take you five minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire grit-eating world twenty minutes? …Perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove!”
I not only had a screech owl near my house in Pennsylvania but also a fisher that would scream at night, no one believed me when I told some neighbors that I thought that it was a fisher, they kept telling me that fishers have not been in that area for 150 years, less then a week later there was a notice in the paper to keep your pets in because of fishers being seen in the neighborhood. For those who don't know what a fisher is think a smaller cousin to the wolverine.
I saw a fisher in the Sierra Nevada once... from across a river... thought it was a bear cub 😀
What the heck is a wolverine? Some kind of an angry beaver?
@@Fauxkat69 take a ferret or weasel increase them in size about the size of a bobcat give them long sharp claws and a some what nasty temper with teeth that can crush bone.
You tube has a good nature video on them and their fisher cousins
Vinnie tipped the prison guard because he's from New York City, where it is common to tip for services...but never in prison. 😅😅😅
It also helped to reinforce the joke/misunderstanding that he was there to f*** the new prisoners. From their perspective, it made it look like he was bribing the guard for access.
24:17 that’s a screech owl & that’s exactly how they sound.
He paid the prison guard because he thought he was supposed to tip him!
That was a big scoop of pork lard to prep the griddle for frying.
They *did* change hotels. The first was across from the factory, the second from the pig farm.
That was a screech owl. Appropriately named, because they. . . screech.
He got a good night's sleep in prison because the sirens sounded like home. Brooklyn.
It's your ass line always gets me😂
That whole scene is gold
"You're getting effed one way or the other..."
Was so much great double entendre in that entire scene 😀
This movie shows you why casting is so important. Thery did an excellent job casting each of these actors and the charcter actors.
Every second of this movie gives you something.
The second witness was proud when he noticed it was 7 bushes
The prosecutor saying "Truth, It's a word comes down from old England... and all our little old ancestors" as they show a couple of African American jurors.
I think he said verdict.
The age difference between Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei in real life is 22 years. She was only 26 making this film, so young that even Ralph Macchio was 3 years older than her.
I'm glad y'all pointed out how the whole case is predicated on a huge coincidence. And also not fall into the trap so many reactors do of assuming everyone is crooked and trying to frame the boys.
Marisa Tomei's Oscar win for this was such a shock, urban myth Jack Palance read the wrong name and they didn't have the heart to correct him. Looking back, it's easier to see how she won, just totally commits to the role in a genius way.
Just because those other actresses nominated alongside Marisa were British, didn't mean they acted better.
@@rrubio6660
A British accent trumps talent at the Oscars.
It lets them pretend to European sophistication.
@@kenle2 EVIDENTLY, not that year. LOL!
Years later, they went back and polled the academy voters and verified the win.
This myth that she didn't really win the Oscar was disproven long ago. People need to get over it. She won fair and square
My two favorite lines from Marisa Tomei: "Would you like me to ex-PLAIN?" and "They WUH!". 😂 Thanks for including both of them!
You asked about the attorneys hanging out together, as a guy who grew up in a small Southern town, we used to say that most cases were decided on the golf course.😁
5:51 He was giving him a tip for his service, as if he was a valet or a baggage handler at a hotel. xD
I've watched this movie so many times and yet will never pass up a chance to watch a first time reaction. It's absolutely one of my favorites.
I love all the scenes with 6'6" Fred Gwynne and 5'3" Joe Pesci.
Yeah Herman Munster is great in this movie
@@biguy617 "Lilly, I'm home!"
@thomas,
Yes, they were awesome together. Their difference in height helped excentuate their cultural differences.
My best friend and I have been saying “what is a yewt?!” randomly to each other for the past 25 years 😂
One of my favorite parts of the movie.
Omg, never realized it was Barry from FRIENDS that Rachel left at the altar! Mind blown!
"Breakfast?"
"Ya think?" 😂😂😂
The sheriff (Bruce McGill) played D-Day in Animal House. Lane Smith is the prosecuting attorney. Those guys are in so many movies and tv shows.
I enjoy your reactions. Y'all appreciate all the fun beats in the story. ❤❤
At the end of Animal House D Day rides of in a stolen cop car. My theory is that when he got to Beecham County they hired him on the spot since he had his own cop car.
McGill was also the original MacGyver's side kick
And, believe it or not, he eventually became an honest-to-gawd judge in real life.
The judge was played by Fred Gwynne in his final film performance (he passed away the following year)
He is well known for the original portrayal of Herman Munster in The Munsters series.
He also starred in the series Car 54, Where Are You?
Not to mention, he was also in the original Pet Semetary film adaptation.
@@EdithCardellini another iconic performance
"What's a 'yute'?"
🎱
"Sometimes dead is better."
💀☠️
Two great lines by the same great actor.
Even South Park expertly saterized Gwynne as Jud Crandall (Pet Sematary) several times! 😅
Rest In Peace, Mr. Gwynne.
💐
Fun fact: the age difference between Pesci and Tomei was substantial (22 years) so the film's makeup crew decided Pesci needed to look younger. For his scenes, tape was used to pull back his face and smooth out wrinkles. Watch the movie when there are closeups of Pesci and Tomei interacting. You can see the crease mark about an inch from Pesci's ear where the hidden tape is pulling back his face.
I've seen that! I just thought it was the world's worst facelift. 🤣
oh my god, so THAT's why he looks so weird in the movie
You'd think it would be easier to just get a face-lift 😆
Grits are just a carrying medium for butter, salt, and pepper.
And on many occasions cheese
@@Tony-B23 and shrimp!
and cheese! gotta love a nice bowl of cheese grits 😋
I’ve even been known to throw some brown sugar on em & have ‘dessert grits.’🤣
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192: I don't eat grits now but that's the way my great-aunt used to eat them & I picked that up from her.
from lawyers this film received a good grade for legal realism
I had an owl that lived in my backyard. It was a screech owl and made the same sound as the one in this movie.
One of the best comedies of all time. This movie is an absolute classic and will never get old. Great reaction.
Fun Fact: Since you've been watching Friends, the actor playing Stan was also Barry (Rachel's ex)
i was just about to comment this as i started the reaction lmaooo
How did I not recognize him?! That's really cool he's in this
@@nickreacts6394 That's what I want to know! How did you not recognize him?!
where did my reply go? lol
Isn't he gay in real life?
i love that you really share your thoughts at the end. Most people doing this are just like "That was good. OK, bye!", which is very unsatisfying.
Keep up the good work!
Baby owls are no joke. They are the ultimate death to a good night's sleep. Shooing them away is extremely dangerous too, because mama or papa can come clawing at you.
The best cut in this movie is when Vinny says " you were serious about that" and goes straight to him on the bus to jail again
The judge played the Frankenstein named Herman Munster in the tv comedy "The Munsters." Prople eat corn flakes, but get all weirdrd out over grits. They're the same thing, basically, just prepared differently. Its called a Screech Owl. See more of Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon 2, 3, and 4. Also GoodFellas and Casino.
I just have always seen grits as a cereal ..especially if you add sugar
It's like if mash potatoes and sand had a baby that tastes like corn lol
@@eTraxx Ooooh, that's gonna start an argument. LOL
@@Rising_Pho3nix_23 Sand? Can't speak to that.
The judge, Fred Gwynne, was also in a great early 60s television show called Car 54: Where are You? It's a very funny old show.
My favorite part of the movie is Marisa's nod and sneer when the prosecutor patronizingly questions her working as a mechanic. 😅
🤣🤣 he wasn't sleeping well in the prison because he was doing well, he was sleeping because the sounds are what he's used to hearing in New York
I love the part where the prosecutor asks Lisa about the timing, because you just know that he's asking her what timing he should use for his project car. Back in the day, this was a very common thing that guys would call each other and ask about.
Yeah, that's a Screech Owl.
That is definitely a real owl sound....a screech owl. We have them here where I live, and they can be frightening - especially if you're close to one and don't know it and they let loose with a scream!
YES!!! as an 80s baby.. This was a childhood favorite.. I loved this movie growing up and even rewatched it a few years ago. Marissa Tomei was an Awesome femal role model in this imo. For me it validated being into "guy" things.
Blast From the Past is really good Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone with Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek
The best part about this movie - no villain. Neither the judge, the prosecutor, nor the sheriff are anything other than honest and professional. (And we never see the murderer).
I'll always wish they made the planned sequel of Vinny heading to London.
Insta click, I love this movie.
Same
Yes, it's a screech owl and they are loud. My home town had a 'get up' whistle. And Melissa won an Oscar for her role here. Such a great movie - great review.
Imagine you're a youtuber, uploading videos to youtube, when bam, somebody clicks the like button. Would you give a damn what kind of trousers he's wearing?
if you find this funny there's a channel, legal eagle, it's pretty much a lawyer reviewing the legal accuracy in movies and TV shows. he says this one is really accurate.
The reason he slept through the prison riot is because he is used to these sounds being from The Bronx.
The judge was Herman Munster on the program "THE MUNSTERS". So funny. Billy Boy
She won an Academy Award for her performance !!!
This is a quote fest interrupted by a court trial and grits. Absolutely hilarious. And my clock is tickin' like this!
The humour in this movie is unmatched 😂😂😂 The stuttering public defender scene had me crying the first time I watched it 😂
There is absolutely no way I am missing a My Cousin Vinny reaction video.😂😂
32:00 - "he's still asleep - because he's doing good" - no, it's because he's from New York and used to that kind of noise. It's familiar. 😄
That is indeed a screech owl and they sound exactly like that. they are terrifying if you've never heard them before.
😂 Your girlfriend has the BEST laugh!! Thanks for this reaction! Love this movie. 🍿❤
Thank you!
God I hope you read this. It's not entirely a comedy, but the comedy in it is top notch, and well balanced with its other categories Tremors is a 1990 horror\thriller\comedy starring Kevin Bacon, and Fred Ward. Ever heard of it? If not, don't feel bad. It only adds to its underratedness. If we're talking about underrated movies, this deserves its own category. It did poorly in the box office, but VHS sales and rentals made it clear that it had a thriving fan base, and that doesn't even scratch the surface of how underrated it is. It's taught in film schools as a perfectly crafted movie. Every scene does something to further character development or plot.
I describe "Tremors" so: "The B-movie that rose to A-status with a mix of Humor, Horror and Romance."
@@Otokichi786 I wouldn't have included the romance, because it's so sparce, but even still, it's so perfectly handled amongst everything else.
The judge is played by Fred Gwynne who was 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) tall, an attribute that contributed to his being cast as Herman Munster, a goofy parody of Frankenstein's monster, in the sitcom!.
20:52 This bit had to be what put Tomei across the Oscar finish line...just brilliant.🤣😍
I dunno…I think it could be the whole “The Defense is WRONG” scene where she proves the Buick Skylark couldn’t have been the getaway vehicle 🥰 or perhaps the Biological Clock monologue, it’s all so good!
@@juliewagner3023 She's all kinds of Nifty. 👍😍
from the 80' have you ever watch "Ferris Bueller's Day off", "National Lampoon's Vacations, "Caddyshack", "Clue" 1985, "The breackfast club" 1985, "An American Werewolf in London" 1981.
The owl is a bit exaggerated but barn owls called screech owls do in fact make high pitch screeches.
Barn owl and screech are in fact two different types. The sound is more barn owl but the one show looks like a different type.
Some other comedies from that era that are worth watching, Shakespeare In Love, Doc Hollywood (similar to My Cousin Vinny but with a doctor instead of an attorney), and The Big Easy (the last is more of a police / action / romance movie, but has some fun with it).
Not many times in the past 60 years, u can say, this person deserves the Oscar. Marissa did!
disclosure… per sixth amendment of the US constitution you have the right to face your accuser. this includes being able to see ALL evidence used against you
Nick& Wi This was a lot of fun to watch your reactions and comments for My Cousin Vinny . It was easy to see that you both enjoyed this movie. Marisa really knocked her character right out of the park.... her scene in the courtroom is one of my favorite movie scenes ever . Thank you both for this treat and I look forward to more #DeathProof ~2007 by Quentin Tarantino
Great classic ❤ I always relate to the waking up of a train passing the house. It is not that bad with our train next to house, but we live next to a firehouse and when that shit goes off at 2 a.m., it is hard to get back to sleep
sometimes.
Also you and your gal are adorable together. ❤
Joe Pesci also played an unbalanced, crazy, cruel mafioso in "Goodfellows". The guy's amazing to have that sort of acting range!
27:21 Best opening statement ever!
This movie was made in Covington Ga and Monticello Ga I was one of the security guys during the filming and also in the heat of the night
Vinny knocking over the chess pieces while talking to the judge was unscripted. Kudos to both actors, professionals to the core, for remaining in character and allowing us to enjoy that moment.
FYI: THE Judge was played by Fred Gwyen. He, in the 1960s, played Herman Munster, in the sitcom, THE MUNSTERS. Also was in the sitcom, CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU.Also, in Steven King's Original PET SEMETARY.
Marissa Tomei, rightfully so, won best supporting actress at the Oscars the next year. Also, I'm a recent subscriber but this is honestly the first reaction I've watched that wasn't Buffy or Angel. It won't be the last. Great job
You asked for more 90s comedies to react to. Well... THE answer to your request is "The Big Lebowski."
The Judge is Fred Gwynne, aka Herman Munster.
Fred Gwynne also costared in the TV show Car 54 Where Are You
I love your reaction to the perils of living in a small town and having things wake you up at all hours. When we were stationed at Fr. Bragg, N.C., our house was right under where the flight patterns for the planes and the helicopters crossed. All day, and all night, every day and every night. We got used to it after a while.
My favorite movie of all time!
Also, the same director did Greedy (1994) with Kirk Douglas. It's SO good. And the director plays the butler, lol. Don't read spoilers.
Marissa T. won the academy award for best supporting actress, and Joe P. was incredible in Goodfella's which is a true story about a guy who gets into the mafia as a teenager. Joe plays one of the hoods in it and it is incredible
What are you talking about w/ 'you can't fake that'?? It's literally her job to fake what she is doing right then, she just does it extremely well, which is why she won an Oscar.
The Judge was actually Herman Munster from the old Munsters TV show.
there's a reason Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for this performance; she absolutely knocked this performance out of the park!
A great Rom-com is the 1936 film "My Man Godfrey" starring William Powell and Carol Lombard.
Marisa Tomei Won the the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role.
First time I saw this movie was with a friend who is an attorney. He loves this movie. And, as a Southerner, I can tell you I like my grits with butter, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Butter, salt and pepper. No cheese.
The judge is Herman Munster from the tv classic sitcom “the Munsters”
This is my all time fav comedy. Its so good, and clever. That first jail scene had me rolling on the floor pissing myself. It was so well done.
You two make a great couple. Look at the reaction numbers -- shows you are well-liked in this community. Must be the lady's laughter.
Definetly should watch The Heartbreak Kid. Funny movie and Easy Money with Rodney Dangerfield.The judge is most famous for playing Herman Munster and in Car 54 Where Are You. Two classic tv series.Two of my favorite parts in this movie is first when the public defender is addressing the jury, in the background the reactions from Vinny's table are hilarious. Second, when he finally calls Mr. Tipton's name and the look Tipton gives him is absolutely priceless. Cracks me up every time.$200 in twenties would be more that half the size of that roll that guy is presenting, that's how Vinny knew right away he was scamming. One of the all time great comedies. Lastly no one was really a bad person, just doing their jobs and they immediately drop the charges when the truth comes out.
This movie is excellent and I think Marisa Tomei's Oscar for her role was so much deserved.
The joke was that the noise of the prison didnt bother him because he is from NY. So it was like being home.
I laugh every time Ralph Macchio says when he’s asked who the lawyer is and he responds with a heavy Brooklyn accent “ma cousin Vinny!” 😂
The great Fred Gwynne played the judge. I grew up watching him on tv as Francis Muldoon and Herman Munster. Although a NYC native, that southern accent was genuine, as he spent childhood summers in the deep south.
