Damon's acting isn't talked about enough in this movie. His ability to mix the sillyness and jokes with intimate moments where he potrays Payne's love and pride for his young troops is what makes this such a classic.

I use that exact line when my kids do something wrong. My daughter's was watching the movie with me and at that scene she turned to me and yelled "That's where you got it from!"
"One, don't you feel dumb! Two, look at you! Three, you ever talk about me behind my back again ill stomp you in the ground!" One of the best parts in a comedy ever.
As a Marine, this (along with Full Metal Jacket) is probably one of the most accurate depictions of Marine Corps Drill Instructors I have ever seen. Most of them are very funny but are true hard chargers about the Corps and serving in the military. I wish they would do a part 2!
Well, Full Metal Jacket drill instructor was a real drill instructor. I personally wouldn't want a part 2 at this point because they are probably going to frag it up. I would like a movie in this style however.
What I love about Payne is that, HE has a limit on what to do a kid/teen. And later on when you see the way Alex's step father treats him. Payne steps in between them and says one of my favorite lines in the movie: "If you hit the kid again. I'll do more than salute you".
That's also why Alex wasn't totally afraid to be hit by Major Payne, he put up with it enough at home, he figured "eff it" I think that's also why Alex can't stand Payne, he originally sees him as another bully.
I'd say because the overall movie was as shallow and one dimensional as 99% of all others "class doesn't want to behave, so they hire someone that earns their respect and later they like them"-movies. But then again, we talking Hollywood. And Hollywood has lost It's magic years ago.
I could see a sequel now where maybe one of the kids in this movie is grown up and having problems with their in a military school and they call Sargent Pain in help with a new generation
One of the best scenes in comedy ever! I love how Stone is willing to take the punishment for the whole squad and is the guy everyone naturally turns to when the chips are down, so these reasons are why Major Payne decides to make him squad leader instead of Dotson. Plus, when we see that Dotson just shouts at the cadets and is always trying to please the superior officer (up until the dress punishment), it is clear that Dotson is no true leader.
He willingly took punishment but got rewarded for courage. He wasn’t afraid to face Payne but cared about his crew more than what he thought he had coming.
2:35 - Something that some people might miss: Payne is a trained military soldier. In war he has permission to use whatever means necessary to achieve his objective; such as striking enemy soldiers, killing enemy soldiers, etc. But here he's up against a civilian, so the rules are different. He cannot use physical force, except as a means of self-defence. So when he insults Bam Bam Bigelo the Biker, he gets the exact result he was hoping for, which is why he seems happier afterwards. He now is legally allowed to strike back. 6:09 - And as you find out later on, Stone can stand before even someone like Payne, and be completely unafraid of receiving physical abuse. But then of course, even after all the bad-ass shit you've seen Payne do throughout the movie. Even the stuff that could be considered downright sadistic; he's still unwilling to hit a child.
Another thing they miss. While he's most likely not one. A lot of Bikers are former military. Hell's Angels started out as former WWII Pilots. So needless to say Stone would have had to find one that didn't serve because the others would have said no. Not just out of respect for the military, but a lot of them at this point are 'Nam Vets, they probably served along side Payne personally in the war while he was serving or at least know him and his batshit reputation. While Bikers are tough MFs, even they know better than to mess with Payne without cause.
@Shanethefilmmaker and they would have told Stone that there is a method to Payne's madness. Like, we all hated getting screamed at in Basic, but overall, it teaches you how to handle being overwhelmed as best you can
Something that was subtle was Alex stone's arc. He started out as a trouble maker and a rebel but with Major Payne as his commanding officer he becomes a leader and proves many people can be leaders no matter what background they had
He wanted to become their common enemy and have them work as a team. That is why he switched leaders he wanted their true leader instead of the brown noser.
@@zeaferjones1404 100% but we gotta be careful about saying that in real life for bad leaders though. heard people use that for one of the guy under mad dog back when Saddam was still alive and free. they had a guy enforcing grooming regulations and dress regs to the point his preferences. He still treated it like they were law rather than just his Peeves and they were still in country rather than on fobs in a shooting war. that same CO got busted for being a chomo and for a bunch of other scummy stuff. Sometimes good COs are just following broken window theory and/or giving men a common enemy but other times they are just scum tripping on power. saw a lot of good men get messed up because leadership couldn’t catch the hint that maybe it would be best for them to turn a blind eye while the sausage gets made.
Damon Wayans was so convincing as a bad ass in this movie and he of course was hilarious as usual. The writers should also be commended for incredible dialogue on this movie. While I would consider this movie in the genre of stupid comedy for teen/pre-teens. There are only a few other comedy movies I've re-watched as much as this one. It really holds up and has been continued to be funny through dozens of viewings.
it never dawn on me how tall damon is in real life. Bigelow isn't a small man. he no giant but he not someone you call tiny and they nearly match the same Height

One of truly most underrated movies !! Never get bored to watch it whenever is on. True gem. Good performance from all the characters. And yes, Bam Bam rip. Another great wrestler gone too early !
There was no doubt Stone was rough around the edges but he definitely showed his willingness to put his teammates ahead of himself even if it meant him getting expelled. That's character and integrity.

I loved this scene as a kid!
He was a wrestler appeared in Major Payne FEE FI FOO FUM WHAT BEANSTALK YOU EALL FROM 😂😂 THE SECOND LINE WAS MY FAVORITE WHEN HE SAID "I THOUGHT YOU NOT GONNA HIT ME IN THE FACE WHAT YOU CALLING ME A LIAR" 😂😂😂
Too many lines to quote this whole movie is 🔥
"Whats your name Bushwick Bill", "no let me guess you Snoop Diggitity Dogg". Lmao 👌🏽
One of the best comedies, love this movie.

I love how one of the Cadets looks like he's in his mid-twenties.
This is one of the best movies EVER.
I agree, they just don't make them like this anymore.
This is one of my favorite movies, ever!!!!! Brilliant!!!!!!! There's got to be someone needing a little Killin!? I'm sorry there is no one left! You've killed them all!
When Payne took his left foot across his leg and the biker guy fell I thought it would be a earthquake😂😂😂Bro was huge
That was the late Bam Bam Bigelow from WWF, now WWE
Its definitely time for a sequel

Actually, if the biker was a vet. they would've had a beer together. This is one of the best comedies ever!
One of my favorite movies. Damon does really good acting.

I wish they would have made Major Payne II
I liked this movie
This movie might have the most/really good one liners in movie history
"And what's your damage muscle head?! You slow, stupid or just plain deaf?!" "Yes Sir, he actually is deaf." "Do you read lips?" "Let me break it down for ya bra, if you don't answer me when I speak to you, I'm gonna put my foot......... " dang they should have made a part 2 to this!
Love this movie. Grew up watching it and it brings back good memories 🥹
This movie is beautiful. I loved it.
"You callin me a lair"😂
I loved this movie in my childhood. And now i am 42 and still love this movie.
17 year old me in Basic Training way back in Nineteen Eighty-[mumble] just seized up a little bit when Payne says, "Ah gonna make you boys **strong** ..." lol!
“SQUAD!!!! ATTEN-hut” 😂 I literally stayed in ROTC at my HS to make Captain just to say that line every morning 😂😂😂
