Fun fact: Seth Green was either seventeen or forty-five at the time of this movie, and no one wants to ask
I was curious, so I looked it up. He was nineteen at the time, which explains why Wiley's awkward teen schtick seems more real than the preppy main character's.
Yea he looks exactly the same as he did almost 30 years ago I'm sure he's just a robot made by Cartoon Network
Do you actually think Hollywood would ever cast 40 something year old actor to play a high school teen in movies or television? Even parodies and satires of those types of flicks would rather have someone who is either as young as 18 or as old as 29 or 30.
I have seen it ages ago and couldn't remember how cringey the protagonist was, bleh
I lost it every time he cut to the guy with the nose brace. Holy shit 10/10
Warsmith Honsou same I see it and
I have to start laughing
Best character in the film.
To be honest, it's funny to me because the nose brace and plaid shirt on a guy who is tall and broad-shouldered with a burly build basically makes me think, "Jason Voorhees, the high school years." :P
@@loneronin6813 exactly what I thought haha
@@rohan750 I'm glad to see that I'm not alone on that one lol XD
Honestly the main character "i cant even walk in a hallway" joke could have actually worked had he gone to Australia. Because we drive on the left down here, we also keep to the left while walking and riding escalators etc. I actually collided with some people when I went to California just because its so subtle a change yet so completely engrained in your mind that you don't think to change where you're walking until there's someone practically on top of you.
Intresting, I just assumed everone walked on the right because most people are right handed and would faver that hand for railings and such.
@@bennettcarlson3974 exactly. Since most people on earth are right handed we should all do everything on the right. Drivers seat on the right. Drive on the right. Pass on the right. Walk on the right. Etc
@Bryan Butch Martin well let's not go crazy now, it wouldn't hurt to design things more ambidextrous
@@bennettcarlson3974 tbh, he didn’t go far enough. Stoves should only work on the right side. Toilet paper roll holders should only be on the right. Door knobs only on the right. Shoes should come as two right feet. Drive thru’s should be to the right.
The Surf Ninja scene was one of my most favorites from the Nostalgia Critic. "Bend your knees! Use your arms!"
David Kang I think most kids watched surf ninjas due to him being Keno
Derek Kunze He was even a stunt double in the first TMNT movie
Leopold Litchenstein
your right totally forgot about that!
GENIUS!!!!!
Wasn't Let there bè light also produced by the same guy who did Surf Ninjas?
"I dont get it, what's funny about that?" - I don't know man, but I've been sitting here, crying with laughter for 10 minutes straight, I just can't at that face omg
Pers Godiva good I’m not the only one
he was my favorite part of the movie when i saw this as a kid
Best character of the movie.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 don't you mean best character ever ?
Rosenblatt forever!!
Seth Green's haircut is EXTREME!!!
Sober Сossack yes
Your profile picture is EXTREME!!!
*EXTREME*
EXTREME-ly gay.
EXTREME-ly crappy!
Critic. The Aladdin cutaways were absolutely genius
Riff raff. Street rat. I don't buy that. If only they would look closer.🎵
5:23 my favorite part
Parents: "instead of bringing him with us to Australia and going to school there, we will send our son to some completely different place and make him go to school there!"
An environment he is more accustomed to? Er no. Australia differs greatly from the US. The difference would be much greater than that between any parts of the US. Not to mention that the school systems are wildly different. As someone who has moved schools repeatedly, including across countries, there is a good reason many families leave kids behind for short term relocations. Your education would be extremely disrupted. You will miss a lot, and struggle with following along in class as they have learned things you haven't. For 6 months that can easily be argued to not be worth it. He is not a very young child. He can handle being with relatives for a bit. It would be a complete waste of the year academically, and take work to get him caught up for the next year (a problem at his stage of schooling), and he would find the culture shock much greater. Many families leave their kids in boarding schools or with relatives in these situations. They are not abandoning them. To suggest so is a slap in the face to them, and those who actually do get abandoned. They make a call that their child will do better this way. There are pros and cons on both sides. They weigh them up and make a decision. I really don't think you have any understanding of the matters that come into play with such relocations.
@@DreamBelief By the logic of "He's not a very young child, he can handle being with relatives for a bit." He could also handle... I dunno... *being home alone*. The Actor was, for once, *actually* only 16 or 17 when it was filmed, so it's fairly safe to say that was his age. He can handle living alone at that point. And then you don't have to send him *anywhere*. It's not like he was shown as too irresponsible for the trust or anything. There was legitimately no reason for him to leave California if they really wanted him to stay in school.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to go to Australia because I'm a huge arachnophobe lol XD
@@DreamBelief What exactly is so different about schools in Australia though
@@SimonKnight1023 curriculum can vary greatly from country to country because kids sometimes start college sooner and are already taking courses specific to a planned major much younger than you would in the US. that being said, there are usually programs designed to help child expats adjust to new school systems so I think the kid would have been fine.
Hold up, stop, freeze, flag on the play. His parents somehow couldn't rationalize taking him to Australia for six months on the grounds that he couldn't miss that much school, never mind that schools do exist in Australia, yet decide to dump him in Cincinnati for the same amount of time? If they didn't want to take him that's all they had to say instead of going with such a bullshit and thinly veiled excuse. But no, that'd make too much sense.
Mom: George, we haven’t been able to fuck for like 5 years because of Mitchell, I need you to touch me
Dad: I know but I don’t know what we can do, we have to look after him y’know
Mom: Let’s just dump him with your brother for like 6 months while we go somewhere far away like Australia
Dad: But won’t Mitchell be wondering why we aren’t taking him with us?
Mom: Ok well let’s just make up some bullshit story about how we were selected to go there and study wombats or something and pretend like we don’t know there’s schools in Australia he can go to
Dad: Sounds good to me
*Sends Mitchell to Cincinnati*
*Parents proceed to fuck every single day while in Australia*
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t know taxes yet and still needs some form of parental guidance even if it is from the other members
Am I the only who thinks the main character reminds me of Denny from The Room?
+Sly Ngn He has the same hairstyle. Also, the kid from Grandma got Run Over By a Reindeer.
*****
It's as if Denny and Mark were put together
+FletchDog Is he dead?
+FletchDog NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME.....!
+Sly Ngn "Holy shit Denny is a creepy bastard."
Cinema Sins.
He's like a whiter, douchier, surfer dude version of Aladdin.
5:23 oh really
one of the many characters in movies and real life girls fall for for some reason
I'd rather see the backstory of the nose brace guy. Why does he wear it? Why won't he speak? I NEED ANSWERS!
they play hockey, it was a hockey accident
He's the Boba Fett of Airborne.
there's a sequel, he has a minor role but at least we get to know a little bit more about him.
Rocco siffredi No... just no. You’re joking right?
You’ll get nothing and like it!
Hey, so the audio after he says “watch it to this music” repeats and then is off by a lot. Not sure if its just me, I assume CA had to take out the song for copyright but something seems screwed up
Mine did that, too, and the audio has yet to resync with the video
It didn't fix itself until halfway through the confrontation on the date
yes they must have edited it here using the youtube editor? now the audio is so off it's goofy
Still doesn't work.
For anyone wondering he had Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper playing during the clothes montage
Are there a lot of high school students in their mid-thirties in Cincinnati? XD
As a native I can confirm and also deny this
It is pretty close to Kentucky.
Yes.
Actually that wasn't the peace sign. It was a covert symbol showing that he had beheaded a rabbit in the name of rock n' roll.
I thought it meant he could shear two rabbits with his figures.
AFoxInAviators well...of course
Here's what I think everyone is missing about the "puss-Out Speech".
Yes, not fighting the bully is the right thing to do. But however, Mitchell is not a pacifist as he claims to be.
He's a hypocrite. He purposely provokes these people and backs down and acts superior once they want to get physical. Not to mention he pulls one of the bully's pants down to humiliate them.
He's not a pacifist, he's a self-righteous hipster.
I went to a high school that was far-left (there were literal american communist party rallies) and that sums up most teenage "pacifists". Bonus point for alot of them claiming they were being persecuted for their beliefs when someone got pissed off at the teenage pacifists or kicked their ass after the pacifist provoked them.
You again
@@arthas640 Kind of like all those far-right people who go to the nazi rallies, call everyone snowflakes, and then cry themselves to sleep that their rights are being taken.
@@Kemanh200 Well, the are both so extreme that they have essentially become the same (in terms of what tactics they employ).
When I was in school, especially high school, I was bullied mercilessly to the point where sometimes they would start fights with me because they thought I would be an easy punching bag. For better or worse I fought back when I needed to and I also had a habit of getting involved whenever other people got bullied so I can honestly say I was not smart about it like I should've been.
I've always had a strong sense of justice and still do, so I can't stand to see other people suffer, so I have an instinct of sorts to watch other people's backs, but I don't say that to sound like some kind of badass. I'm just an idiot who doesn't learn in that specific instance. I don't like violence and I prefer to handle things diplomatically, but as I look back on that time of my life I do admit that I got so tired of being treated like crap (due to a disability mind you) that I was on verge of becoming a ticking time bomb and I was always worried that I would just snap and didn't know how I would respond or what I would do.
Luckily I did find perspective, but the fact that bullies and gossip mongers made my life a living hell to the point where I almost gave into suicidal depression wasn't helped by my anger that I developed. While I never became a bully myself, I didn't realize that I was giving in to what they wanted out of me. I was close to becoming someone I probably would've disliked if I were someone on the outside looking in, and I'm not at all proud of it.
I've never thought of myself as a pacifist and had no delusions of being one, so I'm glad to say that at least I wasn't quite as bad as this kid. Standing up to bullies is a good thing, being a pacifist can be a good thing too, but not when you aren't one and refuse to recognize it. Let's face it, I was an asshole for a while in response to the bullies who had always victimized me in cruel ways I don't think I will ever forget, even though I long since forgave those that did them to me because teenagers likely don't realize how messed up and scarring things like that can be unless it happens directly to them.
My point being was that at times I was little better if not no better, but at least I knew it and was able to turn away from a much darker path. This Airborne movie kid (I don't remember the character's name as dumb of me as that may be) is just an antagonistic douche who clearly doesn't realize or doesn't care that he is as much of an ass and a bully as the rest of them, just in a different way. He is the teenage me that I could've been if I stepped that one inch over the edge that I was living on, but he never learned to admit it.
So while standing up to bullies is a good thing, it shouldn't come at the expense of your own morals that you stand for or your sense of self in regards to compromising who you truly are in a negative sense. Stand up to bullies, but don't become one like this kid or like what I almost did in my teenage years.
This movie is so forgettable I even forgot this review existed! It's like new content!
***** OMFG I WAS THINKING THE SAME XD
***** i forgot about this two holy crap xD
***** u forgot "Extreme!"
Ikr
What movie?
A coward speech? Really? That scene would be a coward speech if he were standing behind an army, yes, but he was standing right in the bullies face, not backing down. He would've taken a hit, but he wouldn't have returned it. I think that's actually pretty badass. Being able to defend yourself makes you strong, yes, but personally, I shit my pants when someone doesn't even need to fight and just takes it.
You're bullshitting right...tell me you're bullshitting
The Drunken Coward First off, I just have to say how amazing your username is for the context of the video and your comment, I truly laughed hard at the coincidence. While I agree with you somewhat, there's a time and a place for self defense. A punch to the head if given hard enough can kill a person, especially some teenager with the muscle mass of a tic tac. He's a brave little shit, but if that bully hit him one too many times or just didn't stop, even I'd fear for his life. But again, it was pretty badass and courageous that he did that. XD
The Drunken Coward ... but it _was_ a coward speech because the movie decides not to commit to the message they had presented - hence making his little speech bullshit and clearly just an overconfident bluff for the main character pussing out.
+The Drunken Coward I agree with 50 percent of what the NC was saying. I don't think the speech is cowardly, but Jack seriously wants to kick his ass, do you really think that proud speech is going to stop him?
+Adam Kerdus It did
The lore of the Devil's Backbone
Once there was a hill, in medevil times, or the 50's, same thing to the youth of today. There was a really steep, long hill. They named it the Devil's Backbone because of how unsafe and deadly it was. However, as modernization came, the Devil's Backbone was built over, and DUUUUUUUUUUUDES of all ages where saddened that their favorite suicide hill was ruined. However, legend has it Sir.Skatesalot put his own blueprints in the MAN'S plans, and made the most subtle track inside the city it'self. A map by skaters was made of the full working of the NEW Devil's Backbone. No more was it a really shallow cliff, but a full on deathtrap. Only a total 7 Bros have survived it's clutches, all else died, or committed suicide with a sword over not getting to the end. Truly a hill of legend.
Or I just made this sh*t up. Either way, it explains SOMETHING.
I have lived in california my whole life and those ads are lies
You can say that again...
+Banter Board that again
Absolutly
I went there for my holiday a few years ago, and it looked like how the ads portrayed it.
Maybe you lived in the wrong parts of California. Oceanside is nice.

And he gets off the plane holding his surfboard on the airport runway. :facepalm:
TheOldTomster Tarmac or apron, not runway. Runway is where the plane takes off from, a poor place to park and deplane from. Tarmacs and aprons are where planes park.

oh. but you know what I meant though, so...

That first scene for Seth Green, he looks like Judy Funnie, from Doug
Stop trying to summon nostalgia critic man
LOL you're right he does.
😂Thank you! I so thought that when I first watched this review
@@__-dr5vm 🎶🎵dooo dooo dooo do doo🎶🎵🎵 😂😂😂
Don't you mean Seth Whatthehell?
Honestly, the main thing that always bugged me about this movie was that the dumb-ass brought his surf board to Cincinnati and left his skates in California.
The skates he owned and surf board he stole lol interesting what he chose to keep and chose to take
Seth Green in this movie looks more like a beatnik than a 90's kid
Well, on the GOOD side, at least those kids wore protective gear when roller skating. I know that sounds incredibly dweeby, but falling on your head at high speed...you're not likely to look terribly cool while drooling or eating chicken noodle soup through a straw.
Seth Green, in the meantime, looks like a live action Chucky doll.
Hmm...
If you fall on your head at high speed while wearing protective gear you're just as likely to suffer the consequences of what happen if you weren't wearing a helmet. Wearing a helmet is only really supposed to protect you from things falling on your head, such as stones.
+J Gillian Pedophile Killer Whaddaya mean "looks like"? >:)
+J Gillian Pedophile Killer It's not very 90s though is it?
AJA Ryan1994 lol wtf. The helmet protects you from impacts too
I totally forgot that Jack Black was in this movie.
+rvnender He probably either wants to forget or has already forgotten he was in it too.
+rvnender did you see arnold in that advert
I totally forgot this movie.
Where am I again?
I forgot about this movie and nostalgia review
Here's the thing about Ghandi kid, Ghandi's quotes regarding non-violence were strickly political in meaning. He also said "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." He also said "A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave."
You don't have to go out of your way to pick fights, but you have to stand up for yourself. Another bit Ghandi said:
"Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising, cowardice always is."
What love is Mitch showing? None. He clearly has great disdain if not hate for those bullies. When he didn't throw that hiss fit at them, he was trying to kiss their asses. He could have just ignored them. He knew that he'd be gone in a short time and if he felt they weren't worth it, he wouldn't have let it get to him, but it did. He didn't lash out physically, not because he's non-violent, but because he's a puss. That's why he tried to also ride on the seams of Ghandi's robe, to make it seem like he's got some virtuous cause when he doesn't.
Now some may bring up that Ghandi said: "You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result." with regard to my suggestion he could have just ignored the bullies. Well here's rule number one with all conflicts; Know your enemy. Bullies want to get a rise out of you, that is why they do what they do. There are only two ways to get rid of them; ignore them or stand up to them. Ignoring them will deny them the satisfaction of watching you squirm and they'll eventually get bored of it and stop. The moment you stop making it fun for them, they'll get tired of it. When you stand up to them, they may submit or back off. Especially when it comes to guys, people respect those with balls. Show no fear, do not attempt to reason with them and show them they should think twice before crossing you again. They'll only start wanting to fight if they think that you are weaker than they and if they have back up. They will not if you can convince them in some way that you are either on the same level as or stronger than they, especially if you get them alone. Do you exactly have to fight them physically? No, but again, you have to make it so they understand that bullying you is not fun because of the repercussions that come with it. You could even get your own back up like an adult. Some would say "Oh so they can taunt you for being a tattle tail and can't fight without help", well if you care about what they say, then you have bigger problems. Seriously, fuck em.
But again, from Ghandi "Oppose tyranny but never hurt the tyrant." You don't have to physically fight a bully to oppose them. Acting like you're trying to sleep with them is no opposing tyranny, it's laying on your back and begging for more punishment like some middle aged woman with a BDSM fetish after reading 50 Shades of Grey. Seriously, this kid was just ASKING to keep being bullied and mocked. You cannot reason with a bully.
And. "Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I advice violence." It's just like with Martin Luther King, both he and Ghandi opposed injustice openly even though they never struck back physically or violently. They knew they couldn't regardless because of their opposition. They knew it'd hurt their cause. They didn't try to seduce their opponents.
In closing I'll leave with this from Ghandi "There was a time when people listened to me because I showed them how to give fight to the British without arms when they had no arms ... but today I am told that my nonviolence can be of no avail against the (Hindu-Muslim riots) and, therefore, people should arm themselves for self-defense."
TheBelieveit1 I think you’re over analyzing it
I honestly believe you just came up with three weeks of a college-level philosophy class between this movie and your treatise here.
I read the first paragraph, how nice and thoughtful. I saw 50 more paragraphs and ... *skip*
That's very good insight.
I enjoyed the book.
The film ends there? What happened after they got together and then he went back? The "romance" is completely pointless.
Lobstromonous Entertainment As is the whole film.
Kyokamaru No, it's just stupid that they get together then he just goes back to California. What was the fucking point of this relationship? There's even a scene were he mentions leaving soon and she gets upset but then no one fucking cares.
12:00 Audio becomes stuffy.
12:20 Audio is desynced.
15:45 Audio is synced.
16:05 Audio becomes clear.
Thank you, was searching for this
As an Aussie I find his fantasy about Australia hilarious. The vast majority of us do not look like he imagines, and a massive proportion don't even live at the beach. If you're studying wombats (by the way, which? There is more than one species. You may as well say you're moving to Canberra to study bears, or are studying wolves) you likely won't be living in a coastal city. I just love imagining all those people coming here expecting this pervasive myth that we are all bronzed, slim and beachy types to be true and bring horrendously disappointed lol.
Yeah, most "golden tans" are tradies with that leathery, burnt looking skin from never wearing any sunblock. Our coasts are all expensive tourist areas. There's very little left about this country to romanticize about and it's being completely taken over by asians and indians.
wait, so instead of taking their son with them and having him go to school there in an environment that clearly he is much more accustomed to, as well as giving him the opportunity to be with his parents, they're choosing to drop him off in the polar opposite environment of what he was raised in and abandon him to people he probably sees for a total of five hours every six months or so all while they're alone together with what i can only assume is a ridiculous amount of money from being chosen specifically to move to another hemisphere.
Fuck the school excuse they just want a six month honeymoon in between work.
Nathan Deaton To be fair, he is a bit of an annoying tosser.
An environment he is more accustomed to? Er no. Australia differs greatly from the US. The difference would be much greater than that between any parts of the US. Not to mention that the school systems are wildly different. As someone who has moved schools repeatedly, including across countries, there is a good reason many families leave kids behind for short term relocations.

They weigh them up and make a decision. I really don't think you have any understanding of the matters that come into play with such relocations.
You also don't know much about scientific researchers in this field. They are not paid much (including those brought in from overseas). Given the years of study it is comparatively extremely poorly paid compared to other jobs with a similar amount of study.
@@DreamBelief No, you're thinking too realistically about this. Obviously, a person from California who likes surfing would find a much greater culture shock moving to a place where he couldn't do any surfing than one that he could do.
It's called fish out of water, dork.
I think the parents were just tired of not being able to have sex because they have a kid and so they sent him away and went on vacation somewhere else so they could do it non stop for the next 6 months
It's like Rocket Power the movie
Rocket Power was way better!
Did the video go weird for anyone else at the 12:00 mark? The audio goes bad and the the video seems to repeat then everything is off timing.
It went weird for me too.
Anyone else notice that the Audio and video start to get messed up from 12:00 to 16:00? Cant find one comment talking about it or mentioning it.
About the 'puss out' scene, I honestly think that it takes a bigger man to walk away from a fight than engage in one. Walking away from a brawl when someone else tries to instigate one with you, in my eyes, takes a lot more balls than throwing the first punch. You're basically telling the asshole who starts on you that you're not going to sink down to his level and you don't need a punch up to prove that you are better than him. This isn't being a coward, it's being smart. A coward is someone who is so up his own arse that he brags that he can take on anyone in a fight, and when person offers him a chance to prove that, he backs out as quick as possible.
+AJA Ryan1994 That's exactly what I was thinking!
In other words, you got your ass kicked a lot growing up.
Trey Warnock nope
Problem is Mitchell Is not a true pacifist.
He provokes the jocks and then acts morally superior when things are getting physical. That's being a coward.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 facts just like me
12:21 Hey Critic? It looks like your video is suffering from some technical problems.
You want to know what song is playing during the airport scene?
"What God Wants" by Roger Waters.
ROGER.
FUCKING.
WATERS.
RamtroStudios I feel I should know who he is. XD
TallMist
He was the lead songwriter in Pink Floyd.
RamtroStudios Oh cool. Didn't care much for their music, but they're definitely good. Just not my music. (Also, when I hear the name "Pink Floyd" I picture flamingos.)
Holy shit! You're right
RamtroStudios It was a joint effort from all four members until dark side, then it was a split effort from him and gilmour until the wall, and the wall is not a pink floyd album, it is a Roger waters solo album/ego trip bearing the pink floyd name.
When they say the race is down "Devil's Backbone", didn't Wiley say something about some guy trying to walk down it and got "messed up"? It was a stupid line because it's just a hill. The line made it like it was an MXC/Wipeout course.
Why is the audio all screwed up? Last time I watched the review it was fine.
So the main character isn’t okay with fighting in self-defense but IS okay with pantsing someone while they’re about to start a hockey game?
Well, I agree with a lot of what the Critic is saying here based on these few clips, but... That "puss out speech" as he calls it? I don't see how it's such a bad thing or how it makes him a pussy for not wanting to fight.
I'm willing to bet that he'd have called the film out on suddenly changing the character's nature by making him fight when nothing leading up to that point would indicate that it'd take so little to make him want to fight.
He baits people into physical aggression and backs down from said physical encounter and acts superior because of it.
Henry Kane From what I saw in this video in that scene, he was just hanging out with a girl he liked. How is that baiting?
pussy
Has anyone noticed the audio is out of sync after the "Girls just wanna have fun" montage scene was cut?

I had never even heard of Airborne before seeing this review but this is honestly one of the funniest Nostalgia Critic reviews I've seen. Nearly in tears! Amazing work guys!
duuuurrrrrrr
It is just a generic teen movie
it tastes like juicy fruit and capri sun
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but to be completely honest I never liked capri sun. As for juicy fruit, I loved it...for all of five seconds of chewing it :P
Wow, that character really is like the human version of a Disney Prince.
Except it's a Warner Bros film
This movie is so painfully generic, it actually hurts not only me, but also the 90's and anyone who grew up in it!
THE CRINGE IS REAL!!! DX
I was born in 1992, so that first eight years of my life I didn't have that much of an awareness of what was distinctively 90's save for that which was so obvious I would've have to have been a literal feral child to not recognize, but even I get where you're coming from on that one lol
12:10 You know how Teen Witch has been criticized for poorly depicting teen girls?
This is the turnabout. Now teen boys are being poorly depicted.
I find it ironic that he calls the main character half the boyfriends from Full House and a Disney prince and than plays clips from a Disney prince that was also a boyfriend on Full House. Whether it was intentional or not it is funny.
Intentional or not, it's not ironic.
Something happens with the sound at 12:40, but clears up around 15:47.....I've tried watching it on different devices, so I know its not on my end
Singers: "You'll show 'en you're a tiger! Show 'em what you can do. The taste of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes.... Brings out the tiger in you!"
Tony the Tiger: "And you! They're gr-r-r-r-r-r-r-reat!"
NC: does he always have a cowardly retort on standby?
"Hey man, let's pick Roses and skip"
That part made me crack up😂😂
Sit down and talk about this over a basket of fries or something.
Alright commenters, write the backstory to "my dad shot her". Go, do it!
"Wanna hear how my dad met my mom?" "Yea sure." "So my dad saw her working as a waitress at his favorite restaurant. He was working as one of those artsy photographers. He said 'you're very pretty can I take your picture'. She just said sure. So he grabbed his camera then my dad shot her it was weird."
His dad was a sniper and his mom was the sniper rifle so he shot her.
Extreme story bro 👍
So my dad was relaxing one night, but he heard something outside. So he went out to see what it was. And someone was rummaging in the can, it was actually my mom trying to find her credit card. But my dad didn't know at first. So my dad shot her, it was weird.
I ever tell you about Skippa? She was an Irish setter that we owned when I was eight, I used to play with her on the front lawn. Then one day she was digging through our garden and picked a fight with a skunk that was hiding there. We tried to break it up, but Skippa got bitten on the paw. It looked pretty bad, and my mom started yelling that Skippa would have rabies because of the bite. So my dad shot her, it was weird.
So, I am rewaching this reupload, and I just realized - crazy toast man from The Devil is in this movie :D Did anyone else noticed him?
JELLY SIDE DOWN!!!
JELLY SIDE DAWN
Half way through the movie you start thinking. Why the fuck is the movie called airborne ?
And you still are confused by why it is called Airborne by the end
Greatoverlordchikonmaster simple because the people who wrote the script wear high and thought they were flying
Guess it's because it sounds EX-TREME
Does the audio mess up for anyone else during the dressup scene? The "gimme your testicles" audio repeats, then the rest of the video is desynched, but resynchs right at the "puss out" speech.
I got that problem too
Yeah me too
I love Mitchell's attitude tbh. He's too chill and peaceful. I like that. That wasn't a ''coward'' speech at all either. He took his stance and didn't back down. Avoiding a fight is better than engaging in one.
+Abbas Khan His attitude strikes me more as arrogant and egotistical. Avoiding a fight when there are other ways of getting around a situation is better yes but still avoiding a fight when there's no other way around it but to fight is cowardice which is what Mitchell is. And having a superiority complex where he thinks he's better than everyone else because he won't fight yet he constantly provokes people into fights then backs down so he can brag about how much better than them he thinks he is is even more cowardly.
+Xehanort10 So what Im reading from all the comments is that he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
BTW, how's replacing me as a vessel going?
I like people who are calm and aren't fazed from being threatened by everyone around them. However, he's also smug. VERY smug. No one likes smug people.
But by not liking a smug person, doesn't that make them also to some kind of a smug ?? U shouldn't avoid or hate some1 who is smuggish, every1 is how he is, no 1 should be hated or avoded for bein a bit strange of self centered, we can't control that, some1 who is a smug doesn't do that on purpose i think,
it is just him, PERSONALITY is the key word, so,, i dont think its purpose if it is a personality thing...
No. Not liking smug people doesn't make you smug. No one likes smug people except other smug people. Being full of themselves and thinking they're better than everyone else is not a positive personality trait. Smug people do do it on purpose. They could control it by being more humble and realising that they're not better than everyone else. Smug people should be avoided and hated as a rule as should self centred people who think the world revolves around them. And if his smugness is part of his personality then it is on purpose.
One thing I didn't get about this movie... If he was so into surfing and wanted to get back to it, why didn't he go skate/snowboarding? While it's not exactly the same, it's pretty close that I think he could've satisfied his bizarre kink.
I had the exact same thought, like yeah he loved surfing but as someone who grew up in Oregon but went to highschool and college in Ohio (similar to this guy) there were tons of skate parks in Ohio back then he could’ve went skateboarding at.
The Aladdin stuff was BRILLIANT! XD
This move is a work of art.
In the second half of the video the sound is completely out of sync.
I’m surprised he hasn’t done mighty ducks. Oh 90s nostalgia 😄
19:09 wtf happened to the red haired kid
+kembo white omg!
He realized how terrible the movie was that it snapped him back to reality!! LMAO XD
I think he slipped. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
This has major audio glitches in the middle now after the "I'm too sexy scene".
I knew I wasn't the only who noticed that
Jfc I had to scroll down way too much to find this comment to finally confirm that I wasn't the only one. It repeats the section two times and then you hear a muzzled "girls just wanna have fun", and after that it is out of synch... Was really unsure if I had a unique glitch on my paet because nobody else was talking about it.
it broke the internet
extreme deep
tried to say that to my gf she broke up with me
Something is wrong with the video. The timing on the audio is off halfway through when the Critic starts talking about the clothes montage
Being a meat bag is the only way you can have friends. The ultimate commercial of all.
When Nostalgia Critic reacted to the dressing up montage. God i'm dizzy from laughing so much XD
But what's with the weird editing?
What are these errors in these older videos? What the hell is going on?
Airborne: The Rad (1986) of the '90s.
As opposed to a wombat of any other nationality? Literally all species of wombats live in Australia movie!
You need to re edit this. Part of the sound is out of synch.
9:30 really got me 😂
Is it just me, or is the audio and video screwed up around the 13:00 time frame?
yeah...I noticed that too...around the 12:20 mark it replays the previous 10-20 seconds and the desync continues from there
Yeah it really messed up
What's up with it after the 12 min mark it's weird the audio doesn't sync right
12min to like 16min
Jack Black is hidden in a lot of movies. I didn't know him until Jim Carrey's the Cableguy.
Did the audio get off synch for anyone else?
Fix audio please
Not that i have a thing against the main character being a pacifist. But that smile looks like he's baiting them.
+Patrick Donnolley That's because he IS baiting them. He's not a pacifist. It's just an act he puts on to get out of beatings whenever he provokes people.
Xehanort10 Actually your right. The main character is an even bigger prick than i thought. He's abusing the whole refuge in audacity trope because no guy in their right mind would take on this pansy.
+Xehanort10 Thank you.
Henry Kane You're welcome.
Yikes on the audio.
12:44 copyright strikes again
Sounds broken after this
"Because there are no schools in Australia!"
You know, I feel sorry for this kid. He could've had a life-enriching experience abroad if only his stupid parents realized that there are schools in Australia. Instead he had to go to Cincinnati. Oh, well.
Yeah, that's quite the no-brainer.
More like a life-ending experience when he gets bit by a funnel web spider that was hiding in his shoe, or by an eastern brown snake that was hiding in his bed, or steps on a stonefish that looked like a rock on the beach, or gets stung by a sea wasp floating invisibly in the water. Moral of the story: Never go to Australia because the wildlife there WILL kill you.
I think the reason he couldn't go to school in Australia is because the school year starts and ends in different months, due to the seasons being the opposite.
Not gonna lie, my friend and I are much bigger fans of this movie than anyone should be. I guess bc it came out when we were in late elementary school, so to us...this was awesome shit. We know it's bland and kinda schlocky...but it's our schlock, lol
You're not alone
I first saw this as a kid on one of those last night movies that played at like 2am on local tv in the 90s
I loved it right away and the thing race was so badass ☆
I honestly still love this movie for what it is
3:22 her name is not Mrs. Incredible; it’s Elastigirl, you heathen!
15:05
Honestly, Critic, you're totally in the wrong here. Our pretty-boy protagonist did the right thing by not escalating this fight, and attempting to use his words. He then called out the bully on his bad behavior, and understood he had nothing to prove, nor anything to gain, from engaging in barbaric fisticuffs.
So, yeah, props to Mitchell. He's actually a really cool guy.
As someone who grew up being bullied mercilessly for being different (due to disability) it's always better to talk things out but not back down when someone treats you badly. You can face down your bullies without resorting to violence. However, I was often attacked because my bullies thought I would make for a decent punching bag and I had to fight in self-defense, which is only one of two reasons there is to fight, the other being in defense of someone else. I've done both and I will always do the same, but to resort to violence outside of that only brings more trouble and more attention to yourself, thus bringing more bullies.
It's a dangerous road to go down, so to see Mitchell stand up without further escalation is admirable to say the least. In that scene, Jack is still looking to engage, but not in a way that makes him look like the bad guy, for lack of a better term. What I'm getting at is that he could easily just start a fight without so much as a word or warning (like what I dealt with when I was in school, especially high school and my early college years) but he is still looking to grandstand and contest. Mitchell seems to recognize that Jack isn't just looking to beat him down, but to indulge his own pride and play the tough guy in order to stroke his own ego.
Noticing this, Mitchell plays it off as cool as he can, keeping a level head. When that doesn't work, he bravely but nonviolently stands up for himself and denies Jack the confrontation that satisfies his need to grandstand. It's essentially claiming a different kind of victory. If you ask me, Nicky comes across as rather shallow if she turns Mitchell away because he isn't partaking in some show of force. I don't know if that's the reason here given the video is a review that cuts out certain parts of the scene and doesn't provide full context as a result.
If that is the reason, then Mitchell would be better off without her. Something I learned a long time ago is that if a girl expects you to fight for her (be it a literal fight or just competition with another guy for her affection) then she isn't the kind of woman worth fighting for. If someone is looking for a fight but they haven't just jumped you, don't give in and don't let them have their fun. Call them out and walk away peacefully with your head held high, knowing that you're the bigger person for it.
Although the attacks I dealt with growing up were in self-defense, there was one situation not unlike the one in this movie between Mitchell and Jack. One guy I knew always talked big to people that he wanted to fight me and that he could kill me, so one day I got off the bus at his stop instead of mine and told him that since he was always boasting about beating me up then he was welcome to do it without resistance from me. He then started saying to everyone that he wasn't going to beat up someone with a disability and then went home in shame and fear.
I don't know if he thought I was baiting him or something, but my calling him out actually got a couple of my bullies to lay off of me for a little while, although not permanently. My point in mentioning all of this is that if you can still find a way around fighting and giving in to ego or pride then you've already won.
Yeah, while the review is still funny, the Critic's views on handling conflict are pretty outdated when this came out.
Choosing to not stoop to someone's level and fight them but instead try to resolve the issue peacefully is obviously the right thing to do. I feel like maybe the reason Doug hates Mitchell so much is because he doesn't seem like a real character.
One of my fav movies from the 90s.. Don't judge me
Omar Enrique No, you will be judged,
Omar Enrique I will judge you.
Lmao
Omar Enrique What's there to judge? The 90's was full of shit anyways.
21:58 is all you need to know
Umm is it just my phone or is this review messed up
It's the review, definitely.
What is wrong with the video?
Yo what's up with audio around 11 mins mark? Like lots of fades and your voice turns all hollow.
Edit: It ends before the 14 mins mark but dude it gets bad.
Michel actually did what was right in that part of the movie. Why would he fight? It would fix nothing. A real man only fight when he protects himself or someone else and only as a last resort. A primitive and stupid brute soloves all his problems by beating on them.
Not gonna lie I have fond memories of this movie. It was on of my favorite blockbuster rentals of the 90s. It's so lame it's awsome.
The actor who portrayed Mitchell nowadays he's a realtor and painter.
As someone who lives in Cincinnati they messed up at the end with the race on Devils Backbone. That is a real street here but they didn't even use that street for filming
At 7:00 it's a reference to james dean and the kid is dressed like jim stark from Rebel With out a cause which is a movie james dean is in
Much respect for including the full Juicy Fruit tune instead of just the first two measures.
19:56 6 years later, rewatching this and holy F is that Michael Peña?
"take a sniff
pull it out
the taste is gonna move ya
when you pop it in your mouth"
.... this.... this is art....
You can't tell me they weren't giggling like 10 year olds when they wrote that jingle
