- Siskel: "Four sequels today, four lousy movies." Also, Missing in Action 2 and Siskel solo review of 'Ladyhawke' (reviews begin 2:32)
they're in a profoundly goofy, good-natured mood this episode. it's such a treat, watching two witty, funny _smart_ people get in a conversational groove like this.
In an episode about horrible movies very funny
They knew going into it that there wasn’t going to be any serious film review involved.
Despite many attempts by other teams, and Roger teaming up with others after Siskel's death, no review team ever came close to replicating the conversational and humorous chemistry between these two guys. This was lightning in a bottle, never to be recaptured. Glad to have been watching them when they were doing their thing.
Roger did a good job with Richard Roeper, I thought. I think what helped with this show was the fact that they burned off many episodes on PBS to build up their chemistry. They sucked at the beginning.
ROPER IS BLAND. SRSLY ROPER IS LIKE VANILLA WAFERS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONFECTIONARY SHOPPE. ROPER JUST WANTED THE GLORY WITHOUT PUTTING IN THE WORK (EXAMPLE = FUCKING OPRAH) LIKE EBERT DID.
BTW GROWING UP DID Y'ALL ALSO THINK "EBERT" WAS ANOTHER WORD MEANING "FAT" ??
Well, it took years to build, remember that.
Watching this episode, I was thinking how sad it is but they are no longer here. I miss them very much. They were great for reviewing movies
You're absolutely correct! Did anyone EVER really care at all about movie reviews until these two teamed up? They had the highest rated show on PBS until moving on to more lucrative pastures. Still, their show, regardless of its name or location on the TV dial, was priceless. Their interactions with each other were half the fun, while their reviews were insightful, humorous, and entertaining. There will never be another duo to replace them. They are truly timeless.👍
Siskel & Ebert were much more entertaining than a lot of the movies they reviewed. They were always insightful and hilarious. R.I.P. Roger and Gene.
And RIP Jason.
Gene and Roger talking just at the beginning is so funny. And now they are in heaven together seeing only good stuff.
Can't help hoping they give a few bad reviews in Heaven because their bad reviews were always hilarious.
I miss these guys so much.
14:00 What an astute critique of the Vietnam War movies of the 80's: There's a need for Americans to see that we won the war that we lost in real life.
There really are no critics like this today.
The exchange at 10:35 is one of the best.
Now I saw all of these movies when I was twelve years old and with the exception of Porky's Revenge, I liked every one of them! Like I said, I was twelve years old. God, I miss Siskel and Ebert.
Well, how do you feel about them now?
@@sha11235 there still good movies.
My dad took me and my sisters to see it for Easter
@@White_Tiger2169 What's "it"?
👍👍
"I sat through every disgusting frame of this film...twice." I did not expect that and I my tummy hurts from laughing.
YES....is this movie bad? probablly.....but its funny :)
I'm loving the old school commercials!! Thanks for leaving them in!
Me too, I was in high school April of 85. God where did 35 years go?!?! Good memories.
Adverts left in because they have no idea how to edit, the beginning proves that.
We needed more. And more of those 80s TV station (read: affiliate) headers/titlecards
I was already working as a Broadcast Engineer when Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter was released. As a commercial for it aired, after "...the final chapter" line I said to the other engineer on duty "not if this one makes money. We'll get Part V - A New Beginning or A New Chapter." Well, I was right.
POST OF THE YEAR!
The movie we know as “Missing in Action 2” was supposed to be the first Missing in Action movie. The first and second movies were shot back to back, and the producers thought the first one didn’t have enough action and would bomb and kill the franchise. So, the producers decided to release the second one first, then release the initial first part as a prequel. Cannon Films was a weird studio.
I miss 1985 so much. These videos fill me with nostalgia.
You shouldn't have rode the bomb then, Dr. Strangelove!
I love these old commercials, too. 2020 sucks so bad, even the COMMERCIALS were better 35 years ago!
Daaa Bearssss
Deepness alert: Siskels comment about the need for people to see Vietnam-based pictures where we win, and how sad that is. oomph
My favorite reviews are when they both really hate a movie. Gene's laughing fit at the beginning was great.
Bill Vassar I like the “Dog of the Week” segments at the end of their earlier show Sneak Previews. You can find a lot of those old ep on IMDb.
I would love to go back in time and relive my life, starting around 1985 would be fine. 8 years old, but knowing what i know now
Mateo I was -2 at the time.

@Ember Enfierno you'd be able to boss that puss at age 8. Plus think about all the 13-17 girls you'd be able to run game on with your mind being in your 30s-40s... And it wouldn't be statutory!
I was 6 in 85
Just looking at the lineup, I knew this was gonna be a rough one for our boys. 😂
The sad thing is, in 1985 this probably was't a great week at the movies. In 2019, all of these films are probably way better than the releases most weeks.
Police Academy 2 was decent.
This is every week at the movies now.
I disagree - at least some of these movies are somewhat original scripts. Now, I find myself asking 'what's the Star Wars movie that's coming out THIS week? What number are we up to in the Fast and Furious franchise? Or as comedian Chris D'Elia said: "Hey Marvel! How do you know when you're making too many movies? When you're making fucking Ant Man!'
@@Genious. Honestly, Ant Man was pretty good. And Ant Man 2 was awesome.
@@Genious.
Ah yes, because when I think of originality I think of... *reads notes* ... Porky’s Revenge and Friday the 13: Part V...
@@TooCooFoYou absolute crap.
Yep and that's why I don't bother with the movie world anymore I just think of what's important for me now instead
These ads on youtube are out of control! They're playing ads from 1985!!
Reverend Benzo ‘Doritosss...’
I remember my catholic CCD teacher talking about Porky’s Revenge.
Before internet.. I grew up in and miss those times.. “DON’T YOU KNOW THE DEWY DECIMAL SYSTEM??”
I miss them....rip.
YOU MISS EBERT #DONTLIE
Me too.
8:20 lmao, that transition to the Keebler commercial made me think it was the outside of the hut for a split second.
The test signal at the beginning of the video scared me.
Me, too. Yikes.
Roger Ebert really looked like Peter Griffin here.
😀😀🙂
What Siskel and Ebert never understood about the Friday the 13th movies was the experience, and the era. In those times, it was about taking or meeting your teenage girl to the movie. It was kind of a right of passage. A few smiles, her grabbing your arm when Jason was around, and a few laughs with other friends, and strangers due to the dumb moves people made in the film. Getting dropped off by your parents, sneaking in, meeting girls at the mall, and seeing Friday the 13th. If you experienced that as a kid, you know why the movie had appeal.
But as movies, they sucked
Halloween and Scream have shown that you can have both that AND a good movie.
@@yournamehere6002 Agreed
*rite of passage
@@yournamehere6002 I spent too many nights doing what I wrote above, instead of studying. 😅
ATTACK OF THE REVENGE OF THE RETURN OF THE SEQUELS, PART TWELVE!!!!
Dane Youssef ...The sequels Strike Back in Los Angeles.
Man, I loved these commercials
Don't miss Gene's review of LadyHawke @ 31:00
28:23 Siskel talks about how impressed he is by the directors who turn down directing F13th sequels, only for the next director to come along and make Friday The 13th VI: Jason Lives. It is arguably the best F13th sequel in the franchise, and it wouldn't exist had writer/director Tom McLoughlin hadn't come along with his own ideas on the direction the series would go.
He turned Jason from a bland, mindless killer, into an unstoppable, intimidating killing machine who wouldn't fall for any of the tricks that he fell for in the previous movies. It was meta a full decade before Scream came along and made meta movies mainstream. It just goes to show you that in the hands of a GOOD director, a stale franchise can be rejuvenated and the sixth entry in the series can surpass its previous films.
I thought he meant all sequels, like the ones on the show here. On Worst of 90 he said something similar to that.
9:21 Don't dismiss this one. This event was a big deal. It completely changed the game.
Not gonna lie, that Police Academy clip was pretty funny 😂
That was a pre-Wonder Years Jason Hervey, whose bratty kid act was much funnier than the "punchline" of the scene IMO.
The whole movie wasn't bad
@@Abr022575 was horrible!
I enjoyed Friday 13th one through five.
They all had the same feel to them. The overall tone changed in Part 6.
@@Danimal77 Four was great just because George McFly is in it.
I dont give a shit what you like
@@gazjones3549 what do you like, Gaz?
6 is the best one. 3 is pretty good too.
Thanks for leaving the commercials feels like I went back in time
Yup.
There aren't that many commercials here.
At least they agree that Michael Winslow is the best part of Police Academy
so glad to of stumbled upon this You tube rabbit hole.
There is actually a website where you can see these.
I loved when they had the skunk.
Was it a real skunk?
I'm trying to remember where I read about Aroma the skunk biting Roger Ebert on his thumb during a take. In a fit of rage, Ebert picked the Skunk up, bit his head off, spitting it out, and flung Aroma's headless corpse down the aisle, while Gene stared in horror. I read it just now, as I was typing this paragraph. I knew I'd remember.
@@sladevader3478 Yes, they just removed the bladder of the skunk so it couldn't attack them.
At least they now see great films all the time in the afterlife.
Thanks for uploading this, Jpo.
If you have any more of these Siskel & Ebert episodes, I'd love to see them. I loved these two and this show.
Go to siskelebert.org for the most complete collection. The few full episodes I have uploaded were during the time that site was down.
Roger's critique and Gene laughing....smile
Loving the old 80s commericals
“There’s no way Porky’s 3 is gonna be good. No way! Can’t happen!”
And today we have "not so great" and "so-so" films winning Academy Awards
That title card is epic
Gene: I don't get out of the car and stand over the body cavity"
George Carlin : I do!
Thank you, S&E, for pointing out that people don't "hit the trampoline" when a bomb goes off. More often their arms and legs go off. Sorry to be so graphic. War movies have always romanticized combat, but I've known guys who fought in Viet Nam, and they didn't all come home intact.
Post-credits begins at 2:33
Thanks for that loooong, beebing tone at the beginning, mate xD thanks for the upload though :)
Siskel was so pretentious, but at least made up for it with a sense of humor.
At least these two had more chemistry than most online critic shows. The closest comes from Red letter Media
Yeah, but he did have an appreciation for movies that were really good like beavis and butthead, beauty and the beast, mask of the phantasm and star wars
@@NefariousDreary Yes, real avant garde cinema. 😂
@@ricardocantoral7672 daaaaamn right 😉
I laughed my butt off when they reviewed Friday the 13th V. Omg was Ebert especially funny!
These commercials are fantastic
Great job, Whoever edited this.
Are You Joking?
I thought it was police story 2, for a second!
Among audiences, interest in the categoies of movies to which the *Friday the 13th* and *Porky's* sequels belonged was on the way down by 1985. Teenage fantasies were beginning to be catered to more strongly by the likes of films such as *Ghostbusters* and *Back to the Future,* whilst John Hughes was crafting very successful teenage romances that relied on something other than sex to gain their appeal; for instance, Hughes' *The Breakfast Club* was released a month earlier and proved to be far more successful than the *Porky's* installment that was reviewed here. Also, as far as Paramount Pictures was concerned, audiences of that time were beginning to be a lot more interested in seeing Eddie Murphy (who was under an exclusive contract to the studio) than they were in seeing Jason Voorhees.
Ebert can not have seen part 5 if he says that nothing is different from the earlier Friday the 13th movies. It may play out exactly like the other ones but it isn´t even Jason going on berserk. I don´t say it was great. But if you watch the entire movie you know that the killer is not Jason at all in the end. Proof that they didnt see the movie.
"Police Academy 7; Mission to Moscow," was one of the entertainment industry of the 80's rare deep sequential films that actually turned out to be pretty good lol especially in contrast to its predecessors, 3 through 6.
Part 4, "Citizens on Patrol," including a young David Spade and Tony Hawk, made that one slightly better than any of the following ones though. (xcept of course part 7.) 👍
Part 7 was just released minimally in theaters in 1994 and did no business. People were tired of seeing this franchise and it has never been revived.
Missing in Action 2 is not a prequel, it's actually the first film. Cannon knew that the "first" was better so they decided to reverse the order of these films.
Very funny episode of this two. Well, bad movies can give us good reviews. This reminds the old "Dog of the Week" specials! The description of Friday 5 is so funny that Gene can't stop laughing! 24:27
It's horrible what happened to R.Ebert.Cancer should never be aloud to take a man's life like that!
Siskel too ... and at a younger age.
This is the best Cisco neighbor show I've seen in all of them they are real real funny especially their review of Friday the 13th part 5 a new beginning which I thought was the best of all the Friday the 13th movies because of all the violence in it more dead bodies in that movie than any movie of the Friday the 13th series like them or not Cisco neighbor they were the best reviewers on TV and entertaining in their own way funny very funny this episode is their best one like I said Friday the 13th part 5 a New beginning was just shockingly funny by them very very funny
God, I miss these guys. :(
Interesting that they only showed one big clip from PA 2.
Ebert was on fire in this episode. lol
That Crispix commercial is fucking hilarious
They're watching these movies as critics, which they are. Teens are going to these movies to get the hell away from their parents on a Friday night and hang out with their friends. If these movies required any thought, it would be too much effort for the hanging out experience.
The doritos ad is too 80's even for the 80's.
Roger knew better than to insult Chuck personally😅
It's the Bridge ON the River Kwai Roger, and furthermore, Chuck Norris doesn't have Bear hands, he has gorilla hands.
the theme music is just tremendous
Gene is totally stoned. 🤣
YOU'RE READY NOOOWWWWW, MISTERRRR!!!
That Doritos commercial is so 80s! I was 23 then and life was good.
4:30 He must be proud of me too. I saw sex and the city and it's sequel. Also the t.v show.
God what i'm doing with my life.
Forgot about LadyHawke. Police Academy movies are a bit underrated, especially 2.
porky's the 13th
Police Academy 2 is hilarious
wow these ads - bring me back to the time. geez. omg crispix!
2:31 Reviews start here.
Oh I can't wait!! ...lmbo
Jokes on them. They balk at Police Academy 2 and had to sit through SIX MORE!!!
And seven more Friday the 13th movies!
No, they sat through 2 more because that was all they reviewed on their show.
How about the Doritos commercial
I miss these guys.
Film criticism is not the same
The kid in the Police Academy 2 clip is the older brother from The Wonder Years, isn't he? At least someone went on to have some success after being in that one, lol.
Yes Jason Hervey
Jason had a banner year there. He was in PA2, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and Back to the Future. Then the next year he was in Back to School.
If Roger hates a movie, fine, but he shouldn't make up stuff about one. No one in Friday the 13th 5 goes skinny dipping knowing where is a killer on the loose. Not in any of the other ones either.
If only they'd known that the director of Friday The 13th: V was actually a hard core porn director and the original cut of the movie had to be secretly re-edited behind mr director's back just so they'd have something they could actually submit too the mpaa for a rating.
He did 1 or 2 softcore porn films in the early 70s , I wouldn't say he was a hardcore porn director. By the 80s he had moved into low budget exploitation films
How did you happen upon the broadcast tape?
I don't remember. Probably from a video-sharing site other than UA-cam.
Who’s the actress in the hidden valley ranch commercial?
Siskel was wrong how the first Police Academy movie was raunchy and the same continues in part 2. It seemed for the most part they toned down the raunch in the sequels
Pretty much. The first one was rated R, and I don't think Warner expected it to be such a hit with grade school kids. But since they discovered this was their best bet as repeat customers, they pivoted and toned down the material to keep the kids coming back.
@@75aces97 I seen the first 7 movies like 1-2 times each in the 80s, so a few years ago i re-watched part 1 since i had it free on some streaming service and I was like wow I don't remember the series being that raunchy
@@WhatAboutThemApples I saw the first 4 either in the theater, or many times between home video and cable airings. I've only seen 5 and 6 in the past year, still haven't seen 7.
I'd forgotten the first was rated R until someone reminded me in recent years. It's just that we got more gratuitous nudity in the 1980s and took it for granted. I don't think most movies of that time hold up all that well, but I do miss that. 😁
4:51 Gene saying the original Police Academy was released in 1983! I can't believe it!
Yeah, a mistake I also mentioned.
Seriously? Were the 1980s Friday the 13th movies really that bad or hated back then? I use to watch these with my older brother and sisters because they were teenagers at the time. But Siskel and Ebert were really acting like beta men here.
You're probably a fan of HIV and its sequel AIDS.
It's Sad and I would add pathetic: Missing in Action, Rambo, etc.
That Crispix commercial was really confusing. What were they even talking about?
Never knew ranch dressing could sound so sexy
So basically they don't like any Friday the 13th movies.
I saw Police Academy 3 in the theaters.
I saw 3 and 4 at the 2 dollar cinema......
Re Police Academy 2: that's Eliza Jane from Little House & Wayne from Wonder Years.
“Something happened and I witnessed it”
Are you sure this isn't "The Dogs of 1985"?
I see the that the term RETCONNING has yet to be coined yet. Also Roger Ebert perhaps paying homage to Ambrose Bierce once defined a SEQUEL as a "filmed deal".
One note that meshes with S&E's dislike of this movies: with the exception of POLICE ACADEMY 2 which earned almost $56 million in 1985 ticket prices (a great return even if it was about $26M less than the R-rated original snared in 1984), all of these films were flops that earned a lot less than the most-liked films of the series did. Hell, the 4th FRIDAY THE 13th did very well, and Part 5's awfulness helped send that horror franchise into the ground.
Anyone notice that Ebert gets first billing in the promos?
