Agree,I loved this movie,another Schwarzenegger movie that you don't really hear an awful lot about is 'End of Days',I thought it was excellent,and Gabriel Byrne was perfectly cast to play Satan in it.
@@JacquesMesrine94 No one understood that this movie was a parody of standalone action hero movies…..at the time. So it’s considered underrated because to this day it’s a cult classic. Unlike a lot of the Action hero movies that it was parodying
Yeah with how thirsty Hollywood is to shove in cinematic universes like the mcu or universal monsters on top of “subversion writing” or cliches this film would have done great if it cameout today unless a woke producer got there hands on it like James Camero.n.
Only this entrance is part badass and part spoof. This movie is self-aware before self-aware movies became a thing - Scream (1995) was the first success one.
Arnold's entrance in this movie is one the best and hardest entrances of a protagonist in action movie history (IMO). The music and the stomping on police hoods gives me chills everytime I watch this. Big props to whomever's idea this was
Movie is a legit meta-masterpiece that is decades ahead of its time, including Buckethead on guitar with an absolutely awesome nuanced piece of playing. Love this movie.
This opening is a blueprint for how the Expendables movies should have been. They tried to be a little to "real", they should have been hyperaware parodies played straight, like this scene.
Honestly, I would have loved to see one of the Jack Slater movies; even this one. Go the ‘Star Wars’ route and start us off with Jack Slater III or IV, even if it has no prequels or sequels and its only cinematic connection is to ‘Last Action Hero.’ I always thought the ‘Hamlet’ Danny imagined would have been enjoyable, as well. Had they been made with that same hyperaware, straight laced attitude you mentioned, I think they would have been a lot of fun.
I think those movies just have lousy, dry scripts. Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis didn't just kick asses back in the day, they had catchphrases and one-liners to accompany them. 'The Expendables' movies just don't have the wit.
In T1 he was 38, he looks 10 years younger there. The crazy part is it's not like he avoided the sun either, constantly camped out on muscle beach or working outside as a bricklayer. He also smoked cigars like a chimney.
How ironic is it that Jack walking across the tops of cop cars to make an entrance is supposed to be over the top in a parodical sense, but is still really badass.
I don't want a sequel for "Last Action Hero" because It's great single movie on its own...but I always wanted to watch "Jack Slater" franchise spin offs. It looked far better movie than shitty action movies in those days.
& if they did make a sequel or a remake, it wouldn't be good without Frank McRae who played Lt. Dekker. Frank passed away recently from a heart attack.
@@kevinrichards3288 Oh, that's too bad...he did real good job in a lot of movies. One of my favorite was the mechanic guy in the movie "Lock up". It's so sad that there are not so many unique supporting actors in American movies lately...In 80s, 90s there were a lot of actor like him and each one of them had their own uniqueness. he had kinda good emotional father figure type of atmosphere, I guess. so sad.
@@付和雷同-p9g he played a shouting police boss in 48 Hrs, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, & Last Action Hero of course. In Used Cars with Kurt Russell, he played the sleepy mechanic. Frank was 77 or so when he passed earlier this year. RIP The big dude
It's crazy how I watched this on Laser Disc. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time! After so many years, I still remember it. That's just how good the movie was!
This movie was so ahead of its time. It's such a pity how utterly misunderstood this movie was back in 1993. Most people simply didn't understand that it was a parody of the genre. And a very clever one at that.
A lot of people didn't really "get" this movie and the humour when it came out. People were just expecting another Schwarzenegger movie. It was definetly a super unique idea at the time. Definely underappreciated. It used to run many times a year on my cable. Not my favorite Schwarzenegger film by any means, but i've watched it many times.
I remember that everyone criticised this movie to be cliché, over-the-top and slapstick... Why you folks didn't get it??? IT'S A PARODY OF THE ACTION MOVIES!! IT WAS MEANT TO BE SO!!
best Arnold Schwarzenegger entrance i remember going to the cinema's in down town New York with my brother to see this god rest his soul 😭 i watch this about 3 times a week because this was his favourite movie and it was the last movie i watched with him he was always a big Arnold fan and jean claude van damme
@@Joe_334 also in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 which was a parody of 48 Hrs & Lethal Weapon, he played a police boss in it too. A part where after Samuel L. Jackson raises his voice at him, Frank McRae says to him, "Wait a minute, I'm the captain here. I do all the yelling." 😂👍
My 10 year old self did not understand that this was supposed to also be funny. Just thought it was legitimately badass. But by then I had seen so many Schwarzenegger flicks the dude's status was mythological at that point so nothing he did seemed out of the realm of possibility or reality.
What cracks me up the most is Slater's comment to Dekker "Dekker, next one I hurt" If suckerpunching the lieutenant governor in the nose, and kicking an officer in the gonads isn't Slaters term of "hurt" I can't begin to imagine what he'd do to the next officer he sees
This movie is why I always notice certain tropes and cliches.... like the cops pulling up immediately after a crime, the boss always yelling at the hero and threatening his job, and of course, "it's just a flesh wound."

Underrated Masterpiece, this movie is way ahead of its time.
Why underrated ? It was the bomb back in the days... Just because you weren't born at that time, doesn't mean it's "underrated"....
@@JacquesMesrine94 It's because it was panned.

this gotta be the best hero entrance in cinema history
Blade (1998) has also a great Hero entrance.
After he decks the Lt. Gov. - "When the governor gets here call me."
yes!
Only this entrance is part badass and part spoof.
This movie is self-aware before self-aware movies became a thing - Scream (1995) was the first success one.
@@stefantsarev4442 oh yes.
Slaatttterrrr!!!! He cracks me up everytime when he yell!!!🤣🤣🤣
Lol me too 😂😭
Lmao 🤣
And he looks like he's about to crack out a sprint after he screams. Glorious!
May he rest in peace
¨Stop shouting, I´m not deaf¨
" Hey, u wanna be a farmer? Here's a couple of acres "

1st Expendables was a masterpiece!!!!!
I think those movies just have lousy, dry scripts. Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis didn't just kick asses back in the day, they had catchphrases and one-liners to accompany them.
'The Expendables' movies just don't have the wit.
Cobra is that movie done by accident. That and Tango & Cash are shining stars of accidental action comedy gold.
Underrated, and probably one of my favourite McTiernan flicks.
Mctiernans resume is insane, great filmmaker
The coolest thing about this opening is that Jack Slater is unstoppable, like he’s some kind of terminator or something.
He acts like a barbarian
Maybe he just got a raw deal.
Reminds me of that one movie Terminator starring Sylvester Stallone
As a cop I don’t think he’s ever yelled ,FREEZE!! Cmon slater chill out
Can't believe Arnold was 46 here
Really?? What a hack
Today he's 74 & still in great muscular shape.
@@kevinrichards3288 He is now 75 years old and looks great😊
@@TakerMJCSfan yep💪

You don't need to be realistic to be cool. It's a movie, you can make what you want with special effects, so go nuts.
0:48 how can you not love Buckethead's guitar riff. he is easily one the best guitarist ever.
What's the song? Was also in The Longest Yard
@@JD-se4ov Buckethead - Jack The Ripper
Desert Eagle sales went up by 100% 2:05
2:06 - Love it how Slater clicks his Desert Eagle

You see right there in the opening line. Last action hero is a Christmas movie. I heard it straight from Arnold Brownschweiger.
I don't want a sequel for "Last Action Hero" because It's great single movie on its own...but I always wanted to watch "Jack Slater" franchise spin offs. It looked far better movie than shitty action movies in those days.

The best action comedy! Totally underrated. In my opinion it belong to classics like terminator, predator and total recall
This movie was released exactly 30 years ago. It is one of the best out there, no matter what critics say.
It's crazy how I watched this on Laser Disc. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time! After so many years, I still remember it. That's just how good the movie was!
This movie was so ahead of its time. It's such a pity how utterly misunderstood this movie was back in 1993. Most people simply didn't understand that it was a parody of the genre. And a very clever one at that.
This is an underrated gem. It's Arnold making fun of himself. What's not to love?
A lot of people didn't really "get" this movie and the humour when it came out. People were just expecting another Schwarzenegger movie. It was definetly a super unique idea at the time. Definely underappreciated. It used to run many times a year on my cable. Not my favorite Schwarzenegger film by any means, but i've watched it many times.
Schwarzenegger and Turner are heroes of mine anyway. Just adds a little extra to this opening scene. Classic and hugely underrated movie.
1:05 Listen closely, it sounds like those guitar-riffs are saying "AR-NOLD AR-NOLD AR-NOLD"
😃
Great. Now I can’t un-hear it.
1:54 in german it's brilliant: "you wanna bake an omelette, you need to break some eggs."
And in german, it rhymes!
@@paulanerruhrpott6188 Willst du dir 'n Omelett backen, dann musst du vorher Eier knacken.

I remember that everyone criticised this movie to be cliché, over-the-top and slapstick... Why you folks didn't get it??? IT'S A PARODY OF THE ACTION MOVIES!!
IT WAS MEANT TO BE SO!!
Parodies are always criticized.
1:55 🤣🤣🤣 literally spiked that SWAT cop like a football!
Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since it’s release.
1:14 - SLAATERRRRRR!!!!
I cant believe this underrated flick failed at the Box Office
2:08 - "Check five. There's a officer in the building! I say again: there's a plainclothes officer in the building!"
"When the governor gets here, call me"
Well, I think this aged well.
When the governor gets here call me. 😂 decade later Slater IS the Governor ❤❤
Sounds like he's shouting "Slayeeeeerrr" Hahaha!!! 🤘😈🤘
One of the best action films of the 90s
0:47 one hell of an intro scene I had ever seen ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
best Arnold Schwarzenegger entrance i remember going to the cinema's in down town New York with my brother to see this god rest his soul 😭 i watch this about 3 times a week because this was his favourite movie and it was the last movie i watched with him he was always a big Arnold fan and jean claude van damme
The Deagle is one the things why I re-watch this movie it looks so crisp
I can't believe he's the same actor Who made movies like Junior or the twins... Such a talent!
SLAATERRRRRR! 😂👍
That part when the glass to his office door shattered, hahaha!!
@@Joe_334 lol that part was hilarious.

Badass entrance to be walking on top of police cars. Wish this series was a thing though
Is it the best intro to a 90s action movie? I know it's a piss take but it's still pretty cool just as it was when i was 10 years old.
My 10 year old self did not understand that this was supposed to also be funny. Just thought it was legitimately badass. But by then I had seen so many Schwarzenegger flicks the dude's status was mythological at that point so nothing he did seemed out of the realm of possibility or reality.
Omg Anna Mae bullock aka Tina turner!!! I didn’t know she was in this too!!!
One of my favs!
One of my favorite movies as a child ❤. Still makes me smile 😁
"Here's a couple of achers" Kicks him right in the gonads. 😂
One of the best one liners of all time
Bars 🔥
What cracks me up the most is Slater's comment to Dekker "Dekker, next one I hurt"
If suckerpunching the lieutenant governor in the nose, and kicking an officer in the gonads isn't Slaters term of "hurt" I can't begin to imagine what he'd do to the next officer he sees
Best entrance of all time
The alice in chains song that plays at the start makes this scene badass
goosebumps man. brilliant movie
If this was made today it'd be hailed a masterpiece.
Way ahead of its time.
“When the governor gets here call me” and he became the governor of California
SLATEEEEEER!
Every time I see this movie , more i love this. Best comical and action movie of Arnold 🤩😁😎😄
still have chills on my back, I was 13-14 back then ...
They should have made Jack Slater's movies... hands down! God knows we need those nowadays!
Love Tinas cameo❤
This movie is why I always notice certain tropes and cliches.... like the cops pulling up immediately after a crime, the boss always yelling at the hero and threatening his job, and of course, "it's just a flesh wound."
I love when he’s talking to Danny at his apartment and talks about always getting into bigger and bigger situations and coming out a live
One of the best hero entrances of the history.
1:10 He's still a badass.
RIP Tina Turner😢
Omg i never realized that this woman was tina turner until now
I feel sorry for what happened to Jack's son...
He got killed by the ripper.

The way he throws his badge at Decker is priceless. 🤣 Did the same when I finally left retail. Best feeling ever.
