The two *_Eddie and The Cruisers_* films are timeless.. because that is what real talent and such really is about: being great above and beyond. Eddie Wilson is an archetype/paragon that few singer/songwriters live up to. Every generation has a few.. and far too many pretenders.
Best Rock-N-Roll movies ever! 😊 Times were strange back then. You were pretty much the person you were by the music you listened to. These days music to me to most people is just background noise. Yet there are a few groups, individuals, and solo artists around now, and coming up artists that can still touch your soul. To me, that's music and you will always carry with you. ✌️❤️🌼
Both movies were very underrated until it hit the small screens. Then when it came out to buy it did awesome in sales along with the soundtrack. They were thinking of doing a third movie but weren't quite sure how to do it. To me the two was just right.
There kind of wasn't a full need for a part 3 but imo 2 needed a better ending still. There was a lot there left to examine once he revealed his name fully. The movie just ignores all the implications and focuses on the concert which imo was a mistake.
@@efan2012 o you would rather have the film going in to the legal ramifications of someone declared dead by law over a decade prior, trying to get his life back in the legal sense, sueing satin records for cashing in on his name for said time. And trying to explain to the world how Eddie Wilson lives. Sounds more depressing and disjointing to the story than, playing an epic show and fading to black after saying "I am Eddie Wilson"
One thing is for sure Michael Pare did a great job as an actor lip syncing in singing as Eddie Wilson. I am still more impressed by that over two movies than I was with Rami Malik in one.
Rami Malik didn't do as convincing a job IMHO; I've reached that conclusion while comparing many times through the Live Aid concert with Malik's performance.
I thought the same for years. If you didn't know better, you would think it was his own voice singing. The lip syncing was good, but they matched them so good as they both have the same voice tones. Wow.
Sosa Goldie Tell that to Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons. Some of the best music came out of Jersey and I grew up in Detroit listening to Motown. Jersey and Detroit both had some distinctive sounds.
I just learned did Michael Pare wesnip sinking Oh I thought it was fantastic. An art in itself however my thoughts Segway into the thought of it Elvis Presley's voice. Unbelievable whole package in there! But I absolutely love Eddie and the Cruisers and they're sound very electrifying and exciting production
I can't say my feelings about these movies I grew up in that business and these movies depict the struggle of getting to the top and if you feel that you have what it takes to get there
The only thing wrong with Eddie 2 was they couldn’t get Tom Berringer to come back to play Frank The Wordman. The way they dubbed him out in the flashback scenes was sloppy. But it was good to see what happened after the end of the first movie and hear some more John Cafferty
I agree with the sloppy edit. But I think it's better to have it be Sal. Frank and Joanne found their happiness together but Sal was the one who still needed closure.
Agreed 100%. Trying to shoehorn Sal into the character The Wordman was obviously supposed to take, just didn’t work for me. Anyone that knew the original Eddie and the Cruisers shook their head when they saw the relationship between Eddie and Sal in the 2nd. Originally Sal was the Rick Diesel member of the band. Someone seeking the fame and wanting the music to be radio friendly to get the fame. An opposite to Eddie whose audience was only himself.
If you look at Sal's lips at the 5:27 mark, he says "the greatest", but they looped Matt's line in ADR to say "good enough". Personally, I think the original line makes more sense, especially in relation to the Satin Records guy at the start, saying "Eddie Wilson is the greatest".
does anybodys youtube video freeze when u click on it bc ever since i updated the app now the dam video freezes, then i double click it, then hit play!!
It's true if you can't be great at what you do and there's no excuse than ever doing it again always give them credit for those who get up and get in front of an audience because they have the will to do it
Pissed me off the way they think we wouldn't remember the first movie and how Eddie treated sal. He didn't even like him. And sal says they were best friends lol
Thinking that the movie would have had more impact if, instead of reuniting with Sal, Eddie would have sought out the Tom Berringer character and asked for his forgiveness instead.
Definitely, but I guess he didn't want to do it at the time, since he was still getting roles in pretty big films. Given some of the stinkers he did later in his career, he should have done this.
there is a 3rd movie coming out look up Michael pare on IMDB he's just finished a movie with Johnny depp they are taking there time on the 3rd Eddie and the cruisers movie Michael wants it to be made way better than this last one was
@@michaelbeck5812 It's right here.... it doesn't seem the guy filming actually spoke with him, however. Did the discussion occur off camera? ua-cam.com/video/BFwDh5RPhX0/v-deo.html
I think the movie stole some of their notoriety as people in that day and time would hear the music and picture the cast of the movie rather than the Beaver Brown Band or Cafferty.
I respectfully disagree.JC was stymied by music execs who dismissed him as a Springsteen clone - without these movies most of us would have never heard his name. The real problem that shortened their success is that their albums not connected to movies were... ordinary (with the exception of "Small Town Girl") Someone - again I think it's fair to blame music execs that didn't give him creative space (I don't know this, I'm speculating) who were not as good as Kenny Vance at bringing out the band's best work. The talent is there all the way through, just not great song selection for the most part except on the soundtracks.
It wasn't easy for Eddie Wilson to come face to face with his friend Sal after letting him and the rest of the cruisers believe he was killed when his car was found in the water and he wasn't found over 20 years earlier.
Tom told them he didn't do sequels that is why he isn't in two wouldn't even allow to use his likeness the scene where Eddie is talking to Sal in two on the beach blanket was word man on blanket in one
I’ve seen the 1st one about 80 times starting when it first came out when I was a kid at 7 years old. It was cool. I could never get into Eddie Lives. I’ve seen it twice. Once when it first came out in VHS and was like wtf. Then another time years later. Maybe I need to give it another shot but the coolest of the 60’s bs the cheesy 80’s just sucked to me. Such a contrast. I was an 80’s kid but always loved the 60’s so much better
although Edie n the cruisers was an awesome movie.one of my personal favorites, I have to take off my hat to John cafferty and the beaver Brown band,who without, this movie would have flopped in my opinion.my question is why diddnt they use cafferty to play Eddie wilson.???? it's funny that many fans of the movie actually think it was Eddie n the cruisers are performing on the soundtrack.... soundtrack....
1:48 really Eddie? You’re gonna take a swing? By rights you should let Sal beat the hell out of you for letting him think you were dead for two decades all bc of your pride and bruised ego. At least he DID get past it to beg for forgiveness.
That must have really pissed them off. The Wordman was completely cut out of Eddie Lives. They showed flashbacks of every Cruiser but him. They even had scenes where you knew he was standing right out of frame. But cut before it showed him.
Nis.one of the vest movies i wver watched and purchased. Music is soul, spirit, physical and mental to our lives. If you dont fewl anything with these movies, tour dead. Unfortunately great music is dead.
In a way it's interesting. Someone close to you dies and you grieve and then move on. Maybe you have regrets. Maybe you wish you could take back some things and have just have 10 minutes to set things right. Years go by and of course that person is gone and you can't do anything like that. But just suppose that person really wasn't dead like in this situation...so what do you do...you don't do anything like you thought...you just pickup where you left off...my father and older brother are gone. Lot's of things I wish I could put right...but you know if they walked through the door despite everything, I'm not sure how much would actually change...
Don't think about it never will happen Lost alot my wife 21years give her my kidney try to get in touch with God ask for a angels just say thank you for today please every day just wait for your answer love ❤
I like this movie just fine, but feel they should have just left it alone at one. Perfect ending with the reveal Eddie is still alive out there unknown to the world.
WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE A PART 3 WERE SAL JOINS THE NEW BAND AND GETS INTO A PISSING MATCH WITH RICK DIESEL AND EDDY SEPERATES THEM AND SAYS,"ON WITH THE MUSIC CHILDREN"!!!!
The first movie was set in 1963 and the second movie was set in 1983. Not sure how you can not sound too 80's in an 80's movie. lol. Both movie soundtracks are actually on point, soundwise.
The two *_Eddie and The Cruisers_* films are timeless.. because that is what real talent and such really is about: being great above and beyond. Eddie Wilson is an archetype/paragon that few singer/songwriters live up to. Every generation has a few.. and far too many pretenders.

These two movies should be streaming!
I love the expressions on sals face he’s trying so hard to be mad but u can see a slight smile fade in and out as he’s doing it
Absolutely love this movie
Me too.
I seen the second film first. I musta watched it a million times!!
I like the first one but for me its the second one, my favorite.
Man, love this movie, have it on CD's now too, great music they played
The days of hope and cheap red wine...memories...
The cruisers rock for old rockers like me
To have that opportunity, even if fiction, amazing era to jam in. Damn. The chemistry of Eddie and Wendell.
Both movies were very underrated until it hit the small screens. Then when it came out to buy it did awesome in sales along with the soundtrack. They were thinking of doing a third movie but weren't quite sure how to do it. To me the two was just right.
Michael Parre said in an interview if they did do a third one, it be called "The American Tour"
There kind of wasn't a full need for a part 3 but imo 2 needed a better ending still. There was a lot there left to examine once he revealed his name fully. The movie just ignores all the implications and focuses on the concert which imo was a mistake.
I bought both movies

The third movie is still possible but according to Michael Pare they can't find the person who owns the rights
I love these movies!!!!
I still sometimes cry thinking about if this is how i'll see one of my childhood friends

I love the Garden of Eden song
Agree it has a blues rock sound to it
I've always loved the way sal goes to hit eddie and eddie grabs him and holds him till he calms down a bit. And the telegram was cute .
Loved it too

I can't say my feelings about these movies I grew up in that business and these movies depict the struggle of getting to the top and if you feel that you have what it takes to get there
Eddie and The Cruisers should have just gotten back together after this. They all aged well in 18 years and everyone was still alive except Whendall.
I respectfully disagree. Do you honestly think Wordman and especially Joann would have been so forgiving?
And Wendell actually was Tunes Antunes of Beaver Brown Band so he actually was still alive
That would have been epic!!!
@Kalentros I hear what you're saying, and you're not wrong. However if Sal can forgive him, Joanne and Wordman could've as well. IMHO
That sound in 1963?????? Wow, would change music forever
I think "Son of a bitch" is Sals new favorite word! 😄
The only thing wrong with Eddie 2 was they couldn’t get Tom Berringer to come back to play Frank The Wordman. The way they dubbed him out in the flashback scenes was sloppy. But it was good to see what happened after the end of the first movie and hear some more John Cafferty

Tom was still embarrassed at how bad the first film was.
No the only thing wrong with the movie is that Eddie and the cruisers weren’t a real band..they could’ve made millions as a band
He was doing war movies
"Eddie" or Michael was the most famous graduate of Lake Fenton High School in Michigan in the late 70's-80's until Bobbie Reynolds for the NHL.
Still a great movie
eddie lives

Sorry, I have no idea.
I honestly think they could do a 3rd one but a prequel. A prequel before the first one.
If you read original book from P.F. Kludge, there was alot there that didn't make it and was alot more rawer than what we got.
Nope
The resolution is just low enough to allow me to pretend that Joey Tribiani is Eddie.
This is the greatest acting and the best writing ever to have made the big screen 😂
Greatest acting? Nostalgia is a crazy thing, isn't it? Woof.
“For Love of the music”!
If he'd only known Wendell was hooked, but he was a great sax player.
If you look at Sal's lips at the 5:27 mark, he says "the greatest", but they looped Matt's line in ADR to say "good enough". Personally, I think the original line makes more sense, especially in relation to the Satin Records guy at the start, saying "Eddie Wilson is the greatest".
I loved this movie.
On the dark side by Eddie n cruiser
I would have been just as pissed as Sal.... Friends do not abandon friends.....

It is extra sad that these movies ruined the career of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. I love both, but they got stereotyped into obscurity.

whats this song
This song playing on the beach is "When the world was young" the song during the flash back is "Emotional Storm"
sounds too 80s for 1963
Considering that this moving was set 20 years after the first one, I hope that it does sound like the 80s.....seeing how it was set in 1983,.
The first movie was set in 1963 and the second movie was set in 1983. Not sure how you can not sound too 80's in an 80's movie. lol. Both movie soundtracks are actually on point, soundwise.
Should have been Wordman, not Sal.
Eddie Wilson? I thought he died in Ott six?
Wasn't Sal Jewish ? I think that in the first movie he called himself a "Yid".
Italian. Sal Amato, after all. I think he called himself a "guinea". Excuse the term, just a quote.
I saw John Cafferty live before.... He looked silly tryin to sound like Eddie 😂
He is the voice of Eddie so why would he "try" when it's his actual voice lol
EDDIE FAKED HIS DEATH CUZ WINDOW HAS PASSED
Think
Cheaply made but 👍🏼
Could they have made the music sound any less like 1963?
The first movie is a cult classic.
The sequel was way over produced i didn't like it
THE SOUNDTRACK IS LEGENDARY
