I think because of Bruce Willis disease , he was doing whatever movies he could do while he still could. He was trying to make as much money as possible before he basically became a vegetable. Trying to make sure his family had money.
If you look at streaming sites like Tubi and even Peacock you can look at all their movies you can see other actors and actresses doing direct to video movies and shows . Hollywood studios make less but higher costing movies and fewer jobs for all actors .
@@DamienBlade I can't remember where I read it, but his family basically confirms the reason he's accepted these crappy direct-to-DVD movies is because he's getting worse and doesn't want to leave his family without money.
When DVD players first came out and I bought one, this was my very first DVD. I love this movie, thank you guys for your videos and most of all, YOUR SERVICE!!! Cheers
I had Heat on VHS. It needed 2 tapes due to the length of the movie. My first ever DVD movie was Hard Rain. Watched on a brand new $500 DVD player that I spent half a paycheck on.
U reminded me of the ghurkas on base and they had those wicked blades an we were like "how much?" An they would never take money instead they said "dvd player" 🤣
The 'teep' kick is a versatile push kick in muay thai used defensively for keeping range but can also hurt with more force or lifted higher to the head level which is also seen as disrespectful in MT culture. Loved this movie & channel! One of Spike Jonze's better films, hard to believe he did Jackasses' as well.
YES! I was hoping you'd get to reviewing Three Kings at some point... Thanks for making my Sunday afternoon a little less "blah." Hope all is well with you guys.. -AK in NYC
Sometimes I get the vibe that these guys are BAKED 🔥🌲☁️ out of their minds 💯 I'm with y'all if that's the case because I'm stoned to the bone as I watch these badasses break down the flick
Haha. Loved this movie. Dude jumps out during the day with nods. “Why you wearing those? They don’t work during the day.” “They sort of do.” What’s your day job? Blasts stuffed bunnies with sawed off shotgun outside a red neck trailer. The needle decompression scene was played in our EMT class because the instructor said it was accurate depiction.
Sean i just wanna let you know im half way through your book and its absolutely incredible!! Im literally stuck to the pages and cannot put the book down! The tramas you have been through so far and your outlook on life and warrior mentality is 2nd to none. This book is going to help more people than you know. I will update when I finish your book. For everyone else you do not need to be an operator to read this book or be interested in it. Sean really breaks down life trauma and failures and how to rise up to success at all costs it’s incredible. I highly recommend everyone check out his book RISING ABOVE
The punching bag story is hilarious, I hope the Sergeant said “So you’ve got it all figured out do ya, you couldn’t leave well enough alone. I’ll give you a cut” lol
You gotta do „All quiet on the western front“. The new one. I know it’s not your time of military but it’s „awesome“. As a movie about this horrible war can be awesome 🙈
Love your reviews, guys. Is there any chance of you guys having a "B-roll" channel, with full unedited (or very lightly edited) sets? Cause I feel like there is stuff that's Abel is leaving on a cutting room floor that's just gold. No pun intended. :]
The Beretta failures were from secondary and tertiary contract part suppliers, such as Checkmate and Okay Industries, not OEM Beretta. Both received government contracts based on "preferred" vendor status (hiring the disabled and other demographic groups favored by the federal government), not cost, production capacity, or quality. Quality control was non-existent, delivery was inconsistent at best, and deadlines were unmet. The problem was exacerbated by armorers not tracking usage and round count, instead waiting for a part to break before it was replaced. The lack of record-keeping, rotating weapons to distribute usage among all units in inventory/ wear more uniformly, and failure to perform preventative maintenance was a perfect storm for failure. The lifespan of an OEM locking block was +/_ 10,000 rounds. Rather than pull a gun from service to inspect and perform pm, armorers let the issued guns take a tremendous amount of abuse, while the remaining 2/3 in inventory sat unissued, because it would have been more work to track or sign in /sign out a larger number. This was clearly demonstrated by having more failures in mainforce/ conventional units, than in Special Operations units, who fired 400% more rounds per gun on average. There were VERY few failures from Beretta factory parts, only contract parts, ranging from locking blocks to magazines. Apparently, substandard parts are acceptable; it's not as if lives were on the line.
CANT BELEIVE YA'LL DID THREE KINGS THATS AWESOME THANK YOU FOR DOING THE REQUEST THANK U THANK U, WHEN YOUSE DO THIS I MAKES ME KNOW YA'LLS IS CHECKING THE MOVIES I SUGGEST .. I KNEW YOUSE LIKE MOSUL N THREE KINGS :)
My first dealing with a AK47, was after Grenada. We had them with a wet towel around the barrel, a pot holder glove, and the things were hot, just about red hot and still shooting.
After I got out my unit was assigned to 7th SPG (Eglin?) in Afghanistan in 2007, said those dudes were constantly drunk and high, said they were cool dudes for the most part but a huge liability. Same guys who got caught coming back from Columbia I believe.
Teep kick is a muay thai front kick, used like a jab for creating distance and setting up combos etc I am was just an FSC Commander attached to a Stryker unit, the worst part about every field op was not the heat cold or rain, it was always turning in dunnage because the ammo handlers ALWAYS want every piece of spent anything, I can't imagine the amount of ammo you guys have to fire then recover dunnage. it is crazy
SAG requires its members to stay active cinematically in order to keep receiving benefits (medical, dental, etc.). That's why a guy like Ian Ziering did Sharknado - which became a cult classic - so he could keep the benefits bc his wife was having a baby.
Bruce Willis has been suffering from aphasia for quite some time. It's a brain condition that affects the ability to speak, read and communicate. He wanted to stack the chips for his family before things got too bad and he couldn't continue. He recently retired due to this condition.
I’m still waiting for a review of “sniper special ops” do you not want to see a 300lb 60 year old Steven Seagal pretending he’s an elite soldier while needing a stand double to walk upstairs 😂 it’s every bit as bad as you expect
@@sartainja I’m a retired Marine in my mid-40s, & I think the Beretta is hot garbage. Way better options in the world, to still be running those as secondary weapons.
The punching bags full of cocaine incident reminds me a little of the story of Frank Lucas portrayed in the movie American Gangster who allegedly shipped heroin in dead U.S. service members transfer caskets from Vietnam back to the States.
Love your reaction videos. I like to see when you call BS, and when you say somethings accurate and share stories about either. It makes it both entertaining and informative. Going back to your C4 questions about heat (granted I've never even seen C4), it's correct it's a combination of heat and pressure. A not uncommon use of C4 in Vietnam by LRRP teams was to heat up rations and coffee by lighting the C4 on fire, and placing their canteen cups with food/beverage over it using either an issued canteen cup stove, or a old C-Ration can made into a stove. I can't recall the book or author I read it from, but he said there was a little trick to using C4 as a heating element: you had to knead the plastic explosive like it was bread dough. You basically took a gum sized wad of C4, and pinched it together all over into a tight ball, eliminating any air pockets. If air pockets existed, it would flare out and pieces of melting C4 shot-out like a bottle rocket and cling to clothing or skin. The reasoning for using this as a cooking implement was that it burned way hotter that the issued trioxane fuel bars that were issued, resulting in less cooking time. Still, I'd like to know who the hell thought about setting a flame to C4. He's gotta be up there with the first person who ever saw a chicken lay an egg, all covered in foul fecal matter and think, yeah, I can eat that. Sometimes dumb decisions have brilliant results.
So I will say one thing... I was a 74D...I got CSd so much I could talk just about normally, lol. Granted, my MOS was CBRN and this was just about EVERY DAY we got gassed-this was throughout BCT and AIT!
The reason they left that dude up there was that he was Spike Jonze. Ice Cube recognized him and they worked out the secret code. Because he knew the big-time connections to get a ton of gold hold on a shipping container.
Bruce Willis was found to have brain damage from an old injury, that's why he had been having issues. He could not remember any lines and whenever they asked him if he would be able to do something he would simply say "i will do my best". There was a group that made some jokes about him and had a fake award to give to him to be smart asses and when the truth came out about why he was having issues they took it back. He retired to be with his family now. I did a lot of reading about him and watched a recent special pertaining to all of this, as far as what is accurate this was the best info i found.
This was the first war movie I watched after Basic and AIT. I wasn't a big fan the first time I saw it but through the years and through my experiences I actually like it quite a bit for what it is.
I loved the movie when it came out. But the the switch from light hearted comedy to kind of hard hitting war movie was quite unexpected. The theme of war being crap was quite effective in my opinion. Especially when the mother was shot.
Let's Go, FNG to start the day. There is a comic with a fat Nicholas Cage at a restaurant and the waiter offers him a dinner roll. He says "No thank you" And the title says "Nicholas Cage finally turns down a roll" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@user-ns3vs3bp3e same here only watched it for Iko Uwais, I love that actor he’s the one who inspired me into southeast Asian martial arts. To be honest I expected more from him in the movie had a feeling he wanted to do more action screen time but because of the director we didn’t and I have to say the movie did had potential to be good but nah major disappointment.
I remember seeing a behind the scenes snippet from the first live action Transformers movie. They got some SF or Ops guy to train the lead actor. The dudes showing him how to reload and he said something about bringing the rifle up and inserting the new mag, so he can see his action. The actor interrupts with, "Yeah yeah. That makes sense, also, if a round comes in it hits the rifle and not my face." Shooter dude just stares at actor guy for a moment, then just goes...."shut up." I still laugh at that to this day. Until I realize he probably got fired for that.
NGL, Beretta 92 is one of the only pistols that I can pick up and shoot like a champ every time I shoot it and it fits my hand so well. I'm aware of the locking block issue though, but yeah.....I shoot them sooo well. I grew up shooting DA/SA so that doesn't bother me, but I've never shot a military m9 so maybe their triggers are worse than my brother's service pistol's was. I think it's partially what you grow up? I prefer all metal pistols to polymer pistols personally. I have a Glock 19 too. I've always been impressed with the reliability, though I think it is overrated, but I have to shoot it a lot more than the Beretta or I shoot it poorly.
The fact that the football flew that far with a detonator on it is impressive!!! For anyone that has never thrown one of those, it ain’t flying that far, or that accurate 😂😂😂
When we flew out of Daharan in ‘91 we sat on the flight line while they brought the drug / explosive sniffing dog through our ranks. I thought to myself who would be so stupid to try and smuggle anything out?
im interested to know what movie hes talking about with Clint Eastwood cause the only movies ive seen him make recently are entirely based around how ancient he is, that's like the whole point he's nut trying to be tough
As a merchant seaman with the Gulf War sealift operation the funniest thing I remember about enterprising army troops was the vast quantities of booze they imported into Saudi Arabia squirreled away in their Bradley fighting vehicles. Our second cargo consisted of hundreds of APCs although we only had cabin space for a very limited number of troops to ride along with us from Rotterdam in Holland. Then when we finally got there our Saudi shipping agents who handled our chandlery needs talked us into giving them most of our pornography since that’s prohibited over there as well.
When we left Mogadishu in 1993, we had a dumb ass try and bring home a landmine. We all got shaken down because of that. The only thing we were able to get back was the Mogadishu Airport sign, which now hangs at Hurlbert field.
Kurt… I may have found the origin of “hinky”. Sopranos Season 1 Episode 10 Paulie: “Any hinky shit and you'll be refryin' beans with Pablo Escobar again.”
Clooney just had a movie come out on the 21st of october... Great video though. 92fs are okay but the grip is trash. I have ham hands and short fingers, cant get a great grip on it.
Just to answer your question one kilo in the states can cost around anywhere 14,000-45,000. These a website from the DEA that shows a graph on how much coke cost per kilo, so 90 is yeah a fuck ton of money right there lol
16:28 My next door neighbor served in the US Air Force in the early 1970s. He was a drug dog handler with the military police in Thailand. He told me he worked a a major US airbase and was searching for heroin and Thai stick being smuggled to the US.
RE: the AK-47... my dad served in Vietnam, I've got all of like 2 stories in my LIFETIME from him about his experience there. BUT, i remember one of the few things he ever said to me was, "I hated shooting AK-47's I always thought the pin was gonna come right out of the back and go right through me!" Is this a thing?
Look... I loved the M9 as a kid growing up because it was in all the movies and I had the cool ass cap guns and squirt guns. Real life.... I dont know why anyone would drop 1300 on that. I paid less than half for my shield and ive put it through hell with zero malfunction.
In Bruce Willis's defense, he knew he was sick and was running on borrowed time and seemed to be just taking any movie he could to give his family a nest egg for after he was forced to retire.
I don't think he knew . All actors are doing direct to video movies and shows . Plus after you pay agents , management , the city , state and federal tax upfront you're lucky if you get half . Then you have to pay for bills : mansion (s) assistants bodyguards etc . you have to make as much money as you can .
