I'm not an 80s baby and I absolutely loved this sountrack and how cool this movie looks. I miss the good old days and classic movies/tv shows. I'm an old soul at heart. Born 1990 lol.
I was 15 years old living in Downtown Montreal when this awesome movie came out! Must have seen it at least 5 times in the theatre ❤️...God I miss those days 🥺😊
For you Millennials out there, this movie is the early 90s version of “Agent Cody Banks.” Except Richard Grieco is about 35 playing an 18 yr old and Frankie Muniz was actually a teenager when he played a teenager
He definitely was mid twenties, I belive 26. And they still do the same shit these days. They will always cast someone a little bit older to play someone in High School to seem more cool.
Dear god. That's the problem with Hollywood: remakes. There is no creativity left in that cesspool in California otherwise they would make something good that isnt a remake.
@Rouge Five In sweden it was "Om blickar kunde döda", which directly translates to the original title, but losing the double meaning of gaze/appearance.
Oh no It wasn't like that. He was HOT SHIT when he joined. Hell he got his own show and a movie. It just didn't last long. But in that moment, it was Johnny who?
@@aelius93 No, it was totally like that. He was hot shit, but Depp was hot shit with legit acting talent. And (at the time at least) he didn't have 1/10th of the ego Grieco had. That's why Grieco got a spinoff that only survived one season, and Depp left to do stuff like Edward Scissorhands. In fact, it was only "Johnny who?" if you were living under a friggin' rock. Hell, even "Cry Baby," a commercial failure, made more money than "If Looks Could Kill" and became a genuine cult classic. I love this movie, but Grieco is just playing the same "bad boy/wannabe rock star" character he did in everything else. That's why this is a trailer that effectively ignores the entire existence of the 4th wall.
@@articulatedkat6608 they were both introverted. But Johnny fell into where he got pigeonholed into doing big money movies that showcased his baby-faced cute characters. That the public fell for, lucky for him. Richard Fell To b movies cuz his crazy guy emotional acting!...
Is it just me or this the most under-recognized action/spy movie of all time? It was my childhood favorite! I didn't think anyone could be as good as Bond, but Corbin did!
It's a good thing they changed stylists after they filmed the intro and airport scenes. Grieco looks better with his back combed back, not straightened
I saw this when I was 17 years old the 1980s was the best Decade Ever if you lived in the 1980s and the early 1990s as a kid and a teenager and as an adult you understand what I'm trying to say the 1980s great movies great music great clothes once again you had it been a kid a teenager or adult to understand what I'm saying you had to live the 1980s to experience it Mall concerts when I was going to school all the girls had to copy Tiffany and Debbie Gibson the summer of 91 was the best summer I Ever Had Summer of 91 was when I was 17 years old that was the best summer Ever before I became 18
I remember watching this on my cousin house but I never knew the title. I was like 5 or 6 and only thing I could remember about this movie are red car, sport jacket, spy and cool sneakers. So I googled 90's young spy comedy movie and I found it.
Underachieving goofs was a thing in the 90s. It was such a bad influence on kids. Examples, Bill and Ted, Beavis and Butthead, any Pauly Shore movie, Clueless, Dumb and Dumber, Billy Madison, any Chris Farley movie, etc.
Unfortunately you are absolutely right. But it's not just that, since I started school (I was born in the mid-80s) it was common to make fun of the overachiever, dedicated classmates, so much that even those who were naturally doing good were ashamed of getting high marks... I certainly fell for that. I wish I had known better.
