INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996) | MOVIE REACTION 

"I bet aliens ride past like we Detroit" 😂😂💀

“Do you really think they pay $40,000 for a toilet seat and $50,000 for a hammer?” This might be a movie, but that man was speaking facts.

"DAMN did she just bang the door with his head!?" Omg i laughed so hard lol😅

So much respect for you giving acknowledgement to your editor. Thumbs up for you, and happy birthday to "blank". 👍🎂

It was on fire in the beginning because it's entering the atmosphere (The high speed clashing with the oxygen molecules make it go red hot and turn it into a fireball… That’s why meteors and stuff when they enter the atmosphere there on fire… Even spaceships when they return they get really really hot and can actually burn)

55:17 I love many things about this movie, but Jeff Goldblum re-using "Must go faster" from Jurassic Park will never not make me cackle with glee.🤣

"Yeah... mommy's sleeping. " Me - bawling my eyes out.

Yes, there was a time when everyone cheered because Will Smith punched someone in the face. 😁

Ever noticed whenever a movie character turns a TV on, its already on the channel for whatever they want seen? No fumbling with a remote, it was never left on The Playboy Channel by a bored guard.

When J asked what is a schlemiel, who else thought schlimazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated!? 😂

A fantastic reaction youve just shared with us, Eom. Also, another sci-fi film made by Roland Emmerich that i highly recommend you is "Stargate". Have a great 4th of July and Happy Independence Day.

"Now that's what I call a close encounter!" Dude pulling out ALL the stops with these movies, y'all ❤❤❤ oooh what a treat! I will be ready!

“His eyes didn’t look like he was yelling like that”. Yooo i literally was thinking the same thing when I saw it.

"You think they have any idea what's about to happen to them?" "Not a chance in hell. Goodnight!" "PEACE!" ✌️ Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Sharon Tay. What Script Fact: Dean Devlin said that most of the dialogue in the scenes Jeff Goldblum shared with Judd Hirsch and Will Smith (all three comedians) was improvised. Practical Over CGI Fact: The destruction of The White House had to happen in one take. The crew built a giant miniature and placed minor explosives around it. Later the special effects team added fire and debris. Epic Cameo Fact: The man in the Los Angeles office building that is destroyed in the initial attack is played by Volker Engel, the movie's visual effects supervisor. The building also contains his initials on the exterior. Airplane Enthusiast Fact: The main American military aircraft seen throughout the film, are the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. After the climatic battle, one of the F/A-18s that returns to the base can be seen with the "VM" tail code. This is the designation for Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 (VMFA-314) Black Knights, the same squadron that Will Smith flies with in the film and that gets massacred by the city destroyer that took out Los Angeles. Location Location Fact: The scene in which Will Smith drags the unconscious alien across the desert was filmed on the salt flats near Great Salt Lake in Utah. Smith's "And what the hell is that SMELL?" line was unscripted. Great Salt Lake is home to tiny crustaceans called brine shrimp. When they die, the bodies sink to the bottom of the lake (which isn't very deep) and decompose. When the wind kicks up just right, the bottom mud is disturbed and the smell of millions of decaying brine shrimp can be very, very bad. Apparently, nobody warned Will.

What I love about this channel is that it can get me excited for a movie I haven't cared about for over 20 years.

Recently found out the, "What the hell is that smell?!" was Will legit asking, because there's a very smelly lake in Utah near where they filmed and nobody warned him about it.

"Everyone in the worlds trying to get outta washington, were the only schmucks tryin to get in"

Btw Dr. Okin the guy with long hair who meets the president and shakes his hand is freaking Data from Star Trek. Yes crazy. I only learned this recently, I had no idea lol.

I consider Bill Pullman's speech in this movie to be one of the best speeches in the history of cinema. It never fails to give me goosebumps. So good!

“Independence Day”. Jeff Goldblum- faster! Must go faster! “Jurassic Park”. Jeff Goldblum- faster! Must go faster!

I cant believe you don't recognize Bill Pullman aka the president 😯 He was Lone Star in Spaceballs, he was in lake placid also, plus a bunch of other movies

"They might be throwing up gang signs" 💀🤣💀🤣💀🤣💀

You're a good man for appreciating your friend for all he does. I wish him a happy birthday and God bless.

That really was a hell of a speech,I went and saw this twice and both times the audience erupted. It’s even more impactful now with the world so divided. I always show my age when I say shit like that forgetting how old certain movies are😂

“And what the hell is that smell?!” was improvised and a real question. The scene was filmed on the salt flat that actually do stink! No one told Will Smith about it before filming. 😂😂

Man, he smacked that alien like it's name was Chris Rock.

Vivica’s character got a major life upgrade in ID 2. She goes from stripper to chief doctor at a hospital. Lol

Jeff G. is 6'4" tall while Will S. is only (😂) 6'2"

Love Jeff Goldblum. Goat zaddy

Independence Day’ opened in theaters 28 years ago yesterday, July 2, 1996

Happy Birthday, Blank! Thanks for making this all happen!

Dude, when i saw in cinema, the amount of popcorn, sodas, and screams that flew upwards on that autopsy scene...

The guy with the Burger King crown is the same guy from Men In Black that was “definitely an alien,” before the reveal that it was actually Frank the Pug

There are 5 Defcons. The ships are flaming/on fire because of friction of the air due to their speed creating huge amounts of heat interacting with humidity in the air. This friction heat used to cause the Concorde to stretch by six inches during supersonic flight. It contracted to normal length as it slowed down to land

@43:27 “I’m going to sh-it in the cockpit.” 🤣 Jay’s one-liners are on point as always!

The plot hole during the final battle, where the computers are showing that no-one has any missiles left yet Uncle Eddie has one missile, is because of the original ending which was put together with unfinished effects for test audiences and then changed. In the original ending, Uncle Eddie volunteers to fly one of the jets but is *turned down*. When he turns up to save the day, he is flying his crop duster plane with a missile physically bolted to the side. However, in that version of the ending he knows it's a suicide mission going in, because he doesn't have any release mechanism for the missile. That's also why his missile doesn't show up on the computers. Test audiences found the crop duster flying around in that dogfight too corny/unbelievable and the ending was changed. The shots of Uncle Eddie in the fighter cockpit were reshoots done after the cockpit mockup had been dismantled so they had to throw something together on the fly, which is why the cockpit he's sitting in looks a bit cheaper than the others.

Happy birthday, Blank! You do an amazing job with the channel, thank you!🎉

Happy birthday blank 🎉🎉🎉🎉 we appreciate everything you do bro and we love you

July 1st they arrived July 2nd they attack, July 3rd nothing much happens, July 4th WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

I love this movie. Whether it's this movie or Jurassic Park, Jeff Goldblum is always the smartest one who senses the danger before everyone else.

The professor at Area 51 is Brent Spiner aka Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Nice!

"WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT" "TODAY WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!" HooRah!!!

"Throwing up gang signs at the aliens" lmao!!

Goldblum's 'Pops' is played by the legendary actor, Judd Hirsch, the main character, Alex Reiger, from the amazing sitcom, Taxi, my personal favorite show. Great reaction! Impressed you knew Alex Tabor from Saved by the Bell: The College Years.

“This glass bulletproof?” “No sir” 💥💥🔫🔫

I can't remember if there was a 3rd movie from the 90's where Jeff Goldblum says "must go faster..." lol

I saw this movie on this exact day 27 (edit: 28) years ago. Opening day in theaters. I was 14 and absolutely loved it and still do!

How refreshing to see a Hollywood President - an honest, moral person who loves his wife and family and can put two coherent sentences together.

Happy Birthday Blank! 🎂. We appreciate your genius behind the scenes.

Happy BDay Blank!!!🎉 People who give credit where credit is due are extremely rare, keep appreciating and motivating each other as brothers in the human race!

Apart from Data, I can identify three actors that appeared in the Star Trek universe. 4:12 Vedek Yarka (from DS9 *Destiny* ) 24:59 Michael Jonas (from Voyager S1-2) 31:41 The murderous hologram (from Voyager *Revulsion* )

"Welcome to Earth! Now that's what I call a close encounter." XD

You should do vintage Will Smith and watch Bad Boys.

Fun fact for us not so fun fact for will smith and the crew on set. The scene in which Will Smith drags the unconscious alien across the desert was filmed on the salt flats near Great Salt Lake in Utah. Smith's line, "And what the hell is that *smell*?" was unscripted. Great Salt Lake is home to tiny crustaceans called brine shrimp. Nobody warned him of the horrible smell that sometimes comes of the Great Salt Lake due to billions of dead brine shrimp each year.

No one has a voice like they just gargled with broken glass and drywall quite like Harvey Feirstein. Edit: I'm so very sad that you didn't recognize Lieutenant Commander Data. This man needs some Star Trek in his life, stat.

if you're paying attention, the stripper's kid has a King Ghidorah toy when they're with the First Lady after they find her.

Happy birthday, Blank!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you for EVERYTHING you do!

The little details are what i like about this movie. The dog out jumping the explosion. Will Smith punching the alien. The dad no one respects is the one who blows up the aliens. The foreign forces who say it's about time the Americans came up with a plan. The Area 51 guy saying we don't get out much. Harvey Fierstein's character stuck in traffic and seeing the end coming. This movie is pure entertainment.

*Me this afternoon "Oh Independence Day... ok." *Me, randomly, several hours later "Ohhhhh I see what he did there."

Hey blank. Happy birthday. Just so you know i appreciate all you do too. If you didnt do you, then none of us would be able to watch Murder Whistle. Tyvm. We are all grateful. Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday Blank we appreciate all the hard work you do behind the scenes to help bring us this great content

Happy Birthday Blank! We appreciate you.

Happy birthday many more to come enjoy your holiday ✌️💜🙏.

Happy Birthday, Blank. Thank you and the EOM Channel for bringing me and others, endless hours of entertainment!

@4:45 That’s Robert Loggia playing the Marine General. He’s been in a lot of movies including Necessary Roughness, Scarface, Over the Top, Big, and Innocent Blood.

I heard somewhere that when he says what’s that smell there was a real smell on the set and he improvised 😂💯

44:20 One of the best inspirational speeches in movies, second to Captain America’s speeches in the MCU and Mikey’s “it’s our time” speech from The Goonies.

I will never forget the trailer for this they aired on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Scared the piss out of me

The ship is huge, so when the enters the upper atmosphere it creates the fire you see around it

43:38 One of the best inspirational speeches in movies, second to Captain America’s speeches in the MCU and Mikey’s “it’s our time” speech from The Goonies.

16:34 When he talks to his boss about chess, he says approximately 6 hours. Even after he gets to his dad’s place, it’s 225 miles from New York to Washington. This would take almost 4 hours in a modern car, but according to IMCDB (Internet Movie Car Database), his dad’s car is a 1962 Plymouth Savoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLANK!!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by love, laughter, and pure joy!!! 🎉🥳🎂💙💙💙

Lmfao Happy Birthday Blank! I hope you have an amazing day! This channel wouldn’t be as amazing as it is without both of y’all!! 😂😂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLANK!! you're always on point with the editing, and that's at least half the reason this channel is so great. Looking forward to many more excellent vids from you and J!

This film is the definition of a Box Office smash! Everyone went to see it and was laughing and cheering together! I even saw it 3 times in theater.

"Why are we dropping it over Houston, ain't there another country somewhere we could... im just sayin" Spoken like a true patriot... Happy Independence Day America

7:40 what a fuckin great delivery of that line, it’s like the weight of the information almost broke him down mid-sentence

@45:16 Julius telling David that he’s very proud of him never fails to choke me up and bring a tear to my eye.

To the hardest working man on TouTube, Happy Birthday Blank!!!! You do great work and are loved and appreciated. We hope you have an amazing birthday!!

Thank you and Happy Birthday Blank.🎉🎉

26:00 this shot was filmed at the Great salt lake out on the salt flats it smells like rotten tuna crotch and wet socks, that's the smell he's talking about

Happy birthday Blank! Thank you for all your hardwork on all the EOM channels!! Happy 4th boys!!!

"Schlemiel" is a Yiddish word. There are 2 types of luckless people. A schlemiel is the guy who always knocks over is hot bowl of soup at the dinner table. A schlemazel is the guy who the soup always lands on. As an example, in The Big Lebowski, Walter is always the schlemiel, & the Dude is always his schlemazel. 😂

Happy birthday, Blank!!

will smith ad libbed the "what the hell is that smell" line cause it stunk out there in the salt flats i remember seeing this in the theater on opening night. that part with the dog escaping the explosion the whole theater started screaming "Go Boomer! go Boomer!" LOL going to the theaters was just different back then. like rock concerts

One of my favorites - such a freaking classic! Happy birthday Blank! 😁👊🏻💯🎂

The “IIIIII’mmmm BBBAAAACCCCKKKK!” line is the corniest, yet strangely most memorable, line in this movie.

Yo. Check out. "Black Dynamite" and "A rage in Harlem"...

LOVE that you mentioned Necessary Roughness AND Alex from Saved By The Bell The College Years! That's why we love you!!!!💜💙 Happy Happy Birthday, Blank!!!! Love you too!!!!

Happy Birthday Blank! You are always so polite and kind when I ask a question. Thank you for your hard work you help spread so many smiles and joy. 🙂 Have a wonderful birthday.🎂

Love the to death. Underrated as hell. Stellar cast, great score, awesome special effects and one of the best speeches given by Bill Pullman.

10:25 No, boss, what you say then is "No, Fred, but they said you were really cute, and they're here to fetch ya."

Oh my goodness only you would say they could of being throwing gang signs to the aliens 😂🤣 In regards to the people on the rooftop of the building in LA welcoming the aliens & you said that was stupid I waited for you to say thanks for playing 😮

27:58... U aint recognize that's Data from Star Trek TNG?!^^ \O>

56:39 More important than saving the world: holding the woman you love and who loves you in your arms.

The Welcome Wagon Helicopter pilot was the same dude that was sleeping at the desk they woke up by the ufo. (shooting the can scene)

Fantastic reaction as always, J! I loved every minute of this! This movie brings back a lot of memories when I was a kid.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this film and it never registered in my head how odd it was for her to strip while aliens were hovering in town... and that she brought her son. Why have I never thought about how crazy all of that is?

Happy birthday Blank, I appreciate all the hard work you put into this channel

Peak summer blockbuster right here. It really never got better.
