Guys, SO MANY of my videos are getting demonetized & restricted lately. Cross your fingers this one stays up & monetized so I can keep paying my editor 🤞🤞 If you want to help out, check out some of my older Arnie reactions, they are still unrestricted for now 🤞 ARNIE PLAYLIST: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5dqJH8hL10X49JYt1SbNQ3Uj
I love that Arnie's love interest wasn't his partner, but they still built a very sweet and intimate bond as friends. This is such a sweet and cute movie, and honestly one of my favorite Schwarzenegger movies.
I also love that they made her desirable! She's a badass and funny, but she's also engaged to be married to a great guy. I feel like that's so uncommon in Hollywood. This movie is actually great with roles for women. It's very rare that you see so many female roles in an action-thriller, especially considering how few male roles there are.
I watched this when it came out and I was, ahem, 14. Since then I learned that the child actors loved Arnie because between takes he just played with them and got to know them. It really shows in the way they interact with him on screen.
Kindergarten Cop was filmed in Astoria, Oregon. Same location as the Goonies and Free Willy to name two. The Last Stand is also worth checking out if you want more Arnie movies.
Named after the Astor family. He was the one in Titanic with the pregnant young wife. As Rose said, "Quite the scandal." Witnesses say he died trying to free the pets. Good man.
@@clevelandcbi It's really weird to see so many things named after them. I live only a few miles away from Walldorf, Germany, where Johann-Jakob Astor was born...
Jen, you will love Twins. Arnold and Danny DeVito. A masterpiece. Arnold is so great at comedy. Fun movie and fun reaction Jen. You really are the best reactor on RU-vid.
While Twins is one of my childhood faves without this movie we wouldn't have gotten the incredible soundboard prank calls from Lt John Kimball in the 2000s : D
I was a hardcore Arnold fan. Terminator, The Running Man, Raw Deal, Conan….and wanted to see this just because he was in it. Will always love this movie 😁
"Oh, that's nice! She's cool!" Little Linda Hunt is always great. She works with Penelope Ann Miller again on The Relic (a creature feature you would enjoy).
To be fair, the worst, toughest bad guys couldn't last two days with 20 6-year-olds without doing actual physical damage to some of the kids. If they made it through the first day they'd never come back.
"The Last Action Hero" is a pretty funny parody of action films. And, if you want to see baby Arnie, check him out in "The Villain", with Kirk Douglas and Ann Margaret. If it were any sillier, it'd be a Looney Tunes cartoon.
you should check out the video they made during the pandemic of the reunion of the cast, not for a reaction but just for your own enjoyment. the kids LOVED Arnie and he enjoyed them so much. Its so endearing.
Arnold is always funny to me even when it's unintentional😅 He said this is his favourite of his own movies, too. He had the most fun making it and so did the kids.
Glad you enjoyed it👍 Was a fun movie and those catch phrases just added to the growing bag of Arnie quips in pop culture! I never realized how many similar scenes and call backs or foreshadows there are to other Arnie movies in this one. T2’s scene in the back hallways where he meets the T1000 is very similar to the opening in this movie in the mall hallway. Where Arnie hangs out with the addict it looks a lot like the club TechNoir from T1. He’s dressed a lot like like Kyle Reese. He says “I’m back” to the kids. Just to name a few in the reaction, been a while since seeing the whole thing but I’m sure there’s more.
Others have said it, but his best comedy has to be Twins!:definitely worth checking out for another side or him. Jingle all the way is good for Christmas season, too.
Just a note, Jen, from a music buff...Randy Edelman is very good at writing affective, moving, beautiful music. Just tuck this away. He also wrote the music for "While You Were Sleeping," which is a really sweet rom-com with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. Box of tissues needed when listening to the music in that movie. And, not another sweet movie, but he also wrote the theme to the classic Richard Dean Anderson TV series, "MacGyver."
This movie will always hold a special place in my heart! It was the last movie I went to see at the theater my Dad before he passed away 😞 I love you Dad!❤ But on a happy note it is a very funny movie 😁
This is Arnold's favorite role. He has often reflected fondly on this movie. I like the Terminator moment when he's going through that crack house looking for his witness. He proved that he could do comedy well. And it's heart warming to know that he has kept in touch with all of his children co-stars over the years.
His first comedy, The Villain (1979), was more a Kirt Douglas movie and it is hard to find anyway. But there is Junior (1994) which is straight comedy. In the action/comedy category he did Twins (1988) and some might include Batman & Robin (1997). And don't forget the holiday/comedy/action Jingle All the Way (1996).
@@SuperMarioBrosIII Double date rental with the movie, blockbuster era - 90's - we shut it off part way through. Sorry man. Didn't watch it because we just couldn't watch it.
I've loved this movie since I saw it as a kid. It's the perfect blend of comedy and serious police drama. Pretty sure it was my first Arnold movie. Glad to see people rediscovering this one.
Your reaction was also heartwarming, like whenever the kids did something cute. :) As for other Arnold comedies, The Last Action Hero is my favourite of his.
Great reaction to a fun movie! I worked in day care and church nurseries when this movie came out. At the time I was 6'4", 185 pounds, had long hair and a mohawk. 😀 So many of my female friends saw this movie and said "It's you!" 😀 I didn't think that they were funny. I love this movie though. It was just so funny at the time. When this came out I had seen both Conan movies, Red Sonja, and The Terminator. I had seen some of Red Heat when hanging out with friends, though while it was a comedy movie the comedy was from Jim Belushi with Arnold basically just being the hardcore Russian cop straight man in it. Then this hit. And suddenly I found out Arnold could do some comedy AND do touching bits too, like the A.A. Milne reading. I watched some of his not-action movies that I had skipped after seeing this. For someone who was expected to just be a musclebound meathead action actor, he had surprising depths. Such a great movie. And, yeah, it was kinda like me working with the kids I did (ages 2-6). But such a fun movie. 🙂 Edit: Other Arnie change of pace movies from this era are Red Heat and Twins.
Hey Hey there Jen Murray. Favorite part was when his partner clobbered bad guys mom with the ball bat "Your not so tough without your car are you " crackes me up every time. Love your reaction as always. Have a perfect night. 😉👌
If you haven’t seen it, I urge you to watch Twins. You’ll love it. It’s the first film Arnold did with director Ivan Reitman (who made Ghostbusters) who directed this and they then followed it up with a third collaboration with Junior… a very interesting movie. But Twins is incredible.
The mother of the bad guy is Carroll Baker. Her first movie role was in 1953. Her second movie role was in 'Giant' co-starring with Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean. Giant is an epic that is a must watch for any film buff. She followed that with the Tennessee Williams black comedy 'Baby Doll' and 'The Big Country' an epic western with another all star cast. She formally retired from acting in 2003. She is still with us, 92 years young. Carrol Baker is someone you should know.
"It might be a tumor." "It's not a tuma!" Oh, tumor. Gonna die." Lol!! I don't know what is more funnier, the kids or the dialogue. RIP, Ivan Reitman, for making this hilarious film.
I love how Stallone was motivated to do a light hearted family action after this with Stop or My Mom Will Shoot 1992 (major bomb) Arnold also insinuated to Stallone’s crew that he wanted to film Stop or My Mom Will Shoot 😂
Arnold has kids. His daughter is married to Chris Pratt ( Starlord from guardians of the galaxy ). This was a big movie as a kid for me as it was filmed not to far from where I grew up. The town is at the mouth of the columbia river on the Oregon and Washington border. There are a lot of classic movies filmed there as it is a quaint small port town such as Short Circuit and The Goonies.
My mom took me to the theater to see Home Alone. It was sold out so we saw Kindergarten Cop instead. It became one of my all time favorite movies. I watched it hundreds of times growing up and it always brings back great memories!
Hey Jen! A good action/comedy where Arnie openly makes fun of himself: Last Action Hero. Also, I feel you would really enjoy Junior (1994) with Arnie and Danny DeVito.
@@sparksdrinker5650 Yes, because people at the time didn't understand Arnold was spoofing his own movies. The film had been promoted as a serious action movie.
2:48 “I’ve always wanted to push someone out of the way by their face”. Jen has a wild side bubbling under! 🤣 1:00 I’m almost certain this corridor location is the same one from Terminator 2 where the 2 Terminators meet and fight for the first time while John Connor is running from them. They even matched very well in a side-by-side comparison though both are lit different (or at least colour-graded different) with different angles and at a different position along the corridor or corridors
I recommend checking out an almost forgotten film from early in his career simply called The Villain. It also has Kirk Douglas and Ann-Margret. It's a western spoof, and almost like a Looney tunes cartoon brought to life. Very light-hearted, and completely unlike any Arnold film you've seen.
@@davidward9737 I didn't scroll down far enough to see it, but I'm glad that my brothers and I aren't the only ones who remember the film. Roadrunner and coyote was a far better comparison than Looney tunes
@@MrLovegrove well I mentioned it in someone else comment since people were bringing up Arnold comedies. Looney tunes is a great comparison. Me personally felt Anne Margaret and Arnold were the Roadrunner and the Villian Catus Jack Slade was the Coyote since all his traps backfired, especially the train scene since they go through the tar unscathed and he gets stuck. Plus his horse Whisky is funny too. Both good comparisons though.
Arnold put out two more comedy movies with Danny Devito. One is Twins and the other is Junior. You will enjoy them both. You know who else would enjoy them, your sister, tell her I said hi.
You asked for Arnold's Funniest Film ever...and this is indeed one of them!👍 He's also worked with this Same Director (Ivan Reitman, R.I.P.) twice more in "Twins" ('88) and "Junior" ('94); both Highly-Recommended Comedies as well!!👌
Astoria, Oregon is a very scenic town located on the Oregon side of the Columbia River very close to that river's mouth. It's been used as the setting for several movies.
Hey, Jen. Great reaction yet again. You ve become my fav reaction channel and I always look forward to you uploads....Being that you have been on an Arnie kick recently, and being the music affectionado that you are(especially for film scores) AND being that you just watched a film with limited score in No Contry for Old Men, may I suggest an early Arnie film, Conan the Barbarian (if you havent already reacted to it and I just plain didnt see it) There is very minimal dialogue and the score carries alot of the weight for the film, not to mention that Basil Pouledaris composed what is arguably one of the best scores for a movie . Think Conan would check alot of recent boxes for a reation. Good luck with your channel and look forward to next upload:)
You have to see "Conan the Barbarian" first, since it was the first Conan movie, but personally, while many people would call "The Barbarian" a better story with better actors, I actually have more fun with the sequel, "Conan the Destroyer," which also has an excellent score.
Kindergarten Cop is a great one. Only Arnold Schwarzenegger could pull this off. The action and sense of humor blend nicely. A true action film needs some humor. A five star film all the way!
I adore your reactions Jen! Would love to see you react to "Commando", it's the most ", Arnie" movie there is! Hilarious one liners and a comedically high body count!
When I was in 8th grade at a K-8 school, the 2nd grade teacher, who was sort of inept before, used this movie as her guide to becoming competent at the job.
Arnie comedies that I can think of (similar to Kindergarten Cop) are Junior and Twins. As for more action-comedies; I'd say Last Action Hero and Jingle All the Way (which is also a Christmas movie).
This is such a wholesome film! It's amazing to see Arnold turn in such a comedic role 1 year before T2. You should watch Twins and Last Action Hero for more Arnold comedy!
The actor that plays Crisp was the bully in the movie Three O’Clock High. It’s an 80s movie. The movie Fist Fight with Ice Cube was like Three O’Clock High. The movie There’s Something About Mary. Richard Tyson/Crisp had a small part in that movie being a cop. This film was filmed in Astoria Oregon. The Goonies was also filmed in Astoria Oregon
in an early storyline the little red headed boy only spoke a few nonsense words… during the fire scene he points out Crisp and the starts shouting “stranger! stranger”
So our sweet, gentle, sophisticated Jen has "always wanted to push someone out of the way by their face." A bit like the sweet, gentle, sophisticated (yet deadly) bunny wabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," methinks.
I've watched so many reaction videos to Kindergarten Cop now and it just confirms what a good movie it is. It hits all the right notes. On paper, it sounds a bit silly, and if it was made any time in the last 20 years it would be completely over the top ridiculous and constantly winking at the audience and not taking itself seriously at all. The best thing about this movie is how sincere it is. Everyone is committed to making the concept of the movie work.
This was Arnie's 2nd foray comedy - the first is TWINS and the the 3rd was JUNIOR - both co-starring Danny De Vito - and all 3 directed by Ivan Reitman (GHOSTBUSTERS/MEATBALLS/ANIMAL HOUSE - the last 2 you so need to see ) - and they're just as funny.
People think I'm joking when I say this is in my top 5 Arnold movies but I'm serious. This and T2 were my introduction to him when I was a little kid in the early 90s
Fun bit of trivia: The school in this movie was used as the inspiration for the school in the video game Silent Hill. No idea why, but the game designers recreated the school almost exactly.
"Who is your daddy, and what does he do", "It's NOT a tuma!", and "You lack DISCIPLINE!" were all big quotes used a lot after this movie came out. Was a meme for a long time.
Probably my favourite Arnie movie. Heartwarming down to its bone. Stellar reaction as always. Interesting names of Arnie and his partner…..Ohara and Kimble. David janssen played Ohara in the tv series O'Hara, U.S. Treasury 1971 and Richard Kimble in the unforgettable The Fugitive(1963 ) Interesting. I wonder.if that was intentional and why. Bloody well enjoyed the reaction...yes. Champagne wishes Commander and cheers!
Katherine Heigl was 12 when this movie was released, I doubt she was a kindergartner. Odette Yustman (Annable) was, however, in this movie as one of the kids and may be the girl you were referring to.
@@johnberg9497 Thanks. I double checked by asking google if Katherine Heigl was in Kindergarten as a child actor. Should have triple checked. Not a mistake i will make again. Peace and blessings.
Kindergarten Cop was filmed in Astoria, Oregon where The Goonies was also filmed. The school is visible in several shots from the Walsh house in The Goonies.
Thank you. Arnold looks so young, sweet even, in this. Though Richard Tyson, the villain, has had a decent career I only remember seeing him in two other movies, "Two Moon Junction" (1988) and "Kingpin" (1996).
Great reaction Jen!!! If you want another comedy that has just a little bit of punching then you have got to watch Twins. It is more comedy than anything else.
This movie was made in the same town as The Goonies (Astoria, Oregon) so that’s why it has such a great charm and familiar feel. And the movie Twins is a must see Arnold flick! I actually like it more than this one but opinions will vary on that.
