Normally I would’ve chewed you out lol 😂 because the word “underrated” is overused and thrown around too much. But yes, you’re right. This was a very underrated movie
I remember this movie on USA Channel back in the late 90s with my grandfather! I had already seen the movie before that but my grandfather was laughing so hard at this film because it was his first time seeing it! That was the greatest movie night for us out of all the movie nights we've had together. My grandfather passed away 14 years ago but every time I watch this classic it reminds me of him! Great review octokrool 👍🏿
My dad passed away last year. He was Major Payne. He did 30+yrs and was a Drill Sgt. This was one of our go to movies. I remember his laugh. I miss him everyday. This just brought back great memories. Thanks guys.
My dad was a Marine and he was so obsessed with this movie that he made my sisters and I watch it with him every damn day for months. I have memorized the whole thing😂
Anyone of these would be great for next time: -A Low Down Dirty Shame (another Wayans movie) -Pootie Tang (Underrated Chris Rock movie) -Ali G In Da House (Sqacha Baron Cohen's first film) -Dogma (hilarious!!) -The Constant Gardner -Sugar & Spice (best cheerleader movie ever) -Showdown in Little Tokyo (Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren) -Lazer Mission (Brandon Lee) -Insructions Not Included (if you want a lighthearted comedy that may make you cry) -The Man From U.NC.L.E (Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Hugh Grant) -Schindler's List (possibly the most violent movie you'll see on your channel) -To Wong foo, thanks for everything Julie newmar -Mo Better Blues -Who Framed Roger Rabbit -Cats Don't Dance -All Dogs Go To Heaven -Josie & The Pussycats (movie) -not another teen movie (lol that's the actual title) -baby boy -holiday heart -the net -the wayans brothers (show)
As a US Marine myself I love this movie. Major Payne is a perfect Marine archetype and I can say that we do have to earn our hair in boot and the Drill Instructors say the same outlandish shit that Payne did to us . The thing that gets me is when he stands up for the kid against his father. The thing about Drill Instructors is, they're not mean for the sake of it, they're mean with a purpose. They can talk to you like that, but at the end of the day you're their recruit and they do care about you, even if like Major Payne they have odd ways of showing it to the uninitiated. To this day I love my Drill Instructors like my own parents.
The scene where he is going crazy in his apartment is a reference to Apocalypse Now; a Vietnam movie. Also, while it is mainly a comedy and shouldn't be taken too seriously, I particularly like the scene where he protects stone from his step dad. It's the first time he doesn't refer to him in a derogatory manner and even seems extremely protective of him. You could go far enough to argue Payne likely was a victim of parental abuse growing up so this triggered a protective instinct in him and I just love it. He even goes as far as to refer to stone in a softer way at the end: "go on back to your bunk, son". It'd also explain why the major doesn't respond well to affection.
@@desmondpowell3205 while I agree it's a decent flick, it's not exactly that exciting imo. I'd be more excited if they reacted to platoon. Prolly a more accurate Vietnam movie anyways.
@@illam9500 oh yeah I wasn’t saying that in a negative sense I just always saw it that way and it adds to the hilarity. And the references to Apocalypse Now

Payne is, of course, an over-the-top caricature, but as a veteran who now lives and works in a world surrounded by people who never served a day in their lives, watching this movie always makes me feel better about myself. For just a little while, it makes me feel OK to be me in a world where I'm surrounded by people who don't get me.
I too am a veteran. I have dreams often about being back in service. Last night even. I should have stayed in. I functioned better in that environment.
@@xenxander they are going kick you out eventually unless you go political. Just have some faith in us civilians. You will run across some people who will respect your sacrifice even though they don't know it. You ain't alone bro
@@xenxander It took me 15 years before I realized that I never should have left, and by then, I was too old and out of shape to go back in. It was my first real job, and I took the things like top-notch healthcare for granted. It was almost 20 years after I got out before I was able to get another job that actually offered a medical plan, and 20 years of NOT doing PT every morning had taken its toll. And I also took for granted the comradarie there was in the military. Dumb old me, I just assumed that every job I did, I would be surrounded by people who were just like me and who I was going to be great friends with. HA! And, of course, just the realization that you have a job where you can actually make a difference in the world instead of the bullshit jobs there are in the civilian sector... Yeah, never should have left. I hear you, brother...
58 year old Army Cold War era Veteran here, know what you mean, but I always feel good for being me. If the civies don’t like me, zero F’s given. People think I’m antisocial, my daughter loves telling them, “my Dad isn’t antisocial he just doesn’t like PEOPLE.” 🤣
I love that as much as Payne hates Stone. Never hits him, and actually protects him by putting himself in front of him, because of Stone's Step Father.
Here's a list of some comedies: 1. Drop Dead Gorgeous 2. Low Down Dirty Shame (The oldest Wayans brother is the male lead) 3. The Five Heartbeats (more of a drama-comedy and the best depiction of a singing group ever made) 4. The Best Man 5. Overboard
Oh man I would LOVE for them to react to Drop Dead Gorgeous, one of my favorite comedies. It is SO underrated and just hilarious, everyone is so funny and brings there comedic chops! I've also always loved that it's a dark comedy.
@@momD612 Oh please. Jada is a phenomenal actress, she just got blacklisted around 2011 along with Edward Norton and many other celebs for actually being human, and not bending over, sometimes literally, for every produce. Some people aren't cut out for Hollywood, they are just too real. Jada can do comedy and drama. When you see celebs disappear it's because they have been blacklisted for upsetting a high up producer. She still works btw!
The actress playing the councilor had a starring role in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The red head is also in the American Pie films. The actor playing Tiger had a starring role in That's So Raven
I remember seeing this movie in the theatre. It came out the year after I graduated high school. Friend of mine and I saw this maybe 5 times. Too fucking funny.
my dad was a drill instructor for 10+ years in the army all my friends growing up called him major payne lmfao 😂 🤣 such a classic movie one of my favorites
Favorite quotes: “when a man gets to eyeballing’ me, it makes my Agent Orange act up, & that gives me the urge to kill….is that clear?!?!! Ass eyes: SIR YESSSSSSSIRRRRR!!!! And: “KILLING IS MY BUSINESS &BUSINESS IS GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite part is when he introduces himself to the squad for the first time and the one young black kid starts laughing calling him his brother, if he comes up to him and yells at I am not your damn brother. I'm pretty sure that is actually his youngest brother in real life, one of the Wayans brothers
@@simplyjuannie5128 you are totally correct I think he's the son of the oldest sister Elvira I believe, I do know that his name is Damien Dante Wayans. Such an amazing talented family even Damon Wayans Jr is now making a name for himself in Hollywood on the new girl, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But I will always remember above all else homie the Clown, Damon senior was the most hilarious part of In Living Color cuz Homie don't play that
Love this movie watch it so many times that still quote it. Fun fact the big guy with tattoos major payne fought was wwe\f and wcw wrestler bam bam Bigelow.
The actor who plays Stone's step-dad was Michael Ironside, who had roles in Total Recall, the original Top Gun, Free Willy, and was Colonel Rasczak (pronounced Rad-chek) in Starship Troopers. And he somewhat resembles Jack Nicholson.
This movie has one of those jokes I will NEVER forget for as long as I live. *Man writhing in pain from a gunshot wound* Major Payne: Want me to take your mind off that pain? *BREAKS HIS FINGER*
@@OctoKrool killing is their business… And business is good! 🤣 I was in the Corps when this movie came out. My family knows every line of this movie. Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga…toot toot. Payne, I can’t feel my legs…😳 cause they ain’t there bubba. Unless you can flip up on your hands and wiggle those little nubs you ain’t gonna make it! 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤣
I would recommend watching "Fighting with my Family" if your interested in a modern comedy. Really funny and heartfelt. PS it also has "The Rock" in it.
Love this movie it's a family movie regular in my house. One of my favorite lines was when he told stone he would be o. Him like white on rice One paper plate in a snowstorm, illput my foot so deep in your butt the water from my knee will quench your thirst. Hilarious. I love his character arch how he became so protective of the kids. My second favorite scene was him shooting the closest, if he's still in there he ain't happy.
The guy who plays Dwight is actually another member of the Wayans family. He stars in a pretty hilarious movie named Malibu's Most Wanted, you guys should Definitely check it out, trust me.
So glad y’all reacted to this movie 😁I knew y’all would get a lot of laughs. Please react to Eve’s Bayou and Antwone Fisher,I really think you’ll like them.
Immediately faved before I even watched it lmao love you guys and your reactions and your wild attitude ;-) it's an awesome movie so I already know this is gonna be great. Keep on doing the "most difficult job in the world" lol brings us a lot of joy and relief. Keep on my guys, thanks for the awesome content
Oh yesss I grew up watching this and loved it! Damon Wayne's is the best. Unfortunately in today's society people would be butt hurt cause of some of his jokes. Cancel culture sucks and don't know how to have fun or understand jokes. Smh. But glad u guys watched this one!
This is one of my guilt pleasures movies. I know it ain’t good, but if it’s on I’m going to watch it and laugh every time. “There’s got to be someone left needs killin’ “ 🤣
Hi guys, I recommend you to react to the song “Tank park salut” by Billy Bragg. It’s so deep and so beautiful, a real gemstone. Even it’s about a father I’m dedicating it to my mother who passed away July the 06th, 2022. This pain is killing me. Sleep well mom. 💔🌹🥺😭 Lu
You guys probably already know this but the two officers on White chicks Kevin and Marlin i think were their names this is their Brother the guy playing as Major Payne
I was in the Marines, and even though this film is very much unrealistic, the dialogue from Major Payne is definitely the kind of stuff that actual Marine Drill Instructors come up with.
The 6 year old is Orlando Brown from That's So Raven, the one, D who he tells is not his brother is actually his brother in real life. Damian Dante Wayans. The mom is hilary from the fresh prince
