ROMANCING THE STONE (1984) | First Time Watching | MOVIE REACTION | Nice Snappers! 

I took my future wife to the movies to watch this, it was our second date. We were married for thirty years before she passed away. We collected around 1500 movies over the years and must have watched this and Jewel of the Nile a good hundred times. Thanks for watching this it brought back a lot of good memories

My family loves this movie. So much so that, a few years ago, when my parents bought an electric cart for their ranch they named it Pepe and even put a Mule sticker on it.

Turner and Douglas have great chemistry. They also star in The War of the Roses, which is quite an entertaining movie.

That line about the American Express Travelers Checks was an homage to the wonderful actor, Karl Malden, Michael Douglas's former co-star in the show that gave Michael his start, "The Streets of San Francisco". Karl was a spokesperson for Amex Travelers Checks for years. It got a lot of laughs when this first came out; today almost no one under the age of 40 would get the reference.

I watched this movie SOOOOO many times. Of course that was before Netflix, where you owned maybe 20 vhs tapes and rewatched the same ones many times, but I still enjoyed watching it over and over.

It's awesome because Michael Douglas worked with Karl Malden, who did commercials for American Express. DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT

1. "War of the Roses" with Kathleen, Danny, and Michael is an awesome film, but it's much darker. 2. Alligators are fresh water and have square shaped snouts while crocodiles are salt water and have round snouts. 3. My favorite character is Juan the bellmaker. 4. Snake doesn't really have a taste so to speak. It tastes mostly what you put on it. 5. Nothing wrong with enjoying a fun movie.

This wasn't Alan Silvestri's first score, but it was the one that made me watch for the composer's credit the next time I watched it. It was clear that Silvestri was going to hit the big time even back then--I just didn't know what a legend he would become.

i cannot believe someone was finally willing to react to this movie. One of my teachers made us watch this in school once and ive loved it ever since. You guys are awesome for this.

The producers had to get permission from the City of New York to take down 4 blocks of power lines, and overhanging street lights in order to film the last shot of the movie.

Jack T. Colton's intro with that sawed off shotgun was the greatest hero reveal since Indiana Jones in Raiders.

This is one of those movies that I watched so much when I was really little, everything about it makes me feel 6 years old. Love it.

This is a CLASSIC 80s adventure romance. And honestly, Douglas, Divito, and Turner gave Amazing performances! And the fact that there is a sequel. I would personally LOVE to see more sequels, since she was a fiction writer. The parody adventures are practically endless!

"All it took was a pickle tickle" OMG I laughed SO HARD at that line!!! I've never heard it before!! Great job Mrs!! lol!! Now back to watching the rest of this video. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. for watching this great 80's movie!

This was the first vhs I ever rented from a video rental store probably around 1986. At some point I must’ve recorded it off the tv because I remember watching it a lot when I was a kid. I loved it!

Probably haven't seen this movie since I was 6 or 7, one of the first things my dad recorded on the VHS he was finally able to afford. Insane that a new VHS player in 1980 was the equivalent to $2000 in todays money :) Can comfortably say that I don't remember a single thing other than them sliding down a mountain.

I love when the Mrs laughs! Impossible not to laugh too!

My wife and I where only about 5 years old when this movie came out but we found together and loved especially the dance scene . My wife passed away about 5 years ago every time I see anything on this makes me think of her

Yes that was Chandler Bing's Dad and her agent was Charlie and Alan Harper's Mom. There is a sequel and as I recall the boat is involved. You should also check out The War of The Roses with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito.

One of my big favourites as a kid, this movie is just way up there among the best!

One of the best 80’s films. Action, adventure, comedy, romance. I miss this era of Hollywood.

One of my all time favorites. I watched this so many times as a kid. One day I noticed in the credits that the lady who smacked DeVito around for being under her table was cast as Hefty Woman. Still cracks me up decades later.

This is a damn good Michael Douglas movie one of my favorites. Yall should check out Falling Down one of the best Michael Douglas performances. Keep up the great work 👍 👏

Two great movies with Kathleen Turner: "Undercover Blues" "V.I. Warshawski"

Fun Fact: The actor playing Grogan in the opening western sequence is long time actor/stuntman Ted White, who was a stunt double for actors like John Wayne and Clark Gable, and most famously played Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

I'm so happy y'all got this gem (get it?!) into your schedule. Hope you watch the sequel as well! Much love from Houston!

Gators be saying "Never cooked one of these before. When do ya flip em? 😁

One of my childhood's films. It's part of an unofficial trilogy: Romancing The Stone is when the couple meets, The Jewel of the Nile is the crisis in the relationship and The War of the Roses is the literal battle of the divorce.

Yes, she did play Chandler's dad! She's not a smoker, she's just always had a sultry voice. I worked on this movie, pure dumb luck. It was filmed in México, and I went to the Hotel Xalapa to party at the bar. When I went to use the head, there was Michael Douglas taking a leak. Surprised he was so short, and he was surprised that I spoke English (I'm half-and-half Mexican/American). The assistant producer was looking for gophers, to fetch stuff, get coffee, and in my case I could also translate (the fancy term is "production assistant", but basically a general peon). I had a big crush on Kathleen Turner, never watched her in the soaps but I've followed her movie career, it was her and Diane Lane. 😁 When I saw her in "Body Heat" I almost melted. "Joan Wilder" is a made-up name for this movie. So I know I've never read any of her books, and neither has anybody else... 😁 The scene where her sister gets knocked out and kidnapped is the malecón, the harbor drive in the port of Veracruz. The castle is San Juán de Ulúa, the old Spanish fort. Well, some of it is... Mostly what we have in México is caymán, rather than alligators. Yes, you pronounced Cartagena just fine, but of course Cartagena is in Colombia, which is where this movie is set. The locations and most of the local actors and the party at the town square are all Mexican however. It's a beautiful and very varied country. As for "Quan-TEE-co", I don't know where you're getting that from. Quantico Virginia was not named through Spanish influence. "American Express...?" Karl Malden, who played his senior partner in the TV show "The Streets of San Francisco", used to do commercials for American Express traveler's checks. Moisture doesn't make a rock face any softer. It does however make them slippery. I know, I've climbed plenty of rocks in the Marine Corps. "... I went to college..." I've used that line a lot since then... that, and "very tasty..." 😁 No snake doesn't taste like chicken. It tastes like snake. Still very good, though. You forgot to show his new boots... guess where the leather came from... 😎 You're right, you'll never see a sailboat being towed with the mast and rigging stepped, much less with sails hoisted. Pure Hollywood. I don't know how they arranged this scene in New York, I worked only in México. So, are you gonna watch the sequel, "The Jewel of the Nile"? Not as good maybe, but still fun. Another great one with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito is "The War of the Roses", but that one goes in a totally different direction. Up to you. Or at least watch "Body Heat", it's a good thriller, she costars with William Hurt, Ted Danson, and Richard Crenna from "First Blood". So I'd say my favorite adventure scene is the very begging when they first meet and deal with both the torrential downpour in the rain forest and end up in the crashed drug plane, a lot of hilarious moments... "Oh, man, the Doobie Brothers broke up!" "You HAVE been down here a long time, haven't you?"

Yes! Total 80's classic.

0:04 is the most married thing I've ever heard! 😆 I love you guys! Love this movie! Glad you liked it. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Something I recently learned, If their snoot is pointed like an "A", it is a crocodile. If their snoot is rounded like a "C", is is an alligator.

Y’all are one of the cutest, sweetest, couples:)♥️😎🤗. Thank you for all the fun times you bring us! And, Happy Mother’s Day to Mrs. Movies!:)

The chase scenes in this and the next movie are some of my favorites.

I love Romancing the Stone. When I was a kid I watched that and Beastmaster again and again on HBO. Jewel of the Nile is nowhere near as good, but it's worth checking out once.

17:40 Holy shit that's El Guapo from Three Amigos!!

A great, forgotten comedy that I used to watch on cable TV plenty of times in the 80s. By the way, alligators have a ''U'-shaped snout while a crocodile has a 'V'-shaped one. 🐊

I love this movie. Probably seen it a million times since I was a kid.

One of my favorites.

Great reaction. When I was growing up in the 80s it felt like it was on cable every other day. I saw it so many times. My favorite part is when the are in the rain and get caught in the mud slide then go to the bridge.

“The Game” with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. suspense/thriller

This movie is easily in my top 10 childhood favorites.

Jewel of the Nile needs to be watched now

Loved the reaction. I remember seeing this movie in '84 on a family vacation in Florida. A little bonus for me was getting to see the trailer for (still unreleased) Temple of Doom. A little trivia for you Mr. Movie, after the blizzard of 1988 (which was essentially a snow hurricane) New York city moved all their power lines underground. So, wires for the boat were not an issue. :)

Yep that is chandlers dad. U really should watch War of the roses starring these two it's brilliant movie truly underated movie.

I have fond memories of seeing this in college .. I spent a lot of time at the movie theaters, seeing 2 or 3 every weekend for a couple of years there... good times, unlimited budgets

"Whatever happened to Lupe?" We don't talk about Lupe.

The part about American Express was a joke. Michael Douglas was in a tv show called The Streets of San Franciso with Karl Malden. Karl Malden was a spokesman and did commercials for American Express.

O man one of my favorite memories of when my house only recently got cable hooked up, and we had The Movie Channel playing stuff like this.

You should give Grosse Pointe Blank, a watch. Another rom com but so good. You'll love it.👍

I remember seeing this as a child and thinking, "That guy is buff." 🤣

Ralph: "So anyway, I started blasting..."

I agree, the little mule scene. Yes, check out The Jewel of the Nile.

Indiana Jones is the standard by which all adventure films must be measured... This one holds up.

"Pickle tickle" LOL! Very down to Earth . . .

A highly underrated movie.

I love this movie. Just pure fun, cheesy, and entertaining.

Great flick.....You're onto the goodies now

Great reaction you two. This is one of my all-time favorite movies !!! I'm so glad you could see it. As an FYI, Michael Douglas WAS the spokesperson for American Express Traveler's Checks for a long time (1968-1989), so he was their spokesperson WHILE this movie was being made. So, I'm sure, when Joan and Jack were negotiating for him to take her to civilization, where she said, "Would you take $275.00 in Traveler's Checks?" and he replied, "American Express?" were a reference to that. As another FYI, later in the movie, when Ralph saw his wanted poster in the police station (comisaría), the poster said, Ralph ( Se desconoce apellido) which means, "Ralph (surname unknown)".

Yeehaw...One of my favorites. Old school, Rom-com action.

FYI folks: Colombia is rainy specially in its Amazon region. Here in my country (Brazil) it was released as "Tudo por uma Esmeralda". Something like "Everything for an Emerald". Anyways, a great adventure comedy to watch. Love you 2 guys ✌️😎🇧🇷

Cool reaction as always Mr. & Mrs. Movies, please watch Jewel Of The Nile, a continuation of this film, that follows Douglas & Turner, you both take care

The is also a third movie with Douglas, Turner, & DeVito called "War of the Roses" that is not related to these films. I would highly recommend THAT one as well.

One of my favourites from the eighties. Love Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas in this, they had great chemistry.

Sweet! Another classic! Skippy! Popcorn! Let's get it!😎🍻🍷🚬👍👀

11:45 And that's how Michael Douglass got cancer.

I remember in the 80s these were my mom's favorites. They will usually come on back to back with Indiana Jones. A little something for Mom and Dad. I always felt there were the same.

“‘The’ Joan Wilder?!”

There's a bit of an inside joke regarding the scene where Joan Wilder offers to pay Jack in traveller's cheques. Jack, played by Michael Douglas, asks if the cheques are American Express, in homage to Michael Douglas, who was doing commercials for American Express at the time.

My favorite line from Michael Douglas is. "Jesus Christ. What the hell happened to my birds? Son of a bitch."

🤗 Romancing the stone is best romantic movie ever done. 🙌

22:08 - Why don’t you dance like that with me? ‘Cause you don’t dance like that with me. I can’t dance like. Well, there you go.”

If y'all enjoyed this, you'll probably enjoy The Jewel of the Nile as well. Danny DeVito gets a larger role and some big laughs.

Need a hand putting himself out - loved this joke.

The Grasshopper: equal parts cream, green creme de menthe and white creme de cacao, shaken over ice and served up.

Another great romantic comedy with action to check out is Grosse Pointe Blank with John Cusack, Minnie Driver and Dan Aykroyd, it's a criminally under rated film. It also has several notable co-stars like Alan Arkin, Jeremy Piven and Hank Azaria, as well as several other recognizable faces, not to mention a kickass soundtrack.

I really miss ridiculous car jumps. I mean real ones. If you like Chandler Bing's dad, check out Undercover Blues. Stanley Tucci's greatest role ever.

Mr and Mrs now this is Nostalgia. 😊 Will you do the sequel at some point, jewel of the nile? Man I miss 80s movies

Kathleen Turner's favorite scene was when the guys in Colombia knew who Joan Wilder was.

The Hubby: I like a little pickle tickle ME: ummm.... it means something totally different when a guy says that. Lmao

I remember thinking the sequel was terrible but it actually hsd a higher box office. I saw it as a kid, so maybe I would appreciate it more as an adult. But I didn't have a problem with the first movie.

I love this movie, and the sequel. It must have been difficult to edit for RU-vid though, because it has a ton of music. :D

cute how they randomly hold hands during videos

they unfortunately rarely make movies like this anymore. this movie and its sequel Jewel of the Nile are classic adventure movies. if you like movies like this but haven't seen Sahara (2005), i highly recommend it

fun film. great reaction! love the reactions to romantic comedy.

Kathleen Turner was one of my teen crushes back in 84. Oh, hold on, I was 23 then...

2:24 fun fact thats stunt man Ted White Aka Jason Voorhees from Part 4

This movie was filmed in Veracruz México, You can see mexican actors , Manuel Ojeda ( scary guy), Alfonso Arau ( drugdealer fan) , Chachita , Zamorita and others

I love this and have watched it many times. Kathleen Turner is good in Serial Mom and I even like Peggy Sue Got Married though I fast forward through parts of it nowadays.

Why did I think this was George of the jungle with Brandon Frazer from the thumbnail 😭

Romancing the stone the *jewel* of the 80s

A writer friend of mine said I inspired one of her characters and dedicated the novella to me. The character was a cowboy. An undead cowboy.

When this movie came out. The mud slide scene was shown repeatedly for every interview show they appeared on. Great times. "...Joan Wilder? I read your books" Great chemistry in this cast. First of three movies with these stars. Peggy Sue got married is another KT movie with time travel? and Nick Cage as a door wop singer. Nice job guys. No really.

Up until Romancing the Stone, Robert Zemeckis had not had a successful movie. The success of this one ensured that he would be able to make Back to the Future.

I've watched this movie once or twice every year since it's release. Love it.

If the Macy's parade route can handle balloons, he can keep his sail up.

Loved that movie. The latest Sandra Bullock movie Lost City is king of an hommage.

Yall got to react to RUTHLESS PEOPLE

24:41 Danny Devito plays the Penguin in Batman Returns (1992).

I remember this movie back as a kid in the 80s was one of my moms favorite movies. Had to watch this movie with her a bunch.
