True Lies | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review | Movie Commentary 

Spit take of the week: “Oh. The poor pooper!” Priceless.

This movie isn't making fun of action movies. It's a celebration of action movies! 🥳

This movie was a perfect blend of action and comedy. Of all the movies that needed a sequel, it was this one.

According to an interview, when Jamie Lee Curtis falls in the dance at the end, it was an honest mistake cause she had been training so much that her legs were exhausted. But they kept it in the film since it was perfect for the character

I really enjoyed the side kick comic relief from Tom Arnold, he was also perfect in his role. Shame a sequel was never made for this movie.

Rest in Peace Bill Paxton. In the first Terminator movie and in Aliens and brilliant as the used car salesman in this movie.

If you like Schwarzenegger comedy then definitely check out Kindergarten Cop

21:37 - That was a "blooper". She wasn't supposed to slip and fall, and Arnold's reaction is genuine concern. But she kept going and it made the scene so much more funny! 🤣

Bless you Dasha; When the older gentleman was on the toilet while the bathroom was being shot up and you said…”the poor pooper”, I nearly choked on my ice cream. You are priceless!

This is one of the most fun movies ever. It's not just action and wisecracks. There's so many cleverly awkward moments for characters, too. It gets you more involved.

James Cameron doing comedy was more surprising to me than an Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy because after starting purely in action movies, Arnold actually did quite a few action-comedies.

Fun fact. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Paxton (the used car salesman) were in Terminator together. Do you remember when the Terminator has just arrived from the future and walks over to the 3 punks and demands their clothes? Bill Paxton was one of the punks.

"You're fired" is one of the greatest one liners I've ever heard, Dasha! Keep watching these awesome movies. 🎬

15:04 “Maybe she’s sleepy” was always one of my favorite lines. Also the way Tom Arnold grins and keeps looking at Arnold is hilarious

Oh Arnold can do comedy. I’d recommend “Kindergarten Cop” or “Twins” to watch next. Classic movies.

Still amazes me that Jamie Lee actually did that car stunt. This is definitely a movie I wish had gotten a sequel.

In every Schwarzenegger movie, there’s a Stallone reference, and every Stallone movie has a Schwarzenegger reference. It’s a running joke between them.

Arnold didn’t have the horsepower to make that skyscraper jump to the pool. I’ll show myself the door.

I love your reactions to this. You understood how the tone kept shifting and how deliberately over-the-top it was (like a horse chasing a motorcycle.) Fun fact: James Cameron insisted that Jamie Lee Curtis get equal billing with Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's why their names both appear at the same time in the opening credits. It's the one of the few times Arnold did not get top billing by himself.

With all the humor it is a welcomed change from the other action movies of the time. Tom Arnold was the perfect comic relief buddy that everyone needs. It may have been a bit farfetched, but that is part of the fun.

More reactors should be like Dasha. There is no need to take 3-4 minutes before you start the movie.

I really love her "You know?" she adds on. It gives a lot of character.

I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out. Think it was the most fun I have had watching a movie. Everyone in the theater loved it.

Tom Arnold's story about the ice trays reminded me of a story about a friend I used to work with. He came home from work one day and found his wife and packed up everything in the house except for a bar of girly soap in the bathroom shaped like a rose. The first I heard of it was 6 months later when another friend was asking him if he still had that bar of soap. He said "Yes it's amazing how long a bar of soap will last when the only thing you wash with it is your a-hole."

🤣😂 "The poor Pooper" . . . BEST LINE EVER. 😂🤣 Love your reviews. 👍

This movie was the *perfect* action-comedy, with a star who was a confirmed action superstar, but could pull-off comedic lines smoothly, a co-star (Tom Arnold) who had excellent 'chops' in the comedy genre, but was such a good actor that he could pull-off some action stuff, with a major supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis) who's another one with seriously good acting credentials, who manages to be believable when delivering hilarious comedy lines! And all the other supporting roles had actors who proved to be more than merely capable, but also we're *excellent* at playing *their* roles! The writing took full advantage of all this talent, with Cameron doing his usual *superb* job at directing! So glad you did this! Happy to see that you enjoyed it so much! When you do _"Last Action Hero"_ you'll see that Schwarzenegger really is just, plain and simple, an *excellent* actor! If Hollywood didn't have a 'thing' against the Action-Comedy genre in general (& Schwarzenegger in particular) he'd have a *bunch* of Oscar awards! Heck, _"End Of Days"_ proves he can do an excellent job with serious dramatic roles! Either of those last two - _"Last Action Hero"_ *or* _"End Of Days"_ - would be *great* to react to! _"End Of Days"_ is a little creepy in parts; it was made in 1999, when there was a fair amount of talk about Millennium/End-of-the-World stuff going on. This was one of a few different movies of 'Satan-coming-to-Earth' kind of story-lines. The movie itself was just 'good' (I give it 7.5-to-8 out of 10), but Arnold was really *very* good with his role! I'd love to watch you do them! *Enjoy!*

Carlos is Bill Paxton. He was Pvt Hudson In Aliens and he was in the first Terminator movie as the lead punk.

You may not have gotten the reference, but Stallone and Schwarzenegger were rival action film stars at the same time and often poked fun at each other in their movies. To the delight of fans, they finally teamed up in Escape Plan (awesome movie) and the Expendables movies.

I love this film True Lies directed by James Cameron starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold. This film is a remake of the 1991 french film La Totale!. Thank you Dasha great reaction excellent😊👍

One of the best action movies of the 90s.

Dasha, this was so much fun! For several years in Hollywood Jamie Lee Curtis was known as "The Body". 😉

The scene is surely silly by now (if even back then), but ooh boy did I and many others swoon over that infamous strip dance scene. I was four years old, and watched the VHS plenty, so things naturally started budding in me with each repeated viewing.

Great Reaction Dasha! This movie is tons of fun, with great performances by Arnold, Jamie Lee, and Tom Arnold. Happy Friday!

This movie is so fantastic. All the one liners, Arnie, Jamie Lee Curtis awesome. Another great movie with Jamie Lee Curtis is A Fish Called Wanda, you'd like it. Edit: And a shoutout to Bill Paxton. He's always a win.

True Lies is a great combo of action/comedy/romance. It is hard to balance 3 different type of movies together, because you have to make sure that each portion is important to both the story and the characters. And yet, the talent ON screen to combine these elements was perfectly cast to tailor each role. Arnold's history of action movies helps sell it, Tom's history as a comedian/writer helps sell it, and Jamie Lee's history of being the romantic interests in so many roles helps sell it. Keeping the other cast members more or less "grounded" as serious roles, helps elevate the portion you want to highlight by the actor on screen. It also helped that the cast had a LONG history of working with Cameron either on screen or in a personal way. So they all trusted Cameron's vision as well as "story telling" director ability. There was a HUGE amount of trust with the cast to "go along" with a scene or concept to know that it might not make sense "now", but will make sense "later". So, actors were able to "go outside of comfort zones" because of the trust, and knew that it would come together to make a great movie in the end. And it shows, because this has become one of the most recommended films to view once you step outside of Arnold's "action hero" stereotypes. (Well, True Lies and Kindergarten Cop tend to be the 2 most recommended films after his Terminator/Commando/Predator type roles.)

Oh! The poor Pooper! Had to go back to make sure I heard that correctly...Very funny reaction.

It's not about your reaction, it's about your positive vibes Dasha, we all need your vibes in our lives :)

This is my favorite Arnold movie. When I was a kid we went to the Bahamas and the bridge that is blown up in this movie is still there blown up.

Gotta love Gibb..."maybe she's sleepy" 😂😂😂

I always loved when Schwarzenegger movies mention Rambo or when Stallone movies mention Schwarzenegger. They were the 2 BIG action stars of the 80's and somewhat into the 90's and they had fun poking fun at each other!

18:20 Okay. Observe the change in Helen's demeanor. She _was_ scared, and the information flowed from her _freely._ Then they accused her of being unfaithful to her husband. Then they _doubled down_ on that accusation. So _now,_ she's offended.

"The Last Action Hero" is another Schwarzenegger movie that pokes a lot of fun at the action genre. It never got very much love, but I think it's an underrated gem.

A great childhood memory of mine. "You're fired" is just among the list of Arnold's corniest yet most badass one-liners. And you're so right about Jamie being hot. That form can make man go "Homina homina homina"

Harry comes in, hanging from a helicopter to rescue his wife. Dasha, "What a romantic moment!" Me, "Well that's a high bar for us mortals to hit."

Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the people that has always been drop dead gorgeous

06:51 FUN FACT the guy in the green army coat was actually ARNOLD'S stunt double in TERMINATOR 1984 & he's wearing almost the same green coat that ARNOLD wore in that movie

The beautiful water you see is on the old 7 mile bridge in the Florida Keys. I love this movie. I don’t know if this is true but I remember hearing a lot back then that True Lies script was written specifically for James Bond but it was turned down. Either way I am happy they still made it as it’s one of my favorite action movies.

Bill Paxton was perfect as the sleazy used car salesman. That moustache really sold it!

I love this movie "True Lies" one of my favorites, this reaction was amazing, you should react to Red Heat (1988) w/ Arnold Schwarzenegger I think you'll like it Dasha

It was one of the funniest bluckbusters of the 90s. If you want to see movies of this style that combine great action with touches of comedy, I recommend the Lethal Weapon saga with Mel Gibson, and Bad Boys 1, 2 and 3 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

Arnold is great at comedy. I'm convinced he was the only one in Batman Forever that understood the movie he was in.

I love Jamie Lee Curtis's films not only because she is an amazing actor but because my step grandmother was her nanny. My grandmother would talk about it all the time so she has a special place in my heart. Thank you for reacting to this movie.

This is the best 'True Lies' reaction ever. You watching Jamie lee Curtis' dance was amazing

I noticed that Charlton Heston, (Omega's Director) Bore a strong resemblance to Marve'ls original Nick Fury character. This is still one of the best action-comedies ever, Dasha!! The scene where Harry chases the terrorist thru the hotel on a horse is great--(Horses can corner easier than any vehicle and can top out almost 50 MPH) And that was a real stunt-jump the motorcycle guy did, not CGI unlike many of today's movies!!

The formal attire under the wet suit goes back to Sean Connery as James Bond. So classic!

I’d like to point out my own favorite member of the cast - Eliza Dushku, playing Dana. Five years after this, she’d play Faith on the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and her career took off. Unfortunately, I can’t mention her without also calling attention to the fact that years later, she revealed that she was molested by a stunt coordinator on the film.

Just a few points of interest. In the first Terminator, when Arnold (The Terminator) kills the three punks in the beginning, the one who says, “I think this guy is a couple kegs short of a six pack.”, is the car salesman in this film. When you watch the classic film, Psycho, the stunningly beautiful woman in the beginning of the film is Jamie Lee Curtis’s (Helen) mom in real life. And when you watch the cult classic rocumentary , This is Spinal Tap - which just confirmed to be doing a sequel - the lead guitarist (Nigel Tufnel) is Jamie Lee’s husband.

my father is a big fan of Arnold and i remember watching this movie all the time,and when i got older i got it on DVD ,i still watch it all the time its so funny 😄💜

If you enjoyed this kind of spy movie, you must watched some James Bond films. I recommended GoldenEye (1995) and Casino Royale (2006). Although both films were directed by Martin Campbell, the tone of each one is different. GoldenEye has a more fanciful tone and involved two Russian girls. On the other hand, Casino Royale has a realistic tone and a great action scenes; it was the best action movie in 2006.

Great reaction, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You ought to check out Commando, it's another Arnie action movie with tongue-in-cheek humor. Kindergarten Cop's good too.

@22:13, dang those bad guys. In another minute or two, Harry and Helen were about to have a different type of adventure 😉🤪😜

Great reaction to a well done movie that had all the action and unexpected fun comedy and was well written. Great supporting cast as well with Tom Arnold, and even a young Eliza Dushku, as Dana their daughter who went on to tv fame in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and even Bill Paxton (the "spy who peed himself") who was Hudson in the Aliens movie you reacted to not too long ago... just a great and fun movie!

One of my favorite lines is when Jamie asked him if he ever Killed anyone and he answered : Yes , but they were all bad

4:59 It's a defining trait of _every_ good thriller that the protagonist has to have at least a _slightly_ antagonistic relationship with the authorities. In the event that they _are_ authorities, this is going to put them at odds with their immediate superiors.

Yesss one of my favorite Schwarzenegger and Cameron movies! Incredibly underrated.

You're worried about "the pooper"? LMAO. Keep up the great work.

I want such movies BACK!

That ballroom in the beginning is a mansion in Newport Rhodesia Island. It was beautiful.

Almost 60,000 subs! Congrats Dasha. 100k soon! ❤️

Its always fun seeing younger people see Jamie Lee Curtis for the first time in this movie. Her character is so frumpy, but prior to this she was known as "The Body," because she just had the absolute perfect figure. The moment she strips off and people realise this isn't some frumpy housewife is always fun to watch.

21:58 i love when dasha strikes her wonder woman pose

React Arnold Schwarzenegger again in Commando 1985. Another action movie for you.

Jaime Lee Curtis is the original scream queen from the "Halloween" movies

scolding the horse is the best part of this movie, hands down. "Look at me when I talk to you"

Está película es un clásico del cine "comedia acción"

Don't miss the little scene after the credits with Tom Arnold complaining about being stuck in the van. :)

For James Cameron movies I recommend Titanic and Avatar. Both are beautifully shot and are epic movies.

This is a really great movie with both comedy and action. Your reactions were so fun, love your laugh. The bridge they blew up with the jets was the old Key West bridge in Florida. It is where you said it was so beautiful. I have been there a few times and it is truly a beautiful area with very clear waters. Thanks for the super fun video.

You will love Twins with Arnold. Imagine finding an almost identical Arnold to be in the movie with him.

Always such fun to watch a great reaction video to a classic movie! Thanks!

It's quite incredible to think that James Cameron was already working on Titanic when this movie came out.

4:18 "Kid's, today, are _ten years_ ahead of where _we_ were at the same age." Oh, Albert, just you wait.

I have watched this film countless times. But seeing it again through your eyes and laughter was just terrific. It is amazing that it elicits so much laughter. Be safe y'all.

Schwarzenegger is great in "Kindergarten Cop" as well. He has good comedic timing.

P. S. Many young men grew up the day they saw that scene of Jamie Lee Curtis dancing. 👀

Dasha, you should check out Scent of a Woman. Starring Al Pacino. One of my all time favorite movies. And there’s a tango scene in it.

This is one of my all time favorite Arnold movies! All around great flick!

Schwarzenegger is dancing to Por una Cabeza(1935, By a Head); it's a Tango song written by Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera.

Great Reaction video Dasha! True Lies has always been one of my Favorites! Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold and Bill Paxton make the movie serious and yet funny at the same time! Although, Jamie Lee Curtis in this movie and Trading Places (looking hot) adds that touch of Spice!

Arnold Schwarzenegger talent for comedy is vastly under-rated and he is always up for taking the mickey out of himself. I can hardly wait until you do Kindergarten Cop, kerk

You would love "Knight and Day", staring Tom Cruise

"Fear Is Not An Option."

If you want more Comedic Arnold Schwarzenegger: You MUST react to Kindergarten Cop (1990). That is Arnold at his BEST! 👍👍

Jamie Lee Curtis definitely shows that not only is she one of the original scream queens, but she can put on a very sexy dance when called on.

Great reaction! 👍🏿 I saw this film in the theaters. It was a great experience.

This was the most fun that I have ever seen you react to a movie!! Loved this movie in the theatre!! Please do the following movies: Batman - 1989, Batman Returns - 1992, the rest of the Rambo Franchise, rest of the Rocky Franchise, Judge Dredd - 1995, Halloween - 1978, Friday 13th - 1980.

Probably my favorite humor/action movie. Thanks for the reaction! By the way, the used cars salesman is Bill Paxton, who played Private Hudson in Aliens.

Omg I love that you watch so many random older movies other reactors don't watch. You should do Last Acton Hero next! Another Arnold classic that's funny and action packed!

"Action Oriented" is the term you were looking for. Thanks for sharing.

"He's a Poor Pooper" Loved it . 11
