We couldn’t breathe laughing at *MY COUSIN VINNY* (First time watching reaction) 

Not sure how often you check your business email. But I sent you an email about a free elgato capture card(it says it in the subject line). Big fan! I'm tired of hearing the movie audio come through your mic lol

yep. Shown in classes even overseas.

This is an often-cited comment regarding this film, and while it's technically true, it is because most other films are just soooooo inaccurate, you only had to get a few things right to be considered, "one of the most accurate portrayals." For instance, walking in to the well to talk to witnesses is not allowed in every American jurisdiction.

A channel known as LegalEagle has a pretty good video about the portrayals of this movie.

Yeah. My only beef with it is the judge commits reversible error by admitting the FBI auto expert testimony over Vinny’s correct objection. Any convictions should have been thrown out because of it.

@@michaelrohan443 True, but I think that was more a depiction of the judge's character rather than a "Hollywood error". Basically showing that the judge is stubborn to a fault. The movie did acknowledge that Vinny's objection was correct, it was just that the judge was overruling him based more on his low opinion of Vinny at the time (which unfortunately does happen IRL from time to time).

That was just because so many critics think all films should be art films and hate comedy like this. They just couldn't accept Marisa Tomei winning.

Another piece of trivia is that she had all sorts of voice lessons to lose her “Brooklyn accent.” And here she wins an Oscar with that accent on full display.

And now no one can remember the movies she was up against while people are still watching (and loving) My Cousin Vinny.

​@@democrrrracymanifest Which was effectively invalidated when _La Land Land_ was mistakenly announced instead of _Moonlight_ as the 89th Oscars Best Picture winner, not to mention when Anthony Hopkins _(The Father)_ upset Chadwick Boseman _(Ma Rainey's Black Bottom)_ in Best Actor to close the 93rd Oscars. If the wrong names get incorrectly read, there will be stage managers on that shit right away, without question.

As was said of another actress, Marisa Tomei must be given an Oscar every year whether or not she makes a movie.

Yeah... Unfortunately this was his last film role. He died the year after this came out in 1993 from pancreatic cancer.

And the actor who played Sheriff Farley was D Day in Animal House.

And who can forget him in Pet Semetary? Best stay away from that rud, Lewis

@@DookyShoes1 Ayuh.

And don’t forget his earlier tv series “Car 54 Where are You?”. Cheers

On paper, you wouldn't expect this movie to have such a tight screenplay. But it's so smart while being funny at the same time!

Thank you for mentioning the third point. When I was in college, one of the required classes was Intro to Business Law. It's a basic course to introduce people who are going to be management or business owners the very basics of law. On the first day of class, we were waiting for teacher to come in. Five minutes after the class was supposed to start a man walks in, doesn't say anything, just goes to the teacher's desk, sets down a briefcase, takes off his jacket, then walks back out. A couple minutes later, he walks back in, goes up, grabs the briefcase and walks back out. Never says anything, or looks at anyone. Most of the class is ignoring him and chatting among themselves, because class hasn't started. A couple minutes later, he comes back in, stands at the back of the room and, loudly, tells everyone to pay attention, face forward and not look to the back of the room. He instructs everyone to pull out a pen and paper. He says a crime has been committed in the room and everyone is to write down what they remember seeing. No two descriptions of him, or what he did, were the same, or even really close. That was his intro lesson, and a demonstration of why an eye-witness is one of the most unreliable pieces of evidence. He was a great teacher, and I loved how he ran his class. He was an ex-Marine lawyer. Intelligent, witty and funny.

​@@samuelvincent557 not even slightly surprised he was a Marine. That is exactly how a Marine would run a class.

Lei ha una bellezza abbagliante ❤❤❤

weirdly another reactor I follow (Ryan Carrington) just reacted to this movie today too.

Yeah that's actually what I got out of that scene too. It wasn't dead-quiet and then _suddenly_ loud jarring noise, the sound of the prison was more akin to the constant background sounds of a city. Especially one like New York. I thought that was a pretty clever, subtle and nice touch by the writer and director. As was the change between Joe's character before that point and after, showcasing just how much of a difference a good night's sleep and ability to de-stress can have on a person's performance.

Also, most likely, the judge wasn't playing chess by himself. In the olden days, people would, sometimes, play chess by correspondence. You would send a letter with your move to your opponent, and then when they made their move they would mail their move back. Those games could take months to years. I'm imagining that the judge was playing with a colleague of his, and Vinny just messed it up. So to recover that game, the judge would have to go through ALL the letters to reset the board, or have his opponent send a diagram or picture of his board.

I always took this scene as the judge was playing a chess game, formal and calculated, not just physically but also mentally as he was trying to outfox Joe with the mental chess game of who he actually was. Before Joe comes into the room, the judge makes his move in both games, smiling at the thought of checking his opponent. Joe "Gallo" comes in, makes his move in the other chess game that's going on before knocking the physical chess game over.

@@Riffman42 it's possible

Her deer hunting horror was incredible.

That's not entirely true. It's more accurate than most films in regards to the legal stuff, but it's not entirely. Most other films are just so loosey-goosey with procedure, that making an attempt to be reasonably accurate gets it hailed as one of the most accurate movies ever.

Nice way to add some fog to the judge's memory to make him seem more convinced of Pesci's silly deceptions.

He had a tough time with being typecast, that it really limited his career, and caused him a lot of heartache. Call him Fred!

It's unfortunate his career outside of The Munsters is so limited. He was a tremendously talented actor, and could disappear into any role, and they were always so compelling. I always loved him in Pet Sematary and the small roles he had in Fatal Attraction, Ironweed and others.

I always think they're cute!

Strong agree! Pesci and Fraser each had more fun and more serious roles but With Honors was the whole deal plus a perfect soundtrack and the supporting cast felt real too.

I don't know.... 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag was pretty great and right in his wheel-house hahaha

@@sassysuzy4u LOL Right. In his wheelhouse. It's a performance and character you'd expect from Pesci. With Honors however is a massive departure from those characters and truly shows Pesci's acting skills in a character driven Drama. (And yes I know some of your reply is a joke, but I did want to reply to you just in case others might not know about either movie.)

@@SmaugUKA I am glad you got that I wasn’t seriously presenting it as his best work. hahaha I do think it is underrated though, but yeah definitely “Pesci”.

Came to the comments to make the same suggestion! With Honors is a wonderful, vulnerable Pesci. While still a smart ass.

The sponsor segment is BS. I pay youtube not to see commercials and yet, here they are. Total BS. Thats why I'll never give a like or subscription. If you need money, get form the billions RU-vid brings in from suckers like me.

Oh, man. So, you ruined it for yourself then! It's a hilarious film, and you should have watched the movie before you sat down to watch the reaction. You just deprived yourself of a great opportunity.

@@trekkiejunk don’t worry I have the memory of a goldfish. I will forget by a month and just remember a movie with a funny name sounds familiar then I’ll watch it again

I would say a good sign because he won a murder case

I mean it was bound to happen, they upload every week lol

@@Hey_Jamie i found them week ago. Im new :D

No villains except maybe the actual villains who murdered the convenience store clerk.

Thank you for the recommendations! We definitely need to catch up on a lot of classics haha

Definitely Labyrinth!!!!
