When Your Career Is All Over the Place - John Travolta 

his baby picture are u kidding me😭 like that big eyes hamster meme rn

I’ve never seen a movie get a 0% on rotten tomatoes before. That’s crazy! One thing we can definitely say about John Travolta is that he has one of the most interesting film careers in Hollywood history!

John Travolta was outperformed by Nic Cage in face off. But it was probably only because Nic Cage was portraying John Travolta.

John's performance in From Paris With Love, I really enjoyed - I believe it is an underrated movie.

I think Tarantino needs to bring him back for his last movie. ;)

It’s actually impressive that John’s career has been around for so long that he has had many comebacks and setbacks: from Carrie to grease to Saturday night fever to the look who’s talking franchise to pulp fiction to get shorty to the generals daughter to face/off to battlefield earth to hairspray to the people vs oj Simpson to many other performances, good and bad. You definitely can’t say the man doesn’t have range. They should get him on for GQ where he breaks down his entire career.

Blow Out (1981) is a fantastic hidden gem of a film.

it feels like many stars would share the same fate as travolta. only the very few have consistent careers at the top

Pulp Fiction is my all time favourite movie. Face/Off is among my favourite action films, and I’ll never get tired of Grease. Travolta may have made a lot of missteps in his career but it’s hard for me to not be a fan of his

I love how charmingly inoffensive and cheerful criticism is being delivered on this channel. They know how to bash without hurting anyone.

Nicolas Cage definitely shares the highs and lows

He used to order from a restaurant my parents worked at in Daytona Beach and all my mom has to say is "he was short and had planes" 😂 idk why I find her response so funny. And all I can personally say is ... GREASE! He definitely lit up every scene he was in and could sing. Plus he was so cute. I had the script printed out when I was like 7/8 and made my friend 'perform' it with me BUT I had HAD to be Danny every single time 😂 I was always a little, um, different lol. Now my 1 year old LOVES the songs too and its great 😊 BTW I liked The Fanatic. Randomly found it when my bf and I first moved in together with only an antenna we'd go search dollar store for dvds and found that one night, expecting it to be so bad it was funny. We actually both enjoyed it. Not a GREAT movie but wasn't a bad one.

"The general daughter" from 1999 was an excellent underrated performance and movie

I will always be impressed with his role in Blow Out.

I had no idea he had a music career! I'm not sure if I want to look for his music on Spotify or not! I suspect not!

As long as he is happy with what he's done. He seems like a laid-back person who wants to have a fun career.

I think part of the reason is career hasn't really recovered from Battlefield Earth is because he no longer looks human and more like an alien disguised as a human with all that plastic surgery. He could have been enjoying a Paul Newman or Robert Redford like late career renaissance if he just allowed himself to age gracefully instead of going under the knife.

What If Disney didn't buy Pixar

I honestly really enjoyed Swordfish and still go back to it from time to time, surprised to see it was dogged by critics

You forgot 'The Boy In The Plastic Bubble' in 1976.

Really good comprehensive video. This is the first time watching one of your videos and it won't be the last. Subscribed.

His part in Pulp was still one of the all time greats though. That alone is enough for me.

And I actually loved the DePalma film Blow Up. I saw it in the theater and bought it on vhs and Blu Ray 😂

his DANCING!!!! i love it.

hey ,SHOUT is one of my favorite movies ever,he was extremely underrated in that role,he was great in that pure rock n roll movie!

I’m loving these videos.

Besides him being a scientologist I love him

Great actor, with the right role. He and Samuel Jackson deserved an Oscar for Pulp!

A brilliant and versatile actor. His performance in Pulp Fiction showed how talented he is. I enjoyed his acting in Battlefield Earth - people think his acting was mannered and unnatural, but he was playing an alien. They are not supposed to be like us. Plenty worse movies than BE have received less hostility. It the association with Scientology that annoys some people.

Great video!

I think Travolta’s a talented ass man. But I also think he’s a troubled man. And I feel for him loosing his wife and kid. I admire a man that can dance wish I could dance

Omg I forgot his look for From Paris With Love haha

Regardless, I will always love John Travolta, Vincent Vega is one of the best characters ever created, and yes thanks to Quentin Tarantino, but only John Travolta made him come to life.

Blow Out is an absolute masterpiece. One of the greatest thrillers I have ever ever seen and I think everyone should see it.

Holy, this guy was in alot of movies

you didnt mention Swordfish or the Punisher

Swordfish is awesome

I love and hate John but I love him more I grew up with him 😊

I’ve only ever seen travolta in pulp fiction and based on this video it’s clearly his best performance because you get some of the goofiness of earlier roles along with some more serious stuff

I hope he gets another comeback.. Seems like a good guy

He was great in Pulp Fiction, Broken Arrow and Face/ Off. That's all I need to know. 😊

gotti and the fanatic iconic cinema

I can’t ever stay mad at someone that was involved in Broken Arrow

For Goodfellas, I always thought John Travolta would be a better Tommy than Joe Pesci because his appearance almost matches the actual criminal.

Actors who's career had dipped before Tarentino hired them

I think rotten tomatoes don't like John Travolta movies much. Or maybe because public have known him as actor with good dancing ability instead dramatic acting.

I love Travolta, he is nuts!!. He is good but also nuts

After he got really famous (late 90s), I thought Travolta would OVER act. He delivered every line with such exaggerated and unnatural emphasis. It was annoying and contrived.

Urban Cowboy is such an underrated flick

Poor guy honest. I hate Scientology, but I don’t blame Tom or him for taking part. He’s taken a ton of heat with really wild rumors.

Jeez, the guy was all face. Eventually though his body caught up.

I like him as actor grew up seeing him in grease but he's had his ups and downs I love pulp fiction and I like face off as well

I'm not a fan of rotten tomatoes. Critics never seem to like the movies I like. I find imdb ratings a better match for my opinions.

“ A Civil Action “ was one of my personal favorites of his … love your channel BTW

Face off is one of the best film in my list .

I didn't know he had made so many movies. I did not see 60% of the films mentioned.

Based on the Capital One Holiday Night Fever ad, I’d say John Travolta needs to play Santa in a Christmas movie! Travolta Claus is something this world needs way way way more of!

Another actor who had an even wilder career (& a wilder personal life) is Oliver Reed! I really love reading stories about all the hellraising he got up to behind the scenes but that’s all he is known for these days and a big part of his legacy which is a shame as I do really believe he was one of the greatest actors of his generation who’s talents aren’t appreciated enough

This was incredible video had a good laugh too

I don't ever consider Battlefield Earth is a bad film, it's actually quite entertaining

It's the Cadillac of minivans.

quentin never worked with him again.

From Paris with love was actually surprisingly good. Also I didn’t know Kelly Preston died rip .

Dame, how do you own a private airport in your mansion? My poverty limited my imagination!

I just saw him in the WW2 short film “The Shepard”, on Disney Plus, and I loved it.

I think hes one of the greatest of all time. Charisma. Charm. Lovable. Funny. Great facials and range. Belieable. I follow my own opinions and not a bunch of critics. Trust me, do the same and i guarantee you'll find some of your fave films or stars are the ones critics hate.

John Travolta was one of my childhood favorites and one of my favorite human beings (from what I heard)

You should bring up Sean Young as your next subject. An ultimate has-been who has never recovered.

He just wants to dance

A few great movies, many mediocre, and bunch of bad ir worse... Pulp Fiction was directed by Tarantino who already a great director. Travolta had a great direction with that film that made it possible to do his best. But it seems like he is totally unable to decide whether he should or shouldn't join to a movie, and a movie should or should not be made.

People can say whatever they want about John Travolta but he's one of the best actors in film history, much better than many that are considered great but are a bunch of overrated actors. The same goes for Nicolas Cage.

I loved shout. As a kid it was one of my favourite films ever

ya, he is a positive person indeed to have ppl. so close and yet to keep as healthy and charming as he seems. Wow!

I think one day he’s gonna be on a list with Kevin Spacey. There’s something slimey about travolta and I don’t trust him

My problem with him, especially nowadays is that I just simply don't find him a believable actor. He's had so much work done on his face, he just doesn't look like a normal human being, which makes every role I see him in seem like a complete parody

Such hate towards the actor…

Blow out is a good movie

Keanu Reeves, all the emotional range of Kamala Harris.

He is always a big star & great actor who inspired huge amount of individuals around the world to choose acting as a career. Negative or positive roles. He rocked both.he is a rockstar & hero for his fans..

Seeing as I’ve never acted in much of anything, I don’t feel quite so qualified to judge. And I’m certainly not a travolta fan boy. But I’ve enjoyed most of his movies. That’s more than I can say about most other actors which is not nothing.

Phenomenon is a golden example where the critics can be full of it.

He is supposed to be a nice guy, I know a few who met him and all liked him so sad he's had so many flops. My favorite movie of his is definitely Grease, although Saturday Night Fever is a very close second.

@11:40 i gotta say Criminal Activities is a really solid sleeper flick. A good bit of plot twists and a bunc of unlikable and in over their heads characters go alone way for it. Also Jackie Earl Haley stars and directed it. Solid movie fr. Also A Valley Of Violence is also pretty good. Just a different kind of western movie; more of a revenge flick but him and ethan hawke kind of kill it in the few scenes they share

Bring another one like this about Mickey Rourke :-)

In a valley of violence was an amazing role for travolta

Blow Out is a brilliant film and he’s brilliant in it

This just made me like him for some reason

“Swordfish” was actually a pretty good movie to be fair. Basic had some really good potential but lacking where the type of person that watches this particular type of movie will notice (I mean service personnel & veterans- these types of movies, need to be absolute perfection in terms of accuracy with little things like uniforms, period correct patches. Weaponry (cos we all like our gear that’s the main reason we joined and I don’t care what anyone says it’s true😂) The amount of times I been watching a good military movie only to see a pint fly over my head in the direction of the tv because of something like a pistol shot taking off someone’s head at 50 meters or (laughable to be honest: “Marky marks” portrayal in “the shooter” which in terms of accuracy was right up there… until he appears on the street holding a rifle with literally every single attachment available (at the time) and I’m talking a “peq-16 llm” an eotech scope on top and a red dot laser mounted to the side. Oh then there’s that cringe moment when he flinches when firing the first shot. An expert sniper/veteran isn’t going to flinch like a little boy letting off his first real round. Now that I think about it “Kajaki” is the ONLY military movie I’ve seen which doesn’t have any innacuracy’s whatsoever. Like literal zero. The actors who financed the movie did so because one of their mates died and reckoned they could film it in a month… After going to the regimental barracks and meeting some of the serving soldiers they realised that they were in deep and if they messed up “they were deed” - i believe there’s a story of an encounter with the regimental sgt major when they were in aldershot. This led to them actually joining in on a “P company”with one of the actors actually going all the way and doing the reserves course. After that they hired all the extras from aldershot. So every single soldier that has 2 lines or less, is indeed a paratrooper. Couple of them play themselves. Ok how to tie this back to travolta… 🤔😅✌️

1:10 The guy on the left is dressed as Ed.

When every film channel uses the same title cliche now

Face-Off was the perfect movie for Travola. His legacy lends him perfectly to playing a face-swapped Nicolas Cage.

John Travolta is a puzzled to me. He´s biggest flops are worth studing for how bad they are.

John Travolta best acting was from Face/off where he plays Nicolas Cage (literally)... Very few people can play Nic Cage, Even Nic Cage forgets how to play Nicolas Cage sometimes. If you do not have a video dedicated to Nic, please, make one.

Pretty crazy to think Fred Durst directed The Fanatic

Fuck Xenu, Travolta better start worshiping Quentin Tarantino for reviving his career.

Travolta had a really good performance in The People vs OJ!

One of my favourite actors! He acts in some of my all time favourites! And I really loved how bad his new shitty movies are

I think worst best actor is nicolas cage

I would argue De Niro has had a similar career although he has a lot more highs. Last 20 years, he's taken a lot of paycheque roles, and some movies are really bad. With the odd hit like Killers of the Flower Moon.

i think a lot of the negativity towards him is unwarranted. i have never heard of him doing anything wrong just him not being able to live up to the impossible expectations of him after being in so many good films in the early and mid points of his career. i feel bad that he has a bad rep he's been through a lot and i hope he's happy at the very least
