Last Action Hero
Added 2022-04-15 02:44:31 +0000 UTCOn this Patreon-exclusive We Love Movies episode, the gang is chatting about the completely outrageous, totally fantastic, sidled with a shit-eating kid, action classic, Last Action Hero! Is Robert Prosky living in that projection booth? And Columbo-esque follow-up question, did he intend to take his own life on the night Danny goes through the screen? How great is Charles Dance as Mr. Benedict? Did we really need that Bogart hologram? And come on, how hilarious is it when Art Carney's getting beaten up? PLUS: Arnold and Danny DeVito star in a reboot of The Honeymooners!
Last Action Hero stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charles Dance, Robert Prosky, F. Murray Abraham, Frank McRae, Tom Noonan, Anthony Quinn, Mercedes Ruehl, Ian McKellan, Joan Plowright, and Austin O'Brien; directed by Jon McTiernan.

Just got the pleasure of sharing this with my girlfriend--we were just wowing by the end. One of my favorites, so happy to hear Arnold considers it his most underrated film. (Of course, he also considers it the beginning of the end of his career, so, ... :P We're about to check out the ep. Great times!

2025-06-30 00:39:35 +0000 UTCAfter listening to this episode I was in the mood for the movie. Luckily it was on prime video. I did notice a goof that wasn't on the imdb triva though. The bit where bentinck finds out about the ticket and puts his hand through the wall, just before he took the glass eye out but while he's looking at his hand through the wall you see the actors actual eye. Not a big goof but made me giggle.

2022-05-10 18:29:09 +0000 UTCTom Cruise! Tom Cruise is the last action star of the golden age of Hollywood. Not Vin 😅 I mean you could even argue for The Rock since he could also open a movie with his name alone.

2022-04-29 15:34:07 +0000 UTCIt's crazy you guys brought up the man who slashed all those people at moma. I used to work with him. He got fired for doing something really insane but not violent. I guess over time His behavior escalated. Prior to this incident he was let go from every job in our industry.

2022-04-17 19:11:31 +0000 UTCAs a kid who loved Arnold movies, the absolute last thing I wanted to see in one was a surrogate for myself

2022-04-16 19:50:38 +0000 UTCNo Way Home was trash. The old villains were lame as hell. Into the spider verse already did the same story.

2022-04-15 22:27:02 +0000 UTCAwesome episode. I laughed at the Robert Duvall movie Stalin reference. They should do that movie. And the Stiff Upper Lip riff. Oh man, they did that song on MTV during the TRL days, man that was odd. This movie is better than we remember it to be. And I agree that the kid is terrible. Everything else is interesting.

2022-04-15 19:03:59 +0000 UTCI've really never understood the negativity this film gets. Even as a 12 year old I knew what it was doing and I was happy to go along for the ride. Like Starship Troopers, is it a case that American film critics don't understand satire?

Deano Rezzz
2022-04-15 09:02:01 +0000 UTCGonna enjoy the hell out of this one. The kid annoyed the hell out of me when I saw it in high school. I just hated him trying to convince Arnie he's just in a movie the whole damn film.
