This week on We Hate Movies.
It's the film where Clint Eastwood gets both nipples licked.
It's the rookie.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Siddak.
Eric Siska.
Chris Cabinwood.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, if you're new to the program, this is a comedy show where we take a movie good, good, bad, or otherwise, and kick it around comedically for just a little bit.
And this is the second week
of what we are stupidly calling
Sheen Pro. And here we are
talking the rookie from 1990 directed
by Clint Eastwood himself.
Good afternoon.
And just a reminder, yeah, this is not
an endorsement of Charlie Sheen, but for whatever
reason, there's just a lot. Dude's got a lot
in his bag that we needed to get to.
And this is a good way to get through it.
Right. And also, this is not an endorsement of Clint Eastwood.
No, definitely not.
Also not. No.
But this is an endorsement of Raul Julia.
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
I love
I love that
a lot of people
were baffled by it
is sort of baffling
I love that he's German
I love this
little German
this jaunty little German accent
he's doing
it's delightful
I love it
but it's crazy
I feel
I feel like they're trying
to go for an angle
like the boys from Brazil
oh yeah
no no
this is a hundred percent
supposed to be a Nazi
clone monster
right
but I just love that
he's a Nazi clone monster
or whatever the fuck
but he's also just like
Kind of a really shitty car thief at the end of the day.
That's what's awesome is like,
here's this Clint Eastwood movie where,
like, he and Charlie Sheen are going up against a criminal
that's not like a successful serial killer
or some kind of criminal mastermind.
He's a dude that kind of sucks at running a chop shop operation.
I mean, the stakes have never been lower.
I mean, usually a movie, you got the homicide detective.
This is the Grand Theft Auto Detectives.
Right.
This is their story.
Well, that's, do you know?
you know that they don't have confidence in it because they sneak it in on like an eerie dream
sequence they're like the movie starts in a dream sequence where uh uh charlie sheen is seeing a board
of three member board for like and he's like i i want to do g rides i want to be part of
grand theft auto i've been here for two years and they're like and they're like oh yeah well that's
you know that's that's that's pretty cool but aren't you uh a murderer aren't you guys that didn't
you kill your little brother?
Oh, you have no siblings. That's a lie,
isn't it? Yes. Yes.
Well, it's actually not a lie because I don't have any siblings
anymore. Right, exactly.
You got me on a technicality there, lady.
I mean, that's what,
I mean, what makes it work so well is that, like,
for a minute there, you're like, oh, maybe
even the GTA thing was the dream.
Like, maybe we're going to see him actually do
like crimes and, like,
catch like a drug kingpin or something. But no, no, no, no.
It's for real. It just is really into car crime.
Chris, it's extremely similar, but instead of drug kingpin, it's car kingpin.
Yes, much, yeah, you're a car pin.
I kind of was a little annoyed at the beginning because I like the beginning of this movie where
it's Charlie Sheen getting the Blade Runner test to become a car detective.
Yes.
Which is the world in which I want to live.
And two, like the, I mean, we'll get into Tom's scared.
We get into Tom's spirit.
But the death of the brother and how he dies, the fact that's never paid off in any way, shape, or form is,
kind of insane. It's the action movie trope of
jumping between two buildings, which happens all
the time in action movies. How do you not
have that be like, you know, Charlie Sheen
has to do that at the end to save the day or something.
Right. Sure. Yeah, yeah, it's just weird to
have it and then just like have
flashbacks to it and then
just have it never be relevant to anything.
Well, that's the thing is I want, did Clint East would have a brother
who died this way? Because this is also
this is, I mean, like he also gets shot, but this is like
kind of how his partner dies and
in the line of fire.
Clint Eastwood did have a brother
that died sort of like this way,
but he pushed him off.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
Yeah, that is a big difference.
But hey, still it haunts him.
Bottom's up.
This brother, though,
specifically gets like the vertigo death.
Yes.
It's like, oh, please help me.
And like, little East or a little sheen
kind of, like, you don't see the wau,
but he like kind of freezes all scared and whatnot.
And this kid just falls to his fucking death.
Well, they're like the kids from killers of a killer of sheep.
Like, they're just roof hopping as for fun.
Like that's, is that really?
I didn't know that was a thing.
Well, he lived in Brazil, speaking of Brazil.
He lived in the city of God universe for a little while.
Oh, of course.
How silly of me.
Yeah, so this turns out to be a nightmare.
He wakes up in bed next to, I guess, his wife or girlfriend played by Lara Flynn Boyle as
Sarah.
and it's like, it's so funny because, like, Eastwood, man,
an unsubtle filmmaker, if there ever was one.
You know it's a dream sequence from the first shot of, like, the panel or whatever,
because they're all just in this insanely evil silhouette.
Oh, yeah.
And, like, the shadows and everything and, like, the light coming in from these windows.
And I'm like, all right, wake up.
Yeah.
Wake up, Charlie.
Yeah, at the start of this, I thought that Clint Eastwood was going to be like a Freddie Kruger type of creature.
Oh, I like that.
Ooh.
Yeah, he should have gotten into that rack.
could do the horror movies one two clint is coming for you three four hold the door will you
i'm coming i'll be right there five six light the cigars seven eight high-waisted pants
welcome to oscar country bitch well he gave uh barak obama nightmares that that speech at the
republican national convention for sure oh that was creepy as hell speaking of dabbling in the
supernatural. He was talking to a
g-gag-g-g-g-gost up there.
I do think that, like, yeah, I would love to see
Clint, because this is obviously like
just such a retread of everything he's ever
done. I mean, he makes
a fucking joke about Dirty Harry
at the end of the movie. Yes.
You know, we all know what's going on.
There's that bullshit piece of trivia on the
IMDB that's like, oh, this is the last
cop movie he did, except for when he played
an FBI agent, the Secret Service
agent, this cop, that cop.
It's not the same, okay?
It's different.
Sure.
Sure it is.
Hey, sure it is.
So we come upon this big car carrier here over the title card of the rookie.
I like that we just get right into it after Lara Flynn Boyle's like, you okay, babe?
And so this car carrier is going along.
We're jacking Porsches and all sorts of like fancy cars out of a parking garage.
We see across the street there's like some swank restaurant or like a Gala ha.
happening or something like that. So these dudes are taking advantage of stealing all these hot,
hot cars. It's a great scene of carvery, which is what I call stealing cars. And Eastwood,
of course, is introduced looking for a light for his cigar with his partner in a, as Steve said it,
a very McBain like nod, like him and his black partner are going after these car thieves,
one of which is Xander Berkeley. Yes, he said.
he comes back at the end as the pilot.
Yes. But a lot of stars
here. You've got... All the stars are here.
You've got Tony Plana from
that great movie we want. The live
wire. Yes. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's great.
He's a great spice whenever he shows up. He's got very distinctive
face. Oh, is that Loco?
Loco. Loco is great.
Marco Rodriguez, who, if you'll remember from
of that Seinfeld episode playing the Cubans.
Yes. Yes. I'm sorry, the Dominicans.
Actually, that guy's got a more distinctive face.
I'm going to do a little, I'm going to do face rankings on this one.
Marco Rodriguez also, yes, that Seinfeld playing the Dominicans, but also he's the
dude at the beginning of Cobra who's killing people at the grocery store or whatever.
Stallone's got to take care of that.
He's also in The Crow, it looks like. I mean, he's just had a huge career as a character actor
because he's got such an amazing face.
He's also, oh, that's right, he's the bartender
and once upon a time in Hollywood on
Lancer. Oh, nice.
Oh, wow. Oh, sure.
Right, right, right. Get your daughter
out here to play her, you know, heart out.
Chili pepper hard out. Well, you said it up.
I did. I'm going to die by the end of this episode, so it's fine.
There's worse things that
that lady could have been called in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Very true.
Let's, for the folks at home, Steve is a little under the weather
today. Well, we're going to see. There's
a clock over my head. If I finish the episode, I finish the
episode. If I don't, I don't. You know,
after so many episodes, so many
years, and we thought it would be fun to, like,
race the clock to see if he could make it.
It's a feat of strength we're
doing this week. It's an endurance trial,
really. That's what we wanted to make it for. But the good
thing is, I could do Eastwood really
easily. Nice. Yeah, maybe you should
just talk like that for the rest of the episode.
Oh, you should be sick all the time. That's great.
Direct movies if you got sick
all the time.
But yeah, it's one thing, yeah, I was, like, at first it's okay, but then it kind of gets irritating.
Like, I found this movie exceptionally dark, especially this first sequence, like really, really dark.
Hard to see what's going on with the car thievery here.
Yes.
And I mean, like, it's cool because it's moody and it's, like, beautiful film.
You know what I mean?
Like stark black that you could really, like, a rich black you could really sink your teeth into.
Right.
But it's also kind of difficult to see what's happening.
Yeah, you should actually just see this in the movie theater if you can.
Yeah.
It's got to be a night view, I feel, with these dark shots.
Yeah.
I was having trouble this afternoon, and I had like the shades drawn and everything.
So anyway, yes, the partner is here.
We see Sonia Braga, speaking to this crew, Sonia Braga, of course, as a Liesel, legendary
Brazilian actress, who I feel like we just saw in something recently, or perhaps it was
her, a relative of hers was in something we covered. Because I remember talking about Sonia Braga
recently for some reason and I don't. No, you think of Branen Braga. Star Trek. Oh, yes. That's, of
course what I. But she worked with, uh, Raul Julia Bunch. One movie, Moon Over Peridore. I feel like
is a stay tuned in half. Boy, that is quite the movie. Yeah. Kiss of the Spider woman. She's
also in. Pretty good. Um, that's going to kill me now. Which, which one of Madam Webb's, uh,
under underlings is that which one is the spider woman she's part of the spider tribe in the jungle
okay or the vainy spider tribe chris fuck you for reminding me about the spider tribe
oh you know what i think i found it guys yes here it is uh she has a niece who's an actress
alice braga who um was in a ton of stuff but what were we talking about her for um
I mean, she was in shit, like, Predators, I Am Legend, Elysium, like,
Oh, she's, okay.
Yeah, she's been in a shit ton of movies.
We did something recently we talked about.
Oh, maybe it was Bad Boys for Life?
Uh, yeah, that could have been.
Definitely could have been.
Uh, I, you know, I don't remember.
I'm speaking to City of God, by the way.
She's also in that.
There you go.
See, this is an at-home game for you, folks.
What were we talking about with her niece in it?
Yeah.
She wasn't in Rebel Moon, was she?
Hmm.
I don't think so.
This show has now turned into.
having a nice glass of ice tea with your
elderly grandfather. What were we
talking about the other day? Oh, let me
just get my teeth back in
before we begin the conversations.
Now, about
1990s the rookie.
Oh, of course. Here it is.
Of course, you guys. How can we
fucking forget?
Grandpa founded it in his old chest.
She's Diana Cruz
and hypnotic, of course.
Oh, of course. Oh, my gosh.
She's Afflex's wife in that movie.
Yeah, yeah, right, right.
Previous episode.
Definitely a movie I would remember.
I do like, so yeah, they're all on that, like,
the thing that makes everybody nervous on the highway,
the car carrier, you know?
And it's kind of cool.
Like, we're all, like, loading up, I think Tony Plano's the last one to get on.
I do like that Rall Julia, the head of this operation,
likes getting his hands dirty.
He likes being out in the field, like, because that's how we're interested.
introduced to him as Strom
like someone is like
oh boss I'm you know surprised you wanted to come out
here he's like and what
miss out on all the fun
I was like God I miss you so much
it's perfect because it lets you know that this guy
is incredibly stupid
I'm gonna put I'm the head of the organization
I'm going to put my fucking life on the line
for this penny Annie bullshit
like in his defense
you know sometimes you got to like
get back into the field for one job
just to show your men that yeah
you can do it to and to like
just be a little limber, you know, get back
to work a little bit. And then you end
up killing a cop and
starting a blood feud
that eventually gets
you kill in the fucking airport of all
the point. Listen, if you're a German
crime car lord or whatever this guy
is, you got to get a blood feud
going at least once. Sure. I guess
that is true. That you do have to do that at least
once. This is great. Yes,
Sonia Braga, the sexy lady. She
pulls up in this fancy car to
distract Clint and his
partner and the dialogue exchange
there is incredible
it's like a feast
for your eyes and then Clint's talking about her
like she's a car like classic
look they don't build them like that
anymore I was talking about the babe
so was I
what do you think you could fit in the trunk
oh man could you stop talking like that I'm gonna
fuck you like a car
now open your wheels and take it
That's it. I'm driving us off the bridge right now.
I'm pumping gas into you.
Which is what I call urine.
It looks more like gas than the other stuff.
Time for some premium.
Which is a mixture of the two.
Eastwood right here, when he like gets the drop on these dudes, I love it.
Little early for Christmas shopping ain't it?
And it's like, who the fuck are you?
Santa Claus.
Just start shooting the fucking windshield of this car.
And again, like, I don't know, man, do we really need to open our open fire during a fucking armed
during a car robbery?
I'm not sure.
I don't think he would, yeah, I mean, in real life, I don't think he'd be a cop for long.
And the paperwork about every bullet shot and stuff.
My God.
Well, when we get to the captain, he does kind of suggest that like this is happening all
the time.
Yes.
Once again, it's Clint Eastwood as a cop.
So he is costing everyone millions of dollars in fucking like building fuckups and road
fuck ups. Lawsuit, fuck
up. Everything you can fucking name.
But he's just like, you know what?
But he gets his partners killed
and we just got to keep that energy on the
streets. Dude, the fucking revolving
door of partners. Also like dirty
Harry, by the way. I feel like
this, I mean, because the final dirty
Harry movie was a few years before
this. And I feel like somewhere
this was a script
where it's, he's Harry Callahan
and Charlie Sheen's
David Ackerman is like
it was some sort of handoff role
I know what I mean
and I'm glad that they did because at the very least
that allows Raoul Julia to call
him a Polack this entire movie
which is fucking funny
you and your Polack friends
oh you arrogant crowd
that's what I love it's like
it's all you don't know what
national you shouldn't know what nationality people
are but you do because of the slurs
that are going back and forth right exactly
because otherwise I wouldn't know
Any of them.
No, of course not.
Who cares?
Apparently this wounded up being Eastwood was, there's something about the trivia,
about the, like, 88 SAG strike.
Originally, this was going to be, oh, God, what?
Oh, was Gene Hackman and Matthew Bodine.
Yes, and then at one point, Sean Connery, too.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
So, yeah, I'm the Tetchella rookie.
My dad is so rich.
I don't know how I'm going to get through this whole thing with the serge.
My brother.
fell and he died
he died like a little baby falling off
the rough that's your Polish
hero uh huh yeah I do like the idea of
Raul Julia going like you think
your country made sausages I come
from the kingdom of sausages
oh man the kingdom of sausages let me through those
fucking gates please uh
so this is a great
moment here the partner's like nobody's
here Nick he's checking like the cab of this
truck, Raul Julia closes the door behind him, surprise, and just shoots the fucking shit
out of this dude. By the way, just to piggyback off of Chris's sausage thing, at the end of the
movie, he should have said, Kelp, Hasta Calbasa.
There you go. Fuck, I'm butchering it. You know what I mean, though. Yes, I do. I do what you
do it. Hosta La Vista baby, right? Hasta Kilbasa baby. Hasta kilbasa baby. That's on a boardwalk
t-shirt absolutely. Yes, that was worth pulling over
the show for it. Weird thing
here when Eastwood is like bent over this
dude and he's dead. He just
starts going, oh no, man.
Oh, oh no, man. And I was like,
Clint Eastwood doesn't say man.
Even in death he has to talk, jive
to his black partner, I guess is the idea.
So you can hear him in the pearly gates.
I guess what? That's the end of the morning.
That's it. Bye, bye.
Well, because even later on when like Charlie, she's like,
Why do you want to get this guy so bad?
It's also like, I just never got.
I never made it big as basically this thing.
Yeah, I never had a big case.
Not my, not my beloved Powell partner.
It was murdered by this guy.
I mean, this time it's not personal at all.
No, he just care.
This time it's about my career.
I was waiting for him to start picking this guy's pockets.
I was waiting for him to like see what he's got in there.
If he got a couple dollars for the bus home.
Oh, yeah, beers on.
him won't be needing this anymore.
Fuck, God damn it. This means my insurance
is going to go up again. Motherfucker.
So right here we have
first big action set piece. This chase
down the highway where the fucking car carriers
ramp is still down so it's sparking everywhere.
These dudes, much like a Michael Bay movie, are just throwing
cars at this guy. Which is fucking great. You've seen all these
high-end Porsches and stuff
falling off the back of his. I kind of want to watch
like Raoul Julia during this scene where he's
just like, because he does give the okay to
start it. But I feel like, I didn't
say all of them. You know what I mean?
That's sweet. That's 40,000.
That's 140,000. That's 200,000.
Oh, God damn it. We still need to break even, you know.
It is kind of funny because
like at the end of this, it is all for nothing.
Yes. I'd like to get more heat on you. Again,
Raul Julia in this movie, horrendous
fucking car thieves. Moron.
More on.
Awful.
But we should mention
Clint East
were driving
into the
car to stop
this from happening
and what do they do
that is ditch
the entire tractor
trailer back end
and it flips
and explodes
but like
it's a huge wreck
on the highway.
It's a massive crash.
Maybe six to ten dead
I mean civilians
people minding their own business.
Does you see other cars
flip it everywhere else?
This car chase
is a cross between
Final Destination 2 in the Blues Brothers.
I mean, people are getting wiped out
left and right. That is a, now that's
a combination that has to happen.
Where's that legacy sequel? Again,
making sure you're part of this
Raul Julia, just brilliant.
Yes, exactly. Amazing business.
You want your fingerprints on that, that's
cheering. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If there's like
cameras around and someone gets your face on camera,
that's such a good thing to happen
to you. Well, it doesn't matter if they get his
fingerprints unless they've already
rated Dr. Mangala's lab. And if
So, it's already too late.
And his partner, Dr. Strom, who had a son.
There's the most loony tunes I've ever seen Clint Eastwood is at the end of this.
I mean, it is, I don't know that Eastwood's ever done like an outright comedy, like, at least that I've seen.
No, he never would let, yeah, it's, but this is.
Oh, my God, now I want to see him in like the 70-year-old virgin.
I never got laid
I'll keep it that way
Life's over sorry
Wax my chest
It was just hand stuff for a long time
You know when you're touching a lady
And it's like a bag of sand
I was
I was scared of using my mouth for so long
That I never thought it could help a lady
Uh huh now he could just straight gum
Yeah
Oh God that is just disgusting
Anyway, the fuck I was saying
He hasn't done a lot of comedy
Right, it is not
But this is the most comedic moment
Of his entire career
Dude's almost 100 years old
He fucking puts a cigar in his mouth
He's got like
Soot all over his face
With his explosion and whatever
He says to the dude
The cop comes up
He goes, got a light
And fucking falls over like deafy duck
It's pretty good
It's very
Because this movie is sort of
I mean like
It's all of those buddy cop things
it's a comedy it's an extreme drama
Tom Scarrett is a millionaire
I don't know why but he is
you know like everything we're throwing everything at the
wall and seeing it with sticks yeah you thought
I thought it would like tie in together
in some way like Scarrett maybe was
in on with sure I thought that too
for a while I mean
I mean it is just to kind of help the thing
come together at the end like he
he's a Hail Mary at the very
end of the movie
day's ex daddy yeah essentially yes
and like it is funny to think like
I agree with you, Andrew.
Like, I kind of think it would be funny to make this a dirty hair,
explicitly a dirty hairy movie because it is effectively one.
Yeah, sure.
But because, like, the journey of the movie is really Charlie Sheen going from a clean-cut cop
to the most corrupt and murder-hungry cop that has ever existed on Earth.
Well, there's something also kind of unexplained, and I wonder if, one, this was maybe like
rewrite city or two, I mean, you can tell with Xander Berkeley,
there's shit cut out of this movie
because he's at the beginning and just at the very end.
But yeah, oh, fuck, I lost my train of thought.
What was I going with this?
Eastwood, Dirty Harry.
Oh, man.
I totally lost it.
Fuck.
Sorry.
Anyway.
So Nick goes to the precinct the next day.
They're giving everybody the old like, sorry about Powell.
You know, sorry your partner's dead.
Which, by the way, we're only doing to,
pay off a joke at the end of the movie?
Yeah. No, thank you.
Yeah, don't be fooled by it right now.
But anyway, yes.
Surprise, surprise. He's being taken off the Strom case.
It's being given to homicide.
What with all the people that were killed on that car chase?
I have to imagine.
Exactly. You know what, dude, you are not only way too personal on this,
you are escalating it for no reason.
You're the problem, honestly.
Well, the deal is off.
I mean, you can't deal with the cars if they all explore.
exploded. At this point, like Charlie Sheen is in the office there where we're learning this
is being taken off. And he's like, hey kid, private conversation.
Shows it in the hallway. I love the lieutenant's like, oh, you know, Clint Eastwood, here's,
here's your new partner, David Ackerman. Or he says, this is David Ackerman. And he's Wood goes,
pleasure meeting you and slams the door in his face.
but it is the you know it's again just like dirty harry being assigned a new partner he's an
asshole but you'll get used to him we all we all have to and he's like it's kind of weird like
they say it speaking to your like rewrites angle and stuff being cut out later in the movie
like I think you know when they're jiving at jiving at each other eastward is like oh all you
do is quote regulations this and that I'm like he never does that like I've never seen this
character like that's that would be a character trait that he would have like if he just went behind
the years and like oh we're not allowed to do that it's 1045 he doesn't do that ever like so i don't
know i don't know what version of the script he's talking about but it's not in the movie it's not there
at all he's just not like he's not very excited to kill people no exactly that's the problem
he says that he follows all the rules simply because this dude doesn't want to be a terrible
cop like clean eastwood's character and steve you did remind me the point i was going to make about
the rewrites. There also must be something, I would hope so, something that's deleted about
this David Ackerman character, piece of information, where it was like, oh yeah, and he was fucking
special forces for a while after, you know, he graduated, he went into the army, became special
forces, or whatever it is. Because like, when he also decides to like turn and, you know,
be the badass cop and go off with Clint Eastwood to save Clint Eastwood, he's got this whole thing
about like, I'm done hiding or like, whatever he says.
And then all of a sudden, he, like, he totally levels up.
And he's got all these amazing fighting skills.
And he's fucking kicking ass like he's Liam Neeson.
And I was like, where did any of this come from?
What is this training?
Like, it's like, oh, he's mad.
So now he can do it.
Like, no, that's not how that should work.
Yeah, no, very, very weird later in this movie where he just turns on some sort of latent,
like, as if he picked up a phone and some voice on the other end was like,
There are three flowers in a blue vase.
And it was like, active.
and he's just this unstoppable Jason Bournes killing machine or whatever.
He was sent to the island where they sent all like third sons of rich men who like
and they're trained to be assassins and like, yeah, you just do that for like a couple
years and then you come home and then you live in the woods for about a decade.
Oh, I love this.
They should do a prequel to like, you know, flesh it out a little.
I'd love it.
Boy, Hannah's.
It's called Ackerman, but it's an acronym for something.
Oh, wow.
really long.
Yeah.
You got to think about that action, control, kill,
elongate?
Yeah.
He could be fucking,
what's that,
Stretch Armstrong.
Yeah,
he gets stretched Armstrong stuff
if he's pushed to the edge.
Well,
yeah,
when he turns into Mr.
Beast at the end of this,
I'm sure that's like,
he could just get those powers
if he wanted to.
Mr. Beast,
but he does a bunch of annoying YouTube videos.
Well,
he does give away $2 million for no fucking
well this is the thing is like they're trying to figure out what charlie sheen is and like
the one that makes the most sense which again doesn't actually fit is he's a little rich boy and it's like
and it's kind of interesting that they go to this hoity to 20 country club to you know obviously
strom is an upstanding member of the community and like he's going to give it to him like any other
action movie but like charlie she is like well known there's like oh what's that backstory you know
it's sort of something i guess you know the the the brother died jumping between
buildings because they were so rich they had multiple buildings.
I mean, the most character you get from him is that, like, yeah, like he's been waiting
to, uh, to not care about this brother thing.
Yes.
Like it's kind of, it's the like the weakest part of is when you get to like, it's like, actually
you were able to forget about your brother dying the whole time.
Little, little Peter Pan.
Yes.
And now you can fly.
Yeah.
Uh, so we are giving it to wrong.
Julie at this country club, you know, harassing him.
He's like, oh, yeah, you're drinking this shitty German beer.
Leave such a fucking gross aftertaste in my mouth.
You fucking crowd piece of shit.
What's great about that is he walks right up to their table.
And while the waiter is serving it to one of them, he takes it and takes a giant sip
and puts it back on the tray.
What an a hole.
Stroes for me.
And if they don't have it because it's too hoity to-oity, go to the shitty.
Go to the shittiest gas station you can find.
There'll be a nine pack.
Yeah, it's in nine packs.
And I swear to God, if that stroze is too cold, we're going to have trouble.
I want a room temperature stroze beer, you understand?
Okay, in that case, if you can't get that, I want half Evan Williams and half of that
Stella artsy stuff.
Oh.
And, ew.
and bring out some brittle peanuts for me to munch up
don't open the shells I like doing that
I do like the way Eastwood gets all presumptuous here
he says to David he's like
because David's like oh hey George how you doing
good to see again or whatever and the guy's like
oh Mr. Ackerman you haven't been in here in a while
and he's like what did you used to work here or something
it's like no dude come on
but you wouldn't
the idea and I mean because it happens here
it happens in bad boys
this idea of the rich cop is insane.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
It's never happened in the history of anything.
If you want to do that,
then you're looking legally to kill someone.
It's very dangerous.
Like, becoming cop makes sense.
You want benefits.
It's yada, yada, yada.
It would be for me.
It's the murder thing.
I think you're right.
Exactly.
If anyone's a millionaire cop out there,
right into the mailbag,
I would love to hear about this.
I mean, if you're a millionaire cop,
you're on the take.
But I will say this.
It does fit the character, though, right?
because what was he unable to do
in that traumatic moment, save his brothers?
What does he want to do?
He wants to save people.
It does make sense.
And like the family doesn't want him to do it.
And I will say also just to, you know,
further this character from Mike Lowry.
Charlie Sheen and Lara Flynn Boyle
live in some fucking shit dump house.
They don't live in the South Beach amazing mansion.
No, they don't have a mansion.
I mean, I guess he just refuses the family of mine.
basically. Right, exactly. So that's, I think there's a little bit of a distinction here between
the traditional rich cop like Mike Lowry and this dude who clearly doesn't want anything to do
with his family. I still was waiting for Clint Eastwood to go, oh, little rich boy. I was, I really,
but I agree with you because there is this one shot, like very early on in the movie. There's
a shot of Charlie Sheen in his tidy whitties. Yes, yes. And, but they're not white. They're
like grungy as shit.
He's been wearing these things for a fucking
couple days. Farting,
ripping ass into those. Just
rubbing it in dirt. Dirt ass. He's got a dirt
ass. I mean, we're left
to assume that Lara Flynn Boyle and Charlie She and
are together at the end of this movie. They really
shouldn't be. He treats her like shit this
entire movie and she's a 1990
Lara Flynn boy. Get out of it. Because
he's like, when he wakes up after
his nightmare about the brother, she's like, what's going
on? He's like, I can never
tell you for some reason. It's like, oh, fucking
awesome. You know what? This rules.
Well, I think part of it is, do you
want to be with like better guys than me? I'm
such a shithead loser.
Fucking, oh, man. It's like, oh, okay.
God. Yeah. Well, that's this. So this
I want to ask you about this scene. Because this scene
is, it's right after
the stupid fucking country club scene or whatever.
They
do for a quick second drop off at the first
chop shop. And basically
it's like Strom's headquarters. We
see watching he's watching eastwood on the security cameras whatever eastwood tells this dude
on strums crew to call him yes if any suspicious cars show up so ral julia's tipped off that this
guy's talking to cops but anyway so we're in bed well that guy i mean just quickly that that's that's max
that's the blonde guy yes he has uh he's in informant because eastwood has uh had his run him in before
he and he just got out and he had just finally gotten work and like so
Eastwood is like
because there is another rap
but it's not this guy
it's the
Tony Plano
Yeah
A little
A little Felix
He also this Max actor
By the way
Real quick
This David
Cheryl was also in the race
With Charlie Sheen
And
He's in a couple
Charlie Sheen movies
Oh really
He might have been
His dealer
Something's five aces
Um
I'm trying to find
A Major League two
He was in
Major League two
We said the arrival.
He's in a couple.
Eddie's also, by the way,
previous Patreon offering,
he's in 902 and O as that
Cratchity Desert Storm vet.
Oh, really?
Oh, on the beach.
Oh, wow.
That's awesome.
Good for him.
That was his best role.
Yes.
Excellent.
Yeah, so here we go.
It has appeared alongside friend
Charlie Sheen in five films today.
He was also apparently
previously roommates and good friends
with Jason Preyce.
Oh, he also was.
like cocaine
anyway
no so back to
this them in bed
right and the scene
where she's like
where did you go
you know
he's like I'm right here
no you've been gone
for a while
whatever
this scene starts
with the two of them
not saying anything
and the way
that this was positioned
is she trying to
like jerk him off
like get him
like fired up
to do something
it seems like
something hasn't gone right
yeah
I've been sitting here
fucking cranking
this thing for 10
minutes
and you're not hard yet
is something on you
your mind maybe? Well, I guess my, my dead brother doesn't really turn me on and that's all I can think
about. Well, he has this stupid line of prescience or something where he's like, I think something's
going to happen, Sarah. And I'm like, yeah, the fucking movie, man. You know what I'd love is for something
to actually happen. Well, anything? Is anything happening? Is anything? Hello? Anybody out there?
The inheritance, guys.
This guy, he's clearly got a death wish.
The brother's already taken care of.
Tom Scarrett's going to die eventually.
And this, by the way, this two mill later in the movie,
he's not sweating it.
It's like, it's like if you asked me for like $300.
Like I'd be annoyed and aren't sure.
I'd kind of want, maybe want that back,
but I'm really kind of not sweat.
It's like, three hundred bucks.
Right.
Well, good to know.
The next time I'll borrow $300 from you.
No, you're not going to sweat it.
Never give him back.
No.
Well, he says he's not going to sweat it.
Steve, it was for my life.
I was kidnapped or something.
Yes, something.
I mean, I love that, though, the idea of, like,
I've done everything for you, David.
I've said jump, Joey, jump while jerking you off.
I've done it all, and you can't do it.
I brought those dump plastic toy guns into the bedroom
when it bang, bang, or whatever.
That's hot.
I guess it's just because it gives you one more scene with them together.
Yes.
Like, and like, so you get that there are a couple and that they like each other and care about each other a little bit, I suppose.
I mean, you got a good point about the gun, the toy guns.
I bet some people are having Nerf sex out there.
Oh, absolutely.
Right?
The whole Nerf gun thing.
Couple, couple of Nerf herders, you think?
Yes.
So it's like you're doing the shit like, like Janus Soprano like, but just with Nerf guns.
Exactly.
I like that.
It's safety, you know.
Yeah, that's true.
Safe sex.
Yeah, you're right.
she wound up murdering her husband
Spoiler alert for a 25 year old television show
Okay
So they go to when I tell you
One of the grungiest biker bars
You've ever seen in your life
And this is where Clint Eastwood
God love him
This dude just has blinders as a filmmaker
And this bar is one of those blinders
Examples of these blinders right
They walk into the Scuzbo Biker Bar
Right clearly like
You know
Latin bar
they don't specifically say
like Latin kings or anything like that
but like it's a Latin
fucking clientele is called
Casa Blanca. Yeah. They walk
into this bar and instead of music that you would
hear at a biker bar of some kind it is this
soft light Latin jazz
and you're like absolutely not
idiot no way
ooh Santana's next
I know this guy
likes his jazz music
composing it and, you know, making his scores that he writes very jazzy.
This music is not playing at this roadhouse. I'm sorry.
I've met a lot of these fellas. I know all kinds.
They really dig the David Brubeck, okay?
There's dog fighting, not fucking 10 feet away.
Dude, that's the thing. There's two dogs biting at each other's throat.
The soundtrack is going,
but do-d-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Perfect bar, right? You got the pool table.
Yeah.
Nice bar for drinks, dog fighting right next to the pool, basically.
I guarantee you, like, two nights a week, you can get the best fucking torta there.
Like, it's just like, holy shit, is this amazing?
It's like, you know what?
It's a fantastic sandwich.
I'm willing to overlook the dog fighting.
And the dog meat inside of it.
Look, you're definitely going to get tetanus on some part of your body from being here.
But it's worth it.
The stewed chicken is amazing.
Torto con perro, dude.
That's fucking horrible.
So this is, we meet
character actor Robert Ben Victor.
He is playing Little Felix.
You couldn't keep mad at this movie.
It's like, yeah, I don't care if I'm supposed to be
Puerto Rican. Don't care. Mexican, whatever.
I know, I'm a white guy. Fine.
And so this is, you know, he is the informant.
Little Felix is the informant.
Eastwood threatens this dude with a great,
you're going to be in so much shit.
You won't be able to see over it.
That's right.
covered in feces and I'm ready for that.
I've been eating raisin brand and prunes all day.
Oh, that's awesome.
Oh, man, having an old man shit on you,
I think that might be a fate worse than death.
It's like the shit's also musky and dusty side.
Yeah, that's like some fucking Guantanamo shit.
Exactly.
Oh, my God.
You guys ever go into a stall after an old timer took a doozy?
Oh, my God.
No, I didn't because of that very reason.
Oh, I've done it.
Oh, my Lord.
We will be revisiting this conversation.
when we do
the judge
soon enough
everything
looks
to give it
everything looks
exactly like
fucking
oh man
Senator Kelly
from the first
X-Men movie
it's just like
oh yeah
yeah
that's the guy
sliding through
fucking steel bars
Bruce Davison
yes thank you
hurt my head
oh like
that's what it's like
shitting
when you get older
kids
get ready
you're gonna be
you're gonna be that
soon and then you'll be dead. That's
that's our living situation
on the stupid planet. You will be coming a
water sack one day. Oh yeah.
So yeah,
Polofsky gives little Felix
some little drug baggies here.
Which I believed what I saw it. I was like, oh wow. Yep, of course.
I was like, yeah, you just took some fucking evidence room drugs. You have no
problem with that. It is a lot of cocaine if that is the case, but it's not.
No. So, but then meanwhile, back out in the bar,
this dude loco, I believe, is the
guy.
Yes, it is.
Loco Martinez,
played by Marco Rodriguez.
Yes, that's right.
You've got to be the first one in the gang.
We're in this history of Latin gangs to get the name loco.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's literally like, that guy's fucking crazy.
I wish to call him loco.
Yeah, you'll be there.
You're loco.
Yeah, okay.
You're the one.
To be a loco with the C.
Because you know there's other guys doing the K and you're like, that's fake shit.
Exactly.
There's little loco, fat loco, tall loco.
And you know this guy's trying to get it.
that don't to get named Coco the
monkey or whatever. There's that dude
that lost his thumb in a gambling
thing, so they call him four loco.
Love that. You're not
loco, no, you're ginger ale.
Yeah, ginger ale.
That's kind of a nice refreshing nickname.
Un poquito loco, just a little bit.
But so, yeah, Loco lifts
David's wallet right here, and
they start a fight. He's getting
his ass handed to him, Charlie Sheena's
by all these dudes until Pavolski
he comes in firing a gun
of this bar. You got to do it
to break up this fight. Amazing. Loco
does take his badge and
wallet and that'll come into
play later in the film.
I used to it getting him out of this bar.
Weirdest line of the movie, he's just like,
geez, kid, didn't know you were into group
sex. You see?
Because they were all fucking you in the ass.
You're getting your ass kick.
Here, let me wipe the cum off you.
Let me get you out of your.
Yeah, some days he wipes off the blood.
some Daisy Wives out of the Com.
That's like that.
For the LAPD.
Quick question. Do you have to pay to get into a dog fight,
do you think? Probably.
Always like, is there a cover charge?
Yeah, exactly. Because I mean, obviously you're gambling on the dog fight.
That's what you...
That's what you...
Are you looking to go? Is that what this is?
I'm just curious.
These days, I bet you it is. But back in the day,
you probably could just walk it. If it's a bathroom deal like this,
you can just walk back there.
Well, you know how like, you know,
if it's your first time at Fight Club,
you have to fight. Sure.
I feel like if it's, if you were at all,
doesn't matter what time. First time, second time,
20th time, you're at the dog fight. You have to bet.
Like, it's not a spectator situation. You have to be gambling.
Because everyone would be like, well, you're a cop, obviously.
Yeah, exactly. Yep. And listen, you see the dogs. People walk dogs down the street.
They want to fight each other, okay?
It's not that bad. I mean, this is a joke. This is a joke.
This is a joke, but one of my neighbors as a dog and the other neighbor has a dog. And the other neighbor
has a dog and they want to murder each other
and they just scream at each other
through my yard. It's wonderful. And you're like
let them let them let them fight.
I guess I kind of want to host a dog fight
in my backyard. I had a
I had a dude in my neighborhood like at the
park at like looked at my dog
and was like
basically asked me like if I put her
in fights like he was like you know man
you man that's a nice dog
you roll that dog and I was like
the fuck does that mean?
You'll mean you throw her out on the highway. What the
I said, I said, what do you mean roll?
What do you mean roll my dog?
He goes, you know, man, get her in the fucking fight.
Wow.
And I just went, no, man, I don't fucking roll my dog.
It walked away.
And this dude, this dude had the audacity to get fucking offended.
What?
That I got offended at his fucking question.
You just got disinvited from a great evening after.
I can't imagine asking you.
And just get wearing like, I don't even know, like a Bob Weir t-shirt.
Like, yo, man, you dog.
fight. No, I don't think so. A, I'm high right now and B, no. Do you roll your dog? Do you give your dog, Molly? Do you do that? No, man, some CBD treats from time to time. Why do you ask? By rule, do you mean put her in a thunder shirt? Then yes. Was his dog like a bruiser? That's the thing, dude. This dude didn't even have a dog with him. Oh, she's including. He was hanging out at the
Dog Park recruiting.
This is a businessman. A businessman.
If I ever wanted a, if, you know,
there ever was a time in the universe for a Sasquatch monster
to run out of the woods and rip a dude's cock off,
it was right after that guy had the audacity to ask me.
I would love, uh, he's going up to,
well, going up to Martin Crane.
There you roll that dog? Oh, you mean Eddie?
The, in the Jack Russell Terrier.
I would like to see that dog fight.
Oh, Niles. How are we in a dog fight right now?
It's the worst idea you ever had.
Actually, this pinocalade is pretty refreshing.
So, whatever.
That dude Little Felix makes a big stink because, uh-oh,
Eastwood gave him talcum powder, which like, okay,
that's, like, nothing comes from that.
There's no consequence for that.
It's literally just to say, don't worry, audience.
Clint Eastwood's cop character didn't steal fucking heroin
out of an evidence locker and give it to this guy.
Eastwood should go back and grab some to like dust up his privates and ass crack, you know?
He's, he's not as cool as you once thought, folks.
He doesn't actually have drugs with him.
That's, that was a myth.
He was, although I got to imagine snorting Tolkien powder is probably not great.
Yeah, probably fucks your night up.
Yeah, that might make your night pretty awful.
Around here is where he is torturing the dude, uh, who gets in his BMW and then Eastwood slams the
bagged it down on it at the junkyard.
Hi, Beamer.
This is Morales, I believe.
Yeah, this is Tony Plano from Livewire.
He, because he goes to Little Felix
because he wants his information
because Little Phelix doesn't have the good
information and somebody else must kind of thing.
Yes.
And so it's basically he's saying to Tony Plano here,
he's like, all right, dude, here's the deal.
You are going to become an informant for me.
That's the deal that we're making.
This dude's like, no, I don't.
work with pigs, blah, blah, blah.
And he just starts waving this car around, stuck to the magnet, like bashing it into
other cars and like dropping it and picking it back up.
Classic torturing Easter.
Yes, he finally agrees.
And Charlie Sheen is being chased by junkyard dogs and he has to shoot his gun to
like get them to heal.
Dude, just Jurassic Park joke of Charlie Sheen outruns the one dog.
Yeah, I know.
He gets in the car and close the door.
And then there's a dog in the back scene of this car.
And the Rottweiler you didn't even see.
Was right behind you.
Exactly.
It's ridiculous.
This dog's just like, how's it going?
And it's a bit of junkyard mud.
And it's a weird bit of screenwriting here because, like, in this scene,
buttoned up Akerman doesn't murder a dog.
But boy, oh boy, does he do it later.
Later.
Oh, it certainly does.
Certainly does.
Does the dog die?
You bet your ass.
I'm not going to.
put anything to the fact
that like just a little bit
ago you in
that bar you shot a gun to get all those
people under control and then you shot
this gun to get dogs under control
not going to
not going to read into that too much
so yeah he's busting his balls here
too he's like good kid
now read them their rights
aren't you a shitty cop
and I'm a great one
take them in take their
paw prints
Oh, actually, you know, we're totally wrong, by the way,
and people probably have been screaming on us on the internet all night.
No.
What?
Clint is doing who has been in comedies, every which way a bit loose and any which way you can.
Those are both clearly comedies.
Those are comedians.
And he's a comedian in those movies.
Brawlers, yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
But it's still not the kind of comedy I'm talking about.
Well, he's with a monkey, so.
Sure, but like he's still.
It's his persona still.
It's still the persona.
That's what I'm saying.
That moment where he does like a.
and falls forward like
that's fair that's the persona
breaking all of both of them monkey
movies he's still just Clint Eastwood
sure he's literally a bare knuckle
boxer like yes
it's stupid and I guess
kind of funny but like
also he's trying to like get that monkey to have
sex yeah at one time
another monkey and then at another time
I think a lady that's nothing funny
about that you couldn't call that thing
anything but a comedy I don't know
what else you would call it a second here's a
another one, Grand Torino.
Oh, okay. Of course.
Laugh Riot. Well, dude, if you watch it
with a couple of guys I watched that movie with
they thought it was a laugh fucking riot.
The laughs got harder
and louder with every slur that
passed by. The mule's actually kind of
funny. He's got that
threesome. Yeah.
One of these days, maybe I'll get around
to it. You should, honestly. Please
do it. And then watch cry, macho.
I still have a team cry macho.
I kind of like it.
It's, yeah.
It's hard for me to not like Eastwood as now I am an old man.
I understand.
So they go to Nick's house right here.
Which, I mean, by the way, to your point, Andrew,
Charlie She doesn't have a great place.
And I mean, like, especially if you're, like,
if you're a little rich boy in hiding,
I wouldn't go into anyone's house.
Man, what a fucking dump.
And I'm like, what this man's house a dump.
Yeah.
That's where he lives.
Posters of cars.
and stuff. I mean, look, I mean, hold
on when you go back to Larifflemore. Like, dude, that guy's
house is a fucking dump. Like that, then
you could do that. But not to his face.
I mean, but it's not even that
bad. No, of course not. I mean,
what you probably are not, again.
Bumbollah style. Love that. It's, here's the issue
of course, is that we do not have smell
of vision. That place smells like
garbage. Yep. Every day,
every which way. It's cigar smoke
and open fucking garbage can.
I ran out of toilet paper. I've been
using newspaper. Just put it on
floor. Because that's where it should
be. Up my ass. You're totally
right though, Chris, because it's
definitely a house where, like, he had
like, whatever, a hamburger helper
the night before. Didn't finish it.
Scrape the rest of that into that garbage can
and then, like, later that next
night, with the fucking beef
still just rotting in that
hot California garbage can
and he doesn't notice it none.
No. Because he can't smell it over the
fucking cigar smoke. Okay. Here's just
a half of iceberg lettuce right on.
top oh yeah it's got a little rot to it never mind but yes there's all these pictures of like
you know because it's used to it's a bunch of pictures of young east with like photo not
photoshop probably like literally taped together with other people and it's like yeah i used to be
on the racing circuit never really made it big which is kind of okay it's kind of cool but not
doesn't again it's a it's a character trait they're trying to like he knows everything about cars
I guess that's why he went into the grand theft auto thing and I guess that's why he drives like
a maniac on the highway trying
to pursue people. But I kind of wish
we had a little something extra to drive
at home, a little more of a speed
demon scene for him. And
or like, oh, if I, you know, if I
with the last race I had, I killed somebody
and I had to stop or something, you know,
like, right. That'd be something. I do
like, though, that, you know,
because it could have been a thing where like
he was a hot
shot, like, national
champion, blah, blah. But
interesting, like, it's interesting how they play
with Eastwood's character's status in this movie, right?
Like, he does have the line later about, like,
I never got a big case, this was my big case.
Here with him being this racer, it's like, oh, yeah,
it wasn't anything great.
What does he say?
He's like, small time local stuff.
And so I'm like, okay, that's like,
it's an interesting way to dial this dude back.
Because you know, in other Eastwood stories,
it's like, yeah, well, I was the fucking Indy car champ seven years running.
And then I just decided to give it up and slept with some models for a while.
then I became an ace detective.
Ain't nothing been the same since I stopped working with valiant and valiant covered in true town.
Yeah, I never got famous racing cars or being a police officer.
If this case doesn't work out, I'm going to have to shoot the president.
I mean, Jody Foster's never going to fall in love with me at this rate.
I do, yeah.
I mean, like, it is, I mean, so I guess like local racing, it's probably the same kind of, it's like what's going on
outside of the bare-knuckle boxing
and everyone with every which way but loose like
down the road is the is the
the dry track racing I guess
oh yeah totally yeah
like that like sort of the shit you see
like Dom Torretto's
father doing in those flashbacks
of Fast 9 like just
just like nothing race track but you're
kind of like maybe known
sort of locally or whatever I do like the exchange
here because Eastwood's
like ex-wife and Charlie
goes don't tell me she hated racing
and this Eastwood line, no, she loved racing.
She just hated me.
L.O. L. L. I could see that.
And then so much like Bruce Wayne,
Clint Eastwood's got like 17 motorcycles in his garage.
Yeah, I love this scene where, like, he comes,
they go into the garage, and Charlie Sheen gets a look at a dude.
He sees a deuce, but the more important thing is he sees the Harley Davidson motorcycle.
That Clint Eastwood is like, that son of a bitch,
never works. I don't get it. And then Charlie Sheen hits its G spot and it works. Yes.
Like he just puts his fingers in a piece of the fucking. Well, it's just a way for like these characters to find some kind of common ground.
He's the Fonz. It's great. It is just funny though that like Eastwood, you didn't try that one thing. It appears as if he just, it's like, it's like that fucking Simpsons guy. Like, oh, here's your problem. You had it switched to evil. You had the motorcycle switch to broken. Yes, exactly.
and around here is also when like remember at one point in the film we didn't really specify
but Charles Eastwood says to Charlie Sheen that like why you dress like an old timer with this suit and tie
dressed like you normally wear because we're undercover and now they go on the news
which is yeah because like something something Tony Plano's information is paying off so that
they're really fucking up
Straum's business. And like
the news lady's like, wow,
Pulaski, you're doing a great job
breaking up all these shop shops. Why would this be on the news?
So Ralph Julius sees
this like profanity
laid in remark
on the news broadcast here. And he does a great
speaking of fucking taxi driver
kicks this TV. Oh yeah.
We're going to be moving on again,
Liesel.
Well, it's kind of great. Yeah. I mean, like again, like
It just seems like a guy like he's not the, you know,
for whatever reason I'm thinking of K-9,
like the guy that's like the pillar of the community
that like is glad handing everything.
He's like he can't string two fucking nickels together.
No.
Like the mafia is sweating him down at that restaurant scene.
They're like, well, what are you going to pay us?
He's like, well, I lost the one shipment.
What am I supposed to do?
Like kind of a thing, which is,
I mean, he's a loser.
Like he's one of the worst.
Like, I think it's all comes.
I think why Nick is so,
with him is because like he cannot stand
the fact that his you know his beautiful
partner was gunned down by a complete
fucking loser
this guy who cannot
fucking like cannot hack it at the crime life
at all. Can't believe it was strong
that got him. God damn.
This guy gets fucking beat by this
70 year old and a rich boy.
Yeah. Come on.
Come on.
Speaking of rich boy, this is where we go
to Charlie Sheen and
Lara Flynn Boyle go to his parents' house
for what turns about to be
his mother's birthday? Yes.
If I'm remembering that right.
And yeah, parents are loaded.
Lamedest fucking jazz band
you've ever seen in your life playing this party.
So lame that Clint Eastman's son
is a part of it. Yep. Yep.
It's not Scott, though. It's another one.
Scott was stolen by Strom.
Oh my God, he's got my son.
Who also is a car?
I just slept the pianist of Jefferson
to play Peg by Steely Dan
So of course
Nick crashes this party
He gets there before Charlie Sheen
Which is very funny
And he goes
Charlie Sheen says to him
Are you here to arrest my mom for drug abuse
Kind of a good
Charlie getting some comedic moments
Here in this movie, not too many
Well if it's your birthday I can do that
We do fine
We do find that Nick
Clinius Wood was invited
by Tom Scarrett to
look after the boy.
Which is so weird thing. Well, the weird thing is
like he, first of all, Claytonius Wood was like,
oh, I didn't know you're a loaded kid. What are you
doing with, pretended to be a cop? Great question.
He never really gives a satisfactory answer.
But then Scarrett's like, can I bother
your partner here? And like,
here's the thing. I want to know
because money gets moved around a little bit.
How much are we talking? It looks
no more than $500.
I would say $500.
It looks like it's $500.
Which is not that.
I mean, look, I guess it's 1990, you know, blah, blah, blah.
It's a nice little payday, but like, it's nice.
Look, I guess it's a tip, you know what I mean?
For the continued protection of his son.
Exactly.
I feel like you need, you need to have a scare at say something like, uh, once a week.
Yeah, exactly.
This is this week and then we'll see you next week as long as my son stays alive.
That's a taste of things to come.
Well, that makes sense because he is,
Tom Scarrett has been living that lifestyle
of like, you know that even if it doesn't
say like custom on the menu or whatever,
if you give that little bit of money,
that little extra couple hundred,
you will always get the custom.
So, like, he's like,
give this to Clint Eastwood.
He can buy, I guess, expensive hot dogs
or whatever he does with his money.
I don't know.
They're called Polish boys and they use a kipasa.
It's a snap.
You need to hear the snap when you bite into them.
Oh, my God, $8 a pound.
Can you believe it?
But once a year do I get it?
I buy all my meat in bulk and then I put it in my garage freezer.
I got a case of Humboldts coming from upstate New York.
They're going to last me through the winter.
It's just such an ignorant, rich dude thing.
The line actually says is, I want to guarantee David's safety.
And Eastern has this great line to she and he goes,
hey kid tell you dad the next time he needs a babysitter to check the yellow pages
they're a lot cheaper yes he also has a great line directly to scare it like you want to guarantee
buy a toaster oh right it's on the box
but yes everything better eastwood gives the money to sheen
sheen goes to his father and then like you know storms out and throws the money on the
floor. And guess who ain't too proud
to pick up money from the floor?
Mr. Polowski. That's my man.
Well, he did the right thing. Dude, he gave the money
away, and it's not his problem that the person
he gave the money away to also gave the money
to the ground. If you love something,
set it free. If it comes back
to you. If you love some
money. If you love
some money. Oh, those
good, I was worried about those
sausages, about
them not being bought.
all my sausage money i have pure mexican jerseos coming in from the middle of tijuana
that'd probably be too spicy for his old colin oh no i mean i think he goes for if it's sausage
he'll take it i don't know a little too ethnic for me uh so whatever somewhere around
here ral juliet catches one of these henchmen uh in his house this is to
on again. It is Tony. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, but this is what, yes, this is what gets
him ultimately kill. But yes, he's planting
a bug on behalf of Clinties Wood.
And then it's a weird, like, he
hears a rustling in the house. And instead
of, like, get out of there, he chooses to
just sit on the couch, like, oh, hey, how's
it going, Strom? Just thought I'd drop
by. Hello, fellow
criminal. Just waiting
in your house for you. I thought we had a meeting. Do we
not have a meeting? Do we have that wrong?
Wait, wait, wait, do you not do this?
Yeah, no, no. You can break into my house.
same time you like when you have to have a meeting, of course.
The last morning party was, is next week.
It's next week. Oh, wow.
Okay. Okay.
This is so bad, though. Like, when he realizes, like, he's got right here, he's like, I, uh, got
a go.
And then it turns around and there's Liesel, Sonia Braga, behind him, kicks the shit out of
this dude. Uh, and then there were great, uh, Rolf Julia here.
You took me for a ride. Now it's your turn.
Chow.
I'm surprised that at that distance,
this guy's so stupid
that he even got the bullet
in the guy's head.
Even that he got that.
Oh, no, I shot my own foot.
Ouch.
Faster, what did I do to myself?
Damamushka.
Ow, fuck.
I do, this movie's got
a really good. Whoever was
the makeup artist to do the bullet to the head,
great, great job.
We see it a couple times
It's really special
It's great
I like the shot of them
Dropping the car and the leg
The dead leg just coming right out
So that you know for sure
That's his beamer
Yeah
They bring him down there to ID
Like this is your informant right
Nope
I don't know why I'm lying
Dude just impeding this
Police investigation
I think it's because like
He's not supposed to be on this case anymore
That he's lying about it the whole time
I mean, that makes more sense, I guess.
But, like, I thought that, like, it would be funny if, like, somehow, like, it got back to Roll Julia that, like, he got the, like, he didn't get the right guy.
That, like, that's something.
Then you could be, you know, he would suspect loco, perhaps or something.
Or Max.
I mean, one of them has got, I mean, they're both disposed of quite quickly, but, like, you could get either of them here.
Not only am I an inept criminal, but my henchmen are anept henchmen, damn it.
Which one is which?
So around here, Eastwood and Sheen have a little bit of a disagreement.
I hate your fucking fruit donuts.
Your fruit cake donuts with the pinky shit on top.
Oh, yes.
Throws it out the car.
Pinky shit, you mean sprinkles?
Yeah, fucking sprinkles, dude.
That's a new invention to him.
I like it old-fashioned.
No, that's a communist donut right there.
Back when I started, they'd put.
the kilbasa right on the donut yeah that's how a man eats a donut you with your sprinkles and these
donuts have gone woke you take the donut plain obviously you slap some kilbasa on it that's your
breakfast you're like one of those six sons of bitches who likes jalapeno cheese in your sausage
aren't you yeah these sprinkles rainbow what does that mean sounds like comet ping pong is real anyway
where do you think he stands on the common ping pong
great question he was too old to really buy into that i think i kind of feel that i think he's
a little too old school to like i doubt he's browsing facebook groups it's it's not the first
time he's been told that there's a liberal pedophile ring in the basement of a pizzerie i
think yeah he's probably several times in the 80s at least well usually they just finance
his films yeah well i think it's a thing where it's like yeah eastwood he's an old
school guy and old time conservative
whatever. Yeah.
But he's not fucking stupid.
Yes. So that's like, that's where I feel
internet or no. Like you could show
Clint East with like a Reddit thread
of QAnon stuff and he'd be like
when do we start
burning these people at the stake?
I'm not reading that.
That's the first thing. This Reddit
thing, I'm not reading that.
I don't care. This is not an
endorsement of Clean East. No. So,
but I do love it. Not an endorsement of Charlie Shee. No, I do love Clint, though. And I think he's
he's so funny in these last scenes when they do kidnap him. Like, oh, God. Oh, so good.
Go to the bicycle club casino, which was a nice. I didn't know California had legalized
gambling. I don't know. I don't know if it is legal or not. Well, the sign on this place is
certainly pretty big and light-upable for it to be an underground club. Well, you know, see, it's
legal as long as you're one of the Italian five.
families. You know, well, they're using bicycle bucks, so it's not real money, really.
So you know, did you say bison bucks? No, no, we didn't, sir. No one's ever saying bison bucks as a
good. I shall retire. Oh, God, can we just assassinate him? Like, it's just, this is getting so
exhausted. We've got to get a better car thief to work for us. I don't know what, when it became legal in
California for Native American casinos, but right now it says it is. So maybe the Italians
are working with them in this scene. According to the gambling in California page on Wikipedia,
state voters in 1976 approved a constitutional amendment allowing counties and cities to
legalize charitable bingo. An amendment passed to allow charitable rivals in 2000 and enabling
legislation went in effect in 2001. Legislation allowing poker night fundraisers took effect
in 2007.
Yeah, it's a charitable bingo.
I lost so much on that fucking land deal.
Fuck you.
Exactly.
Yeah, this is a charitable bingo slot machine.
Just you put a couple of quarter that's charitable bingo right there.
But you know, what's great about this movie in a way is it's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, shush, shish, shish, shh.
Yeah.
The movie's happening.
Well, it's just so great.
I've never seen a criminal, like, usually when he's a big car guy, it's like, and now one big car.
or take them all down.
But it's like, I don't know, let's rob a casino.
You know, mate?
I'm literally practically out of ideas.
And this is the most half-ass.
Like, you recall the planning that Danny Ocean.
Yes, exactly.
Put into robbing a casino.
Yeah.
This dude just comes in with a couple of smoke bombs.
Like, yes, this ought to do the trick.
Or the planning Phoenix rains put into stealing cars all in one night.
Yes.
Oh, right.
Yeah, totally.
That was his name.
I know it's Nick Cage, but he has a redonculus character.
Something reigns.
It's something rain.
Jericho reigns.
I don't know.
Let's go.
Yeah, so he goes in and it's like, oh, Mr. Strom, good to see you again to the casino, sir.
Hope you have luck tonight.
Here's well, Julia.
Again, as the saddest most pathetic criminal in film history, I stopped believing in luck a long time.
And may I remind you, I'm a huge loser.
I apologize, Memphis Rames.
Memphis Rains.
East Coast style rain.
I do love, so they go into the, he's like, now you open the vault, and he opens
the vault.
And I like how Dracula asked.
Yeah, of course.
You know, Ralt Julie ever played Dracula?
I think he did once, right?
He should.
He should have.
I mean, he should now, undead, dude.
I wish he was undead.
He played Dracula on Broadway.
Oh, fuck, I killed to see that.
Oh, I don't know.
Dracula on Broadway.
Oh my God.
These behind the scenes pictures are very good.
I bet this was a wonderful performance.
Oh, dude, it ran from 77 to 80 Revival of Dracula.
The cocaine must have been out of control.
Everyone stop what you're doing right now and Google Raul Julia, Dracula, and hit images.
It is amazing.
Quite striking.
It's beautiful.
Man was a beautiful, beautiful bird.
One of the best to ever do it.
He used to do it.
busting out of the, literally like Batman and Robin
from the 60s show. I'm not kidding you.
Like hiding in the bank of all
and like Issa just comes out with the gun in his face.
Like again, a major LOL moment for this supposedly serious action.
Hey, sir, you have a trouble breathing.
Shut up. They're going to be here any minute.
He said that an hour ago.
There is once they do finally walk out there.
he tells Raald Julia like,
you gotta bug up your ass.
I would love if
fucking Clayton Woods's like special power is.
He's like, oh, smoke, hey?
And he just goes in and he just sucks all the smoke
into his lungs.
That would be incredible.
Hey, Sarge.
Again, limited air supply.
No Stokees in the bank vault, please.
By the way, I'm just,
I'm almost left speechless here.
I did find a photograph of Raul Julia
as Dracula.
It's so good.
It's 1977.
Gorgeous.
Damn, that's pretty cool.
So nice.
The play bill is,
I want this playbill,
honestly.
It's really dope.
I'm sure you can buy it off
with some freak on eBay.
I'm sure you can.
There's a,
on YouTube just because we're talking about this.
If you want,
there's Merrill Streep and Raul Julia
did a production of Taming of the True
for Shakespeare in the Park.
And you can watch most of it on YouTube.
too, it's incredible.
Any draculas in that?
I do believe that Shakespeare
had two draculas
that do a lot of like the chorus.
Oh, okay.
I mean, and that's the thing.
And obviously, like, he had a good film career.
He had that movie about that pre-sac got assassinated.
Like, he had a good film career,
but he was a theater guy.
You know what I mean?
Like, he wanted to do theater.
It was always like,
I will do a shitty Clint Eastwood movie
and then like three plays.
And that would be fantastic.
And then I stopped the play.
I do overdrawn at the memory.
Oh, God.
dude that Romero you're talking about Steve about the priest I think that oh me yes I watched it
in Catholic school at one point because they're like see see what happens are they wheeled out the
TV for they did uh-huh um so yeah sheen fucks this up right here because sonia braga's like
got a gun and Eastwood's like shooter and he hesitates shoot her she's a dinosaur yes uh winds up
getting shot in the back by this woman
three times. And she goes,
she calls them an amateur and then shoots him in the back.
She's right. She's 100% right.
It's almost, I feel like they were like, you know,
we can't have her do this, but she was supposed to originally be like,
fucking rookie.
Yeah.
No, no, no, we're called this movie The Rookie. You can't be doing that now.
It's, I mean, like, her character takes some wild turns.
Well, yeah. I was good. I was kind of surprised that she does it like,
okay, well, okay, we have everybody stopped.
and then she just fucks Charles Sheen right there
while he's like taking in his last breaths.
I want to watch the light leave his eyes as he penetrates.
Yeah, some Zanya up on a top shit.
Ooh, yeah, now we're talking.
So yeah, uh-oh, no money in the safe.
And Rale Julia's like, we have to improvise.
And I mean, this is the worst plan anyone's ever had.
It's so bad.
And it's crazy that it works, first of all.
It's Charlie Sheen's fault that it works, even at all.
but it also doesn't.
He kidnaps a cop.
You're going to kidnap a cop for $2 million.
Of course, they have to say no
because then everyone would kidnap a cop.
Like that's just how that works.
Why would they do with this?
For Clint Eastwood?
For Clint Eastwood,
you want them to pay $2 million.
Yes.
That's, that's a,
there should be like a sliding scale on that.
That guy's like 70 grand.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
At most.
But so then like as, as this whole,
standoff happens, they allow these
people to steal a police car
and drive off with this dude. Like this
is yet another black guy for the
LAPD. And Raul Julia says
like, you know, we'll be monitoring all your
frequencies. So if you
if there's anything about following us, we'll
kill him. Right.
So, yeah. I mean, you just
like, it turns, like, so
Charlie Sheen comes staggering
out with the, like, turns out he had a bulletproof
vest on so he didn't die.
And everybody is
pissed at him that fucking Clint Eastwood
got kidnapped. Yes. That he
did kill. Now, like, to a degree I get
it, you should have, you should have been able to shoot
Sonia Brogah. Well, the reason why
everyone's pissed off at him is, I guess,
because he was shot in the back, so everyone thinks he was
running away or something. Oh, is that? Yeah, that's why
when, uh, when, uh, the lieutenant
and like, I forget the other guy. Oh, the chief. The chief, yeah, they're like,
the chief is like, like, like, shot in the back. Like, it's like
very, like, spelled out. Like, yeah, like, you took it in the
back, didn't you? And then he like scoffs
at him. That's such bullshit. Like you
fuck this case up from the beginning
there, Lieutenant. So
like maybe you want to take some
responsibility on this for the
literally the movie, the rookies,
the rookie.
But and then so
Lieutenant Garcia is like, you need to take a vacation.
I don't want to see your fucking coward
face for at least two weeks.
Six. Do those count as regular
sorry. I know this is a terrible time to ask.
Are those like regular vacation days
Or because it's like
Since you're telling me to do it
Like is that on top of what I usually get
My dad's plane can go to Turks and Caicos
On 24 hours notice
But I should put it in now if I can go
Yeah that is yeah
That's paid time off of course
Right
There's nothing but paid time
And while you're on
Your two week vacation
Here's some overtime on top of it
Yep yeah exactly
Because you know late at night
You may be up for hours on end
Thinking about cop stuff
That's overtime.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's a business.
Your own thoughts?
Yeah, that's a business.
Let me jot that down.
And that should be your time.
That should be your time at home.
And you're working for us.
And that's sad.
So Sheen, you know, goes home.
And this is where, like,
so his partner is kidnapped.
It's pretty much his fault.
He has another flashback about the brother dying.
And you see him now, David,
doing nothing in this flashback,
while the brother just falls off the roof
and then this is Charlie Sheen
smashing his forehead into this mirror
repeatedly. How's Annie? How's Annie?
How's Annie?
A lot of him. Speaking of
Alarfield Boyle is like, hey, babe,
everything okay in there? And he's like,
not anymore, no more mistakes.
And he like starts loading all these guns. And I'm like,
okay, so you're going to go kill yourself.
Well, this is crazy. He goes, it's time for me to stop
being scared and for other people to start. And I was like,
there are three flowers in a blue vase.
Well, this is how you'd go from Dougie to Mr. C, right?
You got to, you make that transfer here.
He's been a nice boy.
Now he's going to go rip a bunch of heads off.
He goes back to the Casablanca.
The first time he orders a beer, he gets it.
The second time, he's like, I'd like another beer.
And because there was a law, Clinton Eastwood was like, wait a second, we didn't use the F-Bob slur yet.
Hold our horses.
Hold everything.
here it comes shut down production
go ahead Steve said and I will not
but he's like oh yeah I'm not
we're not serving you F bomb and then he's like oh yeah
and then he takes I mean look at one of the greatest
things it's so cool I mean this bump this movie up a half star for me
is him taking a lighter and a tequila
and burning this dude's face off he spits the liquor
and lights in a fire and
singes this bartender.
Now, thank God this happens
because again in this bar,
the light, smooth Latin jazz
playing at this fucking greasy roadhouse
is such a mistake, Clint, whatever, dude.
And we've talked about Charlie,
quite a bit, because it's she and parole.
And like, you know,
we talk about drama, Charlie,
comedy Charlie, a little bit of action,
Charlie here, I've never seen him go
quite so agro as he does in this.
Like, he's, come on, motherfucker fuck with me,
fuck with me, fuck with me, fuck with me.
best scene of the movie i don't think he's very good in this movie no i think this is the best part
it is i think the best part is his short arms doing like these barely punches and kicking
and then people like flying back like because he's just not he's not in fantastic shape i mean
much better shape than i'll ever be but it's not like this is like chris helmsworth or you know
even jake jillen hall in roadhouse just fucking dudes up he's just like kind of regular topper
harley charlie shed yes we allowed people to be fucking normal looking in movies it's true yeah but he's
But he's just like, punch and be like, ah, God.
Yes, and he's looking for Loco Martinez.
Yes.
The whole thing.
Because now he's got like no, nothing to turn to.
He's no idea where he used to it is.
So he's very hard up for this information.
Which is why he has to destroy this bar.
Looking for Loco Martinez is my one act play about growing up in the Bronx.
I would love that playbill.
And Loco Martinez, you find out, was a kid who like borrowed an action figure from Steve.
and then never came back to school
and Steve his whole life has been really mad about that
but it turned out it was like
oh we had to go into like
witness protection
and then so Steve's character at the end of the play
feels bad about it
yeah it's beautiful
haunting half of this thing is sitting a bodega
really oh you bet your ass it is of course
so this is where Charlie Sheen fights two dogs
he throws one dog across the bar
and L-O-L
It's swiftly assassinates this other dog.
I think the one dog that gets thrown maybe clips the pool table.
Oh, it's a beautiful, beautiful toss.
Again, I'm with you, Andrew.
Like, again, dog violence is not something I'm super cool with to see in movies.
However, the more puppetish, the more I'm laughing, and I was howling last night.
Yeah, I was having a good time.
I was having a good time.
I'm totally fine with you because it's this, you know, when you're doing stuff in a movie like this,
like the dog has not been, like, personified in any way.
It's just like an evil junkyard attack dog.
So I can, my brain, you know, as shitty as this sounds, like can separate that.
You know, at the dog fighting part, I was like, that's a fucking tragedy.
Yeah, exactly.
But these dogs are villainous dogs trying to hurt the hero of the film, you see.
So, you know, they got what they had coming, I guess, in one way or another.
But so, yeah, freaking out, this is like, come on, motherfuckers, you like playing games.
He fucking yells.
And then proceeds to dump a bunch of booze all over this bar and light it on fire.
It's so nice.
It's so good.
Oh, my God, it's great.
The whole place is burning down.
He does have a great, like, final line here because, like, the bartender stands back up,
like, his face is all red or whatever.
And Charlie just puts some money down on the bar.
He's like, I never did pay you for that beer.
Well, like, this place is burning down around this man.
It's so funny.
He also threatens to shoot him at the head if he doesn't let him know where Loco Martinez is.
He doesn't know for real, but he knows where Little Felix works out of Third and Howard at the Cleaners.
Oh, man.
You know what, dude?
if I'm in like, you know, any kind of gang
and like, all right, so what's my day job?
You know, I don't want the cops to be on me.
And like, oh, you have to work.
No, I'm not working the laundering now.
Sorry.
Next.
Well, I think, I think he said bar.
I think he said bar.
I think maybe he just runs it though, dude.
You know what I mean?
Like he's not putting shirts up on the contraption.
Oh, God.
Get the shirt on the fucking wire hanger.
Steve, he's laundering money perhaps.
Oh.
Literally.
And it's like, that's not how that works.
You're going to jail.
fuck shit yeah oh my god i just sent all this i just got all this more chemicals on these
twenty dollar bills thought i was laundering them what you mean i can't use these why you mean i
can't use these that's been on there but course i can he does find little felix hanging from a
hanger oopsid-oopsil but this is when loco reveals himself to have a special move which is this
like chain garret thing that he's got going on that's kind of fun the garret wire i do like this
Did everybody catch the Charlie scene, Charlie Sheen for reasons unknown,
making a blazing saddles joke when he walks into this.
Yeah, that's, that's Charlie Improv for sure.
Candy Graham for Mr. Mungo.
Yep, exactly.
Yeah, dude.
That's very strange.
It is, I mean, it is a Charlie Improv.
It does to that effect and feel like a hot shots joke almost.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
But, yeah, anyway, Paul Ben Victor, yeah, dead.
hanging from this conveyor belt.
You had Cruz attacks here with this garret wire or whatever.
And then they go out into the street.
And Cruz basically, there's all these bystanders that come up
because there's like a fight happening on the block.
And Cruz tells all these dudes in Spanish
that it's Charlie Sheen that has murdered Little Felix.
And they all start like trying to like,
it's almost like a zombie horde.
Like everybody descends on this dude like beating the shit out of him.
And again,
just shooting our way out of a crowd of people.
He's just firing wildly into the sky
to get these people like out of the way
or whatever.
Which is great.
And then he goes to his dad.
And then this is like Tom Scarritt seen
two of two and a half in this movie.
I mean literally.
And I mean like you need,
I would remove the whole thread
because also the $2 million.
So like the cops immediately say like
they're not going to give $2 million.
I don't know what that is.
Never going to happen.
but Charlie's plan is to get the $2 million anyway
and the way in which they use it later makes no sense
because literally the criminals pick up the
bag that doesn't have $2 million
that's like oh no no no criminal
here take the money it's like that doesn't make any fucking
that you won you did the thing
I guess you if you hate your dad that much
I don't know man like I would just take the $2 million and run
yeah I guess so right
well he's an honest guy
He wants to be better than his father.
But to your point, yes, you can't have a scarce, scare it.
You got to get this guy a beefier part.
I do think that just underlines just how inept
fucker Raul Giulio's whole situation at this point.
He just cannot get a break.
He can't even get the right fucking bag.
It's like a heart to heart scene.
Or it should be because, like, again, like Charlie's on berserker mode
and he's just like, I don't make mistakes anymore.
And I'm not apologizing for shit.
blah, blah. And, like, his dad is just like, listen,
you're the only son I have left. You know,
it's scared to act. He's the only son I have left.
You matter to me. What I want you to do,
I want you to, one, forgive yourself.
And then two, stop being a cop.
At some point, it would be cool if he was like,
well, I do forgive myself, but I'm never,
no, he's just like, no dice on either.
I'm going fucking for it. It's like, well, that's
I'll be whipping myself tonight, dad.
Fuck you. I am going to be suicidal for the rest of my
fucking life, asshole.
How do you like that?
Just give me the money and shut up.
Yeah, $2 million, please.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Everyone out of this boardroom, my daddy's giving me money.
Say whatever it is, you need to have him here to get that money and then just do something else later.
Sure, yes, exactly.
It doesn't matter.
I don't know.
But, yeah, it's a lot of like, you know, he's like, give yourself a decent life.
And he's like, no, this is my life.
Help me.
Yes.
You know, and that sort of like puts an end to the argument, like,
yeah dude like i'm just a cop i know you fucking hate it but this is what i chose to do with my life
no yeah fuck off and give me this money so i could buy my partner back from these terrorists i will
not be happy until i am also 75 years old smoking cigars every day and having a grudge against
german beer of all things uh so here we go the most uncomfortable and hilarious scene in the
movie we come back to the hideout
Eastwood is
handcuffed to this chair
and Sonia Braga is
kind of slinking around
here and Eastwood asked for a glass of
water. FYI, if you watch this
at the Alamo draft house,
your bill is already on the table.
That's where we are in the movie. Like literally
people are fucking cleaning up
back stairs. They're getting ready for the next
showing, but for some reason
this needs to happen.
Well, to the movie's defense, I don't
think Alamo existed. No, I had time. I mean, I thought, I'm waiting for a Melissa
Etheridge song to kick in during this scene. This is, it's a late stage, uh, sexual scene.
What's funny is like I, I was reading the Wikipedia, apparently there's a big hubbub around
the time where it's like, no, there's, it's a rape scene that, where a woman rapes a man and this
was controversial. I didn't necessarily read it like that because I think Eastwood's pretty game here.
Yeah, he seems it.
I don't know. I don't know how to exactly read it.
But, yeah, so it starts slow where it's like,
oh, how about a glass of water?
And that he gets it and spits it all over her face.
She starts licking around her lips of the droplets of water.
And she starts sucking his chest.
And she does a wrestling move with the razor,
Andrew, the razor blade to above the eyebrow.
Yep, absolutely.
Like mankind.
Yep.
No, just to get a little something going there because she's like,
I mean this is like straight up vampire play
like she's licking this blood later
all this shit she goes
you taste like fear pig
and then like bites his chest
and then she shows him
this like suicide
bullet that she's like
Strom has another one of these
and if one of us dies
sure the other one takes
takes us takes themselves out or whatever
that's the deal we have
it's romantic
yeah real
real romantic stuff here
she's filming herself by the way we should say yes that's what I was that's what I was getting to yes she starts this the tape filming all the security cameras real sliver shit here we're just filming this stuff go down and she fucking takes off her panties and opens this dude's fucking pants and sits down and starts gyrating away and we hear her going don't lose it like talking to this fucking old dick like don't lose that erection all right if if my life is at stake if you go in my
back pocket in my wallet, there are
some bills. If we're really
going to do this.
I'm going to need
a little bit of help. The way
it's played is later on
when Charlie Sheen actually, like
sees the tape that starts
replaying later in the movie, he's like,
hey, don't be a pervert.
So it sounds like he's
into it. He's into it. I don't know how
else to read this because like, yeah, the whole don't
lose it thing. Like, it just
It's a Clint Eastwood movie.
He has to fuck some bait.
Exactly.
He's been doing it forever and he's doing it today still.
I mean, let's just put it this way.
Clint Eastwood and Clint Eastwood's character he's playing did not see a problem.
Yes.
I didn't like that disclosure picture.
I got to tell you.
I found it quite offensive.
I'll be honest with you.
Hit a little too close to home.
I've been in that situation.
He should be so lucky.
Okay.
All right.
If you don't want me to look,
you're going to have to put a finger out of my ass.
Yep, that's it.
That's the one.
Oh.
So, yeah, David calls home,
checks in with Sarah,
and she's like,
oh, yeah,
Lieutenant Garcia is here.
But then, uh-oh,
it is not Lieutenant Garcia.
It is our friend,
Mr. Loco,
pretending to be Lieutenant Garcia.
And this is where
some detectives here
Lance and Wang were told
have been tasked with tracking down Charlie Sheen
Anyone get who it's either Lance or Wang
One of these dudes is Joe Paulus
Yeah Cheers actor
Absolutely I believe Lance
He's Gary from Gary's Old Town Tavern
He's also a fuchs in the thing
Well that's right
But yeah so Ackerman
Realizes here that Sarah is in danger
Because they're like
He says something about oh man Garcy
is at my house or something and they're like we just saw Garcia like at the office what are you
talking about and so he realizes now something is up uh he fucking shakes these dudes immediately
uh sarah at the same time here is noticing that uh oh lieutenant Garcia is on TV and that's not
the guy who's at the house right now uh she's got berlin coffee that she gets him in the face with
which kind of fun right and this struggle the struggle that ensues guys I I mentioned this to you
via text earlier. Let me find
the picture to send it to you.
There is quite a few
visible crew members during
this fight where local
Martinez portraying Lieutenant
Garcia fights Sarah in this
house. I'm texting it to you guys
right now. I do like
because he does start to
he starts to garret her and
it's very
no country for old man honestly.
Who is that guy?
There's two guys in the house that are
just part of the film crew.
Oh, my God.
Front and center.
Dude is wearing a white t-shirt and khaki pants.
Yes.
As all get out.
As obvious as all get out.
I just, you know, I watched this movie not too long ago, re-watching it today.
And it was like a flash.
I was like, wait, who the hell's in the, who else is in the house?
Like, what's happening?
And I'm like looking over tape like it's an X-Files episode.
Like, there's someone else on the film, Scully.
Exactly.
And it turns out there is evidence of that.
I guess that is,
Clint Eastwood has like a fast directing style, right?
He's like two takes or something.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So I think it's just like,
no one will notice.
Who cares?
I mean, come on.
Also, who gives a shit?
Whatever.
Tom's in the shot.
Tom's a good looking guy.
What's the problem?
Wait, wait,
Tom, Gus is there too.
He's looking pretty handsome.
Leave it in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You want a realistic baby in Bradley's arm.
Oh, God.
I just give him a plastic one.
He'll be fine.
It is crazy.
just two guys standing there
while her head is front and center
in the frame. It is a wild
mistake in this film. And I mean
like right now as she's
being choked to death by a man she's never even
met, you got to be like, well,
I hope I don't die. Oh my God. My life
is flashing before my eyes. I am
leaving my husband the second he comes home.
If I'm alive, yep. I don't care
if he saves me or not. Oh man. Am I leaving him?
No amount of inheritance money is worth
this dude pretending to be
different cop and then trying to kill
me. Yes. Use some
of that money to get me a house
elsewhere, please. That's the only
way I'm going to allow this. Charlie
motorcycles right into the house, which is pretty dope.
It is cool. Yeah, I really
like this. Decent
work here on this bike, really
jamming it into the house, which is
cool. As we were talking about
earlier this week and on screen live, the
Roadhouse remake couldn't figure out how to
practically back a truck up.
So pretty cool to see a
motorcycle go through a door. I mean, there are there are actual stunts and that's why you see
Gus and Phil or whoever in the background of some shots, but I am very pleased with the stunt
work of this movie. I prefer having a couple guys with white t-shirts in the back of your shot.
If that's what I need to have to get the good stunts and the good stuff, fine. There was some
trivia about this movie. Yeah. There was like, oh, you have it, Steve?
80 stuntmen, which is twice the number of people in the cast. Yes. Awesome. Oh, bless you. That shows
the market quality. That's why it's
a pretty fun movie to watch.
So this massive fight
goes down. Yes. Between Charlie
and Loco here. And it ends with
Lara Flynn Boyle shooting
the shit out of this guy.
Pretty cool. It's one
of those like one probably would
have done it. Yeah. But she goes
for the fucking hat trick and lays
waist to this. And he has the audacity
like, God damn, I needed that guy
alive. I'm like, you. All right.
How many of bullets are left in this thing?
I'll tell you this, Steve.
You, though, I've been saying, like,
oh, this is where she's going to leave him, blah, blah, blah.
Here's something I don't think you've taken into consideration.
They are both kind of horny as hell after she killed that dude.
Absolutely.
Because he's like freaking out for a second.
And then, you know, he's like,
if I wanted him dead, I want a shot him myself.
Maybe next time you aim for the kneecaps, huh?
And then she goes, I was aiming for the kneecaps.
And it looks like they're about to start furiously making it.
out with each other. Yeah, but no, we can't because
we have to say, oh,
you know, the person who
would deface a work of art like that
with that color should have their ass removed.
This is a reprisal of
a earlier
scene with Clint and
Max at the
chop shop where the garage.
Local Martinez is, the car is
painted green instead of red.
So now we have Charlie Sheen.
He's going to take that green
Ferrari or whatever the fuck it is.
to go get his true beloved
which is a 75 year old alcoholic
who is being
sexed or raped by
Sonia Braga as this is happening
and he does a bang up job
of it I got to say rescuing this old man
and the thing is it's kind of like the final bit here
like basically
we're everyone's going to
relieve the most inept guy
to go max to go kill
Eastwood while we go get the money
money, we meaning
Raul Julia, some other guy
and Sonia Bragg,
we're all going to get the money together.
Right. And as they're doing that,
wouldn't you know it? Clint Eastwood gets the drop
on this fucking hapless loser.
Jesus Christ. Well, this guy
makes the mistake of pulling a gun on Eastwood.
This guy is like
a chop shop version of like a hacker
character. Exactly. This guy don't know
weapons. No. And so like, yeah,
gets the drop on him immediately,
starts strangling him with these handcuffs.
then dangles him over an open elevator shaft hanging him with the handcuffs that are attached
to his arm. Pretty baller. You hear the neck break. It's beautiful. And then he lets the body,
well, no, he try, I think he tries to let the body drop. He falls with it and then uses him. He uses
the body to break his fall. He surfs down this elevator shaft on this corpse. And what you need here
both arms are broken. Sorry, at least both arms are broken. Well, where you see him land like,
his legs are definitely
hitting the elevator chef like both
are the elevator car and not landing
on this dude like I think
legs are broken more than anything
I mean his whole body is broken
at this point I mean they
two of those stunt men that we were talking
about the 80 there they were
doing the when he gets
free of the chair Eastwood has
to like put the
cuffs over like his legs
to get out of it and it's
very from the back and it's definitely a 30
your role doing this. Oh, sure. Yeah, totally. He can't pull that move on. Oh, no. He dislocate
both of his shoulders. The hip is gone. The hip is gone after that. She happens to be at the same elevator
on top of the same elevator that, um, Raul Julia's in. Because Raul Julia's coming back for
Sonia Bragha, who Eastwood had knocked out. Yes. And there's blood dripping on Raul
Julia. And, you know, Eastwood tries to dome him, but, uh, too little too late here. Yeah,
sadly. He's playing in a little too.
slow here. Plenty of time if I can get
this dude in the noodle with this gun
and a little too much hesitation. I do
like the tension though that this scene builds
because first the blood is like
hitting the floor and like kind
of some of Rawls
like shoe I think and he doesn't
notice it and you're like oh fuck
like is he going to get away with this
and then like a bird
shitting on him in the park this huge
blood splurt
drops on this dude's shoulder and he's like
wait a minute now!
it's fucking great
yeah he runs up
he sees the sex tapes playing
and he's you know
Julia doesn't really like that
I think sheen runs in at this point
he distracts him and he runs
they like him and Braga both
go down to the van
to leave at this point
and yeah they just run away
say goodbye to your Polak
oh yes
this is where
yeah when Eastwood turns off
the tape and Charlie Sheen's like
I was just starting to enjoy that
and he's like pervert
Yeah, and then there's the whole like
He mentioned something like
While you were up here and she was sitting on your face
Sitting on your face
She did not sit on my face
Yep
How many times do I have to mention that
I would never put my mouth there
Ever I don't do that
It's gay
I've never done that my entire life
And yes everyone's dissatisfied
I sit on her face
Oh God
That's how it usually goes
dude get it clint um but this is the part of the movie where a car becomes a supercar
wherein like raoul julia's gonna blow up the fucking chop shop and clennings was like buckle up
we're gonna die and they just drive out they they fall like 30 stories down it there's amazing
like they drive out of this like warehouse that's exploding the the bombs go off we there's a shot of
Clinton, Charlie Sheen talking mid-air.
Yeah, he's like,
well, the fire is behind him, and he's like,
I said, fasten your seatbelt.
And the,
the land, the, what do he call it there?
The airbag gets the face, no problem there.
And then they're just on it.
Basically, this movie ends in baggage claim,
which is really surprising.
Yeah, it's a lot.
There's a lot going.
Like, now we get the drop off.
And, like, he shows up to his own,
his own hostage.
exchange to get this guy.
Now, so Tom Scarrett gave the $2 million.
The real Lieutenant Garcia brings it to this drop.
This van shows up with one of these henchmen.
They take the money.
They drive down the street only to be mugged by Clean East with the guy that's,
we're supposed to be paying to recover.
Again, they put, they're about to pick up the drop bag, the fake bag with laundry in it.
And then Clinties was like, no.
no, no, take this bag, and it's got all the money.
Garcia says.
Yes, I was like, Garcia's.
My dirty undies, dude.
So much of this makes no sense.
First of all, we've got like 500 cops, guns all pointed at this, like, dummy suitcase.
Yes.
And this dude pulls up in his little mystery machine van.
I think the, it's like a cleaning company or something that we're all jewelry is using as a cover.
It's a, they're all wearing the jumpsuits.
They look like fucking Ghostbusters.
It's supposed to be like a FedEx kind of overnight maze.
Oh, is that what it is.
It's an airport.
mail service. Oh, sure. Yeah, that makes sense then. So, like,
the dude pulls up and he's just getting it. And then
what we're forgetting here, Tom Scarrett just doesn't show up with
this bag of money. A fucking stretch limousy. Yes, yes.
Pulls into the middle of this police operation. Yes. And everybody's
like, well, what's going up? Like, this, the chief of police is like,
what's happening right now? And like, Tom Scarrant and another guy get
out of the car with this fucking bag and like leave it there. And it's just like,
okay
and Garcia's like here's the real one
take it like what are we
doing? Why is this feeling
more like a non-fight
storyline happening in like a
wrestling event like well now
whose limos driving into the arena
like it's just it's got no business
going down like I know I was expecting
Rick Flair as well
oh no Vince is in the
Vince is in the limo everybody
get Vince it's a limousine match
I'm sure there's been a
Oh, I'm sure there has been. But yes, it's convoluted. It's stupid. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The van eventually stops over a manhole.
Dude, we're doing a ninja turtles. Uh-huh. I love it. This is the genius of this. Because you think they're not going to get out of there with two million dollars. They have 500 cops right there watching them. But if you stop at a red light, open a hole in the bottom of the van and go into the sewers at which Charlie Shane and Kleeneas would do as well with this guy to get strong because this time it's personal.
It's the only sewer that is, like, right out of parking space next to a sidewalk.
Like, it's just, it's just a random one just happens to be there.
I'm kind of wondering, guys, if one Mr. J.J. Abrams has seen this movie.
Oh, yeah.
Because they do this exact thing in Mission Impossible 3.
You're right.
The exact, they drive over a manhole, and there's a fucking door at the floor of the van, and they all slink down in the sewer.
You know, I don't, I don't care for Clint Eastwood at all.
I think Unforgivin's a piece of shit.
But that rookie movie, man, it is, it is action-packed.
It is just something else.
And I just, I love how he, uh, he treats those, hmm, those people in the bar.
I just, I love that.
This is JJ Abrams you do?
Yes, this is my JJ.
Got it.
Could you tell it?
It was nerdy.
Yes.
That's all I got for him.
I like it.
I do love them, yes, switching out one van for just a backup van.
And Sheen's got a good line here.
like you even think about getting cute
I'll blow that shit you call brains
all over my partner and then Eastern's offended
and he's like shit you call brain
hey way to save hey
my brains are good
there too it's like make you know
make the call and uh you know
no funny stuff or whatever so he's
like oh yeah no I got held I got held up a little
bit I'll be there in 15 and
Ronald Julia going 10
like what are you going to do leave without the
two million yeah yeah exactly okay
okay dude whatever the thing you've
bitching about for half
this movie, you're just going to leave without it.
At that point, like, if you were on the phone with like,
dude, do you even know what you're doing?
No.
Like, come on, man.
Like, shut the fuck up.
You're going to get shot.
If I'm like, Zander Berkeley, I'm like,
Jesus, what did I sign on to?
This fucking clown shows.
Jesus.
Mickey Mouse.
Jesus Christ.
He's like, he's like the getaway guy in the plane.
And I mean, it's just, I've never seen someone drop two million dollars before.
And then it just scatters everywhere.
Yeah.
Well, first the.
Oops.
Oops.
I dropped it. I can't believe.
The van shows up.
Yeah. You know, the guy gets out, the henchman.
And Ralph Julius says to him like, good work, goodbye, and shoots him to take the money.
Yeah.
Great move, right? The joke has done this.
The Joker certainly has.
Yeah, that's pretty great.
And then it's just, yeah, it's kind of just the shootout.
We're chasing each other here.
Zander Berkeley immediately has this machine gun that he's firing at them.
He gets shot what looks like in the heart, but then a second later, he's driving the plane at Clint and Shee to try to knock him down.
This is incredible.
I love this.
Fucking actually chasing these guys down with a plane.
I mean, it's incredible.
Honestly, this is what we saw in Mr. McTiernan saw this movie as well in Rollerball.
Yes.
But of course, it wasn't in Night Vision.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, no.
What is?
Yes.
You see, if you'd seen Xander Berkeley get back up from his fatal gunshot wound,
in Night Vision.
The most influential films, of course,
Citizen Kane needs not be said,
but of course, the rookie 1999.
I got to meet that young pup,
Clint Eastwood the other day,
and I told him,
play Misty for me,
should be all in Night Vision.
Yeah, I kind of thought that guy
was just a bit of a fat weirdos.
Hey, Fatso, why don't you leave the eating
to yourself and the movies to me?
Yeah, take your fruit cake donuts with the pinky stuff on it out of here.
I know they're called Sprinkles, but I don't like saying Sprinkles.
Citizen Kane, a big pinko movie.
Why don't we share a steak salad?
You can have the salad.
I don't have the steak.
All I'm saying is why wouldn't we want Charles Foster Kane to be the Emperor of America?
He's a successful man.
He knows how to do it.
You think Gettys could get anything done?
Now, just answer me this here, Orson, at the end when he cries,
that's because he's so happy with everything to happen, right?
He just, he loves that he's done this all for America, right?
You know, that Amberson family lost all their money
because we started building things in China.
It was probably a great thing that you lost that original print, right?
Because this version's got to be better than that
then the original stuff that you shot, right?
The finger thing means the taxes.
But yeah, so at some point he drops to $2 million.
He tries to pick it up.
He can't.
Well, I think the suitcase is shot out.
Yes, that's right.
Because you hear like a pangu,
like a gun deflect kind of sound,
and then the suitcase hilariously opened.
And you know, like they get inside.
I think this is the San Jose International Airport.
I was looking at, I love old 80s stuff.
Like, bring back some Browns at an airport.
You know what I mean? Everything's so white and anonymous and like Apple looking like give me some browns. I mean, carpets, no, but like some browns, some oranges, some color. That's exact. I mean, it's that particular brown. It's the orange brown. Because we get a lot of browns these days, but it's usually dark browns. And I'm not a fan. I want you to start dressing new restaurants like old McDonald's dining room. Exactly. Everything needs to look like it's the 70s and we've been smoking.
exactly you want a color that will absorb cigarettes yes the the Burger King emblem is what you want
your color palette to be essentially everywhere thank you that's what I want yes everywhere I agree
I mean it's you know browns yellows and or it's kind of calming and nice but they're running
through this and basically Rao Giulia goes one way Sonia Brod goes another and then
clearly so it's like well she did rape me but I do I did kind of make it my whole thing to kill
Raoul yeah I'm gonna go after Raoul you kid you go that
way. Yeah. And so, yeah, it just, it does kind of turn into a longer than it needs to be
cat and mouse. Oh, man. I mean, Sonia Braga, just running through various parts of this airport,
spraying wildly with this machine gun. Shooting a few cops down or security. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. She
is a couple of airport cops at close range. Absolutely. Uh, and then this is, uh-oh,
where's, where's Charlie Sheen? He was right behind me. Then it's, he's, he's, he's,
snuck around and he's right behind her and gives
her back the old amateur
shoots her
twice in the chest
and then once in the
fucking head.
Because we had the technology to put that
little dot on the head. It looks really good in this
movie. We do it so much in this movie.
It is wild and it is just wild
to like shoot this woman twice in the chest
and then let's finish it off
with the brain. Well yeah. Now he's dirty
David. It's happened.
The creation has happened.
Speaking of the 1970s, I think that was a hit film.
And I love, so, like, Raoul Julia is going to chase by Eastwood up through baggage claim.
They come through a carousel, and I guarantee you, if my traveling, when Rael Julia gets onto the belt, I'm sure someone, oh, that's my bag?
Oh, no, it's not.
There's always that person.
Is that my, oh, no, it's not.
Dude, he pops out of this carousel, like fucking Kramer, dude.
They fly out of this thing and fight on it.
Is my bag a six-foot Puerto Rican?
Oh, no, it's not.
it's a black one oh it's a black bag
it could all sometimes look like a German crime lord
yes
oh no my German crime lord had a pink
bow on it I always put one on when I travel
so I know which one is mine
this is a different German crime lord
whose German crime lord is this
you know it's like cutting someone off to just be
in front of everybody
fucking assholes
but yes
I don't think I've ever seen a
climax on a barricage carous
before, but here we are. It is
kind of incredible, right? Like
Raul Julius, like saying,
I guess you have to call an ambulance or whatever.
And it's like, no, a man needs to
keep his word, takes the silver
bullet off his necklace and loads it into
his own gun. It's just insane.
Ballistics and shit doesn't exist.
I mean, there must be people who are watching
this, like from a little bit of afar.
Oh, yeah. There's cameras in
the airport at this point. It's
1990. Yeah. Pulaski,
the, the autopsic
back on that German crime lord uh shot him in the head with the silver bullet did you think he
was a werewolf uh yes he was i mean a German werewolf they happen all the time hey lieutenant
better safe than sorry you know quick question because the last line is like he's like i can think
of a hundred reasons not to kill you but none of them are really coming up right now so i am
going to kill you in cold blood which is a callback to something he says to someone else
earlier in the film. I don't remember what it was, but
it wasn't to Raoul Julia.
So then, Raul Julia's last
moments on Earth has to be like, what?
A little context, please.
I mean, that is, I mean,
that is a cruel, that is truly cruel.
It's just to make him completely
confused before you blow his brains out.
I do not understand your reference.
It sounds like a callback, but I wasn't
there. The first, oh, no, I'm dead.
What are you talking to Loco when you said this?
Yes.
And then, you know, Clint Eastwood, like, goes, like sits next to Charlie Sheen, the baggage carousel, I think he's taking the corpse around for a little trip. And oh, cigar, but no light. And then he passes out. This is what this movie refuses to end. Refuses that. I will say, don't want to miss the direct dirty Harry reference here. Because the gun that he tries to use on Ralph Julia is a gun that he gets off of a security guard at the airport. And he goes to fire it.
and there's no bullets in it.
So he goes,
you know that security guard
only had five bullets in his gun?
How about that?
And you're just like,
oh, does everybody get it?
Oh, boy.
The security guard had the silver bullet.
I don't know what it was doing there.
Well,
I guess that's the one reason
that you couldn't turn this
into a Harry Callahan movie.
Carrie Hallen very clearly does not fuck.
Yeah.
And so the scene with Sonia Braga
wouldn't work with him
because he would just be like, yeah, it's not working.
Nothing's happening down there.
Right. It's just, it's, it might have been, it's a lake.
It's a lake of skin down there.
It's nothing.
What is it?
It's just, it's a lake and skin.
I like this.
I don't like it at all.
No, no, neither are I.
It's awful.
Expand on that.
But, I mean, since we refuse to end, yeah, this scene between Charlie and him takes forever.
He does, like, it's like, who has a like, they have both ends of a cigar.
He passes out and says, ooh, is he dead?
and then the next scene
is shot for shot at the beginning
everyone's like sorry about Pulaski
sorry about Pulaski oh man
I hear about Pulaski
and you go into
Lieutenant Garcia's office
and who would be there
but Lieutenant Pulaski now
it makes sense because
Lieutenant Ray would definitely be fired
for all of this
like he's out the fucking
he's out the door immediately
but what's crazy though is that's not
what happens dude because
Charlie and asked where he's like
they kick
him upstairs. Oh really? Unbelievable. For that fucking
bungle of an operation that you got a promotion only on a
police force. I'm sorry. And you murdered a low rent
fucking car thief at the middle of San Jose International Airport. Here's
your promotion. Thank you so much for your service.
But it's funny though because you can see this right. This ending totally
being you know the what ends up with Harry Callahan like he's promoted and he's
a desk and that's the like I can totally see this being pitched as a fucking dirty
Harry movie and he rejected it but I mean like and then like we we got it you know what I mean
it's all I need is him to like pull it down is like they can't do upstairs they get it there
kid but no here comes his rookie it's a lady named Torres and she's got even bigger
better scores than you do I mean this is also I mean like it's a bit the the Calhan stuff
like this is I forget if it's sudden impact or the other one where he gets a a female
partner is the whole thing
is the whole joke. I think it's
Tyne Daly is the partner? Tine Daly is the partner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget which one it is, but
he does that. So literally
he's like, well, Charlie Sheen, you're just going to
be the new dirty Harry. We're going to
franchise this out.
It's very weird.
And yeah, so he just has the same
exit that Clint had with
Charlie at the beginning of the movie.
Yes. You know,
and it's like, whereas at the beginning
they put like a kick me sign on Charlie.
back. For this poor woman, it's a sign that
says, I want your sex.
Charlie just quietly, just like
Clint did, takes the sign off the back,
crushes the piece of paper up. And
like any good Clint Eastwood movie, we're
just walking out of door while the credits roll.
I do appreciate that. It's fun. I like that.
But that is the end of this movie.
That is the end of the rookie directed by Clint
Eastwood and co-starring Charlie Sheen
Go around the Horn here. Final Thoughts, Steve
Sadek. Yeah, I think this is a light
recommend for me.
Could have been a little tighter. It's a little
insane. It's, it's kind of, like I said, it's, it is kind of a McGarnacle slash McBain movie come
to life, like with real live action actors. Like, it's, it's so bonkers in that, like, it had
no, it's so interesting when like, you know, like, obviously lethal weapons huge. All these
buddy cop movies are huge. And like, people were trying to buck the trend. And what if,
and Clint is like, what if we didn't buck the trend? What if we just did it again? And that's
kind of all it is.
It's it again.
So your mileage may vary.
Charlie Sheen Go and Ape should burn down that bar.
Did put it to the late recommend territory for me.
Eric Siska.
Yeah.
Big recommend.
I don't think Charlie Sheen's goodness.
I mean,
I think one of those themes we're seeing throughout this sheen pro is we're not the biggest
fans of him as an actor.
But it's a big recommend mostly for the action and the stunts.
And the police stuff is so stupid.
And it kind of makes it like double.
entertaining for me. So big
recommend for me. Yeah,
I'll hop in and say, big recommend
for me, man. This is the first time
that I had ever seen this movie. I had a ball with it.
I do think it
fails to end appropriately.
It really just kind of drags on.
You expect, like, the gag
of Clint, like, passing out,
you know, onto Charlie's arm
at the airport there at the end.
To be the end of the movie. Sure, that makes
sense. Boy, we're totally, we got
banged up on this job. End of case.
end of movie. I did not need
the end of that shit there. So that
kind of points off for that points off
for the complete
misfire Eastwood's call
with the fucking music for that biker bar
he's just absolutely not.
Absolutely not. It's ridiculous.
It's laughable. It's the fucking fake baby
from American Siper. It doesn't
fit and everybody notices.
So the dude is just a stubborn
son of a gunman but big recommend for
me. Chris Cabin, final word.
Oh yeah. You got to see it.
It's, it's, I do think it is exactly that.
Like, it's, he made this in the middle of making, we, I was talking with you guys before.
He makes two masterpieces before this and three after.
And right in the middle is this ridiculous movie.
And, uh, I, I think it was just him being like, well, what's trendy right now?
What, what do they like right now?
I'm trying to fund this Kevin Costner picture, okay?
And that's like, that's fine by me.
It works for the most part.
Charlie Sheen is not particularly good, but, you know, I like his presence and he is very energetic in the last hour or so.
So I can't complain too much.
Yeah, I enjoyed myself quite a bit.
Yeah, sort of like, I don't know, C plus B minus Charlie performance.
The bar burning freakout scene is the best he's got here.
But that's going to do it for this episode on The Rookie.
