How hilariously inept is Raul Julia’s car thief mastermind? How incredible is the opening car carrier chase sequence? How great is this cast full of real-deal character actors? Did Sheen’s character really need to drive that motorcycle through the door? Couldn’t we get a little more Tom Skerritt and a lot more Lara Flynn Boyle? And what are the odds this movie was a re-worked “one last case” Dirty Harry film?  The Rookie stars Clint Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle, Pepe Serna, Marco Rodríguez, Xander Berkeley, Tony Plana, Paul Ben-Victor, and Tom Skerritt as Eugene Ackerman; directed by Clint Eastwood.

Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:11 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.
Starting point is 00:01:26 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
Starting point is 00:01:35 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
Starting point is 00:01:42 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
Starting point is 00:01:49 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,
Starting point is 00:02:02 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.
Starting point is 00:02:23 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?
Starting point is 00:02:58 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
Starting point is 00:03:14 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
Starting point is 00:03:37 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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
Starting point is 00:04:19 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.
Starting point is 00:04:32 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.
Starting point is 00:04:46 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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,
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:47 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
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:39 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.
Starting point is 00:06:55 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:26 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:11 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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
Starting point is 00:11:12 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.
Starting point is 00:11:55 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 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
Starting point is 00:12:20 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:14:03 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
Starting point is 00:14:19 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
Starting point is 00:14:35 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.
Starting point is 00:14:58 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
Starting point is 00:15:22 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.
Starting point is 00:15:38 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
Starting point is 00:15:58 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
Starting point is 00:16:14 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
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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.
Starting point is 00:17:03 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
Starting point is 00:17:22 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
Starting point is 00:17:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:35 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.
Starting point is 00:18:53 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:35 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?
Starting point is 00:19:54 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 More on. Awful. But we should mention Clint East were driving into the car to stop this from happening
Starting point is 00:20:23 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
Starting point is 00:20:32 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
Starting point is 00:20:43 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.
Starting point is 00:20:57 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
Starting point is 00:21:13 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
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:22:05 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
Starting point is 00:22:17 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
Starting point is 00:22:31 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
Starting point is 00:22:44 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
Starting point is 00:23:00 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:02 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.
Starting point is 00:24:22 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.
Starting point is 00:24:40 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
Starting point is 00:25:25 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
Starting point is 00:26:04 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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,
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:27 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?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Yeah. He could be fucking, what's that, Stretch Armstrong. Yeah, he gets stretched Armstrong stuff if he's pushed to the edge. Well,
Starting point is 00:27:51 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.
Starting point is 00:28:01 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
Starting point is 00:28:34 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.
Starting point is 00:28:58 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.
Starting point is 00:29:21 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.
Starting point is 00:29:39 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
Starting point is 00:30:09 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
Starting point is 00:30:26 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.
Starting point is 00:30:43 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,
Starting point is 00:30:51 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?
Starting point is 00:31:04 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.
Starting point is 00:31:22 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
Starting point is 00:31:57 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
Starting point is 00:32:15 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.
Starting point is 00:32:31 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.
Starting point is 00:32:50 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
Starting point is 00:33:21 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
Starting point is 00:33:36 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
Starting point is 00:33:45 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
Starting point is 00:33:54 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
Starting point is 00:34:06 Cratchity Desert Storm vet. Oh, really? Oh, on the beach. Oh, wow. That's awesome. Good for him. That was his best role. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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.
Starting point is 00:34:26 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
Starting point is 00:34:37 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
Starting point is 00:34:43 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
Starting point is 00:34:51 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
Starting point is 00:35:01 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,
Starting point is 00:35:36 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:01 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.
Starting point is 00:36:23 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?
Starting point is 00:36:40 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.
Starting point is 00:36:53 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
Starting point is 00:37:08 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
Starting point is 00:37:25 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
Starting point is 00:37:42 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?
Starting point is 00:38:07 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.
Starting point is 00:38:28 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.
Starting point is 00:38:48 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.
Starting point is 00:39:04 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.
Starting point is 00:39:23 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.
Starting point is 00:39:39 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
Starting point is 00:39:52 soon enough everything looks to give it everything looks exactly like fucking oh man
Starting point is 00:39:58 Senator Kelly from the first X-Men movie it's just like oh yeah yeah that's the guy sliding through
Starting point is 00:40:07 fucking steel bars Bruce Davison yes thank you hurt my head oh like that's what it's like shitting when you get older
Starting point is 00:40:15 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.
Starting point is 00:40:29 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
Starting point is 00:40:49 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?
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:14 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
Starting point is 00:41:29 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
Starting point is 00:41:47 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.
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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...
Starting point is 00:42:30 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,
Starting point is 00:42:45 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?
Starting point is 00:43:07 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
Starting point is 00:43:30 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?
Starting point is 00:43:46 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:49 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?
Starting point is 00:45:10 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,
Starting point is 00:45:36 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.
Starting point is 00:45:56 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.
Starting point is 00:46:23 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.
Starting point is 00:46:41 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.
Starting point is 00:47:02 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.
Starting point is 00:47:23 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.
Starting point is 00:47:39 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
Starting point is 00:47:52 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
Starting point is 00:48:07 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?
Starting point is 00:48:22 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.
Starting point is 00:48:37 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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
Starting point is 00:49:07 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
Starting point is 00:49:23 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
Starting point is 00:49:39 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,
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:12 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.
Starting point is 00:50:28 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
Starting point is 00:50:44 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
Starting point is 00:51:00 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
Starting point is 00:51:20 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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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
Starting point is 00:52:05 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,
Starting point is 00:52:24 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.
Starting point is 00:52:43 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
Starting point is 00:53:15 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
Starting point is 00:53:31 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.
Starting point is 00:53:48 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.
Starting point is 00:54:18 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
Starting point is 00:55:14 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
Starting point is 00:55:32 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.
Starting point is 00:55:49 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.
Starting point is 00:56:04 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
Starting point is 00:56:20 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
Starting point is 00:56:37 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.
Starting point is 00:56:54 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
Starting point is 00:57:12 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
Starting point is 00:57:28 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.
Starting point is 00:57:44 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
Starting point is 00:58:02 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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,
Starting point is 00:58:38 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.
Starting point is 00:58:53 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?
Starting point is 00:59:10 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
Starting point is 00:59:40 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
Starting point is 01:00:10 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
Starting point is 01:00:26 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
Starting point is 01:01:04 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
Starting point is 01:01:20 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.
Starting point is 01:01:36 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,
Starting point is 01:02:03 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.
Starting point is 01:02:20 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
Starting point is 01:02:33 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
Starting point is 01:02:46 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.
Starting point is 01:03:01 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.
Starting point is 01:03:38 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.
Starting point is 01:03:53 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
Starting point is 01:04:39 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
Starting point is 01:05:09 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.
Starting point is 01:05:25 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.
Starting point is 01:05:59 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
Starting point is 01:06:52 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.
Starting point is 01:07:12 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?
Starting point is 01:07:33 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.
Starting point is 01:07:48 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.
Starting point is 01:08:03 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.
Starting point is 01:08:26 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?
Starting point is 01:08:45 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.
Starting point is 01:08:56 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.
Starting point is 01:09:16 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
Starting point is 01:09:36 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.
Starting point is 01:10:00 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.
Starting point is 01:10:14 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.
Starting point is 01:10:32 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.
Starting point is 01:10:40 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.
Starting point is 01:10:54 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.
Starting point is 01:11:07 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.
Starting point is 01:11:19 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
Starting point is 01:11:51 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.
Starting point is 01:12:09 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.
Starting point is 01:12:34 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.
Starting point is 01:12:53 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,
Starting point is 01:13:07 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,
Starting point is 01:13:21 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
Starting point is 01:13:37 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
Starting point is 01:13:54 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
Starting point is 01:14:12 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
Starting point is 01:14:31 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
Starting point is 01:14:49 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
Starting point is 01:15:05 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
Starting point is 01:15:16 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.
Starting point is 01:15:26 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.
Starting point is 01:15:41 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?
Starting point is 01:15:59 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
Starting point is 01:16:13 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.
Starting point is 01:16:36 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
Starting point is 01:17:02 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,
Starting point is 01:17:25 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,
Starting point is 01:17:41 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
Starting point is 01:18:08 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.
Starting point is 01:18:30 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
Starting point is 01:18:54 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
Starting point is 01:19:12 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.
Starting point is 01:19:33 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.
Starting point is 01:19:55 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.
Starting point is 01:20:18 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.
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:20:52 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.
Starting point is 01:21:05 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
Starting point is 01:21:25 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.
Starting point is 01:21:57 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.
Starting point is 01:22:16 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.
Starting point is 01:22:39 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.
Starting point is 01:22:54 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.
Starting point is 01:23:09 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
Starting point is 01:23:29 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.
Starting point is 01:23:49 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.
Starting point is 01:24:11 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,
Starting point is 01:24:27 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.
Starting point is 01:24:45 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.
Starting point is 01:25:05 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
Starting point is 01:25:38 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.
Starting point is 01:25:54 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.
Starting point is 01:26:19 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.
Starting point is 01:26:48 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,
Starting point is 01:27:05 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
Starting point is 01:27:21 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
Starting point is 01:27:35 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
Starting point is 01:28:19 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.
Starting point is 01:28:37 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.
Starting point is 01:28:55 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,
Starting point is 01:29:08 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,
Starting point is 01:29:19 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
Starting point is 01:29:33 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
Starting point is 01:29:53 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
Starting point is 01:30:22 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
Starting point is 01:30:45 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?
Starting point is 01:31:01 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.
Starting point is 01:31:14 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.
Starting point is 01:31:33 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.
Starting point is 01:31:45 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.
Starting point is 01:31:54 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
Starting point is 01:32:05 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
Starting point is 01:32:21 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
Starting point is 01:32:38 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
Starting point is 01:32:55 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
Starting point is 01:33:23 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
Starting point is 01:33:45 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.
Starting point is 01:34:01 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.
Starting point is 01:34:20 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
Starting point is 01:34:39 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
Starting point is 01:34:55 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
Starting point is 01:35:12 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
Starting point is 01:35:30 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.
Starting point is 01:35:46 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.
Starting point is 01:36:03 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
Starting point is 01:36:38 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
Starting point is 01:36:53 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
Starting point is 01:37:23 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
Starting point is 01:37:43 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
Starting point is 01:37:59 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
Starting point is 01:38:13 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
Starting point is 01:38:26 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
Starting point is 01:38:42 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
Starting point is 01:38:59 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,
Starting point is 01:39:35 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.
Starting point is 01:39:53 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.
Starting point is 01:40:12 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.
Starting point is 01:40:35 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.
Starting point is 01:40:55 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.
Starting point is 01:41:16 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
Starting point is 01:41:39 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
Starting point is 01:41:55 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.
Starting point is 01:42:46 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.
Starting point is 01:43:07 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.
Starting point is 01:43:22 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
Starting point is 01:43:39 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
Starting point is 01:43:55 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.
Starting point is 01:44:09 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.
Starting point is 01:44:19 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.
Starting point is 01:44:30 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.
Starting point is 01:44:50 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.
Starting point is 01:45:14 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,
Starting point is 01:45:29 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,
Starting point is 01:45:47 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.
Starting point is 01:46:13 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,
Starting point is 01:46:33 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.
Starting point is 01:47:03 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.
Starting point is 01:47:16 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
Starting point is 01:48:09 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,
Starting point is 01:48:53 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
Starting point is 01:49:09 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.
Starting point is 01:49:27 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?
Starting point is 01:49:52 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
Starting point is 01:50:09 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
Starting point is 01:50:25 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.
Starting point is 01:50:41 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
Starting point is 01:51:04 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.
Starting point is 01:51:34 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?
Starting point is 01:51:52 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,
Starting point is 01:52:31 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.
Starting point is 01:52:44 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.
Starting point is 01:53:01 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.
Starting point is 01:53:11 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
Starting point is 01:53:29 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
Starting point is 01:53:43 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
Starting point is 01:54:03 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
Starting point is 01:54:39 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
Starting point is 01:55:03 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
Starting point is 01:55:19 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.
Starting point is 01:55:35 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
Starting point is 01:55:51 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.
Starting point is 01:56:24 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
Starting point is 01:56:39 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
Starting point is 01:56:56 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.
Starting point is 01:57:12 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
Starting point is 01:57:28 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
Starting point is 01:57:44 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?
Starting point is 01:58:09 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.
Starting point is 01:58:37 But that's going to do it for this episode on The Rookie.
