Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you. Hello, I'm Steve and Say That. I'm Andrew Jopin. Chris Cabin. And we are, we hate movies. Are you guys doing tonight? We like V-NAC T-shirts, I'll tell you that much. Are we wearing the same shirt by the day?
Starting point is 00:00:47 It's pretty damn close. That's embarrassing. You're showing him when we're a chess fund. Yeah, you got more of the V-NAC going. It goes all the way down to the love trail, man. The garden. Wait, wait, wait, what? It does what? It goes all the way down.
Starting point is 00:01:00 on the love trail and gave my cubic hair. Oh, I'm specifically talking about my cubic hair. I did you do that often. I'm not ignoring everybody, I'm setting my phones so I won't go off so I can have my notes ready. I'm good. This evening's film in discussion, 1993's cliffhanger,
Starting point is 00:01:18 directed by Rennie Harlan, starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael Rooker. Who else we got this movie? John Lithgow, being a creep. Oh, being a creep. Yeah, being a creep. Peter Creed, I was like...
Starting point is 00:01:31 Yeah, Peter Creed, I don't know. It's not a person. I mean, it might be a person. He's not in this movie. Maybe he's the namesake for the band Creed. Oh, the Scott Stapp. Oh, of course. Is that the band? Yeah, Scott Stap is creed.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Aaron Lewis is abstained. Just to keep those separate. You want to keep in separate buckets at all times. Leon is in this film, not Jean Reno, but the guy who is in one of the Madonna videos. He's a rapper to. or tried to be? He tried to be a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:02:02 He tried to be in Cliffhanger. That didn't work out. Yeah. Well, he was in Cliffhanger. He tried to be an actor in Cliffhanger. We got a real UN situation with these, like, mountain mics. It's a real... You do.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I do. It's true, too. I'm playing fast and loose. You guys are addressing some sort of world issue. You have you today to discuss cliffhanger. It's atrocities presented upon the cinematic world. in the magic world? Rennie Harlan is the director noted to make the worst diehard movie before 9-11.
Starting point is 00:02:36 And then after it, everything got a little less. I would argue that that die-hard presents cybercrimes movie is kind of okay. A good day to die hard is one of the worst things. It is reprehensible. Like, Jay Courtney trying to be Bruce Willis, please, just don't. Is it Jay or Jai? I don't know. It doesn't matter. He's not known one of those sword and sandals programs.
Starting point is 00:03:01 He's also, he's... That's what everybody calls them. They're like, the latest sword and sandal thriller. What? That means you're in the desert. You're fighting things. Like a Sparticus. Oh, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:15 That's not really the desert, but that's a sword and sandal thriller. You know I've been seeing a lot this year that I don't like? Comic Book Actioneer. You can keep that shit. Like Iron Man 3 is a comic book Actioneer? Actioneer. It's a comic book. movie. Let's just fucking, let's just fucking...
Starting point is 00:03:29 This is, what, a rock climbing action year? It's an action year set in the rock climbing industry. Now with 40% more belaying action. I have a really important thing that I want to address right up front.
Starting point is 00:03:47 This movie's rolling along and it's like beautiful music and who cares. And it's a cliffhanger. Directed by Rennie Harlan. Sylvester Stallone. John Lithgow. all these people going through, right? And then it gets to
Starting point is 00:04:01 a special appearance by Paul Winfield. Who the fuck cares? He did the voice of Lucius Sweet on The Simpsons. He's in Star Trek Rathacon, but it's like he's in it just as much as anybody else. He does nothing in the movie. He has three scenes, and one of them's just him
Starting point is 00:04:22 yelling at somebody in a helicopter. I mean, that means he's got a damn good agent. No, no, no, no, no. It's a special appearance. But you don't do anything. There's nothing special about your appearance. It's a special appearance. Oh, oh, really.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Oh, Winfield. Hey, con. Who's con? He's dead. I shouldn't do that. Is he dead? This is not good. Yeah, right on, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Thanks. We'll see. We'll see what happens. So, this movie opens with everybody's in a helicopter, the woman from Northern Exposure, whatever her name is. God damn it, that's who she was. He was killing me.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah, and some old Zach Kraft is flying a helicopter, and they're like the rescue team. Apparently Michael Rooker got up to no good last night, and him and his lady tried to climb a rock unsupervised. Well, no, I think it's a thing where Rooker's kind of in with this lady, and he's like, hey, want to come up here, I'll show you how to rock. And she's like, well, you know, you were inside me last night, so it's the least I can do.
Starting point is 00:05:29 But she's untrained. It's very important. She's an untrained, unskilled rock climist. She's a novice, and you're starting her out on Widow's Peak. I don't get it. That's a real telltale sign. You probably shouldn't be starting out on that mountain. And, you know, they get up there, they're like, oh, because Rooker's part of the gang.
Starting point is 00:05:47 You know what I mean? So, everyone, Stallone gets up, just like, oh, you shouldn't. Like, it's a lot of, like, they frontload of banter so much to make sure everybody's friends. I just like, oh, I remember that that, I'm like, that friend, or whatever. My voice just dropped out. What was that?
Starting point is 00:06:02 I just lost my boy. An angel came in and went, whoo. That's what just happened. Well, it's almost too close. Like, the whole, like, the thing in the beginning because the pilot, the dead meat, dead meat pilot.
Starting point is 00:06:20 The old bastard. This bastard, Michael Rooker. He looks like Seymour Cassell. He does look like Seymour Cassell. It's not, unfortunately. I would bring this movie up a little bit. It would be great if he'd watch him die. Let's not get nuts.
Starting point is 00:06:31 But Michael Rooker and Sarah, who is his lady friend, they're just talking about how they had this wild night in this like hotel room somewhere. And the helicopter pilot's like, I don't know what they're talking about. You think this was a stoned idea, went wrong? You think that's what it is? It's like 6 o'clock in the morning.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Instead of going to a diner, they went rock climbing. Oh, man, you know what I would love to do right now? What, pancakes? No, hear me out. It's a terrible idea. You're probably right. They're just listening to John Denver, rockin' out and I, you know what, I got an idea. Thank you, Mr. Denver.
Starting point is 00:07:12 They call him like rock jock, and she's like, I'd recognize that butt anyway. From a fucking helicopter, you recognize that butt. Stop it. And still, I was like, All right, we're going to get you out of it. It's going to be super simple. worry about it. This guy over here pulled his leg
Starting point is 00:07:28 and, like, Rickon Rooker's like, ha, ha, ha, ha. And, like, we're basically we're just going to go across one peak to the next, put a big old fucking cable, and we're going to slide him across. And, like, Michael Rooker still being a dick. Like, imagine going on a date with somebody, and you're a novice rock climber.
Starting point is 00:07:44 This guy fucking says, don't worry, everything's going to be fine, and a helicopter has to rescue you. I'm never going to see Michael Rooker again. Absolutely not. I mean, he's a one and done date, though, Michael Rooker, just in general. I think. I think in most situations,
Starting point is 00:07:58 Michael Rooker's one in death. I love Michael Rooker. Sure. But I wouldn't go out to dinner with Michael Rooker more than one time. He's received quite a lot of fake numbers, I feel. Because he's probably going to stick you with the bill. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Especially the bar tab. He keeps talking about the walking dead money that's supposedly supposed to show up. It doesn't. Look, I promise they're going to figure out a way to get me in the four of the season. I'm not being a ghost. Spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I'm not being a ghost. It's fine. Show them that. There's more than Michael Roker, thank God. So he gets on, and he's like kind of being a dick, like your dad shaking the Ferris wheel. He's like, oh, no, it's a mistake. He's like, no, I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:08:41 And he goes across fine. And they're like, all right, Sarah. You're just going to get on here. It's going to be totally fine. Don't worry. You keep looking at me. Why don't look at your meat face while I'm doing this? No, I would rather look at the ground.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Absolutely. It's like, it's either look down at my death or look at the... Yeah, it's gonna be fine. And then you can't look, if she's like back, you know, there's Michael Rooker like, shaking the road. I mean, this woman's fucked. Anyway, she goes.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Don't worry, I have all the technical expertise needed to do this. I tied these knots. I did the equation myself. Just keep looking at my dead eyes. Sarah, what you need to understand about rock climbing? It's like 10% muscle, 90% of arithmetic.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I'm sure that. Everything you need to know to get from this peak to that helicopter to save me. So she gets on and of course she's going to die. It's the beginning of an action movie.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Something bad's going to happen. And the music is really pleasant at first and gets really fucking tense once he loops her up. So it's like, uh-oh. Well, because Mr. Mittens dies first. She has a stuffed animal. And you watch.
Starting point is 00:09:54 the stuffed animal plummet to its death in the Rocky Mountains. I think that's where Ace Ventura when Major Call's got the idea for the raccoon parody. That parody scene is more famous than this movie. So her shit starts breaking
Starting point is 00:10:10 and Michael Rooker's like, don't worry, the lines, like, there's something about, like, he doesn't want Sylvester Stallone to go out and get her. He's like, no, they can't hold two people, sly. Or no, his name is Gabe. Like, he's Gabe fucking Kaplan. Sylvester Stallone. Figure that shit.
Starting point is 00:10:24 out. I promise Mr. Cottonale. I'm just gonna get over to the helicopter fire. That wasn't how Gabe Kaplan sounded on that show. That was John Travolta. He was all like, wah! That's my Gabe Kaplan. Your Dave Kaplan is suspiciously close to your penguin.
Starting point is 00:10:41 But it's all totally... I think he's dead, too. No, Gabe Kaplan's not dead. No, he's doing poker shows. Who's dead? He might as well be dead. Horshack's dead, I think. Oh, Horshack passed away.
Starting point is 00:10:51 You know, non-cocaine-related incident. so she's trying to not die and Sylvester Stallone like hooks himself onto this thing and he's going across and Michael Rooker's like, no, just tell her to go back! And he's like, no, this would be even better. And he goes out there, like, come on,
Starting point is 00:11:12 let's, she fucking falls. Like it's the all, like, he's holding her. He's got her glove. He's falling. Yeah. Poor mittens really working over time. And she just dies. And Michael Rooker gives one of the best I fucking hate you
Starting point is 00:11:28 forever looks you've ever seen in a movie it's like instant enemies because they were best buds five minutes ago they were best buds and he knew that chick for 23 hours well he's just like oh fuck I'm going to jail I hate your goods
Starting point is 00:11:43 like no you are probably going to go to jail and then we go eight months later and Sylvester Stallone is having all these man feelings because he killed this woman and he's like driving around I think those are probably just feelings. No, there's... When you leave town because you're so distraught about shit, that's man feelings.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Like, you get a farm somewhere, you start splitting wood. So there's never been a lady who's, like, bummed down about being responsible for someone's dead and leaves town. It's strictly a dude thing. It's strictly a man feeling. Okay. I think it's the brooding that does it really. Yeah, it's...
Starting point is 00:12:20 The silent brooding is what you're... Wayne brooding. Yeah, exactly. Like him? Batman? Yeah, I know what Batman is. His face just went dead and I have no idea what was wrong with what I said to it. Well, I thought you were talking about because
Starting point is 00:12:36 later in this movie there is a Bruce Wayne moment. There's a couple of Bruce Wayne. We'll get to it. Point out your Bruce Wayne. They might be the same one. So he's driving without music because he's having man feelings. He's driving in the town. And he's just like, oh man, I can't believe I did this. So he shows up to his girlfriend
Starting point is 00:12:52 House, North Exposure Woman. It's like, I know I've been gone for eight months and I never said anything, but do you want to come with me to Denver? And she's like, fuck you, where have you been? You didn't call? We've got this horse farm. What? Not even a hello.
Starting point is 00:13:10 It's like a club in one hand, like you ready or what? I've been tending to rattles every day. I've never tended to a horse before. Again, regular feelings, you say, hey, look, babe, I've got out of town, things are too heavy. Man, feelings, you get the fuck out of town.
Starting point is 00:13:26 You don't tell anybody about anything. I don't mind taking care of those horses. I left 20 bucks for horse food for eight bucks. I just didn't take care of it. He just, he tapes a note to the horse take care. A 20 bucks won't supplement people
Starting point is 00:13:44 food, so maybe the horse can become people food. If the horse runs out of horse food. Yeah, I did the arithmetic. she'll understand so basically he's like she's like oh you're back I'm just trying to pick you up and if not I'll pick up my stuff
Starting point is 00:14:01 he's got a plan B that he switches to immediately he's like I'm not going to go with you like can I get my guitar he's probably got an acoustic guitar yeah exactly it's right next to a stack of country music tapes that he's been learning
Starting point is 00:14:18 how to play do you have my Raiders jersey of the horses wearing it by the way when he's rolling into the town there's a couple of dudes that roll up and these are what we classify in the show is classic dead meat characters oh most definitely they're just like two like oh hey slaw where you've been they're like the kids from Mark Hamill's summer school
Starting point is 00:14:44 yes it looks exactly like the horse yeah and the other one and they're wearing all sorts of neon and they're like, game, we haven't scaled a rock in a while what happened? What's the mountain dew? And he's just like, yeah, I haven't because I killed someone you guys heard of that he fell off of a helicopter.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Oh man, that was you, gay, walt. I got like a pretty good outline for a novel because I'm having man feelings on my ranch. Quick question, chainsaw and boner. How many chapters do you think is acceptable for romantic yet adventurous rockcloth? If the answer is three, you get the free copy. I think I might end it with a clue. So, we intercut this with...
Starting point is 00:15:49 What's his favorite? We're the National Treasury in, like, Denver or something like that? Yeah, we're the lucky Denver Mint. That's where they're coming from. And we start our special appearance by Paul Winfield. Everyone applauds.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Woo! It's Paul Winfield! Kindly. They're sitting there, just tapping my fucking picture and we go to Paul Winfield, special appearance. And my, everybody's favorite character is a man named Travers. Oh, yeah. He kind of looks like.
Starting point is 00:16:19 major dad if he had a fucking hangover? He looks like a... I mean, yes. But people might not remember me with that. Isn't everybody 40? He looks exactly like television's Dr. Phil. Yeah, oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 More apt reference, for sure. Television and print media stuff. And he's a fucking surly motherfucker, isn't he? Yeah, he's... There's like a couple of YouTube reels of like him using God damn and fuck
Starting point is 00:16:50 and then just edit together every single one. Oh, it's a treasure. And he's the guy on the inside. So basically we're going up and doing a plane. We're taking three suitcases full of $1,000 bills. Totaling $100 million. And we're going to fly them
Starting point is 00:17:10 from the Denver Mint to something. It doesn't really matter. They're not getting it. It's not going to get there, of course, at the point. But it's one of those. like, hey Travers, here's this new hot up-and-comer who's going to come with you. Do you mind? And in the greatest fitting act of acting ever, this guy is like, no. I suppose that's okay. And the pro-Winfield's like, well, good, it should be.
Starting point is 00:17:36 So they take off in this plane, and it says, dude Travers, a couple of other agents, and this new guy, and then two pilots flying this thing. And the guy starts saying something about like, oh, there's a plane there, And it's like, it's like an armored car of the skies as the situation. As best the movie explains it to you. And it's a lot of like, boy, sure hope we don't get robbed, don't, you. And they see like an incoming plane. This new guy is like, well, say, that looks like it's coming awfully close.
Starting point is 00:18:07 And Travers is like, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's not a robber. I'm not an inside Aten at all. And then little fingers on there, who is Bain? I like quite in that actually because this sequence is totally from Dark Night Rising and it is. Well, it also
Starting point is 00:18:24 laid the ground for the Eraser Airborne Massacre scene Oh, you're right! And Air Force One, I feel. Someone has some splaining to do. So basically, would you... Whether it be Christopher Nolan or the fellow who directed Eraser. Who knows who that is?
Starting point is 00:18:40 I don't know. That guy's dead anyway. They're all dead. General assumption. You don't know what they're. They've been up to in the past 10 years. They must be dead. They're Hollywood dead.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So, like, the guys are like, oh, I think we're getting robbed. And Travers is like, God damn, right? We already blows everybody to shit. And then, like, the pilot's like, and now we're all in on it. You've opened the cargo door. We're connecting a rope to one plane to the other, and we're fucking moving these million-dollar fucking suitcases. They're, like, real suitcase.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, it's not just, like, going to work. It's like a real... This is a suitcase. It's a suitcase for the government. There's a biological weapon in the suitcase. It's so much of a suitcase you wouldn't even want to put a suit in. You know what I mean? You'd feel like you'd be wasting it by putting a suit inside.
Starting point is 00:19:30 It's a suitcase and the other end. That's just a waste. And, you know... I thought you had something. I was like, all right. That's on me. Okay. So basically what happens is the guy that...
Starting point is 00:19:45 One of the guys wakes up and, like, shoots everybody, and, like, it fucks up the whole thing, and all these suitcases fall down in between the two planes on the Rocky Mountains, and, like, oh, my God, how do we get him? And John Lithgow, by the way, is the super terrorist on the other plane, and he is none too pleased about this development. His none too pleased, and because of this, his English accent just starts going wild.
Starting point is 00:20:11 I don't know what this thing is supposed to be. It's kind of Sherlock Holmes. It's like a Sherlock Holmes with a Hans Gruber. That's a lot of Hans Gruber going into this thing, I feel. Yeah, there is. Yeah, I feel like, and he's just barking at everybody. Like, oh, he pushes somebody right out the plane just because they got nicked in the knee or something. Well, this whole sequence is fantastic, because we have our good friend Travers, who goes across first.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And John Lithgow is just like, well, say now, why didn't you bring the suitcases first? And he's like, well, I don't know. I'm Travers. I'm terrible at this. Nope. Travers is the only one who has his number because he's like, you would have shot me if I came by second. Right. Also, by the way, this is an early 90s super thriller, so these suitcases
Starting point is 00:20:56 all have codes to them. Of course, yeah. And a tracking device. It's something. Oh, these codes change 50,000 times every 13 minutes or something impossible. Yeah, Dr. Phil knows everything right up here. And he's like, well, I got the fucking codes. If you need them, you're going to need me.
Starting point is 00:21:12 If I'm going to go into super crime, right? I want to trust who I'm with. I don't want to have these moments where I'm like, well, he's just going to blow my brains out. Then I'm not going to do the fucking thing. Now, here's a quick side development, though, that would make Travers completely unneeded,
Starting point is 00:21:28 is that when these planes fall, or these suitcases fall from the plane, one of them, two of them, break open on impact, and Sylvester Stallone cracks open another one with a rock. So I don't know what you need the fucking codes for. If a man can go, eh, yeah, and it opens, like, whatever. Maybe it's, like, one of those suitcases from Blade where you have to, like, bleed into it for it to open. Oh, that might be one.
Starting point is 00:21:54 That might be it. Yeah, maybe that's why he has the rock. He just crushes his hand. And does it, like, the sharper image. Yeah, or Brookstone. Brookstone, probably, is. Yeah, but you got to, you know. If anyone's going to carry blood-activated devices,
Starting point is 00:22:07 Brookstone. Fucking crooks. So, I mean, basically, he's like, all right, let's go down and get these fucking suitcases. Like, we'll pull off the side of the road and see where we lost our map, essentially, what this is. And they have a very smart move, though. They call for help because their plane crashes,
Starting point is 00:22:27 because they got all shut up by this other guy. Right, so they don't know how to navigate the mountains. They're up pretty high, so there's snow at this point and all sorts of shit. So they radio for help so that these guys will come and help them, and then they'll kill them. That's the general idea. So they radio. in, you know, we need help, who knows how to get up here.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And of course, of course, there's a storm coming. Of course, yeah. We can't do this on a nice day. There's got to be a fucking storm rolling in. I mean, just do your checklist, right? It's Sylvester Stallone's day off, check. Somebody's already been dead and he's got grief check.
Starting point is 00:22:59 There's a storm coming in, check. You got Michael Rooker, that's a half check. He specifically doesn't want to return to work. Correct. So, Sylvester Stallone is not going to go back on the mountain, and they're like, well, listen, you're the best guy. we had. You've got to come out, help Michael Rooker, and he's like, well, he hates
Starting point is 00:23:17 my fucking guts. It would be an awkward time, that's because shit. I'm like, well, you know, awkwardness aside, there's some people trapped. It's our job to help them. And, you know, you once fought on the side of good, your lazy prick, and once you come up. Yeah, but I got this album that I've been writing.
Starting point is 00:23:34 It's like, I'm almost done with it, really. It's also called Clivehank. So he agrees to go. And he meets Michael Rooker on the rock And you know, Michael was like God damn, but why are you up here? You know, you fucking killed my girlfriend
Starting point is 00:23:49 And he never goes around And he was like, I'm not the one that Ted Kennedy this chick, pal, all right? You know what? This one was your responsibility And I was just the guy that tried to save her as best I could. I don't do well in snow.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Oh no, the car's going out of control this girl's going to die in a lake. Uh-oh, the cause is the problem. I am a fantastic swimmer. He's dead too. Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, let's just rack them up. So they're climbing up, and they're not going to settle their differences,
Starting point is 00:24:29 and Michael Rooker's okay with that because he doesn't want to, and Sylvester Stallone's like, well, it'll be inspiration for my album, so it's fine. And so they just start scaling this thing, and they reach John Lithgow and the rest of the character. and the rest of the care bears. Hello! And he's got this gun, and they're like, oh, fuck. And the idea is like,
Starting point is 00:24:47 you're going to go fetch my millions. I'm going to sit here, while you fetch my millions. And it's just very intense. It's very intense. It's quite intense. There's a thing where he keeps on referring to dog things with him.
Starting point is 00:25:00 He's like, put that puppy on a leash. And it's other than the fetch, and then he's like, oh, like, well, he doesn't make any kibble and bits jokes, but... It reminded me of, what's that Bob Hoskin? and Jet Lee moving where he's like
Starting point is 00:25:14 Unleashed is the film where Bob Hoskins is just like this fat frame and he's like Daddy's a dog get my dog that's what this is like he thinks Asian people are dogs
Starting point is 00:25:26 which is just totally wrong thanks for pointing to love I wanted to I didn't want to say what out there was confused I didn't want to leave that to chance but you know what's good about it is that blind Morgan Freeman
Starting point is 00:25:37 doesn't have a problem with it yeah that's where That's where I would have remembered Unleashed. So basically, Travers not only has a mustache, but a PKEe meter. And it's like, I can see where all these fucking, god damn fucking money is.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And he's like, so, everything he says is a curse word or a swear. Every time he started a scene, he stubbed his toe. And fucking, fuck. I got the money's up there. This guy is having the worst day. And it's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Well, it sucks because there are a lot of scenes what he's not in, and I imagine in every scene that he's not in, he's off-screen having a stroke. Travers, the camera isn't on you. No, I'm fucking honest. Shut the camera, fuck. So they get to the first peak, and he's like,
Starting point is 00:26:23 all right, Stallone, go up there by yourself, and when you get up there, you better bring down my monies. And we gets up there, and for whatever reason, John Let's Go has no reason to say this. It's like, we don't need two mountain climbers. When he returns, retire him. Retire, which is so great. And, like, Michael Rooker, of course, like,
Starting point is 00:26:41 come on, Sloan, they're going to fucking kill you. And he's like, oh, thanks for the tip. And he, you know, if I've got so much after all, perhaps when this is all over, will it have forgiven each other? That's kind of the funny underlying thing about this movie, is that this, they used to be great friends, he had this great relationship, everything was wrong. And this is kind of the best thing that could have happened in it.
Starting point is 00:27:03 It's a blessing. It's a fact. It's a stitch job. Right back up. And do you think, well, Do you think Stillow would want to make it a duo then, a folk duo for an album? Hey, Rooker, you know how to play the tambourine or what? You got a sit of pipes, I bet.
Starting point is 00:27:21 So what they do to, like, the insurance policy here is that Lifgau makes Michael Rooker tie a rope around Sly's leg. So it's basically like, well, if he tries to get away, I'll just tie on this road. It's more dastically. Twisting that mustache. for sure. So Stallone breaks open this suitcase and just throws all this fucking money off the cliff and he's like, well, son of a bitch! Kill
Starting point is 00:27:47 him! And so they're trying to tug him and this guy's like firing a shotgun and then avalanche happens. It's the biggest well no shit avalanche I've ever seen in a movie. And they're all standing there like, well what is happening? The mountain
Starting point is 00:28:03 is alive! And then one of the most impossible things in this movie, Sylvester Stallone leans up against the mountain like this and dodges the average and like all the snow and rocks and horror like fall down in front of him and then he's like
Starting point is 00:28:22 it's close right and a bunch of dudes go off in the process which is great there's a lot of awesome deaths I mean it's really Rambo on a mountain like it's 100% Rambo on a mountain or First Blood is on a mountain I should say that's the first film that's what that was.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Lost. Now you're just thinking about Rampos? Just lost in Rampo. I'm just thinking about my own, I had my own man feeling for a second. So at this point then, you realize what this movie is going to be, right? And it's a lot of like, we're going to run into a problem. There's going to be a bunch of gunfire.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Another fucking hoodlub is going to fall off the mountain. And then there's going to be these far away, like, beautiful Lord of the Rings-esque. shots of them walking on the top of a snowy cliff. Yeah. And that's what happens. In the meantime, we've got, our everybody's favorite
Starting point is 00:29:16 people back at the U.S. government, they realize something's happened. They are so far behind this movie. It's so far behind. You might as well be in the prequel to Clifford. They might as well be watching First Blood, you know, like at that point. So Paul Winfield's like, well, I got to get
Starting point is 00:29:34 a team together, we're going to go out there, we're going to figure out what's going on. So it's him Zach Grinier, who's a character actor but in a couple of different things. We're playing like a puny stuff shirt and almost everything.
Starting point is 00:29:47 He's a pencil pusher. And they... By the way, I don't know where they're having this conversation because it looks like it must be in an airport because they're just having this conversation in the middle of one of those middle walkways. Is it an airport?
Starting point is 00:29:57 It's the Denver International Airport. I thought it was the mint. And they just had those in there. No, no, no. They didn't have those in the middle. It's that big of an office. Nobody does their own walking at the Denver Mint. It's all unmoving
Starting point is 00:30:10 walkways. It's a great benefit. There's a great scene in this movie where it's like, when Sylvester realizes what's going on, his lady friend eventually gets up there to help out and everything. And they realize, the terrorists realize Sylvester Stallone is on to him. They think that he's
Starting point is 00:30:26 killed in the album. Yeah, they always do that. So, they reach the second suitcase that's just been broken open already. And they realize that someone's up here, it caused them in some trouble, because they come around this corner And there, Sylvester Stallone has made a snowman
Starting point is 00:30:41 and stuck all the money all over time. Well, it's so ridiculous because how did he have the time? You are running for your life. You're like, second to second shit. Yeah, you don't know what's going to happen. You know, it would be great. Fucking stove-air.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And she's like, do you think we should do too? I'm like, yeah, probably just war. But I like the way you think. But also, that really doesn't ruin the money. You could just pick them money out of there. There is no time to pick up the money with these people. I don't
Starting point is 00:31:12 understand. Yeah, I don't get it. If there was like $30 million hanging out of a snowman's bottom ball, I would take the time of thing, I would just stuff it in any fucking pocket I had. $1,000 bills. They're like, well, this one's clearly ruined. I hope that next suitcase hasn't broken open on this.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Just invest in some snow pants and fucking do it already. One of the greatest Traverse moments happens here, though, because he gets so goddamn fucking best. At this snowman, I've never seen someone punch a snowman in the face of the floor. This guy, like, right crosses this floor snowman, and lift down is just like, well, someone's getting frustrated. That's why John Lick has got an impression. It's a lot of that. We have it around that hair that's not there.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Just flowing in the wind, nothing. Just absolutely nothing. And we're picking off our super goons. One of them is kind of He's kind of like jammed gum. He's got these night vision goggles. Dude, I was just watching Silence of the Lans before we came over here. It's a better movie. That's a much better film. God damn right it is. We just got to that part too. You're helping with this couch? Is she a great big fat person? You a size 14?
Starting point is 00:32:27 No, you hurt my dog. So he's got these night vision goggles. And like, uh, Stallone puts a flare in there and he's like, He's like, Like, he doesn't know a vampire. Like, it's like, I understand that Night Vision goggles, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:42 make light much more intense. Not unlike that. And, uh, the, the flare makes him go, like, he's like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:32:48 it's like, eh. And they kind of get into this fist fight, and then an amazing thing happens. Sylvester Stallone starts sleigh riding on this man's body down in him.
Starting point is 00:33:03 And they're fighting, and he's like, it's like, they go, It's like that scene in Christmas vacation where checking chase raxes up that fucking tray, and he's going across the highway.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Look, he is riding this man like a looped up piece of wood to death. He's riding into death. There's one point where they flip over and now he's running. And they fight that way, losing no momentum the entire time,
Starting point is 00:33:31 by the way. That would actually, that's the one thing that would have made Batman begins better, is if Rosalgoole and Christian Bell doesn't riddy time. You're going to ride me to the bomb. So then
Starting point is 00:33:42 this dude shoots off this cliff, and Stallone kind of like puts his like pointy boot feet into the snow or whatever happened. Yeah, it's not like rock-climbing boots that have like spikes on them, which are pretty badass. They're pretty cool. Yeah, they are. Probably pretty helpful for ice rock climbing.
Starting point is 00:33:58 And murdering people. Surprisingly adopted that. And all the time his girlfriend's up there like, oh, I hope I don't get kidnapped eventually. eventually. Going home to a little damper on this weekend, this white weekend up here, at Widow's Peak. So that guy goes off and dies, and it's a great, like, Lithcow just looking like, well, there's another one.
Starting point is 00:34:20 I should have hired more people. Right from the bat, you realize that Lickout is not really the best boss in the world, right? Like he does not care about his employees, he doesn't care, who makes it, who doesn't, he just wants his millions of dollars. He just doesn't have an HR representative. And that's really what you want as a super criminal. Well, he's a weird kind of super criminal because they mentioned something about how, I guess because these are $1,000 bills, you can't use them anywhere.
Starting point is 00:34:49 They say it's a denomination you can't exchange them or whatever. But John Lithgow is such a powerful super criminal that he knows someone who will let him spend this money and turn it into diamonds or gold boons or whatever. More things you can't spend in a bodega? So what, like the Monopoly man? Yeah, because he's kind of just walking around with funny money. It's $100 million in fucking pink and blue bills.
Starting point is 00:35:20 I don't get finance. I don't think you need to get no finance to understand you can't use $1,000 bills. Okay, fair right. And so basically, at this point, it's really weird. This movie, the henchman, usually in the beginning, it's like, I've got Rocco here, and this one, and then you introduce them. But everyone kind of only makes their presence known after the last one dies.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And it's like, well, I'm not going to make the mistake. He is. And here's my character trait. So, Leon's people, they're kind of like, you know, respectful ninjas in that way, right? You always see in the movies like a dude, like Jackie Chan's got to fight off all these ninjas or gangsters or whatever, but they'll only go at Jackie one at a time.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah, sure. It's like they're only going to come at Stallone one at a time. So, you know, the next dude's on deck, like, all right, as soon as Hugo gets chucked off his mountain tower. I'm up. Is Leon next? Yeah, Leon's next.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Oh, sweet God. This movie's amazing. What we're not covering is 40 minutes of running around a mountain and trying to climb cliffs. I mean, who caves the shit, right? Yeah. Unless anyone's a, you know, rock climbing x-ray. We're not talking about the rock climbing.
Starting point is 00:36:33 What kind of belay is he using? What my $8 back? Stallone's in this cave, and he's got one of the suitcases, or he's on his way... No, he's got one of the suitcases, and Leon knows that he's in this cave, and John Luskos's like, blow the harrow cave! And he's like, well, I'm going to go there and try and kill him and get the money. And he's like, no, blow the
Starting point is 00:36:54 hell of cave! Which, not learning his lesson from the first time they crossed the avalancheous movie. It was only 20 minutes ago. Well, it's funny because you say, like, they're coming out to like ninjas. It is like that, except for they all have semi-automatic weapons, explosives, knives this big,
Starting point is 00:37:11 and they'll curse it up a blue streak, too. I've never known a ninja to do. This movie should be rated PG-13 except to the fucking potty mouth, man. It's just, it's nuts. But where would we be if we didn't have Travers' potty mouth? God damn fucking fuck shit.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Oh, shit. He was just walking around, like, the same demeanor, same, like, easily aggravated. Oh, shut. Stupid. Gosh, darn. Just like getting the fucking crazy. Christmas present for the kids?
Starting point is 00:37:37 Have you ever done a party at your friend's house when you're in high school and you break a face and the whole time and God damn, fuck, fuck! And you're like, well, it's not going to help. You know, it's broke. It's like, but my dad's coming back on Monday and it's like, I know, but fuck, fuck, fuck.
Starting point is 00:37:50 And it's like, just relax, man. I've never done that. Never done that? Solo experience then. It was in a nice face. It was a nice face. Peer one import. Someone's ashes in this face?
Starting point is 00:38:05 Was it that nice? It was not the film Meet the Parents. Oh, okay. That's good. So Leon's going to come down this cave and, like, Stallone's got it all ready for him. He's got some traps. He's got some traps. Well, I guess he tries to burrow out of it.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yeah, he's a great dog. They're climbing up this thing. He's like, I think you see the sky. I don't know. He burrows out. And Leon is standing there like, I got you, motherfucker! Oh, no! And he falls back down, and this dude, like, jumps down. And they have a big karate.
Starting point is 00:38:36 fight the little bit. He kicks the shit out of him. It's fantastic. It's really great. He really learns he's not the king of the mountain. No. And it's from like a relatively skinny guy versus Musley Stallone. Oh yeah. It's jump kicking. It's all kinds of stuff. It's kind of taller than Stallone. Yeah, that's
Starting point is 00:38:52 true. He's got a lot of reach is where the thing is. Yeah, you're right on that. Good reach. And like the girlfriend's like, I'm going to fight and just gets hits the guy. I hope I don't get kidnapped eventually. I'll just be over here in nursing my skull. Not getting Is there plenty of room behind me to get the chlor-front? Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I want to make things as easy out of the owner as possible because there's no way Sylvester Stallone is waiting. We got plenty of rope. Don't worry. We're all rock climbing today, so plenty of rope if you need it. And then, the most amazing scene in this movie happens. They're fighting, and it's like Salone's about to lose, and then Leon somehow slips up, and Sylvester Stallone undertaker body presses this man up into a stillone. into a stalactite.
Starting point is 00:39:38 And this motherfucker gets like the alien baby out of his body, and it's gruesomely awesome. And, I mean, honestly, if he wasn't dying from being appelled by a stalactite, he would die of shock. Like, really? Like, how?
Starting point is 00:39:57 Just like, oh my God! I never thought I'd see this ever. This wasn't on my possible dip, peckless at all. not what you expected when you hijacked that plane is that some fucking meathead's going to bench press me into its delight
Starting point is 00:40:12 thus ending my life. The dialogue in this fight scene is great too because it's Leon being like where's that money? And he's like I burned it. Which is true because they had to sleep in an ice cave and he used the money to start a fire. Now.
Starting point is 00:40:29 I get it's probably pretty cold some of my well you know it's not cheap studio time. Okay, you need to hire the engineer. You got to rent this fucking space. You need musicians to back you up. If you ever think for a second,
Starting point is 00:40:46 you're going to get this full record out, why about you pocket a little of that for you fucking burning? And doesn't he have a line about it too? He's like, I guess I'm just burning a hole in my pocket. Yeah, he does say he's burning a hole in his pocket. You know what, Andrew, go try and break a $1,000
Starting point is 00:41:01 bill at a Sam Ash. I dare you. You go try and break a hundred. It's not going to happen. And is Sam Ash? Yeah, that'll probably take it. And Leon's dead. They climb out of this thing. And at this point, for no reason,
Starting point is 00:41:16 the next guy on deck is like, thank God they kill this British guy. They call they kill that black bastard. You're like, wait, what? Wait a second. You guys are teammates. Who are you? Why are you racist all of his side?
Starting point is 00:41:30 He's magically racist, too. And I think it's a thing where he knows that Leon is dead. So he said, well, finally, I couldn't break it out. He softballed it earlier. He called him boy at one point. Oh, yeah. He said he's a softball.
Starting point is 00:41:46 And, like, Lithgow had to, like, put him in the corners. Now I say, as long as he's alive, there'll be no racist comments in my handbrain. Keep your boys to yourself. I'm sorry, Leo. It's very unprofessional. And he's the British guy now. And he's like, fucking with Michael Rooker. He's calling him all sorts. shit. He's like, you're probably Jewish.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Like, wait, what? Yeah, he's too. He says something. He's like, look at that curly hair. What's that supposed to be? Be- Wow, this guy is a hateful son of a bitch out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:42:19 If you're going to have a hateful son of a bitch, I need that dude front and center. First note, is what I want. I don't need surprise racism. It's a lot climbing movie. Especially John Liffgoe running around. No, and if anyone, by the way, if anyone's going to be a secret racist, it's John
Starting point is 00:42:35 Yeah. He's another guy who I don't know. Jeeves. No, Jeeves doesn't know. No, no at all. I don't remember what he said. Kevin? Maybe. Like a little Jeeves to Kevin. Horatio, maybe. Everyone in the Mountain Rescue of
Starting point is 00:42:49 four people is on the mountain except for kindly old, I think his name is Frank. He's the old guy, the old sack of shit, dead meat. He was like painting pictures, like an autistic. They're really terrible painting. He's an autistic kid's paint, though. Because they're, oh, come out.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Because at one point, Michael Rivers, like, hey, Frank, what's that supposed to be? And he's like, well, you know how monkeys like to eat bananas? And he's like, well, yeah? Because, well, this is a picture of a banana eating a monkey. And then Walker's just like, you fly our helicopter house? That's a great job, buddy. I'll buy it for me. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Here's a thousand dollar bill. So he's the one, like, everyone's getting, everyone's in peril and like Frank doesn't know what's going on So he's like, well, I better go get killed So he flies, lands And, you know, honestly he sees Is Michael Rupert in peril? No, no, no, here's, oh man, oh God,
Starting point is 00:43:51 guys, there is so much awesome death in this movie So they're doing their little Lord of the Rings track through the snow And they come across the two who are about to do some, like, base jumping off this, like, snowy mountain. And they're like, whoa, hey, Rooker Man! And he's like, get out of here. God damn it, you don't know what's going on. And they just fucking open fire on these two dudes.
Starting point is 00:44:17 And they start running. One dude gets it right away. And you're like, all right. Well, you know, with that neon snow pants suit on, he was getting far. The other dude decides to, like, jump off to escape, which is pretty badass. If you're a base jump, for sure. Oh, yeah. That's the only way.
Starting point is 00:44:31 like to escape. You don't want to go down to staircase. You're always practicing for the death-defying face jump. Yeah, exactly. The one where you can't hesitate, you just need to do it. So this guy does it and escapes at the guy's, oh, fucking son of a bitch, hope he's not Chinese. And so this guy makes it
Starting point is 00:44:51 kind of. And he's like, oh no! And just like falls into a tree, and he's kind of stuck. And these wolves? This hungry pack of wolves Just come on fucking Boltoin' friends Come out of the woods and just start yipping in the sky's boots
Starting point is 00:45:13 and you're like, oh, I sure hope Frank doesn't say this happen. I thought he does, and it sucks. It's actually kind of great because Frank sees what's going on. I was, oh, no, wolves! And he lands the chopper and he pulls out
Starting point is 00:45:31 like a hairy Callahan fucking pistol. Hey, you wolves! It starts firing wildly up in the air and the wolves like, no, fine. It's Frank, let's go. I will find another meal. And he saves this dude, he cuts him down. But what's great, he's like, all right, I'm
Starting point is 00:45:47 going to help you, don't worry about it. He puts him in the chopper. This guy's never seen again in the movie. Frank continues to the top of the mountain. Do you don't see what happens to this guy? I think he's like, well, let's see, he's doing the math. Like, if I get Rooker, I get Northern Exposure Lay, he's sly. there's not going to be enough room in this helicopter. Boots. You know what?
Starting point is 00:46:05 Wolves, come back. You know, just just finish him. He's fine. Oh, no. So that guy may or may not be dead. I'm pretty sure he's dead. I think he's just dead. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:46:17 I think they just toss him out in the helicopter. Yeah. Is that what bears do to research dominance? Before they decide to eat you. Oh, yeah. But then they won't eat yourself. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Well, yeah. Well, because they have to own it. first. Yeah, the mark their term. Mark their turn. So Frank comes down and just gets shot up. There's a lot of awesome, like, Lenny Holland's not just an action director, but he's kind of an artist. So, maybe
Starting point is 00:46:42 sometimes when you're shooting off a machine gun, the whole shot will go silent and you'll just see an old man fall to his death. There are also some clever sons of bitches. I mean, this is some, like, wily coyote shit, because what they do is,
Starting point is 00:46:58 you see earlier in the movie, they've got these distress smoke signal things so it's like when you get to the top when you get the, you know you want the chopper to come around and help you light this thing off and a bunch of red smoke goes so the chopper knows where to fly up and get you. So they light one of these things off next to this woman who's
Starting point is 00:47:13 laying face down. I thought it was the lady from Die Hard 3 who's like Jeremy Iron. No she's what you can call it? She's Robben's wife from Hook. Yes! You know when Robin Williams is Peter Pan
Starting point is 00:47:29 fuck's you know what's her face from Wendy's daughter yeah no but no he's sleeping with Wendy and then he goes on to the daughter
Starting point is 00:47:37 he goes right making his way right through right through that fucking family tree man it's creepy well I hope he's hit a dead end because the next stop on that tree's his own dog you never know
Starting point is 00:47:49 you just never know fuck man I mean it's a re-envisioning so maybe anything goes you're right it's not accurate to Jay and Mary's original intentions.
Starting point is 00:48:00 So anyway, this lady, who's not the lady from diehound with a vengeance, is laying face down like, is he here yet? And then racist British guys kind of just hang him back, and Frank's like, don't worry about it, I'm going to help you, and then I can show you what I paint is.
Starting point is 00:48:17 And she, like, kind of springs up, like, ha-ha! And this dude blows the shit. I mean, you want to talk about an old man just meeting his maker. It is Frank and Cliffanger. And it's just sad because he's just like, oh man.
Starting point is 00:48:33 When you get that far and not get shot in life and then that's how you go in your 70th year. You're just painting all sorts of bananas, eating animals or whatever. He was going to make the trip back fun. He was going to show them, ah, this is where it goes this way. This is where it goes this way.
Starting point is 00:48:52 You might not think a hell of God if you can do a barrel bow. Here we go. So he's dead in Roeuvre. He's really pissed off. He looks a racist, British guy, and he's like, you and me, man. That means fighting. That means fighting.
Starting point is 00:49:06 For those listening at home. It's live. How do you did the two eyes to other two eyes? Yeah, yeah. Our eyes are going to meet eventually in a fight like this. And they start fighting. It's a fantastic fight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:20 It's all the racial stuff that's probably thrown about. Well, then it becomes a football, an ex-football player. He's like, oh, yeah. He's a striker. He is an ex-professional soccer player. I mean, that just seems to me career-ending knee injury. Yeah, for sure. That might be what made him a racist.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Do you think he was on, like, he was on, like, Great Britain's World Cup team, and they played Ghana, and some dude kicked him and fucked up his knee, and that made him a racist? Well, that's in the novelization of Cliffhane, which is 1,500 pages long. It's every character's back. story, it's beautiful. He brought back to that day on the pitch in Brazil.
Starting point is 00:50:04 The Ghani's defenseman came out of lightning speed. I can write that. You can write that right now. I'll figure that out. And it's kind of great, so he's got Rooker over the ledge, and he's like, oh, you'll probably something I don't like. And he's, like, hitting his hand.
Starting point is 00:50:21 And Rooker gets, like, cuts his leg, gets a shotgun and shoots him, like, four times. It's beautiful. Oh, man, it's fantastic. Matt Stikes to Frank, by the way. Once Frank is laying dying, he's like, here's a knife, why he was going to paint it later.
Starting point is 00:50:36 So, Ricker, like, someone is in love with Frank. He's a sweet old man. He didn't resume anything. It's a perching remark to think about that. And it's fine. You should be invested in these characters.
Starting point is 00:50:48 They're all the classic cinema characters. And now we're down to, it's kind of great, where it's Travers, and he's like, oh, fuck! God damn piece of Satan, god's fucking dead. Everybody's fucking dead. And like, you know, basically Travis has this
Starting point is 00:51:06 ASEP asleep. He's like, John Liskill makes no bones of bad. He's like, I'm going to kill you, Travis. Eventually. Like, we're working together now, but I'm going to kill you one day. And like, the only thing he's got in his hand is this PKE meter that tells him where the fuck. Which is impossible. The codes.
Starting point is 00:51:22 That's code. He holds it. He holds a map up to a machine that's a PKE reader. And it's just like, there it is. It has the full map there, right after one there. That's movie science. All of those. So basically, it's like, okay, well, who needs who
Starting point is 00:51:38 in this situation? He's like, well, I got the fucking cold fuck face! And, like, John Lusco is like, well, I can also fly a helicopter, and his girlfriend's like, well, so can I. It's like, oh, good point. And blows her away. Now, I'm the only way to get off this mountain. It's a really
Starting point is 00:51:54 brutal... It's a really brutal... Like, he just blast this chick in the back. And it's like, you can tell it's some John Lithgow, like, he was probably getting a little too into the role because the actress is like, oh, I'm shot now. And he grabs this woman by the shoulder and just rips her back. And he just puts her like a rag doll.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And it falls on the ground and you're like, John, I don't know. And then like he's like, well, I'm the only helicopter pilot. So now you have to go get the money. And he sits down and does my favorite movie. in the movie, he's like, I'm not going anywhere. And he has this scarf, and he just goes, and he just rips it off
Starting point is 00:52:36 for like three minutes. It's fantastic. And you can tell by the removal of this scarf, we won't be going anywhere. So this is Travers versus Stoll. Well, actually, this is my favorite part. So Travers is following this, he's got this grid. He knows, you know, it's like, you know, it's leading him to the money. And it keeps moving around.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It's like, well, what the fuck's going on? What the fucking shit? God damn a piece of fucking PK shit. God fucking god damn it. He's just like hitting it and he looks up and this rabbit has a little tracer on it and he's like, hello!
Starting point is 00:53:10 And he's like, oh, are you fucking rabbit? And he starts just fucking blasting just spraying the snowbank and you're like, oh god damn, poor fucking rabbit man. I kind of want to see the scene where Stallone grabs the rabbit. Hey rabbit, come here, it's going to be hilarious.
Starting point is 00:53:27 No rabbit, I'm serious. You got to stay still. You don't get it. You get the scene where he's like, all right, now here's a suitcase and travers will be looking for the same. And this rabbit's like, what? I got all this roughfish in my pockets. The spraying happens, and then the rabbit comes up like,
Starting point is 00:53:48 fuck-to-day, fuck-face. Fuck- damn rabbit! Fuck it! It just starts spraying everything. Interesting bit of trivia about this. So apparently in the original cut of Cliffhanger, Travers got this little fucker, right? And you saw this rabbit just, I don't know what happens when a oozy hits a rabbit. Nothing good.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Just turn into a red cloud and float off to heaven. And test audiences were like really disgusted by this. And they demanded that that seemed to be removed from the movie. And I guess at that point, Renew Harley was like, but the rabbit that gets cute. It's both the crux of the whole story. It's all man versus nature. It's right there. Everyone can see it.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Hello, a thief. Isn't it cathartic, Gina? So Stallone paid $100,000 out of his own fat pocket to reshoot that whole sequence. But when you look at it, it's like, there's ways to do that without spending $100,000. Maybe leave it up the chance,
Starting point is 00:54:55 or do you think the audiences were so enraged? we're so enraged. Like, I need to see that rabbit okay. I can't even imagine that. Here's an idea. Go to a pet store with $5. Buy another brown rabbit and have to go,
Starting point is 00:55:07 and that's all you need. Because no one's going to be like, now wait a second. That ain't the same rabbit. That's a brown rabbit, but that's a browner rabbit. Hollywood, I think it's funny. What was it?
Starting point is 00:55:20 A long tape that couldn't just cut? Yeah, I don't know, but it happened. I don't get it. So Trevor's is extra pissed off because this rabbit just fucking gave him a brown out and just walks away. And it's disgusting, isn't it? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:55:36 And basically, it's him versus Stallone. Stallone is under ice for some reason. And Trevor's like, I'm not you now, you fucker. He wanders onto yet another Lord of the Rings set. This is a village where I expect that red-haired girl from Game of Thrones. Like, you know nothing, John Snow
Starting point is 00:55:56 to go out. Like, it's the wall is where we are right now. They are at the wall. Like, he walks in, and everything, by the way, is outside. They shot this in some mountain range in Italy. It's all, like, very beautiful outside shooting. Except when they get to this thing where it's, like, this mystical ice-covered bridge
Starting point is 00:56:12 and, like, a frozen creek, and you're like, what movie did I just fall into it? And, yeah, Stallone is hiding under the... He fucking breaks. out and just starts firing. Oh, no, cocks, suck! And they fall into the water, and it's like a whole big fight, and then Travers is the one
Starting point is 00:56:34 who goes down the creek under the water. And saying, Cox, are you kidding? But we should talk about the ending, because it's fantastic. Not to spoil anything, but Slovis Salon's girlfriend gets kidnapped. It just, it happened
Starting point is 00:56:55 Her worst fear I hate when that happened She got out of bed like You know, you know Sure, but I'm going to get kidnapped today It's Tuesday That day for kidnapping Got a lot stuff to do tomorrow
Starting point is 00:57:09 It's cold out It's horses lead timing Fucking son of bitch Gabe isn't around Yeah, I don't want to see Gabe I hope I don't see him today You know what actually, I'm sorry God I'd rather get kidnapped than see Gabe then both happens
Starting point is 00:57:23 and she's like really pissed at God wouldn't you be yeah I don't want to see that fucking did me it's the 90s so the hero and the villain have to talk to each other via walkie talking he's like I'm not your girl Stallone and he's like oh no fuck
Starting point is 00:57:36 so he's like meet me on devil's peak and give me the money because there's a third the third batch of money finally Stallone's got he didn't burn it he didn't eat it he's got another backpack right he took it from the super suitcase and put it in a rucksack he's a man of nature
Starting point is 00:57:50 and you know he goes up to the peak and he's like throw it in the helicopter and he's like that's how he's a helicopter so he's like got the money he's like all right no
Starting point is 00:58:03 I want to make one thing clear how did you get kidnapped again and she's like apologizing from the helicopter she's like I'm sorry so I'm sorry he came up and it was a helicopter
Starting point is 00:58:14 and I thought it was prank and then he didn't have his easel with him that was too late and he told me to get Or I got it. Look, it's impossible that she gets kidnapped in this movie. No, it's ridiculous. It's off-screen, too.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Don't do off-screen kidnappings. I want to see that shit. Don't give me surprise, racism, or off-screen kidnapping. No, thank you. That's two-strikes. No, thank you. And, you know, basically, she runs away, and Stallone, because he is a fucking, he's a socialist in this film.
Starting point is 00:58:43 He's got $100 million, and he throws it in the helicopter blade, blows it right up, and fucking Lithgow is, Fiorios. You know what though? And he is. But do you think he would have been more upset if Stallone had some line like, can you break a hundred million? I'm stuck in through it up.
Starting point is 00:59:03 I would. There's one time when you have a quiff, and he's just like, and up it goes. It's not as good, but we do get it. Oh, damn you, Walker! He's like, oh god damn you are. He's furious about it. Which at this point, also, by the way,
Starting point is 00:59:20 John Litgow as Quarmane or whatever his name is. Quaylan. It's the real name. Eric Quaylan. Eric Coelan. At that point, your money's all gone. You have a helicopter and this man who's your rival is on the ground.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Just kick that woman out of the helicopter and fly away. You can't do anything. You're done. Yeah, it's over but now he's like filled with rage and remand. He's mad with power. Yeah, and like somehow the helicopter crashes almost. It's like hanging from a thing. and Eric
Starting point is 00:59:52 and Litzkow and Stelone are finally going mono-imano which is what you really wanted to see in an action movie Yeah I want to say So that's just a lot of pick the shit out in an old theater action
Starting point is 01:00:02 I think it's going to be any kind of challenge whatsoever and the thing is ridiculous is that he puts up a fight He does He's really got he's got his number actually
Starting point is 01:00:15 I want that scene needs to start with like okay Quaylin my feet legs, arms, and wrists are all broken. My back is strength and I'm blind. Let's do you this. Ha! That's how he fights. He's scratched.
Starting point is 01:00:33 He is. He is. Like Stallone's doing Stallone's stuff, and he's like, Ketit! Ket! Ket! Ket! He's on his head, like a cat. He's trying to get his mouth open? He's like, oh, fuck. I'm going to make you miss now! folks at all of them shoveling snow. Absolutely. And I mean, basically... Well, you're in the way here on top, like, get him!
Starting point is 01:00:59 They're really not doing anything. The helicopter's hanging. Yeah. There's a lot of really strong cables in this room. I know in the sport activity of rock climbing. You need, like, strong ropes and whatnot. Holders, yeah, yeah, curving nears. But how do you have a thing on board?
Starting point is 01:01:20 that is strong enough to hold a helicopter off the side of a mountain. I have no idea. I don't even. It's terrified. Are those real? That's a movie thing. That's a movie thing. And basically, he drops from the sky and, you know, the thing explodes, and now he's dead, and we're happy.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And that's the end of the movie. That's the end of the film. That's Cliffanger, everybody. Thank you. We're coming out. We're going on. We're going to be the next time. Woo!
