Hello, I'm Andrew Jopin.
Chris Gabon.
Eric Siska.
And we hate movies.
Hello everyone, welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in, as always.
If you are new to us, if you have found us, via the Sideshow Network, welcome.
Thank you for hanging out.
We're happy to be here.
Today we're talking about a truly atrocious film from the 1980s.
And first we'll say, finally, welcome to the program, Whoopi Goldberg.
Finally, man.
Was this her first?
This is Whoopi's first time on the show with 1987's face.
Beatle Beauty, directed by Tom Holland.
What is this movie?
Oh, I can tell you exactly what this movie is.
Chris Cabin's going to tell us exactly.
Wait, I want to hear this.
Beverly Hills Lady Cop.
Yeah, you're totally right.
It's precisely what it is.
It's just like, hey, you know what?
Eddie Murphy, he made us a bunch of money three years ago.
Yep.
Would be Goldberg's going to make us a bunch of money now.
No, she's not.
Like, make her a cop, make her have a potty mouth.
You're totally right.
because she's just a wise-cracking Axel Foley
as portrayed by Whoopi Goldberg is what's happening.
Although, like I read a little bit of trivia
that Cher was going to play this role originally.
And you know what? That makes complete sense
because this is a great place to start.
Whoopi Goldberg's name in this movie
and I get the irony because her name is Whoopi Goldberg
but she's playing a character in this movie
named Rizoli.
And there's one scene.
Rita Rizoli.
There's one scene in this movie
where they
Sam Elliott says to her
like well that sure is a nice
Italian name and they make no joke
but he's also like
and you got them beautiful
Italian
brown eyes it's
it's so insane like she's
the character in the movie
was supposed to be actually Italian
and shares pulling off Italian
and just let's let's clear this up
because you know because her name
is Rosoli you might be wondering if
Sam Elliott's name is Isles
it is not
just so we have
have that cleared up. It's also kind of, it's kind of
all right with me that the fact that they just
like, you know, well, you know, this
is a part written for whatever
and we're just going to put whoever in it.
And I think that's kind of cool. It's totally
fine, but take out the scene where they
have a conversation about her being Italian.
Yes, they really, they really go
over the top with it because they mention it a lot.
Like in Shawshank Redemption
with Morgan Freeman as read, it's
it's like played for a joke in one scene.
Instead, these scenes
are played like super serious.
like, you're a retaliate.
Well, that's what's funny is because
I heard a story. I think
it was actually on the commentary for the Beverly
Health Cop Blu-ray.
Okay.
Where Beverly Hill's Cop was actually
supposed to be a Sylvester Stallone vehicle.
Oh, really? And they turned it into a
comedy specifically to
make the script work
for Eddie Murphy.
Oh, I see. Oh, it was going to be
Cobra, too. It was like Cobra.
It was supposed to be like Cobra.
That's how.
Yeah, no thanks.
It went the right way.
Yeah, I'm very happy.
And this was the wrong way.
Absolutely.
This is the wrong way.
So this is, Whoopi Goldberg is, I mean, she's Axifoli.
She is a hard-nosed detective, always quick with the one-liners, you know, kind of like the bane of the police force's existence, like everyone else on this police force, including, because it's a 1980s cop comedy, the run ragged chief played by some man who's one heartbeat away from not being on this earth anymore.
Wits end. He is about
to lose it. He's going to blow a gasket. Well, no, that's the thing.
I don't think he's like defeated. He's just like,
Oh, Rizoli. You know what? I didn't want to get
out of bed today anyway. You know what? I'm going home and you can go
and deal with all of this stuff you started. Chris, you are right. I think his gasket probably
blew like six months ago and he's less like, oh yeah. This is just the steam.
He's brain and soul dead. Yeah. After this. And it's just like, whatever you're going to do, I know
You're just going to do it, Rizoli.
Yes.
Foley, Rezoli.
So we start out, Whoopi Goldberg is, of course, dressed up like a prostitute undercover.
She's running down the street, just yelling one-liners at people.
It's like, this is the introduction to your movie that is pushing the two-hour mark.
And you're like, oh, okay, I remember the first time I saw this about a year or two ago.
It's like, oh, that's what this movie is.
Okay, I have 147 minutes left of this movie.
and I know exactly what's going on.
Hooray.
Like, she just doesn't stop.
And by the way, she's an undercover agent, it turns out, in this scene.
Yes.
She's wearing stuff that everybody remembers.
Like, a big blonde wig.
You're totally right.
Like this crazy pink and, like, leopard print dress thing going on.
Oh, it's nuts.
And then my favorite part, the sunglasses that are hands.
They're like sunglasses in the shape of jazz hands.
It's the weirdest thing.
I thought I was watching pants.
Labrard
So she like goes into this bar
Or whatever
To try to get this dude
To sell her some drugs
Is what's going on
She gets sexually harassed by Cheech Marin
Oh big time sexually harassed by Cheech Marin
He's sticking his big Cheech tongue out
And he's just like asking
Why don't you kiss me baby?
And I'm like man
Yeah
This is a business
You're working here right now
How about that stereotypical Texan
Next to him?
Who thinks of him?
Who thinks?
thinks he's going to wrangler afterwards. Oh yeah. He's like, oh, didn't work for
Cheech over there. I'm going to wrestle my way. I can buy you a, I can buy you a
and I believe that twice in the same scene, she threatens different characters with if you don't
get away from me or if you don't stop what you're doing, I'm going to cut your dick off. Yeah.
And I'm just like, oh, so that this movie is at that level. Oh yeah. Like we're talking about
cutting dicks. Like it's that.
level now. Later, balls are
almost shot off. Oh, well, that
comes standard, I feel. Is it?
Ball cut, or the threat of ball cutting?
I mean, ball threat in general.
Well, like, Jim Belushi and K-9,
like, he's like, the dog's going to bite your
balls off. Like, it's been around
for a while. Yeah, I guess you're right.
That was the start of ball danger in cinema?
No, I feel like Ball Danger's been around forever.
Like, was Charlie Chaplin ever hitting the balls?
I'm pretty sure Harold Lloyd.
Buster Keaton, maybe.
A house felon.
on Buster Keaton's balls. It's fine.
So, you know, this whole
deal goes wrong. Like, the dude shows up
and, you know, they're about
to do this whole thing. And then this guy
in the back of the bar starts, like, getting rough
with this other woman. And, like, Whoopie's
got to stop in and take care of this, because, you know,
she's a good person. You find out, like, she
like stands for the people of the streets.
And this turns out to be an
informant of hers. Her, like, best
like, ears on the ground kind of a thing.
She's in the middle of this bar getting
beaten by this is like
Klaus Kinski's stunt double or something
Dude he looks like a cross
between Klaus Kinski and the woman
who plays Zool and goes
He's like the singer from
Diane Wood
It's got a fucking reddy blonde mullet
It's not good
He's hammering this chick in this bar
And like Cheech does not doing
anything. No one cares
They're just like oh well let
I'm not getting involved in people's business
But it's like well if a woman dies in your bar
Yeah, that might just draw, you know, attention to other bars.
Yeah, you're getting put out of business, chief.
Yeah, I don't think- Or cheat, rather, I should say.
Um, so she follows this dude out in the alley and she's like, hey, you know, knock it off.
I'm a cop, you know, and this guy, like, turns around and just starts, like, beating the shit out of her.
Oh, yeah.
Throwing the N-word this way and that.
Oh, my God.
And then, like, we're raising the stakes again because, like, all right, first you're saying you're going to cut someone's dick off.
You're like, all right, it's that movie.
Okay, fine, you know.
And before that, she's out on the street doing a lot of, like,
don't mess with me, motherfucker, like this and that.
So you're, like, tuning yourself into the language.
And then it's like, all right, cutting balls off.
That's fine.
That's the level where this movie is.
I get it.
And then all of a sudden, the N-word is thrown out, like, seven times in ten seconds.
Like, just going for it.
As this dude is stomping her.
And I'm like, I thought this was a Whoopi Goldberg cop comedy.
And, like, man, I get it.
I this is the villain so he's got to be evil
I wish he was the villain if he was having lines of dialogue
this he's like a he's like a hoodlub
for the scene he's the villain he's the villain of the scene
because he's about to kill her informant like I get it
why you why you're trying to amp it up so much
is that an acting trick like okay who's the villain of the scene
and who is the protagonist of the scene
I like maybe when the person is writing it
If you're sitting around acting a scene out,
and you're like, now, which one of us is the villain?
No one has read the scene.
Not the one with the knife, no.
Maybe the kind of dead prostitute.
No.
Fatal Beauty.
We guarantee you a villain in every scene.
Jock full of villains.
So she just murders this guy, like, just totally shoots this guy dead.
Yeah.
And, but the whole, like, undercover operation is blown.
You know, like, so her, her buddies.
come in like you fucked it up again
Rizoli. The drug dealer is long
gone. The money she brought to
buy the drugs with, you know.
Also gone. Also gone. Just taken
by someone in the alley when her
purse gets thrown in
her stomping that ensued.
So, you know, then we're introduced
to this chief and it's like, you know,
all that money's gone, this person's
murdered, what's going on with this, you know,
undercover operation. Well, we cannot
miss. She's got two
partners or not partners
like detectives they were
this one guy will not
stop the dude from Lost with the
mullet um the guy who in
the thing his head becomes the
spider
not really narrowing it down
but I know who you're talking about
the one whose head becomes the spider
because there's the guy from Lost whose name is Chris
Mulkey no no that's the other one
this is the other wonder gentleman
I think yeah the round
the rotund fellow
okay yeah it sort of looks like Robert
Wool meets the
Michelin man
But like man
Right after you went on like an
N-word spree
He's referring to this
His colleague as a
Dusky detective
Yeah
And then like she bends over
To get a piece of evidence
He's like
Yeah I could show you a good time there honey
Oh yeah
He's like
He was only you ever have a doggy style
But it's awesome though
Because the whoopster flips it around
She's always flipping them right
And she's just like
I have it
what do you think about it or whatever?
And then, like, oh, this dude's just, like, humiliated.
She implies that he has had, someone had perpetrated doggy style on him,
and the crowd that has gathered starts to chuckle.
Thinks it's pretty good.
Thinks it's a pretty good one.
Hey, if I was there, I'd laugh at that fat fuck, too.
He's being completely inappropriate is what's happening.
Well, he also, they had, they make a bet over this corpse.
Oh, that's, well, so we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here as I feel what's going on,
because we can't also, we can't forget,
Brad Duref is in this movie.
Yes.
So the other side of like,
so she's trying to get this like drug ring or whatever.
And this guy that she was going to buy from,
you know,
winds up running away when she goes after the,
the woman getting hit on in the alley or whatever.
Kind of looks like Big Daddy from the Simpsons.
He's kind of wearing a moo-moo.
Yeah.
So then like we follow this guy.
And this guy like goes into like a closed Chinese.
restaurant or whatever and then we see
like a van outside and it's Brad Durif
and like two other dudes getting
ready to rob this place or whatever
and then we see what's going on
there's like three Asian women
and an Asian man like just
totally nude like going through
the Coke and everything
one dude's got the giggle fits
yeah
he's been like ingesting it somehow
so he's like freaking out or whatever and then
one of the guys that Brad Durif is
with is like also
working for this drug ring and he's going to like turn
on them so he's like, all right, I'll leave the door unlocked and
blah, blah, blah. And you
go in and they just start shooting
up the place like Brad Durf and this other guy
just like murder everybody. Yeah.
And it's like we're stealing all of the
product. This guy's laughing throughout
the murders. Yeah. Brad Derriff's
playing a real crazy dude
in this movie. Well, he's a total scumbag.
But like, and isn't, I think
Tom Holland wrote Child's play
or he directed it? He
at least definitely directed it a year
after this movie. So yeah, I think that
this is laying the groundwork
for playing Chuckie.
For being a serial killer.
Right, right. Or like a, you know, a
vooduistic one. Right. We're going to do
this movie so you can get in character
for the next movie. We're going to lay some ground
work, is what I'm saying. Now, you're going to be
in both movies. You get to be
the villain in every scene. This is the
big villain. This villain's in
every scene almost.
Yeah.
But yeah, like,
he's crazy in this movie. He's totally
crazy. So, like, they go on this killings for you. They steal
all the product, which the product is called
Fatal Beauty, this strain of
coke that, we're told
the guy has, like, cut incorrectly
and there's too much of
one cutting agent, so
it's, like, really strong and poisonous
and lives up to its name
fatal beauty, right?
So then they get called to that scene.
And then, yeah, these two, like, pig
detectives are like, oh, his face
is so shot up, like, we'll give you 50 bucks
if you can positively, uh,
ID him. And she's like, oh, yeah, that ring on his finger has his initials on it.
Great detective work, everybody. You know, and she goes out and she sees like this van for this
security systems company. And, uh, Kroll Enterprises.
Crawl. Yeah, like the warrior.
Oh, well. Or is it Kroll? Like Nick Kroll.
Nick Kroll. Oh, is it? Like Nick Kroll's uncle.
Crawl is the, the conqueror. That's a movie.
Call the Kronkerer. Oh, call the, the Kroll. And then Kroll is
Kroll is the movie and then there's Kohl of the Conqueror.
Oh, oh, oh.
As a giant or whatever.
Yes.
And then there's a big alien monster thing.
Wait, but there is a movie.
Wait, Kroll, man.
All right, hang on.
There is a movie called Kroll, right?
Yes.
So I'm not crazy.
No, yeah, there's a movie called Kroll.
But then there's also.
And you should check it out.
It's pretty nice.
I've seen it.
Well, you should watch it again.
But then there's, you're saying, call the Conqueror is a different thing?
I think, I think this might be a case of the internet ticker being needed to.
So we'll fire off the internet ticket to get an answer on that.
But so anyways, she sees this van and there's blood coming out of it and...
The third guy got shot.
Yeah.
So that dude's like dead in the van or whatever.
Call the Conqueror with Kevin Sorbonne.
Right.
There we go.
Okay.
So now we're back at the detective precinct and he's flipping the fuck out.
And it turns out that this like crawl of crawl, you know, security or whatever this guy's business is, is a dude high up in society, you know, it's the 1980s.
So your vague drug trade's happening, right?
All over the place.
The whoopee's basically saying, like, hey, this dude, crawl is somehow involved in this drug racket.
And the guy's like, listen, I don't like where this is going.
He has ties to all sorts of politicians.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's 1987.
It's exactly what you think is going to happen.
Yeah, it's the vague drug trade.
I mean, you know, there's always a rich white dude behind it, you know, like we've seen canines before us.
And I've been reading a lot of self-help books these days.
And I think that, I mean, this.
To me, this is exactly what the...
Are you okay?
Well, a little bit.
No, but this is what I imagine, this guy's going, the chief.
Yeah.
Because he's always just like, do it.
Like, no, just don't, please don't do it.
Like, I want like a little...
Yeah, this dude's ready to kick the chair out.
Yeah, I kind of want more of a lethal weapon type chief where he is, like, yelling at him and, like, actually like, get your job done.
Versus like, oh, Rizoli, yeah.
Really, man?
No, this guy's got, like, his own cloudy hanging above him.
Oh no Rosoli
Look who's back
It's cloudy
You make my life miserable
I don't want to
Why would you do that to somebody
Don't shoot up everybody
So then we get this scene
One of my favorite character actors
That doesn't really get a lot of work these days
James Lagros
Totally awesome dude
He's playing like this drug dealer
Who's slinging some of this
Brad Duriff and his buddies come up
one dude is what Mark
Pellegrino from Lost is one of the guys
And then this other guy whose character's name is Frankenstein
They're trying to like intimidate him
Well it's not James James Ogross is just a kid
He's not the dealer
Oh that's not the drug dealer
Don't they look very similar a little bit?
Yeah I so then this other guy isn't anybody though
He's just a no he's just a drug dealer
But so they're trying to intimidate this guy
Like you're going to sling for us or blah blah blah
And to get this guy like shaking in his boots
This man whose name is Frankenstein just takes a glass soda bottle and chomps into it and chews it up and then spits bits of blood, glass, and presumably the inside of his mouth into this dude's like champagne glass that he's got or whatever.
And it's one of those things, like, it shouldn't bother me because obviously this movie is stupid, but like he starts chewing the glass and there's a clear shot of him chewing the glass and pearly whites beaming.
out. And then all of a sudden he's got like
a whole hunk of blood
just drooping out of his mouth. That's how it
works. Comes out in hunks. Yeah, big old hunk.
It's so disgusting.
So this guy's like, all right, I will deal
drugs for you or whatever. Yeah, just please
don't eat glass in front of me ever again.
I'm ruining my champagne.
If you don't sell
drugs for us, I'll
do more bodily hard. I'm going to eat all your glasses.
Yeah. I'm just going to keep eating this glass
until you have no more glass. See that jar
tomato sauce? Whole thing's going in my
I'm going to chew it right up.
We get a scene of, this is one of my favorite moments,
is Whoopi Goldberg at this diner or like deli counter or whatever.
And it's like she's been working all night and this dude's like just opening up for business
because like now the sun's come up and she's got to order a pastramion rye
because she's a big tough cop.
And while this is happening, this is where James Lackros comes in.
And he's kind of like robbed the joint.
And like she talks him out of it by doing this.
second of two magic tricks
that she does in this movie. I didn't mention this.
In the first scene when they're in the alley
and the guys using the N-word,
she totally does a Batman
magic trick on him. Because
like she's one place and then
he looks and she vanishes
and he's like, where are you?
And she's like, it's ridiculous.
She pops up behind him and she's just like,
well, I'm right here behind you somehow.
It's ridiculous. By the way, this is also after
he threatens like, I know where you live
and I'm going to break into your house late at night
and then fight you
and then fuck you.
Like he's like, I'm not only going to break
into your house and hurt you,
I'm also going to rape you.
It's like also, and he like words it like a bonus.
Like he's like, and maybe just for fun,
I'll fuck your brains out.
And this is James LaGro saying this back at the deli.
But so then he pulls,
he's like, goes to pull a knife on her
and he's like, huh, huh.
And she's like, oh, looking for this.
And she pulls this switchblade out.
I'm like, what I have, your phallic symbol.
Come on, Oliver Twist.
This little pickpocket she is now.
And, yeah, and he accuses her.
He's like, that's a crime or whatever.
But it's like, you were just, you were trying to pull a knife on someone.
You can't exactly use that.
Why?
So she, like, talks him out of it, and she's like, go home, kid.
I got to eat this sandwich and get to bed or whatever.
And the chief explicitly says, like, and also you're not investigating this crawl guy.
He's way too powerful.
Like, nobody can touch him.
Stay away.
And she goes up to his house in her pink Cadillac.
And we are greeted by the most beautiful specimen,
1987 ever saw.
You know, I knew he was in this movie.
And I was like, yeah, whatever.
But when I saw this, I got weak in the knees.
It's incredible.
Here comes a 1987 Sam Elliott with the Sam Elliott
mustache and the most
beautiful, totally
wild, untamable
mullet. I mean, this hair is
outrageous. It's a Maine. Call what it is. It's a
Maine. It's an absolute lion
mane. This thing is so
awesome. He's got a couple of horse
features, if you know what I'm talking about.
It's hard to say no.
It is hard. It is.
And so he is
playing like Mr. Kroll's head of
security. And it's
just like, no, you can't come in.
Whoopi Goldberg.
But I'm going to flirt with you for a little bit.
Yeah.
So now we're just,
we're flirting for 10 minutes.
I'm Mike Marchek.
Yeah.
And I'm here to do security.
Mike Marchek.
Yeah, I work security for Mr.
Kroll.
You're gonna,
you got some beautiful eyes there.
This is the scene where he's like,
that's a nice Italian name, Rezoli.
Look at you.
A beautiful Italian woman.
And you're just like,
okay.
You know.
and so then it's like we cut to and this is there's like a little amazing bits after little amazing bits in this movie so right when i'm like just getting over the shock of that main we get a nude harris eulen in a swimming pool day bathing with a security guard just hanging out oh dude he's got detail everywhere watching him swim nude it's so fantastic and whoopi goldberg like jumps the fence or his big like hedge maze wall or whatever
And you just see Harris Eulen get out of this fucking pool
And his ass is hanging out
What does she say to him right then and there?
She makes fun of his small penis
She says, does that come an adult size?
Good one, well.
You got a little baby dick.
Got it tight.
Did you buy that a KB toys?
It looks like it cost a lot.
Well, you know, to quote George Costanza, you know,
he was in the pool.
Good toys.
Come on.
You know, so he gets a robot
on and puts his penis away so they can have an
interview. And it's just, it's
weird because you're like, okay,
like you're setting up Harris
Eulen's totally the bad guy in this movie.
Yeah. Yeah. And then
after this scene, Harris Eulen doesn't
come back into this movie until the last scene.
One more scene. He has one more
big sequence. That's it. At least Kevin
McTeague in K-9, like
he's the villain from start to
finish. You know, he's the guy high up
in society that, you know, he's
pals with the mayor and whatever. And he's like,
well, fuck you, Jim Belushi, like, through the whole movie.
Well, this movie, it's like, Wuppie meets him, and he's like, get out of here.
Be quiet.
Get out of here, Whoopi?
You know, and then he yells at Sam Elliott, like, who is that?
Be quiet.
I was a beautiful Italian movie.
And then he's gone for like an hour and 15 minutes until, like, his last scene.
Well, there were parts where I was like, is Brad Durf working for him to some capacity?
But he's not.
At the end, it's made very clear that they're too total.
separate enterprises.
Yeah.
They really kind of get
their wires crossed
like writing this movie
because yeah,
you do think like,
okay,
Brad Durav's like,
you know,
moving in,
working for this guy,
but what Brad Durf is actually doing
is moving in
on Harris Eulen's
entire operation.
Yes.
Where is the scene
where Harris Eulen's like,
this guy that looks like
a serial killer
is trying to mooch in
on my business,
you know?
Right?
And then,
you know,
uh,
Mike Marcheck.
Gotta go check.
Marcheck.
Rizoli, would you like to come with me to check this out.
Hey, we're going to check out an awful lot of things today, Rizole.
I want to check out my Marcheck.
But, like, where is Brad Durf seen, like, facing off with him, like, oh, yeah, old man.
Well, I'm going to take your fucking drug business.
Well, or like.
Step back, son, Mike Marchek.
I run security around here.
Which, by the way, he's terrible at.
Oh, God.
He never, he never does it.
He's the worst security guard.
Like, he's the highest paid terrible security guard in all of Beverly Hills.
And you're working for a drug lord.
You don't think the one thing the drug lord's really going to make sure he's got good is a security chief.
Brad Duref has way better security and he operates his drug operation out of the slums.
See, the thing is, Sam Elliott's just chasing Whoopi Goldberg the whole time.
He's just stalking her and nothing's getting done.
But I don't believe that this is just a first, like I kind of feel like whenever there's a pretty lady comes up to the door for Harris Yulin, he goes all do I.
His excuse is, my boss told me I have to follow you for a few months.
What?
Because I'm, you know, Mike Marchak, security.
Background checks.
They're really extensive.
Say, what do you, important?
Say, what do you think about this lion, Maine?
I'm sporting.
The thing is, a mustache and the title of security went a long way in the 1980s.
I guess it did.
And that's all you really needed to be able to do is grow a mustache.
And you could be someone's chief security.
office. Or just say you are one and people would respect you. Actually, that's also true. Now, how many of you guys, the two of you, thought that it was going to turn out that Sam Elliott was actually some like undercover FBI agent or something like, you're, you're going to blow it, whoopey. I've been playing the role of Mike Marchack for 10 years trying to get cold. The mustache falls off. I totally thought it was going to be a thing where he's working undercover to try to like bust him. You know, that makes sense.
but it didn't even occur to me.
Like that's how this movie should go. He reveals
that and it's like, okay, we'll work together
to take down Harris Eulen. Instead,
nothing happens with this big
drug lord. I actually for a moment
did kind of think he might have pulled
a like, oh man, my
brother died from drugs
that were supplied by Harris Eulin.
I got real close.
Like a little bit more of a personal touch.
Oh, dude, personal vendetta.
Yeah. I was going to drown him in that baby
dick in that pool. I was
going to drown him baby dick first
in that that nice swimming hole
he's got. You see, Rizoli,
I was doing a little more than just chasing
your skirt, you know what I'm saying?
But that
was my major concern.
It was a high priority.
So then we have
the craziest thing you'll ever see
in this movie. She gets a call
that her informant is
now in the middle of a hostage crisis.
There's another movie going on where this
informant girl is having the final destination
happened.
She was supposed to be beating the death in that alley.
She cheated it.
Now the Reaper's coming after.
Actually, no, that's the horror movie
that's happening on the other side of this movie.
Yeah, it's where the Reaper collects.
Where Fatal Beauty is just hitting like
everybody and it's madness in the streets.
Oh, yeah.
And like everybody's bleeding out their mouths and like killing each other.
Chomping down on glass.
It's the crazies.
It's the crazies.
great movie not the remake you see rizoli i was actually sent here by god to fight the reaper
mike marchek i'm an uh i'm an angel third class mike marchek heaven's security that'd be saint
marchic saint saint michael ring a bell saint michael marchek they don't they don't add the last
name to everybody so she's like my buddy's in trouble like let's go see what's going on
and it turns out
like she's in the house with some dude
who's like taking her hostage
she's on crank or something
and she's like
okay well you know let's go see what we can do
as soon as she said this this huge dude
who looks like the WWE's
Mark Henry bursts out of
this house with like a fucking shotgun
and like shoots this cop
like point blank with this shotgun
and they just open fire on this guy
and he's hepped up on
fatal beauty and this guy
comes running down these back stairs
like I'll kill everybody
he gets shot like 14 times
he's Robocop
by the time he gets to the bottom
of the stairs he's been Robocop
and he's still going he is
the energizer buddy of cranked
up drug users like this guy
is just getting shot and shot and shot
and he keeps coming after it finally drops
he finally drops it might be
because off screen Mike Marchek was
distracting the Reaper
he couldn't get there
I'm here, you son of a bitch.
No one's dying in Los Angeles today.
So this dude's murdered.
She runs inside to see what's going on,
and her informant has also OD'd unfatel beauty.
There's a kid in the house,
and I don't know what this kid's deal is.
I think this is like a little Dick Whitman situation, you know?
He's living with this prostitute house here.
Right, right.
Oh, yeah, I didn't put that together.
That's entirely possible.
He's being raised by a bunch of hookers with a heart of gold?
Yeah, and he'll change names eventually.
Find a job for himself.
Then he'll work for Chevy.
Yeah.
So, you know, Whoopi tries to revive this woman,
tries to get her in the tub, do CPR or whatever.
EMT comes in.
She's dead.
And so it's like, oh, now we're starting to put it together.
Like, oh, so there's fatal beauty, blah, blah, blah.
Like, let's try to get to the bottom of who's slinging this.
I read somewhere, I think it was IMDB.
I don't know if it was like official or if it was like
in the message board area that it's like
the movie title of fatal beauty has several meanings
for instance
no it doesn't you could apply it to
Whoopi Goldberg because she
is a beautiful woman but she'll also
kill people
someone took the time to write that somewhere
yeah someone took the time
it's a good intro if you're going to review
that's a good intro
so we get like the lab report
by the guy who like played
the Kramer character on Jerry
the guy who stole the raisins
like he comes in and he's just like
oh hey Rizoli they're like best friends
and he's like sorry to tell you this
but this is the strongest drug I've ever seen
in human history
and she's like oh a challenge okay
and like the whole thing is she keeps
getting shit on by her superiors
because they're all like oh well these
are like you know people over the street
creatures of the night like whatever we don't care oh like give me a fucking like i get it it's the lapd
trust me i get it but also like they're not gonna just be like oh fuck it an open case
like oh she was yeah i you know i don't know though i could totally see being like what they're
just prostitutes we have higher priorities this is los angeles i'm sure some rich white women
were dying from this possible it's entirely possible dude it's called
Tales of the Grim Sleeper. Have you seen that movie? Well, yes. Wait, what? There's a documentary coming
out called Tales of the Grim Sleeper. The Grim Sleeper was a serial killer in L.A. who killed
prostitutes. And the whole thing is like the LAPD kind of just didn't do anything about it.
Because they were like, oh, they're just, you know, they're black women, their prostitutes,
like, forget it. Right. So this guy like got away with it for years. And then he like went dormant.
And then he resurfaced and got himself caught. And like the documentary is.
about this dude, it's fucking terrifying and upsetting.
It's coming to HBO, dude.
It's going to be great.
From Nick Broomfield.
So they have a lead.
Her partner, by the way, is Ruben Blades.
Yep.
I wish Ruben Blades was in more movies.
Oh, he's great in the counselor.
He, like, really puts a nice, like,
the Cameron Diaz movie?
Yeah, it's great.
I'm a big defender of that movie.
Yes.
Steve is on the opposite end.
He's a wishy-washy on it, but I think he doesn't like it.
Yeah, there's, it's a mixed bag type of movie, right?
Like, a lot of people like, a lot of people hate it.
I really like it.
And Room Blades has a really good, like, badass.
Like, I'm the main, like, I'm the head of a cartel speech at the end of it.
The counselor has a movie with, like, a main focused villain in it.
Yes.
Oh, well, that's one thing.
This movie doesn't.
Yeah.
So they have a lead.
It's like, oh, this dude might be slinging this stuff.
Richard Geer.
Yes.
Slash, he looks like Richard Geer.
Which slash, he not, he had a dozen.
It absolutely does not look like him.
Not in the slightest.
But like Whoopi Goldberg thinks he looks like Richard Geer
and she thinks he's really hot or something?
Yes, but then there's the gag where like,
is it Sam Elliott's character?
Doesn't know who Richard Geer is?
There is a gag like that.
I don't know if it's, it might be...
I actually think it might be the fat detective,
the detective, the page detective.
There's a gag of this movie because it's 1987 where she's like,
oh, I'm going to go.
look for this guy. We get people look out. He looks like Richard
Gear and the person's like, who? And it's this total, I mean, it's a total
product of his time. You don't know who Richard Gear is? You haven't seen a pretty
woman? Richard Gear, handsomest man on earth. Greatest actor
the world's ever seen. Like, all this shit. You're just like, oh,
1987. Oh, thank you. But like, and the guy looks like
Joe Piscopo. Yeah, no, he doesn't look anything like Richard
gear. But so now we're back undercover and it's like
Disguise number two
She's playing like
Innocent girl
Like just moved to L.A.
to be an actress
And she walks over to him
Using the same stupid line like
Are you Richard Gear?
And then he's just like
Well I could introduce you to Richard Gear
Why don't you park your little fanny right there?
I could also use you and
sell you to my friends for a little bit of money
Like that's the subtext of the scene
It's so terrible though
Because it's just your classic like
skis ball like scumbag taking advantage of like an aspire like Hollywood scumbag you know what I mean
but he at least he's a little upfront about things because eventually he's like go back to my place
and and have some blow and she's like what's blow and he's like you know Colombian cocoa dust
oh yeah lick I think he calls it whatever you're not supposed to call it oh is it Colombian cuckoo dust
oh coo dust that's what it is yeah
Colombian cuckoo does. You know what?
And it's the same thing too with weed,
where it's like the person who's obsessed with like
given weed like a complicated nickname or
bragging about like the strain of weed.
You know what I mean? And you're just like,
just shut up. Like I don't give a shit
about what you're going to call this. And getting like
super excited to do it. That's another
terrible thing. Like this dude's like, we're going to go back
and do coke. Yes.
Which I guess you would do if you were already on cocaine.
Yeah, because it's pointedly the selling point.
Hey, man, everybody lacks Coke.
We're going to go do Coke.
What we're saying is if you're going to do drugs, man, keep it a little casual.
Totally.
Don't be so fucking obnoxious about it.
So whatever, he's like feeling her up and he's like, oh, what's that piece of metal between your legs?
Thankfully, there's no penis joke here.
I could have sworn this movie was not above a robot penis joke, but they go beyond that, which is nice.
And she's like, oh, that little old thing.
well it's just a gun because I'm totally a cop
and this guy like
this guy like starts firing wildly
and now there's just another shootout happening
in this restaurant she shoots him
in the butt
right in the butt just push right in the
butt and you're like oh man movie
like cut him in the leg
I know then he's got to go meet Lyndon Johnson
that was a far scump joke
oh Jesus
far pull
I mean after I figured it out
No, yeah, it's the scenic route.
So she, like, strings this guy.
She's like, oh, you got shot in the ass, huh?
Hey, kitchen staff at this restaurant.
String this guy up in your refrigerator.
I just do it.
Yeah, she's like, she's like, don't worry about it.
I'm a police officer.
Actually, can you make that a wins or not?
Okay, thank you.
And it's like in the meat locker, like, or like the freezer.
The walk-in fridge.
Yeah.
And she's like threatening this dude and like, yeah, I'm going to leave you in there.
Am I?
I watch this late at night
So if I'm misremembering
Something does she touch his dick
Or something because she does a dick
This is the next I'm going to
She taps it a little bit
Yeah she's like oh look at that little dick
She's obsessed with telling people they got little dicks
Oh yeah dude it's great and then she's like
Again she's like I'm going to shoot your cock off
Yeah
If you don't tell me
You know what the deal is with Brad Dura
That is fucked up man
That is like ISIS
Dude she gets results
Yeah
Rezoli
she gets results with or without aisles
what's that about by the way why did we
Resolian Isles is a new show right
Is that it was a remake of an earlier show
No no you're just thinking of Cagney and Lacey
Right so this is the same thing but with new names
And the name just happens to be exactly from this movie
Well I think also one of them is a detective
And the other one is like a medical examiner or something
Isn't that right? So they're not both cops
It's like bones and badges
which was the original title of bones
it was bones and badges and they just decided to come off
but that's actually a highly lewd act in the UK
and they didn't want to disturb the market
so they're like you know what bones and badges
could also be like a like a Yale secret society
yeah dude welcome to bones and badges
speaking a little dicks
you couldn't make it into skull and bones
so here you are at plan B bones and badges
it's kind of the same thing
but we don't have as great funding
and we're not as secret
so wait wait so some of the bones
from skull and bones can hang out
but like the skulls
do not
the skulls wouldn't associate
if you pledge skull and bones
you get ranked to skull
you don't have to worry about it
you don't go anywhere
don't have to associate with badges
you never have to worry about money
but B you never have to fucking deal
with those badges oh god wait a second
are skull and bones
broken up into skulls and bones
I don't think so
but I think it would be a good idea
because I do think
the bones would hang out
with the other bones
of bones and badges
Yeah I mean
you got bones go together
I do think that yeah
I think it would work
Or is bones and badges
Like a fraternal cop organization
Oh that could be too
Yeah
Like for the you know
They pay for funerals or something
Or it's like a secret society
Like the stone cutters
Yeah
Yeah
So anyway
This dude
finally gives up the information because he doesn't want his dick shot off like she's smart it totally
works you're right just violating every law there ever was she's a hard-nosed detective dude it's the
1980s used to it torture is totally accepted it's true for don't forget where you are dude
1987 87 movie world don't forget where you are united states period underline the end i think
we're post cruising so the cops can do anything at this point yeah i think we are
our post-cruising. 87? Yeah, we're post-cruising
for sure. So, yeah, the gobs
do anything they like. Hey, Sam Elliott,
hips or lips?
Well, depends upon what part of that
main. Definitely hips. I'm going to
go with hips on this one. So the dude
gives up the address to Brad Terps
like slum compound
and it's like
this guy knows security. Like,
hey, Sam Elliott, why don't you start taking
notes at this abandoned
department complex? Let's see
here. The drug money
goes to the
you know, you got beautiful eyes
solely.
I don't want to lose this thread
because when she's doing this, you know,
she tells Sam Elliott that she's got a date
and to like back off.
But he's still following her.
And like before she goes to this restaurant
to meet this guy, she sees this
dress in the window.
Oh, man. This is so dumb.
Right? And she's like, how much is it
the waitress? The woman
in the store. The clothes waitress.
The clothes waitress comes up to take her order, her clothes order, and she's like, I'll start with this dress.
And how much is it? And she says five. She holds up five. And we'll be like 500. And she's like, no, 5,000. And you're like, okay, for some reason this movie is telling me that this dress costs $5,000. And apparently you wanted to just tack three minutes onto your fucking runtime for no reason.
We're already in an hour and 46 minutes. Thanks a lot. So, so Mike Marcheck.
By the way, after he, she shoots out his tire to stop him from following her.
Oh, that's right.
But Mike Marchick always finds a way, you know.
He just starts walking like T-1000.
Yeah, he won't give up.
And he's wearing sunglasses at night during this whole part.
What the hell is that about?
What the hell is that about?
It's being the coolest goddamn person I've ever seen in a movie.
It's because of his angel eyes.
And I must, I agree.
We really do need to stress just like how much this main is working for him.
Oh, it's so good.
I'm picturing it right now
No honestly
Look folks at home
Go to our Facebook page
And look at this
Pictures of this man
You have to look at it
It's the most gorgeous
Head of Hair I've ever seen
He survives this
This man tucks in all the t-shirts
He survives
He t-shirt and he's still
Sexually Attractive
Oh my God he pulls it off so good
It's so unbelievable
Unbelievable
The man's just so goddamn handsome
So he buys that dress
And it's just like
I'm going to give that
to my Italian lady a little later.
I just have $5,000
lying around.
By the way, what was that, like,
with inflation, what is that, like
$68,000?
That's right.
For this piece of shit?
Well, we don't know much about late 80s fashion.
I guess that's true.
Maybe it is, but I don't know, but the point is
he buys this for a person that
he's not in any way
related to. They're not dating,
they're nothing he's kind of just following her through this whole movie yeah being like hey uh whoopi
you know i'm head of security you need any assistance in your legitimate police investigation
or hey rizoli uh would it be weird if i asked to hold your hand just for uh five minutes
it's a standard head of security procedure um i i might stare in your eyes as well but uh god i just would
of to hold your hand.
Mr. Crowe said I should get a feel for you.
I take everything Mr. Crowell says very literally.
This is your lifeline.
Yesterday.
It's very long.
Yesterday told me to piss up a tree.
What did I do?
I dropped my drawers and I pissed in the air.
I dropped my drawers and said,
How far up do you need me to go, Mr.
Croll?
Call that the limbo shot.
So she like undercovers her way in there
under the pretense of like she's looking to score
of some coke and
she goes in there some dude like this is the slum city now
this slum area this looks like fucking
children of men this looks like
the apocalypse is happening
it's like the later black market town like the later
death wishes yeah yeah
like the atomic zone
they live in in a fucking movie
dude it's the you're totally right
it's the exact same thing I think that's death
wish too
two or three or like
or like Robocop two or three
It's an old dystopian nightmare.
It's so you're just like, what's going on?
And it's kind of like children of the corn.
There's like little children like kind of running parts of it.
There's men casually walking with machine guns, smoking a cigarette, like going through the market.
Like it's no big deal.
It's so crazy.
It's like a whole town.
And she waltzes right in like, I'm looking to score some fatal beauty please.
And they're like, oh, right this way up to our customer service floor.
Oh man.
You know what they did?
they made Amsterdam.
Dude, it's totally
Hamsterdam.
That's exactly what it is.
Hamsterdam from the wire.
And it's working.
It's working fine.
They're all there.
It's working.
Brad Durf is just doing nice and fine.
Dude, do you think the character of Bunny Colvin
was a fan of the film Fatal Beauty?
He probably had to watch it
just to get prepared.
That's where he got the idea for Hamsterdam, possibly.
I think so.
He's sitting at home like, man,
the streets of Baltimore are horrible.
You know what's great? It's because I haven't seen the wire.
I'm just thinking about hamsters getting high now.
So anyways, she goes in.
Some dude, like a child is like, I know that woman to be an undercover police officer.
So he goes and gets like the big guns, Brad Durif and the glass eating guy.
Yeah.
And they like go down to like take her out or whatever.
She like corners this guy who's working as like the drug rings accountant.
Yeah.
Like he's doing all the books.
Counting the money.
You know?
And it's like, where's all these drugs coming from, this, that, the other thing.
Like, trying to get him to admit, like, that Kroll's involved.
And then there's just this intense shootout.
And Sam Elliott, like, rolls in.
And they're just, like, blasting people left and right.
And this scene, like, the accountant gets murdered.
A lot of people get murdered.
Like, Brad Duref is doing most of the murdering.
Frankenstein's kind of getting in the action.
Like, the end of the shootout is like, all right, like, they got away.
let's get out of here or whatever and the ceiling falls on Whoopi Goldberg's face and it's it's intense man
because you see this stunt double for Whoopi right she just like looks up and you can see this
prop ceiling fall on this woman's face first of two humongous things that fall on her that she
survives you're totally right wait are we are we counting Mike Marcheck
Mike Marcheck's mustache right on them lips she pulled him snugly atop her
so she's like briefly in the hospital and it's like well we've been two minutes without some insane shootout
better have another one Brad Durif rolls up like he calls the uh like police department pretending
to be a priest or something and finds out what like what hospitals she was taken to
great police work yeah so he rolls up with like a fake gift box and there's a gun inside it like
He's a 1920s gangster.
Or like the Joker.
Yeah, it's a Joker movie.
It's a big time Joker movie.
Like he's trying to break into this hospital to murder Don Corleone, you know, late at night.
And so he starts firing at Sam Elliott.
He gets, you think he gets shot and it's so hilarious.
Or no, this is Ruben Blades.
Ruben Blades is also the hospital.
And he recognizes Brad Durf on the elevator door.
Yeah, it's Rubin Blades.
Because Sam Elliott's with rolling, I think, still.
And it's so hilarious because Durf gets.
like he cracks the gun or whatever and i think he gets a shot off and rubin blades falls down and
you're like oh shit the other partner got shot and sam elliott comes up like hey you okay buddy
and he's like yeah i just twisted my ankle like what are you doing how about a little
professionalism stand on your own two feet dummy it just makes it like imagine if that was like
really it though like he's he's actually trying to shoot bradurf and he just twists his ankle real
hard and he's like
I mean, you know, there's a couple
of times where this movie totally takes a nose
dive into like no pace
whatsoever. Plateau land. So yeah,
why not have a whole scene where he's like
grabbing his ankle or something? It would add
some much needed realism, you know?
Yeah. Just a pinch.
That's all I need. Just a little pinch.
Now is this around time where James Ogross's
entire like circle of friends
dies? That's exactly what it is
because they go back
to Whoopi's house and James LaGroes
is sleeping on the couch.
Oh, yes.
And Sam Elliott's like, look out.
I'm going to shoot this punk kid right in the head.
And she's like, no, no, no.
This is a child that I know.
Is this your boyfriend?
Yeah, totally.
Is this before or after they sleep with each other, by the way?
I think before.
It's before.
Okay, so I'm, I spoiled a little bit.
Yeah, well, speaking of which, should we say what happened?
What was cut from the film?
No, well, we'll say it when we get to it.
We're not there yet.
All right.
So, stay tuned for a cutting.
So, he's,
like oh whoopee goldberg i didn't know what else to do you're finally home i was at this party and i had a
bunch of that cocaine with me and everybody wanted to do the coke but i wanted to go swimming first
so i went swimming while everyone else did this coke and when i came back they were like this
and like he takes them to the house and it's just a room full like 10 dead kids like they died mid
party like all at the same time like it's like the called open of an x files episode like you open
this door and there's just kids like holding
glasses with like beers in it
or something just all dead and frozen
it's also like a really bad
fucking after school special like they
only wanted to party
and you can tell it drives at home because like
Sam Elliott looks like he's like
wait white people are starting
to die from this
oh no
Rzoli
us white people like Italians like us
are starting to die for
Oh, bloody Italian suckers.
But she gets really pissed at him around this time, too,
because he works for Mr. Drugsar.
Right, and he refuses to believe that Harris Eulen could be wrapped up in this.
Right.
Which, again, if you are the head of security, you know the score,
or you should if you're a good head of security.
She starts yelling at him how he let it slide.
He let things slide.
Also, if you're working for some guy,
and the guy wants you all to see his dick when he goes out,
out and fuck it does his morning laps you might start thinking there's something off about this guy he
has a little bit of an ego at you maybe but that's you know not going to immediately take you to
be in a drug dealer but i would start looking around because that shit's weird actually yeah no it would
for me rule number one what an odd leap to make so it brings us to the most hilarious scene in
this movie it's so good because she's like
okay James LaGroess where did you get this Coke from and he's like oh you know my mom so she's like all right well I'm gonna go talk to your mom about all this be right back and she goes and this woman is like just finishing up a game of doubles tennis she's having this big party you know she's a big L.A. so and so and Whoopie just walks in and she's like listen I've got some bad news about your son and this woman is very cold you know just like oh five
about him I gave him his chances right off the bat um actually the caterers come out through
back oh yeah oh she totally thinks whoopies working for the catering company yeah and the
freaking badge is right there she's got a don johnson jacket on oh yeah got a huge badge hanging
off it she knows exactly who this is oh were you in badges and bones in college too okay
well the catering truck is around back and whoopies like hey listen stop for a second like
your son's in serious trouble like he said that he gave he got this coke from you these kids are
dead like you know and she's just like well whatever yeah she totally doesn't give a shit and
whoopie's getting pissed and she's like all i need to do is find out where you got it from i'm
trying to chase the chain of command you know of this coke and everything it's killing people
and she's like i don't know what you're talking about blah blah blah and this woman punches
whoopi Goldberg in the face
like out of nowhere
and you're just like holy shit
like you just punched a police detective
lady like this is gonna end badly for you
and then it gets even better
because whoopi punches her in the face
and then like kicks her in the crotch or something
they start this fight
they go for it
yeah and then Mike Marcheck's hanging back
on two ladies fighting
Mike can get used to this
hey Mike Marchack's gonna give him a minute or two
I think that's what's going to happen.
Let kitties play.
It's what it says right here.
I'm my bicep.
And whoopee punches this woman through a plate glass window.
Oh, yeah.
And it's so awesome because it's like this snooty garden party.
And you just see like this totally like shaded window.
And this woman explodes out of it.
And you're like, holy fuck, she's dead.
But then she just gets right back up like they live.
And again, exactly like Beverly Hills cop.
Yeah.
It's like.
We're going for the carbon copy here.
So they're having this fight.
And then Sam Elliott comes over like,
what are you doing?
This is looking bad for business.
If Mike Marchak was a legitimate police officer,
he wouldn't be acting like this.
And she's like,
okay,
you're right,
you're right,
you're right.
And while Sam Elliott is holding Whoopi back,
this woman gets another sucker punch in.
Yeah,
it's like he's helping her.
It's like,
I'll hold her down for you.
And then Whoopie like gets the final blow
and knocks this woman.
into the pool. Like, it's totally humiliated. And the piranhas
get her? God, that would be great. Like, oh, no, it looks like you punched her into the
piranha tank. No, no, no, Ving Rames. Don't go in there. And so
he, like, they just leave. And this is like, they go back to her apartment or
whatever. And he's like, why are you so pissed off about it? Like, something
set you off. Like, now you're not throwing out fun one-liners. You're, like,
beating the shit out of people. And then,
the movie completely stops dead
and she gives this whole story
about how she used to be addicted
to drugs. While she was addicted
to drugs, she got pregnant
she had this child, this
that and the other thing. How the hell did you become a cop
in this after this? Well this
you know these people make the best cops
man like you have street connections
you know what's going on. You know what I've heard
that there's a thin line between
cop and criminal. It's true.
It's something they've made
most movies about it.
You know that genre, a cop movie?
Yeah.
Like that like sub-action genre?
Like every one of those movies is about that.
That thin line that you're talking about?
I'm just saying I've noticed.
Excuse me, movies.
I've noticed.
Just little redundancies here.
Eric Siska, the last movie detective you would ever call.
Oh, man.
How far is Eric movie fallen?
Well, he doesn't like working with cliche.
Well, but this man, this is just priming him for his combat.
Yeah.
The big case that brings him back.
It's like the wrestler.
Yeah, exactly.
But with cops.
And you don't, you know.
That's my movie pitch.
So then also somewhere in the sob story, there's something about like she went out to get,
like score some drugs or something.
and her kid died.
But she came back and I think the kid
might have like storted the drugs
or done the drugs. Oh, yes. That's exactly
what it is I think is she leaves
drugs out to like go get
other drugs or something
and her kid does drugs and
like kills himself. So like
that's like you're sitting there like where
are all those one liners
that I was having such a good time
with? Where's Brad Duriff being a psychopath?
Sam Elliott's main is
even looking a little flat in the scene.
Like just the air is getting sucked out of this movie
And you're like
Hey Beverly Hills Cop didn't have this scene
And you know what?
Sick Boy was never the same again
It just something left him man
It's just so out of nowhere
I could have used like a flashback or something
With a dead baby crawling on the ceiling
Yeah, of course
Of course
A little underworld score
Just for everybody
To keep the thing moving
And then maybe something
maybe transition into something light like
Forest Gump. Which, by the way, I don't want to over
over harp on this, but
they also, the entire score
is exactly like the Beverly Hillscott. Like they use
certain pieces of it. Isn't it this?
It's the same composer, I think. Is it?
I think it might be. Because it sounds almost identical.
Oh, we should get the internet ticker back up on that one.
I'm almost positive because like
towards the end, specifically there's two pieces
that are like, I'm not getting you
two notes different from songs in the Verlil's cop score.
you're like how that what a crazy turn this movie just took like it's so depressing i sure hope
there aren't any more left turns and then they're like you know what would be good right now
a sex scene and like they just start making out and you're like what and it just cuts to the next
day yeah same composer yeah nice what's the fellow's name harold flattermeyer there you go
That explains it.
So, Eric, this is where you were saying that there was an actual love scene cut out of the movie.
Apparently, yeah, they say it's a love scene on the internet, but you know what that means?
That means a sex scene.
Which you have to believe this is like some shit-ass racist, like nobody wants to see that.
Yeah, that's probably where the idea was to cut it out or maybe test audiences were like, oh, I can't believe this.
Here's my question, though.
It says love scene, or to say sex scene.
It says love scene, but you know, you know that means shirtless Sam Elliott, and we've been deprived of it now.
Well, sure.
And don't get me wrong.
I'm just as incensed as you.
I need to see them nips.
Don't get him wrong, everybody.
I got to see them nips.
But when somebody says love scene, I almost immediately think that the thing has to look like the sex scenes in the room.
Like super soft lighting like love scene.
I mean soft-core pornography?
Yes, the borderline soft-core pornography.
Well, that's the same thing.
Like, Atonement, that's kind of the same as the room in terms of love scenes.
It's true.
A love scene from the Duchess.
You know, it's just like the room, right?
Yes.
Those movies are on the same level.
Similar, yes.
At least seen, certain scenes.
When's that guy going to wash up on the bed of a river somewhere, huh?
Five years.
Oh, yeah, you're getting the Tommy Wizo death clock out?
oh man he would be a good
I think he'd be a good bet
in the death pool right
yeah I think it's not a bad one
he would be the wild card dude
because that's like at any time
but yeah that's that's the thing
is that you could pull that out of your pocket
anytime like until you know
it obviously happens
well then you'd feel terrible
but honestly you'd be like
I know
yeah I mean it was
makes sense to me
I mean you know what I mean
I mean balloons they take a while
to hit the ground but eventually
he gave us one
classic film though
he sure did
He only directed one film
Just like the great Charles Lawton
Just directed one great film
Tommy Weizzo in the same category as Charles Lawton
The Knight of the Room
Is he gonna be he's gonna be doing something else now right
He's got some like piece of shit web series or something
That they like premiered part of or some nonsense
The day that that premieres Williamsburg
Their like bandwidth is gonna be nothing
Dude they played a sneak preview of it downtown
Like six months ago and of course it was sold out
Packed house. Packed. Packed. Packed, giving this guy money. Packed. Oh, okay. Yeah. Give that guy money.
Meanwhile, oh, wait, there's moths in my pocket.
Yeah, that's our life.
Eric Siska, an impoverished cartoon character. I am. He goes to take the bus and he opens his wallet and the cartoon moth flies out.
He's named the maw. Charlie the moth.
That's happened.
who lives in my wallet.
Charlie got out.
So they wake up the next morning and she's in the shower and Mike Marchak has taken off, I believe.
Yes.
And he sneaks back in with food or something.
Anyway, this is where she gets a phone call that Fatal Beauty has now taken the lives of grade school children.
Yeah.
And here's another five-minute scene.
First of all, grade school children, if you're listening, don't start doing blow.
Yeah, don't do.
I mean, I don't even know, like, she says it's an 8 year old, like a 10 year old and a 12 year old, I think.
Oh, wait. I'm sorry. She gets this information before the sex scene because this is what...
Oh, that's what puts her in the mood.
No, this is what launches her into that, the big story about her past.
Oh, right. Because it reminds her of her child who also died. And the whole thing takes forever. It's like 15 minutes.
But yeah, she... There's three kids. It's 8, 10, and 12, I think. And they,
They're all dead.
If I was an eight-year-old and they were like, here's drugs.
I don't know if I'd know what to do with it.
I mean, you know, you don't know what kids know.
Oh, with nowadays with the internet?
Nowadays, but this is 1987.
Oh, yeah.
In 1987 days?
Well, it's a lot harder to figure out.
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe they ate it.
They don't mean, I don't exactly say to defend this movie.
They didn't say that they rolled up a $50 bill and snorted it off a mirror.
They just say that somehow the kids got into the drugs and killed them.
We're not talking about an 8-year-old in like a white-collared shirt.
Cutting up lines on a mirror.
It just has a mirror in his pocket.
Look, Chris, I know how much you want this, but it is not an 8-year-old or a 10-year-old.
Reenacting the motoring scenes from boogie nights dancing around with a dude snapping things.
They should totally do this where like these babies are coked out and stuff.
It would be like Baby Genius's sequel, like after like.
We, you know, we're in the slump period now.
So then it's just like, we have to get these guys.
And there's a, the final stakeout, which, like, there's a parade going on.
I don't, I don't know.
There's so much bullshit going on.
The movie starts to drag some serious ass.
Yeah.
Well, it's ever since she got the news that those kids got killed.
It's just been going downhill.
It's hitting the brakes.
Backstories, sob stories, useless sex scenes, the whole thing.
So now she's just like.
following all of these guys around
like she knows who the dealers are
and blah blah blah so she's like following all these
people and whatever man it just leads
out to a big shootout in a sporting
good store or something well that's my problem
with this movie in general is that
this whole sequence is
the last sequence of the movie
and it goes on for
like 20 minutes this whole
whole thing from her
following Marcheck to this place and then
doing the whole thing and a lot
of that is this entire movie this entire
movie are like huge scenes going on forever in the same area.
I think there's like five scenes in this movie.
And it's really monotonous. And like it gets boring real quick. And that's why this when even
when it's a big shootout, it's not that good. I'm sorry that the action shootout at the end of
this picture didn't live up to your standards. Mike Marchak usually tries to do better as a head
of security, head of shootout security. Unless there's a fine young woman.
in my eye line.
Then I might not be as good as you
you want. He is kind of useless
in this movie. He's completely used. He's just like
I'm the head of secure. I check
the clipboard. Are you on the list? It's
kind of awesome because he's almost
literally eye candy. Oh yeah.
It's great. It's kind of really cool.
And it fucking pays off because my eyes
were getting fucking a sugar
high. Yeah. Looking at this
hunk. Oh no. It's a pixie stick.
Oh, yeah. This mane of hair is just out of
control. I just, I had
no idea that back in
1987, because I haven't seen this movie
before we were going to do this episode.
Right.
And be still my heart.
Oh, I couldn't believe it.
I might almost give you another heart attack here.
There's a movie where he has almost this exact same
look called Lifeguard, where he plays a
lifeguard.
Is this a stay tuned situation?
It might very well be.
It's a bit of a love story.
Oh, yeah.
So it's so prepare yourselves.
That's pretty great.
But the main is in full effect.
Oh, the main's nice.
And he's a lifeguard, so you know, it gets wet.
All shirtless.
Nothing but shirtless scenes.
He's got the mustache, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yes, it's all the mustache.
I don't appreciate, like, nowadays Sam Elliott, where he is indeed moustacheless.
I don't like it.
You know, on Parks and Rack.
Yeah. That character is great.
It's really fun.
Oh, I love it.
They brought him back in this final season for a little scene with Ron Swanson, and it's, like, amazing.
But, oh, man, just without that mustache,
it's like, what are you doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like the image, you know,
God forbid the day that Sam Elliott goes.
Yeah.
The last image I'm going to have of him is Big Lobowski.
Oh, yeah.
Right, of course.
But I feel like this mustacheless is just to make him look more haunting and scary for
Justified.
Yes.
Because he looks like a scarecrow that came to life.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
I'm sorry.
I haven't started that final season yet.
Sam Elliott's unjustified?
Yeah, he's like the main.
villain. Yeah. So
once you sit back. Let's wrap this up so I can
get on justified. Oh my God, that's awesome.
Good for him. All right. So this shootout's
happening. Everybody gets blown away, right? Like you think
Brad Durif's dead. He pops up and shoots
Sam Elliott. Not fatally.
He just goes down. And then it's like
another Marchek down. We got a
Marcheck down. That's a head of securities down. Has
anyone found Mr. Kroll.
Oh, by the way, yeah, he pops back in.
Harris Eulen pops back in at the start of this whole scene
and is instantly murdered by Brad Duref.
I don't even think he gets two words in.
Like, Whoopi's like, all right, you're coming with me.
I'm going to arrest you, Kroll.
And then Brad Derv's like, not so fast.
Well, that's at the end.
Harris Eulen does start the whole scene giving Marcheck some lip
because he has been not doing his job at all.
He hasn't.
First of all, Mark, Chuck, you haven't showed up to work in weeks.
Five days.
Hey, Marchek, remind me why I'm paying you $375,000 a year to be my head of security.
He touches his mustache and he's like, lip service.
You want a good yes man in your morning.
You always said that my hair did it for you.
So I figured that was worth a pretty penny.
Me and my team put up with your nonsense skinny dipping.
That's why I'm here.
But, you know, if you want, you could just start to pay me in a Sioux City, Sasparilla.
And, you know, a pair of Bahama Mama shorts, not that expensive.
It gets hot on the job.
So Brad Durf, like, runs into this parking garage or whatever.
And Whoopi goes after him and, like, puts two in his back or something.
He falls down.
He gets back up again and, you know, Whoopi shoots him again.
And, like, he's just getting, like, oh, ah, but he keeps walking.
and you're like, oh, shit.
Like, he did the fatal beauty like that dude.
And then it's just like, no, bulletproof vest.
But that's what doesn't make any sense is he's been doing this fucking fatal beauty.
He has been doing it the whole movie.
And, like, it's not like, yeah, he, and it doesn't affect him at all.
Because what, what, he's got a good resistance built up.
I mean, I guess, but, like, it's not even like he goes crazy.
He's of sound mind the entire fucking time.
Sound minds?
Well, as far as evil fucks go.
Yeah, as sound of mind
as Braddorff characters ever get it.
But fake Kramer, the medical examiner,
states, like,
the second you take this,
like you go insane and then you die.
And it's not like if you're in Mensa,
it doesn't work on you or something like that.
Like there's poison in it.
Yeah.
And it's killing people instantly.
And he's starting to shit 24-7.
It killed that whole after-school special.
Maybe the Reaper is like,
tied up or he's in league with the devil somehow.
I mean, I feel like Marchek is kind of sleeping on both jobs.
Yeah.
Because he's not really doing the Reaper's stuff at all.
Reaper is racking up numbers in this movie.
Yeah.
And then like, he's not that whole party.
He's killing left and right.
He's really having a field day on it.
And then like, Reaper loves killing.
On the other side of it, he's not, Harris Eulen could have been shot 75,000 times.
And then he does get shot.
And then finally he does get shot.
It's shot because Marchek's not doing his job.
And then Sam Elliott just sees what's going on.
He's like, oh, I'm sorry, everybody.
That one's on me.
Dead hair is Eulen over there is on me.
And then he shoots himself in the gut and says, I've got to go to the hospital.
Oh, you know what?
I'm calling out sick for the rest of this movie.
I got shot.
Sorry.
Still get a purple movie heart, though, right?
It actually states in my contract with Mr. Eulen that if I'm shot on the job,
a million bucks.
Mike Marchek
Ultimate Insurance Scammer
That would be great if he was totally bogus
Called it the Marcheck ultimatum
Oh my god
That'd be a good novel
The Marchack ultimatum
Yeah totally dude
Someone write a shitties fine novel
They programmed me to be the head of security
Turns out they didn't do too good of a job programming me
I'm okay I guess
So then it's it's kind of
awesome exchange at the end here
because Durf rips his shirt
open to reveal the Bulletproof vest
and he's like Kevlar
bitch and then she pulls out
a gun and shoots him in the head
and she's just like Smith and
Wesson bitch and you're like
fuck yeah
that's awesome
why doesn't she do that on the view
that would be something
yeah Whoopi won
of course she always wins
Yeah. Let's, let's not be silly. The woman's egotted already.
She's great. I love who he's queen of it all.
So then it's so, man, the end of this movie. Right. So like, of course Marcheck's not dead. He's going to be totally fine.
Oh, no. Yeah. He'll live the romance another day. And it's crazy because she's just, he's like, oh, I don't know. It's going to take me long to recover. I don't know if I'm going to be okay. And she looks down and like plants a big wet one on him.
And she's just like, you're going to be just fine.
And, like, dumps him in the ambulance.
And then she pulls off in her super cool pink Cadillac.
End of movie.
And of any potential Rosoli franchise options also.
Instant credits.
Yeah, totally.
It's like the movie dragged so much ass to get there.
And then it just ended too fast on that.
No.
And, you know, honestly, how do you miss this opportunity?
This final scene in the mall's stakeout, this is where he finally reveals.
he's like, look, I'm undercover.
I've been working this case for five years or whatever.
My name's not even Mike Marchak.
It's Mike Harchak.
Instead, he's like, look, I'm, uh,
to be honest, I'm unemployed now.
That man that you just murdered, murdered my boss.
So I'm unemployed.
I got like probably a month on the lease, at least.
But, uh, I should also mention that Mike Marchack has approximately zero.
savings. But Marcheck
has quite more than zero
debt. I think
Mike Marcheck's
going to need to move in with you for a little
while. And
Rezoli, why don't you pick up some Coors
banquet beers on your way home?
Turns out Mike
Marcheck loves gambling.
Turns out
Mike Marcheck ain't no good
at gambling.
Mike Marcheck is not
responsible.
She just
shoots him in the head and dries away. I can't deal with this.
I'm sorry. Goodbye. Do you think if this movie had been
like way more successful than it was and it got like franchised? The third movie would
have been Whoopi Goldberg running around a fake amusement park? I would hope so.
Like that piece of shit third Beverly Hills cop movie? I thought I would think it'd be like
George Lucas would show up. Well no I would think it'd be more like lethal up and four
where she finds out that Marcheck's pregnant. Marchek the man is pregnant.
It's like Junior then.
Junior.
Yeah, that's not Leithin'Levin'4.
That's Junior with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yeah, I don't know.
This movie, it's not exactly a sequel setup, but it's totally like a...
You can do something with this.
Well, it's because it's totally a...
Remember this pink Cadillac, everybody.
Yeah.
Because the teaser trailer for the second movie is definitely just going to be close up on a pink Cadillac.
And then we like pan up a little bit and it's...
We'll be putting the sunglasses down.
But you can't do that because people are going to think it's a...
sequel to Pink Cadillac.
With the Clean Newswood movie?
That's possible.
Not a great one. Yeah.
You would also have to change the title of your franchise unless the movie was actually
about, oh no, now someone else is selling Fatal Beauty?
Like it wouldn't be able to be a complete.
No.
She's also a fatal beauty because she's a pretty lady that kills people.
No one is fucking thinking about that for the title of this movie.
internet idiot if you want to make a sequel just go with that well i mean you can also like get like
just another like fatal like elegant shit or like chris cavans elegant shit you should have directed
it or a pineapple express yeah it's like oh or they could call it oh how about this the movie is
called fatal snooty right and she has to go undercover at some country club with snooty no snooty
Well, I'm saying, but for, okay.
No, because presumably this movie would be made like a year or so later, so it would be
1989 and Snooky was fucking 10 years old.
Oh, I thought we were going for a 2016 or relaunch.
No, I'm not relaunching this movie of 2016.
What he's talking about is putting these characters into another fantastical situation,
such as like a caddyshack as soon.
By Bushwood!
Yes, exactly.
She has to go to a Bushwood type place undercover.
Her and Mike Marchak play, like, a couple who's going to, like, get, you know,
they're being considered for membership for this club, right?
They have to kill Jackie Mason.
Because he bought Bushwood.
You?
Then they're going to turn it into a mini golf course.
Yeah.
And then Marcheck's like, going to be putting on the, he's like, I could get used to this,
Rizzoly.
This has got some primo.
I just putted my ball right into that funny looking dog.
a giant dog statue you know what dogs
tail wagged when i did
dude i would love to go mini golfing with sam elliott
god that'd be incredible because you know what he's saying at least three times is
you know this is a lot more fun than i thought it would be
also you're going to probably hear at least one
hole in one oh yeah you're goddamn right i am
would anybody recommend
Fatal Beauty?
I would, see, the thing is, I was
watching this, and like the first
35, 40 minutes, I was like, hell
yeah, I'm going to recommend Fatal Beauty.
And then the last
hour. Yeah.
Thank you. I was like,
oh, no, I'm not.
It just, it drags
too much. I mean, the
start is, you're off to the races.
Right. Yeah. It's ridiculous.
It's like a seeing as believing, especially
just for the profanity alone.
Yeah.
Yeah, the language in this movie, right?
Yeah, but yeah, no.
It's a very mild recommend.
It is to me, seeing as believing, because Whoopi Goldberg did a lot of, like, really stupid movies in this time.
Juppet Jack Flash, which is really stupid.
That's a bad one.
That's a bad one.
Bergler is really stupid.
She went right into the 90s with making stupid movies, though, because Eddie's a really stupid movie.
Eddie and the associate, the associate, Theodore Rex.
is incredibly stupid. Ghost is a great movie and I'm kind of like okay with the first sister
act. That second one totally sucks. Um, yeah, I mean, but you're saying like for a Whoopi Goldberg
movie, this is a, this is a better than average Whoopi Goldberg movie. I like this. I certainly
like this better than Burglar. Um, there you go, everyone. Bergler, you've all seen
burglar. It's really bad. Um, no, I mean, it's, it is to me more of a seeing as believing. I think
you see it once you've seen it and then you're
done with it. It's not like a repeat
it's not so bad that you can repeatedly watch
it and get a lot more fun out of it.
I think you watch it once and you get what you get
out of it. I don't think it's a movie
that you could like sit around with a bunch of friends
and make fun of in a group or anything but what I will
say about this movie two things. One
just looking at pictures alone of that
mane of hair does nothing for it.
You need to see scenes of this
in motion. It has to react to its environment.
Yeah, this may really important. It's breathing.
This main in a gun fight is fantastic. It's a great partner to have in a gun fight. It's dodging bullets. Like it's Keanu Reeves. Well, there was one scene that we didn't get to talk about whether they are in the slum house. And Brad Durf's about to shoot his head off from the back. And you can tell the Maine tells him that Brad Durf is behind him. And he hits it right at the right moment it moves.
You're totally right. I would also say that this is to me a good, because it was the first time.
I watched this movie was this way.
Like a nice rainy Sunday
you're kind of hung over in the afternoon movie.
That would be. It's totally fine
because it's long enough that you're like
this will soak up a lot of the day.
But it's also like aside from
you know, the
grinding halt that it takes
when she starts talking about her past
life and whatever. Yeah.
Like everything else before that like I think it's totally
fine. It does be foreworn
crawl to a halt.
But no, perfect Sunday.
hangover movie, I'd say. That's
Fatal Beauty from 1987
