Yep, I get it, is one of the reasons I love this movie to this day. Danny's reimagining of Hamlet is probably my favourite part because you can see how Hollywood will add wanton levels of violence and action to anything to make a movie ( and a quick buck) Personally I would still like to see the full length version of Hamlet with Schwarzenegger.

+Bender B. Rodriguez I agree with you. I did not think this was a good movie by any stretch, and it was odd because the over all premise was clever. I think Doug usually does a far better job pointing the funny inconsistencies of most bad movies but he missed the mark on this one. Most people did get the object of the police station scene, and the joke about all the cameos. the "well trained" dog scene had me in tears I was laughing so hard. Unfortunately it was the only scene in the movie that got that response. I just watched it way back then more bored than entertained. I cannot put my finger on way, but you are right the self-mockery was obvious and one of the things I thought simply should have worked. Audiences obviously did not agree.

+Bender B. Rodriguez It's not its own genre, the movie itself it's mocking 90s stupidity and action movie clichés.

@@Joeinglez1 Thanks for reminding me that 6 years ago I impulsively defended Doug's content from everything.

I have a theory about why so many people seemed to dislike this movie: it came out way too early. It premiered just as the types of films it was mocking were beginning to turn stale, and the type of surrealist meta humor it was going for wouldn’t gain popularity for another 15 years or so... watching this movie with the benefit of 25 years of perspective, a lot of the jokes come off a subtle but clever jabs that didn’t explain themselves because the director respected the audience enough to trust that they would pick up on the satire without having it shoved in their faces. The result is a movie that holds up much better than a lot of the movies it was satirizing.

I just got it. This review is genius. This review is a parody of NC reviews. NC is parodying himself criticizing pointless details or missing the point altogether and getting annoyed at small inconsistencies. I mean, there is no chance that he is serious here.

Basic Instinct had the famous interrogation scene. The T-1000 pretended to be an LA cop, and went to the police station at some point for research. That is also why a cartoon police cat, a black & white Humphrey Bogart, and numerous odd pairing cop partnerships are there too. All police themed movies in a singular universe.

I love this movie and always saw it as the Last Action Movie. Basically having everything you'd find in your cheesy 80's action movie, while also spoofing it, on top of having another more realistic angle to show the parallel. What happens in the movie world is almost like a cartoon, to the point there's a cartoon cat, what happens in the real world has more impact while not being as flashy. Guns need to be reloaded, our movie hero's life is rather tragic if you think about it. He can have interests that might not seem manly. This movie is genius.

Actually really really like the scene where the daughter is screaming while she beats the shit out of the henchman. It makes it seem like she is being attacked and is trying to defend herself. If she wasn't screaming and they heard the crashing in the banging they would know that she was the one on attack and the other henchman would go help and she would get out number. But she was able to get the gun from him by making it seem like she was still the damsel and distress. Really clever idea.

I don't go around expecting NC to think the way I do. People are going to have different tastes than you. Got to accept it dude!

11:25 everything you are complaining about this movie is meant to be ironic. All the nonsense and cliches were done deliberately. It knows what it is and it is embracing it through the roof. Hell the movie even came with its own movie critic (yes the kid), to serve as a sort of mediator. Because it knew it was just going to fly over the heads of most critics. But it knew that it didn't need to explain itself to action movie buffs. It was funny love letter to 80s and early 90s action movie fans. So I say thank you John Mcteirnan and thank you Arnold for a great gift.

promontorium how can that take any amount of time to get? And he’s also getting kicked really far away. It works in a lot of different ways.

10:06 that would be awesome

The screaming was so that the people in the other room didn't know what was happening so that she can take them by surprise later. It was actually a pretty go if tactic.

Idk why, but the Nostalgia Critic's Arnold impression cracks me up xD

I just love the hundreds of people excusing every single flaw of this film because it's a parody. It's not like other parody films like "Epic Movie" and "Superhero Movie" are judged even though they're essentially parody omnibuses. :)

They arn't excusing the flaws of the film, its just the flaws he mentioned in the review arn't flaws of the film. They're pretty much the whole reason of the film which is to play into the parody theme. There are plenty of flaws in this movie, however NC didn't actually focus on any of them. He just took shots at things that most people rightly noted went over his head. I mean how can you make point out bad acting as being a flaw when they were doing bad acting to poke fun at bad B level action movies? Its like going to see a comedian, the comedian does an impersonation and you say "hey thats not his real voice". Doug simple missed the bar on this film completely and people obviously didn't feel the same way.

One of my favorite NC reviews and honestly he should have put this for Arnold Schwarzenegger Month! I don't get the hate for this one this is one awesome review!

Anyone here realize that this is a parody, right? An old one at that, so it may not have anything to do with Doug's real thoughts on the movie, you know......and I for one appreciate this as such, and enjoy it.

In this he completely glossed over the fact that this movie is meant to be satire and not taken so seriously. The NC did a bad job reviewing this, even though normally he is amazing.

+maryann ferrara he is missing the point without giving credit where credit is due like he has been doing better lately

after watching his video where he said he had to edit the audio in this review because he got one of the actors names wrong I can't "un hear" that small random bit of audio change.

It's a little strange watching Nostalgia Critic criticize a movie I've never seen and yet, just by watching his review, I can tell that I would disagree with him. The two Flintstones movies for example.

Angry Again by Megadeth Was One Of The Best Songs On The Movies Track

Someone seriously missed the point of the entire movie. I say no names.

The first time I saw this review all I could think of was how the hell Doug didn't get the couple of acres one liner, seriously, what is so hard to understand, I love ya Doug but hopefully a 10 year old has explained it to you by now.

I like how you keep the good mood throughout the videos. Keep up the good job, good luck with your channel

If you want to see Ian McKellan do Death is a movie where he's around for more than just a few minutes, look up Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. It's one of the few Discworld books that got a movie adaptation, and despite the very fake mask, he manages to bring the gravitas (and the way Death in the series SPEAKS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) of the character, while still hitting the more comedic parts of Pratchett's writing

For all the people who say he doesn't get its a spoof... YES HE DOES! LATER ON, HE SAYS THAT HE THINKS IT'S A BAD SATIRE OF ARNOLD MOVIES! SO LIGHTN UP! And for those who don't like the skits he does, he's trying to parody the movies he reviews. Like in Hocus Pocus, he's trying to overplay the goofiness in the movies. AI, he's blatantly making fun of TMZ, and trying to explain how close Spielberg and Quibrik were. Force Awakens: He's saying how similar it is to #4, and is also following up on a joke about a holiday with Gungans, a joke from his Star Wars Holiday Special Review. And just be glad he looks at these movies at all. For 10 years no less! So be thankful for these reviews. And just see all the likes he gets.

How can you not get this movie!? Its not that clever but it's clearly satire. You didn't even get the logical stuff. Like when Charles Dance explodes after being shot in the eye. It's because his glass eye is a bomb!? This was clearly explained earlier in the movie when one of these explosive glass eyes were used to blow up a building. I kind of get the impression that you think this movie is dumb, but the truth is I think the movie is smarter than you. Maybe you should watch it again and do a follow up, this movie has a lot of positives.

You forgot something, people. You forgot, that critic always one step further. He knew perfectly well we love 'Last Action Hero' - the parody on all those action movies of 80-s and 90-s. The positive review would be EXPECTED. And EXPECTED = BORING. Do you really need to be pointed out that 'well trained dogs' scene is funny? Hell, no, you dumbass, you know it yourself! You come here for some fresh opinion. Critic has put you out of you comfort zone, mocking the mocking movie. The whole video is mocking critic as well. His overreaction on some silly moments, screamings, seeing jokes from 'weird plot way' rather than 'funny' way. Hell, even comeos. Personally I was amazed to see 'Liquid terminator' (never got his name) walking out of the police station. Few seconds and so much happy memories giving you chills. Critic mocked it as unnecessary and stupid. This is the mocking video of itself on the mocking video of it's genre.

FUN FACT: This was the first movie with the 1993 Columbia Pictures logo. In the theatrical/pre 1998 DVDs/Streaming versions the original 1993 fanfare is there (the one with synths more audible). The post 1998 DVDs and Blu-Ray have the 1998 version of the fanfare

Nearly 9 years after first watching this, and I still think it is NC's worst review.

20:55 those two lines rhymed!

JOKE: Why did the chicken cross the road? EVERYONE: To get to the other side THIS GUY: Well firstly, why are we talking about a chicken? Secondly, why is there some fictional scenario in which chickens have the ability to navigate roads in a human-like fashion? Thirdly, in such a scenario, wouldn't there be so many reasons why a chicken might be walking across a road that that it's a redundant question. It's like asking "why did the man get out of bed?" because that question is so broad that it has infinite answers. He probably has a job, a family, an entire life filled with activities, all of which involve getting out of bed. You could ask "Why did the man get out of bed at 5AM?" and the punchline might be that he had a flight to catch... you know. That would be a little more specific than just "Why did the chicken cross the road?". A better start to that question might be "Why did the chicken cross the road on a Sunday?" ... Because that at least narrows down the potential reasons why someone might cross a road due to what day of the week it is.

As goofy as this movie was, I liked it.

last action hero is one of the best satirical comedies ever made. brilliant movie. im surprised that the whole thing seems to have gone way over your head

Only after reading "Godel, Escher, Bach" I realized how deep was that movie. I still enjoyed the heck of it even before.

Robert Patrick's cameo made about as much sense as it did in Wayne's world though to be honest ha.

I think Arnold means : achers - as in made up word for 2 aching balls, which he turned into to a pun on acres.

Last Action Hero has most of the right ingredients for a big-budget action spoof, but its scattershot tone and uneven structure only add up to a confused, chaotic mess.
