The movie was a box office flop because the studio didn't know how to market it. It was the 90s and they didn't know how to market a "girl boss" movie. In an interview, Samuel L. Jackson said that tried to tell them to just market it during daytime soaps and women would drag their men to see it. But 10 months earlier Geena Davis' _Cutthroat Island_ was a mega-flop and the studio had no confidence it her. Too bad, the writer, Shane Black had planned for a sequel. This was the reason that the ending was changed to make Samuel L. Jackson's character Mitch survive.

Geena Davis doesn't get enough credit for being such a badass action star especially during that time, she's such a trailblazer. Plus she was elevated by Shane Black's excellent writing and putting modern Hollywood to shame. To think I watched this as a kid and was so enamored with her, plus Craig Bierko was a true evil bad guy with no redeeming qualities. Samuel L. Jackson had so much chemistry with her and he considers this one of his favourite movies.

She is also an Olympic caliber archer and can take an eyeball out at 100 yards with a bow and arrow, so never underestimate her badassery. She is 100% as badass as she is beautiful and that's a fact!

Not only a fun film for Christmas, but I find this film to be one of the best action films of the 1990s! Shane Black's script is so good and the performances by Davis and Jackson are perfection! The action sequences are awesome and well laid out! I always find this a great watch - any time of the year, honestly!

One of my favourite action movies and a bit of an underappreciated gem.

The one liners in this movie!! "Yes yes, it was all very exiting. Tomorrow we are going to the Zoo." as well as so many others. Astutely one of my favorite Christmas movies.

This has always been one of my favorite action movies. Just intense action mixed with hilarious comedy. It works for me. For more Geena Davis badassery, I highly recommend Cutthroat Island.

Having been a fan of this film since I was a teenager I am glad channels like these are making it a cult classic it deserves to be.

The best description of this movie I ever heard was that “It’s a Bruce Willis movie where Geena Davis plays Bruce Willis’s role.”

I LOVE 'The Long Kiss Goodnight'. An unapologetic badass female who does not chase down the bad guys in high heels and a dress. I love when Mitch tells her to come save him and her response is 'It will be minute'. The end - she figures out she can be both - the person who loves to teach, be a mom AND still be a badass when needed.

About a week or so ago, a lot of little kids, probably 3-6 years old, maybe 7 I dare say tops and about 6 or 7 adults came thru the apartment complex I live in. They had Christmas music playing loud and the kids and adult were singing songs as they walked around the complex. "Jingle Bells", "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Silent Night" are the songs I could hear before they got to far to hear anymore. 52 years old and this, to the best I recall, is the only time I ever heard Carolers. It was so fun and cute to see those kids, wishing people a Merry Christmas between songs. Melted my heart.

“Five out of five stars. It is a Christmas movie, and if you disagree, you can catch these hands about it” And you have earned your like.

For me, any movie that takes place around or during Christmas time is a Christmas movie. Die Hard, Batman Returns, Gremlins, Edward Scissorhands, Just Friends, and The Long Kiss Goodnight are in that category. I was so excited to see you were gonna react to this, so glad you loved it! Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson are fantastic together, and of course the dastardly yet tasty Craig Bierko😍

I had a great time watching you have a great time. You asked, "What movie is this from," about the comedy on the old lady's TV. It is from the Three Stooges short, _Disorder in the Court._ The title seems to foreshadow the situation Samantha/Charlie will find herself in. Later in the movie we see Elliott Gould in a scene from the 1973 detective mystery, _The Long Goodbye._ I assume the similarity of the titles is the joke there. Let me put on your radar for next Summer the Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum Sci-Fi comedy, _Earth Girls Are Easy._ It is set in Southern California and much of the film Davis is in a bikini, so you'll be able to scream, "She's so tiny!" multiple times.

4:22 A former friend of mine worked on the practical effects for this movie, specifically the deer scene. It's an animatronic being puppeteered off screen.

Next to "Outbreak", this is my big sister's favorite movie. Also, I love Geena Davis...she's AWESOME. I can't explain that a woman just randomly chooses to pick up a bow at 40+ years of age and almost qualified for the Olympics. As someone who loves bow shooting (the sport, not the hunting option)...I have great aim. I was never strong enough. And physically, I couldn't get stronger...my health worked against me (asthma and other autoimmune diseases). Like she just DID the splits in "A League of Their Own". She didn't practice that.

For many years the combination of die hard and long kiss good night have been the movies of choice for my mother and I at holiday times, and "chefs do that" is our saying whenever anybody in real life or fiction does something insane / amazing

I watched this as a kid without knowing what the title was and loved it so much I searched for it for years before, again, randomly finding it on tv. This movie is so underrated.

"CHEF'S DO THAT... 😬" 😂😂😂😂

Christmas caroling is absolutely real. When I was a kid my church choirs, adult and kids choirs together, went caroling. Mostly to the homes of older people who couldn't get out much. What is not real, however, is running away from explosions or virtually anything else that happens in the action scenes. Way too over the top and completely unbelievable, but still a fun movie!

Prior to that moment, he actually appeared in the movie Predator (1987) as Hawkins (the guy in the glasses who was was telling dirty jokes), which he also served as the script doctor for. But Lethal Weapon placed him on the map as a creator, and nearly every one of his scripts either takes place completely during the Christmas season or has at least one scene that does. He would also write the script for The Last Boy Scout (1991), which starred Bruce Willis. He also written and directed Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005), which stars Robert Downey, Jr. (whom he would end up directing in Iron Man 3) and Val Kilmer. He also directed The Nice Guys (2016) with Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. Every movie I mentioned here are definitely worth the time in checking out if you're interested. :D

This is a movie that takes place around the time of Christmas so not a Christmas movie. While Die Hard literally takes place during a Christmas party thusly making it a Christmas movie. 😋

It was Written by Shane Black. He sets almost all his buddy movies at Christmas. It is his preferred time of year in his scripts. This is a Christmas movie.

Christmas Caroling used to be a thing. I'm old enough to remember it. It was back when people went to the church in their neighborhood. The Church choir would sing in their neighborhood. Mostly visiting the home of the church members who were elderly shut ins as they got fewer people calling on them to visit. Now in my moms small town. Really, a small small town. People not only never locked their doors but left coffee going in case someone dropped in when you were not home. Carolers would go around from the towns three churches. they would sing at a house and the people at the house would then let them in to warm up, drink coffee and eat some cookies or a snack. This was when people knew all of their neighbors. and most people in town. I saw this as a young kid, we don't see it anymore, I think because people don't go to their church in their neighborhood, they drive their cars across town, caroling would no longer be a walk around the streets of your home, but a car convoy around town, destroying the real reason it was fun. Walking with each other and talking with everyone in your group. I think we have lost alot as time moved on.

Geena and Samuel have both mentioned numerous times that this is their favourite movie they have ever made. They have both have also stated that they would sign on for a sequel with no hesitations.

Him laying in the snow, calmly lighting a cigarette because he knew she'd have to come back is an all time cool moment! 😂😁😎

37:57 - one of the reasons this movie is great is because there is no romance between two leads. It's just a boring trope after a while. So it was nice to see two people working together without sleeping with each other.
