    I loved this movie as a kid. I would watch anything with fighting/ninjas/action etc. and I mean come on, who didn't love Chris Farley? Re-watching this film and it still holds up, for nostalgia purposes, but I could see how not everyone would love it. It's pretty much just Chris Farley falling down, breaking stuff, and running into things over and over again.

     

    The fight scene towards the end, where Chris Farley gives his "NO ONE MESSES WITH MY BROTHER" speech still pumps me up and legitimately gives me goosebumps though. Every single time. Anyone who has a brother can relate.

    Yes this movie freaked me out as a kid. I blocked it out for decades until recently when I took to the internet in a google search for "80's movie kid hair peanut butter". The fact that this was a kid's movie blows my mind. I put this in the same category as The Gate.

     

    If I remember correctly, he thinks the solution is too runny so adds more peanut butter, which is why it won't stop growing.

    Fucking spoiler alert bro.

    I don't understand the hype. All this movie is about, is people having sex and being sad in a small Texas town. There's no real protagonist, no real antagonist, no real triumph, no real story arc, nothing actually happening of any real significance, no actual stakes for anything. 

    The acting was fine, but that's it. I would not recommend this film to anyone and I would never watch it again.

    At the time mma was finally starting to gain some respect and traction, after some really dark times in the 90s when politicians waged a witch hunt against the UFC. 

    Then this film comes out and totally makes a mockery of the sport. Why the back yard fights? Why not just have an mma movie, be about actual mma fights?

    I had such high hopes for this film. There have been so many epic gangster flicks over the years, that I thought this one could follow in that tradition. You have this charismatic, narcissistic, street wise, but foolish lead character, that should've been a rich well of depth, and instead it just falls entirely flat. 

    There are roles that Travolta plays well, but this just isn't one of them. Terrible film, that seems to drag on forever.

    Arguably  Brendan Frazier's worst film. This box office bomb , is marketed as a comedy, but it tries very hard to be a sincere emotional drama, which it fails at miserably. I get that a lot of movies are supposed to have a suspension of disbelief, but 'The Scout' expecting us to believe that Brendan Frazier is an undiscovered mexican baseball god, is a little too much to ask of anyone. In this movie, not only does Brendan Frazier pitch a perfect game, every single time he pitches (a feat only accomplished 23 times in the entire 100+ year history of MLB), he also breaks the single game strikeout record too... BY 7! All whilst only using 81 pitches (a strike every pitch). As if all that wasn't absurd enough, he also literally bats 1.000 and scores a HR every single time he's at bat. I can't explain how stupid this movie is.

    Am I losing it or did Paul say this movie was pretty good or something along those lines on the Top Dog episode? I think he and June should rewatch this gem and see if his opinion on it stays the same.

    The movie was pretty good... If you want to pick a Chuck Norris movie, there are better ones out there than this one. "The Hitman" should be the easy choice and I feel that if more people had watched that movie, than there would be more clamoring for an episode of HDTGM to be done on the film.

    To be fair, this along with Airheads are probably Brendan Fraser's most watchable movies.

    Have you ever watched 'The Quiet American'? Brendan Frazier actually plays a serious role and he does fantastic in it, very surprisingly. It's a great movie.

     

    Anyways, on to the suggestion topic, I would also like to see this get made into a HDTGM episode... HDTGM should most certainly do at least one Pauly Shore movie.

    The Hitman is one of Chuck Norris' best films and would make for a great episode of HDTGM. In this movie Chuck Norris is left for dead and comes back to life as an undercover cop who infiltrates the mob and in doing so, becomes a ruthless, remorseless, cold blooded killer.... Who is also still a good guy with a heart of gold. Plenty of great action, great one liners, and to top it all off this film also features the greatest movie ending of any movie ever made ever!

    I love this movie. Loved it as a kid and love it as an adult. I understand why people would suggest this for HDTGM and I agree that it would make for a great episode, but I really don't feel as though this is a bad movie. Very entertaining from start to finish and great acting.

    This movie wasn't nearly as bad as Roger Ebert made it out to be. I think his reviews have drastically effected popular opinion when it comes to this film. Ebert may not have enjoyed this movie, but that's okay. He wasn't the target audience. He's an old man. This film was made for kids and as a kid, myself when this movie came out, I quite enjoyed the film and I know that a lot of my friends did so as well.

     

    It certainly wasn't the best film ever made, but it's also far from one of the worst... In fact, public opinion is so negative for this film that in a way this movie is underrated... Come at me bro.

    You forget that the kid is a Bates and is called Master Bates.. Masturbates..

    Yes, also not mentioned is the fact that Richard Pryor tells this 9 year old little kid to "jump the bones" of another little girl, after this kid asks Richard Pryor what he should "do with his thing."... This movie is a perfect candidate for HDTGM.

     

    I mean it's a family friendly kids movie about a rich white family with connections to the KKK, literally buying a black man. The film also features scenes of cross dressing and a scene in which the little kid wants to play with Richard Pryor during his bath time. This film has to make it into a future podcast.

    And then the stranger is LITERALLY a stranger, not anyone that's appeared in the movie so far, and certainly not any of the dropped names or red herrings that they try to set up in the first 80 minutes. What a fucking waste of a movie.

    I hate when movies and tv shows do that. It's always the worst. Why waste the ending of a movie on a character with no development, that the audience has no reason to be invested in? Never works out well.

    Speaking of that, and the fact that everyone gets like maybe three minutes to get their shit in before never being seen again, they make it a point to say that yes, Sub-Zero was killed in the first one, but that this is his brother. The guy's like "What? Oh yeah, he's dead, but I'm his brother. Bob-Zero, nice to meet you" (I COULD be paraphrasing) before disappearing completely. I think this movie was followed by a TV show that I can't BELIEVE ran for a full season, but I can't imagine that they bothered to follow up on the what-the-fuckery that this movie presented.

    That tv show was actually epic. It was a prequel to both movies and was awesome! Should've ran for many more seasons than one.

    1.) The Hitman (1991): This is the best Chuck Norris film HDTGM could do. Plenty of great one liners and an awesome storyline, where Chuck Norris plays this undercover cop that infiltrates the mob and in doing so becomes a cold blooded, remorseless killer, who is also still a good guy... Plus this film features the greatest movie ending ever!

     

    2.) The Scout (1994): Arguably Brendan Frazier's worst film. This box office bomb, is marketed as a comedy, but it tries very hard to be a sincere emotional drama, which it fails at miserably. I get that a lot of movies are supposed to have a suspension of disbelief, but 'The Scout' expecting us to believe that Brendan Frazier is an undiscovered mexican baseball god, is a little too much to ask of anyone. In this movie, not only does Brendan Frazier pitch a perfect game, every single time he pitches (a feat only accomplished 23 times in the entire 100+ year history of MLB), he also breaks the single game strikeout record too... BY 7! All whilst only using 81 pitches (a strike every pitch). As if all that wasn't absurd enough, he also literally bats 1.000 and scores a HR every single time he's at bat. I can't explain how stupid this movie is.

     

    3.) Suburban Commando (1991): Hulk Hogan as an alien warrior fighting other aliens on earth... What more needs to be said, besides "How did this get made?"

     

    4.) The Toy (1982): Richard Pryor is bought by a rich white family with connections to the KKK in this family friendly kids movie. Also featured is Richard Pryor giving sex advice to a 9 year old, Richard Pryor cross dressing, and this 9 year old wanting "to play with him (Richard Pryor)" during his bath.

     

    5.) Dead Man On Campus (1998): A comedy about suicide, that features a cast of insanely, wacky over the top characters to poke fun at. This would make for a great episode of HDTGM.

     

     

    dishonerable mention: Powder and Never Back Down.

    To be fair, this is easily one of Brendan Frasier's best movies. That, however is a low low bar to clear.

    Brendan Frazier has starred in some very terrible films, but this is far from his best film. His best performance and film was 'The Quiet American'. It's a great film and he's brilliant in it.

     

    As for what Brendan Frazier movie would make the best HDTGM, the answer has to be 'The Scout'. The movie is supposed to be a comedy, but it tries so hard to be a serious drama as well and it ends up achieving neither. Also are we really supposed to believe that Brendan Frazier is an undiscovered mexican baseball phenom, that literally wins every single game he pitches with a record breaking 27 stikeouts, on only 81 pitches, and also hits a homerun every single time he steps up to bat?

    It's a comedy about everyone's favorite subject... suicide. Starring Tom Everett Scott and Zack Morris from 'Saved By the Bell'. This film deals with a plot, where two college slackers try and recruit crazy college members to become their roommate, in the hopes that one of them will commit suicide whilst living with them, so that they can then get straight A's due to a little known policy at that college.

     

    Some of the students at this college include, a psychopath who regularly drinks, does drugs, and purposefully starts high speeds chases with police officers, which are quote "pretty intense", a moody rock musician who still watches and laughs at kids cartoons, and an extremely delusional and paranoid wacko who thinks Bill Gates is trying to steal his brain.

     

    It's an awful, but entertaining film that would make for a great episode of HDTGM.
