Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
16:43 – 19:32… able to do this stuff with his wife. He's doing, like, subtle comedy stuff. Tangoing with Tia. Yeah. He's tangoing. This is, like, I think this is his acting Apex Mountain. Yeah. I mean, respectfully, I don't know if that's, like, saying a ton. But, yeah. Like, I think. Jesus. I love Arnold Schwarzenegger movies are really good. But I just thought, what are we talking? It's not, like, my left foot. It's, like, he does a really good job in this movie. But. Goddamn. Goddamn. Goddamn. But that's. I didn't know I was here with Pauline Kale. I didn't know I was here with Lee Strasberg. But that's the reason why, …

But he's just, his accent isn't, like, he's not leaning on it too much for comedic crutches. He's doing the action stuff, but he's not, like, completely overpoweringly gigantic. He's able to do this stuff with his wife. He's doing, like, subtle comedy stuff. Tangoing with Tia. Yeah. He's tangoing. This is, like, I think this is his acting Apex Mountain. Yeah. I mean, respectfully, I don't know if that's, like, saying a ton. But, yeah. Like, I think. Jesus. I love Arnold Schwarzenegger movies are really good. But I just thought, what are we talking? It's not, like, my left foot. It's, like, he does a really good job in this movie. But. Goddamn. Goddamn. Goddamn. But that's. I didn't know I was here with Pauline Kale. I didn't know I was here with Lee Strasberg. But that's the reason why, though, this is his best performance. Yeah. Because he's the one that's asking him for the most. Listen. Arnold's not. He's not Sir Lawrence Olivier. Yeah. I wasn't. I was just saying. Yeah. He's one of the great popcorn actors of our lifetime. And this is probably his best movie. But there's also. Although I do love Total Recall. Total Recall. Total Recall is great. Total Recall is great. So it's this or Total Recall in the finals. I think it's this, though. Because. He's asked to do a lot. There's a lot of charm. Yeah. And then he has to be, like, super upset. And then he has to snap right back into being the coolest guy on the planet. So it's asking him for more, too, in true life. I gotta say, I really. And I've talked about this in past pods. I really miss not having 2024's version of Arnold and Sly. I really feel like those. Like, in the NBA, we've always been able to replace our favorite players with the next generation of guys. I mean, is that supposed to be Vin Diesel and The Rock now, but they're just, like. It was never The Rock. They're not delivering. He never got there. Vin Diesel only got there as Dom Toretto. Well, that's a very. You took a very strong stance on The Rock. He never got there. The Rock had a million bites at the apple. It just never happened. If you really look at it, The Rock, for a lot of the solo one-off Rock movies that are supposed to be a big deal, a lot of times those movies don't work. Like, The Rock has things that he can do. Did he do Skyscraper and San Andreas? Both of them. Chris, if you were flying to Australia and they had The Rock's entire catalog. Where would you start? Walking Tall? San Andreas? The Rock's in bad movies. I mean, when you compare them to those guys, I mean, think of a movie like Cobra. Cobra felt like a big, huge deal. Yeah, Stallone made bad movies that were better than any good Rock. Yeah. Tango and Cash is probably better than any Rock movie. Do you know the Rock movie that I had the most invested in that just really left? Jungle Cruise? It was Pain and Gain. Oh, yeah. He's good, right? But that was the one that I was like, this has to be it, right? Like, I was like, Michael Bay, and it's, you know, I just really wanted more from that movie. Well, the good news is he bought an NFL team in Ballers, so it all worked out.
45:35 – 48:22… Carrey. Now I needed to make a giant dump right here on this woman's head. Same elevators in the line of fire. I know. It's so good, man. This is definitely Apex Mountain for glass elevators. Should we just do a Rewatchables video shoot or we just go to famous locations? Sure. Sure. Yeah. Because I would love to go to that hotel and just ride the elevator and then just cut us into... Should we go to that hotel and just ride the elevator? Just ride the elevator and film it. Should we go to the Book to Pot story again? That was great. I love that one. We could go to a couple of the heat houses. Yeah. We could …

I also think it would have been funny if the horse shit in the elevator. I thought it was a huge missed opportunity. Toss in Arnold and two more people. That's another like 600 pounds. They're over capacity. It's a miracle that thing went up. I wish you were Jim Carrey. Now I needed to make a giant dump right here on this woman's head. Same elevators in the line of fire. I know. It's so good, man. This is definitely Apex Mountain for glass elevators. Should we just do a Rewatchables video shoot or we just go to famous locations? Sure. Sure. Yeah.

Should we go to the Book to Pot story again? That was great. I love that one. We could go to a couple of the heat houses. Yeah. We could go to... The Pulp Fiction diner. Mm-hmm. Arnold dangling off the roof is good too. Getting the horse to back up. That seems a little... Back up. Next one. Harry overhearing his wife talking to Simon and he tells Tom Arnold, Helen is having an affair. Yeah. And he goes, welcome to the club. Welcome to the club, man. Nobody thinks it could happen to them the first time, buddy. Same exact thing happening with wife number two. Remember? I had no idea nothing's going on, right? I come home one day and the house is completely empty. And I mean completely empty. She even took the ice cube trays out of the freezer. What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer? And Tom Arnold proceeds to be hysterical. He's even... He's super funny before that. He's just... What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer? Which apparently Roseanne did in real life and they worked it in the script. Yeah. He told James Cameron, stop cheering me up. Next one. Chris's favorite scene. Arnold test drives the Corvette as Bill Paxton raves about how hot his wife is, not knowing it's his wife. The vet makes him wet. The level of insane shit that he's saying in this scene. Yeah. He said, like, I've seen the scene so many times, but obviously suck start a leaf blower. Yeah. And then the other one, man. She's like all these babes. You get their pilot lit, they can suck start a leaf blower. Oh, gosh. He's got the most incredible body and a pair of titties. Make you want to stand up and beg for buttermilk. Ass like a 10-year-old boy. Ass like a 10-year-old boy? Ass like a 10-year-old boy. What the fuck is... What the fuck is happening, bro? Like, this is such a crazy... I think it's kind of unlike any other scene in James Cameron's filmography where he just lets somebody cook for five minutes like this.
92:28 – 96:04… of the truck and then the truck runs him over on the bridge. I've always been obsessed with the human missile shot into the helicopter. And then that's it. Apex Mountain. Arnold. No. No. No. But we're I have a He's about to start going down the mountain. I have Arnold. Caveat. Yeah. Arnold standalone movies. No sequel. The movie's not involved in the franchise.

who goes flying through the windshield of the truck and then the truck runs him over on the bridge. I've always been obsessed with the human missile shot into the helicopter. And then that's it. Apex Mountain. Arnold. No. No. No. But we're I have a He's about to start going down the mountain. I have Arnold. Caveat. Yeah. Arnold standalone movies. No sequel. The movie's not involved in the franchise. Arnold standalone movies. Arnold standalone movie. No sequel. The movie is not involved in the franchise. It's definitely this. Yeah. So you'd have Eraser, Commando, Total Recall, The Running Man, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Predator doesn't count because it's a whole big franchise. He didn't show up and the other ones. Total Recall, they did that so that's eliminated. They rebooted it but it doesn't. He's not in. Yeah. But so I'm saying Predator I take away because Predator is a whole big lore. Just Arnold standalone movies. Just one. Is this the best one? This is the best one, right? Best one. It's the Apex Mountain for that. Best one. Tom Arnold, Apex Mountain. Without a doubt. 1990s tango scenes. Would you go this or Son of a Woman? Son of a Woman. Son of a Woman. I think it's Son of a Woman. Jamie Lee Curtis, Hot Scenes. Think about it. Trading Places. Trading Places. I mean there's a lot. Perfect. That's the best she looks. So you're saying perfect. She has a whole aerobic scene when she's just eye fucking John Travolta where it's like why did this movie make $700 million? Yeah. You're a freak. It's on Tuesday. It's funny. I'm a freak. It's some fucking mystery video tape. Wait, wait, wait. That's it. You had the white girl super mix. Can I say something? I don't have, I didn't have one tape. I had several volumes of this. But I'll say I get credit for being a freak. I think sometimes your freak is a little underrated. I'm just saying perfect. Perfect. Just watch first 10 minutes. Tia Carrera, it's Wayne World's. Wayne's World. Wayne's World, yeah. Wayne's World won. Paxton, no. Two Dobermans being headbutted together. Definitely. James Cameron, no. Ski, ski, shootout scenes? No. Skiing guy shootout scenes. Because it's either Majesty's Secret Service or Inception. Inception. Inception. Cliffhanger? Inception is what I had. Cliffhanger, anybody? Yeah. I like Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger's good too, yeah. Ice Cube trade thefts, definitely. Weston Bonaventure? Because this and In the Line of Fire, back-to-back years. It's in the Line of Fire. Yeah, but the think about the mindshare that the Weston Bonaventure had on us. Horse Cops? Horse Cops. I don't know. I feel like we've topped Horse Cops. Probably. Truth Serum? Yeah. Might be the number one Truth Serum scene, right? I have to think. Didn't they get... They gave Ethan Hunt Truth Serum one time. No, they didn't. I can't remember. Florida Keys movies? Where was Wild Things set? That wasn't the Keys. It was in Miami. There's a... They might go to the... No, it was in Miami. Denzel made one in the Keys, right? He made Out of Time. That's a good-ass movie. I like Out of Time. Bro, that's an underrated Denzel Jim. It's not even underrated. I don't think people talk about it. It's properly rated. I'm gonna go Night Moves, Gene Hackman, Keys. I like it. And it's Horny Hacks, too. Yeah. Yeah. And that one. Horny Gene Hackman Month is a thing. Just maybe look at Horny Hackman. Horny Hackman Month. Horny Hackman Month. Horny Hackman. It's August. It's time for Horny Hackman. Does Hoosiers now? Hoosiers what? Is Horny Hackman? He gets a little... Oh, he gets a little Barbara Hershey. He's got a little Barbara Hershey. Cruiser Hanks for this movie. Can I ask a question?
