Don Johnson vs. Sam Elliott
00:00:33
Speaker
that's what I thought this whole time I was like Don Johnson he's being the Marlboro man who's like the rough-and-tumble Arizona or America cat wolf Arizona cowboy for that call what you want but yeah he's definitely just Sam Elliott ing and you know like it Don Johnson does a great job I would have preferred Sam Elliott. Yeah, I agree. There's not often why I don't want
Evening Recording Inquiry
00:00:54
Speaker
Sam Elliott. Actually Emily from work, I was just like, what are you guys recording tonight? I was like, oh, Harley-Davidson Lamar mentioned, oh, Mickey working Sam Elliott. I was like, no, actually Don Johnson, but yeah, Sam Elliott.
Appreciation for Movie Stunts
00:01:06
Speaker
But it reminds me of Shakedown. Did you watch Shakedown with us? I think you did, right? I did. Okay. It reminds me of that in the sense of like, you don't need these bonkers stunts, but I'm really happy you did them.
00:01:16
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. that You could have easily not done this part, but you did.
Mickey Rourke Scene Analysis
00:01:22
Speaker
Well, like like they they take these dudes hostage. One of them, Mickey Rourke has this shotgun. He's like, look, you're 15 feet away. You could miss me. I could close my eyes and hit you. Blind is a bat and you're fucked. But he does just toss the shotgun at the dude because he doesn't want to kill these people. He didn't do anything wrong.
Precision Shooting Scene
00:01:38
Speaker
And oh it's the first we see of Don Johnson being a crack shot.
00:01:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He shoots this dude's belt off. Uh-huh. He shoots the gun right out without hitting his hand. Yeah. Hit the hand later when he wants to. I like to. Showing you his control. They're handcuffing these guys and he's like, you guys look like two bit hoods.
Amusing Professionalism Exchange
00:01:55
Speaker
I'm like, no, what makes you think we're not professionals? It's like, well, professionals, because they blow up the back of this truck. Does that look like two bit hoods to you? He's like, yup. Professionals would have used my keys, asshole. And they do look at each other like, fuck. I didn't even think about the keys. Also, when Don Johnson jumps off the truck and his bandana falls off his face. Oh, shit. What makes you think we're amateurs? That I just saw your buddy's face when he jumped off the goddamn truck. Nobody else is hitting their face, though. And they use the names, too. He's like, hey, Jimmy, check this shit out. And they tell him like we're Harley. I'm Harley Davidson and he's the Marlboro man. But like, those aren't real names. So that's fine. But Jimmy is a name. Hey Jimmy, you're going to enjoy counting this up on your house on six Avenue, right? The one right across from a crooked tooth over there. Hey Jimmy, I can't wait till you take this money back to your dad. So you can buy the rock and roll bar back. The old man's going to love this when you counted at his bar, Jimmy, you know, the old man, AKA old granddad.
Hidden Plot Details Discussion
00:02:51
Speaker
And you know what, they don't say anything in this movie about it. I mean, he does say that they want to put up another high rise. Yeah. But there's a little model in Tom Sizemore's office, which it looks like. not like me so It looks exactly like za to me. Naka Plaza. Yes, it looks exactly like Nakatomi Plaza. But I'm pretty sure that's the building that they want to build on top of the bar. Oh, for sure. Makes sense. They just don't say that. Yeah. Yeah. But when it gets obliterated by a machine gun.
00:03:16
Speaker
Joke's on you, dude. It's getting haunted anyway, because I guarantee you they ain't moving these bodies. They're gonna go great while China and use their bones as the foundation.
Poltergeist and Construction Jokes
00:03:24
Speaker
Yep. And that's how you get fucking poltergeist. It is how you get poltergeist. I don't think it has to be a Native American burial ground. I think it just makes it worse. It's just that you bury but body the bodies. Yeah, it just well it's be but makes it more vengeful. Yeah. ah bodies build the floor Let the bodies build the floor. 13th floor.
Business vs. Personal Themes
00:03:49
Speaker
But like, hey, man, this is business. It's not personal. And the guard is like, well, your business isn't with us. It's with them. And we have this fucking Matrix Crown Vic pull up or whatever full of dudes out of malibrium people equilibrium ah the the future of Hitler's yeah uniform. She go boss, actually.
