Film: Last Action Hero (1993)

Blu-Ray


Review: A fun movie about a boy, Danny, who is a superfan of Schwarzenegger films and is magically transported into Arnold's most recent "Jack Slater" film. The film is a fish-out-of-water tale as Danny has to adapt to a world ruled by action movie logic while Jack Slater faces the harsh realities of physics after chasing the villain back into the real world.

Quotes:
"You were in a movie?"
"Yes. It was called "The Girl of My Dreams". It starred you. As a matter of fact, there was this very romantic scene where we had dinner together."

"I thought I was going to die."
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but you're gonna live to enjoy all the glorious fruits life has got to offer - acne, shaving, premature ejaculation... and your first divorce."

"Where are the ordinary, everyday women? They don't exist because this is a movie!"
"No, this is California."

"How'd you know there was a guy in there?"
"There's always a guy in there. It costs me a fortune in closet doors."

"I'll be back! Ha! You didn't know I was gonna say that, did you?"
"That's what you always say!"
"I do?"
"Everyone keeps keeps waiting for you to work it in. It's kind of like your calling card."

"May I help you?"
"Yes, could I speak to the drug dealer of the house, please?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"It's a beautiful day and we're out killing drug dealers. Are there any in the house?"

"I must warn you, I've killed people smarter and younger than you."

"My hand. It really hurts."
"Things work different here. You can't smash a car window with your bare hand and not have it hurt."
"Thanks for sharing. Couldn't you have told me this earlier?"
