I remember loving to watch Last Action Hero...never knew why it was shytted on so heavy by the critics. It was a parody and any corny or "cheesy-ness" was mostly on purpose. Even as a 15 yr old I got that.
According the the writer
you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what’s left with the third.

They fukked the movie up. And released it ONE week after Jurassic Park. It would have performed better if they marketed it correctly and didn't move the date of release up. Its a fun movie but I always lost interest once they went back to the real world aside from a couple scenes.
This is revisionist history though, Before Jurassic Park came out, all dinosaur movies had a reputation of b movie fodder that used stop motion. it was a dead genre.
I doubt anyone expected Arnold (the biggest star in hollywood at the time) would have hard time competing with what they expected would simply be a modern version of this movie.
Unfornately for them it turned out to be the greatest dinosaur movie of all time, nothing like any previous dinosaur film.
Dinosaur movie didn't have Stephen Spielberg in his prime with stupid real looking dinosaurs.This is revisionist history though, Before Jurassic Park came out, all dinosaur movies had a reputation of b movie fodder that used stop motion. it was a dead genre.

Any other production company was stupid to play chicken with Jurassic Park.
they weren't stupid, they just couldn't see the future. Jurassic park was not some established IP everybody knew would later become a franchise Nobody was a expecting a dinosaur movie( a type of film that was popular in the 60s but faded from popularity), with a bunch of no name actors (even one directed by Spielberg) to outperform Arnold who had been knocking it out the park with his last 5 or 6 films in a row.
that would be like me getting Scorsese to direct a remake the good the bad and the ugly, releasing it the same day as Avengers in 2012 and calling marvel stupid for not pushing back their release. it's revisionist history. Everybody expected Arnolds movie to dominate the box office.

If I saw this during the previews back in the day it would be a first-day watch over Last Action Hero
Last Action Hero doesn’t have a thrill like this. That growl at the end would have had the money running out of my wallet for a ticket
It’s fukking Spielberg
yeah, except this is clearly a rerelease trailer that came out long after the fact likely within the last ten years or so. It's obvoius by the lack of 90s narration. and the fact the it looks like it's in 1080p
This is the original trailer and all you new about the movie going in.

The film remains an under-appreciated gem of ‘90s comedy/action flicks.

Demolition Man's Writer Explains How the Three Seashells Came To Be
Over the decades, few film debates have endured as much as Demolition Man’s three seashells, and now we can at least put one aspect of that debate to bed: where, exactly, they came from.
