- Hey guy.
I love bad movies.
I think I love them more than I love good movies,
which is bad.
So when a friend of told me about
a movie called Money Plane,
which is a self-described explosive casino heist in the sky.
I knew I had to check this shit out,
and I was not disappointed.
- It is my pleasure to welcome you
to the Money Plane.
- Normally I probably wouldn't make a video
about something like this.
It almost has a Sharknado vibe to it
where maybe it's supposed to be ironic,
but this movie takes itself so seriously
that I don't think it is ironic.
I think they genuinely tried to make a good action movie
and that makes it so much better.
What also drew me to it was the random selection
of high profile actors that normally
wouldn't show up in a movie like this.
If you're a fan of WWE,
you'll recognize the main character's
played by former wrestler Edge.
Not to be confused with The Edge of the band U2
or Microsoft Edge, the web browser that's currently
in your computer's recycle bin.
If you're a fan of nineties Disney Channel movies
then you'll recognize all three of the Lawrence brothers,
Matthew, Andrew, and Joey.
Now interestingly enough,
they don't just star in Money Plane.
Andrew actually wrote and directed the movie.
But of course, the crown jewel of casting
in this movie is Kelsey Grammer.
Comedy legend, best known for playing the role
of Frasier in the show Frasier.
In this movie, he is an evil mob boss.
Because when you think Frasier, you think Scarface.
Few observations I made in the first couple minutes,
this font makes it look like art museum
is the name of an actor.
This graphic looks like the intro sequence
to a show on the Discovery channel.
And the entire movie looks like an episode of NCIS.
Now, if you've seen a movie before,
I don't need to tell you what happens
in the first five minutes.
They're doing a heist, something goes wrong.
They barely make it out of there.
And then the villain tells them
they need to do one last job,
or he'll kill them and their families.
- It's called a Money Plane.
Some of the baddest motherfuckers on the planet
are on that plane, all craving action.
Whatever you want to wager on,
the Money Plane has you covered.
You want to bet on a dude fucking an alligator,
Money Plane.
- Or Florida.
- Look familiar?
- Uh...
No.
Oh shit, wrong picture.
- You don't bring me back what I want from the Money Plane,
then you won't have anything to come back to.
- After they established the stakes of the movie,
Jack is back home,
smacking his daughter in the face with a pillow.
(laughing)
- Oh, direct shot!
- Look the dude's a criminal.
He can't turn it off when he gets home.
- I'm gonna hit you good.
- All right you two, it's bedtime.
- C'mon mom, already?
- C'mon please, five more minutes.
Sweetie, I know you love when your dad
gives you a concussion, but it's bedtime.
- You owe a lot of money to some very bad people.
Now you work for me.
- So then after Jack wakes up from a nice dream
about Kelsey smoking a cigar,
an old friend shows up to remind everyone
just how ridiculous this movie's going to be.
- It's ironic isn't it?
Gambling's what got you into this whole mess.
And now...
The Money Plane.
- How many times are they going to say
the word Money Plane?
- Money Plane, Money Plane, Money Plane, Money Plane.
Dude fucking an alligator.
- Money Plane.
- So this plane was advertised
as having the world's best criminals.
But when they get onboard,
they all just kind of seem like cartoon character villains.
You got the two creeps, who just won't stop being creeps.
- Nice.
- Really nice.
- You've got the cowboy.
- Howdy folks.
- Whose name is The Cowboy.
- I am your concierge, and I am here to facilitate
your every desire for action and speculation.
- What does that mean?
Oh, how I have the desire to speculate.
- They'll be no fighting, no murder, no dismemberment.
- What?
There's no murder allowed on this plane,
god, these rules are strict.
- So it's going to be a thing between you two.
- You seem to like.
- Is it really necessary?
(scoffs)
- More than 50% of your victims are sexually exploited.
And you got a problem with my guy
hitting on waitress?
- More than 50% of my lines are delivered
like I just learned how to read.
And you got a problem with me
being in this movie.
So I feel like three or four straight minutes
of really boring and unnecessary exposition
where they over explain things to set up who's who.
- I know who you are.
- We know who you are.
- Kingpin of the largest human trafficking.
(talking over each other)
- Yeah, you and I have known each other
for long time, since middle school in fact.
Remember we had chemistry class together.
We also kind of had chemistry with each other.
We've been best friends ever since.
- Drinks, gentlemen?
(crying in pain)
- What?
It's almost like the director realized,
oh shit, there's not enough action.
Quick punch someone 'cause that's the only way
to explain why that just happened.
- Now, who the fuck is this guy?
- So now it's time for their plan
to start rolling into motion.
Jack and the flight attendant sneak off
to go find their way into the cockpit.
And Trey takes his place on the table.
- I'm Mr. McGillicuddy.
- His alias for this mission is Mr. McGillicuddy,
an Irishman.
He gets into all sorts of trouble right away.
- You got balls of steel, amigo.
- No, I'm good, you go.
- I can't lose!
- But then the creep shows up again,
to deliver the best line in the movie.
- You're not supposed to be down here.
- Rules were meant to be fucked.
- And Jack gets himself into a little bit of trouble,
when he has to fist fight the co-pilot.
'Cause you know, Money Plane.
This scene's actually kind of funny.
They're getting into a tussle,
and like knocking the plane controls around.
So the plane's just shaking,
but for some reason no one feels the need
to go investigate why.
But Jack ultimately wins the fight, at first.
Because then in classic action movie fashion,
the bad guy gets back up ready for round two.
And the first thing he does is
put his finger in Jack's mouth?
Which you know, me not knowing a lot
about fighting techniques.
I'm like, oh, that seems unconventional.
But I guess there's a reason for that, right?
No, cause he just chomps down real hard
on the finger that he chose to put in his mouth.
And that's how Jack gets the upper hand.
So what was the point of the finger?
The writer probably also realized that it's been too long
without Kelsey Grammer being on the screen.
So he calls in, just to be like, where's my money?
- Checking in on my money.
I want my damn money, Jack.
- Don't do that.
- We're like an hour into the flight dude,
we're working on it, all right.
Cool your jets.
Speaking of money.
I think we're starting to get to the point of the movie
where their budget just completely ran out.
Our friend, the Irishman is unwillingly thrust
into yet another bet.
- Man versus Cobra.
- And this scene is great because
they don't even attempt to show a cobra.
They don't try to animate one
or like green screen one in,
they just show the man in a cage,
and then everything happens off screen.
- Oh hell no.
- Great reaction shot.
- McGillicuddy wins another one.
- Then they go right into another bet.
And the dealer is just listing off numbers,
and no one's saying anything.
- 100,000.
150,000.
200,000.
- See she keeps going higher and higher,
like an overly excited auctioneer.
Do I hear 1 million, 2 million, 3 million, 4 million?
No, I said 50 dollars.
5 million!
But somehow Trey wins again.
Even though he, like the viewer,
has no idea what's going on.
(screaming)
- You are on a roll, my friend.
- Like what were they betting on?
If he would chop an arm off?
Who would chop it off?
How fast they would?
No time to answer any of those questions though.
'Cause we're being thrown right into the third bet.
That's just the kind of thing that happens
here on Money Plane.
- When I was young, I chopped off arms for free.
- Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom.
(coughing)
- Don't do that.
- I'm sick from watching all these disgusting bets.
- Pull it together, man.
Get your ass back out there before anyone gets suspicious.
After the game you find that damn server room,
and you hack that damn server!
- You know what that means.
Time for more action to happen off screen.
This time it's man versus piranha.
And I think even the production team was a little shaken up
because they forgot to film multiple reaction shots here
and just reused the same one from four seconds ago.
- Oh hell no.
- [Male Voice] Won again by Mr. McGillicuddy.
- He's gotta be cheating, he's winning everything.
- That's what I'm saying.
- Hey.
- What are you doing in here?
- Uh oh guys, Isabella just caught going down to do
something, I don't know what's going on either.
But she has to fight this guy now,
which she does so successfully by pulling off his ears.
Gotta say, I've never seen that in a movie before.
So props to Money Plane for ruining my life.
Anyway, she gets into the vault,
where we can see they're holding giant piles
of cash and cocaine.
The two forms of currency.
I'm not really sure why they have a vault filled with cash.
They said in the beginning
that all of the betting is done digitally,
so there's no physical transaction of money here.
I guess they're just also holding cash on the plane.
Maybe they're just asking to get robbed.
I don't know.
- Get the hell out of there.
- I really liked this next shot.
So as the day leads into night and the sun comes down,
they cut back to Andrew Lawrence,
who's on the ground doing something
that has to do with the mission.
- This job sucks.
- But to show that it's getting dark outside
all they did was turn down the exposure in post.
See daytime...
Nighttime, it's as simple as that.
Meanwhile, back on the plane,
Isabella has to deal with the guys
who look like villains from a Home Alone movie.
(screaming)
How did he get electrocuted?
She just kicked him into some computers,
not even where like wires are exposed.
Just the outside of some computers.
- What the hell's going on up there?
- Also, what the hell's going on down here.
I can't see anything,
because you turned the exposure down.
What if I just posted all my videos like this from now on.
Would that be cool?
Would you like that?
Don't worry about Andrew though.
He's not going to write his own death in a movie.
The drone is here to save the day.
- That's it, right up your ass.
- This movie's awesome.
- Are you really fucking with me right now?
Are you fucking with me?
- You think you're badass, yeah?
The criminals on this plane would eat you alive.
- Really?
Because they lost every bet to a guy
who didn't even know what was happening
and then they all died.
I'm starting to think these criminals
aren't that good after all.
- I don't give a fuck who's on that plane.
I'm the baddest motherfucker on the planet.
I am Darius Grouch III, The Rumble,
and I am taking down the Money Plane.
Now bring me my money!
(chill music)
I don't give a fuck who's on that plane.
I'm the baddest motherfucker on the planet.
I am Darius Grouch III, The Rumble,
and I am taking down the Money Plane.
- That bastard pulled the ole
I don't have feelings for Kristi North trick.
- I don't have feelings for Kristi North.
I don't have feelings for Kristi North.
- Works every time.
- Oh fuck, I can't see!
All this money's in my face!
- On behalf of the house, I want to assure you
that Mr. Grouch's head will be on a platter
by the time we land.
- But how did he pull it off?
- You're done.
- Yeah.
Now go get me my money, Jack.
- Oh wait, he just put that there.
He's just holding onto that the whole time,
and he just straps it to the bottom
right in front of him and he didn't notice.
Okay.
- I'm out Darius.
- Hold on.
- Oh man, Frasier's pissed.
- It's rumble time.
(screams loudly)
- It's rumble time.
(laughs)
Oh my god, what a finale.
(upbeat music)
That's it, they all lived happily ever after.
If it seemed like this video was a little rushed
and ended abruptly that's 'cause the movie
was a little rushed and ended abruptly.
It's only 80 minutes long.
And I really skipped through like the first 40 minutes.
Once the action starts happening,
it's kind of over before you know it.
Honestly, I genuinely enjoy this movie.
It's $5 to rent on Amazon.
So, you know, if you're looking for 80 minutes
to spend turning your brain off, I do recommend it.
To me it's very similar to Gooby
where you're watching it, and it's like, well, this sucks.
This isn't a good movie,
but that just makes me that much more confused
why a giant actor is here.
What is Eugene Levy doing in a movie
about an eight foot tall monster
who befriends a small boy.
And what is Kelsey Grammer doing in a movie
about an airplane casino heist.
The world may never know.
- A dude fucking an alligator.
- But I had fun watching it.
Well anyway that Amazon rental fee
isn't going to pay for itself,
so I got to cut to commercials.
And that's why Abraham Lincoln was
was the most awesome president.
(weak applause)
Great job Timmy, you did awesome.
Drew, you're up next.
Whenever you're ready.
I decided to do my report on ExpressVPN.
Wait what?
With a virtual private network,
you can browse the internet feeling safe,
knowing your data is encrypted
and your information is secure.
Like your password, emails, and browser history.
After all, it's the government
that's trying to harvest your data,
so they can keep track of you.
I think you misunderstood the prompt.
It's not just for security though.
I use ExpressVPN all the time,
to unblock content that isn't available in my region.
Like last month by switching my location
from Florida to the United Kingdom,
I was able to watch time How I Met Your Mother on Netflix,
but that also gave me access to shows
like Friends and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
They have servers in 94 different countries.
So really I was just scratching the surface.
Drew, this is a history class.
I was getting to that.
Historically speaking,
ExpressVPN has the fastest speeds of any VPN out there.
Okay, you get an F.
(beep) you, you (beep) (beep).
Go to the principle's office.
Fine, I will.
But then I'm gonna go to expressvpn.com/drew
to find out how I can get three months free
of the best VPN on the planet.
Link in description.
Okay, now you're just talking nonsense.
Next student please.
Hey, so this is kind of awkward
but I also did my report on ExpressVPN.
Oh my god!
Thank you to ExpressVPN for sponsoring today's video.
And as always, thank you guy, for watching it.
If you enjoyed it,
please go ahead and smash that like button,
like it's your child's face and you're holding a pillow.
If you'd like to keep up with me on the internet,
be sure to follow me on Twitter,
to see me reply to stuff,
and follow me on Instagram, to see me post nothing.
Be sure to tune in next week for another brand new video
where I straight up just fall asleep on camera,
and that's just the whole video,
and you have to watch all of it.
All right, bye.
