A fearless, globe-trotting, terrorist-battling secret agent has his life turned upside down when he discovers his wife might be having an affair with a used car salesman while terrorists smuggle nuclear war heads into the United States.

And on the 7th day, God created True Lies, and it was good.
"surely he wont ride a HORSE in there?"
"surely he WONT ride a HORSE in THERE?"
"SURELY he WONT ride a HORSE in THERE?"
"DA BRIDGE IS AAUUUT!"
The best (and the most) American action film of the last 30 or so years.
Mushroom cloud kiss is the image of Cameron's career.
Little uncomfy with Harry's weird treatment of his wife in the middle going completely unchecked and consequence-free by the end (what do you mean the guy who wrote this has been divorced 4 times?) but ultimately the shooty shooty bang explosion scenes in this are sick as all hell and that's what really matters. When he rode the horse into the hotel I literally did that "guy sitting up in his chair" meme
Been haranguing my friends to watch this movie for a while because I remembered it being so fun and having terrific action set pieces. Totally forgot how sexist and racist it was though! So, that sucked!
Honestly so over the top and goofy at times feels like a satire of masculinity and impotence before Cameron settles you in and goes “oh no sorry i mean all of this.” I mean, Bill Paxton’s “ass like a 10 year old boy” monologue is so unhinged. I think my favorite moment of Arnold’s career is him saying “bye!” and running away on the bridge after the mushroom cloud kiss. And I mean, goddamn this is totally Jamie Lee Curtis’s movie. In a just…
I will love just about any movie that features Arnold, the absolute least inconspicuous looking and sounding man on the planet, as an undercover agent of some sort (also see:Raw Deal) and has him violently dispatch most of the people who appear on screen. In order to get on the wavelength here on some level you have to accept that this movie was a relic of the 80s American macho action fantasy even in 1994 (right down to its troubling cartoon post-Gulf War Arab terrorist plot), and as a remarriage rom-com where Arnold and Curtis learn to trust each other and spice up their love life with stripping and explosions at the same time it was very obviously written by…
The Omega Sector is the last line of defense against wife crime.
Fuck me I had forgotten how hard this movie annihilates. Let's run it down:
-Tom Arnold just absolutely killing every bit of comic relief as a spy with extreme divorced guy energy. Also, this is Arnie's best comedic performance, not just funny because its Arnie, but timing, line delivery, irony. He slays.
-The A plot about Islamic terrorists and nuclear weapons just stops about a third of the way into the movie so they can have an entirely different B plot about Arnold turning the entire apparatus of the US National Security State against his wife for having an emotional affair.
-Angel in heaven Bill Paxton saying "I…
these terrorists hiding nuclear bombs inside priceless ancient artifacts and then covering them with american flags is a metaphor for how james cameron makes films
Still a perfect 90s action movie, and funny too. James Cameron should make more movies like this instead of Avatar
It’s a horse in an elevator level ridiculous and I love it
Like David Lynch, James Cameron is one of the few filmmakers with the courage to lay his most evil and disgusting thoughts on a slab for the world to see. ngl the Jamie Lee Curtis striptease scene is pretty hot stuff, and is also exactly like the famous Patricia Arquette/Robert Loggia encounter in Lost Highway.
Great performance by Bill Paxton. Career-best work by Tom Arnold. Cameron is a psychopath but he is good at coming up with nifty ideas for action scenes. This movie invites us to imagine a better world in which the United States intelligence community spends its resources harassing Bill Paxton instead of overthrowing democratically elected foreign governments.
I’d forgotten how humorous True Lies is. It’s a comedic parody about a James Bond-esque secret agent, and the double life he lives with his unsuspecting wife. With the laughs, comes a lot of action and crazy stunts. Arnie, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill fuckin’ Paxton, and yes, even Tom Arnold give unforgettable performances.
Terrorists are inane, asinine, heedless and daft. They deserve to be ridiculed, derided, lampooned and jeered at. James Cameron holds nothing back in depicting the radical extreme terrorists as complete and total buffoons. Nothing they say or do, makes any sense. You laugh like hell when the terrorist leader is making a propaganda video, and his camcorder’s battery runs dead. These bad guys ain’t the sharpest tools…
