    Man! Kurt Russel has a lot of Iconic Characters! We didn't even get to cover Backdraft, Big Trouble in Little China, Miracle, Sky High, Bone Tomahawk, Fast and Furious... Like this to see a part 2 👍
  • @Superdave131
    How did we not get him breaking down Big Trouble In Little China?
  • @yungb254
    A break down with Kurt Russell with no mention of Big Trouble in Little China is criminal.
  • My buddy met Kurt at an airshow in San Diego, and then ran into him again a few months later in a tavern. Kurt sill remembered his name. What a guy..
  • @xteratogenx13
    His almost completely silent acting in "Soldier" is criminally underrated.
  • @maximearnan9613
    You can tell the profound and genuine admiration he has for John Carpenter. Real legend
  • @tariqjohnson9421
    “Let’s go make something fresh” every film studio needs to hear that fr
  • @PukaHeadMan
    “Tombstone” was the best kickass western I’ve ever seen! Great story, great action, and great acting!
  • @johncarroll5087
    Russell has always come off as a genuinely nice guy. He also has always provided quality performances in every one of his movies and has avoided the trappings of life in the public eye. He really seems like the kind of guy you could have a beer with and just listen to some of his stories.
  • This man’s name will be carved in Hollywood forever, One of the true treasures of 80s cinema and beyond.
  • @trainspotter360
    I’m convinced the only person John Carpenter actually likes is Kurt Russell. They are quite a team.
  • @Zagor9
    'Captain Ron'. My all time favorite of Kurt Russell. Unbeatable!
  • @JBM1428
    The fact that two of the best directors ever, Tarantino and Carpenter, continually asked Kurt to star in their movies speaks volume
  • @schnarchei6572
    The love and respect Kurt Russell has for John Carpenter is quite heartwarming. They really brought out the best in each other.
  • Met Kurt Russell on the set of Used Cars, he came and sat down with us, the extras, and played Liars Poker with us. I was a big fan already since I was a kid and him doing this made me think he was the most awesome person ever. He was just a regular guy hanging out, and oh yeah a superstar.
  • @warweaponx6629
    Kurt Russell is a national treasure. Such a phenomenal actor
  • 27 minutes is too short for this legend. Release the full interview!
  • @PhoggHawk
    Kurt's Santa is my favorite movie Santa of all time! He had such a young at heart, fun, sometimes stern, but always compassionate vibe about him. Tons of humor and a genuine twinkle in his eye! My favorite scene is when he's in jail with all of the "bad guys" and you knew they were probably all supposed to be on the naughty list but Santa loved them anyway and Kurt played that aspect of Santa brilliantly! I wish they would have given us more of what Kurt had to say about that role because it's my favorite role of his! I'm super glad to see he was so proud of it!
