Please don't take my video down Youtube this is for the funny

Having the government chase a conspiracy theorist for getting a conspiracy right, but having the conspiracy theorist not know which conspiracy he got right is such a genius setup for a story that no matter what turn the story takes, it will not be a satisfying answer. I would’ve kept the exact conspiracy Mel Gibson got right as a secret the entire movie and have him being an MK ultra victim be something totally separate from that.
-
The best part about this movie for Mel Gibson is that he didn't even have to act, he was just himself for the entire movie
-
I legit had a bus driver who would rant to me nonstop about conspiracy theories. This went on for weeks until he mysteriously disappeared. Part of me wants to believe The Man got him but it's far more likely he was arrested again for not paying his child support (which was part of his many conspiracies)

This a beautiful Romeo and Juliet romance: A 4chan Schizoposter and a Fed
-
Half convinced this movie is just a film crew, Julia Roberts, and Patrick Stewart just following Mel Gibson around and recording him on his day to day
-
This movie adheres to the most damned fantasy of all. The feds actually finding someone dangerous who seemed to be on their radar.

If the CIA isn't real who keeps pissing in my bed when I'm asleep?
-
This probably would be one of the few films to actually benefit from the “main character is actually hallucinating the plot” trope
-
I wish Hollywood had the balls to make more insane movies like this now. The 90s was a wacky time indeed.
-
Fun story: my uncle is friends with the family who rented out their apartment in New York for this film. Never thought about it again until this video.
-
Honestly though, I have to give this movie points for the fact that the Secret-Super-Agent lost with faulty programming and no memory, isn't portrayed as some cold, cool-headed Badass like Jason Bourne... but is instead a nervous wreck, fighting with all kinds of mental illnesses and character ticks, unable to form meaningful connections, while still following some drilled in routines that would seem like an absolute schizophrenic nightmare to an outside observer
-
I think I’m paraphrasing the movie but when he’s getting taken in by the bad guys and he says something like “wait that means I was right! Wait, which one was I right about?” Which is just brilliant
-
See if Mel Gibson also directed this film, it'd be a 10/10 masterpiece. Because for whatever reason, Mel is a really good director.

I agree, having him actually be the guy who killed her dad under brainwashing - with the later obsession with her being a result of unconscious guilt - is much better than "he was sent to do it but The Power Of Love At First Sight broke his programming".

You should really talk about a Christmas movie called Fatman where Mel Gibson plays Santa and a Santa obsessed hitman is hired by an spoiler Elementary school student to take him out, also the US military wants to turn Santa’s Workshop into a weapons manufacturing plant because of how effective the elf’s are with making toys…for some plot reason
-
This reminded me of that one movie where Bruce Willis has to protect an autistic child from the government because the kid accidentally decoded a super secret code that the government uses for secret stuff and that for some reason they published as a puzzle in a kids magazine as a joke because they thought no one would ever crack it and now they want to kill the child before someone finds out he knows how to decode this super secret code.

I literally saw this film this week. Conspiracy Theory, Jacob's Ladder and Signs are the holy trinity of conspiracy thrillers
-
The sequence where he escapes while strapped into the wheelchair is iconic
-
Alice 'falling' for him is easily explained: she felt like shit for believing the villain, and thinking he was about to die, didn't want to just be like "You don't love me, you're a stalker you jackass." So she just gave him what he wanted to hear.
