00:02:21.960 Wait, what are you calling my final acting role?

00:02:48.180 post-traumatic Nick disorder,

00:03:05.980 Thanks for having me on my own show, Ben.

00:03:08.320 It's always nice to be here with me.

00:03:10.940 And it's wonderful to be joined on screen

00:03:13.480 by the greatest living maestro of on-screen violence, Dallas Sonnier,

00:03:18.780 I know we're a little crunched for time here because, Dallas, you got the movie coming out right now, and then you're already on set for the next movie. Is that right?

00:03:28.200 It's great. We're rolling them out and knocking them down. I mean, it is awesome. We're already on the next crazy movie that only Daily Wire could make, and I can't wait for people to see it.

00:03:37.780 So now of all the film projects you've done for Daily Wire since you've been here going

00:03:42.280 back like six years now, I can't help but notice that not even one time have I had a

00:03:47.180 cameo getting disemboweled by so I know, but that's okay.

00:03:50.580 I'm not, I'm not complaining or it's your fault.

00:03:54.500 You keep passing.

00:03:57.260 Yeah.

00:03:57.780 Now I regret it.

00:03:58.860 All right. 0.99

00:03:59.240 Maybe the next one I want to get beheaded or something like that. 0.99

00:04:01.360 Okay. 0.96

00:04:02.220 We would, we would, we would love, we would love to have you in a Daily Wire movie.

00:04:05.300 all kidding aside

00:04:06.900 like we're dead serious

00:04:08.120 you have to get

00:04:09.160 put your acting hat

00:04:10.520 back on

00:04:10.980 and get back in the game

00:04:11.980 I'm almost

00:04:12.620 I'm almost dusky enough

00:04:14.240 to have played 1.00

00:04:14.820 a jihadi

00:04:15.460 in the last one 1.00

00:04:16.280 but I'll look at the

00:04:17.940 scripts for the movies

00:04:18.740 coming up

00:04:19.200 Ben

00:04:19.720 what is the topic

00:04:21.000 that is such a miss

00:04:22.800 you with a beard 0.99

00:04:23.800 playing a terrorist 0.95

00:04:24.600 would have been so

00:04:25.800 that would have been

00:04:26.400 all the publicity

00:04:27.100 we needed

00:04:27.560 oh my gosh

00:04:28.880 that'd be great

00:04:29.400 well

00:04:29.720 we are going to cover

00:04:30.880 the most controversial movies

00:04:31.960 which actually you

00:04:32.760 doing the beard thing

00:04:33.440 might have actually

00:04:34.100 made the list

00:04:34.700 but

00:04:35.080 These are some of the best ones from history.

00:04:37.320 Gentlemen, are you ready?

00:04:38.140 I'm ready.

00:04:38.800 All right.

00:04:39.680 In the film The Conqueror, which white American actor was infamously cast as Genghis Khan?

00:04:45.800 Was it A, Marlon Brando, B, Clint Eastwood, C, John Wayne, or D, Kirk Douglas? 0.52

00:04:52.220 Say them again.

00:04:53.200 Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas.

00:04:57.720 Who played Genghis Khan?

00:05:02.220 All right, what do you got, Michael?

00:05:03.540 I just choose to believe it was Marlon Brando,

00:05:06.500 but I don't. 0.99

00:05:07.680 Ah, darn. 1.00

00:05:10.040 Darn. 1.00

00:05:11.220 Look at that great. 1.00

00:05:12.580 That's awesome.

00:05:13.320 I love that.

00:05:13.760 There he is.

00:05:14.240 Let's show it.

00:05:14.840 We got your man, John Wayne.

00:05:16.020 I love that.

00:05:16.360 Look at that.

00:05:17.920 If you're ever in Fort Worth,

00:05:20.020 you have to go to the John Wayne Experience.

00:05:22.280 It is the best museum I've ever been to.

00:05:25.900 That is great.

00:05:26.860 What was the one that Lawrence Olivier, 1.00

00:05:30.320 didn't he play some crazy Arab or something? 1.00

00:05:32.640 The Mad Monty, was that, was that, 1.00

00:05:34.420 I think it was Laurence Olivier, right?

00:05:35.900 Well, let's not get into too many

00:05:36.780 because they might pop up later.

00:05:37.580 They might pop up, okay.

00:05:38.760 All right, Dow's in the lead. 0.91

00:05:40.480 Number two, which 1976 film about the birth of Islam

00:05:44.780 became the subject of a real-life hostage crisis

00:05:47.440 when Hanafi Muslim gunmen seized buildings

00:05:50.580 in Washington, D.C. and demanded

00:05:52.300 that the movie be withdrawn from theaters?

00:05:55.040 Was the movie A, Lawrence of Arabia,

00:05:57.220 B, The Message, C, Lion in the Desert,

00:06:00.120 or D, The Last Temptation of Christ?

00:06:03.500 You don't hear about this one.

00:06:04.780 I feel like it was kind of memory-hold

00:06:05.980 that this happened,

00:06:07.120 but it definitely did.

00:06:08.100 Multiple buildings in Washington, D.C.

00:06:12.140 Say it's B, The Message.

00:06:14.480 What do you got?

00:06:15.380 Yes.

00:06:16.640 Correct.

00:06:17.180 It is B, The Message.

00:06:18.360 The thing is,

00:06:18.800 I know that Dallas is going to get them all right,

00:06:20.700 so if I have the same answer as him,

00:06:22.680 I know that I got it right.

00:06:23.900 That's why I have you guys

00:06:24.660 write them down beforehand.

00:06:25.620 Yeah, okay.

00:06:26.240 All right.

00:06:28.040 Actually,

00:06:28.400 the filmmakers deliberately avoided depicting the prophet Muhammad on screen that producer

00:06:32.560 Mustafa Akkad even offered to destroy the film if the gunman watched it, but the gunman still

00:06:38.080 found the defensive. Why do you call him the prophet Muhammad? Are you a Muslim now? He's

00:06:41.700 not a prophet. Why do you call him the prophet Muhammad? You know, I can't spell at all or read

00:06:47.580 off prompters very well. So I just put it through to correct it. And that's just what it corrected.

00:06:50.600 I didn't even notice it. It corrected. Wow. Man, Grok has gone native. That's crazy. All right.

00:06:56.520 All right.

00:06:58.800 Number three, despite playing an Australian actor who used blackface to portray a black soldier,

00:07:03.840 Robert Downey Jr. received which recognition for Tropic Thunder?

00:07:08.260 Was it A, an Academy Award nomination, B, a Golden Globe nomination,

00:07:13.380 C, a Screen Actors Guild nomination, or D, all of the above?

00:07:18.820 Oh.

00:07:23.620 I say SAG.

00:07:24.980 I think it was C.

00:07:26.520 the correct answer is d all that's awesome that's so great we used to have fun you know

00:07:33.200 things didn't used to be so crazy i was torn because sag is the most lib group of all of those

00:07:38.380 but i i thought there was no way the academy would would reward him for that but they did

00:07:43.960 well this was this was right as barack obama was ruining comedy and rock and roll and saturday

00:07:50.140 night live and the whole world. Yeah. It was before it had, the destruction was complete.

00:07:55.780 Yeah. Okay. I didn't realize, I knew there was some award, which I was looking it up and it was

00:08:00.940 all of them. It is crazy that you could have done a role like that just like 15 years ago. It was

00:08:06.160 totally fine. Insane. Uh, actually I do want to mention this too. The Academy award, he got beaten

00:08:11.960 out by Heath Ledger. This was the, uh, posthumous, uh, award that he won for the dark night. So

00:08:16.820 So Robert Downey Jr. may have won the Oscar that year.

00:08:19.420 He got robbed.

00:08:20.640 Heath Ledger was good in that movie,

00:08:22.160 but Robert Downey Jr. got robbed.

00:08:23.640 It's outrageous.

00:08:25.340 Number four, which movie used more than 100

00:08:28.300 largely untrained lions, tigers, leopards,

00:08:31.960 and other big cats, resulting in injuries

00:08:33.560 to dozens of cast and crew members?

00:08:36.420 This is wild.

00:08:38.540 Is it A, The Ghost and the Darkness,

00:08:41.080 B, The Island of Dr. Moreau,

00:08:43.340 C, Roar, D, Born Free?

00:08:46.820 i've only ever heard of one of those movies all right what do you got michael i said i said b

00:08:56.800 because it's the only one i'd ever heard of c the correct answer is roar hey dallas is absolutely

00:09:04.260 destroying this game have you ever had an injury from an animal on set dallas uh uh well yes uh

00:09:12.400 many times uh pita is my biggest fan um uh but usually usually it's us you know like we we you

00:09:22.780 know we've we in the first run height fight movie we shot a deer on on screen we hired a hunter and

00:09:28.040 did it ethically and everything like that and it was it was the way it should be did you like use

00:09:34.340 the meat and like make moccasins out of the skin and yeah we we we ate uh the meat and then we gave

00:09:41.080 all the rest of the meat

00:09:42.200 to a food bank

00:09:42.940 and they loved it.

00:09:44.180 That's great.

00:09:44.780 It's actually,

00:09:45.340 yeah, what's the objection to that?

00:09:46.520 I don't, yeah, okay.

00:09:47.980 That's awesome. 1.00

00:09:48.820 Because the liberals suck. 1.00

00:09:51.180 Yeah, that's it. 1.00

00:09:52.300 That's it. 0.76

00:09:53.040 They don't want,

00:09:53.620 they hate us for our freedom.

00:09:54.820 Now thinking back,

00:09:55.700 I was like,

00:09:56.020 that scene was really realistic

00:09:57.180 and now that totally makes sense.

00:09:58.440 That's an incredible way

00:09:59.400 to do that.

00:09:59.700 That's great.

00:10:00.360 No CGI deers

00:10:01.420 on a Dallas movie.

00:10:02.480 No.

00:10:03.760 Fun fact,

00:10:04.480 the movie was later promoted

00:10:06.020 using the tagline,

00:10:07.140 quote,

00:10:07.580 no animals were harmed

00:10:08.660 in the making of this film.

00:10:09.840 70 cast and crew members were.

00:10:12.280 Unquote.

00:10:14.120 Well, the crazy thing about Roar

00:10:15.920 is the guy who filmed it

00:10:18.600 ended up getting the rights

00:10:20.040 to The Exorcist.

00:10:22.120 So, and he went

00:10:23.580 and was the catalyst

00:10:25.720 to getting The Exorcist made.

00:10:27.060 So without Roar,

00:10:28.240 there's no Exorcist.

00:10:29.960 Also, Tippi Hedren

00:10:32.120 and Melanie Griffith

00:10:33.380 are in that movie,

00:10:34.680 which is bizarre.

00:10:36.180 So Roar is a wild one.

00:10:39.580 Wow.

00:10:39.840 And Melanie Griffith has no relation to Merv Griffin.

00:10:43.780 I don't think so.

00:10:44.920 Yeah, okay.

00:10:45.440 I just wanted to, we're doing trivia and Dallas is destroying me.

00:10:48.320 So I just wanted to throw that one out.

00:10:49.880 Anyway, Ben, what's the next question?

00:10:51.220 All right, number five.

00:10:52.040 Mickey Rooney wore makeup, taped black eyelids,

00:10:55.000 and a prosthetic mouthpiece to play the Japanese landlord,

00:10:58.620 Mr. Yanoshi, in which movie?

00:11:01.260 Is it A, The Pink Panther, B, Breakfast at Tiffany's,

00:11:04.780 C, The Tea House of the August Moon, or D, Sayonara?

00:11:09.840 i know dallas knows this go ahead i've seen like five movies in my life i don't know what dallas

00:11:22.140 what is it breakfast at tiff michael what do you got don't don't you do it what no

00:11:29.500 which is cool because spoiler alert the credits roll and run hide fight infidels

00:11:39.000 over the song Breakfast at Tiffany's. 0.98

00:11:41.180 It does, yep.

00:11:41.880 Hey, well, yeah, I put Breakfast at Tiffany's.

00:11:44.900 Like, this is the character, Michael.

00:11:46.560 Wow.

00:11:47.480 Here's the actor that played him.

00:11:48.920 This is the best part.

00:11:49.700 Like, this is actually,

00:11:50.400 but looking back at it,

00:11:51.180 I was like, okay, I see where they were

00:11:52.820 kind of offended by this one.

00:11:54.300 Yeah, wow, Mickey Rooney.

00:11:56.040 Very versatile.

00:11:56.780 I was looking up, like, reviews of it as well,

00:11:59.440 and there was a lot of people, 0.97

00:12:00.420 because it's kind of an iconic feminist, 0.97

00:12:01.680 like, role movie,

00:12:02.500 and a lot of the liberal people were like,

00:12:03.620 look, we can't support this movie anymore

00:12:05.500 because of Mr. Yenoshi.

00:12:06.700 It's just too offensive.

00:12:07.540 They gotta, like, redo it or something.

00:12:08.820 It was great.

00:12:10.160 All right, number six.

00:12:11.020 Which controversial film featuring the Ku Klux Klan

00:12:13.500 was screened at the White House

00:12:15.060 during President Woodrow Wilson's administration?

00:12:18.180 Is it A, Gone with the Wind,

00:12:19.640 B, Birth of a Nation,

00:12:20.820 C, The Jazz Singer,

00:12:22.160 D, The Great Dictator?

00:12:23.960 Now you're talking about movies I know.

00:12:25.620 I know.

00:12:25.840 Okay, now, you know,

00:12:26.680 there are only like five movies

00:12:27.820 that I watch on repeat all the time

00:12:29.740 for my whole life.

00:12:30.480 So anyway, I think it's B.

00:12:33.480 Hey, you guys both got it.

00:12:34.660 Great job, guys.

00:12:35.520 That was a layup.

00:12:36.400 Just knock it out.

00:12:38.360 All right, number seven, Christopher Nolan was pilloried by some left-wing critics for creating what they called a, quote, fascist film that defended the one percent, portraying popular uprisings as inevitable dissensions into terror, and endorsed a strong man who restores order.

00:12:55.760 Which film was it?

00:12:57.280 Was it A, Batman Begins, B, The Prestige, C, The Dark Knight, D, The Dark Knight Rises?

00:13:06.040 Oh. 0.72

00:13:06.520 This is another one of Michael's favorite fascist films.

00:13:20.280 Yeah. 0.99

00:13:21.640 I think it was Batman and Robin where George Clooney had the nipples. 0.82

00:13:26.820 Do you remember that one? 0.93

00:13:28.600 Yeah.

00:13:29.140 That was the one that Father Mike Schmitz auditioned for, right?

00:13:31.900 Oh, yeah.

00:13:32.560 He was up for Robin in that movie.

00:13:33.960 Yeah.

00:13:34.460 Father Mike Schmitz, biggest podcaster in the world.

00:13:36.520 Catholic priest.

00:13:37.380 He was up for Robin Hood. 0.97

00:13:37.880 Whoa.

00:13:38.480 Yeah.

00:13:39.320 That weird.

00:13:39.840 That's awesome.

00:13:40.640 Yeah.

00:13:41.120 That's weird.

00:13:41.460 What do you got, Michael?

00:13:42.180 I said it's The Dark Knight.

00:13:42.740 I'll make sure to cast him

00:13:43.860 in a Daily Wire movie

00:13:45.760 before you.

00:13:46.540 That'd be awesome.

00:13:48.540 All right.

00:13:49.000 C.

00:13:49.540 Michael, you had C?

00:13:50.420 Yes.

00:13:51.120 The correct answer is D.

00:13:52.180 The Dark Knight Rises

00:13:53.380 is the third one.

00:13:56.240 They all blend together

00:13:57.700 in my mind.

00:13:58.940 Wow.

00:13:59.660 Yeah, I don't remember it.

00:14:00.800 I don't even remember

00:14:02.140 the plot of The Dark Knight.

00:14:03.120 I just remember

00:14:03.560 it was pretty good.

00:14:05.060 It was great.

00:14:05.480 I actually, I was in LA and they had a special three IMAX back-to-back-to-back showing of the

00:14:10.700 Dark Knight trilogy and Christopher Nolan showed up to it. It was only like a $60 ticket because

00:14:14.500 it sold out in like five minutes and it was awesome. It was 10 hours straight through. It was

00:14:17.860 sick. It was so much fun. Wow. Wow. Yeah. All right. Number eight, what happened to Margaret

00:14:23.080 Hamilton while filming the Wicked Witch's fiery disappearance in the Wizard of Oz? A, she broke

00:14:29.960 both legs. B, suffered

00:14:31.900 serious burns. C, she was

00:14:33.820 temporarily blinded. D, she was

00:14:35.940 hospitalized for smoke inhalation.

00:14:38.700 One of these horrible things happened

00:14:39.980 to her while filming that last scene.

00:14:42.120 Hmm. I actually know the answer

00:14:43.900 to this one. I remember

00:14:46.200 watching, they used to air it

00:14:47.980 as a kid, like on network TV once

00:14:50.040 a year, and then they'd have all these little interviews

00:14:51.820 with the surviving Oompa Loompas or whatever, and I actually

00:14:54.020 remember this whole thing. Okay.

00:14:55.620 Yeah.

00:14:57.240 It's B, she was burned.

00:14:59.960 See, correct.

00:15:00.880 She was burned.

00:15:01.740 Yeah.

00:15:02.500 It was like the pyrotechnics went off.

00:15:03.720 The door didn't open,

00:15:04.700 so she was stuck there.

00:15:05.500 She was a trap door.

00:15:06.400 And so, yeah, it's pretty wild.

00:15:08.900 It's crazy this stuff that happens on set.

00:15:10.280 I heard there was,

00:15:11.740 the way the burns hit,

00:15:13.160 this isn't even a joke,

00:15:14.200 I heard that there was a chance 0.99

00:15:15.760 her skin would remain green

00:15:17.160 or something like that.

00:15:18.000 That it was actually,

00:15:18.520 the makeup was part of the problem.

00:15:21.320 I don't know if that's true.

00:15:21.880 Well, you know,

00:15:22.180 according to the Hollywood Reporter,

00:15:24.380 we killed two people 1.00

00:15:25.420 on Run, Hide, Fight Infidels. 1.00

00:15:27.040 Yeah, that's right. 1.00

00:15:28.060 They actually say that?

00:15:28.560 because Jonathan Majors

00:15:30.520 like stubbed his toe

00:15:31.260 or something

00:15:31.720 they fell out of a window

00:15:33.460 this high

00:15:34.140 and landed on some dirt

00:15:35.860 R.I.P.

00:15:38.160 yeah the headline

00:15:38.980 Jonathan Majors

00:15:39.940 falls out of a window

00:15:40.840 but it's like

00:15:41.640 they don't

00:15:49.780 we used it in our branding

00:15:50.860 yeah

00:15:57.480 But you can't watch it before I have you watch this trailer for it.

00:16:27.480 They've taken over the building.

00:16:29.480 They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.

00:16:32.480 I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.

00:16:36.480 We cannot run and hide.

00:16:38.480 Muhammad is the messenger of God.

00:16:41.480 There is no God but Allah.

00:16:44.480 What do you say? 1.00

00:16:46.480 We turn those SOBs into a fine red mist. 0.99

00:17:52.780 Okay, here we go.

00:17:54.260 All right.

00:17:54.520 A Paris movie theater was attacked with Molotov cocktails by Catholic traditionalists in 1988 while showing which controversial film?

00:18:03.220 Was it A, The Exorcist, B, The Last Temptation of Christ, C, The Da Vinci Code, D, The Passion of the Christ?

00:18:11.980 In, would you say 1978?

00:18:15.000 It was in 1988.

00:18:16.840 88.

00:18:19.420 That's the answer.

00:18:20.420 The Da Vinci Code. I think it was The Da Vinci Code, right? In 1988?

00:18:23.820 We'll find out.

00:18:26.000 Is it B?

00:18:27.480 Yeah.

00:18:28.260 The correct answer is B, The Last Temptation of Christ.

00:18:31.540 No, I've never seen it.

00:18:33.060 And don't intend to.

00:18:35.020 Do you know who played Jesus in it?

00:18:36.440 No.

00:18:37.820 Overrated.

00:18:39.340 I think it was Martin Scorsese and William Dafoe played Jesus, right?

00:18:43.880 That's right.

00:18:44.700 I've never seen it.

00:18:45.340 Harvey Keitel is amazing in it.

00:18:47.520 And William Dafoe is amazing in it.

00:18:49.000 But the movie is real small.

00:18:50.380 Yeah, those are both great actors.

00:18:52.280 Apparently, 13 people were injured,

00:18:54.040 including four who were severely burned.

00:18:56.860 In The Last Temptation of Christ.

00:18:58.720 No, in the theater, the Molotov cocktail.

00:19:00.900 Oh, okay.

00:19:01.780 Well, in either way, God is not mocked.

00:19:03.960 So, you know, deal with it. 1.00

00:19:05.680 It's not just the Muslims who get a little ornery sometimes. 1.00

00:19:08.140 There you go. 1.00

00:19:09.220 All right, number 10.

00:19:10.580 Before Disney's live-action Snow White

00:19:12.700 became a dumpster fire for many reasons,

00:19:15.000 which celebrity pilloried the original story

00:19:17.320 as, quote, backward?

00:19:18.980 Was it A, Hornswoggle, the WWE wrestler,

00:19:21.820 B, Peter Dinklage.

00:19:23.520 C, Danny DeVito.

00:19:24.940 D, Martin Short.

00:19:27.220 Is it A?

00:19:31.800 A, it was.

00:19:33.600 What did you write down, Dallas?

00:19:35.640 Peter Dinklage.

00:19:36.460 Peter Dinklage.

00:19:37.460 Peter Dinklage is correct.

00:19:39.520 B.

00:19:40.780 Wait, said that.

00:19:41.580 I got to give Daily Wire credit for this.

00:19:43.680 They, the company is responsible for 33% of the change on, on, on Disney, on this one.

00:19:52.720 But hold on.

00:19:53.560 I'm just confused about the question.

00:19:55.020 So hard.

00:19:56.060 Y'all went after it so hard.

00:19:57.840 Y'all were mocking it.

00:19:59.040 Every host was mocking it.

00:20:00.580 I swear this was just daily where I gets a ton of credit for suing the Biden administration.

00:20:06.840 They don't get enough credit for changing, you know, into back, back into the little guys.

00:20:12.800 yeah yeah no i'm i'm confused though was it it was the question who who was calling the original

00:20:19.260 story backwards or who was calling the casting decision backwards he was calling the original

00:20:24.700 story is backwards oh yeah it's peter dinklage it's so it's so complicated they went from

00:20:30.640 like sort of you know they were going to cast uh little people yeah and then they were going to

00:20:37.140 cast weird like you know united colors of benetton uh yeah wacko and then a photo leaked of them all

00:20:46.080 doing reshoots during during the strike which they weren't allowed to do and then daily wire

00:20:50.920 just started making fun of it and it just on and on and on and then it got replaced replaced with

00:20:55.360 cgi dwarves it was such great content for us for like a month it was awesome and i had to shout out

00:21:01.560 my man hornswoggle the wwe star i just did i was doing a movie with him at the time of this

00:21:06.320 controversy. He was so mad at Peter Dinklage. He's like, dude, this is like the best roles

00:21:09.260 ever for us. You kidding me? Why are you ruining this? Dinklage said like one of five roles that

00:21:15.600 we can possibly get in Hollywood and we shouldn't get it. So stupid. It's crazy. What a moron. 1.00

00:21:21.120 And his entire community came out and said, don't do this. We want those roles. Yeah. Crazy. 1.00

00:21:27.220 So crazy. All right. Number 11, which group organized protest against Tropic Thunder for

00:21:32.960 for all of its offensive stuff in the movie?

00:21:34.720 Was it A, animal rights groups,

00:21:37.540 B, racial justice organizations,

00:21:39.760 C, disability rights organizations,

00:21:42.080 or D, military veteran organizations?

00:21:53.540 Every time Michael starts drawing,

00:21:54.660 it's gonna be something offensive.

00:21:58.100 How long does it take me to color in blackface?

00:22:00.020 Yeah, no, here it's... 0.90

00:22:01.480 Hold on, hold on. 1.00

00:22:02.960 here we go all right what do you got c never go full retard there you go that is correct they 0.94

00:22:12.260 weren't mad about the black face or the stuff it was actually making fun of simple jack the 0.93

00:22:16.380 simple jack thing got them in a lot of trouble that's right that's right yep what a great movie

00:22:20.800 that was a great movie i haven't gone back to watch it in a very long time oh it's incredible

00:22:26.180 Yeah.

00:22:26.680 10 out of 10.

00:22:28.060 All right.

00:22:28.540 Number 12.

00:22:30.180 Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy The Interview

00:22:32.360 became the center of international crisis

00:22:34.520 after hackers attacked Sony Pictures

00:22:36.740 on behalf of what offended country?

00:22:39.940 Was it A, China, B, Russia, C, North Korea, or D, Iran?

00:22:51.900 Oh, no.

00:22:52.660 This was such a funny attack, too,

00:22:56.400 just because all the emails that were released

00:22:57.840 about people's, like, personal interactions.

00:22:59.700 Oh, it's amazing.

00:23:02.000 Oh.

00:23:02.640 So fun to read everyone, like, making fun of each other

00:23:05.180 in the emails and stuff.

00:23:06.380 That was more fun than the actual event.

00:23:11.820 I'm checking my watch now because I'm bored 1.00

00:23:13.500 because I know Dallas is a hard out. 1.00

00:23:14.760 I said North Korea.

00:23:16.200 And then you can see it's the north part of the peninsula.

00:23:20.660 It's uncanny.

00:23:21.860 Isn't that amazing?

00:23:22.660 I gave him the double chin.

00:23:23.540 You saw that?

00:23:24.040 There you go.

00:23:24.920 Those are correct.

00:23:25.680 Good job, gentlemen.

00:23:26.960 All right.

00:23:28.460 13.

00:23:28.980 Which movie reportedly had to shorten a puppet sex scene repeatedly to avoid an NC-17 rating?

00:23:35.760 Was it A, Happy Time Murders?

00:23:38.340 B, Meet the Feebles?

00:23:40.020 C, Team America World Police?

00:23:41.520 D, South Park?

00:23:43.060 Bigger, longer, and uncut?

00:23:48.400 NC-17.

00:23:49.560 it's like a muppet christmas

00:23:53.700 area what do you got team american world police that is correct gentlemen what an amazing film

00:24:04.060 to the film actors guild just a stroke of genius i'm matt damon so many iconic lines

00:24:11.580 Well, I need Judas.

00:24:18.760 It's not about sex.

00:24:20.000 It's about trust.

00:24:21.580 All right.

00:24:21.960 Number 14.

00:24:22.860 Apocalypse Now famously endured a chaotic production that included a typhoon destroying the sets,

00:24:29.020 its leading man suffering a heart attack,

00:24:30.940 and filming stretched from a planned 16 weeks to well over a year.

00:24:35.000 The American Humane Association gave the film a, quote,

00:24:37.800 unacceptable rating because it included

00:24:40.240 graphic footage of tribesmen

00:24:41.960 slaughtering which animal?

00:24:44.320 This actually is a great callback

00:24:46.060 to Run, Hide, Fight. Was it

00:24:47.660 A, a cow, B, a water buffalo,

00:24:50.420 C, a goat,

00:24:51.880 D, a chicken?

00:24:55.500 Oh, man.

00:24:56.500 And when you rewatch this, it's wild.

00:24:59.280 It's like, oh, they really did it.

00:25:01.740 What do you have, Michael?

00:25:04.360 Putting art together.

00:25:05.620 We have three minutes.

00:25:06.840 Is it The Water Buffalo?

00:25:08.300 It's The Water Buffalo B.

00:25:10.580 All right.

00:25:11.080 And actually, the director, Francis Ford Coppola, said that they were going to do it anyway, kind of thing.

00:25:16.220 And so it was part of one of their ceremonies.

00:25:17.820 Anyway, but people were really mad about it.

00:25:20.140 It is.

00:25:21.340 There are movies that are more fun to watch, and there are movies that are, quote, better.

00:25:26.020 But it is the greatest movie achievement of all time.

00:25:30.280 It's up there with some of the greatest because it's so hard.

00:25:34.500 There's so many characters.

00:25:35.520 there's so many storylines

00:25:36.780 there's so many locations

00:25:37.940 just an unbelievable feat

00:25:40.000 everyone is perfect in the movie

00:25:41.900 it is

00:25:43.420 I consider it the greatest production

00:25:46.400 of any movie of all time

00:25:47.980 yeah and Marlon Brando

00:25:49.200 he's just looking so fit

00:25:50.700 and healthy

00:25:51.320 and good

00:25:52.560 well here's the thing

00:25:54.260 you gotta be careful though

00:25:55.440 because he's put out multiple cuts

00:25:57.120 so you gotta go find

00:25:58.180 this very specific cut

00:25:59.740 called the final cut

00:26:01.040 it's not the redux

00:26:02.700 it's not the theatrical

00:26:03.800 it's not blah blah blah blah

00:26:04.900 the final cut. It's got the whole sequence with the French family that's embedded in the country

00:26:11.640 and things like that. Very, very wonderful movie. Interesting. And reportedly, he shot more than

00:26:17.360 one million feet of film. Wild. Yeah. All right. Last question here. Number 15, which actor's

00:26:24.040 final role famously involved wearing a Native American headdress and attire while intentionally

00:26:28.760 mocking indigenous culture and heritage in a raunchy, politically incorrect comedy? Was it

00:26:33.900 A, that half-gay guy from the student film, 0.99

00:26:36.420 B, the guy from the chocolate bar commercial, 0.78

00:26:38.380 C, Michael Knowles, or D, all of the above?

00:26:41.720 You know, dude, that's so funny.

00:26:43.980 I didn't even put together what that bit was.

00:26:47.200 You're right.

00:26:47.980 I forgot I did that movie.

00:26:50.140 I think we have a photo of it.

00:26:51.420 It's like, wow, do we?

00:26:53.800 Wait, what do you call my final acting role?

00:26:56.440 Dallas just offered me a job.

00:26:57.860 You're talking about my final acting role?

00:26:59.480 Currently, it's the final job.

00:27:00.760 I'm leaving you in the dust, and I'm going to go work for Dallas.

00:27:03.100 let's let's fix let's fix that yeah why it's so outrageous listen to him look at listen to him

00:27:09.920 he's dancing on the grave of my acting career and now just for that now i gotta come out of

00:27:13.680 retirement it's outrageous we're gonna find a new job after this the great tragedy of course

00:27:18.980 is that neither of you have been in a daily wire movie uh in any role of any substance except for

00:27:24.620 lady ballers a couple of cameos and we haven't made an andrew clavin movie how is that possible

00:27:30.720 That's the actual.

00:27:31.420 How's that possible?

00:27:32.340 What are we doing?

00:27:33.140 Yeah, I mean, look.

00:27:33.860 We're not serious people.

00:27:34.720 It's commendable that you haven't put Davies in anything.

00:27:37.780 It's, you know, moderately upsetting that you haven't put me in anything.

00:27:40.840 But we do have to make an Andrew Klavan movie at some point.

00:27:43.900 We have to.

00:27:45.140 Yeah.

00:27:45.620 Yeah, I agree.

00:27:46.380 It's also unreal how much Dallas absolutely destroyed you in this game.

00:27:50.780 I got destroyed.

00:27:51.580 So to the victor goes the spoils.

00:27:53.000 Michael, can you give 30 seconds worth of compliments to Dallas Sonier?

00:27:55.880 I can.

00:27:56.220 I started out by giving compliments to Dallas.

00:27:58.460 He is the greatest living connoisseur and executor of on-screen violence.

00:28:03.360 You can see this on full display in his entire oeuvre, but certainly in the Daily Wire films from the very beginning.

00:28:10.500 The first film that we released, which is Run, Hide, Fight 1, and now you can see it in Run, Hide, Fight Infidels at dailywire.com slash subscribe.

00:28:19.400 If you don't come watch this movie and subscribe, we're going to have to make budget cuts and fire Ben Davies.

00:28:26.180 So hold on a second.

00:28:27.300 This ad isn't actually going the way that I thought it would.

00:28:29.780 I'm not really being persuasive anymore.

00:28:31.780 Well, never.

00:28:32.240 I'll tell you what. 1.00

00:28:33.140 Just for you, if you don't watch Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, we will keep Ben Davies. 0.99

00:28:38.860 So if you want any chance of kicking him off this show, make sure you go check out Dallas' latest movie,

00:28:44.840 the latest movie from The Daily Wire, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels. 1.00

00:28:47.800 I don't want to spoil anything, but a Muslim kicks a homosexual off a roof. 1.00

00:28:53.840 How was that? 1.00

00:28:55.200 That was awesome.

00:28:56.840 And, you know, since this is your show, Michael,

00:28:58.320 and Dallas has to leave, like, right now,

00:28:59.640 will you just close this out real quick?

00:29:01.340 Yes.
