  • I just wish... I just wish that he never took that drugs..

    Why did he have to die? Why did River had to die, god?

    You'll see me up there some day River, but not if i see you first.

    Stand by me is the best movie. I've seen it 17 times in less than 2 months. Got to love it♥

    And River, take care of my little dog as long as she's waiting for me, please. She needs a nice and kind person who spending time with her until i come. I can't wait for meeting her. And i can't wait for meeting you.

  • My science teacher from 7th grade said she was at The Viper Room the day River died.

  • I think River was given bad drugs. I know that all drugs are 'bad', but you know what I mean. How did River come out so cute and Joaquin so scary looking?

  • I am so heartbreakingly in love with him.

  • there is a false account holder on here >>>>> scottlyn101 & missymelfan.. very sad twisted person

  • sliat1981 yes he did have short hair at the time of his death so your right and artifiacialred1083 he had to cut it for the film so your wrong. River was such a awesome actor why did he have to die so young R.I.P river

  • Please prohibit from kids.

  • @ArtificialRed1083 no u r an idiot. look up river pheonix dead on google. moron

  • @ArtificialRed1083 then why in the earlier documentary is he shown in a photo for this movie holding a scene card in SHORT DARK HAIR?

  • river peonix was a cool guy. i like how Lucy Fur did that song about him "Lying Down On The Boulevard" You can tell he was an awsome intense person. I like his brother also. i like how they didnt get him much smileing cause he knew the world is wrong.

  • "I like girls who are natural because I am natural in everything I do.If I meet a girl who is snobby and wants special treatment,she's not going to get it from me because she hasn't earned it.But I've been basically lucky because I've met mostly nice girls- and that's what attracts me." River Phoenix

  • i hope that judy davis cunt is happy

  • he didn't have long hair. he had cut and dyed it 4 the role. u can see from the pic in his coffin

  • River Bottom , mmmm i wonder why they changed they name ?

  • He was the best , ever , period. My God, I love him more than anything. </ 3 He would have been bigger than Brad Pitt,! No lie.

  • 7:57 - 8:20 What a 'hag.'

  • 5:32 - :51 Batman premiere.

  • 5:06 - 5:20 WOW!

  • 3:32 - :50 Hmm?

  • 2:40 - :45 ?

  • The re-enactments should be in black & white.

  • rest in peace u r all way in my thought as well as his family

  • She literally cartwheeled over him? What? LITERALLY? Why would you cartwheel over someone who is dying? So disrespectful. You call an ambulance, you do NOT cartwheel over someone.

  • It wasn't actually HIM when they filmed this. Remember, he had short hair because of his film Dark Blood.

  • Is this material real ?

    I mean, it really looks like River but it's kind of hard to believe that his last day ( or at least parts of his last day) had been filmed.

  • @Mangalaification

    they are very realistic dramatized re-enactments. not real though.

  • is this material real ?

    It really looks like him but it's also kind of hard to believe that his last day or parts of it had been filmed

  • is this material real ?

    It really looks like him but it's also kind of hard to believe that his last day or parts of it had been filmed

  • i know i cant stop people from taking drugs, but if you are a drug user, please carry a bottle of charcodote, its an activated carbon with sorbitol (if you studied organic chemistry, you'd understand the science behind it), known to decontaminate the GI tract from overdoses. Its just like an antacid when you have an upset stomach.

  • why did no one get him into treatment?

  • @pookiewook It seems people did try. There is a story that his agent insisted he attend a few meetings with alcoholics anonymous, and he did; but claimed he wasnt there for himself but to enquire about rehab facilities and counciling for friends he considered to be in need of help. By most accounts River had a tough time admitting he had a problem at all, and he deflected further by organising and paying for friends treatments. Hard to help someone in denial i guess..

  • @rikki444 Yeah, you can't force anyone to go to rehab, especially if they don't want to get better. It won't work.

  • @rikki444 have you read the book, Hunting with Barracudas by Chris Snyder? he was an agent/associate with Iris Burton, responsible for guiding River's (and family) career. There's good insight into River's volatile state of mind in the first handful of chapters. its a good read.

    also thanks for uploading this! take care.

  • @pookiewook he didnt do drugs everyday.. he rarely did drugs,, the thing was , when he did do them, he did unordinay amounts.. deadly amounts.. it was his escape, he hated being a celebrity, he hated fame, he hated that everyone wanted to know about his girlfriend, and all this shit , when there was inhumanities going on.. he was always miserable

  • @pookiewook No rehab or treament of any kind will work until the person either admits they have a problem and needs help to overcome it or has the desire to get off them completely and leave that life behind. Until that happens it wont work.It is a very hard thing to accomplish and the quickest way to derail it is to not want it, to be attempting it for the wrong reasons(others). Even if his family or friends had gotten him into treatment, he would not have STAYED clean unless it was his choice.

  • this all makes sense to me now... if he was off drugs for two months, then started back up on them again taking the same doses he took two months prior, it would be too strong for him as his tolerance would've decreased. that makes it all the more sad, his death was very preventable even if he had continued to do drugs, but use less of them...

  • I wonder if people would defend him so much if he weren't perceived as handsome or young.

  • @alecton he wasn't just handsome and young, he was also a brilliant mind and a kind caring soul. most people could really learn a lot from him. i'm not one to care about the antics, much less the deaths of celebrities but river phoenix really stood for all that is good about people. no one is immune to drug addiction, and his dying from drugs does not make him a bad person. as he said, drugs aren't only for bad guys and sleaze bags.

  • thanks for putting this up,what a sad night all the way around.

  • Comment removed

  • they leave out the part of his being in a sex cult Called Children of God,along with Heath Ledger,sean penns brother,Angelina Jolie,Brad Pit,David Karadine,and so many more...make no mistake it was no Christian cult..It was illuminati Sex cult and it producer all the Big Stars amd Musicians we see today..If they don't do as they are told..they allways end up dead.

  • @BudPeters44 really where did you find this info from thats weird but makes alot of sense

  • @VeroNevermind1990 watch a video called "children Of God" River phoenix..you will see Brad Pit playing a guitar singing before he was famous..if you don't find it let me know will send you link Peace

  • @OutlawzSBT alright thank you :)

  • @BudPeters44 where did you hear that? i cant find anything about them having been in a cult :S obviously river phoenix was in a cult, but as i said, i cannot find any information about the other celebrities you listed. you're feeding into conspiracy theories my friend...

  • @pookiewook im not trying to prove anything...most they have taken off after river phx died..but theres a video on youtube that shows brad pit playing a guitar and singing in the cult..Angelina talked about it on an interveiw back when she was rebelling against her dad..lokk i could careless what you believe..for most its easy to see they don't need to cry conspiracy b/s thats for idiots ..britney spears is one.many parents join just to get thier kids into Hollywood and be rich.

  • I don't like his brother because he hit my niggers

  • @kylas124 You say River is the kindest person you ever met?I always felt that he had a very kind heart even though I never met him personally.If you don't mind me asking did you know him?

  • Comment removed

  • @mistamadscientist

    what? :S He died the 31th, but collapsed October 20th

  • @blahobla oh shit!! my bad, your right.

  • drug junkies

  • R.I.P River Phoenix we miss you and we love you

  • very sad video, but glad people can watch it and remember him, he was a great person and he will be missed forever.

  • i bet he was an a nirvana fan, sporting a kurt cobain haircut

  • @libertineoverdose187 yea he was....Kurt gave him a tribute 

  • THANK U FOR UPLOADING THIS. RIVER WAS AN AMAZING ACTOR & AN AMAZING PERSON. I'M STILL SADDENED BY HIS DEMISE. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S GONE.

  • 05:03- Was that Ecto-1?

  • ...and I had NO idea that he was originally slated to be one of the co-stars in Interview with the Vampire. You learn something every day. R.I.P.

  • River's performance in Stand By Me is still one of the greatest performances that I've ever seen in an actor, regardless of age. Much missed; gone far too soon.

  • oooh shit how did dey gets all dis unique footage of riva??? like of him overdosin!! dat is so disrespecful but he look kinda diferent but i guess it was cuz of da drugs!!

  • @sexykeishaxxx u do know that this is a recreation lol not say real footage, 80% fake footage..

  • @robdmhaze wat da fuck!! okay i had get it!! dis had been a movie base on riva last days like da kurt cobains flick dat had suck so bad an bouts put me in a coma!! who had play riva in dis film an wat otha movies had he been in?? i gots to no dis so i can stalk his imdb page!! he had done such a good job in dis shit he betta win a oscar or imma pop off at da votas who had not give him his award! dat shit aint rite!!

  • @sexykeishaxxx I could not understand a word of what you said. It's like reading baby talk, goo goo, gaa gaa, dis, dat etc, did you not receive an education woman? Not only does it make you look utterly stupid, it also takes the reader a few minutes to slowly decipher each word. Is it so hard to type 'this' or 'that'? We've been using the English language for hundreds of years now with no problems, why do you feel the need to change it?

  • @sexykeishaxxx Ok, finally, after nearly 11 hours, I have managed to decode your post. I googled 'Riva' and all I could find were cheap soviet vehicles made by Lada. Then I realised you must of meant 'River', (it's even spelled correctly at the top of the page in case you were having trouble). And don't even get me started on Joaquim (Akeem as you referred to him as). I decided to avoid any future discussions about the Pheonix (fe-nicks) family thereafter, good luck getting an answer.

  • @sexykeishaxxx dude can you speak normal i assume your english

  • @DuckSmuggler1 an bitch can you learn da diference in your an you're!! yea now wat fuck face!!

  • if he didnt die Leonardo Decaprio would never have happened

  • that one guy looks like one of the nuttys from one flew over the coo coos nest

  • River had short hair, why this 1 had long hair

    I miss u so much River :( xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • rip river you will always be my hero i called 0055 to make sure it wasn't true.

  • i remember the day he died i wanted to believe it wasn't true i called up 0055 to make sure it wasn't true even at 13. rip you will always be my hero river.

  • river was far too good to die this way,he was a genius of both acting and music.

  • amo a ese niño !

  • He had short , dark hair during the filming and died that way

  • Love these Final 24 things. I wish they had more available on YT. They're one of the best series on here.

  • Thank you for posting this!

  • river was such an amazing actor I loved him in stand by me so sad that he died

  • @TavarnaGarvey The scary thing is he was only 23 when he died...thats the age of my h2b...thats really scary!! When your like 8 years old you think thats 'old' but its not still a young adult!!! It's a shame...and very sad as he was a very talented, gorgoeus actor!! xxx

  • wow this fight below is rediculous.

  • cant we just get along?

  • THANKS FOR THE TEARS ON MY KEYBOARD.

  • kalie quit it, wtf is wrong with u.

  • kalie, die in a hole skank

  • fuck you.

  • FUCK YOU!

  • @kalie3331 kirk camron is that you?

  • maybe wearing a wig for the movie role?

  • I thought he had short hair when he died.

  • yeah i remember an article saying that he had cut his hair due to his last movie he was shooting...i think Dark Blood?

  • oh lol just watched the video, yeah he had his hair short for Dark Blood

  • Well at least he went out like a rockstar...

  • assholes are always quick to judge

  • You judged me as an asshole. LOL  You may be right about being quick to judge. LOL

  • oh no i am not judging you

    everyone knows your are an asshole

  • no hes not dead i dont want him to be no i just found out now and am shocked

    no no noooooo XD jessie

  • than you are delusional

  • I remember hearing about River I was in 12th grade my friend at school told me .I was so sad .

  • I would love to see this show do a show on and about Layne Staley-AIC) That would be great.

    I believe he never had the rezonation that he deserved..

  • You don't know how much I agree with you.

  • Hey thanks, there's alot of Laynes fans out there like us two. Ive tried to find there web site to suggest that to them but still working on it.

  • Yeah. I felt like since Kurt Cobain died at the prime of his career, he got alot of attention, but since Layne was reclusive for alot of years before he died, he didn't get much recognition, which makes me sad since he was soo talented.

  • I tottaly hear you and agree..

  • Yeah totally

  • and actually if you look at past comments alot of ppl say how inaccurate this is. So maybe we're all wrong. Either way im a fan of river phoenix and I enjoy anything I read/see about him. Im here for him not to prove a point to anyone

  • Hey thanks, maybe if we all support that idea we can get this show to do one on Layne...

  • i'm buying this on dvd! :)

  • R.I.P. River you are missed. Your light went out way too soon. Thanks for the memories.

  • I MISS YOU RIVER....R.I.P.

  • For what it's worth, his hair WAS in a black buzzcut around the time of his death- there's a photo of him in his coffin & he looks completely different to this.

    But they at least interviewed people who actually knew him, so this isn't a complete disaster.

    RIP River...

  • Hya matooli :) Yeah that is what I said a month ago, I think they kept the actors hair long so he looked more like River. x xmirandaxx

  • I was just gonna say this bio is actually really inaccurate. I have read alot about river and this night. They are way off

  • so whats the real story then?

    msg me please? ;)

  • Comment removed

  • How the hell do YOU know? What YOU read coulda been what is inaccurate.

  • I know his hair wasnt long like this is trying to say. Everyone knows it was cut short for dark blood and secondly your right I could be wrong, but I know that none of us were actually there and arguing over youtube/internet is childs play. So please stress so more over my possible "inaccurate" comment as a matter of fact give it a thumbs down. Whatever makes you happy

  • he was made to have sex by age 4...and then demonized by hollywood. im a musician and i cant emulate his music, his acting is emaculate. takes a shit on brad pitt and or keanu reeves or some vampire twilight two bit wanna be actor, u people just dont get it

  • Ohh, we just don't get it because grahamfarman is the only artist in the world other that River Phoenix. Hey graham? Why don't you fuck right off with your pretentious bullshit? It adds nothing to the conversation at hand and makes you look like an idiot No wonder you can't see the hypocrisy in Phoenix, you are as hypocritical as he is.

  • i dont see the hypocrisy you speak of...river spoke out about a better world. he had flaws, that makes him a shitty person? fuck off

  • There's is no fucking way you're my age. You have the maturity and intelligence of a child.

  • Wow you're a tough bitch with no compassion, huh? The dude is fucking dead, so jut let it go. You didn't know him so you have no right to call him a hypocrite and everything else that you're spewing at him. Yeah, he made some mistakes and had some problems, he was only human. He's been gone for almost 2 decades and you're still bitching about him, on the internet, nonetheless. And then you attack people for not being as 'intellegent' as you? Grow the fuck up, man. You're just as bad as the media

  • amen!

  • I don't think anyone knows exactly what happened to him on that night.

  • What, how do they know all these things about

    his drugs habit? ;o

  • by talking to friends, relatives, etc.

  • No one will ever be as good as him in any way. Just, why.

  • I wonder why they didn't have the imitator with the same haircut that he had when he filmed Dark Blood, it was short & died jet black. It's long in this & I don't think it was even black? hmmm?

  • I love this series.

    They should have done one on James Dean, and it would have been complete!! :D

  • I know! Maybe you should write a letter or start an online petition. :)

  • Didn't they do one on, JD, Juan? Try searching it out, I'm almost positive that it's on this site.

  • poor phoenix

  • He was a prophet.

    I'm so sad he was taken so quickly from us. But his light does shine on.

  • LOL... a prophet!??! What makes him a prophet? People are in love with the notion of these actors dying for their art or beliefs.. HE LIKED DRUGS.... HE DID TOO MUCH ONE NIGHT.... End of story... not really prophetic in my humble opinion... a dumbass maybe, but not a prophet... ROFL

  • Maybe *prophet* was the wrong choice of word, and for that I stand corrected. But in as far as him being a very bright light, even enlightened there is no question at all. Many of his ilk burn bright then burn out as quick - the exit is a matter of karma. Anyway this is one of his quotes: *I can't on my own change the regime in South Africa or teach the Palestinians to learn to live with the Israelies, but I can start with me.

    River Phoenix *

  • As much as I liked Pheonix as an actor, I only saw him as a hypocrite in life. Spouting off at the mouth about how healthy he was and that we should emulate his lifestyle choices, while in secret he was smoking and doing drugs. Sorry, but if someone isn't walking the talk, it's just talk.

  • Maybe he didn't hide his smoking and drug habits out of hypocrisy, maybe he was thinking about his positive or negative influence on his fans. Children, teenagers often like to copy an their idols. Sometimes they copy their idols in each habit. Maybe he didn't want them to have the same problems. Who knows.

  • It doesn't matter what his reasons for hiding his habits were, it still makes him a hypocrite. If he had hid his habits and held no platform about drink and drugs then that would have been another situation entirely however, he did speak out against those things, while all the time he was using them.

  • You're right about that! But personally, for me motives are important, why someone does something. If his reasons for hiding his habits were noble, for me he wouldn't be a hypocrite. If he had negative reasons for hiding them, then yes, I would see him as a hypocrite and dislike his character for that, though still admire his work (for example, to maintain a nice image in front of everyobdy, only so he can make more money, those would be greedy reasons and negative) But we don't really know.

  • maybe he was made to do those things, speak out about how to emulate him, that was his job. his art says otherwise, which is the truth. in real life he didnt give many interviews, he wasnt in commercials. how would you feel if you were made by hollywood to be inhuman. you know nothing of what you are talking about. open your eyes.

  • Agreed.

  • wow u sound very self righteous. we are alll human! he wasnt an angel or a saint

  • No, he wasn't an angel or a saint, vanityandlove, he just acted as though he were on in the press. ERGO, HE WAS A HYPOCRITE.

    Learn the meaning of a word before you post an idiotic, non existant argument.

  • actually smart ass, im well aware of what the word means. What you have said made me think that you think he is some kind of an angel and how dare he make a mistake. You havent said one thing and done the other at least once in ur life? well then god bless you, We should all fucking be like u!

  • You're sincerely an idiot. My mistakes are my own and yes, I have said that I was going to do one thing and then done another, on many occasions, but never in the context of telling others, in a holier than though way, that they must DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. Hence, unlike River Pheonix, I am not a hypocrite.

    And no, honey, you don't know the meaning of the word hypocrite. Your idiotic points more than prove that fact. I hope that this example helps, though.

  • Just a random thought: Does anyone know what percentage of the English speaking world actually has a TRUE grasp of the language? I've been getting comments from people who want to argue because they haven't an adequate grasp of English to even understand what my point was, let alone debate it.

  • his mistakes are his own then right?? People asked him abour his beliefs and he spoke about them so what? his veganism had nothing to do with his health and many people have said that. If you actually took the time to read about him then judging (LIKE YOU ARE HOLIER THANTHOU) you would understand it and why he turned to drugs as an escape

  • just a random thought. I wonder why people who hate River Phoenix, think he was just some junkie or a hypocrite, come on his sites and harass people who just want to enjoy his work and celebrate his life...hmm

  • Show me where, in my comments, I expressed hatred for River Pheonix?

    Mother fuck me are you thick.

  • haha and you are so mature with your name calling...dont tell me you are 14? lol good luck with life

  • I see we're down to ad hominem attacks because you haven't had a defensible argument yet. AD HOMINEM, go look that up, as I know that a medical moron, like yourself, wouldn't have those words readily at your disposal.

    I'll get you started: It's Latin.

  • keep on going with the name calling...you just look stupid.

  • Interestingly, reading back through the comments, it was your own HYPOCRITICAL self who started the name calling by calling me a "smart ass".

    No wonder you have no idea what the word hypocrite means. We humans, by our very nature, aren't programmed to see our own faults.

    Full circle, the irony is too fucking sweet!

  • Scratch that, you called me "self righteous" in your very first comment to me, leaving the playing field wide open.

  • Who contacted whom first, thick cunt?

    Look, if you just want to talk about what stink finger stimulation Pheonix was for you go watch a fan vid. There will be plenty of vapid, sub intelligent twats, like yourself, there with whom you can discuss how much RP made your 'ginie tickle and how much you liked his "actoring".

    Don't come to a video about his controversial death looking for sunshine and lollipops.

    If my child were as stupid as you I would beg my husband to eat it.

  • so agree with you!!! I think people that upload videos of RIVER should approve the comments before posting...so that shitty bags dont have chance to bark !!!

  • you are a smart ass...everyone is human and we all make fucking mistakes so leave the dead guy alone...end of conversation. Dont bother responding...i wont be commenting back

  • do you realize when you you uses word like "cunt" you just come off as stupid and lame. You really dumb yourself down. You dont know me so your words dont bother me...so keep on going...i love how riled up you are...hilarious =D keep on going hunny

  • If my words didn't bother you you wouldn't bother to post a comment, after you said that you weren't going to comment, to point the fact out.

    You're stupid, vanityandlove, and I didn't even have to say anything to make that fact apparent, I just had to keep you talking. Go practice your hair and makeup. You're never going to have anything more than your physical appearance to offer anyone, anyway, so you may as well learn to use that to the best of your, limited, ability.

    Ta-ta.

  • ''Go practice your hair and makeup. You're never going to have anything more than your physical appearance to offer anyone, anyway, so you may as well learn to use that to the best of your, limited, ability"

    and you know me to make stupid assumptions? okay whatever you say. Whatever helps you sleep at night

    nah, im just hoping you know how much you dumb yourself down when you use words like that. Thats not how you get your point across hun

    tata

  • "and you know me to make stupid assumptions?"

    No, but I did look through your favorite videos. Mostly hair and make-up tutorials.

    Which upped the simple

    stupid+hypocritical

    equation from this page to:

    stupid+hypocritical+vapid+like­ly a very plain looking girl with low self esteem who thinks that make up and hair is going to help her live some sort of substantial existence that will compensate for her lack of intelligence or introspection.

    Although, it won't.

    Poor little thing.
