Yeah, Earnest didn't take the potion, but it ironically made him actually finally live his life to the fullest before he died. Actually fell in love with a woman that wouldn't use him and actually care about him, had a big family etc. And his memory will live on while the two ladies suffer forever decomposing, but never dying.
I always nominate Sydney Pollack's 'death diagnosis' as the funniest cameo. And that's Sally Kellerman showing up to the empty waiting room, informing Bruce Willis that the 'dead' Meryl Street was taken the morgue. "She's be FURIOUS-!!"
I didn't see this film for many years after release, and forget Bruce Willis' funeral. I only remembered him dangling and falling, so upon rewatching, I really loved that part. But the original release was a great, large theatre crowd and everyone was thrilled. It launch a few days of conversations - "Take it or not?" The serious injuries were well displayed, but how many times does a person skin an elbow? Bump a toe? The little things would pile up.
"Til death do us part! Well, you girls are dead. And I'm parting." Fun Fact: The film's budget was $55 million. Body Double Fact: Catherine Bell was Isabella Rossellini's nude body double. Casting Notes Fact: Sydney Pollack portrays the E.R. Doctor in an uncredited role. This is the first time that he and Meryl Streep had worked together since Out Of Africa (1985). Automatic Pushup Fact: A pneumatic bra was built to create the effect where Meryl Streep's breasts become higher and firmer after drinking the potion, but the effect didn't look realistic enough. In order to get the shot, Streep's dresser stood behind her, out of sight of the camera, and pushed her breasts into position. CGI Over Practical Fact: Meryl Streep wasn't thrilled that the film relied heavily on visual effects. Streep claimed that shooting the film was like "going to the dentist" and states that the film is her first, last, and only VFX-driven film. Yet it wasn't. In the scene where Helen (Goldie Hawn) sits down onto a shovel handle, she didn't sit in the way she was expected to. So the VFX people at Industrial Light & Magic had to morph the image to make it look like the shovel handle was going through her chest. Original Ending Fact: There was a different filmed end than appears in the theatrical version. It involves Tracey Ullman's character, Toni, helping Ernest (Bruce Willis) in a ruse of faking his own death in order to get away from Madeline (Meryl Streep), Helen (Goldie Hawn), and Lisle (Isabella Rossellini). The plan worked and the two ended up running away to Europe to start a new life together. Many years later, Madeline and Helen, both parodies of their former selves, with cracked, peeling paint and putty covering most of their grey and rotting flesh, are on vacation in Switzerland, yet they are completely bored and miserable. They notice an elderly couple being affectionate and they become envious of them. As the couple gets into a car and drives away, Madeline and Helen realize it's Ernest and Toni and chase after them, only to be hit by an oncoming car and break into pieces.
I'm writing that Universal Pictures should give Death Becomes Her a special Blu-ray release that would include all 25 deleted scenes that were cut from the film and including the film's original Switzerland alternate ending as special features.
They were looking bad because they died and the potion reanimated them, but they no longer had life functions. They were in essence zombies. All the others looked alright because they were still alive.
I had one of the worst theatrical experiences with this. The film burned up twice. Only one other person was in the theater and she made noise and smoked a cigarette, sitting about a row behind me. After the film first burned, she left, came back and the movie was playing, and she was asking me from her seat what happened. I don't know why I didn't think to leave and try to watch it later.
I was twelve and my mom wanted to see this, so I got to see it in the theater at an interesting age lol. Absolutely great performances, particularly Willis. I still crack up to his terrified persona :)
There are so many gags in this movie and Toni probably only laughed at a couple of them. I don't think I've ever seen anyone look so worried throughout this entire movie 🤣
Maybe I was worried about Bruce Willis.... I didn't realize I looked so worried. Maybe I was waiting for the jump scare that never happened. Can't remember what was going thru my head. - Toni 🫣
in retrospect, the message is a bit heavy handed, but the story was good and I have memories of being impressed at the time that Willis would take a role like that since he'd always been an action hero. It's also fun to see two self obsessed, vindictive sociopaths destroy each other. They did find common ground in the end ; ).
This of course is a silly fantasy movie. Surprised that Toni didn't laugh at more of the funnier scenes. I think it is a very fun and funny movie. I loved it the first time I saw it.
I wouldn't take the potion either. Mainly because it WOULD GET boring, and id have to be more attentive about preserving my self. Rather than just taking care of myself. Think about it this way. Youre living now. Doing whatever you're doing in life... imagine doing that forever. Paying bills, having to go to a job, feeling miserable when your sick, having to watch the changing of the times. Heck you may even witness the end of the world!! However, i guess if i didnt immediately suffer a fall to my "death" or have someone shoot me with a shotgun, you can go on living without having to preserve yourself. Those ladies only had to paint themselves because they died but they didnt die. Their bodies died. So, of course their skin is gonna go pale, and the bodies are gonna stiffen, and they'll look like the walking dead eventually. But if you dont get "dead" you look like that pool lady.
Dang, I missed the 'live' show :( Love this flick, LOVE Isabella... daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca). She's great in 1989's Cousins, with Ted Danson, another fun rom watch worth a viewing.
COUSINS is a most wonderful film. It has a feel of a romance, but not exactly with each other - just the great pleasure of discovering a great friend of the opposite sex. It is definitely worth a watch.
Now, a warning. NOW a warning? Even vampires get bored, even depressed, after a few centuries, and choose to stay up on a park bench to watch the sun rise.
Could you add As Good As it Gets to your reaction list? It's such fantastic movie, I am surprised more reactors don't react to it. I've only seen a couple out there. I know that you guys would really love it (if you haven't already seen it). Sorry Toni... you might cry a little, but it will be worth it I promise. :)
please watch these Tom Hanks movies 1.The Man With One Red Shoe 2.The Burbs 3.Splash 4.Big 5.Joe VS The Volcano 6.The Terminal 7.Catch Me IF You Can 8.Bachelor 9.Dragnet 10.Da Vinci Code Trilogy ....I know you guys did The Money Pit. What about Castaway?
i saw this when I was 11 or 12 and had to watch it whenever it was on tv ever since. it became a favorite of mine. I like the ideas of my meryl stepe movies. I strongly recommend the film She Devil. it's more a comedy not really a horror but she was great in it. and worked along side roseanne barr
??AAH, YES I say, YES! It is SCARY, YET Mz. Toni will Laugh & Cheer...... GOOD DAVE, GOOOD! Now, Sit & Enjoy! A Long Life Means Nothing, If It Was Not LIVED WELL...!
While, like most people, there are a TON of movies that I love and are my favorites. However, if anyone were to ever ask me for specifics, I have a favorite film franchise and then an all-time-favorite movie. Now, it’s not like you or anyone else here asked, lol, buuut… my favorite franchise happens to be the Scream films. I absolutely LOVE all 6. And my all-time-favorite movie? Yep! You guessed it, Death Becomes Her! I suppose you can gather the fact that I’m _real_ into horror comedies and dark comedies. lol
please watch these Sandra bullock movies 1.The Net 2.Speed 3.Love Potion #9 4.While You Where Sleeping 5.Practical Magic 6.Who Do I Gotta Kill 7.When The Partys Over
I'll never forget the ignorant teen girls in line in front of me at the box office. Misunderstanding the verb "becomes," instead of asking for tickets for Death _Becomes_ Her, one said, "Two for Death Becomes _Her."_
Love this movie, mostly because of the three leads are the best. Please, before October is over, try to react to either “Fresh” or “ Talk to Me”, both are amazing movies.
Hi guy's, that was fantastic, saw this back in the day at the cinema, excellent show. Glad you enjoyed it, it's actually made by Robert zemekis the same director that did back to the future and who framed Roger rabbit and Forrest Gump amongst others great show thanks very much hope you have a great rest of October hope you will do Halloween for the 31st or something else good. ALL the best 🎉❤❤🎃🎃👍👍
If you choose to react to a TV series, Only Murders in the Building stars Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin, joined in one season by Sting and Nathan Lane, and in another season by Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, and Matthew Broderick.
We actually starting watch it for fun and background noise.... I don't do well when i can't power watch. It makes me a bit crazy when I can't get to the end.... -Toni 😂
David is cute but Toni probably shouldn't do reaction videos since she doesn't, you know, REACT? I mean, I get it, I could watch an entire comedy and be somewhat amused but not actually LOL at all. That's just me. But I'm not the one trying to get views for my "reactions"!!!
This is satire about the frenetic passion for staying young - and as a multi-billion$$ industry it deserves parody. Especially Ms, I think you have missed the point.
Cute and funny don't drive "likes and views". Right now the trend anong viewers is "based on true events", "Oscar winners", and "courtroom dramas". As I've mentioned previously, we are here watching with you because weve come to know and appreciate you, in a sense. We enjoy your personalities and reactions. However, viewers scanning the many, many different "reactors", deciding on a film to check out, will be less likely stop and spend their time on a movie that doesnt "spark something". When a reactor with 12k subscribers receives 100k views (RRR), that is evidence that viewers will stop and watch a film that is fresh or powerful or special in some way. Those new viewers then meet and enjoy you two and a small % will become subscribers. Building a base begins, every time, with bringing potential customers through the doors. They'll stay, like we (current subscriber base) did, to watch more QUALITY films and enjoy your reactions to them. **Might consider updating your "list". ps..I think most of us are with you Toni, and are eager for October to be done. ✌️🎬🤷♀️🩶

That's not Sally Kellerman, she was never in this movie. The actress name is Petra Burchard.

I wouldn't take the potion, I'd rather die. Life has an ending for a reason. You DON'T want to be immortal. Immortality is a curse.
Good point!
I would just stay in the mountains 😊
This movie is a Oscar winner for special effects :) It started a real revolition in Hollywood´s special effects department.
It holds up really well!
I had one of the worst theatrical experiences with this. The film burned up twice. Only one other person was in the theater and she made noise and smoked a cigarette, sitting about a row behind me. After the film first burned, she left, came back and the movie was playing, and she was asking me from her seat what happened. I don't know why I didn't think to leave and try to watch it later.
Haha! I had the best. Saw it with my mother and had a blast 💥

@11:32 Indeed. The shirtless guy was "Nitro" from the original American Gladiators show.
I thought it had an American Gladiators feel with the clothing!

It's also fun to see two self obsessed, vindictive sociopaths destroy each other. They did find common ground in the end ; ).
Simply put the one long nail has always been associated with cocaine use (Person not character.) Grandpa Joe also had one. 😂
Thanks!
This of course is a silly fantasy movie. Surprised that Toni didn't laugh at more of the funnier scenes. I think it is a very fun and funny movie. I loved it the first time I saw it.
It was very entertaining. Maybe I was being cautious and waiting on the scary part. - Toni 😊

it is one of the best zombie movies, ever. I liked the party scene with Elvis and the other Walking Dead.
Dang, I missed the 'live' show :(
Love this flick, LOVE Isabella... daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca). She's great in 1989's Cousins, with Ted Danson, another fun rom watch worth a viewing.
COUSINS is a most wonderful film. It has a feel of a romance, but not exactly with each other - just the great pleasure of discovering a great friend of the opposite sex. It is definitely worth a watch.
