Chevy Chase is my favorite comedian of all time. Fletch and Fletch Lives are two of his best. I would also check out original Vacation, Funny Farm, and Seems Like Old Times.
"Why don't we go lay on the bed and I'll fill you in?" Fun Fact: Gregory McDonald, the author of the Fletch novels, had casting approval over the film. He rejected both Mick Jagger and Burt Reynolds before he decided on Chevy Chase for the lead. Location Location Fact: At the end of the movie, when Fletch hops over the fence and walks along the pool area to gain access to Alan Stanwyk's house, it is the same house used in The Godfather (1972) when movie director Jack Woltz (John Marley) finds the horse head in his bed. Lost In Adaptation Fact: In the original novel, Chief Karlin and Alan Stanwyk were separate adversaries who were not working together. In the novel, Fletch broke the "drugs on the beach" story which resulted in an indictment against Chief Karlin. However, he had eluded arrest and was a fugitive by the end of the story. When Fletch confronts Stanwyk at his mansion about faking the cancer, it's discovered that Chief Karlin had followed Fletch there and shot Stanwyk from outside the house by accident. He was actually trying to kill Fletch. In the novel, as well as Gregory MacDonald's other Fletch stories, Fletch is sarcastic and jokey, just not as light-hearted as Chevy Chase's portrayal. In the books, he's much more cynical and mean-spirited in his humor.
Are you looking for movie suggestions? If so, let me make some animated suggestions: Wizards (1977) The Hobbit (1977) Heavy Metal (1981) The Last Unicorn (1982) The Flight Of Dragons (1982) They are all very unique animated movies. They range from kids flicks to very adult. All five are available to "buy" or "rent" here on the RUclips Movies channel, so there's no availability excuse.
There are some funny jokes with the names he chooses. Ted Nugent is a famous musician. When he says his name is Mr. Poon, poon was U.S. slang for vagina at the time, as in “I’m going to get drunk Friday night and find some poon.” Igor Stravinsky was a Russian composer.
Hey lezy, glad to see you back, hope all is well, this is a true cult classic. Excellent. Thanks hope you enjoy this one. Cool . thanks lezy, enjoy! ☺😎❤💕👍💻📺📀📼🎧
This was a fun little movie, Lezy. I haven't seen it in a long time, but it's pure Chevy Chase with a lot of one-liners, and witty quips. Just about all of his movies are like this one. 🤗👍
I've never actually watched this movie. I know it was popular when it came out. Tim Matheson? I think the blonde was on Seinfeld, and he dropped her toothbrush in the toilet and then wouldn't kiss her.
@@randall-king OK, not toothbrush in toilet, but she offered Jerry her toothbrush and he refused, cause he saw her eating discarded pecans. Jerry's place was being fumigated, and Kramer was sitting there and could no longer taste his peaches.
It’s interesting that you mentioned Beverly Hills Cop and the music. The same composer did that movie and this movie-Harold Faltermeyer.

1:20 the investment in those disco lights are paying off!

Here's a few Chevy Chase comedies I recommend.. "Seems like Old Times" (1980) , "National Lampoons Vacation" (1985) "Modern Problems" (1981)
Thanks🤗
Seems Like Old Times gets little mention. I think it is one of his funniest roles. Funny Farm is also good.
"Enjoyable!" raves Lezy of Unwind Reactions
You're just starting and pick Fletch to go with?! A classic! Try "Raising Arizona"
There are some funny jokes with the names he chooses. Ted Nugent is a famous musician. When he says his name is Mr. Poon, poon was U.S. slang for vagina at the time, as in “I’m going to get drunk Friday night and find some poon.” Igor Stravinsky was a Russian composer.
24:03 then i HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Midnight Run (1988) with Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin
Hey lezy, glad to see you back, hope all is well, this is a true cult classic. Excellent. Thanks hope you enjoy this one. Cool . thanks lezy, enjoy! ☺😎❤💕👍💻📺📀📼🎧

Thank you, hope you enjoy it when and if you do watch the movie though!
great channel and a variety of movies you present

13:57 - No that wasn't him. He was dreaming about playing for the Lakers.
16:10 it's a different version. 😊
🤣🤣🤣
Love to see people react to Old films, You should try watching European Films from 50-70s. Recommended Fellini, La Strada and so on. You’d love it.
2:32 i thought he was 30
Hehehe, I thought around 27 or 28 🙈😄
Please do the 2nd movie FLETCH LIVES
13:23 nice 👍🏼
this movie and your reactions are a gem, chapeau to you
Please react to Airplane, one of the funniest movies of all time
I've never actually watched this movie. I know it was popular when it came out. Tim Matheson? I think the blonde was on Seinfeld, and he dropped her toothbrush in the toilet and then wouldn't kiss her.
Yes, Tim Matheson. I actually did not know his real name, can always remember the faces but never the names 🙈🙈🙈🙈
@@unwindreactions6223 He is in 'Animal House', and one of my favorites, '1941' If you ever watch '1941', I recommend the theatrical release.
The Seinfeld episode was Kristin Davis. She’s not in Fletch.
@@randall-king OK, not toothbrush in toilet, but she offered Jerry her toothbrush and he refused, cause he saw her eating discarded pecans. Jerry's place was being fumigated, and Kramer was sitting there and could no longer taste his peaches.
@@putinscat1208 hmm, that sounds familiar.

Hello unwind
Hello Aran Erem 🙂
The sequel is good but slightly less funny.
