this is so kick ass!!! "filler up with ethyl!!!!" where he blasts the radio with the 1911 is awesome. Tom Camp is the pilot...a legend in his time...still a legend.
Thanks for making me laugh - This is my favorite movie and John makes me laugh so hard I cry sometimes and its just great! "Filler UP- Ethel!" Where? OMG LMAO
There were guys like this for real at Pearl HarborGeorge S. Welch and Kenneth Taylor, both second lieutenants in the U.S. Army Air Corps, spent Saturday night at a dance at the Wheeler Field officers club, followed by an all-night card game miles away from their home base at Haleiwa. After the all nighter, they were going to take a morning swim when they heard Pearl Harbor being bombed. Welch got on the horn to have their Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk fighters armed and fueled, then Jumped into Taylors car and raced to Haleiwa hitting 100 mph at one point and getting strafed by the second wave of Japanese the groundcrew had the planes running when they got to the airstrip. Welch and Taylor formed up a patrol over Barbers Point, and shot down two Japanese planes before returning to the airfield for more fuel and ammunition. "Get the hell off my wing!" Welch had to kick the groundcrew off the plane because they wanted to "disperse" it instead of rearm and refuel. These guys were classics.
You should have added the scene where Warren Oates says "Let me hear your guns,I wanna hear what they sound like.YAK!YAK!YAK!"Then he shoots the hell outta that base.LOL!
I get that Trek. I'm just saying as a pilot, landing the million dollar artifact right wing low next to fence posts and with a rate of descent on the right main gear almost enough to damage it and turn the stunt into a disaster. Then he picks the tail right up off the ground showing us he has time in the P-40. This was either really done on a large runway and put into the frame or that guy is a little crazy, but also pretty good.
Since seeing this film I always wanted to fly a P-40, hood back and cigar clenched between my teeth - tried to smoke a cigar flying Dad's Piper Arrow and it's not quite the same thing.
There were a lot of composit effects in this movie so it's hard to tell, but if that's a real P-40 landing on that road, that pilot is skilled, also nuts.
Not exactly: the P-40 model of the Flying Tigers (or AVG -American Volunteer Group) was older (though in this movie they pretend this P-40 to be one of such model); and they wore Chinese insignia, while this one bears US markings.
The movie is so old, the P 40 May have been flown by an original WW2 pilot. And the P-40 was not worth a million dollars back then. This is a very old movie. Seen it when new.
I´m not sure. This film is supposed to be settled few days after Pearl Harbor, in Dec 1941, but the AVG was active and fighting at that same time (it disappeared in March 1942). In other words, I find it chronologically unlikely, since nobody can be in two (or more) places at the same time... unless WBK abandoned the AVG or was fired from it soon enough to turn an US pilot and find him flying over the Grand Cannyon (and Hollywood) while the AVG was fighting in China... A bit messy, I know.
We almost lost wwII because of him . It keeps me up at night the thought of losing our entire country because of a buffoon like this . It was only due to the efforts of real brave and handsome men like John Wayne that we live in a free country . . . . What ? . . its only a Movie . . . ? . . . . I accidentally pushed "Enter" instead of deleting this . :(
crazy son of a bitch. look to heven and say howe many moore are up thier??????1 cuz only one john...see u on da other side..p.s thanks for the laught,s
All America🇺🇸...love this men...👍😆😁
Since I saw that movie as a kid,P-40 is my favorite WWII fighter.
I love it.
Never get tired of this clip !!! lol
Brilliant, my favourite scenes from '1941' are with Wild Bill Kelso. Not mentioning seeing good old Curtiss P-40 in action. Thanks for publishing!
I'm going to have to go rent it this weekend. Haven't seen it in ages. Great stuff!
Those canyon flying scenes & the landing on the road was some quality stuff in this movie. Who doesn't like the P 40?
:-)) perfect, what a wonderful movie
Fill 'er up! ... Where? lol
One of my Favorite Movies!
One of the first movies I ever saw. Wanted to become a pilot ever since, lol! R.I.P. John Belushi.
Love the sound of that P40!
John and the P 40! My favorits!
Possibly one of Spielberg's greatest efforts - and his most underated.
Such a classic.
Spielberg's best work in my opinion. Very underrated movie.
this is so kick ass!!! "filler up with ethyl!!!!" where he blasts the radio with the 1911 is awesome. Tom Camp is the pilot...a legend in his time...still a legend.
"..better check him for stilts..."
i saw this movie when i was a kid...all i ever wanted to be was wild bill kelso..
The entrance John makes at the beginning of this movie is classic! Thanks so much for posting.
America's True HERO!!!
That man is my vote for the most tragic loss in the history of comedy.
Thanks for making me laugh - This is my favorite movie and John makes me laugh so hard I cry sometimes and its just great!
"Filler UP- Ethel!" Where? OMG LMAO
First Class!

I have a full size P-40 replica in my back yard. Look at the size of that thing- no wonder I have no room to move around
The craziest man in the whole Air Force.
Kelso: "Fill er' up, with ethyl."
Woman: Looking up and down plane, "Where?"
Priceless.
That is the craziest SOB I ever saw lol
Always makes me laugh when I see any of those scenes.
holly-WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
crazie and wounderful movie
Good old "Texas Switch" at 1:08
Wild Bill Kelso is the greatest hero of all time! :D
Awsome movie John at his best
This movie sucked, it was a flop
He's Good!!! ;)))
... cool + charming episode!*
RIP John Belushi
My personal theory about Wild Bill Kelso is that he's a war scarred former Flying Tiger, recently recruited into the USAAF.
You should have added the scene where Warren Oates says "Let me hear your guns,I wanna hear what they sound like.YAK!YAK!YAK!"Then he shoots the hell outta that base.LOL!
I'm wild Bill Kelso and don't you forget it.
Actually, I care!!! What a great move, and he kept the landing gear under him!
0:45 - 1:25 The gas station Snakeorama and the actor Lucille Benson from the movie Duel (1971).
"That is the craziest son of a bitch i ever saw...how many more like him do you think are up there?" lmfao.
Which is actually the point of the scene. Wild Bill Kelso is supposed to be nuts.
Damn right.
Saw this in the theater when it was released. Have the LP soundtrack and the magazine.
i know they was like--this is a store not a airport

I love this movie!
critics are wrong.
👍😁

0:16 I love that scene "Eh?.....Lost..."
Not that anybody cares, but that's a nice little "slip" the pilot pulls to put that bird on the road at 0:42
Haha, Sky Captain only WISHES he had an ounce of the guts and bravado of Captain WILD BILL KELSO! AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!!
Fucking awesome and epic lol
@william76950 I'm with ya about the jets. Some anyway. Who doesn't like a F-15?
If they ever remake this movie, I think Jack Black would be perfect for reenact Capt. Bill's part!!!
Remake the movie? Are you crazy? No way to duplicate greatness of the original.
I am lost.
Really No shit Wild Bill.
Is Wild Bill supposed to be a Flying Tiger? Those guys were nuts. They were flying mercs recruited in China.
Not exactly: the P-40 model of the Flying Tigers (or AVG -American Volunteer Group) was older (though in this movie they pretend this P-40 to be one of such model); and they wore Chinese insignia, while this one bears US markings.
Hard to believe they made that guy an officer, isn't it? lol
LOL Maureen Johnson.
hollywood has never been worried about wrecking anything for a buck. planes included. great scene at the gas station.
Best landing eva! 0:45
The movie is so old, the P 40 May have been flown by an original WW2 pilot. And the P-40 was not worth a million dollars back then. This is a very old movie. Seen it when new.
Thumbs up if you relized that was the wrong modle p 40!

Does anyone really care? It's a very entertaining movie, not a documentary.
My favorite film, fuck Spielberg and anyone that dislikes it, and don't you forget it!
@AlanMartinNala couldn't he be an ex-flying tiger, now enlisted in the USAAF?
@kolbpilot
I THINK THE REAL PILOT WAS THE GREAT FRANK TALLMAN
how many more do ya think is up there? too many!
How odd. The resemblance between the fictional Kelso and the historical Gen. Curtis LeMay.
Coincidence?
0:56 - 0:57 = LOL
They just don't make movies like this any more
I'm wild Bill Kelso, so ....
How the hell is that scene from the U-boat from the end of this movie ?
@monkeynuts76 Damn Right
