@yoitsSmitty2004 Yeah. Considering they thought his performance was "Too disturbing" this scene could probably be even more creepy than it already was.
When this was rented out for me and my sister to watch, I was watching it by myself and when he got run over by the steamroller I was okay with it because getting run over by cars is something that has been seen before in cartoons, then when he was getting off the floor and fill himself with the air with his eye falling onto the floor I was beginning to get a little creeped. When he showed his face to the camera I started to get more creeped out and then when he started to talk with the crazy hand drawn eyes and high pitched voice I was totally and utterly scared beyond belief, ran out of my room to my parents in the living room crying with fear, they were wondering what was wrong with me. I was 6 or 7 when I watched this thing....
Scenes like this is why Eddie Valiant is one of my all time favorite movie heroes. In the course of the movie, he overcomes a deep rooted prejudice, kicks his addiction to alcohol, and avenges his murdered brother. The way Eddie looks so scared of Doom when he sees those red eyes, but still fights and keeps his head. He’s a good man, a brave man, and damn good character.
Very well said. IMO Judge Doom was a literal demon of self-hatred...Not only because he was a toon who wanted to destroy other toons but he alone was the trigger for Eddie's alcoholism. Eddie hated himself for failing to save his brother, and ran away from who he was in a bottle. Eddie rediscovered his roots (as a Ringley Bros clown) and utilized them to defeat the weasels, then subsequently erased Judge Doom with toon comedy props.
The part that creeps me out most is when we first see Doom's flattened body slowly peel itself off the floor. It's probably the best example in the whole movie of how truly disturbing "cartoon physics" can be when removed from it's original context and applied to real life. Normally a toon would unfurl themselves in seconds and be back on their feet, but the way they linger on Doom slowly rising up, accompanied by visceral crackling and creaking noises like old rubber, not only helps the big reveal set in our minds but also highlights how truly unnatural and unnerving it is. The slow, soft piano music (I think it's a piano) gives this scene a dreamlike quality that quickly turns nightmarish.
Whats more creepy is that Doom's eyes When He misses Eddie with his disk-saw-hand thingy, his eyes looks like the snails eyes with this brain controlling parasite in it.
Christopher Lloyd never ceases to amaze me with his incredible versatility. He’s played everything from a toon to Uncle Fester on the Addams family movies to a Klingon warrior on Star Trek. Arguably the greatest character actor anywhere.
@@LucasLeguisamon-kl1rx oye ¿cuál es tu problema? Y no maldigas "verga"🤬 porque te daño ver la serie mexicana como El Señor de los Cielos, no voy a olvidar ese actor, yo extraño todavía mis tías Elda y Xotchil cuando murieron
>Literally unkillable other than one specific weakness (Paint Thinner) >Can spontaneously create dangerous weapons and objects out of nowhere >Can blend in with a human skinsuit like a replicant in bladerunner >Completely, absolutely insane Yeah, the idea of a Toon killer in a world where Toons and Humans share the same reality is absolutely terrifying when you think about it.
Thus marks the one and only time in the movie that Judge Doom addresses Eddie Valiant by his first name. Up until this point, he always addressed him as Mr. Valiant.
He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.
Tim Curry auditioned for this part. He didn't get it, but it wasn't because he was bad. Quite the opposite, it was because he was _too goddamned good._ He was absolutely fucking terrifying. So terrifying that the producers and director all had to take a minute and go, "This is way too good, we're going to traumatize an entire generation of kids, very very badly." So the part went to Chris Lloyd. Who was still terrifying. But man, what I wouldn't give to live in the universe where the movie runners were like, "you know what, fuck them kids" and we got to see Tim Curry's Judge Doom
And at the end neither the audience nor the characters know what he even looks like under that human disguise. Considering how diverse toons are, that means Doom could be anyone or anything under that disguise which makes him terrifying. We don't know what he looks like or even what his motivations are outside of doing everything for his sadistic amusement
And unlike the other toons, he doesn't seem to be acting at all and is a genuine sociopath. Even ones like the Big Bad Wolf and Pete are portrayed more as cases of nice characters being casted in villain roles
Judge Doom as a Toon twist was not just shockingly unexpected but also scary including that glaring daggers. He was finally got served in an ironic fashion when he got melt to death by the weapon(aka The Dip) he planned to wipe out the Toons, Wicked Witch of the West style. Thus, Eddie finally avenging not just his late brother but the poor shoe that Judge Doom killed earlier.
@Gabe_Gamer That's right. After Doom popped off his disguise, Eddie's look was like he was saying "oh my gosh, it's him, I recognize those boiling red eyes and that high squeaky voice" since he told Roger Rabbit that whichever toon killed his brother had boiling red eyes and a high squeaky voice.
@@saberiandream316 That's unknown because I'm sure Eddie knew how to defeat Doom once realizing he's a toon where Eddie knew that the "Dip" is the only way to have Doom killed and Eddie succeeded by using the pop out hammer to turn on the "Dip" machine.
@@afriendofbean He got lucky. There was no larger plan, he was just trying to survive, and fighting toons with a toonish item seemed like a good idea to stay alive. I don't think he was expecting it to hose off more Dip.
@@saberiandream316 Well that could be true but, he probably knew that the Dip would kill Doom after seeing that Doom was a toon feeling that the Dip was the only chance. Eddie of course was lucky to see that toon pop out hammer which was his only chance but, if he never saw it, I wonder what he was going to do since it wasn't as if Doom had him tied up on the floor so he would have to get up to try to defend himself.
@@meganfarley5302 well it's obvious isn't it? he'd know those burning red eyes anywhere, and that high squeaky voice, he remembered him very well the day Doom killed his brother
That fact that his true form traumatized me as a kid easily places him as one of the most memorable movie villains of all time, if not among the greatest. He is a psychopath, kills toons without mercy or remorse, and can change the form of his arm like the Green Lantern or T-1000 at the drop of a hat. Easily one of the most dangerous villians.
@@SasuNaruL0vR80 Not just the eyes, I would say his psycho expression along with the removal of his hat showing his hair, and also his teeth added to it. A distinct transformation.
I had this movie on VHS as a kid in the 90's and I don't know how many times I've watched it. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies of all time. It's from 1988 and it holds up well today 2024...wtf.
Even after seeing Fire in the Sky at a younger age, nothing terrifies me as much as Judge Doom does when his voice starts breaking to reveal himself to Eddie
Fun fact: Tim Curry auditioned for the role, but didn’t get it. Not because he was bad, but because he was too good. The director didn’t want to traumatize the kids even more than he already had.
I watched this movie so many times as a kid that I can remember when Judge Doom played by Christopher Lloyd was killed by the late Bob Hoskins I was rooting for that especially after Judge Doom murdered that poor squeaky shoe I felt that him melting by the same toxic dip was justifiable.
The toon dress up as Christopher Lloyd was killed by Bob Hoskins. While the real Christopher Lloyd was preparing to reprise his role as Doc Brown in the next two Back to the Future films
I like how you can see Eddie as he watches Doom melt, his face is a mixture of horror, having already seen what the Dip did to that poor shoe, and righteous fury at having avenged R.K. Maroon, Marvin Acme, and especially his brother Teddy.
Not wanting to see any *real* harm come to any toon was always a big aspect of Eddie's character, especially in Act III of the film when he's his "old sober self" again. Ironically, it's one of the reasons why Judge Doom was able to kill Teddy Valiant. Apparently, neither brother considered that they may *have* to hurt the robber (with diluted paint thinner) in order to protect themselves. Therefore Eddie blamed/hated himself for it and also felt so betrayed by the toon community that he wanted nothing to do with them, leading to alcoholism to cope with all of that. Eddie showing some sign of being disturbed by even the most loathsome of toons dying is evidence that all of his bitterness is gone.
@Stefano Pavone Probably due to the fact that he sees Doom's agonized hybrid face...That mask/hood on electric chairs was for the witnesses for a reason.
@Kei Fox That's correct especially maybe Eddie has felt that his toon hating days are over now that he found out who the real toon murderer was that murdered his brother and proved it to Roger Rabbit by kissing him.
I'm just now learning that Judge Doom's high pitched voice was provided by Corey Burton, one of my favorite voice actors. He may have only had one line, but it was very memorable nonetheless! His delivery of that single line still haunts me even years after first seeing this movie. Edit: Two lines when you include Doom's death scene.
I remember reading how Bob Hoskins had to imagine that he was really talking to Roger and the other toons to the point he would hallucinate seeing them. Apparently it went on for months after the movie due to how intense it was in his acting to make sure that it came off like he was actually dealing with Roger and the others when there wasn't anyone else in the scene but him. Also how his children were mad that he got to work with Bugs Bunny along with the others and he never brought them home to see them was funny.
This makes me wonder what exactly Bob Hoskins was imagining/recalling *in this scene* since his terror is so palpable (he even weakly hyperventilates) I wonder if he ever had a near death experience in his youth in which he reacted this way and was told to recall it for this scene (Zemeckis reportedly told Hoskins to imagine the sexiest woman of all time in his scenes with Jessica.)
@Ms Anne Thropp he had an abusive relative and even when he was older before the relative was murdered he was still intimidated so he imagined like the relative came back to life
The movements he makes after getting flattened are so disturbing LOL. Toons in this movie's universe are completely terrifying.. They are invincible to gunfire, being squashed or anything other than the Dip, can turn parts of their body into random weapons like anvils and sawblades that cut through steel chains and can fly through the air to chase you.
Right? I was surprised to see so many people in another forum say that Doom getting ran over was the scariest part. At this point I was familiar enough with toon tropes to figure out that he was a toon...It was everything that came after his inflation that I could not deal with.
The scream when he was getting run over sounded fake. I was scared the most by the red eyes and the buzz saw hand because of how close he got to sawing Eddie in Half.
3:54-4:06 I always knew that Judge Doom deserved it and was happy to see him defeated. However, I've seen some grisly movie death scenes growing up (including ones from horror films) but for the longest time *this one* always frightened and bothered me to the point of being unwatchable for years and giving me nightmares. Now I know why, it's the rapid oscillation and subsequent merging, between expressions. Doom's convincingly human expression of agony then cartoonish expression of fear and pain, then finally a cursed blend of the two, at the same time...Then of course the screaming and whimpering and convulsions at the end don't help; forcing me to register the abomination as having a life, and feelings.... This is why learning who the actor was destroyed the fear : then re watching in my teens I was like "Ah yes, Christopher Lloyd is being extra ; this is normal."
I specifically came back to this one clip in order to see what I feared so much about it as a kid. Watching it now it seems so silly but back then I just couldn't. I really loved this movie as a kid but the ending always scared me. I used to repeat movies a lot as a kid but this vhs movie was one I watched only twice.
@@sakumaFR I was the same way growing up with movies. I would re watch WFRR about 75% of the way through and then after the Toontown sequence I'd turn it off, because I...I just couldn't deal. Even seeing Judge Doom in his human guise on screen during the "Freeway" monologue filled me with anxiety and dread because I knew what was coming.
I didn't remember this scene, the one that completely tortured me as a kid was the friggin shoe getting dipped mouth first and just pleading for its life with its eyes
@@iliakatster That scene actually bothered me more the older I got. Because when I was real little I would always turn my head/shut my eyes right before it made contact with the dip, so I didn't notice all of the details of the shoe's suffering until I was 10+ or so.
several things scared me as i grew older and rewatched this movie: The way Doom says 'when I killed your brother, I talked just like THIS' means Doom was probably listening to Eddie when he was talking about his brother's death in the theatre scene. Secondly, the more you watch this movie knowing the plot twist, the more details you notice indicating that Doom's actually a toon. Like the way he puts on a glove before putting that poor toon shoe in the Dip around the movie's beginning, at first you'd think he just doesn't wanna get dirty, but then you know it's because he doesn't wanna get hurt either- same for that scene in the bar where Eddie spills Dip on the ground and Doom quickly backs away.
Doom wasn't anywhere near that theatre to hear that conversation. Otherwise he would have made certain that Roger got detained then subsequently dipped. The Valiants had a strong reputation in the toon community so when the then unknown toon grand larcenist (who later called himself "Judge Doom") crushed one of the Valiants with a piano, he already *knew* that they were brothers. Doom's comment at the end of his introduction scene "I would think YOU of all people would appreciate that" is alluding to the fact that Doom *knows* that a toon murdered Eddie's brother in the same manner as Marvin Acme. Eddie doesn't suspect anything at this point because with the lack of respect the LAPD is giving him, he assumes that someone told Doom about his brother's murder. However the deleted scene ("Pighead Sequence") shows that Doom knew about Eddie's Toontown PTSD (a big reason to delete the scene. It gave away too much)
Don't forget that the fact that we never even see what Doom looked like under that disguise. Not even the other toons knew what he looked like. Let that sink in
I was ten when this first came out. I was already really liking the movie, but as a kid, this was some twist, and cemented my love for the film. One of the funniest, weirdest, coolest fight scenes, and remembered being on the edge of my seat with excitement and anticipation. Showed the movie to my daughter back when she was about 6 or 7 a few years ago. Her mouth dropped open when she saw Doom get up as toon, and she mouthed the words: "What the?" Great to know it still captivates the mind of a child.
@@melissacooper8724 I was too intent on watching her mouth drop open and feeling that childish glee in me being able to see it again through her expression upon him getting up as a toon, that I don't remember her reaction to Doom's high pitched squeal and confession. But every time I try and decide which part hits the high note for me (no to pun to Doom's squeal), I think it's the whole package of the whole scene - as a kid, you haven't even gotten over the first really big plot twist (Doom's a toon) before another one is thrown at you (Doom is the toon that killed Eddie's brother). It's so intense, exciting, thrilling, sad (for Eddie) but thrilling (now Eddie can get revenge), it's so hard to put into words other than it was pure magic.
Always wondered why he did that at 2:50 did they think the audience and Eddie didn't know what a saw was and its effects were, otherwise still a traumatic scene.
I hadn't noticed until now, but the way Doom dies and his screams seem to be a nod to the death of the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz, who melts when water is poured on her.
It also cracks me up how Judge Doom puts his hands on the roller as if trying to stop it from crushing him. A vehicle that size easily weighs at least 20 to 30 tons and requires, at minimum, a 100 to 150 horsepower engine. There's no way even ten Judge Dooms could have stopped a vehicle of that size and power by putting their hands on that front wheel.
On that note - did anyone notice that whenever Judge Doom is kicking or pushing at the front roller, it vibrates and shakes just from the impact of his hand and foot? Also, when it's rolling over him, you can even see it lift up a few inches before settling after it passes. That's how you can tell that the steamroller used in the movie isn't even a real vehicle (according to the DVD commentary, it was basically just a large aluminum prop built for the production).
Toons are not exactly masters at critical thinking and self-awareness lol. That and he could be compelled to have those mannerisms because toons are slaves to doing what's funny, even when not in their best interest.
I can’t even pinpoint what’s the scariest thing about this scene, is it the part where Doom gets flattened by a steamroller? Is it the part where Doom reveals himself to have actually been a toon? Or is it the part where Doom slowly dissolves in a puddle of his own concoction while frantically screaming “I’M MELTING!!!”.
Head Canon : Sweet Pete was (indirectly) a victim of Judge Doom's evil, because humans took the events of this film as a lesson that creating toons with free will *and immortality* is a terrible idea, therefore the next generation of toons were given the ability to age.
I was terrified when I first saw this movie. I even had a nightmare where Judge Doom was chasing me like he did with Eddie...ugh just remembering it upsets me...
"That lame-brained Freeway idea could only be cooked up by a toon." This line is particularly notable considering that's exactly what happened. Street Cars were effectively dismantled by the automobile lobby so they could expand heavily into cities via many throughways connected to larger freeways.
This movie is definitely not funny not funny at all and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and who agree with me about what I say
Once in my classroom everyone was talking about this movie and how it is amazing and I said that this movie traumatized me which was this scene in particular and they were saying how it isn't scary at all but looking back at this scene I don't know what they were talking about. It also didn't help watching this movie when I was 8 and it gave me nightmares for a while.
The whole music in the background at 2:35 seriously fits perfect with christopher lloyd!! Having the same musicians in the background in roger rabbit and back 2 the future, chris really pulls it off perfect as Doc and Judge Doom
The music is by Alan Silvestri did Back To The Future, II and III and the music background does sound like in the film but they did a good job in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and it was a best music in the film
With the fact that we don't know what Doom even looks like, it basically makes Doom similar to John Carpenter's The Thing only ten times scarier. Here, instead of a mindless alien monster motivated by survival instincts, here the shapeshifter is a deranged serial killer who's only goal is to kill for the fun of it
Mickey: "Gosh I wonder who he REALLY was?" That is actually what makes Judge Doom terrifying. The fact that he was a toon (instead of a human) and we never see what he looks like. Considering how toons can vary in shape and size, this means that Judge Doom could be anything. This turns him from a cliche ruthless judge into this terrifying formless creature with no rhyme or reason to his goals, no backstory that we know of, and no true form.
Me too and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right
It sounds like Eddie's heart must be pumping with fear from 1:58-2:09 like Eddie's thinking, "oh my gosh, it's him, I recognize those boiling red eyes and that high squeaky voice" since he told Roger Rabbit that whichever toon killed his brother had boiling red eyes and a high squeaky voice.
That humming giggle he does as he peels himself off the floor is still as unsettling now as an adult as it was when I was a kid. Absolutely gives me the creeps, especially when he turns after peeling himself off.
what always gets me is in spite of how outwardly absurd the entire situation is, is that when eddie sees doom's real eyes his expression is one of genuine fucking horror that's the face of mortal terror
I tried to view a reddit post about this scene. It was marked as mature content and wouldn't let me view it unless I downloaded the app 😂 what a demented scene

Tim Curry auditioned for this part. He didn't get it, but it wasn't because he was bad. Quite the opposite, it was because he was _too goddamned good._ He was absolutely fucking terrifying. So terrifying that the producers and director all had to take a minute and go, "This is way too good, we're going to traumatize an entire generation of kids, very very badly."
So the part went to Chris Lloyd. Who was still terrifying. But man, what I wouldn't give to live in the universe where the movie runners were like, "you know what, fuck them kids" and we got to see Tim Curry's Judge Doom
My God that would've been harrowing
They wanted Judge Doom material not Pennywise.
And In the same reailty Tim curry is cast as doc brown
Tim curry was almost the Joker in the Animated series
„Beep Beep Eddie“
Never realized the "I AM MELTING! I'M MELTING!" is an obvious reference to Wizard of Oz.
Christopher Lloyd is so legendary as a character actor.
You ever notice that he never blinked in the movie while he was on screen?
Agreed
Ah yes, Master Xehanort.
Well, doc! We really made this movie terrifying in that moment. You shouldn't be such scary here! XD
He definitely needed to play more villains though. Had the range for it and everything.
Omg. Judge Doom is LITERALLY glaring daggers at Eddie. I just caught that.
As Eddie himself describes him, he's got "piercing red eyes".
@@brianwalters7855 he said "burning red eyes"
@@jcharmaine1 Really? Wow. For the longest time, I thought he said "piercing". Curse you, Mandela Effect!
@@brianwalters7855 yup
Huh. They *are* daggers... here I just thought they were supposed to be rockets, which didn't make sense when he never "fired" them.
Yeah, Judge Doom is truly monstrous. But then you have to think about something worse: as a toon, it means that someone *created* him.
And that as a toon, he could look like anyone or anything under that human costume
And at the end neither the audience nor the characters know what he even looks like under that human disguise. Considering how diverse toons are, that means Doom could be anyone or anything under that disguise which makes him terrifying. We don't know what he looks like or even what his motivations are outside of doing everything for his sadistic amusement
I read somewhere he was a ww2 propoganda film
Judge doom toon melting like wizard of oz
And unlike the other toons, he doesn't seem to be acting at all and is a genuine sociopath. Even ones like the Big Bad Wolf and Pete are portrayed more as cases of nice characters being casted in villain roles
That’s crazy for Judge Doom to be a toon but he looks just like a human.
*No wonder Epic Mickey got the idea for the Dip/Paint Thinner to use as a weapon for the magic paintbrush 🖌️*
As a kid I got goosebumps when Doom revealed himself, I remember looking at my dad and both of us saying "It's him"
Just like the Turtles when Shedder revealed himself to be Oruku Saki at the end of the 1990 film
As the Nostalgia Critic says "Gee, I wonder who did it?"
@@chrisbirch4150out of all the Turtles films that one is my favorite it's a classic that can't be beat.
Judge Doom as a Toon twist was not just shockingly unexpected but also scary including that glaring daggers. He was finally got served in an ironic fashion when he got melt to death by the weapon(aka The Dip) he planned to wipe out the Toons, Wicked Witch of the West style. Thus, Eddie finally avenging not just his late brother but the poor shoe that Judge Doom killed earlier.
As well as Marvin Acme and even R.K. Maroon.
@@taylormansonshadicstorm9008 Yeah, but R.K.? He was a real maroon.
Exactly I hated when he melted that little shoe, I was so glad when judge Doom melted.
Retiring the Baron and saving the Toons must have felt like the height of Eddie's career.
If JP Judge Doom as a Fanart and Harry Kozumi as a Fanart
1:57 Eddie's face in this scene says it all for us.
It says "how the hell can I beat this guy?!"
@Gabe_Gamer That's right. After Doom popped off his disguise, Eddie's look was like he was saying "oh my gosh, it's him, I recognize those boiling red eyes and that high squeaky voice" since he told Roger Rabbit that whichever toon killed his brother had boiling red eyes and a high squeaky voice.
@@saberiandream316 That's unknown because I'm sure Eddie knew how to defeat Doom once realizing he's a toon where Eddie knew that the "Dip" is the only way to have Doom killed and Eddie succeeded by using the pop out hammer to turn on the "Dip" machine.
@@afriendofbean He got lucky. There was no larger plan, he was just trying to survive, and fighting toons with a toonish item seemed like a good idea to stay alive. I don't think he was expecting it to hose off more Dip.
@@saberiandream316 Well that could be true but, he probably knew that the Dip would kill Doom after seeing that Doom was a toon feeling that the Dip was the only chance. Eddie of course was lucky to see that toon pop out hammer which was his only chance but, if he never saw it, I wonder what he was going to do since it wasn't as if Doom had him tied up on the floor so he would have to get up to try to defend himself.
2:00 we know exactly what Eddie's thinking: "OH MY GOD, IT'S HIM, THE TOON WHO KILLED MY BROTHER, ALL THIS TIME IT WAS HIM"
That is terrifying
What for real?!?!?!😨
@@meganfarley5302 well it's obvious isn't it? he'd know those burning red eyes anywhere, and that high squeaky voice, he remembered him very well the day Doom killed his brother
Eddy, you go stop doom. I go rescue Roger and Jessica
Still scary to this day
You know, its scarier not quite seeing the real toon underneath. This weird human/toon hybrid is unsettling enough
This whole scene is so freaking trippy
stuff like this appears in vision on psychadelics. advice dont do drugs
That fact that his true form traumatized me as a kid easily places him as one of the most memorable movie villains of all time, if not among the greatest. He is a psychopath, kills toons without mercy or remorse, and can change the form of his arm like the Green Lantern or T-1000 at the drop of a hat. Easily one of the most dangerous villians.
agreed even tho the only thing they really changed were his eyes THAT is amazing to get such a huge reaction with such a little change
@@SasuNaruL0vR80 Not just the eyes, I would say his psycho expression along with the removal of his hat showing his hair, and also his teeth added to it. A distinct transformation.
And we don't even see what he looks like under that disguise. Sometimes there are things humanity was never meant to see
@@benbarnett5743If you look up an article page of the character, it explains that his identity was revealed in a graphic novel.
I had this movie on VHS as a kid in the 90's and I don't know how many times I've watched it.
In my opinion, this is one of the best movies of all time. It's from 1988 and it holds up well today 2024...wtf.
Even after seeing Fire in the Sky at a younger age, nothing terrifies me as much as Judge Doom does when his voice starts breaking to reveal himself to Eddie
"Who's toonier? You? Or Doom?
Christopher Lloyd always gave me the creeps when I was a little girl especially as judge doom but he was and still is a legend.
He was incredible in Dexter
@@blenderbanana ???
@@nunovski2002 He plays a rival Seriel Killer on the show Dexter. On it's last Good season.
Fun fact: Tim Curry auditioned for the role, but didn’t get it. Not because he was bad, but because he was too good. The director didn’t want to traumatize the kids even more than he already had.
The way Eddie’s tie moves with breeze from the saw blade is just great.
Those little things are what makes this movie amazing.
4:09 he died as he lived: very very moist.
😂
I watched this movie so many times as a kid that I can remember when Judge Doom played by Christopher Lloyd was killed by the late Bob Hoskins I was rooting for that especially after Judge Doom murdered that poor squeaky shoe I felt that him melting by the same toxic dip was justifiable.
I actually liked doom ha
Yeah, but he still got what he deserved.
The toon dress up as Christopher Lloyd was killed by Bob Hoskins. While the real Christopher Lloyd was preparing to reprise his role as Doc Brown in the next two Back to the Future films
@NYCPizzaman about what?
@NYCPizzaman yea he was just took no prisoners
I like how you can see Eddie as he watches Doom melt, his face is a mixture of horror, having already seen what the Dip did to that poor shoe, and righteous fury at having avenged R.K. Maroon, Marvin Acme, and especially his brother Teddy.
Not wanting to see any *real* harm come to any toon was always a big aspect of Eddie's character, especially in Act III of the film when he's his "old sober self" again.
Ironically, it's one of the reasons why Judge Doom was able to kill Teddy Valiant. Apparently, neither brother considered that they may *have* to hurt the robber (with diluted paint thinner) in order to protect themselves. Therefore Eddie blamed/hated himself for it and also felt so betrayed by the toon community that he wanted nothing to do with them, leading to alcoholism to cope with all of that.
Eddie showing some sign of being disturbed by even the most loathsome of toons dying is evidence that all of his bitterness is gone.
@Stefano Pavone Probably due to the fact that he sees Doom's agonized hybrid face...That mask/hood on electric chairs was for the witnesses for a reason.
@Kei Fox That's correct especially maybe Eddie has felt that his toon hating days are over now that he found out who the real toon murderer was that murdered his brother and proved it to Roger Rabbit by kissing him.
The music when Judge Doon reveals himself to be a toon is so creepy. I love it!
3:19, “This is for Teddy”!
I'm just now learning that Judge Doom's high pitched voice was provided by Corey Burton, one of my favorite voice actors. He may have only had one line, but it was very memorable nonetheless! His delivery of that single line still haunts me even years after first seeing this movie. Edit: Two lines when you include Doom's death scene.
Shockwave from transformers was Judge dooms voice, wow
l'm just found out about that myself and always wanted to know who voiced Judge Doom hiug pitch voice.
Two. First the Remember me Eddie? Part and then the I'm Melting part.
Thank you while overall he's played by him his disguise portrayed by Dr. Emmett Brown
Christ I can't look at G1 Shockwave the same ever again 😂😂😂
I remember reading how Bob Hoskins had to imagine that he was really talking to Roger and the other toons to the point he would hallucinate seeing them. Apparently it went on for months after the movie due to how intense it was in his acting to make sure that it came off like he was actually dealing with Roger and the others when there wasn't anyone else in the scene but him. Also how his children were mad that he got to work with Bugs Bunny along with the others and he never brought them home to see them was funny.
This makes me wonder what exactly Bob Hoskins was imagining/recalling *in this scene* since his terror is so palpable (he even weakly hyperventilates)
I wonder if he ever had a near death experience in his youth in which he reacted this way and was told to recall it for this scene (Zemeckis reportedly told Hoskins to imagine the sexiest woman of all time in his scenes with Jessica.)
@Ms Anne Thropp he had an abusive relative and even when he was older before the relative was murdered he was still intimidated so he imagined like the relative came back to life
@@welcometothemovies9157 Wow...This puts more context into the hiatus from acting for his mental health after this film. Thanks for replying.
@Ms Anne Thropp besides he was always great with facial acting. Just watch end of long good Friday
@@welcometothemovies9157 Hoskins was also bullied when he was a kid since he had dyslexia
The movements he makes after getting flattened are so disturbing LOL. Toons in this movie's universe are completely terrifying.. They are invincible to gunfire, being squashed or anything other than the Dip, can turn parts of their body into random weapons like anvils and sawblades that cut through steel chains and can fly through the air to chase you.
That Evil Toon gets a taste of his own medicine.
Yeah, and it serves him right after what he did to that poor shoe and Eddie's brother!
Don’t forget about Marvin Acme and R.K. Maroon.
@@turtlepower4lee right
And setting Roger up for his crimes.
Literally destroyed by what he created
0:51: That friends is NOT how a human would scream.
Idk getting crushed by a steamroller people would scream like that
Also he was a toon, he probably did it to make it look real
hahahahaha
Right? I was surprised to see so many people in another forum say that Doom getting ran over was the scariest part. At this point I was familiar enough with toon tropes to figure out that he was a toon...It was everything that came after his inflation that I could not deal with.
The scream when he was getting run over sounded fake. I was scared the most by the red eyes and the buzz saw hand because of how close he got to sawing Eddie in Half.
3:54-4:06
I always knew that Judge Doom deserved it and was happy to see him defeated. However, I've seen some grisly movie death scenes growing up (including ones from horror films) but for the longest time *this one* always frightened and bothered me to the point of being unwatchable for years and giving me nightmares.
Now I know why, it's the rapid oscillation and subsequent merging, between expressions. Doom's convincingly human expression of agony then cartoonish expression of fear and pain, then finally a cursed blend of the two, at the same time...Then of course the screaming and whimpering and convulsions at the end don't help; forcing me to register the abomination as having a life, and feelings....
This is why learning who the actor was destroyed the fear : then re watching in my teens I was like "Ah yes, Christopher Lloyd is being extra ; this is normal."
I specifically came back to this one clip in order to see what I feared so much about it as a kid. Watching it now it seems so silly but back then I just couldn't. I really loved this movie as a kid but the ending always scared me. I used to repeat movies a lot as a kid but this vhs movie was one I watched only twice.
@@sakumaFR I was the same way growing up with movies. I would re watch WFRR about 75% of the way through and then after the Toontown sequence I'd turn it off, because I...I just couldn't deal. Even seeing Judge Doom in his human guise on screen during the "Freeway" monologue filled me with anxiety and dread because I knew what was coming.
I didn't remember this scene, the one that completely tortured me as a kid was the friggin shoe getting dipped mouth first and just pleading for its life with its eyes
@@iliakatster That scene actually bothered me more the older I got. Because when I was real little I would always turn my head/shut my eyes right before it made contact with the dip, so I didn't notice all of the details of the shoe's suffering until I was 10+ or so.
YES!!! This scene scared the shit out of me as a kid!! Getting slowly rolled over, agonisingly burned in acid, the screams... damn.
The first time it dawned on me as a child, I was shocked to find out that Judge Doom is the same actor as Emmet "Doc" Brown.
several things scared me as i grew older and rewatched this movie:
The way Doom says 'when I killed your brother, I talked just like THIS' means Doom was probably listening to Eddie when he was talking about his brother's death in the theatre scene.
Secondly, the more you watch this movie knowing the plot twist, the more details you notice indicating that Doom's actually a toon. Like the way he puts on a glove before putting that poor toon shoe in the Dip around the movie's beginning, at first you'd think he just doesn't wanna get dirty, but then you know it's because he doesn't wanna get hurt either- same for that scene in the bar where Eddie spills Dip on the ground and Doom quickly backs away.
Doom wasn't anywhere near that theatre to hear that conversation. Otherwise he would have made certain that Roger got detained then subsequently dipped.
The Valiants had a strong reputation in the toon community so when the then unknown toon grand larcenist (who later called himself "Judge Doom") crushed one of the Valiants with a piano, he already *knew* that they were brothers.
Doom's comment at the end of his introduction scene "I would think YOU of all people would appreciate that" is alluding to the fact that Doom *knows* that a toon murdered Eddie's brother in the same manner as Marvin Acme.
Eddie doesn't suspect anything at this point because with the lack of respect the LAPD is giving him, he assumes that someone told Doom about his brother's murder.
However the deleted scene ("Pighead Sequence") shows that Doom knew about Eddie's Toontown PTSD (a big reason to delete the scene. It gave away too much)
Don't forget that the fact that we never even see what Doom looked like under that disguise. Not even the other toons knew what he looked like. Let that sink in
I'll tell you what was scary - Raiders of the Lost Ark with those mummified corpses and Gestapo's face peeling off
As a kid, Judge Doom's true form was nightmare fuel!
I saw Judge Doom's true form recently and I can definitely say yes, that is definitely nightmare fuel.
as an adult it still is! the squeaky voice somehow made it even scarier
Apparently he was this toon named Baron Von Rotten.
Nightmare fuel was in Raiders of the Lost Ark especially Gestapo's face
I was ten when this first came out. I was already really liking the movie, but as a kid, this was some twist, and cemented my love for the film. One of the funniest, weirdest, coolest fight scenes, and remembered being on the edge of my seat with excitement and anticipation.
Showed the movie to my daughter back when she was about 6 or 7 a few years ago. Her mouth dropped open when she saw Doom get up as toon, and she mouthed the words: "What the?"
Great to know it still captivates the mind of a child.
How did she react when she saw Doom's red eyes?
@@melissacooper8724 I was too intent on watching her mouth drop open and feeling that childish glee in me being able to see it again through her expression upon him getting up as a toon, that I don't remember her reaction to Doom's high pitched squeal and confession.
But every time I try and decide which part hits the high note for me (no to pun to Doom's squeal), I think it's the whole package of the whole scene - as a kid, you haven't even gotten over the first really big plot twist (Doom's a toon) before another one is thrown at you (Doom is the toon that killed Eddie's brother). It's so intense, exciting, thrilling, sad (for Eddie) but thrilling (now Eddie can get revenge), it's so hard to put into words other than it was pure magic.
@@amerk6601 Indeed. The entire climax of the film was the OG cinema manifestation of "everything everywhere all at once."
Just an incredible movie from start to finish. Came out when I was 18. Thank god for the 80s!!
Always wondered why he did that at 2:50 did they think the audience and Eddie didn't know what a saw was and its effects were, otherwise still a traumatic scene.
Na he probably just wanted to show of The Sharpness of The Saw to increase Eddie's Fear.
I love it when he uses the springs, classic villain
All his powers were awesome
OK... so this STILL gives me goosebumps after watching after all these years.
Ever heard the phrase horror loses its power to frighten when repeated too often? It’s a quote from the neverending story by Michael Ende.
This animation was absolutely fantastic back then! I know it looks cheesy now but, damn, was it great for its time!
I think it holds up so well!
@Greg Elchert one of my favorite films! What parts u enjoy?
Way better than Space Jam 2 that’s for sure!
@@johnbuck8399 Pretty much all of it😂
@@elzawalker303 yea me too but some parts are better than others
Criminal that we never got a sequel or a prequel to this amazing movie.
I hadn't noticed until now, but the way Doom dies and his screams seem to be a nod to the death of the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz, who melts when water is poured on her.
This is one of 3 Spielberg films to reference that. IMO this is the best one.
OH WHAT A WORLD! WHAT A WORLD! HOW COULD A WRECKED INVESTIGATOR LIKE YOU DESTROY MY AWESOME EVILNESS!
Who else found the moment at 1:15 when Doom peels himself off the floor terrifyingly creepy?
when i was a kid , i couldn't even watch this moment , this was pure horror to me lmao
I actually kinda like it ha
The sticky peeling and rubbery wobbly sounds of the flattened body are just...The *anti-ASMR* of the highest degree 😰😰😰
You would think Tim Burton would come up with something like that for a reveal
It also cracks me up how Judge Doom puts his hands on the roller as if trying to stop it from crushing him. A vehicle that size easily weighs at least 20 to 30 tons and requires, at minimum, a 100 to 150 horsepower engine. There's no way even ten Judge Dooms could have stopped a vehicle of that size and power by putting their hands on that front wheel.
At that point you’d try anything
A human couldnt, but a toon could
@@kuatojones6950 he should have used some of his powers like the anvil
On that note - did anyone notice that whenever Judge Doom is kicking or pushing at the front roller, it vibrates and shakes just from the impact of his hand and foot? Also, when it's rolling over him, you can even see it lift up a few inches before settling after it passes. That's how you can tell that the steamroller used in the movie isn't even a real vehicle (according to the DVD commentary, it was basically just a large aluminum prop built for the production).
Toons are not exactly masters at critical thinking and self-awareness lol.
That and he could be compelled to have those mannerisms because toons are slaves to doing what's funny, even when not in their best interest.
Doom wrapped up this comedic insanity with a Wicked Witch reference. Perfect
I can’t even pinpoint what’s the scariest thing about this scene, is it the part where Doom gets flattened by a steamroller? Is it the part where Doom reveals himself to have actually been a toon? Or is it the part where Doom slowly dissolves in a puddle of his own concoction while frantically screaming “I’M MELTING!!!”.
Out of all the toon villains, Judge Doom is quite more threatening than Sweet Pete
Head Canon :
Sweet Pete was (indirectly) a victim of Judge Doom's evil, because humans took the events of this film as a lesson that creating toons with free will *and immortality* is a terrible idea, therefore the next generation of toons were given the ability to age.
I have to admit this was a very epic ending to the movie. Back in the day this was very awesome. Still is.
I'm not the only one who was genuinely afraid when this scene came on right?.... RIGHT?????
@Alfred ray_04 I remember I used to hide in a box when the reveal came on
@Alfred ray_04 I see
Saw this movie in theaters when I was three. So needless to say, seeing this on a big screen was overwhelmingly traumatizing.
I'm *still* scared when this scene comes on. It is legitimately terrifying.
I was terrified when I first saw this movie. I even had a nightmare where Judge Doom was chasing me like he did with Eddie...ugh just remembering it upsets me...
"That lame-brained Freeway idea could only be cooked up by a toon."
This line is particularly notable considering that's exactly what happened. Street Cars were effectively dismantled by the automobile lobby so they could expand heavily into cities via many throughways connected to larger freeways.
This is one of my childhood fear scenes
As an adult I still got chills. I just felt the anxiety bubble up watching this 🤣
I love hearing Judge Doom's high pitch squeaky voice. It's both funny and scary at the same time.
Was a great villain
It’s more scary than funny
This movie is definitely not funny not funny at all and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and who agree with me about what I say
@@ShawnBettasso-rn9kk
I'm with you
It's as valiant described "burning red eyes and squeaky voice."
Once in my classroom everyone was talking about this movie and how it is amazing and I said that this movie traumatized me which was this scene in particular and they were saying how it isn't scary at all but looking back at this scene I don't know what they were talking about. It also didn't help watching this movie when I was 8 and it gave me nightmares for a while.
Happy 85th birthday Judge Doom Christopher Lloyd ❤❤🧁
He'll always be the Reverend Jim Ignatowski from Taxi to me.
It’s always one of your own that tries to hurt you the most, history tells this take soo many times
The whole music in the background at 2:35 seriously fits perfect with christopher lloyd!! Having the same musicians in the background in roger rabbit and back 2 the future, chris really pulls it off perfect as Doc and Judge Doom
The music is by Alan Silvestri did Back To The Future, II and III and the music background does sound like in the film but they did a good job in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and it was a best music in the film
@@jonathonmartinez1987 yup, crazy and intense!!
Judge Doom: Remember Harry Kozumi? The evil waifu you diping in cold Melting!??
EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Fighting a cartoon is terrifying
That’s the moral of the story
This scene is pure satisfaction after what he did with that poor tiny shoe. Im still in shock after 30years. Rip Shoe.
With the fact that we don't know what Doom even looks like, it basically makes Doom similar to John Carpenter's The Thing only ten times scarier. Here, instead of a mindless alien monster motivated by survival instincts, here the shapeshifter is a deranged serial killer who's only goal is to kill for the fun of it
The absolute fear on Eddie's face, it makes Doom even more terrifying.
Judge Doom is shattered nose dripping
Yeah, the normally calm Eddie now becomes visibly afraid when he realizes what he's truly up against.
Yep, it's saying something when the normally calm hero becomes scared once he realizes what he's truly up against
Even with ones like Ursula, Jafar, The Evil Queen, or Maleficent, I never found them as scary as Doom which is certainly saying something
I don't know why but Doom's cries of pain when he is flattened by the steamroller makes me laugh a lot. Especially at 0:58
I once watched this scene at 0.5 speed and while Judge Doom was being flattened, my friend said, “What in the world is that? Some kind of fire truck?”
Oh my god, HARRY SMOKE HE'S A WAIFU
Steamroller on doom is definitely not funny it's a serious thing and also this movie is definitely not funny but a good movie though
3:19 This is for Marvin Acme, R.K. Maroon, and the shoe! 3:24 This is for Eddie's brother! 3:44 And THIS, this is for YOU! Do svidaniya!
As I've said, funny considering Doom and Rasputin are both played by Christopher Lloyd.
Anastasia. great reference
100%
Don't forget Roger and Jessica but they survived
4:11 (as Fergie from Judge Dredd) adieu, a$$hole.
The fact that Judge Doom was a toon and would kill his own kind for some lousy freeway ain't only a toon but a monster with big red eyes
If fact Judge Doom was a Waifu hero, Fact Harry Kozumi was a waifu hero at
Nightmare Fuel.
The look on Bob's face as Eddie is on of Horror and relief as he probably thinking that now his brother can rest with his murderer being killed.
Just like Robin probably felt his father could sleep in peace after Robin dealt with the sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood prince of thieves.
Probably the darkest ending to a villian in kids movie!
The darkest one is Hunchback of Notre Dame, Ferngully
Mickey: "Gosh I wonder who he REALLY was?"
That is actually what makes Judge Doom terrifying. The fact that he was a toon (instead of a human) and we never see what he looks like. Considering how toons can vary in shape and size, this means that Judge Doom could be anything. This turns him from a cliche ruthless judge into this terrifying formless creature with no rhyme or reason to his goals, no backstory that we know of, and no true form.
The scene when you see Doom's toon eyes for the first time used to scare the crap out of me as a kid
Those eyes scare me now as an adult!
And those alongside his ever changing limbs are pretty much the only things we see of his toon form. Everything else is a mystery
What's truly creepy is that those and his limbs are the only things revealed of his toon form. Everything else is pretty much a mystery
This movie is just fucking incredible 🫡
One of my favorites!
Me too and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right
Giving Doom a taste of his own medicine ☠️
Destroyed by his own dip.
@@BrandonKohout And to an extent, he ends up getting killed by a toon trope ("Bond villain Stupidity")
When this movie was in development, they were going to reveal that Doom also killed Bambi's mother
This scene freaked me out so much as a kid. I love it now. What a great movie.
1988!! I can’t believe it’s been that long since I used to watch this, and Ninja Turtles 1, on vhs over and over.
It sounds like Eddie's heart must be pumping with fear from 1:58-2:09 like Eddie's thinking, "oh my gosh, it's him, I recognize those boiling red eyes and that high squeaky voice" since he told Roger Rabbit that whichever toon killed his brother had boiling red eyes and a high squeaky voice.

Christopher Lloyd is truly one of the best actors of our time! Period!
That humming giggle he does as he peels himself off the floor is still as unsettling now as an adult as it was when I was a kid. Absolutely gives me the creeps, especially when he turns after peeling himself off.
Christopher Lloyd always played a good villain.
So does Christopher Lee
this guy terrified me as a kid
"It is a children's movie" they said. ""The kids will remember it for the funny characters" they said.......
1:55 Hello unresolved childhood fear. An unkillable toon serial killer. Man this movie was amazing.
“surprised?” “not really” 😂😂
This is for Marvin Acme, R.K. Maroon, all the toons in Toontown and Teddy Valiant.
3:24 Good-Bye, Mr Judge
He had one hasty retirement
Oh yes, very Hasty
When a pro defeats the other pro, but after that he uses hacks.
you just told exactly how i feel in gta 5 online
what always gets me is in spite of how outwardly absurd the entire situation is, is that when eddie sees doom's real eyes his expression is one of genuine fucking horror
that's the face of mortal terror
I mean, I'd also be terrified if I came face to face with what is essentially a superhuman serial killer
I tried to view a reddit post about this scene. It was marked as mature content and wouldn't let me view it unless I downloaded the app 😂 what a demented scene
I must say I watched this when I was a kid and I am watching it again a few years later and it still scars the **** out of me. Judge dooms voice and the way he looks .😱.
This is when I learned fear.
Me too lol
3:52: He's bleeding paint. AND...that paint exposes him as the true murderer. Note the rope from the crime scene earlier in the movie.
