Mike - "What movie is this for again?" Mark - "This is for Coven, man..." doesn't even act frustrated with his absolutely disengaged best friend. Like Mike just got out of 'nam and just found out Mark owned a camera.
"Oh man, it's unbelievable! 29 years old - people have established families, they're homeowners, and I'm fucking around in the drive through at McDonald's trying to find a 2-for-2 deal with some goddamn scarecrows on top of the roof of my car." LOL
For the past 20 years whenever something ridiculous happens in my life and I hit rock bottom, I always hear that comforting voice of Mark in my head at 4:05 "... But that's what happens, man". Indeed... that's what happens.
I remember watching this up in my room. I was about 13-14 years old. This movie stuck with me all these years. I want to buy it,or dl it on Kickass torrents.
@@celzolsen8988 It was on dish network the HBO or something. It was dark in my room. I had a waterbed and a green comforter. A Mexican blanket as my window curtain. I had a bigger than average penis as well. Life was great.
29 years old and I'm fucking around in the drive thru of McDonald's looking for a two-for-two deal with the goddamn scarecrows on the top of the roof of my car!
When I don't know or want to answer literally any question, I say "Uh...What movie is this for?" Because Mike is all things, but mostly solutions to problems.
Here, you have this guy with above average intelligence (though, he aint got a lot of formal education) speaking EXTREMELY passionately about his project while propping up his SEEMINGLY innocuous, speechless, and lifeless sidekick. Later, there's the SCREAM...
"Last night I was so drunk I was calling Morocco, man. Like, trying to get to hotel tangeers. That's pathetic, man. Is that what you want to do with your life? That's senseless but that's what happens" The same thing can be said for many other things and it might be one of the best quotes, its so true.
Perhaps the best example of cinema verite ever made this this country. No narration, little on-screen text. A little story within a large story. It's a masterpiece.
There are so many great moments in this clip. I literally cry laughing at the line about being in a McDonald’s drive thru with scarecrows on your car 😂😂
I say for the sequel to this movie they need to give Mark the money to make a big budget film and document him making it could you imagine Mike with like a 3 million dollar budget making a movie.
Marks one of the coolest guys in his way. He doesn't have the critical side of his brain that most of us do. I laughed at him when I first saw this, but the guys got gumpsion!
"29 years old, people have established families, their home owners, and im fucking around in the drive thru of a Mcdonald's looking for a 2 for 2 deal with goddamn scar crows on the top of my car." I was crying I was laughing so hard at this.
"Is that what you want? Sucking down peppermint Schnapps and calling Morocco at 2 in the morning?" ... my speech to my son every time he doesn't do his homework.
I've noticed scratch-offs and McDonald's have a prominent role in this film. Mark's description of paradise is lying on a beach in Cancun sipping a large McDonald's fountain soda.
In Mike Shanks previous life time, townspeople called him the flying yogi because of his levitation abilities. He could float up off the floor and astral travel into higher dimensions.
"We've got every f-stop known to man in this film." Hilarious line. This reminds me of a former acquaintance who spent his time talking people out of their money for his bvllsh!t movie projects. He would use nonsense jargon like that to impress the ignorant. He even traded free pizza and auto-repair for "points" in his movies. Everybody that came into contact with this guy lost something.
Except Mark was the real deal and couldnt catch a break . Ive known spoiled rich kids who made movies with their daddys money and ive met some who just wanted to tell a story ans coulnt pay for anything
I don't remember this dialogue from the movie...was this a deleted scene? If it was does anybody know which DVD contains this and other deleted scenes? Thanks!
@101Volts And if I ever have kids (And I hope I get the opportunity) I'm going to say that same quote to them... A bit revised depending on the situation they're in like staying up too late.
Every Mark needs a Mike.
yeah
@@miata350 if you haven’t found your Mark, I’ll gladly be yours
RIP buddy :(
Mark is so hysterically funny in his earnest intense monologues... you couldn't script it better!
That’s what makes him so likable. He’s pure.
and Mike Shenk was the perfect zen straight man. mildly annoyed but still ride or die for his best friend.
"Is that what you want to do with your life? Suck down Peppermint Schnapps and try to call Morocco at two in the morning? That's senseless!"
But that's what happens, man.
Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes a little bit. Calvin dreams of owning a private continent, while all Hobbes wants is a sandwich.
This film saved my life.
Mine too, genuinely.
"sometimes you just gotta wonder, what the hell is goin on" ...that shit is existential
Mike - "What movie is this for again?"

mike schank is the greatest person mankind has produced as a species so far.
Yeah.
😄
Can't find a clip of that Cut Off My Hand song.
So people keep stating ...though ive seen 0 proof of this
@@memyself6360 LOL, ok dude, he's not the greatest person ever... you win... great research man.
A Budha who walked among us.
What a team. They both were there for each other
You know a movie is incredible when the deleted scenes are masterpieces in themselves.
"Oh man, it's unbelievable! 29 years old - people have established families, they're homeowners, and I'm fucking around in the drive through at McDonald's trying to find a 2-for-2 deal with some goddamn scarecrows on top of the roof of my car."
LOL
Like an insel
@@memyself6360 Mark had four kids, an ex wife and a girlfriend at the time this was filmed. hardly an Insel.
This is seriously the greatest film ever made!
an it's a film about making a film
'Tis true.
This is easily one of the funniest films ever made.
"There's a good jacket in there too, a Levi jacket..."
"We've got every f-stop known to man in this film." This is one of the weirdest flexes I've ever heard but I love it.
mike seems like he would make a great friend.
He does. He really does...
My whole purpose in Life is to suck down peppermint schnapps and call Morocco at 2 in the morning.
"Coven is a 35 minute direct market thriller film, shot in 16 millimeter black and white reversal".
But they're not that helpful, the group...
damn it, I love this film
A total gem.... I just had a fond memory of this movie, haven’t watched it in years, so I went looking!
This movie had a profound influence on my life.
What a great scene. Love that movie.
If you listen closely Mark says, "I need to come out here, I can film on Sunday." Talk about determination
Yah man, especially with the green bay packers playing like they were back then, ya know, i definitely wouldn't wanna miss one of those games.

I was the same age when I saw it too bud and yeah it has stuck to me as well.
The hand of God is swift and sure..
I love the shit out of all of these very real people. RIP Mike
29 years old and I'm fucking around in the drive thru of McDonald's looking for a two-for-two deal with the goddamn scarecrows on the top of the roof of my car!
I loved American movie, and it always gives me inspiration and encouragement to make mine. I hope Mark makes his epic film one day.

You mean he don't got, not ain't got, a lot of education. What kind of dummy are you?

Tangiers
Genius.
*random quote from the movie*
Thumbs up.
These dudes are the Cheech and chong of the movie industry
Very cathartic Mark
Perhaps the best example of cinema verite ever made this this country. No narration, little on-screen text. A little story within a large story. It's a masterpiece.
I will never stop being obsessed with this movie. These men make me proud to be from Wisconsin. 😂 Classic accents.
There are so many great moments in this clip. I literally cry laughing at the line about being in a McDonald’s drive thru with scarecrows on your car 😂😂
I don't know if Mark would make a better film producer or a game operator at a carnival.
I wish they could re-release this film with all the deleted scenes put back in. I'd buy that on VHS.
Truly some of the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life.
"every f-stop known to man"
I say for the sequel to this movie they need to give Mark the money to make a big budget film and document him making it could you imagine Mike with like a 3 million dollar budget making a movie.
@pxlmixer "that's senseless! .....but thats what happens man. we're in America today and we're ready to roll"
So much wisdom in such a strange place.
"That what you wanna do with your life, suck down peppermint schnapps and try to call Morocco at 2AM??" hahaha
I fucking love these guys.
Marks one of the coolest guys in his way. He doesn't have the critical side of his brain that most of us do. I laughed at him when I first saw this, but the guys got gumpsion!
he's so charismatic
The Buddha Mike Shank - a god amongst men.
We're in America today and we're ready to roll...
THE greatest documentary scene ever!
I love this movie......
the hand a gad is swiftn sure man
this movie kicks 10 billion kinds of ass
Mike and Mark were like characters in Kevin Smith movie
This is the best and Marks mom is such a soldier
"29 years old, people have established families, their home owners, and im fucking around in the drive thru of a Mcdonald's looking for a 2 for 2 deal with goddamn scar crows on the top of my car." I was crying I was laughing so hard at this.
It’s profound.
Real gold sprinkled out there in on the interwebs.
This documentary should be required viewing for every American.
"...'course ya do!"
"Is that what you want? Sucking down peppermint Schnapps and calling Morocco at 2 in the morning?" ... my speech to my son every time he doesn't do his homework.
To think Mike is one of the most bad ass emcees youve never heard of.
you gotta love these guys
Best duo in film…
There is not a funnier movie that has been made. "I just wanna get this filming done and buy some scratch off tickets and have fun."
“But that’s what happens, man”
3:23 "....and uhh what is Coven?"
"Coven's a 35 minute direct market thriller film shot on 16mm black and white reversal"
You can’t make this stuff up. Too good.
I've noticed scratch-offs and McDonald's have a prominent role in this film. Mark's description of paradise is lying on a beach in Cancun sipping a large McDonald's fountain soda.
Best American movie
"Suck down peppermint schnapps and call Morocco at two in the morning." Yes.
R.I.P. Mike 🔥🙌🏼
Well, it's good to see that Mark is an open book.
A pure goal. Drinks with them umbrellas.
The scarecrow on the roof of my car part had me dying
the hand of god man is swift and sure
If you've never unsuccessfully tried to call a Moroccan hotel at two in the morning can you even call yourself a filmmaker? Been there, buddy.
We gotta take action.
3:50! Hahaha!
X D
I love this movie
R.I.P. Mike 😔
The end of the means....ha ha ha!!
Smart and smarter
Mike is soooooo funny!
man you got cigarette ash there
I know
Yeah.
I know he was drunk and all but Does any one know why he was calling Casablanca?
awesome movie
This made me laff.... Bravo.

Mike for president..
Looks great, can you guys please post this documentary on youtube?
is this an extended scene? I only remember the bit about him describing Coven, not the stuff leading up to that.
awesome
I don't remember this dialogue from the movie...was this a deleted scene? If it was does anybody know which DVD contains this and other deleted scenes?
Thanks!
+Joseph Westrick no, it's in the DVD I have, don't think it's an outtake. friggin' hilarious. "Absolutely."
that dude on the right reminds me of the dude on Seinfeld in the episode where the guy working at the horsetrack gets Elaines number.
@101Volts And if I ever have kids (And I hope I get the opportunity) I'm going to say that same quote to them... A bit revised depending on the situation they're in like staying up too late.
But they're not that helpful the group... you know about the group thing?? 😂😂
I mean there's a good jacket in there! A Levi's jacket!
Anybody know what he's talking about?
Was it Kenny Keen who [inadvertently] burnt down the Sea Biscuit?
Lololol
I like to think he did. He did live above the sea biscuit for a time.
