Came here after watching Weird Al Yankovic talking about these guys in "Uhf". This is utterly bizzare. The guy who made it is either a raving lunatic or a genius.
I know Richard claims it was always intended to be in color, but the B&W look REALLY worked in making it look like a perverted Fleischer cartoon come to life.
I recently was watching a Fleischer doc and there was a distinct change in style from when they were a poor studio in New York and their toons reflected the gritty life, to when they got a posh studio in Miami and their work became colorized and polished.
@@guidadiehl9176 Are you kidding me? It was a reference to the old racist cartoons, not being racist in itself. I hope that sequel with that drunken clown never comes out.
The guy turned out to be very camera shy and froze up, so another set of lips were superimposed over his face to make the bit work. Fun fact: director Richard Elfman uses this scene as a warning any time a person gives him any grief about their lines!
First time I watched the colorized version I was on acid. No one had told me that such a version existed, so I just figured I was super fucked up. Good times.
Seeing this is color...well, it just ain't right. I was always under the impression it was suppose to be in B & W given the influence/homage of The Three Stooges, Max Fleischer, silent films, Swing-era, etc. So I'm not buying Elfman's new "oh, it was always supposed to be in color" line.
Thankfully I've never seen all of the "I need quick cash and no one cares about Shrunken Heads so I'll rerelease FZ in color and claim that was always my intention despite the fact it contradicts the entire concept of the movie (1930s era stuff) so it won't look like the quick cash grab it is" version. If people like the color version, have at it. But to me, colorizing negates the whole concept of the film. It's like doing a homage to technicolor films in B & W. Kinda negates the point. So I stand by my original statement.

The Kipper Kids were the toast of NYC’s performance art scene of the late 80s. One of these boxers married Bette Midler, and the other one married performance artist Karen Finley.
The boxer on the right is Mr. Bette Midler. I saw him at a collectors show in Honolulu once and recognized him, leading me to then watch for Bette who sure enough was nearby.
Really weird movie. Interesting genre. Absurd beyond description. But watching it, can't help but admire the creativity. Elfman is an amazing talent, love Oingo Boingo. The Princess boobs were a treat....I can only imagine how much fun they had making the film. RHPS was similar, first time I was 'wtf did I just watch'. Then saw it another 50 or so times.
There nothing wrong about the song, its a classic rumba or salsa, "bim bam boom, la mulatona". It sounds weird because it doesnt really translate well to English.
He was shy and froze up when he was reciting his lines. Elfman superimposed the mouth and it was better. Read about it in the description of the video.
Brilliant piece of film and music. Has there ever been a better use of Syncro-Vox? The whole movie is a treat, but I agree with those who say it is better in B&W. Color adds nothing!
Like anyone who wants to deconstruct. They make things ugly and shocking (and confusing… because confusion is the smokescreen from one who doesn’t want you to immediately see how shallow they are). Beauty and true humor are hard targets to hit. But ugly and shocking are more manageable. With the added confusion you can make it seem like you’re actually doing something more profound. Then, for some, there’s the added benefit of cultural subversion. And who are we kidding? That’s exactly what they want.
You mean like you did with this statement? Someone clearly considers themself of high intellect... I hate to break it to you, you didn't make a point here and failed to make yourself sound as profound as you would like to be/think you are.
Hunh. Weird. I would have thought with the amount of German Expressionist influence they'd have been trying for B&W. Ah, well. I still prefer it in B&W.
i watched this movie the other day and not a single thought passed through my head
Same
Finally, someone translated my dreams… 5years before I was born. This movie is a national treasure.
The artificial mouth works WAY better than his actual mouth ever could have.
That is what she said...
UFC has gotten a lot more exciting lately since they introduced Rumba.
Came here after watching Weird Al Yankovic talking about these guys in "Uhf". This is utterly bizzare. The guy who made it is either a raving lunatic or a genius.
Raving lunatic and genuis. Its both
My favorite part of this movie is the Clutch Cargo mouth effect.
It's 11:30 PM...I have gone from a video on 1960's toy commercials to this. I love you RUclips.
I know Richard claims it was always intended to be in color, but the B&W look REALLY worked in making it look like a perverted Fleischer cartoon come to life.
Couldn't agree more
I recently was watching a Fleischer doc and there was a distinct change in style from when they were a poor studio in New York and their toons reflected the gritty life, to when they got a posh studio in Miami and their work became colorized and polished.
Richard is also digitally replacing all the blackface with clowns. Guy has lost it.
@@guidadiehl9176 Are you kidding me? It was a reference to the old racist cartoons, not being racist in itself. I hope that sequel with that drunken clown never comes out.
"Hot Damn! The Sixth Dimension!" is my favorite line in this movie
Brenton Aslakson Followed closely by “Do I detect a rrrrrrrrrrrhumba?”
The Sixth Dimension was also referenced by Pantera in 'By Demons Be Driven'.
@@judsongaiden9878 That is a very odd connection. But then again here I am watching this video.
Wtf how did I get here from my search "how to fix a water damaged iphone
Dakota Duran Hope this answered your question
LOL !
At least I was directed here from an FB Group for Incredibly Strange films. I came, not expecting this, alright, but ready for anything.
Put it in a bowl of rice.
This is the stuff of nightmares, i love it.
yeah even the underworld scene lol
This is one of the best scenes of a movie I never watched. Adult Swim introduced me to this masterpiece.
How did adult swim lead you here?
@@RayLombardo Off the Air.
I've never seen a song portray the ridiculousness of life so well.
……. Sure. No need to reach so far to look so profound.
The guy turned out to be very camera shy and froze up, so another set of lips were superimposed over his face to make the bit work. Fun fact: director Richard Elfman uses this scene as a warning any time a person gives him any grief about their lines!
Who was this shy guy? His eyes are incredible!
thank wikipedia for us
Ended up better as a result.
Anyone else from RLM's UHF review?
YO
I loved this movie a lot, but still: what the fffffffuuuuuuck?...
The use of Edwin Gillette's "Syncho-Vox" technique heightens the surrealism of this piece
First time I watched the colorized version I was on acid. No one had told me that such a version existed, so I just figured I was super fucked up. Good times.
Lmfao
Red letter media brought me here.
My unending struggle with sanity made me stay here.
Just saw the RLM uhf
@@Vullgrim of the air.
I wonder what RLM would have to say about this movie
Ye-, me too
Seeing this is color...well, it just ain't right. I was always under the impression it was suppose to be in B & W given the influence/homage of The Three Stooges, Max Fleischer, silent films, Swing-era, etc. So I'm not buying Elfman's new "oh, it was always supposed to be in color" line.
Brandon Hendrix the film was supposed to be hand colored originally, but it was too expensive.
The only scene it works for is the devil scene
I get all that but this film without her explosively yellow Canary dress just wouldn't feel right anymore.
Thankfully I've never seen all of the "I need quick cash and no one cares about Shrunken Heads so I'll rerelease FZ in color and claim that was always my intention despite the fact it contradicts the entire concept of the movie (1930s era stuff) so it won't look like the quick cash grab it is" version.

Kipper Kid's? Turned me on to self punching as shadow boxing.
God this is only 2 minutes long? It seems like a fucking eternity.
I sang this to my nephew today with some Maracas. He was hyped as hell ! Bim bam boom 🎶🎶🎶
Bim Bam Boom, Bim Bam Boom
Es el nuevo compás
Que los negros van bailando en la comparsa.
Bim Bam Boom, Bim Bam Boom
La mulatona Mercedes arrollando va detrás de la comparsa.
Ya no quieren cumbanchear las negritas del solar
Si no tocan al compás de este ritmo así
¡Suénalo, báilalo, gózalo
!
Bim Bam Boom, Bim Bam Boom
¡Qué sabrosito está
Este paso arrollador de la comparsa!
=============
Bim bam boom, bim bam boom
It's the new beat
That the homeboys in our crew are dancing to
Bim bam boom, bim bam boom
The mixed-race BBW Mercedes is massively throwing down behind the crew
The homegirls on the patio don't want to dance the Cumbancha anymore
So if they can't handle the beat of this rhythm
Hold it! Dance it! Enjoy it!
Bim bam boom, bim bam boom
How tasty it is
This irresistible step of our crew!

You're welcome!
What counts as "BBW" by the standards of the sixth dimension?
My dad worked on the advertising for this ages ago.
God bless The Kipper Kids!

Oh wow! I didn't know that was just a fix, that it wasn't originally planned that way!
Beautiful color
NEVER get tired of this GREAT Movie!!!
Love this movie.
Really weird movie. Interesting genre. Absurd beyond description. But watching it, can't help but admire the creativity. Elfman is an amazing talent, love Oingo Boingo. The Princess boobs were a treat....I can only imagine how much fun they had making the film. RHPS was similar, first time I was 'wtf did I just watch'. Then saw it another 50 or so times.
the entire movie is like loose bowels...I LOVE it!! lol
what the fuck did i just watch
people always criticize TikTokers for being weird and random...man if they only saw what was going on in the 90's on late night TV
Tik Tokers are cancer, Forbidden Zone has a method to its madness.
These are Squeeze-It Henderson's lips by the way ;)
That I did not know.
Did anybody else find Frenchie really cute?
Oh yes. But I REALLY liked the princess. Damn she was the button.
I sat through the whole movie hoping she would end up in the same clothes as the princess.
Could this all be the future?
The sixth direction baby.
I can speak spanish and the song it's very strange
Please. Translate. That would be of interest to all who like this.
its cuban bro.
@@basedrojas8231 Its been a year. Have you learned your lesson yet?
There nothing wrong about the song, its a classic rumba or salsa, "bim bam boom, la mulatona". It sounds weird because it doesnt really translate well to English.
I love this, kinda like the black and white better.
WTF acid trip did i just stumble into?!?!
This is nothing. Watch Liquid Sky.
ZAIR EEEEEEEEEES NO DIFFERANCE !
Met the boxing gents at an Indus Arthur "B": party and they were definitely strange, from downunder I believe...
I can't find the og black and white version anywhere.
TOTAL PUNK FOR YOUR BRAIN !
excellent
I love this movie, another favorite musical of mine, forever \m/
Off the Air brought me here.
Neave TV did it for me.
Really? Which one? I wanna watch it lol
Weird Al brought me here, 31 years ago
Boxer on the right is Bette Midler's husband since 1984
Kinda explains it all... What a life 🧬💥🧬
Still the best movie to watch on shrooms
43,000+ vies, 241 likes. That's about right.
There's a story behind why they superimposed a mouth on that particular Mouseketeer.
He was shy and froze up when he was reciting his lines. Elfman superimposed the mouth and it was better. Read about it in the description of the video.
What the fuck did I kust watch?
Frenchie is so attractive
Which circle of hell is this?
the sixth
That’s too far away. Can’t they just move it to another floor?
What, I can't emphasize more, the fuck did I watched.
My dad actually helped with the advertising for this movie.
Was that Rich Evans?
the boxing guy is married to bette midler
Brilliant piece of film and music. Has there ever been a better use of Syncro-Vox? The whole movie is a treat, but I agree with those who say it is better in B&W. Color adds nothing!
Fun fact: I watched this clip in the midst of an acid high,
Was very weird to say the least
I love it 👍👍👍👍
They reused the gloves for the pimp character.
Fucking brilliant
Why ... why was it colorized?
he couldn't afford colour back then.
Kipper Kids 👍😂
One of the Kippers is Bette Midler's future husband, believe it or not.
Found the earths pleasure and temptations to be little more than hollow ,or lacking in lasting meaning.
That weird side RUclips again
Colin Flaherty Don’t make the black kids angry
first saw this on adult swim.......
Im just searching for the Korean one. Then found this shit...
Joe Rogan before News Radio
better in B/W
Thumbs up if "Off The Air" brought you here.
Yup yup
+John Brewer No, Neave TV did.
What?

I agree. A simple "This is complete bollocks." would've sufficed.
dude NOONE cares what you have to say. you arent important. you will never have anything profound to say so please stop speaking at all.
I always thought she was wearing something gray :(
Oingo boing
Obscene. 1:25
b&w is better
Bloody nora.
Froze-up? Or just a really bad lip synch to obscure music? I'm guessing the 2nd.
No the kid just froze, so they ended up putting someone else's lips on him. a blessing in disguise i think
I just discovered the kipper kids. They are like Monty Python with only two members and not funny.
wut
Wtf was that
Прикольно
este video no tiene pies ni galletas
The protocols of the Elders of Zion is the Truth
この口だけ動かす手法の馬が喋るドラマなんでしたっけ？
男は舞台戦を繰り広げていたので、監督は欲求不満から口を重ねた。 （私は自然な英語を話すので、私のメッセージはグーグル翻訳者からです）
The frog is Pepe? Rad
Hunh. Weird. I would have thought with the amount of German Expressionist influence they'd have been trying for B&W. Ah, well. I still prefer it in B&W.
What the fujck did I just watch
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
seriously u hid my comment? wtf
I've been watching this since I was 5 in black and white... it feels so wrong in color.
How are these Jews funny????
It’s probably meant to deconstruct. That seems to be a thrill amongst some folk. To take something and make it ugly and shocking.
