i love how the ship, despite being programmed to speak and act optimistically, is capable of sarcasm and of treating its users as idiots.
It’s sentient
Full personality
Not just a caricature
Why can't our cars have that autopilot in them? "Guys I'm delighted to tell you that a fatal crash is imminent!"
I'm sure if you ask the nice people at the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, they will happily update your SatNav with a GPP (Genuine People Personalities).
Ask Tesla
I'm your 💯th like. Pay me.
Don't firget this awesome atmospheric noise after the computer is done speaking!

Zaphod Beeblebrox- the most Owen Wilson Character to NOT be played by Owen Wilson
You are telling me that that man is not Owen Wilson?
@@Fighterpilot555 Nope that's Sam Rockwell
Don't bullshit me man
Oh god I cannot unhear it now
Wooooowwww
"We can talk about 'normality' 'til the cows come home..."
"What is normal?"
"What is *home?"*
*"What are cows?"*
Pretty much sums up their characters, eh?
"Wow!" - Owen Wilson
I makes sense, Zaphod is just an alien without knowledge about the fauna of earth.
@@Toxicity1987 Also makes sense that he's eating a box of dry cereal. "What is milk?"
@@ActivelyVacant woah I never connected that before! Also, cows don't exist anymore and Zaphod did admit he's terrible at remembering species
Cows: those tasty waiters at the restaurant at the end of the universe 😋
“Incredible....it’s even worse than I thought it would be!”
One of my favorite lines from this movie, I’ve used it myself several times.
It will all end in tears, I just know it.
The actor in the holographic message is Simon Jones, who played the part of Arthur Dent in the TV series of HHGTTG.
i screamed when i saw him
Simon Jones is THE Arthur dent... Douglas Adams had him in mind when he wrote the character.
jimbobeire So Arthur has a clone?
He also played Arthur in the radio series that the TV series was based on as well.
Oh my Zarquon! I had no idea!
"Oh no, not again."
-The bowl of petunias
The bowl of petunias was another ill-fated reincarnation of Agrajag, a creature that always gets reincarnated in forms that get killed off by Arthur Dent. He saw Arthur in the spaceship window and realised dear ol' Arthur had done it again. Hence "Oh no, not again."
Watching this in 2020 again. Alan Rickman's voice was just right for the robot, RIP Alan.
He has a name you know, not that anyone cares, he's just the robot, isn't he? There he is, brain the size of a planet and no one bothers to remember his name.

The hand movements the hologram guy does had me laughing my ass off. 😂
The hologram guy is the original Arthur Dent from the radio and tv series
@@GeoffreyToday Yep. That's Simon Jones. The part was written with him in mind, and he's continued to recreate it for radio broadcasts.
This poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more. This is a complete record of its thoughts from the moment it began its life till the moment it ended it.
“Ah … ! What’s happening?” it thought.
“Err, excuse me, who am I?”
“Hello?”
“Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life?” ...
“Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation” …
“And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … own … found … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name - ground!”
“I wonder if it will be friends with me?”
And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence.
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was “Oh no, not again.” Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
D.Adams, genius.
@David Rendall - I came here exactly for this. Thank you!
Obviously read in Bill Bailey's voice.

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again."
That poor whale...
I love the way the ship just stops, and drops like a stone. Perfect realism.....
powerful retroboosters and high gravity maybe
Or just a great homage to Wii-e-coyote. :-)
If you've suspended disbelief to the point where relativity no longer matters, and objects can travel faster than the speed of light, why would a sudden change in momentum bother you?
Dude, it doesn't bother me, I think it's completely hilarious in a Wil-E-Coyote sort of way. I love it.
Actually, I feel that it fits with Douglas Adams’ ideal feeling of comedy. Anti-climatic events like that fit with his sense of comedy like, the Earth popping like a balloon, instead of a massive explosion like the Death Star.
"Sure thing pal. Handing over manual control. Good luck!!"
I can't do this without my third arm!
Imagine Tesla cars doing this hahahaha
"Kindly do so at the tone."
*There is no tone.*
Yep. That was his passive-aggressive "fuck off". When passive-agressive didn't work, they upgraded to "aggressive-aggressive".
For me as a kid this film was quite the acid trip.
im currently reading “Life the Universe and Everything” (the 3rd book in the series) and just came across Agrajags story about his many deaths (by Arthur Dent) and how he got “yanked back into the physical world” as a bowl of petunias and i was dumbstruck i had no idea there was a reason the petunias said “oh no not again”
douglas adams liked to play the long game
@@garethspotfur1 to bad they couldn’t continue making more movies
considering the jumbled hash they made of this film, it'd have to be a complete reboot...
karl wallace no way this movie is great
it had the potential to be great, but it had too many extra plot lines jammed into one film.
i love the navigation voice and personality, also alan rickman too funny.
Alan Rickman was the perfect choice for Marvin the Paranoid Android.
This scene in the film has one very special part, the man playing the 3D holographic message is, of course, Simon Jones, the original radio and TV Arthur Dent.
"incredible"
They all look puzzled. "Did he just say something positive?"
"It's even worse than I thought"
"Ah, there it is"
The hologram man is Simon Jones, who was the original Arthur Dent in the BBC series. I screamed when I saw him
I was first introduced to this universe as a little kid, late at night on PBS, watching the original series on a tiny black and white television. I felt like I had stumbled onto an incredible, secret show. Years later I read the books, thinking the show was based on them. Much to my surprise, I found out the show came first. The books expanded this treasure into one of the greatest trilogy of books I've ever read. I liked the movie, too, and was disappointed they never made any sequels. They should reboot it at some point, do the original trilogy and expose a whole new generation to the divine madness that is Douglas Adam's genius.
They were written first as half hour BBC radio series episodes in the late 70s. Then turned into books. Then redone slightly differently for cassette. Then turned into a BBC tv series which was re-released onto VHS. It was also turned into a theatrical event, notably once played aboard a giant SRN4 hovercraft. Later there were more HHGTTG books and more radio episodes. Then Douglas Addams died in 2001, far too young at 49. This film came out 4 years later.
Thermonuclear missiles, huh?
Damn, they really don't like you.
"How can a planet be closed?" we have the answer now...
"How can a planet be closed?"
"Covid19."

Criminally underrated film
0:24 Oh, come on Mos Def... MARVIN sounded more invested than you!
2:00 You gotta love spaceships that can brake like they're driving on pavement.
1:12 I like how sarcastically dark this part is. 😂
Everything about this awesome and hilarious and I really think this should have been a series.
I understand why this movie did not do that great. Unless you read the 5 book trilogy It would be hard to get. I think this movie captured the spirit of the books
The Krikkit are unironically one of my favorite species in all of fiction.
I think I saw this movie when it came out, but have nearly zero memory of it. My introduction to the series was the 1980s tv series, and then the books, and then snippets of the original BBC radio series. But this movie is essentially a blank to me.
I think it was a wide miss. There's only a few moments that capture the books spirit and that's mostly down to just Stephen Fry reading excerpts from the book. The shambling add ons to the book's plot and that terrible tacked on love plot just made it redundant. The radio/TV series were vastly superior in every respect. Even the low budget tv effects fitted better than the films.
@@repletereplete8002 the very things you mention were all added by Douglas Adams himself.
@@repletereplete8002 jackass
Oh I forgot that he did press the button. So he really killed that Petunia Bowl. No wonder the guy is pissed. :D
poor dude, he just wants to stop dying.
Agrajag!
"What are cows?" gets me every time.
"What are cows?" Best line in movie history🤣🤣
"A bowl of petunias and a very surprised looking whale"...everyone likes that, no one likes thermonuclear devastation
Except the Bowl of Petunias, as explained in Book Three.
@@cardinalhamneggs5253 the surprise about that is the whale was not. Id expected to find out the whale was also a reincarnation...
Great scene, the comedy here is quite unexpected, specifically the upbeat ship's computer voice. and the polite dialogue from holograph from the planet, telling them they are sending two missiles to converge with the craft
Fun fact. This part is actually in 3D! You can see yourself if you have the red and blue type glasses!
3:34 when you all just get done passing it.
Meh. Still not as bad as Comcast Customer Service.
How about ComStar?
"If you don't mind, I'm gonna go ahead and take evasive action" hahaha
2:49 I was like wtf they just disappeared but the ship's intact? 🤣
Only Adams could bring back a character like a bowl of petunias like he did lol
I was reading that book just today.
Life, the Universe and Everything
I'm amused by the brake lights, reminds me of 'Galaxina' when one of the crew wants to turn on the lights and sirens, but keeps getting told they're useless in space... which makes me wonder why they were put on in the first place :P
Ah yes, nuclear missiles that don't explode when close in proximity.
And a cameo from the original Arthur Dent. Nice. ☺️
“If you don’t mind, I’m going to go ahead and take abrasive action!”
For being thermonuclear missiles, they sure do have a short range on their proximity fuses. Really anything within a mile would be plenty.
I love the cherry voice of the ship's computer.
The thermonuclear missiles could had detonated at those ranges and still incinerate the craft - but what point is there talking about hard science in a comedy science fiction film? It's bloody hilarious.
I bet you’re real fun at parties.
You wherent invited to the improbability parties, were you?
AVoiceOfOpinion93 they didnt blow up - the improbability drive just happened to turn them into a very surprised whale and a fed up bowl of petunias
What's the point of even mentioning it? The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is one of the greatest parodies of all time - thus, this universe is supposed to be nothing but stupid.
Then just have one of them do that first and have the other be a few seconds behind the first missile, then:
Computer voice: "Golly! You guys are not going to believe it but our shields are now at 0% and we've taken hull damage. If you don't mind, I'm going to take evasive maneuvers."
It's like, yeah they could have done it and it would still be funny while taking into account how powerful nuclear warheads are in space, but it's extra setup for what is a simple punchline, which is the hilarious, cheery delivery of terrifying news.
And the bowl of petunias thinks. "Not Again"
Basically the Earth right now.
For a ship of that girth, it shuffles fast.
"Because instead of two heads, I've got one." -Zaphod
Guys, I'm delighted to tell you that there's two thermonuclear missiles heading right for us, so if you don't mind I'm gonna go ahead and take evasive action!
what are cows?
Cows, as generally defined by many Teasers and Traders which have visited to Outer Region planet known as Earth-Moon, are a common livestock mammal with one large pink udder on their belly. They are the female version of the commonly named Bull, and they are defined by their colours. These can range from splotches of black on white fur, to brown and even black. They are used on Earth on every continent except Antarctica to farm milk, a common source of vitamins and calcium. They are also killed either once culled or when they are adult and fattened, so they can be used to make the meat product known as beef and minced meat. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has no entry on cows, neither does any known encyclopedia to come out of well-known publishing corporations.
This movie is great.
The tones at the start just crack me up
“What is normal?”
“What is home?”
“What are cows?”
LOL
I had a hard time with this version, i just loved the old Marvin too much!
This is always what it's like when you reach customer service, amirite?
"Incredible. It's even worse than I thought"
0:47 Basically earth right now
i came for zoey but stayed for Alan...
Funny coinicidence... Happy Birthday...
I loved the books and radio series as a kid, so I had high hopes for the movie. It should have worked.
I don't understand why it didn't.
@ Ian Jones
Really? Okay, here it is: you as a kid loved the book and the radio versions for their *content.* The fact that they had better sets and effects was secondary.
Face it, mate. Making movies is *hard work.* Just watch the TV version to see this principle in effect. (That's why so many today rely on CGA.)
Also, the movie had to shoehorn the whole story into two hours.
@@stevejordan7275 the movie only covered some of the first book. They never even got to the point where the Bowl is explained.
More likely the issue was they made the movie assuming American audiences would be too stupid to get most of the jokes from the Book and Radio drama.
@@trebot9292266 Also true.
What a shame that they only ended up making one of these.
So nice to see the real Arthur again
And now we know why It thought "oh no, not again"
im currently reading Life the Universe and Everything (the 3rd book in the series) and just came across Agrajags story about his many deaths (by Arthur Dent) and how he got “yanked back into the physical world” as a bowl of petunias and i was dumbstruck i had no idea there was a reason the petunias said “oh no not again”
@@ptor175 Yup, thats the one.
It’s a pity they never released the soundtrack for this scene.
I hope you're being sarcastic, the original radio show had a better OST than this film and that was mainly BBC soundshop.
sonofcy I disagree
@@sonofcy what in fuck does it matter to you if someone likes music you don't
Movies like this are good for the imagination.
I alway's liked it.
And dolphin's are truly magical creatures...

Oh no, not again.
For some reason 3:20 really just gets me idk why but it’s just the way they all say their lines.
So that hat converts lemon juice into brain power
I want it
Wondered which Deschanel that was. Thx for including that.
they cut out so many of the clasic lin es from the movie i'm suprised this made it in
I calm myself in thinking of the best 42.

I laughed so hard for some reason.

Agrajag really couldn't get a rest huh
If there was one thing my physic Professor taught me, statistically speaking anything is possible! The chances of you zipping into another dimension is so low, you'll probably never see that within your lifetime or the entire existence of the universe.
I love the book and movie
Joan Cooner and series and radio show
What ARE cows? We just don't know.
bam!
I completely forgot that martin freeman AND zooey deschanel were in this.
HOLY SHIT THE SHIPS COMPUTER IS OFFICER DANGLE!
This movie took a lot of shots at filming this impossible to film and made some choices that people can argue about but having Simon Jones play the part of the warning message was not one of them
This was the funniest moment of the book for me. I was *literally* rolling on the floor laughing and gasping for air reading about the Whale's thoughts before it hit the ground.
Sadly The movie didn't have the same effect.
He came to the same summary as the Computer did too, 42. Pity.
I will never not enjoy a Sam Rockwell performance.
Computer do something!
Sure thing, handing over manual control. Good luck!
I Like this cast.
can you get that computer chime somewhere
the hologram message is in 3d if you have a pair of the oldschool red and green glasses

@@RatKeeperDude green
Mmmm.... Zooey Deschanel... mmmmm
The more i see of this film i think they wasted the premise
The alien.. what are cows?
man, zooey deschanel is hot af!!
Yeah, I know, but the odd thing she was in a movie wearing red lingerie, writhing. ANd my thought was she's too white. But in this, yeah she' is a wonder. the movie was YOur Highness.
The original tv series was I think better.
Some say it's bad, but nobody explains why this movie isn't good. Just that it isn't and the fact it isn't close to the books? So? Honestly, who cares how close it is to the books? I thought it was pretty damn funny.
TY.
