I was a grad student at the university of oregon when they tore the animal house down. I jumped the fence and grabbed a piece of the porch. I still have it somewhere.
@@michaelcap9550 Forget Porky's! It's no contest, and I've seen "Porky's" a number of times. "Animal House" blows "Porky's" completely up, and out! Or just blows it! EAT ME
I was the Food & Beverage Manager of the Eugene Hotel when Animal House was filmed. During the filming many members of the cast & crew came to the hotel for "Blue Monday." We would have northwest blues bands play. Curtis Salgado, who was the front man for The Robert Cray Band taught John Belushi to play the harmonica. Belushi came up with the idea for The Blues Brothers from watching Curtis h the rest of the band. Fun times & lots of drugs too!
@Tom Reedy Yep, the Blues Brothers Wikipedia page mentions this as well, and says in the first appearance of the Blues Brothers on SNL, they used alternate lyrics written by Salgado for a song.
Interior of the Animal House was filmed in Sigma Nu fraternity. How do I know? I was a Sigma Nu who was living there when it was being filmed. Met John Belushi. Very down to earth guy. Toga party held in our basement. Good times.
Exterior and interior of Omega House was the Phi Kappa Psi frat . . I do I know, I pledged 3 years after they filmed. Wasn't Sigma Nu the exterior of the sorority?
1978, in the service, had a few beers . saw this with some other guys from the barracks. it was hilarious, laughed so hard i fell out of my chair, couldnt stop laughing. best years of SNL too, thanks Belushi......... memories.........still funny
I had the three houses on a Eugene Register-Guard newspaper route during filming in Nov 1977. Omega house in real life is the Phi Kappa Psi house, Delta house was a work release center for convicts transitioning back to civilian life, and the sorority house is the Sigma Nu house.
That's because when he was the head of another university, he had turned down The Graduate from filming, and he said he would never make that mistake again.
@@e815usa Only movie that was filmed on Momouth Univsitiy's Campus in West Long Branch, New Jersey was Annie which Wilson Hall was transformed into Daddy Warbucks Fifth Avenue Mansion.
I was in a fraternity, as a pledge in 1962, and this movie was very close to my experience. I love this movie as it represents a time that I personally experienced.
I recently saw Twilight Zone:The Movie. There is a scene where Vic Morrow's character is in Vietnam. One of the soldiers yells at the others "I told we shouldn't have killed Lt. Niedermeyer". A John Landis connection no doubt.
I grew up in Eugene and was driving down E. 18th and saw them filming the ROTC scene by Hayward Field where Niedermeyer yells his infamous, "drop and give me 20!" line. Also, my high school marching band was the band in the parade at the end of the movie that gets led down a dead-end alley. I missed being in that marching band by one year. And the Dexter Lake Club was definitely not a "soul" bar.
I wonder what Mary Louise Weller looks like today, at 76? [b. Sep. 1, 1946; 31 when filming in Oct-Dec. 1977] Mandy Pepperidge is absolutely gorgeous, even if she has at tarty attitude-towards Otter! "Don't flatter yourself, Otter. It wasn't that good!" --Mandy to Otter Otter: [silently mouthing the words back to her and the film audience] "Wasn't that good?"
I can still remember the day we went to see this in 78. Most comedies I laugh maybe a few times. We were laughing so hard I was falling out of my chair at Animal House for the entire film. We knew that we were watching a classic.
It's been an assumption around Eugene that the old house used as the "Delta House" was ruined by the production of the movie. I just want to state that assumption is not true. That house was in pretty sad shape when the production started and wouldn't have been habitable in a few years from the time of the movie, and the property owners were going to remove it anyway. There was a thought that it could have been moved to another location, however, it was *originally* so poorly built it wouldn't have survived even being lifted off the foundation. It was sad to see the old house get torn down, but it was inevitable anyway.
Childhood favorite & is to this day. Grew up watching this on good olé VHS. Had family in the film & their hot rods were featured in the parade for the film. Timeless & an absolute priceless comedy film in cinema history. 🖤 Ohhhh & one more thing... Goooooooo Ducks. 😎🦆
Our DKE house at Miami University in 1965-67 was just like Delta house. Anyone could pledge. We had guys drive their motorcycles into our house. We were almost the anti-fraternity. Our antics in Southwest Ohio were legendary. Sadly two brothers died while serving in the military during the Vietnam war.
A lot of people don't know but one night after filming in Eugene John Belushi was out walking around and walked in to a blue bar where he met the blues singer Curtis Salgado and they sat down and talk music and movies and after a few drinks they came up with an idea about a movie about the blues and they called it The Blues Brothers.
Brings back memories. My Frat, also named Delta Tau experience was quite similar( I pledged in 1984). We had Otis Day and the Knights play at our house also, complete with a Toga party. Best days of my life.
At an interfraternity conference in Reno after filming and before release, UO members told us about this film and we couldn't wait for it to be released!
I love, to this day, D-Day (Bruce McGill) riding up the stairs on a Harley-Davidson Sportster and playing the "William Tell Overture on his adam's apple. Classic.
Right up there with Airplane, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the list of funniest movies ever made. For a while, in the early 80's, when the Pittsburgh Pirates played at Three Rivers Stadium and were losing going to the bottom of the 9th inning, they would play Belushi's "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" on the scoreboard. It always went over well.
I live in Eugene, Oregon home of the Oregon Ducks, my whole family bleeds green and Animal House is a staple movie that sits on the mantel of the Duck shrine Go Ducks!!!!
I am almost 50, and have still never seen this movie-even though I’m a native refining and duck fan and have been to plenty of U of O football games… might be time to rectify that.
Only movie I've ever watched where I was laughing so hard I felt I was going to throw up -I had to cover my eyes to calm down -It was the John Belushi cafeteria scene. It was my first year at University though :)
Always liked Bruce McGills haircut. He went to a local barber in Eugene who had been cutting hair from way back. McGill asked can you do a “Chicago Boxcar with a Boston Back”. The barbers reply, Done a million of em”.
Faber College was supposed to be set in Tennessee. The state flag of TN was prominently displayed at the front of the large classroom where Delta House "went on trial" in front of Dean Wormer
"I think he's just dreamy!" --Babs [she pretended to have one, at least it sounded like a Southern accent to me] Anyway, no other State was mentioned besides Penn. in the movie itself, so nobody knew back then it was filmed at Eugene, OR. It could have been anywhere, as far as the general public knew!
I was there as a student at the time. They were always looking for extras with the requirement that you have short hair and no beards. I refused to apply because I wasn't about to to cut my hair! :-) BTW, this is where the Blues Brothers was formed...at the Eugene Hotel. Belushi would perform just for fun, and one of his bits was as a 'Blues Brother'. If anyone has an original LP of the Blues Bros first album, on the back the cover it says, "Special thanks to the Eugene Hotel."
Dan Aykroyd was offered the part of the handlebar mustache guy on the motorcycle, but he stayed with SNL full-time out of loyalty, while Belushi split time between SNL and the movie. The initial cast was also to feature Chevy Chase as Otter, Bill Murray as Boon and Brian Doyle-Murray as Hoover, but they didn't do it for various reasons.

Bluto: [raises eyebrows at him numerous times] "FOOD FIGHT!"
@@freeguy77 Another of my favorite scenes is in the garage the morning after the guys' grand adventure at the Dexter Lake Club ("Flounder''s" crying, "What am I going to tell Fred?")
Lorne Michaels said to him if he took a part in the movie, he would be gone! Anyway, the producers did not want the film to be with only SNL players. Good thing, as Tim, Peter, Stephen, Thomas, Kevin, Bruce, James, etc. were far better as [most] film newbies, fresh, and funny, than the old SNL guys Chevy and Bill.
It is my understanding that Faber College, and thereby, the town of Faber, were located in Pennsylvania - and for the Delta House expulsion trial, the producer needed a Pennsylvania state flag - because having the Oregon state flag in this scene would have been a dead giveaway, as the Oregon flag has the state name on it. When a Pennsylvania state flag couldn't be found, the producers decided to obtain, and the crew followed the order to obtain, the "most generic looking" state flag they could find. As fate would have it, the "most generic looking" state flag found - and used - was the Tennessee state flag. The rest, as they say, is history.
I haven't seen the MOvie in several years. I think one interesting thing about the Movie is that Kevin Bacon who had a minor role in the Movie became a superstar while Tim Matheson and Peter Reigart who along with Belush were the stars of the MOvie never did get a career as big as Kevin Bacon.
Faber College is supposed to be in Pennsylvania. Faber is a brand of pencil, ergo, Faber, Pennsylvania. The most famous Faber pencil is a yellow painted pencil called the Mongol. The football team of Faber is called the Mongols. Although Faber is supposed to be in Pennsylvania, the flag seen in the trial is the Tennessee state flag. For some reason, that was the only one they could get.
When I was in college, I use to date twin sisters. Not at the same time of course. Every Thursday night was party night. On Saturday me and some of my dorm buddies would go drinking at a stripper bar.

It was on last night. Not censored either, which means seeing that great pair on Shelly Dubinsky!
I agree with you 100 percent!
It makes my day to know that D-Day’s actor can actually do that throat flick noise and that it wasn’t just edited in later 😂
Everything was pretty real. Even the scene where Belushi chugs the Jack Daniels.
Hoover could really juggle tennis rackets, too.
@@Joshz2014 They used iced tea (you can see it foams as he drinks it). Nobody could chug a whole fifth of JD.
Bruce McGill has a pretty impressive resume as a character actor.
Charles Brooks seeing the actor doing that throat gag exactly how he did it in the film got me teary. Silly i know. :)
