0:14 "Very good Nick! I think Nick should be our Captain..." *Moment's pause from John Cleese as he considers this statement before deciding it doesn't even deserve his time for a proper reply* "Nnyuh..." Hahaha!
@@Gearoidmcnaught I finally saw It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and that movie was non-stop hilarious, which is impressive considering how long it is. Now that I finally see both Mad World and Rat Race, I can't really compare the two since they are both so different. The only thing they have in common is the use of the biggest comedic actors of their time. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is a timeless classic while Rat Race is severely underrated. For me, instead of pitting both movies, I treat them in the same pedestal as some of the funniest movies ever made.
No joke. I seriously considered making "I can do anything I like. I'm eccentric" my yearbook quote for my senior year of high school... To this day I regret not doing that.
Even though... we almost had no back story as to why he was after the money........ he's just one of those characters you root for, just... because. :)
One of the best comedies ever. So many incredible scenes. It released just weeks before 9/11 and so it never got the attention it so deserved. But boy it still holds up today as one of the best.
The scene in which the brothers end up hanging the Jeep on the airport radar, the downward trail by the squirrel lady and the delivery of the heart for a transplant are my favorites, Love this movie !!! 😂😂😂😂😂
"Theoretically, you have been racing for about 40 seconds, and so far, Mr. Schaffer is winning because he's NEAREST TO THE DOOR!" That line actually does come about 40 seconds after he says "Go!"
Movie continuity that is surprisingly well done in a comedy movie that could easily have not been so accurate with that and brush it off as "oh well, comedy show!"
“I can do whatever I want, I’m eccentric.” I totally gotta use that when some jerk tries to tell me what I can and can’t do. I’m not referring to anything illegal of course.
When he got out the gun and fired off a round in the ceiling no doubt. I was like "Run! He's got a gun!" but I did laugh when he made that face and funny sound after he admitted he's eccentric.
I'm sorry I know John tried to escape his roots, but this feels scene feels so much like a Monty Python sketch. As such it was one of my favorite scenes in the movie!
You know there was some other movies that all of these actors did before this movie came out for example: John Cleese and Jon Lovitz = An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, Whoopi Goldberg and Kathy Najimy = Sister Act and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Whoopi Goldberg and Rowan Atkinson = The Lion King, Seth Green and Breckin Meyer = Can't Hardly Wait and Josie and the Pussycats and Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart = Road Trip.
Excuse me. Thank you all for coming. I'm Donald Sinclair, I own this hotel. We don't have much time. There's a meteor the size of North Carolina heading straight for Earth. The impact is going to kill every thing and everyone on this planet. I built a bunker in the basement to this casino strong enough to withstand the blast. There's room enough for eight people. I have chosen the seven of you, plus me. When this is over, it'll be up to us to repopulate and re-civilize the planet.
Can please someone recommending to me similar hilarious road trip comedies like this? They are so fun. I just watched Cannonball run, Road Trip, Midnight Run, Smokey and The bandits, Planes trains and Automobiles, Due date, National lampoon's vacation but I just need more and more of this, I love this genre of comedy
This one movie has: Mr. Bean, Chris Griffin, Jared Franklin, Clark Kent, Newman, Gloria Allred, Sister Deloris, Hanukkah Harry, Peggy Hill, and 1/5 of Monty Python. Not to mention Smash Mouth.
Also, at the time of this movie, Whoopi Goldberg was the center square on Hollywood Squares hosted by Tom Bergeron since 1998 until she left the show the following year after this movie was released.
I feel like there’s a few movies that should be remade every few decades with new cast and Rat Race is one of them. Love this one but I also love to see todays comedians in this film

"So far Mr. Schafer is winning because he's nearest to the door!" That line still kills me
Haha same here. It's such a "John Cleese" line 😂
And the way Polini cranes his head to get a better view, lmfao
Hahahaha omg
Me too. And Enrico’s reaction. 😂😂😂😂
It's not that damn funny, relax.

Hahaha!
JulianShagworthy perfectly described thank you
One of the greatest comedy movies ever!
And one of the most underrated.
Yes definitely but before Rat Race there was "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

@@StealthMaster86 Well I'm glad you enjoy it and I think both movies are both good compared to each other.
Don't make these anymore
Rat race has 44% on rotten tomatoes, I always seem to enjoy the lower rating movies than the higher rated movies.
If you enjoyed Rat Race, which I did, try Mad Mad Mad Mad World
the only movies that get actual good ratings anymore are movies that are complete head-fucks
ysmbl I'm probably going to agree with you but what do you mean by head fucks
+Joe Dickinson Maybe very complicated storylines?
PR1NCE DARKNESS low standards
“So far, Mr. Schafer’s winning because he’s nearest to the door!”
Pfft.😂😂😂
Love even more how Rowan looks over at the door still not fully understanding it XD
No joke. I seriously considered making "I can do anything I like. I'm eccentric" my yearbook quote for my senior year of high school... To this day I regret not doing that.
Wow what a wild man.
I don't care what ratings or anyone else says, I loved this movie growing up. and I still do.
when you have Mr Bean and Basil Fawlty in one movie, u know its gonna be beyond hilarious LOL
Or if you like: Edmund Blackadder and Archie Leach
@@peterdavies2960 ) was Cary Grant in this film aswell?
Also the Critic, Rodney Tillwell, Newman, and Leonardo.
@@gamestation2690 ) it was a joke.
fawlty towers!!! i see youre a person of culture!
"There are NO Rules. Go!"
"..."
...GO!"
Goodnight. Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding- ding-ding-ding.
So.. when you say go.. you mean..
0:46 - I love Cuba's face expression when John says ''two million dollars''
1:51 because he's nearest to the DOOR
He's so frustrated
I just love when he pulls out a gun it makes me laugh hard
Me too, something about how nonchalantly he just pulls it out and then they all freak out and duck for cover. hilarious
Ready set go
The way Vince Vieluf screams first is hilarious
@@unclemikey wait that was him!?! Lol
Cleese stays strapped
John Cleese has some of the best facial expressions in the world. 1:01 is a classic
Yeah, his high rolling character is hilarious; the big dentures brings it out too. And his laughter later in the film...
Cleese’s tiny “yeh” after the awkward pause before he continues is perfect
It's my favourite part of the scene lol, he hasn't got the time for nonsense 😅
This movie is slapstick comedy at its zenith. Criminally underrated film
Best movie of all time. No matter how old it was..... still the best.
I couldn't agree more.
It's not even that old.
I was rooting for Rowan Atkinson.
Even though... we almost had no back story as to why he was after the money........ he's just one of those characters you root for, just... because. :)
Well he had no family and seemed to have a tough time in Vegas.
Technically he won in my opinion, because he made it to the train station first
300daysandnights ye same
@@Jacknutcase7 he couldn't open the locker because of his narcolepsy
John Cleese just went straight R. Kelly "so i pull out my gun!"
Frank Reynolds, before Frank Reynolds
"I can do anything I like. I'm eccentric!" I use that one all the time.
One of the best comedies ever. So many incredible scenes.
It released just weeks before 9/11 and so it never got the attention it so deserved. But boy it still holds up today as one of the best.
It's a shame that it has a tragic era to start the new millenium
One of the BEST movies ever!!! I remember seeing this in the theater summer 2001.
"So far mister Schaffer is winning, because he's nearest to the DOOR."
Emphasis on DOOR
My favourite part, always makes me laugh when Rowan’s character stretches his head to look at Nick when he’s literally in plain view
I can do anything i want Owen Im eccentric! XD best scene ever.
Dude with the tongue piercing has to grab his hair to stop from laughing 😂😂😂
One of the best comedies ever. Even after 20 years it's still on my top 5 ones. Alongside scary movie
It's a race! I hope I win!!!
Theme Park Lunatic Fringe Ooh Im getting goose pimples! xD
"So far Mr Schaffer is winning because he's nearest to the door." hahaha, my favourite line from the movie
This movie is so underrated! The scenes with Donald Sinclair and his wealthy friends were my favorite lol
This was my first time watching Cheese in a film at age 12, guys mega talented
“And so far Mr Shaffeur is winning because he’s nearest to the door!”
The scene in which the brothers end up hanging the Jeep on the airport radar, the downward trail by the squirrel lady and the delivery of the heart for a transplant are my favorites, Love this movie !!! 😂😂😂😂😂
"Theoretically, you have been racing for about 40 seconds, and so far, Mr. Schaffer is winning because he's NEAREST TO THE DOOR!"
That line actually does come about 40 seconds after he says "Go!"
Movie continuity that is surprisingly well done in a comedy movie that could easily have not been so accurate with that and brush it off as "oh well, comedy show!"
Rowan Atkinson "A race? He said race! I hope I win." 😆
💵💰🏁🏃🏃♀️
😂😂
I get the feeling that John Cleese would do this in real life if given the opportunity
Well, you never know.
“I think Nick should be our Captain” 😂
“I can do whatever I want, I’m eccentric.” I totally gotta use that when some jerk tries to tell me what I can and can’t do. I’m not referring to anything illegal of course.
This movie is an underrated comedy masterpiece!
That guy with the tounge pierce is my uncle XD
Cool
Tell him I said hi
B Klenzing Tell him I think he is sexy lol
Tell him i said "fifty fifty"
I call bullshit on that one
When he just finally pulls the gun and they all lose it 😂😂
I remember the old days of watching this on weekend evenings on my PS2 lol.
When he got out the gun and fired off a round in the ceiling no doubt. I was like "Run! He's got a gun!" but I did laugh when he made that face and funny sound after he admitted he's eccentric.
Today marks exactly twenty years since production began on this fantastic, underrated comedy! (August 9, 2020)
😁😊
The laughter omg honestly omg !
One of the greatest n most underrated comic movies of all time
John cleese's teeth crack me up in this 😂
Saint Apollonia
Uh begin, commence, start moving lol
Frankie Gino Mr schafer is supposedly winning right now Cause He is Nearest TO The DOOR! XD love how he says that lol
2:03 "AHHHAA... CRAZY!!!"
lmao that was Cuba Gooding Jr
The scene where Duanes Brother laughs at the dice is probably one of my favorite scenes.
I'm sorry I know John tried to escape his roots, but this feels scene feels so much like a Monty Python sketch. As such it was one of my favorite scenes in the movie!
0:20 it kills me seeing King Harold agreeing with Emile Mondavarious at making Nick the Captain 😂
My guy…also Zazu and one of the hyenas are involved
I love how nobody reacts the way he expects. Even when he shoots, they don't start racing, they just run away from the crazy guy with a gun.
Such a underrated film, Im watching it now for the first time in years and man I forgot just how funny this movie was.
Can't believe this movie is 20 yrs old time sure flies
More, time does not exist!
Criminally underrated movie
2:03 omg Blaine's scream always gets me lol!
Enrico Polini aka Mr. Beans cousin lol
"How do ya stahhhrrt it?" 😕
Moments later...
"...We came in a rocket car
..." 🤪
The gun 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that kills me
After hearing about it for two decades, I've never seen even a minute of this movie...
It is now on my watch list. :3
Love this movie...just watched it again last night.
You know there was some other movies that all of these actors did before this movie came out for example: John Cleese and Jon Lovitz = An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, Whoopi Goldberg and Kathy Najimy = Sister Act and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Whoopi Goldberg and Rowan Atkinson = The Lion King, Seth Green and Breckin Meyer = Can't Hardly Wait and Josie and the Pussycats and Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart = Road Trip.
Very good, Luis! I think Luis should be our captain
I wonder if any of Whoopi Goldberg's Rat Race co-stars know that she was in the Michael Jackson music video Liberian Girl.
Excuse me. Thank you all for coming. I'm Donald Sinclair, I own this hotel. We don't have much time. There's a meteor the size of North Carolina heading straight for Earth.

And they only have one fertile women!
Poor women
I couldn’t resist!!!
I love this movie its hilarious
Happy 20th anniversary to Rat Race
Tongue pierced guy is awesome!
Amazing film!
Also...we're as far away from 2001 now as 2001 was to when Fawlty Towers was made (1979). Wow.
This movie had some serious star power
a race he said race I hope I win lol
We came here in a rocket car and the squirrel lady were my favorite parts of rat race
When I saw this for the first time at the theater I seriously thought I was gonna laugh my guts out at that scene. Still hilarious.
renting this at blockbuster BACK IN THE DAY AND REWINDING THIS PART 1:12.
1:12 growl growl 😁😁
0:44 one time i forwarded here and it sounds like he says "$2" which makes Cuba's reaction funnier to me than it should be
I love this
Go
Pistol 🔫 (shot)
Go!
Thank you for this! One of my favorite movies.
John Cleese new teeth are still bedding in by the looks of it
When buddy shoots the gun off lolz 😂😂😂
Such a perfect movie
John Clease is a GLOBAL treasure ❤
I saw this movie when I was a kid and damn it's still very, very funny!
"no rules huh?" *pulls out gun and shoots the other players*
"clean this up when I go get my money!"
Love that all this guy and his men do is place bets on everything. Everything...
XD
Happy Birthday John, hope you are having a wonderful day. Rat race was so funny. 🙂

Mad mad mad mad world
What’s Up Doc
I loved this movie.
THE O.G SQUID GAME
Very good Nick. I think Nick should be our Captain
This one movie has: Mr. Bean, Chris Griffin, Jared Franklin, Clark Kent, Newman, Gloria Allred, Sister Deloris, Hanukkah Harry, Peggy Hill, and 1/5 of Monty Python.
Not to mention Smash Mouth.
Sister Mary Clarence and Sister Mary Patrick!
Also, at the time of this movie, Whoopi Goldberg was the center square on Hollywood Squares hosted by Tom Bergeron since 1998 until she left the show the following year after this movie was released.
And Jon Arbuckle
One of the most rediculous and funniest movies I've ever seen
Great film, all of them. Only every 10-15 years or so, a movie comes out that is this funny.
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT
Zazu and Shenzi, the two Lion King actors to appear in this movie.
To this day, Banzai falling into the thorns still kills me. 😂
I think Nick should be our captain 😂
0:16 very good nick, he should be our captain, 👀……..yea anyways
"Theoretically you have been Racing for 40 seconds and so far Mr. Schafer is winning because he's nearest to the Door." Always cracks me up
If you're going to attempt a direct quote as your comment YEARS after the movie has been released, you could at least get it right.
@@SignatureSeven why don't you try to listen and type at the same time and tell me how easy it is to remember what the direct quote was
I probably haven’t watched this since 4 years old lol
A rework of the classic “It’s a mad, mad, mad world”, but a decent one nonetheless.
Squid Game: Lite Edition
1:27 "are you ready?" Fawlty Towers reference
that puuuur kills me everytime!
That man screamed so loud 😂
I feel like there’s a few movies that should be remade every few decades with new cast and Rat Race is one of them. Love this one but I also love to see todays comedians in this film
I still fail to see how this movie was so poorly received by critics. It's a comedy classic.
It's not like Caddyshack, Home Alone, A Fish Called Wanda, Tootsie type of comedy
@@lexkanyima2195 No, but it *_literally_* is like a "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, World" type of comedy, which IS a classic.
