No, Ty Webb did not drug the Perrier bottle. He had a bunch of opened bottles around the half eaten pizza and poured one into the other to make it appear full and stuck a cap on it. When he "opened" it in front of Lacey Underall, he blew on it to pretend it was still fizzy instead of flat.
Yeah I don’t know why no one gets this joke. It’s so obvious it’s flat Perrier any pretend it’s a fresh bottle. Why don’t you get that and it automatically go to somebody’s drugging somebody
Rodney is always like that, but in this he really pushed it in a few places. He would start doing his routine in a scene and no one would laugh (because they are actors trying not to ruin a take), so he would just go harder. The caddies were supposed to be the A plot, but you can't throw Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray in a movie and not expect them to completely steal the show... Also The 'Cinderella Story' scene was completely improvised. Harold Ramis asked Bill Murray to come up with a funny scene and he asked for a golf club and a couple rows of flowers.
Rodney absolutely crushes it in this movie, just hilarious stuff. “You buy a hat like this, I bet you get a free bowl of soup. Oh, looks great on you though."
I think the freakiest version of Rodney was in Natural Born Killers. It’s pretty dark and I was surprised he would play such a disgusting character. Really, the whole scene was surreal.
Easy Money 🤑💰, lol 😅😆😆🤣 ,1983. And Back to School,1986 Lol 😉😆. Rodney. ,He was also in,Billy Joel. 1983 Tell Her About it. But , Easy Money, him and Joe Pesci,😂😂😂😂😂😂
A few years before making this movie, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase had a fight backstage at "SNL" where they almost came to blows. There was no way the studio was going to make a movie with these huge comedy stars and not have a scene with them together, so even though it was sort of a risk, Ramis asked them if they'd do it. Apparently they worked the scene out together over an afternoon and it was a totally conflict-free part of filming, which was kind of raucous otherwise because there were so many comedians partying all night long while making the movie. A few years later, Chase also visited the set of Ghostbusters; there's a famous picture of him and Murray dancing on the steps of Gozer's shrine.
Little bit of trivia about the explosion at the climax: 1-It was so big that a pilot landing at a nearby airport saw it and reported a plane crash. 2-The owners of the resort agreed to let the production crew film most of the movie there with the condition that the 💥 be filmed elsewhere. It got filmed there anyway without their knowledge because Harold Ramis (or maybe someone else) took the owners out to lunch while the crew filmed the 💥. "It's always easier to ask for forgiveness afterwards than permission beforehand." -some sneaky s.o.b.
Ted Knight is pound for pound the funniest guy in the movie, he's in it the most and every time I see it, I appreciate his performance even more. There was stuff in this edit you never see in other edits, stuff I had forgotten about, thanks for that, George. Chevy Chase also is so funny, so understated, the complete opposite of the other three. Just what the movie needs. The movie Harold Ramis and Doug Kenney wrote before this is the one that kicked off this entire type of movie: "National Lampoon's Animal House". If you like this one, check that one out, that's the mother of 'em all.
What I love of about this is the a plot is the caddy, b plot is bill murray and c plot is checy chase with the d plot being smails and rodney... Movie's with so many subplots some related some related only tangentally... that is life man.
No he didn't drug her. He had two open half bottles of Perrier water and poured it into one to make it seem he had a fresh bottle and faked all the "bubbles" that were supposed to exist. 🤣
There's a lot of backstory for this movie. The script started off totally different and was focused on the caddies, particularly Danny. But once they started filming, they took it in another direction since they had such great comedic actors on board. When they finished filming, Harold Ramis (the director) realized he had vignettes but not a storyline that weaved it together. That's when the whole groundhog story was added. Behind the scenes, it was an almost continuous party. Alcohol and drugs were the norm every night of the week. The producers finally had to put their foot down to get things under control. When the movie was released, it didn't do well. It was only over time that it became a beloved classic.
It's initial failure also led to the death of of the films films writer/Producer. Who wanted a more coherent coming of age story and what he got led into a deep depression.
@@zeanamush That writer/Producer was Doug Kenney who also wrote much of "Animal House". The initial failure wasn't what bothered him it was that they changed so much of the script and added the Gopher which Kenney was dead set against. Kenney died falling/jumping of a cliff in Hawaii. The joke was that Kenney didn't jump but probably slipped and fell while looking for a place to jump.
To this day, during high-pressure sports moments (like the opposing team going for the winning field goal), I still go "Noonan! Noonan! No-oo-oonan!" 😁
The Music for the minister’s golf round, in the rain, was inspired by the 1950s “The Ten Commandments” film Rodney Dangerfield, being a stand-up comedian, had some difficulty with Caddyshack being his first film. It was noted that some of the best scenes were improvised. BTW, the stuffed gopher was a weird “B” storyline, with “I’m Alright” by Kenny Loggins - the theme song.
One of the all time great comedies movies for comedies' sake. If you like the improv lines , there is a movie called "Running Scared" with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. It's an 80s, buddy-cop/ action flick but Billy and Gregory improved something like 80% of their lines. Worth a watch.
Yes, that was pretty much Rodney in everything. His improv -insult comedy was his schtick and it was great. Of course, he was doing an act, but he was such a master at it he was able to slip in and out of doing it like a chameleon which is why he was one of the greats.
Yes Simone and george definitely watch original bad news bears it was one of those 70s movies that was a freak phenomenon and swept the nation at the time
This movie had a totally different storyline and script when originally filmed. Then the comedians showed up and were allowed to just improv like crazy. In the editing room, they managed to put together one of the most nonsensical but hilarious films of all time. The Editor deserved not only an Oscar but director and writing credits.
Except in Switzerland. They they caught him driving a golf cart drunk. They fine you a percentage of your income. Bill noped outta paying them 100's of thousands of $ and fled the country.
I think the point of the drink was that he was pouring tap water into a fizzy Perrier water bottle, then adding something that fizzes (alka seltzer?) into it, and then pretending to open the bottle fresh. Just a "slob pretending to be classy" bit.
Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" is the only film where Dangerfield doesn't play his usual on-screen persona. There was more partying than anything else. They were reworking the script as they went along. For one of the film's anniversaries, they released a foot tall figure of the true star of the film, the gopher. It looked exactly as he does in the movie, including "fur". One pushed a button on the base, the Kenny Loggin's song plays while the gopher dances. I wish I still had mine.
My parents were members at a small local country club when I was growing up. If you've never been inside one before you might be surprised how accurate the depiction was of the members in this movie. So many were insufferable snobs. I once saw Caddyshack referred to as The Slobs vs The Snobs. Pretty accurate.
The amazing thing about the "Caldarella story.." scene is that in the script it just says something like: "The groundskeeper trims the weeds". Ramis just let Murry be Murry and it's iconic. Also, if you're looking for more Rodney Dangerfield, I highly recommend a movie of his called Back to School.
I've run across references in the past that Willie is based on the character Joseph from "Wuthering Heights" (that character has a Yorkshire accent, but for Americans, a Scottish accent is more familiar and "close enough" lol). The fact that he is swoll under his coveralls is a nod to the "brooding servant gigolo" from bodice ripper novels (the kind that have Fabio on the cover).
The gopher was forced into the story by a studio executive. It really change the original screen play. Also Brian Doyle Murray co-wrote the screen play which is about his and Bill Murray's child hood as caddys. Brian Doyl Murray plays the caddy manager I guess you would call it.
You know, I have been watching this film for almost 40 years of my 42 year old life, I never thought in all that time Ty's noises could be a reference to the Six Million Dollar Man, I thought it was an original gimmick. It totally makes sense now.
There are soooo many films that use references to then-popular TV shows. These jokes will be lost forever as audiences no longer have guidance to these tidbits. AIRPLANEs, NAKEN GUNs, BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANK, etc all-but-require '50s-'90s TV history awareness for many jokes. In another few decades, all will be lost. Will those films survive to be popular in 100 years? Hmmm... some people will live long enough to know.
Plan B was 1999, way after this film. Of course it's after Jaws so there's homage there. As for the preacher going for the club record in the driving thunderstorm, I don't know if that's referencing anything. But it does contain my favorite line "I don't think the heavy stuff's coming down for quite some time now." The gopher would be CGI now, for no good reason. The puppet would save millions, and would look more in-world with the shot, and it's fine to be a puppet since it's so ridiculous anyways.
@@theshadowfax239 i am saying that when done right, MODERN CGI and puppetry/practical can be equaly realistic,. I am not saying that a 40yr old puppet is equal to CGI. Even 20yrs ago, CGI was still worse then puppetry/practical. just look ar Scorpion King in The Mummy Rerurns. Even new releases now have CGI thT can suck.
Rodney got famous for his stand up act, which is why most of his characters go that route. He does occasionally change it up, but it's always entertaining. As for the mysterious scene with the drinks, Chase consolidates the contents of many open bottles into one almost full looking one, shakes it up to pretend it still has carbonation, and passes it off as new. Great reaction as always, you'll be quoting this movie forever.
With the Bill Murray pitchfork scene, he really had a real one against that kid,and the kid didnt know he was going to do that and was legit scared. He had a lot of improvised things throughout as you all guessed.
There's a little bit about the making of this movie in the bio-pic "A Futile and Stupid Gesture" The movie is about one of the co-founders of the National Lampoon magazine, Doug Kenney, who was also a writer for this movie.
The story i heard was that the story was actually a serious story line with Danny and the girl getting pregnant. But they put Daingerfield, Murray, Chase, and the others and told them to just be them. It quickly turned into a comedy.
"The richer the person, the cheaper they are." So true. I'm a magician, and there's a saying we have: The longer the driveway, the smaller the tip. Meaning the richer the client is, the less they want to tip (or even pay you). It's because they expect to get everything for nothing.
SIMONE & GEORGE: "Knight's speaking voice also brought him work as a voice artist for various animated series produced by Filmation and Hanna-Barbera, including Star Trek: The Animated Series, The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, The Batman/Superman Hour, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Fantastic Voyage, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Super Friends, and Lassie's Rescue Rangers. The Mary Tyler Moore Show "His role as the vain and untalented WJM newscaster Ted Baxter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show brought Knight widespread recognition and his greatest success. He received six Emmy Award nominations for the role, winning the Emmy for 'Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Comedy' in 1973 and 1976." -Wikipedia
The stars get the attention here, but Michael O’Keefe (Danny) is actually a very good actor. He was nominated for an academy award (“The Great Santini “) and went on to a pretty decent TV career - including very memorable appearances on all three Law and Order shows.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. So much of the comedy is on the nose, but so much of it is also subtle and stuff you might not pick up on upon a first viewing. Great casting, a simple enough plot that allows each of the characters to do their thing without overshadowing each other, and the perfect amount of absurdity.
One of the most quoted films ever. First year in college mid 80's, my student apartments got 2 local channels in the semi rural town. We had a VCR player and 2 VHS tapes that we had playing all day everyday. The 2 films were Caddyshack and Apocalypse Now. We literally had the films memorized.
One thing to remember is this was written as a teen coming of age film about Danny, But once the comedic talent on set got rolling They ditched most of the script and Focused more attention on Chevy Chase and Bill Murray.
he just mixed a bunch of the open bottles together to make it look like a new one. and then did a little distraction while he pretended to open it. no drugging.
I saw a National Lampoon documentary and they covered the making of this (and their other) films and apparently the lead actors: Chase, Murray, Dangerfield, the guy who played Danny were all high on coke in almost every scene they're in. Ramis implied that's one of the main reasons the film was completed on time.
There was also a hurricane right on top of them during filming. Also bill Murray and Chevy hated each other and could barely be next to each other . Only one scene with 2 biggest stars together because of it
Funny thing about this movie and the summer of 1980. In 1978 Animal House came out and was a big hit, and the guys behind that split up. Ramis did Caddyshack and Landis did Blues Brothers. Those were supposed to be the big comedy hits duking it out at the box office that summer. However, neither really took off at the theaters (both made it really big in the home market, though). Instead, a small production by some brothers who only had one small independent movie before came on the scene and nailed the summer market that year. That movie was Airplane! So if you want to get some context on the humor of 1980, consider that Caddyshack, The Blues Brothers, and Airplane! all came out at the same time.
Sports Illustrated used to do a “Where Are They Now?” issue and interviewed a lot of the writers/actors involved. The fact that managed to finish filming with all the background crap is an accomplishment.
My Dad just passed away a couple days ago and I was looking for something to make me laugh!! I love watching reaction videos and this was hilarious! It's always been one of my favorite movies - and Good Lord it be so offensive today to so many people! I still love it and thanks for the laugh break.
I'm 54 yrs old and I've seen this movie more times than I can remember. Quote it still. I've heard the song in the opening scene, "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins a $hit ton of times. It wasn't until a couple of months ago that i found out that Eddie Money sings back up on it. Especially the line, "You make feel good." I'm a huge EM fan too. That blew my mind. Now i hear it and it's so obvious! Hopefully I blew some of your minds with this too. Ha!
Would love a couple of Rodney Dangerfield reactions: Back to School (VERY 80s comedy), and Natural Born Killers (definitely his darkest role, albeit a small part; crazy movie)
"He's such a weirdo! He's so outrageous! Ted Knight is hilarious!" My thoughts exactly Simone. I love how bizarre he is, and how angry he gets 🤣🤣🤣 "You'll get nothing and like it!" is one of my favorite lines ever.
The music during the Bishop's rainy golf game is originally from the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner. If you haven't seen it already, it's a 3 hour movie adaptation of the Book of Exodus. Not sure if that helps explain the scene any better, but there ya go.
If you do check out more Rodney Dangerfield, "Back To School" should be next. Not only is it probably his best movie, you get the added bonus of seeing a very young Robert Downey Jr.
I know Cindy Morgan (who played Lacy Underall) and her stories about what went on while making that movie are LEGENDARY! ...the cast and crew filmed in Florida, pretended that it was Illinois, and partied their way through a freaking HURRICANE!!!! Seriously, they partied through a hurricane. And this was the first movie that Harold Ramis ever directed.
Mine is a minor voice, but I have a request... My favorite Bill Murray movie is "stripes" he co-stars with Harold Ramis and John Candy, with Warren Oates ("Dillinger"). I was a military brat and saw this for the first time when I was living on an Airbase in Germany in the late 80's. I never had a positive view of military life, except for the aspects highlighted in this movie - nor had I ever laughed so hard!!! Love this reaction, you guys are awesome!
OMG Simone as the Goffer was hilarious and had me laughing even before I clicked on play. I love this movie so much, one of the comedies my Dad and I would quote to each other allll the time.
I read that this was originally going to be a drama with Danny as the main character, then once these comedians were signed on they rewrote big chunks of it, which is why it's a little disjointed between comedy scenes and drama scenes.
Chase and Murray hated each other at time. Chase resented Murray replacing him on SNL. Also that scene added as during filming, Ramis and producers realized story had no scened with the 2 of them together and they were banking on them to sell the movie.
I think there's a lot of misinformation about their relationship and what happened on SNL. It's my understanding, from multiple interviews, that it was John and Chevy that never really got along that well. John resented that Chevy was Lorne's favorite and had put him in so many sketches that 1st season as well as made him a Weekend Update anchor. As a result he got famous and some movie offers and left the show. When he came back to host in the 2nd season, Belushi riled up the the 'new guy' Bill against Chevy. It didn't help that Chevy was a bit full of himself at the time. Some words were exchanged between Chevy and Bill and a couple punches thrown. That was about it. By the time they did Caddyshack together, they had patched things up and really enjoyed working together in their scene.
@@TorgoLives yeah Belushi was the shit disturber, but murray and chase still had the berf between them. jb pumped up bn, but cc came back eith serious attitude, so by time filmed movie, they hated each other. i didnt mention jb as didnt want to give whole complicated backstory because the why and how they hated each other doesnt matter to point that they did at the time.
I love that you were giggling about how silly "the shack where the caddies hang out" is, when that's exactly what it means. "You'll get nothing and like it" is the most-quoted line in my friend group.
While Rodney Dangerfield's comedy in this is indeed his style, he's generally far more self-deprecating. "I get no respect." Is his "tag line" so to speak.
The great irony of Rodney Dangerfield is that his stand-up comedy was all about how he doesn't get respect. But his best movie roles (Caddyshack and Back to School) are where he plays a wealthy hotshot. You guys should watch Back to School.
The caddies were meant to be the focus of the film, but the plot was shit and the seasoned comedians stole every scene they were in, so the focus shifted.
Unfortunately YT guidelines are not the same fore very channel. we've gotten away with things that other channels get blocked for, while other channels have gotten away with things we werent allow to show. it goes as far back as our Harry Potter videos where the system couldnt differentiate between a movie about wizards and actual kids in danger so they marked the videos as "content containing child endangerment". but essentially every video we put up, we test multiple versions to see how much we actually need to censor. we keep trying until we get a version that passes the test. if given the chance we would censor nothing, since it also means less work and time on our part.
There are stories in the golf world that Trump was Rodney Daingerfields character incarnate when looking to buy a golf course country club back in the day.
It just hurts my heart that George fixates so much on the Judge and completely ignores Rodney Dangerfield's and Chevy Chase's characters...and somehow takes away that all rich people are cheap. Not lawyers...not people who run country clubs...just all rich people. SMH

Conflict was Chase left SNL, Murray came in, and people kept saying show was better with Murray.
Didn't one of them insult the other by referring to him as "medium talent"?
@@fredfredburger5150 I think Murray said that to Chase.

FYI: the dude in charge of the caddies is Bill Murray’s real life brother, Brian Doyle Murray.
My parents were members at a small local country club when I was growing up. If you've never been inside one before you might be surprised how accurate the depiction was of the members in this movie. So many were insufferable snobs. I once saw Caddyshack referred to as The Slobs vs The Snobs. Pretty accurate.
That the tagline on the cover of the VHS copy I own 🙂
The amazing thing about the "Caldarella story.." scene is that in the script it just says something like: "The groundskeeper trims the weeds". Ramis just let Murry be Murry and it's iconic.
Also, if you're looking for more Rodney Dangerfield, I highly recommend a movie of his called Back to School.
I could be completely wrong, but I always thought the Scottish groundskeeper in this was the inspiration for Groundskeeper Willie in the Simpsons.
You can also draw a line between the niece walking along side the pool to the time when Peter first met Louise in Family Guy.
Aye, I think you're right, laddie.
Or maybe the tie between golf and Scotland
Possibly.
I've run across references in the past that Willie is based on the character Joseph from "Wuthering Heights" (that character has a Yorkshire accent, but for Americans, a Scottish accent is more familiar and "close enough" lol).
The fact that he is swoll under his coveralls is a nod to the "brooding servant gigolo" from bodice ripper novels (the kind that have Fabio on the cover).
The gopher was forced into the story by a studio executive. It really change the original screen play. Also Brian Doyle Murray co-wrote the screen play which is about his and Bill Murray's child hood as caddys. Brian Doyl Murray plays the caddy manager I guess you would call it.
You know, I have been watching this film for almost 40 years of my 42 year old life, I never thought in all that time Ty's noises could be a reference to the Six Million Dollar Man, I thought it was an original gimmick. It totally makes sense now.
It actually says they are in the subtitles.
@@3DJapan Most of us in the US don't use subtitles so will NEVER know what they say.
There are soooo many films that use references to then-popular TV shows. These jokes will be lost forever as audiences no longer have guidance to these tidbits. AIRPLANEs, NAKEN GUNs, BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANK, etc all-but-require '50s-'90s TV history awareness for many jokes. In another few decades, all will be lost. Will those films survive to be popular in 100 years? Hmmm... some people will live long enough to know.
@@paulmartin2348 That show was pretty popular outside the US though.
@@Cbcw76 There is a possibility someone could make a good living making 20 minute no-spoiler previews for those movies on RUclips.
Plan B was 1999, way after this film. Of course it's after Jaws so there's homage there. As for the preacher going for the club record in the driving thunderstorm, I don't know if that's referencing anything. But it does contain my favorite line "I don't think the heavy stuff's coming down for quite some time now."
The gopher would be CGI now, for no good reason. The puppet would save millions, and would look more in-world with the shot, and it's fine to be a puppet since it's so ridiculous anyways.
The reverend was in _The Ten Commandments_ I think, because the music in that scene is from that movie.
not sure of puppet sabing millions. both puppetry and CGI about same costs for similar quality now.
@@marcelmoreau2733 Do you really think that gopher puppet has the same quality as CGI? The point is you want the puppet looking janky and silly. 🤦♀️
@@theshadowfax239 i am saying that when done right, MODERN CGI and puppetry/practical can be equaly realistic,. I am not saying that a 40yr old puppet is equal to CGI. Even 20yrs ago, CGI was still worse then puppetry/practical. just look ar Scorpion King in The Mummy Rerurns. Even new releases now have CGI thT can suck.
Rodney got famous for his stand up act, which is why most of his characters go that route. He does occasionally change it up, but it's always entertaining. As for the mysterious scene with the drinks, Chase consolidates the contents of many open bottles into one almost full looking one, shakes it up to pretend it still has carbonation, and passes it off as new. Great reaction as always, you'll be quoting this movie forever.
With the Bill Murray pitchfork scene, he really had a real one against that kid,and the kid didnt know he was going to do that and was legit scared. He had a lot of improvised things throughout as you all guessed.
He's probably eternally grateful for the close-ups in a memorable scene ... otherwise, he would have just been another extra, right?
There's a little bit about the making of this movie in the bio-pic "A Futile and Stupid Gesture" The movie is about one of the co-founders of the National Lampoon magazine, Doug Kenney, who was also a writer for this movie.
Writer/actor Brian Doyle-Murray's brother - Bill Murray. I guess that's why Brian is also in "Groundhog Day".
Rodney Dangerfield had a really disturbing character in 'Natural Born Killers'
He played is so well it almost ruined his career.
Jaws vibes when the chocolate d00dy floats was funny as hell.
There’s an uncredited writer on this movie: cocaine
And he got paid the most.
Having seen this back when it first came out, I’ll never forget the collective gasp in the theater when Lacey first walked into the scene.
Rodney Dangerfield is one of best of the one liners. ‘Back to School’ is an another great comedy staring Dangerfield that can’t be missed
So many good one-liners from this movie but my favorite has got to be "I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for a little while!"
"You'll get nothing and like it!" gets said about once a week by me.
Summer of 1980 movies: Caddyshack, Airplane!, The Blues Brothers, The Shining, Friday the 13th. The year I graduated high school was so great.
The story i heard was that the story was actually a serious story line with Danny and the girl getting pregnant.
But they put Daingerfield, Murray, Chase, and the others and told them to just be them.
It quickly turned into a comedy.
"The richer the person, the cheaper they are." So true. I'm a magician, and there's a saying we have: The longer the driveway, the smaller the tip. Meaning the richer the client is, the less they want to tip (or even pay you). It's because they expect to get everything for nothing.
Lacey Underall was played by Cindy Morgan. She was also the girl, Yori, in the original Tron.
SIMONE & GEORGE: "Knight's speaking voice also brought him work as a voice artist for various animated series produced by Filmation and Hanna-Barbera, including Star Trek: The Animated Series, The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, The Batman/Superman Hour, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Fantastic Voyage, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Super Friends, and Lassie's Rescue Rangers.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
"His role as the vain and untalented WJM newscaster Ted Baxter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show brought Knight widespread recognition and his greatest success. He received six Emmy Award nominations for the role, winning the Emmy for 'Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Comedy' in 1973 and 1976." -Wikipedia
With all the jokes in this, the thing that always gets me is the fourth wall break by the Gopher.
The stars get the attention here, but Michael O’Keefe (Danny) is actually a very good actor. He was nominated for an academy award (“The Great Santini “) and went on to a pretty decent TV career - including very memorable appearances on all three Law and Order shows.
The gopher is the best part of the film. A true legend.
I even think it's the main character of the movie. Not Bill Murray, Chevy Chase or the Caddies.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. So much of the comedy is on the nose, but so much of it is also subtle and stuff you might not pick up on upon a first viewing. Great casting, a simple enough plot that allows each of the characters to do their thing without overshadowing each other, and the perfect amount of absurdity.
One of the most quoted films ever. First year in college mid 80's, my student apartments got 2 local channels in the semi rural town. We had a VCR player and 2 VHS tapes that we had playing all day everyday. The 2 films were Caddyshack and Apocalypse Now. We literally had the films memorized.
The music from the rainstorm scene is from the classic movie The Ten Commandments
One thing to remember is this was written as a teen coming of age film about Danny, But once the comedic talent on set got rolling They ditched most of the script and Focused more attention on Chevy Chase and Bill Murray.
The stuffed gopher was added at the last minute towards the end of the movie. That’s why you never see it in the same shot with Murray.
HEY EVERYBODY, WE'RE ALL GONNA GET LAID!!!
he just mixed a bunch of the open bottles together to make it look like a new one. and then did a little distraction while he pretended to open it. no drugging.
Definitely would recommend Back to School for more Rodney Dangerfield. It's very funny, and has a young Robert Downey Jr. in it.
"They forgot all about the explosions!"
To be fair, no one goes to golf for the explosions.
I saw a National Lampoon documentary and they covered the making of this (and their other) films and apparently the lead actors: Chase, Murray, Dangerfield, the guy who played Danny were all high on coke in almost every scene they're in. Ramis implied that's one of the main reasons the film was completed on time.
There was also a hurricane right on top of them during filming. Also bill Murray and Chevy hated each other and could barely be next to each other . Only one scene with 2 biggest stars together because of it
@@peterreist2882 Also; they improvised that entire scene!
Funny thing about this movie and the summer of 1980. In 1978 Animal House came out and was a big hit, and the guys behind that split up. Ramis did Caddyshack and Landis did Blues Brothers. Those were supposed to be the big comedy hits duking it out at the box office that summer. However, neither really took off at the theaters (both made it really big in the home market, though). Instead, a small production by some brothers who only had one small independent movie before came on the scene and nailed the summer market that year. That movie was Airplane! So if you want to get some context on the humor of 1980, consider that Caddyshack, The Blues Brothers, and Airplane! all came out at the same time.
2:39 simone, you will love The Nice Guys (2016)!
the scene when Bill Murray was hacking up the flowers was completely spontaneous.
"you'll get nothing and like it!" I've been using that line for 40 years and it still makes me laugh.
My mom used to tell us kids that "We take what we got and like it!".🤓
I use that line with my kids to this day. A great line!
There is a ton of backstory and behind the scenes written about this. When you get a chance, highly recommend you look into it. Some is very amusing.
Sports Illustrated used to do a “Where Are They Now?” issue and interviewed a lot of the writers/actors involved. The fact that managed to finish filming with all the background crap is an accomplishment.
The only time Rodney Dangerfield was not his usual self was Natural Born Killers, and he was terrifying.
My Dad just passed away a couple days ago and I was looking for something to make me laugh!! I love watching reaction videos and this was hilarious! It's always been one of my favorite movies - and Good Lord it be so offensive today to so many people! I still love it and thanks for the laugh break.
Any time there’s a piano in a friend’s house it’s either Imagine or Chevy Chase’s song that gets played lol
The music playing with Bill Murray and the priest golfing in the storm was from the famous film, the 10 Commandments.
The thumbnail 😂😂😂. A solid Simone "woo" also.
"Canonball" is an old term for taking a toke (weed), then a shot (any alcohol, but usually whiskey or tequila) while holding the smoke in.
I can't go to a mini golf place without saying "nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh.....fufufufufufufufu...."
Or "be the ball"
@@hollishamilton3943 It's allll in the hips....it's allll in the hips... (different movie, I know)
I'm 54 yrs old and I've seen this movie more times than I can remember. Quote it still.
I've heard the song in the opening scene, "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins a $hit ton of times.
It wasn't until a couple of months ago that i found out that Eddie Money sings back up on it. Especially the line, "You make feel good." I'm a huge EM fan too. That blew my mind. Now i hear it and it's so obvious!
Hopefully I blew some of your minds with this too. Ha!
Would love a couple of Rodney Dangerfield reactions: Back to School (VERY 80s comedy), and Natural Born Killers (definitely his darkest role, albeit a small part; crazy movie)
I had forgotten he was in NBK
"He's such a weirdo! He's so outrageous! Ted Knight is hilarious!"
My thoughts exactly Simone. I love how bizarre he is, and how angry he gets 🤣🤣🤣
"You'll get nothing and like it!" is one of my favorite lines ever.
In that pitch fork scene, the kid didn't know Murray was going to stick him with it. So that scared look was real.
The music during the Bishop's rainy golf game is originally from the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner. If you haven't seen it already, it's a 3 hour movie adaptation of the Book of Exodus. Not sure if that helps explain the scene any better, but there ya go.
If you do check out more Rodney Dangerfield, "Back To School" should be next. Not only is it probably his best movie, you get the added bonus of seeing a very young Robert Downey Jr.
I know Cindy Morgan (who played Lacy Underall) and her stories about what went on while making that movie are LEGENDARY!
...the cast and crew filmed in Florida, pretended that it was Illinois, and partied their way through a freaking HURRICANE!!!! Seriously, they partied through a hurricane.
And this was the first movie that Harold Ramis ever directed.
Love her in TRON, too. 😍😍😍😍😍
If you know golf, the Bill Murray / flower scene is even funnier because he's saying preposterously long distance shots for the club choices.
The pool was only open to caddy's for 15 minutes lol from 1 to 1:15
What, I just got the notification and there are already 20 comments. Gee the wi-fi in Australia is so slow 😀😀
@shasiiishi4281 oh ok, makes sense then. But the wifi in Australia is still slow anyways.
Mine is a minor voice, but I have a request... My favorite Bill Murray movie is "stripes" he co-stars with Harold Ramis and John Candy, with Warren Oates ("Dillinger"). I was a military brat and saw this for the first time when I was living on an Airbase in Germany in the late 80's. I never had a positive view of military life, except for the aspects highlighted in this movie - nor had I ever laughed so hard!!! Love this reaction, you guys are awesome!
OMG Simone as the Goffer was hilarious and had me laughing even before I clicked on play. I love this movie so much, one of the comedies my Dad and I would quote to each other allll the time.
I read that this was originally going to be a drama with Danny as the main character, then once these comedians were signed on they rewrote big chunks of it, which is why it's a little disjointed between comedy scenes and drama scenes.
Chase and Murray hated each other at time. Chase resented Murray replacing him on SNL.
Also that scene added as during filming, Ramis and producers realized story had no scened with the 2 of them together and they were banking on them to sell the movie.
* Chase resented Murray replacing him on SNL, and being much better.
I think there's a lot of misinformation about their relationship and what happened on SNL. It's my understanding, from multiple interviews, that it was John and Chevy that never really got along that well. John resented that Chevy was Lorne's favorite and had put him in so many sketches that 1st season as well as made him a Weekend Update anchor. As a result he got famous and some movie offers and left the show. When he came back to host in the 2nd season, Belushi riled up the the 'new guy' Bill against Chevy. It didn't help that Chevy was a bit full of himself at the time. Some words were exchanged between Chevy and Bill and a couple punches thrown. That was about it. By the time they did Caddyshack together, they had patched things up and really enjoyed working together in their scene.
@@TorgoLives yeah Belushi was the shit disturber, but murray and chase still had the berf between them. jb pumped up bn, but cc came back eith serious attitude, so by time filmed movie, they hated each other. i didnt mention jb as didnt want to give whole complicated backstory because the why and how they hated each other doesnt matter to point that they did at the time.
I love that you were giggling about how silly "the shack where the caddies hang out" is, when that's exactly what it means.
"You'll get nothing and like it" is the most-quoted line in my friend group.
While Rodney Dangerfield's comedy in this is indeed his style, he's generally far more self-deprecating. "I get no respect." Is his "tag line" so to speak.
Lots of improv in this movie. In the massage scene, Cindy Morgan's reactions are real. She didn't know what Chevy Chase was going to do.
4:20 another meme crossed off the list.
The great irony of Rodney Dangerfield is that his stand-up comedy was all about how he doesn't get respect. But his best movie roles (Caddyshack and Back to School) are where he plays a wealthy hotshot. You guys should watch Back to School.
But in both he’s a self made rich guy who never smoothed out the rough edges.
A theory I read about Caddyshack was that the gopher didn't actually exist. It was a figment Carl's imagination. /shrug
Nah, the judge saw it when he was pulling into the club and told Groundskeeper Willie about it.
15:36 Perrier mineral water is supposed to be fizzy, but that bottle has been open for a while.
The caddies were meant to be the focus of the film, but the plot was shit and the seasoned comedians stole every scene they were in, so the focus shifted.
Rodney Dangerfield’s was 90% him just doing his standup. But it was funny so they let him do whatever he wanted.
@@richardcoulson6027Yep and Ted Knight is hilarious in this film too.
I had heard that originally the story focused on the teens, but the older stars’ comedy was so good they reworked it.
It’s a dancing…prairie dog! Cheating wasn’t a big deal in the 80’s. I feel you haven’t been paying attention to the world today, lol.
I'm bad with faces. Was it the same girl that slept with Chevy Chase and the main caddy?
Yes.
If you rewatch the final scene of PSYCHO, when one guard delivers the blanket to the cell, the other guard holding the door open is Ted Knight.
RIP Harold Ramis, Rodney Dangerfield, and Ted Knight.
The only role where Dangerfiel deviated from his shtik is in Natural Born Killers and even there it's still him but with an evil allignment
Why did you block Lacy's cleavage?
RUclips regulations, blame them for making him do this.
Unfortunately YT guidelines are not the same fore very channel. we've gotten away with things that other channels get blocked for, while other channels have gotten away with things we werent allow to show. it goes as far back as our Harry Potter videos where the system couldnt differentiate between a movie about wizards and actual kids in danger so they marked the videos as "content containing child endangerment".
but essentially every video we put up, we test multiple versions to see how much we actually need to censor. we keep trying until we get a version that passes the test.
if given the chance we would censor nothing, since it also means less work and time on our part.
So much improv dialogue in this movie .... With the actor/comedian types in this epic movie. This film is probably this most quoted movie of all time.
There are stories in the golf world that Trump was Rodney Daingerfields character incarnate when looking to buy a golf course country club back in the day.
'Spalding Get Your Foot Off The Boat' is one of my favorite poems...
Ewan MacGregor, isn't it?
It just hurts my heart that George fixates so much on the Judge and completely ignores Rodney Dangerfield's and Chevy Chase's characters...and somehow takes away that all rich people are cheap. Not lawyers...not people who run country clubs...just all rich people. SMH
