Good spot. There’s also a quick sound effect of him being dragged through the cactus patch just before he reappears. (Which is especially great when you realise the Foley artist had to deliberately add it into the movie.)

Wait, a guy named Jeff Westbrook later became an actual Simpsons writer. I wonder if that's just a weird coincidence or did they already know him years before hiring him.
@@tarvinneekomainitakaan they knew him. He went to Harvard & wrote on the Harvard Lampoon with many of the writers - notably Ken Keeler who drafted this episode - and later, after a career in computer science, he ended up going back to comedy by working on Futurama and, afterwards, The Simpsons.
@@nate9597 Interesting, thanks for answering my question. Apparently a lot of Simpsons writers (even some of the latecomers) were recruited from a small circle of Harvardians who already knew each other.
I'd really like to know what other ideas the writers had for scenes that Burns would rip off and save the day in. I could see him sinking into molten metal, thumbs up, like in Terminator 2 (only to be perfectly fine in the next scene). Or trying desperately to punch the air at the top of the steps in Rocky, but being too worn out to manage it after about 5 steps.
@Nick Pollard Probably he'd get worn out at the beginning of the steps and it'd be like Steven Seagal and switch to an obvious stunt double for even that basic action.
Or imagine him in Doc Brown's place on top of the Hill Valley Courthouse clock tower trying to connect the wire before the lightning strike and Marty arrives speeding down the road in the DeLorean, only for Mr. Burns to fall down immediately after the ledge crumbles apart or loses his grip on the clock tower end of the cable while trying to pick up the rest of the cable, either way he'd come falling down simply because he clearly doesn't have nearly the same amount of strength that 1955 Doc Brown had.
After all these years, I think I finally figured out the plot or story to Burns short film: He uses nuclear power to fuel a time traveling space ship and sets off into different time periods to provide aid in historic conflict zones.
Mr. Burns probably cast himself as Moses from the Ten Commandments, Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind (missing the point of it entirely), and Klaatu from The Day The Earth Stood Still.
Fun fact: The last two writers listed on those credits are Lowell Burns & Babaloo Smithers. Which is a reference to the writing duo behind Splash, Spies Like Us and City Slickers (among other 80s/90s comedies).
You see, what I really adore about the movie "A Burns for all seasons" is its natural and non-intrusive way of building sympathy towards the main character - Mr.Burns. Many similar movies focus just too much on the main hero, building some kind of god-like aura around him. This is not the case here. Yes, the viewer is hinted here and there about the importance of Mr.Burns for the plot, however in the end, the movie leaves it to the viewer to make his own judgement about Mr.Burns, showing all of his different facets. Leaving us with a very complex main character. Even after the ending, I was still not sure on how to judge Mr.Burns and I was not sure, what exact picture the movie gave us about him. One can really say: Boooourns! What a masterpiece.

Still no one voted for Burns' film for the obvious reasons. To them, it was viewed as purely ego driven and self-absorbed. Plus, it was Burns' writing everyone at the festival and later at the Academy Awards had a problem with because he plagiarized scenes from movies that were made. The first scene with Burns on a horse is from The Mexican. The next scene from ET: the Extra Terrestrial. The last obviously from Ben Hur.
I think it might be man from la mancha - the Simpsons episode was made somewhere in the early 90s so it had to be a movie that would have been part of pop culture back then.
If I was rich, I would commision a recreation of the Birth of Man painting changing Adam's face to mine, and god to Satan and it would dominate a whole wall 😊
And the writers do poke fun at themselves for doing it by having Bart watch The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones and remark “Uh-oh, I smell another cheesy cartoon crossover.” Which is immediately followed by Homer introducing Jay to Bart.
I think it works because the script was genuinely funny and would have stood on its own even without the crossover. A lot of crossovers are just a gimmick but this one wasn't.
Got to love how Bumblebee Man was booing when he was in the movie
According to many RUclips videos he wasn't the first.
Actually I think he was saying boo-urns
It’s possible Esteban Spielbergo was also booing but it’s less clear.
Maybe he liked the part he was in, but disliked everything else.
Maybe a bunch of his scenes were cut 😂
This is timeless. The water bottle, used in what is supposed to be 2,000 years ago, is still hilarious.
Drink up Judah Ben Hur
are you implying they didn't have bottles 😂😂
Definitely not PLASTIC water bottles @@dontspikemydrink9382
Nah the king of kings line is hilarious
@@jaykay7932 the heavenly light and chorus as he says "excellent" really brings it home. Then the "boo-urns" bit afterwards just makes it funnier.
Not as good sociopolitical commentary as Man Getting Hit By Football.
Give that man the 10,000!!!
This contest is over
This ISN'T America's Funniest Home Videos!!!
Mr. Burns' movie had egotism, but Football in the Groin had a football in the groin.
True. That one worked on so many levels!
I love that every scene is like the ending from other movies. The writers were at their prime here.
And the in-universe writers (likely just Burns and Smithers) were most definitely NOT
YOU TRULY ARE THE KING OF KINGS drinking out of a water bottle my god that was so smart to put that in genius writting
I'd watch it. And then afterwards I'd say "boo-urns".
Would that be before or after you recorded yourself getting hit by a football in the groin?
I never noticed before - when Burns is being dragged by the panicked horse, on the last pass there's a cactus stuck to his back.
Good spot. There’s also a quick sound effect of him being dragged through the cactus patch just before he reappears. (Which is especially great when you realise the Foley artist had to deliberately add it into the movie.)
Gotta wonder what happened on the other 19 takes
@@respectedgentleman4322Probably even more cacti stuck on him?
All these years and i never noticed that.

“Smithers, I think this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.” Or reviving Snow White with a kiss, and all seven dwarfs are Smithers.
Instead of yelling out, "Adrian!" he could have yelled out Smithers!!! LMAO.
After all these years, I think I finally figured out the plot or story to Burns short film: He uses nuclear power to fuel a time traveling space ship and sets off into different time periods to provide aid in historic conflict zones.
I would’ve watched this movie in its entirety!!
Mr. Burns probably cast himself as Moses from the Ten Commandments, Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind (missing the point of it entirely), and Klaatu from The Day The Earth Stood Still.
Willing to bet there was also a Chariots of Fire sequence with Burns heroically crawling across the finish line at 0.00001 mph for Olympic gold.
I love how they hired so many writers for scenes that were only 20 seconds long 🤣🤣
My guess is that a vast majority of the credited names are made up people for Burns to commit Hollywood Accounting
We're only seeing a montage of this epic.
Fun fact: The last two writers listed on those credits are Lowell Burns & Babaloo Smithers. Which is a reference to the writing duo behind Splash, Spies Like Us and City Slickers (among other 80s/90s comedies).
They predicted the modern AAA video game.
I was saying Boourns 😂😂😂😂😂

How much did Burns pay you to write that review?
@@irkhanbasc $1000 and an award ceremony
@@thisoldbelair Krusty said the film moved him...to a bigger house!
Señor Spielbergo should direct The Terminizor 😂
Love it how he says excellent as Jesus!
This is one minute thirty-two seconds but feels like a small film. It's just brilliant.
Even Bumblebee Man is booing🤣
Saying 'Boo-urns'*
Mr Burns embiggined this role with his cromulent performance.
To quote the Nostalgia Critic in his Moon Walker Review. “Hey, here’s some random cliches. We won’t bother to tie it together with a story. We just figure that’d slow things down.”
I love how when Burns enters the Ben-Hur scene, you just have to see the overbite to know it's him.
It’s hard to imagine a story that can fit all these scenes together in a coherent plot.
Anyone else want to see those other 19 takes?
Maybe in the Special Edition DVD.
'Es muy bueno!'
I was saying boo-urns
The Simpsons were golden back then.
No, they were yellow.
@@phil_cassidy Ha ha ha. 😂
@@phil_cassidy I got the joke.

I actually want to watch this movie
Are you saying "Boo" or "Boo-urns"?
0:10 I never miss a new film by Señor Spielbergo
Everyone's reaction when a vanity project is made
Never noticed the water bottle lol
Basically the premise for M.Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water.
I had no idea that Tommy Tune is a real guy.
Lowell Burns and Babaloo Smithers
It’s funny how the director boo at his own film
Senor Spielbergo!!
Still better than Michael Flatley's Blackbird
It could have been a classic like Citizen Kane or The Godfather.
I must know, who is Babaloo Smithers?
Waylon Smithers.
He's Waylon's non-union Cuban equivalent.
Still a better love story than Twilight
This is what Neil Breen does unironically.

I was saying Boo-Urns.
I randomly say "I was saying boo-urns" way too often in life
'Babaloo Smithers' in the credits
0:27 looks like Marge Simpson's twin sister over Burns' shoulder!

If that was the best take they got out of 20, I can't even imagine how bad the other 19 were 😂😂😂
We did 20 takes and that was the best one.
Which movie was the first clip a parody of?
The Mexican
@@doct0rnic Ehhhh...no, that movie came out long after this episode first aired.
I think it might be man from la mancha - the Simpsons episode was made somewhere in the early 90s so it had to be a movie that would have been part of pop culture back then.
I don't think it's a specific parody, it was just a scene that "Senor Spielbergo" would film.
Viva Zapata
Where’s Tommy Tune as Smithers? I’m very disappointed. Boo-urns!
Who voiced Heston here? Was it Castellaneta?
It was the late, great Phil Hartman.
