Tom Hanks has THE BEST freakouts!! This is my absolute favorite Tom Hanks movie. Such an underrated horror comedy. The casting is phenomenal. Even Corey feldman understood the assignment.
A real gem this one. And so quotable. It was really fun to see Bruce Derns goofier side. A great actor. What a cast here...amazing. A real childhood favorite.
One of my favorite lines from any movie: "I've never seen that. I've never seen somebody drive their garbage down to the street and beat the hell out of it with a stick. I've never seen that." LOL
The poodle is precious from silence of the lambs, she was also in pee wees big adventure. The actor you said looks like am off brand Doc brown is Bruce Dern and he is the father to Laura Dern who played Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park and her mother is Dianne ladd who is also a well known actress.
"He can't come out until he resembles the man that I married." "Carol, We don't have that kind of time." Fun Fact: Dana Olsen, the film's writer, cameos as a cop. Casting Notes Fact: Robert Picardo and Dick Miller both appeared in Matinee (1993), also directed by Joe Dante. Final Bow Fact: Final appearance of Gale Gordon in a motion picture. He would however make a couple credited television appearances in 1991 before passing away in 1995 at age 89. Location Location Fact: The street was shot on the Universal back lot. It has been used for many films and television shows, including Desperate Housewives (2004). Some of the buildings have changed over time, but Walter's (Gale Gordon) house is the only building on the lot that hasn't changed at all. Dog Wangler Fact: Walter's (Gale Gordon) toy poodle Queenie was played by the same dog that played Precious in The Silence Of The Lambs (1991). Michael Jackson's famed chimpanzee, Bubbles, was a frequent guest on the set. He was brought to set, and taken care of, by the animal wrangler that brought and handled the dogs on the set. What Script Facts: The film was shot in sequence and was filmed during the writer's strike of 1988. Although Dana Olsen, the writer, appeared in the film, he was prohibited from contributing anything to the script while on set. For this reason, Joe Dante encouraged the actors to improvise many scenes. One example was the moment when Rumsfield rips the Klopeks' wallpaper, an idea from Bruce Dern. Rick Ducommun ad-libbed many of his lines, including the "Satan is good, Satan is our pal" dialogue. Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher came up with the idea of playing along with Jeopardy! (1984) at home. Tom Hanks improvised the scene where he picks up the gurney and puts himself into the ambulance.
Good morning J and Blank ❤ Hope you're getting settled in OK Blank ❤ You guys should bring The Money Pit to the channel. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long are SO funny in that movie 😂
Volunteers, too. It's got Tom Hanks and John Candy. Plus, the little Asian guy from 16 Candles. It's funny, but not as many people have seen it for some reason.
Same, I forgot that opening. I would have done the same thing. I also started laughing when they called Corey a "meatball." Haven't seen that movie in years either.
I love how unhinged the Tom Hanks movies of the 1980s were. Every single one has a plot synopsis that sounds like somebody was throwing darts at a board and picking words from a list.
Tom... plays d&d... and goes crazy... at the twin towers 🤔 Yeah, I see what you mean. They're often just Tom going crazy for a random reason in a random setting 😅
Brother Theodore who plays Reuben Klopek was a 70's icon who would exhibit basically the same personality as in this movie while giving fire and brimstone religious sermons. A sort of black comedy thing.
Love this movie its like a small version of Ghostbusters in the Suburbs vibes. The personality and humor is hilarious. I made this an October tradition spooky vibes. Its perfect and fun. Art is historical.
Bless your heart ♥ I'm sick too so I feel your pain darlin😮I hope you feel better soon ❤❤I'm 45 and in line for a lung transplant and your videos help me more than you know ❤❤❤
I fell asleep watching TV as a kid, when I woke up I saw the last 5 minutes of this on HBO. I never saw it on there again somehow. Had nearly forgotten all about it until I stumbled across it playing free on RUclips 30 years later. It wasn't a fever dream. Lol
Joe Dante did a a lot of great movies (beside the Burbs). Gremlins 1 and 2. Piranha, The Howling, Innerspace, Matinee, and Explorers.. all cult classics.
Thank u so much for this reaction! My three favorite moments: "Why am I so invested?!" "Look at him. You know his uncles his brother". "That's a man?! I thought it was an ugly woman". 🤣😆😂
I wonder what happened to Rick Ducommun. He was in everything at one point, from doing standup to appearing in movies like Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October. Then, he just disappeared.
@@tbmkris Yeah, about ten years ago. But I can't find anything about what happened to him in the roughly 11 years between his last role and when he died.
can't believe you hadn't seen this. I'm your age and this is my favorite turn-your-brain-off comedy of all time. Watch it again, you'll start quoting it more and more
I watched this three times this past October, and laughed my ass off. This was hilarious, so was J's, " That's a dude? I thought it was an ugly woman! " 😂😂
One of my top favorite comedies of all-time; been hoping to catch this one live for about two years but can't make sense out of the upload schedule these days. One of the best things about this movie is the director let Hanks ad lib alot of stuff and ended up keeping almost all of it.
The tall older white man that helps close the ambulance door is Ron Howard's dad. For Seinfeld fans, he was also the blind old man that George traded his ladies glasses with
Omgsh ive bee WAITING for someone to react to this. Back when Tom Hanks only did comedies and Corey Feldman playing a bad a** as usual😄. When I first saw this it came on cable way back in 1990. A gem. THANK YOU!
This was one of my favorite movies (along with "Big Trouble In Little China") growing up. I had them both recorded on VHS and would watch them all the time. Great comedy! 👍
Now you need to look up the alternate ending for this movie, it has a great little speech by the doctor about the people who live in the suburbs. 41:13 Wise man say, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza. I think that you should also check out Canadian Bacon, it was the second to last film that John Candy was in before he died.
It’s weird finding out how many people don’t/didn’t know about it (though a lot do), because it seems like pretty much anyone who watches it ends up loving it. Sometimes “hidden gems” are actually sitting out in plain sight, but people just aren’t looking, I guess.
Can't wait to see this! I've been waiting on you to watch The Burbs for so long! It's been on so many polls but never won so very excited to see this!!!! :)
I LOVE this movie! One of my favorites. May I suggest a few more 'before Big' Tom Hanks greats: * Splash (1984) Darryl Hannah, John Candy * Bachelor Party (1984) Adrian Zmed, Tawny Kitaen * The Man With One Red Shoe (1985) * Volunteers (1985) John Candy, Rita Wilson * The Money Pit (1986) Shelly Long * Dragnet (1987) Dan Aykroyd
Hi J, get well soon. Where I grew up in the 80s, our street had a reputation that scared people from ever wanting live here, and the block had it's own reputation to the song Neighbourhood by Space and at the bottom end of the street again had a reputation for it's own reasons so if anyone moved into the street they moved away within a week all because of rumours, even though the neighbourhood wasn't as bad as it was made to sound it was enough to let people go out without locking the doors, although the flats definitely lived upto it's reputation the police could have practically set up a station there as they was always there
Road To Perdition is another very different Hanks classic where hes a gangster with Daniel Craig as his rival, Paul Newman as his sappy pappy in an amazing graphic novel adaptation.
This is one of the few movies my parents wouldn't let me watch when I was a kid. Looking back on it now, I don't think it was because of any of the content really, but because they didn't want me and my brother to start snooping on the neighbors and getting into their business. Lol
Tom Hanks loading himself in the ambulance is hilarous 😂
@@monicamaza5843 And it was completely ad libbed.
And so perfectly done. He was in that total mindset - "I am SOOOO sick of these people-!!!"
Tom Hanks has THE BEST freakouts!! This is my absolute favorite Tom Hanks movie. Such an underrated horror comedy. The casting is phenomenal. Even Corey feldman understood the assignment.
A real gem this one. And so quotable. It was really fun to see Bruce Derns goofier side. A great actor. What a cast here...amazing. A real childhood favorite.
Same!!!! 😁
The creepy red head is Courtney Gains AKA Malchi in the original Children of the Corn
A fun fact. Rumsfelds wife is the voice of Francine Smith in American Dad
Probably the inspiration for the look too 😍
Gimme some of that Franny fanny!
@@sonnieandjacob I love this movie and I’ve seen it a hundred times, but I never knew that!
One of my favorite lines from any movie: "I've never seen that. I've never seen somebody drive their garbage down to the street and beat the hell out of it with a stick. I've never seen that." LOL
The Money Pit is a must watch.
The poodle is precious from silence of the lambs, she was also in pee wees big adventure.
The actor you said looks like am off brand Doc brown is Bruce Dern and he is the father to Laura Dern who played Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park and her mother is Dianne ladd who is also a well known actress.
The poodle was also in Batman returns
Dianne Ladd in White Lightning
Carrie Fisher recognized Corey Feldman's struggles during filming, and tried to help him get into treatment and recovery.
She was definitely speaking from much experience on that.
“Why am I so invested in this?” LMAO!!!! 😂 thank you. That made me laugh.
"He can't come out until he resembles the man that I married."
"Carol, We don't have that kind of time."

Good morning J and Blank ❤ Hope you're getting settled in OK Blank ❤ You guys should bring The Money Pit to the channel. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long are SO funny in that movie 😂
Was thinking the same thing. He will die watching The Money Pit
Oh yeah! And has he done Turner and Hooch?..
Volunteers, too. It's got Tom Hanks and John Candy. Plus, the little Asian guy from 16 Candles. It's funny, but not as many people have seen it for some reason.
@marieclaudeb.2366 I think Turner And Hooch is one J would love, but check the channel because I feel like he already did a reaction to that movie..
@@marieclaudeb.2366definitely should do Turner and Hooch. I loved it.
I started laughing when Tom threw his coffee at the paperboy and didn't stop until the end 😅
Same, I forgot that opening. I would have done the same thing. I also started laughing when they called Corey a "meatball." Haven't seen that movie in years either.

Yeah, I see what you mean. They're often just Tom going crazy for a random reason in a random setting 😅
Bachelor Party has to be the craziest 80s Hanks flick next to this one 😂
Brother Theodore who plays Reuben Klopek was a 70's icon who would exhibit basically the same personality as in this movie while giving fire and brimstone religious sermons. A sort of black comedy thing.
He also voiced Gollum in the Rankin Bass version of The Hobbit.
This is honestly one of the most underrated 80's comedies! "BOUT A 5 ON THE TENSION SCALE THERE, RUBE"
9
@17:15 Tom Hanks later played Mister Rogers.
Classic! Please don't forget other classic Tom Hanks movies: Bachelor Party (1984) and The Money Pit (1986) - executive produced by Spielberg.
Don't forget "Joe vs the volcano"!
MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE... and a bicycle, picnic table and park-lake. Along with a dress. A dress? No no - THE Dress.
The crazy military neighbor is Bruce Dern. His daughter, Laura, was in Jurassic Park as Ellie and The Last Jedi as Holdo.
Hey just wanted to thank the patrons for supporting this guy and all the others you guys help out.
Henry Gibson who plays the Dr was also in Blues Brothers and classic comedian from laugh-In. RIP
I used to crack up as a kid watching this! Money Pit, Splash and Big are good early Tom Hanks movies too 😊
Love this movie its like a small version of Ghostbusters in the Suburbs vibes. The personality and humor is hilarious. I made this an October tradition spooky vibes. Its perfect and fun. Art is historical.
Bless your heart ♥ I'm sick too so I feel your pain darlin😮I hope you feel better soon ❤❤I'm 45 and in line for a lung transplant and your videos help me more than you know ❤❤❤
I pray you get your transplant asap 🙏🏽
i made my dad watch this and he thought 22:46 rumsfield peeling the wallpaper was the funnies ish he'd ever seen.
Underrated movie right here. This is one of my favorites
My husband's as well!
been waiting years for you to react to this movie
i was 12 when i saw this, I still remember it like it was yesterday
I fell asleep watching TV as a kid, when I woke up I saw the last 5 minutes of this on HBO. I never saw it on there again somehow. Had nearly forgotten all about it until I stumbled across it playing free on RUclips 30 years later. It wasn't a fever dream. Lol

I love that Tom Hanks runs like woody at the end of this too 🤣😂
Thank u so much for this reaction!
My three favorite moments:
"Why am I so invested?!"
"Look at him. You know his uncles his brother".
"That's a man?! I thought it was an ugly woman".
🤣😆😂
The Tom Hanks meltdown in end was funny then, and Now.! 😂
I haven't seen this since around 92 or so. Thanks for reminding me of thus one. Still good after all these years.
The older military neighbor is Bruce Dern, father of Laura Dern. blonde actress from Jurassic Park and October Sky, among other projects.
Third favorite film of all time, first favorite film score, and it’s not against the law to break cookies. 😊
this was one of my favorite movies as a kid its such an underrated gem with a terrific and talented cast and a great and funny story
There was someone from back to the future, it was Hans:Courtney Gaines! Scram McFly I'm cutting in, during George's dance with Lorain.
21:00 "There go the god damn Brownies!"
I’ll admit it. I’m not too proud to eat brownies that were dropped on the porch, 5 second rule or not.
I wonder what happened to Rick Ducommun. He was in everything at one point, from doing standup to appearing in movies like Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October. Then, he just disappeared.
The last thing I remember seeing him in was The Last Boyscout. It was a cameo role and he was killed quickly.
He passed away sometime ago I believe
He died in 2015.
@@tbmkris Yeah, about ten years ago. But I can't find anything about what happened to him in the roughly 11 years between his last role and when he died.
He was in Scary movie as Cindys Dad
I hope you feel better soon.
The burbs of a classic movie. I can’t imagine anybody not loving it.
Immediately jumped on this, The Burbs is a great movie, tho often underappreciated
I read Tom improvised throwing the gurney into the ambulance. Almost died of laughter the first time I saw that scene.!
Ever since finding out Dan Aykroyd was originally wanted for Rick Ducommun's part I can't unsee Dan when watching that character
You know you are watching a Joe Dante movie when Dick Miller shows up
22:55 I like how you always bring up the supposed smells of things 😅
Bout a 9 on the old tension scale Rube! 😂
I remember seeing this at the movies. I was 14 then. Classic 80s. Thanks for sharing. Much love and respect from Baltimore as always.
can't believe you hadn't seen this. I'm your age and this is my favorite turn-your-brain-off comedy of all time. Watch it again, you'll start quoting it more and more
My wife's grandfather loved going "Pizza dude!"
I watched this three times this past October, and laughed my ass off. This was hilarious, so was J's, " That's a dude? I thought it was an ugly woman! " 😂😂
“One of the Huns came out of the cave!”😂😂😂
One of my top favorite comedies of all-time; been hoping to catch this one live for about two years but can't make sense out of the upload schedule these days. One of the best things about this movie is the director let Hanks ad lib alot of stuff and ended up keeping almost all of it.
Absolute cult classic!! I toured this lot pre production while on vacation in California as a teen when got to walk on the Rumsfelds lawn!😂
The tall older white man that helps close the ambulance door is Ron Howard's dad. For Seinfeld fans, he was also the blind old man that George traded his ladies glasses with
Oh i can't wait. One of my favourite movies.
The original neighborhood watch, I seriously never get tired of The 'Burbs
Bruce Dern is best known for Silent Running (1972) but also other movies like Nebraska and Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight.
Dr Faucci is creepy in this
I saw this when I was little at a cousins house. They rented it thinking it was “The Birds”
Joe Dante, Alfred Hitchcock. It’s easy to get them mixed up.
Oh yay! This is one of my favorite movies. I grew up on this one, we watched it constantly on VHS in my household. It's a fun one!
If you can find them, there are some old clips of Brother Theodore on the Lettermen show that are classic.
God I love this movie so much, one of the most underrated movies.
Smells like they're cooking a goddamn cat over there
Dude, this flick scared the shit out of me as a kid for some reason.. Chainsaw through the wall rings a bell ; ).
absolutely a cult classic. good choice, this one. lets gooooooo
Also Rumsfields wife is the voice of Francine Smith from American dad
Watched Children of the Corn for the first time and noticed Hans.
Was he Maliki?
This is a family favorite. I grew up watching this a lot. I've always wanted to live on that street
MY TOP 5 RIGHT HERE! I am so happy you watched this
Omgsh ive bee WAITING for someone to react to this. Back when Tom Hanks only did comedies and Corey Feldman playing a bad a** as usual😄. When I first saw this it came on cable way back in 1990. A gem. THANK YOU!

What!? I've seen this movie more times than I am willing to admit and never even heard it had an alternate ending.
@@shaggyrumplenutz1610 It’s widely accessible on the internet, just look up The Burbs alternate ending.
I've watched this movie a thousand times and never noticed it was dog food that Art ate until you mentioned it
You spent nine months in the bush!!😂😂
This is one of my favorite movies. I will throw this on at any time I need good background.
One of my all time favorites. Enjoyed enjoying it with you.
Cheers!
"Who listens to their wife?"
😂😂😂
I really thought J would like that joke. Maybe he was triggered. 😂
One my favorites!!! Underrated....love these actors , see when younger!!!
I can't unhear it. Corey Feldman is the voice for Michaelangelo from TMNT!
Yess im glad your doing a nother tom hanks movie he is my favorite actor of all time
Criminally underrated movie IMO.

I’m not into horror films so I watch The Burbs every Halloween 🎃. I absolutely love this movie. Excellent reaction!

All the street and house was in à studio. It’s crazy how it look real 😊
Bruce Dern starred in Silent Running. Worth a watch.
Feel better man. I’ve had a horrible sinus infection all last week. Both sides finally cleared up just last night after going for a walk.
One of the best. Points for mentioning Louie the Lightning Bug. :)
I absolutely loved this movie when I was little, but the two old men were in multiple nightmares 😂
Queenie is also Precious from Silence of the Lambs ❤
3:41 Circus Of Power - War Machine 1988 Best Song Ever.🎸
I'm not sure how I saw this as a small child, but it terrified me for a long time 😅 I love watching you react!
“Girl, use The Force…” 😅😅😅
One of Tom Hanks best 3-4 films, along with Cast Away and A League of our Own.
I LOVE this movie! One of my favorites. May I suggest a few more 'before Big' Tom Hanks greats:
* Splash (1984) Darryl Hannah, John Candy
* Bachelor Party (1984) Adrian Zmed, Tawny Kitaen
* The Man With One Red Shoe (1985)
* Volunteers (1985) John Candy, Rita Wilson
* The Money Pit (1986) Shelly Long
* Dragnet (1987) Dan Aykroyd
