I found this a couple of months ago on here and never properly thanked you for uploading it. This movie is kind of legend in my house. My grandpa actually was in it, just cast as an extra in certain scenes. But for years he always talked about his experience meeting John Ritter and how incredibly nice he was. My grandpa passed away yesterday. Thank you for giving our family this small link to his past. 💜
I have been searching for this movie for years! I LOVE Andy Griffith and I saw this once when I was a teen and have always wanted to see it again. Thank you for posting it! You are awesome!!!
Second or third time I've seen this. Great movie!! Andy Griffith is so good in this part, and he is loving every minute of playing the pycho grandpa. Fun movie if you love psychological thrillers. Their my favorite.
24:17 When your indoor cat gets out. This movie randomly sprung up in my mind and I RUclipsd it. I remember watching the the ending on NBC when I was Matthew's age lol.
OMG! Thank you so much for the upload to this. This movie is almost impossible to find! I had the DVD years ago, it got lost during a house flood with other things like albums, VHSs. This was a great movie! Andy Really stepped outside of the box with this one.
lol the crazy thing..i just watched a movie on here called "Under The Influence" in which Andy Griffith was a alcoholic..now here he says "I quit drinkin' a long time ago"..Lol im at the beginning of this...i'ma finish watching
When watching Andy Griffith in Mayberry i forget hes acting because it just seems so natural. With this movie i knew he was acting . I have a deep admiration and respect for both Andy Griffith and John Ritter. Great movie and story.
Andy plays a bad guy very believably. Watch him in "A Face in the Crowd", "Under the Influence" (with Keanu Reeves), and "Pray for the Wildcats" (with William Shatner [Star Trek] & Robert Reed [Brady Bunch]). All three will make your skin crawl, if you don't like seeing Andy behave badly.
I've got this image of Andy Creeping around Mayberry now, middle of the night, sneaking in Betty Lou's house, stealing her draws, planting things to start fights between her n Barney. Stealing cows, going in the bank vault through the back door, it's Never going to be the same watching Andy Griffith again. Lol.
@@maryh-w8647 I was partaking in a thing called "Sarcasm". That's something we used to do years ago. Something us older folks did to for laughs. Laughing is something we used to do also.
I almost bailed early, I couldn’t watch Matlock as a bad guy. I checked the comments and everyone said what an awesome movie it was so good I thought I should give it a chance. He can show pure evil with a glance. I couldn’t have imagined it.
I saw this film many years ago and I'm was surprised to see Andy Griffith as a villain he was really good. I also enjoyed John Ritter being a fan of the TV show Three's Company. R.I.P. to both of these talented men

@@Solutions3000 Oh my goodness you are so right !I saw the one with Kanu Reeves. Thank you for listing the other ones, I will be sure to look those up and watch them. Thank you also to the lovely individual that downloaded this movie. Awesome movie and impossible to find.

Hard movie thinking of Andy Griffith in this light. I just put aside old thoughts of him as an actor and put him as a new person. Once I got past that, it was a good movie. Our minds along with how time can change our memories does strange things. Sometimes for the better and sometimes otherwise. We don't really know all the problems he had when his family was first together. Knowing his mindset back then would have made the movie more interesting to me but overall I liked it. Thanks.
It is pretty weird to see Sheriff Taylor and Jack Tripper in these roles. I hadn't seen this movie since it was on television when I was little. I forgot how awesomely disturbing it is.
I never thought I would want to see an Andy Griffith character die... but alas.... I also had to Google and see if he played the bad guy in any other movies and he did.... several times actually....
His very first big role..."A Face in the Crowd" he morphed into a monster in that one. Surprised he was not typecast from that moment on! On the other hand, "No Time for Sergeants" was a gut buster comedy and was absolutely great for giggles!!
I love this movie but had to keep telling myself that it was impossible for Andy Griffith to be a bad guy. What a really great Actor. May he continue to R.I.P
I had no idea these 2 did a movie together 😲 Also, I find it funny they both worked with Don Knotts.😅🤣 lol. I know they were both good friends with him.
I had the privilege of seeing Andy Griffith and Linda Purl film an episode of Matlock at my college, the University of La Verne, in La Verne, California, back in the late 80's. The episode was titled "The Professor." The dean provided his office for Andy to use for the week they were there filming, and I watched Linda Purl film a couple of scenes for the episode.
My friend went to La Verne. I've never met anyone else who went there. Most people in Northern California haven't even heard of it. He loved going to school there. Except for the fact that, after he got accepted, everyone asked him if he was only going there because he couldn't get it to UC Shirley.
Well now. I didn’t see that coming. But once he revealed himself, I had his number. I don’t much like Andy Griffith playing a psycho, but damn is he good at it.

andy griffin was scary good in this movie john ritter good as the son who was truly deseaved by gramps snicky ways not knowing how evil gramps really is
I remember reading a long time ago that Andy Griffiths was not a nice man. I looked him up again and read the same thing. He was an accomplished actor either way.

Griffith’s performance is unbelievable
It was great! I ❤️ this one 👍. Thank you for sharing.
Andy did one with Johnny Cash called "Murder in Coweta County." He played the villain and it was based on a true story

This was an interesting role by Andy Griffith wow, crazy gramps...
Andy Griffith had some serious acting chops.

One of my clients got me hooked on Matlock. We love listening to him yell at the judge. Lol
I know! I couldn't believe it when John Ritter died. And Betty White, now Tina Turner..It feels like losing a big part of my childhood.
Thanks for uploading this. I have watched this movie a long time ago and only once. I have been wanting to see it again for so long!
Oh my '. Andy Griffith what a great actor WOW I phenomenal actor

My first time seeing this movie and this side of Andy Griffith'
These creatures never change.
Thanks 4 upload. Thought i saw mostly everthing Andy did. Missed out on this one when it aired way back when..
I always loved andy
Havent seencbefore such a bad grandpa. Good movie thanks
What a completely different role for Andy Griffith! He played the part of the bad guy very well.
He played a good part but I didn’t like it! Like the movie
Andy plays a bad guy very believably. Watch him in "A Face in the Crowd", "Under the Influence" (with Keanu Reeves), and "Pray for the Wildcats" (with William Shatner [Star Trek] & Robert Reed [Brady Bunch]). All three will make your skin crawl, if you don't like seeing Andy behave badly.
@@Solutions3000 Andy Griffith also played a bad guy in Spy Hard.

You have a very vivid imagination. Great scenarios. You ever consider writing ?

I only know Griffith as Ben Matlock - loved him there.
I almost bailed early, I couldn’t watch Matlock as a bad guy. I checked the comments and everyone said what an awesome movie it was so good I thought I should give it a chance. He can show pure evil with a glance. I couldn’t have imagined it.
He was one heck of a good dramatic actor...especially playing a villain! But loved him as Andy and Ben, too!!

shock at Andy Griffith playing a bad man
Who would have thunk it, Andy Griffith the BAD guy-no hot dogs, but still has the guitar!
No hot dogs LOL
In The Andy Griffith Show He Played a Very Nice Guy along with Barney.
Great acting by two of the best classic actors of all time!

I remember watching this on Decades a few years ago
What a great movie
Very interesting to see these two actors playing very different roles from that of their well-known sitcoms.
It is pretty weird to see Sheriff Taylor and Jack Tripper in these roles. I hadn't seen this movie since it was on television when I was little. I forgot how awesomely disturbing it is.
Yes, it is . They were super talented.
RIP JOHN AND ANDY.
RIP CASEY.
It's hilarious when he falls down the river. It's a doll with a white wig on.
I KNEW ON THAT WHEN I RECORDED THIS ON Cinemax, In 2001. I'm Thinking: "STUNT DUMMY!", (LMFAOL)! 😆
What did you expect, Andy Griffith to fall down the waterfall?!?! Lol.
@@Dion-rz3fz Tom Cruise would've done it
@@JoshOrtiz88 Hahahahaha! You might be right!
I never thought I would want to see an Andy Griffith character die... but alas.... I also had to Google and see if he played the bad guy in any other movies and he did.... several times actually....
Did you ever see him as the bad guy in Spy Hard?
His very first big role..."A Face in the Crowd" he morphed into a monster in that one. Surprised he was not typecast from that moment on! On the other hand, "No Time for Sergeants" was a gut buster comedy and was absolutely great for giggles!!
I Remember this Movie 🍿🍿 from the Early 1990s. It's a Shame Mr Griffith didn't have many Villains Roles.But still a Great Actor.
excellent👍
I love this movie but had to keep telling myself that it was impossible for Andy Griffith to be a bad guy. What a really great Actor. May he continue to R.I.P
R.I.P. Andy Griffith & John Ritter!
R.I.P. Casey Moses Wurzbach
I had no idea these 2 did a movie together 😲
Also, I find it funny they both worked with Don Knotts.😅🤣 lol. I know they were both good friends with him.
Well, a fit ending for an evil man.
I'd like to have his old Olds.
This came just about the time that Matlock left the network. Gramps died a terrible death going over into the roaring rapids.
Man, Griffith knew how to play a good villain. It's a shame he had so very few villain roles.
"Spy Hard"
@@JoshOrtiz88 I forgot about that one! Thanks!
murder in coweta county

Man Andy Griffith act like that was the only song he knew when he was alive, because he Played song that song so much no matter what show he played in
7:47..."Mortal Kombat II"
Well now. I didn’t see that coming. But once he revealed himself, I had his number. I don’t much like Andy Griffith playing a psycho, but damn is he good at it.
When he was good...
When Gramps showed up in uniform 😆😆😆😆 Thats right! I got me a new job 😆😆😆
There is another bad Andy movie called in here free,Under the Influence 1986.
Andy plays a bad guy very believably. Watch him in "A Face in the Crowd" and "Pray for the Wildcats" (with William Shatner [Star Trek] & Robert Reed [Brady Bunch]). Both will make your skin crawl, if you don't like seeing Andy behave badly.
Andy Griffith reminds me so much of my dad, I hate to see him play a bad guy.
Are there two Andy Griffiths?!.
He was wicked and evil until the very end, sadly...
Not sure if what Jack Tripper (John Ritter) to do with his father if his father is dark and sinister like Clarke's father, Jack in "Gramps"...?
😆 😆 😆, If barney was in this movie, with andy, he'll be telling him too, Nip it..Nipe it...Nipe it.
So strange to see Andy in such a evil role.
This was a funny movie.
Hope that John Ritter’s friend, Henry Winkler saw “Gramps”…?
It is the Grandfather from H***.
Great movie
Sadly the little boy who play Matthew passed away at the age 30 2017 in a curling accident.
Omg
He was so cute. He was the son of Liz Moses of 3-2-1 Contact from the 1980s.
I LOST MY GRANDPA WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OF AGE
andy griffin was scary good in this movie john ritter good as the son who was truly deseaved by gramps snicky ways not knowing how evil gramps really is
Gramps was just trying to do all he thought best - especially for young Matt.
I can relate...
😧
Uh....beating people up and ultimately killing someone, as well as arson....I hope you cannot and do not relate to that!!
Holy moly! Andy really was evil. I saw this all those years ago. Rest in peace, guys.
Jack was a monster! No doubt.
1:22:31 Clarke rescues Matthew, his son.
🎥🍿👏🏾 Acting is on point! Out of the norm, but convincing nonetheless...
