Rumour has it that Paul wanted Jimi Hendrix to appear in the Magical mystery tour film. But it clashed with the Monterey pop festival which made Jimi a star.
Right? I can see why the general public didn't jive with it as a traditional film with traditional acting and editing, but for what it is, and especially for the time, i think it's fantastic. I love the bizarre choices and sort of "grungy" homespun quality of it. That's part of what makes this whole period of their career so fascinating to me: it feels homemade, low budget, and it just works for them imo
Even in this little silly scene, you can see who the best actors are. Ringo coming in first, John at a pretty close second, George gets third because he doesn't care enough to be awful at it, and Paul is dead last. (thank heavens because he's infuriatingly good at everything else)
Ringo has had a bit of an acting career himself. He and John are always the best in Beatles movies in my opinion. Idk if it’s just John’s charisma though
Ringo was pretty good. His role in the Magic Christian is great, very good film even if it wasn't critically acclaimed. I've read that either Richard Lester or Victor Spinetti said that George was a natural actor and it was a shame he wasn't in more films, but you wouldn't be able to tell given his minimal role here. Paul and John on the other hand... Lol brilliance in music doesn't always translate to brilliance on film i guess
Interesting - that 'The Who's "Magic Bus" was circulating as a demo (1966); was recorded - by 'The Pudding' (1967); 'The Beatles had a bus - based on a "Magical Mystery Tour" (1967), which pre-dated 'The Who's issue of their own "Magic Bus" (1968). (Oopsie!) ✨😄✨

*This "AdamBound" channel is one MARVELLOUS WONDER AND MIRACLE of a Beatle channel let me tell you !... And here is a question to the people in charge of the Beatles' releases in box sets, dvds, blue-rays, streamings and so forth : about this incredible, unbelievable, almost surreal bunch of Magical Mystery Tour outtakes of the magicians scene for instance, WHY ON EARTH didn't you guys release these as bonuses in that big 2012 Magical Mystery Tour DVD box set ???... Just why ???... And by the way, you can clearly see with these outtakes that if the Beatles had given it to a professional editor for editing purpose, the film could have been much better and would have probably been longer than 50 minutes !... Because they DID have enough material as one can see here to make that scene a way more complete and compelling scene than it actually is in their finished self-edited final product !... Kudos anyway dear Adam Bound for this magnificent archival work of yours, well done mate !*

There are russian words written on the blackboard I can see: БИЙТЛСЬ = BEATLES, ПАЛ МкКАРТНЙИ = PAUL McCARTNEY, ЖОН ЛЕНОН = JOHN LENNON, ГЕРГИ ХАРИСОН = GEORGE HARRISON, РИНГО СТАР = RINGO STARR.
John Surrey Mal Evans along with Neil Aspinall were with the FAB4 from the beginning. I didn't know that Evans died in 1976. Same year as my best friend in Chicago. I was 12.
True to the album and song, they just dash this out -tongue in cheek. It does reveal manic energy (especially John breaking into song @5:25). The floor reminds of a break/snack room at Abby Road. Either that or Westminster Abby.
I kinda wanted this whacky little snippet in the movie being a lot bigger element of the whole movie. Like maybe the Wizards were behind the tour, and how they intended it to be both magical & mysterious but it wasn't so much because they were really a bunch of bumbling amateurs who were drinking too much of their own potions/ brew. Reference: "Ringo Starr wraps a Christmas Present".. If done well it could have been quite an interesting and funny element, and a way The Beatles themselves could save face -"hey don't blame us, blame them wizards!
Maybe it was ment for Blue Jay Way, some creepy deleted scene (very unlikely) or just an easy way to get rid of the set. Only Paul and Ringo know for sure....
It's interesting how George Harrison is hardly in this British television special! Heck! Mal Evans is in this scene more than George Harrison! George looked the coolest as a Wizard! Like I've said many times before, if George Harrison isn't involved, it just isn't THE BEATLES!!!
@@Tom-hk6ub You know the old expression, "He was there but not there." This was another hair brained Paul McCartney idea! In retrospect, I believe George's classic "It's All Too Much" should have been released as a "B" Side to "All You Need Is Love" instead of the dreadful "Baby, You're A Rich Man" that contains an obnoxious McCartney chous. It would have been perfect for the "Summer Of Love." Instead, after being recorded in June,1967, it was shelved and not released until January 17, 1969 on the dreadful "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack which was another McCartney brainstorm! What the hell were The Beatles thinking?
@@raulmacias1311 Why do so many of you George stans hate Paul so damn much? Paul is the only reason your boy ever *became* a Beatle in the first place, and -- unlike John, who apparently gets a pass via the "OnlyGoodBeatleIsADeadBeatle" trope -- actually participated in the recording of George's songs on the later albums whilst John gaily fucked off to be with Yoko. And it was John, *not* the evil Paul, who famously if accurately observed that George did not get more time and space on the Beatles albums simply because "he just wasn't in our league."

Anyone expecting something like a normal movie needs to just forget it! Absolutely bizarre from start to finish and you will occasionally laugh out loud as you simply won't believe what you're seeing. The brilliant music speaks for itself but there is no plot and poor George often looks like a man who's had no choice but to be dragged into this nonsense because his mates are doing it. Not really counting this crazy movie but In my opinion, John should have done more acting in his career as I think he's the best one out of the four.
The greatest band in music history made the biggest piece of crap in cinematic history😂. As John once said, if Brian was still alive this never would have happened. Good job, Paul--Ed Wood would have been proud of you lol.
George Harrison, IS, The Beatles. He is the band. If you can be bothered to look. Hanging around with them egotistic bellends, apart from Ringo. Must have been hard. George and Dhani.❤
Well, their music is clearly of better quality than the Fab's adventures in film-land, although I have a soft spot for A Hard Day's Night: The Motion Picture. Spiceworld: The Motion Picture was better though.
Agreed. The album is pretty good but the film is dreadful. Paul's idea seemed a good one ie grab a camera and a bus, drive through the countryside and see what happens, unfortunately nothing did.

Monterey Festival was in June. MMT was filmed primarily in September.
Billy was amazed by Hendrix' renditon of Sgt Pepper's. A very satanic guitar-performance at the Saville.
George had the easiest dialogue... only one word 😂🤣😆
2 words actually - “A song” lol
@@MeeMee-gz5vp This song's just six words long!
He actually only speaks four words throughout the entire movie. "Thank you" and "a song".

I like George saying: a song and Paul saying: and they're having a lovelly time
How paul tries to say it in a posh accent... it makes me laugh so much!!
John and Ringo are so good in these scenes.
Both had natural acting abilities-"How I Won the War","Magic Christian" etc.

Is Ringo wearing that pink shirt from Get Back here? You can see the collar pulled-up past his wizard’s robe mid-way thru this. Same shirt!
Looks like it. One of the 1966 US tour shirts!
He can also be seen wearing it on the Penny Lane picture sleeve.
You have to take MMT for what it is. Wish I could have been there. You know they had fun.

i bought this when it was on VHS ... i watched it ONCE - and threw it away ... THE GARBAGE CAN THREW IT BACK AT ME !!
Just shows that acting isn't as easy at Hollywood makes it look. This has the acting sophistication of a grade school play.
Actually if you watch some of ringos movies he really isnt a bad actor.
The acting doesn't matter, the occult agenda of the film does
I’m I supposed to be tripping on acid to understand wtf is going on in this?
