This is a new format I'm trying out. Please let me know your thoughts. Copyright is getting harder and harder to pass. Just something to consider. Thank you all for watching as always.
Looks good to me. I didn't even notice a change! :D Whatever you need to do to make your process easier and appeases RUclips. (they're really making it hard for the people making videos at every turn lately)
People criticizing the new format should understand it's an effort to get around copyright so he can keep bringing us great content. I loved this reaction James!
I love John Candy. It sucks so much that he died. He was so funny and played big hearted characters with such sincerity…and the stories about him as a person suggest he was a genuinely big hearted and welcoming guy in life too.
My family has been spending summers in Averill, VT, it's a very small town. Population 6 in the winter & 300 in summer mostly due to the cabins on the lake. This tradition started with my grandparents & when I was a ind we would go to the dump & watch the bears all the time.
Bart the Bear was in so many movies! He was a massive Kodiak bear that weighed 1,500 lbs and stood 9' 7.5" tall on his hind legs. He lived from 1977-2000. There is a 1997 movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin called "The Edge" that is a real thriller about a billionaire and photography crew whose plane crashed in the Alaskan wilderness and their journey to safety. After the original Bart the Bear passed away his trainer raised another called Bart the Bear 2 but they weren't related. The cinematography on the big screen was incredible. I highly recommend it!
John Candy is a Canadian icon. His last film was Wagon's West. Speaking of Fireflies I think you should check out the TV show Firefly. I know this is a movie reaction channel but it's only 14 episodes and there is a movie made after it was cancelled. I think you would enjoy the humour. Think western in space.
I grew up on this movie quite literally, I had it on dvd when I was a kid and my family would all sit down and watch it together and laugh, it’s even funnier because so many of the characters remind me of my family members from my childhood, Roman reminds me so much of my uncle. Times have changed and I’m much older now and all my family is basically gone now. It’s not really the same and I miss it, but this movie reminds me of the America and the generation I grew up in, the world was just such a different place than the world is now. I wanna go back to this era of America when family was so important.
This was such a fun film and yes I agree simplier times. I will say, taking a longer vacation where you unplug yourself from the world really does make a big difference. Hope you enjoyed the reaction.
Absolutely one of my favorite funny movies, so glad you finally got to see it! FYI, there was a small end-credits scene; not sure if you just didn't include it in the reaction or if you missed it entirely, but if you did, you should go back & check it out... pretty funny. FYI, didn't mind the new format at all, your laughs in this one were infectious -- keep enjoying all the great new films however you can!
I think you are the only person that has laughed as hard as I had woth this movie. That bear jumping on him makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe! This is such a great movie.
I saw this on TV as a kid and I absolutely loved it. I'm 42 yrs old now and I still love it. John candy and Dan aykroyd play off each other so well. That poor bear. Some of my favorite scenes in the movie are with the raccoons getting in the trash cans. I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. Also I'm liking the new format
I’ve always loved this one. I love John Candy RIP. Most people, if asked about good John Candy films, will recommend “Uncle Buck” or “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,” and they’re both fantastic 🤌🏼 but I’m going to recommend some lesser known classics for you… -Only the Lonely (underrated gem) -Who’s Harry Crumb? (Low brow slapstick shenanigans) -Armed and Dangerous (with his old pal Eugene Levy!) -Volunteers (with Tom Hanks!) -Summer Rental (another family vacation) I guarantee these are comedy gold. I enjoy your channel sir!
0:56 New Hampshire is the only state that has no enforceable laws requiring adults to wear seat belts in a vehicle. Georgia didn't make it a primary offense until September 2021
As a Canadian my favourite John Candy movies are : Uncle Buck, Cool Runnings, .Canadian Bacon. The Great Outdoors, Summer Rental and Brewster's Millions
13:00 I am reminded of video I once saw, of a polar bear that smelled some food inside a parked (unoccupied) car. It came up to the front passenger side, by the rear view mirror, put one paw on the roof above the door, and the other on the hood in front of the windshield. Then it used main force to push the car down once, twice, THREE times. On the third push, the shock absorbers gave out, every window shattered, and every door sprang open, along with the hood. Then the bear went inside and got the food.
The house/cabin from this film was actually moved to Universal Studios Hollywood, it's part of the backlot tour (which I've done twice). It sits right on edge of the lake with the bluescreen, and it's still used for filming sometimes (I saw it in an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine a few years ago).
The location is supposed to be Wisconsin, but the actual location is Bass Lake in California (in the Sierra Nevada mountains, on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park). The bar in the movie burned down a year later and had to be rebuilt. When I was around 9 or 10 we had a vacation to Bass Lake, and stayed at one of the cabins at the same location. It’s a beautiful place, even the movie doesn’t do it justice.
John Candy comedies that are must see are Armed & Dangerous ( buddy action comedy) and Who's Harry Crumb? ( private detective comedy). Only The Lonely is a romantic comedy he did. Not that funny but it also stars Hollywood legendary actress Maureen O'Hara. It's worth a look.
The place where they ate the big steak is in Armadillo TX and the fastest ever eaten was 4 minutes by a competitive eater. The challenge is steak, salad, shrimp cocktail, veggie and bread.

Was just coming in to say same!!!🤣🤣 Let’s face it… often times, watching the Jumbotron was easier to take than watching the game!!😆 Da’BEARS…. Bear down, Chicago Bears!!!
Continue to enjoy your reactions...but the new format is wasting a lot of screenspace so prefer the old way.. I watch on my phone, so now the movie itself is much smaller and more difficult to see.
"Good luck killing a bear with a shotgun" really James? you never heard of slugs??? Or an Alaskaan Bear Swatter? A pump action shotgun loaded with intermittent 00 buck Shells and slug loads.
@Awesome US Movies of course, but you said shotgun in the video. Where I grew up rarely was a shotgun loaded with birds hot. Plus you could only use shotguns for Whitetail deer in Ohio.
You need to wacth fried green tomatoes 🍅 I don't know if many people have seen it but if you've seen it then you know what I'm talking about it is an amazing movie
First time to your channel and,omg dude,your laugh is so ridiculous.u had me dying over here.have u ever seen worried you will stroke out or have an aneurism? Great great reaction to what is,i n my opjnion,the funniest john candy movie ever made

Do what you got to do brother, with you all the way
Nightmare on elm Street

Thanks appreciate that

A lovely man
Agree! Him and Chris Farley were gone too soon!
One of the funniest vacation gone wrong movies I've ever seen! Dan Ackroyd and John Candy are hilarious in this film.

Love it thanks for the story
I love this movie so much! My dad and I would watch this movie every time it was on tv.
I lost concentration when you said you didn't know who Freddy Kruger was 🤣🤣 but then I remembered your lack of enthusiasm for horror haha
Bear...Big Bear....Big Bear Chase....Big Bear Chase Me!!!!
Bart the Bear was in so many movies! He was a massive Kodiak bear that weighed 1,500 lbs and stood 9' 7.5" tall on his hind legs. He lived from 1977-2000.

A country boy reacting to city idiots and their antics in the real world outside their big glass bubble. I love it.
Glad you enjoyed
"The Old 96er" is the reference I use today when I see an unusually large steak.

Wagons east* very funny movie
Since I saw this in the theater, at least once a week, someone in my family quotes a line from this movie.
It's a classic!
This movie has had me laughing since it was released. Always happy to see someone else falling down laughing at an underrated movie. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
I’ve always loved this movie so much! Can’t even count the number of times I’ve seen it!
It was sooo funny!
The wonderfully talented John Candy was 38 years old when this movie was released.
He sadly passed five years later while filming Wagons East.
This movie and Uncle Buck are my two favorites
I grew up on this movie quite literally, I had it on dvd when I was a kid and my family would all sit down and watch it together and laugh, it’s even funnier because so many of the characters remind me of my family members from my childhood, Roman reminds me so much of my uncle.

Oh, that WAS Bart the Bear! He's got a resume that's longer than I am tall!
Really?
@@AwesomeUSMovies According to IMDB, he's been in 21 movies. I could've sworn he was in 'Without a Paddle" but, alas, that was Bart II.
RIP Bart!
Great movie! RIP John Candy and Bart the Bear. Cheers

I've been to the lake where this was filmed. Its very Pretty. The house was built just for the movie, and torn down after they finished shooting.
How unfortunate
The house/cabin from this film was actually moved to Universal Studios Hollywood, it's part of the backlot tour (which I've done twice). It sits right on edge of the lake with the bluescreen, and it's still used for filming sometimes (I saw it in an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine a few years ago).
@@prodestrian I stand corrected.
Another great comedy is 'yellowbeard', starring the guys from Monty Python, Cheech and Chong, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, very funny movie.
I feel like this is a spiritual entry into the Nation Lampoon Vacation movies...
I think I've only seen the Christmas one
John Candy and Dan were amazing in this :)
aww, puppy
this'll be good, great movie! Still have the vhs.
Roman is my favorite!!!
“I see….. trees” 😊
Na, I love John
Just FYI, after the end credits there's an extra scene with the raccoons for when you find yourself rewatching this one.
I probably will re-watch this movie it was just so funny.
Your reaction had me LMAO 😂 I'm so happy you enjoyed this classic 80s comedy!

It's so good
8:17 that's right when you're a family and you love each other you're never too old for hugs
100%
Big Bear chase me!😅🤣🤣😂
Big sandwich, okay!
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks, Buddy 👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
There's a giant Paul Bunyan statue in North Carolina along I-95. I think it's near this really cool rest stop called South of the Border.
I love this movie. I grew up watching this with my family. Not nearly enough people react to this movie. Thanks for reacting to this movie.
Hope you enjoyed it
And people forget to watch past the end credits for the last raccoon scene.
The place where they ate the big steak is in Armadillo TX and the fastest ever eaten was 4 minutes by a competitive eater. The challenge is steak, salad, shrimp cocktail, veggie and bread.
Oh wow!
it was 12 years...ihave loved this movie for years and years...check out summer rental with john...just gold
Added thanks
@@AwesomeUSMovies i also read that this movie was filmed in bc canada
you MUST search on youtube for "bear smashes door". then click on the 1st video. it's not long, but completely insane.
He wasn't in there long
@@AwesomeUSMovies no, but he sheer power is terrifying!
Yeah I see trees. 😂🤣😅
Love that line
You should watch Better Off Dead. Different kind of humor but great 80s movie.
Added
Better Off Dead and then One Crazy Summer. :-)
Please give Bowfinger a watch, with Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin. One of the funniest but underrated movies ever. A laugh a minute!
Hope you caught the after credits scene.
Great! If you watch the movie again, at the end of the credits there's a bonus scene 😉
Oh my god this is my favorite John Candy movie of all time.
Awesome!
Despite liking a lot of the early 2000 movies, especially Disney, but out of all the 80s films i have seen, this is one of my favorites.
oh man, loved this one
One of my all time favorites! Cracks me up every time!!
Anyone who’s been to Soldier Field on a Sun is familiar w ‘Big… Big Be… Big Bear!!!’🤣🤣
Always a great time watching a flick w you; Thank You Sir!

I absolutely love that line
freddy kruger was the guy in nightmare on elm street with the glove wit the knives on it
Oh got it, I've seen Halloween costumes I think
thats a Kodiac bear
Yeah I have been waiting for this. Great movie.
I saw this on the schedule and knew you'd enjoy it. Great reaction!
Thanks for watching
The audible gasp at not knowing Freddy Kruger 😳
I have lots to learn
Freddy Kruger is the villian in the Nightmare on Elm Street film series.
He knows.
Continue to enjoy your reactions...but the new format is wasting a lot of screenspace so prefer the old way.. I watch on my phone, so now the movie itself is much smaller and more difficult to see.
I get that, the larger format is causing copyright issues. This is just a test
You need to let it go through the credits. Cause there is more at the end.
The story he told his daughters was so much worse then what their Uncle Chet told them! 🤣😅😂😆
agreed
This is by far my favorite reaction video of yours keep up the good work
Wow, thanks!
"Good luck killing a bear with a shotgun" really James? you never heard of slugs???
Or an Alaskaan Bear Swatter? A pump action shotgun loaded with intermittent 00 buck Shells and slug loads.
Maybe but not with no bird shot
@Awesome US Movies of course, but you said shotgun in the video. Where I grew up rarely was a shotgun loaded with birds hot. Plus you could only use shotguns for Whitetail deer in Ohio.
You need to wacth fried green tomatoes 🍅 I don't know if many people have seen it but if you've seen it then you know what I'm talking about it is an amazing movie
Check out Summer Rental with John Candy!
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Hello puppy Bear!

I'll add both
I love this movie...the steak eating scene was always my favorite, I wanted to do that when I was young.
That is just too much meat. Like... WOW a lot
@@AwesomeUSMovies I know I thought I could handle it lol
If you ever do watch a series you should check out UK taskmaster, it's on RUclips. Or just on your own time it's a riot!
I've actually watched a ton of those. Love them
If you liked that film watch spies like us one of my favourite films
