John Candy was a special kind of person & comedian. As soon as you saw him, you just knew you were gonna have a good time. Rest easy big man & thanks for all the laughs.
@Bruce Cumming i Feel He Explained it Best in Planes, train's and Automobiles "Im The REAL Deal, What You See Is What you Get". That Line Always chokes me up 😔
We lost a great artist, and he seemed like a very likeable guy. His roles in Cool Runnings, Only The Lonely, Delirious, Rookie Of The Year, even his despicable corrupt lawyer Dean Andrews in JFK, he was so good. Dead at just 43.
One of my favorite parts was him walking in the school smoking a cigar and finally realising he's smoking a cigar in an elementary school. Brilliant scene
I had an almost identical scene. Few days ago I walked into a gas station smoking my cigar till I realized I still had it in my hand and was about to take another drag off of it.
@Vlad Drac a quarter for the bus down town but now all I can see is a dirty guy with a organ grinder with a rat chained to it with a sign that says wart removal 25¢
PT&A is good, too bad Egotistical s. martin is in it. He ruins everything he's in. Cases in point: Father of the Bride ( sorry Spencer Tracy ), and Waiting for Godot. How anyone could ruin that masterpiece WITH Samuel Beckett directing is beyond me, but martin & williams managed to do it!! John Candy, however, brought life and pathos to everything he was in.
It's so amazing that you have done this Uncle Buck episode. I was just watching it here in the UK this weekend and it's one of favourite films too. John Candy was brilliant and is a total legend. The film is awesome and I really enjoyed watching this episode about it. All the best!
John Candy was my families next door neighbor in Queensville Ontario back in the 1980s. He was a generous and truly funny Canadian. He loaned my parents a Chevrolet Suburban one summer for two weeks while my parents had company over from Europe so they could travel around in comfort. He purchased 5 acres of land off my father back then also. Our last name happens to be Buck. RIP John.
I loved this film as a kid and I rewatched it on a Delta Airlines flight from London Heathrow to New York a couple of weeks ago, so now I have even fonder memories for it!
Never really paid attention to the directors but thanks to this episode I now know one director pretty much created most of my favorite comedies from that time period. Thanks Minty.
John candy was a one of a kind. Their have been copy's of him through out the years but no way you can replace him. He will be missed always. No one else could have done those roles. Rip john.
Uncle Buck is one of those movies that you can relate to... seems everybody has that weird uncle or inlaw that's sort of the "black sheep of the family" that doesn't quite fit in, who's not refined enough or good enough for certain hoity-toity members of the family, etc, the way Buck wasn't good enough for his acerbic brother or his snobbish sister in law... but yet he cares for his nieces and nephew and forges a connection with them, stands up for them and defends them, even helps them to feel better about themselves and about life, while their parents are too busy with their careers or their own interests to be bothered mentoring and looking out for their own kids interests... it's the cornerstone of the movie. Tia is rebelling because she's basically estranged from her mother and desperately seeking attention, approval, and affection, and like many teen girls goes looking for it in ways that are detrimental to her life long happiness. Miles was picked on by his peers and didn't fit in well- and his mom's disconnect in hiring a clown for his birthday party, which only a few kids bothered to attend and even commented on how "clowns are so boring they make me puke" at which Miles visibly cringes because he KNOWS word will get out at school how "lame" his birthday party was and he'll have that to live down too. Several scenes were cut from the movie where the weird lunches that Buck packed for him actually made him more popular as kids would gather around to see what he had for lunch that day- this was reduced to a single throwaway scene in the movie with Miles looking to "trade" food with other kids who all back off screaming, but originally it was written to be an ongoing thing that actually helped Miles fit in better. Maizy of course was picked on by her teacher and the school principal he had the famous "Moley Russel's Wart" meeting with, and Buck defends Maizy and throws a quarter on her desk and tells her to go downtown and "have a rat gnaw that thing off your face". Telling off the officious school principal and putting her in her place, something which her obsequious parents were loath to do. Buck even eventually gets even with Bug after he uses and throws away Tia, and lets her get a little revenge on him for his using and abusing her feelings, and helps her come to terms with her own feelings and what happened. In the end, the kids transform Buck as well, as he had been ducking going to work at a "regular job" for his girlfriend Chenice at her tire store, because he prefers the unstructured, unattached, irresponsible "batchelors life" of money making schemes and freewheeling freedom to which he's become accustomed. He finally realizes that it's time to settle down, and take some responsibility and move his life into a more structured phase, which is where the movie leaves off-- he and Chenise reconcile and Buck is going to work in her tire store, and they're talking about marriage and kids after having a very protracted engagement. That's why the movie is such a classic and had stood the test of time. Personally I think it's John Candy's finest film. Later! OL J R :)
John Hughes was supreme in the art of pulling cute 80's movies together wasn't he? From the use of great talent, cute locations and witty satirical scripts - he created a kind of cinema magic!
My impression was that little McCaulley's fast lines we're fine with Uncle John holding a pallet with the lines, not necessarily on his head. The camera was on him exclusively during the little guy's lines, which might mean that he looked at the camera and read the lines off a paper Candy was holding for him. They could then edit the scene afterwards to make their lines into a dialogue. What a great guy!
Brilliant mate. Minty, it's the first time I've seen one of your reviews, but you're on my wavelength pal. Wish I had the time to do the same stuff here in the UK.
Do "The Great Outdoors" In my home, its tradition to watch "the movie where the bear gets shot in the butt" on the night of the last day of school for summer
One of the first movies I remember seeing in a theater as a kid. At the good old Ohio Valley Mall. Now I live in the Sierra Nevada not far from where it was filmed.
Nice movie. Great Performance by late John candy. I think no one other than John Candy would have done uncle buck's character well. Really miss John Candy, one of the best comedian from 80s & 90s. R.I.P John Candy.
John Candy is considered a national treasure in Canada. The man represents what to me a Canadian is. It is in today’s times where I wish we had more John Candy movies.
I remember this movie being one of those ones that was funny, had John Candy in it but I didn't see it that often and it was right on the edge of what my parents considered appropriate or not. I ended up seeing The Great Outdoors more.
This, the Great Outdoors, Who's Harry Crumb, and Plains Trains and Automobiles are such awesome films especially the last one I mentioned which makes me laugh my balls off but also deeply touches my heart.
I loved it when John slammed the door open holding the power drill. I honestly think it’s sacrilege to make a tv show out of a John Hughs film. I looked up the Uncle Bun and it’s mainly spoken in Malayalam, one of the languages gauges spoken in India. One John Candy film I would love to see is Only the Lonely.
The McCalister's in Home Alone do have a dog. There's a scene at the beginning of the movie when Kate says "No, we're not taking the dog." so they had a reason for a pet door.
It's a pity, that Uncle Buck wasn't shown uncut in Germany. The scene with the huge pancake or the birthday, wasn't known by me from the film. I liked that movie for different reasons and thanks Minty to give so many interesting facts about it.
I'm a fat man from chicago too. I feel like comedy comes natural to us. Granted in real life he wasn't from Chicago but have you ever met a fat guy from Chicago that wasn't funny? Belushi comes to mind. We can walk in a room and obnoxiously just steal the show.
Can’t last with that accent but big ups great flick to highlight i was watching Delirious earlier today actually. The 90s kid in me needs some J Candy every few months.
I never understood that scene of miles looking through the mail slot and suddenly three guys are looking back at him. I didn’t know it was supposed to be his imagination lol
i loved this film as s kid in the 90s and early millennium. Mike epps was uncle buck in a tv reboot.. haven't heard ANYTHING since it came out. it got cancelled, didnt it? posted my comment 3 minutes into the video. thanks minty for answering!
In regards to the doggy door in Home Alone, in the beginning of the movie while everyone is packing and Kevin’s mom is on the phone, you can hear her say that the dropped the dog off at the kennel.
Imagine Jack Nicholson, Chevy Chase and Robin Williams played as Uncle Buck it would've been weird and creepy to see Jack as Buck but Robin and Chevy would be great for the part but John Candy was terrific.
Holy shit I had no idea it was supposed to take place in St. Louis. I live in Illinois about ten miles from downtown st Louis. That would have been awesome!
Just saw this movie for the first time months ago. Very cute. John candy movies r so good. Love many of them. I was in HS when I found out he died. It was so sad. One of my other john candy favorite movie is summer rental. Can you do that one minty?
Regarding mixed reactions - I think that Uncle Buck was badly edited. A lot of stuff that could help deepen the relationships with the kids was cut out, therefore the message of the movie is ... pretty flat. Ask yourself what was Uncle Buck about.
I know John Candy killed it as Uncle Buck but just a side thought, I feel like if this movie came out in the 90's Jim Carrey would have probably been a runner up lol. I can kinda see that.
Buck literally dropped everything and moved to the suburbs to take care of his brother’s kids, despite not being close to them. He didn’t deserve being treated like garbage by his sister in law.
I always wondered why the in-laws treated him so badly. I think it's because of class. Buck is poor and is living in a rundown apartment, while the in-laws have a nice house in the suburbs. Maybe that's one of the reasons why the teenager is so difficult.
@@Setharino009 He was the black sheep of the family, living selfishly with no responsibilities and with many vices. He even explains it in the movie. That's not the kind of influence an average family-oriented parent wants with their kids. His character is sympathetic because he finally grows up in the course of the movie.
He was initially dangerously irresponsible, often drunk, smoked constantly, and had a temper. That was how we were introduced to him. Who in the blazing hell would prefer someone like that to take care of their kids? Good intentions is not at all enough to care for children. The movie of course shows how he could stand up when necessary, but the in laws could not possibly have predicted the future.
My older brother is a living "Uncle Buck". A little rough around the edges, always broke, but he would literally give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I love this movie.
Some people didn't win all of the cash and prizes in life but got one great gift as consolation, which is a huge heart. I can feel Buck's character and style personally.
Loved John Candy's work back in the day. A true Legend of his craft. I forever still to this day miss you John Candy. R-I-P John Candy. PS to finish off Uncle Buck is my favorite movie of his and it tells us all about the hardships of life on how a man can be rejected by society and no one wants to know him however when he helps people out that's when their opinions of him changes and in turn gains a sense of respect towards Buck. The very beginning he was a loser but near the end he won everyone else's hearts and became a winner. Uncle Buck to me is the movie adaptation of the expression "Never judge a book by it's cover."
He showed that just like everyone else he wasn't perfect but he loved his niece and nephew and his family and even though they basically treated him like an outcast he went in when they most needed him and proved he was a good person.
Pooter-the-Clown: I don't have to take this shit from you. You know who I am? In the field of local-live-home entertainment, I'm a god! Buck: Get back in your mouse, and get out of here. 😂😂
The drunk clown was pure gold; the way he struggled up the sidewalk and could barely ring the doorbell because his hands were shaking so bad... lose my shit every time I watch that.
i would have never believed that the clown was played by who he was played by. Seen that guy in 1000 roles and just never even guessed. though i knew i knew that voice.
John Candy was a special kind of person & comedian.
As soon as you saw him, you just knew you were gonna have a good time.
Rest easy big man & thanks for all the laughs.
There will never be another man like him
@Bruce Cumming i Feel He Explained it Best in Planes, train's and Automobiles "Im The REAL Deal, What You See Is What you Get". That Line Always chokes me up 😔
We lost a great artist, and he seemed like a very likeable guy. His roles in Cool Runnings, Only The Lonely, Delirious, Rookie Of The Year, even his despicable corrupt lawyer Dean Andrews in JFK, he was so good. Dead at just 43.
John Candy was a class-act, he always found a way to make you feel good about his presence on-screen.
Yes, he was a VERY good man!
One of my favorite parts was him walking in the school smoking a cigar and finally realising he's smoking a cigar in an elementary school. Brilliant scene
He goes to the boys restroom an had to kneel to use the urinal.
I had an almost identical scene. Few days ago I walked into a gas station smoking my cigar till I realized I still had it in my hand and was about to take another drag off of it.
I really miss John Candy. Over 25 years later. This was one of his best, if not his best role ever.
25yrs
..Man does Time Fly .i was a kid
Take this quarter, go down town and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.
One of the best lines in any movie 😂😂
@Vlad Drac a quarter for the bus down town but now all I can see is a dirty guy with a organ grinder with a rat chained to it with a sign that says wart removal 25¢
Best line EVER! lmao!
Classic!
[assistant principal Hoargarth] (meekly): next ... ?
My all time favorite John Candy movie, the close second, Planes Trains and Automobiles.
Mines Summer Rental. Very underrated if you ask me. Rip Torn is awesome on it as a pirate as well.
My other favorite is cool runnings
See Armed & Dangerous. It's like a 90min SCTV skit. A lot like Who's Harry Crumb or Delirious imdb.com ...
PT&A is good, too bad Egotistical s. martin is in it. He ruins everything he's in. Cases in point: Father of the Bride ( sorry Spencer Tracy ), and Waiting for Godot. How anyone could ruin that masterpiece WITH Samuel Beckett directing is beyond me, but martin & williams managed to do it!! John Candy, however, brought life and pathos to everything he was in.
Christmas Movie Classics! 💯
"Buck melanoma, moley Russell's wart". I watch this move just for the vice principal scene.
Take this quarter. Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's my favourite part too!
@@katieandkevinsears7724 😁
Here is a quarter, Now go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off 😆
That line stills make me smile
One of my favourite films of all time - perfect in so many ways.
What a loss John Candy and John Hughes were
Buck melanoma, moley Russell's wort. Lol that scene kills me every time
Hilarious! Yes it does and I've seen this movie a LOT!
This movie is some of John Candys funniest work, he was just was so fun to watch along with John Belushi. Very much missed
Minty! Just in time for breakfast. Thanks bud.. RIP John Candy... a true Comedic Genius.... & Legend
It's so amazing that you have done this Uncle Buck episode. I was just watching it here in the UK this weekend and it's one of favourite films too. John Candy was brilliant and is a total legend. The film is awesome and I really enjoyed watching this episode about it. All the best!
I met John Candy when I was 12 and he really was a big lug. The friendly giant! He autographed everything for everyone that came up to him. RIP John!
Lucky
one of my favorite family comedy movies of all time, just watched it the other day!! R.i.p John Candy & John Hughes😞😞
John Candy was my families next door neighbor in Queensville Ontario back in the 1980s. He was a generous and truly funny Canadian. He loaned my parents a Chevrolet Suburban one summer for two weeks while my parents had company over from Europe so they could travel around in comfort.

Minty your a legend....uncle Buck was on TV this past saturday in the UK, of course i watched it!
I absolutely love this movie, one of my favorites for sure, R.I.P. John Candy. :'(
You have a fear of clowns. Then Killer Clowns from Outer Space wouldn't be your kind of movie
I loved this film as a kid and I rewatched it on a Delta Airlines flight from London Heathrow to New York a couple of weeks ago, so now I have even fonder memories for it!
Never really paid attention to the directors but thanks to this episode I now know one director pretty much created most of my favorite comedies from that time period. Thanks Minty.

Good job Minty, as usual.
RIP John candy a comedic legend
“Buck Melanoma! Moley Russell’s Wart”
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
People don’t appreciate this movie nearly enough....so funny and quotable
Still one of my favroutes to this day. I miss john candy a lot.
Do "The Great Outdoors"
In my home, its tradition to watch "the movie where the bear gets shot in the butt" on the night of the last day of school for summer
I think of it more as "The movie with the giant steak," but then, I also think of THIS one as "the movie with the huge pancakes."
One of the first movies I remember seeing in a theater as a kid. At the good old Ohio Valley Mall. Now I live in the Sierra Nevada not far from where it was filmed.
He Just did the Great Outdoors last week or 2 ago.
@@bansheemania1692 I know! This was the previous episode on Uncle Buck, therefore he did Great Outdoors after my comment. So cool!
Nice movie. Great Performance by late John candy. I think no one other than John Candy would have done uncle buck's character well. Really miss John Candy, one of the best comedian from 80s & 90s. R.I.P John Candy.
I love the clapper scene when John Candy is waking up and turning on his lights next to Wrigley Field
John Candy is considered a national treasure in Canada. The man represents what to me a Canadian is. It is in today’s times where I wish we had more John Candy movies.
John Candy made this movie. Couldn't imagine anyone else playing the part. The sad part is movies like this with such great actors are gone forever.
Loved this movie as a kid. Plus, I live in Chicago. Still love this movie! Thanks minty!!!!!
When Uncle Buck punched out the clown. That was the funniest thing on film I had ever seen!!! It was a real TKO!!!!!!👀😆😆😆😆☺️☺️
It sure is a feel good movie, Minty 👌
RIP John Candy and John Hughes
John Hughes used the line "four flushing" in Uncle Buck and Home Alone.
This movie is beyond 'priceless!' Great casting all the way around!
I dont' cry very often but when John Candy died I did. Comedic talent
John Candy! From Stripes to Planes, Trains & Automobiles to Uncle Buck. You were a legend!
One of my favourite movies of all time - good job Minty
MR.Jonh Candy.simplemente irreplaceable ,💜💜❤️❤️💜💜❤️❤️
The 3kg of butter in that scene is more impressive than the pancakes 😂
😁😁😁 I can't help but break into a smile when I see John candy 😁😁😁
I remember this movie being one of those ones that was funny, had John Candy in it but I didn't see it that often and it was right on the edge of what my parents considered appropriate or not. I ended up seeing The Great Outdoors more.
How about 10 things you didn't know about "As good as it gets". Love your videos Minty!
This, the Great Outdoors, Who's Harry Crumb, and Plains Trains and Automobiles are such awesome films especially the last one I mentioned which makes me laugh my balls off but also deeply touches my heart.
RIP John Candy and John Hughes. Fantastic movie.
I loved it when John slammed the door open holding the power drill. I honestly think it’s sacrilege to make a tv show out of a John Hughs film. I looked up the Uncle Bun and it’s mainly spoken in Malayalam, one of the languages gauges spoken in India.
One John Candy film I would love to see is Only the Lonely.
The McCalister's in Home Alone do have a dog. There's a scene at the beginning of the movie when Kate says "No, we're not taking the dog." so they had a reason for a pet door.
Love the accent, Minty. I could listen to you all day
I wish I could time travel to stop John from getting a heart attack so we can still see him in all his national glory today
It's a pity, that Uncle Buck wasn't shown uncut in Germany. The scene with the huge pancake or the birthday, wasn't known by me from the film.
I liked that movie for different reasons and thanks Minty to give so many interesting facts about it.
Dear Minty, Please do a review on
10 things you didn't know about
"The cook, the thief, his wife & her lover."
Best film ever, thanks for top 10 Minty. Bit of a sinister font choice though. 🤨.... 1:43
the movie is gold from start to finish
I'm a fat man from chicago too. I feel like comedy comes natural to us. Granted in real life he wasn't from Chicago but have you ever met a fat guy from Chicago that wasn't funny? Belushi comes to mind. We can walk in a room and obnoxiously just steal the show.
this movie was so much fun. My kids and I loved it.
I always remember the bit with the head teacher's wart 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t last with that accent but big ups great flick to highlight i was watching Delirious earlier today actually. The 90s kid in me needs some J Candy every few months.
I never understood that scene of miles looking through the mail slot and suddenly three guys are looking back at him. I didn’t know it was supposed to be his imagination lol
John Candy was always meant to play Uncle Buck... fate just had to get rid of a few obstacles
One of my favorite movies!
i loved this film as s kid in the 90s and early millennium.
Mike epps was uncle buck in a tv reboot..
haven't heard ANYTHING since it came out. it got cancelled, didnt it?
posted my comment 3 minutes into the video. thanks minty for answering!
In regards to the doggy door in Home Alone, in the beginning of the movie while everyone is packing and Kevin’s mom is on the phone, you can hear her say that the dropped the dog off at the kennel.
I thought the same thing about the theatrical poster, it makes it out as if Uncle Buck is going to make their life living hell.
Mike Star was in an episode of 'The Office'
Love this channel keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼
Candy is missed.
Stripes
Second City television
Vacation
Unappreciated talent
Imagine Jack Nicholson, Chevy Chase and Robin Williams played as Uncle Buck it would've been weird and creepy to see Jack as Buck but Robin and Chevy would be great for the part but John Candy was terrific.
Yes one of my top 10 films of all time, Candy at his greatest
Holy shit I had no idea it was supposed to take place in St. Louis. I live in Illinois about ten miles from downtown st Louis. That would have been awesome!
This movie is a favorite for me and my mom ❤
The sunglasses LOLOLOL
I always wanted that big of pancake for my birthday.
I thought you were going to use wild thang by tone loc as background music
Let's put John Candy & Uncle Buck on 4K Blu Ray!!
The expression is "all things considered", not "all things considering". Bret Boyle - Grammar Police
I loved John Candy. .
Just saw this movie for the first time months ago. Very cute. John candy movies r so good. Love many of them. I was in HS when I found out he died. It was so sad. One of my other john candy favorite movie is summer rental. Can you do that one minty?
In Home Alone 2 Culkin recreated the mail slot scene.
I immediately Told My Dad at the School Scene...
DAD! Thats THE FUNKY COLD MADINA! I Know That Song...
Mom Wasn't Happ to Say the Least...
still can't believe they made a TV show without John candy not the same
1) Why is this queen wearing sunglasses inside? 2) Where is the comedic part?
Thank you for another great video
His second best movie. The first was the Great Outdoors. Yes silly people, I own both!!!!
Regarding mixed reactions - I think that Uncle Buck was badly edited. A lot of stuff that could help deepen the relationships with the kids was cut out, therefore the message of the movie is ... pretty flat. Ask yourself what was Uncle Buck about.

I’m the Uncle Buck of my family, only difference is that I am close to my family.

Today it might cost more $$$ to rent in Wrigleyville than to own a home in Evanston, so UB would have the status upper hand
I like when he knocks on the wrong door across the street from where his brother lives
My older brother is a living "Uncle Buck". A little rough around the edges, always broke, but he would literally give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I love this movie.
Some people didn't win all of the cash and prizes in life but got one great gift as consolation, which is a huge heart. I can feel Buck's character and style personally.
Loved John Candy's work back in the day. A true Legend of his craft.
I forever still to this day miss you John Candy.

PS to finish off Uncle Buck is my favorite movie of his and it tells us all about the hardships of life on how a man can be rejected by society and no one wants to know him however when he helps people out that's when their opinions of him changes and in turn gains a sense of respect towards Buck. The very beginning he was a loser but near the end he won everyone else's hearts and became a winner. Uncle Buck to me is the movie adaptation of the expression "Never judge a book by it's cover."
Well put
He showed that just like everyone else he wasn't perfect but he loved his niece and nephew and his family and even though they basically treated him like an outcast he went in when they most needed him and proved he was a good person.
So do I. I miss him too.
I remember when he died, I actually felt like I had lost a family member. I loved all the characters he played on SCTV.
Pooter-the-Clown: I don't have to take this shit from you. You know who I am? In the field of local-live-home entertainment, I'm a god!
Buck: Get back in your mouse, and get out of here. 😂😂
Listen here you 4 flushing sack of...
"You need any dildo jokes? ...Boinggg...Im the guy" lol
The drunk clown was pure gold; the way he struggled up the sidewalk and could barely ring the doorbell because his hands were shaking so bad... lose my shit every time I watch that.
One of the best lines of this movie but such a standout.
i would have never believed that the clown was played by who he was played by. Seen that guy in 1000 roles and just never even guessed. though i knew i knew that voice.
Danny DeVito's urinal scene would of just been him using a urinal lol.
Awesome point!
Might have switched it out to regular urinals ;)
He probably would have taken a shit in it :-/
Would HAVE
The scene would have been longer because Danny Devito is full of shit!
