I watched that movie two times a year, for 30 years, then that kicking the bucket thing hit me. I saw that it dawned on me, and I laughed so hard. I love this scene, and this movie.
Vincent, it will hold up for eternity because of its great acting, and maybe most of all it encapsulated the (near) end of the best decade the U.S. ever enjoyed: July 1953 [end of the Korean War] - Nov. 22, 1963 [coup d'etat, pre-Vietnam]
Keeping in mind that he's dying, I love how Durante looks right into the camera and emphasizes "Big Dubya" - SEVERAL TIMES - so the viewers won't forget it! Hilarious!
At 1:05 - Sid Caesar asks, "Do you think you're hurt.....real bad?" Jimmy Durante looks around and responds, "Is...he...kiddin?"One of the funniest moments ever in motion pictures.
Terry, and there's more where that came from! I'm so glad Stanley Kramer decided to make ONE comedy film--and this is it! I think this film gave the world more fun and enjoyment than all his other great drama pieces combined!
This was the scene that set it all up. After that it was over three hours of nonstop action, and nonstop comedy. Plus, Grogan rattles off what would be a great epitaph: "Good old Smiler: everybody's friend."
I have to say though when I first watched this, I laughed out loud and I was totally expecting the rest of the movie to be full of this type of jokes, because we're so used to them from films like Airplane, The Naked Gun, etc. But that wasn't the case at all. Not that the rest of the movie was bad, but IMHO it wasn't THAT great either, and much too long.
This is one of those special movies I remember loving as a kid, and still do. So many legendary comedians in one film. And the cameos, here's the great Jimmy Durante in his one scene. How many top comedians today would do that? Jerry Lewis without even a speaking part. Jack Benny, with only a few lines. My favorite cameo, the three stooges as firemen. We only see them for a minute, waiting to go into action, but we know how that's gonna turn out. We don't even need to see it to laugh about it.
Yeah, and it wouldn't have been as funny if someone then said "he kicked the bucket", that would've hurt the gag. Especially if they said it and then laughed like an idiot, like you'd get in a lesser comedy.
@@_Peremalfait, that's right, that was funny. Also, don't you agree that in films, a joke automatically becomes less funny when the person who told it laughs at it right afterwards? Think of the best comedians, Groucho Marx never laughed at his own jokes. He never made them seem too forced either, something else which ruins movie jokes.
If that gag were in a Marvel film today, someone definitely would’ve said it aloud. That’s the genius of this film. They don’t bash you over the head with it.
@@12classics39 That's because Marvel films are aimed at the intelligence level of 8-year olds. Seriously, they are. Which is okay. But after a point, it's really annoying and insulting.
Still one of my all time favorite movies. I lived near Long Beach back in the 1970s and 80s and would go past all the places where they filmed the movie...Long Beach Blvd. and Ocean Blvd. Great memories. No cursing either.
Now Russell be careful remember your condition! Ethel says "ahhhh" and waves him away, hilarious! My husband and I still do that to this day, bahahaha!
Anyone who see this movie and KNOWS who the actors are, you have to appreciate the level of restraint they maintained to give their characters room to grow. More than half the cast were straight up comedy icons during the time this movie was shot. They never did get much of an opportunity to display straight drama roles, and using comedians to play in semi-dramatic roles for laughs was right up their alley.
Bless Jimmy Durante's heart. I can't think of a funny guy who can outdo this cameo part so exquisitely yet hysterically than the gruff himself. He even brandished his timing perfectly by kicking the bucket that went sailing deep into the rugged bottom of the cliff. Now that's what I call inspiring. RIP Jimmy :'-) and tell Mrs. Calabash I say hey.
probably one of the finest comedic scenes ever conceived in American cinema. Every one of those actors is a comedic genius in their own right....like the comedy dream team....and the movie is full of this talent. Terry Thomas, Phil Silvers, Jim Bacchus , Buster Keaton to name just a few more.
No doubt. A who's who of every contemporary comedian living at the time. My buddy and I saw it four times at the theater when it came out. Still as funny as when it came out. Just wondering, is the big W still in that park in Santa Rosita?
One of the funniest movies of all time. It just never lets up for two and a half hours. Fantastic cast of lunatic characters, and brilliant slapstick humour. The fight scene where the gas station gets demolished is hilarious. Deserves six stars not just five.😂
I dig it for how everybody talks, especially Durante's "Aunt Belle I didn't mean to do it!", Phil Silvers' condescending asshole tone and Jonathan Winters' "HOLY MACKEREL!"s
The tableau of the principal actors, Jonathan Winters, Sid Ceasar, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett and Milton Berle looking at the bucket which Jimmy Durante kicked down the hill is priceless. I linger over that moment each time I watch this movie. Also I will watch Buddy Hackett looking around when Jimmy Durante is talking about "the bulls"; that gets me every time.
I absolutely love this movie. I first saw it in the original CINERAMA format on a gigantic wrap-around curved screen. Have all of the wonderful comedians in this movie passed on? I dare say this movie cemented their immortality.
The only people left from this movie is Barrie Chase (Sylvester's bikini wearing, dancing girlfriend) and the little Mexican kid that told Phil Silvers to drive his car into the creek.
I also was fortunate to see a few films in Cinerama. A Cinerama screen could be found in several big cities; the one I remember was the Warner Theater in Pittsburgh. The screen had a red curtain over it that followed the screen's curvature. That huge curtain must have weighed a ton.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2020 are 742.47% higher than average prices since 1963. The U.S. dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 3.81% per year during this period, causing the real value of a dollar to decrease. In other words, $350,000 in 1963 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2,948,658.50 in 2020.
AUNT BELLE, I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT!!!!!!! YOU GOTTA TELL ME IT DON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AUNT BELLE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!! YOU GOTTA SAY IT!!!!!!! YOU GOTTA TELL ME IT DON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!
My favorite comedy movie of all time and this is one of the best movie scenes ever made!!! Jimmy Durante kicked the bucket!!!! Just when you think he's dead, he wants Aunt Belle to forgive him. The reaction from all of them!!!! !An all-star cast that can't be rivaled!!!! I've seen this movie at least 20 times and I still bend over crying laughing until it hurts!!!
*Alicia Wilkerson* Exactly. Something that tops this scene off for me , is not just the kicking of the bucket, but how every single one of those guys watch that bucket tumble down to a stop. LOL.
He just went SAILING out there!! He said that a dozen times. Also no blood after that accident? Never mind this was the start of the great adventure for those motorists. Comedy gold.
"Watch out for the bulls! Lousy, stinkin' bulls are everywhere! Bulls all over the place!" --'Smiler Grogan' Love that gag about cops. Watch Buddy Hackett ("Benjy") at 3:15 when Smiler wakes back up, and Benjy has to abruptly go from mourning the dead man, with his cap over his heart, to alive, and he has to put his hat back on! Very funny bit!
Jimmy Durante did not 'kick the bucket' himself. That foot was from a stunt man who did the deed. One of the many facts that later came out on this fantastically funny and legendary comedy film classic! The premiere showing was at the brand new Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles at its own opening after completion, making it a double premiere, on Nov. 7, 1963.
Smiler Grogan warned them: "Watch out for the bulls! Lousy, stinkin' bulls are EVERYWHERE! Bulls all over the place!" Jimmy made the most of his short time on film, and he got a large credit at the start to make up for his short time.
Trivia: Jimmy Durante didn’t actually kick the bucket, they brought in a stuntman to film it. I know because somewhere else here on RUclips the stuntman tells the story of how they hired him to do it.
I wonder if Hal Needham took inspiration from this movie in making Cannonball Run. Both movies were geniusly casted and from beginning to end hilarious.
Yes, that's absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out Juliaflo. Jimmy Durante was born on February 10, 1893. He died of pneumonia on January 29, 1980, twelve days before his 87th birthday. He was forced to retire from performing in 1972 due to a stroke which left him wheelchair bound for the rest of his life.
If you want an example of fantastic acting just look at Milton Berle's face, starting about 2:57. His reaction/expressions to what Smiler is saying is top notch. Just fantastic.
I think this might be the funniest flic of all time. They assembled every nut job they could find even from England and put them in this movie. Every Sean is most amusing than the other. Even today, it cracks me up.
Left out another great line as buddy climbed up to the street. Something like I don’t know about you but if I have to climb up much further I’m gonna be laying back down there along side him.
agreed! I must have seen this move 50 times and every time I watch it, I see something that I didn't notice before and Buddy looking around I never noticed before. The movie is, for all intents and purpose, flawless. Maybe they should have put a copy of it on the voyager spacecraft...its just that good.
The level of talent in this scene is mind blowing.
There will never be another cast like this one
Still one of the funniest movies ever.
Yup...Like The Blues Brothers with all those old Bluesmen and Blueswomen. They're gone but not forgotten.
Not unless they come back from the dead 🏌♀
Only the Cannonball Run I and II compare in terms of legendary casting.
God as a comedy Film this has everything the Cast were absolutely brilliant , I will never stop laughing at the Garage wrecking
Watched this movie a thousand times and it still makes me laugh my ass off. Best ever
seriously! Same here...still makes me laugh to the point of sides hurting. a comic masterpiece.
I watched that movie two times a year, for 30 years, then that kicking the bucket thing hit me. I saw that it dawned on me, and I laughed so hard. I love this scene, and this movie.
“Is he kiddin”😂😂😂
One of my all time favourite movies.👍
Yup!
This is basically the Avengers of 60s comedy. I mean this is like the greatest cast ever assembled.
yep it is .. great movie
"Everyone who's ever been funny is in it"
With the exception of Don Rickles and Dean Martin, *they weren't kidding*.
If you want to be technical, The Avengers is the It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world of Comic Book Movies.
@@mainstreetsaint36 I thought he was talking about Mr. Steed and Mrs. Peel.

TRUE!!
No doubt about it. It's one of my favourite movies of all time.
Buddy Hackett says after this when he's climbing back up the mountain. "If I have to climb anymore of this I'm gonna be laying down there wit em".
This is the peak of humor and you cant change my mind

@@alvexok5523 You're so right. And the scene is made funnier because it's drawn out as they all watch the bucket roll down the hill.

Legends say that bucket is still rollin down the hill
"That guy is dead. You better believe it !!!" pure genius.
Yep
Well, I believe it alright. But if he jumps up again like he did before, I'm gonna get the hell outta here!
How could Jimmy keep from laughin' at these lines?!!
The Wabbit kicked the bucket, the wabbit kicked the bucket!
l always wondered where the phrase "kicked the bucket" came from LOL.
Greatest 1960s comedy ever made.
No close second.
I remember watching this movie with my grandma and she has since then passed. despite it being years since watching it I always remember this scene :)
The gag was even funnier because no one then said "he kicked the bucket", like you would've expected someone to say.
You're right! I didn't notice that but clearly funnier - "subtle".

I always laughed at Benjy looking around "for da bulls!". LOL
"If he jumps up one more time like that I'm getting the hell outta here!"
Now Russell be careful remember your condition! Ethel says "ahhhh" and waves him away,
