I didn't know who John Belushi was until I saw the Blues Brothers and then eventually saw him in Animal House and I think he was probably one of the most phenomenal actors ever to appear on Saturday Night Live back when it was really good. But when I was a kid I saw the Last Action Hero and that was the first time I saw his brother Jim Belushi and then he was in a TV show that he did for ABC and I think he was in Little Shop of Horrors with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. I would love to meet Jim Belushi one day just to sit down and talk with him ask him about how he got into acting and I wonder if there was any good relationship between him and his brother John and I would conclude my interview with him by saying if your brother was alive how old would he be and what film would he do now? I'm not a reporter but just to ask these questions would be really interesting enough to make a book one day
When he said nothing is over I would have pictured myself in a remake of that movie and I would have said it ain't over till the fat lady sings but considering the fact that it would be a comedy I would have said it ain't over till the fat frog croaks
@@AA-sn9lz That's Bluto's face all right! 😂 is my face when watching this . Actually my face was more or less stuck in that position for this entire movie 😂
And I bet when you tell them it's a movie quote, then they say "Well you're dumb because you probably thought it was the Germans anyway." It's the greatest line ever.
The 'moron' line was delivered by Stork, played by Doug Kenney. He was a co-author of the AH and Caddyshack scripts as well as the co-founder of National Lampoon.
There wasn't a bad scene in the whole movie! I was crying from something very bad done to me earlier in the day when I walked into the theater the night I saw this and crying from laughter when I came out. No, I am not bipolar! "I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody'd part!" Belushi: "And we're just the guys to do it!" "LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
John Belushi's acting reminds me so much of Bill Murray's acting. John and Bill's acting was very similar. I bet that's why they chose Bill Murray to play Peter Veckman in Ghostbusters. Originally, they were going to have John Belushi play Peter but he unexpectedly died but Bill Murray was just as good. You'd think Bill and John could've done a movie where they played brothers.
THEY DID A LOT OF SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SKITS TOGETHER ALONG WITH DAN AKROYD. OF COURSE DAN AKROYD AND JOHN BELUSHI PLAYED BROTHERS IN THE BLUES BROTHERS. WAS SO UNFORTUNATE JOHN BELUSHI DIED FROM DOING DRUGS. HE WAS A SPECIAL TALENT AND OF COURSE HIS REAL BROTHER JIM BELUSHI LIVES ON IN MOVIES AND TV. AND JOHN BELUSHI AND BILL MURRAY BOTH CAME FROM CHICAGO AND WERE COMEDY STARS IN CHICAGO BEFORE THEY JOINED THE ORIGINAL CAST OF SNL!
Alexander Edward Pytko Balushi was suppose to be in Ghost Busters...he was meant to have Bill Murray's character but Balushi died before the movie was filmed.
_Otter: "Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could fight them with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"_ _Bluto: "And we're just the guys to do it!"_
"I think this situation absolutely requires that a really. . . futile, and stupid gesture, be done on somebody’s part!" "And we're just the guys to do it." Damn inspiring. USA! USA! USA!
When the movie came out in theaters I had to see it three times before I could actually hear the dialog, as the audience was laughing so hard and so loudly. To make it even better, my boyfriend at the time and the guys dorm where he had lived on campus was EXACTLY LIKE ANIMAL HOUSE! I had the dubious privilege of dating the UConn version of Bluto Blutarski...
i just love it that you like the movie! so many women just do not get ‘guy humor’. - well, it’s not like i sit around watching the hallmark channel .. anyway, welcome! we don’t see many of your kind around here ... .
I've see this movie over 100 times, and every time I see this scene, EVERY time since I saw it in the theater in 1978, I laugh just as hard at this scene in particular aside from the rest of the film in general... :-D
On the last day for Harold Ramis, a toast for him. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" It will never be over as long as memory lasts. Thanks for this gift, sir.
"Nothing is over until we decide it is!" This is almost like some of my classes in high school. Sometimes when the bell rings, the teaches continue to talk about what we're learning, and then we leave when he/she says we can.
Every time you are at a stadium and your team is getting the shit kicked out of it they always show this on the Jumbotron.....and suddenly things are better.
I believe this movie is the reason why everyone is now in college never mind needing a degree for a job it’s this movie bc everyone wanted to experience this
I WAS IN A COLLEGE FRATERNITY IN THE MID 1970'S AT BALL STATE UNIVERSITY. WHEN THIS MOVIE CAME OUT SOME FRAT BROTHERS OF MINE SAID I HAD TO SEE THIS MOVIE. SO I WENT AND SAW TO ME AMAZEMENT MY COLLEGE FRAT LIFE BEING PLAYED OUT ON THE SCREEN. I WAS THE BLUTO CHARACTER TO THE T. SOME OF MY FRAT BROTHERS FIT A FEW OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS AND OUR FRAT HOUSE WAS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE FRAT HOUSE IN ANIMAL HOUSE. STILL GET CHILLS SEEING THIS MOVIE!
Greatest movies of all time: 1. Animal House, 2. The Blues Brothers, 3. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, 4. Airplane, 5. Blazing Saddles, 6. History of the World: Part 1
In 1978 I was 13 when I literally walked 3 miles along a highway to a theater next to a huge shopping mall. I paid for a PG ticket and snuck in to see Animal House. Oh yeah, it was a school night too!
I always considered "A stupid and futile gesture" to be the unofficial tagline of Animal House. And then they went and made it the title of the Doug Kenney BioPic movie and it made me so happy that someone else loved that line as much as me.
2:37 - When D-Day throws his jacket...THAT 'S the moment that still sends a chill up my spine even all these decades later. Memo to Wormer & the rest of the Authoritarian Cretins: "Katy, Bar the Door." So few such AWESOME Moments in Life......... As the poster stated, "It was Delta versus the Rules. And...the Rules...LOST" Oh yeah...
love it when this clip is on, it posts when the Oakland A's are down going into the bottom of the 9th inning, amazing cause the A's always seem to pull it off in the end
