Death Becomes Her (1992) | Reaction | First Time Watching! 

THESE ARE THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING!!! God you just know how to make my weekends, thanks boo!

“NOW a warning?!” My favorite line from this movie. 😂

When I was a kid raised in an anti gay household i loved this movie and didnt realize until i grew up and came out that all the gays loved it too

Isabella Rossellini in this movie didn't make me a lesbian, but lord did she contribute to me slipping further down the slippery slope of sapphism. Honestly its incredible how much of an impression she made in a movie starring Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep. That's a hell of an accomplisment!

One of my very favorite movies! Best line, when Madeline says to Helen, "And I can see right through you!"

the funniest part to me is when she pulls meryl along with her at the end and she makes a ghoul/zombie sound "ehhhhhgh" as they go down the steps ...she had been living dead for so long she started sounding like a zombie lol

One of my favourite movie scenes comes from this movie. And i still believe it was a blooper. When Isabella Rossilini askes "Guess how old i am!" and Maryl answers "38?!" .... That look on Isabella Rossilinis face is priceless, that shock was real and you can tell. Rossilini was 37 during filming ... i think Maryl was supposed to say a different age, but it came out and Isabella was cought by surprise

It's literally the meaning of camp and I loved it growing up. So fun! Bruce, Meryl and Goldie owned these roles and the chemistry between them all is potent.

Weirdly watched this as a kid and finding out tons of people never seen it. Watching it as an adult I wonder why my parents let me watch it but it's so fun and campy I love it.

Meryl can sing. It's her real voice. Please also watch Mamma Mia! The Movie 2008, Into The Wood 2014, Ricki and Flash 2015, The Prom 2020.

I saw this movie 5 times in the theater summer of '92. I went alone the opening weekend then went again the second time with 3 friends because all characters reminded me of people in my life at the time. Next 3 times we took more people until the 5th time the theater was completely filled with our group. I LOVE this movie

So according to Goldie Hawn the orginal ending had the girls looking all young and beautiful still, and they see Earnest all old and happy with a new wife and kids. And Madeline is all “isn’t that pitiful, look how old they are. Aren’t you glad we’re not them” And Helen replies “yes” in a sad tone because she doesn’t mean it.

This movie was my childhood. I had no hope of being straight XD

Sigh, 30 year anniversary this year for Death Becomes Her. I remember being SO EXCITED for it to be released... yes I'm old. Another movie for you to check out, if you haven't already, is She-Devil.

Meryl Streep is a great singer irl. She was fantastic in Mamma Mia. This film was a guilty pleasure when I was younger, and now I appreciate it for so many other reasons. And I spot something new with each viewing. Such an underrated little gem... the effects, for the time.

Notice how Helen and Madeline's nicknames for one another are "Mad" and "Hell"? Thought that was interesting

Omg this is one of my personal favorite movies!! I remember it being so weird but enjoyable and such a fun time overall glad you decided to watch it!!

21:18 Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo! Brilliant casting! I was happy to see they all came "out of retirement" to do this film! 😂

This guy with his balls to his knees at 54 loves this movie. Just started a new chapter of my life and loving being in love again.

"Now a warning?!" Love this film!

Mad’s eyes were probably as white as Helen’s at some point after she died, but Ernest was able to paint Madelyn’s and later Helen’s eyes to look more lifelike. Maybe dying in the pool caused Helen’s eyes to look different, who knows?

Goldie Hawn Isabella Rossellini and Meryl Streep are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous in this movie! This is a classic one of my favorites❤❤

Fun fact: The fabulous Lady Gaga vampire lady is played by Isabella Rossellini. She's Ingrid Bergman's daughter, of Casablanca fame. This movie is all Hollywood royalty. 🌟

Yes, she is a singer. Just a couple: she sang in Mamma Mia and Into the Woods. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. Ages like fine wine ❤

This is my all time favorite movie! I just love *everything* about it!! Anyway, here a couple answers/corrections to things most first time viewers are confused over. 1. Hellen id actually eating that icing in the plastic tub in the scene where she gets forcibly removed from her nasty ass apartment. 2. I _believe_ that Hellen is just blowing air from a fancy bottle into her eyes to get herself to cry. (So you were right about that one! I just wanted to add that I’m pretty sure that it’s just air that she’s using!) All-in-all, excellent reaction!!

the potion keeps you immortal and young, all of the clients are still living. but if you die, it keeps your soul trapped in a decaying body. oh, and the cross on the potion box is an ankh, an egyptian symbol of life.

I don't think that was a crucifix, looked like an Ankh, mystical egyptian symbol of eternal life...

The symbol at 10:07 is actually an ancient Egyptian ankh. Isabella Rosellini's character was originally supposed to be Cleopatra! I really wish they had stuck with that.

7:29 Because his hands shake and he can't hold his scalpel steady. If you notice when he's throwing his knives, his hand trembles. And then in the end when he throws the knives to turn the lights off, it's the hand Liza put the potion into to demonstrate its power 20:37

7:24 Ernest most likely lost his license due to his drinking problem.(or like you mentioned that he screwed up one of his patients.) Ernest is most likely a reconstructive mortician They work on any harsh conditions that effect the deceased person in question. Like discoloration, broken bones, missing hair(when I say missing hair I mean ripped out or burned off. I don’t think he would need to cover up a bald spot unless it’s what the family/ closest contact of that person wanted.), etc. For example the man he worked on earlier in the film had an expression of happiness froze on his face and was a blue-grayish color. So Ernest would’ve had to paint the man the skin color he was when he was alive and relax the face muscle to where they could look presentable for his funeral. In a way it’s a lot like plastic surgery, except replace the pulse with rigor-mortis.

I was 4 years old when I watched the movie for the first time(1995).And it traumatised me.😅 the ending did

Isabella Rossellini as the immortal Goddess was the perfect casting choice

I remember my grandma showed all us granddaughters this movie one sleep over night. Still such a great movie, now that I understand all the jokes

One of my favorites ever! And your reaction to it was just perfect. I used to watch this as a kid in the 90s and pretend to be Isabella Rossellini (because of course I would). I love introducing people to this one, it's always fun and good for a laugh. It's also good seeing Bruce Willis' return to comedy in this after so many action flicks.

Ok, this is one of my all time favorites. I deadass watched this (& First Wives Club) every week when I was around 10-16 lol. It’s absolutely fabulous. Goldie, Meryl & Bruce turned the mf party in this movie!

I like the fact that when they greet each other at the start Goldie Hawn says ''MAD'' and Meryl Streep replies ''HELL''

You should watch "She Devil" also a great Meryl Streepe movie

OMG MY FAVORITE!!! Honeyyyyy this movie has lines I say to this DAY 20 years later. THESE ARE THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING!!!"

This video deserves more views for the edit alone.

"This is my future!" Mine too...

The truth is there aren't many movies like this. Whenever I see a film tagged as dark comedy I hoping to get something like this and I never do. I guess this level of camp funny horror it's only in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and not much else. And yes, of course is Meryl singing, she sang in Postcards from the edge (1990), A prairie home companion, Mamma Mia! (2008), Into the woods (2014), etc.

I'd only agree to live forever if I could ascend into an being of pure energy that can observe with one companion of my choice to share with.

''Ooohhh looks as though she's lost a few poun...WE'RE LEAVING!!' 😆😂

This movie is quintessential and subgenre defining (in my honest opinion) Dark Comedy. You have to be in a certain mood in order to enjoy it. Fun Fact: Isabella Rossellini used a body double for her nude scene in this film. The body double that stood in for her is Catherine Bell. Interestingly, a couple of years earlier, Rossellini did her own nude scenes in the film, Blue Velvet (1986). Bonus Fact: In several scenes toward the end of the film, references to deceased musicians and actors are visible. When Bruce Willis's character, Ernest Menville, falls through the glass roof and lands in the pool, Jim Morrison can clearly be seen with a girl. Later on, an extra playing James Dean turns around (with his signature hairdo) as Ernest steals his Grey Spider. During the big welcome address at the ball, Elvis Presley is scolded for making random public appearances, an urban myth long-held by his fans that think he's still alive but hiding from the public eye.

This movie is so damn funny!!! I wish I could experience it again for the first time, so thank you for letting me do that via your reaction!!!!! Such an underrated movie!

Death Becomes Her is one of my all time favorite movies!! I highly recommend Drop Dead Gorgeous if you haven’t seen it! It’s Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Denise Richards, Amy Adams, Alison Janey and Brittany Murphy in a Minnesota Beauty pageant. It’s a dark comedy and it’s amazing!

One of my childhood favorites! 🖤

Call me an old soul, but I’ve watched and adored this movie ever since I a little girl…like 6!

14:45 that doctor directed Tootsie

10:00 “This is giving me straight…” You could’ve ended the sentence right there, we know you’re straight for these women 😂😂😂

I remember watching the movie wity my Mom in the 90s and just dying laughing. It was one of the first "grown up" movies she let me watch. I was probably 12 or 13 at the time

Please react to Clue, But I'm a cheerleader, Jawbreaker, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Ginger Snaps and Soapdish!!!

I'm writing that Universal Pictures should give Death Becomes Her a special Blu-ray release that would include all 25 deleted scenes that were cut from the film and including the film's original Switzerland alternate ending as special features.

5:30 The "IS IT UP YET?" thing came back later in a deleted scene when Ernest has fallen asleep on the couch and it's next morning. The maid Rose comes into the kitchen to prep Madeline's tray but she sees racks and food everywhere... then finds Madeline in the fridge... Madeline is pissed and stuck (with icicle's on her brows) then tells Rose to close the door. Rose is baffled and runs to Ernest who is waking up... Rose: Dr Menville! Ernest: Morning Rose... is IT up yet? Rose: Yes sir, IT's in the fridge!!! Ernest jumps up... makes something up that it's a new beauty treatment Madeline read about in a magazine. He rips her from the fridge and tells her to look alive as if she was doing some beauty treatment. Put some avocado on your face or something!!! Ernest tries to fire Rose and gives her an envelope but Rose doesn't trust it and tries to take the alcohol bottle from Ernest. Then Madeline comes 'walking' all crackling... into the livingroom and goes: See all fine! While she tries to wave with her broken hand (she has ovenmits on). Ernest gets Rose out of the house and tells Madeline they can't be busted and he has to make her presentable. He pulls her up the stairs (I'm sweaty! No dear, I think you're defrosting!) and Madeline has a meltdown... but Ernest promises he will make her his masterpiece. Then the scene with her being painted starts... Check the theatrical trailer for some shots of this scene. That trailer was made before the movie was changed radically but why they removed this hilarious scene is beyond me. The ending was actually filmed only 3 weeks before release!

I saw this in 1992 when I was 19. I am now 49. I need that potion! And my balls are still high and tight thank you very much. lol

That just made my day! As a teen, I was obsessed with Goldie Hawn. Ever seen Housesitter?

Yes Meryl Streep can sing.. and she was for a moment or two considered for the role of Evita.. that ultimately went to Madonna.. when the idea of a motion picture of the Broadway Musical was being batted around back in the late 70's and early 80's... Also, the nurse that tells Ernest that Madilyn was taken to the morgue... Is the same one that plays the role of "Patty" in Elvira: Mistress of the Dark...

LOVING the content, just saw yer channel! Kept me in-stitches through Clue, as well. Fabulous, subscribed!

Hilarious reaction! Thanks! And you used one of my favorite Cordelia lines! ❤️

The celebrity party with James, Andy, Marilyn, Jim, Gretta, etc, was a zombie party, they were all dead, and Lisle was going to make Ernest Forever Young so they would have someone to do the upkeep. Oh, and when Helen barged into the operating room when Ernest was mid-cut, was when Ernest lost his license from malpractice.

They removed so many scenes since they had to get rid of a big chunk of the third act when they opted for a different ending, it's so sad. More than 30 scenes were removed. They should have added another fight scene, maybe with Fabio or one of the celebs at the party. When Ernest flees the poolroom or something... he runs into Fabio kissing Marilyn Monroe in the hallway... and because they try to capture Ernest Fabio accidentally ends up 'killing' Monroe... but she gets back to life and says: "I restore myself when I'm alone" which is a famous quote of hers.

This was originally going to be a "Tales From the Crypt" project. All the hallmarks are there: dark comedy mixed with horror themes, A-list actors playing against type, soundtrack by Allen Silvestri, involvement of Robert Zemeckis.

I watched this with my parents on Request pay per view channel 😂 we connected a phone line to our satellite reciever to make ordering easier because my dad liked boxing pay per views.

It's one of my all time favourite films! I assumed everyone had seen it. Isabella Rossellini is so captivating, but I was always team Madeline.. Streep fever started young! I was 8 when it came out, I had to wait for it on VHS and then I wore the tape out 😂

This film scared me when I was younger. ALL DAH BODEY HORRAH!

In my opinion, death becomes her is one of the funniest horror comedy movies.

Hahah loved that you reacted to this one. It’s as chaotic as my life 😂

If you wanna hear Meryl Streep sing watch Into the Woods! Such a fun musical

i love finding people reacting to this film! its my number one favorite ever

I'm glad you were able to see this film for the first time. I was fifteen when it came out and I though the premise was quirky, but I like dark comedies like this. It does indeed hold up thirty years later and somehow it's more relevant today than it was in '92, with how we view celebrity culture.

Omg this is one of my favorite movies ever I love this movie 💗👑💗 I love it it's iconic also the effects for 1992 are better than some we have today I mean amazing 💗 💗 💗

Elements of this movie kind of remind me of Drop Dead Gorgeous .. hope you've seen that one, but if not, it'd be a great one for you to react to !!

10:11 darling, that is not a crusifix, that is an ankh. It's an Egyptian symbol. And it symbolises life. As well as the balance between feminine and masculine, but in this context, I would say it's there because the life symbolism.

One of my first favorite movies. I remember watching this when I was young and thinking it was fantastic!

I haven't seen this movies in years. Watching this video before bed gave me some good laughs! Especially when you threw in that Glenda clip!

You must try "Nothing But Trouble" 1991 - the closest to Addams Family you can find! Stellar cast!

"is that fucking Goldi Hawn?" Lolol

What in the Jill Roberts is this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am deceased. Death became me 💀

One of my favorite movies ever

The nuns in the hallway always reminds me of the nun scene in High Spirits lol

Finally! This movie deserves attention!

The reason that audience at the beginning was so disgusted was because "Songbird!" was a musicalized version of Tennessee Williams' VERY serious play "Sweet Bird of Youth". Not exactly appropriate material for a musical, much less one with Meryl singing disco style!

This edit has my ass CRYING 😂😂😂😂

"Not the Resident Evil dogs" and then the Alice clip!? I SPIT-ROASTED the subscribe button, gorl!

You’d enjoy Overboard with Goldie Hawn too if you like this type of campy movie 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I very much enjoy that you have skulls and a pumpkin out during April. Literally me.

I first saw this movie when I was like 4 and watched it many times. I’m 24 now and I never noticed the celebrities at the party who seemed to have also took the potion until you pointed it out. I’m in shock lol

Glad you enjoyed it! FYI vampires are the ones with fangs who suck blood and can’t go out in daylight

GURL! Your high-pitched exclamations are EVERYTHING! I just found your channel for FRESH and LOVE IT!

I had no idea what "flaccid" meant when I saw this movie as a kid, but the way Meryl Streep says it over and over, somehow I thought it meant that his weiner has a checkered pattern on it LOL

Really sad to hear the news about Bruce Willis. I saw this when it was released and I'd forgotten how stunning Meryl Streep was !

Have you seen Muriel's Wedding? It's a comedy with some dark elements.

Goldie is EPIC! in this :)

I love "high class call girl that has beehives and shit"

Iconic how you say Isabella was giving you Countess from AHS, because they’re saying Gaga is going to play that role in the Death Becomes Her remake!

I think this movie is considered a Dark Comedy.

i watched that alot when i was a kid

This is one of my favorites, really enjoyed the video. I'd like to suggest Mannequin (1987) starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall.

Oh mhay ghod I lost my shit when you put the Alice kicking the zombie dogs clip from resident evil. Milla Jovovich is such a bad ass queen in that role. Also I too was convinced that meryl streep drank that elixir shit, the queen looks the same to this day.

9:20 yup that was my reaction too when I saw her. Surprise, I’m a lesbian now. In all seriousness, this movie is pure camp, and it’s amazing.
