When this came out on video (.....) I rented it each weekend and marathoned it with friends during the entire weekend....can recite the entire movie including face impressions from each character...this movie is gold...it should be taught on schools as general education.
Serving in Australian Navy, on Patrol Boats 1983-6. No TV at sea so we had videos. The entire ship can recite the movie. Saw it daily for two years… Vale John Belushi.
Saw this in the theater when was I 3 years old. Pop had no clue about ratings and he loved John Belushi so off we went. I swear there are scenes that they have taken out of the retail copies. What a great film.
Brilliant film in every way. One of the genius moves was they scored this with a serious soundtrack, not a comedic one. That adds immensely to the end result.
As it turned out I did the 7 year plan. Not the way I intended it, just the way it worked out. Years 2 ad 3 were the most miserable, the last 2 years were the most fun. Probably the most important thing I learned in 7 years was how to do college.
That's a great line...I like when NEIDYMEIR saids to Boone and pinto: how's it feel to be an independent sho n stern? And Boone saids : how's it feel to be an asshole NEIDYMEIR? ...and NEIDYMEIR saids: WHAT DID HE SAY???..cracks me up everytime....HOSS!!!
I've always wanted to become a manager so I could go into a meeting on Monday morning and say to the assembled employees, "You're all worthless and weak. Now drop and give me twenty!" just to see how may people would get the reference. Probably the reason I never became a manager, now that I think about it....
and Blutto would tell you, 'don't think about it. here, have a beer". Even if fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life, son. which is a line I HAVE used in the workplace. more than once, in fact, but it was needed.
A few fellow correction officers told our Chief (Director of Custody Operations-Deputy Warden) that he was worthless and weak. We also called him a punk and a phony.
In "Twilight Zone-The Movie" in the Vietnam sequence when the Army squad is walking through the jungle and suddenly stops and then fires all their weapons at Vic Morrow when he comes out yelling at them for help...when they are done firing and are all scared, high, and confused..one of them says "I told you guys we shouldn't have shot Lieutenant Needlemeyer!"....a line thrown in there by director John Landis...the same director of Animal House.
Our Air Force son had a name tag made that said Stratton. He had quite a lot of fun with that. “Eric Stratton, damn glad to meet you” The area officer started asking questions about some guy named Stratton. Our son had to lay low for a while.
My frat life in the early 80’s. I was in Delta Tau and we actually had Otis Day and the Knights play at one of our spring parties…best years of my life.
Hey the actor that has the helmet on it says a pledge pin on your uniform . He played the dad in the Twisted Sister's video.We're not gonna take it anymore
What a great time it was. There were so many great movies to choose from. In those days, I saw more good movies in one year than I've seen in the last 15 years. And that's a fact !
@@monorail4252, lol. There's no way in the world they'd make Blazing Saddles today. I went to a school that was 99% black, we all laughed at how funny that movie was. It made way more fun of white people than it did of any race. In fact, that's who it made fun of the most, I've never understood why people don't get that these days.
@marcusaurelius8717 exactly we still laugh at Blazing Saddles today. It hasn't been "canceled", removed from viewing, taken out of circulation, they have censored some scenes but it is still viewable and could be made.
@marcusaurelius8717 the only reason blazing saddles couldn't be made today is because the GOP would be offended if they ever learned they were being made fun of.
Not always. Fun fact: the cast was actually beaten up by members of a fraternity in real life while attending a party at the college where the film was shot.
2:14 Alright "Mister Sister," I want you to tell me... No, better yet, stand up and tell the class, what do you want to do with your life?" I WANNA ROCK!
They needed a big name and Sutherland agreed to the role. At the time, he was the only star. Furthermore, Sutherland, offered a 2% of royalties, turned THAT down for his Universal card carrying member union " daily rate". A decision he regretted as the Box Office receipts would have given him millions. He laughed about it and was completely okay as most well-adjusted folks can do. Meanwhile, the character Dorfman, secured and landed his role by a creative method. Looking for acting work in LA while delivering pizzas, he put his photo on all the pizza boxes he delivered. It worked. They saw that face and he got the role.
"It's time for someone to put their foot down...and that foot is me!" I got to tell my kids this line when discipline was needed, then got to educate them on the movie. Ah, to be a dad...
I just noticed the following at 4:25: the phrase "Ars Gratia Artis" is underneath the Delta's logo -- that's the motto of MGM that's posted right above the roaring lion -- it's Latin for "Art For Art's Sake". 😲
