A scene from one of my favorite comedies. Dom DeLuise at his brilliant best. And Burt Reynolds as the straight man. His facial expressions are priceless. This is a great, under rated comedy.
Dom & Burt...the very best of friends, on & off the big screen...together again. I have no doubt, Dom was there waiting for Burt, to welcome him home. RIP
Don Bluth has a lot to say about these two in his new memoir - when they were doing 'All Dogs' together Bluth talks about how Dom stopped Burt from using a goofy cartoon voice - Burt said he liked his cartoon voice, and Dom told him "Your mother's cottage-cheese ass! I'm Dom, you're Burt, don't make me look bad!"
@@jfloresmac I personally think that this was Burt Reynolds best staring scene in a movie! Look how he stares at Dom DeLuise in horror! He stares so good!
Isn't it. I love that scene where he's helping Burt jump to his death from the second or third floor onto a grassy slope, Burt changes his mind screaming, "It's not high enough !" Then somehow they swap positions and Dom goes over the edge. You hear a thump then Dom's voice saying, " You're right ! It's not high enough" Bloody hilarious !
This is so damn funny! And I'm Polish! They could never make this movie today, with all its ethnic humor. (Same with Blazing Saddles.) Stupid tight-ass times we live in today.
We could learn from the likes of EVERYBODY on that set of blazing saddles, breaking that racial tension the way they did to be able to laugh at that movie whether you’re white or black, incredible men for sure, we’ll never have anyone like them that can break that kinda racial tension we have nowadays. Bless them for real man just a beautiful human Don was
Actually, they couldn't make Blazing Saddles today, is because it would rightfully call out the people that whine about stuff being "woke" as the morons of today. And there would be grift-fests up the whazoo, because of it.
Gawd this is so good - I know every word by heart. Great movie. Dom is at his best, such a funny soul. Burt always had great comedic timing. These two were some of the best comedy matchups ever.
A superb actor/comedian. The first movie I ever saw him in was Fail Safe. A small part and the only serious part he ever performed that I'm aware of. He is missed.
I remember seeing this movie a long time ago! It's truly a forgotten oldie of Burt Reynold! Dom is a great actor. He made himself cry in this scene! hehe
Everything Dom says in this is hilarious!! He truly was a comic genius.As i watch this, i noticed how much his sons facial mannerisms remind me of Dom...especially David.Dom was a wonderful actor and comedian.He was a special man who brought so much joy in many lives including mine.
I met this man ! NO NOT BURT ! Dom was so great. I had a little shack on the beach and he made a home movie with his little son and the shack was a great prop. He was so thankful. Not long after the whole neighborhood burned and his house went up in smoke too. I always will remember him. This acting was fantastic. I couldn't stop laughing it was too funny. RIP !!
“Do you think this country will ever switch over to the metric system?” Whenever I need a complete non-sequitur, I use that ever since I saw this movie...in the theatre!
One of the best double acts ever, these two bounce off each other brilliantly, the facial expressions of Burt Reynolds are priceless. Brilliant movie and very funny
I was nearly choking with laughter on this scene. We can all relate to supplicating the Lord when we're in deep water and then rationalizing to take it back after we are out of trouble.
Always loved Dom DeLuise. I'd never seen this clip before and I'm in pain from laughing. How the fuck Burt Reynolds manages to keep a straight face throughout the clip is a testament to his skill as an actor. There had to have been more than one take to nail this. No sane person could repress laughing at DeLuise's fantastic lunacy.
If you study how movies are made, Burt probably wasn't even there. They both probably filmed their scenes independently. There hare hardly both in the camera at the same time.
Thank you thank you thank you! This is unbelievably funny with such phenomenal delivery on all fronts. Reminds me of a shirt I saw the other day - in the style of the logo of the Aussie band ACDC, it had printed "ADHD", and under that was written (in the same style as the album cover)... "Stairway to... look there's a squirrel". Magnificent! Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave
I saw this in the theater when it came out and couldn't stop laughing. A friend said if the scene had gone on a minute longer he'd have to go to ICU. Could you add the part where Reynolds does to pee and Dom is tlaking outside the door. That is the continuation of this scene and also hysterically funny.
