When this movie came out one of my group of friends was about to turn 21. We asked him what he wanted for gifts and he said “SPATULAS!”. So we, being the excellent friends that we are, gave him spatulas every birthday for the next 10 years. Regular ones, wood ones, plastic ones, an 8 foot long one, a really cool stained glass one, and finally a gold plated one engraved with his name and birth date. Weird Al has been a big influence in our lives to this day.

Stanley's reaction to being kidnapped made me think there should be a whole skit. Imagine a kidnapper taking someone from a grocery store parking lot, and taking the victim back to their lair. Instead of being frightened, the victim is annoyingly enthusiastic, excited, and a little inappropriately turned on about being kidnapped. By the end, the kidnapper is dumping the victim back off at the grocery store parking lot and accelerating away as fast as possible, while the victim is running and screaming after them, "Call me!"

UHF(Ultra High Frequency) before the days of cable with an extra round antenna on your TV they picked up the high numbered stations on your TV . VHF(Very High Frequency) rabbit ear antenna's on the TV picked up the lower numbers usually your regular ABC,NBC,CBS and Local station which became FOX.

When this movie came out, everybody with a television knew that UHF meant local broadcasting. Almost all TVs had a channel on the dial that was labeled UHF. When I was a kid I saw UHF on our TV but I didn't know what the letters meant. So even if we didn't know what the movie was about, we knew it was going to be something about local (meaning REALLY low budget) TV. Which meant we didn't go into it completely blind. That being said, UHF in my area was just snow. We never watched it because there was nothing to watch. Favorite line from this movie: [heavy despairing sigh] "I'll have a blueberry daquiri."

@Karthos1000 2 года назад

This was done by Orion Films who were financially struggling. It did extremely well with test audiences. So they decided to release it in Summer of 1989, believing it would save the studio. So it was only up against such minor films as "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", "Lethal Weapon 2" and "Ghostbusters II". It did not save the studio, and like all cult classics, most of the time, a small vociferous following doesn't lead to a booming film career. But I think 'Weird' Al has done just fine. (He already had musical hits; I'm not saying his music career came from the movie; just saying not having a film career didn't hurt him.) And Michael Richards (Stanley) did have a small part on a minor sitcom later. (Kramer on Seinfeld, for anyone who didn't know.) Those are the two most notable examples I think.

@alexanderseitz4193 3 года назад

I love this movie. But watching this I just noticed how incredibly violent it is. I watched a horror movie last night that had less shock violence than this. In UHF, a man saws his own thumb off, a clown gets beaten with a frying pan, Gandhi punches through a guy's body, a man gets chopped in half, people explode after getting shot, a guy gets randomly run over by a train, etc. And the whole time I'm laughing my head off. I think weird Al found the right formula where the more absurd it is, the more violent it can be, and your brain just finds it funny instead of shocking and upsetting. The violence actually adds to the absurdity. There's a touch of genius in it somewhere.

Unfortunately this movie bombed in theaters, it opened the same weekend as the first Michael Keaton Batman movie in 1989. Roger Ebert of Siskel and Ebert called it the worst movie of the year. That's why only one Weird Al movie exists. Although, there is also The Weird Al Show done kind of in the style of Pee Week's Playhouse, but that show suffered from new TV Saturday morning morality guidelines that all new shows had to hit kids over the head with positive life lessons to be on the air.

Having a doorknob in the center of the door is a mixed "blessing". It looks cool, but it makes opening the door a bit more awkward. The knob is not near the outer edge of the "swing" and therefore if you push or pull with the knob the door is harder to open or close because of leverage.

Most TV sets of that era were able to receive VHF over the air broadcast signals with a standard antenna. To receive the UHF signals, a special antenna had to be attached to the TV. VHF (Very High Frequency), was considered the best signal, and all the major networks broadcast in this range, but the smaller broadcasters that couldn't afford VHF (like the fictional Ch 62), broadcast via UHF (Ultra High Frequency) which had less clear signals. The TV sets of that era had a dial that was labeled U, and the numbers 2-13. To watch a UHF channel, you set the main dial on 'U', then there was an additional dial that went from 14-83.

Saw this in the theater and just loved it! We still quote this movie in our house. So much fun, and endlessly quotable.

Thee is a Weird Al "documentary" called The Compleat Al (spelled that way), which does give information about his start, but done with his humor and silly bits. It is a real fun one to watch.

Before cable was an option we had VHF vs UHF as types of broadcast options. VHF could be widely broadcast. UHF is for local broadcasts mainly. One of my area local channels changed to UHF I recall. Each required its own antenna for best reception. The music video and comedy segments were about 20% of the movie. Much of the crazy TV comedy is based on what was popular on TV with the crazy talk shows and ads. Overall, it is a slice of 1970's and 1980's pop culture from the point of view of a musician famous for funny songs. You can thank the radio show "Dr Demento" for playing his songs on the radio. You could start to wander into the novelty song genre. I have yet to see that other than a few funny song reactions.

The first time I watched UHF, & could follow it, I was blown away when I realized Stanley was the same actor as Cosmopolitan Kramer in Seinfeld! I watched it in the first place because I adored Weird Al through his other works, like the UHF soundtrack which I had for years prior!

Funny thing, when the beggar received the penny he was told "don't spend it all in one place". By the end he actually did.

@Talius10 3 года назад

He also bought a Rolex, so I guess he spent it at 2 places (at least) ☺

I haven't watched this since the 90s. I remember there is a pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards in this movie. UHF is Ultra High Frequency. Old TVs only had 13 channels and then UHF. When cable came out, you had to connect the cable box to where the bunny ears antennae connect because there wasn't a direct cable input into those TVs. That's all I can remember. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm so happy you uploaded this on my birthday. This was quite the supplies! The only thing that could have made it better is a spatula.

After seeing this, please get her to watch Berry Gordy's the Last Dragon. Her reaction to that would be priceless.

UHF is a radio frequency its what most TV stations used to broadcast their shows. Ultra High Frequency. some used VHF, very high frequency. both were analogue. now we use digital.
