Same here! In fact that freeze frame shot of him at the end isn’t his first freeze frame at the end of one of his films. They do the same thing in his other movie. Planes, Trains and Automobiles has the same thing at the end. Real tear jerker! John Candy is no doubt an absolute legend!
One thing good about Buck Russell is he make sure his brothers kids are safe. Like the guy with the toothpick? Drunk clown and the assistant principal and his niece’s Boyfriend. He protects them for that so that’s one good thing he does really well
John candy had the perfect comedy timing and sense of humour, so natural! Always think of him at the Christmas season when I’m watching this classic :)
Still have the paper sleeved VHS of Uncle Buck loved this film when I was kid. It's so funny and Hughes just adds so many details e.g. when the door his buck the flash then the jet sound and tyre squeal when he lands. Makes me laugh every time.
I wish so much that john candy hadn't died, I've loved all his films, he always plaid the good one,even when he was bad,he was always good...when you watch his films they just make you feel happy, I think he is one of the best actors of the eighties., I would love to have seen what he would would be like in 2020...he is a master of his trade, his family must be so proud of him...he will never be forgotten certainly in our house..🐈🐱🎄🎄🎄🎖🎖
Walked past the Uncle Buck apartment plenty. You can also pay to go up on the rooftop and watch the Cubs game (rooftop bleachers). Pretty fun way to catch a baseball game.
I've also noticed that a lot of John Hughes Movies are set in the Chicago suburbs Planes trains and automobiles Uncle Buck Ferris Bueller's Day off The Breakfast club Home Alone
Uncle Buck was actually an awful person if you think about it. He told a drunk clown to go get back into his car and leave off even though he knew the drunk clown was already drunk, which would have been a major hazard to the drunk clown and anyone else on the road, and then he also kidnapped and tied up a teenage boy and abandoned out in the middle of nowhere. Uncle Buck was psychotic, and was lucky he didn't get in any trouble for the shit he pulled.
eric21200 I honestly don't know. I found this in the VIDEO_TS folder of a DVD I got with behind-the-scenes footage of completely different movies shown in the menu. I guess one of those hidden easter eggs I missed but found in the folder using my laptop.
No. I bought the VHS in the 90's from a video store that was going out of business. No extras are on it. Saw an interview on YT with John's daughter that said Uncle Buck was her dad's persona in real life.
