Uncle Buck was a horrible person. He did some really screwed up things, like telling a drunk clown to get back in his car and be out on the road driving drunk again, assaulting that same clown just over some words instead of just interrupting him and telling him he'll call him a cab to take him home, and then kidnapping and assaulting some teenager instead of leaving him be, and that niece of Uncle Buck ended up being just as bad as her Uncle Buck there.
steve Kos yes but on a side note, he ditched a years worth of life Savings, to go rescue her from a party where she would’ve made a very regretful decision. He didn’t care about the money, he just wanted her home.
What I miss about films today, a movie like this is simple, guy watches brothers kids, Tia doesn’t like him, by the end he proves good for Tia and for his girlfriend Chanice, a role seemingly written for John Candy, it’s like he is playing himself
I love EVERYTHING about this movie. That car is perfect. No shocks, the door pull is broken on the passenger's side, it belches copious amounts of exhaust, the upholstery is torn, it's filthy. Just perfect.
How about those lovely aftermarket wheel covers? Not to mention it looks like the car was either t-boned or rolled considering what bad shape the bodywork is in.
That's what I thought. Seriously.....does it look like he worries about it being robbed? It runs good. Looks like something out of the Road Warrior. What more does a man need? It's an awesome ride.
wow. they put this scene on youtube. haha. that was me that delivered the line "that's my car, that is my car" forever ago. Somebody tagged me here. haha.
I had a car that would backfire like that if you turned off the ignition, then turned it straight back on. It really was like a gun being fired, l thought it was funny although l imagine others didn't
The one thing this clip misses is that, in the moments before Buck's car makes its entrance with that swingy beat, there's a different beat going, for the high school kids. It switches instantly to the Buckmobile music, letting you know that there's a new guy in town, Buck and his car are here, big as life.
I love Uncle Buck. John Candy was perfect for the role. Love that classic 1977 Mercury Maquis Brogham. Classic car. When I'm 40 I want to drive around in a car like that with the shitty exhaust and everything and be Uncle Buck and smoke cigars just like Uncle Buck and make my money down at the dog tracks just like Uncle Buck. Uncle Buck is my idol in life.
I think I could make a good Uncle Buck. I'm 51, weigh about 270 lbs, 5' 10", just need a trench coat to go with one or more of my fedoras. Another guy who could do it: Thomas F. Wilson. He'd be PERFECT!!
Couch on wheels were what America sold in the 70's,now the Germans sell them for $120K. If you were blindfolded you wouldnt be able to tell the difference in ride comfort from a 70's Ford LTD, Chrysler or Cadillac against a new Mercedes S-Class
All the oil in the shocks has leaked out due to wear, therefore there is no suspension dampening left, just out of control springs, up and down, boing boing.
I was born in 1994; five years after this film came out and the year John Candy passed away. It sucks his career was tragically cut short. He was a true comedy legend.
¡¡This is a masterpiece!! And I'm totally serious. The comedy, the drama, the actors, the atmosphere... Everything is just perfect. A touching and extremely funny movie
A lot of 80's kids wanted to dress older & futuristic from their hippie parents 20 years prior. New Wave, techno, metal, ska, and a few bright colors off pop music. No internet, no smart phones.
Only the "preppies" dressed like that. Regular kids wore jeans. Nobody liked the preps then and nobody likes them now. I was there...graduated high school in 1986.
Java is when he's drying the clothes on the ceiling fan & microwaving socks! This is a different piece of music. Does anybody know what it's called or who it's by? The same piece of music is used for when Buck is doing the pancakes for Miles' birthday. Anybody out there know who it's by?
I love this man so much. He’s a huge part of what I think is the funniest movie ever made, spaceballs. I really really wish the forces that be would have allowed john more time on this earth. I think the world would have been better for it. We all miss you So john candy. But we sure as hell will never forget you
mom had this type of car creme yellow with skirts stopped starting on a whim the dealer took it back, stranded her 1 to many times,it was a gangster car. bought a cavalier to replace it.
I remember years ago when I first met my best friend he started calling me uncle buck. I hadn’t seen the movie and for years he said I needed to. After watching it I take it as one of the highest compliments I’ve ever been given.
I love at the end of the movie where Bucks girlfriend says he's getting a new company car on Monday and he says "The hell I am the beast is good for another 100,000 miles" I guess that car has some sort of sentimental value to Buck
You know the name of the track that plays as he drives down past the school? It's a little like Ray Anthony which plays when Miles is washing the pots the night before but it's not that track. Driving me mad! It's not Perry Como or Lavern Baker either!
@@alexdelarge5373 I just stumbled across this comment I made on another account 5 years ago and saw your reply but no, man, I don't..but I wish I did though. It's an awesome tune.
I've been trying to find out the name of the song or artist but no luck ! It does sound like Ray Anythony. I've gone through quite a few of his songs but still no luck at all. I've tried song identifying apps but still nothing! I was hoping by coming on somewhere like here that somebody might know but it seems that nobody does! 😂
Yz250f Master Holy crap I am DYING laughing at that mental image! And I have one to match-the local mall I hung out at growing up had a parking deck in the back with these bizarre metal joins that, when driven over just right, sounded like a shotgun going off from downstairs. I can’t tell you how many times I heard that and hit the deck just in case it WAS some maniac with a shotgun!
That car was only 12 years old when the movie came out. It'd be like if a movie came out today and the character drove a 2009. Lol, it wouldn't have quite the same effect.
JELH My grandfather born in 1916 hated British cars with a passion. He was a mechanic in WW2 so I trust what he told my dad by default 😂 if it wasn’t American or Mercedes (not even BMW), he didn’t seem to trust it. Sad he was 81 years older than me we could’ve had interesting discussions.
