Uncle Buck's Jalopy Mercury 

When I was kid (5) I absolutely loved this car. The smoke, the backfire, even the shot shocks. I wanted it so bad when I was to grow up.

Don’t know why but him barreling through the school zone at sonic speed always has me dying every single time 😂

Anyone who's ever owned a beater car can definitely relate to this video.

I loved the ending scene that involved the car. Chanece: tell your neighbors I’m sorry this thing had to park in your driveway. He’s getting a new company car this week. Buck: like hell I am! That thing’s good for another hundred thousand miles!

I had a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am as my first car. It would diesel when it shut it off and shoot a massive fireball out the exhaust. Sounded like a .50 cal going off. I remember one of my friends referenced this movie and we were dying laughing

the James Brown scream before the backfire hahaha i'm dead

I love how the rear shocks are just nonexistent 😂

The way the couple says “Your cars on fire” in such calm voices gets me every time 😆

No offense to the Batmobile, Bond's Aston Martin, the Trans-am from Smokey and the Bandit, or Doc Brown's DeLorean, but this is the greatest car in the history of cinema.

The entire movie was a riot! I've seen it several times but never get tired of it. I'm so sorry John Candy is no longer with us!

I love how the car is around 10 years old and is completely trashed, engine worn out and body rusted. You would have to seriously neglect a modern car to have that happen.

to me this movie wouldn't been half as funny if Buck drive a well maintained car.

I've had Jags with oil leaks and rusty tail pipes, it's classic; roadrage from anyone and you can smokescreen them with a little gas. "Your car's on fire." "Nahh it's just a little oil."

Buck abruptly leaving Bug in all that smoke cracks me up every time lol

0:54 No matter how many times I see this part, I always laugh my a** off. 🤣

FOR THOSE WHO SAY ITS A LINCOLN: the hood ornament on the Lincoln and mercury is basically the same, but the headlights have crowns on them, making it a mercury. They were the same car anyway

I just noticed the "Abandoned Auto" tag on it haha

Imagine a car like this today 😂. Burning oil, bad shocks, gasket gone, knocking...

I'd buy that 1975 Mercury Marquis off of his hands for $12,000. I'm a guy who's mostly into 70's vehicles, 80's, 90's even the 2000's! Also a couple from the 1940's and 50's. But what really like about it is the suspension, probably seems pretty fun to rock it side to side actually. People may think this beautiful sedan is "ugly" and "outdated" per say, but I say that it's pretty cool looking and I don't care what people think.

*The Beast* 🚗💨

I loved bucks car man r.i.p John candy you absolute legend I wish you were still around

I too have become a guy that pulls up to the front no matter the location.

1:01 *Ezal* "ohhh I'm shot!!"😂

One of the all time great movie cars.

That man was a god!! Try that these days. When he pulled right up to the front door.

My best part of this classic movie. The smokin Mercury car got my attention.😇💙

Let’s be honest who doesn’t want a cannon in their tailpipe?

My great uncle owned a 77 Thunderbird too. Its basically the same, the mercury Lincoln and Ford's, but his was like riding on a cloud. So much woodgrain, leather, nice am/FM radio, it actually got ok gas milage, one of the sliding headlights didn't work, it was stuck up. Same color, white landau top. Got wrecked in an accident and scrapped. You can get these bad boys for under $5000 good condition easy. I daily drive a 1937 Pontiac silver streak to highschool haha. It backfired until I swapped out the spark plugs then it was good

I used to drive a 10th gen Thunderbird that bounced up and down just like this Marquis, if my mom saw me on the street or was driving behind me she would always remind me of how funny the car looked from the outside just jumping around : D

2:33 i feel good, i knew that i would.

Man I want that shit wagon so bad

Favorite movie car of all time right there!

John Candy was a legend

A 1975 - 1978 Mercury Marquis two door... I thought these cars were actually attractive back in the day.

He'd better hope he never has to park that thing outside a military base. They'd think they were under attack!

Say what you will, the thing fired every time after no more than half a crank

Just bought a 78' Grand Marquis 4dr its not uncle bucks but still pretty fun and reminds me of the movie.

I noticed in some shots he has a cb antenna.. 102 inch whip. Side mount.. More then respectable for a radio enthusiast even today for that band

My fav movie car aside from the Green Machine in Planes Trains and Automobiles... They must've purposely loosened the head bolts for this one !!!

You either own that car, or you OWN it.

1977 Mercury Marquis Brougham 2 door.

Let's seeA couple things, blown headgasket, rod knock, burning oil, soft suspension, couple pistons not firing, (likely spark plugs) also it's winter, so more smoke

I miss them big old beasts. Fun to drive. Roomy and comfortable.

When your car is really high on gas and park it There goes the bang Lol 😆 🚗💨 😆

YOUR CAR’S ON FIRE!

Wonder whatever happened to that thing, probably sitting in a back lot somewhere.

I want this car irl,i would absolutely love it, the trashed motor, thrashed shocks and the bodywork itself is a work of art

I love how happy he looked when he called the backfire after they pulled up to school... that happy "YEAH!" gets me every time!

Love that scene when they are rolling up past and into the school drop off .....POW

People today would pay hundreds of dollars for that flame tune he has 🤣🤣😂

The true car of OG's

0:24 Anybody gonna talk about him pulling up to the school like a bat outta hell?! Lolol he was PUSHIN that Mercury. “She’s faster than she looks.”

I had a mercury that ran like shit like this fer years, one day I tore the engine down an rebuilt it an it didn't wanna run enymo. So I tore it back down an put alot of the old parts back in it an the thang ran like shit, but never overheated, an would fire up an go in any weather. Paid 20 bucks fer it an a carton of Marlboro reds fer it back in 05. Drove it til 2015 when someone decided to set it on fire. When I found out who dun it I stole his brand new Escalade and I sold it to a chop shop fer twenty bucks an a carton of Marlboro blend number 27's.

0:24 I never realised before just how fast that car is travelling...! He is really shifting it...😲👌😉

One of my friends first car was a 79 Lincoln with bad shocks!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 That thing would bounce for days!!

Id like to see that car blowing smoke all over driving in California

Probably used sea foem for the filming of the car

Good ol days of leaded gas yes kids lead in the gas

I had a car that dieseled like that. Didn't backfire though lol

I'm still trying to figure out how that car backfire and make that loud bang like it did in the movie. Lol 😂 make people fall over like goats that pass out and then back on their feet.

I can imagine John Candy using that steering knob

I remember hearing the Director kept the car I knew one of John Candy’s distant relative even he had a heart like John to remember real life could be funny but also sad but live it to the full

My first car back in 2013 was a triple blue 89 fleetwood. Had leaky valve cover gaskets and would diesel every time you shut it off and smoke. Loved that old car.

Got to love that car!😆😆

It probably took a ton of work to make that car run so poorly, and yet so consistently at the same time. It always had to start and run but look and sound like shit doing it.

back in the early 70,s in high school got a 1961 Chevy 4 door and a 283 engine it use about one quart of oil for every 500 miles exhaust broke off at the cross over pipe and later only had reverse but still drove it to school for a couple of months, at basket ball games we made sure it was parked next to other teams bus at the end of game so they had perfect blue smoke drifting in the bus

YT channel VEGA660 found a 78 Mercury Marquis in a junkyard and fixed it up as a tribute car to Uncle Buck. Great video of him getting it running again.

Now that's what I car a beater car

Comming in hot. Going out with a bang!

I’d love a mercury like uncle bucks, broken shocks included

My type of ride right there.

I love that shit box

What song is being played when he left Chicago that night. It’s not on the soundtrack and I can’t find it anywhere.

im trying to find me a car like this grew up watching this big fan of john candy and the car lol

my car smokes like that lmao its really bad

Lol probably everyone's idea of a car 🚗 to use with a bang 💥 to it LMFAO.😂

Hard to imagine, this is a 12 year old car in the movie. Imagine a remake in 2024 where Uncle Buck would show up in 2012 Ford Fusion (largest Ford sedan offered at the time)

The car is a legend!!!

1:01 1:09 1:30 2:04 2:32 Best One In The Whole Movie 😂

That car is a true marvel of engineering.

😆 that's all I can do is laugh

My pontiac 6000 wagon was like that and then i got a Forrester wagon and it still works to this day

Well, that's why these are called bangers

The actual car that was used is in Southern Kentucky. I forgot the guys name that owns it but it is on display, or was on display. Its somewhere around Cumberland Lake if im not mistaken. This also owns the REAL very first cayman car from the series.

Reminds me of my current car. Infiniti Q56. My shocks, so I came here to show my 14 year old how similar our car is to UB’s car 😂 I need a better car! The Similarities are uncanny !😂

I’ve owned a 1984 Crown Vic. We called it the blue Bomber

Barnaby Jones drove a brown 1973 Ford LTD 2 door coupe for several seasons of the tv show like Uncle Buck's Merc. Dependable model for a private eye. ;-)

Car on fire! Car on fire! Isn’t that Tesla motto?

How did they get it to smoke like this?

The quintessential MERC

Nah nah nah! It's just a little oil!!😂

i had a car like this. but it was a 1995 mazda xedos6 that i bought for 150 bucks. whenever i gave someone a ride, i would offer paintchips as a courtesy. i wouldn't take her beyond 3000 rpm, because that's when the valves started rattling. bmw drivers where scared of me. because what kind of a maniac would feel safe racing you in THAT. i felt like the king of the jungle, in a "mentally abused tiger" kind of way.

'77 Mercury Marquis. Blown head gasket, no shocks......classic

Yeah, they added a bunch of oil into the fuel system, removed the shocks to make it bounce. Do an in depth on John Candy.

I’ve been trying to find the engine turning off sound effect that happens at 1:54 does anybody know what it’s called or has a link to the sound effect?

Forgot about the 8ft CB whip antenna

What Is The Music That's Playing At 0:25 - 1:00 and 2:17 - 2:21?

The equivalent of my uncles, 1971 Pontiac Catalina🤣

“Just a little oil”
