21:14 That’s Stephen Fry! I didn’t realize he was in this. It’s been years since I’ve seen it. Another bit of trivia, Portia was played by Cynthia Cleese, daughter of John Cleese and Connie Booth.

OMG....look at that little cutie-patootie that popped in at the end. How precious is sheeee??? 🥰

Miserere Domine, Canis mortus est. from the funeral choir gets me every time. “Show mercy oh lord, the dog is dead.”

The fact this won an Oscar for Kevin kline still gives me hope for the oscars

You didn't pick up on the final joke -- "fin" is French for "the end," but it's also a pun, since the movie involved fish.

The best part of this movie is Kevin Kline as Otto. And seeing how John Cleese and Michael Palin are also in this movie, that's saying something.

NEVER eat the green ones! So glad you enjoyed the movie - such a classic! I swear no dogs or fish were harmed in the making of it...

Yeah, the two Monty Python guys are great in it, but this is also my all-time favorite Kevin Kline performance too.

This cast teamed up again to do another movie called "Fierce Creatures". I think It is just as good. You should enjoy that also in our future.

For years I had Kevin Kline's first "Asshoooole!" exclamation as the system alert sound on my old Macintosh. It did include the sound of the screeching tires. Perfect.

Silver Streak (1976) is a similar kind of comedy/crime/romance, except it mostly takes place on a train. Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh, Richard Pryor.

I don't know if there's a connection, but Archibald Leach was Cary Grant's real name before he legally changed it. Grant was born in England. The film which may be relevant was "Talk of the Town" (1942) in which he played the role of Leopold Dilg. The film also stars Jean Arthur, Ronald Colman, Edgar Buchanan, and Rex Ingram. It's a legal comedy-drama, or at least centres on the law - practical versus strictly theoretical. One of my favourite films.

Check out Jamie-Lee's dad Tony in "Some Like it Hot" (1959), with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemon.

This is the 3rd or 4th A Fish Called Wanda reaction I've seen where they didn't know who Kevin Kline was. Brilliant comedic actor, won best supporting actor for this. Also check out Soapdish, Dave and In & Out. 👍🏼

The running gag with the dogs had us in stitches. 😂😂😂

Kevin Kline won an Oscar for his performance.

Kevin Kline is an actor who was really big in the 1980s and 1990s, but his career kinda slowed down in the 2000s. He was in movies like The Big Chill, Silverado, French Kiss, Dave, and Wild Wild West.

That's what you needed. Glad to see you smile again. More British films & TV shows please.

Portia was a female heroine in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, who disguised herself as a male lawyer; Archie is a lawyer, so he possibly named her Portia on purpose.

I still remember I saw this in theaters when it first came out. I hadn't heard anything about it, only that John Cleese was in it. My expectations were pretty low and man, what a pleasant surprise! Great performances and script! Classic!

Thank goodness someone's finally found this great movie!

Kevin Kline is also brilliant in "The Big Chill" as well as Cole Porter in "De-Lovely".

Now you have to watch Fierce Creatures with the exact same cast.

Delighted you enjoyed it. It's time for Time Bandits imo (if you've not seen it). Also starring John Cleese and Michael Palin (albeit only as supporting roles) and directed by another python. I'd be very surprised if you didn't love it.

Loved this reaction and that you enjoyed it so much. It really is a fun film!

Michael Palin's father actually did have a bad stutter.

Dawn gets it. Love to see a reactor who is so in tune with the humour of the film.

You're awesome and your daughter is even awesomer. Keep up the fun reactions!!

My favourite comedy film.

I was also a big fan of those specific Python boys going in. I already loved Jamie and Kevin Kline. Saw it in the theater back in the day. I got all mushy for Archie and Wanda too.

This entire film came about from Cleese and Palin working on a skit about someone trying to get vital information from someone with a bad stutter. And that was the only scene the two of them shared.

She's gold.

Glad you liked it, it's a classic K K K Ken!!! 😂 LOL! Your little girl is precious, you're so blessed!!! 💕

Hi, have you looked at the tv series "fawlty towers" yet . Stared by your favorite!

Another one of my favorite movies, and a great fun reaction.

That is Jamie Leigh Curtis to us Americans, but she is The Right Honourable The Lady Haden-Guest to you!

RIP to the three Yorkies. And all of the fish in the tank. And, I suppose, the old lady.

John Cleese and Kevin Kline are also in the movie Silverado

Even though Kevin Kline was known for comedy, he steals this film, probably by playing it completely straight as the psychotic Otto West and won an Oscar for the role. He's also married to Phoebe Cates, the lucky devil.

Kevin Kline has a long history on Broadway and was in the stage and movie versions of The Pirates of Penzance, another fun one if you like musicals

Another great reaction.

Great reaction! I'm glad you enjoyed this one, I was eager to see it when it first came out because I'd also recently discovered Monty Python. Ditto checking out _Fierce Creatures_ as well, same people but in a zoo. Another fun spy thriller with Jamie Lee is _True Lies,_ but this would be the perfect month to watch _In & Out_ with Kevin Kline 🌈

Thank you, this is one of my top 5 favorite movies !!

Glad that you enjoyed this movie. Oh my. I saw that Stephen Fry was the guy Otto hits in the back of the head at the airport. "Look! The queen." Fun fact. John Cleese character Archie Leach is named for the real name of Cary Grant which is Archibald Leach. Cary Grant poked fun at his real name in His Girl Friday which is a classic black and white movie from 1940. His Girl Friday also pokes fun at Ralph Bellamy.

I worked in airport security when this movie was released. We tried that trick of throwing a gun outside of the metal detector. It doesn't work.

Michael Palin, professional scene stealer :)

Definitely a funny film!

Great movie and a real feel-good reaction :)

Hi, " Don't eat the green ones. They are not ripe, yet. ".

I was 14 and watched this movie in the cinema while on holiday with my parents in Lake Placid, New York. Not a great movie to watch with your parents, however this is one of my favorite films ever. I've probably watched this 100 times over the decades.

My sister lives in London, so everytime she visits the Fatherland (Finland; finally a member of NATO, yay!) she brings with her some authentic Twinings English Breakfast tea bags, which are those typical English style square ones without the string. The English use a special pair of tweezers so their tea bags never have a string attached. That is how you know, it is genuine English tea, robbed from a colony. God save the queen! At least, what is left of her.

"It's one of those, I could just start it again and just watch it all the way through again." And you would probably catch things you _missed_ the first time.

I'm glad you like it. So many reactors don't get the movie. I think a lot of Americans don't understand satire.

If you liked this one, check out Fierce Creatures - most of the same cast, and the same filmmakers. A hidden gem.

The joke about Otto shouting 'asshole' at other cars is because everyone else is driving on the wrong side of the road.

Yeah, us female types can be manipulative but it's often used in place of physical strength. Like lying about something so you don't get punched by someone who's a lot stronger. Wanda's on a whole other level, though. She's doing it for fun and profit.

The Princess Bride.

clockwise is a great John Cleese movie, u should watch :D

"Archie Leech" is the real name of classic movie star Cary Grant.

4:09 "I've done that before" - Well come on! We want to hear your story...

I loved Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver in "Dave."

An interesting, highly underrated movie is Nuns On The Run. I think you would enjoy that.

Kevin Kline is not used enough as a comedy actor. If you enjoyed him in this, you'd love Soapdish.

Another great reaction, thank you Dawn :) Your laughter is life-giving. If your list isn't long enough already (and assuming they aren't already on there, which they probably are) but Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy, aka Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End are must-watches. Edit: and Scott Pilgrim, also by Edgar Wright. As is Wallace And Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit (I'm gonna keep on plugging this film until you react to it, it's just that good). Bonus points if you can count the number of times I've commented about it when you do get around to it ;)

21:13 - Hey, it's him! That English guy! I didn't know he was in this.

Brilliant reaction.

*Monty Python's Flying Circus* largely filmed in *Bradford.* *Monty Python's Meaning of Life* partly filmed in *Bradford.* *A Fish Called Wanda* executive produced by *Steve Abbott* from *Bradford.* *Steve Abbott* is a co-owner of *Prominent Television* and *Prominent Features,* was the accountant for *Monty Python,* and was a co-manager of *Monty Python* from 1979 to 1997. *Ripping Yarns* was also partly filmed in *Bradford.*

I'm liking this one even before I watch it. I know this is going to be good :)

I never really cared for this movie, I liked watching you watch it. You have the best laugh.

Archie Leech is the real name of the old Hollywood actor Cary Grant. Now you have to do "Fierce Creatures" featuring most of this cast, as well as many other well known comic actors.

i love how you smile so hard with you cheeks you can hardly talk!

Michael Palin makes the best hit man. 😆

Loved your reaction for a Fish Called Wanda. It's a pleasure to watch your KZfaq videos, you're so adorably cute. There's a screwball comedy from the 1970's called "What's Up, Doc" that I believe you'll enjoy. That and most Mel Brooks comedies, like Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, Blazing Saddles, and Spaceballs.

Since you enjoyed "Blazing Saddles" which is a parody, and "A Fish Called Wanda" which is a straight up comedy, let me recommend two other Mel Brooks films. "Young Frankenstein"(1974) directed by Brooks and co-written by Brooks and Gene Wilder, is a parody of classic black and white monster/horror films, especially of the 1931 "Frankenstein" and its sequels. It stars Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn (Lily von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles), Teri Garr, Marty Feldman (whom I'm sure you know from many UK sketch comedy programs), and Cloris Leachman. "The Producers"(1967) was written and directed by Mel Brooks, and it won him the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It stars the brillliant Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder (in his first leading role in a movie), and has a wonderful supporting cast, notably Ken Mars and Dick Shawn. Make sure to watch the 1967 original, not the film of Brooks's musical version. In 2001 Brooks adapted The Producers into a multiple Tony Award winning musical. It was nominated in eleven categories, and won in all of them. But the 2005 film adaptation of the musical is a poor shadow of the Broadway show. On the American Film Institute list of 100 greatest American comedies Blazing Saddles is #6, The Producers is #11, and Young Frankenstein is #13. BTW, #1 is the 1959 classic "Some Like It Hot." "Some Like It Hot" is considered to have one of the greatest comedy scripts ever written. Directed by the great Billy Wilder, it stars Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis (Jamie Leigh's dad), and Marilyn Monroe.

Just saw your reaction video... The first time I saw this movie, the film had been out in theaters for a week and I took a girl that looked like you! I was not expecting the movie to be good but it was fantastic! We both had a nice time.

Check out Kevin Kline in "In and Out" , one of the best 90s comedies

I’m so glad you took my suggestion to heart although I’m sure I’m not the only reason. Other people must have suggested this as well.

Two more movies that are very Monty Python-esque are "Time Bandits" and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen". Both from the mind of (written and directed by) Terry Gilliam of Monty Python who is easily one of the most underrated directors in Hollywood. And both movies star many Python alums (Time Bandits more than Baron). Time Bandits is about the adventures of a little boy and time marauding little people. And Baron is an equally wild imaginative journey but about a little girl and a famed adventurer named Baron Munchausen. I promise you'll enjoy both and have never seen anything like them so please do reactions to each! p.s. - adorable daughter.

Fun fact. Cary Grant's real name was Archie Leach. I would like to think that this was an homage to him. He was born and bred in England.

I can't wait to catch your reactions to the Fawlty Towers series. I hope you'll get the set and go through them one by one - They are all hilarious - Cleese at his finest, with a very good cast.

I just read up on the movie on Wikipedia, and apparently during a screening of the movie in 1989 a Danish audiologist did a Chrysippus and died from laughter. John Cleese apparently thought about using that for the marketing, but thought it was in bad taste.

Kevin Kline made this movie called "Dave", I highly recommend it. It is a comedy.

It's a rom-com, but I liked Kevin Kline in French Kiss with Meg Ryan.

The tormenting of the late Patricia Hayes (and the slow reduction in her pet dogs) is the bit I always looks forward to, but maybe I'm a psychopath.

I watched this with my sister, then my gf, then my brother back when it came out, it was addictive

Clockwise is hilarious starring John Cleese

Isn't Portia played by Cleese's daughter with Connie (who turned him into a newt) Booth?

They kinda did a sequel to this, with many of the same actors. Fierce Creatures i think its called, and you should definitely put on your watch list.

Ohhh, my Scottish girl again!!! I love your (reaction) videos. Kiss from Vienna, Austria! 🙂👍🧡

Another great feel good comedy is "Crocodile" Dundee, it was the second biggest hit in 1986! 🥰

12 December 2022 Kevin Kline and John Cleese in the movie Silverado a serious Western it's really Top Notch good.

The whole team did a another movie together "Fierce Creature's" plus lots of other well known actors.

I forgot that it ends with "Fin".

To see Kevin Kline in a great western, check out "Silverado" --John Cleese has a small role, too. And another, star-studded (morbid) comedy, "I Love You To Death."

You might also enjoy Fawlty Towers tv series with John Cleese and, his then wife Connie Booth. Great videos Keep `em coming.

Thank you for a very good reaction. You're a pleasure to watch. Just saw another comment. OMG would you love Fawlty Towers.

They kept the same cast, and made another movie Fierce Creatures. Just as good as this on.

I saw it the last time just a couple of weeks ago, still several things I didn't recognize. Wonder how drunk I was. Anyway, for some reason A Fish Called Wanda have never really caught on with me. But that said, if you liked it and want another Feel Good movie of the same character (and with several of the same actors, e.g. Cleese, Palin and Curtis), Fierce Creatures ought to be your next one. I personally like that one better.

Love this Movie. Got to add Drop Dead Fred to the list!!

You really need to watch some Fawlty Towers. Best sitcom of all time, written by and starring John Cleese and Connie Booth.
