I love this movie and it's so underrated. It shows what a talented director can do in the back lot of movie studio (I've been on this street) with a solid cast and a simple story that is completely character driven. It's a classic because it's about aspects of human nature that never change, so here it is 33 years later and it's still funny. Thirty years from now it will still be funny.

@sarahwhite4906 Жыл бұрын

Spot on. I loved this movie as a kid, and I'm never surprised how much I still love it to this very minute. The aspects of boredom, curiosity, paranoia, (especially within the confines of a suburban cul de sac), are a study in sociology. That said, it's also hilarious! Imagine a 10 year old (me) yelling "What have you got in the cellar, Herr Klopek?!" at random. Bruce Dern is the M.V.P. of the film.

Yesssss!!! I absolutely love The Burbs!!! Fun Fact: The Burbs was filmed on the Universal backlot; in particular the Colonial Street area. This area of the backlot has been used as the location for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (both series & film), Gremlins, Dragnet (which I recommend you watch), Sabrina The Teenage Witch & House of 1000 Corpses etc. Most famously, Colonial Street was the location of 1313 Mockingbird Lane; home of The Munsters. In The Burbs, Corey Feldmans character lives in The Munster House. More recently, Colonial Street has been used as the location for Wisteria Lane in Desperate Housewives, as well appearing as the location for music videos from the likes of The Offspring, Bring Me The Horizon, Boxcar Racer & Nelly. Also, Brother Theodore (Ruben Klopek) was the voice of Gollum in the animated version of The Hobbit & Return of The King.

The old man with the poodle is Gale Gordon, longtime foil of Lucille Ball on her TV series as "Mr. Mooney" [The Lucy Show 1962-68 and "Harry Carter" [Here's Lucy 1968-74]. He was about 83 in this movie and passed away in 1995. Many other TV shows as well. Our Miss Brooks for example. But it's Bruce Dern that kills me laughing in this picture. Henry Gibson, the Doctor, is a comedian and veteran of movies and TV show, esp the Rowan and Martin's Laugh In show from 1968-73. He also appeared as the Nazi Leader in the Blues Brothers, 1980. Young Tom Hanks dod a lot of comedy movies before becoming "TOM HANKS" the mega star. But he had done the more memorable "Big" and "Nothing in Common" in the late 1980's.

I was really hoping you would do The Burbs. For pure fun, Probably my favourite Tom hanks film.. Loved Bruce Dern in this film, About a 9 on the tension scale.. Tom Hanks actually admitted he was a a little bit of a deva on set at the beginning of this film. He was just entering his Oscar serious phase and and was making rather uncool slightly arrogant suggestions to the director Dante , like cut/sack his onscreen kid out of the movie and making the script darker for his character who in his mind ,was having a nervous break down because because he had secretly lost his job. He actually plays this character out at the beginning.. Great Idea but I like the lighter approach they went with in the end. Still as always great reaction from you two. Ps.. I'd love to see your reaction to Buba Ho Tep..

This is one of my favorite "B" movies. I saw this in the theater at a matinee on a rainy Saturday afternoon (crazy I remember that!) and I wasn't in love with it but after the movie I felt for the matinee price and the kind of day it was...it was money and time well spent! After that, back in the day before everything being on demand, I never sought out to watch this movie but on nights when I couldn't get to sleep and I stumbled across this on TV and I hadn't seen it in a while, it was a great happenstance. Thing is, Joe Dante is one of my favorite directors! But, while I really like this movie it's one of my least favorites of his. Gremlins is my favorite! Followed by Gremlins 2 Innerspace Explorers Looney Tunes: Back In Action Small Soldiers Twilight Zone: The Movie (his segment along with the bookends were the best parts of the movie!) Then The Burbs Matinee And I've never seen The Howling... Best Regards!

My pet theory is that Rumsfield isn't an actual Vietnam vet, but a guy who either 1) got rejected or 2) dodged but felt left out afterward and decided to immerse himself into the persona & went into army surplus sales to complete the act and live the lie. Because he exhibits none of the competence or equipment of an actual experienced soldier. Joe Dante confirmed that he made his money from weapons sales, but didn't say if he was a legitimate veteran.

I can’t remember if it was the original intention but they took it out or if it’s actually in the movie that Tom Hanks’ character got fired before the movie began and hasn’t told his wife yet and that’s why he’s home all day pretending it’s a vacation and eventually going a little nuts. Am I making that up?

No, it was a deleted subplot. The footage only survives in the workprint which is available on the Shout! Factory Blu-ray. The late great Kevin McCarthy did a one-shot appearance as his boss in the nightmare sequence. There's also an alternate ending where Carrie Fisher admits that she knew he was fired the whole time from the night the came home from work when they're standing out on the street.
