Seconding or thirding on A Mighty Wind, a much larger cast (including these three) and they all play their own instruments, demonstrating considerable musicianship at that (and impressive to those of us with folk-acoustic sensibilities). One of the songs from the film was Oscar nominated (justly so, IMO). The core songs were written by Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean, as they were forced to drive long distance across North America during the grounding of flights in the week following the 9/11 attacks.

Roger Ebert, the noted film critic, said of the film that it’s really two films going on at the same time. What the band thinks is happening and what is REALLY happening during the tour. The real film is happening around the edges of the frame or in the background and the filmmakers expect you to catch on to that.

@melenatorr Жыл бұрын

Yes, the serious tone is in the background at the start, but the clues to their fall starts very early, at least as early as the opening party. Then there are statements like the Boston gig falling through but not to worry because "it isn't a big college town"; and a big note for us comes when Fran Drescher's character says that if the previous album had been a hit, then the controversy about the current album cover wouldn't matter. Little by little reality creeps further to the forefront. Janine's presence only exacerbates what's already happening.

@christopherschreiber5805 3 жыл бұрын

This movie's hysterical. I love how they had the time to write songs and teach Christopher Guest how to play piano (I think), but apparently couldn't give him 30 seconds of basic guitar tech talk. If you feel like looking for it there's actually an episode of The Simpsons where Bart has dreams of being a rock star after he goes to a Spinal Tap concert. I'm pretty sure everyone does their own voices too. Funny as hell.

@AlanCanon2222 3 жыл бұрын

Then, the Christopher Guest mockumentaries followed suit (although I think that they may have developed some of their dialogue in rehearsal, without cameras necessarily rolling for every run-through). The actors can develop their own backstories. I imagine that for a given scene, the actors would know where they had to end up in terms of plot or exposition, then were given liberty to get there by their own paths.

I just watched a David Letterman interview with the band from 1984, and the cleared that up. While they did some improvising during the one-on-one interviews, the group interviews had material they loosely worked out in advance. Like the band's history of drummers, they all had to know the story before they filmed, including Reiner.

@MadMattInc1 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting fact, they made this film. The reaction was so great that the creators decided to officially become a band and play the characters on stage while making real albums. Sadly there was a lot of legal BS that kept the guys from constantly using the name, or from the chance of making a second movie. Finally after about 8 years of court fights, the creators got control of the music, the movie, and are properly being paid for it all again.

Look up "black sabbath stonehenge". Sabbath ordered a set piece of a stonehenge for their upcoming tour, as they had just released an album that had a song on it called Stonehenge - but the designers mistook the size written out as metres instead of feet, so it was huge - way too big to take on the road. They used it once and then just left it behind at the venue for the rest of the tour. This happened before this movie was released, but after the scene was filmed. What a weird coincidence.

These are the best three, but then he also did For Your Consideration about an awards show and then for Netflix he did Mascots about a mascot competition. These are all mockumentaries and star many of the same actors such as Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara (from Schitt's Creek), Harry Shearer, and Fred Williard who you saw in Spinal Tap just to name a few.

The cold sores are from a sub plot about the opening act which was dropped from the final version of the film. Before Spinal Tap, Nigel Tufnel was a member of Lenny and the Squigtones (Michael McKean was in that band too, but he was Lenny...)

The actor who plays Nigel Tufnel is Christopher Guest who is Brisith and holds a hereditary British peerage as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. However, the two other band members are American - Michael McKean plays David St. Hubbins and Harry Shearer plays Derek Smalls. There are two other notable British actors in the cast - Tony Hendra plays band manager Ian Faith and Patrick Macnee plays Sir Denis Eton-Hogg. Macnee and Diana Rigg starred in the 1960s British television series "The Avengers".

I love how these guys are saying that the actors are doing the "easy" British accent, and yet their accent sounds exactly the same. 😂

In the 60s there were a couple of folk groups who had issues with names. The Christy Minstrels and the New Christy Minstrels, The Seekers and The New Seekers. The Rolling Stones once got lost and missed a concert (not backstage though). Just a couple more real-life references.

The guitarist Nigel Tufnel's look was based on Jeff Beck. Beck said "Maybe the look, but not the personality." Also see the 2 Beatles mockumentaries about The Rutles produced by Eric Idol and Lorne Michaels (SNL) - All You Need Is Cash, and Can't Buy Me Lunch. On the DVD of this movie, the audio commentary track is by the band in character.

Christopher Guest is actually British (although he grew up mostly in America). He's also a Baron and was active in the House of Lords until it was reduced in 1999.

@6:50 There is supposedly a cut scene where they all get herpies from the same girl and this would have been the scene that followed. Also, Metallica were so impressed by the "Black Album" that they decided to release one.

There's so many facts about this movie I recently found and never knew for years, all the obvious guest spots, Howard Hessmen, Fran, Paul Shaffer, now I'm drawing blanks but limo driver and the Stonehenge designer are accomplished actors, and the mimes are Billy Crystal and Dana Carvey.

There's too many different things about this movie that make it so great. The actors playing the band are actually improvising some of their interview scenes, they composed the music and performed it themselves, or the fact that actual touring musicians didn't know it was a spoof because they so accurately depicted life on the road. The best parts are the stories about how each former Drummer died.

I love this movie. It’s a Line-O-Rama movie with so many memorable lines. I love all of the outside interviews. The album reviews, like of Shark Sandwich. “There was just a two word review: ‘Shit sandwich’”. The guitarist is like “you can’t print that!” So good! Also when they’re talking about touring and say they played the “Isles Of Lucy”. LOL! This movie is an all-time favorite.

Nice job, guys. Enjoyed watching very much. Here’s another bit of Spinal Tap trivia for you: In the “Mime is money” scene where Billy Crystal is impatiently giving instructions to his subordinate, look very closely at the blonde fellow he’s addressing. That blonde guy is in fact a very young Dana Carvey, who would go on to become one of SNL’s greatest performers circa the late-80s/early-90s. (Most younger folks might possibly remember him for portraying Garth Algar in the “Wayne’s World” SNL sketch and film series.)

So this came out in 84, but had to have been in production for at least a couple of years previously. I can't help but think of this as a companion piece to "The Wall" from two years earlier. While this is a comedy, I can easily imagine the premise as played seriously: The "documentary" shows Pink as the destroyer of his own band. The label asks them to keep pushing into edgier territory, with him doing the Fascist Dark Lord persona and his bandmates are going "Whoa, slow down there!" owing to the implications.

The story is told that Ozzie Osborne saw this movie and didn't realize it was a spoof because it was so realistic. And gotta love Chris Guest who went on to be in Princess Bride and could count to 11 on his fingers. And if you watch for it, Rob Reiner's hat is in the boy's bedroom in that movie.

It's nice to see that you both comprehend the historical and cultural references and sarcastic biting humor as it relates to life and situations in general. This film is basically lost on the younger generation in America as they have no capacity and intelligence of the past but rather seem to be mired in an endless present.

Funny you should say it could be an SNL skit, because after this movie, two of the leads, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer joined the cast of SNL for one season. They even had a film on SNL featuring The Folksmen (including Michael McKean aka David St. Hubbins), who would later feature in the mockumentary A MIGHTY WIND.
