Good point, I hadn’t thought about that

'Laughter is the best medicine.' Which is actually pretty insulting to Penicillin...

In one of these videos they claim that the extras didn't get to hear the lines in a rehearsal so it was the first time they heard the lines and they were trying to keep a straight face

I believe even Michael Palin was on the edge of breaking out in laughter, when he said Biggus Dickus to the last guard.

It's not like it was a Strad or a vintage Les but I get ya.

@@Joesmoothdog A period correct Martin is a little more important than a vintage Les. The American guitar is something that Martin can almost exclusively claim credit for since they are the only period manufacturer left and without the cross bracing popularized by Martin, the Les may not even exist.

Thought when I watched it this acting is not in line with her character, kinda took me out of the moment tbh

it's... just an object. Nothing more.

@@lawrencefrost9063 When you start calling things" just that", or "just a thing", it doesn't take long to cheapen life. Humans have made great things, nothing wrong with appreciating them.

Correct

yeah its kinda stupid, like maybe 5 people on earth, if they were paying close attention, would have realised it was a fake, just make a dummy guitar and use that jesus...

It's Tarantino. 'nuff said.

It made the scene more real and relatable..

Ah, yes. The genius of Peter Sellers. I remember seeing that movie as a kid with my dad. At some point I was laughing so hard, I couldn't breathe! Great stuff.

The funniest Peter Sellers scene I remember is that of him playing and Indian extra during the in-movie shooting of a remake of Gunga Din. His Indian character would play "the bugle man who refused to die". The movie was The Party.

One of my earliest comedy memories is Inspector Clouseau fighting his valet Kato in his apartment. One of the funniest things ever.

Wrong

There's a really cute documentary about it. He was kind of cajoled into the part, but had to train her for real, and she was NOT doing well. His mom was a dancer and instructor and he knew just how hard you have to work to do it right. She was not giving it her all an it was insulting to him. They were also working like 20 hour days.

You should watch the rush hour outtakes. Or any jackie chan movie Outtakes

NO Please NO .

You're a fake internet rumor...

Definitely NOT FAKE. John Cleese told how this came to be; they had a very low budget for the movie, and were running out fast. When this scene was going to be recorded, they told they extras they had to keep a straight face, or they wouldn't GET PAID (not fired)... They told them it was crucial for them not to laugh "because it was a serious scene"... 🤪 And then they proceeded to try and get them to break (...for comedy, but also for financial purposes :)) The coconuts instead of horses were also because of budget restraints - renting so many horses was too expensive, and the coconuts proved to be funnier anyway. There's several interviews (on youtube, even) in which John Cleese mentions these things. And I believe there is a longer video where they describe the process of making the entire movie Look up a couple interviews - you'll see. I forget which exact interviews, but the ones by Conan, Graham Norton, Steven Colbert are worth watching either way

@@nickpond9337don't worry man. Read my reply to this dude

@@MasterofPubertyExactly. It's definitely true. Dude in the video just told it wrong; the extras were not getting fired if they laughed... But they were not getting paid ;) (see my longer explanation in my previous comment)

I guess is the Space 1999' Maya, actress Catherine Schell

@@Puppetnation71yes it is

Right! They are not even extras, they are comedy actors whose names are in the opening credits - Charles McKeown and Chris Langham.

Miscommunication : Kurt was high 🙂

“All four of them were in the same company in the 29th division, but we split them up after the Sullivan brothers died” A company consists of four platoons of around 35 man each, and mostly train and then work separately. It might be they haven’t met during this hectic war time

I worked in the same office with an old friend for 4yrs. I still haven't seen him since 8th grade.

@@XmanSully Except they had a picture of all of them together.

@@joelvaldez8688 ok then f**k it😝😝😝 I admit, though I have seen this movie many times, I missed this specific detail. I’ll sure as shiznit notice it next time I’ll watch. Till then I have to accept what you’re saying

I wonder how many people caught that tiny plot hole.

You mean Chandler Bong? That guy?

@@orionred2489 Chanandler Bong hahaha

For me, it was that they could not deviate from the norm. Everyone just HAD to push that guy into a box. But that box was for typical people, which this kid wasn't. He ended up dead because he was undiagnosed.

@@orionred2489 that too is an aspect of this characters development. Someone outside of the norm being pressed into a rigid system that requires of you to function in a certain way. Collectivism at its worst, but needed so that society as a whole may survive at times ... well not in vietnam or iraq or afhganistan or any other none territorial defense situation. Those are rather so ressources can be traded with farorable prices and shit that was produced sold to pacified markets.

@@kinngrimm I understand your point. I disagree with the idea that the needed outcome was for every person who was randomly chosen to be forced into the sausage press.The Marines would have been better off without all of that mess. There was a problem telling intentional non-compliance with neuro problems, so they just punished him.

@@orionred2489 I guess nowadays armies which are not currently in a war, have the luxury to better screen their soldiers for mental abilities or lack of them. We are still in the process in learning how the brain works. Just this year i saw one science news that layed out how newly found parts of brain cells were researched and how many more things they still don't understand about the brain. There are also quantum effects being researched now that take place in the brain. I don't really know this stuff in detail, just heared about it. I just remembered because back then it gave me the chuckles as i was just then in a debate with a transhumanist who claimed how easy it would be to up- and download ourselves one day onto chips. Besides that there are signs pointing to materials used may have effects on the entity, meaning it makes a difference of the nature of the beast of it is based on carbon or silicon, biological or inorganic. Which would lead to a change in persona due to the transfer from one medium to another. So whatever was downloaded will not be the same entity after it is uploaded again. Anyways :)

I'd loveva link, plus, I'd like to know what you edited about your original comment hmmmm? Lol 😇

I happen to agree. During filming of a sound scene, nobody moves on the set except the crew and then only if it's a tracking shot. No props would be carried anywhere during a take.

Thisssss😢

Ever heard of motion-capture?

I'm with ya. I laugh more at almost every other scene from that movie.

Biggus always was a vewy good Woman fwiend. He commanded many Woman Legions. Kwack legions. He wanks the highest as anyone in Wome.

For the love of God, stop watching already

4:50

Remember, he potentially had that misdiagnosed brain issue, making it hard for him to possibly control his emotions, string of thought, and or sense of reality, so, in a way, you're partially right possibly, but at the same time, it woukd almost be like an accident if he wasn't in a coherent leveled state of mind, i am just talking out of my ass technically...only pulling from bits and pieces I've heard...so let me know what you think, but it's definitely a tragedy and a significant loss to our universe! Good luck to us all, and I hope everyone keeps their senses of humor 😁
