Drugging a player? Clearly Len Bias meant nothing to them.

This movie is basically the comedic counterpart to "The Fan," another 1996 film about an obsessed fan who kidnaps an athlete. But that film is not played for laughs at all.

This movie really is rare. I remember seeing it once on HBO probably two decades ago, and that was it. It never seems to be on TV, never gets talked about, never gets referenced. For a movie that has recognizable actors and producers, it's surprisingly been nearly erased from popular culture.

When are you going to do Duckman!?

I absolutely love this movie and watch it at least a couple times a year! I have more or less memorized it by now. Another of my favorite movies from 1990 was Quickchange, and I love it still after finding out how Bill treated Geena which was unacceptably! (I will take Geena any day, especially in "Long Kiss Goodnight" which is Samuel L. Jackson's favorite Samuel L. Jackson movie!)

If James didn't tragically pass away and he kept acting, he would probably be considered one of the best, if not the best actor of all time

This movie was hilarious.

I loved this movie when I was a kid

Parody...

I love this movie. My best friend from high school and I still quote this movie to each other.

Your video is such a beautiful tribute. I'm an American who was lucky to see the BBC airings in the late 90's and instantly fell in love. (I still have my old VHS copies I taped off the tv.) I still constantly use quotes from the show - especially "Ah, GO ON"

You didn’t talk about Pokemon and the fact they sold video games in the store.

Oh, maybe, juuuuust maybe, he’s an asshole.

There was also no mention of Prof.John McCabe meeting them during their music hall tours in England and interviewing them for his book"Mr.Laurel & Mr.Hardy"..nor was there any mention of his creating the club..that still honors them..today"The Sons Of The Desert". And there was no mention of their making their last appearances on two tv shows"This Is Your Life"..and on film"This Is Music Hall".

Though it wasn't my pick, I saw this piece of crap in the theater. I can honestly say that I've never forgotten it. ...unfortunately.

I loved this movie. Still do!

I remember getting a Tasmanian Devil coffee mug at the WB store in the 90s

I liked sequal. It shows that adventures are not always fun and can really be dangerous.

Do the wizard of oz. There were tons of scenes cut and tons of versions of the script. One version of the script had the Wicked Witch creating a rainbow bridge to trick dorothy and using one of her guards to demonstrate it by killing him. Very gruesome compared to the final movie

I don't know why but I get the funny feeling that Shemp was definitely not Mel's favorite growing up. Considering the fact that they overexaggerated his phobias, made him look like he was a crack addict off his fix whenever he was around the Stooges, put him in the most embarrassing situations (aka the Wet the Bed scene which was completely unnecessary) and completely skimmed over the "Shemp" era as a whole. Didn't even bother to mention the "Fake Shemp" debacle. Definitely makes me feel his portrayal was biased to humiliate him as much as possible because Mel didn't like him but still knew he had to include him somehow. Although I have to say the jump cut to him with the Stooges to his funeral was so hilariously bad it makes me feel bad for laughing due to being so funny without context. Personally though, Moe banishing Shemp to the Shadow Realm would've been better pacing than whatever the funeral scene was.

Excellent

It was tough back in the day for producer and director to please Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert. Now everyone is critic. Millions of contradictory critics.

Loved this movie

I actually liked the score for the movie

Gene, May you rest in peace

Clearly theyre chronic gamblers but they couldnt say that so instead theyre just weird superfans

Even the series wasn’t good. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Thank you for sharing❤ Sending you love in the field☀

I was born in 81, so I remember this vividly. The Flintstones was a show our parents watched. It wasn't the hip new thing that kids were all into at the time. It had lasting appeal with baby boomers who passed some of that onto their kids, but it's like passing a love of Star Wars onto your kids today. It's not their generation's thing. It's that thing your dad watched, you know? Outside of my parents, I was familiar with it because of various TV specials, and I believe it was on syndication, but not at a time I would normally watch. Anyway, why wouldn't they include some adult plot lines in the film? Half the appeal was baby boomer nostalgia. My mom certainly explained to me about how it was geared towards both kids and adults. I don't know why critics would've expected it to be a simple plot for little kids.

Larry was the out of pocket stooge before that was a thing

It's not fair to blame Joe Besser if you don't like the material he was in. He was practically the only option the Stooges had, which wasn't his fault, and there wasn't any effort being put in by Columbia. How many of his scenes weren't even written for him?

You're right about the actors being perfect for these roles. I was most surprised by Sean Hayes! He was so good as Larry.

This movie looks like an extended length commercial for Cedar Point's Hallo-Weekends.

Didn't know D.J. McHale directed this, that's neat. I loved his Pendragon series of books growing up. They would make a great TV or film adaptation if taken seriously.

one of the more annoying movies i have ever had to watch, i can't even imagine having the desire to hunt down a day and date to watch this in a tv guide

Got real Celtic pride forever. Other sport teams beware. Mets pride, Giants pride,

I never knew anyone considered it bad.

Great idea in theory but HORRIBLE execution.

1:20 lol say no more. Sold.

I liked Nuns on the Run a lot and have watched it several times. I would enjoy seeing it again.

Recently bought the DVD and watched it twice. So good.

I'm an American who lived in Ireland for a short period during my early high school years. I felt pretty isolated and unhappy being an awkward teen in an unfamiliar school system. Father Ted and other comedies like it on tv over there at the time really got me through that stretch. I could laugh watching them even if I couldn't smile at other times. I still quote it all the time with anyone I've shared the show with or who happens to know of it!

The plot is faithful enough to the original characters (Barney should be a bit more sarcastic and less passive), Goodman and Moranis were perfectly cast, but ultimately the "theme park" sets and costumes ruin the movie

This movie is definitely a cult classic

Very amusing That this one and Tony Scott's The Fan came out in the same year and both practically say the same thing about sports fans

Tim Heidecker's On Cinema show has a recurring segment called Popcorn Classics, in which his increasingly pathetic co-host highlights totally forgettable VHS tapes from the 80s and 90s. Celtic Pride is like the epitome of a Popcorn Classic

As an Italian NYer born in 1970 and whose mother (first generation American) was born and raised in Greenwich Village, where this move takes place, I 100% relate to this movie 100% times a billion. I even met Ann Bancroft’s sister, who also worked on the film. My friend’s mother were friends with them.

I honestly love colin quinn so much. That man is a comedic genius
