Where’s the bear?
“Nobody is blowing anything out their ass.” Such a great movie.
Taken from us way too soon
Legends.
Top 10 movies all time. Love these two together.
Great chemistry between these two in that movie. I still miss John Candy. The 80’s/90’s wouldn’t have been the same without him.
“Look at the size of the maggots on that meat”. Great movie….vaa vaa vaa voom.
Lucy Deakins as Cammie might have been my first celebrity crush.
Great movie! We had so many great films growing up. Anything with either of these two were bound to leave you laughing!
“Big bear chase me!”
Good evening. How’s it going? Listen, girls…uh…as your father, I feel it incumbent upon me to set the record straight on the validity of the tale which Uncle Chet shared with us this evening. I know that a terrifying story like that coming from the mouth of a recognized authority figure could be traumatizing for kids like yourselves; I know that, because I had a similar experience with my uncle Roy and a story he used to tell, about a family who went into the woods and was attacked by a band of escaped Army psychiatric patients who’d been subjected to violent, hellish, torturous behavior-modification experiments. It seems they escaped from the metal boxes the Army kept them in, found his family in the woods, fell upon them, slaughtered them and ate them. Now that story—phew—it gave me nightmares not to be believed. Well I thought that Uncle Chet’s story upset you in the same way. I’m here to say that there actually is NO bear, and that all that Uncle Chet was saying was just a yarn… spinning for our… entertainment. And even if there were a bear out there, I’m in the house. To protect you. So uh… no more thinking about bears. Alright? No more thinking about unpleasant things. We’re gonna close our eyes and dream about nice things. About cuddly, soft, fluffy things. Okay? Super. Good night. Sleep tight.
One of my favourite movies growing up.
Old 96er
Let go of the rope!
Sometimes it is easy to forget that Candy has been gone since 1994.
You got it in neutral
Jet boat!
You wouldn’t know a good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face and started to wiggle.
Go find yourself a spin cycle
Suck My Wake
Lips and assholes!
That’s six hotdogs dad.
It’s for everybody, all right? And I’m hungry.
I still use that line whenever I am eating hot dogs with someone!
Loved that film
I watched this yesterday when it was on lol. Shotgun lamp bit just gets me every time how they CGI that fine ass on the grizzley.
Hot dogs?! You know what they’re made of, *Chet*? Huh? *Lips* and *assholes*!
Ssss sssss sssssiiixxx……..
Wow six times!
Sssiiixxxty ssssssixxx times
That’s easily one of if not my most favorite movie
You wouldn’t know a good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face, and started to wiggle!
Lips and assholes, Chet.
“This whole shoot has been Nothing but Trouble. Wait a minute!” -Dan Aykroyd
This was one of my dad’s favorite movies ever. Can’t count how many times we watched it growing up.
Only criticism now as an adult was John Hughs having to shoehorn a teen romance plot into every movie. Cut that and make the older son a punk instead of preppy and make it about him & Chet reconnecting on vacation.
What a gas
You have to heat the flue
Dan Ackroyd has had to say lots of goodbyes over the years. Sad.
Two absolute comedy legends, and one of the lesser talked about John Hughes classic. Candy was just masterful at not only the physical comedy, but his delivery, nuances in his performances, adlibbing during scenes. Sad he passed so soon, I just think of all the projects that never came about, and other films he likely would’ve been a part of.
His kids look at him like he’s Zeus, and mine look at me like I’m a rack of lawn tools at Sears.
Such a good movie. Watch this when you’re at a cottage or in the summer camping. Right up there with the rest of the John Hughes classics.
John was the nicest man. My uncle was one of his gardeners and he said John talked to them.
Gonna go introduce, MR . Thick D – – -, to Mr urinal cake.
It’s bigger than I thought – yeah – two-pounder, big wings.
Awesome movie, John and Dan were great playing off each other. Better hurry or he’s going to get the good space in the garage.
Yakety yak!!
Bullshit! This is Gus Polinski, the Polka King of the Midwest! Leader of Kenosha Kickers!
