Bangarang.
I read that as “oh there you are Peter Hook” and half expected to see at the end the bassist from Joy Division/New Order.
Spielberg always gets such great performances out of child actors. It’s not an easy thing to do, and so much can depend on it.
I want, I want, I want Peter Pan!
I say this every morning when I wake up and have my first visit to the bathroom
This scene gets to me every. Fucking. Time.
To clarify: I love it, but it chokes me up.
RU
Rufiooooo
I work a fairly stressful job, and whenever I’m on vacation and finally truly start to relax and enjoy myself, my wife pipes up with this line. Never fails to make me laugh.
Rufio’s death still fucks me up.
I did this to a teacher once, she was not impressed.
I’ve always heard that no one really liked this movie when it came out, but as a kid this was the most magical thing I had ever seen. And it holds up!
Wasn’t until my teens did I realize he was spreading out wrinkles. Had thought Peter use to make faces and that’s how they recognize him.
As a kid, I remember doing this (scene) to my mom. She did not find it funny.
Wow. Another reason to cry today. Thanks, I hate it.
(Not really I bloody love this scene).
Must be fate that I was just talking about this scene over the weekend and it appeared on my feed just now. Our group was trading stories of favorite actors and of course Robin Williams has always been one of mine. His emotional range is impressive, especially when he plays an antagonist (see Insomnia, One Hour Photo)… but someone said “he was the Dad our generation [Millennials] always wanted to have”… that cut deep.
The movie that broke my faith in Rotten Tomatoes
This movie is such a classic, great scene. I also love at the end when Peter makes the fat kid the new leader, his smile seems so genuine.
I’ve been wondering this since I went to a movie theater to see this movie in 1991 – is it just me, or does that little boy look like baby David Alan Grier?
The older I get the bigger this scene is to me.
This movie is criminally underrated
BANGARANG
Watched this film once as a kid, but only now when I’m 32 did I realize this scene says the main difference between adulthood and childhood is the number of times you smile in a day,
When my wife and I first started dating, we would interrupt intimate moments just to do this to each other.
Tinkerhell
One of my all time favorite films. I loved Hook as a film. And it still hits me right in the nostalgia.
I’m a new dad, stressed as fuck at work right now, and now I’m sitting here crying my eyes out. Thanks
BRO WHY AM I TEARING UP IN MY OFFICE
I watched the shit out of Hook back in the day. We put it on for my kids a while back in an effort to get them to enjoy something that isn’t some fucking bullshit CGI cartoon with obnoxious, jive-talking animals. For the first few minutes they could not have been more bored, but by the end they were absolutely loving it. We have since showed them many 80s and 90s live action classics (Sandlot, Mighty Ducks, Goonies, Karate Kid, Flight of the Navigator) and it’s been the same formula every time.
One minute in: “THIS IS SO STUPID”
One hour in: *rapt attention*
This is a great movie, I don’t care what critics say.
Loved hearing Rufio later in Avatar, the Last Airbender. My daughter and I loved that show and I don’t know how many times I told her Zuko was also Rufio.
I was blown away when another redditor pointed out some cameos in here I’ve never noticed. Phil Collins as the cops, Glenn Close as Gutless the pirate, and Gwyneth Paltrow as young Wendy. I’ve seen that movie more than I can count. “Bad Form Petah” is a favorite of mine when someone messes up and I’ve never noticed those actors in there before.
Jeez that little boy can ACT
We will always remember Rufio R.I.P. *Rooster Crow*
One of my favorite movies of all time. What a classic
I miss Robin Williams so goddamned much. RIP.
You lewd, crude, rude, bag of
pre-chewed food dude.
This is the 90s kids movie that absolutely holds up. There were some terrible movies I thought were awesome because I was like 8 during this Era. Street Fighter and North come to mind. I don’t understand why this movie was given such terrible reviews. It holds up and Robin Williams is a Fucking legend.
Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow. Have to save Maggie, have to save Jack. Hook is back.
Best Peter Pan movie ever
How is this old scho… ah shit, I’m old.
A lot of people tear up at this part, but this was one of my first experiences with ASMR. It’s so relaxing
Welp now I’m watching Hook.
