You might like Summer Rental, a very underated Candy film which is him on vacation with his family but it's Rather subdued compared to the great outdoors but it's still very funny
Summer Rental was filmed here locally, one of the guys from our drama class got a bit part in the movie, he's on screen for like a minute and has a few lines. We were so jealous. LOL.
Ashleigh, save Little Shop of Horrors for Friday, September 23. That’s the day the movie / play takes place so it would be perfect before the start of Hallobeans!! And John Candy is in that movie too and he has a job on the radio!
"Did you know raccoons purr?" Yes. "Did you know they don't produce their own spit?" Yes. That's why they "wash" their food. It's not a hygienic thing, it's to make up for a lack of salivary glands.
I love the scene with the 96'er when Dan asks if he can also get a dessert down him will they throw in some hats for the kids? Then you see them leaving and the kids are wearing hats.
The bald bear was played by Bart, who was probably the most famous bear in Hollywood. He was in movies, TV, and advertising in the '70s, '80s and '90s, before succumbing to cancer in 2000. Every human actor who played alongside him was impressed by how well he was trained. Can't wait for Thor Ragnarok!
To add to fun facts about Bart the Bear, he was truly massive! Stood at a height of 9 ft 7.5 in (293 cm) and weighed 1,500 lb (680 kg)! And crazy enough, he appeared in the 70th Academy Awards on stage as part of a salute to animal actors and "handing" Mike Myers the envelope. You can can find the clip of it here on UA-cam.
Old dynamite is even more dangerous than good condition dynamite. As the nitroglycerine ages and sits neglected, it leaches into the paper and can form crystals on the surface of the sticks. These crystals are extremely shock sensitive and even bumping them can cause a detonation.
Came her to say this. The nitroglycerin can also leak out, build up, and explode without warning if it's kept in damp conditions so if that mine section is normally filled with water like that they might be in even more danger there.
This movie touches on so many things about going on vacation in the northwoods. Every summer our family went to northern Wisconsin in the 60's through the 80's. We did the bears at the dump, the restaurant which in real life was called Paul Bunyans, as a teenager there always seemed to be someone you might call a summer love whether it was a local or someone else at the resort and going fishing early in the morning. The trash cans all had the latching lids to keep the racoons out.
"Go find yourself a spin-cycle!" Is a fav "insult" my crew still uses to this day. If we use it in public and someone laughs, 90% chance we're gunna be friends
I have a feeling that Ashleigh would enjoy another John Candy film, "Delirious", in which he plays a writer and is centered around a Soap Opera. Underappreciated Gem (if my memory serves....its been a while). Of course, in that vein, Soap Dish would be another great Soap Opera based film to see a reaction to.
I loved John Candy in "Who's Harry Crumb?" It's a comedy where he plays a private investigator in search of a kidnapped heiress. Not sure how popular it was when it came out (I loved it), but I don't see it mentioned much. I think you'd like it, though, Ashleigh.
I use to watch this movie as a child with my grandmother. She is no longer with us. I had a great time doing that with her. I miss doing that with her. I called her Nanny.
Oh good lord! I was a kid at Bass Lake watching this being filmed. The scene where his son goes to the A&W, watched all the takes. It's an ice cream shop, or was, but never was an A&W. I need to drive back up to see what all is there today. I remember Hollywood took over the entire beach area we hung out at. Bass Lake was never the same after unfortunately. You got my respect for liking John Candy and Dan Akroyd and John Hughes! Also, you have beautiful hair and a Golden Girls cup, I'm subscribed after this viewing!
This is my favorite childhood movie! We live in central Wisconsin. We would start it everytime in the car and watch it on our way up north for vacation. It would start at our house and end when we were passing Paul Bunion's in Minocqua.
Ashleigh wants candy. John Candy that is. 😁 Funnily enough, my aunt, uncle and cousin had a similar experience to the bat thing. But it wasn’t on vacation, it was at their house! Thankfully, it was a just a bird not a bat.
If you truly love John Candy you must watch "Only The Lonely" it has his best performance and features Maureen O' Hara John Wayne's wife in the "Quiet Man". I dislike most Rom-Com's but I love this film.
Only the Lonely is an underrated classic. Not many people saw it because they couldn't buy John Candy as a romantic lead in a rom-com. What a shame. I think you would love it.
@@BDogg2023 there are a lot of movies that didn't do well when they were released, but eventually found a large audience. Hopefully only the Lonely finds the audience it deserves
One of my fave movies growing up. When they’re chasing the bat, you can see Dan Akroyd hiding behind the staircase counting to 3 and then they all run back out. 😂
I'm sorry, but to capture all of the Shakespeare-y goodness of that sentence, I simply must insist we refrain from modernizing the original Elizabethan English. *clears throat* Exeunt, pursued by a bear. Now, let the hysterics commence. 😁
I was a young teen when my Mom took my sister and I to this movie. We had such a great time! The bear scene in the end had the whole theater just rolling and we were to. Just a happy childhood moment I wanted to share. Love it, and nostalgic for me.
I love Summer Rental, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Spaceballs, Only the Lonely, Delirious, Splash, Volunteers, The Great Outdoors, Armed and Dangerous, and Cool Runnings with John Candy
This Reaction is one of the MANY FINE reasons why I keep coming back here every time you post a reaction! SO fun, so Genuine so INTERACTIVE! Thank you for YOU Ashleigh!

RIP John. There you go Ashleigh; your patrons can vote on his next movie. Movie suggestion: The Boy Who Could Fly with Lucy Deakins (in this film), Fred Savage, Bonnie Bedelia, Colleen Dewhurst, Fred Gwynn, and Jay Underwood.
George Carlin. He did more comedy specials BUT the times he showed up in movies were hilarious af. Of course, Robin Williams, do I bother explaining?! Chris Farley. The best Blues Brother Jim. Willie Wonka Gene. Richard Pryor Bernie Mac I can keep going. There's so, so, SO MANY awesome comedians that were actors too. Hell, Pat Murata, from Karate Kid. Also a comic. Don't get me wrong, John Candy's awesome. He's an 80's favorite for a damned good reason, but there's so, so many.
If you want to hear John Candy in a more surreal role, try watching "Heavy Metal." It's one of those weirdly addictive cult animated films, but he fits in so well with his part.
There is a restaurant in Amarillo, Texas called The Big Texan and they have a "if you eat it its free" steak that is 72oz and you have to eat the whole steak with the fat as well as the baked potatoe, green beans, rolls, corn and apple pie. Then its free if you eat it all. My dad tried it once and it wasn't too cheap to have to pay for.
Actually it can explode, when the nitro glycerin sweats out it creates a sort of crystal and if you throw it it explodes.. so when gelignite is sweating thats not good as it becomes very very unstable
I think it's great you felt the need to explain that. You never know who's gonna get the urge to explore old abandoned mines and possibly come across old dynamite. I'm actually being serious. You might have just saved Ashleigh's life. Clearly she needs to read some books and stop watching movies all day.
Steve and Robin did a stage play together in the late 80s, Sam Beckett's "Waiting For Godot", it was made into a movie in 2001 but not with them. They sold out the Lincoln Theatre for every show.
The thing about Robin is he steals the show. Literally. He will and always dominates the situation. Carson had him and teo other comedians on, and he literally took over and became the center of attention. That's his nature.
Also pretty impossible for me to imagine Robin and Jim Carey together in a movie, they’d never be able to get through a scene before the crazy took over!
I just got back two days ago from a family vacation just like this, my dad is Chet and my uncle is Roman. This is hilarious, I can't believe I never noticed it before.
That’s still one of my favorite movies. I loved the story, both Lucy and Bonnie Bedelia were cute as heck, and Fred Gwynn & Louise Fletcher were unexpected treats.
So glad you watched this! One of my childhood faves. Another film with A LOT of comedians is HARLEM NIGHTS starring Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Red Fox, Robin Harris, Charlie Murphy & Della Reese.
Funny little blooper in this movie: in one camera shot when the bear is standing on top of the door, the bottom left corner of the screen includes a person waving a stick. That's the bear's trainer signaling to the bear what to do. 🤣
Annette Benning who played Dan Aykroyd's wife (spin cycle) is a fantastic actress in so many films. Grifters is my favorite with John Cusack and Angelica Huston. ❤️❤️❤️
I was going to say Summer Rental but I see it already mentioned. I will repeat one I mentioned when I first found your channel, that being Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis. Great comedy and I hope this gets some notice.
We say "Processing nicely" from time to time, when we've gone too far. My wife also had a raccoon as a kid. They used to take it on road trips in the motor home.
VOLUNTEERS…. It’s a all time FOREVER CLASSIC!!! Such a great movie! Love that Tom Hanks is also in cast. Which is an amazing bonus for me cause I loved them together in SPLASH! Yasss please add VOLUNTEERS to the reaction list! You won’t be disappointed! 🤗😎👍🏼☮️
Miss John Candy. RIP One of my brother in laws picked John up from the Vancouver airport back in the late 80's and he was a very nice guy. I haven't seen this movie in years. John Candy and Dan Aykroyd are both legendary funny men and great Canadians 🍁
Fun Fact: In the scene where they come back to the cabin after Chet eats the steak, when he runs to vomit and his family follows, you can see Dan count 1, 2, 3 in the background and then everyone runs out of the cabin.
you buy leeches at the bait store in Minnesota. They are used to fish for Walleye Pile, a very tasty fish. They attach if you let them. Usually, they attach to a finger or thumb while you put them on the hook.
I worked for 22 years as a pest control technician, and one of the weirdest calls I ever got was a bat that was roosting in a customer's recessed lighting. I had to use one of those claw things people use to pick stuff up when they're too infirm to bend down, and a drawstring bag to contain it while I took it outside. Very strange episode. Also, I hate to burst your Raccoon Love Bubble, but raccoons are the soccer hooligans of the animal kingdom. They break stuff and make messes just because they can and they don't care. Also, Raccoon Love Bubble is the name of my Pussy Riot cover band.
Back in the 80s, you could get Star Wars glasses at Arby's for 69 cents extra on your soda. They had Sunday Comics style ones too. Ziggy, Hagar The Horrible, B.C. etc
the majority of The Great Outdoors was filmed at Bass Lake. The Cabin was built for the movie and still stands to this day. One of my daughters works for the company that rents it out and I used to work for a lumber company that displays the blueprints signed by some of the cast and crew (including John Candy, Dan Aykroyd and John Hughes among them) hanging on the wall behind the counter.
This movie has a special place in my heart. I was 8 or 9 when I first saw it. We were at my mom's folks' house up in the backwoods of northern Minnesota and my uncles were watching it, but we weren't supposed to. My grandma and aunts found out we were and yelled at my uncles for letting "the kids" watch something so inappropriate and so my uncles made one of my boy cousins stand in front of the TV during the "racy" parts so we couldn't see them. It still makes me giggle now, some 30+ years later. Solid gold.
I love this movie. I didn't get to see it until it came out on VHS, when I was 12. My little 12 year old self loved every minute of this movie, and I still do to this day.
Dynomite explodes on impact and it does not matter if it is wet. The fuses go to small firework type explosives known as basting caps that set off the Dynomite.
Great movie! My brother and I took our dad to see this in the theatre for Fathers Day when it came out, and since they’re both no longer with us, this movie has a lot of sentimental value to me. I definitely had a thing for Cammie, and I don’t know if she went on to be in anything else. I’ve tried the 96 oz steak challenge a couple times because of this movie, and it’s even harder than it looks. Kinda surprised you didn’t notice Fred Savage from The Wonder Years, and this was also Annette Bening’s first big movie. Thanks for sharing.
@@ianfeuerhake1859 haha no worries. I haven't seen this movie since it first came out, and in my mind I remembered Fred being in it. Watching her review I was thinking to myself, wow did something happen to Fred's face? I had to IMDB that sh!t before I realized what was going on. 🤣
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. The Great Outdoors has a special place in my heart, growing up in Minnesota and spending time up north in places very similar to where this takes place (even if they shot it around Yosemite in California). Also John Candy and Dan Aykroyd's characters remind me so much of my Dad and one of my uncles it's crazy.
Same exact story here. Growing up in Minnesota and going camping in places just like this. I never noticed the old guy's shirt that mentions Duluth. One of my good friends when I was very little absolutely loved this movie. We'd watch it every time we got together. His family was very big outdoors/camping/hunting types so it just fit. That friend died a number of years ago in a car accident. And I haven't yet been able to introduce my own kids to the outdoor and camping life of northern Minnesota like I enjoyed so much in my youth. I hope to someday soon. But whenever I watch this movie, I'm back in 1990 as a young kid watching this movie at night in his living room, knowing I'm going up to someplace very similar with him the next morning.
John Candy is my favorite actor. Cool Runnings is another great movie of his. And he also has a small cameo in Little Shop of Horrors (1986) (Theatrical cut). It stars Rick Moranis and has Steve Martin in his greatest-ever role. You'll seriously love his singing and dancing. HOWEVER, there is one thing about the movie I suspect you'll hate and be unable to ignore the whole time.
@@brianhammond2832 no, it needs to be the 23rd day of September. Perfect movie before the start of Hallobeans! On the twenty-third day of the month of September In an early year of a decade not too long before our own The human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places Little shop, little shop of horrors Little shop, little shop of terror Call a cop, little shop of horrors No, oh-oh-oh, no-oh
@@christopherwall2121 nope, the director's cut just doesn't work for so many reasons. The theatrical version is the way to go. Of course, the deleted scenes are interesting to watch on their own since so much work went into them.
I may have told the story before, but I'll tell it again. Some years ago, I was an extra on an episode of ENG, and John Candy turned up on the set. He wasn't in the episode or anything, he was probably there just to see someone. Anyway, while he was there, he came down to the cafeteria and kind of held court, surrounded by all the extras and bit players. He was a funny, charming guy, and really the only celebrity I ever met who FELT like a celebrity. When I heard he had died, I was stunned. He was such a nice guy, such a character and so well loved by everyone. RIP John.
Wagons East was another great John Candy movie and also his last. PS. Old dynamite sweats pure nitroglycerine and a good bump will cause it to explode.
@@markwilliams6394 I believe John Candy died on the set of Wagons East. And yes Canadian Bacon was funny but maybe I'm in the minority but I liked Wagons East more.
I said it was filmed before Wagon's East just came out after it. I think it went straight to VHS. They held up the release cuz he had died. I prefer Wagon's East more but both are funny.
Ashleigh's comment about "something you keep in a drawer" reminded me how young she is. At the time this movie was made, those kinds of things were illegal to sell in much of the country, and the kind of places that DID sell them were incredibly sketchy to say the least. There are still places where those things are illegal. Looking at you Alabama.
I love this movie! One of the many vhs we loved to rent at the library. Golden stuff. Happy you enjoyed! Recommend: Innerspace The Sting The Darjeeling Limited
The next Dan Akroyd comedy you should review as it also stars Chevy Chase is 'Spies Like Us' - a very underrated and not well talked about comedy. It's obviously a spy-spoof.
This was one of my dads favorite movies when I was a kid so we watched it a lot. So many jokes went over my head as a kid that finally clicked when I went back and watched it as an adult (the vodka joke lol). Apparently John Hughs always had to have a teen romance in his scripts which, looking back at it now, explains why that story felt a bit forced/weird.
This movie proves that polls arent everything. If you love John Candy, you should watch more John Candy. (start with Only the Lonely, and then Cool Runnings)
When I was 7 we were caretakers on a farm, there were bats in one of the barns and my older brother & I convinced our younger brother that vampires lived in the barn. He's been terrified of bats and barns ever since, even little sheds that look like barns.
This is definitely one of my favorite John Candy movies. It's so good. I love the stuff with the bear and the raccoons. This one is one of Joghn Hughes best movies. And I hear you about John Hughes being hit or miss. I love a good lot of them, but then there are others like Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller's Day Off that I can't stand. I'd also recommend Weird Science. That's one of my favorite John Hughes movies. Clerks is great. I think you might love that one, but I also recommend watching Mallrats and Dogma. Those are also great movies by Kevin Smith.
Sorry I'm late Ashleigh but I was OTA for a minute. 1. A wild raccoon would likely kill Beans. 2. The old man played Darnell in Stephen King's "Christine". 3. John Candy did vioce work for the animated fantasy "Heavy Metal".👍 Great tunes too🎶
Is it a "good" movie? Nope Is it a standard 80s sit com movie? Yep Is John Candy ALWAYS worth watching? Yes! Is this movie one of my favorite movies? Also yes One of those movies that is much, much better than it should be and it's mostly because of one guy.
I hope you get a chance to see Who's Harry Crumb with John Candy, he did an incredible job. Your reactions are priceless, definitely make those movies I have seen even more enjoyable. Thank you for that.
Hi Ashleigh. If you love John Candy, may I recommend "Cool Runnings." He's great in it, as always.
Please do this one!
Or summer rental is good John candy movie
classic
Yesss do this one pleaseeee
Sanka, ya dead?
"Summer Rental" is another John Candy movie. It's terribly underrated and it's a sweet movie.
You might like Summer Rental, a very underated Candy film which is him on vacation with his family but it's Rather subdued compared to the great outdoors but it's still very funny
Summer Rental was filmed here locally, one of the guys from our drama class got a bit part in the movie, he's on screen for like a minute and has a few lines. We were so jealous. LOL.
I second Summer Rental!
I'll third that!
This!

Love that movie!! Steve Martin with dark hair, Rick Moranis, John Candy, Bill Murray, and Levi Stubbs! Brilliant.
But try to find the "Director's Cut" version, the one on the Blu-Ray.
Ashleigh: “I’m surprised we haven’t seen the bald bear.”
Me: “Funny you should mention that!”
I was thinking the same thing while picturing that bare bald bear ass and laughing.
Her expression when the bear appeared was PRICELESS!!!! LOL
@@marniejane11 My mother used to lose her mind laughing at the bald bear butt lol.
Me: Ask and ye shall receive. Lmflwao
Everybody loves the bare-ass bear.
"Did you know raccoons purr?" Yes.
"Did you know they don't produce their own spit?" Yes.
That's why they "wash" their food. It's not a hygienic thing, it's to make up for a lack of salivary glands.

Haha, yeah. I always point out that bit cuz its so quick and subtle, you can easily miss it through your laughter.
I never noticed that.
I absolutely love this one. Something along the same line is Funny Farm with Chevy Chase. Such a great movie.
Long live Yellow Dog!

Bart's greatest role is in The Edge! But all of his movies are wonderful! :D
Bart even became friends with Jennifer Aniston. She would visit his owner and they would roll around on the grass together.
The TV edit has one of the most hilarious redubs ever, where every instance of ' blowing it out your ass' replaced 'ass' with 'kazoo.'

Of course, Robin Williams, do I bother explaining?!
Chris Farley.
The best Blues Brother Jim.
Willie Wonka Gene.
Richard Pryor
Bernie Mac
I can keep going. There's so, so, SO MANY awesome comedians that were actors too. Hell, Pat Murata, from Karate Kid. Also a comic. Don't get me wrong, John Candy's awesome. He's an 80's favorite for a damned good reason, but there's so, so many.
Me too.
I feel I’m a John candy look alike when I look at myself in the mirror.
Joh Candy, Robin Williams and Alan Rickman. 😭
I love that you're finally going to watch "Clerks." It's my favorite movie of all time! Have fun with the editing hahaha.
If you want to hear John Candy in a more surreal role, try watching "Heavy Metal." It's one of those weirdly addictive cult animated films, but he fits in so well with his part.
You are now John Candy of Gor!!!
Heavy Metal also has one of the best movie sooudtracks ever.
Not only John Candy, but other SCTV stars also such as Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty & Harold Ramis. Also, it's parts, he voices three characters 🙂
She won't like Heavy Metal.
@@blagoyavichrod why not?
There is a restaurant in Amarillo, Texas called The Big Texan and they have a "if you eat it its free" steak that is 72oz and you have to eat the whole steak with the fat as well as the baked potatoe, green beans, rolls, corn and apple pie. Then its free if you eat it all. My dad tried it once and it wasn't too cheap to have to pay for.
Actually it can explode, when the nitro glycerin sweats out it creates a sort of crystal and if you throw it it explodes.. so when gelignite is sweating thats not good as it becomes very very unstable
yup it becomes VERY chemically unstable and actually becomes a lot more dangerous.
Yea. Super dangerous once it starts leaching.
Kaboom 💥
I think it's great you felt the need to explain that. You never know who's gonna get the urge to explore old abandoned mines and possibly come across old dynamite. I'm actually being serious. You might have just saved Ashleigh's life. Clearly she needs to read some books and stop watching movies all day.
@@marcoadan1 TBH i got that information from an Episode of MacGuyver LOL. then i did my research and learned a lot more
Ashleigh, your timing is perfect. "I wonder if we're gonna see the bald bear again."
But my favorite scene is the water skiing.
A great opportunity was missed when nobody put John Candy, Steve Martin, AND Robin William's together in the same movie!
That's too much awesome, the universe would break.
Steve and Robin did a stage play together in the late 80s, Sam Beckett's "Waiting For Godot", it was made into a movie in 2001 but not with them. They sold out the Lincoln Theatre for every show.
The thing about Robin is he steals the show. Literally. He will and always dominates the situation. Carson had him and teo other comedians on, and he literally took over and became the center of attention. That's his nature.
Yeah, Ashleigh needs to see "Little Shop of Horrors" since she has already seen the only other film Steve and John did together.
Also pretty impossible for me to imagine Robin and Jim Carey together in a movie, they’d never be able to get through a scene before the crazy took over!
Ashleigh: I've broken my arms six times.
Also Ashleigh: How can you get hurt on the water?
Mystery solved.
I just got back two days ago from a family vacation just like this, my dad is Chet and my uncle is Roman. This is hilarious, I can't believe I never noticed it before.
I watched this movie as an eight year old, and would watch it every other month for years. This and Caddy Shack. Love these movies.
Lucy Deakins who played Buck's love interest was also in "The Boy Who Could Fly". Great movie and awesome story.
Oh man, I forgot all about that movie -- I loved it!
I love that film, I was obsessed with it for a minute when it came out.
Only just realised her father is the great Roger Deakins
I had to look her up, she's no longer acting but she is a lawyer now looks like maybe she was in college when she was acting
That’s still one of my favorite movies. I loved the story, both Lucy and Bonnie Bedelia were cute as heck, and Fred Gwynn & Louise Fletcher were unexpected treats.
So glad you watched this! One of my childhood faves. Another film with A LOT of comedians is HARLEM NIGHTS
starring Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Red Fox, Robin Harris, Charlie Murphy & Della Reese.
I get my mouth all ready for some orange juice and there's only one swallow left in the container.
@@UtopiaTX LOL! When Della Reese calls Benny (Red Fox) the "stupidest MF-er in captivity" I lose it every time.
Another great John Candy movie that you'll love is "Summer Rental". So funny!
I always have to laugh when Ashleigh is shocked by the films from the 80s! It was a different time. 😆
Here we go!! Time for some more comedy!!! Ashleigh is laughing A LOT lately, which means we've got tears and screams coming, too!!
Can't have Sunshine without Rain.
I need more screams, hallobeans can’t come fast enough
Funny little blooper in this movie: in one camera shot when the bear is standing on top of the door, the bottom left corner of the screen includes a person waving a stick. That's the bear's trainer signaling to the bear what to do. 🤣
Glad you caught the end credit scene! As a kid I also loved the racoon scenes so much!
End credit scenes before end credit scenes were cool. lol
Lucy Deakins was a major crush back in the day. She's an attorney in Colorado now.
Summer Rental along with Armed and Dangerous are John Candy's most underrated movies IMO.
Lots of fun and Meg Ryan is sooooo young in that!
Summer rental soon funny
I agree with summer rental
Summer Rental is amazing
Annette Benning who played Dan Aykroyd's wife (spin cycle) is a fantastic actress in so many films. Grifters is my favorite with John Cusack and Angelica Huston. ❤️❤️❤️
The Great Outdoors and Summer Rental are my favorite John Candy movies.
Same!!
Absolute +1 on Summer Rental
I was going to say Summer Rental but I see it already mentioned. I will repeat one I mentioned when I first found your channel, that being Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis. Great comedy and I hope this gets some notice.
25:56 - Ashleigh, it absolutely kills be that you just casually sing along with various songs in various movies, and your voice is *so beautiful!* ❤
We say "Processing nicely" from time to time, when we've gone too far.
My wife also had a raccoon as a kid. They used to take it on road trips in the motor home.
You should add Volunteers to your list. Highly underrated comedy IMO with John Candy and Tom Hanks.
VOLUNTEERS…. It’s a all time FOREVER CLASSIC!!! Such a great movie! Love that Tom Hanks is also in cast. Which is an amazing bonus for me cause I loved them together in SPLASH! Yasss please add VOLUNTEERS to the reaction list! You won’t be disappointed! 🤗😎👍🏼☮️
Miss John Candy. RIP
One of my brother in laws picked John up from the Vancouver airport back in the late 80's and he was a very nice guy.
I haven't seen this movie in years.
John Candy and Dan Aykroyd are both legendary funny men and great Canadians 🍁
Fun Fact: In the scene where they come back to the cabin after Chet eats the steak, when he runs to vomit and his family follows, you can see Dan count 1, 2, 3 in the background and then everyone runs out of the cabin.
One of the great 80’s comedies i still love to revisit now and never seems to get old.
So glad you were finally able to watch this! This was one of the films my sisters and I would watch together as kids. It's a classic in our household!
you buy leeches at the bait store in Minnesota. They are used to fish for Walleye Pile, a very tasty fish. They attach if you let them. Usually, they attach to a finger or thumb while you put them on the hook.
I worked for 22 years as a pest control technician, and one of the weirdest calls I ever got was a bat that was roosting in a customer's recessed lighting. I had to use one of those claw things people use to pick stuff up when they're too infirm to bend down, and a drawstring bag to contain it while I took it outside. Very strange episode.
Also, I hate to burst your Raccoon Love Bubble, but raccoons are the soccer hooligans of the animal kingdom. They break stuff and make messes just because they can and they don't care.
Also, Raccoon Love Bubble is the name of my Pussy Riot cover band.
Back in the 80s, you could get Star Wars glasses at Arby's for 69 cents extra on your soda. They had Sunday Comics style ones too. Ziggy, Hagar The Horrible, B.C. etc
"Where you two little gremlins going?" 😆 🤣 😂 that was funny. I came up with this movie as a kid 😆 one of my favs. Keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍
the majority of The Great Outdoors was filmed at Bass Lake. The Cabin was built for the movie and still stands to this day. One of my daughters works for the company that rents it out and I used to work for a lumber company that displays the blueprints signed by some of the cast and crew (including John Candy, Dan Aykroyd and John Hughes among them) hanging on the wall behind the counter.
For more Dan Aykroyd, watch "Dragnet"! Also starring a very young Tom Hanks! Hilarious! Also watch Dan in "Doctor Detroit"!
PAGAN= People against Goodness and normalcy. Definitely a fitting movie for these times!
This movie has a special place in my heart. I was 8 or 9 when I first saw it. We were at my mom's folks' house up in the backwoods of northern Minnesota and my uncles were watching it, but we weren't supposed to. My grandma and aunts found out we were and yelled at my uncles for letting "the kids" watch something so inappropriate and so my uncles made one of my boy cousins stand in front of the TV during the "racy" parts so we couldn't see them. It still makes me giggle now, some 30+ years later. Solid gold.
I love this movie. I didn't get to see it until it came out on VHS, when I was 12. My little 12 year old self loved every minute of this movie,
and I still do to this day.
Same! Been watching it on and off every summer since I was 5! Love this movie.
@@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087 same
Dynomite explodes on impact and it does not matter if it is wet. The fuses go to small firework type explosives known as basting caps that set off the Dynomite.
1941 is another one with john candy, dan Ackroyd in not as main chars but ;) its a fun film
"Have you ever seen whiter whites?" THE CHERRY ON TOP OF THAT CONVERSATION. SO GOOD.
Great movie! My brother and I took our dad to see this in the theatre for Fathers Day when it came out, and since they’re both no longer with us, this movie has a lot of sentimental value to me. I definitely had a thing for Cammie, and I don’t know if she went on to be in anything else. I’ve tried the 96 oz steak challenge a couple times because of this movie, and it’s even harder than it looks. Kinda surprised you didn’t notice Fred Savage from The Wonder Years, and this was also Annette Bening’s first big movie. Thanks for sharing.
She was in the Boy Who Could Fly.
@@zerubbabelsbridge thanks. I wasn't aware of that movie
The reason she didn't notice Fred Savage is because Fred Savage isn't in this movie, the kid's name is Ian Giatti.
@@deraykrause4517 whoops. My bad. Should've looked it up before I posted
@@ianfeuerhake1859 haha no worries. I haven't seen this movie since it first came out, and in my mind I remembered Fred being in it. Watching her review I was thinking to myself, wow did something happen to Fred's face? I had to IMDB that sh!t before I realized what was going on. 🤣
Our miniature southern bandit pandas don't get the love they deserve in the world. They're just misunderstood. Great reaction!!!
I'd like to recommend Adventures in Babysitting - perfect millennial movie, Thor is even in it!!!
And the Kingpin.
Thor/Private Pyle.
"They didn't have any faces!"
"O my gawd!"
"Nothing?"
"Just a pool of mushy goo!"
"Like Spaghetti-Os?"
""Like Spaghetti-Os with MEAT!"
Great movie! Elizabeth Shue is underrated.
NOT Chris Hemsworth... just so she's not confused lol
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. The Great Outdoors has a special place in my heart, growing up in Minnesota and spending time up north in places very similar to where this takes place (even if they shot it around Yosemite in California). Also John Candy and Dan Aykroyd's characters remind me so much of my Dad and one of my uncles it's crazy.
Same exact story here. Growing up in Minnesota and going camping in places just like this. I never noticed the old guy's shirt that mentions Duluth.
One of my good friends when I was very little absolutely loved this movie. We'd watch it every time we got together. His family was very big outdoors/camping/hunting types so it just fit.
That friend died a number of years ago in a car accident. And I haven't yet been able to introduce my own kids to the outdoor and camping life of northern Minnesota like I enjoyed so much in my youth. I hope to someday soon.
But whenever I watch this movie, I'm back in 1990 as a young kid watching this movie at night in his living room, knowing I'm going up to someplace very similar with him the next morning.
Don't know about it being filmed in California but it's pretty well known the town scenes were filmed in Boulder Junction, WI
John Candy is my favorite actor. Cool Runnings is another great movie of his.
And he also has a small cameo in Little Shop of Horrors (1986) (Theatrical cut). It stars Rick Moranis and has Steve Martin in his greatest-ever role. You'll seriously love his singing and dancing. HOWEVER, there is one thing about the movie I suspect you'll hate and be unable to ignore the whole time.
I think she is going to watch LSH in October
@@brianhammond2832 no, it needs to be the 23rd day of September. Perfect movie before the start of Hallobeans!
On the twenty-third day of the month of September
In an early year of a decade not too long before our own
The human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence
And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do
In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places
Little shop, little shop of horrors
Little shop, little shop of terror
Call a cop, little shop of horrors
No, oh-oh-oh, no-oh
@@brianhammond2832 That'd be great! hopefully it's not the "director's cut"
@@boshooda No, it ought to be that version, it's the closest version we have to Frank Oz's vision.
@@christopherwall2121 nope, the director's cut just doesn't work for so many reasons. The theatrical version is the way to go. Of course, the deleted scenes are interesting to watch on their own since so much work went into them.
Ashleigh's facial reactions are a whole nother level of impeccable.
This is both classic John Hughes and classic John Candy. I love this move! So freaking funny! Love this reaction Ashleigh!
I may have told the story before, but I'll tell it again.
Some years ago, I was an extra on an episode of ENG, and John Candy turned up on the set. He wasn't in the episode or anything, he was probably there just to see someone. Anyway, while he was there, he came down to the cafeteria and kind of held court, surrounded by all the extras and bit players. He was a funny, charming guy, and really the only celebrity I ever met who FELT like a celebrity.
When I heard he had died, I was stunned. He was such a nice guy, such a character and so well loved by everyone. RIP John.
Ashleigh...your raccoons actually have a post credits scene. Keep watching! Might be the first post credits scene ever🤔
Keep watching because she did see it.
Another John Candy classic, is 'Summer Rental'. Highly recommend it!
Wagons East was another great John Candy movie and also his last. PS. Old dynamite sweats pure nitroglycerine and a good bump will cause it to explode.
Canadian Bacon came out after Wagon's East but I think was filmed before Wagon's East. Both are great underrated Candy movies.
@@markwilliams6394 I believe John Candy died on the set of Wagons East. And yes Canadian Bacon was funny but maybe I'm in the minority but I liked Wagons East more.
I said it was filmed before Wagon's East just came out after it. I think it went straight to VHS. They held up the release cuz he had died. I prefer Wagon's East more but both are funny.
Ashleigh's comment about "something you keep in a drawer" reminded me how young she is. At the time this movie was made, those kinds of things were illegal to sell in much of the country, and the kind of places that DID sell them were incredibly sketchy to say the least. There are still places where those things are illegal. Looking at you Alabama.
Yeah places like where Peewee Herman was caught 😁
I love this movie! One of the many vhs we loved to rent at the library. Golden stuff. Happy you enjoyed!
Recommend:
Innerspace
The Sting
The Darjeeling Limited
😂😂 “6 times he’s been struck by lightning”….Me- “gurl just wait”
If you want more simple 80s Comedies, I'd recommend:
- Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
- Twins (1988)
- Inner Space (1987)
Bernie's is a little on the dark side. Not sure it's up Ashleigh's alley.
@@glenerickson358 Dark Side?... It ain’t Star Wars! 🤪😂
The next Dan Akroyd comedy you should review as it also stars Chevy Chase is 'Spies Like Us' - a very underrated and not well talked about comedy. It's obviously a spy-spoof.
This was one of my dads favorite movies when I was a kid so we watched it a lot. So many jokes went over my head as a kid that finally clicked when I went back and watched it as an adult (the vodka joke lol). Apparently John Hughs always had to have a teen romance in his scripts which, looking back at it now, explains why that story felt a bit forced/weird.
I literally was just talking about this movie the other day.. and boom you review it. :)
This movie proves that polls arent everything. If you love John Candy, you should watch more John Candy. (start with Only the Lonely, and then Cool Runnings)
When I was 7 we were caretakers on a farm, there were bats in one of the barns and my older brother & I convinced our younger brother that vampires lived in the barn. He's been terrified of bats and barns ever since, even little sheds that look like barns.
This is definitely one of my favorite John Candy movies. It's so good. I love the stuff with the bear and the raccoons. This one is one of Joghn Hughes best movies. And I hear you about John Hughes being hit or miss. I love a good lot of them, but then there are others like Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller's Day Off that I can't stand. I'd also recommend Weird Science. That's one of my favorite John Hughes movies. Clerks is great. I think you might love that one, but I also recommend watching Mallrats and Dogma. Those are also great movies by Kevin Smith.
She saw Weird Science, it's on the channel.
@@tonyrossell832 Yeah I discovered last night. Somehow I missed that?
Thanks so much for the laughs today. My Monday has been rough but when I saw you posted this movie I knew things were looking up🤗
i love this movie! great reaction, you should check out summer rental its a good one too
Sorry I'm late Ashleigh but I was OTA for a minute.
1. A wild raccoon would likely kill Beans.
2. The old man played Darnell in Stephen King's "Christine".
3. John Candy did vioce work for the animated fantasy "Heavy Metal".👍 Great tunes too🎶
Is it a "good" movie? Nope
Is it a standard 80s sit com movie? Yep
Is John Candy ALWAYS worth watching? Yes!
Is this movie one of my favorite movies? Also yes
One of those movies that is much, much better than it should be and it's mostly because of one guy.
I hope you get a chance to see Who's Harry Crumb with John Candy, he did an incredible job.
Your reactions are priceless, definitely make those movies I have seen even more enjoyable. Thank you for that.
