Even the sound effects of that crappy plane were hilarious. Best comedy movie ever made.
if they released a dvd that included every bit of known footage and audio ever found and known to exist I'd totally buy it.
The Criterion Collection release comes really really close but there's two scenes on the laserdisc that didn't make it
@@CaptainJZH
Captain, what are the 2 scenes that are in the laserdisc that are not in the Criterion bluray?
@@PaulTesta 0:21 and 9:18
@@CaptainJZH
OK, thanks!
And how did you EVER come across that lost dialogue between Spencer Tracy and Buster Keaton?
As a huge fan of this film, I've always believed that Capt. Culpepper's scheme with Jimmy the Crook was a major plot hole in this otherwise epic comedy!
@@PaulTesta I didn't come across it, it's included on the extended edition on the Criterion Collection release
Have no idea how the restorers found it lol
There will never be a movie ever again like the original this movie is a true classic in every way!!!!!!!!!!..
Think of all those other great comedies around the same time: Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, The Great Race, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and a few others.
But I always love it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
Readers of Mad will remember the title it's a world, world, world MAD.
Sure we had Flying High and others but movie producers seem to have lost their sense of humour.
Oh and I forgot, Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety.
One can still get the main point that is dwarfed by the comedy of it all: The insanity and ridiculousness of greed.
I remember back in December '63 the owner of the local theater in Norwalk Ohio ran this movie and it was FREE to everyone who waned to come and watch it. Those were the days folks..
... Was it late December back in '63?.... Oh what a night 🎵
13:45 As of 2024, Barrie Chase (playing Sylvester's dancing girlfriend) is the only actor still alive. [ info: Eddie Rosson, who played the young boy who led Phil Silver's character astray, died at age 38. ]
That's the stuff I study about old movies..Thanks 😊
Buddy Hackett was in the same German POW camp as my friend’s dad.
😢
@@bradleypollack5658 Eddie was a popular child actor in his time. His cause of death is listed as "liver failure" , which implies the fame and stress led him to abuse his own body in later life.
My favorite movie of all time!
Luv it....this was like a time capsule from (1963)....the background, cars, stores, etc.......!!
That's my grandfather's Shell station @ 4:12! That is so cool! I've seen this movie many times, but had no idea they shot anything in downtown 29 Palms.
Don't know why they cut out that scene.
Right across the street from a Texaco!
Can you imagine the hullabaloo over casting this film? Every agent in Hollywood must have been on it. Who got the big parts, and who small, who just a cameo? Some of it was dictated by availability, but the egos involved must have seen the number of their lines/centrality to the plot as a proxy for their popularity and reputation.
And Sid Caesar said in his autobiography - when he was using the sledgehammer on the door HE DID break through, so the stagehands had to reinforce it.
The scenes of police surveillance puts such a different perspective on it, it seriously changes the story.

I tried showing this movie to my fiancé at the time, she wasn’t interested. Needless to say, we did not get married.
Close call. Imagine, without this movie, you could have possible made the mistake of your life!
Good call. As bad as it sounds, your mother-in-law would have been Ethel Merman.
_"We're the ones in the Imperial and we're running LAST!?"_
Dodged a bullet, buddy!
@@bigblockjalopy❤
Wow, you dodged a bullet there; I wouldn't have anything to do with someone who didn't like this movie.
When this movie was first released I thought it was the fourth in a series, and I wondered how I had managed to miss "It's a Mad World", "It's a Mad, Mad World" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World".
😂 😂 I Love that !!!
Just imagine having 3 prequels to this madhouse ! By the fourth one we'd all be nuts !
It's amazing how many entertainers were in this film❤️
Cameo cast !
The deleted shots from the gas station destruction scene really make the police in this film sink to a new low, as they’re actually watching the chaos the whole time and never lift a finger to stop Jonathan Winters and save those poor mechanics.
Yeah there's a lot more police surveillance in the extended cut - only parts that are left in the final film are the police deciding not to help Sid Caesar and Edie Adams in the hardware store basement because "it ain't fair" to the others, and Otto Meyer spotting the police helicopter and realizing it's following him
They were under orders to observe and not interfere because the vacationers didn't know that Smiler was being followed by the police.
and the police in Palm Desert are still just as useless! Source: am from La Quinta
It depicts the America I longed to go to as a kid growing up in grey, dull Manchester UK. I finally got there in 1999. Too bad it had changed unrecognisably. The 1950’s and 1960’s were the best decades in living memory
I felt like you having listened to American music in the 60's. I finally made it to Philadelphia in 1980 on business for a week. When I returned to the UK I just wanted to live and work there, but family ties stopped that thought.
Its still the land of opportunity in my view.
The guy in the smashed gas station is wearing gloves because one hand is broken. You can see the bump of the cast on the left hand under the sleeve.
I saw the original release of this in New York in Cinerama. One of the 5 funniest movies ever made.
Hey Chief I took your hat to the dry cleaners and they say it's Rooned! 🤣
These shorts don't do the movie justice, a wonderful classic that i always recommended watching
As a 10-year-old in the mid-70s I would tape record movies off TV with my Panasonic cassette recorder, dutifully pausing it during commercials. I would go to sleep listening to them. This one required several cassettes! Like Hitchcock and the Bond movies, it was so exciting to anticipate the ABC Sunday Night Movie so that I could capture my faves!
What is the most iconic films of all time the stars you could ever imagine. They were all absolutely hilarious in their characters my favorite was Jonathan Winters😂❤
Ever since I saw the deleted phone conversation between Capt. Culpepper and Buster Keaton, I've thought it was wrong to have taken it out.
Yes it explains the purpose of Keaton’s character, which makes no sense in the shorter version of the film. Also, it’s just a great historical treasure of a scene, one of the greatest-ever dramatic actors and one of the greatest-ever comedy actors having a conversation.
Ya that part always confused me, the only thing I could figure is that he was a valet or handyman or something like that where Culpeper lived.
90 seconds cut out, which rendered the closing chase pointless. It was a ridiculous decision.
In the version I had seen the first, I had completely missed Buster's appearance even though he was named in the opening credits and I was looking for him.
I kinda get the feeling that Jimmy might've been someone Culpepper arrested years back
ONe very interesting gem regarding the radio voices - a few of them are unmistakenly voiced by Walter Matthaw.
Love this movie 🍿 never gets old. Brilliant. Could have been longer, they made Kramer shorten it.
I grew up with the Laserdisc version of this movie and it was all I knew. When I later saw it on TV and DVD, I was thoroughly confused by all the missing parts.
The gas station was sitting on land that belonged to a friend of Stanley Kramler. He talked his friend into using the land for the movie. A week later the owner and his wife drove by and saw the gas station on his property and believed it was there permanently...next time he drove by the gas station was destroyed.
Thanks for posting this!- only have the older standard DVD release that doesn't include this. Ethel Merman as usual had the audacity to fire "shut ups" at everyone with her OWN big mouth.
" Did you all hear what Moma said!?!"
I did see an airing years back that included many of the deleted scenes in place, and it seems to hold the story together more, and completed the plot a bit further.
If these priceless scenes had been included, the movie would have been even better.
Not really ,I saw the movie with all these scenes added in and it makes the movie well over 3hrs,the scenes add nothing to the picture ,there is a reason why they were originally deleted. the people who edit these movies know what they are doing.
I believe it was 1972 when I saw this movie at a theater. I had been out of the hospital for three days after having my appendix out. Imagine laughing so hard with stitches in your side. Makes me feel old, I was 16.
At least you didn't have a broken rib....
This is my favourite comedy of all time. Its brilliant, very funny movie
Merman steals the picture.
I agree, ( kinda) but you could pretty much look at each one of them and at a given moments in the movie they've each stolen it...
She definitely knocks it out of the park for sure though...
SYLVESTAAAAH
Every time I see this movie and see the scene at the Pike in Long Beach, it brings back memories being a kid there riding the Cyclone Racer Roller Coaster. Such a great amusement park.
Can you imagine the jokes behind the scenes? What a great time to be on a movie set
Can you imagine the bloopers 😂 OMG the laughs
You can buy the movie with the 202-minute extended version sold by the Criterion Collection.
heh. I sat through 3 1/2 hours to see one of Buster Keaton's last performances. And so here I am now.
This film is so quirky, part of it's appeal is the sheer endurance of watching it. Surely these few scenes were cut as a token gesture- notwithstanding that these scenes are all relevant to narrative continuity. Eg, in the Criterion version, Sylvester is an unemployed lay-about driving an expensive sports car.
Does anybody know if any car chase footage was edited? Perhaps before 1963, car chases represented too much production cost.

Funniest movie ever made.
Made the year I was born. I love this movie and watch it every once in a while. I got some 20 and 30 year olds to watch it and they hated it.
So typical of today’s youth with their iPhone, instant gratification conditioned brains! They are incapable of following any sort of detailed and character-driven narrative.
The chickens coming out of the cockpit…😂😅
My Dad told me a story about this film he went to see it with his brother my Uncle Allen and he laughed so much he was begging my please make then stop his side’s hurts so much from laughing it was for me as a kid In Sydney to see all those wonderful American cars if the sixties I still watch it on dvd it’s my favourite comedy love it.❤
Would've been a (4-hour/+) movie with every scene....😅...!!

Thank you for this info!
“ you’re in no danger they don’t know you “
I know people are saying the phone call scene with Jimmy/Buster Keaton should have been left in, but I see why they cut it. I think leaving it out makes it more impactful when Culpepper/Spencer Tracy steals the money since we don't know for certain that he will do it.
This is probably exactly why it was cut, to make his character in the second half that much more mysterious and intriguing
I absolutely love this movie. We load on devices to play in the car on road trips.
Stan Freberg has said they cut his lines out …
Some of the deleted scenes I am glad were deleted, as they were lame, and not important enough to add another 30+ minutes needed. Some little snippets and dialogue would have been good to add. The arguing scene at the side of the road devolved into unintelligible shouting, so I'm glad that was deleted. But I am pleased to see these other deleted scenes, good and bad after 59 years when first seeing the film in Jan. 1964.
The movie is tighter with some scenes gone and there is some mystery of what Culpepper is going to do with the Buster Keaton scene deleted.
I hope they made extended edition versions to have a full laugh 😆
The Criterion Collection has the full extended edition
Mid ‘90’s had a lot of comedic talent and was fun to consider the new casting. Today: forget it.
One of the best films ever just so good all round 😂😂😂
There is other missing scenes not included here. Many scenes were found in Culver city during a demolition. A safe was discovered with numerous reels full of trims. The one that stands out is where Don Knotts forces himself into a cafe phone booth occupied by Reta Shaw. She loses her temper is starts strangling Knotts with the phone cord. Hope we gather all together one day
Thanks for posting! So awesome!!!
My all time faverite movie
Mad mad mad mad...was around 4 hours long..was pared down by Kramer in a directors cut and then again at the studios insistence.
This movie features virtually the who is who of comedy in the 20th century up to that time..Keaton Ben Blue..as such Kramer had to realize that this assembly of talent probably would never occur again. The performances were priceless. So it seems unlikely that the cut footage would have been tossed. It seems like it was found in that safe in Culver City.
I saw this movie when i was about 11 years old during its first run in 1962. I never laughed as hard..I do think the ending chase of Culpepper culimating with the building was forced and a bit of a let down. Other than that genius.
Thank you for Posting this.. I really enjoyed it!
Peter Faulk wanted to drive off and leave Cid Ceasar. A cop wouldn't let him. They had a big argument. It was hilarious. I wish someone could find that scene!
More dance footage of Sylvester and his girlfriend that SHOULD have been included 13:41-14:00! Sylvester in those scenes is one definition of "enjoying life and living in the moment"! He's a legend in my mind!
Funny how it isnt til you watch a movie years later and realize who actors you didnt know at the time you first watched it, like the two cops who show up to the accident scene were Rico from the Untouchables and Mr. Roper from Three's Company
Incredible driving stunts done with vehicles DEFINITELY not designed for such driving, all throughout this film!
Funniest film ever...saw this as a teenager...laughed so hard i nearly had a fit and kick the bucket !!!
It’s a thank, thank, thank, thank, you!
This ties up a lot of loose ends. Til now I never knew that the girl Sylvester was with was married to someone else, or that he took HER car
2:18 That's Stan Freburg with the glasses in the background!
That's some hardware store!!
What will it be like if "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" has two versions? One would've been the original 210 version and the theatrical version.
Gawd, I love this movie! ❤️❤️❤️
This is great. Thanks for uploading this.
I had read somewhere online that Phil Silvers character Otto was a out of work business man. That might explain why he was so greedy. And he tells them at the gas station the Ford car is one of the fleet. So he must have been successful to have several cars before he lost his job.
Being a Phil Silvers character, he is more likely lying. Remember, he gives his name to the mechanics as Dr. Zillman, when his real name is Otto Meyer..
@@netram28 that was one thing that bugged me about Myers. Was how easily he could make up a fake story and people would believe him. He was one of the funniest characters in the movie. But I real life he would be a person nobody liked.
Barrie Chase!
The last survivor.
This is great but you're missing one of my favorite scene intros. It's when Phil Silvers says "You all get a lot of action out here? Why don't you more closer to the city? You'll do more business." And then Jonathan Winters peddles in on the bike.
Years ago I rented the first DVD release and it included even more footage on the second bonus disc including Edie Adams falling over the bench without sound. I'm glad to see the audio still existed and could be reinstated. There was also more Twin Beach footage including Benji and Dink praying "Now I lay me down to sleep" while flying the plane. I wish I would've bought that version. Maybe it was a transfer of the Laser Disc version? I've never seen the Laser Disc version though.
Also, there appears to have been 2 different masters made for this movie. The one with the green intertitles has been the one used for years from the 1991 partially restored home video version 'til the Criterion Blu Ray release which is from the master released to the public originally. I don't know that the green intertitle version was ever released until the 1991 home video release. I liked that master better, truthfully, because I preferred the green intertitles over the red plus the colors were better. Things that are green in the public release are blue on this master like Mr. Finches jeep or Pikes moving van. Also some people had blue eyes in that version. Plus this bluer version had a happier more pleasant feel to it because of this. Unfortunately the green intertitle version's master supposedly succumbed to vinegar syndrome before a high definition transfer was made from it. If the movie had been rereleased to theaters in 1991 then film transfers would have been made but it was only transfered to standard definition home video. So a theatrical transfer supposedly from Australia had to be used for the Criterion release. I think this outtake footage came from the edited red intertitle version as the Pike's and Finches vehicles are green. A noticeable difference when they reinserted the footage in the 1991 partially restored version with the green intertitles.
I think those scenes from that DVD release were excluded from this cut because they weren't included in the premiere version that this cut was trying to recreate. That said, yeah it would have been nice to just include everything.
@@CaptainJZH Yes, the Criterion recreation on the second disc did not include some of the 1991 released footage because, yes, it was never in the Premiere. When you said "Deleted" scenes, I assumed you meant scenes that never made it into the movie in any form. Not just the scenes deleted/ removed from the premiere version for the world wide release. But maybe those would be called outtakes then.
Btw, I think the premiere was released one week before Kennedy was killed and the world wide release came out one week after. Must've felt very odd now watching this movie right after that. It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World indeed.
@@tomz500 tbh I also didn't really know about those scenes -- they were only included on a fairly obscure DVD release
Cuts are a fact of life in comedy. There's an old story regarding the producer of the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera," where he was watching the rushes and in the famous state room scene on the ship, he yelled out "CUT," saying that prolonging a hysterical scene will ruin it. I know this will be sacrilege to some here, but I find the movie pacing a lot better when watching at home if I skip over the entire hardware scene. It's just too long without any laughs and the inaction stops the movie dead in its tracks. Some of the service station destruction can also go, much as I revere Jonathan Winters.
I agree about the hardware store scenes although I think the fact that the gas station destruction goes on for so long is part of the joke, so you're like "oh god it's STILL GOING" as they destroy more and more of the gas station and seems neverending
Agreed on both counts.
What a fantastic movie 👍🤣🤣
I can’t believe they took out 1:10-1:14. Just hilarious.
They were all fantastic. But the energy and timing seems lightly off when you view what Stanley knew was top grade, and every cut wasn't a charm. He knew it. Nobody's fault. That's show biz.
sometimes the extended or deleted scenes may even add extra context
Fantastic scenes that should have been in the picture! This film and Seven Days in May could have and should have won Best Picture of 1963, because Tom Jones is not nearly as good, and that's a fact!!!!!
My initial feeling is Seven Days in May was a 1964 film.
@@freeguy77 Well you're right it was made in 1963 because JFK knew about it, but was released in 1964 and nothing was going to beat My Fair Lady!
Zany crazy - Phil Silvers, Buddy Hackett, Jonathan Winters, Milton Birll, Spencer Tracy and a cast of similarly talented stars…. The two gas station attendants would later find fame
(Not sure about fortune) doing cartoon character voices for Hanna-Barbarra studios, such as Boo-Boo Bear
They should've left Buster Keaton's scenes in it.
17:03 Check out those three Star Wars robot heads.
"un monde fou,fou,fou", c'est le titre français.
J'avais bien rigolé.
It's very cool to see these scenes, but I never felt it was any atrocity to have them edited out. Not particularly great scenes.
Okay, so now I see that the girl Sylvsester was with was married and that was her hubby's car he took, not his own. Let's hope her hubby wasn't a Simpson type.
Barrie Chase is the last survivor of all the participants. She is 89, approaching 90, on Oct. 20.
No, it's HER car, which she says clearly. She then asks what she'll be able to tell her husband, since Sylvester's taking it. I misunderstood that initially, just as you did, but then I paid closer attention.
@@hebneh I wonder what she did when she found out her car was destroyed. And I wonder what her husband did after he found out that she was hanging out with Sylvester
@@nathanbarger3449
Alas, we'll never know how the car theft and subsequent destruction was resolved.
I read somewhere that Phil Foster who played Frank DeFazio on Laverne & Shirley played Barrie Chase's husband, but his scenes were edited out of the film. @@nathanbarger3449
To be honest it doesn’t look like many important scenes were lost. Still wish they were not cut
Would this be the WHOLE film if this was added to all known cuts?
“Hit him again…oh I couldn’t..!” I do have to say that I wish they had left that in..😂
Thank you for posting
Indeed. I have the 1991 Laserdisc, too... and was QUITE annoyed that the BluRay Criterion seemed, in all their research for "elements," never to have noticed the 1991 LASERDISC! There are even AUDIO clips on the Laserdisc that Criterion seemed to lack (and added subtitles to cover the missing audio)! Kinda shameful... and EMBARRASSING... of/for Criterion, if you ask me.
I mean I GET that, in restoration, you might have to check a film vault in Vienna... or a salt cellar in Kansas... or a collector in Outer Mongolia... but... just for giggles and laughs, did you try e-bay for an INCREDIBLY well-known and well-documented 25-year-old laserdisc that Dave and a thousand others have in their dens? Might prove HELPFUL...
Tbf, I think their main concern was with it being "high quality" elements. We know they knew about the Laserdisc because they were able to take the colors of the Laserdisc master and place it over an HD scan of the faded film element. But if they didn't have a film element to match it to, they didn't want to give viewers a scene that was only standard definition. Still, they should have included it as an extra, at least.
With the "lost" audio it may have been a similar case, where the audio sourced from the Laserdisc might not have been up to the same quality as the audio from the film sources they had used and didn't want that inconsistency.
Then again they also used still images over scenes of just audio so...maybe they should have just bit the bullet and included the LD scenes anyway lol
@@CaptainJZH Wouldn't even "lower quality audio" be preferable to SILENCE? LOL!
@@hmmmmmmmmm2 lol yeah
Get the blu ray version it is brilliant.
Thanks very much appreciate your efforts.
"MAMA!!!!!!!!"
Fills in most of the gaps 😮😅😊
You mean that movie was longer and they cut some out??? Geeeze!!! Then it was a 4 hour movie!!!
More like 3.5 hours, the Criterion cut is 197 minutes. However the original cut is allegedly 202 minutes but those missing 5 minutes are still lost (from what I've heard they may have been a scene of Culpepper at an ice cream parlor getting the sundae he's eating in the Buster Keaton phone call)
It puzzles me that the deleted scene at 11:55-12:48 has Asian subtitles in the Criterion release because I've seen it before WITHOUT the subtitles.
If I remember correctly, I believe I read that the scene was zoomed in on the 1991 laserdisc and VHS to mask them. That scene always looked somewhat misframed even back then.
They cut out scenes of Barrie Chase in a bikini? Well that was a mistake.
I have a feeling they cut that scene because it was a little too risque for the times being that she has a husband and she's with this other man.
