So, there I was, 1964, seeing 'Dr Strangelove', first run, at the MALCO Theater. I was with my older and much worldlier brother. We came out of the theater in total confusion. We didn't know it was a COMEDY.... gotta remember, we had been through the Cuban Missile Crisis and Dallas. It was years later that I figured out how fucking funny this movie is. Even more so when I was 'Nuke Certified' by the USAF - another story all together.
Slim Pickins was supposed to ride the bomb named "Dear John" that is the name of his beloved rodeo horse. The prop guys accidentally painted the wrong name on the bomb he rode. He took his horse everywhere on the movie sets while working.
Before Slim Pickens was cast as Major T.J. “King” Kong, Stanley Kubrick offered the part to John Wayne. The Duke turned it down, of course. Peter Sellers’ role of President Merkin Muffley was made to resemble United States Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson.

That NEVER gets old. 'Frying chickens in the barnyard' and 'I'll get those doors open if'n it harelip's everyone in Bear Creek' are two classic lines NEVER spoken in any other film before or since.
That Beaver Creek line foretells a line in a later Kubrick film: "I will motivate you, Private Pyle. even if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo!" -Full Metal Jacket, 1987.
Major Kong yelling Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa as he's riding the bomb to its target, absolutely, classic scene, my favorite of the entire movie. Always ROFL when I watch this.
The best line in the film- when the crisis is deepening, the phone rings in the War Room- it's his mistress. He says: "I thought I told you to never call me here!" The epitome' of dark humor.
People don’t realize, at this time period there were 25 B52’s flying in a large circle over northern Canada 24 hours a day ready to launch their nuclear weapons at Russia. The shortest distance to Russia is over Canada and Arctic. It was called flying the “chrome dome” by B52 pilots.
If it happens, I hope to be very close to ground zero, so I can be vaporized. The idea of stumbling through a post-apocalyptic nuclear-blasted landscape, riddled with radiation sickness, would be a horrible nightmare come true.
@@GroomLeader What a great comfort that is LOL. The great comic irony in this movie is that, in the end, it's Good Ol' Yankee Ingenuity (Maj. Kong) that brings Doomsday about. whoopee
I’ve always been impressed by the fact that the artificial looking plane from behind actually adds to the flavor of the scenes. I was an 11 year old kid when this first came out(in the middle of the ussr drive for dominance) and it really left an impression on me.
People nowadays worry too much about everything looking realistic. I'll be endlessly charmed by low budget practical effects that get the job done. Perhaps it was the best they could do at the time, but it works so well with the world of this movie
There's something Hitchcockian about the way we identify with the bomber crew and want them to succeed against all odds, even though it will ultimately mean extinction for the human race.
It's playing off terror in both directions. If they don't drop the bomb, does that mean that the US deterrent is so incompetent as to be meaningless? If so, then the Soviets could nuke us with ease. But if they do drop the bomb, then yes, it's WWIII, and as Einstein said, WWIV would be fought with sticks and stones...because that's all that would be left.
YES! I was just wondering if there's anyone out there comparing these two films! Of course, Nolan's Oppenheimer still doesn't hold a candle to this masterpiece of Kubrick's
A truly great film. I met an electrician called Phil Sellers. Turned out he was nephew of Peter, spitting image. The money nearly all went to Lynne Frederick his fourth wife ,who he was in the process of divorcing .
My father was a heavy bomber pilot and snickered as Slim Pickens rode that nuclear bomb to detonation altitude, he said the 52 would have been vaporized also way to close to target.
@@x808drifter Had they made their original target, they could have made a run that would "fling" the bomb from the plane and given them an opportunity to survive (possibly without enough fuel to make it back to base...but that's what parachutes are for).

This was one of the strangest, dark humor movies I've ever seen. Peter Sellers playing 3 parts, Dr Strangelove, an RAF Exchange Program liaison officer and the US President. Then there was George C Scott in one of his earlier movies. Slim Pickens as Maj Kong, playing in something other than a Western he was usually cased in. It was also one of the earliest parts for James Earl Jones, future voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars and playing Thulsa Doom in Conan. That is just to name a few of the great actors in this movie. I've always loved the ending to this movie and the Vera Lynn song "We'll Meet Again". I served in the Strategic Air Command, AKA SAC, it was the best Command the USAF ever had and I was torn apart when my orders to go back to SAC were canceled when they Deactivated SAC, rotating back from PACAF. Wound up in a POS TAC Fighter Unit. However the B-52 Stratofortress Association, wants to make We'll Meet Again as the official song of SAC. It would be fitting and I hope that happens.I do miss those big birds and the most talented Aircraft Maintenance people I was fortunate to work with through some of the most difficult times.
Agreed to all of the above. So many wonderful actors and acting. In this snippet, among other highlights, George C Scott was just magnificent. He made the character so real and so human. Like when he realized he was going too far in his excitement answering the Pres. What do you think?
Peter Sellers was also going to play Major Kong, but couldn't move round the cramped B-52 set due to a sprained ankle. Slim Pickens took over the role.
That B52 is a big bird. Uncle Sam had a couple in Ramey. Wings so heavy they had to be propped up. I'm glad the cold war is over, lived my whole youth knowing my life had a two hour timer. 😂
A great portrayal of what could happen in this crazy world. Government spends more money on building their military and supporting other countries at war than they do to help suffering.
RIP James Earl Jones. And this movie was fabulous!! So many aspects from Peter Sellers (3 roles!!) to General Jack D. Ripper. George C. Scott may have the best combined serious/comedic performance ever. I salute the late-great Stanley Kubrick.
There was a great sense of fear that gripped Americans at this time. President Eisenhower even made a speech about the problem at one point. This movie made everyone laugh at the stupidity of Nuclear war and morons who were threatening the world with destruction. It's great therapy to laugh in the face of death. It allows you to live free of fear and "Give Peace a Chance." That's all we are saying.
Peter Sellers was originally cast as Major Kong giving him four roles in the film. Slim Pickens might never have played Major Kong if Sellers had not suffered a severe sprained ankle or pulled hamstring (accounts differ) and found it too difficult to move around inside the cramped B-52 set.

Shane Rimmer is in this as well. He became the voice of Scott Tracey? In Thunderbirds and along with Ed Bishop became the British film and TV’s go to for any roles that required and American or Canadian character. I had the privilege of meeting him at Aberdeen comicon but I felt sorry because he was clearly very elderly.
There's something so unsettling every time M. Kong is in the scene, with the weird close ups and film speed. Almost like some uncanny valley, non-human identity.
A few years before "Star Wars." Back when James Earl Jones was doing TV. Below is a link to the TV series "East Side, West Side." This 1963 episode about rats in tenement apartments in New York City features James Earl Jones, Diana Sands, Cecily Tyson, George C. Scott, and Douglas Turner Ward, among others. The image quality is not the greatest but the story line is a powerful one. ua-cam.com/video/8iL38nNJZfg/v-deo.html
Yeah, made less than two years after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Made at a time when above-ground nuclear tests were still the norm. God forbid if you lived in the Pacific islands where many of the nukes were exploded. Your life had no meaning, not to mention the lives of your offspring permanently damaged by nuclear exposure transferred from one generation to the next.
I was born '52. My parent let me watch this, maybe because of the comedy angle. They would not let me watch "Fail Safe" which was completely serious. Henry Fonda starred. U.S. accidentally nukes Moscow. To prevent all out nuclear war the President orders U.S. air force to nuke New York City "in exchange", which Russians accept.
Looks like there target is a Soviet R-7 ICBM Complex. One of the first Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles ever made, used by the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces. Quite a good researcher Kubrick.
I think he used as subtext or circumstance created the subtext. Dr. Strangelove was based on Wernher Von Braun and reflected Brit fears of who exactly is running NASA. Jews & Brits & others seriously did not like him & seriously worried about America going Nazi.
@@cheryldeboissiere1851 after the V2 attacks it's clear von Braun didn't had much friends in Britain, however for the US his skills still were almost something like a national asset

It’s my understanding they kinda kept him in the dark a bit he thought they making some great patriotic movie, not a dark comedy
