Three of Bill Murray's brothers are in this film. His brothers John (played his brother), Joel (friend at the brother's party), and Brian Doyle Murray (played Frank's Father).
This was always my favorite version of A Christmas Carol and one of my top 3 Christmas movies of all time. Only behind Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story.
2:09 “It’s Lee Majors!” Lee Majors played astronaut Steve Austin in the popular TV show, “The Six Million Dollar Man”, a show about the first bionic man. Steve Austin suffered a horrible crash, but he was saved by bionic legs, a bionic arm and a bionic eye, giving him super powers! He had super vision, super strength and super speed. He was a superhero! One of the more goofy episodes featured Steve going up against Bigfoot! 😆
Did you get the Richard Pryor joke at 14:25 when he said he thought it was Richard when he was on fire. Richard Pryor actually set himself on fire 2 different times. Really really bad burns. Poured alcohol over himself and lit it up
One of my fave films overall. A rather closely well-done adaptation of Dickens' timeless tale of self-worth and being self-less. Bill Murray absolutely crushes in this role - at the time of filming his beloved mom was dying of cancer and the final soliloquy he truly is moved (you see him struggling and the tears are genuine); nailed it in one take. I was lucky enough to see a special anniversary screening of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK with Karen Allen in attendance and afterwards got to meet her for a quick autograph - I asked her how it was working w/Bill and she beamed and said "Fantastic!" :D Murray Christmas indeed! Happy New Year's guys! :D PS: Some incidental trivia - someone already broke down the real-life Murray brothers but also there is Mitch Glazer (he's one of the party guests at his brother's apartment) who wrote the screenplay (as well as Michael O' Donaghue who plays the priest at Frank's cremation) - both were writers for SNL. The whole Richard Burton thing was an inside joke by the writers - Murray had done impressions of the actor on SNL and threw it in as a goof. David Johansen who plays The Ghost Of Christmas Past is an acclaimed musician/singer who had a band in the '70s The New York Dolls as part of the glam rock scene (like David Bowie & Lou Reed) and later as a solo created another persona with Buster Poindexter whose 'Hot Hot Hot' hit has Murray in a cameo bit in the video.
I think Marian is sick. I thought he would like this movie more than it appeared. But Mary Joy enjoyed it for both of them. Happy New Year, guys. I wish your family the very best for 2025.
Happy New Year! *FUN FACT:* The man playing *Frank’s dad* is *Bill Murray's brother Brian,* the man playing his *brother James* is his *brother John,* and *one of the guests* at the dinner party is his *brother Joel.* It's a Murray Christmas! 21:52 They mistook Frank for *Richard “Dick” Burton,* an actor who actually looks a little like he could be related to Bill Murray 😂 *Burton* married and divorced *Elizabeth “Liz” Taylor,* that’s why when they ask Frank for money as he’s leaving he says “I blew it all on Liz”.
Only Bill Murray could have played Frank Cross. He was an outrageous, over-the-top version of Ebenezer Scrooge. Murray was the perfect actor to play him.
I’ve always wondered if this meant that Frank didn’t even have any toys. I mean, his mom must have gotten him some, right? Yes, I know it isn’t real. But it does make me wonder if they’re saying this guy literally never buys toys for his kids.
I think what scares Scrooge most is ALL OF IT together. The message to me is this: You, Scrooge, used to be a better person, from when you were a neglected little boy to a lively young man with a sweet sister and girlfriend. Then you changed and it lost you a sweet woman and the children you would have had with her. You cared more about money than family and missed your dear sister’s last years, since she died young. She left your nephew as a legacy, but you avoid him. Because you have cared more about money than literally anything, not only will you suffer the fate of Jacob Marley, but Jacob Marley + at least 7 more years of greed and cruelty. Because of you, Tiny Tim, whose family cares for him the best they can, will die young. Because of you, people despair. And when you die, you will die alone in your cold chambers, your debtors will rejoice, your servants will steal the very clothes off your back to get payment for their services, your peers will joke about whether to go to the funeral, and you will move on to pay for your wrongs, including the death of Tim. And since you’re old, you only have so many years left to try and clear your debts before you pass on. With all that laid on his back, seeing his death and knowing what waited for him would be pretty horrifying. And somewhere deep down he remembers being a forgotten little boy, without even the love Tim had. So there’s the extra guilt.
Veal is meat from a calf - a very young cow or bull (cattle). Beef comes from older cattle. Lamb is meat from a young sheep. Mutton comes from older sheep.
@@bradkirchhoff5703 ... Do yourself a favor. Get a dictionary and look up the words "veal" and "lamb". Don't let your pride get in the way of the facts. Veal & beef come from cattle. Lamb & mutton come from sheep.

That's funny. When I recently watched this I thought the guy that played his brother looked familiar.😉

I loved this version! Let’s go! ❤🎉
HAPPY New Year to you and yours!! Stay Blessed❤❤

I’m so old that I feel like I’m the only one here who got the Lee Majors joke.
We can rebuild him.... better stronger faster
Nah, I’m 52, that was my childhood! But it’s getting to be a pretty obscure joke these days.

I don't blame Frank on the hammering! That sound drives me crazy, too!
Happy New Year! *FUN FACT:* The man playing *Frank’s dad* is *Bill Murray's brother Brian,* the man playing his *brother James* is his *brother John,* and *one of the guests* at the dinner party is his *brother Joel.* It's a Murray Christmas!

*Burton* married and divorced *Elizabeth “Liz” Taylor,* that’s why when they ask Frank for money as he’s leaving he says “I blew it all on Liz”.
And i think the guy who gets fired with a gun it's Zed from the Police academy series😂
@@tiagoalves2056 Yes, his name is Bobcat Goldthwait.

Veal is baby cow. It is meat. The dad gave his son a package of meat for xmas.

16:39. VEAL is lamb meat. That's what his dad fot him for Christmas
Veal is meat from a calf - a very young cow or bull (cattle). Beef comes from older cattle.
Lamb is meat from a young sheep. Mutton comes from older sheep.
@stogie2112- lmao no….Veal is baby lamb meat. I grew up farming. I live in central Illinois where the only thing around me is farming.
@@bradkirchhoff5703 ... Do yourself a favor. Get a dictionary and look up the words "veal" and "lamb".
Don't let your pride get in the way of the facts.
Veal & beef come from cattle.

@bradkirchhoff5703 What do you mean?No I said lamb
"En-choy"??
