I watched this in the cinema when it came out. So funny ! John Candy was a unique man indeed. I miss him alot too. How many more movies he could've made..
"You want to hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right: I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold, hard cynic like you. But I don't like to hurt people's feelings. You think what you want about me, I'm not changing. I...I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. Because I'm the real article. What you see is what you get."
John Candy was just a funny dude. He was one of those people that could just naturally be funny and enjoyed making people laugh. I get a strange sense that he may have been a bit darker inside though. I didn't know the guy, but he gives me that vibe of a man who loved to make people laugh but was a pretty sad and lonely human when he was by himself. Just a vibe...could be wrong.
Cop: "What the hell are you driving?" John Candy: "We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick-of-time." Cop: "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" John Candy: "No, the speedometer's melted, and as a result, it's hard to say with any degree of accuracy haw fast we were going...but the radio still works!"
I got stopped by a cop late last night. Out of date tags and no taillights. He said I ought to run you in but I'm letting you go because there ain't nothing wrong with your radio.
My aunt Debb grew up with John Candy as her next door neighbor, the Candy's love her family so much that when they moved to another part of Ontario, the Candy's sold their house too and move next door again. Later on in life, Debb was surprised that Johnny the funny fat kid next door actually made something big out of himself.
I have to disagree, Minty. The hallucination scene where they turned into skeletons is anything but creepy. First time I saw that scene I couldn't stop laughing, and John Candy turning into the devil was the cherry on top. Probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. Truly an underrated movie. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a perfect Thanksgiving experience, imo.
What seals it as slapstick for me is after they come to a stop the camera angle over the hood and through the windshield with john candy holding the steering wheel which is bent to shape of his hands and steve martin's fingers dug into the dashboard and when he pulls them out they make that suction and pop noise. Absolutely fucking hilarious and not a word is spoken.
I hate that when played on regular TV they delete so much! It's one of the the best scenes! Reminds me of my husband, who when really upset used fuck to describe every word in a sentence! The f'ing car broke down on the f'ing highway in the middle of the f'ing rain leaving me f'ing stuck to walk two f'ing miles to get f'ing help! Loved the Old Fuck, may he RIP 💔
Yeah, just like the 70's BOMBSHELL Dian Parkinson on the Price is Right, lol! (Did you know Bob Barker actually boned her regularly? Have your game show host spayed or nuetered!)
Absolutely one of my all-time favorite films. Any "road warrior" has experienced every one of the multiple travel disasters portrayed here. It's especially poignant for me because the STL-Lambert International Airport has always been my personal "Bermuda Triangle" of sorts. A transportation black hole I can never seem to escape. So, for Neil's F-Bomb meltdown to happen, in exactly the spot where I, too, SO WANTED and NEEDED to let it rip, was (and remains) the ultimate fulfillment of a long simmering dream of mine.
They don't make classics like this anymore. John Candy I really miss his onscreen presence. Still remember when he passed I was in high school, that was a very sad day.
The truck scene with Candy turning into the devil was NEVER scary but absolutely hilarious. Candy dressed in a child-like devil costume made it all the more funny. From the first time I saw it right up until today one of the best and hilarious scenes in the movie. Right up there with Steve Martin cursing out poor Edie McClurg at the car rental place. Classic movie.
LOVE this movie and is my traditional Thanksgiving movie every year. Yeah that ending still gets even to this day and I'm glad they scrapped the original ending.
Seriously I can't even imagine that other ending! The whole idea of the movie is trying to get home to your loved ones and the friends we make along life's crazy roads and opening our hearts to them. "Hello Mr. Griffith" 😭😭😭
@@rosesmith6925 when Neal's wife greets him and Del says "Hello, Mrs. Page".....and then he is looks up and smiles with tears in his eyes....oh man....waterworks! Not to mention one of my close friends that passed away 2 years ago is named Marie so when Del says "Marie's been dead for 8 years"....😢😢
"I've never seen a guy get picked up by his testicles before. Lucky thing for you that cop passed by when he did, otherwise you'd be lifting up your schnuts to tie your shoes. I'm sorry, that's terrible. Do you have any idea how glad I am I didn't kill you?" (high voice) "Do you have any idea how glad I'd be if you had?" HAHAHAHA!!!!
I saw this when I was a kid on home video. I remember my mom losing her mind when Steve Martin went on his f-bomb tirade. That aside, this movie is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and the ending still makes me cry. Every. Fucking. Time. RIP John Candy.
This movie showed that Martin and Candy were not only great comedic performers, but also very competent actors. It' a shame that we lost Candy way too early, and that Martin has pretty much lost interest in making movies. People should also look up the number of films that John Hughes was involved in, whether writing, directing, or producing, it's amazing how prolific he was. Yeah, he's got a couple of stinkers in there, but overall a very good track record.
#9 is debatable. I’ve read that they shot the dinner (the flash scenes that Neil thinks about while going home in the train, was the original ending)... and Del was apart of that dinner. Another little interesting fact: The reason Del has a black eye towards the end of the movie is Bc Neil punches him after finding out Del didn’t get insurance for the rental car - which was used under Neil’s credit card.
Love this film....an underrated comedy classic,...I must have watched it over 100 times, and it never loses its comedic shimmer,..the proof of a great film
He was also Trini Lopez, the crossdressing Cuban hitman for Calderone in the pilot episode of Miami Vice. He ended up being so popular that the Izzy Moreno character was introduced to keep him around.
@@bengejuknowit3048 That scene, plus the f word scene and Dale's line ''what is wrong with you, you insensitive asshole'', are some of the funniest scenes you will see in anything. Also its ending breaks your heart everytime. By far one of the most special comedy flicks ever, and one of my all time favourites.
To me, it's THE John Hugh's masterpiece! And interesting tidbits you found Minty. As much as I'd love to see the "directors cut", I think it might be like The Blues Brothers. Though interesting to see the extra scenes, it just killed the pace and humor of the movie for me. The maturity of the movie I'd say is just right for 13+. The F bombs are gratuitous, but I'm sure kids hear more on the street on any given day than in one movie. And the scene between the two trucks to me is the funniest scene of ANY comedy movie! Though nightmarish, the editing is done so well there's nothing overpowering in the sequence, unless you step through it frame by frame and pause on it.
One of my favorite comedies. Steve Martin and John Candy have great chemistry together. Wonderful comedic scenes, heartwarming ending. I need to buy this movie!
As an American I appreciate that a comedy centered around a U.S. tradition has universal appeal. My family discovered an Australian comedy called THE CASTLE that is both hilarious and heartwarming. I think it’s even free on UA-cam. I’d love it if Minty did an video endorsing it because even in Texas my family quotes this film regularly.
When in comes to terrifying moments in otherwise family-friendly movies, I'd like to add the Cyborg sister at the end of Superman 3, and the Beta Unit with the gooey face from Last Starfighter. Nightmare fuel, the both of them.
There are seven movies that I watch at least one a year; Misery. Ferris Bueller's day off. Shawshank redemption. The breakfast Club. War games. Cujo. And of course last but not least, and my all time favorite once a year movie, you guessed it, Planes Trains and Automobiles. What a great movie, at the train station, that killed me. When John Candy drove between the trucks I laughed so hard I think I peed a little. God bless him. This movie is for anyone who has a heart and a soul and likes to giggle, or wet themselves. 😁 LoL There's acting, and then there's acting, the train platform and Steve and John going home, that was good. I love this movie. 🤗
I saw this the day it came out and still think it's one of the BEST ever Comedies and I always wondered why CANDY and MARTIN did not do another movie together! They worked perfectly together on this one! The F scene still makes me laugh every time! I heard a long time ago about all the extra scenes and always wanted to see those some day!
Watch this movie every Thanksgiving. Some of it was made in my home town of buffalo NY. So glad you did this movie minty. A few years back me and my family kinda had a planes trains and automobiles situation trying to get to my hubbys family in Wales UK. We never got there either. I kept hearing the music from the movie in my head everytime we had a problem on that trip.
Another great video. Love this movie. Have on DVD and it’s my go to each thanksgiving and yeah hard not to tear up at the ending. Lost John Candy way to soon.
This is hands down my favorite comedy. I never tire of rewatching it. I too, would love the director's cut. I totally disagree with you about #6. The reason the scene isn't scary is because the "large Marge" factor elevates the hilarity and practicality kills you as most people are probably already choking on their own laughter.
Another filming location you may not know about. Back in 1986, I was stationed at a US Naval airbase in central California, south of Fresno. There is no snow there but apparently because it was a night scene it didn't matter. The scene where they went off the freeway and blew through the intersection was filmed outside of that base on Hwy 198. The off-ramp and intersection were closed down for a couple of days for no apparent reason. I found out later through word of mouth why.
OK... there are so so so many pure gold scenes in "Planes Trains and Automobiles" but the one that is so hard to convey how hilarious it is because it has no lines of dialogue is the scene where Dell (played so convincingly and perfectly by John Candy) tries to take his winter coat off while driving... OMG THAT IS SO PERFECT !... and relatable... ... sorry ONE line of dialogue: "... let... go..."
Another single awesome detail about this movie is the fact that it's the ONLY Thanksgiving themed holiday movie. Whereas you have your plethora of Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc., "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" is the only holiday movie that highlights Thanksgiving.
Sorry but I've ALWAYS thought the "skeleton" scene was funny as hell. Especially with John Candy's maniacal laugh and devil getup which to this day, takes me right back to SCTV which my sister and I Ioved, growing up in the 80s. This movie is a true classic.
You gotta love the 80s porn music leading up to that scene. That's the funniest part of the whole movie. "So how bout those bears?" "Hell of a team, hell of a team!"
So glad to see another awesome video, thank you for all that you do to brighten up our lives! You are the best!
You're welcome :)
Alaskan Soldier
This was one of my favorite growing up, I’ve probably seen it 45 times in my life.
I saw this in the cinema with my mom, always a happy memory.
I agree =) Minty😎 your awesome bro
Same, love ya vids, minty, ,, #love this movie! !
I miss John Candy :(
Same, he's a comedic legend.
I miss both... John Candy and John Hughes :'( Both gone way before their time was over.
@@5th_horsemen oh the feels ... Good song
The world is less bright and fun without him. :-(
I watched this in the cinema when it came out. So funny !
John Candy was a unique man indeed.
I miss him alot too.
How many more movies he could've made..
“Where’s your other hand? Between two pillows. Those aren’t pillows!” Absolutely great.
Best scene of the movie. It still has me and my dad screaming with laughter!!
How 'bout those Bears??!!
FWIW, my special edition DVD of this movie is titled the "Those Aren't Pillows Edition."
Lmao. My favorite line in this movie 🤣🤣🤣
@@05gtdriver Helluva game. They got a great team this year!!
John Candy was truly a GOAT. He could go from gentle and heartbreaking to manic cackling in a beat. We lost a lot of great potential when he passed.
"You want to hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right: I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold, hard cynic like you.

one of my favorite as a kid. sympathic warm and funny. like a real uncle buck
Potential?? Hardly, John Candy had been around already by the time this movie came out.
I would buy that 4- hour version in a heartbeat!
I would be happy for that long version. One of my lifelong superfilms!
Me too.

Rest in peace John Candy. You gave me so many laughs through my entire life.
May you continue to make everyone happy, wherever you are.
I look just like John Candy, if he had a shaved head and a goatee, lol. (Donell is my wife)
Neal:
He says we're going the wrong way...
Del:
Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?
Yeah, how would he know... thannk youuu... [waves].
🤣🤣🤣🤣 So Many Good Parts in this Movie
Truhhck truhhhhck TRUHHHHHCK!
We just don't get comedies or comedians like this anymore. I love this movie.
True
Cop: "What the hell are you driving?"
John Candy: "We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick-of-time."
Cop: "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
John Candy: "No, the speedometer's melted, and as a result, it's hard to say with any degree of accuracy haw fast we were going...but the radio still works!"
Sabatheus - That scene always makes me lmao!!!!
John Candy: Clear as a bell though. Don't ask me how.
Lol ive probably seen this wonderful movie 20 times and laughed at that scene 20 times!
I got stopped by a cop late last night. Out of date tags and no taillights. He said I ought to run you in but I'm letting you go because there ain't nothing wrong with your radio.
Hilarious, that scene is so funny 😅
"Her first baby come out sideways, she didn't scream or nothing"
"isn't that something?! You're a real trooper!"
That character was played by Dylan Baker, who’s done a ton of great stuff.
Still, use that line in an old random conversation. Spit in the handshake 😆
said what get your lazy behind out here, lol
She's small but she's real strong

Planes, trains, and automobiles is a classic comedy, and I'm with you on wanting to see the longer cut if it exists!
I have to disagree, Minty. The hallucination scene where they turned into skeletons is anything but creepy. First time I saw that scene I couldn't stop laughing, and John Candy turning into the devil was the cherry on top. Probably my favorite scene in the whole movie.
Truly an underrated movie. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a perfect Thanksgiving experience, imo.
The amount of times I rewound that bit as a kid virtually crying with laughter 😂
It's a visualization of their emotional trauma going through the near-death experience! And deep in his heart, Neil blames the whole thing on Del.
Sadly I'm with Minty. I saw that scene when I was hell of little without much context and had to look away but I was told it was "funny"
What seals it as slapstick for me is after they come to a stop the camera angle over the hood and through the windshield with john candy holding the steering wheel which is bent to shape of his hands and steve martin's fingers dug into the dashboard and when he pulls them out they make that suction and pop noise. Absolutely fucking hilarious and not a word is spoken.
That rant at the car rental was epic. Heard that was a scene Steve Martin was looking forward to doing in the movie.
Oh boy.
Oh boy WHAT
You're f****ed

@@cmdraftbrn, so true, you gotta respect the Gems of entertainment!
I always loved how John Candy displayed his Casio watch for the hotel guy.

Like it's a really good watch :) I've had casios they're ok but I prefer armtron
dutch was written by hughes and is a thanksgiving road trip movie
They didn't use trains and planes on their trip
Dutch is highly underrated
Watched it earlier today
Agreed. Watched it today as well, hadn’t seen it in years but still enjoyed it.
lol Dutch! great memory. thanks pal

The other Thanksgiving road movie is "Dutch", also a John Hughes flick and a yearly must see.
havent seen that movie in ages!😱 thanks for reminding me of it! 💗
Same. Great movie. Will have to find it
I watch that movie every year. Highly underrated movie
I've never heard of it but will look for it, I like Hughs' style
@@DarkMetalSpider yeah dutch and this are very similar movies
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I still laugh every time I see it. RIP John Candy. You left this world too soon.

"Oh yeah he's drunk!"
“You’re going to kill someone!”
This movie really was a work of pure genius...as this video goes on I realize how much I truly love John Hughes movies. He is desperately missed.

Surprised you didn't mention that the Home Alone house was used 3 years before Home Alone was released
Not the same house, but nearly identical!
Not the same house but on the same street, so they could be neighbours

There are seven movies that I watch at least one a year;
Misery.
Ferris Bueller's day off.
Shawshank redemption.
The breakfast Club.
War games.
Cujo.
And of course last but not least, and my all time favorite once a year movie, you guessed it, Planes Trains and Automobiles. What a great movie, at the train station, that killed me.

Absolutely LOVED this movie growing up!
"I want a fkn car RIGHT. FKN. NOW" 🤣😭
The "large Marge" scene was filmed in Lemoore California on the 198. They had to use fake snow along the edges of the highway for the scene
Cool! How do you know?... Fresno here.
@@psychocircus7002 because I lived in Lemoore at the time. It was the only shot in the Valley that had "snow" on the ground for about a month
Candy and Martin's stand alone movies are comedy gold, but them together was a gem no doubt. Comedy giants at their best
4 1/2 hour cut of PT&A?
Yup, I'm in...
So many lines from this movie I repeat over and over again...omg masterpiece! Love the cameos from all the awesome Hughes movies!!!! He was a genius
How come Hollywood can't make heartfelt, funny, warm and exciting movies like this anymore?! How did they lose their way...

OK... there are so so so many pure gold scenes in "Planes Trains and Automobiles" but the one that is so hard to convey how hilarious it is because it has no lines of dialogue is the scene where Dell (played so convincingly and perfectly by John Candy) tries to take his winter coat off while driving... OMG THAT IS SO PERFECT !... and relatable...
... sorry ONE line of dialogue: "... let... go..."
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks, Minty! Your reviews never disappoint!
Another single awesome detail about this movie is the fact that it's the ONLY Thanksgiving themed holiday movie. Whereas you have your plethora of Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc., "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" is the only holiday movie that highlights Thanksgiving.
Sorry but I've ALWAYS thought the "skeleton" scene was funny as hell. Especially with John Candy's maniacal laugh and devil getup which to this day, takes me right back to SCTV which my sister and I Ioved, growing up in the 80s.
This movie is a true classic.
One of my all-time favourite films. Nice little docco.

Seeing John Candy always makes me sad. He was a national treasure. Even though he's been dead almost 30 years!
After Dumb and Dumber, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is #2 on my list of all-time classic comedies!
Those aren't PILLOWS!!! Another great one, Minty💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
This movie is a work of art and the funniest movie I've seen,John candy legend!
"Those aren't pillows!"
You gotta love the 80s porn music leading up to that scene. That's the funniest part of the whole movie.
"So how bout those bears?" "Hell of a team, hell of a team!"
That's the most memorable line in the whole movie for me!
Not the only Thanksgiving road movie! Dutch with Ed O’Neill!!
Jeri Ryan the ultimate Star trek Babe.
7 of 9 !
Mary Tamm of Doctor Who
Still Jadzia Dax for me :)
Love this movie. Great one. John Candy at his best.
That devil scene is one of the funniest scenes ever! It wasn’t creepy!
Minty, could you do “My Blue Heaven”? It’s in my top five favorites.
“The shoes are tragic”
It’s a veg-e-table.
Love that flick!
@@morimo11 I love arugula.
“My Blue Heaven” is an under-rated gem; I actually own two copies on DVD, in case i want to watch it twice....
One of my all times favorites. Watch it every Thanksgiving.
His wife's body was totally in that crate... hahaha
