And hey....if you like dogs, then you gotta see much of the same crew in "Best In Show", also improvised, about a dog show. HILARIOUS. They also did another music related one that's good, "A Mighty Wind". I'm sure people have told you: Harry Shearer (the mustached member) does, like, half the voices on The Simpsons (Mr. Burns, Smithers, etc). And the other two you see in millions of movies and TV shows, always different. GREAT reaction! I'm a very happy subscriber!!!!

      Mostly. Christopher Guest has dual citizenship and is actually (minor) British Royalty and was in the House of Lords up until the late '90s when they reduced the size of that chamber. IIRC he's Baron Hayden-Guest. His father was a diplomat and he grew up mostly in the NYC area. His natural accent is more Transatlantic than British though. Ironically I think Michael McKean pulls off the accent better than Guest.

    Hi guys, kudos for another great reaction. Two of my favourite facts about this film are:
    1)- Harry Shearer plays Derek Smalls (the bass player) with a slight West Midlands accent and he even wears a Shrewsbury Town FC shirt (for context they are a fairly obscure English soccer team...sorry to all the 'Shrews' fans out there).
    2)- Tap's last keyboardist and drummer were both actually in English rock bands of the 1970s (Atomic Rooster & Rare Bird). 😉😊🥰

    If you could sit and listen to/watch them for hours, maybe you should see if the DVD extras are available online. I'm not suggesting another reaction, I'm just letting you know. There's a lot of stuff that never made it into the movie and there is a cast commentary track on which they stay in character all the way through and it's as good as the actual movie. You might want to check it out for yourselves if you can.
    I'm glad you had fun with this. I think it splits audiences a bit: you either get the comedy and it's hilarious, or you just don't get it at all. I'm glad you got it.

    "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?"
    "These go to eleven."
    Fun Fact: Director Rob Reiner is indeed Marty DiBergi.
    What Script Fact: Although the scenarios were written in advance, much of the actual dialogue was ad-libbed.
    Art Imitates Art Fact: Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling cited the movie as inspiration for the unfortunate events that cause all Defence Against The Dark Arts teachers at Hogwarts to leave the job before completing a full school year.
    Music Enthusiast Fact: The actors are all competent musicians, so they co-wrote all the original songs and they're actually playing on the soundtrack. Although I found no charting information, Big Bottom (1984) specifically is considered a rock classic.
    Historical Fact: Several rock stars have commented on what an uncannily accurate spoof of the rock and heavy metal world this film was. Ozzy Osbourne said when he first watched the film, he was the only person who WASN'T laughing; he thought it was all too real. "I didn't laugh, I wept. It was so close to the truth." noted U2 guitarist The Edge. Marillion had five drummers in the space of a year between their first two albums, which guitarist Steve Rothery later admitted was: "like Spinal Tap."

If you know The Beatles at all, that is a must see, hilarious, brilliant, spot-on, and again, the music is fantastic and mind-bogglingly authentic sounding. (And catchy!). Bonus: It's only an hour long and no one has reacted to it yet! If you know the basic Beatles story/biography, it's even better. Like Spinal Tap, the more you know, the more you'll get.

The bass player (Harry Shearer) you might know from the Simpsons as he does the voice of Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner and a few others. Also, some notable cameos in Spinal Tap - Billy Crystal with the "mime is money" line, Artie Fufkin from Polymer Records who was played by Paul Shaffer. Yes, that Paul Shaffer that led David Letterman's Late Night band for many years.

    Spinal Tap still does shows every now and then- more like appearances, not full up shows- and the running gag is that a few days ahead of time they advertise for drummers. This the absolutely best fake band ever. Second album title was 'Break like the Wind'. (Did you catch Billy Crystal as the mime? "Mime is Money" Also, a young Angelica Huston is the lady who made the 'Stonehenge' prop.)

    Apparently, at least it is what I heard, the stonehenge bit actually happened to Black Sabbath (neither Ozzy nor Dio incarnation though) but instead of making it smaller they actually made it bigger than it was supposed to be.
    The bass player voices a few characters on the Simpsons, Mr. Burns and Smithers among others.
    I recal seeing a performance of Big Bottom here on UA-cam, it might have been at a festival, where every band playing in the festival went up on stage to play that song.
    As far as suggestions off the top of my head of movies including great soundtrack (I will cheat a bit and include musicals):
    Reservoir Dogs, Sound of Music, the Phantom of the Opera, The Producers (2005), Knight's Tale, Guy Ritchie's King Arthur

    If you have opportunity to do so, watch this with the commentary track on. They do the entire commentary in character and it is hysterical! It is almost like watching an entirely new movie with them riffing and making cracks while being their characters again reflecting on the documentary. So funny and I think underseen, since it is only on the DVD/physical version, as far as I know. It's a treat if you can watch it. Also, they are making a NEW Spinal Tap movie... scheduled to start filming this month, in fact! PSYCHED! :-D

    A great story many don't know. They put together a folk group called 'The Folksmen' and they would get into makeup looking completely different. Then they went on tour opening up for Spinal Tap. They would get bood and many people never realized they were the same guys. The Folksmen are featured heavily in A Mighty Wind, another mockumentary by them focusing on a folk music tribute show.

The film will be Castle Rock Entertainment's first film following its revival in 2021. Filming is scheduled to start in February 2024."

    People who work in the music biz don't think this is a mockumentary. There is too much overlap with real life, from failling set pieces to backstage dramas.
    The 80's touring scene really was the wild west. It is far more corporate and sanitised today. I have witnessed bands lost backstage and set pieces failling to work, necessitating live repairs during a gig. I absolutely love this film!

    All the actors are famous well traveled comedians. Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest)and St Hubbins (Micheal McKean) were on SNL. Harry Shearer played the bass player was on SNL and many other comedy shows. They've done a whole slew of spoof movies, but Spinal Tap started it all.
    They are just competent enough playing music that they could perform these songs (which is in itself a spoof about 80s Hair Metal).

    This movie pretty much created the "mockumentary" concept. Most of the folks here have collaborated on several other mockumentary's, the best IMO, being "Best in Show" which follows a group of people and their dogs getting ready to compete in a big dog show. Others are "A Mighty Wind" (a reuinion of an old folk music group), "Waiting for Guffman" (about community theater), "For Your Consideration" (cast of an indy movie anticipating a surprise Oscar nomination), and "Mascots" which I just found out about but haven't seen.
