You recognized Ken Olandt because he was in Leprechaun but when you see Biff from Back To The Future it's "He looks familiar."
THAT is super funny, love that 😂
How about the lead actress/final girl Amy Steele from Friday the 13th part 2
I KNEW IT WAS BIFF....lol
The title says it all. "April Fool's Day" is the only 80s slasher movie where no one got killed.
This makes me happy.
April Fools Day is my favorite 80s slasher flick.
April Fools Day and Terror Train are two underrated 80s slashers that I always recommend to my younger friends who are just getting into the genre
- how do you make people miss their mouths? Its called a dribble glass
- can that happen to a cigar? Exploding cigar is an old trick/prank
😂😂😂😂
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The CIA tried to kill Fidel Castro with exploding cigars. They should have gone for the exploding whoopee cushin.
Look up cigarette loads. They look like little toothpicks you can shove into a cig or cigar.
“Skies out… Thighs out…” 🤣❤️
in the 80's, after Halloween was a success, every holiday/celebration got a horror movie, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Graduation Day, Prom Night, St. Patricks Day, etc.
pissed me off when they canceled the president's day movie...
Ashleigh needs a ‘guilty pleasures’ category to go with the ‘so bad it’s good’ category
Up in smoke.
The room
The actress in the ending scene with the Jack-in-the box is Leah Pinsent, who played Nan. The scene was filmed three or four months after principle photography.
Let's take a moment to appreciate Deborah Foreman, who wasn't a great actress but was incredibly photogenic. She had a decent run in the 80's with horror films like this, but also Valley Girl (her best known film), My Chauffeur (my favorite of her films, and hers too), and some other supporting parts.
Deborah was fantastic in "Valley Girl", still one of my all-time favorite films with an amazing debut by Nicolas Cage. I recently went to a big anniversary screening in LA and almost the entire cast was there (no Nic, of course) along with director Martha Coolidge and members of The Plimsouls (but no Peter Case, sadly). It was really fun.
She did pretty well in this movie... her slow descent into 'madness' was pretty realistic
I love Foreman, I’ve always thought she was gorgeous!
Let's not forget her part in Real Genius: "Can you hammer a 6 inch nail through a board with your penis?" "No" "Girl's gotta have standards"
Waxwork! Her scene with de Sade was ..... memorable!
The tall, blonde actor that seemed so familiar, think "Back to the Future."
Thomas F. Wilson is Biff Tannen from from the Back To The Future trilogy! “Hello, Hello! Anybody Home!? Lmfao 😂🤣
I kept calling him buff 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Think Mcfly, THINK!
@@Hollyisthedog Thanks for finishing that classic dialogue from the original BTTF!
Whoa! This is a movie full of 80s actors where we know not their names…but instantly recognize them from other 80s movies. We’ve got 2 from “Just One of the Guys”. We’ve got “Valley Girl”, “Back to the Future”, “Friday the 13th, part 2”, “Summer School”…just to name a few. Cool!!
Deborah Foreman!!! Just remembered Valley Girl’s name!!! Go, me!!
Deborah Foreman also had a small part in the movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer.
Have you ever seen a movie called Miracle Mile? It's got Goose from Top Gun, the desk sergeant from RoboCop, the psychiatrist from Terminator, Tasha Yar from Next Generation, all in one scene. Plus the Mayor's aid from Ghostbusters 2.
Thomas F. Wilson - Biff from BTTF
She needs to watch Summer School.
@@TheOicyu812 Real Genius is great!
Old camcorders used to need a separate tape recorder and/or battery in a separate cases. My dad had me take along a VCR so he could record video directly to it. I dropped it down a flight of stairs but it was made out of metal and dented the stairs. .
When it was a single unit it was called a "camcorder." Separately, it was a video camera attached to a VTR (video tape recorder).
The guy "that looked familiar" played Biff in "Back to the Future".
A Louis Gossett Jr film might be in order in memory. Perhaps An Officer And A Gentleman.
Nah watch his favorite film he ever did the criminally underrated “Enemy Mine”
I think toy soldiers is better
Toy soldiers
Iron Eagle or Toy Soldiers would be awesome too.
Officer and a Gentleman was his historic Oscar winning role.
Weekend bed & breakfasts/inns with "Murder Mystery Weekends" is definitely a thing. I believe they have become quite popular.
Yea we lived in Richmond for a while and there was a pseudo castle that had been turned into catered murder mystery events and weekends... it was pricey and very popular... We finally saved up and went to one, and honestly it was pretty dope lol... the food was better than it had any right to be and the mystery was pretty good, not to mention getting to walk around and explore the house with a bunch of other people while you are all dressed up was pretty fun.
We rented this VHS movie for my 12th birthday slumber party 🎉😂
Buffy is Deborah Foreman who was previously in Valley Girl and Real Genius. I recommend both.
Nathan from Leprechaun, Ginny from Friday the 13th part 2, Biff from Back to The Future series are in this Ashleigh!
As an 80's kid, I had a huge crush on Deborah Foreman.
How could you not?
Deborah Foreman was 80s film gold. Definitely don’t miss Valley Girl with her and young Nick Cage. Perfect summer fun.
A vote for Valley Girl 👍
I'm always surprised that no one reacts to Valley Girl, what a fun movie!
The twist that it was all a joke, is what made this film for me. It kept it from being just another slasher from the '80s. I saw this when it was first released and always thought it was overlooked.
I love movies with a Twist ending theres the famous one we all know and this
This movie is a hidden gem. It doesn't get enough play. I first saw this back in high school. My friend invited a bunch of us over for a viewing party. We all lost it during the big reveal.
I went and saw this on April Fool's Day in 1986 when I was a freshman in college at Purdue.
I've been waiting for Ages (Since the First "Hallobeans") for you to react... and each year I HAVE Suggested it!
So... Big a Super Big "Thank You" Ashleigh!
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've recommended this movie repeatedly! Love this movie!
I always mix this one up with Happy Birthday To Me.
Happy birthday to me is the only horror film that I actually jumped
I was a junior in high school and went to see this movie when it came out. I loved it! Nice to see it being reacted to. This was not a widely known blockbuster but still one of my favorites from back in the day.
There's a thing called a squib. The size of a toothpick but less than a inch long. You push it into a cigar or cigarette. When it's ;it and burns down to the squib, the squib explodes. Not as much damage as they showed in the movie, usually just a loud pop.
I have always thought that Deborah Foreman did an amazing job of acting in "Valley Girl" (1983).
The script may be silly, but her reactions and dialog delivery seemed very natural for how teenagers behaved in 1983.
If you want to have some good laughs, from another silly movie, check out "My Chauffeur" (1986).
I love Amy Steel, she’s so good in Friday the 13th Part 2.
I first watched this on my birthday, April 1st, 1987 on vhs. I've loved it ever since. APRIL FOOOOOOOOOOLS!
This was fun!!!
Amy Steele fan here❤
The ending was a reshoot and both actresses hair has changed, Nan was the one pranking Muffy with the fake knife!
I'm so old I saw this in the theater 😂😂😂
I enjoyed it
I loved it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This movie is widely credited with murdering the 80's horror craze. Yep. Muffy, Buffy, Chaz and the gang killed Jason, Freddy, Michael, Leatherface and all the rest for a decade. But they came back. They always come back.
I remember taping this off HBO back in the days on the VHS with this and Friday the 13th part 4. I still have the VHS, lol.
I had it on one with Murphy’s Romance. No idea where it came from but watched both countless times…lol
Buffy/Muffy is Deborah Foreman. She was in Valley Girl and the underrated My Chauffeur. Kit is Amy Steel from Friday The 13th part 2. This film is a veritable who's who of 80s' C-list character actors.
I don't think I ever heard of this film 🎞 . Also Lou Gossiset JR died will there a poll. The only name I notice is Thomas F. Wilson from Back to the Future. Biff by the way. Well the 1's were quick in 911 on rotery phones.
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That tall guy is Tom Wilson (Biff from Back to the Future).
Class of '86 ... We're still holding up Too 😂😂❤❤❤
❤️
Great movie! One of my favorite forgotten gems of the 80's. Don't bother with the remake. It's crap! 😅 The blond girl at the end was the girl Muffy teased with the crying baby.
I loved it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 agree on remake
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 agree
This is a classic horror film. I'm happy you are watching it.
I loved it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's a lot better than I remember it. A lovely surprise, actually.
A great thriller about twins from back in the day and starring James Spader, is "Jack is Back." A classic horror film from 1972 also about twins is "The Other," not to be confused with later and similar sounding titles.
While this movie may not have "launched" any careers, there were quite a few that would work steadily in movies and TV throughout the 80s-90s. Ken Oldant and Clayton Rohrer both appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation in central roles. Tom Wilson, of course, was in the Back To The Future franchise. Deborah Foreman had a steady career appearing in both the original Valley Girl and making a cameo in the 2020 remake. Jay Baker is another Star Trek alum, having appeared on Deep Space Nine. His acting career may not have been as extensive as his castmates in this movie but he's fairly well known in the industry behind the scenes as a producer, director and writer.
I'd happily suggest checking out their IMDb pages to find some of their work. Some may not be reactionary for your channel, Ashleigh, but they are certainly worthy of watching for entertainment. Just One Of The Guys and Shag: The Movie are just two worthy of reactions.
I’ve loved this film since I first saw it on cable in 1987. Glad you reacted to it!
NEVER heard of this movie…so did a little research. Skip is played by Griffin O’Neal..son of actor Ryan O’Neal (What’s Up Doc).
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Such an underrated classic! Likeable characters, a good mystery that unravels over time. It's definitely one that divides horror fans. You either like it or hate it.
The girl at the end who "sliced" Muffy's throat was Nan, the girl who was upset over the abortion. It was her way of getting back at her.
You should read up on the original ending they had planned. It's in the novelization and is *wild* !
Ashleigh, Ashleigh , Ashleigh. I recommend this movie last year in the comments. I love this movie. I love Deborah Foreman. The tall blond guy is Biff from back to the future.
I saw this on VHS when I was 10 and loved it. Haven't seen it since.
I love the ending credits song. If anyone wants it, it was written by Charles Bernstein and performed by Jerry Whitman and Linda Harman.
the guy who plays skip, the cousin who ends up being the twin brother at the end the actor is farrah faucets stepson.
Ashleigh opened up a can of worms now. Next needs to be Prom Night, Graduation Day, Mother's Day, and for Father's Day lets go with the classic The Stepfather. Personally I like the Prom Night Mary Lou. Would recommend being lit for that one.
And Happy Birthday to Me on her birthday!
Don't forget Terror Train!
Happy Birthday from another April baby, I love this theme for the month!
I loved it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Happy birthday to you both from a fellow April baby!
extension from last comment. Ashleigh does that Mannequin look familiar? rumor has it ( this is what I heard ) That Mannequin at least the mold they used to make it had a career, she was in 9 to 5 as the one being carried before cutting to Jane and lily characters looking at scarfs for Mr. Hart's wife , it was in this film being dragged by Muffy and then she retired with dignity in the film Mannequin as one of the unfortunate stolen mannequins the ex girlfriend throws in the shredder thing.
So happy you enjoyed this one! April Fool's Day has been one of my favourites since the 80s, but I'm glad it's finally getting more appreciation.
I loved Deborah Foreman. She was in a number of 80s movies I watched on VHS. Valley Girl with Nic Cage, My Chauffeur (that has an insane WTF? moment), Real Genius, Waxwork, The Experts, and Lunatics: A Love Story. I understand she's a successful photographer now.
This also has Amy Steel, who you saw in Friday the 13th Part 2. Oh, and that is Ken Olandt from Leprechaun.
Good eye Ashleigh. That's Ken Olandt from "Leprechaun".
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of the most underappreciated slashers of the era, it's fantastic
Everyone has the same reaction of “who is that??” in the end because they pulled Nan’s hair back so far and did a close-up on her. You couldn’t tell who the actress was.
Thomas F. Wilson is the only actor I recognise in this movie
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That was a funny hell of a ride 😂 also April is my birthmonth too 🎉 in fact I turn 40 this friday and I can't stress enough how much fun you gave me (and all the others) over the last few years. Thanks a lot 😊✌🥳
This one always surprises people - not only in the fool, but in how good it is. It starts out as a low-budget low-intelligence slasher of the 80s, and then turns into one of the best horror movies where no one actually dies.
It always leaves the viewer with "Of course, they told you in the title is was APRIL FOOLS", but everyone falls for it.
It was fun seeing the same expression on your face as the character in the movie at the reveal of everyone is alive.
You have to give credit for the inspiration of this, Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" which was made into the movie "Ten Little Indians" (the novel was better, and that's coming from a preferred movie watcher).
This movie used a lot of people's exposure to the one-by-one bump-off of an isolated group, who-is-doing-it, evil twin, last girl standing who figures it out; to pull a big April Fools joke on the audience - very clever. The misdirection of having the short, simple, funny pranks being pulled-off to bring down the audience's guard and suspicions was geinus; and those pranks were from the old lame ones (lke the dribble glasses) to the very inventive ones.
Did you think yourself clever for figuring out the mystery earlier than the "last girl standing"? I did when I saw it back in the 80s. As soon as the letter about the escape from the institution was found, I said "see, that's not Muffy that has been acting all wierd and crazy; that's her twin sister whose taken Muffy's place."
Now I have to remind you that I recommended this movie to you years ago.
Here's a longer list than then:
Where Eagles Dare(1968)
Eddie and the Cruisers(1983)
April Fools Day(1986)
Total Recall(1990)
The Pink Panther(1963)
2001: A Space Oddessy(1968)
No Way Out(1987)
Night Of The Comet(1984)
The Thomas Crown Affair(1968)
Logan's Run(1976)
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly(1966)
The Sting(1973)
Wargames(1983)
Planet Of The Apes(1968)
The Great Escape(1963)
The Last Starfighter(1984)
Murder By Death(1976)
The Andromeda Strain(1971)
Dirty Harry(1971)
The Bad News Bears(1976)
Blade Runner(1982)
The Magnificent Seven(1960)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid(1969)
The Dirty Dozen(1967)
I think you've now done a number of these. This movie was 3rd on my list, so you need to get to the first 2 which are amazing movies.
Dribble glasses have holes in the glass that make you dribble when you drink from it.
Exploding cigars have a firecracker built inside it.
Whopping cushion... I'm sure you can figure that one out.
OMG, this is one of my favorite Horror films from the 80s, and I am so glad you watched it! When I show 80s Horror movies to friends, this one pops up often. I'm usually not a fan of these kinds of endings (or the "it's all a dream" endings), but it was appropriate for this film. They attempted to remake the movie in 2008, but I never watched it, and based on reviews I'm kind of glad I didn't. Deborah Foreman was a good actress, and you should definitely watch her in Valley Girl. She did another Horror film in 1988 called Waxwork which was also great (well, until the very end), that you should check out as well. I'm looking forward to you watching Ratched as I've had it on my Watch Later for some time but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Perhaps your reaction will be the push that gets me to finally watch it.
You may recognize the Biff character from Back To The Future and the blonde from Friday the 13th that killed Jason’s mom.
How has this never been recommended to you?! Love this movie! Grew up with it. :)
This movie had actors from "Valley Girl" (Muffy in this film), The blonde who was one of the brunt of the joke was the final survivor of Friday the 13th Part 2. The guy she was with is also in Summer School (he was the guy always sleeping). There weren't any big stars in this movie, but a few from the 80's outside of the Horror/Teen Comedy genres.
Summer School is classic!!
I saw this at the theater when it came out and wasn't sure how it would play out until the murders started kicking in. Then seeing Muffy act strange was when I thought something was up. I didn't see the Muffy & Buffy reveal coming but when it did it launched the movie into full gear. The parlor scene at the end is amazing when they finally realize everyone was in on it. Good to see you review this 80's horror classic. It totally gets no credit as a great "whodunnit?" flick.
The dude with the knife is Griffin O'Neal, son of Ryan O'Neal in which you have seen him in What's Up, Doc?
7:30 That's Biff Tannen from Back to the Future movies, Thomas F. Wilson. And the final girl is the final girl from Friday the 13th part 2, Amy Steel.
Thanks for doing this calasit. It is one of my all time favorite "so bad it's good* movies. Summer Camp Nightmare is another that I absolutely love.
It turns out I've spent a couple of years waiting for this month. You've spent all this time letting your subscribers choose what they want you to watch, and in the process, you've learned more and more about the movies. Your innocence on the subject of motion picture entertainment may have filtered away, but the freshness and originality of your personality has flourished wonderfully.
It's time for you to take the reins and make your own choices of titles to review. It means your hitting material that's unique to your channel; as are YOU.
That's important now, because those of us who are here and really with you now aren't here to watch the movies, we're here to enjoy watching you watch the movies. You're the attraction.
You have become your own Star, and I couldn't be happier. 🦇💜🎉💯
Ashleigh, I'm really glad you watched this movie! I've always liked it. It showed a few months ago and my wife didn't remember it, she watched & liked it. BTW, Chas & his girl come out in a 80's comedy "Just One of the Guys". It's a hidden gem!
Back in the 80s this played on repeat in my house.
Thanks so much for watching this movie!! It’s one of my favorites!
You have finally met one of my favorite actresses from the 80s. Deborah Foreman . She has a small part in Real Genius .
This is such a fun, cult gem!
As Hollywood legend Louis Gossett Jr has just passed away this past weekend (Saturday, March 30, I think it was), and it is Ashleigh's custom to watch a movie starring an actor who has recently passed away, i would like to suggest some Louis Gossett Jr movies to choose from.
1) An Officer And A Gentleman (a tear jerker, BRING TISSUES)
2) Iron Eagle II (she's already seen the first one)
3) The Punisher (1989, starring Dolph Lundgren)
4) El Diablo (also starring Anthony Edwards, aka Goose from Top Gun)
5) Diggstown (also starring James Woods and Oliver Platt)
6) Toy Soldiers (also starring Sean Astin and Will Wheaton)
7) Enemy Mine (also starring Denis Quaid)
If there's any other movies you want to suggest, please do so.
Definitely an OFficer And a Gentleman, great film. Oscar win for Lou Gossett Jr. also.
Tom Wilson was Biff in "Back to the Future." Another actress was the main female protagonist from Friday the 13th part 2. She is now and psychotherapist professionally.
It is such a fun movie with a great story and cast!
I loved it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I loved this move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, you are the first person I have ever seen react to this movie! I am so happy!
There was at least one more reaction to this movie today!
One of my favs !! So under appreciated
I LOVE this movie and I'm so glad someone finally reacted to it!
All the actors in this are popular 80's actors that are still active today. I'm so glad you got into this movie, it was a real hit back in the day.
One of the best movies of the 80s.
I saw this in the theater, and it's still fun. Although if you think about it for a second there are a million plot holes. A guest at her B&B would know it's a fake. In her test version someone could be hurt or killed by accident. And how did they know someone would be on the boathouse floor to see the corpse floating past? And how could they know someone would climb down the well? And you'd have to be insane to get in the water between a boat and the dock. And why was the "sheriff" apparently calling from the actual hospital? And so on. It's wildly improbable. With that being said, I still think it's fun - especially if you've never seen it before.
That box thing across his shoulder was a battery pack and camera monitor. Back in the 80's this was high tech.
Making people miss their mouths is easy when there are hidden holes in the champagne glasses rims.
Exploding cigars are a classic joke made popular in cartoons.
The girl at the end was the baby crying ab**tion girl. She had to get even.
I saw this movie at a friends house a long time ago and it was so weird. BUT such a crazy plot twist at each corner. I just kept saying BIFF! Every time the guy named Arch would be on the screen. Because he was Biff from Back to the Future. :D
Yayayay!! About time! I have been waiting for this!
OMGosh! So excited to see this title. I love this movie. Deborah Foreman should have had a much bigger career. Some of her other films...My Chauffeur and Valley Girl. Both 80's movies...lots of stuff that would likely be considered inappropriate today...still funny.
My opinion...April Fool's Day is one of the best campy horror films.
So many of these cast members were big actors in the 80s. I love the twist to the end of this so much!! I know it word for word. Yes I am sad 😅
An all time favorite slasher, haven't seen it in years, so glad to see it getting reacted to. Muffy is such a great 'villain' and the pranks are almost all really good.
I'd say, Ken Olandt was pretty "famous" in his day.
Mostly for his appearances in TV series, though.
But there's two other movies with him, that are worth a watch:
- "Summer School" (1987)
and
- "Leprechaun" (1993) - which you watched already, of course - as your reaction shows. :)
Deborah Foreman also played in another 80s flick _(at the side of a 19 yo Nicholas Cage):_ "Valley Girl" (1983)
And Amy Steel was of course the "final girl" in "Friday the 13th - Part 2" (1981).
So - yeah...a few "known" names in here _(for those that watched movies in the 80s, anyway)._
Edit: oh, and of course Tom Wilson - aka: Biff Tannen, from the "Back to the Future" trilogy.
The original ending was very different, in which the characters really were dead, but that ending tested poorly, so they changed it and added the "surprise" ending, which I think did make this slasher a lot more unique, but the odds of getting everyone to go right where she needed them to go for each fake kill, then convinced to go along with the prank seems way too unlikely, with way too many variables for a small group to pull off so quickly. 7:22 I love that Ashleigh perfectly called that.
Loved this movie. It came out on my 21st birthday. I watched it in a drive through while on acid 😂. Interesting experience I tell you!! 😂. Hope you dig it too.
I highly recommend you watch Unhinged (1982), it's a great movie
Whenever I think of 80s April Fools' horror movie. I think of that 1986 movie slaughter high.
If you had seen My Chauffeur or Valley Girl, you would have received your recommendation to watch this movie. Deborah Foreman was iconic in the 1980's, with My Chauffeur being her best movie. With a rotary-style phone we didn't dial 9-1-1. We simply dialed 0 for the Operator. Once the 9-1-1 system was fully implemented, touch tone phones had replaced the rotary, but you could still dial 0.
The ever lovely Deborah Forman💞💞💞
This film should be your gateway to so many more underappreciated gems of the 80s:
Valley Girl
My Chauffeur
...and...
Real Genius
Hey Ashleigh, I'd recommend looking up the classic movie poster for this film. It's epic. If I had long hair, I'd totally do that with my hair for halloween.
Great movie. Amy Steel as well who was in Friday the 13th part 2.
The girl at the end who "cut" Muffy's throat was the one with the baby crying tape getting back at her.
I have heard of this, my parents when they had cable recorded a lot of movies from around that time and this was one of them there's also another April fools day horror movie called Slaughter High and if you're interested in the hidden twin thing I'd suggest The Dark Half, an adaptation of a Stephen King book.
