Fun fact: Reportedly, during post-production, Chevy Chase said to director Alan Arkush, “Call me when you’ve dubbed the laugh-track”, and then walked away disgusted.
Just what I saw here was awful. Akroyd's scenes and acting was atrocious, Mason, could barely understand, much less care for the dumb jokes. And when you have to resort to horse farts repeated, there isn't much to work with. Place it next to the Star Wars Christmas Special.
@@oldhickory4686 I saw the Star Wars Holiday Special. The holiday, Life Day, was more akin to Thanksgiving. In the Star Wars universe, there is no christianity so there's no christmas.
Caddyshack II has only two things going for it: “Turn On the Beatbox” by Earth Wind and Fire, and “Nobody’s Fool” by Kenny Loggins. Those songs are AWESOME.
“Hold Me Kiss Me Thrill Me Kill Me” and “Smash It Up” were highlights from Batman Forever soundtrack. Didn’t particularly like “Kiss From A Rose” but that’s mostly because it’s just not my kinda thing - looking back at it now, I can at least appreciate the songcraft from an objective point of view. I never owned or listened to the rest of the soundtrack, and unfortunately it’s not available on Apple Music, but I like the lineup of performers - PJ Harvey, Mazzy Star, Massive Attack, Michael Hutchence, Flaming Lips, Nick Cave…
@@adamgreenspan4988 Yeah, as much as I love Siouxsie And The Banshees, Michael Hutchence's cover of The Passenger is amazing. Turns the tone from one of 'Let's have a party' to 'I am a serial killer stalking prey'.
My gf and I have debates on what the worst Vacation movie is. She implies it's Vacation 2015 cause it gets almost everything wrong whereas I say Christmas Vacation 2, because I argue there's some funny stuff in Vacation '15 but goes wayyyy overboard with the gross out humor and how Ed Helms is severely miscast as Rusty, but at least there's production value and talent in front of and behind the cameras. Christmas Vacation 2 is a lame cardboard cutout of a movie found on a sub-generic brand cereal box of bran flakes.
@@Jakeinlivincolor You're so right about Helms. The only thing I remotely tolerated him in was Tag, and that's only because the rest of the cast carries him. Jason Sudeikis would have been a much better choice.

I've watched my favorite content creators go from "I'll never accept sponsorships" to doing plugs for, actual amoral, Amazon.

@@killerclu72 oh I indeed fast forward ads all of the time. But there are some ads that should be called out, especially if the creator knows it or not, that way he or she should not make the same mistake twice. So I understand what your saying and I am not arguing with you on The subject, but this particular "ad" should have been shut down ages ago.
Jon Peters is the asshole producer who wanted to make a Superman movie where: Superman wore all black. Had barbed-wire gauntlets. His S Symbol turned into swords. He fought polar bears and a giant spider. And he wasn't allowed to fly, because according to Peters "flying is gay". The ONLY movies he's ever been attached to that were good, were good despite his involvement, because of everyone else involved.
@@davidgalinat4257 true, additionally, most Hollywood producers have no business being in charge of movie production. They're almost all cowards obsessed with how much money they can squeeze out of the movie instead of the actual art of filmmaking.
I think it's more the ideas are a bit too far off normal/conventional for most audiences, especially pre genx folk. I think they do so well now purely just because the internet is able to bring so many similar interested people together to enjoy them
Even though Dangerfield and Mason were both "borscht belt" comedians, Mason's comedy seemed way more fixated on being a Jewish guy who grew up in a Yiddish-speaking environment in New York City. Dangerfield could appeal to much wider audiences, same thing with Jerry Lewis, Mel Brooks, etc.
Even if he had been more relatable I don't think the movie could've overcome the disingenuousness of Mason imitating Dangerfield, Stack imitating the judge, and Aykroyd awkwardly imitating Murray.
@@cujoedaman Portraying "a Jewish man in some form or another" isn't the same thing as Mason's shtick though. Like Brooks' Yoda parody in Spaceballs doesn't require audiences to know anything about life in Brooklyn in the first half of the 20th century. In Blazing Saddles, when Brooks briefly portrays a Native American chief who speaks Yiddish, it's spoofing Hollywood's practice of almost always hiring Europeans to play Native roles and caring little how accurately a Native people is portrayed.
@@HatsOffEntertainment Just in case, there are three things that are very notable about "Viva Rock Vegas", and two of them involve messing with the show's continuity, while one involves messing with the movie continuity (in casting): 1. They retconned Dino's origin. - Considering that Dino's actual debut in the show depicted him as a talkative character and meant to be a butler by the end of his debut, it's likely scrapped due to being inconsistent with Dino's later appearances. The movie's origin for Dino is that he always has behaved like a dog. A sacrifice that isn't a total loss. However, it's complete opposite would have to be... 2. The Great Gazoo's appearance happening prior to his actual debut. - While I can buy into Dino being retconned to being a pet like a majority of his appearances, I can not forgive the movie for having Gazoo show up at the beginning of Fred's origin when he's not suppose to. Gazoo's actual debut started in his namesake episode back in October 29th 1965; One-hundred and fourty six episodes after the show debuted, and likely long after Fred and Wilma were canonically married. His inclusion added nothing to the narrative, other than giving Flintstones fans chronological confusion. 3. The change in the Cast. - This is likely due to the fact that these characters were suppose to be much younger prior to the events of the show. Some actors and actresses faired better for some people, like Betty Rubble looking more like her cartoon counterpart. However, I was shocked to find out that they casted Ivana Humpalot from Austin Powers 2 as Wilma. This is the casting choice that doesn't make sense for me, because I felt the aging of the character felt backwards. It's like if Wilma looked like Francine Smith from American Dad, if she gained weight and lost her makeup.
@@robbiewalker2831 Messing with canon is basically what all these live action movies are all about. This is, sadly, one of the least heinous example. If anything, they just moved a bunch of stuff around so it would fit into a single movie narrative. For the most part, these tend to throw much of the show out the window for generic, watered down, general bad budget kid's movie standbys. Inspector Gadget in particular, which felt like it was made by someone who had the show described to him in one short sentence, and then just threw a bunch of crappy cliches together(the talking Gadget mobile, an evil clone-which the show did and much better to boot).
@@AlexReynard YES! The perk of playing a character who doesn't care about others is that a lack of emotional investment isn't weird. He still gets a couple of laughs.
News to me. I always enjoyed this movie as a kid, it’s fine as an adult. I enjoy some of the jokes. Didn’t know neither film was received well. I still love and have used the line from Chevy looking at a non existent watch and saying “I’ve got to go, I have a thing.”
For quite a while, I thought Caddyshack 2 was superior to the original Caddyshack. This is because I was, like, 9. My mom watched both films, and the first one was all just adults talking. Bleah. Boring. The second one had far more of the cute gopher puppet, so I was like, 'Finally! Something to sate my sophisticated palette!'
Caddyshack II sounds like it could’ve been a good movie if Rodney didn’t jump ship. It’s odd he turned down a $7,000,000 paycheck and final cut approval. That’s a massive salary now let alone 40 years ago. It would’ve been cool to see him back in that character.
I love all the teenagers hopping out of the woodwork because they heard a thing and so they have to parrot it. Don't you have KFC and Starbucks to boycott?
Caddyshack was one of those lightning in a bottle movies. All the pieces fit so perfectly that the movie is a rare A+. Caddyshack II is an attempt to recapture lightning and that is always a disaster.
Seeing that Kevin Smith talk again after seeing Smith fail upwards himself is certainly something. Hasn't made a good movie/tv show/comic/etc in more than a decade.
This is a dumb opinion because it's not like Kevin Smith made terrible movies, and then was handed the keys to the DCEU. He made good movies, then made bad ones, and now continues to just make sequels to his movies. That's all we can expect from him at this point. That's failing downward, like how it normally goes.
I liked this movie well enough as dumb, lighthearted fun, and it is by no means the worst sequel ever made. Zoolander No. 2 comes to mind, and I wish it didn't. Heck, there are a lot worse sequels that have come out pretty recently.
Jackie Mason was never even the headliner on TV comedy specials in the 70s, and yet some producer thought he could be the male comedic lead, in a movie, in 1988 at the age of 60? That's just delusional.
Besides, he’s playing a building developer and Jackie Mason was Jewish so that means they’re kind of playing On stereotypes on Jewish people being greedy
@@Nick-ty9us Dangerfield was also Jewish (born Jacob Cohen), but being Jewish wasn't his shtick while it was Mason's entire shtick. I've always wondered if that's why their characters had names like Al Czervik (Czech) and Jack Hartounian (Armenian) instead of typically Jewish-American ones, to distance the characters from the stereotype. Kind of hard to do with Mason though, he was the Borscht Belt incarnate.
Dan Aykroyd is really funny as a straight-man or dork (Ray from Ghostbusters) but when he tries too hard to be goofy it's the cringiest stuff I've ever seen
Fun fact: Jackie Mason's character's last name of 'Hartounian' is the same surname of his character in The Jerky nine years prior. I'd like to think that he sold his gas station in The Jerk and made some swell real estate deals and moved to Florida and caused hell at Bushwood.
It's almost impressive how blatantly obvious it is that *Caddyshack 2* was written with the original cast in mind, and how little was changed to swap in the new characters.
I grew up watching Caddyshack II on HBO, and I saw the first one once or twice back then, but since it was a bit more mature I really preferred the sequel. And while that’s no longer the case, I still have a very soft spot for it and don’t think it’s anywhere near one of the worst sequels of all time.
So i remember being 8 and watching Caddyshack II and loving it. So 30 years later I looked at it again. And I still enjoyed it. But I can definitely see and understand why it's not talked about in a positive light.
Exorcist 2 is easily the worst sequel. Sweet Jesus it was so bad Richard Burton quit drinking after it because he said no amount of alcohol could flush that turd from his subconscious.
I love this flick. Probably because I saw it first of the two.. and then watching the first one was like OK, these are two different things. 'Every life around this pool.. except for that bastard right there.'
It’s not the worst sequel ever made because Randy Quaid is the only saving grace in the film. I have to admit, I thought the movie was pretty funny when I watched it when I was a kid, However, I never saw the first one.
Every character was perfectly cast in the original Caddyshack - Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase (in his comedic prime), Bill Murray, Michael O'Keefe, Cindy Morgan, etc. Rodney was the straw who stirred the drink in that movie, though. I see what Caddyshack II was going for in their characters. Sam Kinison as the attorney who threatens violence makes much more sense. Bill Murray reprising Carl would've been an improvement. Rodney had to come back as Al for Caddyshack II to have any chance of succeeding.
JUST discovered your great channel ...LOVE EVERY VID ....hats off indeed as it,s entertaining and great to watch....wishing you great success in all future endeavors
The Ty Webb scenes are funny, the Randy Quaid character, a lawyer who just threatens violence, is funny; turning Bushwood into a mini golf/water park is funny; and the slave auction where the bluebloods have to work on Jack's site is also funny. The lean-to that is protected as a historical landmark to keep out low income housing is also a funny joke. Otherwise, it doesn't work, and Aykroyd gives one of his worst performances, right up there with LOOSE CANNONS.
I'd like to offer a different perspective, just for fun. When I was a kid in the 90's, I'd never seen Caddyshack. But we had Caddyshack II on VHS. And we loved it! My brothers and I watched it all the time. Maybe it's the fact that we had never seen the original and had nothing to compare it to. But we thought it was hilarious from start to finish, and it was a regular part of the rotation through our family's Zenith VCR. I think this movie is unfairly maligned due to its connection with (and comparison to) the original film. If it was released under any other name, I honestly think it would be considered a damn fun movie... hell, maybe even an "Almost Cult Classic." But maybe that's my nostalgia talking. I think Robert Stack and Dyan Cannon were especially good in their roles. Jessica Lundy was endearing as Kate, and had a nice little character arc. Dina Merrill and Marsha Warfield also played their parts really well. The entire "construction crew" was well-cast and added a lot of fun to the film in their scenes. And the movie has a fair amount of quotable quotes. To this day, nearly forty years later... my dad will bust out his falsetto tone while saying, "Keep your eeeeeye on the fruuuuuit..." or "Don't... have it." Then there's Randy Quaid handing his beer to someone so he can swing, and saying, "You can take a pull off that if you wanna!" My dad loves that one, too. And when I see someone napping, I can't help but think of Randy Quaid yelling "WAKE UP!!" at that rich old geezer asleep in the lounge. Again, maybe it's just the personal nostalgia. Maybe it's the fact that I'd never seen the original Caddyshack. But I will argue all day long that while yes, this movie may be a terrible SEQUEL... standing on its own, it's a damn fun movie that's jam-packed with talent.

@@fuzzy7644 yeah that sounds like an odd thing to charge money for. like, there are volunteer help lines where non-professionals talk you through stuff, but they don't charge..
I saw this in the theater when I was ten, and found it thoroughly disappointing. It was clear Hartoonian was a carbon copy of Al (I didn’t learn till years later that the script had been written for Rodney) but Jackie Mason just wasn’t an actor; Every scene, even when he’s trying to be warm with the love interest or the first scene establishing he likes palling around with the workers on his site, he feels like he’s on stage doing his routine. Jonathan Silverman is no Michael O’Keefe. Robert Stack is no Ted Knight either (everyone forgot that The comedy of Knight’s character wasn’t just that he was a stuck up jerk; it’s that he became so easily unhinged) The funniest moments definitely come from Randy Quaid’s lawyer, since Quaid IS a good actor, the bizarre switches from calmness to threatening violence really gave me the chuckles.
Late in the video you show a clip from the movie with Jackie Mason doing an impersonation of Ed Sullivan. Decades earlier (1962?) Mason was doing a spot on the Sullivan show -- the biggest show in the country. He had a contract with the show. His career was set. A stage manager, or Sullivan, motion for Mason that he had only one more minute. They had to go to commercial. Then Mason changed his entire set to talk about someone, off camera, waving a finger at him. After the set, Sullivan (visible pissed) throws to commercial. Mason's contract is torn up. He's banned from the show. He had trouble finding steady work for decades. The Broadway show was his comeback. His career finally rebound. But yes, "Caddyshake II" is so bad.
The ant in the aardvark definitely know how to use a Jackie Mason persona brilliantly with John Byner doing a really spot on Jackie Mason. In fact Jackie wanted to be the voice of the aardvark but he said John Byner does me better than me
That's a tall order. Secret of Nimh 2, Robocop 3, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Men in Black 2, Space Jam 2, Revenge if the Nerds 2, and many others happened
Look, if you wanna list terrible sequels, put Jurassic world 2 up there before even throwing out Jurassic Park the Lost world. Jurassic world 2 makes JP:TLW look like fine golden silk
Maybe it wasn’t the winner it’s predecessor became, but I only have fond memories of Caddyshack 2. Like all cinema bombs, it was on heavy rotation on cable movie channels, and a safe bet on warm summer afternoons when a 12-year-old had to escape to the basement and watch a cheeky comedy to beat the heat. I enjoyed this movie probably ten times before seeing the first ‘Shack.
I watched Caddyshack II when i was like 6 or 7. For a kid, theres lots of colours with the theme park and clothes, then theres the gopher eating and drinking. The antics were pretty much that of a kids film. Remove the sexual innuendo and Randy Quaids F-bomb, and there it is. So watching Caddyshack 1 in high school was like a wake up call. Rewatched it so many times that the dvd stopped working. Would loop the parts where Ted Knight swings the ball into a tree and yells "Damn", and the Chef responds to the Dog Food comment.
I don't know how Dan Aykroyd ever got it into his head that "wacky" character shtick was his true specialty, but it spawned some noxiously godawful performances from him ever since _Doctor Detroit._ It pretty much took the complete destruction of his career as an A-lister to finally disabuse him of that foolhardy notion, when _Nothing But Trouble_ became such a massive bomb that it made the ghost of J. Robert Oppenheimer pop a chubby.
@@lexlogic2169 that’s the best reply about pop culture ever uttered. Oppenheimer with a chubby over a bomb 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I got second hand cringe from watching Doctor Detroit. We missed our movies starting time in 1983 and said let’s try that movie which started at 4:15 and after 25 minutes I was worried someone I knew might see me coming out of that turd and went to the lobby and waited til my other 2 friends came out soon after me and we were laughing at how we wasted $3.50 and 30 minutes of our lives. God it was sooooooooo bad.
It's as if he just completely lost touch with what people actually find funny and was just doing things to entertain himself. That's what Hollywood does to many people.
i had this on vhs when i was 10-12 and it was awesome!! Now I'm remembering my uncle laughing to the "ladies bicycle seat" gag. Thanks! Also please feel for a young lad attempting to distinguish Jackie Mason from Jackie Gleason.
I watch this movie a lot as a kid. My grandparents had the VHS of this, because it was more family-friendly than the first film. Even before the internet, and before I knew about things like production hell. I could tell that Mason's character was meant to be Rodney's character. It's blatantly obvious on the screen that all they did was basically change the character's name and allowed Mason to ad-lib a couple of lines.
Highlander 2 is funnier than this movie, though, and fun because of how dumb it is (as long as you don't watch "The Renegade Cut," which attempts to fix the problems and just makes it dull).
The original got the caddying right. I caddied in the 2000s for 10 years and it was very similar with a shack and everything. I know not everyone had that but the vibes were just accurate. That grounded the movie to let Dangerfield be weird and goofy
Bill Murray had a lot to do with the Caddyshack story. He and his brothers were caddies growing up and he had a lot of input into the script, even though 90% of the movie is improv.
Caddyshack II is the absolute Worst. Bad casting, Terrible Director, stupid horrible jokes and a cast trying so desperately hard to be funny, that's just not funny. Caddyshack II is tied with Ishtar as the worst comedies ever made!
Kinda love this movie actually. Watched it before I ever saw the original, which probably helps. Saw it on its original release at the drive-in paired with The Great Outdoors. Perfect double feature for eight year old me.
Jackie Mason was a national treasure... his performance is hysterically funny in this movie... Dyan Cannon is always terrific.... And I still use Fonzanoon as an insult! 😆 Plus... they also got Kenny Loggins to do the theme song for this again as he did for the first 😊💙
Haven't watched this video yet. Just want to throw this out there. I saw this movie in the theater. I vividly remember thinking that this movies was awesome. I remember thinking who is this Mason guy, and why isn't he in any other movies? I also remember thinking this character was like some kind of superhero, when he was walking around on his high rise construction. Oh and btw, as far as I know I have only seen the movie the one time(if there was another, it would have been well over 30 yrs ago). So for me to remember the plot and the scenes of him walking on those beams, while the other person looked like they were about to die, it must have been memorable. To me they put the uber rich Chevy character and merged him into this Jewish dad looking out for his daughter.
@@rezaqalam482 There was actually a movie with this exact premise around 2007 called "Who's Your Caddy?". I think Cedric the Entertainer starred in it. When the trailer came out, lots of people were making that exact joke.
Even with all its flaws, I still really enjoy Caddyshack II. Randy Quaid had me cracking up. Dan Akroyd's character is so wacky and memorable. On paper, I can see why it's a bad sequel. While watching it, I can't help but be entertained. First time I saw Jackie Mason, so I always think of this role when I see him. Rodney Dangerfield brought the movie to life every time he was on screen in the original, and trying to recapture that performance was a clear mistake.
The minute I heard Jon Peters' name, I thought, "if he doesn't use EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH", I'd definitely be disappointed..........and you DID NOT disappoint, Good Sir!! :)
I can say some positives: Chevy Chase has SOME funny lines, I like the Kenny Loggins song. And for better or worse, it was the last of the big 4 - the last PG movie to somehow get away with dropping an F-bomb

I think it's more the ideas are a bit too far off normal/conventional for most audiences, especially pre genx folk. I think they do so well now purely just because the internet is able to bring so many similar interested people together to enjoy them
Fun fact: Caddyshack 2's poster was done by the same artist who did the posters for Beetlejuice and Poltergeist.
And this movie was just as haunted by malicious spirits too.
Two out of three ain't bad
Even though Dangerfield and Mason were both "borscht belt" comedians, Mason's comedy seemed way more fixated on being a Jewish guy who grew up in a Yiddish-speaking environment in New York City. Dangerfield could appeal to much wider audiences, same thing with Jerry Lewis, Mel Brooks, etc.
Though a lot of it has to do with the script.
Jackie was perfect in
" The Jerk" .
" Harry Hartounian".
Caddy Shack 2 recycled the Armenian last name.
That's what always annoyed me
Even if he had been more relatable I don't think the movie could've overcome the disingenuousness of Mason imitating Dangerfield, Stack imitating the judge, and Aykroyd awkwardly imitating Murray.
Mel Brooks appealing to a wider audience? Literally every single bit he ever did was a Jewish man in some form or another.
@@cujoedaman Portraying "a Jewish man in some form or another" isn't the same thing as Mason's shtick though. Like Brooks' Yoda parody in Spaceballs doesn't require audiences to know anything about life in Brooklyn in the first half of the 20th century. In Blazing Saddles, when Brooks briefly portrays a Native American chief who speaks Yiddish, it's spoofing Hollywood's practice of almost always hiring Europeans to play Native roles and caring little how accurately a Native people is portrayed.
Still praying for a Viva Rock Vegas vid
It will happen! In the meantime, check out my discussion on it on 'No Such Thing as a Bad Movie Podcast': th-cam.com/video/yTyZp49OmNU/w-d-xo.html
@@HatsOffEntertainment Just in case, there are three things that are very notable about "Viva Rock Vegas", and two of them involve messing with the show's continuity, while one involves messing with the movie continuity (in casting):
1. They retconned Dino's origin. - Considering that Dino's actual debut in the show depicted him as a talkative character and meant to be a butler by the end of his debut, it's likely scrapped due to being inconsistent with Dino's later appearances. The movie's origin for Dino is that he always has behaved like a dog. A sacrifice that isn't a total loss. However, it's complete opposite would have to be...
2. The Great Gazoo's appearance happening prior to his actual debut. - While I can buy into Dino being retconned to being a pet like a majority of his appearances, I can not forgive the movie for having Gazoo show up at the beginning of Fred's origin when he's not suppose to. Gazoo's actual debut started in his namesake episode back in October 29th 1965; One-hundred and fourty six episodes after the show debuted, and likely long after Fred and Wilma were canonically married. His inclusion added nothing to the narrative, other than giving Flintstones fans chronological confusion.
3. The change in the Cast. - This is likely due to the fact that these characters were suppose to be much younger prior to the events of the show. Some actors and actresses faired better for some people, like Betty Rubble looking more like her cartoon counterpart. However, I was shocked to find out that they casted Ivana Humpalot from Austin Powers 2 as Wilma. This is the casting choice that doesn't make sense for me, because I felt the aging of the character felt backwards. It's like if Wilma looked like Francine Smith from American Dad, if she gained weight and lost her makeup.
@@robbiewalker2831 Messing with canon is basically what all these live action movies are all about. This is, sadly, one of the least heinous example. If anything, they just moved a bunch of stuff around so it would fit into a single movie narrative. For the most part, these tend to throw much of the show out the window for generic, watered down, general bad budget kid's movie standbys. Inspector Gadget in particular, which felt like it was made by someone who had the show described to him in one short sentence, and then just threw a bunch of crappy cliches together(the talking Gadget mobile, an evil clone-which the show did and much better to boot).
Yeah I'm waiting for you to look at Viva Rock Vegas since your Flintstones movie, video.
@@robbiewalker2831 Don't listen to anything this guy says. It's all false.
I saw this once. The one takeaway I had was Chevy Chase's performance is the definition of phoning it in.
That's a disservice to phones.... He pony expressed it in!
Which actually kind of helps it. It works for the character.
Even as a kid I could tell he did not want to be there! Lol
"Do I own it?"
@@AlexReynard YES! The perk of playing a character who doesn't care about others is that a lack of emotional investment isn't weird. He still gets a couple of laughs.
News to me. I always enjoyed this movie as a kid, it’s fine as an adult. I enjoy some of the jokes. Didn’t know neither film was received well. I still love and have used the line from Chevy looking at a non existent watch and saying “I’ve got to go, I have a thing.”
For quite a while, I thought Caddyshack 2 was superior to the original Caddyshack.
This is because I was, like, 9. My mom watched both films, and the first one was all just adults talking. Bleah. Boring. The second one had far more of the cute gopher puppet, so I was like, 'Finally! Something to sate my sophisticated palette!'
I know someone who said "I would rather watch Caddyshack II 10 times before I would ever watch Blues Brothers 2000 ever again."
Bb2k at least had a great soundtrack and John Goodman
Idk, at least there's some great music in BB2000
Blues borthers 2000 works as a collection of music videos
@@ironmaster6496 and the one cool but unnecessary car crash scene.
I’m very firmly in this category.
Caddyshack II sounds like it could’ve been a good movie if Rodney didn’t jump ship. It’s odd he turned down a $7,000,000 paycheck and final cut approval. That’s a massive salary now let alone 40 years ago. It would’ve been cool to see him back in that character.
Glad you're getting some well-deserved sponsor money, but there are a lot of problems with Better Help in terms of its legitimacy.

@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 “I HAVE NO SON!”
Caddyshack was one of those lightning in a bottle movies. All the pieces fit so perfectly that the movie is a rare A+. Caddyshack II is an attempt to recapture lightning and that is always a disaster.
It's really sad when you realize both Doug Kenney and the critics at the time were hard on it. It's a classic for sure.
If Caddyshack was the lighting in the bottle, Caddyshack II is the lighting that struck the cast and gave them burns.
I tell people all the time that Caddyshack is one of the best films ever made, Point Break too. "Utah, give me two"
Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray were the best parts of the original movie.
As a kid I thought, Later I think It's Ted Knight all the way.
Don't forget Ted Knight! To me, that's always been his and Dangerfield's movie.
Nearly everyone in Caddyshack was incredible...it's one of the best movies ever made.
Don't forget Chevy.
Seeing that Kevin Smith talk again after seeing Smith fail upwards himself is certainly something. Hasn't made a good movie/tv show/comic/etc in more than a decade.
Working with Bruce Willis magically made him incapable of criticism or having any self awareness.
Other than the fabtasticular He-Man, which was incredible and also amazing. Also Tusk was great
The Recent Clerks movie was amazing as well.
This is a dumb opinion because it's not like Kevin Smith made terrible movies, and then was handed the keys to the DCEU.
He made good movies, then made bad ones, and now continues to just make sequels to his movies. That's all we can expect from him at this point. That's failing downward, like how it normally goes.
@survivorsuperfuntime he's literally showrunner to stuff like He-man, which admitted to not even liking.
I liked this movie well enough as dumb, lighthearted fun, and it is by no means the worst sequel ever made. Zoolander No. 2 comes to mind, and I wish it didn't. Heck, there are a lot worse sequels that have come out pretty recently.
Highlander 2 has entered the chat.
@@GamerGuysReviews- I think you mean Highlander: The Source
Jackie Mason was never even the headliner on TV comedy specials in the 70s, and yet some producer thought he could be the male comedic lead, in a movie, in 1988 at the age of 60? That's just delusional.
Besides, he’s playing a building developer and Jackie Mason was Jewish so that means they’re kind of playing On stereotypes on Jewish people being greedy
Jackie was awesome as Harry Hartounian in " The Jerk"
He must have blackmailed someone because I don't get it.
@@jgsrhythm100 - He was. That was my first introduction to Mason as a kid. "It's a masterpiece of understatement."
@@Nick-ty9us Dangerfield was also Jewish (born Jacob Cohen), but being Jewish wasn't his shtick while it was Mason's entire shtick. I've always wondered if that's why their characters had names like Al Czervik (Czech) and Jack Hartounian (Armenian) instead of typically Jewish-American ones, to distance the characters from the stereotype. Kind of hard to do with Mason though, he was the Borscht Belt incarnate.
Dan Aykroyd is really funny as a straight-man or dork (Ray from Ghostbusters) but when he tries too hard to be goofy it's the cringiest stuff I've ever seen
he just doesn't have it
Fun fact: Jackie Mason's character's last name of 'Hartounian' is the same surname of his character in The Jerky nine years prior. I'd like to think that he sold his gas station in The Jerk and made some swell real estate deals and moved to Florida and caused hell at Bushwood.
Or that's his brother. Imagine Navin Johnson playing at the gold course.
@@sumthingwikked4257 oh lord
It's almost impressive how blatantly obvious it is that *Caddyshack 2* was written with the original cast in mind, and how little was changed to swap in the new characters.
I grew up watching Caddyshack II on HBO, and I saw the first one once or twice back then, but since it was a bit more mature I really preferred the sequel. And while that’s no longer the case, I still have a very soft spot for it and don’t think it’s anywhere near one of the worst sequels of all time.
that happened to me with a lot of movies when I was a kid. I always preferred the sequel for some reason.
Same as me lol

I saw it on video when I was 12 or so.
Not good, but not terrible either.

Rodney Dangerfield was on fire for Caddyshack. Sadly Jackie Mason couldn't carry his golf bag, even if it wasn't the size of a Mini Cooper.
Long time fan of the channel. Great work as always, crappy sequels is definitely a topic you'll never run out of content for.
It’s been a while! Welcome back!
Thanks!
It's been 3 weeks..
Dude I am so glad you referenced the Kevin Smith, John Peters story. I immediately thought "Wait that's the WILD WILD WEST GIANT SPIDER GUY?!?!"
Exorcist 2 is easily the worst sequel. Sweet Jesus it was so bad Richard Burton quit drinking after it because he said no amount of alcohol could flush that turd from his subconscious.
😳
At least that movie looks and sounds great, though.
I love this flick. Probably because I saw it first of the two.. and then watching the first one was like OK, these are two different things.
'Every life around this pool.. except for that bastard right there.'
It’s not the worst sequel ever made because Randy Quaid is the only saving grace in the film. I have to admit, I thought the movie was pretty funny when I watched it when I was a kid, However, I never saw the first one.
No matter how many comedy's that Rodney dangerfield was in all I can picture him as is Juliette Lewis father in Natural Born Killers
That was an amazing scene.
Surprised Peters didn't try to put his giant mechanical spider in this one (not a euphemism)
Every character was perfectly cast in the original Caddyshack - Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase (in his comedic prime), Bill Murray, Michael O'Keefe, Cindy Morgan, etc. Rodney was the straw who stirred the drink in that movie, though.
I see what Caddyshack II was going for in their characters. Sam Kinison as the attorney who threatens violence makes much more sense. Bill Murray reprising Carl would've been an improvement. Rodney had to come back as Al for Caddyshack II to have any chance of succeeding.
Caddyshack didn’t need a sequel!🙄
wasn't good enough for a sequel anyways
Half of Hollywood is employed in unnecessary sequels...

JUST discovered your great channel ...LOVE EVERY VID ....hats off indeed as it,s entertaining and great to watch....wishing you great success in all future endeavors
The Ty Webb scenes are funny, the Randy Quaid character, a lawyer who just threatens violence, is funny; turning Bushwood into a mini golf/water park is funny; and the slave auction where the bluebloods have to work on Jack's site is also funny. The lean-to that is protected as a historical landmark to keep out low income housing is also a funny joke. Otherwise, it doesn't work, and Aykroyd gives one of his worst performances, right up there with LOOSE CANNONS.
I'd like to offer a different perspective, just for fun.
When I was a kid in the 90's, I'd never seen Caddyshack. But we had Caddyshack II on VHS.
And we loved it! My brothers and I watched it all the time. Maybe it's the fact that we had never seen the original and had nothing to compare it to. But we thought it was hilarious from start to finish, and it was a regular part of the rotation through our family's Zenith VCR.
I think this movie is unfairly maligned due to its connection with (and comparison to) the original film. If it was released under any other name, I honestly think it would be considered a damn fun movie... hell, maybe even an "Almost Cult Classic." But maybe that's my nostalgia talking.
I think Robert Stack and Dyan Cannon were especially good in their roles. Jessica Lundy was endearing as Kate, and had a nice little character arc. Dina Merrill and Marsha Warfield also played their parts really well. The entire "construction crew" was well-cast and added a lot of fun to the film in their scenes.
And the movie has a fair amount of quotable quotes. To this day, nearly forty years later... my dad will bust out his falsetto tone while saying, "Keep your eeeeeye on the fruuuuuit..." or "Don't... have it." Then there's Randy Quaid handing his beer to someone so he can swing, and saying, "You can take a pull off that if you wanna!" My dad loves that one, too. And when I see someone napping, I can't help but think of Randy Quaid yelling "WAKE UP!!" at that rich old geezer asleep in the lounge.
Again, maybe it's just the personal nostalgia. Maybe it's the fact that I'd never seen the original Caddyshack. But I will argue all day long that while yes, this movie may be a terrible SEQUEL... standing on its own, it's a damn fun movie that's jam-packed with talent.
Jackie Mason, in fact, started his life as a rabbi before going into stand-up comedy.
Misread that as "rabbit".

I remember watching 5 minutes of this on TV once, and was puzzled in how this movie felt like it was 10 years OLDER than the original.
I saw this in the theater when I was ten, and found it thoroughly disappointing. It was clear Hartoonian was a carbon copy of Al (I didn’t learn till years later that the script had been written for Rodney) but Jackie Mason just wasn’t an actor; Every scene, even when he’s trying to be warm with the love interest or the first scene establishing he likes palling around with the workers on his site, he feels like he’s on stage doing his routine.
Jonathan Silverman is no Michael O’Keefe. Robert Stack is no Ted Knight either (everyone forgot that The comedy of Knight’s character wasn’t just that he was a stuck up jerk; it’s that he became so easily unhinged)
The funniest moments definitely come from Randy Quaid’s lawyer, since Quaid IS a good actor, the bizarre switches from calmness to threatening violence really gave me the chuckles.
Yes I saw this in theaters in 1988. Look, it was a family vacation in Michigan, no Internet, not much to do....
Late in the video you show a clip from the movie with Jackie Mason doing an impersonation of Ed Sullivan. Decades earlier (1962?) Mason was doing a spot on the Sullivan show -- the biggest show in the country. He had a contract with the show. His career was set. A stage manager, or Sullivan, motion for Mason that he had only one more minute. They had to go to commercial. Then Mason changed his entire set to talk about someone, off camera, waving a finger at him. After the set, Sullivan (visible pissed) throws to commercial. Mason's contract is torn up. He's banned from the show. He had trouble finding steady work for decades. The Broadway show was his comeback. His career finally rebound. But yes, "Caddyshake II" is so bad.
The ant in the aardvark definitely know how to use a Jackie Mason persona brilliantly with John Byner doing a really spot on Jackie Mason. In fact Jackie wanted to be the voice of the aardvark but he said John Byner does me better than me

Maybe it wasn’t the winner it’s predecessor became, but I only have fond memories of Caddyshack 2. Like all cinema bombs, it was on heavy rotation on cable movie channels, and a safe bet on warm summer afternoons when a 12-year-old had to escape to the basement and watch a cheeky comedy to beat the heat. I enjoyed this movie probably ten times before seeing the first ‘Shack.
same! I didn't know what junk bonds were, but whoever sold them was totally lame!
Is there any sadder dropoff for a writing duo than going from WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT to CADDYSHACK II?
True, but actors have it worse. How about Matthew Modine going from working with Stanley Kubrick to "Funky Monkey".
I watched Caddyshack II when i was like 6 or 7. For a kid, theres lots of colours with the theme park and clothes, then theres the gopher eating and drinking. The antics were pretty much that of a kids film. Remove the sexual innuendo and Randy Quaids F-bomb, and there it is.
So watching Caddyshack 1 in high school was like a wake up call. Rewatched it so many times that the dvd stopped working. Would loop the parts where Ted Knight swings the ball into a tree and yells "Damn", and the Chef responds to the Dog Food comment.

I don't know how Dan Aykroyd ever got it into his head that "wacky" character shtick was his true specialty, but it spawned some noxiously godawful performances from him ever since _Doctor Detroit._ It pretty much took the complete destruction of his career as an A-lister to finally disabuse him of that foolhardy notion, when _Nothing But Trouble_ became such a massive bomb that it made the ghost of J.

I watch this movie a lot as a kid. My grandparents had the VHS of this, because it was more family-friendly than the first film. Even before the internet, and before I knew about things like production hell. I could tell that Mason's character was meant to be Rodney's character. It's blatantly obvious on the screen that all they did was basically change the character's name and allowed Mason to ad-lib a couple of lines.

Rarely do you see a sequel where its so plain every new character was a hasty rewrite of an original character.
The original got the caddying right. I caddied in the 2000s for 10 years and it was very similar with a shack and everything. I know not everyone had that but the vibes were just accurate. That grounded the movie to let Dangerfield be weird and goofy
Bill Murray had a lot to do with the Caddyshack story. He and his brothers were caddies growing up and he had a lot of input into the script, even though 90% of the movie is improv.
Caddyshack II is the absolute Worst. Bad casting, Terrible Director, stupid horrible jokes and a cast trying so desperately hard to be funny, that's just not funny. Caddyshack II is tied with Ishtar as the worst comedies ever made!
Kinda love this movie actually. Watched it before I ever saw the original, which probably helps. Saw it on its original release at the drive-in paired with The Great Outdoors. Perfect double feature for eight year old me.

Haven't watched this video yet. Just want to throw this out there. I saw this movie in the theater. I vividly remember thinking that this movies was awesome. I remember thinking who is this Mason guy, and why isn't he in any other movies? I also remember thinking this character was like some kind of superhero, when he was walking around on his high rise construction.
Oh and btw, as far as I know I have only seen the movie the one time(if there was another, it would have been well over 30 yrs ago). So for me to remember the plot and the scenes of him walking on those beams, while the other person looked like they were about to die, it must have been memorable.
To me they put the uber rich Chevy character and merged him into this Jewish dad looking out for his daughter.

While watching it, I can't help but be entertained. First time I saw Jackie Mason, so I always think of this role when I see him.
Rodney Dangerfield brought the movie to life every time he was on screen in the original, and trying to recapture that performance was a clear mistake.
