The Scenes when Buddy walks through New York talking to Random People and also the Gum Eating Scene... are Real, Will Ferrell and a Cameraman just walked through New York a few Hours and Will did what he would do if he were Buddy
Fun fact, Will Ferrell eating the gum off the rail in New York City was real and completely improvised. So were the lines “you smell like beef and cheese“ and “you sit on a throne of lies“ we’re also improvised.
This movie cracks me up. SAAAANNNNNTAAAAAAA! I cracked up so hard at that in the theater when this came out. It caught me by surprise and I couldn't stop laughing. I made other ppl laugh. I was in so much cheek pain. 😩 🤣
MERRY CHRYSLER EVERYBODY! Have a good one, love you all to the moon & back Take a look over at www.patreon.com/RivalReacts for the full reaction to this & TV shows like The Boys, Loki, Rick & Morty and Invincible!
All the scenes where it's supposed to show off how big he is in the north pole is just some clever forced perspective camera work. When it look like he's sitting next to everyone, he's actually sitting close to the wall, and the set was made just so that when the camera faces it a certain way, it looks like it does.
Great reaction! I'm not usually into Christmas films but this one is always a must watch for me. My favorite Will Ferrell film is actually Semi-Pro; I think it's so underrated.
Technically, it is the tree from "Home Alone 2" in a way. Every Christmas, Rockefeller Center--where that scene was filmed--puts up a gigantic Christmas tree and it shows in pretty much every Christmas movie that's staged in New York City.
Right before the Walter yells at Buddy scene, the director whispered in James' ear, "You're Sonny f***ing Corleone." And that reminder sparked that piece of gold of a take.
Yes, its the same tree as Home Alone 2 😂 and that's because both take place in New York and New York is home to the most famous Christmas tree in America 👍🏻
Fun fact: the movie almost wasn't made because they had to wait such a long time for someone to determine the stop motion was inspired by the Rudolph film, and not a blatant copy and paste.
The animal that had the large tusk is a narwhal. It's a type of whale that has a large tooth. They are real animals. If you need further info you could search it.
all the exterior shots in the beginning are all in NYC no streets closed for filming no extras so that "santa" in the red jogging suit was just a guy walking the streets the movie had such a low budget they couldnt afford to close streets and pay extras so most of it was filmed in a hockey arena in vancover because they wanted the tax incentives but the sound stages in canada are pretty small and to get the long shots of Central park they needed something bigger. buddy is litterally will Farrell just him and a camera man walking around nyc for a couple hours. then the scene where buddy is chacing Michael someone walks out of their basement apartment sees the camera turns and goes back inside doesnt even make it to the sidewalk. will was worried this movie would kill his career after walking around NYC in yellow tights

So you’re telling me all that gum he ate was really stuck under there for who knows how long? Talk about dedication
@@twelved4983 Shia Lebouf had two healthy teeth pulled for a movie.
@@twelved4983 The gum was pre chewed by him.
@@Sams_fangirlera and the guy in red that Buddy saw and yelled, “Santa!”
And the guy just looked at him, the guy wasn’t an actor

No it wasn’t real. He pre chewed gum
4:33 it's a Narwhal. Also known as the unicorn of the sea, hence the big horn on its head.
I have a love/hate relationship with this movie because during high school, every teacher would put this on the few days before winter break.
This tells me you've seen Elf atleast 5-10 times
@@RivalReacts probably closer to 20 honestly 😂
James Caan actually is playing the piano at the end! He was just goofing around with it, and they decided to put it in the film.
We watch elf every year. It’s a god tear movie
So true!
This movie cracks me up.

9:38 Wow, Jon Favreau as the doctor was so young in this movie...
The future of the MCU right here all the way back in this lovely Christmas movie. ;)
This is a family tradition for me. I watch it every single year and I can recite the whole movie
4:27 That animal is called a narwhal.
Buddy's elf boss in red is Ralphie from A Christmas Story
Was kind of hoping his reaction to buddy walking across the street and suddenly getting hit by a taxi was in here
In case nobody has said it yet, that weird whale unicorn is an actual creature called a Narwhal! Check them out!
"You're 6'3 and had a beard since you were 15."
Rival reacts: "Yo, He's so cool. "
Looks at camera *
🤣🤣🤣
Buddy: “Thanks Mr. Narwhal.”
Rival: wHaT iS tHaT???

I love this movie.
And did you know? Will Ferrell is the voice actor for Megamind.
I found that out a few days after watching!
@@RivalReacts That fact blew my mind as a kid. Lol.
*SANTAAAAA!!!!! OH MY GOD!!*
For about 7 years me and my family have always put sryup on our spaghetti because of this movie and it's actually pretty good
Right before the Walter yells at Buddy scene, the director whispered in James' ear, "You're Sonny f***ing Corleone."
And that reminder sparked that piece of gold of a take.
Hahaha “my mans went in for seconds”😂😂
14:34 Bruh, I'm 26 and the mailroom guys are a total mood. XD

At 9:27 those were "cotton balls" but it was actually cotton candy
Idc, I'll say it again, I would eat that spaghetti even if it put me in the ground. I know I'm not the only one who thinks it looks good
😂😂 i have nothing but respect for this
The elf that told will Ferrell he wasn't a cotton headed ninny muggins or whatever. He's actually the kid from the Christmas story
OHMYGOSH IT IS RALPHIE. HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT???? LMAOOO

If skating is a the worst winter sport, what’s the best winter sport?

Looks like you have a couple typos in your title, let me fix that for you:
*Elf* Is The WORST Christmas Movie Ever! (I Regret Watching)
Just because it's your opinion doesn't mean it's his or anyone else's. Take your rudeness elsewhere my guy. 😒
