"For Estelle. Thanks so much." This is a dedication to Estelle Endler, Rodney Dangerfield's manager and one of the executive producers of the film, who died during production.
The history teacher was played by Sam Kinison who was a big comedian in the 80’s and really good friends with Dangerfield. His whole stage personality was screaming about everything which he picked up when he was a fire and brimstone Pentecostal preacher.
Dangerfield owned a major comedy club in NYC, and gave Kinison his first big national break on the club's HBO special: th-cam.com/video/PRbnTNL4UAM/w-d-xo.html
OMG the summer of 86. So many great movies! Back to School, Top Gun, Aliens, Big Trouble in Little China, Ruthless People, Stand By Me, Manhunter, The Fly, Ferris Bueller's Day off, Running Scared, Short Circuit. I saw all of these in the theatre, almost all more than once. "Easy Money"(1983) is a great Rodney Dangerfield movie thats been forgotten. Joe Pesci plays his best friend in it and it has a great theme song by Billy Joel. Also "Ruthless People" a great comedy!! One of Danny Devito's best performances!!
The bit with Vonnegut was similar to a real event. Vonnegut’s nephew wrote a paper on one of his uncle’s books. His teacher had a similar response to the one in the movie.
I have seen a talk that Hitchcock's granddaughter had and she has a similar story about a film class she had, teacher didnt know she was his granddaughter and she had Hitch help her with the paper and she didn't get a good grade, Hitch said i guess i don't know my own movies then.
Isaac Asimov told the story of when he was just starting as a writer. He sat in on a class where the teacher discussed his short story, "Nightfall." After class, he went to the teacher and told him that everything he said about the meaning of the story was wrong. The teacher asked him how he knew, and Asimov said, "Because I wrote it." The teacher replied, "And just because you wrote it, what makes you think you understand it?"
Idk if It's my favorite part but Sam Kinison's teacher meltdown is very rewatchable. The whole movie is rewatchable though, I've probably watched this 30 times
6:23 It's the Doctor from ST:DS9!! Also, Meg Mucklebones from Legend, the serial killer from The Howling and the Split Face Thing model in John Carpenter's The Thing!!
Dad! Thanks for picking this one. Dangerfield has done several movies I don't really care for, but this movie really made him a warm and caring person. The whole gist of this was so he could be with his son; Rodney's character was a good person. I love this movie.
Not gonna lie the Business professor and History teacher scenes are legendary. The business class because the teacher is talking about textbook business whereas Rodney is talking real world business. And the Sam Kinosin's energy is so great.
Oingo Boingo was very famous for about 30 years. Though you might recognize their lead singer better by his name is, Danny Elfman. He's been writing movie scores for all of Tim Burtons movies since the eighties.
As a matter of fact, I first saw this movie at a _Star Trek_ convention. Terri Farrell has a part in it and she plays Jadzia Dax on _Deep Space Nine._ I previously had _no_ acquaintance with it, and I was _instantly_ charmed by Dangerfield's performance. The man was a _legend._
@@ZoahLord Well, shoot. Looks like I'll have to watch it _again,_ now. Which role does he play? See, this was before _Voyager_ came on the air, so I didn't know about him even though I'd seen him on _The Wonder Years._
The son in this Keith Gordon he plays Arnie in Christine, also it was good to see Sam kinisan as a teacher. He played the crazy teacher. Kinda like how he was in real life as a stand up.
This is such a fun movie. And I love finding ways to reference the Triple Lindey when ever I can. :D His movies "Lady Bugs" and "Easy Money" are a lot of fun as well.
My fav line in this movie was when Melon was handing out pens before class and one guy says "Hey i know you! You're Tall and Fat!" And Melon says "Yeah well you're short and ugly....give me my pen back." LOL!
I think it's so adorable that you don't edit out your little girl interrupting the movies, and you play the crowd cheering when she comes in, like she's Norm or Kramer. Excellent!
Is this Mrs. Movie's first ever exposure to Sam Kinison? Seems like that would be worth a special mention. Of course, it didn't seem like Mr. Movies had any idea who he was either.
Hands down the best scene in the movie is the class.with Sam Kinnisson about the Vietnam war. On of my favorites though is when th assistant is taking notes in the class with the son next to her not being able to control his laughter. It felt like an outtake they decided to keep in.
All true, except his claim that the "U.S. pulled out of Vietnam in 1975". It was really 1973 when U.S. combat troops left Vietnam. The South Vietnam government lost the Vietnam War, not the Americans.
Rodney Dangerfield also had a cartoon movie of him as a dog called Rover Dangerfield! it seemed like an odd concept when it came out, but i enjoyed it!
This movie is one of my favorites Rodney is the King ..... I so want to see your reactions to the movie KIDS its a very serious film it feels so true to life for us that were coming of age in the 1990s.
I used to watch this movie often years ago, but it somehow slipped off my radar. I forgot just how funny it is! And who can resist that little cutie's desire for chocolate milk! Her appearances always deserve that applause!!!
Rodney had a soft spot for Sam Kinnison. He helped Sam become a very successful comedian and became close friends with him. It wasn't easy to make Rodney laugh, but Sam could do it no problem. If you look closely in the scene while he screams at Rodney, when Sam rips the back of the chair, Rodney starts to crack up laughing with his back to the camera, you can see him shaking! 😂
I love this movie. Absolutely my favorite Rodney Dangerfield movie. So many good lines. I also love the themes of this one. He may be a bit odd, but under everything the thing he cares about the most is his son. Kinda fun seeing a very young Robert Downey Jr. in this. The girl who played the love interest was Terry Ferrell, who went on to play Jadzia Dax in Star Trek DS9. You left out my favorite line. "What do all men want?" "He wanted you to dress up like Wonder Woman, tie him up with your golden lariat, and force him to tell the truth?"
Terry Farrell, Valerie, went on to play regular cast member Jadzia Dax on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" for 6 seasons. The guy at the very beginning of the movie that Thornton's wife was cheating with, Robert Picardo, also went on to play regular cast member the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) on "Star Trek: Voyager" for all 7 seasons. Sally Kellerman, Diane, played Dr. Elizabeth Dehner in the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" on "Star Trek" the original series and Major Margaret J "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the 1970 movie "M*A*S*H." Keith Gordon, Jason, played Arnie Cunningham in John Carpenter's film rendition of "Christine" in 1983.
Glad you did this movie. There are so many great movies that barely get any reactions. Fletch is another one of those. You should react to that one too.
I remember seeing this when it came out in the theater, and I used to watch it multiple times when it came out on cable. I hadn't thought about it for years, so when I saw you were reacting to it, I was hyped! So many good lines in this movie. 'Caddyshack' might be the film most people think of when they think of Rodney Dangerfield, but IMO, this was his best one. Great reaction!!
Thanks for being the first to review this movie. 1. Other Rodney notable movies Caddyshack" and "Easy Money". 2. Keith Gordon played in Stephen King's "Christine' and "Jaws II", 3. Miss you Sally Kellerman.😇 4. Fun fact: Sam Kennison was the first choice to play Al Bundy in "Married ...With Children", but his addiction issues stood in the way. 5. Ladies and gentlemen: Oingo Boingo's one hit..
I genuinely haven't watched this since it was released on VHS and i was just a kid. It was great seeing Rodney Dangerfield spew one-liners like he invented speaking. Cheers.
Sam kinison in the movie was my father’s favorite comedian and still is. Always like his screams and yelling, even though some of the jokes are too close to home though
So glad someone is actually reacting to this:) Rodney, Burt Young aka Uncle Pauly,Robert Downey Jr, Billy Zabka, Keith Gordon, and the lovely Sally Kelleman. Good times. And of course Sam Kinison:)
Sam Kinnison was a very popular comedian a little before and definitely after this movie. Sally Kellerman was in the 2nd pilot for Star Trek, the original series. That was Danny Elfman singing for his band Oingo Boingo. He now writes scores for major movies.
Kinison died in a car accident when he was only in his late 30s, just a few years after this film. Personally, his scene was the funniest scene in the movie for me. I had a few professors with a screw loose, and I related to the scene. (Of course the very first time I saw the film was when I was 9 or 10, so I didn’t get it as much at the time.)
Apparently Rodney was not only a comedy legend, but was also once a trick diver performing in shows on the east coast when he was younger. If I'm not mistaken, I've heard he actually used to do the "Triple Lindy" dive.
This was a great movie I saw it when it came out with my mom. We were living outside Chicago in 1986 at the time. The cast was great I always love it when Sam Kinnison on screen.
What a fantastic review of the '80s classic "Back to School"! I'm a huge Rodney Dangerfield fan, and I'm thrilled you guys finally watched this gem. I totally get the mix-up with "Caddyshack"-another must-see Dangerfield film. The diving scenes, especially that triple Lindy, are unforgettable. I love that you're thinking of making it a meme-worthy moment! And yes, you should definitely check out "Ladybugs" next; it's another hilarious Dangerfield movie. I'm glad you appreciated the comedic timing and one-liners, especially in the oral exam scene. Can't wait for your next retro review; "Back to School" is a film that just keeps getting better with each watch!
The Dangerfield style one liners were the best parts for me -- "together we made mud", etc. Those, the Kurt Vonnegut cameo, and Sam Kennison the history teacher for sure!
An underrated Rodney film is Ladybugs!. He coaches a little league girls soccer team sponsored by his employer to impress him and puts his soccer playing GFs son (Jonathan Brandis, RIP) on the team and dresses him as a girl. Maybe a little controversial to some these days but it's hilarious!
My dad LOVED this movie. I must have seen it at least three or four times as a little kid in the 80s. I remember almost nothing about it except for the scene with all the diving boards and Rodney hooking up with the Hidden Valley Ranch lady. Watching this I can’t believe how many actors I recognize from other later shows and movies that I had no idea we’re in it.
The wife was in a Stephen King film called " Creepshow " and also in a John Carpenter film " Escape From New York " with Kurt Russell and other known actors .
I really liked this movie, and saw it WAY too young, but that was life in the 80's. Late night cable. It's so funny that the "Poster boy for birth control" became Iron Man. I still can't watch the Triple Lindy without full belly laughing. "Easy Money" is another Dangerfield movie with Joe Pesci. It's probably my favorite of his.
You can't go wrong with Rodney Dangerfield, and he carries this movie really well. Another great Rodney movie is Easy Money!!
We are always ordering a Junior Salad with no dressing.
Easy Money with Joe Pesci! Fun
Omg Easy money yes!!!
Easy Money is another Dangerfield classic.... Ladybugs is funny too.v
Did they ever do Caddyshack?
The secretary Marge Sweetwater is Edie McClurg. She was in Ferris Bueller too. "He's a righteous dude." Love her.
"For Estelle. Thanks so much." This is a dedication to Estelle Endler, Rodney Dangerfield's manager and one of the executive producers of the film, who died during production.
Thanks so much for that information! I always wondered about that.
William Zabka the ultimate villain of the 80s: Back To School, Karate Kid, Just One of the Guys, National Lampoons European Vacation.
God, I miss Jack!
The history teacher was played by Sam Kinison who was a big comedian in the 80’s and really good friends with Dangerfield. His whole stage personality was screaming about everything which he picked up when he was a fire and brimstone Pentecostal preacher.
I miss that guy. I loved it when he would call a guy or girls ex on the phone and yell at them in front of the crowd
Sam Kinison was also a legit preacher before being a comedian! :)
His standup was so great. My dad loved it and so I got to see a bunch of them on vhs. The good old days.
Dangerfield owned a major comedy club in NYC, and gave Kinison his first big national break on the club's HBO special: th-cam.com/video/PRbnTNL4UAM/w-d-xo.html
RIP Sam, killed by a drunk driver and the guy got away with it and started signing autographs saying he killed Sam Kinnison, disgusting
Rodney Dangerfield was always so hilarious! I love this movie!
April of 1992 was such a bad month, we lost Sam Kinnison and Benny Hill! :(
Rodney Dangerfield was big time comedian back in the day. His stand up is absolutely hilarious
OMG the summer of 86. So many great movies! Back to School, Top Gun, Aliens, Big Trouble in Little China, Ruthless People, Stand By Me, Manhunter, The Fly, Ferris Bueller's Day off, Running Scared, Short Circuit. I saw all of these in the theatre, almost all more than once. "Easy Money"(1983) is a great Rodney Dangerfield movie thats been forgotten. Joe Pesci plays his best friend in it and it has a great theme song by Billy Joel. Also "Ruthless People" a great comedy!! One of Danny Devito's best performances!!
Running Scared! And my fave, Howard the Duck!
I was only 12 in 86. Saw all those movies you mentioned. One of my favorite years. I also started working out since seeing Arnold in Terminator.
I saw Howard the Duck in the theatre too.@@adambailey2523
And Cobra, too.
Fuuu All those in 86? Man, we didn't know how good we had it. Back when comedies were funny.
Got to love the cameo by Kurt Vonnegut.
That scene is so spot on.
Saw it in the theater. Recognized Vonnegut as soon as the door opened. I was all "No way!"
The bit with Vonnegut was similar to a real event. Vonnegut’s nephew wrote a paper on one of his uncle’s books. His teacher had a similar response to the one in the movie.
I have seen a talk that Hitchcock's granddaughter had and she has a similar story about a film class she had, teacher didnt know she was his granddaughter and she had Hitch help her with the paper and she didn't get a good grade, Hitch said i guess i don't know my own movies then.

The teacher replied, "And just because you wrote it, what makes you think you understand it?"
Easy Money 1983 next, please.
Rodney's quips are amazing. Such a great cast and fun movie. Jason starred in Christine. A fun movie for Halloween.
Good review guys.
"Always look out for number one, but don't step in number two."
Idk if It's my favorite part but Sam Kinison's teacher meltdown is very rewatchable.
The whole movie is rewatchable though, I've probably watched this 30 times
The studio audience applause for the lil one is hilarious
Listen, the kid's the star of the show. Make her some chocolate milk! 😄
"call me when you have no class" 🤣
6:23 It's the Doctor from ST:DS9!! Also, Meg Mucklebones from Legend, the serial killer from The Howling and the Split Face Thing model in John Carpenter's The Thing!!
That Kurt Vonnegut cameo was one of the best cameos of all time lol
Never heard of her
@@GeorgeTropicanahim lol 😂😂
Dad! Thanks for picking this one. Dangerfield has done several movies I don't really care for, but this movie really made him a warm and caring person. The whole gist of this was so he could be with his son; Rodney's character was a good person. I love this movie.
Back then the best line was “Why don’t you call me sometime when you have no class?”.
Now I relate to “She gives great headache”.😂
Gen-X person, by far my favorite scene is the history teacher. Miss the late, great Sam Kinison so much! Great Rodney D. movie. Miss him too!
Both of my kids thought the same thing about color. I didn't realize until then that they thought I grew up in black and white. 😂😂😂
The tension in Mrs Movies face during Kinison's rant is priceless. 🤣🤣🤣
11:21 it's Jadzia Dax from ST:DS9!!
Thank you so much, Christi and Patrick! I wore out my VHS copy of this movie.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
25:13 Holy moly, that's Danny Elfman!! I forgot Oingo Boingo was in this!!
Not gonna lie the Business professor and History teacher scenes are legendary. The business class because the teacher is talking about textbook business whereas Rodney is talking real world business. And the Sam Kinosin's energy is so great.

Easy Money is the best Rodney Dangerfield movie, you really should check it out. Plus it has the title song by Billy Joel so you can't go wrong! 199!
As a matter of fact, I first saw this movie at a _Star Trek_ convention. Terri Farrell has a part in it and she plays Jadzia Dax on _Deep Space Nine._ I previously had _no_ acquaintance with it, and I was _instantly_ charmed by Dangerfield's performance. The man was a _legend._
Please tell me that the Trek fans celebrated seeing Robert Picardo in a moustache
@@ZoahLord Oh my god! Is _he_ in this, _too?_
@@lazyperfectionist1 He is, however I didn't realise it was him until I watched it a second time
@@ZoahLord Well, shoot. Looks like I'll have to watch it _again,_ now. Which role does he play?
See, this was before _Voyager_ came on the air, so I didn't know about him even though I'd seen him on _The Wonder Years._
@@lazyperfectionist1 He's the dude that Melon's wife is fooling around with
The son in this Keith Gordon he plays Arnie in Christine, also it was good to see Sam kinisan as a teacher.
He played the crazy teacher.
Kinda like how he was in real life as a stand up.
Keith Gordon was also in Jaws 2.
"Call me when you . . . have no class." My wife's favorite movie line ever.
If you want another Rodney Dangerfield movie try Easy Money. It's my favorite of his movies.
RIP Rodney, Sam, and Hot Lips.
OG Hot Lips.
And burt young:(
I always liked the part where Thornton list real world business problems versus academic.
This movie, like Rodney Dangerfield himself, is a true gem! Such a great, little movie!
This is such a fun movie. And I love finding ways to reference the Triple Lindey when ever I can. :D
His movies "Lady Bugs" and "Easy Money" are a lot of fun as well.
Professor Terguson and Vietnam is the best thing about this movie.
Rodney Dangerfield: I called my girlfriend one night and she says come on over , no one's at home. I went over, no one was at home! No respect.
My fav line in this movie was when Melon was handing out pens before class and one guy says "Hey i know you! You're Tall and Fat!" And Melon says "Yeah well you're short and ugly....give me my pen back." LOL!
As a huge Kurt Vonnegut fan, I particularly love this movie.
Rodney Dangerfield was an actual acrobatic diver when he was young
Greatest laugh thanks to Rodney
He cuts on the radio in Caddyshack I died 🤣🤣
I think it's so adorable that you don't edit out your little girl interrupting the movies, and you play the crowd cheering when she comes in, like she's Norm or Kramer. Excellent!

Rodney is one of my top 5 favorite comedians all time, and this is my favorite movie of his. RIP to a legend.
Such a great, mostly forgotten classic comedy. Dangerfield was such an icon.
This movie is one of my favorites Rodney is the King ..... I so want to see your reactions to the movie KIDS its a very serious film it feels so true to life for us that were coming of age in the 1990s.

Rodney Dangerfield & Sam Kinnison in one scene... greatness. Have you seen Easy Money? (Another Dangerfield flick)
Rodney had a soft spot for Sam Kinnison. He helped Sam become a very successful comedian and became close friends with him. It wasn't easy to make Rodney laugh, but Sam could do it no problem. If you look closely in the scene while he screams at Rodney, when Sam rips the back of the chair, Rodney starts to crack up laughing with his back to the camera, you can see him shaking! 😂
Love your reactions, as always. Love your girl making her appearance. The best part is the amazing Sally Kellerman as the professor.
She was the original Hot Lips Houlihan in the movie version of MASH with Donald Sutherland.
I love this movie. Absolutely my favorite Rodney Dangerfield movie. So many good lines.
I also love the themes of this one. He may be a bit odd, but under everything the thing he cares about the most is his son.

2. Keith Gordon played in Stephen King's "Christine' and "Jaws II",
3. Miss you Sally Kellerman.😇
4. Fun fact: Sam Kennison was the first choice to play Al Bundy in "Married ...With Children", but his addiction issues stood in the way.
5. Ladies and gentlemen: Oingo Boingo's one hit..
As someone else pointed out it was the same year as Ferris Bueller and oddly both featured Twist and Shout by the Beatles
I genuinely haven't watched this since it was released on VHS and i was just a kid.
It was great seeing Rodney Dangerfield spew one-liners like he invented speaking.
Cheers.
"Bingo Boingo"
This hurts my soul.
Respect the Triple-Lindy!
Sam kinison in the movie was my father’s favorite comedian and still is. Always like his screams and yelling, even though some of the jokes are too close to home though
good answer. good answer. i like the way you think. i'm gonna be watching you.
Some of his stand-up is on TH-cam. Marriage and world hunger is my favorite clip.
I highly recommend Easy Money starring Rodney Dangerfield and Joe Pesci.
One of Rodney's best movies.
So glad someone is actually reacting to this:) Rodney, Burt Young aka Uncle Pauly,Robert Downey Jr, Billy Zabka, Keith Gordon, and the lovely Sally Kelleman. Good times. And of course Sam Kinison:)
I have been waiting for a few years for someone to react to this. One of my favorite movies ever. Thanks!
Sam Kinnison was a very popular comedian a little before and definitely after this movie.
Sally Kellerman was in the 2nd pilot for Star Trek, the original series.
That was Danny Elfman singing for his band Oingo Boingo. He now writes scores for major movies.
Kinison died in a car accident when he was only in his late 30s, just a few years after this film. Personally, his scene was the funniest scene in the movie for me. I had a few professors with a screw loose, and I related to the scene. (Of course the very first time I saw the film was when I was 9 or 10, so I didn’t get it as much at the time.)
Sally Kellerman was also the original 'Hot Lips Houlihan' in M*A*S*H (the movie) opposite Robert Duvall as 'Frank Burns.'
@@crconway7926 Yes. She's had a long career.
Never seen this Movie before, such a host of talent in the cast. Rodney Dangerfield was legendary, with the quips.
Apparently Rodney was not only a comedy legend, but was also once a trick diver performing in shows on the east coast when he was younger. If I'm not mistaken, I've heard he actually used to do the "Triple Lindy" dive.
12:07 "What's he gonna do drown him?"
Me: Well, we know he likes to go for the leg. Not exactly something you wanna have injured while swimming.
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was a kid. I laughed so hard my sides were hurting.
Yes, Oingo Boingo was/is a real band, and were big in the 80s. Also, their lead is Danny Elfman who has become huge in movie soundtracks.
This was filmed in Madison Wisconsin at the UW! That's so awesome
I remember when kids asked and parents answered.
Now, kids ask, parents ask back, kids ask/tell...parents comply.
How sweet.
This was a great movie I saw it when it came out with my mom. We were living outside Chicago in 1986 at the time. The cast was great I always love it when Sam Kinnison on screen.

🙈🤣 THAT CRACKED ME UP
ONE OF MY FAV MOVIES AND YOU TWO MADE IT EVEN FUNNIER! 😂❤
Great movie!! Thanks for watching! One of my all time faves!
I have to admit that was THE CUTEST TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY - EVER! Lol
My favorite part is when he reads "the dying of the light." Well done!
34:30 That would explain the kids.
Wocka wocka! 😁
I saw this in the movie theaters, and loved it. I can’t believe I was only 9
You guys are great! Love the banter! 🤣🤠, ✌🏼&💚 ~ Patrick from Da Bronx! 😁
The Dangerfield style one liners were the best parts for me -- "together we made mud", etc. Those, the Kurt Vonnegut cameo, and Sam Kennison the history teacher for sure!
My favourite American stand up. The man is legendary. "Your wife was just showing us her Klimt." Is one of the greatest lines in cinema.
An underrated Rodney film is Ladybugs!. He coaches a little league girls soccer team sponsored by his employer to impress him and puts his soccer playing GFs son (Jonathan Brandis, RIP) on the team and dresses him as a girl. Maybe a little controversial to some these days but it's hilarious!
Sam Kinison was an absolute legend.
Classic: We only whip it out on special occasions. It's always special.
My dad LOVED this movie. I must have seen it at least three or four times as a little kid in the 80s. I remember almost nothing about it except for the scene with all the diving boards and Rodney hooking up with the Hidden Valley Ranch lady.
Watching this I can’t believe how many actors I recognize from other later shows and movies that I had no idea we’re in it.
The wife was in a Stephen King film called " Creepshow " and also in a John Carpenter film " Escape From New York " with Kurt Russell and other known actors .
My favorite quotes “ What’s a bath without BUBBLES hey BUBBLES come here & “Maybe you can help me straighten out my LONGFELLOW “😂😂
Thank you guys, I needed that....
26:28 So THAT'S where Dax got her spots from! 🖖
Awesome movie! R.I.P. Rodney Dangerfield.
More people should react to this movie! It’s funny ASL! Rodney Dangerfield is so funny!
2:48 comment.. Priceless skit effect.-Ernie Moore Jr.
What a classic. They don't make movies like this anymore.
I really liked this movie, and saw it WAY too young, but that was life in the 80's. Late night cable. It's so funny that the "Poster boy for birth control" became Iron Man. I still can't watch the Triple Lindy without full belly laughing. "Easy Money" is another Dangerfield movie with Joe Pesci. It's probably my favorite of his.
