Stunt doubles were hired for the piano scene, but Hanks and Loggia managed to perform it themselves. The scene was choreographed by Paula Abdul.
It was obviously choreographed by whoever wrote the song. Think about that.
@@MichaelLesesne did you even bother to google when that song was originally written? 1938. Think about that.
@@alfredoprime5495 nah🙄
It's widely known that the planned scene never happened and that Chopsticks version was a Tom Hanks ad-lib. Look it up.
@@MichaelLesesne Nah, what?
The piano scene was real, the creator of the piano actually built a larger one the the one in the store so they could play the song which required 3 octaves to play. The actors practiced for 3 months and on the day of shooting dismissed the dancers that had been hired to perform it and did it themselves in one take. The original piano was still in the FAO Schwarz store until it closed in 2015. Penny Marshall videotaped David Moscow, the actor who played kid Josh, acting out all of the adult Josh scenes so that Hanks could study his mannerisms in each situation. That way he could mimic how a kid would act in the same situation and how he was able to seem like a kid so well. This was actually the same age swap movie that came out that year, which upset Penny Marshall because when she agreed to direct the movie she thought it was a unique idea.
Didn't Tom do something similar with the kid who played Young Forrest? So he could get the mannerisms & the way of talking down?
Nostalgia levels are through the roof for me on this one! 😳
Same
I have to say, watching it again after having kids, this movie falls much closer to the "psychological horror" category then when I watched it as a kid (those poor parents!).
At least it is a rare example of a movie in this genre that actually shows glimpses of the impact it has on people around him (that poor 'girlfriend' is gonna have some unique talking points with her court-appointed therapist).
Tom Hanks' childlike glee throughout the film is a huge reason why this movie is so great. You actually feel like you're watching a kid in an adult's body.
Nobody else at that time could’ve gotten an Oscar nomination for that role but Hanks
Well.. Robert De Niro was originally cast in the role but dropped out. The script was said to have been more darker and gritty. Matthew Modine who also read the script stated it was originally very different.
The piano scene is so iconic. One of the best movie in the 80s.
Facts
Need to turn the movie volume up some, lads.
He got the impossible gift of seeing what being an adult is like and then get to go back to being a kid again so he can appreciate it that much more.
For real though, his mom would NEVER let him out of the house again after that 😂
olddog91: Yes, she would. It's the 80s, not the millennium. haha
Tom Hanks got his start in an 80's TV sitcom called "Bosom Buddies", about two guys who dress in drag so they can get a cheap apartment in a women-only apartment building. His co-star Peter Scolari just died a couple of months ago.
Now do a reaction for Splash. Tom Hanks and John Candy were great in it. Darryl Hannah was so beautiful and awesome in it too.
6:57
Tom: I’d be like, “I’m dreaming, this isn’t possible”
Shaun: Dreaming? You like it, then?
Tom: *looks directly at camera*
probably the most intense unresolved sexual tension ever seen :-)
The tension between these two is what keeps me coming back for more 😄 Also, Tom didnt just say "I'm dreaming" he said "Im dreaming AGAIN"........he's had this dream before lol
Shaun seems like the mischievous one and Tom seems like the warm and gentle one who’s just like “oh brother” when Shaun gets out of line. The chemistry is so great and truly is palpable sometimes.
Trivia: The child actress whom played Rachel Baskin, Josh's baby sister was not credited in the end credits and to this day, her identity remains a mystery.
"13 Going on 30" has a very disturbing concept. In "Big", the Hanks character doesn't loose any time. He just wakes up the next day and is grown up. In "13 Going on 30", the main character wakes up and 17 years have past. She has lived those 17 years, but she doesn't remember them. It is super messed up when you think about it.
All movies in the aging up or bodyswap genres are deeply disturbing when you think about it for more than a second.
It doesn't matter because of the ending.
@@Volkfire that's pretty much the basis for the 'time travel is messed up' plots of The time travellers son and Butterfly effect
Love, love, love this movie! Watched it so many times with my dad during the 90's
16:37 😂😂
Favorite Tom Hanks movies is
Cast Away
Forrest Gump
The Green Mile
Runner ups is this one, Philadelphia and Sleepless in Seattle
Btw have you seen Scent of a Woman? Great movie and fantastic performance by Al Pacino
Robin Williams in Jack does an amazing job playing an adult child.
13 going on 30 is great but the movie that gives similar vibes to this one, in my opinion, is actually Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead.
S C: Don't Tell Mom...is underrated
The Burbs is a brilliant Tom Hanks film and it's so underrated.
It's from the director of Gremlins and it's about these weird new neighbors that might be killers. Definitely recommend it!
Yes, Tom Hanks started in comedy - on television. "Bossom Buddies" was a great show.
You should watch "Splash", another bittersweet comedy. John Candy plays his brother.
Yes. Splash is a very good choice. It also stars Ms. Daryl Hannah. She made lots of guys’ hearts race.
Great reaction! May want to turn up the volume on the movie.
I can't believe Tom hasn't seen this movie 😲 how dare he 😂 😂😂
Turn up your volume guys.
Elizabeth Perkins was perfection in this movie.
A few other early Tom Hanks films that started his career, Splash, where he falls in love with a mermaid, played by Darryl Hannah. Bachelor Party, The Money Pit, Volunteers.
Wow, haven't seen "Big" in years but it still holds up all these years later. I'm from New York and for years after people would go to FAO Swartz toy store and play on those keyboards. The store is now located in Rockefeller Center. Trivia: as a teen I worked at the Playland in Rye, New York, the amusement park with the boardwalk. This park was also featured in "Fatal Attraction" and Mariah Carey's music video "Fantasy" featuring rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard. "Big" was the first and best of the body swap movies of the '80's.
Steven Spielberg wanted to direct Big but he decided not to because his sister wrote the script and didn't want to take her moment away from her
Tom Hanks is incapable of making a bad film. I loved him in The Money Pit as a child long before Sleepless in Seattle and Saving Private Ryan.
The ‘Burbs! So underrated
Incapable of making a bad film? 🤣😂
Ever seen Mazes and Monsters? Terrible movie. Even Tom Hanks couldn't save that film.
I love Tom Hanks and would normally agree with this statement. However, The Bonfire of the Vanities is the one exception. Terrible movie and a massive flop. A pity, as it had a talented cast.
Building on your comments at the end, I realized that "Home Alone" has a similar arc if you ignore the whole plot of defending the house against burglars.
You guys helped me get through several bad days due to a medical condition I've been dealing with for the past few months. Just thought you should know.
We hope you’re feeling better
You guys are the best therapy
The movie makes me think when you're a kid you just want to be an adult and when you're an adult you wish you could go back to being a kid. Simply, it's the grass is always greener scenario.
You can't understand the value of something you have always had.
You can't understand the burden of something you have never had.
You are quick to forget the benefits of your situation and it's easy to overestimate those others have
Not me. I couldn't wait to be an adult. Now I'm 44 and I would hate to be a kid again. I feel guilty dropping off my kids at school in the morning knowing they have 12 more years until they finish school and then they can finally stop waking up at 6 am everyday. That's what I hated the most about being young. It felt prison going to school every day. Feeling like it would never end.
@@John_Locke_108 Or start waking up at 6am. Unless they don't plan to work. haha.
The school thing really is individual. I loved school until high school, but even high school was awesome compared to some of the jobs I've had. And vice versa. So, it depends on the individual
@@John_Locke_108 Agreed.
@@LA_HA It's funny that now I wake up at like 5 am with no alarm clock and I love it. But as a kid, waking up before noon was always torture for me. Going back as far age 8 or 9 I would always sleep until at least 10 o'clock on days off (except for Sunday of course).
A great Tom Hanks film with the great John Candy is Splash and a funny one is Bachelor Party
John Candy has two amazing speeches in Splash. First about how drinking is a matter of algebraic ratios and second about how fleeting true happiness is.
I love this movie! 🎬 I am so glad that you guys loved it too. Brings back a lot of memories.Tom Hanks is so good in this. You guys cracked me up throughout. 😁
I'm surprised he didn't say "I wish to be a Kid again... but also very rich"
Calling her a criminal is precisely why a movie like this could never get made, today.
nah, or to quote Mel Brooks "you couldn't make this film back then either" when asked about Blazing Saddles.
not saying their reaction was over the top but just the instinct to think about stuff like that is unfortunate.
When Jodie Foster was 13 or 14 back in the 70’s, she did a body swap movie called Freaky Friday.
And in 1988, Fred Savage swapped bodies with Judge Reinhold in Vice Versa.
Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Shaun! 🎹 I adore BIG (1988)! Penny Marshall did such a fine job of directing. Of course, Mr. Hanks, Ms. Perkins, Mr. Loggia, Ms. Ruehl, Mr. Rushton along side of Mr. Moscow all acted the hell outta their parts.
Penny Marshall didn't direct Big.
Great movie mate's it was hard to hear but I loved your reactions, can't wait to see what you pick next (✯ᴗ✯)
I love you thought the piano was CG done in post. Nah. They actually did it live.
Please consider GRUMPY OLD MEN (1993) starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. A great holiday movie. Burgess Meredith is pure comedy gold
Because of this movie we’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave is in my Christmas music list
The 90's film "Jack" comes to mind. It stars Robin Williams, Jennifer Lopez, and Diane Lane... also Bill Cosby... Really good movie in the same vain as this movie.
The floor piano scene is actually a Tom Hanks ad-lib, and not the routine that had been planned. Apparently the whole crew gave the two of them a standing ovation after that take. Part of the reason that Tom Hanks was cast for the part, according to him, is that he is that kid who refused to grow up in some ways, that he feels (or did some time back) like a kid in an adult's body. Others commented that his playfulness was infectious.
Anne Spielberg is Steven Spielberg's sister, not his "original wife".
His “original wife” was actress Amy Irving
In answer to "what is your favorite Tom Hanks movie?": For me it's the comedy, "The Man With One Red Shoe".
Might be The Money Pit for me
my parents use to say, don't wish your life away. This film can also be about trying to keep a little of that child that was in all of us in our every day lives.
Whenever you're in the mood for a thriller again... I have a rather good one for the holidays. You guys should check out the movie Better Watch Out
They actually did the piano thing themselves and it’s not dubbed.
Anyone with functioning eyes and ears can see that as Hanks at one point, steps on two keys at once and you can hear it.
One Of Tom Hanks Best Performances Ever Made
The commentary in this video gave me some chuckles guys!
I just realized that I was thirteen when this film was released and am six months apart in age from the actor who played young Josh. Weird.
I love the Chopsticks scene! It's the most memorable part of the movie! In fact, I heard someone bought that floor piano. It's worth millions by today's market.
You need to check out Splash with Hanks and John Candy.
Tom Hanks' first film was a horror called He Knows You're Alone. It was a really small part and allegedly his character was supposed to die but they liked Tom so much they wouldn't kill him.
I've seen that film. It was actually a pretty decent slasher flick.
Another oldish Tom Hanks movie I really enjoy is called Splash from 1984. Daryl Hannah co stars. I think you should consider reacting to that
The piano scene at FAO Schwartz is iconic. After this movie came out there was always a huge crowd around that piano in the store for years. I miss that store.
His portrayal of a child’s behaviors and mannerisms is beyond
They did the Piano scene themselves . It’s a real piano
“they’re waiting for you,”
two fold statement.
one side was his work colleagues
the other is his family
Early tom hanks comedies are just gold , Turner and hooch, dragnet, the burbs just gold
yay!
there's also a movie called "vice versa" that's about a kid and adult trading bodies...not as heartwarming as this click. but entertaining.
And Freaky Friday
Also Like Father, Like Son, and 18 again.
I was only 14 when I went to see this at the movies with my older cousin. Gosh I feel old,,,,lol
Anne Spielberg is Steven's sister not his first wife. His first wife was Amy Irving.
The Seapoint Park that he goes to at the end to find the Zoltar machine was filmed at an amusement park called Playland, which is a town over from where my parents grew up in Mamaroneck, NY. I've been there lots of times, so much fun!
Loved this film since I was a kid, I also liked Vice Versa. There is a place for both of them (both 1988), they are similar but not the same.
It is really weird that she slept with him, imagine if he got her pregnant haha
Big is a classic. Tom Hanks gave one of the best performances of his acting career as Josh Baskin.
Lol, Anne Spielberg is Steven's sister, guys.
this used to be one of my fav films when i was very little 😭 i’m so glad my parents were born in the 70’s if not i probably would’ve never watched these kind of films
I was 6 when this came out. I remember watching it as a kid and still love it as an adult. Classic.
Tom Hanks started in a TV series called Bosom Buddies which is a drag comedy.
Shaun kinda looks like grown up Billy. That actor was also in Honey I shrunk the Kids and Overboard.
Wow what a surprise not allot of reactors seen it. Great movie. You should also see Punchline, Turner & Hooch and The Money Pit no one react to this movies
Definitely deserves the rating you guys gave it. Thank you gentlemen!!!!
In 2014 when I was in New York, I went to the FAO Schwarz toy store with the piano and they also had the Zoltar machine there.
Yes, the piano is still in the toy store, and yes, it does work, and yes, there is a very big queue of middle-aged men waiting to do the dance....
Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia practiced the choreography for the piano scene for 3 months. When they were going to film it, they had dance doubles on set, just in case, but the two actors were so incensed because they'd worked so hard, they did the whole thing themselves and it's mostly in a wide shot. No doubles.
This is one of the first movies I can remember watching with my mom🤗
you guys are awesome but I like Shaun's sense of humor funny. you both are funny. Adrian Robles from Florida. thank you for making my day happier.
Watch Batchelor Party, it's one of Tom Hanks funniest movies
I love the fact they got to play forgive me nots in this movie..
Its a little fuzzy but several years ago I watched a show about the making or something with Tom Hanks and he said the message for him is that as kids we yearn for adulthood but when we become adults we yearn for our childhood.
They did actually play Chopsticks. A friend of mine was an extra in that scene. One of the little girls watching
Will she find out he's a twelve year old boy ?
And she's a
Criminal...
Hilarious 😂🤣😂
What I never understood was why Billy's parents didn't start keeping a tighter leach on him after his best friend just got Kidnapped for as far as they know. I know it was a different time, but like I said, his best friend just got kidnapped and there were a lot of high-profile kidnappings/murders in the 80's.
In the deleted scenes there is a background of Billy's disfunctional family. No wonder he just escaped from there.
There is a Rob Schnieder movie were he body swaps with a teenage girl. It's shit but luckily it concentrates on the girl being in the man's body as the other side of the movie could have been so wrong 🤣🤣
Rob Schnieder is like of a kid with autism wished he was BIG
I loved this as a kid. As an adult it comes across a lot creepy and a bit pedo by the end, that aside it’s still funny and heartwarming. How confusing is nostalgia
I've been thinking for weeks now, they should get Tom to make a Big 2: Little, where he wishes he could be a kid again.
Great reaction you guys! Can you also react to SPLASH! (1984) which is another Tom Hanks film?
Great choice. The Burbs is another great.
Tom played a grown up kid brilliantly.
Jared Rushton who portrayed his buddy Billy was in a few classic 80s movies....Big, Overboard, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
4:14 Shaun I'd give you some of my height. 7:00 so we're just leaning in on that one! 16:33 come on Tom you gotta expect it! 🤣😍
19:43 Holy shit I never even thought of that lol
A very touching movie, and the performance that showed me Tom Hanks can act. Lots of fun. As always: finish Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy: 2) Prince of Darkness and 3) In the Mouth of Madness.
My favorite Tom Hanks movie is The Burbs, a cult classic comedy/horror, check it out!
Joe vs the volcano, joe Dante film with Tom hanks and Meg Ryan! Money pit and the man with one red shoe, those rarely talked about young hanks comedy classics
Don’t watch Turner & hooch, unless you wanna cry your eyes out
You’re wrong about the Social Security thing. I was super broke my first couple of years in college and couldn’t pay my utility bills all the time. Every time they turned off the power or whatever, I would call the company to set up a new account and switch 2 of the numbers of my social security number (so instead of 123 it’s132) and bam! Power back on. It wasn’t as easy to check that kind of stuff back then and could be attributed employee error if anyone ever cheked on it. I finally got a better job and didn’t have to do that again. It definitely wouldn’t work today.
That toystore, FAO Schwartz has since closed sadly 😢 but they have part of that piano on the wall in Planet Hollywood New York. I believe a few other places have parts of the piano on display aswell.
Fingers crossed we get The Great Muppet Caper, Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal soon!!
I was in FAO Schwartz in NYC just a few months ago. Yep they still have the keyboard. Yep everyone still tries to do this.
In ten years? Well, if he’s twelve then they could get in contact in six years when he turns 18, six years can go by quickly enough.
I’m so old I saw this in the theater with my mom (80’s latchkey kid) I had to close my eyes at the HIGHLY questionable part. I distinctly remember a group of teenagers behind us hollering at the screen during this particular scene, I’m thinking WTH is happening? Now watching this with my daughter, this awkward scene NEVER happens. I skip it or turn the main TV off.
🙄
@@sexysadie2901 The equivocalness of an emoji reply.
Watched this recently on disney+ and when the kid dropped the f-bomb i literally gasped cus no previous version i had seen before had that bit in it hahaha seemed sooo weird
*Big* became a Broadway musical in 1996, with songs by David Shire and Richard Maltby, jr. That version adds surprising depth to the story. For example, in the scene where Josh seems to be about to have sex with Susan, Josh's child-self suddenly appears on stage and sings about what Josh is feeling inside. Unfortunately, there was no film or video of the production, but the Original Broadway Cast Recording is worth a listen.
Excellent reaction. Now you need to add "The Man With One Red Shoe" to you 80's Tom Hanks collection.
