Right? This was really cool to watch. Hearing production chatter and real convos between cast and crew. Added a level of authenticity to it all. Like that could be me or you instead of, oh those are untouchable celebrities!
Yeah this is the best kind of stuff. I hate when the BTS stuff is like, here's the bloopers! And it's stupid music and people.dancing in between takes like wtf. Whatever happened to the raw BTS stuff like this
My kids say “quesadilla” the way she says it because my wife and I jokingly said it too many times around them. That is one of the legacies of this movie.
$400,000 budget and not one swear word or sex scene. Everything about this movie is so polar opposite of so many others, just amazing what you can do with a great script and a cast like no other!
You’re right, no sex scenes, barely any swears, no real violence. They used the set, setting, characters, writing, and actors do the lifting in this movie.
@@negativefreeroll5089 Yep. Sometimes I wonder if it's because the actor for Napoleon was a Mormon and they don't consume stuff like that in the media or IRL. Either way, it doesn't matter. Napoleon Dynamite is the best movie ever. If I had to watch one movie before I died, it'd be this.
On that last scene, they were like "we nailed it in the first take, we just wanted to see how many times Hader could smack him before he said something"
This bts gives those vibes like those old youtube videos where some guy filmed “a day in 1985 at McDonalds” showing gas at 52 cents and going to Circle K for an ice cream
It’s great in my opinion. Clerks is also great in my opinion. I’ve never seen the entirety of The Foot Fist Way and as such I can’t complete the trilogy, but Rex Kwon Do has probably seen it.
Coming from the crew side of the filmmaking world myself, I'll bet this crew was talking so much shit during this whole production haha. Probably saying how stupid of a movie they were shooting and not knowing how awesome it really was and how big it would become.
I come from a small town in the middle of nowhere in Texas. I was a junior in highschool when this came out and me and my best friend loved Napoleon. We were the only ones in school who did at the time. This was basically our lives lol awesome days.
I grew up not far from where this movie was filmed and set. Absolute perfection - it so beautifully captures the early-00’s with the weird 70’s/80’s holdover thing we had going on, brings back some awesome memories. Rural Idaho, folks.
@Elijah Jakobsen The whole movie has a mildly depressing aura ... I agree with your take on Uncle Rico. (Reminds me of the baseball player in Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”)
For me, the best part of the movie is watching with commentary and realizing that nearly every scene is based on a true story from the director’s life, but when he was in middle school. Most of the humor is seeing high school juniors acting in 6th grade mentality. 😂
@@kittycake713 No. Gail the Snail is Mary Lynn Rajskub. She's hilarious. I don't remember the other actress's name, but she's the same girl who played Molly in Corrina Corrina. They do kinda look alike.
The first time watching this movie was the hardest I’ve ever laughed in my entire life. This movie was a masterpiece. my favorite scene is him working with the chickens 🤣🤣
This is freaking amazing! I had no idea this footage existed! I am from Idaho and I have family in Preston and have spent many Summers working on farms in preston. I know the town very well and Napoleon Dynamite is one of my all-time favorite movies.
I quote this movie aaaaall the time. Never gets old. And its so awesome to see this BTS of an iconic masterpiece of nostalgic and bores-of-summer comedy.
The first time I watched this movie I wasn’t impressed yet I watched it from start to finish. The second time I laughed my head off. I’ve since watched it about 10 times now and enjoy more each time I watch. I love it.
The first time I watched this was such a fever dream. I was like 9 and we were given random movies, including jackass 💀 I had mixed feelings about it and it just felt like I was watching the weirdest movie. I ended up so damn happy because it was so random and funny. When I first watched its always sunny in Philly I was overjoyed to see napoleons grandma be Mac’s mom
Perfect. It encapsulates the Northern Utah-Idaho small town good boy warrior wizards we all knew we were if only given the chance to show our skills....
I still remember Napoleon Dynamite in theaters with my mom. We had no idea what we were walking into, it was just a movie to watch. We left the theater flabbergasted lol half hating it and half loving it.
I’ve seen this movie a hundred times, and to see these scenes inverted amazes me in that the actors are really just warm bodies, but the directors and editors make the magic.
Yeah that's sort of an odd takeaway considering how we can literally see the actors putting their own spin on the scenes in real time. The direction they're getting is important, but pretty vague.
My brother hasn’t been working recently due to health issues. I still come home after work all the time and say “stay home and eat all the freakin’ chips Jason” 😂

Napoleon Dynamite is an absolute masterpiece.
I'm going to have to rewatch it
I would definitely agree. Masterpiece.
"That's... why I'm here."
GFY...
Indeed.
We are still telling each other to "make a dang quesadilla" at our house.
Of course you are. That’s a timeless line, delivered with such disdain by Grandma. (Me too.)
Same here lmao
Doesn’t everyone? This is such a classic line!
Same😂
Right on! We even have a specific recipe for a "Dang Quesadilla".
400k to make the movie, went on to earn 46 million worldwide just in ticket sales. Few movies ever make such a rate of return.
I really surprised they didn't make a sequel just for the money.
@@richardmcelheney6430 really glad they didn’t lmfaoo probably would’ve ruined it
I'm surprised they had a budget of 400k 😂😂 best part of the movie is the fact it looks like the budget was 2000 dollars

Seeing Napoleon Dynamite smile is kind of frightening because it never happens
He smiled at the end of the movie.
Was there really a fly flying around that house
That's called acting
Actually once... a tiny bit... when Kip is at the train station...
If you look closely in the mirror at Rex Kwon Do, Napoleon smirks when Kip starts doing those weak kicks.

He has a cute smile 😁
don't you dare. 16 year old movie? I had the movie poster on my wall....time really does fly

Holy shit it makes so much sense
Grugghhhh.
She's also in Ray Donovan
Wow cool story bro
👍
" Dude, Jared. I had my wedding ring on in that one shot. "
" That's okay, I don't care. "

Fantastic movie all-around.

I'd watch a behind the scenes of the behind the scenes of the entire movie.
It's weird that the behind the scenes is so much like the movie
I don’t think it’s all that weird. Also, what made the dad so sad?
What genius wrote this movie I don’t think we’ll ever get another masterpiece like this
Nacho Libre
Nacho libre is almost as legendary, agreed
How about clerks?
The foot fist way
It’s great in my opinion. Clerks is also great in my opinion. I’ve never seen the entirety of The Foot Fist Way and as such I can’t complete the trilogy, but Rex Kwon Do has probably seen it.
The chemistry on this set is so wholesome and playful
Coming from the crew side of the filmmaking world myself, I'll bet this crew was talking so much shit during this whole production haha. Probably saying how stupid of a movie they were shooting and not knowing how awesome it really was and how big it would become.

I remember when they included cool BTS stuff on DVDs and whatnot.
Some had Mini Games and stuff even.
Kids today will never get cool bonuses.
I know I miss that stuff so much. They were always janky and awful but so fun.
My Ice Age DVD had games on it. I remember having to use the remote controller to play them.
Oh yeah, I loved the special features and games on our Monsters Inc DVD.
Shrek 2 had mini games on the dvd
I remember listening to dvd commentaries like pirates of the caribbean
this is sadly nostalgic. love this movie. miss my childhood 🥲

It’s crazy that this movie flopped in theaters... people just weren’t ready for that kind of humor at the time. I’m so happy people appreciate now.
I saw it in theatres like twice so I guess me and my friends knew good cinema when we see it
It didn’t flop it made over 44 million in a limited release and was a cultural phenomenon right away.
Remember Blockbuster and other video stores? It was released and quickly a rental that you could never find because they were always rented out!
I love the way uncle Rico had to smell check the plunger before he bought it! Like he was checking to make sure it didn't smell like doodoo! LOL!!!
