Matthew Sinclair “It’s Showtime! Wait til they get a load of me?” Actually, if you think back to Nicholson’s performance in The Shining, I could totally see it.
In the "Day-o" scene, when the shrimp cocktails reach up and grab their faces, it was filmed in reverse because the actors kept getting poked in the eye
According to Alec Baldwin; Michael Keaton improvised spitting a lougee into his jacket and saying "Save that one for later." They had to cut because Alec burst out laughing.
I loved this movie. I wouldn't change a thing. The sound track was great, the cast was perfect and I love the sets and make up. Tim Burton has never disappointed me.
Tim burton is a genius! This movie is a Halloween favorite of mine I've seen this movie 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it! Not to mention the fact that you're talking to a live girl! Now, what do ya think? Ya think I'm qualified?
Always remember that scene in Batman, right before Bruce is shot by the Joker in Vicki Vales apartment, when Beetlejuice comes out: "you wanna get nuts? Cmon, lets get nuts!!"
Obscure enough to have an animated series, multiple tries for a purported sequel & a recent musical (which tries to underplay & even bury the BJ X Lyds ship that actually has kept the brand alive to the current day, despite its pedo-meets-necro immoral implications, nevermind "the whole being dead thing").
The sandworm dimension is Saturn. Beetlejuice, while trying to relate with Adam and Barbara, noticed the yellow sand on Adam's back and says "You've been to Saturn? Hey, I've been to Saturn! Whoa... sandworms. You hate em, right? I hate em myself!"
I remember the casting was controversial at the time, just proves that actors are actors, a good actor can surprise you when they transform a character.
Acting is ACTING & anyone who can't do both drama & comedy is only in for the money! When you act you take on a role & change Yourself to fit the role! A great actor can adapt & add lib, like Michael Keaton & Robin Williams & Diane Keaton, great & believable in any genre & role! I think Robin Williams would have been great but also changed the outcome, a lot! But Sammy Davis Jr ??? Great at drama and comedy but I don't think this role was for him, even if he were younger😢!
We spent a week with Ms. Gina Davis( both our kids were in the hospital and she was in the room next to us.) So we got to meet her and spend some time with her. We never ask for autographs or ask to take pics of her and never even told anyone until we both left the hospital. I told her that my wife and I grew up watch her movies but after that week that I can’t see her as Gina Davis the movie start but as Gina Davis the mom. She spent almost the whole week there and didn’t leave and when she came out to ask if I could bring my daughter service dog in to see her son, she didn’t even have makeup on. She was really nice and concern about my daughter. My wife and her got along really well. I think it was nice for Ms Davis to have someone to talk too. He then husband and I got along great, he was a doctor at the hospital. Really pleasant family. Funny thing(maybe sad, realized my age at this point)is that all the young nurses didn’t know who she was. My daughter didn’t know either, she just said “you mean that really nice lady”. Anyway pleasant memory for us, Ms. Davis even knitted a few some things for my daughter as that is how she past the time in the hospital.
That is wonderful to hear! What a great experience and she has always seemed really down to earth(no pun intended!🤣🤣-earth girls are easy) but seriously she has stayed out of all the crazy hollyweird stuff.
Just watched The Long Kiss Goodnight with my wife the other night. Seen it dozens of times but her and Sam Jackson are so much fun to watch in it together.
What are your qualifications? Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
I've never understood if he's making a joke about applying for a job up until the dead guy part (like, "are you seriously asking a dead guy if he's qualified to do dead guy things?"), or was this legitimate backstory. I kind of "don't" want his backstory really, as it's kind of like the Joker's. The more you know him, the less you like him.
@@mexicanspec I thought so, too, but he's seen the exorcist as well? Went to Juliard and Harvard I think he said? So I wasn't sure if it wasn't just anachronisms or not.
12:18 Yep, I was nine when this movie came out and I absolutely loved it. I saw it in the theatre and later wore out the VHS. To this day, I have every bit of dialogue memorized and can even recreate the delivery for each character although I bet it’s been 15 years since I last saw it. Oh, to have a renaissance in entertainment where unique and masterfully done movies like Beetlejuice or The Fifth Element crop up with regularity again.
Beetlejuice was in the movie more than the shark was in Jaws. It works with the antagonists because you can still feel the imperative of his presence when not around.
Welp, I _was_ gonna say that it was before they split it into PG and PG13... but I just looked it up and it started July 1, 1984. So... who knows what happened there?
@@pappagetti Just the way he delivers that entire answer is priceless and makes the kick start of his character that much better! Love this movie every time I see it. It NEVER gets old 2 me. Much Love & Many Smiles. Plz Take Care & Be Safe.
This is one of my all time favorites and I really enjoyed learning more about it! I really appreciate your videos, so many films you cover are my childhood favorites and it takes me back to a better time.
Fun fact Betelgeuse is experiencing serious drop in luminosity. It dropped in 2020 to 21st brightest star. Scientist wonder if it is related to possible near death phase which will end up in supernova explosion.
Actually, it could have already gone supernova as it is 500 (or 5000 I can't remember) light years away so could have already blown up and we won't know for some time.
Update: Turns out it was just a fart. The astronomers were freaking out, thinking it was about to go out, but it just farted a dust cloud which obscured the star’s luminosity. Cheeky bastard.
but in the musical he says to Lydia, "hay I get it, you and me, we're not that different, you don't like your dad and I don't like my mom, she's a demon and impossible, she's always like get a job or why is your hair purple... I should have left like your father!"
So, from 1997 to 1999 I worked at Universal Studios Hollywood as Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice’s Rockin Graveyard Revue. I had my head cast in plaster and a custom wig made for my head just like Keaton. And I’ve got to say, you’re kinda right about both colors. It’s basically a platinum blonde colored wig “dressed” to look (like his face) as if it has been covered in mold. So the skin up the forehead that blends into the roots of his hair are a moldy green, but as the hair continues out, it turns more blonde/white.
Glad I finally caught this video, Beetlejuice is my favorite movie of all time! As for the animated series, there is actually 4 seasons and the 4th season alone has well over 30 episodes! Unfortunately only the first 2 seasons were shown on TV. As a side note I think it would have been more fitting to see Angelica Houston play Lydia's mom. In the original script Lydia has a younger sibling with psychic abilities who helps defeat the winged demon, Beetlejuice. The resurrection scene when Ottho is reading from the handbook contained passages to destroy him for good. I think if this film ever gets a reboot they should go with the original script.
Who’d have thought Beetlejuice would become a successful Broadway musical? Imagine going back in time to 1988 when the original film was fresh in theaters and you talked to these random people just coming out of the theater after seeing the film and telling them 30 years later there’d be a Broadway musical adaptation. How’d you think they’d react? 🤔
Thanks for this second take. I love Beetlejuice! Saw it in theaters & many times since.The special effects work because it's a comedy. And as you mention so sweet-spirited. I did't know Michael Keaton came up with so much of it but it doesn't surprise me. This movie is just so damn much fun, always was, and now I have to watch it again.
The hair colour might have to do with something simple like the tone of the lighting or a coloured filter being used. In a lot of scenes, there's a bright green hue being used in the background, which might negate certain tones of the haircolour. A coloured filter on the camera (or the lights) would probably do the same thing. I was stunned to see his hair was green too!! Thanks for another great video Minty--your taste and style are impeccable!!
Thanks for the re-upload. I love this movie, and your content rocks. I also watched the animated series as a kid, my favorite joke being the "Punk in pie".
I remember watching the animated Beetlejuice. I remember also loving the movie as a kid. Glad to know I wasn't the only weird kiddo around. My parents couldn't figure out why I like it so much. I didn't even know why I like it.
I think that beetlejuice not being in much of the movie helped enhance the mystery around him. The thing I loved about the movie was that there were so many interesting characters, ghosts and monsters that made me so curious about the beetlejuice universe
I do think that Beetlejuice was the correct amount of time in the movie. More of him would dominate the movie too much. Wanting to see more of him actually made the movie more exciting!
So far as movies go, the title makes sense. Jaws was only in Jaws for four minutes. Going more modern, Kong is only onscreen for fourteen minutes in Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla got less than 10 minutes in one of his reboots. I always thought of Beetlejuice as being a story about the Maitlands, Beetlejuice as the final antagonist of the movie. Thanks for showing the deleted scenes; I wish we got the shot of them hanging out the window, that was a nice touch.
A classic indeed, even though I didn't care for it originally, but I was just out of high school when it came out and not a fan of horror or horror comedy, but when I rewatched it years later, I loved it!!! Not sure about the hair myself, but I've always thought of it as green and the alternative world could have been explained better in my opinion. Thanks, as always for the inside look.
This video is Marvellous, Marvellous, Marvellous! 😍 I saw "Beetlejuice", for the first time last week, and positively adored it. Keaton is barely recognisable underneath all the garish make-up, and Winona is a true icon! 🕸️🕷️
Wow girl. U JUST saw the movie last week?? Lol. U have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to some cult classics. Stick with us kid and we will be sure to hook ya up with what to watch 🙃😉🙂
What do you mean "Look at the Prince songs from the Batman movie?" Prince is timeless and it still works. That is one of the best movie soundtracks ever! Also, so is the soundtrack from Batman Forever with Seal and U2.
Also, in Beetlejuice the animated series, Lydia's parents, Charles & Delia, know NOTHING about Beetlejuice, whereas in the movie, they learned of his "existence" when Lydia summoned him during a seance led by Otho, who was attempting to rid the house of the ghosts of the Maitlands
Tim Burton was involved with the Beetlejuice animated series, as he was the one who developed the show as well as being its executive producer. Also, the show’s theme song was by Danny Elfman himself.
@@Ididnotwanttojoin I know. But the film was only named _Beetlejuice_ once not-literally animated Michael Keaton as the titular undead sleaze Betelgeuse (his name is only spelled the other way for phonetic & marketing reasons) & sullenly suicidal AKA emo outcast turned perky goth Lydia Deetz portrayed effortlessly by "strange & unsual" Winona Ryder at just age 16 essentially sole the breakthrough scenes away from Alec Baldwin & Geena Davis's admittedly dullard, deadbeat ghostly couple The Maitlands, meanwhile Lydia's nuerotic father Charles (played by IRL sex offender Jeffrey Jones), Lydia's eccentric stepmother Delia (played by Catherine O'Hara [aka Kevin McCallister's mom in the first 2 - and best - _Home Alone_ movies]) & Otho (played by Glen Shadix), the interior fashion designer who dabbled in the occult on the side, chewed the scenery as secondary filler.
@@Ididnotwanttojoin He was too (for this film, anyway). Outside of "Noni" (as her friends used to call her back then) as teen outcast misfit Lydia, her trendy parents & their partner-in-crime/fashion designer/interior decorator/brief occultist dabbler Otho were all basically side plot characters until the final moments of the actual movie involving the climatic séance/almost-wedding/Barbara riding a sandworm to send BJ back to the Neitherworld waiting room scenes, given that the bulk of the film focused on The Maitlands troubles with being dead & failing to scare the Deetz's away ("My father never walks away from equity" as Lydia bluntly informs the undead couple) before calling upon the sleazy freelance bio-exorcist (who falsely claimed to be capable of getting rid of the living taking up residence in haunted houses inhabited by their ghostly former owners) & never returning him from whence he came once he was set loose.
When there's no room in Hell... the dead will dance to Harry Belafonte! Semi-seriously, though: Am I the only one in the world who got the hints from this movie that there's a housing shortage in the Afterlife? Think about it: afterlife social services are backed up so long they have you spending 3 months in their waiting room, only to find you've been set up to haunt your old house for 125 years before moving on? Juno (and formerly Beetlejuice) are working with the afterlife equivalent of the housing authority to try to mitigate this, but basically, yeah, the afterlife's full and they have a housing shortage!
I love the soundtrack of this movie, so much so that I added Harry Bellafonte's Day-O and Shake Senora to my son's Playlist. He is 8 months old and they are his favorite songs. He can't get enough of those songs in particular.
Mintys talking in a real funny tone in the intro. Like he's patronising us lol I remember the cartoon more than the movie! Damn, those toys I haven't seen in almost 30years! Didn't realise I had so many Beetlejuice toys! They were awesome. Wish I still had all that stuff
Sometimes somebody of the right age has to pipe in. I am 42 years old. Beetlejuice the cartoon in western Canada anyway was an absolute smash. Everybody I knew couldn't wait for that next episode on Saturday morning cartoons. It was liked just as much as Ghostbusters for its time. Please take my word on that.
Hey Minty! They get his green hair look yellow because he's always on a blue spotlight... blue + green = yellow? heh Thanks for all your movies analysis, loved them! Cheers from Argentina!
No, she's part of the "soft white under belly" which unfortunately, looks like you in that damn, profile pic!🤢 Gross, poor Lori Lightfoot, she works hard for the money!🤮 Spew!
Dude... I did a painting of beetlejuice a few months ago and came to the same hair speed bump.... In the cartoon his hair was blonde/yellow and the movie it is seemingly different depending on the scene. After seeing your video i can see it is clearly green in makeup but i dont recall ever seeing it that green in the movie. Its a very dark movie and lighting will play a big effect. I did make it green in my painting though lol. Beetlejuice is definitely one of my favorites, seen it probably a 100 times not exaggerating. Picked up the 4k gift set. Great vid, i did not know all of this 👍
I just realized that you posted this video on my birthday! lol This was is one of my most favorite movies, ever. I also LOVED the cartoon show. I loved that the DVD for the movie comes with like 5 or 6 episodes of the show in the special features. But I thought this movie was the greatest, and I showed this to my friend's son when he was about 4 or 5 and HE loved it, too. I was so proud haha Love your videos, man. Keep up the good work. I just love it!
Sometimes in my office I go to call someone, and they call me as I pick up my phone. I say Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice and nearly all actually get it. Most even see the humor in it. I must be around funny or odd people.

This movie is proof, that even though Michael Keaton was great as Batman, he could have been a good Joker as well.
I guess Keaton would have pulled it off as the Joker. Can you imagine Jack Nicholson as Beetlejuice??
Matthew Sinclair “It’s Showtime! Wait til they get a load of me?” Actually, if you think back to Nicholson’s performance in The Shining, I could totally see it.
Beetlejuice is kind of like an undead Joker.
Heidi Fedor wow, I love your way of thinking... I never thought of that 👍
Matthew Sinclair here’s Beetlejuice
i have seen beetlejuice 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time i see it
Best line of the movie!!
Not to mention, you’re talking to the living.
👌😂
Haha perfect!
But how many times have you say "Beetlejuice"?
In the "Day-o" scene, when the shrimp cocktails reach up and grab their faces, it was filmed in reverse because the actors kept getting poked in the eye
Michael Keaton is amazing in this film... he basically made this movie the success it was.
Please give some credit to the amazing Tim Burton...the movie would never be anywhere without him...NOW adding Michael keaton DAAAMMNNN!!!
The success it “IS” lol
The cartoon show is HIGHLY underrated. I found it recently on DVD and binge watched the whole thing in three days.
4 seasons in three days...did you eat??
@@Utubesanarc LOL! They're all twenty minutes long, didn't take that much time.
@@Craxin01 that's still 94 episodes..if you split it up without breaks that's 10-11 hours straight a day you watched it..
@@packerpf Yeah, that sounds about right. That's why they call it binge watching.
It's brilliant. Loved it as a kid, now catching more of the subtle humor these days.
According to Alec Baldwin; Michael Keaton improvised spitting a lougee into his jacket and saying "Save that one for later." They had to cut because Alec burst out laughing.

Always remember that scene in Batman, right before Bruce is shot by the Joker in Vicki Vales apartment, when Beetlejuice comes out: "you wanna get nuts? Cmon, lets get nuts!!"
I seen that and I thought beetle juice before I released its was Micheal Keaton
Every time I see that part now, I think "There's his Beetlejuice voice".
The "Day-O" song pops in my head when I have shimp cocktail.
I miss movies like this. So obscure, yet so original. Movies are not made like this anymore.
Yeah, all CGI and explosions. Stay safe.
Yes, today’s movies take themselves too serious.
Obscure enough to have an animated series, multiple tries for a purported sequel & a recent musical (which tries to underplay & even bury the BJ X Lyds ship that actually has kept the brand alive to the current day, despite its pedo-meets-necro immoral implications, nevermind "the whole being dead thing").

Oohhh I got it now
Sandwoema remind me of Dune
I read that in Beetlejuice's voice and i saw the scene in my head hahaha
Michael Keaton was thee best Batman, hands down! Beetlejuice is one of my favorites, I love Tim Burton's movies!
I can’t believe they would’ve went with any other actor to play Batman after his rendition.
I remember the casting was controversial at the time, just proves that actors are actors, a good actor can surprise you when they transform a character.
I TOTALLY AGREE! He set the bar HIGH for the ones who followed and imo he was the best!

In the movie, in the _theatre,_ Beetlejuice's hair _IS_ bright green.😂😂😂 Keaton _should_ have gotten an Oscar for this role!!

Agreed
Beetlejuice was in the movie more than the shark was in Jaws. It works with the antagonists because you can still feel the imperative of his presence when not around.
I never noticed that Beetlejuice was barely in his own movie. 😂
What about it being the only movie, I know of, to ever drop an F bomb in a PG movie?

Finding the chicago mayor to have time for this years ago, must of been difficult.

I named my daughter Delia. That's her in my pfp.
I had a companion named Lydia until a giant sent her into space..
Was it an all black cat.?
Nah she was a fluffy grey tabby. My black cat is named Celie
YOU'RE DEALING WITH A PROFESSIONAL HERE.....🤣🤣

One thing you didn’t know is that beetlejuice became mayor of Chicago
It’s simple.. NOTHING compares to the 80s! Classic 💎
A few years ago, I bought the DVD to show my kids... TOTALLY FORGOT ALL THE ADULT HUMOR LOL!
Fun video man! Thank you.
Thanks for the re-upload. I love this movie, and your content rocks. I also watched the animated series as a kid, my favorite joke being the "Punk in pie".
Cheers, Minty. Thanks for sharing these things that you're passionate about. Keep at it. Blessings!
Appreciate the re-upload!
This is one of my favorite movies. And as a fan of old crooners, i would love to see how sammy Davis Jr would do the role.
this film will always stay in my top 20 favourite films. Michael Keaton is superb
For me as a 80s/90s kid, Beetlejuice is definitely in the top 10 of greatest movies
Thanks Minty! I never got to see this before it was taken down. This is in my top five movies of all time for me.
Top 5 Tim Burton movie for me 😁
Skellington Fan
A nightmare before Christmas is definitely up there for me too. Love me some Jack Skellington
Oh the movie not the mayor of Chicago
🤣🤣🤣you beat me too it
say the name 3 times she might crawl out of her pit and haunt you
StarStarbreez As long as it gets her out of Chicago before it becomes hell...oh wait...to late
I remember watching the animated Beetlejuice. I remember also loving the movie as a kid. Glad to know I wasn't the only weird kiddo around. My parents couldn't figure out why I like it so much. I didn't even know why I like it.
I think that beetlejuice not being in much of the movie helped enhance the mystery around him. The thing I loved about the movie was that there were so many interesting characters, ghosts and monsters that made me so curious about the beetlejuice universe
Yes I hope they will expand the beetleverse more in the sequel movie!
I remember going to see this at the theater. I’m THAT old.
Did you know that if you say Minty's name three times, he shows up to talk about one of his collectables.
I do think that Beetlejuice was the correct amount of time in the movie. More of him would dominate the movie too much. Wanting to see more of him actually made the movie more exciting!
So far as movies go, the title makes sense. Jaws was only in Jaws for four minutes. Going more modern, Kong is only onscreen for fourteen minutes in Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla got less than 10 minutes in one of his reboots. I always thought of Beetlejuice as being a story about the Maitlands, Beetlejuice as the final antagonist of the movie. Thanks for showing the deleted scenes; I wish we got the shot of them hanging out the window, that was a nice touch.
I remember when I finally bought this movie on DVD; I watched it twice. It felt like a long quest was done for me.
Lori Lightfoot, Lori Lightfoot, Lori Lightfoot.
A classic indeed, even though I didn't care for it originally, but I was just out of high school when it came out and not a fan of horror or horror comedy, but when I rewatched it years later, I loved it!!! Not sure about the hair myself, but I've always thought of it as green and the alternative world could have been explained better in my opinion. Thanks, as always for the inside look.
I would love to see a remake of Beetlejuice done like a full on horror like A Nightmare on Elm Street
"Attention K-Mart shoppers...!"
"Welcome to Winter River! Museum of national greed! A monument to the bored businessman! Step right up! Test your strength!"
People watching this in the future aren't going to have any damn clue what K-Mart is.
@@Thornbloom yeah sadly they closed the last Kmart beginning of this year.
@@IffyJottere Changed to Peaceful Pines in the cartoon.
nice fucking model
This video is Marvellous, Marvellous, Marvellous! 😍 I saw "Beetlejuice", for the first time last week, and positively adored it. Keaton is barely recognisable underneath all the garish make-up, and Winona is a true icon! 🕸️🕷️
Wow girl. U JUST saw the movie last week?? Lol. U have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to some cult classics. Stick with us kid and we will be sure to hook ya up with what to watch 🙃😉🙂
What do you mean "Look at the Prince songs from the Batman movie?" Prince is timeless and it still works. That is one of the best movie soundtracks ever! Also, so is the soundtrack from Batman Forever with Seal and U2.
It took me years before I knew it was Baldwin.
Seems nothing like him!
Thanks Minty, this is one of my fav Tim Burton films ❤️❤️❤️
Go ahead... Make my millennium
Loved that line !!
Also, in Beetlejuice the animated series, Lydia's parents, Charles & Delia, know NOTHING about Beetlejuice, whereas in the movie, they learned of his "existence" when Lydia summoned him during a seance led by Otho, who was attempting to rid the house of the ghosts of the Maitlands
Tim Burton was involved with the Beetlejuice animated series, as he was the one who developed the show as well as being its executive producer. Also, the show’s theme song was by Danny Elfman himself.
I think Burton suggested ”Scared shitless”, so Beetlejuice would’t sound so bad and to make them back off.
Oh yes, I recall hearing about that. Burton was reportedly horrified when the studio seriously considered using that title! 😂
@@Ididnotwanttojoin But dumb puns work well with the franchise. See the animated series for living (and dead) proof of that.
@@Ididnotwanttojoin I know. But the film was only named _Beetlejuice_ once not-literally animated Michael Keaton as the titular undead sleaze Betelgeuse (his name is only spelled the other way for phonetic & marketing reasons) & sullenly suicidal AKA emo outcast turned perky goth Lydia Deetz portrayed effortlessly by "strange & unsual" Winona Ryder at just age 16 essentially sole the breakthrough scenes away from Alec Baldwin & Geena Davis's admittedly dullard, deadbeat ghostly couple The Maitlands, meanwhile Lydia's nuerotic father Charles (played by IRL sex offender Jeffrey Jones), Lydia's eccentric stepmother Delia (played by Catherine O'Hara [aka Kevin McCallister's mom in the first 2 - and best - _Home Alone_ movies]) & Otho (played by Glen Shadix), the interior fashion designer who dabbled in the occult on the side, chewed the scenery as secondary filler.
@@Ididnotwanttojoin He was too (for this film, anyway). Outside of "Noni" (as her friends used to call her back then) as teen outcast misfit Lydia, her trendy parents & their partner-in-crime/fashion designer/interior decorator/brief occultist dabbler Otho were all basically side plot characters until the final moments of the actual movie involving the climatic séance/almost-wedding/Barbara riding a sandworm to send BJ back to the Neitherworld waiting room scenes, given that the bulk of the film focused on The Maitlands troubles with being dead & failing to scare the Deetz's away ("My father never walks away from equity" as Lydia bluntly informs the undead couple) before calling upon the sleazy freelance bio-exorcist (who falsely claimed to be capable of getting rid of the living taking up residence in haunted houses inhabited by their ghostly former owners) & never returning him from whence he came once he was set loose.
When there's no room in Hell... the dead will dance to Harry Belafonte!
Semi-seriously, though: Am I the only one in the world who got the hints from this movie that there's a housing shortage in the Afterlife? Think about it: afterlife social services are backed up so long they have you spending 3 months in their waiting room, only to find you've been set up to haunt your old house for 125 years before moving on? Juno (and formerly Beetlejuice) are working with the afterlife equivalent of the housing authority to try to mitigate this, but basically, yeah, the afterlife's full and they have a housing shortage!
"Am I the only one--"
"No."
"But I didn't finish."
"It doesn't matter. The answer is always no."
Hey even in the afterlife you can't get away from Paperwork!
At least they didn't die in Italy.. Or Mesopotamia! Those lines must be longer than the Euphrates!
Well, it's not going to get better as long as people keep dying. They need to hire someone who can fix that problem.
I love the soundtrack of this movie, so much so that I added Harry Bellafonte's Day-O and Shake Senora to my son's Playlist. He is 8 months old and they are his favorite songs. He can't get enough of those songs in particular.
#3 - I'm glad you mentioned this, because for many years I didn't even know about the movie until the late 90s.
Thank you so much for bringing this back, didn't get to see the first run! And totally jealous of the doll!!!
My favorite as a kid. Love the 80’s early 90’s nostalgia 🖤🖤
Same n I still love it like a kid still lol😄
Mintys talking in a real funny tone in the intro. Like he's patronising us lol I remember the cartoon more than the movie! Damn, those toys I haven't seen in almost 30years! Didn't realise I had so many Beetlejuice toys! They were awesome. Wish I still had all that stuff
Sometimes somebody of the right age has to pipe in.
I am 42 years old.
Beetlejuice the cartoon in western Canada anyway was an absolute smash.
Everybody I knew couldn't wait for that next episode on Saturday morning cartoons.
It was liked just as much as Ghostbusters for its time.
Please take my word on that.
Hey Minty! They get his green hair look yellow because he's always on a blue spotlight... blue + green = yellow? heh Thanks for all your movies analysis, loved them! Cheers from Argentina!
Yeah his hair is green it was the lighting that made it look blond.
In the cartoons his hair was blonde.
Wouldn't the hair color be called "Bleen" as Kelly Bundy would say.
Randomly pacific.
I’m relieved someone else picked this up
It's the opposite of intentionally Atlantic I guess.
@@DasKrug 😂
'Randomly pacific'? Not Atlantic or Indian?
This grates on me. As it does when he says 'of which' and it makes no grammatical sense.
BeetleJuice is one of my FAVORITES!! thanks for making this!
No 1: He's the Mayor of Chicago!
Little known fact: Beetlejuice went on to be the current mayor of Chicago.
Dang .. you beat me to it. Not a lot of people know this, and I encourage everyone to research the topic : )
No, she's part of the "soft white under belly" which unfortunately, looks like you in that damn, profile pic!🤢
Gross, poor Lori Lightfoot, she works hard for the money!🤮 Spew!
😂😂😂 Nice. 😂😂😂
Good one
@Desert Locust Agreed.
Hey coach, I don’t think we survived that crash!?
"What was your first guess?"
How did you guess?
@@sarahsims6164 haha, script correct. 👍
Dude... I did a painting of beetlejuice a few months ago and came to the same hair speed bump.... In the cartoon his hair was blonde/yellow and the movie it is seemingly different depending on the scene. After seeing your video i can see it is clearly green in makeup but i dont recall ever seeing it that green in the movie. Its a very dark movie and lighting will play a big effect. I did make it green in my painting though lol. Beetlejuice is definitely one of my favorites, seen it probably a 100 times not exaggerating. Picked up the 4k gift set. Great vid, i did not know all of this 👍
My son and I used to watch the cartoon when he was 8 years old. Beetlejuice is still one of our favorite movies.
I remember watching the animated series as a teenager I don't know why I enjoyed it so much especially at my age but I never missed a episode
I loved the Beetlejuice Cartoon! My dad and I used to watch it together a lot.
I absolutely LOVED this cartoon! Don't know how it only lasted 2 seasons...
I just realized that you posted this video on my birthday! lol
This was is one of my most favorite movies, ever. I also LOVED the cartoon show. I loved that the DVD for the movie comes with like 5 or 6 episodes of the show in the special features.
But I thought this movie was the greatest, and I showed this to my friend's son when he was about 4 or 5 and HE loved it, too. I was so proud haha
Love your videos, man. Keep up the good work. I just love it!
That's for removing the loud crash at the beginning Minty logo. No more R.I.P. to eardrums anymore!🤣👍
Beetlejuice,beetlejuice,beetlejuice
It's Showtime...
Sometimes in my office I go to call someone, and they call me as I pick up my phone. I say Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice and nearly all actually get it. Most even see the humor in it. I must be around funny or odd people.
❤️ thank you for taking me back😎👍🍻 awesome video!
This was my favorite movie as a kid. I've watched it hundreds of times.
