Great fun wild film and Bill murray pretty much made up stuff as he played the goofy character, A big hill was built from scratch for the climactic 18th-hole scene, because the country club did not want its course blown up. The pyrotechnic people used too many explosives, which completely destroyed the hill and caused planes flying by to report the explosion,since it was filmed near a Ft Lauderdale airport
Rodney Dangerfield basically plays the same guy in every movie. As others have recommended, "Back to School," and may I suggest another of my favorites, "Easy Money"? Rodney was the king of comedy in the early-mid 80s with these movies. Y'all should check out one of those compilation videos of his standup routine. The man was hilarious!!!
@@johncasey281 Chevy actually said "Caddyshack played a big hand in ending the feud, We got over everything. The tension was short-lived. I have nothing but admiration and affection for Bill". So your comment is wrong, Sorry.
Glad you get the reference! I've blurted out the line with a few friends and acquaintances, thinking they knew movies well enough, and...crickets. LoL. Great Line! Can't imagine anyone delivering it better than Ted Knight did.
This is such a quotable film. I’ve often said that 3/4 of the things I say first appeared on “Caddyshack”, “Stripes”, “Meatballs” or “Ghostbusters”. A little of me goes a long way, sadly.
When you said at about 6:19 was, to paraphrase, "That guy has been in a lot of movies but he wasn't as thin as he was back then". Brian Doyle Murray played Jack Ruby in JFK and was also the father of the "Bubble Boy" on Seinfeld.
I watched your entire video and I really enjoyed watching you love this classic Caddyshack. I am a huge fan. I own the movie on Blu-ray and I even have some Caddyshack hats and shirts. First saw it in 1982 on HBO. Watch it again on VHS when I was a teenager and probably have seen it over a hundred times. It is very rewatchable.
There was a toy version of the Gopher that danced to "I'm Alright" which came out around the early 2,000s. It looks like there may be some available on eBay. I have one, but it no longer sings and dances:(
A place I used to work at used that dancing gopher plush as a sales trophy. Whichever office won it would to take it on adventures and document its adventures in photos.
I lived about an hour from the country club where Caddyshack was filmed. The hijinx off camera were outrageous compared to what was in the movie, and were daily fodder for the local radio morning shows.
Run, Gopher, Run!! 🤣Good one, Ladies. This was a lot of fun to rewatch with you. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂 Oh, and you both look Marvelous. As always. 😊
Caddyshack is one of those few movies when I turn it on no matter where it is in the movie I stay and watch it. I’ve seen it when it first came out and literally dozens of times since lol
Michael O'Keefe, Danny Noonan, was married to Bonnie Raitt. They came to the theater where I worked to watch her father's (John Raitt) last professional stage performance before he retired. He is over 6 feet tall and Bonnie is 5' 3''. He towered over her. She had beautiful, long red, Lady Godiva style hair that went down to her knees.
That's so strange. In the late 70s I was tending bar and on the side making drinks at opening night cast parties every two weeks at a summer stock theater. John Raitt was in a play there and his daughter Bonnie was at the cast party with him. I got to talk a bit with her. Super nice.

6:13 That’s Brian Doyle Murray, Bill Murray’s brother. I remember him as Clark’s boss in Christmas Vacation, the desk clerk at the camp rentals in Vacation, and he was in Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, “Punxsutawney Phil, the prognosticator of prognosticators!” I think he may have been in Stooged, too, but I can’t remember.
22:40.....The man playing the bishop is Henry Wilcoxin, ladies, a long time character actor. His most famous role was in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, from 1956, and the music they're playing over the golf game scene is from that very same film.

@@johndrews206 Hell, they improvised so much of this movie that it ended up changing the entire plot.

Apparently in a lot of the scenes he had with Rodney Dangerfield, the annoyed look on Ted Knight’s face (Judge Smails) was real because Rodney kept ad libbing his lines and it threw Knight off.
Saw this in a theater with Dad and Brother. We all loved it so much, we all went back again and took Grandma to see it. My favorite line in this film is Maggie's "Oh God! That's all I need!"
In 1986, I was the "Carl" of our gang. The other guys would plant Baby Ruths' at parties, and I would be the one that picks it up and eats it, and say " it's not that bad."
In the Fall of 1980 we got this movie/vhs tape stuck in the player and had to purchase it from the store. for the next 3months we watched this movie over.. and over and over.. Enjoy.. i did!
You two areby far my favorite reactors. I love when you both laugh❤ This is a classic and as always a great reaction. Stay safe and I am looking forward to the next one!
They originally wanted a real gopher for the movie but they were shown a puppet would be better and they went with it. Harold Ramis got the idea of the gopher after watching a Mickey Mouse short called “Canine Caddy” where Mickey is golfing and Pluto is going after a gopher on the course. Bill Murray improvised a lot of his stuff. His character was originally supposed to be a Groucho Marx type character but after Bill was cast Harold Ramis encouraged him to improvise his lines. This is Harold Ramis’s directorial debut. Bill scared the one kid when he had the pitchfork at his throat cause the pitchfork was real. 6:16 that’s Bill Murray’s brother Brian Doyle Murray. He’s also a cowriter of this movie. A lot of this movie is from experience that Brian & Bill along with Harold Ramis worked as Caddy’s as kids. The Baby Ruth pool scene happened at Brian’s high school. This was Ted Knight (Judge Smails) final film before he died. 16:53 the reason people put excessive sunscreen on their noses was if they wore glasses the lens would intensify the sun on your nose. I didn’t do that when I went to an open house on an Air Force base and my nose got extremely toasted (more roasted). 18:55 he didn’t have any left to offer her so he made do with what he had. 21:41 Harold Ramis being a new director was really good with Cindy Morgan (Judge Smails Niece). She was uncomfortable with the topless and sex scene so he ordered a closed set. One of the producers scheduled a playboy shoot for her and Harold canceled it when he saw she was not comfortable with it. 25:40 notice the Pastor who got struck by lightning in the background? 26:32 the final number the settle on at the end of the movie (80,000 a piece doubled on Danny’s final putt) come out to around $304,000 in 2024.
The "behind the scenes" shenanigans that went on during the filming of this are legendary. So much of it was ad-libbed as well. This was actually the first rated R movie I ever saw, as it came out when I was 15. Needless to say, I was very much impressed with Cindy Morgan! ;)
This movie was one long laugh in the theater when it came out. Bill Murray was under contract for just a few days and all of his bits were improvised.( notice he does not interact with the cast except…) The studio executives watched the dailies and asked how come Chevy Chase( the biggest star at the time) and Bill Murray , the hot young comic from SNL, don’t have a scene together. So on Murray’s last day he was to be there, the scene in the greens shed was filmed with no script. At the time this was a crowd pleaser and one giant laugh. The wine used I think is Alamand, which was the cheapest jug wine and bought by Winos and cheap college kids in America. After this, just watching Rodney on The Tonight Show was a moment not to miss.
I was just @ a hotel/golf resort in Florida, and on the property there's a Caddyshack themed restaurant owned by Bill Murray! They sell golf club covers that look like the gopher!
Ted Knight doesn’t get recognized for his humor as much as he should because he plays such a pretentious putz. He cracks me up in this. When he slices the ball and yells “damn!” It’s just one word, delivered to comic perfection
I first saw this on a video and the music got me and my first introduction to Rodney Dangerfield. And Natalie you said it perfectly. He's the bane of this guy's existence.. Such a great movie with great memories and now I can't get that song out of my head. I'm Alright. And that's not a bad thing..Cheers Gorgeous Ladies.xx
I don't know if they sold the goffers at the time, but I found one in a store like 20 years later. It was battery-powered, and it did a little dance to the theme song from the movie. Gave it to my then brother-in-law's niece for Christmas. She seemed to like it.
"That guy" is Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray's older brother. The two were in several films together, and Doyle-Murray had many appearances on his own, of course.
Great movie reaction ladies! This is one on my Mt Rushmore of comedies. I played golf in several tournaments while in the Navy. I could quote Bill Murray's "Cinderella Boy" monolog word for word. The first hole I would always bring it out. 😂. I can't remember if stuffed gophers were big but there was a line of gopher hand puppets after this movie.
Kenny Loggins said they still sell hand puppets of the gopher at concerts. Most of the lines frim Murray and Dangerfield were ad-libbed. Rodney’s script said, “do your act here”
This was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie. When the director said action to him, he had no idea what he was talking about, instead he came up with, Rodney do your thing
Watching this brought back fun memories of the crazy times at Indian Hills. Graduated from St Joe's where Bill's (who was a year older than me) sister Laura was in my class. The caddy master's name was Lou and he always had a racing form by his phone, from which he called his bookie. If a gumball machine had broken none of us would have paid any attention-too busy paying poker. Never looped with Bill, however did play poker with him.
With so many stand out performances by this ensemble of actors this film ranks as one of the top ten funny movies of all time! Ted Knight,Chevy Chase,Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray are absolutely perfect! Its worthy to note that the Bishop was played by a movie star from the 30's named Henry Wilcoxon and the Caddyshack operator was played by Brian Doyle Murray, Bill's brother.
24:27 The joke of the line by a "pregnant" Maggie is that she says, "Thanks for nothing!" However, in her thick Irish accent it sounds like "Thanks for NUTTIN!" and I guess we know what that means.
Many "prestigious" golf courses/country clubs still have caddies. It's more traditional, I guess. Plus, the caddies don't just carry your clubs. They have lots of accumulated knowledge about how to the play the course, the break of the greens, etc., which they share with whomever they're paired with. Oh yeah, and the manager of the caddy shack is played by Bill Murray's older brother, Brian-Doyle Murray, although I'm sure someone's already mentioned that here.
Let put it this way, i was in high school when Star Wars came out, and listening to people who claimed to see it over 100 times. When this came out in 1980, i love this movie so much it was crazy, I watched it almost every time it came on showtime, I guessed at one point I have seen this over 130 time, that is a generous estimate. I own the DVD and still watch it from time to time!!
I'm SO glad I got to see you gals react to this. It is a great comedy, and I thought you would really like it. I'm happy to have seen you laugh so much. And yes, the gopher is iconic!!!!
About five years ago, I went to a Goodwill and I saw the gopher on the counter, but I was a little too late. A person bought it, and it was electronic. It would dance with the music from the soundtrack.
"That guy" in charge of the caddies is Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray's older brother. Golf carts were out back in the 1930s ! Funniest line; "Hey, you wanna make $14 - the hard way?".
I saw this in the theaters back in the day. (I think I was 13 or 14 years old.) I don't remember any gopher marketing, but keep in mind: this was an R-rated adult film, and cute gophers being merchandised would have sent the message that this was a kid's movie. Not on-message, in other words. Can you imagine a Happy Meal tie-in where you get a toy gopher with your purchase?! Such an idea would have led to some adults staying away, and other adults (parents) being shocked - shocked! - at what they took their kids to go see. Fun fact: John Dykstra was the special effects guy in charge of lightning, stormy skies, and (of course) the gopher. Dykstra's previous films included "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and a little ol' movie called "Star Wars." No wonder that gopher is so awesome!
Great review. Brought back a lot of memories. I think my favorite Bill Murray movie is still Groundhog Day followed by the original Ghostbusters but this one’s definitely a classic as well. Just watched one of my favorite comedies from the 90s, Encino Man. If you guys haven’t seen that one, would love to see your review of it as well
Caddyshack was released on July 25, 1980, in 656 theaters, and grossed $3.1 million during its opening weekend; it went on to make $39,846,344 in North America, and $60 million worldwide. Cost about $6 million to make!
Bill murrray at the end before blowing the fuse singing under his breath (idk what creed/slogan) saying the military thing is low key one of the funniest moments of this to me- he’s just fully in on axing that gofer
The guy that runs the caddy shack and has been in a ton of movies is Bill Murray's brother. The judge didn't want Danny to say anything about his neice and if kept quite he'd give him the scholarship !
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment it's an absolute MUST!! One of the antagonists in the movie, went on to play almost the exact same character in two Twisted Sister music videos.
As others have mentioned, this was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie, and he knew literally nothing about making movies. He found success quite late in life, and was primarily a stand-up comedian. He was so used to getting instant laughs from the live audience when he was funny that when making the movie, he was constantly depressed and was convinced that he was TERRIBLE, since none of the people around him (the CREW!) were laughing at his jokes. The director had to explain to him that the crew wasn't ALLOWED to laugh, and they were dying inside trying desperately not to laugh, but that Rodney WAS funny and WAS doing a great job. Still, Rodney remained depressed about everything until the premiere, when he got raucous laughter at his jokes. Only then did he accept that his performance was good. Most of his lines were ad-libbed, so that's 100% Rodney just "doing his thing." Oh, and that wasn't "dynamite", it was "C-4 plastic explosive" - or at least, grey modeling clay that they passed off as C-4. Dynamite is generally in a stick that looks like a road flare.
I watched this movie so many times when it first aired on HBO about a year after its theatrical release in 1980. I would have been 13 then. Very quotable movie that my oldest friends can say a line and you can easily follow it up. It is in my top 5 of favorite comedies of all time.
This movie was absolutely SAVAGED by the majority of critics upon its release. It was deemed sophomoric and dumb and it coined the phrase “slob humor” which seemed fitting at the time but the film really found its audience on home video a few years later. It has endeared itself to everyone who was around then or saw it at an early age. It’s worth noting that the documentary made about this film’s production is worth watching. It is a story unto itself. Thanks!
"Caddyshack" was always popular among golfers & many college students liked it, when it came out, but it was a little ahead of it's time. As golf became more popular in the 1980's & 1990's, more people were able to get the golf references, situations, lingo, etc, it got rrallt popular. You mentioned home video. Cable TV probably helped too. The movie critics were a bunch of snobs back then, for the most part!
Same thing with Animal House and others. Long after the critics are forgotten those movies live on and entertain new generations. Critics were mostly pretentious snobs back then that were only in to "film" and European directors. Movies that the majority of people loved were beneath them. Funny, I can't remember the name of a single critic, but I've watched Caddy Shack at least 10 times.
The old man golfing in the rain during the music of the ten commandments- Henry Wilcox - the man was Cecil b DeMille number 1 for all of his major productions - the ten commandments etc.
"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!" Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Lois Kibbee. Location Location Fact: The producers chose Florida as the filming location over Los Angeles to keep studio executives from interfering. Super Fan Fact: Tiger Woods so adores this movie that he played Carl Spackler in an American Express commercial that included references to many of the movie's most famous scenes. No Respect Fact: Rodney Dangerfield was new to acting at the time and had trouble following along. Due to his background working with comedians, Harold Ramis was able to assist him throughout filming. Cinderella Story Fact: Bill Murray improvised the "Cinderella Story" sequence from two lines of stage direction. Director Harold Ramis simply asked Murray to imagine himself announcing his own fantasy sports moment. Murray simply asked for four rows of chrysanthemums and did the scene. Rat Farts Fact: When the Bishop, played by veteran actor Henry Wilcoxon, is having his best round of golf ever during a thunderstorm, he misses an easy putt, looks skyward and yells "Rat Farts!" and is immediately struck down by a bolt of lightning. The background music in this scene was from Cecil B. DeMille's classic The Ten Commandments (1956), in which Wilcoxon played the part of Pentaur. When Worlds Collide Fact: The memorable scene that begins when Ty Webb's golf ball crashes through the window into Carl Spackler's ramshackle abode was not in the original script. It was added by director Harold Ramis after realizing that two of his biggest stars, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray (who did not get along due to a feud dating back to their Saturday Night Live (1975) days), did not have a scene together. The three met for lunch and wrote the scene together. Although it has nothing to do with the plot, it is widely regarded as one of the funniest scenes in the movie. This is the only time that Chase and Murray have appeared in the same scene together.
Carl: "You got pool out back?" Ty: "yeah. A pool. . . AND a pond! The pond would be good for you. . ." Carl: "Yeah. Pool. . . Pond. . . Whatever. . ." (totally missing the implication. . .) Always liked this exchange. . . Guessing this was all ad-libbed for the most part as well! ;)
Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) is my favorite character in this movie. The goofball groundskeeper chasing the gopher ends up being the unsung hero brining the multiple plots together into one unified story by blowing up the golf course. 😂
Dangerfield was a maniac during filming, half those lines were ad-libs and he was so funny that they had to reshoot multiple scenes because the rest of the cast and crew were busted up. That of course made Ted Knight The Judge absolutely insane.
"Be the ball", among other quotes, have been part of friendly golf games for decades now 😅 Ted Knigjht, who played the judge, was pretty well known at the time, as he had a big role as the snobby news anchor on The Mary Tyler Moore show. He basically recreated that character to play the judge.
I used to have a dancing gopher from the movie so I'm sure stuffed ones were a thing. The guy in charge of the caddies is Bill Murray's brother, he's in a ton of movies.

Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight apparently never got along off camera or on camera. so the anger between them was sort of real lmao.
Also Bill Murray and Chevy Chase did not get a long. They only had one scene together.
I think that was mostly due to Rodney's unprofessionalism.
Ted Knight is not too far from the characters he often plays. He's kind of a hyped version of Shatner with a little more self-awareness.

They originally wanted a real gopher for the movie but they were shown a puppet would be better and they went with it. Harold Ramis got the idea of the gopher after watching a Mickey Mouse short called “Canine Caddy” where Mickey is golfing and Pluto is going after a gopher on the course. Bill Murray improvised a lot of his stuff. His character was originally supposed to be a Groucho Marx type character but after Bill was cast Harold Ramis encouraged him to improvise his lines. This is Harold Ramis’s directorial debut. Bill scared the one kid when he had the pitchfork at his throat cause the pitchfork was real. 6:16 that’s Bill Murray’s brother Brian Doyle Murray. He’s also a cowriter of this movie. A lot of this movie is from experience that Brian & Bill along with Harold Ramis worked as Caddy’s as kids. The Baby Ruth pool scene happened at Brian’s high school. This was Ted Knight (Judge Smails) final film before he died. 16:53 the reason people put excessive sunscreen on their noses was if they wore glasses the lens would intensify the sun on your nose. I didn’t do that when I went to an open house on an Air Force base and my nose got extremely toasted (more roasted). 18:55 he didn’t have any left to offer her so he made do with what he had. 21:41 Harold Ramis being a new director was really good with Cindy Morgan (Judge Smails Niece). She was uncomfortable with the topless and sex scene so he ordered a closed set. One of the producers scheduled a playboy shoot for her and Harold canceled it when he saw she was not comfortable with it. 25:40 notice the Pastor who got struck by lightning in the background? 26:32 the final number the settle on at the end of the movie (80,000 a piece doubled on Danny’s final putt) come out to around $304,000 in 2024.
The caddy master you mentioned is Bill Murray's brother, Brian Doyle Murray. He w-as also in Groundhog Day with Bill.
I remember watching this over and over when i was a kid.
Anytime Rodney Dangerfield was on screen I was glued to the tv. Loved that guy!
Another good Dangerfield movie is Back to School featuring Robert Downey Jr in one of his earliest roles
Our dad recommended that! Thanks!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment it's also got Pauly from the Rocky movies
I’m here for a Back to School reaction!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Was "Easy Money" recommended?
Back to school was genius, I was just admiring your wife's Klimt, springs yo mind!
The "behind the scenes" shenanigans that went on during the filming of this are legendary. So much of it was ad-libbed as well. This was actually the first rated R movie I ever saw, as it came out when I was 15. Needless to say, I was very much impressed with Cindy Morgan! ;)
One of the absolute GREATEST comedies of ALL time!! 😆😂🤣
This movie was one long laugh in the theater when it came out. Bill Murray was under contract for just a few days and all of his bits were improvised.( notice he does not interact with the cast except…) The studio executives watched the dailies and asked how come Chevy Chase( the biggest star at the time) and Bill Murray , the hot young comic from SNL, don’t have a scene together. So on Murray’s last day he was to be there, the scene in the greens shed was filmed with no script. At the time this was a crowd pleaser and one giant laugh. The wine used I think is Alamand, which was the cheapest jug wine and bought by Winos and cheap college kids in America. After this, just watching Rodney on The Tonight Show was a moment not to miss.
I was just @ a hotel/golf resort in Florida, and on the property there's a Caddyshack themed restaurant owned by Bill Murray! They sell golf club covers that look like the gopher!
I saw a show about the making of Caddyshack which is tremendous! So many funny stories!
Ted Knight doesn’t get recognized for his humor as much as he should because he plays such a pretentious putz.
He cracks me up in this. When he slices the ball and yells “damn!” It’s just one word, delivered to comic perfection
Even without a word Ted is hilarious. The noises he makes while chasing Danny are classic. "Oooh!"
Ted Knight absolutely MADE this movie. Everyone did great, but Ted really shines in my opinion.
I don't know, he always seemed to play a similar role.
He was very funny in this!
Now adays most people knows him as the "well, we're waiting" meme.
He was just perfect for playing the pretentious snob.
I first saw this on a video and the music got me and my first introduction to Rodney Dangerfield. And Natalie you said it perfectly. He's the bane of this guy's existence.. Such a great movie with great memories and now I can't get that song out of my head. I'm Alright. And that's not a bad thing..Cheers Gorgeous Ladies.xx
The unedited documentary about the making of "Caddyshack" is pure gold. Almost everyone of the cast and crew were getting stoned and using Coke.
Ted Knight was the only real actor. The others were comedians who partied hard.
I don't know if they sold the goffers at the time, but I found one in a store like 20 years later. It was battery-powered, and it did a little dance to the theme song from the movie. Gave it to my then brother-in-law's niece for Christmas. She seemed to like it.
"That guy" is Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray's older brother. The two were in several films together, and Doyle-Murray had many appearances on his own, of course.
Great movie reaction ladies! This is one on my Mt Rushmore of comedies. I played golf in several tournaments while in the Navy. I could quote Bill Murray's "Cinderella Boy" monolog word for word. The first hole I would always bring it out. 😂. I can't remember if stuffed gophers were big but there was a line of gopher hand puppets after this movie.
Kenny Loggins said they still sell hand puppets of the gopher at concerts.
Most of the lines frim Murray and Dangerfield were ad-libbed. Rodney’s script said, “do your act here”
This was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie. When the director said action to him, he had no idea what he was talking about, instead he came up with, Rodney do your thing
Yeah as a Stand Up Comedian he was used to people laughing and applauding. So without it he thought he was bombing.
Watching this brought back fun memories of the crazy times at Indian Hills. Graduated from St Joe's where Bill's (who was a year older than me) sister Laura was in my class. The caddy master's name was Lou and he always had a racing form by his phone, from which he called his bookie. If a gumball machine had broken none of us would have paid any attention-too busy paying poker. Never looped with Bill, however did play poker with him.
Oh cool!
23:15: The Bishop playing golf as Moses in the Ten Commandments. Figured the Reverend herself would have picked up on that one :)
With so many stand out performances by this ensemble of actors this film ranks as one of the top ten funny movies of all time! Ted Knight,Chevy Chase,Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray are absolutely perfect! Its worthy to note that the Bishop was played by a movie star from the 30's named Henry Wilcoxon and the Caddyshack operator was played by Brian Doyle Murray, Bill's brother.
I grew up on this and I knew all the lines. Every time I went golfing I would say,” da da da “like Chevy Chase. And my putter was called Billy!
And say “Noonan” when someone was putting
6:21 That is Brian Doyle Murray, brother to Bill.
"That guy" is Brian Doyle Murray, Bill's brother. He was in Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters II, Wayne's World, Sixteen Candles, and SNL, among others.
24:27 The joke of the line by a "pregnant" Maggie is that she says, "Thanks for nothing!" However, in her thick Irish accent it sounds like "Thanks for NUTTIN!" and I guess we know what that means.
The actress that played Maggie was actually in "National Lampoon's Animal House"
It's actually "TANKS for NUTTIN!!!" I still use "Tanks" whenever my buds get patronizing with me. . . We were all 15 when this movie came out. ;)
Great comedy! One of my favorites! I enjoyed the reaction! 😊
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
Many "prestigious" golf courses/country clubs still have caddies. It's more traditional, I guess. Plus, the caddies don't just carry your clubs. They have lots of accumulated knowledge about how to the play the course, the break of the greens, etc., which they share with whomever they're paired with.
Oh yeah, and the manager of the caddy shack is played by Bill Murray's older brother, Brian-Doyle Murray, although I'm sure someone's already mentioned that here.
Bill Murray eating the Baby Ruth candy bar in the pool always makes me wish I were a voting member of the Academy Awards
I got meet the late Cindy Morgan (Lacie Underall) around 2010 and talk to her for a while. Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield's lines were adlibbed.
The 'Gopher dance'! Think Natalie has a new dance to learn ! 😂 This one was an Eighties classic, glad you ladies decided to react to it!
😂👏
Let put it this way, i was in high school when Star Wars came out, and listening to people who claimed to see it over 100 times. When this came out in 1980, i love this movie so much it was crazy, I watched it almost every time it came on showtime, I guessed at one point I have seen this over 130 time, that is a generous estimate. I own the DVD and still watch it from time to time!!
I also love that gopher as well!
I’ve always loved this film. I’m very happy you ladies got to fully experience it
I'm SO glad I got to see you gals react to this. It is a great comedy, and I thought you would really like it. I'm happy to have seen you laugh so much. And yes, the gopher is iconic!!!!
Thanks for watching! I found and ordered myself a gopher!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment awesome!!! 😎
This is one of the most quoted movies.
About five years ago, I went to a Goodwill and I saw the gopher on the counter, but I was a little too late. A person bought it, and it was electronic. It would dance with the music from the soundtrack.
I bought one! It now sits behind us!
They had the gopher as a plush a out 20 years ago for the then 20th anniversary of caddyshack.Rodney is my favorite in the movie
"That guy" in charge of the caddies is Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray's older brother. Golf carts were out back in the 1930s ! Funniest line; "Hey, you wanna make $14 - the hard way?".
He player the mayor and keeper of the groundhog in Groundhog Day. Also played Jack Ruby in JFK
I saw this in the theaters back in the day. (I think I was 13 or 14 years old.) I don't remember any gopher marketing, but keep in mind: this was an R-rated adult film, and cute gophers being merchandised would have sent the message that this was a kid's movie. Not on-message, in other words. Can you imagine a Happy Meal tie-in where you get a toy gopher with your purchase?! Such an idea would have led to some adults staying away, and other adults (parents) being shocked - shocked! - at what they took their kids to go see. Fun fact: John Dykstra was the special effects guy in charge of lightning, stormy skies, and (of course) the gopher. Dykstra's previous films included "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and a little ol' movie called "Star Wars." No wonder that gopher is so awesome!
Great reaction ladies to a Harold Ramis classic so many talents in it
Thank you! Yes!
Great review. Brought back a lot of memories. I think my favorite Bill Murray movie is still Groundhog Day followed by the original Ghostbusters but this one’s definitely a classic as well. Just watched one of my favorite comedies from the 90s, Encino Man. If you guys haven’t seen that one, would love to see your review of it as well
Thanks!
Caddyshack was released on July 25, 1980, in 656 theaters, and grossed $3.1 million during its opening weekend; it went on to make $39,846,344 in North America, and $60 million worldwide. Cost about $6 million to make!
Another great ensemble comedy was "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". Tons of old comedy stars in a fun wild chase movie. 👍
Bill murrray at the end before blowing the fuse singing under his breath (idk what creed/slogan) saying the military thing is low key one of the funniest moments of this to me- he’s just fully in on axing that gofer
The guy that runs the caddy shack and has been in a ton of movies is Bill Murray's brother.
The judge didn't want Danny to say anything about his neice and if kept quite he'd give him the scholarship !
Hey its the gopher that play in Acolyte ep4! LOL
I love Caddyshack, it's my favorite movie. My dad and I can quote pretty much the entire thing, much to my mother's chagrin lol.
new sub, thanks to this video I'm going to watch it again, treasure, hidden gem, underrated, lol, thanks.
Thanks for the sub!
If you went to college in the 80's, you knew every line to this movie and quoted it daily ( and many still do...).
Beautiful, beautiful reaction. Thank you, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
The actress who played Maggie, also played the Mayor's daughter in "Animal House".
Haven’t seen it!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment it's an absolute MUST!! One of the antagonists in the movie, went on to play almost the exact same character in two Twisted Sister music videos.
As others have mentioned, this was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie, and he knew literally nothing about making movies. He found success quite late in life, and was primarily a stand-up comedian. He was so used to getting instant laughs from the live audience when he was funny that when making the movie, he was constantly depressed and was convinced that he was TERRIBLE, since none of the people around him (the CREW!) were laughing at his jokes. The director had to explain to him that the crew wasn't ALLOWED to laugh, and they were dying inside trying desperately not to laugh, but that Rodney WAS funny and WAS doing a great job. Still, Rodney remained depressed about everything until the premiere, when he got raucous laughter at his jokes. Only then did he accept that his performance was good. Most of his lines were ad-libbed, so that's 100% Rodney just "doing his thing."
Oh, and that wasn't "dynamite", it was "C-4 plastic explosive" - or at least, grey modeling clay that they passed off as C-4. Dynamite is generally in a stick that looks like a road flare.
"That guy", the caddy manager, is actually Bill Murray's brother. Also appears in Vacation, Groundhog Day, Wayne's World and many more.
I'm 43 now, and I appreciate this movie so much more now than I did when I was younger 🤣🤣👍 absolute classic, can't make em like this anymore 🤣🤣
I watched this movie so many times when it first aired on HBO about a year after its theatrical release in 1980. I would have been 13 then. Very quotable movie that my oldest friends can say a line and you can easily follow it up. It is in my top 5 of favorite comedies of all time.
Definitely check out BACK TO SCHOOL, ladies! Rodney Dangerfield excels in that one! 😂 Hilarious!! 😂😂😂😂
Ted Knight (Judge Smails) was the great Ted Baxter on the The Mary Tyler Moore Show 1970-1977
This movie was absolutely SAVAGED by the majority of critics upon its release. It was deemed sophomoric and dumb and it coined the phrase “slob humor” which seemed fitting at the time but the film really found its audience on home video a few years later. It has endeared itself to everyone who was around then or saw it at an early age. It’s worth noting that the documentary made about this film’s production is worth watching. It is a story unto itself. Thanks!
"Caddyshack" was always popular among golfers & many college students liked it, when it came out, but it was a little ahead of it's time. As golf became more popular in the 1980's & 1990's, more people were able to get the golf references, situations, lingo, etc, it got rrallt popular. You mentioned home video. Cable TV probably helped too.
The movie critics were a bunch of snobs back then, for the most part!
Same thing with Animal House and others. Long after the critics are forgotten those movies live on and entertain new generations. Critics were mostly pretentious snobs back then that were only in to "film" and European directors. Movies that the majority of people loved were beneath them. Funny, I can't remember the name of a single critic, but I've watched Caddy Shack at least 10 times.
The old man golfing in the rain during the music of the ten commandments- Henry Wilcox - the man was Cecil b DeMille number 1 for all of his major productions - the ten commandments etc.
"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!"
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Lois Kibbee.
Location Location Fact: The producers chose Florida as the filming location over Los Angeles to keep studio executives from interfering.
Super Fan Fact: Tiger Woods so adores this movie that he played Carl Spackler in an American Express commercial that included references to many of the movie's most famous scenes.
No Respect Fact: Rodney Dangerfield was new to acting at the time and had trouble following along. Due to his background working with comedians, Harold Ramis was able to assist him throughout filming.
Cinderella Story Fact: Bill Murray improvised the "Cinderella Story" sequence from two lines of stage direction. Director Harold Ramis simply asked Murray to imagine himself announcing his own fantasy sports moment. Murray simply asked for four rows of chrysanthemums and did the scene.
Rat Farts Fact: When the Bishop, played by veteran actor Henry Wilcoxon, is having his best round of golf ever during a thunderstorm, he misses an easy putt, looks skyward and yells "Rat Farts!" and is immediately struck down by a bolt of lightning. The background music in this scene was from Cecil B. DeMille's classic The Ten Commandments (1956), in which Wilcoxon played the part of Pentaur.
When Worlds Collide Fact: The memorable scene that begins when Ty Webb's golf ball crashes through the window into Carl Spackler's ramshackle abode was not in the original script. It was added by director Harold Ramis after realizing that two of his biggest stars, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray (who did not get along due to a feud dating back to their Saturday Night Live (1975) days), did not have a scene together. The three met for lunch and wrote the scene together. Although it has nothing to do with the plot, it is widely regarded as one of the funniest scenes in the movie. This is the only time that Chase and Murray have appeared in the same scene together.
Thanks wikipedia
Carl: "You got pool out back?"
Ty: "yeah. A pool. . . AND a pond! The pond would be good for you. . ."
Carl: "Yeah. Pool. . . Pond. . . Whatever. . ." (totally missing the implication. . .)
Always liked this exchange. . . Guessing this was all ad-libbed for the most part as well! ;)
There is a golf course in the Detroit area (Northville) named Bushwood that sells stuff that commemorates Caddy Shack!
I worked at a golf course fora little while and the golf pros favorite movies were Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore.
Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) is my favorite character in this movie. The goofball groundskeeper chasing the gopher ends up being the unsung hero brining the multiple plots together into one unified story by blowing up the golf course. 😂
Dangerfield was a maniac during filming, half those lines were ad-libs and he was so funny that they had to reshoot multiple scenes because the rest of the cast and crew were busted up. That of course made Ted Knight The Judge absolutely insane.
The other half of his lines, he snorted
Ted Knight was the guard at the door at the end of the movie Psycho.
Bill Murray movie to watch
1.Meatballs 1 2.Stripes 3.What About Bob 4.The Man Who Knew Too Little
I'd add Groundhog Day
Ghostbusters, Zombieland, Broken Flowers, Lost in Translation, Kingpin, Tootsie…. And for Xmas, Scrooged
@@corralescoyote i didnt mention any of these because i am sure they've seen these
@@gregkirby9059 I’m sorry. I wan’t up to speed on what they’ve seen. I’ll keep my comments to myself from now on. Thank you.
Quick Change. To me, a very underrated gem.
"Be the ball", among other quotes, have been part of friendly golf games for decades now 😅
Ted Knigjht, who played the judge, was pretty well known at the time, as he had a big role as the snobby news anchor on The Mary Tyler Moore show. He basically recreated that character to play the judge.
I used to have a dancing gopher from the movie so I'm sure stuffed ones were a thing. The guy in charge of the caddies is Bill Murray's brother, he's in a ton of movies.
