He was a great Popeye. I feel like that movie was unfairly maligned. I love it.
It's a great movie. It just came out at the wrong time and was WAY over budget. A lot of behind the scenes problems didn't help, including Williams' coke problem.
Old School Radical Gamer Dude Actually it did pretty well at the box office. 60 million on a 20 million dollar budget plus probably way more than that in later home movie sales, but the original budget probably was 10 million or so.

sure thing millennial ...ACTUALLY it’s huge bomb lol....20 million in 1980 was a ton of money for a movie and barely 60 million worldwide ...when u factor in advertising and merchandising...and you know that the legendary Robert Altman was basically blacklisted for almost 15 years because of it ....also...it barely Would have made a dent in the home video market ....video stores weren’t even a real thing for about another 5 years later ...peeps had moved on...
Ps- love this movie ..first one I saw in the theatre 👍
Old School Radical Gamer Dude
Not just Williams but the entire production!! Apparently it was a crazy free for all and the behest of Altman !!! On Disney’s dime !!
I feel like an entertaining and exposing doc would be appropriate soon👍👍
One of the few musical movies i love,watched it earlier today.
One of the best actors there was, I grew up watching his movies and we all miss him. May his soul Rest In Peace
Robin knows what 1930s Popeye was capable off, especially the snarky mutterings!
I recalled having watched some original old Popeye in my late teens and coming to the same awareness of how they were slipping some real raunchy stuff in via Popeye's muttering double entendre. It was a humorous eye opener at how they were giving adults something at which to laugh without the kiddies knowing anything about it.
The man was so spontaneously witty. I read that in his earlier stand-ups he would just get up on stage and start shooting from the hip. No topic cards, nothing. Simply amazing.
He was a real comic. He had a quick wit about him and the ability to do an almost instant improv that I don't see in a lot of comedians
He left us too early. Miss you Robin. 💯💯💯
R.i.p Robin Williams
Best comedian and actor
I love how Dick Cavett knows how to improvise with his guests
He’s will always be Popeye in our hearts.
The worst role he ever played?
Robin williams as popeye
@@mikemorgan2211 i Loved it i Love popeye and Robin williams my fav actor may he Rest in Peace
🥲
Mork from Ork.
He was sucha national treasure!! Miss him all the time whenever I see old clips of him🥹🥹
R.I.P. Robin Williams He did a really good Popeye impression when he played Popeye Bud things will not be the same without Robin not ever
Robin was my hero growing up when he did Popeye. I was a huge fan of the cartoon, the movie, I had the Popeye album, a game and lunchbox. RIP Robin and thanks for being a part of my childhood.
Maybe it's just me but when he makes the comment that getting to know the real him is like opening pandora's box and then exclaiming "no pandora, dont open the box!" Sent chills down my spine, because I realized from that comment that even then, in the prime of his life, Robin was depressed.... sad how true the old statement is, "hindsight is 20/20."
Good point (sadly).
I don't think it's just you. Human behavior intrigues a lot of us and that really is chilling. Even more so are the millions of people who blindly listen to their doctors, not realizing that they're pouring chemical soup on their brains without fully understanding them. Many if not all of those antidepressants increase the risk of suicide and other violent acts. That's scary.
Everything you just said is completely wrong. And he didnt even say that in the interview you made most of that up
He didn't die of depression
@@this_data_is_expunged Okay plague rat 🙄
I thought he was perfectly cast as Popeye, even got the little mutterings Jack Mercer always slipped in. Not his fault Robert Altman was the last person who should have directed the film....
In the 1940s when the voice actor who did Popeye in the Fleischer cartoons was in the army, Mae Questel who was the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl also did the voice of Popeye.
She also voiced Little Audrey...very talented lady like June Foray and Jean Vander Pyl...Lord rest them
Has any of that information ever helped you in life?
@@mikemorgan2211get that stick out your ass asap.
He said in an interview...he did Popeye for his mother...
I miss robin Williams. He was the best actor ever.
Yes, him and Jim Carrey are the best
Popeye and Olive in heaven together now. How time goes. ❤❤
Robin Williams was a comedy treasure..😊
We miss Robin so much. ❤️
Freaking love Popeye talking under his breath. Rip Robin, best comedian ever.
Rip Mr. Robin Williams
Such theatre dorks lol love it
You sir are greatly missed.
I've watched that movie since I was a kid and still watch it today. .. dam good memories of 1980
0:42 Actually, it was Billy Costello
I love this guy
damn I wish we still had talk shows like this. Feel like im in the wrong century.
Damn I forget that this is close to 50 years old. And I'm not far from 50 myself
I think graham norton does a pretty good job.
One my favorite of all time miss him
Defo on drugs in this interview.
Won't ever stop loving and admiring this man. RW No.1 from the beginning and the end for me!
Robin was a treasure
I put popeye on for my grandad and he seemed so happy
The old cartoons were done by Max Fleischer in the late 1930s. The very first one was a guest appearance on a Betty Boop short, where she was dancing topless except for a lei.
A meeting of two great minds
*Genie...of...the....Lamp!*
Rest in peace legend 😢
he was amazing as that character and he made it so believable and i never understood why it was panned 🤔 such great acting, music and cinematography. i love 'popeye'.
Legendary actor...😢
God I miss him

It was Max Fleischer studios that did both Popeye and Betty Boop.
Robin Williams 😍a gem we lost. Every roll he portrayed. He performed to 1000%. But critics who never acted, can never act or portray or have never been casted are judges to judge a man who gives everything. I suggest everyone don't go for reviews they are bullshit. Watch and judge for yourself
From an Alien and the Sailor Man to a Genie and Lovelace.
A sadly missed genius.
Allah rahmet eylesin , ne adamdı
He did a great Popeye
Jack Mercer (Worthington, Indiana, 13 de enero de 1910 - Nueva York, 4 de diciembre de 1984) fue un animador y actor de voz estadounidense. Es conocido por hacer la voz de Popeye.
Im strong to the finish cos i eats my spinach I Popeye the sailor man 😃
So young
Was he in his 20’s?
This movie is awesome lots of allegory and cool bits. Love the taxman stuff.
Disney's Popeye (1980) with Robin Williams film version
This man is crazy
If Popeye made it into "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", Williams should have been the voice.
Was he doing a father ted voice?
I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other Dick Cavett interviews
I love you mork I love u first moment I saw you
It's sad Robin Williams is not here to watch his movies or perform comedy or act 😭😭😭

have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where Dick Cavett interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? People want to see them.
How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare.
It’s hard to tell if he was being rude or complimenting him when he said “your being the real you” but a few times 😅

🍀boop boop be doop
Nobody remembers Fleischer studios :/
I do
I think someone owes me an apology.
It was the directors fault for changing the sound track then the music didn’t match the movie.
He was one guy that could get away with do you know who I am
Coked up
Too bad he's not here to watch his movies and performance
He was shapeshifting. Even the host was signaling that his eye and hair needed fixing and the camera man moving to the back of the head of Robin William's so you dont see his face.
The only talented man in Hollywood
The only one? That's a bit of a stretch, don't ya think? BTW, he resided in San Francisco, but obviously films are made in Hollywood, so I get what you mean.
Why does Robin Williams sound British?
Carrie Fisher revealed in an interview years ago that actors were trained to speak proper English in a British accent. It's the reason Princess Leia sounds like she's from the UK during her dialog with Vader after she is captured and taken prison onboard the Death Star in 'A New Hope'.
He’s the perfect guy to play Popeyes. He looks exactly like Popeyes and the comedic chop too
Popeye voice shoban
I didnt like Robin Williams comedy style. I thought he was a much better actor than his comedy. I know there a lot of people who think he was a comedic genius. I just thought his antics were boring.
And why did you feel the need to tell us?
@@Finians_Mancave I dont waste my time answering dumb questions.
@@devolutionist9008
Lol, ironic sarcasm. Love it. 😉
I f only they had more time
Popey cartoons were good, but the movie was a musical. Not good.
Robin was so coked out here.
ADHD. ❤️
@@echase416 probably both
But, this is exactly how he always behaved, his entire life. So, was he always coked out?
I don't now why did he kill is self🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
Williams had been suffering from depression and anxiety .An examination of his brain tissue suggested Williams suffered from diffuse Lewy body dementia.
Can't understand it
Drug taker.
Robin was 28 here. He looks older those ppl in the past the way they dress the way tv looks they look older
Long time communist
Movie was terrible
So boring
, as is your comment.
and u are too asshole
What a supernova of a man.
