- The Great Race (1965) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheGreatRace
Dastardly, black-garbed Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon) dares the world's greatest hero, The Great Leslie (Tony Curtis), to a cross-continental road race across the Wild West, through frozen Alaska and into the Kingdom of Carpania. Fate sets a series of nefarious traps for Leslie, but neither plans on the indefatigable suffragette Maggie DuBois--the object of both Leslie's and Fate's affection--to enter the race, determined to strike a blow for feminism. Blake Edwards directs THE seminal steampunk cross-country race comedy.
Directed By Blake Edwards
Starring Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon

“Hey professor!!!” Pie count goes up ten immediately. 😂😂
Hahahha to this day max is my favorite character
1:58 Max: Hey Professor!🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧
Colombo just got pied in the face
I can not watch this scene enough, I remember seeing for the first time as a kid. When Peter Falk walks in and they just pelt him is priceless. This scene will never be repeated.
I thought for sure his ass was going to get knocked over.
My dad took me to see this movie when it came out.😂
I can only imagine how a scene like this would cost in modern day money which would be in the seven figures at the least
World War Cake
It should be repeated annually let’s go
3:00 Peter Falk absolutely rocked Jack Lemmon with that point blank pie to the face 😂😂😂
RebornRockerVids lmfao
which is so funny since thats after jacks comment on it feeling like a ton of cement 🥴😂
The funniest thing about this scene is how Tony Curtis doesn’t get one drop of pie filling on him until the very end. Imagine how many shower drains were clogged after the cast and crew had to shower to get all that off themselves. LOL.
And the poor people that had to clean up that mess!! And wash the wardrobe!!
@@KSNEATH and the budget. Warner Brothers almost pulled the plug on Blake Edwards because of this scene.
Are your serious
Not only did Miss Dubois accidently hit Leslie in the face with the pie, her horrified reaction was perfect!
My ten year old son and I are in hysterics when we watch this. Especially when Peter Falk cops it. ‘Hey Professor!!’ Absolutely hilarious.
1:58 Max: Hey Professor!!!! Splash!!!!🥧
Love seeing Natalie Wood in this. Her reactions are priceless.
Not to mention that she is in the pie fight, as naked as the Production Code would have allowed then.
Since Black Edwards made sure to dedicate this film to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, the fact that the pie fight is included because of the epic pie fight in Laurel and Hardy's "Battle of the Century" (1927).
THROW MORE BRANDY!
It’s visually impressive how they pulled this scene off within filming for 5 days and using 400 pies for the cast to throw at each other. Such a amazing,hilarious sequence.
Jack Lemmon was so great in this. Loved him in both roles
Jack Lemmon shouldve been nominated for Best Actor.
@@robertwiegman1 Absolutely....you are so right Robert!
I love his voice when he says "Push the button Max"
That would have been totally ironic if we were hit by lemon pies
In this film, Jack Lemmon allowed to go crazy and let loose
What amazes me is this: since it took five days to shoot the scene, every day when the actors came back the pie damage had to be matched onto them from the previous day of shooting.
Don't forget the splatters on the walls!
Blake Edwards, Henry Mancini, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon...early 60s were still the Golden Age of Hollywood.
The fact that Curtis was clean the entire fight is just amazing.
Yes, and notice when he finally got hit with that one pie, IT WAS ALL WHITE!
2:53 But finally The Great Leslie got hit the 🥧
Brought me back to when I was 12 years old. You can’t just watch enough of this scene. Brilliant 😂😂😂 Thanks for posting! 👍🏻
"HEY PROFESSOR!!"
Cool
This is still one the best comedies I have ever watched. The entire film is funny as heck, with wonderful characters and sometimes a very "Loony Tunes" absurdity for extra laughs. I cannot recommend this film enough.
Peter Falk was the best part of this pie fight .laughing so much when I so it in the cinema and always makes me laugh now. The crew must have been laughing after that shot.
"Professor!!!!!" Then he gets hit with 10 pies.
They use to play this movie every year... It never gets old...
Probably everyone in this scene is in comedy heaven now.
Larry Storch (Texas Jack), is the last surviving cast member of this wonderful film. He was preceded by Marvin Kaplan (Frisbee), in 2016. The rest of the cast and crew has passed on. Watching this movie is a family tradition, that has been passed on from generation to generation, in our family.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. I was a kid when it came out and I laughed do hard at this pie fight. Watching it over the years as an adult, I love it even more. Sadly all of the stars of this film are no longer living. They were such movie stars.
Would love to see a remake today
@@cso718 Me too!
@@cso718 They'd probably mess it up tho 😕
Then let’s do it ourselves
2:25 I love how the General is so heavily decorated but all he really is, is a "Tucker Inner"! 🤣🤣
What's a tucker-inner?
So many great scenes in this movie, but this may well be the greatest.
Man I bet the cleaning crew must have not been happy to clean up all of this
they probably got a fire hose it would have made things easier!
"Hey Professor!"....lol
Watching this movie since the past forty years and get never tired of it. And will continue to watch as long as i can. It gives me immense pleasure. I salute the film makers, particularly the director for making such a movie.
I have to admit honestly I would actually want to be there
Me too
If Curly Howard was there he'd say his trademark nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! Lol. Good old Curly.
I love this scene! Absolutely hilarious!😂🤣👍
This might be my favorite film scene ever!!! Laughed so hard
Happy 100th birthday Blake Edwards. This is his best film and I remember seeing the pie fight when I was 4.
Was Moe , Larry, Curley, and Shemp there too throwin, pies! Too funny!
Oh Come on..Lisa..Curly and Shemp Howard were dead..by the time that this film went into production and "The Three Stooges":Moe Howard,Larry Fine and "Curly Joe"De Rita had already completed work on their last feature film:"The Outlaws Is Coming"in the spring of 1964 and it was released at the start of 1965.
1:57............."Hey Professor"....
This is the greatest film and the best scene from it.
Poor Natalie Wood..she must have been a real mess..by the time that Blake finished filming this pie fight sequence.
Kevin Butler - especially since she was the only girl in the scene. Plus her being exceptionally tiny those shots must have felt painful. Even the male cast members twice her size says the pies hurt.
I doubt that those pies were filled with Brandy and Rum fillings.
My favourite film of all time.Yes "Airplane" is the funniest however Jack Lemmon is superb and Peter Falk outstanding.❤
This is GLORIOUS!!
Such a great movie!
This is one of the greatest movies ever especially the fact that it was a Tony Curtis Jack lemmon movies as well Natalie woods performance was the spectacular as well it had to be a multimillion-dollar movie
First saw this movie in the cinema(I think). Pie scene ultimately looked a Mr Hart creation. Brilliant.
Classic movie my 7 year daughter loved this scene
Great film throughout but my favorite is the Great Pie Fight I actually want it shown in my funeral to give everyone a laugh. Those who were involved in the filming must had fun.
Absolutely the funniest piece of film in history.
The three stooges had the best fight ever
Fantastic!
YOU'RE BANISHED! I'M GETTING! A NEW! TUCKER! INNER! BANISHED! BANISHED! BANISHED!
RIP Jack Lemmon
Excellent!
Love this movie..
Shooting the pie fight may have been difficult, but I would've loved to have been there LOL.
Well that escalated quickly...! 😝😂🥧
😂😂🤣 I remember this was the only thing I waited to see through the whole movie. I grew up watching this, and during the intermission part, we'd pop more corn, get other snacks, and then I'd watch and wait to see the pie scene. One of my favorite scenes of mine. So glad I came across the pie count, hahaha! 5 shooting days and real pies, imagine for 5 whole days you just threw pies at each other. How could throwing pies at someone not be fun?
I would have thought all 4000 would have been used and only took 1 take for all this.
Well let's be fair and think on it.
Throwing pies all 5 days wouldn't be done every second because of filming so at least your arms could recover during breaks, but as for taking the hits to the face that is the problem.
Jack Lemmon has described it as taking a ton of cement to the face, although I assume he's exaggerating, having something hit the whole front of your face, that can get in your eyes, nose and down your throat, several times + re-takes, over 5 days... it would hurt. They're not throwing pillows though they're not throwing bricks either, but really anything too much more than a pillow would hurt.
It is spectacular...no CGI cheating here.
I peed myself laughing 😂😂soooo funny. I really did need a good laugh 😂 thanks heaps from Australia 🇦🇺
I don’t care, I don’t care! You’re banished! I’m getting a new...tucker..inner....banished, banished, banished!!!♥️
If you look closely around this time of the scene, you can spot Lemmon's double in the purple clothes that Fate should be wearing!
And I bet he's ad-libbing that...
THAT was the best part of this scene...I always LOVE when the bad guy gets his/her comeuppance!
Once of my favorite movies I even did a Top 10 on it
Very good 🥧 throwing count. Ian. See ya soon Mr Edwards. Texas born Albertan breed.
What’s so sad you’re not able to find old movies like this because either Ted Turner, bought them 1:35 or MGM. I used to remember on Sunday going to the local channel and they would play these movies. I’m missing these old movies because today’s movies are too political to even watch or spend money on.
There's more pie fights here than a certain Three Stooges short.
That's a new record
Good CLEAN fun!
This is something that will only ever happen in the fantasy world
Which in 2020 is what we're living in. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Imagine being the cleaning crew assigned to clean up this mess lol.
The music during the pie fight reminds me of the crocodile song from Peter Pan.
You know, Ross Martin's character in this movie was Baron von Stuppe. I wonder if this was the inspiration for the name of Madeline Kahn's character in Blazing Saddles.
Laurel and Hardy, Battle of the Century, has a massive hilarious pie fight.
I'd love to see this in reverse!
Me too
I always think a pie fight is done with good timing hence when Natalie ducked & it hit someone else.
1:59 so funny
0:07-0:20-0:26-0:28-0:35-0:36-0:37-0:38-0:39-0:48-0:52-0:54-0:55-0:56-0:58-1:00-1:15-1:33-1:39-1:58-1:59-2:00-2:15-2:21-3:03-3:04-3:05-3:06-3:07-3:08 my favorite parts
Natalie Wood was stunning in or out of pie! Even as a young boy I knew that.
Natalie Wood never looked hotter.
The hottest girl to ever be so covered in pies
Would still do this today
Questi è brandy!
I wonder what filling was used for that celebration cake that Jack Lemmon and his stunt double fell into?
I always thought it looked like sawdust!
@@davemcglynn I think it was apprantly someone on YT actually said a relative of theirs did the cake &I think it was made of sawdust
This is what partly inspired my website, but with mostly women making a mess themselves.
Aaah! Natalie Wood!
In lingerie, covered with pie. yum.
I wish we could've seen the director get his.
Not sure how a piece of dessert would feel so thick when hit.
As someone whose ambition is to become a filmmaker I've vowed to outdo this scene.
So Sweet!!!! Agreed!
I’m with you
I wish you Luck...you'll NEED it!
Still, I ***DO*** wish you all success!
I like your ambition, though this'll be a tough act to beat.
My dream sequel was to have the original cast, except for Natalie Wood (she was dead by then), and have her daughter play tony Curtis and NW’s daughter.
Some of this excellent pie fight should have been filmed in slow motion.
Surprised the fruit flies didn't get them.
You can play it back at 0.25x speed.
re: great race pie fight scene . can you imagine if all the ppl u hated in that room and let them have it , let it loose ? peter falk enters room"professor". pies on all sides . the grips must have had fun.
Choreographed by Jackson Pollock. With apologies to Moe, Larry and Curly.
this movie was on my betamax when i was a child; after watching 40x times someparts it become to Black and White :) Im still looking for Turkish Dubbed edition.
Guy no. 1 You wouldn't dare.
Guy no. 2 Oh wouldn't I?. Lol. The Three Stooges would be proud of them. Only bad thing is they didn't use the 'splat' sound effects the Stooges used.
And I thought the Three Stooges were the masters of pie throwing
For Natalie, she left the West Side to be the competitive Maggie DuBois in The Great Race(1965)
LoL 🤣
Hey! Whose gonna clean up this mess!
The Great Race(1965) had a pie fight which is dedicated to Laurel and Hardy
Music by Henri Mancini
I wish I was there that so fun they don’t make them like that no more
This scene took about 5 days to shoot
Did anyone hear any sounds of still cameras motor drive going off. They're heard starting at 0:07. Obviously done for publicity photos of the pie fight.
When Jack Lemon was knocked out I wonder how Peter Falk recovered from what happened to him 2:00.
Will this be a better way to solve our problems nowadays and a lot more fun to
3:05
"HEY, PROFESSOR!"
*Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* Splat*
That bit never gets old. Still funny even decades later.
no thxs I've had plenty...lol Sassa~~~ilya~~~stop eating me
wonder how long it took to clean up the set? hem.
Oh great......................White Fang returns to pie more fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
