Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Steve Martin At His Best?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- One of the classic movie tropes of studio comedies, and especially in the 70s and 80s- is the ever-clever “slobs vs snobs” tale. You know, the blue-collar underdog against a preppy, often annoyingly sophisticated social elite. Movies like Revenge of the Nerds, Animal House, Wayne’s World, or Caddy Shack make this the crux of their stories and often use multiple characters in each category to drive the shenanigans all the way up. But in some cases, a movie will tell the story with just one slob and one snob- and crank them both to their absolute extremes- and then throw in a heist because... we love that stuff.
In today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about 1988’s buddy comedy classic- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. This movie stars Steve Martin and Michael Caine as two con artists who make an old western style bet to run each other out of town. The bet? Whichever con can scam a rich tourist out of $50,000 first gets to keep the cash and claim the quaint French Riviera all to themselves. If the plot of this movie sounds familiar, that’s because this movie is a remake of the 1966 film called “Bedtime Story”, and there was since the 2019 remake starring Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway called “The Hustle”.
Although I am a fan of each of these films, I would be lying if I said that this version was anything less than my favorite. I mean, we’re talking Steve Martin here. So, if you want to watch an incredible nostalgic movie but you’ve only got 15 minutes to do it- then step into my time capsule once again as we flash back to 1988 and watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

This comedy has every right in being nominated one of, if not the greatest comedy of it's time. It's that good, I cry every single time with laughter.
+ My Cousin Vinny from the same writer gave me the best abs workouts
Steve Martin and Micheal Caine had great comedic chemistry together.
The scene of Steve Martin crying in the wheelchair always gets me
"Why is the cork on the fork?"
"May I go to the bathroom" always gets me. Martin's facial expression is priceless.
@@jochenstacker7448 🤣👍
How about A Fish Called Wanda...
“Ruprecht”, is the funniest bit ever in a movie. Period. My 89 year old father in law still speaks of it. It transcends generations
One of my favorite comedies of all time (that I even have on DVD in my home movie collection)...wish we could have a sequel to this movie (after all, the ending sort of set up an idea for a continuation, even if it was meant as a joke).
Knowing that Steve Martin is a real art lover and collector himself, closer to Lawrence Jamieson than Freddy, just adds an extra layer to this film.
I recommend this movie all the time. Teach the youth. They don't make them like this anymore.
A remake of "Bedtime Story" from 1964 Starring David Niven and Marlon Brando. You haven't lived until you've seen Brando playing Ruprecht.
Amazing movie!
May I go to the bathroom? Thank you!
That was Brando's gag, down to the same facial expression. The whole film is shot for shot a remake.
with your glowing review, I am surprised it only got 7.5/10
Eight minutes into the movie Emperor Palpitine is in the background with a white blazer.
it really holds up. The Broadway musical adaptation is very good as well - surprised you didn't mention it.
The best comedy ever. Top 10 movie ever.
Not forgotten around this house. This is highly regarded here as one of Steve Martin's absolute best films.
LOVED THIS FILM....! 👌😏 The remake ('The Hustle' 2019) was just as expected... UTTER CRAP.... 😒... Though, Anne Hathaway... Yeah, I would 😉
😎🇬🇧
"Ruprecht, do you want the genital cuff?" Everyone was at the top of their comedic game in this 80's gem. As for a suggestion for the suggestion box. How about one on Hiding Out (87').
Its absolutely in my opinion one of the funniest movies of all time, very clever and wit script, some scenes are still so fucking hilarious I cant watch it for my stomach 😂😂. Like the "do you feel this?" moment
Midnight Run ?
7.5 out of 10?? Easily a 9, on par with ‘A Fish Called Wanda.’
Agreed! My top two favorites
Nostalgia: things that worked, were funny, competent and relatable for more than a target demographic.
I can watch DRS and Three Amigos any day and laugh my arse off.😂
You may know that we Germans dub every movie and I have to say that the jokes are even better in the German dub, esp. the scenes with Ruprecht. Seeing parts in English here is of course funny since I know the dialogs very well. I love this one, one of my all-time favorite comedys.
I could sit with ya talking movies of an evening
This movie is brilliant. Even the teaser trailer was great.
The scene with Rupret and the dishes is my favorite... 😆 🤣 😂
Really...
I wonder if JoBlo's team think that putting the narrator's face on a thumbnail actually increase viewership
I think youtube requires more of the creators faces
Would love to hear your take on Outrageous Fortune (1987) with Shelley Long and Bette Midler. It’s one of my faves from the ‘80s.
Let's face it, this man is cool.
You rock dude. Keep covering Steve Martin please. He had some great movies. And great music he's still making.
Some of my favorite movies: "The Nights Of Cabiria"; "The Constant Gardener"; "Malena"; "Legends Of The Fall"; "Far And Away"; "Quigley Down Under"; "Full Monty"; "Fun With Dick And Jane"; "Kingpin"; "Bedazzled"; "Gattaca"; "Loser"; "Funny Farm"
Of the movie is good, it was directed by freaking Yoda!
@Ricky_Spanish And has Emperor Palpatine in a supporting role. 👍
Fierce Creatures
Planes ,Trains and Automobiles is worth reviewing
Poetic? I dunno...by I dunno Creative Realm The House Took and Forgot about it... THE 90's and BEfore,,,,
Oh and Money Pit too with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long
I'm pleased that the majority of the commentators know that this is far superior to the Brando, Niven movie.
This movie is great 🤘🍻🤘
Nice video. Others I'd like to see you do are:
Outrageous Fortune
Ruthless People
Who's Harry Crumb?
Armed and Dangerous
Taking Care of Business/Filofax.
This film is a lot of fun! Thank you for having a retrospect on it since many of the scenes you presented made me laugh heartily. I love the great Michael Caine and uproariously terrific Steve Martin. I still remember some years after the release of this film. McDonald’s having a promotion of giving away certain movies with a purchase of their meals, and I remember getting a VHS copy for free of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”
Other movies you could do a cool hindsight on? Well, what about:
• Back to School
• Weird Science
• Bullets Over Broadway
…just to name some. But great video on such a fun film!
Funny thing frank had previously worked with Steve on little shop of horrors and I think this might have helped Michael get the role of Scrooge
I haven’t seen this since I was like 9. So definitely overdue for a rewatch I’d say. Great video as always dude!
Super evaluation of this film! I must admit that Steve Martin's character makes him on the verge of unlikable, I wanted Micheal to be the winner. I was also totally surprised she was a con artist as well.
After Caines recent turkey Shock to the System actually that was 1989.
Mick Jagger and David Bowie?? Neither could act.
Love this "sub-channel". do dragnet!! Great movie
7.5/10?
I'm sorry, this movie is a 10.
Agreed! At least a “9.”
The villa is Villa Hier, Cap d'Antibes, built in the early 1900’s. The indoor rooms were sets built for the film, but the villa has its own pool, several patios, private beach and tennis court.
The supposed “museum” where Lawrence takes Freddy is the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, located at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, built between 1907 and 1912 for the Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild (1864-1934).
Congrats for mentioning the original as well as the latest remake. Prolly one of the few reboots where gender-swapping worked.
Such a great, seemingly too under-seen, film.
after the "Dancing in the streets" video what couldn't Jagger and Bowie do together?
Time capsule? Tardis! I'll let you explain to America.
One of the best comedies of the 80's!!!
Bro didn't even mention the part where Steve spends the night with the Navy seamen & they glue his hand to the wall 😂
I have still been known to say "really" in a way clearly inspired by this film.
Rupret! After that..
We apologize...
He's crying tears of joy 😂😅😅😅😅
Hey Nacho, still doing the shoe videos?? 😅
May i go to the bathroom .....thank u
I have this poster up in my garage
Parenthood too
Booo.. this movie is 11 out of 10. BOOOOO
Bloody GREAT film!
1990s Men At Work?
The Running Man
Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma!
The two most underrated movies that I love are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Dewy Cox. I can't understand why neither one did great at the box office. I watch them every time they're on TV and still laugh😮
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I watch this movie for first time on dvd for my local library,
Why is there a cork on his fork? 😂😂😂
To stop him poking himself in the eye
Brilliant movie & 1 of my favourites.
Reprecht 😂
I saw it a month ago and it still holds up!
Great movie,very funny.
This is NOT a forgotten movie. Not while I live.
There is no comedic actor or dramatic actor, just actors.
