The sad part about his whole era of comedy is that it was not publicly known to everyone how drugged out these people were, from Belushi to Robin Williams, and a lot of us children at the time assumed that was just acceptable behavior to be a 'funny guy', to the extent we would be nearly killing ourselves to try and recreate their antics.
@@David-w9i7jEveryone knew people were on drugs back then- celebrity gossip existed, people talked about knowing them- we're talking the same Era as the Grateful Dead- there was nothing but drugs. Half the songs you listen to from that era was made in drugs and its no secret.
Isn't the real story about Bill Murray and Chevy having a fist fight after Belushi kept instigating both thinking neither of them were gonna actually start throwing hands?
When I was a little kid it was Jerry Lewis but when I was 16 it was definitely John Belushi he was the reason I watched SNL from the 1st day it was on . I still think about that guy like he was family RIP John.
If sober, John would've had Chevy flat on his back, scared to death within 10 seconds. Chevy had zero physical ability, John was a varsity football player and varsity wrestler in h.s.
1. I never knew Belushi was a Jason Mantzoukas character. 2. I always think movies like this should just cut to the real footage rather than try to recreate classic routines...
@toadvine7952 It doesn't seem fair to judge how funny these people would or wouldn't be based on them playing other actors, especially doing material written for those actors.
Cmon Belushi was like 5'6 or something like that. Chevy Chase is a pretty big dude 6'3 or 6'4 and wasn't coked out of his mind all the time. I prefer Belushi as an entertainer , but let's keep it real here. Belushi not beating many people in a scrap.
This brings back good memories for me. I really miss John. He was an amazing actor. He was in Animal House. I still laugh whenever I watch it. I hope you have a fantastic day ❤️🙂⚘️.
I think the lesson here is if you want to lead a team, you have to be able to leave your ego behind and work with everyone. Well at least with those who can benefit the team. Such a maturity at that age.
This video did a great job in getting this out there. I've been fiendishly looking to see how I can watch, now that I'm in the most Northern piece of civilization in CA. Thank you Moving Pictures; purchased on Amazon Prime.
Chevy Chase was definitely not a good guy but also not someone to start a fight with. Chevy is known as being an asshole for a reason, he's just itching to cause some chaos and he's always down for a fight.
Belushi's album, "A Briefcase Full of Blues" rocked the Billboard charts at #1 in 1978, went Double Platinum. I don't think Chevy's cracked the top 200.
Chevy is 6’4” and was trained in boxing, belushi was 5’8” and was coked out. So let’s use logic instead of feelings here. I think Chevy was a bully that shot his mouth off any chance he got, he only got humbled when he was old on community and Joel put him on his ass.
@laartwork it isn't the "my dad can kick your dad's ass". People who knew Belushi have said he was a pretty tough guy with serious strength. I haven't heard of chevy being particularly tough, just a bully
Just like other people have said on here already. The real fight was between Chevy Chase, and Bill Murray. And Bill won. John was loud about it but didn’t fight Chevy about his ego at the expense of his costars. But everyone became their own brand and they were all jealous of each other.
I thought Chevy Chase got into a fight with Bill Murray _(which John Belushi instigated)_ & when did Lourne Michaels host Weekend Update?! Is this portraying an SNL dress rehearsal?!
It really puts it all into context when we can look back knowing the truth. Belushi was a man crippled with self-loathing over his appearance. His wife said the amount of revulsion he had for himself broke her heart. He was a man in deep pain and for Chevy to so casually destroy him, in-front of women no less, about his insecurity shows what a prick Chase was. It also shows how quick and savant like Chevy was blessed to be in comedy. Chevy didn't let up, tears only made it worse.
If this movie was perfectly accurate with what was going on the last 2 hours before the ahow, they would have never gone live week 1. They would have waited a week!
They got some actors who semi looked like the characters, but can’t act like them, and they also got actors that can act, but don’t look a thing like their character.
Such a bad representation of how things actually went. This is like a millennials view of what happened in the 70’s. They didn’t even make the characters funny or likable. Boo.
The conceit of this movie, that every single comedian is actually super serious and angry is insane. Funny people like being funny, try to be funny, enjoy laughing... they aren't all intense and serious.
Generic Oscar-bait method to artificially create suspense. It wears viewers out, but the critics feel compelled to give 5 star reviews because there's just "so much drama in every scene!" Same with the TV shows Ozark and Yellowstone. It's cheap and formulaic, but milks good reviews from imbeciles. A behind-the-scenes movie about the Teletubbies would be similarly as intense and biting. Writers just don't know how to write stories that aren't over-the-top battles of life and death anymore. Everything must be raised to the level of absurdity to retain the low attention spans of the degenerating masses.
Did you ever love a show years ago and then you re-watch it years later and you're like meh ? That's how I feel about SNL 50 years later . Maybe it's me , maybe it's them . Lord knows I haven't aged well but I don't think old SNL has either .
So much was extremely exaggerated in this and then labeled for entertainment purposes to move along the story trying to make you believe all the events took place in one night when anyone who has done deep dives of SNL lore already knows this movie is a lie 😂
Belushi or Chevy? Who's your fave?
@@MovingPicsOfficial John is, and will always be one of my favorite comedians. He is just so damn funny.
Ask better questions or remain silent.
In a fight? Chevy takes Belushi.
Belushi by a mile. Chevy's a one-hit wonder, and also a prick.
@@HaimTabibi-ge8jxAll the arguments to be made, and you pick literally the worst one possible.
"Don't feed coke to the animals!" LMAO 🤣
Perfect burn from Chevy - a total dickhead thing to say but also very funny when it doesn't involve you personally.
That guy doing chevy is dead on.
Yeah, I really liked him as Edward Nygma/Riddler on Gotham.
Even the blink at the end of his punchline. Thats a Chevy trademark there
@@PassengersMusic777 You'd think it's actually Chevy.
10 pounds of neck! LOL
@@MarkPriest-v6u Those zingers on the fly. Chevy walked around like that, slaying everyone at the drop of a hat.
Look at that hair. He could really use a honey comb.
.......really?
Ha! Totally lol, I have some Armenian friends that can fro up easily
Matt Wood would make a great comic accurate Wolverine!

Whole era? Haha as if this doesn't still take place. Hollywood likes to party.
@@joshuaa1605 But we all know that they are on drugs now.
what you talking about it was the mid 70s thats what we did killing yourself doing what exactly

That happened after Chevy Chase had left the show. He was hosting that episode.
U cal dsi scene a fight i cud confuse it w clickbaut
It seems this movie takes far too many creative liberties, which might be a reason why it bombed.
Yes. You are exactly right. There was no fight between Belushi and Chevy, but this fight is supposed to 'represent' Chevy and Bill Murray's fight 🙄
Belushi actually broke up the fight wtf is this?
When I was a little kid it was Jerry Lewis but when I was 16 it was definitely John Belushi he was the reason I watched SNL from the 1st day it was on . I still think about that guy like he was family RIP John.
That Chevy actor looks and acts like the real one .
He really nailed it.
Imagine doing coke and getting violent at your job and still having a job after that.
Some places are like that, especially marijuana nowadays or alcohol
from what i've seen, back in the day coke was everywhere and wasn't as unnacceptable as it is today
@@El_Huas0_Gamer Damn Boomers got all of the good stuff
The actor who portrayed Chevy nailed it.
Well I'm sold! This clip coupled with the trailer has me completely invested and I can't wait to watch it!
So a coked-out Belushi lost his temper and became violent.
And a regular ol' Chevy Chase was a belligerent jerk
That's why this movie was a huge hit real insight into the background of SNL we didn't know
Chevy would have whooped John’s ass.
@@HaimTabibi-ge8jxno he would not lol
Yep for sure
Belushi they really got perfect, dude looks just like him, incredible!
If sober, John would've had Chevy flat on his back, scared to death within 10 seconds. Chevy had zero physical ability, John was a varsity football player and varsity wrestler in h.s.
Bro Chevy Chase is a big guy that has boxed his entire life, Belushi got whooped
@hussard2062 if intoxicated, sure. Sober, I'd win this bet
Chevy was fist fighting his step-father at 15. Actual fights where his abusive mother thought they were going to kill each other.
Lol that wasn't even a fist fight 😂
Dam i remember watching that for the first time love that scetch
Don't let him use it as a straw.🤣
Quite a few fans think the actor playing Belushi should play Wolverine in the MCU.
Both too poofy and too puffy for Wolverine, absolutely zero menace to the doughboy.
It is the kid from Big Bang, right?
Once he works out but I can see the face and menace look tho
@@commotiocordis1037 He can diet and work out.
I thought the exact same thing.
1. I never knew Belushi was a Jason Mantzoukas character.
2. I always think movies like this should just cut to the real footage rather than try to recreate classic routines...
Another idea might be casting funny people and writing funny thing for them to do. This movie truly seems to capture how unfunny SNL is in 2025.
@toadvine7952 It doesn't seem fair to judge how funny these people would or wouldn't be based on them playing other actors, especially doing material written for those actors.
@ Ok. Stop crying. It's not your fault.
I honestly thought John could take Chevy.
A short, out-of-shape cokehead trying to fight a tall, athletic dickhead? Not a chance.
he could. This is fiction.
Cmon Belushi was like 5'6 or something like that. Chevy Chase is a pretty big dude 6'3 or 6'4 and wasn't coked out of his mind all the time. I prefer Belushi as an entertainer , but let's keep it real here. Belushi not beating many people in a scrap.
Agreed in size difference but being coked out gives you super hulk strength for like 15 mins
@@boombapdoom493chevy had boxing training in the past though
This brings back good memories for me. I really miss John. He was an amazing actor. He was in Animal House. I still laugh whenever I watch it. I hope you have a fantastic day ❤️🙂⚘️.
“They took the bar! THE WHOLE FUCKING BAR!!!”
@amadeus5889 That was a great scene in the movie. I hope you have a fantastic weekend 🙂⚘️.
What would also be interesting to see the reenactment of the infamous fight between Chase and Murray( provoked by Belushi)
Or the fight between Jon Lovitz and Boy George.
Chevy played the same charactor in every role he ever had.
That went nuts
I kinda wanna see a Jim Henson or Carlin team up movie in this universe.
Hiring Riddler from Gotham as Chevy is awesome casting.
This actually made me think that was actually Chevy Chase. This kind of fits his reputation.
I think the lesson here is if you want to lead a team, you have to be able to leave your ego behind and work with everyone. Well at least with those who can benefit the team. Such a maturity at that age.
As bad as Chevy is, the more I learn about Bill Murray, I like him even less.
The legacy of Doug Kenny here.
Fruits being feasted on by New York Ingenuity.
Dont feed coke to the animals 😂
People on here thinking this factually happened need to read.
"How was that?"😐
"It was horrible."🙂
I love Chevy Chase. He doesn’t give 2 F’s.
Matt Wood, the actor playing John Belushi here can 1000% work as Wolverine in the MCU
In 1993 I thought that Gary Sinese would have been a perfect Wolverine.
How about Danny devito
People who do that are really a ticking time bomb.
Makes me appreciate SCTV even more.
They’re trying too hard, more caricatures than portrayals.
Chevy was pretty on point
@@vasvas8914 yep Chevy was a jerk but hilarious 😅
Think that's the point they're making with Belushi. He became so strung out on drugs he became a walking talking caricature of himself.
Nobody knows hardly who these people are anymore, can’t blame them for going the easy route.
Nice that you knew them so well! How did they really act?
This video did a great job in getting this out there. I've been fiendishly looking to see how I can watch, now that I'm in the most Northern piece of civilization in CA. Thank you Moving Pictures; purchased on Amazon Prime.
What's the movie title?
Chevy Chase was definitely not a good guy but also not someone to start a fight with. Chevy is known as being an asshole for a reason, he's just itching to cause some chaos and he's always down for a fight.
The director of this should be embarrassed.
Shit Chevy is a big dude too in real life. That would probably be a fight he'd win
Belushi's album, "A Briefcase Full of Blues" rocked the Billboard charts at #1 in 1978, went Double Platinum.
I don't think Chevy's cracked the top 200.
Chevy Chase had a music album?
Yeah because John was more into music than Chevy was, and both of them BTW have pretty good voices
@@crowkid5553 Chevy was in a couple of bands. One of them had the guys from Steely Dan.
@TighelanderII yeah but I meant as dedicating to music more solo wise. That said I do like Chevys music
How is Bill Murray not in this? Did he threaten to sue or something?
Murray wasn't in the original cast.
Same thing happened to George Burns and Milton Berle.
can you upload the nothing from nothing scene please??
Everyone was doing drugs back then, not just Belushi. They still do coke on that show 100% I guarantee it
Would have been interesting to see the 5-year story of Micheals starting, then leaving the show.
So Chevy was the voice of reason.
Was he, though
I doubt Chevy would have ever gotten the upper hand on Belushi in any fight.
Chevy is 6’4” and was trained in boxing, belushi was 5’8” and was coked out. So let’s use logic instead of feelings here.
I think Chevy was a bully that shot his mouth off any chance he got, he only got humbled when he was old on community and Joel put him on his ass.
Pretty sure Chevy was a college athlete. I think he played soccer or something.
@@lukenava8231 Also John during his college days he was a football player but eventually had an injury that prevented to keep going to play football.
And Bruce Lee did get thrown around by a stunt man in real life. Stop with the "my dad could kick your dad's ass".
@laartwork it isn't the "my dad can kick your dad's ass". People who knew Belushi have said he was a pretty tough guy with serious strength. I haven't heard of chevy being particularly tough, just a bully

He originally had planned on doing weekend update, he acted on a show previously I believe where he did something very similar.
Yup you are indeed correct. This fight never happened, but "symbolizes" the fight between Chevy and Bill
No one expected Belushi of all people to thump a bigot
It really puts it all into context when we can look back knowing the truth. Belushi was a man crippled with self-loathing over his appearance. His wife said the amount of revulsion he had for himself broke her heart. He was a man in deep pain and for Chevy to so casually destroy him, in-front of women no less, about his insecurity shows what a prick Chase was.

I’d rather just watch old episodes…on the dvds I have
My favorite era was the 92-96 era , but that's my teen years. It probably has to do with what era you grew up in , what your favorite snl years is.
That guy who played riddler. Really has some stretch in acting
What movie is this from……????
The movie is called "Saturday Night"
If this movie was perfectly accurate with what was going on the last 2 hours before the ahow, they would have never gone live week 1. They would have waited a week!
What fist fight?
Dressed as a bee i don't blame him, that's like getting paid to wear a dress 👗 on live television a few actors already done this
That really wasn't much of a fist fight?
This should never have been made. People, don't subscribe. Everyone, delete "Moving Pictures" from TH-cam.
Thank you
This actually never happened.
They got some actors who semi looked like the characters, but can’t act like them, and they also got actors that can act, but don’t look a thing like their character.
I'm with Chevy on this one. Belushi was acting like a child.
Bill Murray whooped Chevy Chases ass lol
Buh-Looch inhaled all of Morris’s stuff.
If youre going to act gross. Dont be surprised someone calls you out on it
Cociane bee.
I realize they had to make the most exiting movie possible. But this did not happen opening night.
100% correct. The weather bit came later.
Wow. It's like we have John Belushi back, that actor is giving off mad Belushi vibes
Finally a great version of Jon, beats the wired version.
Gawd, forgot about that one.

Yeah, does the company make anything off these?
Everyone forgets because chevy was such a comedian, but Chase was a pretty imposing figure if mad.
No we knew he was an imposing figure anyway but I still love him regardless
The conceit of this movie, that every single comedian is actually super serious and angry is insane. Funny people like being funny, try to be funny, enjoy laughing... they aren't all intense and serious.
Some are like Chevy Chase who a massive ego and john was drug addict
Most are depressed. Have you been around a lot of professional comedians?
Look at every comedian you’ve ever watched, did they really look happy?

Pretty sure it's a drama and not meant to be funny. So they did a good job.
Talent management is so gross. Just do your job. Get over yourself
great fuckin movie
Oh, I just heard that as Beetlejuice saying it.
This really sucks
What a fking failure of a movie. Chevy was right, "Jason Reitman should be embarrassed." Yeesh.
Probably better than "Juno" though.
The guy who plays Belushi looks somewhat like Belushi. The guy who plays Chevy doesn;t look at all like Chevy Chase.
You are right. But he has the same mannerisms.

Who did they imagine wanted to see this?
Unwatchable.
