My uncle took his family on vacation and came across the filming of this movie. I have no idea how it happened but he met and was invited to lunch by John Candy. My uncle was a photographer and took a lot of pictures so I was blown away to see them together. I loved John Candy and it was so nice to learn he really was the nicest man.
Oh wow! That is incredible! How many people can say that! That they've actually run into a movie set even by accident and met a movie star and even asked to lunch by that star! Incredible!
@@FERN69Q I wish I could but they belonged to my uncle and he passed away. I asked my Mom about how he knew they were filming and she said her brother was an ex-newspaper photographer so he had connections in the news and his guy would give him scoops. He had a scrap book when they were filming Hoosiers, but what I’ll never forget is that it’s one thing to walk past a movie shoot but another thing to have lunch with John Candy! Maybe I’ll ask her if she can reach out to my aunt and have her sent the pictures
Yeah as much as a lot of people don't really think much about this movie, there is something about it that just hits me and makes me feel happy every single time I watch it. And this is one of those movies that I watched many many times. Jack learning to sail and then rehabbing the Barnacle just has something about it that I never get tired of.
My father, Bob Wells (known to Clevelanders as "Hoolihan") has a small role in this film. Every time you see the villain, Richard Crenna, you see him, although he had few lines, he did get a full facial reaction shot when Crenna said my dad would be picking up the check in the restaurant scene. My mother, Barbara Wells, is also in this film as the neighbor who responds "having lunch", and later as a yacht race official. Dad relates that John was the absolutely nicest guy, and working with Crenna and director Carl Reiner was a career highlight for him. I, too, sorely miss John Candy, and count this film as one of my favorites. He was an outstanding talent the likes of which we might never see again.
John Candy wasn't just a great actor but a great person and friend. Everyone that worked with him has only said positive things to say about him. I love his movies my favorite ones being Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Uncle Buck. Rest in Peace John Candy you will truly be missed 🫡
@@adamjlozano2454 Oh I forgot about Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the stupid thing about it is I actually have it and watch it from time to time as I do Summer Rental, Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors.
I loved this movie. I saw in the theater with my boy scout troop of all things. In 85 we had our first family vacation in Florida with disney for part of it and the StPete area for the rest. I remember people talking about the movie a lot and some of the filming locations. This vacation was repeated with my own kids many years later.
John Candy will always be a legend to everyone who has followed his work! I'm by no means, an exception. My favorite film of his is called "Only The Lonely" with him, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn. Great film directed by Chris Columbus.
I loved this movie as a kid, and it still holds that nostalgia for me as an adult! I love what you do Minty! You make all of your viewers long for these times!
John Candy was a class act!! He was very humble and didn't see himself as better than other people. Unlike many of the actors and actresses of today. R.I.P. John Candy. I'm sure you're giving God a few laughs.
I remember hearing about John Candy passing away on the radio, before internet, while working in my backyard. It was hard to believe back then. He seemed like one of the family.
This movie always seemed to fall into the afternoon movie slot back in the day and seems to usually be in rotation in the Netflix, Hulu, etc services these days. I don't know, it's one of my more favored "anytime" movies. The idea is simple with some great coloring outside the edges by a great cast. There is just so much relation between this movie and parts of our own vacations that bring the realism. John and Rip played so well off each other. Cheers.
This movie is what turned me on to Jimmy Buffet. The Buffet song " Turn it Around " plays at the end and I have been a Parrot Head ever since. Rest in Peace Jimmy Buffet.
Another brilliant highlight of a classic. Miss John Candy's performances. You should so do a Oscar video every year that misses out on all the talent that gets forgotten
I have some info on that once planned sequel to Summer Rental. It was planned back in the day, and I saw it in a Paramount Pictures presentation for investors that's online. The film was not just a sequel to Summer Rental, but a loose adaptation of the 1950 British film of the same name, but unfortunately, like you said... he passed away in 1994. But then, years later, Queen Latifah found the script for the abandoned sequel and absolutely loved it and asked for the script to be modified for her, and it would lead to 2006 remake to be made. The story was basically about a person finding out that they have a terminal illness and that they have a short amount of time on earth, so said person goes to a fancy hotel to spend every single moment till their last.
I loved this movie growing up. Now that I k ow where it was filmed, I love it even more. I spent a few summers in St. Pete with my grandparents and thus movie always made me think of that. I miss those days
Dude this is one of my all time favorite movies - RAD and Summer Rental - you always do the niche’ classics that’s why you’re so damn popular - thank you man! I love this movie because I live in Florida so the scenes are so familiar to me with our own family vacations set in the great decade of the 80’s
Thanks for the video Minty! John Candy is a legend from my childhood. This movie is criminally underrated. My brother and I still quote it from time to time.
This is still in my Top 10 favorite summer movies, and I still watch it at least three times a year! I instantly fell in love with this movie when my father took my mother and me to see it when it came out. It was just so relatable and fun! I would also ALWAYS watch it as a triple feature with National Lampoon's Vacation & Jaws the night before I would take my family on road trips! Will always miss John Candy! Great times!!🎵Turning Around🎵
Camp Candy was a fave sat morning cartoon growing up. There have been few celebrities that I have had an emotional reaction upon hearing of their passing, Candy was one of them. Thankful to have lived during a time of such people and to have seen them shine. May rag on Canada in the modern times, however some very talented people have come out of that country over the years, and for that i tip my hat.
In the United States and Canada, it made $5,754,259 in its first weekend, ranking second at the box office. On second weekend, it grossed $3,708,813 in 1,595 theaters, a 35% decrease over the previous week, ranking sixth. By the third weekend, it made $2.3 million and on its fourth $1.9 million over Labor Day weekend, ranking tenth. On the fifth weekend, it made over $1 million for a $1 million for a box-office total of $21,579,838.
I'll never forget the day we lost him, I remember seeing one of his last films Wagons East on opening day, tughed at the heart strings. Such an amazing talent and person.
Seeing the outtakes of The great Outdoors remind me that one scene in the movie Crazy Bear was inspire from it. Candy was so good in one of my favorite modern comedy, Plain train and automobile . Miss that guy.
3:12 I never knew John Candy had such big feet; he must have enjoyed doing an entire movie barefoot, just letting those big feet of his air out in the summer air, I mean check out those toes 😅
Gotta say I don't recall this movie but it's added to my watch list as always thank you ro another great fun video to watch n super dope vhs n chill shirt looking into getting one of those too
A few years ago we went on a beach vacation. While driving there we talked about 'Summer Rental' and the next day while watching TV it came on! Legendary. R.I.P. J.C. we will miss you forever.
Dude you have done the best job of anybody ever in the way that you present these top 10 things, it’s amazing and you have done all of my favorite movies, I can’t thank you enough man
Thanks Minty! This movie means a lot to me. As a kid this was a movie I watched with my grandmother a lot, she loved it and she just passed last year. Cheers mate you always make me smile.
Any John Candy film is wonderful, this one is probably my 3rd favorite after Uncle Buck (gets better everytime you watch it), and Planes Trains and Automobiles.
I'm a Candy movie fan and from St Petersburg but I did not know that this movie was shot in St Pete Beach. I'd only heard about Cocoon being filmed locally. I'll have to see if I recognize anything next time I watch it.
I still miss John Candy. He was always such a kind and gifted actor in 80s comedies. Some of his smaller roles were the announcer in Rookie Of The Year, the voice of Wilbur the albatross in The Rescuers Down Under, and of course the band leader in Home Alone.
Mr. Candy was a super funny guy He is missed greatly Some people are only meant to blaze across the sky for so long His star shown bright, he left a delible impression on those of us lucky enough to be alive during his stay on this planet. R.I.P. Uncle Buck ❤
I love John Candy.Great actor and great father.We lost him too early.I still miss him.RIP John Candy.This is my favourite John Candy movie.Thats the truth.I saw it in the theater when I was 5 years old
I remember seeing this movie on HBO years ago, it brings back memories of a gifted actor John Candy (RIP). Cool video as always Minty, you take care and have a great weekend sir
John Candy made a lot of great before his passing, a lot I actually have and watch from time to time and it's a shame he's no longer with us doing what he does best, making such great movies but sadly there'll never be another like John Candy again.
#11 things I didn't know about Summer Rental: That this film existed. Thank you Minty for bringing this film to my attention. Really miss John Candy, he was an amzing person and so funny. So proud to be a Canadian. I have to see if I can see this film.
I love this movie. The scene when he returns to his summerhouse to find it taken over by beach goers is hilarious. I also love the scene when he first asks where all the people walking through his yard are going and the slob points at the public beach sign and just belches really loud hahahaha. Gets me every time.
So that was Kerri Green voice that said “mommy,can I play with Yorku?”… and Yorku was played by Harry Yorku who IMDB credited him as the Pirate Musician

The movie also features a Jimmy Buffett song that's never been put on a Jimmy Buffett album. I also deeply love the movie. It's one of those ones that's just a must watch during the summer, or any time you need a good pick-me-up movie. I think those that didn't get it at first were just not really paying attention, as it does start out more chaotic, but gains focus as it heads closer to the boat race. John Candy's movies tend to all be good for chasing off the blues. Great Outdoors is another favorite, and yeah, both have often played here in the US on stations. Often during summer movie blocks, to tie in with the vacation theme.
I can't believe John has been gone that long but I remember I was nine and a half years old when I heard the news me and my grandmother were shocked because we use to enjoy watching his movies and of course camp candy 😢RIP sir you truly were an amazing comedian
Carl Reiner did have a cameo as a guy named Rancho Canejo in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. The photo you showed, however, was of Jim Backus who was Tyler Fitzgerald in this movie and he also played Mr. Howell on Gilligan's Island. I'm not being critical, mind you. I love what you do and nobody's perfect. Keep up the good work!

Yes I'm.sorry it was a story about John, sorry, that bluff it's on me
@@MintyComedicArts No worries. Love John and Summer Rental! 😀

If I had a dollar for every time I've said Jim instead of John, I'd have a hundred bucks. God bless them both, may they rest in peace...

I'm Canadian. He's our national uncle. WE loved you John Candy. We still miss you.
Uncle Buck?

Always loved John Candy's movies in the 80s. RIP Mr Candy.
Same! “The Great Outdoors” was one of the first movies I remember seeing in a theater.
Rest in peace, John Candy. Everyone who has ever worked with him has spoken about what a true gentleman he was.
@trinaq The late Tommy Lister Jr called him an Angel and the best person he ever met.
Wow. I’m sure he was.
He was supposed to be in ghostbusters but someone wouldn't let him be Russian with dogs.
I would say this film is very underrated. It’s a good film John Candy shines as ever
I loved it but it kind of lost me at the end, kind of like used cars did.
Great movie!!! Watched it a number of times as a child
Summer Rental is among one of my favorites as well as Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors.
Yeah as much as a lot of people don't really think much about this movie, there is something about it that just hits me and makes me feel happy every single time I watch it. And this is one of those movies that I watched many many times. Jack learning to sail and then rehabbing the Barnacle just has something about it that I never get tired of.

One of my favorite John Candy movies ever.
Agreed

Miss John Candy and this is one of my favorites 80’s movies and Plane trains and automobiles
A low key, gentle and special comedy. I did not know the man, but I think he was playing his likable self and that is what made it work so well.
John Candy was such a masterful comedian. 🙏
I loved this movie. I saw in the theater with my boy scout troop of all things.
In 85 we had our first family vacation in Florida with disney for part of it and the StPete area for the rest.
I remember people talking about the movie a lot and some of the filming locations.
This vacation was repeated with my own kids many years later.
One of my all-time favorite movies!
This is one of my Favorite movies. 👍👍
Another 80's Classic from John Candy!! ❤❤
i still watch this movie every year in the spring, because summer can't start without it.
John Candy will always be a legend to everyone who has followed his work! I'm by no means, an exception. My favorite film of his is called "Only The Lonely" with him, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn. Great film directed by Chris Columbus.
30 years since we lost this wonderful wonderful comic and we still miss him a lot😢
I loved this movie as a kid, and it still holds that nostalgia for me as an adult! I love what you do Minty! You make all of your viewers long for these times!
I just watched this last night. I love this movie. Im a huge John Candy fan
I'm still upset about John Candy dying. He is one of my favorites. So lovable.
I love Summer Rental and The Great Outdoors. Rest In Peace John Candy. He was a great actor.
John Candy was a class act!! He was very humble and didn't see himself as better than other people. Unlike many of the actors and actresses of today. R.I.P. John Candy. I'm sure you're giving God a few laughs.
Loved all his movies. He should still be around.
I remember hearing about John Candy passing away on the radio, before internet, while working in my backyard. It was hard to believe back then. He seemed like one of the family.
RIP John you gave me so many laughs growing up and now i share your talent with my kids. job well done sir
I loved this movie! I never knew that there was a possibility of a sequel. John Candy is Legendary - He is truly missed.
This movie always seemed to fall into the afternoon movie slot back in the day and seems to usually be in rotation in the Netflix, Hulu, etc services these days. I don't know, it's one of my more favored "anytime" movies. The idea is simple with some great coloring outside the edges by a great cast. There is just so much relation between this movie and parts of our own vacations that bring the realism. John and Rip played so well off each other. Cheers.
This movie is what turned me on to Jimmy Buffet. The Buffet song " Turn it Around " plays at the end and I have been a Parrot Head ever since. Rest in Peace Jimmy Buffet.
Richard Crenna played a great heel 👌
Another brilliant highlight of a classic. Miss John Candy's performances.
You should so do a Oscar video every year that misses out on all the talent that gets forgotten
This has been one of my favorites since I was little. My kids watch this with my mom every summer when they visit Grandma.

3:57 - Carl Reiner didn’t star in “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World”, just a small cameo, and you showed a picture of Jim Backus.
And you omitted a “Mad” from the title.
Minty should've said Carl had a small part in "The Jerk". Kind of whiffed on that reference there
Good eye, that is indeed Mr. Howell from Gilligans Island Jim Backus

The scene where the daughter told her mother to not look back at the beach guys checking them out was hilarious.
John was a very special person, he was a good and kind man unlike many other actors.
Thanks for doing a John Candy film ❤️ the GOAT of the 80s

The movie also features a Jimmy Buffett song that's never been put on a Jimmy Buffett album. I also deeply love the movie. It's one of those ones that's just a must watch during the summer, or any time you need a good pick-me-up movie. I think those that didn't get it at first were just not really paying attention, as it does start out more chaotic, but gains focus as it heads closer to the boat race. John Candy's movies tend to all be good for chasing off the blues. Great Outdoors is another favorite, and yeah, both have often played here in the US on stations. Often during summer movie blocks, to tie in with the vacation theme.
My favorite John Candy movie! RIP to the legend.
One of my fill good move never get tired of watching this film just love it
Rest in peace to the man who single-handedly made everyone like Canadians
Great Outdoors!!!!!
This is my favorite summer movie. Thanks for the episode. You’re the man Minty!
Do more John Candy films. The guy was universally loved by everyone, and his legacy still lives on.
Such a cute movie. RIP John, thank you for the laughs.
I forget who said it but his best compliment was "Every movie he played in was better because of it"...
I can't believe John has been gone that long but I remember I was nine and a half years old when I heard the news me and my grandmother were shocked because we use to enjoy watching his movies and of course camp candy 😢RIP sir you truly were an amazing comedian
Carl Reiner did have a cameo as a guy named Rancho Canejo in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. The photo you showed, however, was of Jim Backus who was Tyler Fitzgerald in this movie and he also played Mr. Howell on Gilligan's Island. I'm not being critical, mind you. I love what you do and nobody's perfect. Keep up the good work!
Love John Candy. You should definitely do a video on "Who's Harry Crumb?"
