Try to tell kids who thought ‘Joker’ was some kind of breakout, new kind of film, about this…
@Ughra Yuvakov
Not always…
@Ughra Yuvakov
It definitely says a lot about culture, madness and the vapid, hollow, pitiful, cult of celebrity.
In that sense things have (unbelievably) only gotten worse. (See: 2022 Academy Awards)
I’m genuinely sad for kids today. They don’t have a clue about how bad they’ve got it. They complain like they do but they have no idea…
This film was decades ahead of ‘Joker’ and it tells the story far more eloquently!
Edit: Your comments were spot on!
I thought it was an homage to Taxi Driver, but after just watching TKoC, wow, it really does owe everything to Scorcese, lol.
dude... i was watching this movie and i literally saw the similarities w the joker he seriously played out his delusions of being obsessed, and being in a tonight show js like rupert pupkin
I saw this movie after I seen Joker and was amazed. King of comedy is a great movie, so is Joker but you can definitely see the inspirations used to fuel that film. I’ve heard Taxi Driver comparisons which I can totally see but after watching the King of Comedy it seemed much more of an inspiration instead of Taxi Driver (in my opinion) The dark lonely feeling definitely was Taxi Driver esque
Brilliant film, criminally underrated
Totally great script insights on certain facets of human nature and the actor's performances were brilliant!!!!!!
Huge respect for DeNiro to be so enthusiastic and insistent about doing this role, and fairly early in his career.
Bob De Niro is amazing in this. I forgot that I was watching him. He played the character so well. He wanted to be validated and seen so badly that I felt it.
So underrated. I watched this movie a dozen times. Absolutely brilliant performances as well as written and directed. A true classic movie!!!!
This reminds me of the man who waited so long he forgot what he was waiting for. Great movie.
This movie is brilliant and has become 1,000x more relevant as the years have passed. Cool to see some BTS!
Facts
It's year 2022 and still relevant. Classic movie. People in the 80s didn't appreciate it then, what a shame.
It felt like a movie that shouldn't have come out in 1982 along with E.T. and Poltergeist. This belonged in 1978.
❤❤❤@@elbob17
Watched this for the first time tonight. It was absolutely brilliant.
Late to the party but glad I got here eventually.
God I'd love to experience it like that again. As much as I love the movie and watch it at least twice a year, it's that first time that I wish I could experience again. And even moreso with Goodfellas. Coming out of the theatre after a Scorsese movie makes me feel like I'm in a dream sequence or something.
@@Genious. wish I’d got to see it in a theatre to be fair. That would have been very cool.
King if comedy surprised me.
After hours is one I’d like to watch when I get the chance. Apparently it’s quite good too
Bringing out the dead is underrated also.
My first girlfriend was a huge Sandra Bernhard fan and she showed this film to me. I was blown away by it. Decades later I’m glad this film is taking its place as one of Scorsese’s best.
" tonight, i think anything could happen " by Masha is also said by Rosanna Arquette in After Hours. Same big Evening by same Martin Scorsese.
"I don't know if a film like the king of comedy could ever be made today"- almost 40 yrs later the premise is ripped off for joker lmao
Interesting that Robert de Niro agreed to be in that rip off as you call it. I'd say it was hugely inspired by the King of Comedy. Anyway, Joker got so much backlash from the sensitive crowds that are trying to control media these days. They were paranoid that a copy cat would try to emulate Joker and commit acts of violence. If they tried to make this movie today, those same people would call for it to be cancelled because the protagonist psychotically kidnapped someone and held him hostage. Protagonists these days have to be squeaky clean role models that are representative of today's laundry list of demographics that are pandered to by corporations and Hollywood.
@@richardwagon6433 send your essay to your actual teacher my nigga
@@brentcampbell6788 LMFAOOOOO
Great minds think alike
@@arnoldjack7956 except you can see some of the scenes directly taken from this movie. It wasn’t parallel thinking, it was direct copying
This film obviously had a huge influence on Joker.
I loved this little doc. What a masterpiece of a film! I can watch it over & over again & still see new, fresh details in it. And Sandra Bernhard was really funny & honest, especially about the gentrification of the city.
What about her has to do with gentrification?
This is my favourite film. De Niro plays me. I've never forgiven him, but my day will also come.
So, who are you kidnapping, Cobart or Fallen? Leno or Letterman?
A masterpiece!!
This movie is a masterpiece along with Taxi Driver like this behind the scenes video.
Great subtle performance from DeNiro.
It’s like watching Taxi Driver, The Fan and Joker all in one. Just watched it yesterday after some comments people were making in regards to who Jerry Lewis was in real life on a different thread.
The Fan is terrible. No where near as good as the old Scorcese/De Niro films.
Elvis Presley once said you cannot live up to an image this film was 20 years ahead of its time
Catherine was great Marty....as she was in Goodfellas 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your Mum ❤
4:29,I lived in NYC for a few years and was outside watching them film that scene,all the people outside standing are actually just people but anybody walking by is an actor, they just stand there and when the scene starts they start walking.
My friends at the time really hated the movie, but within a year and several viewings they came to adore it.
It's funny how that can sometimes happen. I hated, and I mean I REALLY Hated Fargo the first time I saw it. Mainly because the accents drove me up the wall. But I watched it a second time and it went into my top 20 favorite movies.
Same with my friends but once they came around we were all relieved I could finally untie them and let them go back to their families.
THANK YOU so much for uploading this Featurette for us! This film is one of my all time favourites.
In my top 5 favorite movies of all time with The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Dr. Strangelove, No Country for Old Men and Jaws. I don’t have a particular order😂
Rupert Pupkin is the original David Brent and Michael Scott lol
One of my favorite movies first watch…perfection👌🏾
Sandra Burnhart put up the BEST acting I have ever seen in this movie, and I am an officianado. It is a crime that they didn’t make a sequel, this time centering in her. She’s a phenomenal, one-of-a-kind actor.
Her character being released from prison?
When i first saw this movie, I thought the straight face of Jerry Lewis the whole movie was comedy.
I'm obsessed with this film! I mean oops! Seriously, I have been watching it in the last few months and it's grossly underrated Martin Scorsese film.
Masha's character was brilliantly acted; a sense of real craziness...off the wall and completely nuts.Sandra Bernhart is a brilliant actress/performer.
The 80's almost killed cinema. This remains one of Martin's best.
i understand this film slightly different from what Martin Scorsese explained here lol
this was exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see after watching the movie... interestingly, I just read in IMDB's trivia section "Jerry Lewis suggested that his character be killed by Rupert at the end of the film, but Martin Scorsese rejected his idea." Being at the climax of the film, I wonder if Joker would've still murdered Deniro had Deniro murdered Jerry Lewis or whether Joker would've been forced to do something else for fear of similarity
Great stuff
This film showed Scorsese's range as a director. When you think about Martin Scorsese movies, the 1st thing to come to your mind is the mafia, and blood shootin' out everywhere gratuitously. So when I watched this for the first time like,...ten years ago, I went in EXPECTING to see some1 get whacked and lots of blood Lol
ever see last temptation of christ, age of innocence, or silence?
@@plasticweapon No
@@LilAlpo1 then you still haven't seen his range.
Yes, loved this video that says it all. One of my favorite movies. It will become a cult movie. It already has in my opinion.
Great movie.
I don't understand why it was classed as a flop. I enjoyed it and thought it was really funny😂
cuz it did terrible at the box office in 1983
It wasn't meant to be funny.
@@joedicesare6295 it’s cringey funny and Rupert is pretty funny but when you really think about it I feel sad for him.. he needed help.
@@joedicesare6295 In a dark comedy, satire way, sure it was. There's some funny bits in it for sure.
This movie was heat definitely underrated I feel his pain lol
Top Three MS films imo. Oh how I regret lending this dvd to a friend and, bye bye KOC!!!
😔
Things Sandra Bernhard claims:
* Scorsese was sexually attracted to her crazy personality
* Other directors didn't hire her because they were intimidated by her acting prowess
* She alone is responsible for her future roles she forced to happen when the entire industry had it out for her
Mmmmmmmkay. Clearly she was born to play the role of Masha.
She's such a troll 😂
When she says she never got another role like this except for the ones she created herself, I believe she may be talking about her one woman shows that she wrote.
I did not quite get what you got out of her commentary.
Thanks for putting this out - I watched it from the library DVD a couple years ago , I think . I gotta get a copy myself - wonder if it's on BlueRay ?
Did you get a blue ray???
Yeah, try Amazon. You can get 2 blu rays for £13 if you are an Amazon Prime member
@@stillben Not yet - It's next on the top of my list !!
It's free now lol on yt
I'm Rupert Pupkin over Sandra Bernhard in this movie. Just love her to death.
Is anybody here able to shed some light on how Masha lived in an expensive townhouse in New York? Was she married to a rich guy?
Rich parents, more likely.
i have somewhat of a "query": is martin scorsayzee (score says e) a Italian?
Sandra Bernhardt was so Michael Hutchence in that movie.
My mom and I both loved this back in 1985 or so on HBO...she thought Sandra Bernard was great in this...I loved that Jerry Lewis played a serious role.
2:12
And then Joker remade this movie shamelessly and not half as good
Remember me from the jojo rabbit episodes ?
17:28
Did Mr de Niro mean to drop the revolver into the gutter just before he bundles Jerry into the Merc...was this a genuine mistake or planned...? For me this is so funny and typical of that character...the scene is made by the pistol fumble!!!!!
Also wondering about the butler having trouble opening the door, then Jerry saying "Open the fu**ing door. It takes you 8 minutes to open the door?" Sounds more like Jerry Lewis than his character.
@@sp-yj5wr Don't know..perhaps google it. This movie can be watched many times ;each time a new facet.
Can’t believe Scorsese ripped off the Joker.
This is a joke, right?
17:30
Predicted the rise of the twitch thot
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez is desperately trying to figure out how to never take a shit again. She’s collaborating with Beyoncé.
They were jealous of the Jerry character. They didn't respect him. They were of the mind set that they were as good as Jerry, therefore jealous of his massive success. Great movie, but then aren't all of Scorcess' movies?
I broke down and watched this movie, after purposely avoiding it for decades, for the lone reason that anything with DeNiro could not possibly be terrible. It took me probably 15 minutes to begin to get into it but I ended up just loving it. Naturally DeNiro was fabulous as the passive-aggressive lunatic but Bernhard was the ideal 3rd character. An equally pathetic wannabe with boundless energy. Bottom line, a great film in my opinion, with Jerry Lewis playing the "straight man".
