THESE ARE THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING!!! God you just know how to make my weekends, thanks boo!
Hi Gay!
I was gagged the whole time! Goldie walking around looking like Jessica Rabbit! 😫
Maybe one day...you'll make it over to my crummy little channel...* Le sigh*
Lmao Almost thought this was Zzavid for a min
BOO PLEASE REACT TO THIS MOVIE!!!! 🙏🏽😩
One of my favourite movie scenes comes from this movie. And i still believe it was a blooper.
When Isabella Rossilini askes "Guess how old i am!" and Maryl answers "38?!" .... That look on Isabella Rossilinis face is priceless, that shock was real and you can tell. Rossilini was 37 during filming ... i think Maryl was supposed to say a different age, but it came out and Isabella was cought by surprise
One of my very favorite movies! Best line, when Madeline says to Helen, "And I can see right through you!"
That was a good one!
"my ass!" is my new favorite.
When I was a kid raised in an anti gay household i loved this movie and didnt realize until i grew up and came out that all the gays loved it too
I saw this movie 5 times in the theater summer of '92. I went alone the opening weekend then went again the second time with 3 friends because all characters reminded me of people in my life at the time. Next 3 times we took more people until the 5th time the theater was completely filled with our group. I LOVE this movie
It's literally the meaning of camp and I loved it growing up. So fun! Bruce, Meryl and Goldie owned these roles and the chemistry between them all is potent.
Isabella Rossellini in this movie didn't make me a lesbian, but lord did she contribute to me slipping further down the slippery slope of sapphism. Honestly its incredible how much of an impression she made in a movie starring Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep. That's a hell of an accomplisment!
Oh I can't think of a single other person that could have been swapped out. Everyone in this was perfectly cast in their roles.
@@nicksaysboo17 Isabella Rossellini was 40 when filmed this
@@hazhoner5727 really? wow she looked amazeing to say the least
Weirdly watched this as a kid and finding out tons of people never seen it. Watching it as an adult I wonder why my parents let me watch it but it's so fun and campy I love it.
Literally the same experience. This movie and She-devil were two of my favorite movies as a kid (coincidentally both featuring Meryl Streep) that molded my campy gay self.
my sis and I also watched this as kids and watching it as adults it´s another level, there was so many little jokes you don´t get as a kid...well, you are not supposed to, I guess...lol
It's a bit like Legend (1985) , a movie that seems to have been kinda forgotten about.
This, I used to watch this all the time as a kid and laughing at the zombies. As an adult I'm like, damn those ladies are fine as well but is still funny
AYYYYY SAME!! My Mom had me watch it when I was pretty young and I'm so glad she did because it's so iconic, it's shocking how many people have not see a lot of these kinds of movies/classics!
Meryl can sing. It's her real voice. Please also watch Mamma Mia! The Movie 2008, Into The Wood 2014, Ricki and Flash 2015, The Prom 2020.
I'll add em to the list!
Meryl read the script signed for it and then found out they wanted her for the Madeline part instead of Helen... so she was a bit scared to sing but she nailed it.
she was also a front runner for Evita, Madonna campaigned heavily to win the role
If you saw the raw footage clips from "Into the Woods" you'd realize that she sounds almost nothing like we hear in the film. Someone posted to TH-cam a daily from filming and her voice is hoarse and deep. I tried to find the clip but it's been removed apparently. Her voice is actually short of close to what she sound like in this film, but worse. Autotune does wonders.
And Postcards from the Edge 😉
Meryl Streep is a great singer irl. She was fantastic in Mamma Mia. This film was a guilty pleasure when I was younger, and now I appreciate it for so many other reasons. And I spot something new with each viewing. Such an underrated little gem... the effects, for the time.
Sigh, 30 year anniversary this year for Death Becomes Her. I remember being SO EXCITED for it to be released... yes I'm old.
Another movie for you to check out, if you haven't already, is She-Devil.
I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
YES! She-Devil is so good, too!
yes to both
Yes! I thought I was the only one who associated she devil with this movie, but they just have that same dark and campy sense of humor (and both have Meryl Streep being as iconic as ever)
@@HorrorLover, Roseanne Barr was iconic in She-Devil...
Omg this is one of my personal favorite movies!! I remember it being so weird but enjoyable and such a fun time overall glad you decided to watch it!!
I waited far too long to watch this!
"Now a warning?!" Love this film!
“NOW a warning?!” My favorite line from this movie. 😂
This movie was my childhood. I had no hope of being straight XD
the funniest part to me is when she pulls meryl along with her at the end and she makes a ghoul/zombie sound "ehhhhhgh" as they go down the steps ...she had been living dead for so long she started sounding like a zombie lol
This is my all time favorite movie! I just love *everything* about it!!
Anyway, here a couple answers/corrections to things most first time viewers are confused over.
1. Hellen id actually eating that icing in the plastic tub in the scene where she gets forcibly removed from her nasty ass apartment.
2. I _believe_ that Hellen is just blowing air from a fancy bottle into her eyes to get herself to cry. (So you were right about that one! I just wanted to add that I’m pretty sure that it’s just air that she’s using!)
All-in-all, excellent reaction!!
One of my favorites ever! And your reaction to it was just perfect. I used to watch this as a kid in the 90s and pretend to be Isabella Rossellini (because of course I would). I love introducing people to this one, it's always fun and good for a laugh. It's also good seeing Bruce Willis' return to comedy in this after so many action flicks.
Bruce Willis is an icon! I should watch Did Hard today. Yes. Yes I should.
I was 4 years old when I watched the movie for the first time(1995).And it traumatised me.😅 the ending did
This video deserves more views for the edit alone.
21:18
Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo! Brilliant casting! I was happy to see they all came "out of retirement" to do this film! 😂
7:24
Ernest most likely lost his license due to his drinking problem.(or like you mentioned that he screwed up one of his patients.)
Ernest is most likely a reconstructive mortician
They work on any harsh conditions that effect the deceased person in question.
Like discoloration, broken bones, missing hair(when I say missing hair I mean ripped out or burned off. I don’t think he would need to cover up a bald spot unless it’s what the family/ closest contact of that person wanted.), etc.
For example the man he worked on earlier in the film had an expression of happiness froze on his face and was a blue-grayish color. So Ernest would’ve had to paint the man the skin color he was when he was alive and relax the face muscle to where they could look presentable for his funeral.
In a way it’s a lot like plastic surgery, except replace the pulse with rigor-mortis.
I remember my grandma showed all us granddaughters this movie one sleep over night. Still such a great movie, now that I understand all the jokes
Ok, this is one of my all time favorites. I deadass watched this (& First Wives Club) every week when I was around 10-16 lol. It’s absolutely fabulous. Goldie, Meryl & Bruce turned the mf party in this movie!
Oh they turned it TF out in this!
@@nicksaysboo17 absolutely. Just simply iconic lol. I had literally just rewatched this last week 😂 I’m so happy you finally watched it
Goldie Hawn Isabella Rossellini and Meryl Streep are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous in this movie! This is a classic one of my favorites❤❤
Fun fact: The fabulous Lady Gaga vampire lady is played by Isabella Rossellini. She's Ingrid Bergman's daughter, of Casablanca fame.
This movie is all Hollywood royalty. 🌟
I’ve heard Lady Gaga is going to play her in the remake.
OMG MY FAVORITE!!! Honeyyyyy this movie has lines I say to this DAY 20 years later. THESE ARE THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING!!!"
People really seem to love it!
You should watch "She Devil" also a great Meryl Streepe movie
I'll add it to the list!
"This is my future!" Mine too...
🤣
the potion keeps you immortal and young, all of the clients are still living. but if you die, it keeps your soul trapped in a decaying body. oh, and the cross on the potion box is an ankh, an egyptian symbol of life.
The truth is there aren't many movies like this. Whenever I see a film tagged as dark comedy I hoping to get something like this and I never do. I guess this level of camp funny horror it's only in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and not much else. And yes, of course is Meryl singing, she sang in Postcards from the edge (1990), A prairie home companion, Mamma Mia! (2008), Into the woods (2014), etc.
I don't think that was a crucifix, looked like an Ankh, mystical egyptian symbol of eternal life...
Oh maybe!
Isabella Rossellini as the immortal
Goddess was the perfect casting choice
Yes, she is a singer. Just a couple: she sang in Mamma Mia and Into the Woods. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. Ages like fine wine ❤
This guy with his balls to his knees at 54 loves this movie. Just started a new chapter of my life and loving being in love again.
Love that journey for you! Balls deserve love regardless of how low they hang! 💛
Exactly! 🤩
The celebrity party with James, Andy, Marilyn, Jim, Gretta, etc, was a zombie party, they were all dead, and Lisle was going to make Ernest Forever Young so they would have someone to do the upkeep.
Oh, and when Helen barged into the operating room when Ernest was mid-cut, was when Ernest lost his license from malpractice.
Mad’s eyes were probably as white as Helen’s at some point after she died, but Ernest was able to paint Madelyn’s and later Helen’s eyes to look more lifelike. Maybe dying in the pool caused Helen’s eyes to look different, who knows?
yah thats what i thought too..maybe some chemical in the pond from having been cleaned or something
I'd only agree to live forever if I could ascend into an being of pure energy that can observe with one companion of my choice to share with.
The symbol at 10:07 is actually an ancient Egyptian ankh. Isabella Rosellini's character was originally supposed to be Cleopatra! I really wish they had stuck with that.
Yes, Meryl’s really singing!
This movie is so damn funny!!! I wish I could experience it again for the first time, so thank you for letting me do that via your reaction!!!!! Such an underrated movie!
One of my childhood favorites! 🖤
It was so fun!
This movie is quintessential and subgenre defining (in my honest opinion) Dark Comedy. You have to be in a certain mood in order to enjoy it.
Fun Fact: Isabella Rossellini used a body double for her nude scene in this film. The body double that stood in for her is Catherine Bell. Interestingly, a couple of years earlier, Rossellini did her own nude scenes in the film, Blue Velvet (1986).
Bonus Fact: In several scenes toward the end of the film, references to deceased musicians and actors are visible. When Bruce Willis's character, Ernest Menville, falls through the glass roof and lands in the pool, Jim Morrison can clearly be seen with a girl. Later on, an extra playing James Dean turns around (with his signature hairdo) as Ernest steals his Grey Spider. During the big welcome address at the ball, Elvis Presley is scolded for making random public appearances, an urban myth long-held by his fans that think he's still alive but hiding from the public eye.
Death Becomes Her is one of my all time favorite movies!! I highly recommend Drop Dead Gorgeous if you haven’t seen it! It’s Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Denise Richards, Amy Adams, Alison Janey and Brittany Murphy in a Minnesota Beauty pageant. It’s a dark comedy and it’s amazing!
My buddies recently showed me that for the first time! It was great!
I'm writing that Universal Pictures should give Death Becomes Her a special Blu-ray release that would include all 25 deleted scenes that were cut from the film and including the film's original Switzerland alternate ending as special features.
Call me an old soul, but I’ve watched and adored this movie ever since I a little girl…like 6!
''Ooohhh looks as though she's lost a few poun...WE'RE LEAVING!!' 😆😂
LOVING the content, just saw yer channel! Kept me in-stitches through Clue, as well. Fabulous, subscribed!
Hilarious reaction! Thanks! And you used one of my favorite Cordelia lines! ❤️
#Cordy4EVR
That just made my day! As a teen, I was obsessed with Goldie Hawn. Ever seen Housesitter?
I have not! Any good?
@@nicksaysboo17 Hilarious and fabulous!!! Godie Hawn and Steve Martin gold! You'd love it. 😏
Hahah loved that you reacted to this one. It’s as chaotic as my life 😂
Chaos can be fun!
I haven't seen this movies in years. Watching this video before bed gave me some good laughs! Especially when you threw in that Glenda clip!
Yeah idk wtf was going on with his eye 👀
10:00 “This is giving me straight…” You could’ve ended the sentence right there, we know you’re straight for these women 😂😂😂
i love finding people reacting to this film! its my number one favorite ever
"is that fucking Goldi Hawn?" Lolol
Please react to Clue, But I'm a cheerleader, Jawbreaker, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Ginger Snaps and Soapdish!!!
Great suggestions, thank you! I'll add the ones I haven't seen to the list!
Drop Dead Gorgeous!!! 🥰
Jawbreaker yesss
Notice how Helen and Madeline's nicknames for one another are "Mad" and "Hell"? Thought that was interesting
I'm glad you were able to see this film for the first time. I was fifteen when it came out and I though the premise was quirky, but I like dark comedies like this. It does indeed hold up thirty years later and somehow it's more relevant today than it was in '92, with how we view celebrity culture.
It's one of my all time favourite films! I assumed everyone had seen it. Isabella Rossellini is so captivating, but I was always team Madeline.. Streep fever started young! I was 8 when it came out, I had to wait for it on VHS and then I wore the tape out 😂
If you wanna hear Meryl Streep sing watch Into the Woods! Such a fun musical
This was originally going to be a "Tales From the Crypt" project. All the hallmarks are there: dark comedy mixed with horror themes, A-list actors playing against type, soundtrack by Allen Silvestri, involvement of Robert Zemeckis.
5:30 The "IS IT UP YET?" thing came back later in a deleted scene when Ernest has fallen asleep on the couch and it's next morning.
The maid Rose comes into the kitchen to prep Madeline's tray but she sees racks and food everywhere... then finds Madeline in the fridge... Madeline is pissed and stuck (with icicle's on her brows) then tells Rose to close the door.
Rose is baffled and runs to Ernest who is waking up... Rose: Dr Menville! Ernest: Morning Rose... is IT up yet? Rose: Yes sir, IT's in the fridge!!!
Ernest jumps up... makes something up that it's a new beauty treatment Madeline read about in a magazine. He rips her from the fridge and tells her to look alive as if she was doing some beauty treatment. Put some avocado on your face or something!!!
Ernest tries to fire Rose and gives her an envelope but Rose doesn't trust it and tries to take the alcohol bottle from Ernest. Then Madeline comes 'walking' all crackling... into the livingroom and goes: See all fine! While she tries to wave with her broken hand (she has ovenmits on).
Ernest gets Rose out of the house and tells Madeline they can't be busted and he has to make her presentable.
He pulls her up the stairs (I'm sweaty! No dear, I think you're defrosting!) and Madeline has a meltdown... but Ernest promises he will make her his masterpiece.
Then the scene with her being painted starts...
Check the theatrical trailer for some shots of this scene. That trailer was made before the movie was changed radically but why they removed this hilarious scene is beyond me. The ending was actually filmed only 3 weeks before release!
Literally my fav movie of all time!
So glad you reacted to it
It's going into the power rotation from here in out!
So according to Goldie Hawn the orginal ending had the girls looking all young and beautiful still, and they see Earnest all old and happy with a new wife and kids. And Madeline is all “isn’t that pitiful, look how old they are. Aren’t you glad we’re not them” And Helen replies “yes” in a sad tone because she doesn’t mean it.
I watched this with my parents on Request pay per view channel 😂 we connected a phone line to our satellite reciever to make ordering easier because my dad liked boxing pay per views.
7:29 Because his hands shake and he can't hold his scalpel steady. If you notice when he's throwing his knives, his hand trembles. And then in the end when he throws the knives to turn the lights off, it's the hand Liza put the potion into to demonstrate its power 20:37
I first saw this movie when I was like 4 and watched it many times. I’m 24 now and I never noticed the celebrities at the party who seemed to have also took the potion until you pointed it out. I’m in shock lol
One of my first favorite movies. I remember watching this when I was young and thinking it was fantastic!
Finally! This movie deserves attention!
Glad you enjoyed it!
FYI vampires are the ones with fangs who suck blood and can’t go out in daylight
In my opinion, death becomes her is one of the funniest horror comedy movies.
Omg this is one of my favorite movies ever I love this movie 💗👑💗 I love it it's iconic also the effects for 1992 are better than some we have today I mean amazing
💗 💗 💗
It was super fun! Glad I watched!
The nuns in the hallway always reminds me of the nun scene in High Spirits lol
"Not the Resident Evil dogs" and then the Alice clip!? I SPIT-ROASTED the subscribe button, gorl!
WHALECUM TO THE CLUB
10:11 darling, that is not a crusifix, that is an ankh. It's an Egyptian symbol. And it symbolises life. As well as the balance between feminine and masculine, but in this context, I would say it's there because the life symbolism.
Yes Meryl Streep can sing.. and she was for a moment or two considered for the role of Evita.. that ultimately went to Madonna.. when the idea of a motion picture of the Broadway Musical was being batted around back in the late 70's and early 80's...
Also, the nurse that tells Ernest that Madilyn was taken to the morgue... Is the same one that plays the role of "Patty" in Elvira: Mistress of the Dark...
This edit has my ass CRYING 😂😂😂😂
This one is an all time favorite of mine. I never get tired of watching it. Drowning Mona comes to mind as being another campy dark comedy that I thought was pretty underrated. Of course, Drop Dead Gorgeous has to be mentioned as well.
I very much enjoy that you have skulls and a pumpkin out during April. Literally me.
The Halloween decor stays up in my house 365 days a year 🎃
Really sad to hear the news about Bruce Willis. I saw this when it was released and I'd forgotten how stunning Meryl Streep was !
I was heartbroken to learn about the dementia 😢
You’d enjoy Overboard with Goldie Hawn too if you like this type of campy movie 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I've heard of that! I'll add it to the list!
The reason that audience at the beginning was so disgusted was because "Songbird!" was a musicalized version of Tennessee Williams' VERY serious play "Sweet Bird of Youth". Not exactly appropriate material for a musical, much less one with Meryl singing disco style!
Love this movie such a classic! Love the video as always!❤
Oh mhay ghod I lost my shit when you put the Alice kicking the zombie dogs clip from resident evil. Milla Jovovich is such a bad ass queen in that role. Also I too was convinced that meryl streep drank that elixir shit, the queen looks the same to this day.
Alice is THAT girl!
Goldie is EPIC! in this :)
Iconic how you say Isabella was giving you Countess from AHS, because they’re saying Gaga is going to play that role in the Death Becomes Her remake!
lord, why are they remaking this? 🙃
@@nicksaysboo17 Hollywood ran out of ideas. They’re saying Anne Hathaway is playing Meryl Streep’s character and Goldie Hawn’s daughter is playing her character.
I'm reacting to this movie with but not on your youtube channel but on another app and I love it you pick the greatest things to watch love ya nick 😁😁😁🤩🤩🤩
thank you so much nick
What in the Jill Roberts is this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am deceased. Death became me 💀
Sis was CRACKED
Have you seen Muriel's Wedding? It's a comedy with some dark elements.
Just subscribed 🤗 hi from Puerto Rico
whalecum to the club! 🕺
You are cute and funny! First time viewer and instant subscriber! Keep up the great reviews! #instantfan
I frickin' love this movie!! It's everything! 💗
I was dying! I freakin' LOVE this movie.
You must try "Nothing But Trouble" 1991 - the closest to Addams Family you can find! Stellar cast!
I'll add it to the list!
OMG yes! The movie is my whole sexuality. lol. Such a fun watch.
Great review as always love the clips you throw in, perfection.
Thanks for watching! I do what I can! 💅
I love this movie the acting is amazing. I was in elementary when this movie was made, I love it.
One of my favorite movies ever
This movie is iconic but can we just talk about Isabella??! I replayed her scenes SO a many times. 🤩😻😭🥵
Solid choice, this movies a real gem
I have a theroy as to why the potion they took makes them look young forever. the "witch" they go too is a soul collecting demon who kills the young and beautiful and havests their souls for the potion they need. They are dead eternally, The price both women pay is a steep one. forever beautiful/young on the outside but rock solid on the inside. literally and truly souless too. good job Earnest you lived a good long happy life with true wife and family. He never needed a devil potion to be truly happy.
