city slickers go out of town. brazilian couple forces their way into the trip. traffic or construction or their faulty hi-tech car forces them off their path and into some podunk hell hole. they run a stop sign and john candy (police) chases them. uses gadgets to force them to dan akroyd's house of horrors. he runs the town. they have a dinner (i remember the train carrying hot dogs?) but then try to flee? he's got the whole place boobytrapped. oh and john candy plays dan akryod's daughter too, he's in drag. then it's just gimmick gimmick gimmick (cool traps if u like that stuff) and a dumb twist ending. tupac is in it he sings for digital underground lol (yes this is really in the movie). that is all i remember
Naa, the movie has a great concept; family of landed gentry no longer has wealth but clings to the little bit of power they still have. The twist at the end is too often ignored.
I'm actually kind of surprised by how much I detest that movie. More than "yeah, it's really not very good," I find it legitimately, viscerally repulsive, but I can't quite place why.
There were a ton of movies in the 90s and early 00s with good casts that ended up absolutely terrible. Often SNL alumni. Either because they were written by hacks, or they actually were written by the comedians and it turned out they didnt know how to write a script.
It was over 1000 pages or something insane with detailed backstories of every character who had lines. Dan Aykroyd is an idiot savant who needed handlers to pare down his ideas to their core and trim the fat. I believe the script for Ghostbusters was similarly crazy until Ramis took a look at it.
Wasn't Aykroyd diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome later in life (this was still when Asperger's a recognisably distinct disorder)?

I never remember reading that but it could have happened. All this diagnosis stuff is overblown anyways. He's clearly just an intelligent, eccentric man who probably wrote with a lot of coke and nicotine like Stephen King and Aykroyd is way more normal and well adjusted than King ever was.

Just doctor shop and pay them to diagnose you with whatever you want to be, especially if you are as rich as Aykroyd..
It was based on some strange experiece Dan's brother had. they must had thought it was hillarious but obviously had some inside humour poorly translated in to film. Its not a bad movie but overall forgettable.
Saw it but don't remember it too well. So weird to have seen so many films over the years and forgetting them, its for the best obviously but its interesting how you can know you saw something, more than once a lot of the time but the details escape memory.
i know the feeling, theres shit i saw only a year or two ago and sometimes ill rewatch it now and its completely new to me id forgotten so much of it. meanwhile theres stuff i havent watched since i was a kid that i still remember almost of all to this day, nothing sticks with me like it used to the older i get
Didn't Basinger show breasts there? I remember some vaseline lit scene where she had either a white shirt or a white gown or something.
And I think she saved the girl from a car crash with her alien purse.
my parents tricked me into thinking we rented a Bugs Bunny cartoon tape when they got this instead
the judge, his house, and especially the roller coaster scared the absolute shit out of me
but the scene where the fat chick strips got me strangely aroused
im not into fat chicks though
just the first time i saw someone strip even if it was behind a cover
This is one of my top litmus test films. If you don't like this movie I immediately put you on a mental kill list and if civilization ever collapses I will hunt you down and stab you with a spear.

i dont know why Neighbors (the final Aykroyd and Belushi movie) was so hated, i love that one. its weird as frick and not predictable like most comedies because of its "WTFness and Twilight Zone-esque tone throughout the whole time
oh yeah i remember realizing that too the last time i watched it, she was playing Belushi's rebellious daughter in it. she was also in another slasher I used to watch as a kid, Girls Nite Out, where she played basically a more loose version of her F13 character
>i dont know why Neighbors (the final Aykroyd and Belushi movie) was so hated
They both went against character and kind of sucked at it, nobody sees Aykroyd as a bad boy tough guy and nobody wanted to see Belushi as the straight guy, he always excelled at being the unhinged maniac.
Chevy seemed to be sleepwalking through this movie and couldnt hide how disinterested he seemed to be the whole time lol was probably doing it as a favor to Danny
its part of the charm. hes riffing every 20 seconds in some scenes and its all lazy nonsense.
comedy central, if it even still exists, used to play this constantly. same with transylvania 6-5000, uhf, that movie with val kilmer as a spy, and many others. a based time in tv history. i JO'd all the time to tonya's bathing scene in beastmaster which tbs superstation always played. double JOs to agutter in logans run, another tbs staple. kids these days are missing out.
those of the days of Comedy Central I miss the most when they just played nonstop bad 80s and 90s comedies, they introduced to so many of that kinda shit i never woulda saw otherwise as a kid
lel same i swear this and Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School were on every afternoon at one point usually after the millionth early 90s SNL and Kids in the Hall reruns. damn we didnt know how good we used to have it, now all that channel shows is non-stop Office reruns, at least they used to have more variety with the kind of stuff they'd show reruns of during the daytime hours
not having a preprogrammed stream of random movies to turn on at any time is social glue we didnt know we needed. theres no way to find gems as a zoomer unless some yt streamer you like talks about it or you stumble onto a niche list. comedy centrals deep archive of comedies. tbs schlock. 3 am skinemax post-softcore porn movie action flick starring michael pare. the movie nemesis is on showtime. millions of others enjoying it at the same time.

yeah I've noticed that, even all the movie channels dont show that obscure shit much anymore. IFC was another good one in the old days before they had commercials. the closest we had to a channel showing decent shit in recent years was TCM and now they're going to shit too, especially after they got rid of the TCM Underground block earlier this year.

i remember Comedy Central even showing John Waters movies sometimes like at 3AM, heavily edited of course but still pretty cool for cable standards. not Pink Flamingos of course dont think all the editing in the world would allow that on cable, some of the tamer ones like Hairspray, Serial Mom and and CryBaby
IFC used to show John Waters movies uncensored, even Pink Flamingos.
i remember them always showing the Porkys movies and even as a kid i thought they were lame
tho they did introduce me to Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer, which i would watch everytime they showed it, also the Revenge of the Nerds movie they played those alot too, they were kino as frick

Thanks to the persuasive coach speech, I am still convinced that if feet touch your balls of if you touch your balls after feet, your balls will fall off.
>I liked this grotesque movie with a stupid plot and unlikeable characters
Yes you've really impressed the other losers on this board with such an eccentric taste, too bad that didn't translate to box office earnings.
speaking of Aykroyd and movies they used to show on Comedy Central, i remember seeing this one on there a lot in the old days and i used to like it, ill have to give that one a rewatch i forgot a lot of it, i think it was Aykroyd stealing Charles Grodin's identity and pretending to be some famous shrink something like that, it was fun from my vague memories of it. and Walter Matthau was some crazy guy or something, i think threatening to expose Aykroyd as a phoney
one of the worst films of all-time. fans will talk about the sets and the costumes... they won't mention the dialogue or the plot
That’s because nobody remembers the plot. It’s something like “they’re trapped in town and the judge is a bad dude”.
city slickers go out of town. brazilian couple forces their way into the trip. traffic or construction or their faulty hi-tech car forces them off their path and into some podunk hell hole. they run a stop sign and john candy (police) chases them. uses gadgets to force them to dan akroyd's house of horrors. he runs the town. they have a dinner (i remember the train carrying hot dogs?) but then try to flee? he's got the whole place boobytrapped. oh and john candy plays dan akryod's daughter too, he's in drag. then it's just gimmick gimmick gimmick (cool traps if u like that stuff) and a dumb twist ending. tupac is in it he sings for digital underground lol (yes this is really in the movie). that is all i remember
The film's hilarious, you got filtered.

Black person watch a LOT less youtube, get one of those apps that locks you out of using youtube for more than an hour a day.
>one of the worst films of all-time.
This. There's not much good in it except for the rollercoaster scene. At least the movie ends.
Naa, the movie has a great concept; family of landed gentry no longer has wealth but clings to the little bit of power they still have. The twist at the end is too often ignored.
It may have been a great concept, but it was executed badly to say the least.
Yeah there was no blue laser at the end, I get it zoomer.
I'm 45.
That movie is kino, don't know what you're on about.
I'm actually kind of surprised by how much I detest that movie. More than "yeah, it's really not very good," I find it legitimately, viscerally repulsive, but I can't quite place why.
Because you're leftist at heart.
I ask that any time Dan Aykroyd does something.
that cast on paper doesn't seem too bad at all though.
he was one of the best ever on SNL. up there with Hartman, Belushi, Murphy and Farley.
There were a ton of movies in the 90s and early 00s with good casts that ended up absolutely terrible. Often SNL alumni. Either because they were written by hacks, or they actually were written by the comedians and it turned out they didnt know how to write a script.
Don't talk shit about Dragnet.
He had other people to reign in his craziness on SNL. If you leave him to his own devices you end up with the OP and Blues Brothers 2000.
Don't forget the original script to Blues Brother. The direct had to cut the majority of it out.
It was over 1000 pages or something insane with detailed backstories of every character who had lines. Dan Aykroyd is an idiot savant who needed handlers to pare down his ideas to their core and trim the fat. I believe the script for Ghostbusters was similarly crazy until Ramis took a look at it.
I think his brain is just a giant ball of cocaine.
Wasn't Aykroyd diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome later in life (this was still when Asperger's a recognisably distinct disorder)?

or Doctor Detroit.
PUT OUT THAT DOG ROCKET!
He was following his heart.
I watched it drunk and had a good time.
he wanted to have fun
It's fun
Dan ACKroid
Why did he have a dick nose?
*squints and takes a long drag*
dan aykroyd has always been the only acceptable boomer
UAPs are black project cover and Akroyd is a government shill
It's one of the funniest movies of all time. Midwits will never understand it.
I remember watching this movie as a child and remembering it as a fever dream. It was so crazy looking.
City slickers (communists) deserve what they get
City Slickers was Billy Crystal, not Dan Aykroyd
Man I rewatched City Slickers and it's just depression fodder.
He called them bankers, not city slickers, he hated bankers because they tried to take his house away when it belonged to his parents.
Fricking loved this trash. Ripper rollercoaster. Wasn’t tupac in this?
>Wasn’t tupac in this?
digital underground lol
Kino random as frick cameo, RIP HUMPTY AND 2PAC
Fricking bop. I think the judge spared them because that one guy had a fricked up nose too.
he just watched
Texas chain saw massacre
He was thinking
>I'm going to make certified kino which filters OP
and succeeded completely
I feel like if he had gone the full distance and added actual gore with more gross humor it could have worked.
First 2Pac credit for the tie-in rap video, it's not nothing
dude with a penis nose and two diaper-clad adult-size twin monster babies? sign me the frick up
it's obviously some strange parody of TCM
pure kino
He was thinking “I’m gonna make the best kino of all time”
>I don't give two fricks, but that motherfricker's nose is NOT real!
Filtered
Demi Moore was nut-bustingly hot during this era
I wanted Bobo and Lil Debil to rape her to death.
It was based on some strange experiece Dan's brother had. they must had thought it was hillarious but obviously had some inside humour poorly translated in to film. Its not a bad movie but overall forgettable.
it is absolutely a bad movie and it is absolutely unforgettable
Forgettable? If anything that's the one quality everyone agrees this movie doesn't have.
Aykroyd always seemed to take more chances on weird ass shit moreso than most SNL stars of the 80s
who else remembers this kino?
alien purse creature? yep... im definitely watching an Aykroyd movie
Did they just reuse Flight of the Navigator props?
Saw it but don't remember it too well. So weird to have seen so many films over the years and forgetting them, its for the best obviously but its interesting how you can know you saw something, more than once a lot of the time but the details escape memory.

Aykroyd was good as infusing comedy with nightmare fuel
he said in an interview that he went on a complete coke binge and woke up a few days later and discovered he had written Ghostbusters
