John Candy and Tom Hanks Impersonate Swedish Scientists in 1984’s ‘Splash’

By Leave a Comment

There are so many great scenes in 1984’s Splash starring Tom Hanks, John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Daryl Hannah. In one of our favorite scenes in the movie, Tom Hanks and John Candy’s characters impersonate Swedish scientists in order to break into a secret lab where Madison, the Mermaid, played by Daryl Hannah has been taken. Everything was going along as planned until they encounter a security guard who speaks Swedish. The guard starts asking them what they’re doing so far from Sweden, and Freddie Bauer’s (John Candy’s) endless hours of watching adult movies comes in handy as he answers the guard in Swedish with a line he’s heard 1,000 times in the movies.

On January 4, 1989, Bob Saget stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and shared some baby pictures he had bought from an antique store. The store claimed the photos were authentic baby pictures of Johnny, Ed, Doc, and Fred de Cordova, the producer of the show. You’ve got to see the photos to appreciate the bit. Ed’s photo was our personal favorite.

Saget then told a story about having gohers in his backyard and calling up Walter the Gopher man. Throughout the entire interview, Saget had Johnny laughing and smiling, which is what Saget was known for throughout his career. Someone who just wanted to make people laugh and smile.

The Ghostbusters “He Slimed Me” Scene

By Leave a Comment

There are so many awesome scenes from 1984’s Ghostbusters, but one of our absolute favorites is when the Ghostbusters go out on their first call to find a green ghost known as Slimer inhabiting the walls of a hotel. Ray, played by Dan Aykroyd sees chubby, gluttonous Slimer first, but before he can zap him, he vanishes through a wall in the hall, and Venkman, played by Bill Murray is next to see him, but before he can move out of the way, Slimer slams into him. When Ray reaches Venkman, he’s on the ground covered in slime and utters, “He slimed me…” LOL

Superman IV – ‘No Pain, No Gain Gym’ Scene

By Leave a Comment

Superman IV was the last Superman film to feature Christopher Reeve as Superman. It was released to theaters in July 1987. It wasn’t as successful at the box office as the previous films, but there were still so many great scenes in this movie. One of our favorite scenes is when Clark Kent goes to the gym with the new editor of the Daily Planet, Lacy, played by Mariel Hemingway. He does his best to act like he’s a complete wimp until the very end when Lacy is leaving the gym and he chunks a ton of weights over to the jerk in the gym who first told him “No pain, no gain.”

Clint Eastwood in 1988’s ‘The Dead Pool’ – “Do you have any kids, Lieutenant?” Scene

By Leave a Comment

1988’s The Dead Pool was the fifth and final film in the Dirty Harry film series starring Clint Eastwood. All five of the films are classics, and this scene in the final installment is one of our favorites from the movie. In this clip, Harry’s Lieutenant is trying to get Harry to buddy-up to the press, but Harry’s having none of it. Our favorite part of the clip is when Harry asks his Lieutenant if he has any kids, and when he says no, Harry says, “Lucky for them.”

Sidney Poitier and Tom Berenger in ‘Shoot to Kill’ the Bear Scene

We lost another acting legend this week with the passing of Sidney Poitier at the age of 94. Poitier’s first movie was 1947’s Sepia Cinderella where he was an extra in the film. During his acting career, Poitier was the first black person and first Bahamian to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. He received two Academy Award nominations, ten Golden Globes nominations, two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, six BAFTA nominations, eight Laurel nominations, and one Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) nomination.

In 1988, Poitier starred in his first movie in ten years when he teamed up with Tom Berenger in Shoot To Kill, a buddy cop action thriller. In one scene in the movie, Poitier and Berenger’s characters are hiking in the woods and stumble upon a huge bear. I love this scene. It has suspense, drama, and humor. If you’ve never seen this before, I promise you’ll enjoy it.
