10 Things You Didn't Know About GreatOutdoors

[@charlesmocata4845]

Man I miss John Candy. He was naturally funny and seemed like such a genuinely nice guy from what I've seen.

[@derekdavie5142]

Macauly Culkin, who had a special relationship with John Candy, did an interview with John Candy's daughter on Culkin's podcat. John Candy was a wonderful father and person.

[@Warhammered]

Aye, you just don't find 'celebrities' like him these days. Everyone has to be part model, part spokesperson. Probably because of our constant online connection that we didn't have back in the 80's and 90's. It's so invasive, and now 'stars' are all two faced sometimes. Nothing really genuine, all the time.

[@phillytheflyerable]

so warm and gentle

Yep. The world was never the same after Candy died. One of the first celeb deaths that actually got to me. Great guy.

[@Shane-Singleton]

This was one of my dad's favorite movies. I can very vividly remember him laughing so hard he can hardly breathe during the jet boat scene every single time we watched it together which was quite often over the years. I miss Dad, and John Candy.

[@kev3d]

A friend of my Father's, a guy named Bill Clevenger, was a cameraman on this film. When I was a kid, he told stories about John Candy, and how he was the nicest guy. After shooting for the day, Candy would often treat the crew to beers. After I grew up I would go on to work on a few films, and I realized how rare that quality was. Most actors, while not necessarily being dicks or anything, simply retire to their trailer or hotel when the day is done, wanting nothing to do with the "grunts". John Candy was a man of the people.

[@scorpman300]

john always put in his contracts for the things that actors demand that the crew got the same food as the actors. john always looked out for the crew and the younger actors on set. i seen this in a documentary about him. he was one hell of a great guy. there are not too many actors that do these kind of things, most could careless about any crew or anyone other then themselves

[@user-si9fx4xb6v]

Indeed he was, on the set of Stripes (1981) he once cooked a big spaghetti dinner for the cast and crew after a long day of filming. Co-star P.J. Soles said that this greatly impressed her in her interview for the Extended Edition DVD of the film.

[@FrankO-ek1ec]

That’s awesome to hear

[@joltman81]

The is from the "Only the Lonely" wikipedia page: "Co-star Jim Belushi recounted this story: On the set of Only the Lonely, the producers stuck Maureen O’Hara in a tiny trailer. When John Candy complained on her behalf, he was told the budget was being spent on the picture, not on accommodations for old movie stars. Candy responded by giving O'Hara his trailer and going without one until the studio finally caved in and got a trailer for each actor." He always seemed like a guy who cared.

[@gremmiehodad]

Indeed a fantastic guy and man of the people! When my friend and I got to briefly meet John Candy on Clearwater Beach FL when they were filming "Summer Rental" he was very kind! He was hanging out with crew members and their wives and girlfriends drinking beer and telling jokes! They were hanging on his every word! I'll never forget hearing his booming laugh in person ! What a special memory!

Another Star Wars connection: a year earlier John Candy played Barf, a half man half dog (he was his own best friend 🤣) in Spaceballs, Mel Brooks’ spoof of Star Wars.

[@hmh9661]

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles along with The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck are my holy trilogy of comedy films. No matter how many times I watch them they always make me laugh. They are all hilarious, heartwarming, and ever so charming. Also John Candy really did seem like the absolute salt of the earth.

John Candy was by far one of the funniest guys I have seen in films. The laughs were always genuine when it came to his comic delivery. Minty should do a "10 Things You Didn't Know About Cool Runnings" which is one of my favorite movies from the late, great John Candy.

I remember that cartoon fondly, I really wish that it would come out on DVD in the near future. When it does hopefully come out, I hope that the live action bumper segments with John Candy are included. When Fox Family showed reruns of Camp Candy in the late 1990's the completely cut out the bumpers, which made no sense as often John Candy would be shown attempting to demonstrate a wilderness skill, or make a joke which lead into the episode itself.

Talk about a blast from the past, I haven't seen this movie in actual decades. I remember loving this as a kid.

A shoutout to the bear named Bart! Died in 2000, bless him.

You could always tell Bart by that lower lip of his.

Loved this film growing up and it wasn’t on that much but I managed to record it from tv once. Great film thanks for reviewing it.
