There are more laughs in 5 minutes of this film than the last 5 years from Hollywood.

[@justinherbert9146]

When you are 12 years old and see Banana's in a movie theater when it came out, and you are aware that the same man starred, wrote and directed the film, you instantly become a huge Woody Allen and ask your parents for a Super 8 movie camera so you can make your own films. True Story! Decades later you end up working on one of Woody's films and get to spend time with him up close on a movie set and he is everything you always wanted him to be! A very nice man with great talent.

I thought Fidel Castro wrote *Bananas.*

*AWESOME STORY! Thanks for sharing.*

“Fernandez wanted it on roll” So funny.

[@stephenpitkin5492]

I love how they suddenly have about a million guys in white coats and hats to deliver the impossible amounts of food.

[@killerskillet]

It's almost as if that was the joke or something!

[@stephenpitkin5492]

I understood it was the joke. I genuinely loved it, and laughed my head off.@@killerskillet

[@biscutbuu69]

one of the best films from the 70s

[@manolmomchilov1192]

My father told me about this movie. Turns out some classics never die.

[@captain2ahab]

"Let me have a thousand"......................LOL

[@jrpanda180]

I just love how he didn't expect them to be the rebels when it's really obvious! XD

[@mr.boobania]

Saw Sleeper when I was 12 - 13 and became a Woody Allen fanatic. Absolutely hilarious! Bananas was great. My all-time favorite is Love and Death!

[@Nichilistaiconoclasta]

You forgot Take the money and run.

LUIS ~ "You will fight a hero, and if necessary, you will die a hero." FIELDING ~ "You better get some rest Luis, you're beginning to talk gibberish."

[@dchartier1]

It's so random. I love that line!

[@cfx5000]

Who would have guessed such a small restaurant had so many employees?

[@franksmith6411]

Hilarious. First time I saw this scene, I was watching alone at 1am and laughed so hard I was afraid I would wake the house up.

[@indigosunset70]

taking dine and dash to a whole other level

[@peaceandlove544]

Cry laughing everytime I watch it, just brilliantly hilarious.

[@gk10002000]

Who remembers "Help I've been bitten by a snake." One must suck out the poison

[@fightingirish5755]

I do

[@Jungla694]

i cannot suck on anyone's leg whom I am not engaged to...

[@mr.boobania]

SUCK OUT THEE POISON!!

[@john_from_eastcoast.]

Let me have 700 regular coffees, 500 Cokes, a thousand 7ups!! 🤣 And also coleslaw for 900 men! Get your money from Vargas, we're the rebels!! 🤣🤣😂😂

[@munz1870]

I would love to order food in those quantities the next time I go to a food truck.

[@lukadacat572]

This is the show your grandparents watch when you visit them

[@gpholtz]

The time when Woody Allen used to make hilarious movies, before he started thinking he was Ingmar Bergman

[@Maxwell1901]

He has a gub

[@owsi463657]

Apt natural

[@KurtI2525]

One of my favorite bits in this scene, is look of dismay and betrayal on the Waiter’s face. I always feel bad for him. The rebels bankrupted him. Isn’t he one of the people? Dicks.

[@KurtI2525]

I love how a tiny restaurant in the middle of nowhere has classic American diner-type food. BLT’s in Latin American banana republics!

[@wittylibrarian]

VICTORY! Carnegie Deli never saw this coming.

[@mohammedcohen]

"...thee short straw weel go..."

[@DouglasBrooker]

At his peak. It would last for awhile too.

[@jadentrez]

Which one is the roll? I have it right here, sir.

[@azs7000]

Fernandez wants his on roll! lol

[@tracker1515]

such an awesome movie

[@Groucho-tg1tx]

Coffee please, also I want something to go... 700 hundred coffees and...1000 grilled cheese sandwiches.. also Cole slaw for 900 men.

[@TheSpeedracer12]

Anyone notice he said 1,000 grilled cheese, but the math only added up to 900?

[@user-qo4pr2nm2q]

good customer service.

[@alvardavidsson5933]

This film turns 50 this year.

[@user-qo4pr2nm2q]

half the country starving and he goes to a lunch counter.

[@ceciliaoberto5286]

with french fries

[@user-uu5og2fs5b]

Ye freebies you signed in the wrong greed zone

[@etchalaco9971]

it was supposed to be a raid for supplies, but being american, he went to a cafeteria, jajaja!

[@handmadecomics5096]

I like Woody Allen. He has Aspergers like me. And we both like to do comedies. 1:55 yes 500 cokes. I LOVE coke. They go great with sandwiches. This is my 27th youtube comment I have ever posted youtube in my life.

[@peppermintcatsass3141]

No Coke.... Pepsi..

[@luishumbertovega3900]

​@@peppermintcatsass3141 cheeseburger...

[@jamesbrown8873]

Never seen that movie

[@edum5674]

Rebels taking the town ! This is too funny

[@akiraman26]

Wondering if this was at KFC last week

[@ceciliaoberto5286]

jajaja

[@XieYali]

Luis is so hot.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

That's Miguel Ángel Suárez (1939-2009). He is also in Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

[@Heliogabby]

Is it not worth mentioning that the video is in the incorrect aspect ratio? It needs to be stretched horizontally.

[@milanalexich6149]

Nice to see Latin's and Jews getting along 😅

[@atomicflash1753]

The small diner wouldn't have that much food available, it would take hours to prepare it all , the diner just happen to have a thousand 7 UPS
