I grew up with that movie and it was dubbed in albanian and I was glad that Critic enjoyed it when he reviewed it 3 months ago.

Fun Fact: *"BEAN"* in its International release has an alternate take of the Turkey scene where Mr. Bean doesn't get his head stuck and (after choosing the turkey over two frankfurters and a whole onion) they just shove it in the microwave with Bean (instead of David like in the American release) setting the timer to twenty minutes. Also, while Bean's citron Mini isn't seen in the final cut, it did appear in a deleted scene for the opening where Bean drove his Mini to work, but after getting stuck in a traffic jam, he literally drives it through Harrods and gets out the other way.

[@torstenscholz6243]

Yeah, I am from Germany and here, the scene with him having the turkey on the head was cut - maybe they felt that it was already too familiar to European audiences who already knew Bean.

[@SalvationCode]

I felt this movie was a fun introduction to Mr. Bean, at least for American audiences. I'm European, and I actually saw the film first, then the shorts as they were airing on TV when I was a kid. Really fond memories. Mr. Bean's Holiday is a blast too. Willem Dafoe is genuinely hilarious in it as well.

[@scottbuckley823]

Fun Fact this was the first movie to gross 100 million before reaching America showing the love for Bean.

[@KitsuneAdorable]

I saw Mr. Bean TV series on PBS before this movie was released in 1997. So my family and I were already familiar with the character of Mr, Bean.

[@AbsolutTBomb]

Oh but American audiences (like me) were watching Mr. Bean on HBO 7 years before this movie came out.

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

Quite something to boil it down to the biggest feature film you'd automatically know Smith from, and pretend THAT makes HIM a random character. It's just more of the American myopia that really makes you wonder if they've got it any better being aware of what's happening beyond their great iron curtain, than China. At least China is busy STOPPING Chinese people from sympathizing with foreigners, Americans don't seem to even begin. It's fertile ground to come up with the total war doctrine, but then call OTHER countries totalitarian.

[@timidwolf]

Fun fact regarding the distinct delivery of his speech, Rowan Atkinson has a stammer irl and his coping with that is thought to be why his consonants at the beginning of words are so strong. He has also stated that it seems to disappear when he plays a character and that it may have had an influence on why he chose/continued acting.

[@Sparkledash1]

Mr.Bean in the mid 90s, was freaking huge here in germany. It was not dubbed over here, as the shorts never had much language, so the language barrier was never a problem. When the movie came out in 97, it became the second biggest box office success of 97 behind Men in Black. Mr.Bean is just timeless.

[@torstenscholz6243]

The scene was cut from most non-US showings. Here in Germany, it was not included. Probably because Bean was such a big thing in Europe already, they probably thought it was unnecessary.

Steve Martin auditioned for the role of David Langley. An earlier attempt at a Mr. Bean feature was initially set up at 20th Century Fox in Fall 1991; two remake shorts (Mr. Bean Goes to a Premiere and Mr. Bean Takes an Exam) were released from September of that year to gauge interest.

Oddly, this movie is where I was first introduced to the middle finger. I literally went to my mom and, showing her my middle finger, asked her what it meant.

[@Morgil27]

To be fair, when I saw this movie as a kid, I had never even heard of Mr. Bean, nor had any of my friends. It was a British show that I hadn't seen until years later on PBS, and then I was like "Oh hey, it's the guy from the movie". Back in the 90s when not everybody had cable and access to the BBC, I'm pretty sure this was a lot of people's introduction to the character.

[@filipvadas7602]

1. Mr. Bean is a legend 2. The universal nature really is a huge part of why the character is still so popular and recognisable. Watching a character make a mountain out of a mole hill in everyday situations, all the while barely saying a word is extremely effective physical comedy 3. It really says a lot about Rowan Atkinson's acting chops when he's able to inject so much personality into a character with just his physical acting and facial expressions.

[@solidgent7870]

It's so true that physical comedy always seems to be remembered more than clever witty genuinely hilarious writing. Like the UK Office, for all of its well written and hilarious dialogue, the first thing people remember about it is the David Brent dance.

[@patrickhaeusler]

The Mr. Bean TV Show is definitely one of my all-time favourites. I watched it before I learned to speak English, and even though it didn't get dubbed in German like most other foreign media, it worked perfectly. When it comes to movies, I strongly prefer the second one where he goes to France (by the way: in Germany the first Movie was actually called: "Bean: Der Ultimative Katastrophenfilm" based on the scrapped English title).

[@torstenscholz6243]

It not being dubbed in Germany was a blessing, because if it had been dubbed, we Germans would have messed it up as always and destroyed all comedy the original had. However, according to German Wikipedia, there was a German dub some years ago. I've never seen it and that's probably better so.

[@kapparomeo]

What I remember best about the Bean movie was actually not the film itself but a photo-book accompaniment to the movie. It was presented in-character as Mr. Bean's journal and scrapbook of his American holiday, but they put far much more effort into it than you would expect from a piece of children's merchandise - as well as taking you through the movie there were entire subplots of Mr. Bean arguing with his neighbours and clippings from newspapers, police reports ("Suspect Description: Indescribable, really. Sort of weird-looking") and other paraphernalia. My copy was lost decades ago and I've never been able to find another even online.

[@Zacman1123]

[@arilumani6194]

I am from Albania and I grew up with Mr. Bean. My introduction to the character was the cartoon from the early 2000s. I didn't even knew it was based on a live-action sitcom from England at the time. I did watch the latter and I loved it equally. Even my parents love Mr. Bean, including my older brother, my grandparents, my cousins and my aunt. I did watch this movie growing up also along with its sequel. There was also Johnny English which I watched with my brother which starred the same actor, Rowan Atkinson. I even watched the sequel but never the third movie. Judging by the critical and audience score they are apparently not very good. Nonetheless, Mr. Bean is one of the many memories of my childhood that I still cherish to this day even at the age of 23. Rowan Atkinson truly is a one of a kind actor and comedian. He doesn't just play Mr. Bean, he IS Mr. Bean.

[@LordPichuPal]

I personally loved the Johnny English movies when I saw them in theaters. They're really fun satirical takes on the whole spy genre trope. He was also hilarious in Rat Race, even if he isn't the main star of the movie like with Mr. Bean and Johnny English. He is such an amazing comedian for sure, it's so transcendent to see him perform

Mel Smith's role in "The Princess Bride" was off the back of his fame in the UK for a satirical sketch show called "Not The Nine O'Clock News" which he did with Rowan Atkinson, so it's hardly random - they both broke through on the same show, before "Blackadder" was even conceived. If you want to see the two of them working off each other, search for "Gerald The Gorilla Sketch". And if you want a _really_ random fact, the interviewer in that Gorilla sketch is played by Billy Connolly's wife Pamela Stephenson, who he met while guesting on the show... you might recognise her from "Superman III" and "History Of The World: Part I" as well as the '84-'85 season of "Saturday Night Live", and she retired from acting to become a qualified and published psychologist.

It's good that Mr Bean's Holiday largely fixed the problems with the first movie with more original content and even the legacy skits had newer, more interesting framing and a soundtrack that wasn't expecting laughter as if it was entitled to it. Like, seriously, just put music over it! Charlie Chaplin figured this out in the 40s!

[@LordPichuPal]

I loved this movie as a kid, since I was such a huge Mr. Bean fan thanks to my sister introducing me to it. I think the main reason my nostalgia goggles made me think it's still great all these years later is because I remember those really funny moments it does, like the painting and the amusement park. Plus it has been a long time since I watched it, so I probably just didn't recall about some of the dead air and long droughts of nothing. I do love Rowan Atkinson's work as well, he's so funny and talented, and this has helped remind me that I really need to find a way to watch Black Adder because I've always meant to check it out.

I'm a Brit and I grew up watching Mr Bean. I only found out about the movie when it was on TV and I liked it but felt it was too American and trying too hard. Doug nailed it when he talks about the vomit bag scene. The show did it so well but the movie tried to go further with it and made it less funny. But honestly, that's mainly the beginning part where you're introduced to the family and the art gallery staff. The stuff from the painting up until the end is pretty damn good. Also Peter MacNicol is great in this film. He's probably the best part about it and the freakout is gold. Personally I have a soft spot for the sequel just because I was able to watch that at the cinema and I was fully obsessed with Mr Bean at the time.

I wonder how many of those 100m youtube views were people seeing it for the first time. So i feel like the intent for the movie really WAS just like those old Looney Tunes films. That it was made for non-fans to expose them to him. Fans of the show making something to help bring in a new audience.

1:34 I genuinely didn't know Mr. Bean even had KZbin clips 9:20 Moment slike this, makes you realize "SO this is why they put stock laughter track" in sitcoms

[@AshChirnMusic]

This movie had a lot of deleted scenes, we see why the guy who gets covered in the puke ended up switching seats as there was a gag where Bean falls asleep onto his crotch, and several gags with the painting were removed. It also had a whole scene where Bean somehow makes it into the family's house while they are still waiting for him at the airport and then when they get back to the house they end up having near misses with Bean. the UK release of the movie actually doesn't include the turkey on the head scene, that was deleted, in the UK release the turkey just goes in the microwave and explodes

@InevitableOption-ic2vx the deleted scenes are up on youtube with the turkey scene :) i made an extended cut of the movie years back but i lost it, i might make it again some day

You know its a good day when channel awesome updates!

According to Critic, Burt Reynolds blew a kid's head a few years ago in Cop & a 1/2 and now he does the same to mr.Bean. Reynolds is a maniac!

Usually, I think audience laughter is unnecessary and only serves to hide poor comedy, but it fits *perfectly* in Mr. Bean because firstly, it's mostly silent and secondly, the laughter is completely genuine. Watch the skit with him improvising lunch on a park bench and you can hear one guy in the audience laugh heavily as he figures out where the Joke is going before it gets there. It doesn't sound like typical edited laughter.

Mel Smith directing wasn’t random. They knew each other well as they worked together on a sketch show called Not The Nine O Clock News and other projects

Mr. Bean's holiday is an incredible sequel

[@RoninCatholic]

I used to like Mr. Bean and had no idea he was also the voice of Zazu. I did remember watching and not liking this movie. I was able to recognize Black Adder as the same actor as Mr. Bean, at least, in spite of my general face blindness (I literally can't tell Steve Martin from Leslie Nielsen, can't tell Chris Rock from Eddie Murphy, can't tell Dwayne Johnson from Vin Diesel - not by appearance, at least). I think my personal favorite role for Rowan Atkinson was in the one-shot parody of Doctor Who where he and his assistant go to the planet of "bottom burpers"

[@tommyfishhouse8050]

This is one of those movies that made more sense to make in the age before youtube existed. Old Looney Tunes movies recycled and reused gags all the time for the people who might have not gotten to see similar gags in earlier cartoons. But in the age of youtube where you can look up any gag from any cartoon or comedy sketch with a click of a mouse. It doesn't make sense to make a whole movie stringing together all the gags in a 'greatest hits' sort of way.

I think I might have been 14 when I saw the movie and was just a couple of years of being introduced to the show and love it. The movie I don't remember laughing that much when I saw it in the theater. The problem with the movie, there was a dryness or realness to the environment and tone of the show so Bean sticks out a lot more when he does his bits and makes it funnier. In the movie it's a bit more the setups are cinematic or sentimental so it doesn't work as well.

[@darksharinganz3634]

The turkey head scene is a deleted scene. The fact he's talking about it means he hasn't even seen the movie, or he'd know it wasn't there in the final cut.

[@kingkamron9875]

From what I heard, it was in the final cut of the American release but was cut in other countries.

Can I just say that this is the best Doug has been in a while. Most, if not all of the jokes landed on me.. and the Stamps ad... I actually watched through a sponsor ad.. I never do that.. Cheers for the awesome content!

[@QuanTumm1357]

16:05 I know “because poo” is supposed to reflect the silliness of that movie moment but that is the funniest thing I heard through the review

[@catholiccontriversy]

For mme the reason Mr. Bean episodes work and Bean doesn't is because no one talks in the episodes, not just Mr. Bean, or he's alone so there isn't much reason for him to talk. In Bean people are constantly talking so it just feels unnatural for him to be mostly silent (like when someone asks him a direct question, how can he answer silently without it being awkward?). This is why Mr. Bean's Holiday is so much better, because while there is a lot of talking it's all in French so the language barrier offers a plausible reason for him to not say anything.

Peter Mcnicol is such an underrated comedic actor.
