BEETLEJUICE (1988) Movie Reaction! First Time Watching & Commentary

[@kanpai_ky]

Did my best to get this up in October but it took 13 uploads to please the YT gods and be playable! My Halloween and scary movie knowledge is super limited so it’s fun to watch new to me movies like this classic ✨

[@monolithus4064]

I'm glad YT is showing me some smaller channels. I hope this experience hasn't dissuaded you from more movie reactions!

[@BeeWhistler]

Yeah, a lot of the reactors I watch have been shifting to shows because movies are getting so hard to upload. Oh! But if you find movies that are public domain, those would go better. They’d be old but there’s some classics out there.

[@Tofushoots]

I've seen BEETLEJUICE ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!!

[@kanpai_ky]

Do you have other movies you've watched a hundred and sixty-seven times and still great? Every holiday I rewatch ALL of the LOTR, Star Wars, and Harry Potter Series.... lol

[@Tofushoots]

@@kanpai_ky The Original Star Wars movies I can watch countless times. Harry Potter, I've lost count. There is always a handful of movies and books I can return to and always feel excited.

[@ronfehr7899]

The Day-O scene, where everyone around the table is possessed, must have been the Maitlands. They had summoned Betelguese, but hadn't yet 'struck a deal with them.'

[@3DJapan]

23:48 No, that was the great Phil Hartman. Rest In Peace.

[@kanpai_ky]

RIP 💔

[@Automaton_Tauntaun]

Always felt bad for the spider @6:40 cuz Alec Baldwin is all "WOW! Look at this cool spider!" Then the lyrics Harry Belafonte is singing in the background go "You promise to love me the rest of your life!?"... and the spider is just unceremoniously chucked out the window. A spider that size would not fall that far unscathed :(

[@kanpai_ky]

Poor spider...

[@DanJackson1977]

Danny Elfman used to have a rock / new wave / ska band called Oingo Boingo. If you listen to their songs you can hear a lot the dark Circus style that went into his movie scores. He still performs those songs live every so often, and lately has been doing it shirtless.. cause for a 70 something guy, the dude is, no joke, rather jacked 😂 he also wrote The Simpsons theme which has no doubt made him a bazillion dollars. He also wrote the lyrics and sang them as Jack on Nightmare Before Xmas (speaking voice was Chris Sarrandon, known for Prince Humperdink from Princess Bride)

[@kanpai_ky]

Ok wow I learned a lot! I often sing the line “all dressed up with no where to go” and didn’t make the connection at all. And now I can totally hear his voice singing Jack’s parts in Nighmare 💀 Thanks for sharing the trivia 😁✨

[@SB992REBORN]

This ​@@kanpai_ky is a hard PG... it's rated pg when pg13 hadn't been used but was created and it's more of pg13 r rated horror comedy movie and the new one is the sequel!

[@ahmedjacuzzi5494]

Also, Danny's brother directed a very low budget, raunchy, and amazing film called "Forbidden Zone", with Danny doing the music. The band Oingo Boingo originated with the movie, referring to then as "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo." It's completely nuts and totally worth watching.

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

@@kanpai_ky That song is "Deadman's Party". It's still in my Halloween party song rotation. Total classic.

[@CigarMick]

The dog, the damn dog caused everything. If the dog had not been crossing the road to make them go through the wall of the covered bridge and if the dog had not stepped off the board and let the car fall into the river none of what happened in the movie would have happened.

[@T-Roy_Rex]

Leave that poor dog alone lol. Would you rather have seen Adam run it over instead? 🤣

[@Reefism]

Winona Ryder was 15 years old when she worked on this movie!

[@kanpai_ky]

Oh wow I didn’t realize she was only 15! 😮

[@MIkey2008g6]

there is easter eggs that reference a nightmare before christmas and batman, especially the "attention k mart shoppers" scene The nice f’n model was a shot at the props dept, and was ad libbed by Keaton. The tree wasn’t supposed to fall. Tim liked it so much he kept it in the movie

[@kanpai_ky]

Oh wow I didn’t know that. Sometimes the best moments are improvised! Thanks for sharing 😃✨

[@ronfehr7899]

You didn't notice Jeffrey Jones by name, but you instantly recognized him when he showed up here. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is probably when I first saw him, although I do know him from several other movies. And one of them happens to star Alec Baldwin.

[@CigarMick]

The scene in the model cemetery when Micheal Keaton kicks over the model tree and it falls was suppose to go differently. Mr. Keaton improvised the scene because the tree was not suppose to fall over when he kicked it so the line he said and the crotch grab after the tree fell over was entirely off script. The director liked it so much he chose to leave that scene in the movie.

[@kanpai_ky]

Thank you, I love all these facts about the film in the comments.

[@LockeDemosthenes2]

It's kind of crazy that this was only rated PG. The 80s was a very different time.

[@kanpai_ky]

Omg right?!? 😅 I had this exact thought ha ha

[@BeeWhistler]

Man, I am very much on the religious side, and I love Halloween! Our church has a trunk or treat every year, and not even on Halloween (y’know, to keep kids from getting into trouble or whatever). No, we have it because it’s fun, and then people can spend Halloween how they want. A couple of families at church even had their own gatherings they invited people to. Spooky stuff isn’t a sin. You can have a line you don’t cross, and you should be respectful of the dead. But y’all… we all have a skeleton deep inside us. And Christians believe in spirits! 😉 And if it’s still too much, maybe read up on Dia de los Muertos. It’s such a lovely, warm, wholesome sort of holiday. Honoring the dead in your family! Edit: Also, this was the first time I’d seen Alec Baldwin and I thought he was super cute!

[@0okamino]

Yeah, after all, it’s the Christian festival of All Hallows’ (or Saints’) Eve. Anything being ‘hallowed’ is very much in the religious lane. The stigma seems to stem from it coinciding with Samhain. Of course, Samhain also has religious significance, but of the old Gaelic variety.

[@kanpai_ky]

I love celebrating Halloween now, but sadly as a child I was that kid who didn't get to go out or dress up. That also means I missed out on a lot of movies growing up, but now I can watch them with all of you.

[@3DJapan]

Yes, the 2024 film is a sequel.

[@kunserndsittizen2655]

Are you from KY?

[@kanpai_ky]

I’m not; the Ky is short for my name, Kyla, and it rhymes with Kanpai 🥂🙂

[@XCerykX]

The new movie is a sequel. Wynona Ryder and Catherine O'hara also return with Micheal Keaton as their characters. Wynona Ryder apparently made a deal with the Duffer Brothers that she would only work on Stranger Things if they let her schedule around the Beetlejuice sequel if it got green lit from what I have heard.

[@0okamino]

Considering what 80s pop culture nuts the Duffer Brothers are (especially since they were only 6 years old when 1990 rolled around), I think it’s a safe bet that they immediately agreed to that condition.

[@kanpai_ky]

That's awesome about the Duffer Brothers and I can't wait for the final season of Stranger Things!

[@blue__eyed__robot]

I think you're referring to "Blucifer": and yes, it did kill it's creator.. and it remains spectacularly creepy to this day.

[@kanpai_ky]

Oh right! Blucifer 🤣🐎

[@jdspencer60]

Green beer, get ready to poop green lol

[@kevinhayes1656]

I’m color blind so I’ll have to take your word for it. That is green lol

[@kanpai_ky]

Oh man! It is a very vibrant green beer from the pandan. Almost looks fake because the hue is so bright and matches the green in the movie. They have another beer I enjoy made with ube that is a very vibrant purple and would have worked here as well.

[@Halfaxa7]

Blucifer mentioned

[@kanpai_ky]

😂

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

Hello beautiful, Ya needed a glass of minute maid orange juice and a zagnut chocolate bar to match that one scene where beatlejuice is trying to get lidia to say his name. The yellow station wagon was a swedish 1979 volvo 240 wagon model. Day-O song is by harry Bellefonte. The Barnard guy at the posessed dinner party was talk show host dick cavett. 42:57---ortho gets instantly changed into a blue 1970's polyester leisure suit. Witch was a fashion nightmare to him. People use to make jokes about leisure suits. So ortho in that suit was saposta be a joke. A good thansgiving movie is planes trains and automobiles. Funny movie.

[@kanpai_ky]

Thanks for the fun facts and I haven’t seen Planes Trains and Automobiles and had no idea it’s a Thanksgiving movie. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂✨

[@TANKTREAD]

Great Danny Elfman score, which he worked with Burton on this and "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". But what put Elfman on the map was his score for Burton's 1989 "Batman".

[@kanpai_ky]

I went down a Danny Elfman rabbit hole on KZbin after this movie with Oingo Boingo!

[@theylied1776]

Even in the 80s? I was a kid in the 1980s. The FDA had to remove Valium from Pharmacies because Doctors were worse than drug dealers. They were overprescribing. It was so bad that they were prescribing Valium to teenagers for anxiety. People could not admit that they were addicted to prescription drugs back then.

[@kanpai_ky]

Whoa that’s insane but given the history of the pharmaceutical industry I’m not surprised

[@ronfehr7899]

Prior to 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (I think), the PG-13 rating didn't exist. I believe that this movie was actually rated PG13.

[@ronfehr7899]

I don't care for Halloween either, but I have watched a few films, like this one, that would be considered appropriate for the occasion.

[@IDLERACER]

😎👍 If it's of interest, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was the first in a trilogy of Tim Burton animated features. The next two were "The Corpse Bride" (2005) and "Frankenweenie" (2012). 👻

[@kanpai_ky]

Thanks for the recommendations. I did just rewatch "The Nightmare Before Christmas" before watching Beetlejuice. In the background of this video I have the Nightmare Lego set I was building.

[@rowenatulley852]

I think you missed the scene where Lydia sees the ghosts . . .

[@kanpai_ky]

I totally did! I was yapping away about the statue that killed it's creator. I caught it when editing though :D

[@armanipastenes2702]

keep doing good movies and ill subscribe this is my first time watching ur reactions..and after this reaction we will see if i become a subscriber thank u..

[@jessiegreen619]

year batman 89 all so Tim Burton and Michael Keaton

[@kanpai_ky]

Oh that’s right! I didn’t realize that was from ‘89, I thought it was early nineties. They must have liked working together 😆

[@kevinhayes1656]

Preferring Szechuan to Cantonese is not racist

[@kanpai_ky]

Oh that was meant towards disparaging MSG 😅

[@joshscott6914]

How dare anyone skip the drink pairing.

[@kanpai_ky]

LOL right 😂✨🍻

[@7Link7]

So.....there's pretty much zero ''full length'' versions, of *anything* let alone this, on Patreon......? Got it.

[@kanpai_ky]

Thanks for checking out the Patreon. I just started this channel a few months ago and plan to launch tiered Patreon levels soon (Nov/Dec). I just don't want people to pay for content and not be able to meet tiered promises. I have a pretty demanding day job and I do all my editing (just started to learn editing too). I've tried a few editors and I ended up not using their edits. Hopefully the Patreon will enable me to hire an editor to release content more often. I do have all the Patreon versions already uploaded and private at the moment for when I do launch. There is a lot of content already recorded, movies and other shows and will launch when Patreon launches.

[@KevinDobson-k3q]

Can you please react to the classic horror movie Stigmata, starring Patricia Arquette, please, will blow you away 😊

[@kanpai_ky]

Thank you for watching and the recommendation, I'll add Stigmata to the list!

[@KevinDobson-k3q]

@kanpai_ky cant wait it's incredible

[@flaysol7719]

Good rare film. But the new one is lousy in many ways. No way Jenna Ortega ruined it offal actress. You can't deny it. Remakes are always terrible.

[@kanpai_ky]

If you see the original, especially at a young age, a remake can almost never out do it, but I bet today’s kiddos would enjoy the newer version, maybe even more than the original.

[@flaysol7719]

@kanpai_ky I did grew up on the first one. And who cares about what the new kids think about they don't matter. That's where they ruined it.

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

The weird crappy Claymation monsters weren't due to the technical limitations of the 80s. Ray Harryhausen was doing better stop motion work in 1958. The look was pure Tim Burton. He wanted it to have an unsettling not right look, so he settled on it looking like they were animated by children. The people who did the work were the same ones that did Nightmare Before Christmas. It must have been actually difficult to make it look so bad.

[@kanpai_ky]

Tim Burton's animation aesthetic is certainly his own style and recognizable and I do enjoy. I had just rewatched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" before watching this movie. And after this movie I saw his animation in an Oingo Boingo music video with Danny Elfman thanks to the comments on this page.

[@yournamehere6002]

Corny? Huh? You're corny.

[@kanpai_ky]

Yes, parts of this movie can be considered "corny". It's not necessarily a bad thing, I consider "Dad Jokes" to be corny but I still love and laugh at them.

[@yournamehere6002]

@@kanpai_ky There's nothing corny about the movie. You don't understand what constitutes corny. But then, you're using the phrase "dad jokes" and that's a construct of the zoomers to roll their eyes when someone tries to lighten a mood with a pun.
