Bowfinger (5/10) Movie CLIP - Crossing the Freeway (1999) HD

[@cjholden6205]

A joke that many people miss for some reason, is that during the whole movie, we never see Bowfinger shoot a scene twice. Except the one scene, that might get one of his actors killed.

[@freddyrichards878]

Cj Holden So this basically a modern version of Ed Wood?

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

Văn-Hiếu Võ true lol that’s why he got a stunt double.

[@johnh1635]

Had to do over because in the scene, he has to run into the arms of his beloved, and that detail somehow slipped Jiff’s mind, while crossing the highway, and as he made it to the other side.

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

Oh gods, you're right....🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bobbydigital3407]

One of the greatest memories I had with my late father was watching this scene together and the two of us just laughing to the point where tears were coming out of our eyes and we were falling off the couch, I must have rewinded the scene 10 times and my dad and I just couldn't stop laughing, thank you Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, and company!!! This is the one scene of any movie that will make me laugh uncontrollably!! The whole thing is genius!!!

[@trevgreg2]

What a great memory! Thanks for sharing. My best friend and I were very similar with this. I never got around to watching the film when it came out, but my friend insisted on me watching it with him around eight years later. We did the exact same thing when this scene came on! Just kept rewinding this scene over and over and laughing so hard each time.

[@baloo1522]

Wow, I came to this video because same: my dad, who passed away this year, literally fell off the couch from laughing so hard. I vividly remember my dad using the coffee table to help himself to his knees, tears in his eyes, laughing so hard. Such a positive and fun memory. It's wonderful that another person cherishes this scene for nearly the exact same reason.

[@TheNitroG1]

I love this movie. The great outdoors is another movie that reduced me to tears laughing at the end of it.

[@justwannagrill8548]

RIP. He had great taste

[@kendallrivers1119]

It's been said by both Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy that Jiff is the only character he's ever played that is actually close to his actual personality lol.

[@Kris-x5g]

Totally awesome

[@joeytrevino7809]

The stunt drivers were really impressed 🤣

[@allenprice3178]

Ahhhhh. There Stunt drivers. I was wondering how they did That. Lol...

[@Gitfiddle]

Only Eddie Murphy could run across the street and make it hilarious 😂

[@Shortokeiki]

6a

[@TheNitroG1]

jim carrey could probably.

[@1RedHyena]

Hardest I've ever laughed in a movie theater ever! I think my internal organs may have shifted from my intense laughter.

[@Just.S]

I believe you 😂

[@anastasiosadamopoulos4748]

You too......

[@williamjackson3075]

How did he get across the street so he could do the scene?

[@therealfronzilla]

Eddie should've been nominated for an Oscar for this movie. He is brilliant

[@luckybestwash]

Kit Ramsay was right, he needed to play Buck the wonder slave to get nominated

[@Freddyfrm18]

Professional stunt drivers LMAO!!!

[@MA-vd3ln]

Think of like an errand your errand is to run across the freeway til I yell cut 😂😂😂

[@stephenm8725]

"they're going really fast"

[@Freddyfrm18]

This has got to be one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. I remember I was 13 years old when I saw this. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard watching a movie scene.

[@jeunellerobinson7494]

"Heavenly God, heavenly God..!!!"😂😂

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

Only true Eddie Murphy fans know that classic line!

[@love_respect_sacrifice2989]

Jeunelle Robinson 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@allenprice3178]

Classic. Classic Scene. Eddie Murphy playing the Slow Nerd. I watch it by myself. Overwhelming Laughter and Joyful Crying. 😆

[@allenprice3178]

Stuntdrivers...... OMG. Bust a gut. Everytime........

[@pepperhead16]

Never gets old 🤣

[@mikethiebold7369]

I just saw Bowfinger for the 1st time last night on HBO and my sides are still hurting from laughing. How did I miss this Comic Gem back in 1999. Steve and Eddie are perfect together and Christine Baranski as the "over the top" actress is also hilarious. Heather Graham is always a beautiful plus to any movie. This Crossing the Freeway scene had me literally rolling on the floor with laughter. I suggest taking a "puff" of something tasty and watching this movie.

[@imtryinghere1]

The studio (Universal) tried to cut this scene because of how expensive it was to film it. Steve Martin refused to let them and thought it was one of the best scenes in the movie.

[@RonInbar]

What's so expensive in letting Eddie Murphy run across a busy freeway? You mean they actually did use stunt drivers?

[@Freddyfrm18]

​@RonInbar hahaha of course they did. LMAO!!! "Hey Eddie run through a busy intersection highway, you got this." 😂

[@PJVids83]

The fact that he does it one more time kills me. HAHAHAHA!

[@raypurchase801]

Superb acting. The way Eddie can make himself the big macho Kit Ramsey, but also the thin weedy Jiff.

[@noreengardner1075]

This and the parking garage scene with Betsys little high heels are genius..the editing is brilliant-

[@dfa3366]

When I saw this at the movie theater I couldn’t stop laughing especially when Murphy was crying.

[@mgwilliams1000]

I just adore this movie. One of the best clips ever. I thought this was Eddie's and Steve's best combined comedy's. Movie didn't do well at the box office, but this old fart loves it!

[@tobro3000]

The 1st time I saw this, when it came out, I thought my stomach was going to split open. Never cry laughed in a scene harder in my life. "I don't want to do this anymore!"

[@zellrang]

"okay, but first let's do this one more time"

[@lastraes8312]

Funniest scene ever, I agree

[@Lola_Loren]

I can relate...

[@jag1963]

Fantastic... such an underated film its pure genius..

[@Marauder1981]

I will always remember this movie as "chubby rain"

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Rücklicht, what about the one they made after that one? Fake Purse Ninjas 🤣

[@laurenjamieson8411]

So do I. I literally had to type "Chubby Rain" in the search because I forgot the name of this movie lol.

[@barbarachieppo8290]

I love the 'chubby rain' guy

[@celticforever6070]

Just watched this movie with my cousin and my dad for the first time, we were in absolute stitches at this scene comedy gold. Professional Stunt Drivers LOL!!!

[@qderrelldeal9146]

THANK YOU MR. MURPHY, AND MARTIN.

[@tdchagas02]

One of best comedy scene ever!!!!!!!!

[@Boygonebad]

Jiff was such a phenomenal character. Murphy was brilliant in this.

[@dariuswhite8776]

Just recently re-watched this, and had forgotten how funny it was. Steve Martin was as solid as ever and Eddie Murphy was pure genius in this. This is the go-to scene for introducing this movie to people who might've missed it. Pure, simple hilarious joy!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Brilliant writing, great performances, and one of the last times Eddie Murphy was truly willing to be hammy and over the top in a role. It worked SO DAMN WELL here. Eternally underrated comedy.

[@dumac6557]

Incredible funny scene, I really like the small details like the film crew doing holy cross gesture as re assurance it will go okay. Cannot watch this without laughing:)

[@cugamer8862]

I don't think that they are being reassuring. I think they're praying for the soul of a man they're certain is about to end up splattered all over the highway.

[@najeyrifai293]

Eddie Murphy, an actor, acts an actor acting as an actor.

[@reneastorgaterre1954]

I think this scene was just Eddie Murphy pissing his pants

[@nasty_slapper]

Reference noted! ;)

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

Oh God I love this scene.... "Isn't this dangerous?" "Wow, they're going really fast!" And of course, the ending. "Great, we just need you to do this again."

[@451oneandonly]

My story much the same as yours Michael K...l had never seen or heard or this movie and wasn't paying close attention the first time it was playing on television and then the magic happen with this scene....the room went from a dead silence to hilarious laughter....couldn't catch our breaths .. we were crying ....i think i showed every person who i came in contact with.....Eddie Murphy is so convincing in his character in this scene....loved it... just watched it again after a long time and it still made me laugh as much as the first time......

[@khristinajyles6801]

This is one of his funniest scenes of all time!! Lmfao I die laughing every time. Then it had to be shooting that woman's toe off in Harlem nights lmfao

[@evancheese4898]

Harlem nights fight scene is still top 5

[@Bluemgwes]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how seamless the visual effects are for this sequence? They blended the two shots so beautifully.

[@leviticusjohnson1366]

Heavenly God! Heavenly God! Heavenly God!

[@thejroostheory7831]

Such an underrated movie. Brilliant and original concept and script. One of my favorites.

[@Rockett1989_]

The look on his face when he was on other side of the freeway was priceless 😂😂😂

[@MsMesha78]

He said "heavenly father, heavenly God". Rollinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[@willvargas1052]

Eddie Murphy a blessed actor. one of the funniest to ever do it.

[@rickenbackerboy4123]

My daughter is a nurse. She was telling me how she had witnessed over the years just how healing and therapeutic laughter can be. We decided to make a Top Ten list of comedy movies. "Bowfinger" we both agreed is either at or near the top ... and the freeway scene (or maybe the parking garage scene) is out-of-this-world hilarious. I'm laughing just thinking about it 😅

I love how movies like Chubby Rain use practical effects instead of the CGI used in so many modern movies. Makes it so much more realistic :)

[@THEJIG-IS-UP]

I saw this at the movies and I laughed so hard I thought I'd pass out from lack of air. I'm still laughing

I never realized before just how much of a troll face Steve puts on at 1:05 lol

[@renatakoreman2456]

My husband who never reacts to anything EVER laughed uncontrollably and showed his true self

[@jumpnam]

I rewatched this gem of a movie the other day, as it’s always been one of my favourites. I noticed a small detail about Eddie’s performance as Jif: he holds his face different to Kit throughout. A slight scrunch :) it’s such a subtle thing but it makes him look completely different to Kit. In the outtakes of the scene where they’re all having lunch and discussing the movie (where Jif reveals he’s Kit’s brother) the camera is on Eddie before it’s rolling, and he’s sat with his normal face on. I was like, why’s Kit in this scene? Lol This is one of his best performances, and it’s criminal that he didn’t get any major recognition for it.

[@MA-vd3ln]

This scene is so funny 😂 it's probably the funniest scene in the movie

[@MrM1661]

the funniest scene in the whole movie .... i love how they are using him badly XD

[@davidzurkinden]

This is such a funny movie. Sadly one of the last ones where Eddy Murphy was actally funny.

[@HackneyShark]

Steve Martin too!

[@ricarleite]

THE last one for both Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin, although Steve Martin is still funny outside of movies.

[@sapientiaeclavis9244]

I disagree, Showtime, Pluto Nash, I Spy, Daddy Day Care, Imagine That and NORBIT, were great movies too

[@skunkface24]

I first saw this scene when I was eating in a pizza place and they had the movie on their big screen TV. I didn't know what movie this was! I had to describe the scene to some of the young people at work the next day to find out that it was "Bowfinger." That blonde girl is okay looking, but I wouldn't run across an L.A.-area freeway at rush hour for friggin' Miss America!

[@fmartin09]

This is one of the funniest movies ever!

[@carlosrvra]

I love how Jamie Kennedy is SO dumbstruck by what Jiff just did that he can't even respond to Steve Martin. Honestly insane how well Murphy disappears into this character with little to no make-up... TALENT!
