That's great! I think y'all liked it almost as much as I did.

[@michaelceraso1977]

Great fun wild film and Bill murray pretty much made up stuff as he played the goofy character, A big hill was built from scratch for the climactic 18th-hole scene, because the country club did not want its course blown up. The pyrotechnic people used too many explosives, which completely destroyed the hill and caused planes flying by to report the explosion,since it was filmed near a Ft Lauderdale airport

[@charliemac64]

Rodney Dangerfield basically plays the same guy in every movie. As others have recommended, "Back to School," and may I suggest another of my favorites, "Easy Money"? Rodney was the king of comedy in the early-mid 80s with these movies. Y'all should check out one of those compilation videos of his standup routine. The man was hilarious!!!

I watched your entire video and I really enjoyed watching you love this classic Caddyshack. I am a huge fan. I own the movie on Blu-ray and I even have some Caddyshack hats and shirts. First saw it in 1982 on HBO. Watch it again on VHS when I was a teenager and probably have seen it over a hundred times. It is very rewatchable.

Kenny Loggins became the king of the movie theme songs in the 80s. His first one was this one, "I'm Alright'. Then in 1984 he did the theme to Footloose, which was a #1 soundtrack album. He topped it off in 1986 with "Danger Zone", the main theme from Top Gun.

Michael O'Keefe, Danny Noonan, was married to Bonnie Raitt. They came to the theater where I worked to watch her father's (John Raitt) last professional stage performance before he retired. He is over 6 feet tall and Bonnie is 5' 3''. He towered over her. She had beautiful, long red, Lady Godiva style hair that went down to her knees.

That's so strange. In the late 70s I was tending bar and on the side making drinks at opening night cast parties every two weeks at a summer stock theater. John Raitt was in a play there and his daughter Bonnie was at the cast party with him. I got to talk a bit with her. Super nice.

"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!" Rodney Dangerfield, being a stand-up comedian, had some difficulty with "Caddyshack" being his first film. It was noted that some of the best scenes were improvised. Also, the music for the minister's golf round, in the rain, was inspired by "The Ten Commandments" (1956) film.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Rodney became depressed during filming. He thought he was bombing because nobody was laughing. Chevy had to explain to him that they had to remain in character and that it was a struggle for them not to laugh at him.

[@johndrews206]

90% of the movie is improvised.

[@jbwarner8626]

​@@johndrews206 Hell, they improvised so much of this movie that it ended up changing the entire plot. Originally it was meant to be a coming-of-age teen comedy focused on Danny, but Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Rodney Dangerfield stole so much of the show that Harold Ramis kept giving them more and more scenes, to the point where Danny's storyline almost feels like an afterthought 😆

[@zeroisland7]

Let put it this way, i was in high school when Star Wars came out, and listening to people who claimed to see it over 100 times. When this came out in 1980, i love this movie so much it was crazy, I watched it almost every time it came on showtime, I guessed at one point I have seen this over 130 time, that is a generous estimate. I own the DVD and still watch it from time to time!!

[@gregorypaul9955]

With so many stand out performances by this ensemble of actors this film ranks as one of the top ten funny movies of all time! Ted Knight,Chevy Chase,Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray are absolutely perfect! Its worthy to note that the Bishop was played by a movie star from the 30's named Henry Wilcoxon and the Caddyshack operator was played by Brian Doyle Murray, Bill's brother.

I saw that movie in the theater with my girlfriend when it first came out. Still a comic classic!

[@wallyman292]

The "behind the scenes" shenanigans that went on during the filming of this are legendary. So much of it was ad-libbed as well. This was actually the first rated R movie I ever saw, as it came out when I was 15. Needless to say, I was very much impressed with Cindy Morgan! ;)

Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) is my favorite character in this movie. The goofball groundskeeper chasing the gopher ends up being the unsung hero brining the multiple plots together into one unified story by blowing up the golf course. 😂

[@williambowman2326]

This movie was one long laugh in the theater when it came out. Bill Murray was under contract for just a few days and all of his bits were improvised.( notice he does not interact with the cast except…) The studio executives watched the dailies and asked how come Chevy Chase( the biggest star at the time) and Bill Murray , the hot young comic from SNL, don’t have a scene together. So on Murray’s last day he was to be there, the scene in the greens shed was filmed with no script. At the time this was a crowd pleaser and one giant laugh. The wine used I think is Alamand, which was the cheapest jug wine and bought by Winos and cheap college kids in America. After this, just watching Rodney on The Tonight Show was a moment not to miss.

[@philmullineaux5405]

It's hard to overstate the importance of this movie...one of those, the beginning of changing everything, movies, with former SNL players. This, stripes, animal House, blues brothers, 48 hours, Beverly hills cop, trading Places, Fletch, and others. Weird comedy, big stars, soundtrack, etc

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

"Slobs vs snobs" comedies really came into their own at this time. They portrayed the real social phenomenon of the rising middle class coming into conflict with the "old money" wealthy. Rodney's character is a lampooned symbol of the self-made noveau riche calling out the foibles of the ruling class. Similar to his character in Back To School. Rodney was a successful businessman and he didn't get into comedy until well into his adult life, unlike most standup comics. Such roles were tailor made for him.

[@richardleider-ww5tp]

Watching this brought back fun memories of the crazy times at Indian Hills. Graduated from St Joe's where Bill's (who was a year older than me) sister Laura was in my class. The caddy master's name was Lou and he always had a racing form by his phone, from which he called his bookie. If a gumball machine had broken none of us would have paid any attention-too busy paying poker. Never looped with Bill, however did play poker with him.

There is a golf course in the Detroit area (Northville) named Bushwood that sells stuff that commemorates Caddy Shack!

[@bidwell13]

They originally wanted a real gopher for the movie but they were shown a puppet would be better and they went with it. Harold Ramis got the idea of the gopher after watching a Mickey Mouse short called “Canine Caddy” where Mickey is golfing and Pluto is going after a gopher on the course. Bill Murray improvised a lot of his stuff. His character was originally supposed to be a Groucho Marx type character but after Bill was cast Harold Ramis encouraged him to improvise his lines. This is Harold Ramis’s directorial debut. Bill scared the one kid when he had the pitchfork at his throat cause the pitchfork was real. 6:16 that’s Bill Murray’s brother Brian Doyle Murray. He’s also a cowriter of this movie. A lot of this movie is from experience that Brian & Bill along with Harold Ramis worked as Caddy’s as kids. The Baby Ruth pool scene happened at Brian’s high school. This was Ted Knight (Judge Smails) final film before he died. 16:53 the reason people put excessive sunscreen on their noses was if they wore glasses the lens would intensify the sun on your nose. I didn’t do that when I went to an open house on an Air Force base and my nose got extremely toasted (more roasted). 18:55 he didn’t have any left to offer her so he made do with what he had. 21:41 Harold Ramis being a new director was really good with Cindy Morgan (Judge Smails Niece). She was uncomfortable with the topless and sex scene so he ordered a closed set. One of the producers scheduled a playboy shoot for her and Harold canceled it when he saw she was not comfortable with it. 25:40 notice the Pastor who got struck by lightning in the background? 26:32 the final number the settle on at the end of the movie (80,000 a piece doubled on Danny’s final putt) come out to around $304,000 in 2024.

Dangerfield was a maniac during filming, half those lines were ad-libs and he was so funny that they had to reshoot multiple scenes because the rest of the cast and crew were busted up. That of course made Ted Knight The Judge absolutely insane.

[@chrischar9428]

The other half of his lines, he snorted

[@BigTroyT]

As others have mentioned, this was Rodney Dangerfield's first movie, and he knew literally nothing about making movies. He found success quite late in life, and was primarily a stand-up comedian. He was so used to getting instant laughs from the live audience when he was funny that when making the movie, he was constantly depressed and was convinced that he was TERRIBLE, since none of the people around him (the CREW!) were laughing at his jokes. The director had to explain to him that the crew wasn't ALLOWED to laugh, and they were dying inside trying desperately not to laugh, but that Rodney WAS funny and WAS doing a great job. Still, Rodney remained depressed about everything until the premiere, when he got raucous laughter at his jokes. Only then did he accept that his performance was good. Most of his lines were ad-libbed, so that's 100% Rodney just "doing his thing." Oh, and that wasn't "dynamite", it was "C-4 plastic explosive" - or at least, grey modeling clay that they passed off as C-4. Dynamite is generally in a stick that looks like a road flare.

[@wallyman292]

Many "prestigious" golf courses/country clubs still have caddies. It's more traditional, I guess. Plus, the caddies don't just carry your clubs. They have lots of accumulated knowledge about how to the play the course, the break of the greens, etc., which they share with whomever they're paired with. Oh yeah, and the manager of the caddy shack is played by Bill Murray's older brother, Brian-Doyle Murray, although I'm sure someone's already mentioned that here.

[@norwegianblue2017]

I saw this in the theaters back in the day. (I think I was 13 or 14 years old.) I don't remember any gopher marketing, but keep in mind: this was an R-rated adult film, and cute gophers being merchandised would have sent the message that this was a kid's movie. Not on-message, in other words. Can you imagine a Happy Meal tie-in where you get a toy gopher with your purchase?! Such an idea would have led to some adults staying away, and other adults (parents) being shocked - shocked! - at what they took their kids to go see. Fun fact: John Dykstra was the special effects guy in charge of lightning, stormy skies, and (of course) the gopher. Dykstra's previous films included "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and a little ol' movie called "Star Wars." No wonder that gopher is so awesome!

The guy that runs the caddy shack and has been in a ton of movies is Bill Murray's brother. The judge didn't want Danny to say anything about his neice and if kept quite he'd give him the scholarship !

Doug Kenney and Harold Ramis would be proud of the love this movie still receives. 🙏🤘

I saw this in the movie theater when it was first released.
