Caddyshack | Movie Reaction | First Time Watching

The fact that you said, “There’s the Jaws music!” proves that you have graduated to the intermediate level movie fan.

Awesome... It's been a long time coming!

[@donjackson5522]

Chevy Chase is so subtly hilarious in this movie. I love his wit. Another great early movie of his is Seems Like Old Times. He and Goldie Shawn have great on screen chemistry.

Yes! I use that line a lot. 😂

[@laudanum669]

One of my favorite lines (not shown in this reaction) is after the fight at the Caddyshack Lou the Caddy manager say's "Hey you, pick up that blood". I have always thought that is just a funny line.

[@garycallan7384]

Use it at least once a week since this movie came out

[@stephenmobray2710]

I like "Well, we're waiting!"

[@TomCat777]

This was Dangerfield's first movie. He kept missing his que because he didn't know that when the director said action, he needed to start acting. Finally the director would just yell Rodney, do your thing. LOL

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Love that!

[@sharpgirl72]

You said "Here's Johnny" during the bathroom door break scene!!!! You added The Shining reference! Your two-part struggle through that movie paid off.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Yes mam it did.

[@netzombiee646]

An interesting piece of trivia about this movie ... This is the first time Chevy Chase and Bill Murray had been in a show together since the 70's on an episode of Saturday Night Live ... during that episode of SNL, they literally got into a fist fight backstage and had to be broken up by other cast members ... when they made Caddy Shack, the director realized toward the end of filming that there was not a single scene where Chevy and Bill had been together ... so he had them write the scene of the two talking at Bill's place ... they both handled the scene professionally, even though they had last ended on an extremely bad note.

[@goldieschooch8512]

Anything with Chevy Chase… there’s something about his little facial expressions that just gets me!

[@tomyoung9049]

A great comedy classic. Pretty sure there was more improv than actual script all thru this. This was Rodney's first motion picture from what I heard.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Interesting thanks

[@karlsmith2570]

0:52 Hey James, Interesting Fact for you: The animosity between Ted Knight (Judge Smails) and Rodney Dangerfield (Al Czervik) wasn't just an onscreen performance, they couldn't stand each other in real-life, also

[@RedmoonWHO]

This movie has some classic scenes.... Bill Murray's scene with the flowers was entirely him. The script said something like "The groundskeeper walks by"

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

That's funny, not very specific

Swim dancing is called synchronized swimming. Great reaction to this classic! I recommend Animal House, if you wanna see another classic early 80s comedy

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Thank you so much for watching. I hope you get a chance to watch some of my other content. Lots of amazing movies to watch.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Chevy Chase and Bill Murry hated each other. So much so that it came to blows when they were doing SNL. Getting them together here was a miracle. 2. FUN FACT: This was Rodney's first movie and didn't know what "action" meant. So, the director (Harold Ramis) just told him to do your thing. 3. In 1980 there weren't phones to pull out. We were on our own. 4. I play golf and Rodney's antics wouldn't be allowed. The Marshall would be there immediately. 5. Rodney movie to review "Easy Money"

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Didn't know the first two.

[@ralpholson7616]

It is my understanding that all of Bill Murray's lines were improvised.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Sure, why not... I can see that

[@shanehebert396]

At 13:56 , the "The Cinderella Story" was all improvised... genius. If you like the movie, there's at least one documentary on its making that's pretty good... like some details about that final explosion sequence. :)

Although old, this movie still tickles my funnybone every time I watch it. If you want a couple more good golf movies, you should check out Tin Cup with Kevin Costner and the Legend of Bagger Vance with Matt Damon and Will Smith. Not as funny as this one but still good.

[@julietvelarde3816]

We spent many dinners at tbe Olympic Club. I never knew how exclusive it was nor Pebble Beach until a lot later. When we'd wind off tbe Great Highway, my sister would shove (we'd have to sit in the backseat) because she was older, maybe a junior but was embarrassed to have "caddies " that went to Highschool see her pull up at the valet.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

[@rocketeer3667]

You seem nice so a bit of advice: No offense intended but a full 3:15 went by before the reaction started on this movie, cutting your intros to 30 seconds max would be a vast improvement. Anything else that you have to say can be said after the reaction. Have a good one!

[@tempsitch5632]

Brian D Murray was co-writer and the Murray kids were caddies when they were young. Also probably why the family was so large, as the Murrays are 9 kids.

[@IggyStardust1967]

Oh, man, James.... I missed that you did this movie. Rodney Dangerfield did some CLASSIC movies. One that I'd highly recommend is "Back to School". He was also in a movie called "Ladybugs", but that's similar in tone to "The Bad News Bears" (another movie I highly recommend). It's been a while since I've seen your channel, but I tend to not watch reactions to movies I haven't seen, in case I might end up doing it myself. Also, I've been dealing with a sick dog for the last few weeks, and now one of my cats has gotten sick, while the dog has been getting better.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Hey John, I'll make sure it's on my list bud.

[@IggyStardust1967]

@@AwesomeUSMovies I pulled up your Letterboxed list, I really need to see what you have seen, and figure out which movies I think you might enjoy that aren't on your list. I know a TON of "obscure/forgotten" movies, one of which you just did (Airheads). The Bad News Bears is a movie I saw in theaters back in the 70s, and loved it. A more "adult" movie along the same vein would be "Beer league" which I found in Walmart's $5 bin one day, and bought it because it LOOKED funny. I was not disappointed, either. Anyway, I'll toss some suggestions your way, and remember, I tend to suggest movies that other channels aren't doing, because that sets you apart from the group. As much as I love movies, and watching reactions, it's not exactly fun watching 10 channels react to the same movie on the same day or two. Have a wonderful day!

[@tarzapopohead]

More of the The golfer was added after test audiences because they said it tied the movie up better.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Well I hope they had lots of golfers on a golf course

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

James - I believe it's ten seconds from when you hit it until it reaches the hole. The reason the rule exists is because of a player named Don January (who won the PGA Championship in 1967). He hit a putt in the 1963 Phoenix Open that fell just short, but January argued the ball was still moving, albeit tremendously slowly, so by rule then, he wasn't allowed to play it. It took seven minutes for it to get figured out, and the ball never dropped. Finally, he had to play it, because they threatened to fine him if he didn't. The rule was changed after that. Apparently, it's still known as the "Don January Rule."

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

You are correct, 10 extra seconds after stopping.

[@lnwolf41]

FYI, Bill Murray was invited, and all his lines were ab-libbed . Also this was a dig at all of the exclusive golf courses that discriminated against those of lesser means.

[@laudanum669]

It's called "A Futile and Stupid Gesture" However the director of Caddyshack (Harold Ramis) didn't have any part of starting National Lampoon. National Lampoon was started by Henry Beard and Doug Kenney. Ramis did participate in the The National Lampoon Radio Hour and revue.

such a fun movie. I was never a fan of Rodney Dangerfield, but his humour is perfect for this. When I was a member at a golf club, our resident Pro actually got struck by lightning during a competition (he's ok). Also... a kangaroo HAS actually stolen my golf ball, or rather stood over it refusing to let me near it. One glance at those claws and I quickly decided the penalty was a better option! - I may sound like a golfer, but pretty certain since the crew I played with are known and on the pro circuit... but certain with the maximum handicap (initially), I was the comedy relief. We would retire to the 19th while the wannabe (and eventual pros') went on to play another 2 rounds. We were sinking beers while they were sinking putts. No wonder they were so good lol - considering one of their spectacular fall from grace.. maybe he should have socialized with us more and worked on his personality game!
