"Those titties went right back to their assigned seats!" Now THAT was a classic line! I had to pause the video on that one because I couldn't stop laughing!

[@lavondabland3179]

Me too!

[@granadosvm]

Same!

[@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall]

Yeah, that was good. She's actually getting better and better at this and that's a good example. (Of course, she still looks exactly like my ex-wife and it continues to freak me out, but I guess during "Hallo-Beans" that's almost appropriate.)

[@DerAviator]

I've never heard that uttered before, but I can tell you now it'll be repeated.

[@sophiaaldous3199]

Exactly, I LOLed. 😆

[@Accolonian]

"NOW a warning!?" is one of my favorite deliveries of all time. I have used it frequently over the last 30 years.

[@michaelccozens]

"The warnings... the warnings come after the spells". Although I do find it a bit amusing that Streep's character is so shocked that the immortal devil lady may have been a tad disingenuous.

[@moonchild8422]

Yes!!!!

[@mccpcorn2000]

I remember Goldie Hawn talking about how Kurt Russell watched this film with her and that he was laughing so hard she started to worry he couldn't breathe properly! Also, it's a great film for Bruce Willis as it's such a departure from his usual tough guy role.

[@manicpanic3544]

He started in comedy with the 80s TV show "Moonlighting"

[@mccpcorn2000]

Yes indeed. But his character in this film is a henpecked weakling, which is a rarity for him.

[@dnasty312]

My favorite performance of Bruce, along side _The Sixth Sense_

[@willemverheij3412]

He's really fun in Hudson Hawk too where he gets to combine the best of both worlds.

[@team10leader1]

"Why are they bowing? They didn't bow to the other ones." I've got a theory. It's because Ernest is a doctor, and if any of them get hurt or killed, he can just fix them up just like he did Madelyn and Helen. In their eyes, if they make this doctor immortal, he shall practically be king among them.

[@Joel-vx7hz]

That's what I always thought. I mean just think about it, Lisle probably didn't know what happens when you die since she's only 71 and you never know, accidents happen. So Madeline and Helen explained to her what happened and how he can help so they were going to give him the potion for FREE and he would be Lisles slave forever fixing everyone who "died"

[@crookedman5896]

that was my thought too, hes a well known person with a special set of skills....

[@attitudeproblem6462]

More like a slave.

[@TheCombatWombat0]

In a deleted scene, Lisle practically says as much. She regards Ernest like her, an artist and god even. The deleted scene script showed that she had respect for Ernest, unlike the other two ladies. So, your assessment is basically correct.

[@quentinbarrentine5114]

@@TheCombatWombat0 The deleted scene, though this part may never have actually been filmed, in the SCRIPT, there's a line that basically says that Lisle lied about being 71, and she's actually over 600 years old. She mentions regretting that the greats like Shakespeare and such rejected her offers for immortality, and she hopes Ernest won't be the same.

[@chrissmith6097]

[@MsWaif]

Fun fact: Isabella Rossellini (who plays the "sorceress" Lisle) is the daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca). She is as gorgeous as her mother, IMO, and also a phenomenal actress.

[@kathleenrobertson5182]

You're absolutely right!

[@justaguy2365]

Yeah she is.

[@bryankuettnet9324]

She needs to see Blue Velvet.

[@harrymarshall]

,, yea, blue velvet for sure 💙

[@agenttheater5]

Her father is the director Ingrid Bergman married but then had started cheating on because he didn't want her starring in anyone else's movies, right? Or did I hear the story wrong. All I know is that at some point people boycotted a movie of hers because of her affair, and she said that she completely understood people not wanted to see her movies if they think she gave a bad performance but that she fails to see how her personal life is of any concern to them.

[@BunBun299]

I have always loved this movie, especially for the ending. Bruce Willis' character chose a mortal life, and he really lived, as opposed to the two immortal women, who are doomed to live in obscurity, and are stuck with the person they hate most, each other. They are in their own self created purgatory.

[@oaf-77]

He made the right decision

[@jculver1674]

This movie started out as a Tales From The Crypt movie, and that ending is right in line with that show.

[@jacquelinecallejas1390]

There is a play where 3 people (one man and two women) die and are brought to a room in the after life. they start talking and they wonder when the torture is going to begin since each of them was a terrible person who accepted that they'd be going to hell. Time passes and nobody comes to torture them and they keep talking to each other. Woman 1 false in love with the man, the man however falls for Woman 2. Woman 2 is a lesbian and falls for Woman 1. They argue and get upset that the person they love don't love them back. Eventually they realize that they are in hell and that their torture is to be with each other for eternity.

[@XanArt21]

The original ending was 27 years later in Switzerland (which they actually shot there in Vitznau). Ernest is there with his wife Toni having a picnic. Mad & Hel (still looking stunning) sit closeby on a terrace and Madeline goes off about the couple how old they are but Helen doesn't share her view anymore and looks at them with longing. Goldie Hawn said the testaudience completely deflated with that ending and it was reshot 3 weeks before release. The whole subplot with Tracey Ullman as Toni was removed. Meryl loved the reshoot ending but Goldie was disappointed...

[@wowbaggerTIP]

"A can of busted biscuits" is one of the most southern descriptors I've heard in some time

[@shainewhite2781]

It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, beating out ALIEN 3 and Batman Returns.

[@androyus]

"Beating out Alien 3" is not actually a great accomplishment though. The creature FX in Alien 3 is simply bad.

[@CaptainBohnenbrot]

@@androyus Haha, yes. I read that and thought that it was really impressive. Then I thought about it for a second ... Alien 3 ... Batman Returns ... Well, maybe not that impressive.

[@jamesfowler5100]

Speaking about Batman Returns, you really should watch it. It's better than the original. I want to see your reaction to the Penguin.

[@NoctemAeternusMusic]

CaptainBohnenbrot Batman Returns had some great special effects tho.

[@Daveyboy100880]

Funnily enough, Amalgamated Dynamics did the physical FX for both Alien 3 and Death Becomes Her. ILM did the visual FX for Death Becomes Her, and they really were ground-breaking, with the first photoreal CG human skin being created for Meryl's neck issues.

[@jaytheokie]

"My back would look like a can of busted biscuits." Priceless.

[@veroniquelaurent3734]

I love you for reacting to this! Few realize that Meryl Streep made this movie as an attempt to prove that she could do more comedies after a string of dramas. She hated working with the special effects though.

Nor for nothing, Death Becomes Her is such a cult classic. I’m in my late thirties and I saw this film when I was 11 only because my parents were big fans of it and had the VHS tape. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen it and shown it to friends. I was thrilled when I learned you were going to react to it and I suspected you were gonna love it. I’m glad I was right. Welcome to the cult. This movie is a masterpiece.

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

The scene of the party, when they see Goldie's bod reminds me of my 10th high-school reunion. I lost a lot of weight and got in shape for military service. It was fun, I have to admit, to see the response of girls mean to me in high-school...especially since several of them had gained a good bit of weight. A real moment of joy for me. Be nice to people in school. You just never know how much crow you'll be eating later.

[@radlee974]

My *GOD* do I love this movie! In fact, anytime I’m asked what my “all time favorite” movie is, my answer is *always* _Death Becomes Her._ Anyway, not nearly enough people react to this movie! And, to be completely honest, *very* few of those who _have_ reacted to it are anywhere _near_ your level of wit/overall enjoy ability. Which is *exactly* why I come back to rewatch this video every so often! (Plus that fact that you *love* this movie so damn much is a *HUGE* bonus!!) So, having said _all_ of that… *THANKS, SIS!!!* 😁

[@donwild50]

I love the scene where the Head Witch (Isabella Rossellini) asks Streep how old she thinks she is and Streep says "38" and Rossellini grabs the mirror with an angry look on her face like "38!!" The trivia says that Rossellini was actually 39 when the scene was filmed...tho she didn't look it. Another trivia bit....Isabella's mother was Ingrid Bergman who played "Ilsa" in the movie Casablanca, the Bogart movie you loved. If you look close, you can see the resemblance.

[@dadoctah]

Also, Ingrid Bergman co-starred in Goldie Hawn's first feature film, "Cactus Flower", for which she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

lips and nose definitely resemble Ingrid. I can see why David Lynch dated her for a while :P

[@thomasnieswandt8805]

I laugh every time i watch scene. The look on Isabella Rosselinis face "38????? How dare you???"

[@fad23]

Isabella Rossellini is one of my heroes.

[@sirjedisentinel]

Rossellini also had to use a stunt double (I guess body double is more accurate) for this movie because she has a massive scar on her back

[@Rmlohner]

The special effects in this movie were absolutely mind-blowing at the time. Especially Goldie Hawn sitting on the couch so the shovel passes through the hole in her gut. She actually didn't quite hit her mark properly and had to be digitally shifted for the effect to work, and you can't tell at all.

[@awkwardashleigh]

IT WAS SO GREAT

[@FullMetalB]

I was super young when I watched it and I was so shocked/confused watching this lol

[@xdami4nx]

they talked about it on corridors crew

[@doomranger6047]

Oh wow that’s very interesting. Where did you find that out? I’d love to know more about this movie it’s one of my favorites. I think the reason why this movies FX have NOT aged poorly is that They are highly stylized. They were never meant to be realistic.

[@3DJapan]

Corridor Crew did a video on the effects recently.

[@Malum09]

“Never watched a movie about eternal life serum!” Someone needs to watch Re-Animator!

[@6thCircleTattoos]

This is one of my all time faves. So many good quotes. "NOW a warning!?"

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

"Could you just...STOP breathing?"

[@wartang]

Besides I can see right though you.

[@miriam8376]

This is such a criminally underrated comedy. It's one of my favorite satires of all time, and no one I talk to has ever even heard of it. I love the underlying commentary about how the fear of aging can destroy your life, particularly for women, and I love that that commentary arrives via spray paint and shotgun blasts and weird 80s Fabio hair. Although it is a bit ironic that the message "aging gracefully means a happier life" was delivered by actresses who have since entered their sixties as two of the most beautiful senior citizens ever.

[@jp3813]

More than aging, it's a commentary about the desire for eternal life. Such a fate can easily become eternal damnation.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

@@jp3813 it's clearly about aging and plastic surgery. Eternal life through dark magic isn't exactly something people need much of a lesson about since it's, well... not possible anyway. But the story is all about two women obsessed with becoming old and being discarded for younger alternatives.

[@vanyadolly]

Just speaking for myself, it's just too mean and depressing. Probably the only one of Goldie's movies I only bothered watching once.

[@jp3813]

@@HaganeNoGijutsushi I never said that it isn't at all about aging and plastic surgery. I meant that in addition to that, Bruce Willis' character talks about the downsides of eternal life, and the priest even preaches about achieving it despite inevitable death. It's silly to point out that living forever is impossible when not aging is also impossible in the first place.

[@HorrorLover]

@@vanyadolly it's definitely a dark comedy. I enjoy its gallows humor and irreverent tone, but it could definitely be seen as too mean spirited for some.

[@christopherbennett5858]

Great movie. Always enjoy your reactions. I will say that the reason the therapy group went hysterical when the name Madeleine Ashton was uttered wasn't because they hated her. It was because that's the only thing she ever brought up during these sessions so their reactions are more "Oh dear god, again!? We're trapped in a time loop with this woman's obsession.!"

[@rhisilver969]

This is one of my faves that I can rewatch every year. A similarly underrated movie is Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, you’d love it

[@amandacogger3075]

That was a funny film

[@carolyn8073]

This movie has a great message to accept aging gracefully, so unlike Hollywood.

[@nettack]

It's what it is trying to convey. But as long as you don't have a frienemy who wants to mutilate you, I'd pick this version of invulnerability combined with eternal youth every day. What was the downside again? Your skin peels and needs a paintjob? Sign me up!

[@marcuswilliams7888]

They won't be happy until we cure aging.

[@AndreNitroX]

Agreed the more you stress about aging, the worst your health will be.

[@michaelccozens]

@@marcuswilliams7888 None of us will be. Burning in time's fire sucks. You show me someone who wouldn't want to physically be 22 forever, and I'll show you a liar.

[@michaelccozens]

True, but also kinda hard to blame Hollywood. They didn't create ageism (though they contribute to it); audiences did. Older actors, especially women, don't guard their youth solely out of vanity; they do it because it's hard to get an audience to pay to see you after 40.

[@Nickelberrynsc]

The special effects (CGI) were the first of their kind being hyper realistic and not cartooney , the first realistic fat suit appears here. They blew us away in 1992. There are a bunch of old dead stars at the ball toward the end, the guy in the wig is supposed to be Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe and James dean were there. I watch this at least once a year. I’m glad you liked it.

[@Rallarbusen]

Was it James Dean's Porsche that Bruce Willis stole?

[@SuddenReal]

And I think the guy asking "are you going to be done soon" is Jim Morrison.

[@matthewsmith2979]

[@EdSigma]

@@nigelcoleman7666 Not sure, just somewhere along the way the decision was made to have it be its own thing.

[@michaelccozens]

@@EdSigma Looking it up, I guess the only TftC movies prior had been two anthology series in the '70s ("Creepshow", the anthology movie from '82, wasn't marketed under the TftC name, though it was an homage) and the anthology TV show that ran from 1989-1996, which director Zemeckis (a big fan of TftC) was working on at the same time as this film. Sounds like Zemeckis wanted it to be a TftC sequel, but probably got over-ridden by the studio. I can see their point; I think calling it a TftC movie probably would have turned-off mainstream audiences, and it didn't really fit the TftC legacy of somewhat-campy short films.

[@kennyhogg5820]

I saw this with a friend when it came out. We really liked it. The funniest line to us was "Now a warning!". Did really well at the box office and it was heavily featured in rental stores when it was a new release, but then it really flew under the radar by the late 90s, not sure why.

[@chrissmith6097]

It’s sandwiched between 2 of the director’s biggest hits; BTTF3 and Forest Gump. And this movie was basically made to tinker with CGI and for the actors to have fun, since they were all playing against type for the entire movie.

Can't imagine what you would think of that one. As others have mentioned, she's also the daughter of Ingrid Bergman, the star of Casablanca.

[@markhousel2712]

She is really beautiful in this movie

[@keyman6689]

Thank you, Ashleigh! This was great! I'm sure I've requested it a time or two. The effects were mind blowing at the time. This was before photorealistic dinosaurs graced the screen the following year. There was a great deal of compositing too, so it wasn't all CGI.

Love it when you reference lines from movies I know you just recently saw and now you get it. Film is addictive and makes me feel a part of the whole. (That's what she said). Good job Ashleigh.

[@Little1Cave]

Yep! Goldie’s torso and Meryl’s neck were amazingly well done. The movie won its sole Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects, beating Alien 3 and Batman Returns. ❤️❤️

[@Flamebeard0815]

At least Meryl Streeps neck was a practical effect. For the hole in the torso, I think they used green fabric and some new CGI technic that was able to project and warp the background picture to fit the shot. I'd have to watch the documentary again to be sure, tho.

I am seriously becoming addicted to your channel. How could this movie not be great with these two ladies! Some of my favorite Goldie Hawn movies are Private Benjamin, Overboard (with her hubbins Kurt Russell), and (another one of my guilty pleasures) Bird on a Wire with Mel Gibson. I'm also betting you've never seen the Mama Mia movies with Meryl Streep. By the way, the lady who doesn't like to wear shirts is Isabella Rosselini and the beauty is definitely in her genes because she's the daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Ilsa from Casablanca). By the way.... Rocky Horror is coming next week! I'm shivering with.... well, nevermind, you'll see.

[@doomranger6047]

Everybody thought I was crazy that I loved this movie when it came out! It was a huge bomb at the time. But i just loved it so much! I’ve seen it 100 times probably. Over the years people started figuring out how hilarious, fantastic and oddly insightful it is. I remember seeing a talk show with Goldie Hawn fairly recently and she was so shocked at how many people love this movie. Pretty much all the questions they asked her were about death becomes her! Just shows you reviews don’t mean everything!

[@awkwardashleigh]

HOW WOULD THIS MOVIE BOMB!

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

@@awkwardashleigh same way Blade Runner bombed (twice if you count BR2049). Once Upon a Time in the West also bombed, and is now lauded as one of the best western movies ever made - if you get to watching westerns, give it a shot, along with Rio Bravo, The Quick, and the Dead, The outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider (Clint Eastwood westerns are a class of their own, but if you watch A Fistful of Dollars, then you'd have to see the original - Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa, and the prohibition-era retelling of the same story - Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis).

[@girlyghoul]

I always forget that this movie was considered a dud at the box office! I have to admit, I did not see it until it came out on video. But I've always loved it and wondered why it didn't do better. Must have been something else more popular was playing at the time. Or maybe people couldn't handle Die Hard Bruce Willis being a total wimp. But this movie ROCKS!

[@The3rdGunman]

Though I get your list, I wonder if Die Hard 4 only made it on there since I mentioned Kev. The film in and of itself blows. You even have to admit as a diehard Die Hard fan, that there has been nothing left after 3 and that one already had to compensate the lackluster story with Sam Mothereffing Jackson

I haven't seen this movie in years, happy to be seeing it again. And this was when Meryl started doing comedies and lighter stuff, which she's so great at, but at the time, people knew her for a decade of super heavy movies, many of which she did with various accents. She did this right after "She-Devil" (similar comedy). There actually is another reactor reacting to it today (or this week)(Reel Reviews With Jen)! Happy to see at some Meryl Streep films being done, although I'm really hoping someone does "Sophie's Choice" , a movie MADE for reaction videos, but I don't want to give away any spoilers.

Looking forward to next weeks Rocky Horror Picture show. It’s a fun campy film on its own, but it would be even more fun if you got a group that knows all the “Audience Participation” lines to enhance the fun even more. Some of my fondest memories (late seventies through the eighties) were every Friday and Saturday night at The 8th Street Playhouse (now gone😢) for the midnight showings of RHPS.

With an audience it is a different experience altogether. "With an audience it is a different experience" ($0.02 to Airplane!)

But as with every cult classic, you first need to appreciate it yourself. Otherwise it's just a bunch of weirdos overhyping something. Twilight, I am looking at you (not that I appreciated that turd at any point in time).

[@williambevins]

Saw this in a midnight movie showing before it was even famous. There was no audience participation or any hype before it so I didn't know what I was in for. My 20 year old self liked the music but thought the plot was at times dumb and other times disturbing. It did not go over well with the audience which consisted mostly of male college students. Now that I'm older, and more worldly, I get it why it's so popular.
