Synopsis:
That wild and crazy guy, Steve Martin, makes his film-starring debut in the wacky comedy hit The Jerk. Steve plays Navin Johnson, the adopted son of a poor black sharecropper family, whose crazy inventions lead him from rags to riches… right back to rags. Steve propels Navin through a string of misadventures-becoming smitten with a lady motorcycle racer, surviving a series of screwball attacks by a deranged killer, and becoming a millionaire by inventing the "Opti-grab" handle for eyeglasses-and shows why he's one of the hottest comic performers in the world.

I stood across the street with a friend of mine watching this scene being shot. The gas station no longer exists. Pasadena CA.

[@robbiekop7]

Wasn't the last random shooting in America though 😕

[@potassiumrichfoods]

I haven’t seen this movie. Are you saying the shooter is randomly targeting Steve Martin’s character?

[@richinoable]

​@@robbiekop7and not one gun has been grabbed. Nor has any gun right been infringed. Gun nuts stick together until the corpses hit the floor

[@Johnslist]

One of the best lines, now when I quote them people claim 'that's an old movie' - lighten up, Francis, they're classics. Like '220/221, whatever it takes' which became an engineering joke after watching Mr. Mom.

[@apwkastmaster2096]

True comedy 🤣

[@jacksrandomadventures2769]

i like that he doesnt care about shooting someone.. but wont go past the sign cause hes not carnival personnel

[@goldeneve]

“THE PHONE BOOKS HERE THE NEW PHONE BOOKD HERE” “HE HATE THESE CANS” This movie was everything Steve was fn RIOT the jerk was zany and I love every damm minted of it. Universal movies it’s fun

[@GulfCoastJohnny]

“It’s these CANS… He hates these CANS!!”

That gas station scene is an absolute classic.

My dad worked in that building through the window in the background when Steve was on the phone in Pasadena California😃He would go at lunch and watch the recording action😁The gas station was real but the church was NOT real, just there for the movie😆The Jerk is one of the BEST movies ever👍🏻ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

The Latino in the passenger seat was in EVERYTHING back then. If they needed a Latino gang member in a show, he got the call.

[@kevinedmonds6628]

Holy shit, Trinidad Silva from Hill Street Blues is in that opening scene AND Bill Macy from Maude later on. Hard to believe this was released the year I graduated High School, 1979.

[@infonut]

Bill was everywhere and well into the Maude series when this got made.

[@infonut]

Thanks to this movie, whenever someone drops a can of something, I now blurt out "He hates these cans!"

[@signbusa]

The guy with the glasses takes them off to drive. Haha

[@gamma1695]

That's because the guy is farsighted. He puts on the glasses to read the oil stick.

[@willisknapick4405]

Jackie Mason repairing a car? I've seen everything now....😂

[@kuhnsanuk]

I love the fact that he’s willing to kill somebody but trespassing on carnival grounds is a crime he won’t stoop to

Phone books. What a concept.

[@williamjones7163]

Nobody understood why I would get so excited about the new phone books arriving. Or about my special purpose. Or that I was born a poor black child, with no rhythm. This movie was gold!

1979 Cadillac Sedan deVille at the gas pump! 425 V8. When gas was around $1 a gallon.

[@stillnotwoke]

9:43 I had a gold '77 Sedan DeVille with the 500 cubic inch engine... that big boat could float with power, but stopping on a dime was out of the question! And, it never passed a gas station it didn't like...

[@jeffshadow2407]

@@stillnotwoke The 500 V8 was last offered in 1976. All 1977 Cadillac DeVilles had the new 425. The 350 Oldsmobile diesel was offered in 1978.

Yup: my 1973 Coupe DeVille averaged about 11 city 15 highway. But it floated down the road like mobile living room! And it had a 472 four barrel!

One of my favorite scenes: no diologue....just him after he cashed his big check, bought a Firebird, a pipe, Fedora with feather, and a big ugly oil painting. Yep, he is rich now.

[@MaryJane-ni8np]

My father was Italian, grew up during WWII in Italy (13-yrs-old in 1943). His English was never good and he had a hard time with American colloquialisms, but he loved this movie.

[@adamchurvis1]

I saw this in the theater during the first week of its release. I was eighteen, and when it got to the scene where he tries to read the Goodbye note in the bathtub I almost stopped breathing it was so funny. That, and talking to her while she slept about how long their relationship felt to him. Have any of you seen his serious work? Shop Girl was adapted from his novella, and Spanish Prisoner was written and directed by the great David Mamet. Two of my very favorite films. Bravo, Maestro Martin!
