Also a nod to Kline's previous film in the year before, Cry Freedom, playing in apartheid South Africa. While not portraying a Minister of Justice he deals with one as an anti-apartheid activist and journalist. The whole thing is based on real people and events. A good film.

One of my favorite parts of the whole movie is Kevin Kline (Otto) telling Archie's wife that if it wasn't for the U.S. they'd all be speaking German and then proceeding to sing the WWII era version of the German National Anthem. The whole movie is hilarious, but that part along with Ken accidentally murdering those poor dogs (and the funeral scenes) still make me laugh out loud! Thank you, Aria for making my day by checking this one out!! Its always so much fun just to see you enjoy a good comedy! Oh, and for what it's worth... The part where Otto smells his armpits before the comedic sex scene? You wouldn't believe how many guys ran around smelling their armpits after this movie came out! So stupid, but so funny! One last thought... You do of course realize how inappropriate it is for you to laugh that hard at Ken's stutter when Archie is questioning him? Hilariously funny to watch you crack up at it (as does everyone) but tsk tsk... Inappropriate! 🤣

@@ariachanson01 I honestly find that the majority of the funniest things in comedy come from situations that we really shouldn't be laughing at normally. I think that's what makes them all the more funny is the absurdity. That being said, the part that always makes me start laughing is when Ken starts trying to sing the answer and it sounds like a crow! "The Caw... The Caw..." And then how he says it perfect fine once Archie says it, lol. You are more than welcome, Aria! Its just the best way I know how to say thanks to you for always brightening our day with your reactions!

I'm glad you're watching comedies. I love watching you laugh. I don't recall, have you watched Monty Python's Meaning of Life yet? If you like John Cleese, you should react to his tv series after Monty Python, Fawlty Towers. Michael Palin also did a number of travel shows for the BBC in the 80s and 90s. Probably not real reaction material, but you might find them entertaining. Around the World in 80 Days, where he tries to travel around the world in less than 80 days without using air travel, Pole to Pole, where he travels from the North Pole to the South Pole, and Full Circle, where he circumnavigates the Pacific Ocean, all with the usual Michael Palin humor.

I love Fierce Creatures but a lot of people were quite down on it. Cleese said that the problem with Fierce Creatures wasn’t Fierce Creatures. The problem with Fierce Creatures was A Fish Called Wanda. By which he meant that Wanda was such a massive success, Fierce Creatures could never live up to it and would always be compared unfavourably. And people assumed that because it was the same cast it’d be the same sort of film, and were disappointed that it wasn’t.

Kevin Kline first met John Cleese on the set of "Silverado" (good western). Kline had total admiration for Cleese's professionalism and wit. They became fast friends. From that point forward - Kevin Kline's acting style took a complete turn. He quickly adapted Cleese's physical comedic style which we get to see for the first time in "A Fish Called Wanda".

A couple of fun facts: first, the entire movie came about when Cleese and Palin were developing a sketch that involved someone trying to get vital information from someone else who has a bad stutter. It's the only scene they share in the film. Second, the actress playing Portia is played by John Cleese's actual daughter.

YES. Kevin Kline never had a better role, and it is a movie so deeply in the tradition of Monty Python that it hurts when you laugh about it. They all did not expect the movie to be such a success, but it just hit the nerve at it's time. Wanda - well ... in case you did not notice, the fishes were named by Ken, and Wanda was his most beloved, so yes, Ken was secretly in love with Wanda, probably this is why he stopped stuttering after she kissed him. And why is Otto becoming Minister of Justice in South Africa? Well .... at that time, South Africa still had the ultra-racist Apartheid regime. And they thought it would be funny to let the stupid American have this role in the end ... Yeah, they really beat the shit out of all stereotypes about the US, but you have to admit - the role is, eh, stupidly funny. From the baseball cap up to Otto symbolically killing a baby seal on a poster to show his martial arts. Oh, and it is great how you noticed, that this is probably the only movie where you happily laugh about cute dogs being killed - several times. I think they might have thought about killing kids, too, in this movie, just to try out if they could get away with that, too. It is crazy how this movie proves the point, that you can literally make jokes about EVERYTHING. Something, that the Monty Python guys are famous for. I hope you come back to the the other Monty Python movies at some point. It is so good to see, how much fun you have with their kind of humor. Best regards, and have a great sunday.

in the ending they originally intended, Otto does die, but they decided it was a bit grim for this kind of comedy (nevermind the old lady dying I guess) so they changed it (and also, while Otto is obviously a dick, he's also a fun and funny character, so they didnt think audiences would like it if they killed him). Also in the orginal ending, Ken doesnt actually lose his stutter and instead goes something like "wait a minute! Ive lost my stutter! it's g-g-g... it's gggg... it's gggg-gg...", which I think is a lot funnier than him really losing his stutter. But I guess if he didnt lose the stutter he couldnt get that happy ending of becoming an MC :p I think the original ending is on youtube somewhere

>> “It's a really nasty movie, brutal, h*rny, sadistic. In short, it contains all the elements of a good comedy”, claimed the then 78-year-old director Charles Crichton - and who would disagree with him? This ingeniously convoluted farce thrives on the absurd and black humor for which the “Monty Python” comedians are known. No wonder: ex-member John Cleese wrote the script. Kevin Kline deserved his Oscar as an Anglophobic-tumber wannabe intellectual who prepares for the coup with Nietzsche's book “Beyond Good and Evil”.

When the film stated Otto became the Minister of Justice for South Africa it was a joke making fun of Otto's extreme right-wing character because back in 1986 the Minister of Justice of South Africa was a key figure of apartheid which was an official policy of racial discrimination against non-whites. Suggesting anyone held such a position would be offensive at that time so it was a joke, a dated joke but at the time people understood the subtext.

I do like "Portia" as a girl's name. A nod to Shakespeare's character in "The Merchant of Venice" it would seem.

One of my favorite comedies, that no one _ever_ reacts to, is 1979's "The Frisco Kid," a Western buddy comedy starring Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford. Please consider it.

Of note with Otto's ending is that South Africa at the time that the movie was made was still in the Apartheid era, which was a time of extreme and systemic racism. So, Otto emigrating there and becoming a "minister of justice" basically means he moved somewhere evil to take an evil job. So yes, from his point of view it probably was a happy ending. As to why Otto drives like Mr. Bean? He hasn't figured out that in England they drive on the other side of the street. And being, you know, *stupid*, he assumed that all of the other drivers are assholes instead of even slightly entertaining the idea that he might be in the wrong.

And, you know, it's not _technically_ a sequel, but this movie has a _spiritual_ successor in the movie _Fierce Creatures,_ from 1997. It reunites the same ensemble cast, though unfortunately, it didn't do as well at the box office. 🤷‍♂

Otto is such an odd character, in ways that are not evident at first glance. I mean, there are two kinds of people one expects to find in England; people _born_ there and _anglophiles._ He's _neither._ He spends the _entire_ movie complaining about England and the ways the English do things, yet at no point does he choose to leave.

Some of the writing in this movie seems to be playing to American stereotypes and perceptions of the English.

24:24 "Why are you wearing _gloves,_ Archie?" Well now, the English are generally glove-wearing _people,_ Aria. It might be more appropriate for her to ask something like, "Why are you wearing the _wrong_ gloves, Archie?"

This is my favourite comedy of all time. It’s a testament to how a tightly constructed plot makes everything funnier, in stark contrast to how baggy and ill disciplined today’s comedies are (The Fall Guy, Argylle are two recent examples of this).

There is a similar movie called Fierce Creatures (1997) that has the exact same cast and is as good, if not better 👍

29:32 "That is disgusting!" Sure, but more than that, it's cruel, because he's doing it just to torture Ken. You know, this movie has really not been especially good to Ken. I mean, of these four people, he's the only animal lover. George tasked him with rubbing out the old lady and he took three swipes at killing her _directly._ The first time, he managed to kill one of her _dogs_ and it broke her heart... and his. The second time, he managed to kill _another_ one of her dogs, and again, it broke her heart... and his. The third time, he managed to kill her one remaining dog and she _died_ of broken heart. So he finally _succeeded,_ but _what_ a costly victory. The whole time, Otto has tormented Ken by showing deliberate disregard for the well being of his fish and the other animals on his posters. No, this movie has _not_ been especially good to Ken.
