This Scene from The Flintstones Has the Craziest Practical Effects | Comedy Bites Vintage

Take a look at the insane practical effects from the 1994 kid's classic, The Flintstones.
What is The Flintstones (1994) about?
Make way for the modern Stone Age family as they make the jump from animated favorites to live-action heroes! There's trouble brewing in Bedrock: a test mix-up has made Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) a vice president at Slate & Company, and now an evil executive (Kyle MacLachlan) and his sinister secretary (Halle Berry) are plotting to use Fred as the fall guy in an embezzlement scheme. Luckily for Fred, his best friend Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis), wife Wilma (Elizabeth Perkins) and her best friend Betty (Rosie O'Donnell) always have the big guy's back in this yabba-dabba-doo of an adventure! Elizabeth Taylor co-stars in the "Steven Spielrock" production filled with dino-sized special effects and classic Flintstones humor.

As awkward as this this movie could be, real heart went into its production.

[@edwardayala4314]

Enjoyed this as a kid. A real attempt of a cartoon adaptation without any sort of concession of the original characters. And of course the comical foolishness that made the Flintstones funny for kids and humorous for adults.

[@Mio248]

I never thought about awkwardness as a child. I just enjoyed.

[@beauwalker9820]

​@@Mio248 Yeah, it's no more awkward than the cartoon honestly, and I'm glad unlike most "modern adaptations," they tried to keep it a family comedy (even had actual sitcom writers work on it, to give it that feel of a TV sitcom) with some occasional cartoony jokes. (Like the dinosaurs remarks.)

[@machoman6969]

As a kid I thought It was amazing. Now as an adult I'm afraid I find it amazing.

[@WULDORI]

lol not to mention the occasional zippy one-liners

[@Chronocrits]

Ahh yes. The time of adaptation when real heart went into it, and there was a genuine attempt to be faithful.

[@professorchaos5058]

Nowadays it's "F the fans" I'm doing my version and if the fans don't like it they're racist

[@beauwalker9820]

​@@professorchaos5058I don't understand the demonization/accusation of potential customers strategy. It never works, and turns most customers off. The media has done that since 2016 with the controversial all-female Ghostbusters reboot. They tried to accuse fans of, "you all hate it, because it has women in it, you must hate women" as a cheap deflection against criticism, but it didn't work. So honestly the entertainment industry needs to stop demonizing it's own customers. Yes, some bad fans exist, and "bigoted" ones, I won't deny, but when you label most or all older fans/customers as such, or brag how your new adaptation will upset "old fans," don't complain if it fails... It's sad when the best modern adaptations are based on Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

That's why he was tied up more than Pebles. The kidnappers realized they needed extra precautions. Admittedly the straps did look weak, though. Should have gone with chains. They would have been made of stone or wood, but it would have looked more convincing.

[@AllyBee-vi5gv]

He was probably too scared to break out of the bindings.

Outstanding movie. Most props were real creations and not CGI. Just imagine how cool and fun that was for the acting cast. 😃

[@thomasb87]

Best casting decision ever.

[@Avalon64]

after watching a behind the scenes about this movie, its very sad Goodman apparently didn't like the idea of being Fred, he only did the part as a favour for Spielberg but told him he immediately wanted out after this movie to avoid being typecasted hence the idea of doing the sequel as a prequel so they could cast new "younger" actors...but any chance for live action flintstones continuing literally went extinct when Goodman walked out...

[@chutindrachodi4764]

​@@Avalon64 Why didnt he like it??? Many viewers enjoyed his acting and how he fits the character.

[@Avalon64]

@@chutindrachodi4764 I just said it, type casting concerns, he just didn't like the idea of being known as a cartoon caveman and he personally told Spielberg he wanted out and didn't want to do it again, sadly in interviews at the time when he talked about the movie or the merchandise with his likeness you can kinda see the reluctance in his voice, just because an actor plays a character perfectly doesn't mean they like it like say Harrison Ford and Han Solo

[@axelwulf6220]

I'm actually glad I got be there for when they announced this movie, and Holy Hell was there "merchandising, merchandising, merchandising" McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Hardee's, Arby's, Blockbuster, Toys R Us, Stone Punk fever was everywhere brought to us by the Flintstones And it was as faithful to the source material as you could get In fact, this was the closest anyone ever got to a true adaptation, based on an old TV show

[@TsuNaru]

So here's what I don't get... that whole aptitude test was designed to pick the "fall guy" for Cliff's scheme. Why would he choose the smartest employee for that role and not the dumbest? A smart, sharp employee would have seen through his scam. In that way, the plot would have made a lot more sense if Barney didn't switch the tests and Fred just got picked because he WAS the dumbest and most likely to be swindled and manipulated. Been awhile since I saw this in its entirety though.

[@JasminLeblanc]

Maybe the aptitude was just a front and Cliff already had chosen Fred since he his known to not be the best?

[@davidmartinez3272]

The test was a plot device to make Barney feel jealous and resentful towards Fred when he got rich and successful thanks to him. Other than that it doesn't make much sense

[@TheGameCapsule]

@@davidmartinez3272 you're right but they still could have done that plot device if Fred was picked for being dumb. The point is he would still be picked as if he were smart.
