Uncle Buck | Buck To The Rescue

[@Wilditellya1]

Growing up as a rebellious teen, I too had a lovable loser for an uncle. Despite my parents not particularly wanting him to be around me for fear of me wanting to emulate him, what they never realized was despite his faults, he had incredible paternal instincts and was a safe place for me to unpack my issues. He died unexpectedly when I was 18, and watching Uncle Buck brings me a small level of comfort.

[@raven4k998]

you see you see the key is the facial expressions and words the power tool is just a prop for that if you want to get through with the kid

[@hucklebuckchuck7218]

I’m too irresponsible to have children and I’m 25 so I feel like I’ll be that lovable loser of an uncle

[@raven4k998]

@@hucklebuckchuck7218 you can be uncle Buck two point zero

[@Wilditellya1]

@@hucklebuckchuck7218 lol I get it. I’ve a Dad myself for 4+ years now and I still feel that way. Either way, never underestimate the power of an approachable Uncle!

[@trinaq]

Even though I didn't properly understand the scene until I was older, it was awesome that Buck still terrorised Bug, even after discovering that the girl he was trying it on with wasn't his niece.

[@janimal20]

And she was very obviously signaling she wasn’t into it and she was scared. Buck was everyone’s uncle in that movie

[@TarossBlackburn]

Bug still deserved it for trying to force himself on the girl.

[@JTISREBORN]

I love this movie. John Candy was an incredible actor who really shined in every role he was cast in.

[@derekllewellyn6663]

Do you know what I just love John candy he was in sesame Street area 50 years before 100 years and 60 years

[@sasquatch2753]

watch family woke guy, and they make uncles out to be pe do's .......................... im an uncle, and yup this movie inspires me.

[@txgunguy2766]

As good as he was, John Candy didn't have to do much acting in this movie. According to his kids, Uncle Buck was basically his real personality.

[@StanvilleBrown]

Facts, The Man was a True Legend!

[@themopar426]

his son says he wasnt acting in this he was alot like buck

[@Ge0rdieDan_]

"I don't wanna talk about it, I just wanna get you home" As both and Uncle and a father those words can resonate massively to a young daughter/niece. I hope when my daughters are this age my brother is looking out for them just as our Uncle Buck does!

[@trinaq]

Such an awesome moment, everyone would want John Candy as their uncle. Rest in Peace, John Candy, he's the real deal.

[@derekllewellyn6663]

I just love him really remember him I just missed him last time so much more information on his website own character life story ture life movie made in his life time years before

[@SFox-if9id]

That was the thing that made John Candy such a legend..he was funny as hell, but it almost hid just how brilliant an actor he was. That scene where he comes through the door, then realizes the girl isn't who he is looking for, the realization and heartbreak of everything she's going through, then his decision of what to do next. Every bit of it is on his face and expertly portrayed without a single world. We lost so much when we lost him.

[@savioryeo9344]

He was a great actor one of the best ever

[@savioryeo9344]

Thanks one of my favorite movies

[@Cyrus-3D]

The way John Candy/Buck Russel goes into horror character mode with the drill when he flips the switch again is sheer gold.

[@palmerlp]

As a kid I just loved Buck as a funny character. As an adult I am fully swept up in the genuine human story of a man trying to connect with his nieces and nephews.

[@abrahamlupis9354]

a man stopping his easy life of arranged gamblings and free of duties

[@user-just_here_for_the_likes]

Not the hero we wanted... But the Hero we needed.

[@chrisweidner4768]

John Candy is as a gift to humanity. His films are a joy. This is the America I would like the world to see.

[@jonjahr3403]

The look in Bugs eyes when he saw that drill come through that door know. Classic! What Uncle Buck did to him afterward, Priceless! As an Uncle of Five amazing nieces, I can relate to this guy. My brother in law and I actually pulled off Bucks hatchet routine with one's boyfriend. In a joking manner, of course 😁

[@Rikegile]

I can't stand over the fact that he's been gone for 30 years now. I'm so relieved that Universal Studios never forget their late, great actors, like John Candy

[@Rikegile]

1:37 At least, he’s got his hat back

[@gavingambuzza1824]

[@leojamesclune1730]

80s, baby!

[@txlyons2937]

After the cutscene between 0:41 and 0:54, we suddenly see Buck with a beer in his hand. One of the teens was gracious enough to hand him one. Or maybe he just took it from someone.

[@hectorlopez1069]

​@@leojamesclune1730smoking was allowed everywhere, whether it was a cigar, or a cigarette.

What a wonderful scene! Rest in Peace, John Candy, you beautiful actor!

[@seanmichael5508]

Glad to see universal finally recognizing John candy ❤

[@timboslice1979]

John Candy was a treasure! Rest in Peace along with Chris Farley. ❤

[@MarkFendy-sw7hn]

I really loved it when those teens were so respectful to Uncle Buck! I would've really loved Uncle Buck as a real life person and wish John Candy didn't died so damn early!

[@DanRyan-dt3uq]

He never failed to make me laugh. I felt so bad learning of his passing away

[@devinmceachern]

Happy 35th anniversary, _Uncle Buck._

[@hectorlopez1069]

Everyone loved candy

[@teresawright3122]

I love how John candy helped his niece tia out.

[@fayewitt9881]

I know! And he sure tought Bug a lesson that you don't screw around with his family and get away with it! I like how he got Bug back will what he'd done to his niece, Tia!

[@amjh4lah809]

I loved John Candy. Truly missed ❤

[@brydc0ck31]

Wish he could live more.

[@christophersmith9237]

Yeah, he was great in this one, and great in another John Hughes classic, *_"Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"._* Golly, that jolly fellow can perform in those films like nobody's business... and I'm sure you good people can attest to that. He should've gotten an Oscar or three.

[@beemerichie3037]

One of the all time greats! His movies were a huge part of my childhood…..

[@kevint.786]

People all have so many entertainment memories of John Candy, and he passed at just 44! Tragically young and yet so much to remember

[@michaelversace456]

I always loved how the car never stops rocking

[@TailyonDaath]

I have never seen a house this packed with a bunch of teenagers. Maybe I just went to the wrong parties. LOL

[@damienholland8103]

I did but there was always a fight and girls being overly dramatic. More stressful than it should have been.

[@Irish381]

Have you ever seen a John Mulahney stand up special? His entire Chicago experience is just as chaotic as this scene. Except for the fact that the cops were there to break up the party.

[@l337pwnage]

It happens, but with kids who have neglectful parents and usually have a lot of money. It's often not a good place to be.

[@Dom213]

Ive been to a few and its miserable. Cant move for shit and stuck in one place. Funnily enough the best place to be is at the beer pong table.

[@AnnalyssBurden]

The way she said what did you do!!😂😂 Like she wants to be in on it!! After all of that, I can understand why she wants to hurt Bug!! What a stupid name!!😂😂

[@castbet9183]

Yeah she dodged a bullet with someone named “Bug”

[@pricemoore2022]

One of the best classics!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

2:52 I just love the double look of disappointment on Buck's. He's disappointed that Tia isn't there but then is also greatly relieved but I guess also worried where is she. But he's also disappointed that this girl was also dumb to sleep with Bug

[@TarossBlackburn]

I have a handful of wonderful nieces, I wish I could one day be as good an uncle to them as Buck is.

[@hectorlopez1069]

What a great actor, always enjoyable and enormous in any movie he was in.

John Candy, legend of the 80s! I miss him so much

[@danielboudreau8404]

When I first watched this movie, there was nothing on this planet that could have prepared me for the cut to Buck opening the trunk with Bug in it. I almost laughed myself to death.

Everybody has that one crazy ass uncle lol

[@azrael9883]

love you john. It was great. I remember.

[@Hector-yl1kh]

Uncle Buck was one of John Candy's best 3 movies - "Uncle Buck", "Cool Runnings" and "Planes trains and automobiles". He was no great star of stage and screen but brought so much of himself to his films and there is so much to like and enjoy in this one. And the fun is so beautifully juxtaposed with some real emotional moments. Having said that, who can forget the closing moment of "Planes trains and automobiles" in the train station when Candy's character reveals his social isolation and pain and then Steve Martins act of love and friendship to help him. You've got a hard ass if you didn't cough up some real tears in that scene. A loss to the screen at just 42yrs of age. Rip John.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Uncle buck is the best one in my opinion.

He was the real deal in this wonderful movie. Rest in peace john candy.

[@Dylan-zf4xh]

This movie had me floored. My mom recommended we watched this movie, and it reminded me of Tommy Boy, which I found pretty boring and hard to watch, so I thought I would feel the same way. Needless to say, I felt like her afterward, totally resenting the movie, but I ended up absolutely loving it

[@Trepidity]

Classic. Rest in peace John. I still miss you.

Oh man, I forgot about this movie. John Candy was a legend.

Watched this movie for the first time about a year ago. I have always love John Candy and remember his hilarious role in Planes ,Trains, and Automobiles. Then I saw uncle buck and have been watching it over and over since. I'm 22 but love the old school films.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Tia was a bad niece to her uncle, but later apologized to him for being mean and selfish to him.

[@nightowl3285]

Love this movie

I hope if I was ever an Uncle or father I would want to be one like Uncle Buck, most likely I am and I'm glad I am
