John Goodman & Rick Moranis were the perfect live action versions of Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Yeah, not Rick. Nothing against the actor, but seriously, what was that casting? Were Jim Belushi, John Candy (yes, I know he died March 1994, but filming began in August 1993), Jon Lovitz, Joe Pesci , or Dan Aykroyd unavailable?

[@rstein926]

In my opinion the casting except for John Goodman could had been better. Rick Moranis was ok as Barney but Joe Pesci would had been perfect as Barney especially because of his short height and voice. Catherine O'Hara would had made a great Wilma Flintstone. And even though she might had been too young for the role Ally Sheedy would had made a good Betty Rubble.

[@theryanreynoldsfan3674]

In my version this would be the modern cast everyone would want Mark Ruffalo isn’t fat but he looks like John Goodman and he needs to play Fred Paul Rudd has heart and cracks me up as Ant-Man so this is why I want him as Barney Omg Rachel McAdams is soo hot I picture her as Wilma And Selena Gomez I don’t care if she’s young she looks like Betty from The Flintstones

If they made this movie today, it would be all green screen/CGI with a handful of props. So unimaginative, compared to a physical set, in this instance! Most other kinds of films do fine with CGI for everything, but this one would have sucked. It worked for Dino well enough, though.

Explanation please

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

@@Scoobydude-qp5mt it's a dark joke because The Flintstones are usually family-friendly. So the idea of a family member getting sacrificed would be scary hearing that in the Flintstones. However, Flintstones did take place during cavemen time for they believe sacrifice would bring good fortune. Making the joke funny for adults.

really a crime that such films are no longer made. The sets alone there shows so much love and hard but good work that pays off and gives a film a world that feels realistic.

Such good actors for films that are not an Oscar drama or summer blockbuster like Marvel and co. play and make an effort to give a good performance and don't just see it as a quick cash grab like everyone else who doesn't work on the two types of films mentioned today.
