John Candy improv'd this entire speech from HOME ALONE (1990) on the spot because his character "Gus Polinski" was a last minute addition to the film. Candy filmed all of his scenes in one 24 hour crunch, mainly as a favor to writer/producer John Hughes whom he had worked... show more

John Candy Improvised this at 4am in Home Alone. Lol. He was Ok after 6-7 weeks. 😂🤣. John Candy wasn’t paid much for this like $414 Dollars, but I think he was given a point and after the Movie hit so big he raked in the money!

It's the great John Candy's birthday so here's a fun story: The night before they filmed this scene from SPLASH, producer Brian Grazer said that John Candy had gone out to party with Jack Nicholson until 5AM the night before, immediately came to set after to film the racquetball scene, and Candy played the character how he really felt: Extremely hungover. Grazer said, "The night with Nicholson, I think he overdid it, so he literally ran into the ball that hit him in the head." Amazing.

While filming Splash (1984), John Candy once arrived late to the set and delayed filming, which was unusual for the actor, who was known for being professional. According to Ron Howard, Candy profusely apologized when he arrived, and Howard told him it was fine and that they would begin shooting. Candy then revealed that he had not slept and was actually drunk. The night before, he had gone to a bar where he encountered Jack Nicholson, who recognized him and proceeded to buy him drinks throughout the night. Candy had told Nicholson, "But I've got to go shoot." Nicholson simply replied, "You're going to be all right, kid. Don't worry about it." Candy then went on to film his scene on the racquetball court, where he was hit by the ball, and managed to get it right in just three takes.

One of my favorite films. Steve Martin reflects on his time with John Candy, and the cut footage from the train station scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. The entire ending scene was cut short and changed to what we see now —which Martin couldn't understand why, as Candy wasn't acting, nothing which could come from a script, but being himself.

When T.I. said he was the King of the South… nobody questioned it. “24’s” served as a reminder white tees, candy paint, slabs on chrome you had to be outside for this one.

John Candy had a warmth that very few actors ever manage to put on screen. The laughs were always there, but what made him special was how easily he could make a character feel kind, vulnerable, and completely human at the same time.

Sometimes I feel that Ralph's entire character was to show how important money was to the mafia. Plenty of people were killed for MUCH MUCH less. The only reason that Ralph was spared, time and time again, was because he made a ton of money for the family. Eventually, he crossed Tony in a way that was naked and unmistakable. Had he kept his disagreements and disdain for Tony low-key, he probably would have been allowed to continue as he had

John Hughes considered "Career Opportunities" (1991) "cheap and vulgar", which was from an original screenplay of his, and he was also listed as a co-producer. But his suggestions, he says, went ignored. He tried to buy his name off the movie, but in the wake of "Home Alone," (1990). Universal would not accommodate him. "Suddenly I'm a commodity," Hughes says. "If 'Home Alone' hadn't come out, my name wouldn't be on 'Career Opportunities' four times. My big fear is disappointing people. It bothers me if even one person comes out of that theater and says John Hughes is a jerk because I paid $7.50 and look what I got." ("Him Alone", Bill Carter, NY Times, 1991)

Akira Kurosawa was 75 when he released his masterpiece Ran in 1985. Kurosawa’s adaptation of Shakespeare's play King Lear turned out to be one of his most memorable films despite the fact that it came in the later stages of Kurosawa’s career. When you watch a Spielberg film, a Lucas film, a Coppola film, or a Scorsese film, consider how much Kurosawa influenced them all with this film & his entire body of work, especially as those directors all enter the later stages of their careers.

Watch This Video to Know Why #AkshayKumar is the biggest flop actor of Bollywood right now.. Akshay Kumar could never become a super star, the reason behind this is releasing 4 films in a year and making all of them flop.. Even today he remakes 9 out of 10 films and does the same 1-2 films with worn out knowledge, when he saw that every one of his films started to flop, he clashed with #Gadar2 and made it overflow in Pankaj Tripathi's film in which he was doing a cameo, after that he named a big Bakwas film as Kesari 2 and kept giving Bogo offers every day, consider that the film is based on Bogo offer only..the biggest one It was surprising when they showed a film like Sky Force to everyone for free and the ticket offer was such that the public was watching it for Rs 20. The budget of a film like Welcome to the Jungle was 300 crores but its budget was reduced to 150 crores. A film like Selfie was taking an opening of 2 crores and a film like Bade Miya Chote Miya earned 50 crores instead of 350 crores. They wasted all the producer's money and now they are not even getting films. A film like Bhoot Bangla had full corporate booking. A film like Housefull 5 flopped even after taking corporate booking. Akshay Kumar could never give a 250 crore Hindi net in his life. An all time blockbuster in his life. He could not give it. He has given only solo blockbuster in his entire career, apart from this, the biggest record in his career is that 18-20 films flopped continuously after which he had to take Canadian citizenship. The film left by Sunny Deol saved his career and that film was also average. Today if we compare Akshay Kumar then it happens with actors like #ArjunKapoor , Tushar Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi...

In spite of the impressive cast of "Murder by Death" (1976), some had their doubts about how the film would do at the box office. Peter Sellers didn't realize how well the film would do. He wasn't pleased with his performance or the final film. He told producer Ray Stark the film was "the epitome of 8mm home moviemaking" and sold his percentage for about $1.3 million. The company David Niven's son worked for invested in the film expecting it to be a tax loss. Instead, "Murder By Death" became the number eight moneymaker of 1976. Niven responded, "So much for a tax loss? But isn't it rather alarming to have a son who has absolutely no faith in his old man's pictures?" Alec Guinness, however, considered Murder By Death "a very funny film." Guinness rarely went to Hollywood, but he liked the script so much, he made the trip in order to play Bensonmum. Guinness said, "The script made me laugh, and not many things in recent times have done that." ("Murder by Death", Deborah Looney, TCM, 2003) P.S: On this day, 50 years ago, "Murder by Death" (1976) was released in the USA.

Ryan Reynolds says when John Candy died they shut down the 405 and cops saluted his funeral procession from every exit "Comedians are canonized after they die, unlike any other profession. When John Candy died, they closed the 405" "The cops sat at every exit and saluted as his funeral procession went past. It's just a different thing that happens with them, because it's easy to underappreciate them" "When he died there were journalists that said all kinds of brutal stuff. And then in time, as it inexorably marched forward, he became a saint. And now he's a place and a feeling that we get to visit"

This guy had gone to the mountains in his car for a trip. He had crossed a river and was staying on its bank, but because of the rain, the water level suddenly rose a lot and the current became very strong. Now this guy was stuck on one side of the river. Crossing the river in his car in such a strong current was very dangerous because he could have been swept away along with his car. Then he did a mathematical calculation to figure out from which point he should start crossing the river, how much his car would drift with the current, and at which point on the other side he would reach after crossing. He prepared his route according to the flow of the water. And when he crossed the river in his car by following the exact same route, his car drifted in the water by exactly the distance he had calculated, and he reached the exact same point on the other side that he had predicted through his calculations. It was because of this guy's excellent intelligence that he managed to cross such a difficult river and get out of there safely. People like this are truly very smart, fearless, and intelligent. They know how to make even difficult problems in life easy.
