Whaaat?

Wonderful selection! Having hiked through England a while back, I stopped at a similar pub in a hamlet. At some point someone shouted "Keep clear the moors". The whole pub went silent. I looked up, then around, realizing everyone was staring at me. Trying to single out one of the many great lines from the movie that came to me, I replied in my best brit accent "oi, you made me miss!" The whole place applauded and laughed and I had people buying me drinks for the rest of the night 😂

This film fascinated Michael Jackson so much with the makeup work by Rick Baker and the director that he chose them for the music video “Thriller” which ended up being the first long form music video. Obviously the makeup effects in this still hold up today better than most CGI happening in recent years. One of the reasons it’s gone down as such a classic

This was the very first horror film to win the Oscar for Best Makeup, as the category was introduced in 1982.

Yep. The first ever Oscar for Make Up and Hairstyling because it was a brand new category. The Academy introduced it after there was an industry outcry that the stunning work on 'The Elephant Man' (1980) the previous year was not recognised at all.

It's a shame Rick Baker was forced to retire because of CGI.

From the same era, three more werewolf movies to checkout, "The Howling", "A Company of Wolves", and "Wolfen"

This movie blew minds in '81. The FX were ground breaking and as you've shown, they still hold up, I think better than a lot of CGI. The comedy was also kind of different to find in a horror movie back then and then of course the awesome soundtrack. Thank you so much, this was so fun. ✌❤

I read that after we saw the movie! He also played Jaehaerys Targaryen in House of the Dragon.

The wolf in Piccadilly was not animatronic. It was a guy in the wolf suit and head. He didn't use his back legs, instead he was pushed by a crewman, something like a wheelbarrow, but not quite.

The studio wanted John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd to play the leads but Landis wanted young unknown actors.

That skull on the desk looks real. I would have said to the doc “do you think this poor bastard wanted to be used as a pen holder”.

One of my all time favorites!!!

23:30 The stunt driver in the bus is the legend that is Vic Armstrong. He had quite a year in 1981 as he also starred doubling for Harrison Ford in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. He's had a stellar career in Stunt work and as a second unit director. There's a brilliant documentary on streaming called 'Hollywood Bulldogs' telling his story and the many other British stunt men and women.

Thanks so much for the fun reaction to this terrific film. One of my favorites.

"see you next Wednesday" pops up in every Landis movie is some way

The guy from the embassy was Frank Oz.

The fella who told the joke was Brian Glover, a fantastic actor who was in Kes, a film that’s so special to people from the UK from a certain vintage

What’s interesting about the Airplane poster is that the director John Landis not only directed the Zucker Brothers’ first movie The Kentucky Fried Movie but he in a way helped with the creation of the movie Airplane. It’s a long story but the Zuckers met Landis because they wanted to make a movie but they didn’t know anything about screenwriting and Landis gave them the spec script of An American Werewolf in London to learn the format in order to write their own script which became Airplane (a parody of the movie Zero Hour).

This is one of my favorite Werewolf movies the other being The Howling both have some of the best transformation effects ever. This movie also started my love for the work of Rick Baker.

The bald guy from the pub was in Alien 3

The nurse was also in chucky 2 and the railway children .also Rick mayall was in the pub

For effects there was this and 'The Thing', on the big screen these were amazing! The Benecio Del Toro 'Wolfman wasn't bad.

I recently saw a reaction to this movies with a comment saying the prosthetic artist had spent 7 months making the werewolf transformation face & was upset that it was only going to be on screen for 10 seconds until he saw it on the screen & was really happy with the effect. I fully agree this is the best werewolf transformation ever & as they say, 'We will never see their like again'. I often wonder if the magic of miniatures & practical effects will come back to movies & shows because they add a sense of realism that is missing in modern CGI. So glad to see another movie that was new to both of you that I saw that the theater on release & loved since.

4:25 gotcha

Such a cool movie. David was most famous for being a pepper, as in Dr.Pepper tv commercials. Griffen Dunn (Jack) is in a really cool cult movie After Hours. Actually directed by Martin Scorsese. Way different than what you’d expect from him. A movie he made around the time he made The Last Temptation Of Christ. He was having a real difficult time with that movie for a few reasons and kind of needed something different. It has several other good names in it and is one of those crazy things keep happening in the course of a night. Definitely worth a watch. Another cool movie in this sort of story telling is Into The Night with Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfieffer. And then there’s Something Wild with Jeff Daniel’s, Melanie Griffin, and Ray Liotta. Although that one takes place over several days. Should put all of them on your list.

All of the songs played have something about the moon. 4. Mr. Collins is played by Frank Oz. (Yoda, Miss Piggie and Muppets) 5. "Shakespeare's French" 6. It makes you wonder what the speed limit was in Piccadilly Circus. Landis wanted to have fun, and I'm not mad about that. 7. He had to die, and he expected it. 8. Favorite character: Jack 9. DO NOT waste your time (and ours) watching, "American Werewolf in Paris".

A little trivia from a viewer around Jen's age. The actor who played Jack is Griffin Dunne. His sister, Dominique Dunne, played the older sister, Dana, in "Poltergeist". Her boyfriend murdered her before the movie was released.

Would love for you guys to see "The making of Thriller" you will see Landis directing Michael and Rick Baker working on the make-up for Thriller.

It was done with hydraulics and in reverse

On weird pub names, I was a nanny in London back in the day and the pub at the bottom of our road was called The Goat in Boots. Also, just a gentle bit of info on the pronunciation of Jenny Agutter's name. It's ag-get-er. She was quite the sex symbol in the 70s and 80s.

I love werewolf films best

there was a sequel released in the 90s called an American werewolf in Paris. But had nothing in common with this movie. Max Landis (John's son) was rumored to be working on a direct sequel but so far nothing has come about. Landis makes an appearance in the car crash seen as one of the victuma being thrown through a window. See You Next Wednesday is a fake movie that has appeared in all of John Landis's movie. They are several Blue Moon song versions featured in the movie. The slower Sam Cooke and the doowop Marcel version at the end. Landis was unable to get rights to Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London

Bib Fortuna getting scoffed in the underground 😊

👍 There's a BBC audio drama retelling of this movie on KZread which expands the back story a little and features some of the original supporting actors reprising their roles. Also, the bald chess player /joke teller (Brian Glover) played the Warden in Alien 3. ✌️🤟🤘

20:59 Yep - John Landis' favourite p0rn film ! You'll see it mentioned in many other Landis movies such as 'Coming to America' and 'Trading Places' as well as the cinema scene with Jack here. The actors really were genuine British adult stars of the Eighties but it's original footage shot by Landis. The name comes from a line in 2001: A Space Odyssey but it's also a play on the abusive phrase 'C U Next Tuesday' and it's acronym....
