Ashleigh, i recently discovered your channel and i love your movie reactions especially your comedy movie reactions they're hilarious.
Patsy Cline's original name was Klein. She changed it at the insistence of her record producer because of hatred of anything German.
"So i Married an Axe Murderer" is another must-see Mike Meyers film. It did lay the foundations for a couple of the characters in this series.
Remember the older professor in Anmal House that slept with the younger student's girlfrend...that was an older Donald Sutherland
Ashley love your reactions hope u feel better and u have to check out the burbs with Tom Hanks 😊
I think the billboard when it came out, with the iconic hand with legs flashing a peace sign with a helmet on top, proudly advertising: "M*A*S*H Doesn't give a damn!" summed it up pretty well. (Saw that board for at least six months -- it's burned in my brain.)
This movie was transformed into a T.V. sitcom that took a 2 year war and made it last for 11 seasons. There they switched the main character from Trapper into Hawkeye FUN FACT: The theme song is called "Suicide Is Painless" and it was eventually covered by MARILYN MANSON.
Lady, first things first, We all are counting on you! There are several one-liners and sight gags... So listen carefully. AND don't call me Shirley! Beware of flying shit. It might hit the fan!
I have to admit, that I've watched this movie quite a few times, over the past forty+ years. As an adult, I can now appreciate the subtext. I don't think the character named "Spear Chucker Jones would go over to well, these days.
20:34 No, that's a motorized puppet.
little beans ? now that made me laugh
They never really captured the magic of he TV series and as much as i love Donald Sutherland he couldn't replace Alan Alda as Hawkeye. Do yourself a favour and watch the series everything makes more sense in the longer format. Frank is an absolute hypocrite and a buffoon and Hot lips is an awful bully they bring all the humiliation they suffer on themselves. Although she occasionally gets over herself and shows flashes of empathy he is always a self serving weasel. I guarantee you'll fall in love with Radar just like we all did.
Oh Behave!! I think i enjoyed this way more with your reactions. Your enthusiasm was brilliant
You should watch the show! The story takes place in Korea, but was made when we were in Vietnam. I’m sure there a lot of references to Vietnam but I don’t know enough to pick up on them. A lot of Americans can’t differentiate between Asian countries. On the show sometimes the native people wear cone-shaped hats, which are Vietnamese, NOT Korean. FYI the show is less graphic and bloody.
well you should watch howard the duck. But you will need a drink for that movie.
Mobile Army Surgical Hospital
Does anyone rememeer that Tidy Bowl (actuallt Ty-D-Bol) was the brand name of a toilet cleaner?
Don't feel bad for it not being your cup of tea, Ashleigh. Dark comedy (and especially wartime dark comedy) is not for everyone. It's also important to keep in mind the time frame of the movie. It takes place during the Korean War, but it was made during (and it's about) the Vietnam War. It's kind of difficult to get your head around that and appreciate the nuances if you're not from either of those times.
Just saying the show is on Hulu in case you react to it! It's absolutely fantastic, funnier than the movie, same characters (even same actor for Radar). Laughs and cries! I grew up with it because my dad but still enjoyed it and even my wife liked it lol 😂
I would not miss Die Hard with a Vengeance for all the gold in your Fort Knox...
That steamroller scene is STILL my favorite goofy movie death
Mash TV series is a lot better it went for 11 years
Yeah the characters are much better developed in the tv show. Hawkeye and his pals act like frat assholes in the movie.
The MASH doctors gave the young Korean guy drugs so he would fail his entrance checkup for the Korean Army. The docs didn’t want him to die in combat (and lose their martini maker)
99% of the time any nickname you get in the military is because you did something stupid and or embarrassing.
Spearchucker is a bit of a racist nickname
@andrewward5891 that's part of the 1%. My nickname was Chewie because I'm 6'3,
Your people seem to think you'll like things that I could clearly predict you won't, and are shocked when that happens. I am not sure if they just wanted to gross you out or if they genuinely have no clue. I hope you have a better time with another film down the road
My best friend and me went to the movies one weekend. We didn’t know what to watch (this was 1997 so sometimes you just showed up at places to see what was happening). We wanted to see The Fifth Element. No idea what it was but the movie poster looked cool. And Bruce Willis. My buddy said a few times, “I kind of want to watch this Austin Powers movie. It’s like a spy comedy movie or something.” I said it sounds stupid and vetoed the idea. We ended up watching The Fifth Element in the theater that day. It was a great time to be in high school.
Luv ya Ash
MASH is set in the Korean War (1950-53) but it’s really more a reaction to the Vietnam War which was still going on when the movie came out.
MASH takes place 1950's and to friends Hawkey and BJ -one actor is from Animal house and the other is from Friends -he has black curly hair.
9:02 chest cutter also sounds like something that could the oppisite of saving someone's life.
The Dentist has a big “----“ that’s why the nurse smiled in the helicopter.
31:33....."Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" started out as a book in the late 1800s, Ashleigh. It's about a doctor who experiments on himself with a drug of his own creation, and releases the evil side of his personality. He calls it Mr Hyde. There are several film versions of the story, but I recommend the 1932 version very highly. One actor, Fredric March, played both parts (as Hyde he wore some amazing makeup), and he got the Oscar that year for best actor, the only actor to win that award for a horror movie.
Mash is zero out of five stars for me. The whole franchise sucks
Please let someone put forward Space Cowboys, Donald Sutherland, Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones and Rockford Files himself, Mr James Garner. MASH film was shite compared to the tv show. Better actors better comedy, and still kept the drama of the Korean war, we had tears of joy and tears whenever someone was lost on the tables.
In your defense, lots of those jokes were topical. This movie sparked one of the longest running and beloved television series of all time too. Yeah you missed a lot of the jokes, but realize the movie came out in the early 70s about a war 20 years before that.
This film was based on a book "MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, was written by Richard Hooker," The author wrote it under a pseudonym. The real authors were H. Richard Hornberger and W. C. Heinz Hornberger was a surgeon at the 8055th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Korea during the Korean War. So it's hard to say how much of it is exaggerated in the movie. Meatball surgery gives you all the blood and guts of war with people who became doctors and nurses to help people heal. It's got to be a special kind of hell. Doctors weren't a dime a dozen so they couldn't just be sent back home if they had mental issues developed in the course of their work. They could get away with odd behavior. To some extent.
What is important about this movie is that it created a new style of film making that became prevalent in the 1970's. Of course it created one of the biggest TV shows ever. The final episode is one of the most watched TV shows ever and was watched by as many people that watched the Super Bowl.
One of Donald's best performances is in "Ordinary People" costarring Mary Tyler Moore. Have your tissues ready if you decide to view it.
Dr Jekyll takes special medicine (probably coke) and turns into Mr Hyde, a sexy killer. By british writer Robert Stevenson. Painless has a big willy, hence the "see it angry" comment. America was waging the Vietnam war when MASH was released, its really a Vietnam protest film.
Point Break & Bad Boys before Hot Fuzz ideally
Q:"Why is this movie so horny?" A:Welcome To Italian Film. When in doubt they add more crazy, more sex, or both.
Interesting fact is that when the series aired in the UK on the BBC, it was played without a laughter track. It was required viewing for millions. I tried to watch an episode on a commercial channel many years later with the laughter track included and turned it off because it just cheapened the whole experience.
I watched the TV series in my teens in syndication and mostly liked it, though on rewatch it's a tad hokey. The movie didn't work for me to be honest. (Youngish side of Gen-X, born 1977. I know of critics who prefer the movie though.0 Radar is played by the same actor, Gary Burghoff, in both as mentioned. In the TV series Radar is a much more innocent and goodhearted character. As for Burghoff he's also a talented drummer, has a patent for a fishing tackle, and I think paints. He has a kind of stubbiness on three fingers on his left hand so Radar, the character, tended to stick his hands in pockets. As for the song I heard once that it is intentionally bad. Looking it up it says the title was decided and that the director said the song had to be "the stupidest song ever written". His teenage son wrote it. All that said the instrumental version isn't that bad and I know has been covered by several jazz musicians. I recall liking, I think, Paul Desmond's. (Apologies if I'm repeating info done before.)
No thanks, no sharing rona... nope! great movie though
I don't think anyone was prepared for this movie.
No Viagra yet. That wasn't invented until later.
If you want an early/interesting Mike Myers movie.... So I Married an Axe Murder
