Agreed. I've seen SLOT at least 15 times, maybe more.

Isn't "Seems Like Old Times" the one where the end of the film has Goldie Hawn in the woods, in the rain, and she comes upon a log cabin, so she goes there for shelter, and lo and behold - her old boyfriend Chevy is there, and the end screen-shot is Goldie giving her famous smile.

is that the film? I think I only saw that part of it. Whatever lead up to that ending, I have no clue. Guess I have to check that film out, as well!

Check list:
01: Three Amigos
02: Seems Like Old Times

Yes. Yes it is. You'll be craving chicken pepperoni as soon as you're done watching it. But not before you have your feet scraped.

'Groundhog Day' would be my pick for the best comedy movie.

But in reality it is YOU that is the copycat scott1598!!

Never heard this story. IMDB says the scenes were cut by Landis?

Anyway, I had to go with Animal House, but almost all of these are great movies.

Cut by Landis, but Landis was influenced by Chevy Chase, who feared that Kinison's scenes would steal the movie, so he gave Landis some kind of ultamadium. Landis ultimately chose Chevy over the yet unproven Kinison.

Where exactly is that located on the periodic table?

Bullz-eye: I know his scenes were deleted, but I read that Sam originally had some scenes in “Three Amigos”.

Bill Kinison: Yeah, we shot it in Arizona, and he had actually had several scenes. He played a mountain man that just wouldn’t die. They shoot him and he wouldn’t die; they stab him and he won’t die; they drown him in a river, from which Sam caught pneumonia, and he won’t die. But Chevy Chase, after seeing the dailies and everything, said he wouldn’t finish the movie if Lorne Michaels left Sam in, because he felt like Sam stole the movie. So they still had to pay Sam but he was never in any scenes that was released. I told Lorne, “What, Chevy Chase runs your business now and everything?” And he goes, “Bill, we’re into this movie. What am I going to do?” But, yeah, I guess no one will ever see that footage, but it was hilarious at the time.

Odd. There's no reason not to put out a deleted scene at this point. Three Amigos is what it is at this point. No deleted scene is going to change people's perception of the film now.

Buttmunker 03-23-10 01:15 PM

Re: Best Film by original SNL Actors (Ackroyd, Murray, Belushi, Chase)
 
I agree the scene should be shown in "Deleted Scenes." It could only make the purchase of the film better, and shame on Chevy if that story is even remotely true. It's no secret in Hollywood that Chevy is kind of a douche. I don't doubt the story.

Buttmunker 03-23-10 01:16 PM

Re: Best Film by original SNL Actors (Ackroyd, Murray, Belushi, Chase)
 
And it makes me mad that Chevy would hold his foot down on Kinison's head in an attempt to drown out the man's career. Would Chevy have liked that if someone did that to him when he was first starting out?

Do unto others as you would like done unto you, Chev. Words of wisdom for a peaceful world.

Given that I've never found Sam Kinison funny, I applaud Chevy's brave decision. :p

Driving Miss Daisy?

That makes me hate Chevy even more, but doesn't surprise me. I could easily see Sam stealing a lot of the film with a character like that.

Actually, Jessica Tandy appeared in General Electric Theater, not Electric Company. Common mistake.

Yes. Any other films of which you'd like to spell out the ending?

Would you say you had a plethora of Three Amigos viewings?

SOTL is a great movie.

Jodie Foster was amazing in that movie.
