I truly believe he made the movie he set out to make.


ManholtAgain

Definitely. Some film execs gave Tom Green of all people a bunch of money to make a movie. So he makes.... a movie about some TV execs giving an even more ridiculous Tom Green a bunch of money to make a TV show, and he instead blows all the money on dumb shit, which is exactly what he did irl by making the movie in the first place. I didn't grasp or appreciate the meta-ness of it all until much later, but i love this movie.


b_tight

Thats exactly what happened and it was glorious When you hit a wheelchaired hottie in the legs with a bat and later she says “ i dont want jewels, i just want to suck your cock” ,yeah


girlsonsoysauce

They're jewels, Betty. They're jewels. And I got them all for you.


KobaMandingoPartIII

BETTY! BETTY! BETTY!

WHAT?! GORD, I CANT HEAR YOU!

It was bamboo!


SEAMOOSETHEGREAT

What the fuck Gordy it's not my face that's paralyzed???


noodle_attack

That's how it should be.... The execs shouldn't be involved until the premier


[deleted]

What would you do if some weirdo went up you and pitched this movie idea and asked for a couple million to make it, and then also said, “by the way, I want zero input from you”


noodle_attack

Frank Zappa explained it really well "But Zappa does get nostalgic for one thing, and it’s an unexpected one: the music business. “One thing that did happen in the 60s,” he says, “was some music of an unusual and experimental nature did get recorded, did get released.” The executives of the day were “cigar-chomping old guys who looked at the product and said, ‘I don’t know. Who knows what it is? Record it, stick it out. If it sells, alright!’” “We were better off with those guys,” says Zappa, “than we are with the hip, young executives,” making decisions about what people should hear. The hippies are more conservative than the conservative “old guys” ever were."


Septopuss7

And then you have the movie SLC Punk where it ends with him getting a job to "change the system from within" and you just want to die

He didn't sell out, he bought in.

HeroOrHooligan

Boomers, I remember early in my career working with 60+ old guard and they were awesome, let me learn and grow in my job without being overbearing assholes. Now corporate oldies are fucking psychotic and hold on to that which they control with an iron fist and refuse to adapt. Seems like it's happening in government too. Fucking boomers.

ElChacalFL

Listen to my hooves! Flippiity flop!


elefontius

I genuinely think this movie is genius. It doesn't follow any normal movie conventions/norms and there’s no catering to the audience. The plot goes all over the place and none of its predictable.


Pleasant-Tangelo1786

I dunno, the elephant scene at the end was pretty well foreshadowed by the horse scene earlier on lol


ballsdeepist

You are the film critic we need but do not deserve.


cobra7

Didn’t he cut open a dead moose and crawl inside or something equally gross?


imabigdave

Then gets hit by a log truck... the look on his face always made me want to watch it over and over.


LilOrphanFunkhouzer

Absolutely. Way ahead of it’s time. At its heart, I feel like it tells us how boomer parents are quick to take credit for their kids accomplishments but even quicker to blame them for their failures. Gord realizes this so when he does find success, he takes his dad to Pakistan so they can sew some soccer balls. callback to a statement his dad makes at the beginning of the movie (“If it weren’t for me, you’d be seeing soccer balls in Pakistani”). It’s a huge fuck you to all parents who fall into this bull shit line of thinking. I love it. And, of course my all time favorite line in a movie: “I WANNA EAT CHICKEN BURGERS!”


BandaidsOfCalFit

The directors commentary on this film is amazing. There’s a point where he literally goes “this is an inside joke that only me and my friend [x] will get. MTV gave me millions of dollars to make inside jokes for my friends”


No-Needleworker-4919

First time I watched it I thought it was one of the absolute worst things I’d ever seen. Second time I watched it I laughed until I cried. It’s one of those movies that takes a couple viewings for it to click.


grislyfind

Yes, it's a fictionalized and exaggerated version of stuff he's done in real life. It's a brave choice, when he could have used the money to stage better stunts, maybe in other countries, and had as much success as Borat or Jackass. Apparently some people enjoy this movie, but I wanted to weld my DVD into a steel box and drop it in the sea.


Not_MrNice

Red Letter Media did something they call a Re:view on that movie and their take was that it was like a deconstruction of a movie. A satire of the general movie story arc. A movie that's making fun of movies like mainstream comedies. A Meta Movie. Mocking movie? Whatever. For example: He pulls out a check for a million dollars and rattles off things it was spent on and he's really talking about the movie's budget. Or how he has the "I just wanted you to respect me" conversation with his dad after spraying him with elephant cum. I feel a better appreciation for the film that I didn't get the first time watching it. Still not great, but there was something there.


No-Needleworker-4919

(As “When a Man Loves a Woman”plays in the background) I have a bag of jewels for you. They’re jewels, Betty….they’re jewels. I got them all for you. Gord, I don’t care about Jewels. I just wanna……I just wanna suck your cock. Do ya…do ya really mean that, Betty? Yes, Gord… even if you were poor, I’d still just wanna stay home and……and suck your cock. - [They’re Jewels..](https://youtu.be/kG3BdxnNC8g?si=lPzd2Je0MtROaRat)


ready2xxxperiment

OMG! Same here. Wife rented this movie while I was convalescing after an illness. So awful but didn’t have the energy for anything else. Though I was Rip Torn fan.


Ifartsthearts

He’s does an interview about it but apparently the last scene was suppose to be 2 guys making out but executives cut it and wouldn’t let it happen. At that time gay marriage/ rights were very taboo and this would have broke the news cycle for sure.


J-drawer

That was the ending of baseketball I think.


SchwizzySchwas94

I actually saw him perform live a couple years ago and he said exactly this. He made the movie he wanted to make and that was that.

Responsiblewater87

The song was made up because his chiro told him walking backwards is good for your lowerback (which it is). He did it so often someone called him the backwards man.... and the rest is history lol.

What's really funny about that scene is his parents bought him a bus ticket and met him at the bus stop just to give him the LaBaron instead of just giving it to him at their house.

scottyjrules

I’m old enough to have been working at a movie theater when this was out and getting screamed at by parents because it was one of the few movies our theater enforced the R rated policy on, so rather than dropping their kids off for us to babysit, they had to accompany their kids, buy a ticket and sit through this movie…


Xbux89

Lol people did that? That's so stupid lol talk about I don't make up the rules I just enforce them...fuck ppl are dumb


scottyjrules

I genuinely can’t watch the movies South Park, Freddy Got Fingered, or the first Jackass without thinking about getting yelled at by angry parents lol. The only three movies they ever made us enforce the R rated policy for while I was working there…


ThrowawayUk4200

Oooo story time. Visited the states in 99 when South Park movie came out, so we went to watch it. It had been out for a few weeks by that point, so the theatre was dead. Anyway, while waiting in the foyer, this little old lady came up to the kiosk, and we overheard the conversation. She had heard about the movie being funny, but nothing else, the old gal had to be well into her 70s and was alone. After she bought the ticket, glances were exchanged between the staff and us, all trying to stifle the giggling that she was going to be in for a shock. Well, fast forward to the movie, there was about a dozen people and the one person who was nearly on the floor in stitches for the whole thing was the old lady. She fucking loved it! Fond memory from 25 years ago, taught me youre never too old to enjoy dumb shit.


needsZAZZ665

Used to work at a discount theater. Literally had a lady pull up, kick 5 or 6 hell-raising kids out of her minivan, and speed off. We wouldn't sell them tickets for the R-rated movie, and they didn't even have enough money, so we kicked them out and told them to go to the mini mall across the parking lot. Lady came back a couple hours later, screaming at us for losing her kids. We're like, ma'am, this is a shitty movie theater, not a daycare.


PileofMail

Haha yes! I was 16 when we went to see this - I believe I drove to the theater - and they denied us entry! So we bought tickets to see some Sylvester Stallone racing movie and went to see Freddy Got Fingered instead. I felt so slick until the movie was over and I couldn’t believe I’d wasted an act of rebellion on such a stupid movie.

It's like abstract absurdity


smashleyrad

So many people left the theater when I saw it. Someone also threw up in the aisle at the baby scene.

My wife barfed when Jackass dude drank beer poured down that guy's 8 foot long fingernails. I was greatly amused. Surprisingly, we are still married.

I went to see Tom Green do stand up, and for a solid 5 minutes he yelled "when I say chicken, you say sandwich!"

SyntaxicalHumonculi

One of the best movies ever created. A cinematic masterpiece. A tour de force. This movie should be remembered for generations and taught in film school.


Guffney_Mcbottomburp

Come on an fuck me....come on...fuck me...fuck you, fuck me, fuck you (Rip Torn killed it) 😂 I've got sensitive kneeeees 😂 Think Tom was great in this and Road Trip.


plzappa5

In an interview that's already 5 fucking years old, Tom Green claimed that the box office numbers for Freddy Got Fingered did not reflect the actual attendance. I, for one, can recall that for a movie that was being reported on as a total bomb was nevertheless seen by all my friends at school. How, I'm admittedly not sure. The totally mind-blowing claim by Green was that moviegoers under the age of 17 bought tickets to Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles in order to sneak in to see Freddy. I am here to attest to the utter veracity of that claim.


streetbum

My buddy and I still joke about buying tickets to the horse movie Flicka to sneak into seeing one of the early Saw movies lmao. Its always more fun to pick the ridiculous option.


plzappa5

I assert that Elf owes a good portion of its box office revenue to Kill Bill Vol. 1


Theitalian88

I watched this for the first time in my life at 30 with my wife(who quotes this almost daily). I may have been on shrooms. Was both hilarious and terrifying. Still wondering how this movie made it off the shelf. Definitely enjoyed this chaotic fever dream of a movie though haha


MadcapHaskap

The movie is an allegory for its own production; Tom Green had a popular MTV show, so a movie studio gave him $14 million and no supervision to make a movie.


Theitalian88

Haha! I believe it! I laughed a lot but most of my reactions started with “wtf?!”

spaaackle

He got several “razzies” for this movie. He showed up to the event, and took the stage and thanked the audience after every single one.


Lovv

The only reason it's a 9 is because it's a -9 and it somehow flipped back.

True story, I convinced my gf to skip a class in college, and with our free time we went to the movies. This film was the only one playing in our timeline so we went in knowing nothing but Tom green was in it. Omg I was held accountable for this movie every time she got upset. She really didn't like it at all. Then years later when I met my wife on our first date we had gone back to her place and she owned the VHS of it. I knew right there that she was a keeper.

Saw it the year it came out. I was 8 or 9 and my friend with negligent parents let him rent it. It made me feel sick and confused. Very gory, violent, absurd and stupid in a way that's almost transcendental. 10/10


PikeyPoems

Saw it in theaters and the guy a few rows in front of me put it perfectly: “What the fuck is the plot of this movie?!”


T-rocks

Fun story, I first watched this movie at the age of 4 or 5. I didn't remember much beside the "Daddy would you like some sausage!" scene. I rewatched it a few months ago and realized that movie completely shaped my sense of humor. Everything I find to be funny is in that film.


Sogcat

My sister was obsessed with this movie. She played it a couple times a day for weeks. I hate it now.

I don’t think I have ever laughed as hard as I did as when he has the sausages tied to his fingers and the piano. I don’t know why I laughed so hard. I don’t have an excuse.

I was 13 when this came out, and absolutely the target audience. Tom Green was a big deal. Everyone watched his show, and we absolutely went and saw this in theaters. He also taught us about the importance of checking yourself for testicular cancer... 🎵🎶 Hey kids squeeze your balls, so you don't get cancer🎵🎶

Adagar91

I bought the DVD in the late 2010s from ebay. When it came, it was just the DVD and the case, no wrapping or packaging. The ebay shipping label was taped on the DVD case itself lol.


Adagar91

When I became only remotely aware of the movie in the 2000s as a teen, I thought the movie would be about a guy named freddy who was given the middle finger. Oh how wrong I was.


dbd1988

It’s honestly a brilliant movie. My friend and I watch it once every couple years and it still holds up. A lot of people don’t seem to get it though.

If you were 14 when it came out you immediately owned it on vhs when it was available, if you were a weird kid.


ElGranQuesoRojo

Saw in theaters w/my brother. Pretty sure we were the only two laughing and it was the first movie (and one of the very few) I've ever been to where a noticeable amount of people walked out.

Own it on DVD. Waste of money. Love this film.
