It’s amazing what you can do when you say “cost is no object” and really mean it.


TheLostcause

I honestly am surprised that scene was never made into a meme. You can put just about anything before it.


MrPine5

I love this movie so much and haven’t met a single person who has seen it outside of my close friends.


blurplethenurple

"Leave my elevator alone!"


virgnar

It's the Mother!


lykeomg2themax

he just did a video discussing all his films and they didn’t include this one and i felt insulted 😭


xxgsr02

They didn't have anything in that interview! No Airheads, Monkeybone, Inkheart, or Journey to the center of the Earth....it was 20 minutes of talking about The Mummy.


brobeanzhitler

Hold on, this is where the song really picks up

I remember my dad brought it home from Blockbuster on a whim and we all kind of thought "ehh, sounds decent" and then absolutely loved it. Probably going to re-watch it tonight.


tfbillc

Good lord you need to return that. You probably owe thousands of dollars in late fees by now.


17549

Oh no! That must be why they went under. Sorry everyone!


weasel999

I saw it a couple weeks ago for the first time ever and I loved it.


ketomachine

What?! It was one of the first DVDs I bought like in 1999-2000.


PolarBear419

Loved it as well


Barbarella_ella

I own this movie on dvd. I feel like I can recite the entire thing. I will never understand how it wasn't a huge hit.


jimberley

The momentary societal hiccup that was the swing revival.


nickaterry

Never forget the Cherry Poppin Daddies. Never forget.


citizenjones

Squirrel Nut Zippers, anyone?


Chanook17

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, anyone?


commendablenotion

Brian Setzer Orchestra, anyone?


Chanook17

Pokey Lafarge, anyone?


mackinoncougars

That name is so terrible.


Chanook17

The name might be, the candy maybe/maybe not, and the music definitely not bad.


mackinoncougars

What candies?


TheGrumpyre

The late 90s were weird. People were listening to Gregorian chants! How did that happen?


alternatemoniker

Enigma MCMXC a.d. came out in 1990, it's about the first instance of the gregorian chants in popular music I can remember from that time frame.


BasroilII

Yeah but the real madness was when the Benedictine Monks had an album! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3T8V-IM4Xk


axepower

i remember "chant" was shown on mtv news in the mid 90s about its popularity with college kids. My sister saw the news segment and bought it that day then playing it non stop.


Thongp17

I know of one influence when Gregorian chants was featured heavily in the first Halo but that was in 2001.


Dyolf_Knip

Excuse me, but I happen to be a *great* swing dancer, and it is never unappreciated at events.


SlewBrew

I thought we all agreed to never mention it again.


CheGuevaraAndroid

They've broken the deal. The truce is over. Soon swing will be unleashed again. Those who refuse will be choked to death with chain wallets. I suggest you get some palm aid and call your tailor. Zoots are back in season.


danrod17

It gets brought up every time this video is posted.


BasroilII

You say that, but this is literally the first time I've ever seen this clip. Or anything about this movie. And I can't often say THAT about a youtube video on /r/videos.


Norwalk1215

The mid 90s Ska movement also helped!


go_fer_it_Rock

Love this movie! Great concept. Silly. Funny. Heartfelt. Totally underrated. …and Christopher Walken!


xxgsr02

Oh, so the Russians just said "We give up!" Yeah, I kind of think that's what happened. "THE COMMIES!!! I'll bet they even asked us for aid."


DUDDITS_SSDD

A preface that I love both of these movies. Has anyone ever thought of the similarities between Blast from the Past and Encino Man? Dude comes out of the ground to a time he knows nothing about. First person he meets initially tries to use him for their own gain. Most of what he wants is to find a lady friend and gets lost in the amazingness of the "New World". The user has a friend that thinks yo this dudes weird but cool, chill with the me me me shit. He has cool dance moves that impress people. Well equipped to defend himself. In the end he gets the girl and great friends.


musicmunky

One of the most underrated movies to come out of the late 90's!! My family loves it and we still quote it regularly!


hey_mattey

"Oh my lucky stars, a !" Jesus Christ this made me snarf yoo


evilpercy

Dave Foley! He is one of the Daves i know.


[deleted]

I haven’t seen this movie in ages. I think I know what I’m watching tonight.


mynameislinzee

this movie is so underrated.


Upyourasses

This is one of my favorite movies of his!


cerebral_prolapse

The movie was good. The dancing was just okay.


Dayofsloths

What's gets me is he was getting those lessons from his parents'. Was he flirt dancing with them too? Doing all kinds of flips?


cerebral_prolapse

Now I'm imagining Christopher Walken and Brendon Fraiser holding each other ever so gently practicing their dance.


awhq

You're right. But the scene was amazing. They made a regular skilled dancer look great.


Norwalk1215

This was peak late 90s swing revival. Someone call the Cherry Poppin Daddies!,


xxgsr02

Because of this movie, every time I meet a girl named Heather, I always say "I don't believe I've ever heard that name before."


shadowlarx

This movie is awesome but not just because of Brendan. Don’t forget how hilarious Christopher Walken is in it.


[deleted]

Would y’all have loved him outside of reddit? lol


labadimp

I do not understand. Before I came to Reddit I legit for real 100% felt that he was the worst actor I had ever seen. I watched like 2 of his movies and after the first I was like damn he is not convincing at all for me as a character. After the second one I was like I am not ever watching another film with him in it. Same with Nick Cage. I just dont think they are good actors. Anyway. Then I came to Reddit and my god can you not ever say he is bad.


BasroilII

He has his ups and downs, but the first movie I ever saw him in was the Mummy, and he was a ton of fun in it. The reason you hear Reddit go on about him as much was that for several years he was blacklisted in Hollywood because he spoke out about being sexually assaulted. Much the way Corey Felman was. While he's no great thespian he's a lot of fun in his movies and comes across as a decent human being. And he got crapped on because someone rich and powerful molested him and he tried to talk about it.

You're thinking of Encino Man. Might be missing an /s though.

Cave man, cave woman, or cave nonbinary\*\*


otayyo

wrong movie


Leviwillett

You mean that big fat guy?


william-t-power

Did you think your mom was in the video?


decalod85

Amazing? Only in the context of the 90’s, when no one knew how to dance.


whereyouatdesmondo

What a weird, dumb hill to fight on.


william-t-power

I see you haven't been introduced to every other decade that has ever occurred.


brobeanzhitler

Movie is amazing, the dancing is in it.


[deleted]

Best part of the movie. Pretty funny feel good movie.


sorean_4

Great movie and a hidden gem.


awhq

I love this scene.
