Most Cartoony Scene in a Live Action Film?

[Matt Yorston]

Okay... so this thread mainly deals with live action but since it sorta relates to cartoon gags, I thought I'd bring this up here...

Simply speaking, what have any of you seen from a live action film that you felt to be decidedly "cartoony" or seemingly inspired by a cartoon? Here's some of my picks...

In the Night Court episode, "Yet Another Day in the Life", the court house water pipes are leaking badly. Well-meaning bailiff Bull attempts to stop the leak by sticking his finger in the pipe. It works but, sadly, the leaking water just pops out of another part of the pipe. Luckily, Bull has 2 hands... he plugs up THAT leak with his other hand. But as fate would have it, the water pops out yet ANOTHER part of the pipe, this time directly above his head. With both of his hands plugging the other 2 leaks, he has no other choice but to open his mouth and swallow all the escaping water! The next long scene deals with Harry trying a man who suffers from "Tortoise Nervosa" (i.e. he is the world's slowest person) but after the trial is settled for the day, he leaves the courtroom with Christine and encounters Art who tells Harry he is just going to shut off the water (problem solved) and Bull who is shown from the chest up letting out a loud, contented belch. "Session over?", he asks Harry with a groggy, water-logged voice. Harry and Christine both nod their heads in agreement. The camera now shows a full-body shot of Bull whose body has inflated to outrageous proportions (from swallowing tons of water, natch!). The blimpish bailiff now sloshes over to the Men's Room and exclaims, "See ya Monday!"

In another Night Court ep, "The Blues of the Birth", Christine is about to deliver her baby but gets stuck in the elevator she boards which has snapped a cable. A handyman is able to crank the elevator car directly up to the next floor where Christine is let safely off, along with her new child (i.e. she gave birth while stuck in the elevator). As Christine is on her way to the hospital, Bull looks inside the elevator and notes, "Oh no. Christine forgot her shoes!" Helpful as always, he enters the elevator, hoping to retreive them, but his weight causes the car to plummet down twelve stories to the hard ground. The concerned co-workers run down stairs and ask, "Ya all right, Bull?" Bull (who, formerly 6 ft. 8, is now roughly about 4 ft. 11) responds, "Sure. In fact, my sciatic has never felt better!"

Lastly, if you're familiar with the 3 Stooges, many of their shorts offer "cartoony" sight gags, despite being filmed in live-action. A few examples...

In "Corny Casanovas", after Moe believes Larry to be stealing "his" girl, he knocks Larry to the floor, then shoves a fireplace bellows in his mouth and begins pumping furiously. All the while, Larry's stomach begins expanding to roughly the size of a hot air balloon. When Moe is finished, he presses his foot against Larry's stomach, causing him to expel all manner of soot through his mouth.

In "Bubble Trouble" (remake of "All Gummed Up" but this new scene added), a concoction turns landlord Amos Flint into a vicious gorilla who turns on the boys. He furiously grabs Moe by the legs and beats his head against the floor. Larry comes to the rescue, knocking the chimp/man out with chlorophyll. Moe is saved but his head is now flattened out (he looks sorta look a human version of Dick Tracy's "Flat Top"). Shemp offers to help by hammering his scalp back into its proper shape with a hardware hammer. After a few hard bonks, Moe's head is back to normal but the hammer itself is now badly damaged!

And, lastly, in "Idle Roomers", bellhop Curly must carry a very heavy trunk to a hotel room tenant. Unfortunately, he is walking on a carpet which Larry is pulling backward trying to "repair" it. Needless to say, Curly continues to walk onward, entirely in one spot. The weight of the trunk causes his legs to buckle down sideways as if they were made out of rubber (ya really gotta see this one!). A quick jerk upward and the knees are back to their normal shape.

Phew! This was a LONG (but hopefully interesting post). Anybody care to add to this thread?

[Patrick McCart]

Young Frankenstein has quite a few (Mel Brooks' movies are usually cartoony and very funny)

[Matt Yorston]

What the heck... Here are a few I just remembered (yes, these also involve "Night Court" and the stooges, both of which almost seem to be "Human cartoons" at times).

In "Hello, Goodbye", Bull arrives to work drunk and stuporous, having been drinking heavily due to his sadness regarding the death of fellow bailiff Selma. Harry goes to "sober him up" with some food but orders Dan not to let Bull out of his office. Dan warily agrees. The second Harry leaves, Bull decides he wants out (what timing!) but Dan tells him he has to stay while blocking the exit. "Let me out....", Bull slowly cautions, "... or I will invent the human PRETZEL!" Not quite understanding the situation, Dan's answer is still "No." We now hear a violent scream from inside Harry's office, after which Bull opens the door and leaves. Later on, Harry comes back with the food and comments that he heard what "sounded like a cat caught in a wine press". He encounters Dan who is now literally shaped like a pretzel with his arms and legs twisted all about! When asked what happened, Dan answers, "Bull wanted out. I got in his way. And Bull... 'twisted mister'."

In "Harry and the Tramp", the main plot deals with Harry dating... well... a tramp. The subplot involves Bull getting his fingers glued to his forehead while attempting to repair Roz's coffee mug which he broke. At episode's end, Bull lets out a loud off-camera yell. Harry asks what's wrong. Roz responds, "I found out Bull was the one who broke my mug but he fixed it." Roz now holds up a VERY badly repaired mug. "So I fixed him...", Roz adds. Bull, hands out of shot, comes back onscreen explaining, "Roz just tugged and tugged until my arms came free!" Harry is happy but reminds Bull court starts in five minutes. Bull replies, "Okey dokey", and holds up his arm to inspect his watch, after which we discover his fingers are now long and stringy like strands of spaghetti, much to Harry's wild-eyed bewilderment!

In the Stooges short, "I'll Never Heil Again", Moe Hailstone invites guest speakers into his office, one of which gives Minister of Propaganda Curly a water ploka which Curly confusedly attempts to smoke. He sets it down, then fumbles for it, accidentally grabbing the cord from a gas radiator instead of the ploka and places it in his mouth. While "smoking" the cord, his stomach expands from inhaling the gas until Curly is practically four times as wide as he used to be. Discontented with the ploka, he tosses it away and attempts to smoke a cigarette instead. After exhaling the smoke, he also exhales a single flame (from the gas) which proceeds to burn off the beard of one of the guest speakers who responds, "You burn up me!"

Yes, and in BLAZING SADDLES, Black Bart pulls a Bugs Bunny and hands Mongo a "candygram" that explodes in his face.
They even play "Merrily We Roll Along" during the sequence!

As regards the Stooges - In one of the interviews Moe Howard gave in the early sixties he actually descibed the Stooges on-screen antics as "like an animated cartoon - Curly gets clouted with a piece of pipe in one scene, but in the next he's okay!":)

[DR. BELCH]

--short film "Out West (1947), Shemp flips a coin in the air, but has trouble drawing his pistol to shoot it. "Hold it!" he says, and the coin freeezes in midair, giving Shemp enough time to work his pistol out of his holster and fire. It looked like something Tex Avery would've done. To say nothing of the "ickey-may" scene...heh heh heh.

A few more--
*Wile E. Coyote apears in Night Court before Harry's bench.
*Chevy Chase gets scared and runs through a wall, leaving a hole shaped like his body at the end of one of his pictures (he's trapped in an offbeat mining town plagued with subterrranean fires and ruled by an ancient judge, also starring Dan Akyroyd and the late John Candy, plus an appearance by Humpty Hump and The Digital Underground).
*Steve Martin's 360-degree head turn in The Jerk after he realizes how fat his royalty check is.
*Arnold Schwartzenegger in The Villain--he was the white-clad hero, and the incompetant black-clad bad guy used a lot of tricks right out of Chuck Jones' Roadrunner shorts.

[PorkyandDaffy]

You could basically pick out any scene from a Stooge short. They're living cartoons.

[Greg Method]

Let's see, among the many of such gags in "UHF" (coming this summer to DVD!!!)....

George (as Rambo) catching a bullet in his mouth and chewing it, then spitting a la a machine gun at his attacker

George (as Indiana Jones) turning his head around 360 degrees to look behind him

George (again, as Indy) being chased by a boulder that turns and changes direction to keep up with him

Indy-George being flattened by said boulder

A member of the Klu Klux Klan gets hit on the head with a chair, and his whole head squishes under it

Stanley hides from some hired goons in an office and blocks the door with various chairs, the desk, etc. The thugs smash in through the window, forcing Stanley to remove all the items from the door to try to escape

....among others

OT, remember "Wheel of Fish"? LOL...

YOU SO STUPID!!!

[sealwhale]

Here's an obvious one: The Mask
Much of the movie is basically a live action tribute to MGM Tex Avery.

[Captain Caps]

Blake Edwards' "S.O.B" was like a cartoon, but in more of a "South Park" meets "Animaniacs" kind of way. 2 Examples:

-The hero, a suicidal film director (Richard Mulligan) falls through the floor of his 2-story house and lands on a gossip columnist (Loretta Swit). Sort of a human anvil, as she survives, but is laid up for a good portion of the picture.
-The use of "Polly Wolly Doodle" as the most frequent musical cue (Stalling-esque in the use of a particular theme)

Sincerely,

John "Captain Caps" Kilduff...

It's a great movie. I recommend you see it.

[Lonestarr]

Dr. Belch, that was "Nothing But Trouble" with Chevy Chase making that hole in the wall.

A few bits from Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" come to mind:

- After Mel Funn (Brooks) tells the studio chief (Sid Caesar) of his plan to make a silent movie to rescue the studio from financial ruin, the boss fumes stating (in a title card) that "Slapstick is dead!" He then leans back in his chair, falls and is pulled across the office still in his chair.
- When the head (Harold Gould) of Engulf and Devour learns of the studio's plan, he starts foaming at the mouth like a dog, complete with the sound effects of an angry dog.

[chuckamuck43]

I believe it was Roger Ebert who said of the film A FISH CALLED WANDA that it's a
live-action Looney Tune.
John Cleese is the hapless Elmer Fudd character, chasing wisecracking Jamie Lee Curtis (Bugs) who is involved in an uneasy alliance with Kevin Kline (Daffy Duck). Also featured is a s-s-stuttering Michael Palin
(Porky).
Lots of the gags in the film are cartoony, especially Kline's chasing the plane at the film's end.
It's a funny movie, but when you look at it from that angle it's even more enjoyable!

[Matthew Hunter]

Many episodes of that Fox TV sitcom "Ally McBeal" have cartoony sight gags...tongues hang out and eyes bug and other stuff. Show never impressed me, but there are some funny spots in the early episodes.

"Cats and Dogs" is essentially a live-action cartoon, that's what made it not work for me...if you're going to do a live action film do a live action film, and if you're going to do a cartoony film make it a cartoon.

"The Mask" is one of those cartoony films that works...look at the scene in the club, Carrey actually imitates Tex Avery's Wolf...and in his room, he watches cartoons and has cartoon memorabilia. There's a pillow on his couch with Taz on it...I have a pillow just like that.

"My Dream is Yours": Bugs Bunny appears in a live action/animated scene.

"Mouse Hunt": Many critics called this one a live-action Tom and Jerry...it really kind of is. These two brothers inherit a house, and they want to restore it...but everything they try gets messed up by a little mouse. They try to kill the mouse, but the mouse becomes more aggressive and the plot more cartoonish as it goes along.

Also, many of the Marx Brothers films are cartoon-like. In "The Marx Brothers Go West", Harpo is locked in a room and trys to dynamite himself out...a very Wile E. Coyote-like gag results, nearly 9 years before said character was even dreamed up.

Mel Brooks' films are also very cartoony at times, as mentioned by you guys.

-Matthew

[Eraserhead]

James Bond is the RoadRunner and Jaws is Wille E. Coyote in MOONRAKER.

THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHASEN-The characters in this film have cartoon movements. I.E, running gags.

DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL....Somebody gets beaten up and is *literally* flat as a pancake afterwards.

TOP SECRET-There's hundreds of cartoon imagery in this. One scene has a guy trying to break a window with a sledgehammer. Instead, its the hamer that breaks into pieces.

THEY CALL ME TRINITY-In a scene straight out of a Popeye toon, A gang of outlaws try to rush into a store to beat up Trinity. One by one, the outlaws are knocked out of the store, only to be continually knocked outside as soon as they get in the store.


ARMY OF DARKNESS-This face says it all

[Matt Yorston]

Here's another from the Stooges that I can't believe I forgot.

In "Some More of Samoa", the Stooges are tree surgeons. Curly comes forth with a syringe, explaining, "I invented a new formula that'll make big trees out of little saps!" Sure enough, he injects a sapling with the formula and the sapling grows and sprouts branches. Later in the short, Curly himself is injected with the syringe causing his body to grow until his head almost touches the ceiling! Moe comes to the rescue with a mallet which he uses to pound on Curly's head until he's normal size once more. Although, according to Moe, "You'll never be normal!"

[Nelson]

Live action cartoony type stuff dates all the way back to the kings of comedy Mack Sennett and Hal Roach.Those two studios are a live action cartoon factory.

[Sogturtle]

Okay, my main candidate would have to be...

The 1979 movie "The Villain" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ann Margaret, and Kirk Douglas (as the villain in question). Almost certainly the most Wile E. inspired live-action feature ever conceived with Kirk Douglas as Cactus Jack (Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius) in maniacal self-destrutive pursuit of good-guy(Roadrunner) Arnold (bodyguard of Ann Margaret... nice work if you can get it!!! ;) ). The film is also notable for its large cast of fine comedy actors in supporting roles ( Paul Lynde, Foster Brooks, Ruth Buzzi, Jack Elam, Strother Martin)

I think the film would have been a much bigger success though if they had cast Jack Elam in the lead role of the villain.

My runner-up candidate would be "Hawps"... The tale of an attempt to mount the U.S. cavalry on camels, featuring "F-Troop" alumnus Jim Hampton as the protagonist (with Slim Pickens in support), and Jack Elam as the most cartoony psychotic western villain to ever scowl across the old west while carrying hundreds of different firearms...all loaded!! Yosemite Sam would have been proud!!!

[Howard Fein]

AIRPLANE!: When the nun is singing and playing the guitar for the terminally ill girl, there's a wide shot of the aisle and you see everyone leaning over and smiling. One person's head even emerges from above, upside-down!

In the same pic, during the SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER parody/flashback, Robert Hayes throws his jacket offstage (accompanied by a Hanna-Barbera sound effect). It immediately flies back into his face.

ANIMAL HOUSE: When the Deltas are sabotaging the Homecoming parade, Kevin Bacon is attempting to keep order ("Remain calm! All is well!"). A mob of people run him down, leaving him looking as if he'd been run over by a bulldozer.

IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD: During the protracted fight scene at the gas station, Jonathan Winters runs through a wall, leaving a body-shaped silhoutte.

HOME ALONE: LOST IN NEW YORK (which I was forced to watch on a chartered casino bus to Atlantic City :( ): When Daniel Stern receives an electrical shock, his glowing skeleton is visible.

Simply speaking, what have any of you seen from a live action film that you felt to be decidedly "cartoony" or seemingly inspired by a cartoon?


Abbott & Costello's "The Time of Their Lives" used the gag of someone taking a drink after being shot, resulting in water coming out of the bulletholes. ("That's funny, I'm still thirsty.")


Toward the beginning of "Young Einstein", a farmer picks up a shovel with a big bite taken out of it and says "Oh no, the Tasmanian devil!". But from there it went straight downhill since it was just someone in a costume who ran away when the farmer fired a gun.

[L00nE2n]

How bout Ahnold's "Jingle All The Way." Sinbad threatens the chief of police with a package containing a bomb. The chief doubts it, opens it, and blows up. Of course the chief himself is the only one in the room that blows up. Sinbad has by this time left, and upon hearing the explosion remarks "It WAS a bomb?! Damn!" A few seems later the chief is fully alive and intact.

Later in the movie, Arnold's rocket pack is flying out of control, then Arnold shuts it off. It pauses in midair for a few seconds, about as long as it takes Wile E. Coyote to realize he's off the ground, then Arnold looks down and says "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He might as well have just held up a sign.

[SuperFunk]

THE BLUES BROTHERS

Don't know if this is considered cartoon-esque to you. During scene with the Nazis pursuing the Blues Brothers (with "Ride of the Valkyries" playing in the soundtrack), they chase them to a road under construction. When Elwood stops the car, before it almost falls from the edge of the road, and puts it in reverse. The car tips over from the back. Then there's a shot of it flying through the air. Next it jumps over the head Nazi's car. Then the Nazi's car flies off the end of the road towards the sky then descends from Chicago's skyline and crashes into the road.


I remember this episode from FAMILY MATTERS in which Carl and Steve end up in situations in whether they should perform their tasks morally or immorally. During Carl's decision, his conscience speaks to him. A devil version of himself appears and tells Carl to do the wrong thing. Then an angel version appears to tell him he should do right. Carl chooses to do the right thing. Then the angel performs a soundtrack of a choir singing "Hallelujah." Later in that episode, Steve goest through a similar situation. Again, devil and angel versions of himself appear by him trying to brainwash him. Steve chooses to go the right path and his angelic version also performs the "Hallelujah" soundtrack.


I also remember this episode of MALCOLM AND EDDIE in which Eddie has used up Malcolm's lottery ticket and he has nightmares of Malcolm taking revenge on him after he finds out. Eddie's last dream is quite cartoonish. In the bar, one of their friends turn out to be responsible for Malcolm's ticket, I'm not sure which character did it, but one of them toss a bomb to that person. And the person with the bomb holds up a sign (a la Wile E. Coyote) that says "Bye." There is an off-screen explosion, then a cut back to the man all sooted from the explosion. He then holds another sign that says "Ouch." After that, Eddie wakes up. He looks pleased and says, "Now, THAT'S a dream I can live with" and goes back to sleep.

The 'liquid leaking through holes in the body' gag was inflicted on Shemp in two different Stooge shorts. In FIDDLERS THREE, it's from his being jabbed by swords while hiding in a magician's box ("Moeth! Larryeth! Get a plumber!"). In TRICKY *****, it's after he takes a whole bunch of gunshots.

Ed O'Neill suffers the same fate in the MARRIED- WITH CHILDREN episode in which the gang competes in a supermarket sweep and he's impaled by Marcy's 'spiked' grocery wagon. In the closing freeze frame he's home taking a drink when the liquid spurts out of his torso- but he calmly continues to watch TV. :eek:

The Stooge films very freely used all cartoon license, especially when they're the victims of explosions, complete with 'burns' and shredded clothing. It happens in UNCIVIL WARRIORS (the boys fired out of a cannon); THE SITTER DOWNERS (dynamite used to get Curly unstuck from cement); VIOLENT IS THE WORD FOR CURLY (match dropped in gas tank); DIZZY DETECTIVES (Curly striking gorilla full of nitroglycerin); OIL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL (Exploding cigar, misplaced dynamite while gold mining).

Characters in live-action movies and sitcoms are routinely blown up and quickly restored to normal cartoon-style all the time. This is usually brought about by such means as over-stoking the barbecue grill or trying to repair electrical wiring. Even the ultimate 'realistic' war series, M*A*S*H, had Henry Blake comically frazzled by a bomb planted in the latrine in one early episode.

Arguably the funniest, or only funny scene in the recent SEE SPOT RUN was Leslie Bibb being badly charred after her unwittingly lit match causes a zebra to, er, flatulate fire on her. If that's the funniest part of the movie, I'm glad I didn't see it!

The other cartoon convention the Stooges frequently used was them 'dying' at the end of a film (a la Tom, Katnip, Buzz Buzzard, Sylvester, Daffy, Sam, Elmer), even though we know darn well they're going to show up in another. They were eaten (offscreen) by a lion in YOU NATZY SPY!; their heads were mounted on the wall after a booby-trapped billiard ball did its thing in I'LL NEVER HEIL AGAIN; ended up as angels after their ill-timed detonation of a mortal shell in one short not in AMC's rotation; are presumably vaporized by a cannon in HALF-SHOT SHOOTERS, since only their boots are left.

A friend who's a big Abbott & Costello fan has said that in one feature, an explosion leaves Bud in blackface and saying along the lines of "Lawd, have mercy!" in a stereotyped dialect. Wonder if AMC, which shows many A & C pics, would edit this out?

Ed O'Neill [does the leaking body gag] in the MARRIED- WITH CHILDREN episode in which the gang competes in a supermarket sweep and he's impaled by Marcy's 'spiked' grocery wagon. In the closing freeze frame he's home taking a drink when the liquid spurts out of his torso- but he calmly continues to watch TV.
And plays complacently in his--stream?--no less, while sitting in a kiddie pool in the backyard. In another ep, Al's doctor prescribes a garden to control stress after he cracks up at the shoe store. Unfortunately a rabbit tunnels into it and begins eating his vegetables. Al tries unsuccessfully to get rid of it, injuring himself and inconveniencing the family/neighbors repeatedly. In the end he uses TNT in a stuffed carrot--but forgets to check for live buried gas lines. He blows up his and Marcy's houses. As he coolly munches a carrot in the end a la Bugs, there's an iris-out, and Peggy says, "That's AL, folks!"

Small Wonder had numerous cartoony gags with Vicki, including:
*tears gush from her eyes like an overly dramtic anime heroine when she cries
*her legs extend to impossible lengths while she waters plants on a high shelf
*she bloats to gargantuan proportions when her digestive functions fail and produce too much gas (she also eats a flower off the centerpiece on the kitchen table)
*When Ted, her "father" demonstrates her growth function, he causes her to do both a Daryl Hannah and a Tom Thumb within two minutes
*Joan, her "mother" asks Vicki to "give me a hand in the kitchen". Being rather literal-minded, she rips her own hand off at the wrist!

Hmm, Dr. Belch, are you a Small Wonder fan too?

[DR. BELCH]

Yes, I am. Tiffany Brissette was a living doll in her day. Considering her character was an android, though, that rather goes without saying. :p

I always thought so too when I was younger and the show was new. Of course people look at you funny when your 22 and say you thought the 10 year old star of a show that aired 15 years ago was cute. I was about 5 or 6 at the time but...

I always wisded she would have moved away from the monotone and speak in a normal voice, as well as taking off that silly pinafore for good. She did move into normal clothing by the third season, but alot of it was tacky. I personally think her evil twin Vanessa should have popped up mroe often.

Of course, my biggest wish would be to see this show rerun on Nick at Night or something. I have all the episodes, but I still miss watching the show live.

BTW, I've just started a web site housing my Tom and Jerry art that will also be home to a few Small Wonder episode transcripts
