The first time they showed this film to an audience, the filmmakers were worried because no one was laughing, not even once. It was later discovered that none of the audience spoke english and they were all in fact german. I almost lost hope for humanity.
Me and my friends played a prank on a Starbucks that went almost exactly like this. It was hilarious. You know what's even more hilarious? We did it before any of us had ever seen the film. :D
A truly amazing film and hugely enjoyable. I screened it many times (new 35mm prints) for the 1996 re-release. I'll admit that that I did'nt quite 'get it' at first. It's now close to the top of my list of all time favourite films.
I love this clip, its pure genius. The reason Richard E Grant laughs half way thru his speech is because the pugs behind him kept making grunting noises that sounded like farts, despite numerous re-takes Bruce Robinson, Director, decided to leave the laughter in, I'm so glad he did
@UltraDeb The human race never ceases to sadden me! One of the funniest comedy clips of all time. From the greatest movie of all time. I know that we all have different tastes. But how the hell can anyone not find that funny??!!!
@dragonjohn34 thank you, i let you know if i do buy this tearoom, your name will be on the guest list, balls to those who wanna gatecrash my opening bash
everything about this scene is perfect--from marwood's mouth stuffed with cakes to "BALLS" to the way withnail closes the door on his overcoat. SO GOOD
i seen a few years ago that there was a tour that u cld do in wales that brought u to all those pubs etc to get u wrecked. im sure its prob still going
@monoperative yeah but the director made him go on a binge drinking session before filming began so that he could get a better feel of what being drunk was like and therefore act better.
They did about fifteen takes of this scene, and in every one, REG cracked up on the same line. Eventually Bruce Robinson had to give up and move on. They ended up using the first take, as it was the most usable. What amazes me is how Llewellyn Rees just carries on like the old pro that he was.
Random Withnail fact: Miss Blennerhasset was named after the Cumbrian village of the same name that lies a few miles NW of Penrith, where this scene was set.
Anybody who loves this movie as much as I do should read "the peculiar memories of Thomas Penman". Like this movie, it's another great first for Bruce Robinson; his first and unfortunately, only novel. Reading it was almost as good as watching Withnail for the first time and like Withnail, it only gets better with each pass. You'll cry laughing from start to finish. Bruce Robinson is a god! Rum Diaries is soon to come! You fool! You should never mixed your drinks!
The people who say this film is the best ever made come across as a bit odd at first, until you see the film yourself, when realise, they're actually dead right. This is the most awesome film ever made.
It was a wise move to not have any female characters in the film because its all about struggles within the male ego. A woman would release them from that and defuse the bomb.
At the end, the two protagonists seperating is like a man abandoning his otherworldly ego for the worldly business of a job and conformity (hence I's new straight haircut - the curls are gone). The manic country to city drive depicted this pivotal rush from a place of as-you-are tranquility to cutthroat conformity.
@Provocaine - You actually have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that. I personally like the work of Otto Weininger, a contemporary of Freud, and someone who Freud treated with sickeningly pompous disdain. Weininger is actually a lot better than Freud; far less dictatorial in his views for one. He virtually just lays out a framework and lets you take it from there.
I guess in Freudian terms, Withnail represents the superego, I (Marwood) the ego and Monty and Dan the Ids (their whole lives revolving around sex and drugs respectively). It's the struggle between each force that gives it tension and release in numerous ways. These are parts of one person in conflict with each other, not unlike the four characters on Seinfeld. The characters don't play out like complete people, they play out as these raw natures or drives competing for territory.
I watched this whole film for the first time ever today. One of the best parts of it is how by travelling on holiday to the country, they end up with accommodation that is no better than what they started with.
Overall it has an earthiness and realism that is endearing - like an uncompressed Seinfeld episode, but less annoying as it has little or no gratuitous neuroticism.
They seem to get shit on by the rest of society, and here sort of give it back. One of the cleverest concept's (nevermined this scene) that has been written, the whole film is littered with nuance's...
you have many talents, not only with music but with movies, what exactly is the name of that movie? Brilliantly said, "we want the finest wines available to humanity, etc............

i loved this movie. i saw it some 20 years ago, and i never forgot it. that being said, i wouldn't like to know you. you are obvioulsy shallow, immature, and somehow elitest based on your appreciation of FICTION. vivre la differance!
I bet most people don't realize the laugh towards the end because they are most likely on the floor rolling in their own saliva from hysterics to hear it.
after Withnail says that he'll buy a jukebox to liven the stiffs up a bit he keeps pissing himself'. luckily the proprietor and "I" keep this scene going hahahaha
