  • OMG he was so funny, so sorry when he died. His movies are clean and classics, I'd say all his films were great. "Summer Rental" is an older one but me and my friend laughed so much, I mention it b/c I think it's one no one really remembers (?) I'd be interested to know if anyone else does, if not it's must see for John Candy fans

  • WOW! That last shot was horribly composited.

    I was only 8 when he died. I remember it, but I don't think I was quite old enough to really appreciate what he did for comedy. Now, I do. What a loss.

  • Awww man he died when I was 2 years old :( Happy birthday, John Candy, we miss you big guy RIP

  • I read in his biography he wasn’t looking forward to doing this movie. He was asked why he was doing it and he said "3 million dollars". Also the tough time Kim Bassinger had going to court after refusing to do Boxing Helena, Candy decided not to go down that path and went ahead and shot the picture.

  • R.I.P John Candy you will be truly missed and you were a amazing actor

  • I grew up on John Candy films. He died when I was 11, and it's the most upset I recall being at the death of an actor.

  • I wasnt born when he died, but when I watched "Cool Runnings" and heard he was dead... I thought my parents meant he was a dead ghost in the movie. But now I relized he was really dead. A sweet, playful, kind and funny guy is gone. But not in his fans' hearts! RIP John Candy

  • you have just unveiled a great secret

    hhhhhhhh

  • man i wish Candy would have lost sum weight he was a great guy he was at his best at uncle buck!!!!

  • Bah, you didn't come across like you found some secret. Don't listen to the innumerable jerks on the Net. Thanks for posting this, I never noticed they reused a scene. Man I ove John Candy and all his films. =)

  • LOL....this movie is so bad.

  • We just bought this movie and watched it. Very funny. What struck me the most were the scenes where the one bad guy is trying to stop the wagon train and all of his attempts backfire on him. It was just like Kirk Douglas in "The Villian" and very much like the Wiley Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.

  • He was a great actor and a funny as hell :D

  • it just goes to show ya, that people that live fast, die fast too, seems we all have a life meter, and when we supersede or out run the life meter, we out run ourselves, just the nature of the game

  • he was doing alot of cocaine i remember one time we were up in toronto and saw him bugged outta his head this was just after an anvil concert

  • @thefriendsociety John Candy was a good man please post such things about in out of respect for the deceased, wether he did or didn't. it doesn;t matter, he made a great deal of people laugh and so be remebered as such

  • We Miss You John Candy I you'll be Avenged

  • It's so sad seeing his character down and out like that right before his very own death. RIP John.

  • I'd long heard that the studio had been lying when they said John had been able to finish filming before his untimely death, but seeing this is certainly the proof in the pudding! Thanks so much for putting this interesting tidbit together! :-)

  • i dont get it?..what was i supposed too look for?.lol lol rip john candy movies havent been the sam since..

  • @Arthur5041975 get the sand out of your vagina. quit the rage

  • This really doesn't prove that John Candy died before the movie was finished. They probably completed all his scenes (or rewrote them not to involve him), but they could have just put this part in the end because they couldn't put him in there. Remember: movies aren't exactly shot in the order in which the actors appear.

  • I did notice another part in the movie Wagons East that they did. About mid-way between, there was a scene where they reviewed their trip and how far they came with Mr. Harlow (John Candy) and it showed clips of them with Harlow. It was actually a nice tribute to him, but the only real reason to watch this movie, I think, is to see if you can find where they replaced John with his double after he died.

  • not a good movie to leave us on,sucked hard,but there's a catalogue of brilliance before it ..Planes Trains & Automobiles,The Great Outdoors,Splash,Uncle Buck,Stripes etc etc

  • R.I.P John Candy :(

  • john candy R.I.P. =(

  • what speak there in german???

  • Recently saw Uncle Buck, a great fun movie and sad he's been gone 16 years. But imortalised forever on film. RIP John.

  • I had no idea... THANK YOU for exposing their fraud!!!!

  • @Arthur5041975 Everyone now knows he died during filming but I think the producers tried to cover it up at the time ...

  • @oldmanmike89 I agree with you Mike. I was at a Louisiana paper mill waiting to get my truck loaded when the news of his death first broke on the radio. During the report they said where he was and that he died during the making of 'Wagons East', No one was trying to 'cover up' anything about him dieing before the movie was finished at that particular time. Before I could make it back home, (3 days), some of the report had changed.

    'Tanks for da memories,' Bro

    RIP Smiles

  • i seen nothing than a repeat... Johh Candy.. wish i knew more of him when his was alive. His personality took a lot of heat. Take this quater and pay a rat, to naw that thing off your face. We can laugh about it now were all right.. PTAA

  • RIP John Candy ;(

  • if the second one you showed wasnt him. then they did a really good job of gettinga really good look alike.:)

  • sad

  • That is some preposterously bad editing right there.

  • thanks for proving that ?

  • There was no "proof" needed, but at least movieman has posted just about the only clip of the great JC from Wagons East on YouTube. It doesn't make very comfortable viewing, though, as Candy is clearly struggling for breath in the scene.

  • Oh well, I like watching him no matter what, he is one of my favorite actors.

  • what the fuck... hack

  • @phille22  Naw....it's true. They reused that scene through editing. Candy died before they finished editing.

  • I'm surprised that no one has uploaded this entire movie seeing that this was John Candy's last film.

  • @stepheno1991 YouTube has that film officially uploaded in it's movies for some time now.

  • i think we all pretty much know he didnt finish the movie before he died MOron!

  • He was the best actor to ever set foot on the earth and the funiest. John Candy lives on

  • Great, you nailed it, NOW GET A LIFE.....

    whats next, showing us the fake Crow guy for Brandon Lee????

  • Sign up now for your free buggering!

  • one of the best canadians i loved all his movies you be in our hearts forever

  • how about best actors not just Canadian. He was a great actor and we miss is comical talent

  • so sad... One of my favorites actors of all times!! He's really missed...

  • I don't know if it would have been better so much as WAY different.

  • Comment removed

  • His weight made him who he was. This probably shaped and molded his attitude to life.

    So would he have been funny without this? Probably.

    John Candy was wonderful. Every part of him.

    So in death he really should never be disrespected by folk who could never understand what it was to 'be him'.

  • to quote george carlin : "did you hear about george? he had a goddamn mild cardial infarction". no matter how unfortunate he/we was/were, it was still a full on heart attack related to his weight.

  • I saw John Candy once in person at the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles. It was in 1993/94 and his hair was long and he had a beard like in this video. The movie's showing were silent Laurel & Hardy shorts. When it was over i walked right by him and he looked at me and I him for one split second.

  • Candy my not have made great films but he was always great in them.

  • Wow onetthome, what an awful thing to say.

  • John Candy was fantastic, he unfortunately lived a very sad life for such a legendary funny man.

    R.I.P. John.

  • Obesity killed him. He was a good comedy actor and seemed to be a cool person.

  • i want to know when did john exactly die?

    which exact scene?

  • He didn't die in any scene. He had a heart attack in his sleep.

  • I remember reading that his co-start Richard Lewis, when he found out that John had passed got out of his car and ran into a field sobbing. John Candy was, and always will be, one of the funniest comedians ever. And he was one of the nicest people you would ever meet from people I know who had the chance to meet him. Stripes will go down as some of his funnest moments. I love the magazine cover scene at the end of that film, "Win a Dream Date with Ox, Super Love & Kisses Issue" LOL!

  • No Money, they just showed the same clip again. He made every movie better, great comedian and LOVED SCTV. But this movie was doomed, as is anymovie, if Richard lewis is in it! This dump, Robin Hood, even his stand up (he bombed in front of me at Caroline's in NYC - embarassing). The most over rated comedian in history. Lucky Larry David carries him on his show.

  • Damn. It's sad that both him and Farley were involved in two impossibly bad historical comedies before their death.

  • Dirty Work wasn't that bad

  • Dirty Work was not bad at all.

  • RIP . John x We All Loved yuu Very Much x

  • What I meen is at the very in of the wagons east movie what the john when he kissed the red hair lady?

  • It seems like if an actor dies after filming a "voice over" movie they re-record it before its released. Understandable if it were incomplete, maybe. Sometimes you can find a similar voice to fill the rest. Magic 7 John Candy version would be more appreciated. Its said that Farley recorded 95% of Shrek in1996. Farley vs. Myers as Shrek? Farley hands down, although there would have been no sequels and a "sound alike" would have recorded the other 5%. I'm a big fan of these guys, bless their souls

  • Its already established that he died before it was done. The real travesty is the filme he recorded in the early nineties that was just released in 2008, The Magic 7, was completed with his voice but they re-did his character with someone elses voice. Just like Chris Farley is the original Shrek and completed the first Shrek but when he died they re-recorded with Mike Myers.

  • I still don't get it? was that another man

    dress liked John and the ending scene?

  • Comment removed

  • Rest well O' Faithful Servant. You were and are a brilliant actor..

  • JOHN CANDY IS THE BEST !!!!!!

  • Either way, I love that he pours the drink out! As an alcoholic, it's great to see that! I haven't seen this film, and maybe it wasn't right to continue the filming; I don't know. But this scene, both ways, is helpful and inspirational to me. I really MIss John Candy. RIP John! I know his drinking and smoking had something to do with his death. So these scenes mean a lot to me. Very inspirational. We all miss John Candy. RIP John! All the Best!!! Love -Kirk

  • This film should have been cancelled out of respect for John Candy. To have released this film at all shows extremely poor taste and judgement. But what else would you expect from Hollywood?

  • I can see your point, but John Candy was one of the great actors of our time. To take his final work and simply throw it away just because he passed away seems a little disrespectful too.This movie should not be seen as a dishonor to him, but as a tribute. Remember, he died doing what he loved, makeing us laugh.

  • They could've maybe used a shorter clip and mirrored it so it wouldn't be so obvious, and cut to another full-body angle from a longer distance (with body double standing in for him) at the end, but oh well. Still good that they released the thing IMO, even if the movie isn't the greatest, from my understanding it was nearly finished when he passed and it would've been a shame to see all the work go to waste (and be left without one JC film). RIP John Candy, I miss seeing you on-screen.

  • for fuck sake, everyone fucking knows john didnt make the last scean cant we just have a fucking briliant tribute from wagons east for him. get it sorted out

  • he was a funny man n its a shame he died

  • john looks as big as dom delouise in that scene. i kinda miss the old lug

  • This is stupid, because as far as I remember, its been know that he died before he finished the film.

  • well johns dad and grandad both died of heart attacks at young ages of around 30 but john candy was 43rip john candy. he was a great actor. rip.

  • i looooved john candy he was like a big teddy bear xxxxxxxxxx to u

  • can't believe he died...everyone needs to check out his old house if your ever in Beverly Hills..it's really different looking...rip john candy

  • I've seen the film. If they wanted to pay tribute to him, they'd have buried it 1,000 feet underground.

  • It was his body double that finished of the film. funny guy he was....

  • yessss¡ is very sadly missed....john was the best¡¡¡¡

  • lol wtf is this guy stupid he did finish the movie like you said it was near the end of the moive with the sean so if he died how did they do the ending?

  • Are you dumb? Look at it again...it's the same scene re-used but with a digitally altered background. The scenes are so far apart in the film that no-one watching remembers the what the beginning looked like. (Unless you are a movie-freak).

  • It's called editing stupid.

  • This video is a waste of space!

    John Candy was an amazing actor, and is sadly missed.

  • His last film was Canadian Bacon (released in 1995). As with a lot of Hollywood movies, they spend some time being edited before being released hence the fact he appears in films after his premature death. God bless him. I adore his movies and his laugh

  • sanvid, en que idoma estas escribiendo.

    Sanvid, in what language are you speaking (writing)

  • RIP John... ho visto solo 2 film in cui hai recitato... Mamma ho perso l'aereo e Quattro Sotto Zero... Però ho l'impressione che sei stao un buon attore!!.

    RIP John!.

  • John Candy was really fat at that time and had trouble dealing with the heat on the set. Supposedly he needed oxygen on a daily basis.

  • John Candy's dad and his grand father each had heart problems and died around the age of 30. It runs in the family to have die of a heart attack. Him being over-weight was just a factor in it

  • r.i.p. john

  • John Candy you will never be forgotten, the funniest Canadian we ever known, may you R.I.P. one true fan

  • It was good. Lewis is too spastic for my liking, though. R.I.P JC.

  • That last clip where the bottle hits the table is clearly a whole new shot and the person holding it is most certainly not John Candy.

    Look closely at the position of the lable of the bottle and how it is aligned with John Candy's fingertips as he holds it up. Then when the bottle hits the table the position of the lable compared to the fingertips has changed.

  • just becuase it was released in 1995 doesnt mean it was made then. im pretty sure it was filmed in 1994 ( i think)

  • I believe he didnt finnish the film.. so the used that scene with the bottle twice?

  • Canadian Bacon was filmed before it just wasn't released until 1995

  • There were still two weeks of filming scheduled.

  • which one was the teal him though?

  • life is short, see you later John...

  • He was always a big man but the size of him in this movie really effected his health. It's not just his weight its his drinking and smoking and on top of that mental health problems. ;\

  • if you re-search it you will find out that he quit smoking and also started to try and lose some weight towards the end of his life.

  • have you ever met a cigarette smoker?

    they don't quit unless there's a big reason. John Candy probably had some serious medical problems near the end of his death...he probably knew something was wrong if he made that change so close to his demise.

    Even 14 years after his passing he's still my most favourite actor of all time.

  • john candy was a comedy genius!

  • Why would you make a man who was already overweight gain more weight for a role?

    It wasn't his fault. It was the stupid producers.

    RIP JOHN

  • I didnt know that they did...do you have proof?

  • they made him gain weight for the role? wow i didnt know that

  • We Miss You Johnny T_T sigh sigh

  • R.I.P

  • they use the same shot from early and change the background

  • Sad. Very...sad. No rating.

  • well everybody knows that. he died mid-way and they had to use a double. this isnt proof, it was given evidence, theres nothing to prove.

  • wow

  • When I think about John Candy I think if he was still alive he would of been in the film heavyweights.

  • of cors ,the guy was naturally gifted ,talented

  • if john candy or chris farley where alive i feel personally there would have been better movies in recent years and not as many remakes or napkin plots but thats just me

  • if you notice his and farley last movies were both a western spoof playing similar mountainmen type roles. Both very good movies.:)Almost heroes is a spoof on the lewis and clark expediation abd wagons east is making fun of the settlers who traveled out west .

  • @cuchulain55 No, Heroes and Wagons were NOT good movies. And unless you're the Three Stooges, any comedy actor should turn down flat any offer to do one. That's because such outdoor adventures (be it a period piece or not) have mainly been the exclusive domain of ACTION (i.e. dramatic) actors. Same thing with chick flicks, when slapstick actors try them, like Belushi in Continental Divide, and Old Boyfriends. Mixing the two is a terrible idea. Jim Carey has luckily managed to avoid it... so far.

  • @themredweirdoshow what about monty pthon and the holy grail?:)or almost heroes chris farlys last movie?:0 those were hilarious.:) or the man who knew too little with bill murrey.

  • @cuchulain55 That's what I was getting at - unless you're doing a Three Stooges (i.e. full-on slapstick spoof) in a genre, stay the heck away from it. Holy Grail and Man Who Knew worked great because they just spoofed the medieval and spy genres flat out. But those half-ass adventure yarns with Farley and Candy were terrible - aside from a few jokes, they were written in traditional non-comedy outdoor survival mode. In other words, no, I'd never want to see Jack Black do a remake of Deliverance!

  • Happy birthday John!

    R.I.P

  • he was only 44? :O

  • he was 43

  • Very young =/

  • I'm still a little confused movieman4life, could you explain it to me some please.

  • Fuck his weight, height blah blah. He was and is a great actor!

  • John Candy....my favorite actor, god bless that big guy, no matter what role he did he always made the best of it.

  • Damn i had never seen this he had gotten way bigger.

  • Still, it's a kick-ass movie that's hilarious ... I remember hearing the news report of his death as I awoke from a slumber... I fell back to sleep thinking it was a bad dream, just to wake up later and realise it was true. The loss of a legend, a true comedic genius... RIP!

  • Wow, this looked so obvious, it's weird that they didn't change it a little bit more... like, not include the scene when he's letting the wine leak out...

  • we all miss him i love him RIP John Candy:(

  • Never seen the movie. . but that first scene was great!

    R.I.P John Candy

  • john candy is very much missed.

  • Congratulations! Here's the no shit sherlock reward.

  • There was probably no need for a video of "proof John Candy died" before the movie was finished. When his death was announced, they said "John Candy died during the filming of his last movie. A double is expected to be used."

  • Wow. That's insanely obvious. Seeing them back to back, it looks like such amateur editing. Although, I'm not sure how you would get around this.

  • Funnyman John Candy, known for portraying portly, lovable losers in such movies as Stripes, Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles, died of a massive heart attack on March 4, 1994, during the filming of Wagons East. A body double was used to replace Candy, and the film -- a comedy set in the Wild West -- was released later that summer. The movie was widely panned by critics as an unworthy farewell to Candy, who was just 43 when he died.

  • They couldnt have Paul McCartney'd it and gotten a Look-alike and sound-alike

  • He died during the filming. They used a body double for the final scenes, and reused the part of him with the bottle, but using a body double to finish off, Kinda self explainatory.

  • That first half is kind of sad, because he had an excellant performance in that. To bad it was one of the last scenes he ever had. :(

  • John Candy DID pass before production was completed on the film. Many scenes were re-written to not include him in the final product. This is one of the examples where they attempted to re-edit a scene by using already-shot footage to include him in the conclusion. The person who posted this is correct.

  • your right it does. the other 1 it looked exactly like him. or was the guy with the white beard supposed to be John Candy?

  • Nah, just supposed to be him listening in. Thanks for your comment.

  • Those Hollywood bastards disgraced the great legacy of a legendary comedian. THEY MUST PAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that did not proof anything, this seen was simply used twice

  • was he in the film throughout or were there some scenes filmed using a stunt double and special effects like with Brandon lee in The Crow

  • A double was used part of the film. Hope that this helps!

  • It doesn't necessarily mean that he died before the film ended. A lot of movies re-use scenes.

  • ive never seen this movie.

    was it really that bad as most people say it was?

  • i liked it

  • great discovery ,detective

  • r.i.p john just bought uncle buck. gona watch it in memory of u. hope its as good as cool runnings that was the best

  • Wait...you mean you hadn't seen Uncle Buck until 2 months ago? You gotta be, what, 12 years old?

  • Ok, I caught it now. It's basically the same scene as the first, just inserted near the end of the film to make up for Mr. Candy (RIP buddy) untimley death.

  • Fuck, I used to love John Candy.

    Such a shame that this movie did so poorly, but at least the rest of his career was great.

  • I don't get it. What did the scenes prove? I have seen Wagons East several times and can't find where his passing affected the movie. PS: Charles Rocket was the true 'hit' in this flick. And you too Charles. RIP...

  • poor john cany. still miss you. greatest actor of all times

  • one of the g8est men of all time R.I.P John, i still havnt visited ur grave yet..but im gonna make it :)

  • he looked like he was about to have a heart attack in the clip

  • We was actually losing weight and had quit smoking prior to his death, I guess that wasnt enough!

  • Poor John Candy, Richard Pryor, Chris Farley, Mitch Hedberg..

    Some of our best comedy people are gone. Rest in peace, guys.

  • why?

  • Dont forget John Belushi, River Phoenix, and Phil Hartman
