Thank you YouTube. Lexus was completely relevant to this video and it was what I wanted. This video just distracted me. I really want to sincerely thank you for the ad that didn't close and blocked half of the video.
Thumbs up if you knew he actually said "Dallas" but instead they dubbed in "Vegas". Because Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas right before this film was released.
When the movie was filmed Major Kong said " A fella could have a good time in Dallas with this stuff" playing to his charactors Texas roots....but after filming the scene and before release JFK was shot in dallas so the producers dubbed in "Vegas" instead, not wanting to refer to Dallas at all. Trivia. If you watch Major Kong speak you can tell he does not say vegas.
The B-52 scenes were filmed in the UK, and the cast and crew thought he was putting on a Texas accent. They didn't realize people in Texas really talked like that.
@stonefisk General Turgidson is almost always chewing gum, so I'm guessing it was a joke rather than something that was actually issued to the airmen.
I was sitting in my parents' hotel in the middle of London when the Cuba crisis was going on. I remember now the helpless fear at the prospect of total annihilation. London would have gone up like a Roman candle.
ok this guy reminds me of Sarge from Red Vs. Blue, I definatly think that's how they are imitating in the series......I can just imaging this guy saying, "we won the war, and it turns out you're the big hero, simmons here is in charge of confetti, and I get to drive the float!"
Slim Pickins (Major Kong) was NOT a major actor at the time; he basically did westerns. Whenever the rest of the cast first met him, they thought he was already in character. :)
Pickins also didn't know that it was a comedy and was "playing it straight."
@Agent1W not as much as you would think, when the soviets took over during the october rev. they made certin amounts of gold illegal to own. (it would be a sign that this person has gold so they are better then everyone else) that is a no no in any communist system. gold was a way for a person to draw attention to themselves, it was mainly for bribing a prison guard.
Prophylactics (condoms) were included is survival kits because they make a terrific emergency water container. A condom will hold almost a gallon of water before it breaks. Try it and see.
For a remake today with inflation and scenario changed to the muddle yeast, "One 45 automatic, 10 boxes of ammo, Egyptian to English and Yiddish to English phrases dictionary, Koran and Old Testament, 5 black veils, 5 boxes of prophylactics, 9 packs of chewin' gum and 25 gold pieces. Sheeet a guy could have a pretty good time in Cairo or Jerusalem with this!
@TTDMFfreaknew One of the best "arias" and actor roles in film history! ROOSHIN. Hahahaha. And When Johnny Comes Marching Home playing in the background. H0000 HAWWWW! :)
Several years later Slim Pickens parodied this scene in "1941" when the Japanese were laying out what they had taken off of him when they had taken him prisoner onboard the submarine.
The black flight engineer in "Airplane II" was a parody of James Earl Jones from this movie.
I love the condoms - I'm sure the ladies on the ground, busy sweeping fallout off themselves and tending to badly burned neighbors and relatives from your recently delivered weapons, would be just aching for a hot fuck from an American airman.
What in the wide-wide world a' sports is a- goin' on here? I hired you people to try and get a little track laid, not jump around like a bunch a' Kansas City faggots!!!
In his monologue, Slim Pickens originally said, "Shoot, a guy could have a pretty good time in Dallas.." It was overdubbed to Vegas, in view of the Kennedy execution.
That would be "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" It's a old Civil War era song. Later the tune was used for the kids song, "The Ants go marching one by one". Then after that we were engaged in toe-to-toe nuclear combat with the Rooskies!
@seanThree16 :) The Civil War lyrics to that song have a different meaning today, since the Obum and the a-turkey general ok'd queer marriage this week. And that goes with the ok to have queers in the army.
So the lyrics, "Well all be gay when Johnny Comes Marching home" has new, disastrous meaning. :)
He actually said, "A fella could have a good weekend in Dallas" But the makers of the movie had it changed to Vegas,after JFK got bumped off. There were story's that the secret service were doing a bit of partying the night of Nov 21,1963
@Chicken57 It was dubbed in. The lack of lipsync really isn't noteable with so much going on in this fantastically funny scene.
Nowadays, "a fella could have a pretty good weekend in (fill in the blank choices: Cairo/Tel Aviv/Saudi/Amsterdam/Persia/Iran). Take your politically correct party place.
@Chicken57 Dallas would have been more fun because the fun you find in Dallas isn't as obvious as Vegas. I'm thinking, "crap, what kind of good time is he talking?"
If they'd have dubbed Tulsa in it would have been about as funny. Vegas is still a fun choice, but yeah, unfortunate about the Dallas thing.
" The Wild Geese" ... or why I love my FN-FAL ... makes my sticker peck out to this day . Watch that one ... " kaeffer " ... I use the term to this day & no one knows what it means ....
too heavy for what it is , sold mine & kept an AK varient - NHM -91 w/ several stock variations . Cheaper mags & ammo . Ya know , for all the firefights I've been in ... here in St. Lou ... * Note* - I aint talkin' airsoft toys !
Wasn't there a Rhodesian version of the FN rifle called the R1 or something? I remember reading this in Soldier Of Fortune magazine back in the early 70's.
When my Dad was an AF SP, he was issued a model 15 Combat Masterpiece, but besides a pistol of any sort, crews weren't issued any of that stuff, right?
Basic survival stuff , fish hooks , a knife , signal becon , etc. google BAT 21 ( a movie about a downed pilot in Viet Nam ) Gene Hackman , if memory serves . No , no condom's in a survival pack - sorry . More like water purification tablets & foot powder ...
he was originally supposed to say a fella could have a good weak in dallas and the movie was supposed to be realsed on November 22 but JFK was killed in so in respect they changed it
Don't forget the pie scene they cut at the end. While kubrick cut it because he felt it was too farcical, it also had a part where the president got hit in the face with a pie, and Gen. turginsen says: "Men, the greatest president the world has ever seen has been struck down in his prime!" or something like that, don't remember the exact lines.
you're right - you can see that he does mouth "Dallas" instead of Vegas. Also, it sounds as if the voice track was added later (obviously). I've watched this dozens of times and never noticed. Thanks for the trivia!!!!!!!
The reason that they re dubbed the audio and said Vegas over Dallas was that Kennedy has been recently killed in Dallas. They did it because it was fresh in a lot of peoples minds.
Same reason as the chewing gum, lipstick, gold, and rubles: for bartering with Russian peasants. The same ones who "...grumbled for more nylons and washing machines."
