Ok, I don't know if it's the movie in general or if it's the song they play at the end, but suddenly I have a big ball of tears in my throat and I feel like crying. :(
@Juny2008 I don't get it though...she could come to land and be part human, but then she turns and says to him that if he went with her he could never come back...why??? she did it. If she had to return, how did she even get to land in the first place??
and you would think he turned into a merman wait i think he did sorta at 2:47 look at the movement his hip to legs are doing that a mermaid and merman move thats how they twist so i think hes about to tun into one how exiting
I'm writing a collection of stories about mermaids, but most of my stories the mermaids are evil and they kidnap children because they can't reproduce. the mermaids are a creation of a jilted witch's curse. but i don't know if people will like evil mermaids. they get away with all kinds of crazy stuff because humans don't know they exist. they only let children see them. Adults, if they see a mermaid, mermaid makes them go blind. it needs work, eh?
great movie! I haven't seen it in forever, thanks for uploading! btw, I never noticed before (i was young) but for a movie made in the 80s, the mermaid tail looks quite impressive
awww atlantica or her hometown daddy i love this man this is my childhood sweetheart ok make him int a merman now and we have lil guppys together this is so beautiful
@TheMileygloss I agree, but I think the fact madison doesnt have to swim with her arms in front of her is better. It doesn't matter though, I love h2o xD
@TheMileygloss This was made in the eighties and I think Madison's tail looks way better than the ones in H2O...those are weirdly proportioned and not a nice colour. Madison's is a nice orange like a tropical fish.
Not one for soppy girly films, but i do adore this movie, its magical and just really lovely, and it has the gorgeous Daryl Hannah, who makes me feel like a teenager everytime i see this =o)
I always loved this movie when i was little.... it came ot two years b4 i was born.... i guess it started my love for mirmaids.:) thank you for posting this, because my tape is going extinct LMAO
oh ok, so long as he is with her every single waking minute of every hour he will be safe under the water.....hey wait a minute! what in the phuk? dat bitch tricked him!!!!
poor lil guy; now he doesnt even have a place to stick his dick in :( oh well i guess love came for him...
@power0fgod If you notice as they approach the underwater city, he starts swimming like a merman, possibly her kiss starts a transformation; a play on the prince kissing Snow White awake from death and another life. An innocent film with many metaphors.
@power0fgod how can babies survive while they are in there mothers womb? its an ability that we have lost because we dont use it, check out babies swimming under water, beacuse they are still young, they havnt lost the ability :)
what a beautiful movie, it remembers me when i was a kid and i watched it for the first i cried at the end XD by the way does anybody know the name of the song in the credits????
woah!! if you watch from 4:09 till 4:23 i think he gets a tail!!! cause at first you see his legs kicking then they sorta go together and i think it's a tail!!! that's sooo cool!!! :D
@Mikiwaterdemen no you can cleary tell that thats legs my mom said she saw the special edition or something and it had an extra that had like the making of the movie and the say tome never gets a tail =( which sucks cuase i guess hes not really a merman persay
i always wanted to a mermaid when i was a little boy. we even went to toy r us to find fins but they didnt have them. still want to be one up to this day.
Ever heard of the Tail Man? He makes very realistic, high-quality mermaid tails. You can rent ones like the one Madison was wearing for a pretty penny, or purchase your own simplified fin for a lesser price. :)
i have just discovered the sequel to this movie, i always thought that madison and allen went to live in that underwater city and that he turned into a merman....turns out that they just live on a deserted island for four years until he gets bored and wants to go back to new york (without tom hanks playing allen) what a swiss!?
I loved how her heartbeat speeded up in the tank when he came to kiss her!
Hey all you mermaid lovers out there - do a search here on you tube for Weeki Wachee. It is a place north of Tampa where there is a live mermaid show in a spring that has crystal clear water. There are big plate glass windows and they have women with mermaid tails do a show! I loved it as a little girl!
I've had dreams where I lived in the water. I wasn't a mermaid, but just swam in the water and breathed air like a whale. I"m not heavy like a whale though. I lived under people house pilings when not in the water. It was such a cool dream.
er.... so umam i the only one who thinks he is going to die? i mean the "human" body can only go so deep in water, plus he cant survive off her oxygen for long....so i mean the ending is kinda out there but then so are mermaids
@Prorokini1, no because he aided in the loss of something that the military deemed very important. And something that had Darwinian, if not outright supernatural implications. Obviously it wasn't correct morally, but at this point I gather the US government thought of Madison as their "property." It would be like being the last guy left behind after a nuclear weapon was stolen. They don't just give fines to those guys.
@WastedPo You do have a point here. However, before conviction, it must be proven that he actually did participate in the "theft" of what was considered US government property. Well, there are the guards who could testify they recognize him as the man who impersonated a Swedish doctor. But that's all. I guess Freddie would just feign insanity and get away with it.
@Prorokini1, that might be the case if the law always acted with complete fairness. But I think with heavy-duty matters in which certain major government agencies (such as Defense, CIA, etc) believe they have "jurisdiction," they don't approach it like a typical trial case (even if they're supposed to). I think they basically operate above the law and act like a 500-lb gorilla and do what they want. Of course it's not right, but I imagine Freddy wouldn't get a transparent, fair trial.
@WastedPo I'm forced to admit I don't know much about law. The first time I got in touch with it was last year when another chick charged me with battery. (Motive: Jealousy) I knew I was innocent, but since there were no witnesses and I tend to be pessimistic I prepared myself for a stay in prison. The thing that tortured me most was how to explain to my whereabouts to my beloved grandma. I was lucky, though. Case dismissed.
@Prorokini1, well, I don't personally know much about law, but I have read a lot since 9/11 about how scary and underhanded different government agencies behave. Especially when you get into areas like the CIA. I mean, practically nothing they do is ever revealed to the public. (Although sometimes years later, someone writes a book.). The point is, if Splash were "real," I have a feeling after his last scene here, Freddy's fruit market co-workers would've never seen him again.
@WastedPo I guess they would be very sad about that. You cannot help but miss a character played by John Candy (or John Candy himself, for that matter)… The problem I see here with the whole mermaid abduction thing…would the US government be able to successfully prove they ever had a mermaid? After all, mermaids are considered fairytale characters. What would happen today if scientists found a life-form that resembles a leprechaun, a dragon or whatever…wouldn't anybody consider it a hoax?
@Prorokini1, I don't think the government would be concerned about trying to prove to the public if they had existence of mermaids. In fact, they'd probably do their best to control the press to make sure it wasn't spoken of in the mainstream again. I think they'd be content to just work in secret studying her (and of course, learning about any other civilizations they might want to butt heads with).
John Candy was great in this movie. I guess in real life he was a very shy, humble guy.
@WastedPo I'm supposed to be shy, too…some people claim my sister and I are like the Bauer brothers. (Guess who is supposed to be which one.) However, even I have had my wild moments, like when I taught my bf a "lesson in humility" — I won't tell what I did exactly, but my mother said: "Now we know you're really Charlotte's sister." I cannot imagine anybody being entirely shy…I think we are all more or less mixed. BTW, I agree, Candy was great here.
That city at the end. I want it to be real so bad. If I had a wish to be true is to live there with my own mermaid. Mermaid stories always have some beauty, happiness and sadness too
I totally wanted to be a mermaid as a kid, because of this movie. I especially loved this ending! And I think that Ron Howard did such an amazing job making the underwater sequences realistic looking!
When I first saw it I thought that also. But it looks like a cut out or something so they don't zoom that much on it. But I wonder what it would really look like.
2:30 on, as a kid I loved they got away. The end credit sequence always made me wish we could have followed them for another hour and a half.... nice end sequence, great film for teen 80's
Yo soy una persona que sueña con ser una de ellas y siempre me a llamado la atencion tener aletas y una cabellera larga y ver este tipo de pelicula me inspira en que un dia mi sueño se cumplira
love this movie, but, one thought, how can he live with her until they're old and stuff, if he can't breath under water or anything? Wouldn't it get annoying to keep giving him air...and how would he sleep? Wait, I'm thinking too much about this....it's a really good movie!
lolz, i didnt say love was only based on sex. it was just me trying to be curous/stupid/funny if you will xD lol but no i was just messin' i didnt rlly expect an answer form anyone lolz
o man, i absolutely love this movie. half of the time i forgot that she was holding her breath, and her tail is amazing (im so glad its not blue like ALL the others ^-^) and one thing that makes me especially happy is that her clothes didnt "magically" disappear , she had to take the shirt off. FIVE STARS and i am soooo buying it on itunes for my ipod
shouldnt he be dead?how can he hold his breath.

After all, mermaids are considered fairytale characters. What would happen today if scientists found a life-form that resembles a leprechaun, a dragon or whatever…wouldn't anybody consider it a hoax?

@Prorokini1, I don't think the government would be concerned about trying to prove to the public if they had existence of mermaids. In fact, they'd probably do their best to control the press to make sure it wasn't spoken of in the mainstream again. I think they'd be content to just work in secret studying her (and of course, learning about any other civilizations they might want to butt heads with).
John Candy was great in this movie. I guess in real life he was a very shy, humble guy.

@WastedPo I'm supposed to be shy, too…some people claim my sister and I are like the Bauer brothers. (Guess who is supposed to be which one.) However, even I have had my wild moments, like when I taught my bf a "lesson in humility" — I won't tell what I did exactly, but my mother said: "Now we know you're really Charlotte's sister." I cannot imagine anybody being entirely shy…I think we are all more or less mixed. BTW, I agree, Candy was great here.

That city at the end. I want it to be real so bad. If I had a wish to be true is to live there with my own mermaid. Mermaid stories always have some beauty, happiness and sadness too

I totally wanted to be a mermaid as a kid, because of this movie. I especially loved this ending! And I think that Ron Howard did such an amazing job making the underwater sequences realistic looking!

When I first saw it I thought that also. But it looks like a cut out or something so they don't zoom that much on it. But I wonder what it would really look like.

She saved his life 3 times. I can't believe he was so mean to her.

for once a movie where the man sacrifices for the woman and adapts to fit into her life and not the other way around. refreshing:)

The same idea in another great film with Tom Hanks "Groundhog Day". They also have it on YouTube. You gotta watch it if you didn't see it yet.

love this movie, but, one thought, how can he live with her until they're old and stuff, if he can't breath under water or anything? Wouldn't it get annoying to keep giving him air...and how would he sleep? Wait, I'm thinking too much about this....it's a really good movie!

I think that love doesn't necessarily mean having sex. Love is much more then that.. Sex is one of the way to please each other..

o man, i absolutely love this movie. half of the time i forgot that she was holding her breath, and her tail is amazing (im so glad its not blue like ALL the others ^-^) and one thing that makes me especially happy is that her clothes didnt "magically" disappear , she had to take the shirt off. FIVE STARS and i am soooo buying it on itunes for my ipod
