Popeye

[thomas15891]

i saw the girl get dragged down by tentacles and I've watched enough hentai to know where that was leading...

[marzli]

THIS MOVIE has everything: bitches, giant octopus, real men, spinach and a bud spencer clone

[cyberyanmar]

1:45 he would soon realize this was his life's biggest mistake

[delreal1000]

@FutureDJHero Yo no lie thought I was the only one who use to be scared of it dis what triggered my fear of octopus but overall classic movie

[aabbklll101]

keep good behavior thats ur 1 life savior

[Doug19752533]

best line in the entire movie - 4:27 "Popeye - toot! toot!", then the fantastic orchestral suite of all the songs including the famous "sailors hornpipe"..... classic

[gamehound83]

Paul Smith aka Bluto fought in the 6 day war. He now has a different name

[Doug19752533]

@gamehound83 i can only think of a handful of movies he made - Popeye (Bluto), Dune (Rabban), Red Sonja (Falkor), and Maverick (the Archduke).

[gamehound83]

@Doug19752533 He was also in Midnight Express

[Kelly14UK]

@gamehound83 Amazing discovery this week for me, I found out who played Bluto : same guy that played that animal in Midnight Express : )

[gamehound83]

@Kelly14UK He also is a veteran of the 6 day war. Has a different name now

[Kelly14UK]

@gamehound83 Just one more thing, sir. Peter Falk tried to enlist for Israel 1948. So I think.

[MrKhalil9]

what kinda octopus is that?

[vidaa82]

ill never forget i had to be abt 7 or 8 and my aunt rented this and bruce lee's fist of fury for me at blockbuster. that was a great afternoon. i discovered two great movies.

[themariokid1]

bluto is really dumb he should have known popeye would come back up and hit him

[Johny40Se7en]

I like the look and feel of this film, I only saw a part of it when I was younger but that part - 2:43 as they say 'more cheese than a sandwich shop' haha =P

[LeastLikedCritic75]

I wish the fight between Popeye and Bluto could have been more epic.

[wolverine1091]

robin williams does fit the role of popeye perfectly and the voice too. but could you see popeye being portrayed in this movie by Dave from full house?

[JrJackases]

damn right

[ericou812]

they perfectly picked the right actors

[Eagleboyhoove]

wheres the classic pipe tweets?

[Doug19752533]

@Eagleboyhoove he only did that once in this movie, during the boxing match with Oxblood Oxheart - he gets knocked into the ropes and tweets the pipe with a look anger

[galesnokes]

The eye is actually frightening.



[pingufan11]

hwy does nt he like spinace?

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@pingufan11 He didn't in the comics series, at first. They were trying to make the movie feel more like the comics than the Paramount cartoons.

[delideliver]

@pingufan11 in the cartoons,popeye actully sniffed garlic to get strong,before he discovered spinach did the trick

[TheCerberusInferno]

Cool movie

[NIGGAFLANIGAN]

Popeye got 5 Hoes on San Pablo in Oakland, California. He just bought a Spinach Green Cadillac on 24 Inches!!!

[lazylammy]

i have not seen this film in 15 years now and i am 21 now my god it brings back some really gd memorys :D

[WystenDraco]

1:43 LOL! It's a good bet that Bluto never made that mistake again.

[sugreev2001]

It's like I'm high,but I'm not o_O

[WystenDraco]

I miss this movie, I saw it when I was a kid, this movie is older than I am, but I always loved Popeye. I won't eat spinach of any kind other than canned and I won't eat it any other way than right out of the can, that's the only kind of spinach I like. I work at Walmart and went as Popeye one Halloween, cans of Spinach, pipe and all. I developed my tastes for that one kind of spinach and one way of eating it because of Popeye.

[dionstap]

@WystenDraco i was at dollar tree today and they had a popeye brand of canned spinach-what a trip! ever seen it or tried it? i was curuios but not enogh to buy a can! lol

[WystenDraco]

@dionstap

oh yeah, and it's like any other spinach. But when I was a kid, I hated spinach, and Popeye Spinach in a can was the only spinach my parents could get me to eat. I would not eat it cooked, or what not, I would only eat it right out of the can, just like Popeye.

[dionstap]

@WystenDraco wow thats some dedication! i love spinach-maybe ill go back and get some popeyes spinach!

[WystenDraco]

@dionstap

yea, even now still "I hates it!" I watch alot of Popeye still, Popeye inspired me to face my hate head on and still does to this day. Today my spinach is not limited to Popeye brand, but it's still limited to me eating it out of the the can.

[juliabohemian]

Saw this in the drive-in as a kid. Many octopus themed nightmares followed.

Who needs HGH when you have canned spinach?

[AngelGoddessLove]

Robin William did an awesome job... He did look like Popeye

[havok1175]

Man...that dude could swim.

[Kael2450]

Man Popeye is awesome always used to kick ass

[jm1lvmj]

Treasure Island.  One love.

[themichealproject20]

@jm1lvmj what do you associate with treasure island?

[chelle315]

@themichealproject20

Disney...

[themichealproject20]

[chelle315]

@themichealproject20

[themichealproject20]

[blahmeblahblahblah]

Haven't seen this in so long! And that octopus still looks damn scary!

[Cyke101]

Spinach: The Original Can of Whoop-Ass

[terencewoelke]

Shelley Duvall is spot on. HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!! SAve me POpeye, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLP!!!

[looneytoon76]

I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam

[Domanese]

Did.... did Popeye just punch out Chuthulu?

[FutureDJHero]

Alright Popeye!!!!!!!!!!!  2:00-2:50 Yo da (SAILOR) MAN!!!!

You kicked Bluto's and the octopus' ass!!

[marinegny70]

This was one of the best cartoon-to-live action movie made, yes it was silly and yes it was campy, but it was a cartoon from the 50s and 60s, and it tried to stay true to form, and it was funny as hell, I know were are not talking like John Houston or Coppala, but it was what it was (no pun) a fun silly family movie from the early 80s, pure entertainment.

[FutureDJHero]

God Bless Man I just love live-action and slapsticks like this, but they did a horrible job on Speed Racer and its a shame!

[bioshocknoob121]

popdeck pappy looks like bill from left 4 dead

[mailcarrier30]

@bioshocknoob121 You're right!  He does. LOL! Poopdeck Pappy takes on the zombie hords!! LOL! :)

[FutureDJHero]

"Dude, that octopus scared me like shit!!!"

[gutgeboren]

What a trash...

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

do you have a boyfriend ???

[lolanimations]

do you?

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

no :)

you wanna watch popeye in my apartment ?

[lolanimations]

@SuckingBallsYumYum asl?

[bluewhiting]

Always loved that uppercut!

[Alyssia800]

i think it was cute how the baby said his name papeye but his name is popeye

[kezadrone]

I acn see why this clip was listed with Warlords of Atlantis trailer here on youtube. Shot in Malta and has a giant Octopus

[ThePurpleKush]

anyone happen to know the year it was released?

[AdmrlLocke]

@ThePurpleKush In 1980. I dragged my poor college girlfriend to see it three times. :-D

[MsTwinkle101]

1980 :)

[Rosetree87]

@ThePurpleKush: 1980

[gargoyle2bad4u]

December 12,1980 was the release date.

[Kelismoviesmoothie]

Prefer the cartoon, love Williams though, he was the highlight

[badpeq]

He's Popeye the Sailor. Man...

[RodrigoRaposoRJ]

This movie was one of the first that I saw. It brings me back to my childhood. Robin Willians is really a great actor and this movie is brilliant.

[Nickshark1982]

God this takes me back!

[SirWilly77]

Why's Stanley Kubrick in the water beating up Popeye?

[copeito]

Hahahahaha! Very good!

[gargoyle2bad4u]

Gotta still love Popeye after all these years and Robin Williams' portrayal of the one eyed sailor was perfect. I always had to eat my spinach as a young boy whenever Popeye was on.

[jbdx241]

this was the first movie I saw in theathers when I was four years old

[symbiote102]

That Ouctopus Always creeped me out...even on the ride....

[Okonkwo009]

Man, you're not the only one.

[TheCoolProfessor]

This is the film that launched Williams to new heights of movie glory. But I also loved Ray Walston's performance as Poopdeck Pappy.

RIP Ray

[woodoven]

i think the shelley duvall had the same problem bela lugosi had with a big fake octopus in ed wood.

[Hotshotter3000]

This was far better done than that Octopus scene.

[desotoW]

One punch? I thought Popeye was gonna put a mad beating on Bluto but one victory punch? Come to think of it in the cartoons Popeye normally socked him once in the kisser. Great film tho!!

[Hotshotter3000]

The arm scene was awesome, though.

[jonmurr]

You have to be blazed to enjoy this.

[morkandmindyforever]

Ray Walston plays Popeye's pappy but he also played the martian in 'My Favorite Martian" with Bill Bixby back in the 1960's!

[morkandmindyforever]

I remember as a child I wanted to marry "Popeye" and "Fred Flintstone".  Now I would still marry "Popeye" but not "Fred". (ha, ha)

[morkandmindyforever]

Most of u people were not even here yet, I was 10 yrs old then and we all loved this movie.....Robin just starting out and 30 yrs later still going strong! Gotta love Robin!

[TherealRNO]

morkandmindy: Some of us were close (me, I am from 1984). Us 80's and 90's kids had the best of all worlds, it seemed. XD

[TherealRNO]

Robin Williams really is the only one to really nail this role, because Williams is cartoon like himself without playing a character! Indeed, Williams perfectly portrayed Segar's version of the anvil-armed sailor man to a tee.

[Efferts]

Im glad he did it before he got old.

[sweeney60]

@TherealRNO I certainly agree.

[TherealRNO]

@sweeney60: Yeah. Him and Dave (Joey from Full House) both make the best live-action Popeye.

[celaya4ever]

Nice bloomers which Olive wears at 0:49. It's a pity that those bloomers were wet

[painlessissuicide]

this film is the definition of "So bad, it's good"

I loved every minute of it

[Fymious]

That sums up this film.

[painlessissuicide]

glad you agree

[lilispider]

C'est naze mais c'est drôle ! :)

merci ltnfabien !!

[ltnfabien]

Il aurait pas du faire un film. C'est raté.

[coepa]

o filme é um barrato, mais eles poderião fazer outrou filme, nos tempos de hoje!!

[luckytesso]

1908 , robin Williams....

[Mark86h]

Was this a good movie?

[rootfish99]

Wow I remember loving this movie as a kid. Now looking back at it with modern sensibilites; am I wrong for finding the octocpuss wrestling Olvie Oyle erotic?

[gamehound83]

I always wanted Shelly Duvall so I guess my answer would be no

[kranktank]

You've been watching way to much hentai. ;)

[MissArtist1987]

oh snap i didn't know popeye had a movie lol

[Oldernyou]

lupinvash3, agree completely. it's on my 10 favorites list (along with films like "A Boy and His Dog"). Fgrandinetti is right about the audience not being familiar with the old strip, but I disagree with him about the songs, at least a bit.

[Fgrandinetti]

This film did not do well because it was based on Segar's "Thimble Theatre Starring Popeye' strip of the 1930's--which audiences didn't know in 1980. A live-action film based on the Fleischer animated cartoons may have done better. Plus, most of the songs are awful and Popeye NEVER hated spinach.

[Crazymike1975]

Popeye laid Bluto out!

[Hirsuticus]

That octopus used to scare the living shit outta me(literally on one occasion) It still sorta does

[pipala1984]

God I miss videos like this!!

[lupinvash3]

I think the song at the end was the best song out of the whole movie. This is by far one of Robin's best performances ever. Siskel and Ebert were right about giving two thumbs up. I feel that this movie has been underrated and unappreciated. Damn critics.

[Namath1965]

I agree 100%!

Saw this in the theater in 1980!

[AomQueen]

The Song Is So Catchy.

[AnimationGeek12]

In case you're all wondering, the reason Popeye doesn't like spinach in the movie is because he didn't in the comic book.

[Numba91Dude]

Popeye has a pair of SLEDGE HAMMER arms and fists when he eats his spinach. When he eats his spinach he HATES bullies and he gets pissed off !! I like that in him !!

[deblouses]

A lot of people like this movie for many good reasons. It's charming and fun to watch. It was also surprisingly accurate to the comic. It was unfortunately the musical version and not the straight comic version. It was released at the same time whereabouts of some giant megablockbuster which also helped to kill its audience turnout.

[SwampDaddy7]

I swear I have an uncle that looks like Popeye!

[grantyzbest]

chicken of the seas ye has to be the best line in this

[jigsaw817487]

Im pretty sure parents loved this show because it sent a great message: Eating your spinach makes you strong. Popeye is the best. It never gets old.

[DaNewsMan48]

wow i used to love popeye, now i think its a bunch of crap

[mookyvet]

This film has to be one of my very favorites. I remember seeing it as a child and being ENTIRELY entertained.  Man...now I want to watch the whole thing again...

[fatboyfingers]

A true classic

[millgiass]

I thought that the PopEye movie was a very exceptionally well made one. It reminded me of the Cartoons to the letter.

[sspdirect02]

A clear definition of what a live-action cartoon film is. Fans of the cartoon should like this movie.

[bigbill1991]

sspdirect02-So true.

[TherealRNO]

ssp: This and a few of the superhero films are true to their sources, unlike so many comic/cartoon-to-live-action remakes these days.

[sausageslaps]

what a cheesy movie, ill bet robin williams regrets this bomb

[sserpent21]

He has said it was his least favorite movie. There are many people though who love it alot. I like to think that if you made a movie based on a cartoon, you make it look like one, sound like on and get actors who look like their characters, but never draw attention to the fact that it is supposed to be a cartoon. This movie did that very well.

[mccabber24]

Don't blame him for not wanting to eat it...looked like crap...but id eat anything if it gave me that kinda strength!

[sserpent21]

Popeye can fuck some shit up. Woodland Critters, Bluto it doens't matter.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

He might even have a chance against Kenshiro.

[sserpent21]

Is that the anime thing that Camp Chaos made?

Something always bothered me about the end of this movie though? How do they get home? All the boats at the end were wrecked.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

No. Kenshiro's the protagonist of Fist of the North Star. (Hokuto No Ken in Japan.)

[sserpent21]

Oh, I was thinking of something else. Check out Popeye vs Anime on Youtube to see what I was thinking of, it's great.

[lrds8998]

popeye!!!!!

=)

[Ultrasecond]

This movie bombed when it came out because people are morons and didn't realize it was being 100% faithful to the old Max Fleischer cartoons. Siskel and Ebert realized this and rightfully praised the film but were almost alone in doing so.

Fortunately, tons of kids saw it on television years later removed of any bias from idiotic critics who panned the movie for monumentally retarded reasons and loved it. I was one of those kids.

[Ultrasecond]

Anyway, it only goes to show that in spite of the age of rottentomatoes, trusting critics completely is often a huge mistake.

[lovecuthbert]

I couldn't have said it better. The score is terrific, the casting was solid (Robin Williams nailed the role;

one of his best performances ever). This film deserved better support from the critics.

[mikeybear3269]

chuck norris vs popeye.. a death match!

[bigbill1991]

3269-I wanna see that.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

When Bluto opened that can, he signed his own death warrant.

[Crazymike1975]

You got that right!

[lonewolf28]

Remember seeing this movie as a child. Harry Nilsson's music is great.

[MattBL]

The father of all live-action cartoon films.

[bigbill1991]

Classic,good for all generations.

[danielandrews]

Fear Him Lol

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Never mind a loaded gun. Give Popeye a can of spinach, and victory's guaranteed against even the Incredible Hulk.

[Nlt9852]

I love the ending choral arrangement of Popeye the sailor man! Sounds good

[sleepydiva]

AMEN!

[YoshiAngemon]

Yeah, and "Look at that, Bluto turned yellow! Fraidy cat, fraidy cat!"

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"Chicken of the Sea."

[lupinvash3]

I second that. This is my only favorite version of Popeye the Sailor Man. It just sounded so wonderful and catchy, and the choral arrangement enhanced it. The instrumentation too.

[kalindoscopy]

sacred malta..

[JazzmanJessedereu]

i'm strong to the what? 'cause i eat me spinach? :p

[Musiqking06]

"finish"

[JazzmanJessedereu]

ow owkey ty ;)

[Phantomsbreath]

With his pronounskiation, it's strong to the Finich

[jeffizzzle]

je voudrais le vois

[HighwayCinema]

There's a really great book about the making of Popeye

[PriPat129]

I got the movie up guys for who ever wants to enjoy a old time favorite Enjoy

[qsefthmnb]

i want a second one, but with robin williams too...

[antdude]

I loved this movie as a kid!

[ninenov]

can anyone put the whole film on in parts??the whole return 2 oz film is!!!classic!

[gmusto]

I seen this film it sucked

[cairnswendy39]

Haven't seen this film in years! It's so funny to look back on it and it looks great in Widescreen.

[Musiqking06]

i never knew popeye hated spinach in the beginning until now

I really cannot more fondly remamber a movie than this.

"Ya don't l
