  • Cutest movie. Ever.

  • Hilarious...! Johnny Depp can do any character and play it like a fucking beast!!

  • I also live in Spokane!

  • kinda weird thinking one of the worlds most known and popular actors was in the same city as me! Wierd...

  • I live in spokane to! well the valley.but still lol!

  • I live in Spokane!

  • This makes me smile!

    

  • Boy do I love living near Spokane!!!

  • he is so cute.

  • "No, I got thrown out of school for doing that."

    Tips over bench.

    Keeps on walking.

    Love it!

  • I live in Spokane WA, and I'm proud to say I've stood in the same area Johnny Depp has. HELL YEAH!

  • Cool I was there today

  • Yay I live in Spokane

  • This movie is so underrated. It's lovely, and Sam, Johnny Depp's character, is amazing. I wish I could meet someone like him irl. And HIS CLOTHES! :D And his hat! Sooo cute. ^w^ Can't get enough of him!

  • @kashmir053 I know, right? I live there....in Spokane, WA. I mean I live here, in Spokane, where Benny And Joon was filmed. You know what? Its now April 20th, 2011, and so far this year, in Spokane, the temperature has not risen above 59 degrees farenheit. Crazy right? Its nearly May and the hottest daytime high so far has been 59. And that was in March! Cliff Stern hooked up Johnny Depp's cable tv in 92 when filming was goin on. Mark Nelson eventually fired him though.

  • 1:02 I was tripping the Fuck out when I saw that!!! XDXDXD

  • Brilliant!

    Only Johnny Depp could do that!

  • Johnny Depp is so damn fiiiine!

    Too bad he is as old as my momma. Kinda a turnoff..

  • I have this scene to thank for discovering Buster..thanks johnny!

  • Johnny Depp is so damn fiiiine!

    Too bad he is as old as my momma. Kinda a turnoff...

  • @MarshmallowRenegade noooo.....he's getting better with age :)

  • Where in the park was this filmed??

  • I LOVE THIS SCENE! is sooo cuuuuuute♥

  • My husband was the little boy who ran around in the background playing with the bubbles. (2:18) . He got a chance to meet Johnny Depp after waiting in a line for hours just to get his signature and give it away to his baby sitter, later on.  LOL. He said Depp was very nice to everyone on the set (even extras), which I thought was neat to hear about. I always thought this was a cute movie.

  • great movie filmed in my hometown of Spokompton

  • such a great movie and filmed in my city. =] haha this movie came out a year after i was born hahaa

  • I was walking through the park on this particular day and thought that a commercial was being filmed...had no idea who Johnny Depp was at the time. I stood around the action like many others were doing...just being curious. Some years later...an ex of mine said she saw this film Bennie and Joon and stuck it the VCR and said...LOOK!! That's you!! So there's my brush with greatness...I'm an incidental extra. Of course I tell everyone now that I was in a movie with Johnny Depp.

  • @airtwofire Jealous!

  • yay i live in spokane!!!!!

  • mY BROTHERS JEAN HAT DOES THAT ;-)

  • every time i watch this part, i carnt stop laughing hehehe!

  • :D .....omgosh, when I watched this movie, I totally didn't see that it was Riverfront Park. Haha, I live in Spokane lol

  • how does he do the one when he step towards the hat and then it moves away with out him touching it? and please tell me it more than some stage hand with a piece of string

  • Is Spokane a nice city?

  • Thank you very much for adding for us this beautiful movie!

    Love!

    Gil :-)

    He's got talent! :)

  • @deirnoel yeah ^_______^ stunt double lol:3

    well hes a beast ;D

  • i wonder if he really threw himself like not without a stunt devil or anything just him:)

  • @DESiSAUR that's so cute. you mean "stunt double" and i think he did it all.

  • i live in spoakane and there is also a warehouse in hilyard were this was filmed

  • Sometimes people ask me why I love this man so much. I just say 'watch this'

  • I did this for my act in my school's talent show xD then switched over to the bread scene and did that on a picnic table my friends brought in

  • LOL! So entertaining!

  • "did you have to go to school for that?" "Oh no, i got thrown out of school for that." Hahahahahahahahahah! classic!

  • haha for those who went to North Central High School, if you pause it at 2:36 and look to the right of the video, thats Herm Marshall, former P.E. teacher. lol

  • @ alf42069pj, he was my Gym teacher from 92-95 at North central, Funny... Also a friend of the family used to own Ferguson's cafe on Garland.

  • Comment removed

  • wat year was this movie made??

  • 1993

  • Summer of 1992 in Spokane. The inside of the hospital scenes were made in an old warehouse near Hamilton and Trent, where I had to deliver 5-gal. bottles of water to every weekday. When this was shot, they cordoned off Riverfront Park massive that day.

  • i luv this film, i love sam hows he kicks the hat bout and does sum really stupid things its funny:)

  • i dont think Sam had a mental problem ericm1988 he was just odd (which i love). lol I have a hat kinda like that and when i first saw this movie i went to wal mart i got bored so i kicked it around like that then me and my sister pretended that we couldnt let go of each others hands like how Sam did. it was hysterical!!!!!

  • i live in spokane. and i go to river front park ALL THE TIME. its awesome seeing the backround and being like "I WAS THERE!!!" lol

  • This is tight, I live in spokane and it's cool to see a movie filmed in my own town.

  • i saw this moview on netflix... it was a great movie helping people understand how 2 opeople with a mental problem can relate to one another

  • same here, i saw it on Netflix too. good movie. Johnny Depp is so good in all his movies.

  • johnny depp had a mental problem in the movie?!

    i thought he was normal and that that was just his personality

  • @fingersplustoes no that's just the personality of the character he plays. it's really cute. actually i think, when he he was younger, i can see him doing this just for fun in a park, because he's Johnny Depp.

  • @royalparadigm Think again.

  • a brilliant homage to Buster Keaton performed by a very talented actor...and he is mighty sexy too ;-)

  • haha aww i havent seen this mvoie in so long

  • :)))

  • johnny depp is by far the best actor of recent years, i cant think of a bad performance.

  • :59 the man in the green is my older brother! :)

  • haha so awesome. I was just watching this, I was like "ooh look, that guy stopped. he's all interested in sam's crazy antics."

  • oh god how i love benny and joon and i love the park bit where hjes doing all these tricks very funny :)

  • Does anyone know how they did the thing at 1:06?

  • ohh i love this movie!

    i love sam! hes the perfect guy!

  • Such a classic. Great movie <3

  • watched this last night :) great filim

  • one of my favoriye moviies. i wany a sam. a sam like this sam. oh like say he hangs on a rope and flys by your window XD

  • Gosh I love this movie... :) Johnny is the best!

  • My dad helped make this movie...He helped with the music I think...But yeah, I live In spokane. River Front Park is awesome...

  • I have been a professional clown for fourteen years. I have toured with Ringling Bros. I got to meet Weird Al Yankovic several times. And it's all because when I was nineteen and just out of high school I saw this scene and thought, "That's what I want to do with my life!"

  • I meant to press thumbs up but accidently pressed thumbs down...crazy story tho dude...bomb shit.

  • @CaptainBugg If you hadn't seen the movie "Patch Adamsyet.. I think it's the next step for you! You'll thank me later! The Real Patch also have a website called: "Gasundheit!" I once wrote him a letter and he answered me back! Just a wonderful person! Have a great life! and way the go on living up your dream! I just saw this movie again on tv, and thought about it myself.. Evn though I'm a social worker now.. I have other dreams too! :-) Like writing.. :-D Love! Gil :-)
  • Yeah, I saw it. It's a true story that was made up! :op I got to meet Patch Adams back in '99 when he gave a lecture at ODU. VERY tall guy, at least 6'5", hair down to his waist which was orange and blue, and a big ole handlebar mustache. He didn't like the movie, but it got his message out there, plus he got the royalties for his hospital.

  • @CaptainBugg You got to meet Weird Al? He's one of my heroes! How cool! =D

  • @CaptainBugg Happy for you to live in your dream

  • I LOVE AIDAN QUINN!!

  • This movie is so great. It makes me laugh every time when I see this scene.

    There is only one thing that I don't like. Some of my friends like to say that I'm a lot like Sam. I think that saying that is an insult to Johnny Depp.

  • How so?

  • Because Johnny is awesome and I am not XD

  • I think being a lot like a Sam is a compliment. He is so sweet.

  • this scene rly brings out the kid in you. idk if this is true 4 evryone, but while watching this i wasn't concerned about how it was done. I was smiling, laughing, and completly consumed by the freedom of Johnny

  • Johnny Depp is a genius! great clip *Adds to Favorites*

  • omg i first saw this movie when i was 10 and loved it i cant beileve i live right by riverfront

  • wow ive been there so many times its cool that johny depp was ther!

  • magnets or strings

  • How'd he make the hat move @ 1:06 - 1:10 ...Am I missing something obvious?

  • I dont understand that either... it really bugs me! does no one else know?!?!

  • its filmed backwards everybody moves backwards. he has a string on his shoe and the hat and so when he walks back the hat goes with him.

  • rofl.

  • Filmed backwards? ..No.

    Fishing line pulls the hat when he kicks it, that's how it moves so far in such a strait line, then they pull on the string further to mimick the action of Depp. Thats how it moves by itself. Very simple.

    The only problem is, this is also very impossible. Why not just have him pull a rabbit out his ass while he's at it? That would've made about as much sense.

  • he kicked it but when he didn't touch it there was string.

  • one of the best movie scenes EVER

  • i love 3:41

  • Gotta love Johnny Depp! He plays his roles well!

  • i love spokane and would love to live there again!

  • I love Spokane. I like to look at all the B&J locations when I go there but I always skip the park because I don't want to pay to park just to go there so I drive by it instead.

  • GENIUS!!!!!!

  • how does he do that?!?!

  • haha i have sat in that exact spot millions of times! anyway funny scene :)

  • Love this clip , Johnny is amazing here , and so is the whole movie !-)))

  • how does he do the hat trick where he flips it off his and her head?

  • i love this seen too its funny lol

  • lol i only live like 30 mins away from riverfront park thats so cool! LOL

  • I love this part!

  • i really like this johnny is soooo good i love him =]]]]]

  • Its awesome!!!!really good job!!!!!!

  • it's awsome!!

  • he's awesome

  • My sister's boyfriend knows how to do the hat trick! But he lives in New Zealand so he can't teach it to me. But he said if he was ever able to meet with us (not very likely) he would teach it to me if I taught him something on the piano. Benny & Joon ROCKS!!!!!!!

  • this is an awsome johnny movie

    all his movies are awesome

  • does anyone know how to do the hat trick

    ???

    much appreceiatted

  • my cousin does

    its awsome

  • I go to RFP now and then

  • how the f*** did i stumble this?

    Thats amazing i live in spokane and i was just there at riverfront park yesterday to see dark knight at the imax.

    ...so random

  • Thats Top Rate Acting.. Johnny Depp Is Awsome..

  • i love Johnny Depp in this

    and this scene is sooo great

  • Wow. Part Buster Keaton, part Charlie Chaplin, part Harold Lloyd... even a bit Marcel Marceau.

    All rolled into one. Johnny Depp is the man.

  • OMG I live in spokane!!! I never new this town was so special wen i moved here but after seeing this movie OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YAY SPOKANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Just cause i cant spell:P my bad lol

  • Payin homage to Charlie chapman:)

  • Chaplin :)

  • what kind of a hat is that?

  • Dude, he's using his fingers.

  • yeah...I figured that out..lol

  • mybye he rubbed it on the carpet so it goes all megnety so it keep omving away when someone touches it ?

  • it looks like he's swiftly kicking it along, until the part that it moves on it's own o.0

  • A porkpie, like Buster Keaton's. Except Johnny's isn't folded as flat as Buster's.

  • ^^

    Johnny Depp... is the best!

  • I don't know how some people can NOT love Johnny Depp. He is great! And I love him in this scene especially because he can amaze people without even trying so hard. i watched this movie over and over and over when I was like, 5, and I didn't know that it was Johnny Depp. I didn't even know who Johnny Depp was. Once I figured out that it was him, I had to see the movie again IMMEDIATELY. It is a great movie, I love it to death.

  • This film, and Fear and Loathing, have to be his best work, nothing else is worth watching.

  • the best scene of the film , it's a very good dramatical comedy !! i love !!!

  • è il film più bello che abbia mai visto...fa sognare...e fa sorridere...

  • This is funny and brilliant ,amazing movie, Johnny is so cute, charming and emotional , he's my biggest star indeed !

  • i love depp in this scene- extremely talented man! actually i love depp throught the entire and just in general! lol

  • Wow. What I've always considered the best and most magical scene of the movie. It's great because it does two things at once: it provides Johnny Depp with a wonderful uninterrupted showcase of his physical comedy skills (while simultaneously paying tribute to Chaplin, Lloyd, and Keaton), and it also gently advances the film's plot, as the moment he breaks through to Aidan Quinn. And it wouldn't be truly magical without the lush music score of Rachel Portman. Thank you for this post.

  • good music good film and very good actor !!! i loove this film

  • I luv this scene, it really shows wat a gre8 actor he is and he's so adorable.

  • MY FAV LOL this is still the best i think his new movies are that good

  • Did you have to go to school for that? No, no I got thrown out of school for that. LOL! I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Johnny plays the cutest most loveable character ever. Superb movie!
