The Hudsucker Proxy - Hulahoop

[notamexican91]

i love the part when they're figuring the price

[bluth78]

you know, for kids ! another great from the coens

[MuNoZ243]

lmao those kids are like " NO...EFFN...WAY... =O "

[aydree]

I can't believe people rated this masterpiece 7.4 on IMDB. The new Planet of the Apes piece of crap is rated 8.0...

What kind of screwed up world do we live in ?

[ivlfounder]

@aydree

Idiots love any movie with monkeys in it.

[ctchampagne]

I've seen this movie so many times but I just now noticed for the first time the books that the woman is reading in front of the "Creative Bullpen". Lol :D

[nospve]

wtf is this shit.

[OrCohen93]

BEST SCENE EVAR

[erikopnemer]

Also, isn't it pure eye-candy? If you want your movie to look gorgeous, hire Roger Deakins.

[erikopnemer]

The "creative bullpen" bit is sheer brilliance.

[jeffmangumisgood]

i love the "what will this cost?" room, there's like 500 people in there. and the guys look when the accountant adds the 1 in front of .79. and then the $3.99 sticker! a great look at american capitalism.

[CygnusXII]

The Song used in this scene that everyone likes is Breakfast Machine by Danny Elfman. It was written for Peewee Hermans Big Adventure.

It was also used for the Big Blue Ball Machine Animated GiF

[decunamus2]

@CygnusXII There are 3 music pieces. None of them is Breakfast Machine by Danny Elfman. I only know the last song which is the Sabre Dance a famous piece used in a lot of movies. The other 2 are i think original Carter Burwell music. It's even called hula hoop song on the cd.

[AlkaroSmb]

una de las más hermosas secuencias que he visto en el cine

[MattmanFishgoose]

This movie is perfect. The cast....the soundtrack...the writing

[chandocubias]

hey ....... @styo 20

la cancion es "the Saber Dance", yo tambien la he buscado, hoy la encontré

this son is "the Saber Dance", that was my question too, and today i found it

[syto20]

THIS SONG??? 3.30 at 5.30 ¿?¿?

[syto20]

THIS SONG??? 3.30????PLEASE

[ZyxthePest]

I love the cinematography for this movie, it's astounding. Sam Rami probably helped there as well, considering the Coen Brothers never really get this visually intense. This and Raising Arizona are their two most cartoony comedies.

[TheChanclasVerdes]

And you thought Matrix had the first shocking slo-mo.

[daimokudiva]

one of my all time favorites!

[cowboybebop82]

one of the best scenes i ever seen

[flatronl1915SLG]

3.99 lol



[panamablanc73]

i saw this movie in a cinema, was 20 at that time (i remember the whole audience was laughing during half an hour, i don't know why, sometimes it happens it's really exiting) .when the kid takes the hullahoop i thought i was dying...again you hve that scene where time is suspended and newman is petrified. you need to see on a cinema screen. if not you loose a lot.

[Hudsucker94]

This is one of my favorite,and one of the best,by the all great Coen Brothers!!!!

[Makolmillion]

At 5:25

worst child actor ever.

[thinedoor2]

But doesn't his expression work well in the scene?

[elmerScmelmer]

@Makolmillion he tought it was the hudsucker

[eoindamann]

one of the greatest pieces of cinema work ever created... the Cohen brothers are genius... total genius

[jamesgandhi94]

@eoindamann i disagree

[eoindamann]

sorry james i meant to say 'except for the candy mountain scene in charlie the unicorn'

[jamesgandhi94]

eoin....its a choo choo shoe

[m00nm4st3r]

@eoindamann They are indeed, but don't forget that the Coen Bros. cowrote this with Sam Raimi.

[morgantown1]

you know.....for kids!

[doceigen]

The Hudsucker Proxy is NOT! even close to the real story behind either the Hula Hoop or the Frisbee... not their invention, their production, their naming, or ANY part of it! NOT in any shape, or form! Complete and total fiction!

I know, ...I was there.

[NuovoPiero]

MORON ...........

[doceigen]

Yes, the Coen Bros. are morons.

[thinedoor2]

I didn't realize that the Coens' decision to use the hula hoop phenomenon as a device in an imaginative work of cinematic fiction rather than relaying in a tepid, COMPLETELY historically accurate documentary fashion its origins means that they're "morons."

[doceigen]

Also, they were not initially put in TOY STORES, they were added to the product distribution in SPORTING GOOD stores along with the Sling Shots, the Cross Bows, and the water sports devices... there was NOTHING in this film that was in the least!! accurate, at ALL! And Kids did not gravitate towards them naturally, it was the potential to be in the matinee newreels and the national contests, that my Dad promoted into existence, which made them attractive to people.

[TulseLuper]

Not one of my favorite Coen Brothers films but this sequence is glorious. Didn't Sam Raimi direct this bit?

[moozeditty]

Mind-bogglingly fantastic.

[nowareroom]

the greatest montage ever and one of the best six minutes in the history of cinema. i love this film.

[porsache]

This is indeed a very underrated movie. As a big fan of the Coen Brothers i am surprised how relatively unknown this movie is. This is, without a doubt, a great sequence. The boy with the hullahop round his neck in the end is a great shot!

[SignorBacon]

this has gotta be my favourite sequence in the movie.

[RapierInternational]

i never understood this movie, but it's fair fair.

this compares anything better to the first mailroom scene, what is with that jabbering employer.

[Hudsucker94]

One of the coens best and most overlooked.

[syto20]

@Hudsucker94 thi is song???

[Tailslide1970]

I love this scene and this movie. They are borrowing heavily on Terry Gilliam though. Anyone who likes this should check out 'Brazil'.

[Hudsucker94]

Yeah def. Was reminded much of brazil,esp visually. Thematically. Thematically,it's more Frank Capra meets Howard Hawks.

[H215]

Thanks for posting this clip. I've always regarded it as utterly brilliant.

[DeadJerker]

Brilliant beyond words

[anglicansag]

BRILLIANT !!! The Editing is Fierce. The Cinematography is superb. The Score MOVES the action. The Production Design is superlative. The Best Scene in one of the best Coen brothers film........... without a doubt !!!!!!

[playmobilguy]

What a beautiful scene!

[richg425]

Best scene of a very, very underated movie.

[smeagollu]

That's by far the most inspiring scene I've done in a Hollywood movie. All Coen brothers films are great, but this movies/scene stands out!

[ccfox9133]

I love this scene so much. From the pneumatic tubes, the acounting that adds a one,the insane proving ground, the agonising advertising, the desperate shop owner, and my favourite, the beginning of a fad, the screaming children, and the skyrocketing price. Genius.
