When Jack Elam started out he was an accountant for a few movie studios. His famous "eye" was caused by a classmate throwing a sharp pencil at his eye. It forever deformed his eye and some sight was lost. His reading fine print and numbers all day was taking it's toll on his vision. So he came up with a life changing idea. He offered to partially bankroll low budget movies.....IF.......he was allowed to have an acting roll in the film. Eventually the right people took notice of him and he became one of the most sought after memorable character actors in TV/movie history.
*Organ Music* "What is this crude interruption?!?" And then the whole explanation about cysts on the walls of her lungs. "Why, we can't even go through Denver, it's so high!" Fantastic! 😆
Now....... this is real live American heart and soul!!! The very comfortable and safe 80s. Those old comedians are timeless, and so are all those good old boy movies they made. God Bless is all!!!!
I'm getting old. all those great stars in this scene are gone now. this movie always cracked me up especially capt chaos...those who seen the movie will know who that was.
JJ: "don't you EVER tell me where you got him, I don't wanna know where you got him..." Victor: "...OK, I was just surprised that all the animals there were..." JJ: "I don't wanna know where you got him!" rofl, that line was priceless
I was on the floor with tears coming down because I was laughing so hard when I heard that. It went right back when Victor said "Before I open this, don't get your hopes up too high, I WAS PRESSED FOR TIME!"
@Charlie Luciano - Underrated? How? It´s not like you will see any Oscar-worthy acting, and some of the jokes are quite bad. Yes, it´s a funny movie - and I had some good laughs back in the 1980s when i watched it....but underrated? No....not in my opinion.
Cysts on the walls of her lungs. Very rare. You see, airplanes are only pressurized at 10,000 feet. Anybody who knows anything about medicine knows.. that she can't fly, she has to be driven. We couldn't even go through Denver, it's so high.
Professor of proctology and other related tendencies, graduate of the university of Rangoon and assorted night classes at the Knoxville Tennesee college of faith healing. Well, I feel safer already. When do we start?
Who knew that Jack Elam who usually played a villain in the older western movies could be so hilarious? I remember going to the movies with my family when I was about 8 years old and is still one of my all time favorites
wow i remeber this as a kid so glad i found it now jack elam was so good, the film was aswell, not every9ones fav but the comedy was there brilliant stuff
Dom Deluise was priceless he will be missed but never forgot about he was a great man and comedian. Just like Bernie Mac,Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx and those who have passed before him. We are sad but appreciative at the laughs that he gave us while he was here
I always loved when Dean Martin opens the van, sees the Doctor and that organ music plays. Just the look on Dean's face was priceless. He was drunk as hell but he looks like he sobers up real quick.
Great performance from Elam 🤣🤣R I P 🙏R I P Dom De Luise and Burt Reynolds to Farrah Fawcett 🙏,We'll talk about this later , I'm sure that doctor is a very sweet man , Basically,But don't you ever tell me where you found him 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't wanna know where you found him 🤣😂🤣😂
Jack Elam absolutely STOLE this movie! He is a lost art - those that just DO things funny! I was just watching the "California, here we come..." part, and I'm laughing as hard as I did 40 years ago!

That's when I knew that adventure was going to be fun...lol!!!
Wow, he's better qualified than Simpson's Dr Nick Riviera!
The organ playing when he appears is just perfect. XD
Dr. Frankenstein music... =)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

William Scott "Jack" Elam lost vision in the left eye at age 12 when a fellow Boy Scout jabbed him with a pencil during a scuffle at a troop meeting.
@@ShannonFreng certainly a unique way to get into the movies.....and what a long career he had.
"I was thinking more aloing the lines of two hundred doallars."
"Fuuuuu.... ortunatley..."

The creepy organ played in the background is hilarious! I'm terrified to find out where he got that doctor from LOL🤣🤣
This is hilarious, RIP Jack, Dom, Farrah, and Burt.. what a cast this entire movie had.
*Organ Music*
"What is this crude interruption?!?"
And then the whole explanation about cysts on the walls of her lungs. "Why, we can't even go through Denver, it's so high!"
Fantastic! 😆
The doctor was the funnest character in the film.

Dr is Jack Elam, huge character actor, played a great bad guy in Cowboy Movies
One of the truly great character actors. RIP Jack.
The organ music was genius.
"I'm just the driver. We have to ask the Doc. Nooooooooo."
That's the funniest thing I've heard in months.
That organ music set it off!
Jack Elam was great.
"I seldom need more than this!" *middle finger*
LOL!!
I love it!
“… and this!”
(squirts syringe)
"you may be a little over qualified for this job" lol

"my god the perfect specimen!!" the doctor is my favorite character in this movie. sammy davis jr is a close second.
Capt Chaos
Why don't you take that piece of shit back to the junkyard!
When he gives Reynolds a Dirty Sanchez LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The most underrated film of the 80s
Watched the doctors part on this movie several times over. Crying with laughter every time.
Jack Elam and Marty Feldman should have done a movie together.
I have th out that for sooooo long!
Dr van Helsing rules!!! I love his scary organ theme music
I'm getting old. all those great stars in this scene are gone now. this movie always cracked me up especially capt chaos...those who seen the movie will know who that was.
No, he was...Dun dun DAAAAA: Captain U.S.A.!!
You know I don't want you to mention "him"
JJ: "don't you EVER tell me where you got him, I don't wanna know where you got him..." Victor: "...OK, I was just surprised that all the animals there were..." JJ: "I don't wanna know where you got him!" rofl, that line was priceless

+Charlie Luciano I agree!

It's just a rip-off of The Gumball Rally.
@@trikkerman1 But the gumball rally sucked! 🤭

about medicine knows.. that she can't fly, she has to be driven. We couldn't even go through Denver, it's so high.
"California here we come! Right back where we started from!"
That "frog faced, drunk doctor" is the one and only Jack Elam. What a character!!!
Professor of proctology and other related tendencies, graduate of the university of Rangoon and assorted night classes at the Knoxville Tennesee college of faith healing. Well, I feel safer already. When do we start?
Priceless!
Don’t you ever tell me where you found him...... Ever..... LMFAO
Pure Brilliant! Jack Elam makes this movie so memorable.
Everyone did
One of my fave film characters of all time!
Absolutely classic movie :-) don't think they'll ever have movie stars like this anymore.
I think the Doctor's my favorite; makes me laugh every time!
Who knew that Jack Elam who usually played a villain in the older western movies could be so hilarious? I remember going to the movies with my family when I was about 8 years old and is still one of my all time favorites
I like the fact that we never learned where Victor found him. It's one of big movie mysteries, (after the three shells).
I seen this 4 or 5 times in the movie's with my best friend as a teenager, I fall around the place laughing. Rolex in ireland. 👍👍👏👏☘☘❤❤
Jack Elam.....Legend
Now THAT is the kind of doctor I want, not stuck in their laptop unwilling to make eye-contact.
this movie is a complete classic
Awe, these were the days. This was on every Xmas 😍
Don't you EVER tell me where you found him.
Who'd love to see that guy pop out of the TARDIS ?
Burt has one of the best laughs :D
That organ when Victor opens the door is hilarious! Elam was cool, didn't mind poking fun at himself.
Elams facial expressions are priceless.
I hope the people who did the casting for this film received the Nobel LOL Award.
Lmfao. No matter how many times I watch this scene I die.
Wonderful! Love them all.
"What is this crude interruption!" A line I try to use to this day.
wow i remeber this as a kid so glad i found it now jack elam was so good, the film was aswell, not every9ones fav but the comedy was there brilliant stuff
Where victor got the Doc is still a mystery even today..:)
Dom Deluise was priceless he will be missed but never forgot about he was a great man and comedian. Just like Bernie Mac,Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx and those who have passed before him. We are sad but appreciative at the laughs that he gave us while he was here
The bit where the doc is injecting himself cracks me up every time :)
Jack Elam,what a great and funny guy and the part was perfect.
Jack Elam, just the kind of doctor you'd want to see heading the covid-19 vaccine development
Couldn't be any worse then what we had.
1:12 "Fu...ortunately..." hysterical!!
I always loved when Dean Martin opens the van, sees the Doctor and that organ music plays. Just the look on Dean's face was priceless. He was drunk as hell but he looks like he sobers up real quick.
oh my god my sides are hurting im laughing so much
Oh god... I'm cying with laughter. That organ music is a killer. Brilliant.
Doc = the late,great Jack Elam.
This clip from Cannonball Run makes my day lmao
And other related tendencies 😂😂😂
"holy shit"' lol
The disclaimer given prior to the ambulance door being opened was priceless!
Pause it at :37. But make sure you have a mattress on the floor first because you will fall out of your seat from laughing so hard!
In my opinion, Jack Elam stole every scene he was in.
They don't make them like this no more 😪
Loved the outakes in the credits😂😂
And this is the guy who assembled your headlights (Home Improvement) 😂
everytime he looks ..that music is great
Like in Young Frankenstein
"I'm honored Sir! I'm Doctor Nichol-EEEEKKKHUAAKKK Nicholas Van Helsing!"
Don't you ever tell me where you found him! LOL!
I love this movie , the doctor is my favorite person
Holy shit😳.🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 Jack Elam was perfect. Fuc-fortunately 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That organ when the show the Doc is the best!!
One of The Greatest Comedy Characters Ever. Absolutely stellar casting and performance. Legendary scene stealer. Nonstop🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When he sees the girl in the ambulance his face and when giving himself an injection Burt Reynolds face priceless
"Fuh..ortunately" made 15 year old me laugh super hard!
Love went he slaps his finger underneath Burt's nose.
Great performance from Elam 🤣🤣R I P 🙏R I P Dom De Luise and Burt Reynolds to Farrah Fawcett 🙏,We'll talk about this later , I'm sure that doctor is a very sweet man , Basically,But don't you ever tell me where you found him 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't wanna know where you found him 🤣😂🤣😂

On a sobering note, it seems very strange to watch the ambulance scenes and realize they're all gone. Doesn't seem possible.
My god... the perfect specimen...
Wow, I guess all that vampire hunting really took a tole on him
Prof. Of proctology and other related tendancies...
At the scene by the train station Jack Elam was one of the 3 men Harmonica shoots in Once upon a time in the west.
DON'T you ever tell me where you got him.....EVER!!!
