- This is the original review of Heartbeeps by Siskel & Ebert on "Sneak Previews" in 1981. All of the segments pertaining to the movie have been included.
Alan Arkush, director of Heartbeeps and Caddyshack 2. A legacy to stand by.
I watched this thing on HBO when it landed there in the early 80's, I must have been 5 or 6 years old. It took me almost 40 years to finally figure out the name of this thing based on weird patchy memories. I remember being horrified by that bear scene. What a strange movie.
Even Andy admitted on Dave Letterman one time he said the movie was a flopped..he hated making it.....
There’s a behind the scenes story on this movie with Andy’s displeasure of filming this, he wasn’t allowed to be himself in the role, which would’ve benefited the film if they had just Andy have fun with the role. It might’ve been remembered more fondly.
It's funny that Gene criticized Roger for mispronouncing Jean Luc Godard, then turned around and mispronounce the name of Lauren Tewes.
this movie was cute! I liked it....
Did you hear the one about the man who was killed by a weasel?
He sat on a railway track, a train was coming, and he didn't hear the weasel.
I learned that joke from Catskill when I first saw this movie and told it over and over again to my parents' chagrin.
They should have had Andy Kaufman improvise his role. That would have made it a whole lot better
It definitely would have.
Someone with shaky nerves ventures into a cave for shelter only to be seen sprinting right back out a moment later while being chased by a bear. I liked it better the first time. ...when it was called "The Yogi Bear Show".
It wasn’t the fault of the cast, more so the writing and the producers. The cast knew it was really bad. If the writing had been better, perhaps if they hadn’t forced Andy to do a voice that sounds like a mix between Foreign Man and Tony Clifton or cover him in prosthetics, with the right amount of creative control, this could have been really great.
...the film overall is weak, but now it's a nice little gem from the 80's...
What??? They didn't even mention the CRIMEBUSTER! That is the best part of the movie! He has the best lines and is the funniest of all! Plus, the subplot of the movie is the chase from him. There is alot of philosophy in this movie. When they run out of batteries at the end, it is very sad. Did anyone watch it until the end?
The first minute was so boring i turned it off
What makes the scenes so awful is that there's NO MUSIC. The scene where he's speaking to the "son" robot would be actually tolerable with some emotional score underneath it.
One huge no-no just from watching this clip: Having the robots talk exactly like robots is much stupider and less believable than how C-3PO talked in the Star Wars trilogy. He used technical terminology, yes, but he also talked like a person and his conversations with R2-D2 felt very human.
I think this was maybe inspired more by Tik Tok and the Tim Man from the Oz books than from Star Wars, based on the clips. Where they insist on being unfeeling and robotic, but constantly reveal how they care about their companions.
@@PaulSmith-qs1es Interesting. I only ever read the first Oz book, but I don't remember the Tin Man talking like a robot, though.
@@connorbrennan4233 tik tok talks like a robot, but both robot/androids have this idea of being unable to have feelings. tik tok was perhaps created as a refinement on the idea of the tin man. He speaks with "Each syll-a-ble sep-ar-ate" which has been used in sci fi ever since, despite that apparently not being a thing with robots in reality.
the books are worth reading. They are for kids, but I feel like most 20th century sci-fi was the writer taking an idea from the Oz books and saying "what if this were real?" And a lot of famous sci fi writers were members of the International Wizard of Oz club, like Ray Bradbury, Philip Jose Farmer, Harlan Ellison
Oh my! Bernadette Peters....
The hottest woman on the big screen in 1980.
I first saw them.....ahem... I mean HER, in 1979's "The Jerk".
Haven't been the same since.
I was 7.
Before the thumbs rating system was implemented.
it is very dulls... too bad, neat concept.
Gene's off by only a few minutes, in which the movie was technically 78 minutes long, but from hearing his review of only "the first three minutes" before the movie titles, it almost sounds as if we were watching a real "short film", added to a film that doesn't follow the same structure, that the first three minutes had. Call me crazy for saying it, but Heartbeeps became a film called "Heartcheaps", after seeing how poor and "dreary" it was all made.
My god.....
How the heck did Kaufman get railroaded into making this stink bomb? I wonder if he deliberately took the worst script he could find.
think on Letterman he admitted he hated making it
I’ll agree, not a great film. Not even John Williams score is that great, but it’s probably the best thing in this bad film.
This movie is 88 minutes? I got achingly bored just watching a 1 minute clip of it.
Actually less more like 79
The biggest mystery is how Kaufman, who lived to troll people, managed to get through this film without pulling out his Tony Clifton character and starting a fistfight with the director....
He may have and probably did, but there isn’t much on the behind the scenes of it unfortunately.
Film wasn’t the right medium for Kauffman. He thrived off a live audience.
C3PO & R2-D2 inspired plenty of film ideas and scripts around this period
I've seen it. It's okay,but its pace is too slow.
Years later,Pixar would give us a better story about robot romance.
Dreary, boring, and... whimsical? 😂
I can't believe this movie even got an Oscar nomination for the makeup. Splash some metallic makeup on their faces and it's worthy of an Oscar nomination? Glad that it's only competition was "An American Werewolf in London" that won in the first year the category was introduced. No competition at all.
I am so cringed from that clip…
Its on roku....unfortunately. 3/10
