Nine to Five (1980)

 

 

Frank Hart is a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot!  And the three women who work directly under him are tired of it!  They're tired of his ignorance and definitely disgusted of his taking advantage of people!  There must be a change in the work place!  But what can they possibly do?  Trap him in his own house, tie him up and gag him, and assume control of his department?  Hmm... not such a bad idea!

 

"Nine to Five" made its premiere on December 19, 1980 and ended up being one of the most highest grossed films to have ever hit the box office, bringing in $103 million, which was huge back then.  It was only nominated for one Oscar at the Academy Awards (Best Original Song, "Nine to Five" sung by Dolly Parton) for which it wouldn't win.  Dolly Parton was also nominated for three Golden Globes for her involvement in this film: Best Motion Picture Actress for a Musical/Comedy, Best New Star of the Year for a Motion Picture, and Best Original Song.  Alas, again she wouldn't win any.  In fact the only award "Nine to Five" won was the People's Choice Award for the Favorite Theme Song, "Nine to Five."

 

So what was it that made this film such a huge hit?  I believe it was a matter of relativity.  People could relate to the story.  Those situations that the characters Judy, Violet and Doralee went through, the way they were treated by their boss, Franklin M. Hart, Jr., and the fantasies they conjured up of what they'd love to do to him if they had the chance... millions of people felt the same way! 

 

Based on a story by Patricia Resnick, she wrote the screenplay to "Nine to Five" along with Colin Higgins who also directed it, his second of only three films he ever directed before he died in 1988 in Beverly Hills.

 

Starring Jane Fonda (Judy), Lily Tomlin (Violet), Dolly Parton (Doralee) in her first feature film, and Dabney Coleman, here's some other behind-the-scenes info you might like to know...

 

1.  According to "Variety," Jane Fonda was the initiator of this project. The picture was the third of six movies made by her production company IPC Films.

 

2.  Her film debut, Dolly Parton, in preparation for her role as Doralee Rhodes, not only committed to memory her own part, but the parts of every other actor in the film. Apparently, the 2 other and more experienced co-stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda burst out laughing when Dolly Parton let on that she believed that pictures were filmed in the chronological order of a film's script.

 

3.  Reportedly, Dolly Parton was cast in this movie because Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin felt that she would "bring them the West."  Parton was both a lead actress and singer in this film and sang the title '9 to 5' song which got Oscar nominated.  In an interview with Isaac Mizrahi, Parton states that when she wrote and performed the theme song to Tomlin and Fonda, she used her long acrylic nails to create the beat to the song.   

 

4.  To prepare for her role as Judy Bernly, a middle-aged divorcée entering the workforce, actress Jane Fonda interviewed a number of women who had entered the labor market late in life due to being widowed or divorced. Fonda took from this an element for her character, that of being over-dressed on her first day. Fonda wore an over-frilly over-prim very dowdy conservative wardrobe with over-sized glasses, elaborate hats and an over-done hair-style.

 

5.  First of two consecutive back-to-back movies for actors Dabney Coleman and Jane Fonda who together played spouses in 1981's "On Golden Pond."

 

6.  The three main characters' first names were based closely on their real first names. Jane Fonda's role was Judy Bernly, Dolly Parton's role was Doralee Rhodes and Lily Tomlin's role was Violet Newstead.   

 

7.  The office building exteriors were filmed at the Pacific Financial Center on West 6th street, Los Angeles.

 

8.  The name of the company was "Consolidated Industries". Most of the picture is interiors of its workplace and this was filmed on Sound Stage 6 at 20th Century-Fox studios in Hollywood. A two-level set that cost around $1 million was constructed to feature interiors of two floors of a then modern office complex.   

 

9.  Violet's fantasy features Disney-like characters from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (including Violet herself as Snow White), "Bambi" and "Robin Hood." The animated characters resembled the Disney characters but were obviously drawn differently for legal reasons.   

 

10.  In the middle of the film, Dolly Parton and her colleagues send a nosy secretary to the Aspen Language Center in Colorado to learn French. The particular TWA 747 shown in the film later was used in reality on the ill-fated flight of TWA 800, which exploded off of Long Island, NY.   

 

11.  Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston both turned down the role of Russell Tinsworthy which went to Sterling Hayden.

 

12.  A release on VHS for the same day as the film's theatrical release was originally planned. The video release was postponed three months, due to complaints from movie theater owners.

 

13.  Plans for a sequel were considered throughout the 1980s, but no storyline was ever settled upon.

 

14.  The movie spurred a reasonably successful sitcom television series "Nine to Five" which went for eighty-five episodes and aired between 1982 and 1988. The first three seasons were broadcast on ABC between spring 1982 and fall 1983, whilst the second and final season aired in syndication between 1986 and 1988. Dolly Parton's younger sister Rachel Dennison played Parton's role Doralee Rhodes in the series.   

 



15.  A $150 ticket charity retro premiere of this movie was held in 2003 to benefit the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (GCAPP) which was founded by the film's top-billed star Jane Fonda. When asked which was their favorite scene from the movie, the film's three female stars agreed that it was tying horrible boss Dabney Coleman up in the SM-like rig.

 

16.  In 2009 a musical version of "9 to 5" opened on Broadway on Friday, April 30th 2009. The opening cast included Allison Janney, Stephanie J. Block, Megan Hilty, and Marc Kudisch. "9 to 5: The Musical" closed on Sunday, September 6th, 2009, after 148 performances and 24 previews.

 

And now you know.

 

It could be speculated that since "Nine to Five" catered to what women were thinking or fantasizing in the workplace, it might have been some sort of inspiration to "Office Space" which came out 19 years later.  Hey, men have employee/boss issues, too!

 

Here are some picture stills from "Nine to Five" for your enjoyment...

 

 

 

Doralee:  So, you've been tellin' everybody I've been sleepin' with ya, huh? Well that explains it! That's why these people treat me like some dime-store floozy. They think I'm screwin' the boss! Oooh, and you just love it, don't you? It gives you some sort of cheap thrill like knockin' over pencils and pickin' up papers! Get your scummy hands offa me! Look I've been straight with you since the first day I got here, and I've put up with all of your pinchin' and starin' and chasin' me around the desk because I need this job. But this is the last straw! Look, I've got a gun out there in my purse. Up until now I've been forgivin' and forgettin' because of the way I was brought up, but I'll tell you one thing. If you ever say another word about me or make another indecent proposal, I'm gonna get that gun of mine, and I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot! And don't think I can't do it!

Spaceballs (1987)

Planet Spaceball is running out of air!  Its ruler, President Skroob, sends the powerful Lord Dark Helmet to steal the abundant air supply from Planet Druidia during the wedding of King Roland's daughter, Princess Vespa, to Prince Valium.  What, oh, what can be done?!?  Easy!  One must send noneother than space rogue, Lone Starr, and his sidekick Barf to the rescue!

"Spaceballs" made its premiere on June 24, 1987 to movie audiences all over America and ended up being a sensational comedic hit for director, Mel Brooks.  Did it win any awards?  No.  Was it even nominated?  Of course not.  But so what?  It was Mel Brooks!  This man gave the world hilarious and entertaining hits such as "The Producers" (for which he won an Oscar), "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein.," and "Silent Movie."  When Hollywood knew Mel was directing a film or writing a script for one or both, they knew they were in for something that was of comedic genius or of a silly story that only a fan could enjoy.  "Spaceballs," one of only three films Mel did in the 80s, was definitely a 96-minute thrill ride of nothing but laughs.

It's not just the script that makes "Spaceballs" a funny hit the millions have watched over and over again, but it's the costumes and the names of the characters as well.  This film starred a plethora of talent including (of course) Mel Brooks (playing both President Skroob and Yogurt), Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet), Bill Pullman (Lone Starr), John Candy (Barf), Daphne Zuniga (Princess Vespa), and Joan Rivers (Dot Matrix; voice only).  Co-stars included Dick Van Patten (King Roland), Jim J. Bullock (Prince Valium), and a cameos by John Hurt (himself), Dom DeLuise (Pizza the Hut; voice only), and Michael York (Ape #1; uncredited).

Grossing over $38 million in just the U.S. alone, here are some other bits of behind-the-scenes info coming at ya at ludricous speed...

1.  It took Mel Brooks six months to write the script.  Brooks came up with the idea for this film when he discovered he had yet to spoof space movies, since he already destroyed the western films with "Blazing Saddles," made fun of the horror genre with "Young Frankenstein," and gave silent movies the ax with "Silent Movie."

2.  Mel Brooks sent the script to George Lucas and was concerned that he would be offended, but Lucas called Brooks and gave him his trust after seeing "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein."

3.  President Skroob's name is an anagram of Mel Brooks who plays him.

4.  The castle on Druidia is King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. It has been modified by matte painting with additional ramps. Neuschwanstein Castle has been featured in many motion pictures, and is the original inspiration for the castle at Disneyland.

5.  John Candy ad-libbed the line, "Oh, that's gonna leave a mark," after standing up without undoing his seat belt. 

6.  The Barf costume was operated by three people. John Candy operated Barf's tail using a hidden control in his paw, while two assistants each controlled an ear. Candy's costume was powered by a 30-pound battery that he wore on his back.  A full face mask resembling a wrinkled bulldog was originally constructed for the character of Barf, but Mel Brooks quipped that 'if they were going to hide John Candy behind a mask, he might as well hire someone else for half the price'. A nose and upper lip piece was tried next, which Candy approved but again Brooks did not. They finally settled on animatronic ears connected to a hairpiece, a small nose application and a patch over one eye just like the dog from the 'Our Gang' shorts.

7.  Princess Vespa's name is a joke in-and-of itself: Vespa is the Italian word for a wasp. In North American slang, the term WASP can connote a white vainglorious person of high breeding.

8.  The name Dot Matrix was taken from a type of computer printer which was very popular with personal computers in the 70s and 80s prior to the invention of Ink-Jet and Laser printers.   

9.  Six complete Dot Matrix suits were built for Lorene Yarnell Jansson to wear and all of them were used up due to breakage on set. For the interior scenes, the feet were outfitted with roller skates, but for the desert exteriors she was given flat-bottomed shoes. Dot's face was somewhat inspired by Joan Rivers who had already been contracted to provide the voice.

10.  Every time Dark Helmet has his face covered, his voice is lower and more basal, similar to James Earl Jones when he played Darth Vader. In the DVD commentary, Mel Brooks says that the idea of Dark Helmet's voice changing whenever his face was covered was actually Rick Moranis's idea.

11.  In the DVD Commentary, Mel Brooks talks about the various Jewish-related jokes (i.e. "Druish Princess", etc.) and how he felt ashamed for putting those jokes in the movie in the first place, but also felt proud for leaving them in the movie.

12.  During his scene, Michael Winslow did all the sound effects. In the commentary for the movie Mel Brooks jokes that they saved around a $1000 by letting him do this.

13.  In the scene where Dark Helmet is dressed in safari clothes searching for Lone Starr and the others with binoculars, he is on top of a floating vehicle. In reality, the vehicle isn't floating or suspended on wires of any kind, but on top of a platform that was surrounded by mirrors that reflected the sand around it to give it the appearance of floating.   

14.  The scene in which Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) is playing with his dolls was not in the script. Mel Brooks came up with the idea on the set one day, and told it to Moranis, who then improvised the entire scene, including the dialogue.   

15.  In one scene, Lone Starr says he was born "somewhere in the Ford Galaxy." This is a joke-reference to a model of car produced by the Ford company (the Ford Galaxie 500), as well as to Harrison Ford of "Star Wars."

16.  "Spaceballs" merchandise shown in the movie include: bed sheet, flame thrower, lunch box, cornflakes, towels, Yogurt figure, toilet paper, shaving cream, place mat, action figures. As part of the fair-use agreement between Mel Brooks and George Lucas, no legitimate Spaceballs merchandise ever existed in the real world. The lunch box and coloring book are simply The Transformers products with a "Spaceballs" logo stuck on them.   

17.  In the DVD commentary, Mel Brooks talks about how difficult it was playing the Yogurt character. The gold-colored makeup gave him a terrible rash on his face and neck (necessitating the shooting of all of Yogurt's scenes out of sequence), also his knees were hurting constantly since he had to walk around on his knees even though he was wearing kneepads. Brooks also goes on to say that in spite of the difficulties, he enjoyed playing the role as Yogurt tremendously and that it was all worth it.   

18.  During the self-destruct sequence, when the "Cancel Self Destruct" door is opened, the "Authorized By" line at the bottom has the name ALBIEZ. Peter Albiez was one of the special effects staff.

19.  The voice of the Self-Destruct Countdown is that of the film's script supervisor, Julie Pitkanen.

20.  The blasters used by the Spaceball stormtroopers are actually Calico M100 carbines with a scope attached.

21.  WILHELM SCREAM: When Barf holds up the curved tubes, deflecting the shots of four of the bad guys back at them, the fourth one screams what is called a "Wilhelm" as he is shot in the rear.   

22.  After King Roland gives the combination to the air shield of planet Druidia, and the light goes out and on again, the doctor is seen making out with the nurse. Dark Helmet then tells him to go the golf course and "work on his putts". This is a pun, as "putz" in Hebrew/Yiddish is slang for penis.

23.  The scene where the Megamaid sucks the atmosphere off the Druidian mountain is a parody of the Paramount Studios logo.

24.  One of the Dinks is played by Tony Cox, who also played an Ewok in "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi." The ape at the end (who says "There goes the planet!") is voiced by Michael York, who is the stepfather of Rick McCallum, producer of the "Star Wars" prequels.

25.  George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic constructed the puppet of the chest-burster for the film. The main effects unit for the film was Apogee, Inc. This was the company headed by John Dykstra that split off from ILM in 1978 when Lucasfilm moved to Marin County. Thus, Spaceballs marked the first time since "Star Wars" that the two units shared work on a single project.

26.  According to Mel Brooks, this is one of the most expensive movies he has ever made: $25 million, with "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" a close second at $22 million. By contrast, "The Producers" cost less than $1 million to produce.

27.  Of all the many jokes in this film, Mel Brooks says that the two he is most proud of are the running gag about merchandising ("Spaceballs: the Breakfast Cereal", "Spaceballs: The Tee-Shirt", etc.) and Col. Sandurz's renting "Spaceballs" before it was finished.

And now you know.

Vacation (1983)

The Quest: The Griswold family vacation.  The Destination: Walley World Theme Park.  The Problem: EVERYthing!  Especially when husband and father, Clark, gets distracted by a smokin'-hot blonde in a red Ferrari!  This cross-country vacation has gone too far!

On July 29, 1983, National Lampoon's "Vacation" made its premiere in the U.S. and won critical acclaim, eventually becoming the fourth most popular film for that year (under "Star Wars: Episode VI -- The Return of the Jedi," "Scarface," and "The Outsiders").

Directed by Harold Ramis and written for the screen by John Hughes (based on his own short story, "Vacation '58), "Vacation" stars Chevy Chase (Clark), Beverly D'Angelo (Ellen), Anthony Michael Hall (Rusty), Dana Barron (Audrey), and legendary Imogene Coca (Aunt Edna).  Co-stars consisted of Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie), Miriam Flynn (Cousine Catherine), Eugene Levy (car salesman), John Candy (Lasky, guard at Walley World), and also legendary Eddie Bracken (Roy Walley).

From getting lost in a high-crime part of a city at night to wandering around in a desert to having a picnic on a sunny day and opening up their packed lunches of which a dog already discovered, "Vacation" is full of laughs.  Budgeted an estimated $15 million and grossing in an approximate $61.4 million, this is worth every penny and is still a favorite of all ages around the world.

Here's some more behind-the-scenes info you might not have known about it...

1.  Based on the article "Vacation 58" by John Hughes, which appeared in the September 1979 issue of National Lampoon.   

2.  Imogene Coca originally turned down the part of Aunt Edna because she did not think she could portray such a mean character. Even during filming, she was often concerned that she was being (too) mean to her fellow cast members.  Imogene Coca and her long-time comic partner, Sid Caesar, played Mr. Ellis in "Vegas Vacation." Both of the characters die of old age in each film.

3.  According to director Harold Ramis he cast John Candy in the role of Laskey the Guard because he had enjoyed working with Candy on SCTV (aka SCTV, Canada's version of Saturday Night Live) and that he also loved Candy's "Paul Fistinyourface" character from the show. Ramis had Candy play the character as a sort of relative to Paul Fistinyourface. Also worth mentioning is that Eugene Levy (the car salesman) also worked with Candy and Ramis on SCTV.

4.  Daisy Mabel (Cousin Eddie's tongueless daughter) was played by director Harold Ramis' daughter, Violet Ramis.

5.  The "W" in Clark W. Griswold stands for Wilhelm.

6.  The opening scene at the Chicago car dealership was filmed at Star Ford in Glendale, California.  As of early 2009, the dealership is still there as well as the same buildings that were in the movie.

7.  The Star Ford car dealership in Glendale, California, the location scene where Clark purchases the Wagon Queen Family Truckster, is located two blocks north of Chevy Chase Drive.

8.  The Wagon Queen Family Truckster is actually a modified Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon.   

9.  The childhood pictures of Audrey on the living room wall were actual portfolio shots of Dana Barron when she was making commercials as a child actress.

10.  Exterior filming of the Griswolds "on the road" took the greater part of three months during production, crossing numerous states including California, Arizona, Colorado, Misouri and Illinois, which was filmed by a second unit. While most of the principal filming took place in California, the cast did travel on location for scenes set in Colorado, Utah and Arizona.   

11.  Director Harold Ramis said in the DVD commentary the scene where the Griswolds get off the wrong exit in St. Louis and get lost in the ghetto was one of the most politically incorrect sequences he ever shot and that it practically demonized everyone involved. He also admitted that he wasn't proud of shooting it the way it appears in the film and that he was not even sure if he would shoot that particular scene today, and if he did, he would shoot it or write it out in a different and more politically-correct way.

12.  The St. Louis inner city and the Dodge City main street were created and filmed on the Warner Brothers' studio back lot.   

13.  In the DVD commentary, Chevy Chase mentions that the scene in which Rusty puts his feet up on top of the driver's seat was originally not in the script, but the producers liked it, so it was kept in the movie.

14.  There were two scenes which were in the original script and shot but were cut from the final version of the film. One scene had the Kamp Komfort manager (Brian Doyle-Murray) dress up in a moose costume and sneak into Clark and Ellen's tent to scare them (which explains the "wildlife fun" the manager mentioned as they checked in). That scene was cut because it made the sequence run too long, so it was re-written to have Dinky sneak into the tent instead. The second scene originally written/filmed but cut was one featuring the two Indians (the same ones who see Clark wandering aimlessly through the desert and say "What an a**hole") as well as a camel rider who finds Ellen and the rest of the family and rescue them. That scene was cut because, according to director Harold Ramis, the camel had been raised in Burbank and had only ever walked on pavement, and the camel did not take to walking on hot sand very well. All the shots of the camel were unusable. Remnants of both cut scenes appear as photos during the ending credits photo montage.

15.  For the scene where Clark ties Dinky's leash to the rear bumper and forgets all about it before driving off, producer Matty Simmons, said that after the movie's release, he received numerous letters from people who had seen the movie and admitted that they had made the same grievous error with their pets as Clark did in the movie.   

16.  Apparently, it was originally scripted that after Aunt Edna was tied to the roof of the car, there was a shot of her fingers moving implying she was, in fact, still alive. This was considered "cruel" to have a live person on the roof of a car by the ratings board, so it was cut and she remained dead.   

17.  For the scene in Dodge City where Clark taunts the ornery bartender who ends up shooting him with a blank-loaded rifle, one of the prop guys ended up playing a practical joke on the cast members during one of the takes. During that particular take, after the bartender shoots at Clark, the prop guy tossed down a fake dummy from the second level of the set and the entire cast jumped in surprise afterward.   

18.  The scene where the station wagon goes airborne in the Arizona desert actually caused some production changes due to the hard nose-landing that wasn't expected. Among those were matching the exact front-end damage on other station wagons used in other scenes.

19.  In the DVD commentary, director Harold Ramis mentions that for the scene in which the Family Truckster jumps into the air, several of the crew members had made bets against 2nd unit director Dick Ziker that he couldn't jump the car more than 50 feet (even drawing lines in the sand to measure the distance). Ziker ended up winning that bet, as he jumped the car more than 50 feet.

20.  According to Harold Ramis, he was inspired to shoot wide-angle shots of Clark alone in the desert by the film "Quest for Fire."

21.  The script originally called for Disneyland as the Griswolds' destination, but Disney objected, pointing out that they are open 365 days a year.

22.  The character of Roy Walley was based on a combination of the brothers Roy Edward Disney and Walt Disney, right down to the thin mustache.   

23.  The original ending of the film consisted of the Griswold family, after seeing that Walley World is closed, going to the Hollywood house of Roy Walley (Eddie Bracken of both movie and TV fame since 1939), the owner of Walley World, and holding him and his family hostage and making them sing and dance Walley World theme songs before the police arrive to arrest all of them. This did not go over well with test audiences and the scenes in the park with John Candy were a last-minute alternate filmed over two weeks, four months after production ended. The original ending was deleted and is believed to be lost. Bracken nevertheless appeared as Roy Walley in both endings.

24.  The original ending in which the Griswolds hold Roy Walley and his family hostage in their home was re-created as part of the ending to "Christmas Vacation."   

25.  In the Walley World scenes near the end, Anthony Michael Hall is taller than Beverly D'Angelo; in previous scenes with her he was the same height as her. This was because Hall grew three inches after principal photography finished; the ending was re-shot four months afterward, because the original ending failed with test audiences.   

26.  All of the distant shots of Walley World, including the sign the family truckster drives under, were matte paintings.

27.  The theme park that served as Walley World was actually Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA. The roller coaster referred by Clark as the "Whipper Snapper" is actually called "The Revolution" and was the first roller coaster to have a 360-degree vertical loop.

28.  Harold Ramis has an uncredited role as an off-camera voice of one of the police officers at Walley World.

   
29.  The gas station and sporting goods store where Clark pulls into and purchases his BB gun were located at the intersection of Ocean Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica, CA. Both buildings have since been torn down and replaced by apartment high-rises.

30.  All the cast members had terrible experiences when it came to filming the scenes inside Walley World, where they rode all of the roller coasters and other rides. In the commentary, Chevy Chase mentions that many of the rides made him and the other cast members sick to their stomachs, especially since they all had to ride them several times for each take. Dana Barron mentioned in the commentary that the coasters made her so sick she had to take motion sickness pills and would pass out on nearby benches between takes. Finally, Anthony Michael Hall mentions that in the shots on the roller coaster where he looks scared, he wasn't acting--his fear in those shots was genuine.

31.  There was a Walley World Water Park in London, Ontario, Canada, which opened several years after the movie was released. John Candy was invited to the opening of the park but the park owners couldn't afford his appearance fee.

32.  This was the only "Vacation" movie to receive an "R" rating in the US by the MPAA. The "European Vacation" and "Christmas Vacation" sequels received "PG-13" ratings, while "Vegas Vacation" was rated "PG".

33.  Chevy Chase appears in some scenes wearing a black Chicago Bears ball cap. He wears the same Chicago Bears cap throughout all four Vacation movies.

And now you know.

But wait!... One more thing...

If you're a fan of the "Vacation" movies (which you probably somewhat are or else why read this blog?), you might be interested to know that there was yet another "Vacation" movie planned.  On April 24, 2013, “Vacation” plans were put on hold.  A reboot of the popular 1983 Chevy Chase comedy had been delayed indefinitely due to creative differences, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The new “Vacation,” which is set to star Ed Helms and Christina Applegate, was scheduled to start filming in July under the helm of writers and first-time directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. But New Line halted production because some parties wanted to make it a PG-13 movie and others felt it should be rated R (like the original). Sources tell the trade paper that the delay could last just a couple months or until the end of the year. The reboot focuses on Helms' character, Rusty, the son of Clark Griswold. Chase and his “Vacation” wife, Beverly D'Angelo, will make cameos in the new movie.  That is if it ever gets released.

And now you know even more.

Here are some pictures from the film you might enjoy...
