When was strange brew made

When Bob and Doug McKenzie attempt to scam free beer from Elsinore brewery they're given jobs at the plant, and are used as pawns in the power struggle for control of the company between Pam Elsinore and her usurping uncle. Moranis and Thomas give great performances as Bob and Doug McKenzie, and make for a hysterical and charismatic duo. Additionally, the comedy is especial well-written; featuring some clever sketches that are full of laughs.

Incredibly funny, Strange Brew is a beauty comedy, eh. Dann M Super Reviewer. Nov 20, Follow the idiot McKenzie brothers on this incredibly dumb journey, this is a stupid Canadian comedy masterpiece, hoser! Graham J Super Reviewer.

May 11, A memorable Hamlet adaptation. Great and silly. Lucas M Super Reviewer. Sep 06, I love Moranis, but I'm not a big fan of Thomas. Most of the time this movie was fun and really hilarious, but there are some stupid jokes thrown in that I didn't like, and it disappointed me because I really wanted to like this movie.

Overall, though, it's enjoyable enough, but it could be better. Aj V Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. Best Horror Movies.

Instead of hashing it out with Fields, von Sydow ran it by his son, who was a huge SCTV fan and encouraged his father to take the role.

That's a lot of beer money. Moranis eventually took a hiatus from acting in the late s, but emerged when Bob and Doug returned in a Molson beer ad campaign around the same time. The success of the campaign prompted Moranis and Thomas to write a script with SCTV writer Paul Flaherty in , and the sequel received funding from comic book writer and entrepreneur Todd McFarlane before being fast-tracked to pre-production.

Moranis agreed to come out of semi-retirement to reprise his role, but the funding for the movie fell through, causing Home Brew to stall completely. Something funny is brewing at Elsinore Castle Did you know Edit. But Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas thought actually enlisting him would be impossible.

So he sent the esteemed actor the script. Instead of hashing it out with Fields, von Sydow ran it by his son, who was a huge Second City TV fan and encouraged his father to take the role. Goofs At the end of the court room scene, the picture behind the judge, which was obviously supposed to fall off the wall as he bangs his gavel, falls a couple of seconds too early.

Quotes Bob MacKenzie : [to Pam in a beer tank that's being flooded with beer] My brother and I used to say that drownin' in beer was like heaven, eh? Crazy credits In the original theatrical release, instead of the usual roaring lion in MGM's studio logo, the lion is drunk and belches. Then the camera pans to the side to reveal that the McKenzie Brothers the main characters in this movie are playing with the lion's tail.

User reviews Review. Top review. One of the best comedies out there! I love this movie so much, I even have a poster of it hanging on my door, eh! I first viewed it in my eighth grade geometry class where we never did anything but watch movies--this class also introduced me to classics such as "Back to the Future" and "Little Shop of Horrors".

This is from the peak of the so-stupid-it's-funny era of comedy which is starting to become popular again, only this time around it's just not funny , and it may very well be the best of them all, even better than "Airplane!

It's one of those beautiful comedies where all the jokes are incredibly stupid and incredibly smart at the same time. Streaming options powered by JustWatch.
