There's something fishy going on at the elitist Bushwood Country Club, and the scheming president of the clubhouse, Judge Elihu Smails, has something to do with it. But, the suave golf guru, Ty Webb, and the distasteful, filthy rich construction magnate, Al Czervik, are onto him. In the meantime, the young caddie, Danny Noonan, struggles to get his life back on track, and the only way to do it is by winning the demanding Caddie Day golf tournament; a prestigious competition that can earn him a scholarship from the judge himself.
Now, war breaks out, and all bets are off. Will Danny ever make his dream come true? Does he know that a subterranean menace is threatening to put in jeopardy everyone's plans?
At last, a comedy that bites! Did you know Edit. Trivia A big hill was built from scratch for the climactic 18th-hole scene, because the country club did not want its course blown up. The pyrotechnic people used too many explosives, which completely destroyed the hill and caused planes flying by to report the explosion, as if a plane had crashed there. Goofs While Danny making that last putt effectively tied the game, meaning neither team lost nor won, Al's last-second bet of "Double or nothing he makes it" essentially negates the original bet and creates a new one.
Since Judge Smails agrees to this new wager before Danny makes the putt, Smails loses the final bet and has to pay up. Quotes Carl Spackler : What an incredible Cinderella story. Crazy credits Mr. Gopher - Chuck Rodent. Alternate versions The candy bar scene was replaced with Ty getting on Carl's big lawnmower, which wasn't shown in the theatrical version.
User reviews Review. Top review. One of the only early 80s comedies to stand the test of time. Yes, this one does hold up, perhaps because the action centers on the almost surreal for a comedy subject of golf, a topic that had not perhaps been so successfully spoofed since Eddie Cantor starred in "Kid Boots" am I getting that one right?
In the comedy contest between Murray, Chase, and Dangerfield, let me just say that Chase does not win. Dangerfield is at his best, delivering his classic lines "this meat's so tough you can see where the jockey was riding it" with ultimate panache and actually playing his crazy character reminiscent of Peter Sellars in "The Party" to the hilt.
Murray is really the show-stopper, though, muttering his lines to give them emphasis? A lot of the jokes fall flat, but when this movie is on, it's so on, that you can't help but call it a classic. Details Edit. Historically, Wilcoxon is best known for his collaborations with legendary director Cecil B. In his Caddyshack scene, Wilcoxon is struck by lightning after shouting "Rat farts!
Wilcoxon appears in that film as well, playing Pentaur. Caddyshack wasn't the only time the writer infused his projects with Zen; he tried to make a few movies about the topic.
He also tried to produce a film adaptation of the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance before his accidental death in , just a month after Caddyshack hit theaters. But viewing the dailies after a few days of shooting, Ramis realized that the scenes featuring the golfers were too essential to let go.
This forced Ramis and his co-screenwriters to reconfigure the narrative focus of the coming-of-age story about Danny into a broader comedic view of the country club itself, based around the hilarious vignettes involving Murray, Dangerfield, and Chase. Ramis would now conduct Caddyshack as if it were a Marx Brothers film. The original script for Caddyshack did not include a scene where Carl Spackler and Ty Webb meet, so the studio sent Ramis a note requesting that he take advantage of the talent and come up with a funny scene for Murray and Chase.
Some on the set were skeptical of the outcome, thanks to some bad blood between the two after Murray replaced Chase on SNL. Like much of the comedic bits from the film, the scene was ultimately improvised by the SNL alums and was shot without incident. Murray would later talk about a fight that broke out between the two when Chase returned to co-host SNL while Murray was still on the cast, saying "It was kind of a non-event. It was just the significance of it.
It was an Oedipal thing, a rupture. When shooting concluded in September , Ramis and editor William Carruth had a lot of footage to work with. With so much plot and so many jokes, their first rough cut of the film ran 4. They had already decided to abandon Danny as the main focal point in favor of the comedic heavyweights in Murray, Dangerfield, Chase, and Knight.
Still, the filmmakers felt that they needed something to package the film and make the story more coherent. Executive producer Jon Peters suggested, on a whim, that they increase the role of the gopher, turning it into the narrative through-line that tied the film's bits together.
The only problem? Ramis looked into bringing in a live, trained gopher to act out the scenes, but Peters weasled some extra money out of the studio and tasked special effects supervisor John Dykstra an Oscar-winning FX master who had worked on on Star Wars to create a believable gopher puppet. This explains why Murray and the dancing rodent never appear together onscreen—the scenes in the gopher holes were shot by Dykstra after principal photography had concluded, and were cleverly stitched in to make the scenes appear seamless.
The sound effects used for the gopher were the same sounds used for the dolphin in the s TV series Flipper. Crane, you're a little monkey woman you know that? You're a little monkey woman You're lean and you're mean and you're not too far between either I bet, are ya? Would you like to wrap your spikes around my head?
Carl Spackler : I have to laugh, because I've outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days. This is a cross of bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, featherbed bench and northern California sinsemilla.
The amazing stuff about this is that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejesus belt that night on this stuff. I got pounds of this stuff. Ty Webb : No, thank you. I don't, I don't, eh Carl Spackler : Say, let's have a little bit of this. I made a big Bob Marley joint.

Who's the gopher's ally. His friends. The harmless squirrel and the friendly rabbit. Carl Spackler : [Prepping a hose to drown the gopher] Great big gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts! How 'bout a nice cool drink, varmints? You're a disgrace and you're varmints. You're the lowest members of the food chain and you'll probably be replaced by the rat. Carl Spackler : Well, I have been pushed I think it's about time somebody teach these varmints a little lesson about morality and what's like to be a decent, upstanding member of a SOCIETY!
Fumbles around in the hole, gives the gopher the finger, it bites him]. Carl Spackler : [Grabbing the hose] Ok, I guess were playin' for keeps now! I guess the kidding around is pretty much over!
