Eurotrip (1 Viewer)

I've owned this movie on DVD for a year and haven't gotten around to watching it. :bag:

Maybe it'll be my Sunday night at the movies movie....

 
I love this movie.

It's been my "after the bar and friends come over and I need to put a movie in movie" for a year or so now.

and even better, the wife loves it too.

Great flick. I would totally take it on a desert island with me.

 
In 20 years, we'll be talking about this movie like we do with Animal House, Bull Durham, Caddyshack, Trading Places, etc. Classics that you have to catch at least part of every time you see they're on.

 
Usually I'd hit this type of thread with utter disdain because of it being so behind the times on such an obvious topic that we've discussed many, many times on this board...however...this movie is just THAT GOOD...that many honda's dedicated to it are never too many...

"Hello, and welcome to Amsterdam's finest and most luxurious youth hostel. We feature one medium sized room containing 70 beds which can sleep up to 375 bodies a night.

There is no bathroom. Nor is there one nearby. If you do not wish to have your valuables stolen I suggest destroying them or discarding them right now. You can also try hiding your valuables. In your a-nus. This will deter some but of course not all thieves.

Once you are inside, the doors are chained and locked from the outside. They will not be opened again until morning, no matter what. Should a fire occur due to our faulty wiring or, uh, the fireworks factory upstairs you will be incinerated along with the valuables that you have hidden in your a-nus. Tips are greatly appreciated.

This whole conversation is forever etched on my brain...I can never get over how funny that is...

My favorite line of the movie.

Welcome to Bratislava. It's good you came in Summer. In Winter, it can be very depressing.

Good movie, but this is simply crazy talk.
 
So I tell the swamp donkey to sack it before I give her a tonk in the tradesmans' entrance and have her lick me yarbles.

 
A few months ago I went to a 10-year anniversary screening of this in Hollywood. The three creators showed up, along with the four main leads. Also there were the green fairy, robot guy, bare-breasted Jacuzzi girl and band that did Scotty Doesn't Know. Kevin Smith hosted the Q&A following the screening. I was one of the few to see this in the theater when it first came out and immediately loved it. It's been amusing to see everyone catch up on it to the point that it's now a cult classic. There were some interesting tidbits to come from the anniversary showing.

* Believe it or not, the three creators -- Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg and David Mandel -- went to Harvard. They met on the Harvard Lampoon. That's how they got Matt Damon, they knew him from Harvard.

* Schaffer went on to create The League. He also was one of the writers on Bruno, and all three of them joined Baron Cohen for writing credit on The Dictator. All three worked on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Mandel was a writer for SNL (how they got Armisen).

* They came up with the premise for the movie as a potential idea for American Pie 2. When they didn't get that gig, they decided to make it on their own. Schaffer got the directing credit, even though they directed it jointly, and the plan was for them to switch off as directors on future works they made together. But Eurotrip was a dud at the box office and they weren't given the opportunity to make more movies.

* They hated the name Eurotrip, which was created by people at their DreamWorks studio. They wanted the movie to be called Ugly Americans. The studio people even explained to them that they were trying to ride on the success of Road Trip, and at one point there was an idea to try to get Tom Green to introduce a commercial for Eurotrip saying "these are my other friends."

* The Club Vandersexxx scene wasn't in the original script. Instead, Cooper sees a flier in Amsterdam for a sex club called The Secret Room. He goes looking for it and finds a long line. He asks someone in the back if they are waiting for The Secret Room and they say yes. He doesn't want to wait, so he goes around the back to see if he can find another way in. He manages to sneak in and enters a dark room, strips and waits for the ladies. The door opens and it's an old lady with a tour group. He grabs the nearest object to cover himself and it turns out to be a life-size doll of Anne Frank, which it now appears he is trying to take from behind. Wrong Secret Room. They got a note from DreamWorks indicating that Mr. Spielberg says this scene cannot be in the film, that he is on the board for the Anne Frank Museum.

* Most people probably know this, but I somehow never looked closely enough at the green fairy before to realize it was Bania from Seinfeld. He sat in the same row as me. At first, I recognized him from Seinfeld and wondered what he was doing there.

* The guy who plays the French robot played the dean's doppelganger in Community. He was born in Fresno. Arthur Frommer is Balon Greyjoy on Game of Thrones.

thanks for sharing, seriously.

 
One of my favorites ever. As others have said, extremely underrated.

That little German kid drawing the Hitler stache on himself and goose-stepping kills me every time.
