Caddyshack. Caddyshack is a 1980 American sports comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, written by Brian Doyle-Murray, Ramis, and Douglas Kenney, and starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O'Keefe, and Bill Murray. Doyle-Murray also has a supporting role.
Caddyshack was Ramis's directorial debut and boosted the career of Dangerfield, who was previously known mostly for his stand-up comedy. Grossing nearly $40 million at the domestic box office (the 17th-highest of the year ), it was the first of a series of similar comedies.
Czervik again doubles the wager based on Danny making the putt. Danny's putt leaves the ball hanging over the edge of the hole. At that moment, in his latest attempt to kill the gopher, Carl detonates plastic explosives that he has rigged around the golf course.
Soundtrack. Main article: Caddyshack (soundtrack) In anticipation of the movie, the Kenny Loggins single "I'm Alright" was released nearly three weeks before the movie opened and became a top ten hit the last week of September 1980. CBS Records also issued a soundtrack to Caddyshack later that year.
The film was inspired by writer and co-star Brian Doyle-Murray's memories of working as a caddie at Indian Hill Club in Winnetka, Illinois. His brothers Bill and John Murray (production assistant and a caddy extra) and director Harold Ramis also had worked as caddies when they were teenagers.
He attempts to kill it with a rifle and high-pressure hose but fails. Al Czervik ( Rodney Dangerfield ), a loud and free-spirited nouveau riche golfer, begins attending the club. Czervik distracts Smails as he tees off, causing his shot to go badly. Later, frustrated by slow play, Czervik wagers with Smails.
Caddyshack opened on July 25, 1980, and would go on to gross roughly $40 million against a $6 million budget. As the film enjoys its 40th anniversary, here are ten behind-the-scenes facts about the making of Caddyshack.
For one, Bill Murray's iconic "Cinderella Story" improvisational diatribe lasted roughly 30 minutes alone. When Orion Pictures saw the overlong cut, they implored editor William C. Carruth to reshape the movie around the comedic performances of Murray, Chase, and Dangerfield.
Bill Murray's role as Carl Spackler was filmed in just six days. When Ramis realized the two biggest stars in the film (Murray and Chase) did not share a scene together, he, Kenny, Murray, and Chase met for lunch to write the now-infamous showdown between Carl Spackler and Ty Webb.
According to Chris Nashawaty's book Caddyshack, the first scene Dangerfield filmed was Czervik's arrival in the pro golf shop. Ramis called "Action!". three times, all of which resulted in Dangerfield remaining still. Finally, instead of yelling "Action!". Ramis said, "OK Rodney, now do your bit.".
Against writer Doug Kenny's wishes, the Gopher was added to give the plot a more consistent throughline. A mechanical Gopher puppet was created by Jeff Burke for a cost of $5,000. The scenes involving the Gopher were filmed on a sound-stage and done well after principal photography was completed.
3 The Baby Rut Scene Was Inspired By The Writer's High School Days. As per most of the events seen in the film, the infamous Baby Ruth scene was directly inspired by an incident that writer Brian Doyle-Murray witnessed in high-school.
6 The 18th Hole Explosion Was Mistaken For An Airplane Crash. While filming Caddyshack near the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport in Florida, the production was constantly interrupted by low-flying airplanes. In one instance, a pyrotechnic stunt forced a commercial airline to report a crash to Air Traffic Control.
