About this product

Product Information

Steven Spielberg's 1941 is a big-budget zany comedy detailing the hilarious panic that gripped Los Angeles after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Army General Joseph Stilwell (Robert Stack) is in charge of protecting the Californian coastline in the weeks following Pearl Harbor. Dan Aykroyd and John Candy are members of a tank crew responsible for setting up a cannon in Ned Beatty's backyard. As explosions burst forth and air-raid sirens scream, John Belushi, Tim Matheson, and Treat Williams are part of the army corp reacting to the news of war with a somewhat energetic craziness. They dance at the USO, compete with each other to get the prettiest girls, and watch as Hollywood Boulevard becomes a pile of ruins. The film features cameos by many Spielberg friends and associates, including directors Sam Fuller and John Landis and actors James Caan, Mickey Rourke, Penny Marshall, and Susan Backlinie, reprising her famous skinny-dip from the first scene in JAWS. Michael McKean and David Lander, otherwise known as Lenny and Squiggy from LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY, play Willie and Joe--a hat's-off salute to Bill Maudlin's famous World War II cartoon characters. The film suffered from critical venom upon its initial release but has since become a cult fave.

  • One of the funniest movies ever

    Even though the Critics did not like it, 1941 was one of the funniest movies ever made. The case was top notch with John Belushi, Dan Ankroyd, Robert Stack, Slim Pickens and many many others. One of the funniest scenes was at the start where the skinny dipper swims out recreating the opening scene from Jaws, but with a hilarious outcome. The same actress from Jaws was also in this scene. This DVD has a ton of special features along with a feature length Making Of biography. This DVD also has the Directors Cut with over 20 minutes that never appeared in the Theatrical Release.

  • Happy with DVD of 1941

    One of my all time favorites and now it has a lot of footage that was not in the theatrical release or on VHS format, which I had for over ten years. DVD is my thing now and this one is great! Nothing more I can say except that I am happy with it and the efforts to get it to me. Bravo!

  • Americana comedia!

    Its as funny and endearing as you remember and if you are over 50, all the more rich with "they way we were". If you are under 50, its a good stereotype of "those times" people talk about and yes? Pretty accurate? Enjoy! Laughs don't stop.
