City Slickers (9/11) Movie CLIP - Curly Passes On (1991) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Just when Mitch (Billy Crystal) was getting to know Curly (Jack Palance) better, he passes away, leaving the group to give him an impromptu memorial.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
City Slickers blends sight gags, one-liners, and sincerity, with both humor and drama arising from the characters and their situations. Mitch (Billy Crystal) is a radio station sales executive who finds himself in the throes of a mid-life crisis; accompanied by two friends, Phil (Daniel Stern) and Ed (Bruno Kirby) in the grip of similar problems, he heads to New Mexico for his birthday to participate in a two-week "vacation" cattle drive to Colorado. The three friends and the rest of their group, including an attractive, newly single young woman and two African-American dentists, are all urbanites lost when it comes to herding cattle and surviving on the prairie; it's up to authentic, almost mythic cowboy Curly (Jack Palance, who won an Oscar for the role), to whip them into shape. As various adventures occur along the way, including run-ins with outlaw cattlehands, treacherous natural mishaps, and Mitch's delivery of a newborn calf, the three "city slickers" open up to each other, learn to appreciate Curly's Old West values, and begin to resolve their midlife dilemmas. When Curly dies, it's left to Mitch, Phil, and Ed to bring in the herd.

I think that when Curly died he passed the torch to Mitch(Billy Crystal). He was impressed by Mitch standing up to him earlier in the movie and probably knew his time was at hand, so he felt like it was time to pass on some wisdom to someone who needed it and would appreciate it. Loving God, life, and helping others-THAT'S the secret to life.

One of the greatest movies of my childhood “Lord, we give ya Curly, try not to piss him off.”

[ShowBizBlueprint]

"The man ate bacon at every meal...ya, ya... ya can't do that!" Best line of the whole movie.

[vb]

One of my earliest sad movie moments. My sister used to love this movie as kids. I didn't remember it as a comedy

[Matthew_Evangelista]

"What more can we say about Skyrocket and Buttercup?"
"Don't say anything!"
😅😅

[tonyclifton]

[triplez]

[roberthayes]

"You're a warm man Cookie" ..lol

The man eat bacon with every meal You can't do that !!! :)

[dianalee]

The man ate bacon at every meal, you can’t do that!

[hod]

I’ve started to eat bacon at every meal. I think my life has improved... although it will be shortened.

0:30-52 How is Curly's body able to sit up when he's dead like he's freeze dried?

[artnewman]

What else is there I got chicken burning

[The_Comedian]

I watched this when I was 5 and I cried when Curly died.

[mcgannahanskyjellyfetti]

Wasn't this the SAME quote that was said at Curly Howard's funeral? 1:34 🤔

[joondagoon]

Lol I fell asleep with my eyes open yesterday I swear

[dabunnyrabbit]

the one thing I thought, when I saw this part was...
"how the hell was he dead and still sitting

[francisclause]

If only we could of got Jack Palance and Burgess Meredith together, we could of had a bacon festival!!!!

[ThendFirst]

"What else is there? I got chicken burning." Other people have different priorities than you. Not everything works out the way YOU think it should go. Sorry that Curley is gone, but cookie has a dinner to serve. One less portion.

Does anyone remember news stories about Jack Palance dying (not on-set) whilst this (or possibly City Slickers II in which he played Duke, bro. of Curly who he played in the first film) was being made and how his character's story was tailored to fit that (in order to keep him in the film)? I know Jack Palance's date-of-death is recorded as 2006 which is beyond dates of either City Slickers film but I recall this odd story and can't get to the bottom of it.
