I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking it was just something I made up for years because I couldn’t imagine it being real

This movie was on loop on HBO in the early 90s. Good times.

This movie had a big impact on me as a kid. I absolutely loved this movie, same with Beetlejuice. This is definitely a classic.

This movie looks exactly what you think you'd get when you leave Aykroyd alone with a typewriter, a terrifyingly huge pile of cocaine, and no one around to stop him. I need to check it out

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid... it was crazy wierd and visually nauseating but so much fun to watch. It took real balls to make this... luckily Akroyd had a low hanging set.

Dan Aykroyd has acted in/ wrote some of the strangest comedies ever. His weird disposition makes his works shine. This, Dr. Detroit, Neighbors, Coneheads, My Stepmother's An Alien, etc..A unique talent. For lovers of the strange in comedy.

One thing people can't deny about this movie, it's not boring. If boring is the worst thing a movie can be, then this movie is most certainly not boring.

I love this movie. I was a freshman in high school when it came out on vhs; my girlfriend at the time’s parents owned a convenience store/movie rental place & their house was directly attached to it. So we could watch whatever the latest movie was. I remember watching this & both of us being like “what the hell did we just see?”

[BlazeHedgehog]

This was a movie I saw ONE TIME EVER when I was a kid and it disappeared from reality, to the point where it became one of those distant memories that felt more like a dream. Then it finally got reaired on cable in, like, 2009 and it blew my mind that it was actually a real movie.

[CrackingCody]

That moment that Chevy compliments Dan, and he looks so bashful is just a nice moment.

[masongoogleaccount]

Dude, this is Dan Aykroyd's masterpiece. He should have been allowed to make more films like this immediately after. It really doesn't deserve the hate it received.

[TheDancerMacabre]

Dan Akroyd needs to release a director's cut of "Valkynvania"

I want to see his original vision since apparently they gave him carte blanche and did whatever he wanted... Until it was released and then cut most of the gore.

my dad loved this movie. rest in peace, dad. miss you.

[musicbrush]

Definitely a childhood favorite. I remember loving the mansion the most out of this film growing up. I'm glad it's starting to shine again.

[OutpostResearch]

Watching this just makes me think of Alex Winters 'Freaked' (1993). Now THATS obscure comedy at its best

[Luschan]

Thinking of the families of Digital Underground members who were proudly taken to see this movie for their scene.

[davidcarothers]

I've been trying to remember this movie for 25 years. Couldn't remember names or actors. This clip just solved one of the most eluding mysteries of my entire life. Thank you!

[uscbigfan]

I apparently saw this as a kid and thought it was some bizarre nightmare until I found out later that it actually existed

[DiRF]

My favorite thing about John Candy's performance is his portrayal as a GOOD cop. Watch his behavior and attitude in both his stop of Chase and Baldwin. He conducts himself with professionalism and courtesy, but never lets his guard down. Also, his squad car is freaking badass.

[zwright]

This is without a doubt a love or hate movie. No in-between. The movie is all over the place and certainly has a special charm to it that I absolutely love.
