1941 (5/11) Movie CLIP - Lost (1979) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lost in flight, Kelso (John Belushi) drinks a Coke and goes into a barrel roll... or two.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
It's December of 1941, and the people of California are in varying states of unease, ranging from a sincere desire to defend the country to virtual blind panic in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Thus begin several story threads that comprise the "plot" of this strange period comedy, a sort of satirical disaster movie, from Steven Spielberg. The stories and story threads involve lusty young men, officers (Tim Matheson) and civilians (Bobby Di Cicco) alike, eager to bed the young ladies of their dreams; Wild Bill Kelso, a nutty fighter pilot (John Belushi) following what he thinks is a squadron of Japanese fighters along the California coast; a well-meaning but clumsy tank crew (including John Candy) led by straight-arrow, by-the-book Sgt. Tree (Dan Aykroyd), who doesn't recognize the thug (Treat Williams) in his command; and homeowner Ward Douglas (Ned Beatty), who is eager to do his part for the nation's defense and, despite the misgivings of his wife (Lorraine Gary), doesn't mind his front yard overlooking the ocean being chosen to house a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun. There is also a pair of grotesquely inept airplane spotters (Murray Hamilton, Eddie Deezen) who are doing their job from atop a ferris wheel at a beachfront amusement park; a paranoid army colonel (Warren Oates) positive that the Japanese are infiltrating from the hills; a big dance being held on behalf of servicemen, being attended by a lusty young woman of size (Wendie Jo Sperber) eager to land a man in uniform; and General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stillwell (Robert Stack), in charge of the defense of the West Coast, who can't seem to get anyone to listen to him when he says to keep calm. And, oh yes, there's also a real Japanese submarine that has gotten all the way to the California coast under the command of its captain (Toshiro Mifune) and a German officer observer (Christopher Lee), only to find itself without a working compass or usable maps. Its captain won't leave until the sub has attacked a militarily significant, honorable target, and the only one that anyone aboard ship knows of in California is Hollywood. By New Year's Eve, all of these characters are going to cross paths, directly or once-removed, in a comedy of errors and destruction strongly reminiscent of the finale to National Lampoon's Animal House (as well as several disaster movies from the same studio), but on a much larger and more impressive scale.

Even though Steve Spielberg claimed he would be disowning this movie for the rest of his life, I have to say this is one of my most favorite movies of all time.

[PJVids]

John Belushi is a legend in this film.

[enielsenvideos]

The sound on that engine is the best when it kicks in climbing the mountain.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

It would have been so awesome if Belushi had lived and Spielberg brought him back to play this character in an Indiana Jones movie.

[maxfrankow]

00:19 Every pilot on their first solo cross country!

[uio]

There is nobody else that could have played this role and nailed it.

[exhorderhd]

Probably the most underrated Spielberg movie. This scene sums up why I love this flick, for two main reasons:

1) The flying scenes and sounds are a-ma-zing. The sound of that V12, and the shark-nosed P-40 was what started my lifelong passion for aviation.

2) John Belushi was certifiably insane :D

[hogslammin]

I love it when he says “I’m lost”….He’s only flying over the biggest damn hole on the planet.!! The Grand Canyon!!!🤣🤣🤣

[ignatiusgrippa]

Oh man this movie is tons of fun! It's great to see other fans out there. It's the perfect antidote to a lousy day. I'd love to see it on the big screen someday.

[Knaeben]

My god what a treasure we lost in Belushi

[toughenupfluffy]

I love this movie—it's one of my all-time favorite comedies!

[mikebennet]

The cigar emerging from his mouth and the ball scratching is genius.

[nascar]

No matter what happened, he never let go of that cigar.

[ezequielramos]

Regardless of what critics and people say, This is (and always will be) one of my all-time favorite Spielberg's movies!!

[TheNeilBernardShow]

I'm so glad this movie is made! John Belushi flying around like a crazy man it's hilarious! I know I got a lot of criticism in the seventies but after finally seeing it, I can tell if this movie was years ahead of its time and it immortalized John Belushi and John Candy on film forever. Steven Spielberg John Williams John Milius Robert Zemeckis Bob Gale John Belushi Dan Aykroyd John Candy everybody else What a great film!

[brettlloyd]

P40s were like the american hawker hurricane, underated

[Stevesautopartsify]

Very hard to believe Spielberg directed this.... Having said that I've seen it over a 100x!

[rossdiamondthief]

I’m sorry, I kinda have a soft spot for this movie.

[bps]

"It's going... and going... and going... and going..."

[GoldenStateThrowers]

Absolute comedic talent! Belushi was an American treasure! Great underated cult classic.
