_In November 1991, it was announced 20th Century Fox had a feature film adaptation of Mr. Bean in development. They remade two Mr. Bean sketches into short films: Mr. Bean Takes an Exam and Mr. Bean Goes to a Première and attached them to their theatrical releases_

I just came from the remade version of the Exam... these remade versions of the classic Mr Bean skits is kinda blowing my mind all these decades later

American audiences wouldn’t even understand this without knowing about the tradition of the Royal Variety Show.

Ok, now after 32 years, I have discovered that there were American filmed versions of Mr. Bean TV Series, which were broadcasted as short films. Just watched the other version of "Mr. Bean takes an Exam". Though these are filmed in movie prints, without the laugh tracks, these don't seem much Mr. Beanish.

I remember seeing this in the theater over 30 years ago and always noticing the home alone and edward Scissorhands posters in the back

I love that the posters behind Bean are all Fox films, in a Fox distributed short film. Very subtle...

Differences
1. In the original version, Bean was never escorted by a guard beside Robin and Matilda.
2. The hanger scene is taken from the episode "The return of Mr Bean".
3. The scene where he uses a card as handkerchief is cut.

The way he hung that coat hanger on that guy's back collar is hilarious
The ending theme with trumpet and drum is amazing

[Vuusteri]

Thanks for this rare version. Nice they kept the same actors. Can't really decide what version is better. That coat hanger joke was a nice addition, but then they skipped the joke I always liked.

Love how they kept the original actors for the manager & usherette.

[ramen_noodles]

This is a recreation of one of his skits from his tv show. Didn't know there was a different version.

I don't think I've ever seen this version of Mr. Bean. I didn't know they made this one where Mr. Bean goes to visit the Queen. This is awesome I love Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson is an absolute legend.

Love the subtle differences in this version after watching the original all these years. The extra sound effects of the flossing etc were cool.
Interesting to watch Bean without a laugh track. :)

[Vhas]

This should be a million likes and a thousand million of views

2:54 a home alone poster appears in the background even though it was released in 1990

[SuperCityscan]

Funny that I didn't even realise that this didn't have laugh tracks. It just works without that.

[peterpiper]

I find the main difference between the better known version and this one ( apart from the pocket handkerchief and him turning around and screaming after flossing) is in this version, they seem to be rushing through it. The timing, which I think contributes a lot to Mr.Bean's humour, seems to be missing.

1:38 The home alone poster in the background 😂😂

[terrencecarbon]

The way he just walks off after knocking out the queen 😂😂😂

This version is also very fun.. I don't get it why people are so negative about it.. It has higher quality.. the jokes are genuine.. may be for some higher quality isn't always better.. but I am glad to see an alternative version of mr. Bean and I love both versions
