Which movie first started off outtakes besidres the end credits?

Question

i think its a good question and something a lot of people would be curious to know

Answer 1

Great question!! I'm not certain of the answer, but the first time I saw it was in an old Burt Reynolds movie..."Cannonball Run".

I found this about it in Wikipedia - so "Smokey and the Bandit" may very well have been the first one:

Many theatrical motion pictures feature bloopers during the end credits. For example, many Jackie Chan movies end with footage of failed stunts, blown dialogue, and other mishaps; Chan was inspired to do this by Burt Reynolds films of the early 1980s (in particular Smokey and the Bandit II and The Cannonball Run) that also featured end-credits bloopers. As an homage to its inspiration, the closing-credits blooper reel for Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy actually featured one outtake from Smokey and the Bandit II.

Pixar also has a tradition of including blooper-like material during the end credits of such films as Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life; A Bug's Life, in particular, was at one point reissued to theatres with a major selling feature being the addition of extra "bloopers". Since Pixar's films are computer-animated, however, these scenes are re-enacted with faked bloopers. The makers of another computer animated film, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, likewise also created a faux blooper reel showing the characters playing practical jokes and, in one case, bursting into laughter when one "sneezes" during a dramatic sequence.

Answer 2

Cannonball Run Outtakes

Answer 3

According to Wikipedia, Bucky C is right. 1978's Hooper is the first to include outtakes of its own film, followed by a serious of Needham/Reynolds films - Cannonball 1 and 2, Smokey and the Bandit, and Stroker Ace.
Apparently bloopers in general became popularized in America in the 50's, but back then it was shows displaying bloopers from other tv shows, films, and even music. The concept made it to Britain in the late 70's with similar shows.
It seems that Needham was the first director who thought it would be funny to include his own mistakes and we are so glad he did! My friends and family still quote "These bleebs?" from Cannonball Run's outtakes, among others.

Answer 4

My crystal ball of movie trivia says the first main stream US movie to do just that was "Smokey and the Bandit" in 1977. Cannonball Run wasn't released until several years later, 1981.

FYI- Jackie Chan was in CB Run II and also featured in the blooper reel. All US Made Jackie Chan movies since have adopted the same practice.

Answer 5

It was a Burt Reynolds film but not sure if it Smokie & the Bandit or Cannon Ball I was to busy snogging the face off my bf, in the back seats of the cinema!!! I was only about 12 yrs old though

Answer 6

I never saw smokey and the bandit or cannonball run, but the first movie I can remember is "Ferris Beuller's day off" where matthew broderick is taking a shower after the credits roll and he tells the viewers to go home the movie is over.

Answer 7

The first answer is correct it was Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds and Sally Field.!!!

Answer 8

I think Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds was the first

Answer 9

smokey and the bandit did this but dont know if they were first. I personally like the outtakes and it would be good if all films did them.

Answer 10

Its something Hal Needham likes to do...he directed several of the Burt Reynolds movies. I think Hooper was actually the first one.....
