I just realized that my favorite funny movie of all time, "Animal House" (1978), was also produced by John Landis. "Kentucky Fried Movie" was also a close second, also done my John Landis. He must have been a "genius"!
And The Blues Brothers and An American Warewolf in London and Trading Places and Three Amigos!
In the 70's/80's he was a major force of great comedy, but then somehow, his career just colapsed
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glueshare
A little Trivia nugget.:
"On 23 July 1982, actor Vic Morrow, and juvenile Asian actors Renee Chen and My-ca Le were killed during an accident on set. SFX caused a helicopter to crash, killing all three instantly. Chen and Le were not officially part of the cast, and their parents had been paid in cash, because it is illegal for children to work at that hour (the crash was at about 2:30 am). A decade later, director 'John Landis' and four others were found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter."
Also, Mr Fall Out, Mr Landis career is going fine.:
