shareWell on the 25th Anniversary celebration of SNL David Spade came out to talk about Farley who had already died and he said "Chris and I made a really funny movie called Tommy Boy...and then we made another one called Black Sheep."
He was clearly saying he didn't think Black Sheep was very good.
The only reason why David Spade hated the movie is probably because he doesn't do his usual sarcastic act. "Black Sheep" made him do more than that, like when he does some slapstick scenes, but it seems that he would rather crack jokes about other people than have RANGE AS AN ACTOR.
shareare you insuating something with that last sentence?

hey person! answer my question!
Desperate times call for desperate desperateness.
David Spade is a POS.
shareYou guys are idiots. your basing it one what was said on SNL. Nothing on SNL can be takenseriously. It wasn't spades words....it was Scripted.
shareI don't have this with me to confirm, but I seem to remember that Spade addressed this in his Playboy interview (or maybe it was his Rolling Stone one). I remember he said that they made Black Sheep right after Tommy Boy, they didn't really want to do it, and they were burned out on each other. He also said that he bumped into Farley at a bar years later and Farley said, "No one gives a *beep* about Beverly Hills Ninja, they want to see us together again." He said they were thinking of doing a comedy version of the Hardy Boys, or just something that would have used their dynamic well.
And if I'm remembering the SNL 25th Anniv. special correctly, Spade did the tribute to Farley by himself, so I imagine they probably let him write it, too, though I could be wrong.
He also said that he bumped into Farley at a bar years later
This sentence alone makes me wonder at the veracity of the rest of it. There is NO WAY Spade could possibly have bumped into Farley years later. The poor man died the year after Black Sheep was made. Black Sheep (1996) Chris Farley (1964-1997)
I am saying that Spade doesn't really do a lot of his "snide comeback" routine much, which is probably why he hated the film. It seems that he want to build his career around that act. At least Chris Farley showed that he could handle some drama.
Weird is the new normal.
I think DavidSpade is hilarious, and his schtick is fantastic. I think he said that to degrade Black Sheep comedicaly, not because he didn't like it (but you never know, he may hate it) but because it was panned and made like no money. Much the same way Kevin Smith likes Mallrats but openly denounces it.
BTW, with the esception of Tommy Boy, I think Lost and found is Spade's best film...

Dude, what have you been smoking and where can I get some?
shareI thought he said we made Tommy Boy and then Tommy Boy 2 :Black sheep. I dont think he hated it it was just a watered down version of Tommy Boy and therefore not as good.
shareWell Spade should know this movie was damn hilarious and he was funny as hell in it. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. This is one of my favorite comedies of all time and I used to watch it so many times.
shareThis movie wasn't a bomb either. It made the same amount of money as Tommy Boy did and they were both modest hits. I think Black Sheep is just as funny as Tommy Boy.
shareThat SNL quote was really funny though. I never like Black Sheep much, apart from the "white mud" line. Tommy Boy on the other hand was something I grew up with. I must have watched it three times a day as a kid. Still makes me laugh.
shareIt seems that David Spade wasn't really that thrilled about this movie. Chris Farley wasn't thrilled with it either, in fact he only did it after David talked him into it. David and Fred Wolf talk about the movie in "The Chris Farley Show" book. David and Penelope Spheeris (the director) did not get along at all. Spheeris didn't get along with Fred Wolf either.
David said in reference to Spheeris directing "I believed up until that point, we would have had another Tommy Boy on our hands." It seems like there was just a lot of tension on that set between everybody. This was also the movie where David permanently damaged his eyes. He probably doesn't have very good memories of making this movie.

It wasn't really that Spade didn't get along with the director. It was that, unlike Tommy Boy, this director outranked them and didn't like Spade. Tommy Boy was a creative collaboration between comedians and director and Farley and Spade had more scenes together. Whereas Black Sheep took creative control away from the comics, so that the one person in charge was the Spade hating director. One day Spade is scheduled for shooting one of the scenes that didn't have Farley in it. So, he shows up for the shoot and the director flat out said "I'm not shooting this scene" Spade said "okay" and then she(the director) said "thats a wrap". Hell, she ripped 40 pages out of the script on day one. She had them in considerably less scenes together than in their previous movie because she didn't realize that the Farley/Spade comedic magic even existed, I guess. Later she even ripped on him in a book saying that he couldn't act. I think shooting it was a really *beep* experience for him

I am not really bothered that Spade or Farley didn't like the movie. It wasn't really all that funny to me, my favorite movies can be stupid as hell, but if their attempts to be funny are stupid, then that's where the line is drawn. So if anyone is bashing this movie, let them be! I don't know who loved it, maybe cracked out grunge rockers who were still grieving for Cobain at the time?
I will be fair, Black Sheep takes place in Washington where I'm at and captures the spirit and geography pretty well. There's a lot of progressive politics here in Seattle because of the Scandinavian and Norwegian heritages, which probably explains why in the movie, the Democrat is the "good guy" and the Republican is the evil bitch.
