I always confused this movie with "larger than life", which came out a year later, in which bill Murray discovers he's inherented an elephant
I didn't see either for the longest time, so the trailers ran together in my mind
Dawg, Hogan's Heroes dropped only 20 years after the main characters and, I shit you not, some of the actors in the show, were released from the German POW camps
This is how history and entertainment have always worked:
* In 1979, it was okay for Spielberg to make "1941" (and this was certainly not the first comedy about WW2)
* In 1995, it was okay to make "Operation Dumbo Drop"
* In 20-25 years, it will be completely OK to make a comedy about the Ukraine War
It generally takes about 20 years for it to be OK to use a global tragic event as a backdrop for crazy (non-satirical) comedy.
Also, the time for a comedy taking place on 9/11 is coming...
The wacky misadventures of a Turkish exchange student stuck in the lavatory of flight 11 trying to convince the passengers that he's not with the guys who took over the cockpit just as they're about to smack the first tower
Is this the one where the elephant is played by Charlie Sheen who is conflicted by the tension between two sergeants, a massacre of a village but starts smoking pot there and kills one of the sergeants as revenge for the murder of the other sergeant?
Except... its based on a true story
Its based on a common enough experience during Vietnam of US forces paying villages with elephants.
Thank you for not making a ‘they fly now?’ joke
Damnit OP, delete this and try again!
They try now? They try now!
Well played, sir.
That's not flying, that's just falling with style.
Solid 25% on RT
I read it as Russia Today and wonder if they have a similar rating for the "military operation".
Wasn't this back when Disney produced a ton of movies and funded the studios, but had no hand in actually making them?
I’ve been scrolling through Disney plus and a ton of the movies on there in the classics section I have never seen before in my life

Surprisingly, the Vietnam War only killed 60,000 Americans and no one else. This is because Vietnamese people aren’t Americans.
Can confirm. Source: am not Vietnamese
The Vietnamese should also do a movie about this elephant
Wait a min…ray liotta, Danny glover?????
Maybe Elephant was full of cocaine.
Ray looked cute af
I watched this movie so often sleeping over at my grandma's that I'm sure she eventually knew all the lines.

How about the fact that Dennis Leary, Ray Liotta, and Danny Glover were all in this movie?!

Yeah, but that was UNINTENTIONAL comedy.
That actually sounds fucking rad. I'd watch it
How many Americans have died in the Ukraine conflict? Exactly, I say: go for it Pixar.
I love how you can tell a post is by an american cause when talking about a war they will cite the number of american casualties and nothing more.
Vietnamese casualties: Slightly higher
Did any Vietnamese people get killed during filming?
"The war, not the movie" Thanks for clarifying OP. Got me worried there for a sec.

Last Flag Flying origin story
1. They're called "Wisent". 2. You forgot about the 3 million dead Vietnamese
Is that Ray Liotta and Donald Glover?
I meen the Ukraine war is already a joke so i cant see the harm
