It tells

156-505: A Jewish-American Borscht Belt stand-up comedian . After witnessing Mason's one-man comedy act on Broadway at the insistence of producer Jon Peters, Allan Arkush was concerned about the comedian's suitability for the film: “The thing that occurred to me was that [Mason] didn’t connect with the audience in any sort of personal way. That’s not necessarily a good thing for someone who’s supposed to be your lead. At least when Rodney says, ‘I get no respect,’ there's an empathy that he evokes from

234-440: A Poodle every four to eight weeks. Poodles are often cited as a hypoallergenic dog breed . Their individual hair follicles have an active growth period that is longer than that of many other breeds; combined with the tightly curled coat, which slows the loss of dander and dead hair by trapping it in the curls, an individual Poodle may release less dander and hair into the environment. However, researchers have generally not found

312-406: A caddy named Harry. In retaliation for being blacklisted by the club and Chandler having the construction site being shut down by establishing a Historical Preservation Society, Jack turns to his friend, Ty Webb who owns the majority share of Bushwood but otherwise stays out of the club's day-to-day operations. Jack buys Ty's stock in the club - making himself majority owner - and turns Bushwood into

390-639: A difference in allergens across breeds. The FCI and AKC allows Poodles to be shown in the Puppy, Continental (Lion in the FCI standard), English Saddle, or Sporting (Modern) clip. The FCI additionally recognizes the Scandinavian clip. The most popular in the show ring is the Continental clip, where the face and rear end of the body are clipped, leaving tufts on the hocks and tip of the tail and rosettes on

468-597: A distinctive thick, curly coat that comes in many colors and patterns, with only solid colors recognized by breed registries. Poodles are active and intelligent, and are particularly able to learn from humans. Poodles tend to live 10–18 years, with smaller varieties tending to live longer than larger ones. The Poodle likely originated in Germany , although the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI, International Canine Federation) and

546-612: A fight with the studio and backed out. We had some success with Back to School , which I produced and wrote, and we were working with the same director, Alan Metter. When Rodney pulled out, I pulled out, and then they fired Alan and got someone else. I got a call from [co-producer] Jon Peters saying, "Come with us to New York; we're going to see Jackie Mason !" I said, "Ooh, don't do this. Why don't we let it die?" And he said, "No, it'll be great." But I didn't go, and they got other writers to finish it. I tried to take my name off that one, but they said if I took my name off, it would come out in

624-505: A gaudy amusement park called Jackie's Wacky Golf, angering Chandler and the other club members when they lose at each hole against Peter. Chandler hires a mercenary named Captain Tom Everett to kill Jack after being hooked up by their mutual friend. Kate moves in with Miffy after a heated argument with Jack. Chandler and Todd threaten Blunt with endless legal motions and filings intended to financially bankrupt Jack. Ty Webb suggests that

702-408: A good idea.” They couldn't get it bought. So they asked, “How would you like to make Caddyshack II ?” After the offer was made, Arkush rented and watched the original Caddyshack and signed on to direct the sequel. He was not aware at the time of the litigation between the studio and Rodney Dangerfield. It was only after agreeing to direct Caddyshack II that Allan Arkush realized how much trouble

780-413: A great idea: 'The Shack is Back!'" And I said "No, I don't think so." But they said that Rodney really wanted to do it, and we could build it around Rodney. Rodney said, "Come on, do it." Then the classic argument came up which says that if you don't do it, someone will, and it will be really bad. So I worked on a script with my partner Peter Torokvei, consulting with Rodney all the time. Then Rodney got into

858-671: A measure of their ability to learn from humans. Shyness or sharpness is considered a serious fault in the breed. The life expectancy of the Poodle varies based on size, as smaller dogs live longer than larger dogs. A study in Japan found the Toy Poodle to have a life expectancy of 12.7 years. A 2024 UK study found a life expectancy of 14 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds . A 2005 Swedish study found 25% of miniature and toy Poodles died by

936-489: A mercenary/survivalist hired by Chandler (Stack) to kill Jack (Mason). Although playing new characters in the sequel, Jackie Mason, Robert Stack , Dan Aykroyd, and Jonathan Silverman play roles that are analogous to those played by Dangerfield, Knight, Murray, and Michael O'Keefe in the first film. Sam Kinison , who had appeared alongside Dangerfield in Back to School , was originally intended for Randy Quaid 's role, but left

1014-665: A minority of cynologists believe it originated in France . Similar dogs date back to at least the 17th century. Larger Poodles were originally used by wildfowl hunters to retrieve game from water, while smaller varieties were once commonly used as circus performers. Poodles were recognized by both the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom and the American Kennel Club (AKC) soon after the clubs' founding. Since

1092-430: A more richly developed sport world, and may also be more player-oriented or thematically complex. Often, they feature a hero of adventure origins and a clear distinction between loss and victory set against each other in a play time struggle. Thematically, the story is often one of "our team" versus "their team"; their team will always try to win, and our team will show the world that they deserve recognition or redemption;

1170-440: A moving ship barreling full steam ahead.” Screenwriters Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman , who scripted Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), were brought in to overhaul Ramis and Torokvei's script (although they would ultimately receive no official credit for doing so). With Rodney Dangerfield out of the picture, the screenplay replaced Al Czervic with Jack Hartounian, a new character to be played by Jackie Mason - like Dangerfield,

1248-464: A number of personal anecdotes about life as a teenage caddy that made it more relatable. The sequel is just forced. It completely loses the anarchic spirit of the first one. It has slobs and snobs but not the underlying heart. The comedy is far too over-the-top, and the message about elitism is so overt that the comedy is suffocated... Ty Webb's famous "be the ball" advice was all about following one's instincts to achieve success. Caddyshack knew how to be

1326-455: A poisoned arrow and sucking out the poison. Peter mocks Chandler and Miffy argues with her mother over marrying Chandler while Todd falls unconscious. Jack asks Elizabeth out on a date and she accepts. The gopher pops out of the hole during the celebration and pursues a poodle . Construction workers portrayed by Andre Rosey Brown , Dennis Bowen , Gary Carlos Cervantes, Kenny D'Aquila , and Mark Christopher Lawrence . The original Caddyshack

1404-525: A popular companion dog. Initially, these efforts resulted in disfigured or misshapen pups, as well as pups with behavioural problems, as a result of irresponsible breeding for dwarfed size only. As new breeding practices were adopted, the variety became set as a toy-sized replica of the original. Later attempts to create an even smaller variety, the Teacup Poodle, were unable to overcome serious genetic abnormalities and were abandoned. The last of

1716-567: Is derived from the Low German word "puddeln", meaning "to splash". Numerous works by various German artists from as early as the 17th century depict dogs of recognisably Poodle type. Some cynologists believe the Poodle originated in France , where it is known as the "Caniche" and that the breed descends from the Barbet. This view is shared by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI, International Canine Federation). Others argue that

1794-478: Is now known as the miniature poodle, which was known as the toy poodle until 1907, as a smaller sized dog is easier to handle and transport in a travelling circus. As circus performers the variety was frequently seen performing all manner of tricks including walking tightropes, acting out comedies and even performing magic and card tricks. The Toy Poodle was created at the beginning of the 20th century when breeders again bred Miniature Poodles down in size to create

1872-458: Is predisposed to hypothyroidism and Cushing's syndrome . The Poodle is one of the more commonly affected breeds for progressive rod-cone degeneration . An autosomal recessive mutation in the PRCD gene is responsible for the condition in the breed. Poodles were originally bred for waterfowl hunting . Despite this history, they are currently classified as companion dogs by the FCI. Since

1950-489: Is the kind of film that sends careers spiraling downward." Dave Kehr of the Chicago Tribune wrote, " Caddyshack II raises the ghost of summer comedies past. It's shoddy, lazy and numbingly stupid," adding, "The comedy is mostly a matter of flatulent animals and falls into swimming pools, and director Allan Arkush (of the engaging Rock 'n' Roll High School ) executes it with an uncharacteristic clumsiness... Given

Harold Ramis recalled, "[PJ] Torokvei and I went to one of the first research screenings in Pasadena , and we literally crawled out of the theater because we didn't want anyone to see us." Mark Canton , Warner Bros.' head of production at the time Caddyshack II was made, said in 2010, "It was troubled from the beginning because Rodney didn't do it. No offense to Jackie Mason, but it just didn’t work. It

2184-412: The craft services table meant the wardrobe department had to keep letting out his pants. Aykroyd angered the producers by insisting on playing his role with a high-pitched, whinnying voice (which Aykroyd claimed was based on the voice of Colonel Oliver North ). Arkush had a bad working relationship with Chevy Chase, who was paid a substantial fee for a relatively minimal role. Arkush later recalled, "It

2262-443: The gopher still dwells. When the elitist , old money members of Bushwood meet self-made millionaire Jack, who builds low-income housing in upscale neighborhoods and displays many working class traits, his application to join is rejected. The only member of the club who takes a liking to the lewd, but well-meaning Jack is wealthy widow Elizabeth Pearce. Jack runs afoul of Bushwood's arrogant president Chandler Young who declares

2340-552: The 1960s burst in poodle popularity led to rapid breeding aimed at producing good show dogs. The breeding focused on a small number of popular bloodlines, creating a genetic bottleneck. One study estimated that two average Standard Poodles are about as closely related as the offspring of two full sibling village dogs . The Poodle is predisposed to the following dermatological conditions: allergic skin disease , alopecia X or follicular arrest, injection site alopecia, otitis externa , melanoma , and sebaceous adenitis .

Not in a traditional way, mind you. This is a very bad picture, yet I was fascinated by its utter refusal to deviate from the formula. They theoretically could have gone a hundred different ways or told a brand new story about life at Bushwood, but they didn't. They doggedly held firm to

2574-649: The Hartounians "are not Bushwood material." Chandler's equally haughty wife Cynthia tries to persuade Jack to build his housing complex away from her neighborhood after her son Todd failed to persuade Jack's lawyer Peter Blunt, leading Jack to chase her and the Pierponts with a bulldozer. In addition, Jack wins Chandler, Cynthia, Mr. Jamison, the Pierponts, and each of its "secret slaves" in an auction that involves them working on his construction site.

The kennel clubs which do not recognise the Medium Poodle variety typically have the Standard Poodle between 38 and 60 centimetres (15 and 24 in) and Miniature Poodle between 28 and 38 centimetres (11 and 15 in), with

2730-886: The Poodle originated in Germany in the Middle Ages , from a dog similar to today's Standard Poodle. The Poodle was Germany's water dog , just as England had the English Water Spaniel , France the Barbet , Ireland the Irish Water Spaniel and the Netherlands the Wetterhoun . Among the evidence used to support this theory is the Germanic name for the breed, Poodle or "Pudel" in German, which

2808-512: The Poodle varieties to be recognised was the Medium Poodle, which in size is mid way in between the Standard and the Miniature Poodle. Not universally recognised by the world's kennel clubs , the Medium Poodle is recognised by the FCI and most Continental European kennel clubs. One of the reasons for creating this fourth size variety may have been a desire to reduce the number of entries of Poodles by variety at conformation shows . The Poodle

Both diseases became more prevalent in poodles after

2964-495: The audience.” Arkush also stated, "[Mason] is a very funny joke machine and you laugh yourself silly. I needed a comedian who was equally an actor. I went to the producer Jon Peters and told him my fears. He was so convinced that Jackie was a brilliant comedian and could pull it off. Jon looked me in the eye and said, “Don’t turn a Go picture into a development deal.” I should have walked away." Mason's casting in Caddyshack II

He later said, "You should never make a movie for the wrong reasons. You should only make movies about something where you know no one else can make it better than you... It was my own fault. Everyone who worked on it worked hard and

3120-428: The belief that by simply replicating as many elements from the original as closely as possible, they'd strike comedic gold a second time... My justification for liking Caddyshack II was that it's ultimately a movie about its own failed attempt at a franchise. It is an example of people desperately trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice. For me, that made some of the scenes humorous at the time. I didn't laugh because

Whatever the Poodle's country of origin, both their German and French breed names indicate the modern Poodle's ancestors were widely used by waterfowlers both to retrieve shot game and to recover lost arrows and bolts that had missed their mark. Due to their intelligence, obedient nature, athleticism and looks poodles were frequently employed in circuses, particularly in France. In French circuses poodles were selectively bred down in size to create what

3276-504: The comedy was of good quality...I laughed because the intention to duplicate the formula was so blatant that it became sublimely absurd... Any humor [ Caddyshack II ] contains comes not from the material but from the failed attempt at pulling the material off. I thought that, while it didn't work at the intended level, it did work on a whole other, unintended level. Watching it again 20 years later, I no longer find it to be amusing on any level...

Though once as common as the curly Poodle, corded Poodles are now rare. Corded coats are difficult to keep clean and take a long time to dry after washing. Corded Poodles may be shown in all major kennel club shows. The Poodle has a wide variety of colouring, including white, black, brown, blue, gray, silver, café au lait , silver beige, cream, apricot, and red, and patterns such as parti-, abstract, sable , brindle and phantom.

4056-523: The late 1980s, some breeders in the United States and Canada have been selecting for dogs with drive for birds in order to revive the breed for hunting, with some success. Poodles are highly trainable dogs that typically excel in obedience training. Historically, they were a popular circus dog. In addition to hunt tests, they do well in agility and rally. They are among the most popular service dog breeds. Poodles have been used as working dogs in

4602-529: The project was in: production began in late 1987 and Warner Bros. still insisted upon a summer 1988 release, meaning only half a year for principal photography and post-production. Adding to this difficulty was the fact that the project was nowhere near ready to begin filming. Arkush later claimed, “The more I got into it, the more I realized that they didn’t have a script that was in any kind of shape, they didn’t have Bill Murray and now they didn’t have Rodney Dangerfield.” Arkush likened his assignment “to hopping onto

On his first day, we were working out the blocking for his scene and I said, ‘How do you want to do this, Chevy?’ And he was just pissed at me and said, ‘Why? Don’t you have any ideas?!’” Arkush claimed that two days later, when filming Chase, Arkush offered suggestions to which Chase replied, “What? Don’t I get any input on this?!” Later, while watching one of his scenes during postproduction, Chase said to Arkush, “Call me when you’ve dubbed

Of his role as Jack Hartounian, Mason said, "What I like about [him] is that he's more concerned with the way people treat each other than whether they use the right words in polite society or raise the proper finger to drink a glass of beer." Chevy Chase was the only cast member from the original Caddyshack to reprise his role (and would publicly announce later that he regretted doing so). Bill Murray refused to reprise his Carl Spackler role, opting to make Scrooged (1988) instead.

Needing a big comedy for the summer of 1988, Warner Bros. agreed to Dangerfield's demands and paid Chevy Chase a seven-figure sum to reprise his role of Ty Webb from the original Caddyshack (albeit via a glorified cameo).
