"John Candy Date of Death: 4th March 1994 (43) Cause: Heart Attack Fate of the Project?: His few remaining scenes were either not filmed, or were filmed using a stand-in, then re-written not to involve him. His second bar sequence re-uses footage from his earlier bar sequence. The films ends with a dedication to him."

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary - Year 2011 (713 movies items)

"9.2. 2011 A Western comedy with too few original jokes. John Candy was a likable and talented comedian and often saving grace for movies that otherwise weren't that memorable. His performance as a special kind of cowboy is very fun to watch."

"Watched 4.7 ---------- John Candyn viimeiseksi jäänyt leffa, Wagons East!, on samalla myös miehen vähimmälle huomiolle jääneitä elokuvia, enkä ihmettele kyllä yhtään. Vitseistä sata prosenttia on jo valmiiksi tuhat kertaa käytettyä kamaa, eli siis tyyliin "hehee, tuon äijän kivekset törmäs kaktukseen" jne. Eivätkä ne naurattaisi silloinkaan, vaikka tää olisi ensimmäinen elokuva jossa niitä käytetään. Lisäksi John Candyn ja oikeestaan kaikkien muidenkin suoritukset on"

sad comedy

“How could they have released this film? I honestly don't remember what the plot was or what the jokes were like, all I could do when I watched it many years ago and feel pain and sadness knowing this is the film in which actor John Candy died while filming. For the director/producer to finish up the rest of the film using stand-ins and rewrite the story to exclude Candy from the rest of the story was a huge mistake. Greed prevailed over respect for the great comic's death.

John Candy, R.I.P. - you'll forever be missed.

And I'll be sure to remember you by your true classics; Planes Trains Automobiles, Uncle Buck, SpaceBalls, Canadian Bacon, and Great Outdoors.” read more
