    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The story that Billy Crystal tells about his "best day" of going to a Yankee game with his father is a true story from his childhood. He notes at one point that, "I still have the program." Not only does he really still have it, but he got Mickey Mantle to autograph it twice: once at the game that day and once again some 20 years later on a talk show they were both guests on.
    • Goofs
      The calving scene is a genetic impossibility. The "mother" is a mixed-breed beef cow, giving birth to a pure-bred Jersey dairy calf.
    • Quotes

      Mitch Robbins: Alright Ed, your best day, what was it, twins in a trapeze, what?

      Ed Furillo: No, I don't wanna play.

      Mitch Robbins: C'mon, we did it.

      Ed Furillo: I don't feel like it.

      Mitch Robbins: Uh, okay.

      [pause]

      Ed Furillo: I'm 14 and my mother and father are fighting again... y'know, because she caught him again. Caught him... This time the girl drove by the house to pick him up. And I finally realized, he wasn't just cheating on my mother, he was cheating us. So I told him, I said, "You're bad to us. We don't love you. I'll take care of my mother and my sister. We don't need you any more." And he made like he was gonna hit me, but I didn't budge. And he turned around and he left. He never bothered us again. Well, I took care of my mother and my sister from that day on. That's my best day.

      Phil Berquist: What was your worst day?

      Ed Furillo: Same day.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits show a cartoon of a cowboy practicing with a lasso
    • Alternate versions
      German version is cut by approx. four minutes (a lengthy dialogue scene where the guys ride through a valley). This was reinstated for the 2003 MGM DVD release.

    Hilarious and Well-Meaning Comedy.
    "City Slickers" is one of those curiosities that is just good pure entertainment that works in spite of itself. Billy Crystal is going through a mid-life crisis. It is time to get away. So he goes on a trail ride with friends Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby. What follows is a funny film that is full of outlandish delight. Oscar-winner Jack Palance dominates in a very short role as the man hired to look after Crystal, his friends and a group of interesting characters. Charming little film. 4 stars out of 5.
