Only Fools and Horses "Miami Twice: The American Dream" Special REACTION!
Added 2024-04-07 16:00:15 +0000 UTC
The Damian zoom ins are killing me! LMAO!
She was fun at the start, always winding Rodney up with cutting and sarcastic replies but yes, she became dull and dragged Rodney down with her...
I agree, she wasn't a very good actor either but did improve as the show went on.

Most people hear some Latin chanting singers and assume it is from 'The Omen'. Its so annoying as Jerry Goldsmith's scores for the Omen trilogy far excel 'O Fortuna!'. I always assume whoever thinks that just hasn't seen 'The Omen' as there is no way you can confuse the two - even Marlee Matlin can tell the difference. As for genuine film score music, at least once the actual strings from the shower scene in 'Psycho' by Bernard Herrmann are used effectively, it is (of course) a recorded session and not from the film but it is the same as the film, unlike 'The Omen' inserts.

Yeah, I can see how the confusion may have arisen, but hey-ho - at least we got the proper version this time - there's at least a couple more iterations of the joke coming -lets hope we get it there too. Whoever is supplying KB with the eps is most likely on the ball though I'd hope. We'll know very quickly if that's the case when we get the next main Miami Twice special, as there were some egregious music edits there too in the later edited version.

They were tiger print swimming trunks that Del got out of the drawer. The same that he wore all those years ago in Benidorm when they went with Grandad.
I love that they're talking about sophistication and being debonair, and Del's first thought is to get them out.

lol I thought it was from The Omen as well. It's been so long since I've watched this episode without the edited music. I forgot how funny the original version was, especially the bit where Rodney jumps at the camera flashing. I think it was also played in the last episode when Damien was born and also the "Miracle of Peckham" episode when they discover the crying Mary statue.

Thanks mate - glad someone else gets it! Sorry for the wall of text, but, you know!

2024-04-09 17:45:18 +0000 UTC
Well said! Also totally agree that the alternate version used is shit, always annoys me.
Kevin Liversage
2024-04-09 17:03:44 +0000 UTC
Ok, let's get this one clear: - yes this is the original broadcast version with the proper music used with the Rodney/Damien bits, which is great, glad about that. The alternative music used in the edited episodes just doesn't match with the visuals and is shit. However - the music used here is NOT from "The Omen". It's a specific moment from 'O Fortuna' a movement from 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff.
The most famous use of this piece of music in the UK before this is probably the TV adverts for "Old Spice" (a brand of men's fragrances) from the 70's/80's. It was also used in John Boorman's film "Excalibur" (1981).
Quite how it somehow got confused with music from "The Omen" is a little baffling, but I suppose it sounds suitably demonic. Jerry Goldsmith composed the music from "The Omen" - the title music named "Ave Satani" won an Oscar. There's elements that are similar I suppose, but that's being charitable.
But, the choice of this burst from 'O Fortuna' is definitely funny, as it works perfectly as a punctuation mark for the joke. But let's please finally put to bed the notion that this is "The Omen" music please?
Sorry, but it boils my piss somewhat everytime this comes up. I appreciate though that's my problem though rather than anyone else's!

That's wrong... You can't come and go as you please if you leave the country...
If they've moved, their time is usally very limited to visit the UK again...
The reason!... Well that's because the greedy UK government even tries to tax you after you've left...
For example, if you don't liquidate your personal assets, you have live abroad for 5 years or more avoid paying capitals gains tax and if you visit the UK for 90 days or more, they grab that tax...
This is why when people move to Dubai from the UK for example to avoid paying the unfair double taxation that is capital gains tax in future while already moved out of the UK, they will often sell up and take the tax hit in the UK and then buy the assets again, wether it's shares or crypto when they move to Dubai where there is zero capital gains tax!...
These millionaires who are leaving the country in record numbers are also taking away their UK tax contributions, spending on UK goods, businesses, corporations, employment, ideas, innovation and inventions, growth and GDP!...
It's easy to mock successful people, entrepreneurs and business owners who are leaving the UK in record numbers but that just leaves behind the grafters not the innovative and job creators which will be a massive disaster for the UK in the medium to long term!

Don't know if Diddy has ever been to Necker island, but he's more than likely been to Epsteins island.

KB - bit of trivia for ya - the vicar performing the christening of Damian is the guy who played the cursed crew member in the first Pirates of The Caribbean, towards the beginning (ish) who lunged his hand through Sparrow's jail bars, grabbed his throat and said "You know nothing of hell." A member of Barbosa's crew in Curse of the Black Pearl. He also says towards the end to Barbosa "Every decision you've made has only brought us from bad to worse"

That may be true but the burden is then placed on ordinary working class people to keep the country running with these super rich tax dodgers coming and going as they please without paying a penny to our society.

There's no special of 2 hours, these combined specials are about 2 hours. This is probably the most rediculously farfetched episode of OFAH. An thank fuck you got the uncut episode regarding the Damien music.

Virgin has about 30 divisions at least but has sold quite a few off like Virgin Media, Virgin Money and they sold 49% of Virgin Airlines... They still have a tonne more though.

You mean he left the UK because of draconian taxation lol... I don't blame him and he's not the only one because the UK is now the 3rd worse country in the world for millionaire's leaving the country!... Basically any wealth, job and business creator is leaving the UK right now because of high taxes and it's getting worse because they know Labour will win the next election and tax them even more.

I'm not sure what you mean by film but if you mean part two then it's definitely not shite!... It may not be to your taste but to most who've watched it, it's epic... David Jason's acting as Del Boy is amazing in part two as well.

Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine 'Epstein' Maxwell's father) media tycoon that owned the Mirror newspaper groups and publishing groups, Israeli super-spy, sold PROMIS spyware to intel agencies across the world. A sometime member of parliament, he famously ran a public pension scheme to mostly Mirror readers, stole millions from them and was allegedly bumped off on his yacht and ditched overboard for blackmailing mossad.

The guy with the beard at the airport departure gate was the business tycoon Richard Branson who was the owner of Virgin Atlantic at the time. The term 'Maxwell' money with regards to pension funds refers to another UK business guy Robert Maxwell who famously stole some of his company's employees' pension cash (look him up online, an 'interesting' character to say the least).

That milkman joke at about 25 mins was actually double sided really, since you don't see Boycie have a moment of realization, Del most probably meant the milkman only saw her at the front door to get the milk in the morning (when he delivers).
