Popeye	comment	Popeye is a 1980 Musical Live-Action Adaptation produced by Paramount and Disney, starring Robin Williams as the eponymous character and directed by Robert Altman, with a song score by Harry Nilsson, and a screenplay by Jules Feiffer.The plot is effectively the origin tale of the two-fisted sailor man. After years on the sea, Popeye arrives in the ramshackle town of Sweethaven searching for his long-lost father (Ray Walston) and winds up not only getting caught up in a Love Triangle with Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall) and Bluto (Paul L. Smith), but also becoming an adoptive father to an abandoned baby boy he names Swee'Pea...Although it was a financial success (grossing more than twice its enormous budget in the U.S. alone), critical reception towards the film was mixed. Popeye fans were upset that the film wasn't anything like the animated Fleischer or Famous cartoons and instead drew more heavily from the Thimble Theater comic strip that had birthed the character. The film derailed Robert Altman's directorial career for a decade and was largely disowned by Robin Williams for the rest of his life. Still, it would become a Cult Classic over time.

Popeye / int_127fc252	comment	Creator Cameo: The Falcons, formed by Harry Nilsson to perform for the songs featured in the film, appear as characters in Sweethaven in the film: Klaus Voorman and Doug Dillard play Von Schnitzel (the conductor) and Clem (the banjo player), two musicians at the boxing match. Hoagy, a piano player for the Rough House, is played by Van Dyke Parks, who arranged and conducted Nilsson's songs as well as "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man". Percussionist Ray Cooper, who would later become famous for his work with Elton John, plays the town's preacher.

Popeye / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: For a Popeye adaptation, this film has a gritty feel to match the dilapidated town of Sweethaven. Bluto imposes curfews, intimidates the entire town with his demeanor, has a tax collector who is implied to be bleeding the townspeople with little to show for it in quality of life, and despite the townspeople trying to put on a happy face, you can get the impression that they'd relish the opportunity to move somewhere else.

By which time he'd already proven himself to be fantastically tough, in fact indestructible. Comics historian Bill Blackbeard (yes, that's his real name) calls Popeye the first comic superhero.

Popeye / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Popeye / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: At Olive and Bluto's engagement party a man can be heard complaining about Olive getting married. This man is Harold Hamgravy, who was Olive's fiance in the original Thimble Theater comic strip before Popeye was introduced. After Popeye became the strips Breakout Character Hamgravy was Demoted to Extra. Swee'pea's introduction in the movie is a big Shout-Out to the way he was introduced in the comic strip. note In the comic, he arrives in a package addressed to Popeye, and the package makes so many strange sounds that Popeye and Wimpy think it must contain a dangerous animal and are about to kill it when they discover that the package contains a baby. In the movie, Popeye picks up a basket which he mistakes for Olive's, and Olive hears the baby's rattle and is convinced that there's a rattlesnake in the basket, and Popeye opens the basket to deal with the dangerous creature before he discovers it's a baby. When Rough House asks who's going pay for the burger Wimpy replies "I'm buying, he's paying." This was one of his Catch Phrases in the original comic strip. All the Rough House roughnecks — Spike, Mort, Gozo, Bolo, Slug and Butch — are all named after various thug villains Popeye encountered (and defeated) in the Thimble Theater comic strips. About half of them were henchmen for The Sea Hag.

Popeye / int_26eb6287	type	Funny Background Event
Popeye / int_26eb6287	comment	Funny Background Event: All over the place. From the first scenes we see all the extra background characters and main characters doing something at any given moment throughout, such as the hairy, bearded hobo who is seen taking a random swim in one scene, and Popeye ripping off the helm of the Commodore's boat trying to steer it. When the diner toughs come into The Rough House Cafe, Mort snatches a chair up from under Ham Gravy. However, Ham remains aloft as if the chair is still under him. In the background, you see that he's still aloft like this for five or more minutes! And when the brawl goes down, Popeye lays waste to the toughs. At the edge of the frame, Spike can be seen grabbing a ketchup bottle to use as a club, then realizing this isn't gonna do much good against this guy, and sheepishly placing it back on the table. As Popeye is taking down the last tough, look in the far background. Slick the Milkman (whom Gozo forced to sit on a hot stove for several minutes) is being carried away to safety on his wife Rosie's shoulders, while fanning the charred seat of his pants!

Because the film wasn't as profitable as hoped and reviews were so mixed, he immediately lost it and while he did a lot of film and TV work over the rest of The '80s, none of it got mainstream attention until 1992's The Player, which triggered a Career Resurrection.

Popeye initially fights Oxblood for entertainment and is obviously having no trouble. Then Oxblood tries to fight dirty, which riles Popeye - who ends the fight very decisively shortly after! Bluto brutally and decisively trashes Popeye at the engagement party. Before the spinach, Bluto had the upper hand for pretty much the entire duel on Scab Island. The killer octopus is first pummeled silly by a spinach-powered Popeye, and then it gets hit by an uppercut of such ridiculous power that it is launched not just out of the ocean, but several hundred feet in the sky. It's difficult to think of another movie monster who was annihilated that badly in a final fight.

When the treasure is finally revealed, it turns out to be things like an empty picture frame of Popeye (Pappy's son) as an "infant", his baby rattle, baby booties, and other sentimental mementos of childhood.

In the movie, Popeye picks up a basket which he mistakes for Olive's, and Olive hears the baby's rattle and is convinced that there's a rattlesnake in the basket, and Popeye opens the basket to deal with the dangerous creature before he discovers it's a baby.

Wimpy gets to say a few of his famous Catch Phrases over the course of the movie, such as "I'm buying, he's paying" and of course the classic "I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Geezil never misses an opportunity to tell Wimpy that he hates him — or tell other people that he hates Wimpy. Popeye's signature "Phooey!" proves to be both hereditary and contagious, as Poopdeck Pappy and Olive Oyl both use it in his presence. Cole Oyl is very prone to tell people that they owe him an apology. "You're not thinking of doing [random activity], are you? Because there's a xx cent [same random activity] tax."

This is much closer to his comic strip personality.
