Animal House is known for its gross humor, classic soundtrack, teacher-bashing, and chasing girls.
But it was one scene that typified its anti-authoritarian playfulness and sparked imitators: the great food fight.
The Dean has tasked the Omega fraternity to find ways to remove the Deltas from campus, but that doesn’t stop the crude Bluto (John Belushi) from being boisterous.
As he drops his stacked food tray onto a table full of preppy types, he crams stuff into his mouth and slaps his cheeks, propelling the slimy remnants onto their faces and sparking a slapstick chase that’s deliriously manic.
John Belushi improvised his material during the cafeteria scene, including the “I’m a zit!” moment.
Animal House is the very first movie to feature actor Kevin Bacon.
Harold Ramis wrote the part of Boon, intending of playing the character himself, but was told he was too old for the role.
