Which 'Scary Movie' has Ghostface?

Scary Movie 1.

See, this is why it's

Ghostface is coming back for the first time in 26 years,

and he is pissed off.

Imagine he hasn't worked in 26 years, he's fucking mad.

But he's kind of happy,

because that 9 million we gave him plus points,

he really- Wait, he got...

Wait, what? Huh?

Shh.

Are all the 'Scary Movies' connected?

Yes, well, we planned this franchise out.

We planned it that they would all connect

in some kind of way,

and it's for you to figure out the connections.

We leave that to the audience.

We don't overthink it.

We know what we're doing.

We knew that when we did Scary Movie 1

and it was about Ghostface,

that two was gonna be about haunted houses

and that kind of spiritual realm,

because they were dead.

And in part three, they wanted The Ring

and the aliens,

and those things connecting with The Matrix

all happened organically. It's the grand plan.

Yeah. All along.

There you go. All to bring us back to

Ghostface. [bell dinging]

Ghostface, yep.

We sure red and greenpilled it.

Yeah, we sure did. [Marlon chuckling]

And the black.

Which Scary Movie was Marlon

the brilliant actor or thespian?

[Shawn chuckling]

He was in Scary Movie 1. Wasn't Marlon Wayans in-

One, two, three, and now.

You are wrong, [buzzer buzzing]

and that's what's crazy. What?

I'm sorry, one, two. Hey, you came out

the same penis as me. I'm sorry, one, two,

and now.

You have to know things about me

that nobody else does.

I said one, two, and now.

Which ones was I in?

One, two, and now. [bell dinging]

[Anna chuckling]

[Anna sighing loudly] Why is 'Scary Movie'

called 'Scary Movie'?

Ooh, can we tell a little bit about the backstory with it?

I'll tell you why. From what I know?

Do it. All right, lemme see

if you're right. Okay, so I was cast in 1999

in my very first audition in LA

in a movie called Scream If You Know What I Did

Last Halloween.

Yes. Yes.

Because it was a combination of Scream

and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Halloween.

And also, that's what we kind of did when we did

Don't Be a Menace. Don't Be a Menace

in South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.

That was our thing. We mixed it all together.

It had a Miramax, had Dimension.

It was sweaty,

and sitting across the table, There's too many words.

We are gonna call it

'Scary Movie.' 'Scary Movie.'

[bell dinging] Well, he always wanted

to put out a movie called Scary Movie.

That was his title that he had in his head for years.

Scary Movie. So that was Bob's

brilliant idea. Was that when-

Scary Movie. Did you guys-

Scary Movie.

Scary Movie. Not wanna do it?

'Cause you guys- No, we actually liked it.

You didn't mind it? I mean, we thought

it was good. We thought it was

a cool title. I think anytime

an executive names your movie in the room,

that means they see it as marketing,

and you gotta go with it.

What would we call White Chicks?

We didn't know exactly.

Some Like It Not,

or something like that. Some Like It, yeah,

Some Like it Not.

And he was like, White Chicks.

Why was 'Scary Movie' created?

Because three Black men needed to work.

Hollywood wasn't writing us nothing.

We ain't Will Smith.

We had something to say

at that time. [Waylon chuckling]

Those movies from Scream 1 and 2,

and I Know What You Did Last Summer was funny to us,

and we found funny characters

and funny tropes of the genre to make fun of,

and that's why we-

I really appreciate your long,

well-thought-out answer when the truth

is we needed the check. [bell dinging]

You guys got a check?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What is

'Scary Movie' a parody of?

[sighs] Scream. Life,

society. Scream 2.

Culture.

Civilization. I Know What You Did

Last Summer.

Usual Suspects, Matrix,

and a bunch of other movies in between.

It's a gumbo, if you will. [bell dinging]

What is the highest grossing

'Scary Movie'? [card thumping]

I would think it was Scary Movie 1.

I think it was probably

Scary Movie 1 or 3. [bell dinging]

[Anna exhaling loudly] What is the budget

[Anna chuckling] of 'Scary Movie'?

Not enough.

The first one cost us-

20.

19 million.

19 million.

The second one was

$35 million? 35.

This one was same. The sixth Scary Movie,

the budget is $35 million. [bell dinging]

That is only possible because Anna-

[Shawn] Was so generous.

Made no money at all, and she said,

No, but wait. You Wayanses,

you deserve the money.

You guys, I've been eating for the past three movies.

I give it all to you.

Yeah. She's giving back.

I want to help- You was giving back.

Black children, and I said-

It's time. I have the perfect

foundation for that. It's time.

It's time for me. It's time.

Yes. It's time for me.

'Cause you couldn't The Wayans

Family Foundation. Adopt one.

You couldn't adopt

a Black child, so. [chuckles] And she is our donor.

I don't know how to take care of a kid.

Yeah. [everyone chuckling]

Are Cindy and Brenda in every 'Scary Movie'?

If we were producing those movies,

Cindy and Brenda would be in every Scary Movie.

But they were in one, two, three.

Four. Four.

They weren't in five.

[bell dinging] They wasn't in five.

And that was their mistake.

Cut the combo. Will 'Scary Movie'

have a popcorn bucket?

Yes. No, yes.

Yes. I am thrilled to say yes.

Yes, it will. Yes.

We'll have a popcorn bucket,

a very special one to be named.

How many 'Scary Movies' are there?

Six come June 5th. Six.

Well, you count six. [bell dinging]

Shawn and I, I would say

there's three. Three.

Will 'Scary Movie' be rated R?

This Scary Movie

is rated R. Is my penis black?

Very. Whoa.

Blacker than the rest of my body.

Whoa. You're goddamn right

it's gonna be rated R. [bell dinging]

Whoa, that's just crazy.

Why is this 'Scary Movie' 'Wazzup' scene so famous?

Because a lot of people get high and say,

Wazzup! [bell dinging]

Wazzup. It says so much.

Will 'Scary Movie' be in IMAX?

Absolutely, because not.

[bell dinging] because-

It's not, right?

No, it's not.

I wanna do the next one in IMAX and maybe 4D.

And when we do, like, when we do, like, a fart joke,

let's like, put, like, fart smell in.

People ain't ready for that. Oh yeah,

the whole sensory experience. And make it so like

a whole thing shatters. Yeah.

Like the THX, like, Uh-uh, I don't think-

[Marlon groaning] I like it.

[Marlon groaning] Yeah.

[Shawn] People don't want that.

Juice. You know when it's,

like, spraying out People don't like that.

Into the audience somehow? I'm gonna do it.

Scary Movie 7, Okay, what-

We're doing it.

Okay, wait, Why does everyone remember the hand scene

in 'Scary Movie 2'?

Because of the brilliant Because it was crazy.

Chris Elliot?

Chris Elliot is crazy. Chris Elliot was crazy.

Is so brilliant. And a genius.

And there's nothing funnier than watching him

finger pop a turkey [bell dinging]

with that little hand.

[Crew Member] What's the thing that people

come up to you the most and, like, quote to you back

from the movies?

People come up to us and quote-

Whazzup.

And sometimes they quote stuff we never said.

That's the craziest thing.

Like everybody thinks I said, I see white people.

I didn't.

I said, I see dead people,

I get a lot of Y'all mean, Yo, that jacket is tight.

Yeah, mm, son, mm.

And I like to think it's 'cause Shorty

So she ain't no culture vulture, ready?

Will 'Scary Movie' have a Ghostface?

Yes. [bell dinging]
