The Flintstones (1994)



Live-action adaptation of the 1960s primetime cartoon series about a suburban family living in the stone age. "Yabba-dabba-doo! Everyone's favorite modern stone-age family comes to life in this live-action film based on the classic Hanna Barbera cartoon. The gang's all here: Fred (John Goodman), Wilma (Elizabeth Perkins), Barney (Rick Moranis), Betty (Rosie O'Donnell) and even Dino! Everyone's excited when Fred gets a big promotion and becomes a top executive at Slate and Company. But what Fred doesn't realize is that he's being set up by his new boss, Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan), and Cliff's assistant, Sharon Stone (Halle Berry), to take the fall in a nasty embezzlement scheme. Can Fred figure out what's going on before it's too late?"
Additional cast:
Halle Berrie (of Planet Of The Apes fame), Elizabeth Taylor as Fred's bitchy mother-in-law, Richard Moll (the artist previously known as a one-eyed mutant in Adventures Beyond the Forbidden Zone), Loraine Newman of Coneheads, Jay Leno as host of "Bedrock's Most Wanted", Jonathan Winters (Commissioner Weston in The Shadow), and voice of Harvey Korman as the office dicto-bird. Cameos by Bill Hanna, Joe Barbera and Jean Vander Pyl (voice of Wilma in the original series). Directed by Brian Levant

Beware of vastly inferior re-cast sequel with no-name cast:
Flintstones 2: Viva Rock Vegas.
"Before she first met Fred Flintstone (Mark Addy), Wilma (Kirsten Johnston) was a rich but miserable girl in search of happiness. After abruptly leaving home in order to get away from her smothering mother (Joan Collins) and a shady playboy named Chip Rockefeller (Thomas Gibson) who had been courting her, Wilma winds up at a drive-in restaurant, where she meets Betty (Jane Krakowski) for the first time. Betty thinks Wilma is actually homeless and invites Wilma to live with her, and soon afterwards, Fred and Barney Rubble (Stephen Baldwin) ask the two girls out on a double date. It isn't before long Fred and Wilma begin to bond over a game of bowling, but Chip Rockefeller isn't out of Wilma's life just yet: deep in debt to a ruthless loan shark, Chip wants to get at Wilma's money, so he invites the two couples to his new casino in Rock Vegas, where he plans to do his best to put a stop to Fred and Wilma's blossoming love."

Trivia question: In what US state is flint the official stone?

Fun fact:
Harvey Korman is the only actor who "appeared" in the original Flintstones cartoon series (as the alien Great Gazoo that only Fred could see), the first movie (as the voice of the Dicta-bird) and the second movie (as Col. Slaghoople)

How many people does it take to change a light bulb in a large corporation?
Nobody knows. Policy is still being written, a "new skill" day needs to be scheduled, a pro needs to be hired to teach proper installation, OSHA rules need to be checked, the task needs to be properly delegated to the appropriate union, and of course there has to be a budget approval for the change.
