Crazy credits The end credits feature outtakes from the film, as well as one outtake from the film Smokey and the Bandit II Alternate versions Differences between the theatrical release and the director's cut: After Brian Fantana comments on being hung over from the previous night's party, Champ states "I woke up on the floor of some Japanesse family's living room, and they would NOT stop screaming!

In the director's cut, Champ says "I woke up this morning and I shit a squirrel. The hell of it is, the damn thing's still alive. So I've got this shit covered squirrel down there in the office, and I don't know what to name it. The scene of Ron Burgundy walking around the office with an erection is extended by about fifteen seconds.

Ron daydreams of being married to Veronica, and has two children. After coming home from work, she appears from the kitchen in negligee, tells him that she's just prepared dinner in the nude, and they somewhat violently make out in the hallway. The scene of Ron being carried away by the crowd after reading the phrase "Go fuck yourself, San Diego" on the air is extended, with Ron screaming, "I would never say fuck! I would never fucking ever fucking say that!

User reviews Review. Top review. The perfected art of being stupid. In a year packed with comedies that were all a bit stupid and silly and all seemed to feature Ben Stiller , Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy reigns supreme above them all. This is a movie that is well aware of its own stupidity, and best of all, it is able to embrace it skillfully so that it is exactly as silly and immature as it wants to be. It is such a great comedy; I'd consider it the Naked Gun of our generation.

As apposed to many, many, other comedies, Anchorman actually gets better as it moves along. Most of the time a comedy like this will use up all the laughs in the first hour and then try to take a serious, lovey-dovey turn in the last act. There are more laughs in the last half hour than in the first half hour, which usually is never the case. It's as if there was some mathematical comedic formula that spread the laughs out in a way that it was consistently funny.

Or, maybe they just got lucky. I dunno. I loved all the characters in the movie, every role no matter how small had a great moment or two.

In the movie, Ferrell plays Ron Burgundy, a clueless nightly news anchorman who, like some of his macho coworkers played by Vince Vaughn, Fred Willard, and Paul Rudd , lives the high life, s-style. He drinks on the job, smokes like a chimney, and sexually harasses every woman he meets until a female co-anchor Christina Applegate who joins the team puts him in his place.

You always have to keep an eye on it. It really was a time of booze and cigarettes.
