talk about zany action and crazy
contraptions morning Gromit welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten Rube
Goldberg machines in movies for this
list we’re taking a look at over
engineered devices that result in
jaw-dropping chain reactions and which
are usually designed to complete a very
simple job we’ve excluded chain
reactions that happen purely by
coincidence like buzzes first fly in Toy
Story
or the depths in any of the final
destination movies number 10 the whole
movie the way things go
we start our list with perhaps the most
intense machine on the list what do we
mean the other Rube Goldberg machines
that we’ve chosen take only a couple of
minutes to perform their tasks is 1987
short art film however is basically 30
straight minutes of inventive madness
slowly unfolding shot entirely in a
warehouse by Peter fish Lee and David
vice the way things go is a captivating
roller coaster consisting of planks
buckets and too many other objects to
count while there are numerous instances
where you’re simply waiting for
something to burn tip over or blast off
the fill leaves you on edge until its
mystifying conclusion number 9 the
anti-pesto alarm wallace and gromit the
curse of the where rabbit
wallace’s passion for inventing can be
largely attributed to rube Goldberg’s
inspiration almost all of his creations
are excessively convoluted making leeway
for plenty of whimsical stunning and fun
stop-motion animation sequences to that
it getting up in the morning is never a
problem for Wallis as he’s rigged his
house to literally hurl him out of bed
this especially comes in handy for night
calls when Wallace and his dog Gromit
are alerted to a vegetable thief
complete with slides and mechanical
hands this device has the duo dressed
and caffeinated in no time number eight
woodchopper Beauty and the Beast I think
that’s done it now let’s give the truck
a machine such as this could only come
from the mind of crazy old Maurice
although his invention is intended to
make wood shopping simpler the devices
engineering is anything but comprised of
a furnace teapot and axe this boneheaded
contraption looks like a disaster
waiting to happen if there’s one thing
Beauty and the Beast teaches us however
is that it’s not what’s on the outside
that matters it’s what’s on the inside
did it they did it in the case of
maurices hunkajunk it proves more useful
than meets the eye hmm
goodbye papa good luck number 7 the
crosstown Express robots well good luck
in the big city you can make it here you
can make it anywhere the clinking
clattering mechanical world of robots is
a delight to behold in a film full of
imaginative visuals perhaps the most
mind-blowing is Rodney and fenders trip
on the crosstown Express huh
with the essence of a thrill ride
comprised of spare parts
this mechanism launches its passengers
like pin balls into an array of pipes
slide
and hammers it’s a truly exhilarating
sequence made possible through energized
animation granted this mode of
transportation might be a safety hazard
but it still beats getting a taxi during
rush hour number six
breakfast machine flubber up and ready
for a new day
Phillip Brainard’s home is packed with
nifty inventions which he never decides
to patent for some reason that’s one of
the reasons why he’s become a textbook
example of an absent-minded professor
however we would totally buy his
breakfast making machine to fulfill all
of our egg frying pancake flipping and
serving needs
it had actually make breakfast the most
fun meal of the day
of course if Brainerd were ever to
mass-produce this culinary breakthrough
he’d likely put all those hard-working
cooks at IHOP and Denny’s out of a job
morning Weibo number five another
breakfast machine
chitty-chitty bang-bang with a name like
cor ACTA cos pause it shouldn’t come as
a surprise that this guy is an eccentric
inventor who’s dreamed up various wacky
contrivance ‘it’s one of his most
fanciful innovations is another
breakfast machine that utilizes wheels
axles and levers to prepare a basic dish
where Brainard’s breakfast device in
flubber was high-tech this one from
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is more like
something out of an antique shop
it’s old-fashioned appearance adds a
wholesome sentiment to this musical
number as Potts and his children embrace
each other’s company
number four Doc Brown’s inventions the
Back to the Future franchise
although the DeLorean time machine will
always be dr. Emmett L Browns greatest
scientific achievement he also assembles
a number of other quirky apparatuses
throughout the Back to the Future
trilogy
in 1985 he fashions a Rube Goldberg
device to feed his dog and in 1885 he
discovers a revolutionary way to prepare
breakfast with Doc Brown by your side
even making an iced tea is an epic
experience no matter what the time
period you can always count on his
inventions being creative complex and
kooky IP number three automatic gate The
Goonies I use sick of walking all the
way from your front door to your front
gate to let guests in see or not The
Goonies have come up with an automatic
gate opener to cut out the middleman all
you need to manufacture your own is a
bucket string pulleys a bowling ball a
bellows a balloon a hammer a football a
target sprinklers and a chicken ready to
hatch an egg actually it’s kind of
incredible this Rube Goldberg machine is
so functional
of course the true sight to behold in
this scene is the truffle shuffle number
two yet another breakfast machine
pee-wee’s big adventure of all the
breakfast machines on this countdown
this one is by far the screwiest
weirdest and most improbable naturally
the owner of this device is none other
than pee-wee Herman and this thing is
like a brilliant preschooler science
fair project working pinwheels dinosaur
models drinking birds and bills and even
Abraham Lincoln into the madcap mix it’s
impossible not to be overwhelmed with
childhood glee watching this insanity
transpire there’s just one imperative
question that remains where can we get a
box of that mr. t cereal cereal okay
before we set off our top pick here are
some honorable mentions this is great
job Bobby
number one the trap the Great Mouse
Detective dr. Nora professor Ratigan is
so theatrical and extravagant in his
sheer evilness that he can’t just kill
his arch-nemesis after capturing it
he needs to place him in a bombastic
seemingly foolproof mousetrap we set the
trap off now
like many egotistical villains though
rhadigan underestimates how resourceful
basil is multiplied by the square root
of an isosceles triangle in a stroke of
genius the Great Mouse Detective devises
a suicidal escape plan by setting the
trap off early his daring escape is even
more insane than the trap itself making
miss the cleverest funniest and most
thrilling example of Rube Goldberg
machinery in cinema Thank You Rosa

the kids are gonna love it
what’s your favorite Rube Goldberg
machine
