Mel Smith was such a talent. Great sketch show guy in my childhood, solid director of this and The Tall Guy, his company Talkback was responsible for so much of our great British comedy of the late 1990s like Alan Partridge, Big Train and Brasseye before being sold off. A sadly missed talent

I have never laughed so hard as when they revealed the pencil drawing he tried to replace the face with after trying to fix it. It’s one of those scenes that I can just think about and still laugh at, even now.
Now I need to find a VHS player so that I can watch my copy.

I never saw the film but I remember seeing the trailer as a kid with voiceover guy saying ‘BEAN, THE ULTIMATE DISASTER MOVIE!’

God the reveal of the painting after its fixed killed me at 7 years old haha
This was a surprisingly intense scene watching it as a kid. And then they revealed the “edit” and I don’t think my Dad stopped laughing for about five minutes

“Mr. Bean destroys America’s greatest painting”
Sure, “Whistler’s Mother” is great and all, but I think Nighthawks is better.

Howard Goodall was asked to compose music for a Mr. Bean movie, and rather than take the paycheque and put together some half-assed basic 90s comedy soundtrack, he put out one of the [all-time movie piano bangers.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n78rcVoIr8&list=RD7n78rcVoIr8&start_radio=1)
I watched this so many times as a kid.
