![]() And it was fun.” Murray struck gold with ‘gunga galunga’ and ‘gunga lagunga’Įven if you don’t like Caddyshack, you have to admit Murray’s improvisations were inspired. “I could do something when they turned the camera on - I was wired into what I was talking about. Improvising about golf was easy for me. “I was good back in those days,” he said in Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella. “Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga … gunga, gunga lagunga.”Īs with nearly everything else he said in the movie, Murray improvised that speech. “He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a 10,000-foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier,” he continues. ![]() Spackler didn’t have time to sweat this pairing there was golfing to be done.

Considering Murray came up with most of those lines on the spot, that stands as quite a feat.Īs Ramis pointed out in Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella (2018), Murray’s previous work had prepared him well. More than four decades later, you still hear people quoting lines Murray delivered as out-there groundskeeper Carl Spackler. But Ramis and Murray made every day count. Since he only had a small part in the film, producers had booked Murray for one week. “Live so when your children think of fairness and integrity they think of you.When Bill Murray arrived on the set of Caddyshack (1980), writer-director Harold Ramis knew he wouldn’t have the actor for long. ![]() “Instead of getting angry, nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.” On Instead Of Erecting A Monument ![]() There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.” On Dealing With A Preschooler If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’” On Not Worrying / Being Happy I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. “Every day, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.
