Goldie, at the very end, imitates the black guys doing that beat sound by imitating an ape. It was right at the very end of the credits. I'm surprised this wasn't considered racist.
shareI noticed that too but i didnt think too much about I think she was really trying to beatbox
shareYou guys are too funny. She wasn't imitating an ape. She was imitating Finch. When Finch was doing his rap, he was doing his "Ape sound". She was trying to do what he was doing.
sharei am not "too funny", because i dont think it's racist, i just thought that left wing hollywood would think so, but the nineties is when everything got extra knee jerky
shareYeah, you just answered your own question there... it wasn't until after the 80's that every single thing a person said or did was considered racist, sexist or homophobic.
Opinions are just onions with pi in them.
um, that wasn't an ape noise. that was beat boxing, a staple of 1980s rap.
shareThe late Darren Robinson of the 80s rap group The Fat Boys, along with Doug E. Fresh, originated this style of beat-boxing. The group itself was considered a novelty act as was their original use of vocal percussion as rhythm, but here we are 30 years later and beat-boxing is a global form of musical expression. I think it's safe to say with Tab Thacker's Finch character closely resembling "Buffy" and this movie coming out a year after Krishna Groove, the similarity is NOT coincidental. Does it seem incongruous when a petite, white woman like Goldie Hawn attempts to beatbox after she'd just been singing the word "football!" in a girly, breathy voice? Maybe. Does it seem RACIST? Only if you choose to perceive it that way.
shareThinking she was imitates an ape is a racist mind set.
Football!!!
WE weren't that racist yet --- Obama, the start of the current racist trend, wasn't even thought of in 1986, HE was running some other con
shareTrue. Obama brought upon this hyper focus on race this reintroducing a new form of racism. It’s tragic as I thought he was going to improve race relations. Disappointing
shareThe sound itself was made famous by The human beatbox of The Fat Boys. He was verbally mimicking the sound of a record scratching. You can hear it in the 20 seconds here.

What we have here is a parody of a parody. The end credits themselves are a parody of The Chicago Bears Super Bowl shuffle.

Much like a game of telephone, eventually you get the end with someone just imitating sounds without knowing why they were doing it. It doesn’t make them racist.
Besides that part looks like an out take that they left in.
