Watch Every Punch, Slug, and Swat in Our Coen Brothers Slapstick Supercut

In the new Coen brothers movie Hail, Caesar! (premiering in theaters Friday), George Clooney plays an air-headed ‘50s Hollywood star who gets slapped silly by Josh Brolin’s studio chief. It’s not the first time the filmmaking brothers have whacked and walloped their leading men over the course of their long filmography, as evidenced above by our new supercut of the best of the Coens’ slapstick.

The brothers seem to take particular glee in roughing up Clooney, who gets punctured by a poodle in Intolerable Cruelty and dragged off a moving train in O Brother, Where Art Thou? Among the Coens favorite aggressors: John Goodman, who we see kicking ass and taking names in movies as varied as Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, and The Big Lebowski, where he makes short work of a nihilist with a well-thrown bowling ball. Sometimes the physical comedy in Coen movies doesn’t even require an actual fight: Witness William H. Macy’s battle with a pesky ice scraper in Fargo or Charles Durning’s reckoning with gravity in The Hudsucker Proxy. Watch the clip for these and other Coen-directed hits you won’t want to miss.
