Funniest Moment of the Movie!


Check out when the blonde woman jumps out the window towards the end of the movie. You want a hysterical laugh, still it and go frame-by-frame as she flies by the camera and falls to the ground.

That has to be the ugliest doll ever made for any Hollywood movie! :-D

We were crying with laughter!!!

I thought the funniest moment was when that guy got "hit" by the car. It just drives by him really fast and he falls down and goes to sleep.

Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.

SPOILERS!!!

1) The piano player who laughed insanely as he puffed the reefers always seems to make me smile. What a groovy stoner nutjob!

2) Right before Jimmy runs over the old man, he's all kinds o' baked when he says, "Let's go, Jack... I'm red hot!"

Cheers...

Hands down:
"Are you insane?! You're going 40 miles per hour! You're going to kill someone!"

I'm going to agree with the other two people who have posted so far. The old guy getting hit was hilarious, as was the "I'm red hot!" line.

"I know what you want. You want to kill ME!" I love how he puts the emphasis on "ME!" instead of "kill". Gold.

Oh, and of course, after Bill kills Jack, the bad acting of the woman who calls the police, who actually continues saying her lines as she's already hanging up the phone! Not to mention that she doesn't even tell the police the address, only the apartment number.

Personally, I love the line about the kid who killed his entire family with an ax...because he was addicted to marijuana. :-) haha

reply

The axe line 'killed' me, too. HA HA HA

My wife and I think the "faster...FASTER" piano scene is great!

And the last courtroom scene where Ralph is INSANE because of addiction to the narcotic killer weed. I like the dark circles under the eyes of anyone who is addicted to dope. It reminds me of the old 'Dick Tracy' strip where all the underworld characters were depraved and had the circles under their eyes.

When I saw this movie stoned, just looking at the piano player in the soda shop. But, the pedestrian getting run over was hilarious whether stoned or not.

reply

Well there was the very beginning when weed was said to be worse than coke and heroin and also the comment brought up by mrflawless.

reply

i think the part were that dealer? or whatever guy is like "theyre gonna hang him!" and runs to the joint, as if its heroine.

reply

The funniest parts for me were all of the scenes showing the blonde guy (Jack, I think) getting high. He looked like a complete nutjob, all wild eyed and laughing uncontrollably!

The funniest part for me was when the jury foreman stared at the swinging lamp string, and it becomes a swinging noose.

The funniest part for me was when the juror stared at the swinging lamp string, and it becomes a swinging nooze.

This was one of my favorite lines:

Bureau Official: Here is an example: A fifteen-year-old lad apprehended in the act of staging a holdup - fifteen years old and a marijuana addict. Here is a most tragic case.
Dr. Carroll: Yes. I remember. Just a young boy... under the influence of drugs... who killed his entire family with an axe.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
