Bruno dropping the lighter down the drain was hilarious


Every time I watch this movie, this scene makes me laugh. I love how he's sweating profusely and has a whole crowd of people around him.

It looks a bit sweaty in there so you may need to apply baby powder Zapp Brannigan

hahaa yes. love it

Yes. And he can barely reach the lighter when it’s on the ledge but still manages to get it when it falls further.

Haha! Yes, totally unrealistic! Brings to my mind the scene in Houdini (1953) when Houdini’s hand reaches out to untie the straitjacket!
