to name a better pie fighting scene

"The Great Race" features the BEST pie fighting scene! Nothing is better than that! Well, some are as close, I guess....

Hapnick: YOU! You're the cause of it all. It was your idea!
General: No. No, Your Highness. It was Baron von Stuppe...
Hapnick: I don't care! I don't care! You're banished! I'm getting a new tucker-inner. Banished. Banished. Banished.


LEGENDARY!

You got me there dave. None better. And I have seen a lot of them. This was a great movie.

Pie scene at the end of "Blazing Saddles" comes close ---
clearly a loving tribute to the "Great Race" pie scene.

I remember seeing a pie fight scene in the little rascals that I loved. The pie fight scene in The Great Race blows that away. It is my favortie part of the film. I own the soundtrack to the film and the song playing during that scene is called "Pie in Face Polka". Great scene, great music, great movie.

Ohhh brandy! Throw more brandy!

Rum! I never mix my pies!

Natalie was so incredibly hot and gorgeous in this scene. I think she gets a pie in the bosom and maybe even one of the rear.

All while Tony Curtis strolls around, impeccably untouched, of course.

Those last two posts were the main reason the scene is a classic!

In case anyone forgot, this was reported as the largest PIE FIGHT ever filed and was even covered by Life magazine. And did anyone notice that Tony Curtis (The Great Leslie) was not only spotlessly clean and perfectly groomed always wore White. So when he finally gets hit by a pie, the pie is WHITE.

Nope, you win...best pie fight ever!!!

According to most online sources, they used 2,357 pies. I wonder how many takes it took to get it right?

EPIC PIE FIGHT! This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I would love to have been there for it!

reply

it may not have been better, but the one in Bugsy Malone was a lot of fun. I understand that there was also one hellacious pie fight in Dr. Strangelove, but it was omitted from the final release.

what i would have given to be in that scene
