kitchen chaos


I think anyone who has seen - and appreciated "Bad Company" will have to concede that the really high point of the movie is the kitchen fight between
Jake Rumsey (Jeff Bridges) and Drew Dixon (Barry Brown), with the resulting,
infamous "boot soup" scene.

I was especially amused the way the large, genial amoral Rumsey entered the
church lady's home, shambled around her kitchen, stole anything that wasn't nailed down, and stuffed his mouth with pilfered food.

However, the scene turned especially comedic when the supposedly "pious"
Drew Dixon (confronting the other youth, Rumsey, who had slugged him and robbed him) went ballistic, screamed "RAAAAAAAH!" and savagely launched himself
into the much larger Rumsey!

Naturally, a kitchen-annihilating fight ensued, but the funniest (and most
disgusting) business was when Jake Rumsey lost a boot in the melee - and Drew Dixon tossed it into a large pot of soup cooking on the stove! (Jake finally retrieved his boot, emptied the soup inside back into the pot - Yeeeeech! -
then donned the boot with grave dignity...)

What was almost "inspiring" (if one could couch it thusly) was the way the
smaller Dixon kept "taking a licking" at the hands of the larger, stronger Rumsey - but bounced back, trying to take Rumsey apart (and growled like
an angry animal; even Rumsey was impressed by Dixon's moxie, and made him
a member of his gang.)

If you see "Bad Company" for no other reason than the kitchen fight, you'll be well rewarded; that riotous scene is worth the price of the movie itself!
