'Yeah, Mutha!' and other silly scenes, people and stuff in 'Stanley'


I just remembered another favorite funny scene(or two) where Craile and Bob are tracking and tell "Psycho" to take it easy and find something constructive to do while he waits. "Psycho" just flips them the bird and grins saying "yeah mutha!.... Yeah, Mutha!"

Other favorite quotes:

Bob: ...(referring to "Psycho") He's probably been on the moon long before the astronauts ever were!
*****************
Suzie: (To father, Mister Thompkins) The only gap between us is right here... in YOUR HEAD!

---------------------------------

This movie would have been great fodder for the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" show!

* Remember the scene before the opening title,where Tim is bitten on the leg by a rattlesnake he is about to collect? Don't you just love how he carefully holds one hand up to distract the snake( like some snake experts do, with a cobra) and then very casually grabs it behind the head?!

this whole movie is full of hilarious lines and characters

thomkins - "some fag fashion desginer over in paris publicly, he publicly said animal skins are in now. do you know what that means boy?"

"crail! you got two eyes boy you wanna try for none?!"

(about susie) "you screw her your screwing me too you understand?"



and the way that Bob talks in this movie just make whatever he says funny too.

I almost died laughing the first time I watched this. Im torn between the scene where the girl who's father Stanley just murdered, makes out with Stanley. Then the ridiculous slow motion, jumping into a snake infested pool, sequence. Sigh, classic.

And now Im being followed by rocks
Your arms off!No it isnt.
Worst pies in London!

oops, I forgot, the guys name is Tim, not Stanley... sorry about that!

And Alex Rocco "exercising" with one pound weights was hilarious. And the security guard listening to the story about the dead family, and realizing that he's talking about snakes.

This one was quite a pleasant surprise.

I forget the exact quotes but I love the scene where Suzie argued with her father talking about how if he gets in bed with multiple partners he's considered a swinger whereas she's considered a tramp.

But my favorite is during one point where Suzie says something about having sex in the backseat of a car and it seems very random and unexpected. I said "What the *beep*?" and then started to laugh. The dad was such a sleazy pervert.

it's because she mentioned craile, her daddy's henchman

The freeze frame of Alex Rocco jumping into the swimming pool full of snakes was absolutely priceless.
