This Scene Cracks Me Up Every Time


When the car gets pi$$ed off & starts doing doughnuts outside the cemetery. Just the way it quickly spins around & around like a dog chasing its tail makes me chuckle.

Someone should take that scene and dub in Curly going "Woo woo woo woo woo!!!"

It alternately makes my skin crawl & makes me chuckle when The Car does this.

I kept thinking that it was like a person having a tantrum, which I guess this is what it was doing!


"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

reply

Exactly! Tantrum is what I thought.

Kind of like when Leatherface randomly twirls his chainsaw in the air for no reason at all whenever he is upset.

Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!

reply

Yes, the car is mad like a spoilt brat who couldn't get his own way. It really is a comical sequence. And the silly old cow at the end who yells "cat poo" and shakes her fist in the air really cracked me up.

reply

I'm surprised that "cat poo" quote hasn't gone viral yet. Perfect delivery.

"Don't tell me your little problems son, all I'm interested in is results."

The thing is, only a minute earlier the old girl was hiding behind a gravestone and sitting on her haunches and *beep* in her knickers out of fear while the car was revving up and burning rubber like mad. Then the young teacher who later will be killed by the car as a revenge for this starts taunting it when it is obvious that the bastard can't get into the graveyard. ONLY then the fat lazy old cow slowly comes out of her shell, stands up and suddenly swells like a peacock and shakes her indignant fist at the car a couple of times.
This is what kills me.
She was just a prop hired to deliver a silly punch line.


reply

Yeah, I think that footage was sped up.
