Something like this:
Rampling - "Actually, whales are monogamous."
Harris = "Monogamous? What's that?"

They try to portray harris' character as illiterate (can't even say Mythology)...this would definitely get some laughs at a revival theater screening, no doubt.
The saddest line is when they are in the boat heading north.
We hear the whale through the sonar.
Rachel (Charlotte Rampling) asks what the whale is saying ...
"I am you, he said"
"You are my drunk driver"

Harris throws down his weapons and says something like "It's got to be a fair fight, me against him." Okay, 5-ton cetecian against (crazy) 150-lb human ... I bet on the whale, regardless of home-ice advantage. Fair fight, eh?
sharelol, a legendary film
Pefection in darkness
'something hit us' You just have to give it up for Oscar Wilde like wordplay of that caliber! I still can't decide if I wasted the hour and a bit I spent watching the movie, the fact I am posting about it on the internet suggests it was not a waste of time. Tis definitely up there with Mike Mendez' Killers for just pure weirdness.
sharenah I think the CRUNCH for when the whale bites the blonde bitches leg off was classic
share"You can commit a sin against a blade of grass."
Hilarious.
You don't think when Orca uses his fin to throw Harris off the ice is the funniest thing in the film?....that had me peeing on the floor, so unintentionally funny, I cried.
shareWhat was so funny aboyt that?
I think most people didn't realise how realistic this movie was.
I've studied killer whales. They DO know vengeance, a killer whale COULD kill a human being with it's fin.
I really think people are to busy trying to bad mouth this movie while comparing it to Jaws, while it's a totally different movie.
Yes, probably it was made beceause of the succes of Jaws, but it's a totally different movie.
As far as we know, sharks can't think. But as we know Killer whales CAN think, they even have a bigger brain then humans do.
So pie your pants all you want, it's pretty realistic what you see in this movie.
If you want to pie, whatch Jaws. That movie has a lot of things going one that no shark in real life would or could do. (Allthough I love the first 2 Jaws movie!!)
The first poster had the right idea. There are lines that are funny when you think about it (and others just plain good).
For those saying the movie was funny for such "knee-slapping," comical moments of young woman getting her leg bit off, or a man getting smashed against a wall of ice, you have me shaking my head (not that you care).
Making fun of this movie to me is like making fun of "The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)" after watching for the first time today. I saw Orca at the theater in '77. I was a young boy and fairly overwhelmed. And I can tell you (because I was there) nobody laughed during the show. Even the "rib-busting," laugh-out-loud scene of the fetus screaming as it hit the deck surprisingly brought gasps not giggles.
Harris "I dont even see a great white Flounder!!""
also the indian talking about what his ancesters would have done.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the scene near the end where Richard Harris goes down below in the boat, Charlotte Rampling is in bed, and she says, "Come. I'll warm you."
shareJust out of curiosity since I've never seen the movie, and it doesn't really matter, but do they ever mention that killer whales aren't in the whale family? They're dolphins that can kill whales.
shareyes "come ill warm you" was funny
shareI did not find that line funny. It drove home how Nolan did not try to gain knowledge of things and how this very thing was part of why he did what he did to the whale.
