I don't know why, but Sellers doing the "Salty Swedish Seadog" scene completely cracks me up. I don't know if it's the blow-up parrot, the hilarious accent or the expressions on his associate's face but it always makes me laugh!!

Does anyone know if he's actually speaking any Swedish or if he's spouting gibberish?

Yes! I showed this scene to my 11 year old son (who loves crazy accents, I've been furthering his education with MP and the Holy Grail ) and he totally cracks up every time we watch it. He wants to rent the dvd (I have an old copy taped on VHS from probably 20 years ago) so we can read the closed captioning for that scene. We want to know if any real Swedish is being spoken or if it's just gibberish. We recently rented The PP Strikes Back, another classic. (Pardon me, does your doeg bite?)

Don't vurry Hedo! It's only an old Salty Svedish Seadog, out dare from da salty seas, you knoew!

Many line-en in de han-da

Pump-en de air-en in de parrot-en

Naughten birden

My favorite scene and line comes towards the end in the hotel room when he is dressed as The Godfather and he is leaving with a suite case. The New York contact he is leaving with says: " 15 million Franks and no bodygaurd?" to which Sellars replies in a high pitched New York accent" Hey hey I take care of my body and my body takes care of me hey hey!" Then he turns and punches the wall as he's leaving the room and you see him shake his hand furiously and grab it because he punched it to hard.ROFL

After he says "Naughten Birden"....what is the line after that??? I can not make it out, but I love that whole scene...

"Swine Leg"

knowing the writers, gibberish.

I have this one on DVD. The Spanish language dub actually translates what PS is saying as he reads Dreyfus's palm, though the captions do not.

reply

[–] CanaDman 18 years ago

Actually, it was Fernet (played by Alfie Bass) who was having his palm read...I have wondered myself what he was saying - hopefully MGM/UA will rectify this issue on future DVDs.

It's probably just me, but my nr. 1 Clouseau-line is in this movie, where he "reveals his true identity":

"Embrace yourself for what I am about to tell you"
"I am none other than [deep breath] ~cHlAff inspector Jacques Clouseau"

Best lines?
"I am not your ordinary, run of the mill transvestite"

"So, as a tribute to my memory you open this Chinese nookie factory!"

reply

[–] glenwhip 18 years ago

"And you too" (Looks at Valerie Leon's chest)
"You two should be ashamed of yourselves!"

And the scene in the asylum when Andrew Sachs says he is Clouseau:-

"That man is obviously crazy"
"We don't use that word round here"
"Well what word do you use?!"
"Now, now"
"That man is obviously very Now Now!"

Anyway, you have nothing to fear.

Oh yes I do,

No, No, you see I am an officer of the "Law"

"The Law?"

"You said, you were an officer of the law?"

Yes, that is correct.

Stuck between 2:

"Sixteen chests on a dead man's rum, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of the chest..."

&

"Special delivery, a beum! Were you expecting one?... A beum? AUUGGHGHHG!"

(Actually, make it 3:

Dreyfus: "Gasp!"
Clousea: "Peek-a-boo.")

I think the whole movie was great but for me the stand out line was when he was in the "Chinese nookie factory" and he gets dragged off the madam smiles and says
Another round eye bites the dust
That had me in hysterics then in a later scene when he is talking to Cato he stands to close to the fan and something about groin height hits it where he then jumps back (this is after the bondage mistress"

reply

[–] sgmailer 17 years ago

For me, it was when he was dressed as the Godfather.

"Spaghettini to Al Pacino"

"Viva zapata"

A few years back my brother, some friends and I were in a hotel room (in town for a rock festival) and one of the guys comes out of the bathroom with leather pants on, no shirt, gut hanging out and lipstick/eyeliner on. He walks up to my brother and puts on a Renaissance Festival-esque Metrosexual voice: "I am the Roman Conqueror. Kneel so I may conquer you!" My brother's straight faced comeback without missing a beat: "What else does he deau?" HAR-LARIOUS!!!
