Favorite Scene


Has to be the scene in a quiet college library, full of people studying. A man (who looks A LOT like Robert Trebor) looks around devilishly, smirks, and says TO-MA-TO, then all hell broke loose.

what the OP said and also when the drummer kid walked out. That was something Airplane! would do and this predated Airplane!

However, I saw one thing in the "To-may-to" scene that could have been great and they missed the opportunity. Just before he says it, way in the background out the door you see someone walking in the grass. I think it would have been funny if this person started running as well because he/she was way too far away (and outside) to hear him say it. Oh well.

The "Challenge"-musical number. :)

The entire movie is my favorite scene!

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned: the around-the-campfire-asking-for-ketchup scene, the old couple "It et Timmy all up," the library scene, the soldiers singing/dancing, the teeny-tiny conference room scene .....

But also -- the public service announcement with the blind police officer directing traffic, the fishing kid asking his dog "What is it, Spot? What's in there?" and the dog answers back "Gosh, Billy, I don't know. You stay there, I'll go look!", the car chase scene where the drivers get out and run faster than the actual cars.

I first saw this movie in the early 1980's, have since bought my own copy, and it never fails to make me laugh.

The simultaneous pay phone calls. "Not a he, sir, a she, the strumpet from last night." And the seduction attempt that ensues, ending in the long scream down the hallway.

The scene where the reporter was interviewing the woman about her missing husband. "You will have to find another man you know, you're no spring chicken!"


I'm genuinely convinced that every movie would be better with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it.
