I loved his character in this movie. From the "Say it again!" to "Tickle your a** with a feather?".

Genius... Pure genius

I agree. He was great. Why did he have his name removed from the credits?

Leibman was embarrassed by this flick and demanded his name be removed. I remember this fact from when the movie came out because it was the first time I had heard of an actor doing this.

They weren't his friends anymore.

Watched this when it came out (I was 11yo). Never forgot "Tickle your ass with a feather?" Ron Leibman was hilarious, don't blame him for taking his name off the credits, though. This is, as I recall, pretty juvenile flick. I remember I thought it was funny.

He was pretty good, considering the film wasn't a masterpiece. Actually, if I had been there, I would've just obeyed him.

Why be embarrassed ? His performance was comic genius !

He just didn't like the film, that's all. After he saw a preview, he demanded his name be removed. Actors do that sometimes.
