Little things in the movie that make you laugh?


1. The way the fat bouncer begins to leap over the bar (?!) after yelling "Jesus Christ!"
2. The way the waitress leads Jeff Healey out after Wade Garrett shows up. He can't see the aftermath off the fight, and he can't contribute in any other way to say: "Gentlemen, Wade Garrett!"
3. Brad Wesley randomly three-wheeling on his lawn.
4. "Dig a hole."

5. When the bad guys intercept the liquor delivery, Dalton is kicking their asses, but the biggest dude in the group is smashing cases of alcohol instead of fighting.
6. After Red's exploded, several fire fighters grabbed their hose and started to charge toward the blaze when an ambulance sped past at high speed and cut them off.

This is the best! Where's that amberlamps going???

reply

When Cody shakes Dalton's hand & says "Damn Glad to see ya"

2) The fact Cody is wearing a wristwatch.

reply

The guy dancing in jeans and hi-tops with no shirt on up near the front of the stage. He was just having a hell of a good time.

Also the way the guy says "really" after that dude asks if he wants to kiss the girls breasts. Worst acting job ever for a single line.

Dalton sleeps in the nude

Wesley mentioning how JC Penny is coming to Jasper because of him

Wesley calling his grandfather an *beep* when Dalton just told him he looks like an important man.

reply

When they have the fight in the bar after the bad guys are in the owners office. After winning the fight, the owner looks at Dalton and holds up his fist like, "Yeahhhh!!!!" like he was Dalton, Jr.

Terry Funk getting canned and getting his butt kicked. I dunno, just funny to see Terry Funk, all the years in wrestling, as a bad guy. If they had only had The Nature Boy Ric Flair as a bad guy!!!!! He could have gotten kicked a few times, did a very loud WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!, and then flopped on the ground like he always does.

reply

Yeah, for me the best part is that the whole thing seems to center around Wesley's evil, and then we find out his evil plot is to build a J.C. Penney.

reply

Shirtless dancing guy always cracks me up.

Blind people do wear wristwatches. They have Braille faces.

"It's not the money you understand, but if I don't charge you something, the Presbyterians around here are likely to pray for my ruination! How does $100 a month strike you?"
"Fine."
"You can afford that much?"
"If it keeps you in the good graces of the church."
"Ain't it peculiar how money seems to do that very thing!"

My favorite line is when three thugs return to Wesley's, beaten up. Wesley stands on the porch, smiles, walks down the stairs, shrugging and says,
"Did I explain it wrong?"



reply

Jeff Healy was really blind and they do make watches in braille, *beep*

reply

How about...

-When Red's is on fire, and you see Dalton running out like crazy and towards the store, you think... what the heck is he going to do to the blaze...!?!?

-When Kelly Lynch (Doc) is mad and yell's "You think you're gona save the town from him, well, who's gona save him from you...!?".. such baaaaddd acting...!

-Dalton being a mega smoker, and can still kick ass, someone who smokes that much shouldn't even be that fit..!




Sex is like a game of cards, if you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand!

reply

Tell that to Vin Diesel. How do you think he got that voice?

reply

- Dalton holding the dude's leg with the razor blade and still finding time to tough-talk: "You're too stupid to have a good time!" Then proceeds to drag him outside... LOL

- The annoying-ass waitress singing "Knock On Wood"... TERRIBLE lip-synching.

reply

Yeah, that didn't make laugh, though. I wanted to chuck a full bottle of Ripple into her skull.

Oh, wait, you said "annoying-ass waitress". Yes that she was.

How about the cross-eyed guy in the beginning of the movie who is watching one of the first fights and giggling like an idiot until he gets hit in the head with a bottle?

reply

"opinions vary"

reply

And the dude's reaction after Dalton comes back with that line...priceless! Like he can't figure out if he's just been insulted or what.

When the bad guy Jimmy during fight uses a billard stick as a Pole Vault Pole.

The attitude of the girl when she and one of the bouncers got busted shagging in the back room.

Any fight scenes with Wade, the guy is old as *beep* but still manages to woop asses of any of the gorillas .

The coin toss :))

Jazz flute is for little fairy boys

reply

I always got a chuckle out of the way the fat bouncer said "Got it", after Dalton points out the blade on Ketchum's right boot.

reply

are you guys serious, this thread is on the second page and no has said " I use to f--- guys like you in prison.

reply

Yep, that's the best. Such a weird encounter. Imagine the script outline:

A man blows up a farm and escapes on a motorcycle. Dalton jumps on him. The man beats up Dalton while aggressively flirting with him. Dalton rips out the man's throat.


reply

It's been mentioned many times, but the girl using a Sears credit card for an ID.

reply

After the brawl when Dalton and the bouncers drag Ketchum (and his right boot with the knife) and his crew outside and as they are walking back in you can hear in the background some redneck old bastard yell "Damn good fight!!"

reply

First, let me say that I love the movie - so bad it's good... blah blah blah.

With that said... Oh man - where do I start?

--- Morgan and his pants around his ankles as he and another thug are playing swingy-poo with the whore before they toss her into the water.

--- Morgan's totally gay boots as he spreads his legs while shooting at Dalton's unoccupied Mercedes coming at them.

--- Pat (the bartender) dry-humping the air while shooting his 12-gauge at said Mercedes

--- The fact that they re-enact Murphy's death from Robocop at the same proximity and body parts weren't flying off of Wesley.

--- Tinker and his general fatness

--- "We've been looking everywhere for you". Really, dipsh!t? I'm living across the river from your boss so how hard have you been looking?
