WAS WHEN THEY PICKED UP THE KOMODO LIZARD AT THE AIRPORT AND TRIED TO BUCKLE IT UP IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE LIZARD WOULDN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT
shareI also liked the part just before that when Leo tells Clark to come with him to get the "package" he was supposed to pick up. Clark says "You don't bring it out?" and Leo says "Not this I don't." The look on Clark's face as he follows Leo saying "Not this I don't? Remember those words" to his roommate is classic. Just one of many very funny scenes in a very funny movie.
shareTrivia:
Matthew Broderick had no idea that Marlon Brando was going to use the walnuts as a prop in the scene where they discuss his job. While waiting for the scene to be shot, Brando cracked the walnuts just enough so they would be easy to break, and then used them in the scene to help generate a more genuine response from Broderick.
I especially like the bit where Tina is telling Clark about why her cousin Victor chose him, and how he likes Clark so much he is getting him a gun permit. Great punchline as she gets in the motor.

1. Any scenes with Fleeber, especially the session where he begins the question linking the Fleeber Treatise Guns and Provolone, Marx' Das Kapital and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.

Also, the cut to the long shot of the parking lot of the shopping mall, with the Komodo suddenly scurrying under a car in the lower left of the composition, always cracks me up.
Id have to say its the part when Clark first meets carmine and he gives him the "Italian coffee" its not like regular coffee it's... (priceless hand gesture)
That whole scene seemed improvised, just look at Bruno Kirby's face when Brando is putting all that sugar into the coffee. He was looking at Brando like he was wondering what he was doing and he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Brando is the best, and he really shows his greatness in that scene.
When I first saw it on the Disney Channel back in 1992 or 1993, I thought the funniest scene was when the komodo dragon got loose in the mall, even going up the elevator and into the kiddie pool, causing all kinds of panic. XD
shareI loved the chase scene in the mall and we hear in the background, "Will the owner of the reptile please report to the information counter?" over and over again in the same type of voice.
