the best line in the movie


I just love it when Cherri Griffiths is harrasing Bo Hopkins, really trying to get a rise out of him, and Hopkins calmly in his dead pan style and southern drawl looks her square in the eye and says: "You know what I think? I think you need a good *beep*

Absolutely floored me! It was so unexpected!

I thought the best line was when Wings Hauser as the entertainment attorney needed to rent a car. After being told to take someone with him to see the town's junkyard dealer Frank he says "If I can handle Twisted Sister, I can handle Frank!"

I just thought they did a greast job with the dialouge, making fun of this pompous guy trying to sound hardcore.

I rented Nightmare from Audio/Video Plus in Houston, Texas. They have almost 7,000 VHS titles for rent (5 for $5 for a week) with an amazing selection of out of print and hard to find titles, especially cult and underground horror, fantasy and sci-fi but they also have art house and other types.

No, I don't work there and this is not a paid plug. As a lover of movies, good and bad, I rent 5 or more a week from them. I highly recommend it to anyone in Houston. This place is what a video store used to be and ought to still be!

Thanks for commenting on my comment. I agree fully with you that the more "off-beat" titles are often the better movies.

I also think that George Kennedy was great in this. He is a terrific but under-rated actor. He really livens-up this picture and all the others he has been in.

Absolutely agree. Regardless of the quality of the script, he always adds a lot of "watchability" to any movie he's in.
