How good was the Nazi Scene?! (Spoilers)


I just finished watching the movie and immediately went back to watch the scene in the pyramids with the Nazis. That was, by far, my favorite scene (apart from the chicken-throwing fight).

I loved the whole Colonel von Umsprung discussion ("oui,voila,voila! Bel mission."), ripping the flag (oh, sh*zer!), and the "I love being rubbed with oil" mocking.

But what had me giggling like a little girl was the hating of Loktar ("Shut up Loktar! Shut up or I'll shut you up! You're tolerated here-barely tolerated!")

What was everyone's favorite scene? Great movie. GREAT movie.

Everything with the Nazis. Richard Sammel's amazing and funny (I'd like to see the cut scenes and outtakes of the film! I wonder if anything was longer). Second place is everything with the chickens, especially the lights. Oh, and not to be forgotten, but the part when OSS gets angry at the Muezzin is hilarious.

The Nazi Scene is also my favourite scene :

_ "Un grand brun... Sympathique !"

I also like the scene where Hubert talks to the Egyptian official:

_ "Si les européens n'étaient pas là... S'agirait de grandir..."


I also like the muezzin scene, the "gratin cairote" joke, etc...

The WHOLE movie is great, I love everything about it.



Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you.

For me it was the scene where he was dancing alone right after dancing with Larmina and where he was dressed up in the fez hat and singing and dancing. He just looks so self satisfied when he dances. Even though he's not very good, the way he looks when he does it makes you believe he thinks he is, haha.

I liked that stupid scene where he chases the hooded assassin into the streets, but stops to do an over the top spy-chase dramatic action pose at every single junction, which unsurprisingly leaves him miles behind and basically ...completely lost. That is such a dumb but simple gag.
