The Jive Turkey scene

It's right up there with any of the great comedic scenes of all time. The writing for that entire scene around the poker table is perfect and the acting was flawless. The dude that plays Lou Redwood does just an amazing job. The way the whole table just freezes and goes silent when "jive turkey" is dropped... I mean you can't help but laugh your ass off. And it's not just that part, it's Jackie opening up with playing drunk and then the Swedish porn and Lou Redwood never being 'Nam.

I have just this scene on my DVR because it is that good. Pop it on once a week for a pick me up.

agreed...best scene in the movie, hillarious scene on its own

it is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it

I love this scene and think it's one of the funniest I've ever seen...but the bear wrestling and aftermath will always be my favorite. "Grab a small child and use it as a shield..." makes me laugh until I cry every time.

I'm not a huge fan of the movie (I do like it though), but that russian roulette scene....I've never laughed harder. The whole scene starting with the insult being taken so ironically seriously, then transitioning into a fun game of Russian roulette....you're just waiting for it to go off. And it does right after he shoots it at his crotch. I could watch this 100 times and crack up uncontrollably each time.
