When Johnny unplugs the runway lights and when Otto is getting blown.

Oh and, "I take it black, like my men. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not that that's visual, but still one of my favorite parts.

The rushing reporters/telephone booth-fall over gag was also good.

I wonder how many takes it took to get that right!

[–] Redsfan001 (6144) 2 months ago

Hopefully 29.

A extended cut of the bloopers on this movie would have been great.

The shit hitting the fan. It's an often used phrase, but to see it visualized was hilarious. Especially the implementation that they used.

"Johnny, what do you make of this?" *hands him the paper*
"Of this? Well, I can make a hat, a broach, a pterodactyl..." *snatches paper back*
