''I Almost have to rape her just to have sex'' HILARIOUS!!!


Not that rape is funny but just the way he says it.lol

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I haven't seen this movie since I was in high school back in the late 80's when this movie came out and I still remember that scene like it was yesterday. It's not so much the line itself, rape is clearly not funny, but it's the way Esai Morales says that line. You can hear his frustration and that accent of his. He does it brilliantly. He and Lou should have been nominated for this film.

Esai Morales stole the film from under Lou Diamond Phillips. He really carried that role and ran with it.

I think if anyone would have been nominated for any award (Golden Globe or Academy Award), it would have been Esai Morales

I agree. He put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into that character. The stuff he does throughout the film has a a lot of levels that he plays out successfully.

WAS IT "LEGITIMATE RAPE" LIKE THAT F-KING IDIOT AKIN THINKS EXISTS???? Some Republicans are so incredibly retarded, that they believe all kinds of bull crap.

And MOST Democrats think it's ok to kill babies. What's your point?

Well, getting back to the film, I'll bet Bob-O's wife/GF doesn't think its funny, and I don't either, as it reminds me of the worst stereotypes about Hispanic males.

reply

Bob wasn't very politically correct.

One of the funniest lines was after Rosie tells him she's pregnant he says "is it my fault you got pregnant?!" Ha!

Another funny line was: "Hey, my dad wasn't around when I was born... Why should I be? HAHAHA

reply

One more funny line, when Ritchie's mom said: "She had a girl. We named her Brenda." What??? :-)

reply

One more regarding the blessed event -

"It ain't my first, or my last".....

Words every woman wants to hear when she tells her guy that they are having a baby haha...

I really like your car Mrs. Larusso!

Actor Esai Morales was actually accused of raping his ex-girlfriend, but was not charged with the crime.



Actor Morales Won't Face Charge of Rape

LOS ANGELES — No criminal charges will be filed against "NYPD Blue" star Esai Morales over allegations that he raped his ex-girlfriend, a prosecutor's office spokeswoman said Friday.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office rejected the case on Feb. 13, citing lack of evidence, spokeswoman Shiara M. Davila said.

"I'm happy that my client was vindicated," Morales' attorney, Richard Charnley, said Friday. "He was never questioned by the police, never taken into custody, there were never any charges brought against him."

Morales' former girlfriend, Elizabeth Mazzocchi, alleged that he raped her in April 2006. Morales has denied committing any crime, Charnley said. He also noted that Mazzocchi continued to live with Morales for months after the alleged rape.

The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted, but Mazzocchi has been very public with her allegations, including the holding of a news conference to detail accusations against Morales.

Mazzocchi has sued Morales in Los Angeles County Superior Court for unspecified damages, contending he raped her and gave her herpes. The lawsuit is awaiting trial.

"She stands by her allegations, absolutely," said Nader Pakfar, an attorney representing Mazzocchi in the civil case.

Pakfar said an investigation for the civil case may uncover additional evidence that might convince the district attorney's office to file criminal charges.

The DA had a very limited investigation and did not have the benefit of any of the evidence that's going to come out, he said.

Morales, 45, appeared in the movies "Bad Boys" and "La Bamba," and played Lt. Tony Rodriguez on "NYPD Blue."

I thought it was great because the whole movie is kind of unintentionally hilarious in how it exaggerates (hopefully) Bob's character. Basically they make him seem like the most unlikeable person ever haha.

reply

What's worst is Bob is telling this to Ritchie.

Ritchie and Rosie were dating at the start of the movie. Then Bob took Rosie from Ritchie and popped her cherry while Ritchie was singing at his sister's birthday party.

Bob, what a guy!

reply

The reason so much of this story focuses on Bob and his shrewdness is to emphasize how kindhearted and naive to the ways of the world that Ritchie is, and we're talking about the ways of the world in 1950s, where such domestic rape cases were much more common.
