i have to agree with you. i watched that movie as a kid and twenty years later i still remember "wolfmans got nards". i was super excited to find this movie on DVD.
shareSame here... It is the only line I remember, and I still laugh like hell at it. In the DVD insert that I have, there is a note from the director and at the end it says "PS- Wolman's STILL got nards!"
shareAs a kid, when I first watched The Monster Squad, it would have to have been "Wolfman's got nards".
I just bought the 20th Anniversary Edition this week. After watching it, I noticed something really powerful in the movie that I never picked up those many years ago.
Horace: Man, you sure know alot about monsters.
Scary German Guy: Now that you mention it...I suppose I do.
As "SGG" closes the door to his home, the camera reveals (tattooed on his left forearm) his prisoner ID number...
Truly powerful.
I agree. Very powerful. As with you, I did not recognize/understand this until I saw the film when I was older. Interesting that they would put this in a film marketed towards kids...forward thinking,perhaps?
WOLFMANS GOT NARDS?! still a classic all these years later
@ajakashyyyk
yes I totally agree. VERY powerful scene and after seeing this movie as an adult, it's the part that stays with me long after the credits roll.
I also love the scene towards the end when they all meet up before getting to the square and they are all frantic and scary german guy says "maybe we should all go back to my place, for some pie" for some reason that always has me rolling. but my favorite line has to be:
"um shawn, maybe we could be like math squad instead you know? do math problems, stay home...
or nature squad, we could look at rocks, collect birds, not be dead. see it's the whole death thing I'm not crazy about"
fat kid got all the really funny lines. R.I.P
"Zombies, exploding heads, creepy-crawlies... and a date for the formal. This is classic, Spanky"
I had no idea he died and of pneumonia. That's f'd up. He was only 22. How does a 22 year old man die of pneumonia in this day and age. Must have been some other things going on to make it so bad that he couldn't recover from that.
shareUnfortunately, it happens. I just found out, tonight, that he had passed away.
Your opinion of me doesn't define who I am.share
My favorite-
Rudy walks towards Dracula's Brides holding his bow and arrow
"Where you going!?"
Rudy (still walking, without turning around, cigarette hanging from mouth)
"I'm in the Goddamn club, aren't I?"
as a kid, that was a great "bad ass" moment.
Another great one:
Sean -"Hey a$$hole!"
Wolfman turns around.
Sean - "You looked."
WHAM! Smacks his furry ass. CLASSIC.
Rudy (still walking, without turning around, cigarette hanging from mouth)
"I'm in the Goddamn club, aren't I?"
as a kid, that was a great "bad ass" moment.
As an adult nearly 30 years after watching this for the first time I STILL think it's a bad ass moment!

I always felt "Wolf Man's got nards" was a little overrated. I always thought one of the best lines was the "My name is Horace" bit with the shotgun. I could probably come up with some even better ones now though, if I rewatched the film with that purpose or really sat and tried to remember.
shareyou always felt that way? most fans saw it when they were around 10 years old, so overrated wasn't really in their vocabulary at the time.
Besides, if Wolfman's got Nards isn't a good line, why the hell would you pick My name is Horace? it's just as cliche and shallow, but not as funny.
Whether or not the actual word "overrated" was in my vocabulary at the time, and it probably was, one is still capable of feeling that something is overrated. Even a little kid can feel that something is being given more credit than it is due.
As for the line, I simply disagree. I find it funnier. It was all in the delivery (as to why it was funny), but what bugged me about the nards line was that: A. Why the heck would a kid think the Wolf Man didn't have nards? And B. Why does every movie have to come up with its own slang words and act like everyone uses them? I don't ever recall kids referring to balls as "nards". Nads, yes, but never nards.
They probably come up with slang like that because every group of kids has their own words that they use for things. It adds a sense of realism and is not a far fetch to think that a group of kids like that would have their own slang for the male genitalia that no one else would be using regularly. Hell, my friends and I are always coming up with new words for things.
Anyway, back on topic, my personal favorite was the "I'm in the goddamn club, aren't I?" Just loved the delivery on that one.

It's a fantastic movie, with some great lines in it.
My own personal favourite is 'I'm in the god-damned club, aren't I?'
However the best line in movie history for me, is from Braindead (Dead Alive I think in the States) :
Father McGruder : 'I kick arse for the Lord! '
Brilliant.
Yeah, that line was awesome too. Oh, Peter, why couldn't you just stick to movies you were good at making! I remember my brother wearing a belt around his head pretending to hold his brains in!
shareI was 7 when that film came out. We never, ever, ever used the word "Nard". Our term was simply "nuts."
shareThat was good but I thought when Rudy went to fight the Brides of Dracula and he so cooly walks from the group and says:
'What?! I'm Part of the group ain't I?'
Cinematic gold.

I concur. I'm weeping at the memory of it now.
