FUNNIEST PART THAT YOU KNOW IS COMING...


When youve seen a movie already, you know that a scene must be really really funny if you begin to laugh in anticipation of it. That being said, the part of this movie that always has me in stitches as it unfolds is during the start of the baseball game. After the first two pitches of the game, Frank is noticing all of the applause he gets when he calls a strike. At this point, my heart begins to race in anticipation and the chuckling commences. Now I am getting ready for the third pitch. The camera shows a close-up of Frank with a crap-eating grin on his face through the umpire mask. Now I know it's coming... this is when I totally lose it, because I know that in a few seconds, Frank will be calling strike three while the baseball is in mid-flight, and to top it off, he'll be doing the splits and some other great dance moves that John Travolta could not have pulled off in his Saturday Night Fever days. When this is all over, it takes me a while to recover. If anything good happens in the next five minutes, Ill probably never know it, because im always laughing too hard to hear the movie at this point.
Just like to know if anyone else feels the same way about this scene or if anyone else has a similar experience with another part of the movie.

"Momma told me not to come."

"Hey, look! It's Enrico Pallazzo!"

I don't know if I've ever laughed as hard as when I heard that line. (Quick trivia: It was uttered by the same actor who played Frances on "Pee Wee's Big Adventure")

And then how the crowd starts to chant "ENRICO PALLAZZO! ENRICO PALLAZZO!" Just tear enducing laughter for me.

I remember after seeing Naked Gun and going to baseball games with friends, occassionally shouting out that line whenever an umpire walked close by.

My favorite part is when they are discussing what Frank did to the robed actors at the park.

reply

That scene is my favorite as well, though my favorite line in the movie, maybe any movie is:

Mayor: Drebin, I don't want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That's my policy.
Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's *my* policy.
Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of "Julius Caesar", you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.

I love the part where he's supposed to be providing support for Nordberg's wife when Nordberg is in the hospital, and just keeps saying horrible things that make her cry very loudly. "I'm sure he'll be fine, but I wouldn't wait too long to fill out those organ donor cards."

reply

How about the opening scene, with Nordberg storming into the villain presidents gathering and suffering in turn each and every conceivable (or not) house accident after being shot by them? That's a brilliant scene!

We can't be lost; we don't know where we're going.
All that matters is that we're going.

reply

The National Anthem is THE funniest scene, I think. And the whole umpiring feeling up every player, vacuuming the plate, all that stuff. Looking like he's gonna suck the cock of the statue from the girls point of view when he's trying to pull himself up, Nordberg bumping into wet paint and stuff after being shot.
This movie is a riot from beginning to end.

RIP Jean Stapleton. Heaven just got a Dingbat.

And the ONE guy in the gang who surrenders to Nordberg and throws down his gun.

"Pretentious" is a three-syllable word for any thought too big for little minds.

"That's *my* policy."

I use that line to this day when I want to make my brother laugh.

This movie is filled with them!

The banana on the face always gets me chuckling before he flicks it off from above screen.

Use your open eye, Frank.

The obvious OJ dummy flying out of the wheelchair in the last scene. I lost it every time he starts rolling down the stairs.

I don't think its that obvious, actually. Not like the one Montalban is throwing around when he's escorting Jane up the stairs.

Agree to disagree, to me it looked like they made no effort to hide the fact that that was a dummy (Not that I care because it makes that part even more hilarious).

plus the one that flies out of the base ball players scrum just before that scene

"I lose control of bodily functions when Frank starts shooting at his own car. "



That scene is too damned funny! The icing on the cake for me is when the car turns the corner, tires squealing, and drives away.


The first time Frank calls a strike, the way he uses his right hand to (question) call the pitch. (and the 2nd and 3rd strikes just keep the laughs comin'!)


The driving instructor that is always cool and calm with all this crazy stuff happening. "apply the brakes, now put it in reverse..."



Listen! Do you smell something?

One of the funniest movies of all time.

I started laughing a good few minutes before the below, then cried straight after :)


Frank: Ludwig?!
Goon: Drebin!
Frank: Yeah, I'm Drebin!
Goon: I have a message for ya from Vincent Ludwig!
[he fires his gun]
Goon: Take that, you lousy cop!
Frank: I'm sorry! I can't hear ya! Don't fire the gun while you're talking!

reply

Hysterical.

I just read everyone's funniest moments, but only two people touched on the funniest sequence which started with "I Luv you" and ended with (paraphrasing) we won't stop until we get these felons behind bars. Now let's go get lunch.

Funniest sight gag was - police, drop you guns!

Funniest line - I can't hear you when you are firing your gun!

reply

Too many classic scenes.

I can't believe no one mentioned this part!

When Frank is getting information from the guy at the dock and they keep passing the same cash back and forth for their questions. The moment that absolutely kills me is when he asks Frank to spot him a 20, so Frank hands him the one he just gave him, then the guy immediately gives it back in exchange for more info.

Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.

reply

That is classic, Commando. "How about now?" "I don't know if I should." "Now?" Tremendous. Commando is also an excellent movie.



RIP Harold Ramis. You will always be Egon.
