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.

I'm paraphrasing, but "Maybe to somebody else that doesn't amount to a hill of beans, Jane, but this is our hill and these are our beans". I laugh pretty hard whenever I think of that line.

Too many scenes to mention but what about the aquarium when Drebbin impales the Japanese fight fish with a pen and Montalban tells him how priceless they are? Or when he jumps at the Queen and they both slide all across the table with her legs wrapped around him?

So many great ones listed. Let me add "Heroin Frank, Heroin". "You might have to give me a couple of Days"

When Kennedy tells Drebin about what Nordberg meant about "I Love You" and Frank says "I realize that......Now!

And finally a scene they stole from the original series. A part near the end where Ricardo is holding Presley at gun point and Drebin grabs a woman and says "Two can play at that game".

"I've GOT to find a way to get down on the field and search those players." That made me laugh in anticipation even the first time I saw the movie.

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

One of the best is the unbreakable Samurai pen, and the Japanese fighting fish.

All the foreshadowing and build up for the fish "Beautiful, elegant, graceful... and yet....single minded of purpose, and deadly.... when they find what they want!" and the pen "Impervious to everything but water! It's value is...beyond estimation!!!" The first time I saw this movie in the theater - I knew from all that - that invaluable pen would somehow end up in the water, and the fish would play a part!

Ricardo Montalban - he delivered all those lines so superbly too, which adds to the hilarity.

Watchng OJ Simpson get brutally injured throughout the movie. Even more so after what he did in real life.

Not sure if anybody mentioned it yet, but the "Nothing to see here!" scene is hilarious!!

I mean, the fake doctor has just driven his car through a gas truck, then smashes into a military vehicle carrying a missile (that just happens to be driving through the area!) and then ride the missile right into the fireworks store!!

Frank just calmly tells the crowd to, "Please disperse, nothing to see here!", while behind him the fireworks factory is exploding and all kinds of people are fleeing!!

I'm cracking up right now just typing this and thinking about the scene.

And its sister gag, the guy at the docks using the megaphone to say "nothing to see here" right in the face of two tourists.

And the chalk outline on the water in the same scene.
