1. The way the fat bouncer begins to leap over the bar (?!) after yelling "Jesus Christ!"
2. The way the waitress leads Jeff Healey out after Wade Garrett shows up. He can't see the aftermath off the fight, and he can't contribute in any other way to say: "Gentlemen, Wade Garrett!"
3. Brad Wesley randomly three-wheeling on his lawn.
4. "Dig a hole."
Two of the greatest quotes I've ever taken from any film EVER (and sadly, only been able to fit one of into everyday conversation so far....) are from this film.
"You're too STUPID to have a good time" - It doesn't even really make sense, but actually sounds like something somebody would say when they couldn't think of a clever Arnie-film-style comeback quickly enough.
It's just perfect beyond belief. And could be fitted into any film almost...
"Luke - I am your Father..."
"You're too STUPID to be my Father".
And, of course, without a doubt...
"Polar bear fell on me".
...needless to say, I am waiting for the day a Polar bear falls on me.
shareAgreed there are so many ridiculously funny parts in this movie they're awesome. Just a few of mine:
-Jimmy, after getting his throat ripped out of his body by Dalton, somehow managing to muster a groan after he's kicked into the water.
-"I see you've found my trophy room, Dalton. The only thing missing.....(dramatic pause)....is your ass!"
-The random people at the car lot cheering a Bigfoot demolishing cars (entertainment in Jasper must be hard to come by).
-In the Denise stripping scene, Jeff Heley reaching-up to touch her, and the guitar in the song he's playing magically continues.
-Been previously mentioned, but it's worth repeating: the random mulleted, shirtless guy crushing the dance floor when we're first introduced to the Double Deuce. I want to party with that guy.
I've always noticed the cheering while Stroudmire's dealership is totalled! It's supposed to be a devastating scene but the atmosphere is more like a monster truck rally (which of course exactly what it is!)
I think the extras in the crowd got a little excited, like Pat McGurn emptying a 12 gauge at a flipping Mercedes.
"This is OUR town, and don't you forget it..."
-Frank Tilghman, Roadhouse
-"I see you've found my trophy room, Dalton. The only thing missing.....(dramatic pause)....is your ass!"
"Tonight's rent." That's Dalton being the patron saint of passed out winos in all-night diners.
I bet all the girls wanna ** you.
The Essence of Wesley.
Wesley is just so over the top evil that everything he does is so awesome.
He throws wild parties at his house for his goons, keeps Denise as a kept woman and hollers at her for her choice of workout music, hates his Dad, drives on the road like he's Stevie Wonder, has a stuffed zoo in his basement, supplies whiskey for the Double Douche, stalks Dr. Clay, has Monster Trucks run through a car dealership, shoots guns in the Double Douche, hired fat redneck extraoirinaire Tinker, bloodies the other goon's nose, and by golly brought high end shopping to town with getting a JC Penney's! And, so much more.
The guy was a true Rennaisance Man.
Wade Garretts "the Double Dush" line when he first looks up at the sign.
shareIn the final scene Doc is naked in the water and Dalton takes a running leap into the water (we can see Little Dalton if we look real close). Carrie the waitress is on a blanket in the background. Dalton and Doc begin to make out and go under water. All this they do with Carrie right there. Bizarro.
"What if they call my mother a *beep*
"Is she?"
After everyone shoots Wesley (overkill!) and the police cars are coming they load all the guns into Red's arms and he takes off as to get rid of them. He was back in a couple of minutes. Those guns can't be very well hidden. Not that anyone is going to look for them.
I thought the everyone shooting Wesley at the end wasn't about overkill, but they were all in it -- the classic idea of no one breaking ranks later cos they were all guilty (dear god, I'm actually analyzing the plot such as it is).
With the guns, I kind of assumed Wesley had a huge armoury somewhere. They either used his guns or Red just added them; wiping them down first of course. Hiding in plain sight, and as you said, no one had any interest in actually trying to find them.
And of course the police just shrug their shoulders and don't bother arresting anyone...after all they weren't sorry to see Westley go to the big taxidermy in the sky.

Feel good ending for sure but if I was Dalton, I'd be thinking "you a$$holes couldn't do that, I don't know, yesterday? A week ago, months ago, YEARS ago? My friend/mentor/father figure is dead!" I mean, he clearly didn't know they were going to show up like that so it's not like it was one big planned revenge scheme.
shareIt's actually Jeff Healey on the blanket and you can see he's playing the guitar on his lap.
I guess he was there to play romantic music while they skinny dip and make out, and since he's blind, there was no need to cover up in front of him!
OMG! I never noticed that before! Too busy looking for Little Dalton, I guess.
shareI'm always amused by the scene that contains the line: "I know exactly who Brad Wesley is. I've seen his kind many times."
Not only is Swayze's delivery as camp as a row of tents, but his folded arms and pacing about the place reminds me of an overly-concerned parent waiting for their child to come home.
Ha, yes vprice. I always thought that line was delivered wrong, it just sounds off for the type of guy Dalton is suppose to be portraying.
shareI loved Wesley's party when he puts his arm around some 80's tool with the plastic hair and suit and says something like "hey - this guy!!"
Say what you want about Patrick Swayze, he may have been in a lot of cheezy films, but they were almost always enjoyable.
1. When Dalton says "right boot" in reference to Ketchum's blade and the fat bouncer says "got it" cracks me up.
2. During the fight between Jimmy and Dalton, Jimmy says "damn boy I thought you were good" his delivery of that line cracks me up. Also during that fight the little yell he lets out as he proceeds to launch kicks at Dalton is hilarious.
3. The trivia track on the DVD is hilarious in and of itself.
Utah! Get me two.
"I love this guy!" *pinches his cheek*
Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.
-"Pain don't hurt"
- Dalton throws his best punch and Wade just catches it
- Dalton just moves his head to the left when a glass is launched at him and smashes against the bar
- Brad driving like Ray Charles
-"Leaded or unleaded?"
Brilliant film, best/worst bad guy ever!
"Hey buddy what are ya doin'? Are you gonna kiss 'em or not?"
"I can't!"
"What d'ya mean ya can't?"
"I ain't got twenty bucks!"
No matter how many times I see this movie that part never fails to crack me up.
It's amazing. Especially the cartoon redneck cackle the pimp does right at the start of that sequence ('hyuk hyuh hyuh hyurgh..!') to denote Grubby Hick.
Tinker at the end, utterly bemused and all he can get out is 'A Polar bear fell on me' (Doubly so, because for nearly 25 years I have misheard his name, and was convinced he was called Tigger).
Just after Wade gets introduced on the loading dock, one of the bouncers mutters 'Holy *beep* and Wade responds with a grin and 'precisely' (or maybe exactly; its never really clear).
Then pretty much anything Sam Elliot Says.
He's says, with that wonderful grin, "Exactly right."
He is so perfect in this. "That dog won't hunt."
Didja ever notice that whenever Sam Elliot says anything, he always does it while looking over his left shoulder?

Someone brought up the scene where they run the monster truck through Stroudenmire Ford, and the thing that cracks me up about that scene is that everyone from the bar is there to watch, including the band. Not sure how big of a town that Jasper is, but I get a kick out of the idea of everyone from the Double Deuce being up and stirring during daylight hours, and piling into the car when they hear that Wesley is at the dealership with his thugs to go check it out.
shareTwo things:
1. That bartender with the mustache who was Wesley's nephew - the way he moves his leg when he's shooting Dalton's Mercedes. Gets me every time.
2. And just before the polar bear falls on Tinker, he does a Curly huff and puff. Awesome!
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
Pain don't hurt
shareRed: Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?
shareO'Conner casually and matter of factly telling Tinker, "shut up $h!+head." Also, "hey hotshot! what's wrong with Detroit cars?"
Now that I have my coffee, I'm ready to watch radar.
