The funniest line went to Wayne Newton


And he had the best delivery too;

"I even pissed in the punch bowl!"

Where the hell were Clay's classic lines? They watered him the hell down to the point where he just wasn't funny anymore. Or maybe he just wasn't that funny to begin with, I don't know. This movie didn't nearly make me laugh as much as Clay's stand up did.

Dunno, but this movie's a cult classic in my country, Hungary, due to the absolutely excellent dubbing by a former Hungarian rock musician (voice of the Mr. Rock & Roll detective, of course). 10/10!

That would Feró Nagy. I don't know a lick of Hungarian, but damn the Hungarian dub of this movie is hilarious!!

"Son-of-a-bitch must pay!!"

I found it quite oposite.
Dice was better in this movie than he was in his stand up shows.
The best line was when Ed O'Neill asks him if he looks like him, and he answeres that he was going to say that he looked like *beep* but OK; he looked like you. Priceless
This movie is a cult movie in my home country to; Norway. And we have the original voices, no voice-over

Those were good, but I still think the best line was from Morris Day, in the alley when he says, "With friends like you, who needs enemas?".

And then there's Ford's "Hey - foodboy!".

Very funny movie, and a surprisingly great short rendition of "I Ain't Got You".

I prefer when he says "ahh, this has to wait, I'm such a fan of shark meat..."...damn the rich!

But my best lines are when Ford is playing charades with Coleen, when she is saying "aahhm aahhha.." & Ford replies with "aardvarks...artichokes..Art Mooney idiot...etc"...LOL classic.
