Favorite Scene (Obvious Spoilers)

I've looked all over the message board, and I can't find a topic with this name, so correct me if there is one.

I was just wondering what people's favorite scenes were from this film. Although I didn't think the film was that great, I found the scene where Nina chased Arthur, beating him with a crucifix, pretty hilarious. Also the scene where Arthur saw Martha Stewart's head on his dog's body and screamed, "Make her stop! She's after my soul!" made me laugh out loud.

What other scenes did people enjoy?

I *loved* the whole "He's either going to hit them or bake them a cake" part. My mom thought that the "Die Hard situation" line was funny too, but I hadn't seen that movie, so I didn't get it.

I thought the whole scene when they go to the airport's funny, especially when the goats get loose and they hit one. Also, I laughed so hard when Elliot says "I'm not going to get a ticket for this, am I?" and Walter says "I don't see 'em, I don't write 'em".

The scene where Snake and Eddie rob the bar wearing stocking masks that are too thick to see through has to be the funniest scene I have ever seen. Johnny Knoxville is perfect in this part.

I like the scene where Johnny Knoxville's character tells Sizemore's character they better leave because he hears "one of those silent alarms." :)

I like the re-accuring physical gag where in the case of bartender whacking
Snake with the bat, he gets hit once, falls forward and hits the bar, and
then falls backwards over Puggy. This also happens to Leonard the hit man
while they are in the wooded yards outside of the house, he's running to get
over the wall and smacks into the wall, then fall's backwards over Nina on
the ground. You can tell that they spent quite a bit of time setting up these
gags, and although they happen very quick, they are fun when you see them used
on different characters throughout the film. This is a great little film by
the way, just watched it again for maybe the 30th time, and it never gets
old. My other (of many favorite scenes) would be the entire lead up to, and
major feet sucking, and the goats at the airport. I just about passed out
from laughing so hard the first time I saw this!!
Just as an aside, I was a video engineer for the MN Twins baseball team. Back
in about 2002, Tim Allen was in Mpls. filming "Joe Somebody", and he showed
up at a Twins game I was working. We went to a commercial break, and I got
called back to bring up the portable field camera as Tim had climbed down
during the 7th inning stretch to lead all >30,000 fans in a chorus of
"Take me out to the ballgame"! It was a great thing for everyone there, sadly
we couldn't cut away from the commercial's in time to show it on air... It takes
a lot of courage to get out there and do that!! Seem's like a very nice guy!

Easy, Dennis Farina in the restaurant trying to enjoy his steak with the people at the next table smoking cigars. Henry (Dennis Farina) asks them to put them out.

Bruce: "There's no rule against smoking."
Henry: "There's also so rule against me farting on your lunch, but I don't do it because it's rude."

Then Henry grabs Bruce's fingers and bends them backwards:

Bruce: "You just committed assault."
Henry: "I know. Time was you had to hit somebody."

"Was that a goat?" Need I say more?

"What is that?"
"Bomb."
"Bomb?"
"Is big bomb."

"Is bad location."

The perfect scene though is almost the very last one. The two hit men are on the plane. The plane is packed solid with Gators fans. The plane is trapped on the runway by goats. That is as close to a workable definition of hell as I have ever come across.

I've seen "Big Trouble" upwards of twenty times. I think it is just about perfect.

"Was that a goat"......

And when they fall off the bus at the end and the lady cop see's the gun and just declips it and gives then there sniper gun back!! CLASSIC!!!

And lastly the fair cop with the real gun. That was the best part! HOLY HECK I love when he drops his whiskey when they ask him if he has been drinking and he said "No" and just runs away!

The hitman trying to enjoy his steak. Classic!

Hitman - "Would you mind putting that cigar out, please?"
Beer Guy - "Come again?"
Hitman - "I said, 'Would you mind putting that cigar out, please?'"
Beer Guy - "Yes, as a matter of fact, I would mind."
Hitman - "Well, as a matter of fact I gotta tell ya' gentleman, I'm trying to enjoy nice thick t-bone that just cost me 30 dollars in change that tastes like 3 dollar cigar."
Beer Guy - "Well first, Ace, you're eating a steak in a place called 'Joe's Stone Crab', and, second, there's no rule saying that we can't smoke."
Hitman - "Well, first thing is that my name is not 'Ace', and second, I'm not referring to rules. It's about common courtesy. You see, there is no rule saying that I can't come over here and fart on your entree, but I don't because it's common courtesy. So I'll ask again, in the nicest possible way; could you put out your cigar, please?"
(Beer Guy blows smoke in the Hitman's face. Hitman grabs the cigar and pulls the beer guy's fingers back, revelling a loud crack, then douces the cigar in the beer. He looks to the two others with him and they quickly extinguish their cigars in their drinks)
Hitman - "Now was that so hard?"
Beer Guy - "I hope you realize you just comitted assault."
Hitman - "Yeah, Yeah, I know... time was, you actually had to hit a guy."

Also the scene where the hitman was at the totally small payphone in the bad neighborhood when the thugs try to walk up on him and he calmly reaches for his gun; making them back off.

And what made that funny was Dennis Farina's totally cool, "Not now, okay?"

Dave Barry's prose of the the Hitman/Cigar Guy scene was much funnier than in the movie, because all the guys at the table were lawyers.

[–] FrameXFrame 15 years ago

Too many to list at once:

Herk wearing that ridiculous wig.

The hitman making a call from a handicap phone.

Snake beating Puggy--with a flip-flop. (Only funny because it's just a damn flip-flop.)

The infamous foot fetish scene.

The airport: "Okaaaay, family Smith, enjoy your vacation."

The silly exercise program that's the only thing ever showing on the bar's TV.

Herk dragging that massive brass shelving unit down the street, trying to escape the Martha/dog. "Arrrooooogula!"

Funny funny movie--clever dialogue.

Oh, don't worry, Ivan. It's just your foot. See, this is what we at the bureau call an extremity shot. Generally, the victim survives. They don't do so well with what we call a torso shot.

So what do you think, Ivan? Would you like to experience a torso shot?
