Funniest Scene...


...had to be the baby Scanner. Somehow the thought of a fetus scanning someone from the womb is humorous to me. Plus, didn't they show the woman's belly quivering a little bit?

not nearly as funny as the exploding telephone booth!

Haha.

Personaly, I found the shaking caused by 'scanning' to be the funniest thing. BUT only if i'm thinking about the 'acting' that has a person do such a thing.

Same goes with the acting of Mr Lack. If I look at it from the characters perspective...it's understandabe. BUT as soon as I'm thinking in terms of acting actorssss...it's highly hilarious.

I'm suprised there isn't a youtube channel dedicated to people recreating such brilliant work ;)

***********************************

On a side note: I always found the trainstation scenes to be funny also.
For the first time (and second?) we watch the head of security meet with 'someone'. The camera angles and placement gives the intention of a secret meeting...with a secret someone. SO when the camera in the final 'trainstation' meeting pans to Revukkkk. I can't help but laugh...as if we didn't know!

Bloody endearing it is :)

I agreee the baby scanning scene was funny also at the beginning when Cameron helps himself to the customers food in the mall

But I get your point about Regents Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent_Park

What about scanning the outdated computer as if it had a mind? I mean seriously, the "super computer" was one step away from vacuum tubes.

Jeez. Are people that easily amused by outdated technology? You guys need to get out more.


I thought this scene where Revok tells Keller to kill Ruth was pretty funny.

Keller "Really? But I thought you said you didn't..."

Revok "Kill him. REALLY."

reply

In 1980, most computers were "one step away from vacuum tubes". It wasn't simply a matter of trotting down to the Office Depot and carting the latest away in your backpack...



Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing it's idiot...

reply

"See? I told you. No fireworks."

BOOOM

And they go flying through the window. I laughed out loud.

When Cameron interupts the doctor who's giving a medical exam to a patient and holds up the Ephemerol capsule, the doctor looks serious and tells his patient that he'll be right back and then adds, "read a magazine". As the patient looks around for one the camera follows his gaze and there are no magazines anywhere!

Apart from that gag I can actually take the rest of the film quite seriously, despite how silly some it can seem nowadays.

He left a note. He left a simple little note that said "I've gone out the window."

Near the beginning when Revok makes the other car run into a wall and it exploded just by hitting it.
Somehow it reminded me this Simpsons joke:
