Still, my favorite moment is...


... when Manny is talking about his gunshot wound after the chainsaw scene and his dialog is slowly muted by the music and Elvira coming down the elevator:

"So I ran out of bullets... like an asshole."

No matter how serious this movie is supposed to be taken, I laugh out loud every time at that part.

The dialogue following that is even worse, and I laugh too!

Manolo
… and when I’m changing the clip, the little motherfucker who I thought was killed, but was not dead, shot me.”

It’s a bit hard to follow after this but it gets even more awkward.

Frank mumbles something unintelligible.

Manolo
“The guy was behind me, I killed him.”

Frank
“How many bullets you catch?”

Manolo
Bullets? One bullet, nine mm!
It’s nothing but what was sloppy was Chi Chi something something something. lady sitting on bed, who did not look like a lady, she was ugly as fuck…”

Funny enough, in the script, the machine gun wielding flattop woman is named, The Lizard.

After reading your reply: "Bullets? ONE bullet!"

Seriously, this exchange in a "serious" movie is pure comedy gold.

It really is!

Then he totally throws shade at Marta or Martha... with the fucking suppressed Mac-10.

Haha, everytime I watch the movie I pick up more and more of the background dialogue in this scene.

I said sanitarium. Not sanitation.

Yes! LOL! The movie's got a lot more than one favorite for me.

Man, there are so many tiny moments like that which are gold in this film.
