What's yr favorite moment in the film?


Lets hear it! It's def a classic

"I was poor and no one liked me." 

Also, the next scene where everyone just casually sitting around while Louis loads his guns. I just love how oddly comfortable it all is, lol.

"If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself: just send money."

"Hey baby, once you had a man with no legs you never go back!"

When he brings everyone to his new home to party and it gets crazy and he kicks everyone out.

That or Jamie Lee's topless scene. Wowza.

Mortimer, your brother's not well. We need to call him an ambulance!

*beep* HIM!

That’s it alright. They really had to convince Don Ameche to do it. He only did it once.

My favorite moment is basically anything with Dan Aykroyd (major crush). I know, cop-out, let's see....

My favorite exchange is when Louis is cleaning his gun.

"You know you can't just go around shooting people in the kneecaps with a double-barrelled shotgun just because you're pissed at 'em."
"Why not?"

Kills me every time.

Big 'Barry White Lookin dude" at party: "That was a stone groove my man! You are the most righteous-"

Billy Ray: "Yeah, yeah, get the f&%k out..."

reply

For me it is that moment when Jamie pulls her top off and we realize she has a whole lot more going for her than just a great scream! 😀

reply

Billy Ray: "You want me to break something else?"

Everyone else: "Nooooo."



"Watch this....." (Leo T McGarry - Two Cathedrals)

I can't remember the exact line (may be somebody can remind me) when Louis says something along the lines of:

Officer, you are making a career level decision here!

When he was arrested....

Always has me creased up in laughter.

Oh and the one about the Watch with the pawnbroker as well :)

"Karate man bruise on the inside! They don't show their weakness. But you don't know that because you're a big Barry White looking *beep*
