funniest scene?

for some reason, I really like the scene where Miller pulls up to the side of the road, and points his finger lustfully at two young women, who are MUCH younger than him. They just yell "F(bleep) off" and walk away. Then the camera shows Miller fumbling for his gun, to just blow them both away. He doesn't seem to get it loaded in time, so they escape, but still...

What a classic little exchange!! I always laugh until I'm almost crying, every time I see that.

Also, I like when Miller turns on the old-fashioned table stereo, and it's playing a gentle, happy, nice little peaceful tune, and he just picks up the stereo and smashes it on the floor. Have another Jolt Cola, Miller. What a psycho. (An alien psycho, the best kind). I love it.

You are toast, my toasty friend.

Ah yes, the stereo scene! I always laugh at that too - the song is so funny because it is a fake song to start with! No country & western singer would ever sing anything as cheesy as the one that plays on that stereo, before he smashes it; the point being, Miller has been invaded by the alien, right? And the alien ONLY likes heavy metal music!
That's why he blasts it after the bank robbery in the Lamborgini! The alien likes to rock, so when that corny country song comes on, it goes nuts and forces Miller to trash the stereo!

I remember it to this day, and still laugh at it:

bum bum bum:
"I believe in sunshine,
even in the rain;
I believe in happiness,
when I'm goin' through the pain...." Riiiiiip, SMASH!

Classic!

I have 2 copies of this, and am selling one here, if anybody needs a copy, it seems to be semi-rare these days!

I guess it's never mentioned much but to me, the funniest scene had to be where Brenda [the stripper] has killed a guy [actually loved him to death, i guess] and the alien starts to examine the body it's in and notices something a lot "extra". I just found it so hard to believe this alien has never been inside a woman's body before and starts to examine it now rather than before when it was inside Miller.

The part when she (the strpper) plays with her boobs in the mirror? Ya, that's cool too!
Did you ever see the Hidden 2 ?

There are loads but two of my favs are when Miller destroys the stereo for playing "mellow" music and when the Chief's dog leaps through the glass and knocks him into the fridge
I've just remembered another one. When he takes a short cut in the Ferrari thru the park and rams into the dude in the wheelchair. LMAO I nearly choked on my coffee watching that one

- Miller burping like mad in the restaurant scene and everyone giving him disgusted looks.
- "Gallagher" putting the pill in the water expecting it to dissolve the way the Alka Seltzer did.
- The guy in the wheelchair getting mowed down.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

My big laugh out loud moment was when Gallagher, after telling Beck about the alien body-thief, says something like "I guess a career in the police didn't really prepare you for this, did it?"

Beck replies "Yes it did."

Cut to Gallagher being locked in a cell.
