What made you laugh out loud?

These have been chosen, but I'll vote for my laugh-out loud moments:

Glenne- "you heard the story about his girlfriend...how did that make you feel?"

Michael - "It made me physically sick." (EVERY time I bust a gut)


Steve's "May I go to the bathroom first?"........"Thank you"


The entire first scene in "Ruprekt's room" from Steve's scrambling off the tire swing (him and michael caine on the bed is KILLER).


I love this movie!

you watched it, you can’t unwatch it

Katie, Janet was setting up Larry as Chips O'toole, an Aussie Real Estate developer. I think she was also setting up the next scam and knew that Freddie would be better if he didn't open his mouth. Cheers..tez

Too many funny moments...

Before the first woman from Oklahoma meets Ruprecht when Laurence says he feels like a kept man...

"Oh please don't be angry with me, here comes the creep man coming to get you...there's that smile!!!"

"Perhaps we should go by ship...Ruprecht loves the water..."
"Rup..Rupert?"
"Yes, Ruprecht."


Before Laurence opens the huge deadbolt on Ruprecht's quarters...

"Ruprecht it is I, your brother...no sudden moves"

Then after Ruprecht rolls off Laurnece on the bed, Laurence stands up and says I'd like to indtroduce you to so and so, Ruprecht who is staring at the woman, extends his arm up with hand in position to have it taken by Laurence so he can be led over to her...gets me every time.

"Ooooo-kla-homa, Okla-homa, Okla-homa, Okla-homa, Okla-homa..."
"He'll love Oklahoma's wide open spaces...He loves to run and run and run!!!"


The dinner scene

"Not mother?"
"No Ruprecht, she's not our mother"
"Go on Diana, you were saying that you don't think the poor should be allowed in museums..."
"I Think the poor should...oooooooooooooooohhh!!!!"
(She shrieks and the look on his face as Ruprecht grabs her hand is priceless)
"RUPRECHT!!!"

"May I take your trident, sir?"
"yesssssssssssss"
(The fact that he is about two feet lower than both of them is brilliant)


"Oh god, they're dancing...they're dancing! Take me from this place!!!"

"I have a plan for zis jackal...I know a man, Rene ze Knife, who owes me a favor...he is a an absolute genius with a stilleto and a magician at hiding a body...as police inspector I assure you the case will be handled in a very slipshod manner."

"We're getting married."
"Oh really?"
*Steve Martin walks away*
"Oh dear, Ruprekt"
*Steve Martin knocks a vase of the mantel piece*

Great stuff, I adore this film.

Yes I think the leg-whipping scene is the best. I don't think there is anyone in the world that could have acted that scene better than Steve Martin.

Also the bit just before when Steve Martin has his eyes covered as Janet reveals Dr Schaufhaussen - the way his smile suddenly turns to an open-mouthed frown is hilarious!

So many excellent scenes: the whole Ruprecht sequence, the nightclub, Martin on the aircraft with 'Lady' Fanny, but worthy of special mention is the leg-whipping scene. However, while the whipping itself is hilarious, the preamble is just sublime. It's the sight of Caine putting on the small, wire-rimmed glasses and the look on Martin's face and his calmly nestling his chin on his hand as he prepares for the horror of Caine's retribution that is just so classy.
