Let the quotes begin!!! Recruiter: Now, are either of you homosexuals? John Winger: You mean like flaming? Or part time? Recruiter: Well, it's a question we have to ask of all our new recruits. Russell Ziskey: No, we're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.
Amen. I have yet to figure out what's so funny about Caddyshack. I've watched it 1.5 times (couldn't completely get through it the 2nd time). Hell, I'll say it : Barber Shop was funnier than Caddyshack (yes, that was a ruthless insult!).
Also, Jeff, when watching the DVD, check for these "goofs" as taken from IMDB.COM (love that site): Continuity: The white van behind John's taxi disappears when an aerial view of the taxi is shown. Continuity: John's taxi suddenly gains and loses a dent. Continuity: The money on John's chest after the pushups. Boom mike visible: In the barracks, the first time Sgt. Hulka meets with his troops. Continuity: Position of John's pack and cap when he's stopped from going AWOL by Russell. Continuity: In the strip club, one of the female mud wrestlers that Ox is fighting has her hair down and in the next scene her hair is up. Continuity: The sergeant tells the men that the next morning there will be a locker box inspection then a 10 mile run. The next morning he tells the men there will be a 5 mile run which is only upped to 10 after Winger mouths off. Of course, nobody would have corrected him, but it seems unlikely he'd be nicer than he threatened to be. Crew or equipment visible: The crew's moving feet are reflected in the side of the Urban Assault Vehicle while John and Russell discuss stealing it. Continuity: When the platoon is performing their impromptu drill in front of the General, some camera shots reveal an overcast day with no shadows while others show sunny, bright weather. Continuity: When the reveille horn goes off, the sky is clear. When Sergeant Hulka enters the barracks, it is raining. Continuity: When John is going AWOL and the MPs arrive, John's duffle jumps from by his feet, to under his head and back between shots Continuity: When Winger's girlfriend leaves him, she puts her right boot on twice. Revealing mistakes: During the escape, Ox knocks over a rusty barrel, and reveals a shiny, spotless interior. Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Winger's platoon arrives at the graduation, the music has stopped, yet the band conductor's baton continues to move for several seconds. Crew or equipment visible: During the rescue toward the end of the movie, when a rocket is fired from the Urban Assault Vehicle toward a guard tower, a crew member is clearly visible crouching at the left of the scene attempting to conceal himself behind part of a building. Continuity: Winger's girlfriend stuffs her bag and slips on her boots while she splits with him. Different shots show an inconsistency in the order in which she slips on her boots. Anachronisms: Soviet officer is wearing a uniform from the late-1940s. Factual errors: Some of the Soviet soldiers are armed with Israeli-made Uzi's with wooden stocks. Revealing mistakes: When the door is exploded, the explosion and smoke happens, but the unexploded "plastic explosive" is still visible afterwards.
Hell, yes. Hey, look, I know people have different tastes in movies. There are lots of movies everyone just loves that I hate - Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, etc. Oh, well. As someone else said, different strokes. I love John Candy after mud wrestling with strippers is standing there in front of John Laroquette trying to explain what happened at the bar... "Well, sir, it was bingo night at the YMCA. The rules got all fouled up and one thing led to another..." Also... "My doctor said I swallowed a lot of aggression...along with a lot of pizzas!" Oh, man, there are so many.
C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like we're going into *Wisconsin*. It makes me sad and happy that most kids these days don't get the Commie jokes.
"I joined the army 'cause my father and brother were in the army. I though I'd better join before I got drafted. " "Son, uh, there ain't no draft no more." "There was one?"
