We’re back with round 3. The RULES are really difficult, so pay attention: guess the movie the quote is from and win the respect of all your peers. If you can name the actor and/or character you get extra street cred. Oh, and in theory the quotes will get progressively harder from 1 through 5.
Good luck and no using IMDb you wuss!
1) “Hey, [NAME], let me ask you something. What sets off the metal detectors first? The lead in your ass or the shit in your brains?”
2) “You shoot off a guy’s head with his pants down, believe me, Texas ain’t the place you want to get caught.”
3) “The ‘big Red dog’ is diggin’ in our backyard, and we are justified in shooting him!”
4) “Yo, so check out my new move. I call it ‘the Stranger.’ What I do is, I sit on my hand for, like, 15, 20 minutes, until it goes numb. No feeling at all. And then I rub one out.”
5) “Could you take the car out of neutral? We just got passed by a street sweeper.”
4 I seem to remember from the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds or perhaps Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
you are killing me Andrew, I am always on the verge of knowing but no quite with your quotes…
is 4) Eternal Sunshine?
#3 is from thirteen days I think.
the rest, no idea
no. 4 is definitely Lester the Molester/Jason Mewes from Zack and Miri.
1) Die Hard 2: Die Harder
2) Thelma and Louise?
I couldn’t get the last one without cheating, but I recognized the line
Hint: 2 actors in this film have the same first name as me
CORRECT ANSWERS SO FAR…
1) Die Hard 2 (Goon)
2) Thelma and Louise (Goon)
3) Thirteen Days (Colleen)
4) Gone in 60 Seconds (Ross)
–
5) No one has gotten this one yet, but Goon’s hint is a good one. I’ll put up another hint after a while if no one gets it.
05. License to Drive – Corey Feldman’s character.
I am sort of ashamed that I know this…
For once I knew some, I knew no. 3 (great film) and 4 (shit film).
If no. 4 is in Zack and Miri that’s a new low for Kevin Smith.
if you think thats a new low for Kevin Smith, there’s other stuff in that movie that would prove you wrong. Huh, I’m surprised that wasn’t the right answer, there’s a scene pretty much exactly like it in Z&M, starting with that dialogue and jumping from there.
(by, ‘other stuff that would prove you wrong’, i mean there are things far ‘lower’ by what your standards apparently are)
I just mean when you’re stealing jokes from shit like the Gone in 60 seconds remake, it’s a new low creativity-wise.
its not original enough stuff to be stolen, and Im sure the Stranger joke existed before Gone in 60 Seconds. People did that joke in high school.
And not to overly defend it, but that line is just the start of a run of jokes in Zack and Miri, not a highlight joke itself.
Point three, “when you’re stealing jokes from shit like _____” – thats kind of an elitist attitude there sport, even the shittiest movies might have something in them worth “ripping off” or being influenced by.
Stealing jokes is pretty low on the respectability scale to begin with, Mr. Elitistpolice. It’s different that stealing a cameramove or something else that is cool and works. Stealing a joke is pretty pathetic – especially when that’s what you do for a living, tell jokes.
Strange though point I made. I guess cameramoves are also what somebody does for a living. It’s alot harder to duplicate though, and it can work for different things. Stealing actual dialogue is worse. Definitely.
Apparently I have to say it twice – that story is something common that teenagers just talk about. Gone in 60 seconds didn’t invent it. To say Smith “stole” it is a weird judgment call considering he could just be retelling something he had talking about as many have before. Its like claiming “Parenthood” invented the diarrhea song.
“Stealing a joke is pretty pathetic – especially when that’s what you do for a living.”
Again like I said, that piece of dialogue in Z&M got a couple chuckles from people, but its really only the jumping point into these Dutch Rudder jokes where they take that concept and push it further.
And yes, I’ll accept the elitist police badge when you want to pass judgment on yet another movie you haven’t seen.
