Funny Scenes I’d Stop A DVD In The Middle Of To Watch Over Again, Part II

My Fellow Americans Jack Lemmon and James Garner play former presidents running from a crooked secret service man trying to kill them. At one point they wind up sleeping in a stationwagon with a homeless family. Near the end of the movie Garner and Lemon appear on TV and a redneck man brags to his buddies at a bar, in front of his wife, “I ain’t ashamed to say I slept with both of them presidents!”

Protocol Goldie Hawn throws a bar party for a visiting Arab Head of State, but it goes haywire when a gang of bikers show up, and more than a few hookers. It's revealed that the Emir's advisor/revered holy man knows more than half the hookers, and the religous sage goes over and trades a biker his coat for a T-shirt that says "WHIP ME, BEAT ME, MAKE ME WRITE BAD CHECKS!"

The Replacements Keanu Reeves arrives for practice at the stadium, only to be confronted by the actual team he's replacing. They proceed to roll his truck over on its top because he's parked in the team quarterback's parking slot. Two hefty replacement players show up and demand they right the truck and when they refuse, one shoots a hole in the quarterback's Porsche's windshield. This results in him being called a son-of-a-bitch, so he proceeds to blow more holes in the car until they right Keanu's truck. " Son of a bitch? "Son of a bitch!?!" BANG BANG BANG. “What’s that you’re wearing?” “Wild yam.” “That’s nice!”

With Six You Get Eggroll Jamie “Klinger” Farr and William “Father Mulcahy” Christopher as ‘60s hippies shrieking “We’ve got to help him find his teddy bear!” and a motorcycle chase involving Doris Day, 20 hippies on motorcycles, and Brian Keith in his underwear ensues.

James Bond - License To Kill During a chase scene at the opening of the movie, a drug kingpin is getting away in a private plane. The DEA give chase in a high-speed chopper. When they catch up to him, they can't figure out how to stop him before he reaches Cuban airspace, so Bond jumps out of the helicopter yelling in glee “Let’s go fishing!!!” and loops a cable around the tail of a Piper Cub. They haul it in and fly off with it looking like a dead fish hanging from a hook, as Bond and his FBI friend parachute to the wedding he thought he was going to miss.

    The "Son of a Bitch" scene is from where the real team rolls his truck over in the parking lot

    You're getting there, but I was wondering why these particular scenes and what they mean for you?

    For instance, in the personal touchstone that is the classic comedy movie "Animal House" (definitely always one of the first films on my personal desert island movies list!), I love that scene where they put the horse in the Dean's office and when the late great John Belushi fires the starting pistol, it has a heart attack.

    There's an awful but classic moment when the horse gives such a startled look, like it just realised it was about to drop dead on the spot, that for some moment cracks me up every time. I just can't stop laughing every time I see it! Sick but true...

    Chris, on part one of this series, somehow the "Part One" disappeared off my title, and the "Stay tuned for Part 2" off the end.
    When posting, I click the series button, but the two choices don't apply, any advice?

    My advice woiuld be to send a message through the Yahoo group. You have signed up for that, right?

    No, I've tried, but the ID and password for my TV listings keeps popping up, and I don't know if I can have two IDs or not, or if it's okay to use my TV ID for the group too???

    No idea. What does it say in the email you got from BC when you were accepted..?

    After reading "Watch what you say on the internet" and what happened to Steve, it might be a moot point anyway.
