Kindergarten Cop

[PSXer]

1) Why was Detective John Kimble the one undercover stalking Crisp at the mall. Wouldn't it make more sense to have someone whom Crisp doesn't immediately recognize?

2) They bring up the domestic violence subplot but never really resolve. Are we just to assume that Arnold punching the guy solved the problem? I guess so. There is no problem punching a man can't solve.

FLAWS in the internal logic of Kindergarten Cop?

[scamartistry]

Kindergarten Cop was based on a real 90s haircut.

Well, you might expect internal logical flaws in a schlock piece like Touch of Evil but not in the masterpiece that is Kindergarden Cop.

[PSXer]

I don't get why anyone likes Orson Welles. Arnold could beat him with one hand tied behind his back.

[Dallas Jones]

At what point are we allowed to paint over the murals on the side of Astor School? I mean, they weren't there before the movie, they were painted on the school just for the movie. But now they are apparently some kind of art form that must be preserved for all time.

It's been over 20 years since the film was shot. Is that long enough? Or are people going to go all Goonies on us and expect to come back for a 25th anniversary and expect everything to be the same.

The poor people who rented their house for the Goonies only to have to keep it looking like "The Goonies House" so fans can have their picture taken in front. Yeah, it still looks like that. The owners probably wish it would burn down.

And the Kindergarten Cop school is a working grade school still. There is just that one exterior wall that we can't fucking paint.

I blame Arnold.

[toxo]

Kindergarten Cop has contributed in the fight against ignorance........


Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina

Just wait until Ahnuld dies and it becomes a memorial.

[Ludovic]

Boys have a penis and girls have a vaginaThat's just a roomah.

[kenobi 65]

It's naht a toomah!

We should have a thread where posters phonetically type their favorite Arnold lines. Points could be awarded for best rendering of his accent. (Crikey, HOW long has he lived in the US??)

Of course he could. If you'd let Orson use both hands it might be a fair fight. :)

He uses a speech therapist to keep his accent.

Seriously.

I'll kick us off:

"joo ben eahtin' ahthah peepuhls' launches?...STAWP IT!"

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

Seriously.

Really? How strange.

[Sauron]

I'll forgive a lot in this movie, since it has one of the best lines of the last 30 years:

"You're not so tough without your car, are ya?"

[Unintentionally Blank]

Really? How strange.

You say this about the guy that's Mayor of the land of fruits and nuts?


(and by Mayor, I mean Governator, and by land of fruits and nuts, I mean California)

[Push You Down]

..Was he undercover at the begining, I thought he was just looking for the guy?


The child abuse aspect had nothing to do with the main plot. Why would they go back to it unless it did? It was a red herring and Arnold's punching out the dad just served to win over the Principal character.

[PSXer]

It just seems like something you don't want to leave unresolved. Are Zac and his mom still being beaten? I hope not ):

[Bryan Ekers]

"Om de pohtty poopah..."


The marketing for the movie was terrible - suggesting it was a light fluffy comedy.

[Unintentionally Blank]

It just seems like something you don't want to leave unresolved. Are Zac and his mom still being beaten? I hope not ):

if so, I'll bet Dad's pretty bushed by now.

[Superhal]

No no, Twins is the masterpiece.

[PSXer]

I haven't seen Twins yet but I'm looking for it

[sparky!]

I just read up IMDb on this and then followed a link to Junior.

I really had no idea.

I really, really had no idea the utter shite hollywood was putting out that long ago.

Seriously, I'm 34 and still had no idea such shite got a green light.

Ahnold as a pregnant man?! Where in hell was the appeal?! I mean... Ahnold... pregnant!?

Who the hell ever thought that was a good film idea?

[PSXer]

Still better than the crap they put out today. TWO Garfield CGI movies? How does anyone possibly think the first one was good idea, let alone so good that it merited a sequel?

[Superhal]

Dude, for like 5 years, Arnold was the king of Comedy. Any Arnold comedy was a box office smash. Besides Junior, Twins and Kindergarten Cop, he also made Jingle All the Way. Then The Last Action Hero and Batman and Robin killed his career so he had to get into politics.

[Zsofia]

No lie, the second stupid Garfield movie is the highest grossing animated film ever in France. It beat the fucking Lion King.

Arnold used to say that every other movie he did, he wanted it to be something his kids could see. I think it's sweet. I mean, I'm not watching Jingle All the Way, but nobody's forcing me to.

[PSXer]

I still don't know who the audience for Kindergarten Cop. It's got too much swearing and people getting shot and drug use and a kid getting kidnapped at gunpoint to be appropriate for the children.

[tr0psn4j]

It's naht a toomah!

Yeah, this has to be one of the greatest lines ever.

[Intergalactic Gladiator]

Yoo havv vhwaut yoo want, giff zeh people zeh ahr!

It's for my parents.

[Dolores Reborn]

I must be old enough to be your mother. ;) I love this movie!

"It's not a too-mah!!!"

[Winnie]

"I'm not a policeman I'm a princess!"

Hubby likes to use that line when he thinks I'm acting like... ahem.. a bit of a princess.

Do you tell him who has what parts?

:) I'd like to see it again. As I remember it, it would have been a much stronger movie without the crime/chase element. Arnold with the kids was genuinely funny. And everybody loves Linda Hunt.

Yeah, it had the same problem as Miss Congeniality - a good idea mixed in with a crime plot which was only tacked on as an excuse for the cute idea. In neither movie does the crime part of it make any real sense.

The other nice thing about Kindergarten Cop is the great score by Randy Edelman.

It's naht a toomah!
Two things about that quote:
Whenever I'm watching American Football and I hear Amani Toomer's name I always pronounce it in my head like Arnold.

Whenever someone says that they have a headache I always say: It might be a tumor. I'm always disappointed if they don't say "It's naht a toomah!"
