Cheech & Chong, Smokey & the Bandit, Every Which Way But Loose, Foul Play…

Are you Paul Carey, from Airplane!?

DLR, you. Are. Awesome.

Yes, I am

Paul Carey

with whom Shep, Capt. Kramer’s dog, was just a little too friendly.

Be sure to watch Kramer at 1:18 as he steps through the mirror (some people don’t notice it, no matter how many times they’ve seen Airplane!).

How did you figure it out, DLR? I’m impressed. Thought I had you all.

And please start a new thread for May.

Oh, I’m aware of your fondness for Airplane!.

New thread is here.

Still, that’s a deep cut. Well done!

It’s one of my favorite movies, too. So many great one-liners, and eccentric characters like the sassy Johnny and people who speak jive. I’ve watched that scene nearly a dozen times and never caught the joke.

Wow. I had not seen that before. The director(s) do a great job with the cut between the Kramer-and-reflection shot and the gag shot, which kinda hides the effect, but it’s still remarkable.

Exactly! A very clever sight gag.

It’s better than the entrance of William Shatner in the sequel.
