As an aside, I’ve always wanted to see a “TV edit” of Johnny Dangerously, with all the expletives badly dubbed over with nonsense, and all of Moronie’s expletives badly dubbed over with real swear words.
Argh! You took mine. so I’ll go with, “This goes through armor. And through the victim, through the wall, through a tree outside…”
“Fargin’ bastich!” is just far enough from the version of English spoken around here that I can say it and not offend anyone.
“Yeah, and I’m-a da Pope!” “Hey, Pope!”
“It shoots through schools” is still my all-time favorite line. Piscopo will always get a pass from me for that delivery.
Hey Pope, why don’t you go build yourself a new gym at the Vatican
I’ve fulfilled a lot of people’s predictions about me. I’ve become a real scumbag.
Diversification. Yes, sir. Were constantly exploring new and exciting areas of crime. And I tell ya somethin’. We better, because there a couple Japanese gangs out there that are going to do it faster and cheaper.
MORONI DEPORTED TO SWEDEN
Complains He’s Not From There
“I missed the bus, you missed the bus, we missed the bus, when’s the next bus?”
Ah … you’re still with me, you bald-headed beauty!
“It’s fargin’ war!”
And the newspaper in the next scene has the headline “FARGIN’ WAR.”
I am not a cinema buff.
What style of comedy is this movie? (Not slapstick, right? Slapstick is physical, I think.)
Parody, I guess, of the gangster movie genre. And farce.
Heh. Reading the Wikipedia definition of farce seems to describe the movie pretty good.
Thanks!
Specifically, they were playing off of the Cagney films.
Looks like Johnny’s gettin’ laid again!
This! 
It’s the best part of the movie.
But I’ll have to warn you Evil Captor, my friend asked me to quote Johnny Dangerously once. Once.
It might be slapstick, I don’t really have a good grasp about what slapstick is either. If I remember correctly, My Man Godfrey is considered slapstick but it’s a musical with very little, if any, physical comedy.
Can someone give a good definition for slapstick?
ETA: I might be getting slapstick and screwball a little confused.
Definitely farcical. Or, if you like, it’s Airplane!-style comedy.
I’ve heard these films referred to as “Screwball” comedies, which seems appropriate but can be confusing because that term refers to a different kind of film as well.
Where the hell are we?
