Still a favorite if mine. I once had a copy of some sort of working script or something - it had five versions, apparently changed on he fly before and during shooting. I lost it during a move and never tracked down another. The fell gets a nice homage in “Ready Player One.”
This scene is brilliant, one of my favourites.
As soon as I read your second sentence, I knew which one you had in mind. It’s really one of those silly scenes that makes you wonder how they thought of it. When you decribe it, it sounds stupid. It shouldn’t work. And yet it does, wonderfully.
But I wasn’t beaten lad. I built a second thread in the swamp. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp.
I wonder if this is the most quoted movie on the internet. It definitely is in the running (along with Princess Bride, Aliens, and Star Wars)

What?
‘The Castle of AAUUGH.’
What is that?
He must have died while carving it.
Oh, come ON!
Well, that’s what it says!
Look, if he was DYING, he wouldn’t have bothered to carve AAUUGH; he’d just SAY it!
Maybe he was dictating it?
“Hey…!” :dubious:
No I’m not.
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries! Now go away before I am forced to taunt you a second time, you so-called Arthur-King and your silly English k-niggits!
I know you’re being facetious, since it’s not like we need an excuse. But it seemed like an anniversary worth commemorating in some small fashion.
There’s some lovely filth down here!
That’s what I’m all about!
Oo elected YOU king?
Yeah, for some reason, I think this is one of the funnier scenes in the whole movie. And when he does finally come upon the guards, he dispatches one and the other whines a feeble “Hey…”
Even tho I adored this movie, and still think it was one of the most clever and absurd comedies of all time, the over quoting of it kind of leaves me cold. (Even tho I do it, too* … occasionally…) Even before the net became the giant it is now, people I knew would interject quotes in any manner of conversation, and then nitpick each other about the minute details of the offered witticism. Oh well…
*I still like Jerry Lewis movies, too. Cinderfella and the original Nutty Professor, esp. But, what are ya gonna do? “Carbon dioxide, to me, has always been a gas!”
A moistened bint, of course.
I was just kidding around but a 40th anniversary is less of an occassion when so many people have been celebrating the whole time.lol
Every once in a while I put “A moose once bit my sister” in the “Subject” box in an email. Just to make my addressees scratch their heads. (Or giggle with recognition.)
It’s a fair cop.
Huh! I didn’t vote for you! :mad:
Surely you can’t be serious? Are you certain you meant Aliens and not Airplane!? There’s only one or two lines from Aliens that I recall getting any traction.
1975, eh? I always remember seeing it for the first time with some high school friends and that would have been before 75. Ah well.
letting the obvious reply go…
It’s an entirely different kind of movie, altogether.
Those responsible have been sacked.
