I was little and I asked my Mom to take me to the Theatre to see this movie (on a double bill w/ Take The Money And Run). After the movie she said I wasn't allowed to see another Woody Allen movie again.
I laugh every time I watch this and other great movies like "Sleeper," proof you don't need F bombs and scatalogical humor to be funny. A comedic genius Allen was.
The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park,Spaced,Louies C.K. , Spinal Tap etc.... They learned a lot from WOODY ALLEN !!! And "Bananas" is one of the best 5 Allen movie.
I don't know which woody allen movies I like more... the early screwball comedies or the later pseudo-philosophical movies... love and death was my favorite b/c it was a mix of both
I've never seen a parody of the judicial system done quite like this..ever. I guess comedy is really subjective, I feel as though I actually see what Woody did there.. through his eyes or his view rather.
" Officer Daud, Have you had sexual relations with girls with big breasts? YES. How did you find it? Very Errotic." hahahaha How can one not laugh when Woody asks it with such a straight face.
@rr7firefly That is one of my favorite jokes in ANY MOVIE! It always makes me roar and I wonder what he told the unfortunate-looking actress who he cast for that moment...
Perhaps, if they had treated him as if he was from the Valley & "gagged him with a spoon", the witness would have testified that he was a cross examining, fork tongued, silver spoon witness that was bound to do this judicial gag scene. Marijuana juries with homosexual fruits, nuts & "Bananas"
Everything is so over the top and unfunny. It's slightly funny when he interrogates himself in the witness box. I think this style was done much better by the Naked Gun movies.
