The disgruntled postal workers charging in, gun blazing like there's no tomorrow with epic orchestra music playing in the background will always be the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life.
Repent to Jesus Christ ““Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” Matthew 6:19 NIV Y
In Germany when the postman came in they said in the German dub, "oh no, look, the postmen want the 20 hour weeks" which really cracked me up. One of the only things that was funnier to me in the German version
I miss this brand of humor. This is how you do random gag humor right. There are absurdist jokes at play, not just "lol let's throw everything at the wall and see what stick"
LOL at the postal worker scene... not many people remember these days all the shootings by whacked-out postal workers in the '80s and '90s. It certainly was a thing at one time.
When films like Naked Gun and Airplane! are firing on all cylinders, you barely have time to catch your breath from laughter. There's lots of great modern comedy but I've never seen a film that managed to pack as many gags into every single scene as these
That's a SIG P228 converted to fire blanks. You can see it cycling brass in the earlier shots. You can tell it's a P228 and not the near-identical P229 since the groove in the front of the slide only goes back to the chamber.
Crazy thing about that is that this movie came out in March of 1994. The OJ chase through Los Angeles in Al Cowling's white Bronco happened on June 17th, 1994. So this movie was actually still in some theaters when the world changed.
Still one of the funniest scenes in cinema history. Up there with the underwater bar fight scene in Top Secret. What? You've never seen Top Secret?! Go see it now.
+@@jihigh482+ I'm stone cold sober and about half of the few dreams I have/remember rival this level of insanity on display. And they say Dreams are trying to tell us something...
It suspiciously sounds like _"You Go We Go"_ from _Backdraft's_ original soundtrack: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hO-YIWaoUFg.html The scene itself is a parody of two other movies: Brian de Palma's 1987 _The Untouchables_ and Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 _Battleship Potemkin_ (namely, the iconic shootout scene where a pram with a baby is tumbling down a very long flight of stairs while soldiers shoot on protesters). Oh, and fun fact: the ululating cry of the suicide bomber in this scene is actually done by Peter Segal, the movie's director.
The leap from the Pope and his cardinals to a small army of disgruntled postal workers with the kit of a paramilitary group is what sent me into a fit of laughter.
@@doomguy8447 Clean off. And I don't see him as the jealous or possessive type. Let's face it, not all marriages last. But if his doesn't, I bet he'll be mature and forgiving about it.
I've seen it in several movies such as the original film "La femme Nikita." It actually shows up twice in the movie: once when the VIP's guards chase Anne Parillaud through the restaurant and again when she is in the secret agency's gun range.
@@abelq8008 Its got a sight integrated into the carrying handle, right at the front. Not a great sight radius but they did think of the sights. As I recall it was a small tube welded right there so your sight picture was a target inside a tube inside the rear aperture.
It's hard to believe Leslie Nielsen is the father of all modern serious science fiction movies! He was the star of Forbidden Planet, the first Hollywood big budget serious science fiction movie!
That scene might be the greatest parody since Airplane. The people who did The Untouchables are likely also laughing out loud. There's like a new thing that's funny every 5 seconds, including that Frank Drebin never learned how to hold an assault rifle (where did he get that thing, anyway?). The fact that it's a dream sequence is also a great parody, seeing as how dream sequences are one of the most obvious and disliked tired clichés. I think what cracked me up the most was the lawnmower. We miss you, Leslie.
I love how everything in a technical level is so serious and intense, the music, the camera movements, the edition, adds a lot to the comedy factor that is filmed like a real drama
I think the most selling points of all this classical parodies is because everything delivered with seriuos faces. Even music. Intence, dramatic score with soaring choir.
