Anyone else believe we have a 'moral imperative' to see this older flick?


Yeah it is a great movie. Another classic from the 80's.

Absol-frickin-lutely. This movie ROCKS.


The hairdos are painful (in some cases) but the dialog and one-liners are still great.


Great movie with great dialog, soudtrack, giant popcorn, "God", and a guy who lives in a closet.

Some quotes...

Chris Knight (admiring a hottie): Have you ever seen a body like this before in your life?!
Military BBEG: She happens to be my daughter.
Chris Knight: Oh.... Then I guess you have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chris Knight (to the hottie): So, if there's anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know.
Hottie: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight: Not right now.
Hottie: A girl's gotta have her standards.
Chris Knight (in admiration): That is a very smart girl!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stuffy PhD: Why is that toy on your head?
Chris Knight: Because if I wear it any place else, it chafes.

When asked what he was thinking about...

"Self realization...I was pondering the immortal words of Socrates who said... 'I drank what?!'"

Love that movie. More people need to be shown the way!

Liberty's Edge

"Do you ever have a dream where you are standing atop a pyramid, wearing sun-god robes while thousands of naked women throw little pickles at you?"

"No."

"Why am I the only one that has that dream?"


It is a vastly under-appreciated film.

Professor Hathaway: When you first started at Pacific Tech you were well on your way to becoming another Einstein and then you know what happened?
Chris Knight: I got a haircut?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kent: You're all a bunch of degenerates.
Chris Knight: We are? What about that time I found you naked with that bowl of Jell-O?
Kent: You did not.
Chris Knight (to Mitch): This is true.
Kent: Look, it was hot and I was hungry, okay?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mitch: Did you know there's a guy living in our closet?
Chris Knight: You've seen him too?
Mitch: Who is he?
Chris Knight: Hollyfeld.
Mitch: Why does he keep going into our closet?
Chris Knight: Why do you keep going into our closet?
Mitch: To get my clothes - but that's not why he goes in there.
Chris Knight: Of course not, he's twice your size - your clothes would never fit him.
Mitch: Yeah...
Chris Knight: Think before you ask these questions, Mitch. Twenty points higher than me? Thinks a big guy like that can wear his clothes?

I love this one, especially the delivery by the actors:

Bodie: He said he didn't feel like it. And I said, you'd better! And he said, or what? And I said, or else you're gonna be in trouble. And he said jam it.
Professor Hathaway: That's a wonderful story, Bodie. I noticed you've stopped stuttering.
Bodie: I've been giving myself shock treatments.
Professor Hathaway: Up the voltage.


Prof Hathaway: I want to see more of you around the lab.
Chris Knight: Fine. I'll gain weight.

Chris Knight: Jerry, if you think that by threatening me you can get me to be your slave... Well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Prof Hathaway: I'm not kidding, Chris.
Chris Knight: Neither am I, Jerry.

Mitch: This is coherent light.
Mitch's Father: Oh, so it talks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Military BBEG: Where's the laser?
Professor Hathaway: It's coming.
Military BBEG: It's coming? Ha! It's not even breathing hard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chris Knight: Would you classify that as a launch problem or a design problem?
