A HERETIC I AM
(24,365 posts)Early on when Travolta punched the guy who took his jacket in the nose.
Guy opens the door and WHACK!
Perfect

I love that guy...He's great!
I think the very next scene was when Ray Bones walks into the barber shop where Travolta was in the back office, & as he passes the 2 barbers, they start coughing, and Travolta hears them, and immediately pulls a gun out of the top drawer of his desk & points it at the door, so when Ray Bones comes in, (his own gun in hand) Travolta shoots towards the top of his head, & just grazes him..and Ray Bones goes back out the door yelling:
"Someone call 9111....call 9111"
A HERETIC I AM
(24,365 posts)The part where Danny DeVito orders food in the exactly pretentious way described earlier in the film is good too.
"Can you make an egg white omelette? With shallots? But the shallots only slightly browned, very little olive oil..."...blah blah blah....
Here's the scene;
A completely underrated movie, in my opinion.
Another great Hollywood type flick is "S.O.B." (1981) with a GREAT cast including Julie Andrews, William Holden, Larry Hagman, Loretta Swit, Robert Vaughn and Richard Mulligan, among many other great names.
VERY funny.

Near the end of the movie, (to the driver as he gets into a cab) "The fuckin' airport."

He was a Chicago cop. And it showed.

(27,792 posts)I'm a Dennis Farina fan too.
After he was in the limo and they were driving, the lino driver turned around and said:
"They say the smog is the reason we have such beautiful sunsets."
And Farina replies: "That what they say, huh?"
And under his breath he says: "What a bunch of fuckin bullshit!"
