"Those sheep shit on my pack."
"What are you worried about Debbie Klein for, anyway?
There are gonna be plenty of girls on this trip."
"Yeah, we're off to a great start."
"She means in the cinema... that film with John Wayne."
"Right! With Laurence Harvey. Everybody dies in it. Very bloody."
"Bloody awful, if you ask me!"
"YOU... made me miss.
I've never missed that board before."
"There's no food 'ere!"
"Beware the moon, lads."
"Where to now, Kessler? Duck's Breath?"
"That was a weird fuckin' place!"
"It was man. But, boy, they could play darts."
"Heathcliff didn't howl!"
"No, but he was on the moors."
"It's a cold and-a wet outta here!"
"It's a full moon. Beware the moon..."
"And, stick to the road. Oops."
"These dumbass kids.
They never appreciate anything you do for them!"
"Shall I be forced to feed you, David?"
"Life mocks me, even in death."
"Have you tried talking to a corpse? It's boring!"
"The wolf's bloodline must be severed.
The last remaining werewolf must be destroyed.
It's you, David."
"I'm a... werewolf."
"I will not be threatened by a walking meatloaf!"
"Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum... I smell the blood of an Englishman."
"I didn't mean to call you meatloaf, Jack."
"I can assure you this is not the least bit amusing."
"Yes, love?"
"A naked American man stole my balloons."
"What?"
"Queen Elizabeth is a man! Prince Charles is a faggot!
Winston Churchill was full of shit! Shakespeare's French!
Fuck! Shit! Cunt! Shit!"
"What you doin' 'ere?!
You promised never to do this kind of thing again!"
"I never promised you any such thing!"
"Not you, you twit. Her!"
"I've never met you before in my life!"
"Oh. Sorry."
"Good movie."
"Mm-hmm."
If you haven't figured it out by now, these are a few of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite films, John Landis' masterpiece...
The "Full Moon Edition" 2-disc DVD released last week and being the "AmWolf" nut that I am, I triple-dipped. Obviously, this release was designed to coordinate with Universal's remake of THE WOLFMAN (also featuring make-up effects by Rick Baker) which was supposed to release mid-October of this year, but has been pushed to February, 2010. At any rate, this edition succeeds Universal's previous "Collector's Edition" and cancels it out as it features all of the supplemental material from that disc, plus a new Rick Baker featurette and an all-new documentary...
This 100 minute retrospective exceeded my expectations, beautifully. Unlike an American-based retrospective that might only secure stateside talents like Landis, Baker, David Naughton and Griffin Dunne, this one's made by a Brit (John Davis) who has access to a great degree of the additional cast (i.e. Jenny Agutter, John Woodvine, David Schofield, et cetera), crew and, above all, the locations. (To see Davis walking down the same country roads, shot from the exact angles used for the film, really is a marvel.)
About the only two living actors missing from the documentary are Rik Mayall and Frank Oz. Nearly all other bases are covered. Amazing stuff and it's always a joy to hear Landis recount his experiences. Baker, Dunne, Schofield and Naughton are also quite entertaining.
Paul Davis (seen above with Naughton, Landis and Dunne) is a passionate fan after my own heart. Thanks, mate!
As for everyone else...
See You Next Wednesday!
