Question
I nominate Bronson Pinchot in Beverly Hills Cop. Pinchot invented the persona of "Serge" himself after being inspired by all the shop assistants in Beverly Hills whose nationality was ambiguous. His meeting with Axel in the art gallery was almost entirely ad-libbed and had to be done many times due to members of the cast and crew breaking up.

Q&A
“Get the fuck outta here” “Noo, I cannot”
Yup, this is the line right here. Still hilarious every time.
My buddy and I in college used to say that to eachother all the time! I miss that. I hope Surge is in the new Beverly Hills Cop.
It's Serge. Serge.
And then got his own show soon after this movie right?😅
Perfect Strangers. Played Balki
He absolutely nailed that role.
Thank you, I just started the first episode. “I am a sheep herder, my father was a sheep herder…”
Oh shit I thought Perfect Strangers came before BHC for some reason.
And Risky Business came before Beverly Hills Cop. For me, Barry is my favorite character and performance of his. Risky Business is simply one of the greatest films ever made. I'm not taking anything away from Beverly Hills Cop, though. Both had AWESOME soundtracks, but Tangerine Dream and Phil Collins's In the Air Tonight are UNBEATABLE!!!
yep this is the line but “ with a little lemon twist !! “
I cannot ever,ever have,or make an espresso without thinking of this line.
Surge: Akquwell, Achkmel... Axel: Axel Surge:....is here to see Jenny Summers
I make it myself. It's good.
No, don’t be stupid
"I also never seen him in a pair of pants... zat fit."
I immediately went to YouTube and watched the clip 3 times. He's so good!
Character here is the thumb ring
This is the best.
😂
What else did he go on to do after this crazy shit!?
One of his biggest roles was as the insane antagonist in The Langoliers.
My vote goes to Hollywood in Mannequin (1987). Played by the amazing Meshack Taylor.
Is it weird that as a 10 year old boy, designing woman was one of my favorite shows?
We are one in the same
If so, then I am weird as well.
Not if you are now a 45 year old woman
Straight male, married with children. I had really weird taste in t.v.
Weird taste, good taste. All the same.
I'm a straight dude in his 30's too but watched the reruns with my mom as a kid and definitely thought he was funny and cool.
Underrated pick, in an underrated movie.
He was solid in Designing Women!
Charlie Sheen in Ferris Bueller's Day Off
🎶Shawna!🎶
Drugs?
It’s cool….
“You wear too much eye makeup. My sister wears too much. People think she’s a whore.”
The viciousness and indirectness of that dig has me every time.
Achmel
Achmel Achwel….Foley
Such a great subtle thing that he gives up and just goes with Foley.
Searshze
Is here to see you
I just sold one just like zis one to a collector the other day/ for how much??/ $130,000/ GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE/NO I CANNOT!! It's a very serious collector
Gedde Wattanabe in Sixteen Candles. “No more Yankee my Wankee. The Donger need food”
Mallied....to oily bohunk.
My God, there's no way that character could exist in a movie today.
Why not? It’s an anti-stereotype role.
Ohhhhh sexy girlfrienddddd
Lake. Big lake.
Bill Murray’s character in Caddy Shack. His character was supposed to have a smaller role but after Murray started improvising all his scenes, the director made his role bigger. The movie was supposed to be a big movie for Chevy Chase; Chase was paid $6 million for his role. Which was a lot of money in 1980
I saw an interview with Harold Ramos where he said originally the script was primarily about the caddies. But once they assembled the full cast and realized the powerhouse of comedic talent they had, the storyline shifted. My fave comedy of all time.
I nominate Ted Knight over Bill Murray. I love Bill but Ted Knights laugh is that movies highlight for me. Not to mention his killer lines.. ‘Ive sentenced kids younger than you to the gas chamber… i felt i owed it to them’ 😂, ‘you’ll get nothing and like it’ And of course ‘The world needs ditch diggers too’
Ted Knight is great!
While Bill and Ted I both agree with I think Bill's older brother Brian as the head caddy steals it for me. His role was smaller than those two who I would argue is more central to the story. His few scenes are almost throw away but yet quotable, like when he breaks up the fight asking what that sign say.
It was the first excellent adventure that Bill and Ted ever had.
“How about a Fresca?”
Murray was better in it.
But Rodney Dangerfield interacting with Ted Knight was the best
Hat like that should come with a bowl of soup…but it looks good on you.
“Somebody step on a duck?”
💯 hundred bucks you slice
Most of that 6 million went up Chevy's nose
When the product was worth it
I swear I saw a graphic in like the financial times of all places that showed purity has improved exponentially over the past couple of decades and price has stayed the same
I can agree with this
I agree. And Bill’s character in Tootsie was a scene stealer as well.
Bill Murray is a treasure and must be protected at all costs
They hated each other and only appeared in one scene together because the director forced them. They improvised the whole thing.
Bill Murray was also a scene-stealer in Tootsie. His lines are hilarious (from IMDb)
Jeff : That is one nutty hospital.
Jeff : You slut! Michael Dorsey : Don't - don't - don't start in with me. Don't - don't do that. Rape is not a laughing matter.
Jeff : I don't like it when people come up to me after my plays and say, "I really dug your message, man." Or, "I really dug your play, man, I cried." You know. I like it when people come up to me the next day, or a week later, and they say, "I saw your play. What happened?"
It's nice, I make with a little lemon twist
EEsss good you should try eet.
Jack Black stole the film High Fidelity.
Do we look like a store that sells “I just called to say I love you”? Go to the mall.
He had an explosive performance in The Jackal
Stephen Stucker in Airplane! That actor could deliver a quick zinger as good as anyone.
Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.
Steve McCroskey: Johnny, what can you make out of this?
[Hands him the weather briefing]
Johnny: This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...
And from Airplane! 2:
Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it. He took her best summer dress, put it on and went to town.
Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, what have you got on Elaine Dickinson?
Jacobs: Well, I'm two inches taller, a better dancer, and much more fun to be with.
Steve McCroskey: [speaking to the entire control room] Now listen to me and listen good. If you got any ideas, any ideas at all, now is the time. I want to hear them and I want to hear them now!
Jacobs: How about a game show like Hollywood Squares but with kids? Gary Coleman could host.
Steve McCroskey: Would somebody please tell me what in Sam Hill a woman is doing up there in charge of that ship?
Jacobs: Well maybe she's got her ship together.
Don’t forget this one!
That scene reduces me to tears every time. That and the bullets shooting out of Bob McKenzie's nose in the courtroom scene in Strange Brew
Hank Azaria in The Birdcage.
