I always thought the air conditioning unit was a nod to Cusack's earlier film Grosse Pointe Blank where he kills a "rival" hitman (Dan Akroyd) with a television set. Another great film.
hha I love how they got progressively worse. Comment under the breath, being held back by friends, then finally all out ass kicking with his friends helping hha.
@Nautilus1972 Not his first two films but one of the first two starring roles "Class" was with Robbins. His second starring roll "Better off Dead" which by the way is a great film of its genre, didn't have an appearance by Robbins. Good point.
I could see Rob or Barry doing those things if provoked properly but when gentle EMO Dick smashes Ian's face with the phone & digs out the AC, I fall over laughing
If you havent imagined what it would be like to meet up with someone who's pissed you off and then how you would get even...you are a liar..That is why this clip is so damn funny
This always my wish to say "Can I help you?" with such distain that even half way across the store, the customer would know how much hate is between us!
Also, I love "Get 'em man". This skinny, calm, pacifist type character just tearing into Tim Robbins! I pee my pants every time!
LOL. I wonder who's idea it was 2 play the "Juice (Know the Ledge)" track when Cusack loses it at 1:26. If you've never seen this film, why r u still reading these comments, didn't u watch the scene? GET READY, MOTHERF*CKER, AND GO GET THE F*CKING MOVIE!!!
After years of heavy film watching (way too much) this is still in my top three all time favorites ("Though not in mine").
I like it when he says "dumb motherfucker." HAHA. I remember on my fifth viewing I had to finally put on the subtitles so that I could understand what he was screaming.
hahaha seeing tim robbins get his ass kicked is worth watching this clip over and over and over "you pathetic rebound fuck!" love it when the little skinny guy grabs the air condition unit. I have been laughing for hours. Can I put this clip on loop?
Barry's shirt and he uses his belt (?) to beat the shit out of Ian.
Which is a refrence to the second scene in A Clockwork Orange , where they beat the shit out of a bum.
And the main character (Alex) and his Droogs use canes and metal chains , and the character (Dim) that uses the chain is like Barry , a little fat(ish) and Barry uses his belt like Dim does with his chain , that he keeps around his waist LIKE A BELT!!!
the book is a lot better than the film imo. the book in way more in depth and intricate and more enjoyable than the film. i don't usually say that, but in this case...it's very true. this particular scene in the book is different. in the book it's set in rob's apartment instead of the record store, and the conversation is over the phone instead of face-to-face. but i'm glad they changed it 'cos it's way funnier this way! but if you like the film then you will love the book =]
i love this film but the book is very british so im not sure why they didnt hire britsh actors still then it wouldnt have jack black so i dont care and lol
You are absolutely right! When Dick slammed Ian (I can't stand Robbins anyway) with the phone and his teeth flew... I about fell out of my chair at the theater. And, the air conditioner... ROFL!!!
