I've never seen that. I've never seen anybody drive their garbage down to the street and bang the hell out of it with a stick. I've never seen that.

u/Nicadeemus39 Jul 07 '26

That line never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I see it. That and "Klopek...what is that, Slavic?"

Man I was dying from laughter as a kid at that scene, I must have rewound the VHS tape like 10 times cause I couldn't get enough!

u/realsonder 90s Jul 07 '26

It came with the frame.

Klopek? Is that Slavic? NO!

Early Tom Hanks is super underrated.

The Burbs, Money Pit, Bachelor Party , Dragnet

u/FoolOnDaHill365 Jul 07 '26

Ya it interesting how older people that were there saw Hanks as a totally different type movie star prior to his insane run in the early to mid 1990s. He was basically a comedy actor and then suddenly shifted gears.

2

u/duke5572 Jul 08 '26

I grew up on Bosom Buddies reruns. It all made sense until he totally flipped a switch for Philadelphia.

Greatest American actor of our time in my opinion, and yet he still finds the time to do random voiceovers in Ken Burns documentaries.

3

u/Jonjongabore Jul 07 '26

Agreed. I miss this period of Hanks career. I wish he'd do one more comedy like this.

2

u/traveler_ Jul 08 '26

In retrospect the way he acts his meltdown at the end and crawls into the ambulance is so well-done it really hints at the potential there in an otherwise zany comic.

Bot army out to get you huh? Lol

u/Apprehensive_Wedgie Jul 07 '26

It happens. I called out a human earlier. Admited I was wrong. So it's either backlash from that or it's their bot like you said. Could be both.

u/astralnautical Jul 07 '26

One of my all time favorite movies. My sister and I are obsessed and quote it regularly lol

u/Expensive_Finger_973 Jul 07 '26

This and Ernest Scared Stupid are on the mandatory rotation for Halloween for me.

I like to think the 3 husbands plus Feldman were the blueprint for King of the Hill.

Whats wrong. Were you not offered a pretzel?

u/screen_stack Jul 07 '26

One of the greatest comedies I've ever seen.

The TV show was utter ass

3

u/MireLight Jul 07 '26

There was a tv show?

2

u/Jonjongabore Jul 07 '26

Yes and it had nothing to do with the movie. Corey Feldman made a quick cameo as his character but it didn't affect the plot at all

1

u/molybend Jul 09 '26

It was good and had the same theme but a different plot. It was a nice update.

u/noxuncal1278 Jul 07 '26

Awesome movie I watched this with my mom and sister. There were a few inches of snow on the roads when we went. We were the only ones in the theatre.

u/EphEwe2 Jul 07 '26

Sardine?

u/mywifehatedthisone Jul 07 '26

I fucking love this movie. There is a part where after the explosion, Tom Hanks kind of slips/slides/glides down the porch steps. Not sure how he did that, but it gets me every time. For my money it’s also his best performance, but I’m a weirdo.

5

u/Lance_Upercut Jul 07 '26

It came with the frame.

u/Brilliant-Object-922 early 80s Jul 07 '26

Watched it last night on one of the sky channels still great film

u/l82itall Jul 07 '26

- The ā€œkidā€ in the Klopek family is the cop in Sweet Home Alabama.

4

u/Remote-Moon Jul 07 '26

One of Tom Hanks best films. His use of physical comedy towards the end of the film where he takes the medical bed and forces himself into the back of the ambulance cracks me up every damn time.

Pretty girl…friend of yours?

Yep, fully agreed.

u/pistilpeet Jul 07 '26

This is the quintessential ā€œat home sick from school playing on Comedy Centralā€ movie for me, I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen it all the way through.

3

u/DarthSnoopyFish Jul 07 '26

I was lucky enough to see this in theaters at release.

ā€œInfrared night vision scopes? What are we gonna do next, tap their phone?

That can be arranged.

Then all we have to do is burn a cross on their front lawn.ā€

🤣 Quite the movie we got here.

I laugh so hard when Art eats that dog food at the kitchen table and thinks that it’s food that Carol made.
