This and KINGPIN were the first movie posters I distinctly remember seeing behind the candy counter in my first year of seeing movies at the theater at age 6, wondering why Marv and Ray Stantz were kidnapping Blankman.
This is such a great statement. I don't know anyone else who would mention Blankman. This made my day. lol.
@TroubleToby3040Ай бұрын
Everybody else is mentioning Blankman *BIG shrug* but "Kingpin" is a comedy classic. My favorite Farrelly brothers film, over both "Dumb and Dumber" AND "There's Something About Mary".

@@tylertheguy3160 I always found it kinda odd how turned off Roger Ebert and other critics were at its dark comedic tone. Like yeah it is about a guy who stalks people due to having no friends, but Dumb & Dumber had jokes about rape, selling a dead bird to a blind kid, and fantasizing about impressing a date by tearing out a bad guy's heart. It isn't as if Jim Carrey went from Disney films to playing a serial killer.

I feel bad for Damon in hindsight, he jammed so hard from 1994 to 1996 and made solid movies each year, yet almost all of them underperformed smh. This one's not my favorite of any of the three but it's still a dang fun movie with good heart and soul. They really enjoyed making it and it shows in the camaraderie they had. Damon for me is one of my all time favorite comedy leads, Blankman and Major Payne I watched a ton as a kid, still love them. Stern I watched in Bushwacked all the time, and Akryoyd was Ellwood Blues, seeing this as a kid blew my mind. My mom wouldn't let me buy the tape and it took ages until I found it again.
