quotes from the Movie: All 18 quotes were
captured and recorded by Andrew Baranyi. |
| |
| 50,000
on Double Dragon-
At the beginning of the movie, Corey (Fred
Savage) notices that Jimmy got a score of
50,000 on Double Dragon |
| |
| He
could wax your tail- After
Haley (Jenny Lewis) confronts Corey and Jimmy
(Luke Edwards) in the backroom of the bus
station, they get into an argument over videogames
(lol). |
| |
| He's
a Wizard!- Watching Jimmy
play Ninja Gaiden, Haley realizes that Jimmy
isn't just any typical "video-head".
He's a Wizard! |
| |
| Great,
they're salesmen!- Corey
and Jimmy hustle two stereotypical salesmen
playing videogames. No matter how many times
I watch this scene, I just cannot contain
myself. |
| |
| Power
Magazines-
A classic Nintendo advertisement whereby Haley
plugs Nintendo Power at a diner. |
| |
|
What is this kid, some kind of cyborg?-
At a local arcade some redneck hick in the
backround, watches Jimmy play F1 Race. |
| |
| Lucas!-
Probably one of my favorite scenes in the
entire movie. I found it pretty pathetic listening
to them spew out countless Nintendo plugs
though: |
| "
Pick any game you want. I'm good at all of
them. I have 97 of them."-
Lucas holds a case of
97 nes games in front of everyone. |
| "I
love the poweglove. It's so bad!"
After playing rad racer (yet another game
licences by Nintendo at the time), Lucas celebrates
with his Powerglove. note.
The Powerglove does NOT make those corny button
sound effects. |
| "Yeah
well ah...Just keep your powergloves off her
pal huh.".
Corey protects Haley from Lucas and his "powergloves".
One of the most memorable lines in the entire
movie I might add. |
| |
| I
got the scroll weapon-
Beau Bridges discovers his love for the NES
as he dukes it out with Mega Turtle at the
end of level 3. |
| |
| I
got passed the river devil-
Boy that must have been difficult (lol!).Later
on in the movie Sam (Beau Bridges), Corey
and Jimmy's father, plugs yet another NES
game. Zelda II, The Adventure of link which
was released earlier that year. |
| |
| Listen
up fruit fly its time to get real-
Theres a quote in Roger Ebert's review of
this film that makes a lot of sense. "The
Wizard is the kind of movie where every adult
role is hapless". I have to agree
with him. It's the kind of movie where the
kids rule the stage. This particular quote
in the movie, where Putnam (Will Seltzer),
interrogates a child at a local arcade, is
a perfect example. |
| |
| Your
so thick!-
No thats NOT what she ment you dirty fuck!
After Corey, Jimmy and Haley get jumped by
those dumb hicks, Haley yells at Corey, just
as he's about to call his "Dad".
Back in the 80's, this must have been a common
phrase among the rebellious teens!
|
| |
| We
have 72 out of 97-
Haley tells Corey that Jimmy knows 72 out
of 97 videogames available at the time. |
| |
| Nintendo
Gameplay Hotline-
Haley calls Rick at Nintendo Gameplay and
asks him for help. |
| |
| He
touched my breast!-
THE most memorable line from the movie. In
a last gasp effort, Haley screams and yells
"He touched my breast". Remember
at the beginning of the movie?
"I'm Haley, if you don't tell me what
you're doing, I'm going to scream.".
They brought that line back. note.
Can you hear the sound effects from Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles, while the suspenseful
music is playing? |
| |
| Zelda!-
I guess this was supposed to be the romantic
part of the movie. Sitting atop Haley's trailer,
Corey tries to find an analogy between her
search for a home and "Zelda II".
"It's not sexist!
It's romatic." |
| |
| Dorklips-
A member from Lucas's "crew" comments
on his chances in the Video Armageddon finals.
I still believe Lucas was cast as a pimp in
this movie. |
| |
| Video
Armageddon-
The commentators voice at the contest |
| |
| Super
Mario Brothers Threeeeee-
The basis behind the WHOLE film! Walking out
of the theater after this movie, I can remember
wanting to buy Super Mario Brother 3, the
minute it came out on sale. Gosh that was
a long time ago! |
