One of the best flicks from the 90s. Mark Wahlberg proved himself an actor in this film. Burt Reynold's major comeback. Or was it that piece of trash he made with Demi Moore? Oh well. Speaking of Moore's.... Julianne Moore should have won an Oscar or at least a golden globe.

This film was hot! One of the funniest scenes was when Dirk and Reed were trying to hustle the owner of the recording studio:

Dirk: Look, man, all we need is the tapes, all right?
Record Producer: No, you don't get the tapes until you've paid.
Dirk: In our situation, that doesn't make any fucking sense.
Reed Rothchild: Look, we can not pay for the tapes, unless we take the tapes to the record company, and get paid.
Dirk: Hello? Exactly.
Record Producer: That's not an MP, that's a YP, your problem. Come up with the money, or forget it.
Reed Rothchild: Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That fucking heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.
Dirk: Let me explain to him in simple arithmetic. One, two three! Because you don't fuckin' get it, Burt! You give us the tapes. We get the record contract. We come back and give you your fuckin' money. Have you heard the tapes? Have you even heard them? We're guaranteed a record deal. Our stuff is that good!
Record Producer: Now I get it. Now I understand. You want it to happen... but it's not going to happen. Because it's a Catch-22.
Dirk: What the fuck does that mean? What is a Catch-22, Burt?
Record Producer: Catch-22, gentleman. Think about it.
[pause]
Dirk: You know what I'm thinking about, man? I'm thinking about kicking some fuckin' ass!

One of the BEST. FILMS. EVER So many memorable scenes. I always tripped out on Rollergirl and the Red headed actresses scene where they become mother and daughter The sex scene in the driveway and the reaction and that follows. The kid lighting firecrackers while motorrev plays in the background. WTF

This movie is just excellent.

How about my girl Nina Hartley banging anything that walks?

the kid with the firecrackers and Thomas Jayne running in and out clip after clip to score drugs. Unfuckingbelievable.

about 10 years ago i could recite this movie word for word.

i haven't watched in about 10 years, though. gotta fire up the DVD player...

LOVE.THAT.MOVIE.

Mark Whalberg was a revelation to me as an actor in this and I completely fell in love with him for it. Julianne Moore also kicked ass majorly in this film.

My favorite movie of the 90s Love the music and the time period that this film takes place in (1977-1983).The storyline is excellent! Lots of great scenes and characters.

i went to see this in the cinema when it first came out. the only other person there was a guy in a mack.

Burt Reynolds got into character for Boogie Nights by acting in Striptease, then binging and forgetting all about it.

Lawd,

OK... you just broke my Blackberry screen.

My momma could've read your post and she's in Hyde Park and I'm downtown.

AND, she has a cataract in one eye.

Back on topic.

Who won for Best Supporting Actor (Oscar) that year? Reynolds was robbed; the Academy has never like him or should I say respected him.

Between this and her performance in Magnolia, she became the beloved Queen of Cinematic Messiness for me.

I have that same 2 disc DVD set. Definately one of my favorite movies.

Loved everything about this movie.

William H Macy is an absolute dream. Every scene he is in when he finds his wife banging someone new just kills me.

And the actual songs that John C Reilly and Mark Wahlberg come up with during the recording sessions:

"You Got the Power...... YEAH!!!!!!!"

Pure movie magic.

TheVoid said:

And to find out Mark Walberg's wally is just as plastic as MJ's face didn't help either.

I remember watching the movie for the first time on VHS. When I saw him unzip his pants, I really thought the camera was going to move away before his dick came out because they rarely show an actual dick in an R-Rated movie. When that thang floppped out and it was hairy too, I couldn't believe it and I instantly got hard as a rock. Hell, I hit that damn pause button and jacked off. Boy, was I disappointed when I found out it wasn't real.

Regardless, I still bought the DVD and couldn't wait to not only hit the pause button, but the zoom button as well. It still looks real.

Loved that flick.

Ok I just went temporarily blind from that monstrously large font.

breathe

dom nom ray kay yo!

shalom!

okay

so um.....

Dirk's dick at the end of the movie was like DAAYYUUMMM!!! I remember some chick let out a little scream in the theater. Or maybe that was me....I can't remember.

A dick that size would kill me and rip up my insides till I puked ovary. NO THANK YOU MR DIGGLER!

Thomas Jayne should have been naked in that movie. It's a travestey that we didn't at least see his ass and navel.

It was so sad (and unexpected) when he killed himself.

But uh....when he went into the room and shot his wife....did I hear 3 shots? Was that heffa bangin' two dudes at the same time? I guess that would send a man over the edge to see his wife gettin' hit from both ends.

Kill her and the two fucktards she's buggerin'...don't kill yourself. And he did it in front of everybody. Mofo had the nerve to crack a smile before pulling the trigger. Post Traumatic Stress.

I've always wanted to see Burt Reynolds' dick. He was always fine as hell and he still even looked decent in "Boogie Nights".

Back in the early 1980s, I had a Hustler magazine that had a couple layout called "Smokey And The Bandit" with Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields look-a-likes. That was one sexy layout. Damn, I wish I still had that magazine.

I remember when the film first came out and they used to advertise it, i thought it

was about disco dancing. Little did i know the movie was a parody of the porn industry.

Don Cheadle was funny in the movie as well.
