A Movie A Day: Quint on MOVING VIOLATIONS (1985)
Why is my back all wet?

Great Movie by MN_Batman	Jul 21st, 2008 03:41:19 AM
Always loved this movie. Hell it has the "Wheres The Beef" lady in it as well.
The anti-gravity sex scene... by Han Ol' Buddy	Jul 21st, 2008 03:46:46 AM
Classic 80's. Especially when the clothes start getting in on the action. I used to watch this on cable as a kid. The part when Fred Willard's character gets the woman to drink two bottles of vegetable oil and run on the highway was always funny. I know I'm missing a bunch of stuff...
Are you ready for the summer? by aint_it_cruel?	Jul 21st, 2008 03:55:30 AM
Are you ready for the Hot times? (sorry, last time...) Watching MV before Meatballs is like watching Agent for H.A.R.M. before Goldfinger.
double entendre by evolvingsensblty	Jul 21st, 2008 04:04:37 AM
you must be hungry Quint. All I can remember is the anti-gravity scene. "the first time should be special / memorable"...or something.
No love for MV, Quint? by Skraggo	Jul 21st, 2008 04:10:42 AM
Maybe it's a guilty pleasure, but this movie holds a definite spot in my 1980's-lovin' heart. Gotta love the old blind lady drunkenly shouting: "Yeeeaaaaaahhhh, fuck 'em!!!"
Alittle too Harsh. by Redfive!	Jul 21st, 2008 04:19:55 AM
You pointed out the obvious in alittle too harsh way man.I saw this back in the 80s when Police Academy was the shit and no it was NOT getting old when it came out,it was funny as hell and it still is funny today.
P.S.... by Redfive!	Jul 21st, 2008 04:22:02 AM
Where the review for the 1980s classic HUNK AND ELECTRIC DREAMS??
Oh, C'mon! by mrbeaks	Jul 21st, 2008 04:28:36 AM
An old man gets his nuts smashed by a runaway bowling ball in this! That shit's straight out of Wodehouse.
"Here's the leash, sir." by caruso_stalker217	Jul 21st, 2008 05:08:59 AM
"I'm going back to get the rest of the carcass off the road." James Keach. VACATION. Classic.
Jennifer Tilly so hot by JackieGleasonUFO	Jul 21st, 2008 06:06:52 AM
this movie is kinda funny but more so just a good peice of nostalgia for me and one to own becauser of Tilly.
No Pondscum that was Summer School by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jul 21st, 2008 06:31:52 AM
with Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, and oh yeah the kid who went from Little House on the Prairie to JAG, which spun of NCIS which stars Harmon - Patrick Laborteaux. Man, that guy put on weight from his late teens. He went from cool to geeky. Usually the reverse is true.
wow this was on daytime TV just last week! by the power of GREYSKULL	Jul 21st, 2008 06:49:06 AM
I just saw the bit with the really obviously gay cop arm wrestling with the lead - who leans over and plants one on him so he can win while the gay cop is pretending to be all disgusted - but I was having lunch so I had to turn off... From the makers of Police Academy alright
Moving Violations by Herb West	Jul 21st, 2008 07:30:43 AM
When I move. Great 80's flick.
Isn't John Murray on Mad Men now? by Cletus Van Damme	Jul 21st, 2008 07:38:11 AM
I think that was him I saw during A&E's marathon yesterday.
This movie rocks! by Montag666	Jul 21st, 2008 07:43:03 AM
Come on Quint! All you could think of was the where's the beef lady? How about the puppet show on wheels in the beginning of the movie? Or the parade at the end in which Sally Kellerman says "Get off me you friggin duck!" This movie is hilarious. Give it another spin.
I was wrong...I IMDB'ed him and it's Joel Murray by Cletus Van Damme	Jul 21st, 2008 07:46:24 AM
...on Mad Men, I mean.
MV = 80's classic by Sailor Rip	Jul 21st, 2008 08:00:09 AM
I'll take it over any Police Academy any day. What if the horror freak in this movie got together with Chainsaw from Summer School and made a buddy comedy. Did your socks just get blown right the fuck through your shoes?
Reno 911's Lieutenant Dangle an effete... by 12halfshell	Jul 21st, 2008 08:02:46 AM
version of James Keach's role here. With better anger management skills. Also, the shot of John Murray driving and jamming to music with his head through the steering wheel, priceless.
The Murray Bros. by skimn	Jul 21st, 2008 08:45:47 AM
And let's not forget Brian Doyle Murray. I remember Joel as the schlubby best friend on Dharma and Greg, which, yes, I only watched for Miss Elfman.
Curious to find the connect between by skimn	Jul 21st, 2008 08:51:48 AM
Meatballs and Cast A Giant Shadow...Bill Murray doesn't do a Kirk Douglas impression does he?
Finally, time for "Meatballs" by Philo_Beddo	Jul 21st, 2008 08:55:10 AM
"Spaz...Spaz...Spaz...Spaz..." The crowd gently chants his name as Spaz balances an egg on a spoon. A scene rivaled only by the finale of "Rocky" in the annals of inspirational scenes.
skimn... by Darkman	Jul 21st, 2008 09:11:45 AM
I'm pretty sure that Elmer Bernstein is the link, having scored both films. Mention of Joel Murray gets me to thinking about ONE CRAZY SUMMER. Funny movie.
yes mommy yes! by chokinonrhodes	Jul 21st, 2008 09:15:12 AM
I love this movie. Jennifer Tilly was actually kind of hot in it. I watched this film too many times to count when i was young.
I watched MV so many times on Showtime by Kraken	Jul 21st, 2008 11:04:54 AM
while my parents were at work. Man I loved that movie. The Fred Willard "engine repair" scene is a classic. Oddly enough, I think this movie WAS my Police Academy because I only saw Citizens On Patrol when I was a kid... I didn't see the first P.A. film until I was a teenager... so maybe that's why I loved MV so much.
Are you people crazy by hst666	Jul 21st, 2008 11:55:09 AM
I saw this movie in the 80s and it was mediocre then and it's mediocre now.
This movie has two great gags that I remember by BitterMan23	Jul 21st, 2008 12:03:56 PM
One: "It's not like she's a rocket scientist." (and then the payoff) Two: The very end of the film, Murray is driving home after they all got their licenses (undeservedly, if memory serves) and they have all been pulled over already.
Love The Scene... by Sinister187	Jul 21st, 2008 12:32:14 PM
Towards the end, where the car crashes and the duck flies off in slow-motion and says something like 'holy shit'.
"Do you know how fast you were driving Mr..." by TylerDurden3395	Jul 21st, 2008 01:49:04 PM
Indiana Jones?" Den-den-den-da, Den-den-da-da.... Classic!
TylerDurden3395 by Sailor Rip	Jul 21st, 2008 02:15:42 PM
Love that part. Then he makes that face to try and look like the picture. Classic.
was on Universal HD a week or so ago!!! by picardsucks	Jul 21st, 2008 02:39:25 PM
Lot of funny stuff. Why didn't this Murray Brother every make it big?? He was very clever in this.
i like the clothes having sex by slappy jones	Jul 21st, 2008 03:31:36 PM
great stuff
Wendie Jo Sperber by DennisMM	Jul 21st, 2008 03:41:08 PM
sigh Gods, she was hot. The very idea that she was treated like a hound on "Bosom Buddies" disturbed me. Hey, guys! She's fat, but look at that gorgeous face! And she wants you so bad she'll probably do the ice cube trick on the first date!
Don't forget Robert Conrad.... by otm shank	Jul 21st, 2008 06:43:04 PM
as the hot-headed police chief that Keech keeps pissing off.
I remember it being a good way to kill by Mace Tofu	Jul 21st, 2008 11:11:07 PM
a friday afternoon at the movies when it first came out. I also don't have it in my movie collection so that says something...
I liked this movie way back when... by grendel824	Jul 21st, 2008 11:22:15 PM
... probably more than it deserves, but enough that I picked up the DVD when I saw it for dirt cheap. There's a lot worse out there when it comes to "movies that aren't very good."
I heart Wendie Jo by Napoleon Park	Jul 22nd, 2008 12:05:41 AM
And being a sick sadistic fuck the scene where they humiliate her by having her play a character who drank two quarts of oil and then had to try not to shit in her panties actually turned me on a little in a really disturbing way. But there was an even worse moment once in an interview when she was telling a reporter that she was dying of cancer and was worried about who'd take care of her child and his reply was "What was it like working with Tom Hanks" and she gave him this disgusted "oh you stupid fuck" look. Really, some people's journalists. Agree with the above comments - she was incredibly sexy. That face, those lips, that cleavage.
"When the going gets tough..." by Bob Cryptonight	Jul 22nd, 2008 01:11:17 AM
"...the tough get going in their pants." I love this movie! It is my favorite of all "stupid" movies (where the jokes are so stupid that they make me laugh). The audio-commentary on the DVD is really interesting (the movie was an attempt to make a POLICE ACADEMY movie without bothering to hire any of those guys or feature "police" or an "academy" in prominent roles. Plus, no kidding, the director claims it was supposed to take place "in the near future"...?). I also love auto mechanic Fred Willard's deadpan delivery of all those lines that Wendy Jo Sperber supposedly confuses with a doctor's office examination. Boy, I sure miss her...
that 's a classic movie! by the milf lover	Jul 23rd, 2008 12:43:31 AM
I havent seen it in almost 20 years, but it was funny as hell! I had no idea it was even available on dvd!
