"NO! you cant touch it...no...you cant even look at it...stop filming it!"

i love that movie...they cut about an hour and a half out of it, so if you can get the special edition 2 disc and watch the extras...its got some CRAZY stuff on there, that explains some of the stuff you see in the movie...and some good playing as well :thu:

I guess I'm not the only one. My cat is named Nigel.

 

Favorite tap quotes include:

 

{censored} sandwich

 

None more black

 

She's dressed like an Austrailian's nightmare

 

You can't actually dust for vomit

 

We've got armadillos in our trousers

 

 

 

I could go on and on. I've seen this movie about 100 times. One of my all time favorites.

Favorite parts

Marty: Let's talk about your reviews a little bit...regarding 'Intravenus
de Milo': "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of
musical invention within. The musical growth rate of this band
cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of
retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
Nigel: That's, that's nit picking, isn't it?
Marty: 'The Gospel According to Spinal Tap': "This pretentious ponderous
collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the
question: "What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap and couldn't
he have rested on that day too?" "
David: Never heard that one!
Derek: That's a good one, that's a good one!
Marty: The review you had on 'Shark Sandwich'...which was merely a two
word review - just said "{censored} sandwich." Umm....
Derek: Where'd they print that, where'd they print that?
David: Where did that appear?
Nigel: That's not real, is it?
Derek: You can't print that.




AND



Ian: ...uh, we feel, I mean, we feel and it seems to be facts
that, uh...the company is rather down on the cover.
Is that the case?
Bobbi: Yes.
Ian: You can give it to me straight, you know.
Bobbi: Listen umm... they don't like the cover, they don't like the cover.
Ian: Uh huh, well that is certainly straight.
Bobbi: They find it very offensive and very sexist.
Ian: Well what exactly...do you find offensive, I mean, what's offensive?
Bobbi: Ian, you put a greased naked woman...
Ian: Yes...
Bobbi: ..on all fours...
Ian: Yes.
Bobbi: ...with a dog collar around her neck...
Ian: ...with a dog collar...
Bobbi: ...and a leash...
Ian: ...and a leash...
Bobbi: ...and a man's arm extended out up to here holding on to the leash
and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find
that offensive, you don't find that sexist?
Ian: No I don't, this is 1982, Bobbi, come on.
Bobbi: That's right it's 1982 get out of the 60's we don't have this
mentality any more.
Ian: Well you shoulda seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn't a glove
believe me.

Absolute classic film.IM going to go hit up blockbuster for it tonite,lol. A great spoof on some of the hair-band stuff and some bits were supposedly actually based on some of Zep/Sabbath's follies lol.

The foil in the pants when he's going through the metal-detector at the airport was a crack up,too!

I've seen it. It was pretty cool. Was expecting for it to be a little bit better though with all the hype about it. Still a great movie.



I think that is just technology these days. Everyone expects 3-hour epics, explosions, etc. due to Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.

Like the guy mentioned above, it is the kind of humor that isn't right up in your face. Musicians definitely can relate! :)

and the best part of that scene is when Nigel says "What's wrong with being Sexy?" and the whole band starts saying "ist, sex-ist!"

The DVD is twice as hilarious, because the commentary is done in character. So they accuse Marty of being a hack, and making them look stupid "He chooses the one night the pods didn't work to put in the film!"

and of course

'No, no, no! If I told them once, I told them a thousand times! Spinal Tap ABOVE the puppet show!"

That was based on a real incident on Priests Screaming for vengance tour. They wanted to lower Rob in a cage but one night the door got stuck:D

it is the most quotable film ever though, and i continually get odd looks for muttering about 'none more black', or sitting in the cinema saying something about it being in dobly, or nothing wrong with being sexy ;)

the film was all improvised too, which is awesome, the only scripted scene being the one with sir eton hogg (as the actor who played him dosent like improv)
the bonus stuff in the special edition is excellent too, i particularly like the extended scenes with Ricky and him playing :D
a while ago i found a huge three disk tap cd set on the bittorrent sites (nothing for sale) full of loads of bootlegs of odd shows and extra songs and alternative versions and stuff, most excellent, especially the full version of ricky playing with tap
