60 of 95 · most liked firstIf you have ever seen the classic movie "Stripes" from 1981, Brian Kilmeade gives the worst description of the film imaginable. Bill Murray is only one character in the film. It's an ensemble piece. How could you forget to mention John Candy and Harold Ramis?

neutral · AI labelView post →Want to feel old? In the movie "Stripes," Bill Murray's army unit sang the early rock n roll song "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy” while marching. If the movie was made today, songs that would be just as old include "Single Ladies" by Beyoncé and "Low” by Flo Rida (feat. T-Pain).

In a scene midway through the movie, Cowboy introduces his squad to Joker and Rafterman: “They’re from Stars and Stripes; they’ll make you famous.”

positive · AI labelView post →She didn’t make a material error of fact. She was poking fun at the Brits. She knew exactly what she was doing. Give her a little credit. ”Lighten up, Francis“ is a line from the movie “Stripes.” It’s a comedy.

Lots of slapstick, a little nudity but nothing graphic, and the last half hour is nothing but shit exploding. John even does a Curley Howard impersonation during the mud wrestling scene.

positive · AI labelView post →I'm just remembering Bill Murray's wonderful speech from the movie "Stripes": We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We *are* the wretched refuse.

But "Midnight Run" (a great film which apparently I memory holed that every third word is a curse) or Stripes (for a variety of things but, yeah, there's bikini clad mud wrestling).
