Why isn’t it called “The Movie Boner Thread”? How should I know? I’m not a doctor.
Meanwhile, if you haven’t heard Rob’s solo show where he talks about Movie Boners the direct link is here – 20120502.mp3
Do any of these count?
– In The Professional (aka Leon): “Stansfield” … “At your service” … “This is from Mathilda” … “Shit” … FUCK YEAH!
– In a similar vein: “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Fuck! Yeah!
– When Han shows up to the fight at the end of Star Wars. Vader: “WHAT?!?” … Han: “YEEEEEEAHHHHH HOOOOOOOO!!!” FUCK YEAH! Also Luke’s furious hacking at Vader once he fiiiiiiinally gives into his anger at the end of Return Of The Jedi. FUCK YEAH!
– A non-action boner moment in the first X-Men film shortly after Rogue meets Wolverine cagefighting in that backwoods bar and she asks him, looking at the knuckles of his fists where she’s just seen the claws emerge from and retract into, “Does it hurt?” And Wolvie replies like the coolest mofo who ever lived – “Every time.” Especially if you’re already a fan of Wolverine it sums up the torment and heroicness of that character perfectly in a single exchange. Fuck. Yes!
– The first time we see a dinosaur in Jurrassic Park. After all that build up it’s always magnificent to me to finally see one breathing. Ooooooohhhhh fuuuuck yeeessssss dinosaaaaaaaaaaaurs.
– I don’t know if documentaries count but one of my all-time favourite cinema moments is when Ali starts firing back off the ropes against the monster (aka George Foreman) in When We Were Kings. The commentator starts yelling excitedly but he’s half drowned out as the crowd begins a roar Ali on and only snippets of commentary can be heard as Ali rises like The Phoenix “… backs up Foreman! … backs him up in his tracks! … FOREMAN’S STAGGERED!!!” and shortly after Ali continuously landing that odd overhand right of his before firing off that six punch combination ending with the right cross which snaps George’s head back, and the beast is staggered again, this time stumbling in an odd wheeling motion, stumbling in half a circle around Ali, who doesn’t throw another shot, just watches his foe wheel and then fall to the mat. Then “THAT’S IT!!! THE FIGHT IS STOPPED!!!” while Ali walks away from the camera with his arms raised in victory as the crowd goes wild. FUCK YEAH STING LIKE A BEE!!!
– Johnny Ringo: “Weeeelllll … I didn’t think you had it in you” … Doc Holliday: “I’m your huckleberry” … FUCK YEAH HE’S YOUR HUCKLEBERRY JOHNNY RINGO!!!
– Rooster Cogburn, outnumbered and outgunned, goes on the charge in True Grit. FUCK YEAH CRUSTY OLD COWBOYS!!
– In Collateral when the alleyway theives find out Vincent isn’t just some helpless business man. FUCK YEAH SCIENTOLOGY HAIRCUTS!!!
- Women sense my power and they seek the life essence.
Indeed! I wish I could have recorded some kind of “reaction” track that has zero movie audio in it. I think you’d really be able to tell that this was one hell of an awesome movie.
Yessir. That was such a great experience, and has got to be one of the top five movie experiences in my life. John was completely blown away by the energy in the audience. I asked him, “What other movie experience have you ever had when people are yelling and screaming and applauding during the TRAILERS!?”
