I thought I was just being racist thinking that looked like Lenny Henry, but no, he was actually in a Hollywood film somehow.

At the time, Disney thought he could be a huge comedy star and signed him to a three-movie deal. Needless to say, the next two were never made.

I don't see Anna Faris on the poster and I believe Charlie Sheen's character died at the beginning of 4.

Of course, they could have called it Scary Movie: The Scariest or something like that.

Didn't most the cast of part 1 return for the seconds even thought they got killed off in 1?

Wow, I missed that. I was too busy checking that the film did in fact kill the director's career. Of course he totally has two films coming out next year. Definitely. Not made up at all.

I don't know why, but this is my favorite gag/joke in Scary Movie 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzuooxKRfyg
Its so simple yet for some reason it makes me laugh every time. Leslie Nielsen as the president was also great. Another of my favorite gags in that movie was this:

Scary Movie 3 was stupid but it was funny as poo poo.

Scary Movie 3 is the only one I've ever seen, and I thought it had really charming moments. I vaguely remember a part where a bunch of people were at an open-casket funeral where a guy died from the Ring ghost or whatever and someone looked down on him and said 'he looks so peaceful...' and it played a scare chord as it showed his messed-up face. Good times.

Mostly because Chris Elliott owns. And because since the franchise hadn't found its niche yet they just spoofed on horror movies in general instead of whatever was big at the box office that year.

Tim Curry is a magical man, he's always the best part in the terrible movies he stars in. I also love his voice work, it's kind of a pity that has audition tapes of him voicing the Joker for Batman TAS

That was Brenda, a girl, and she whooped that missing white girl who fell down a wells rear end. Also her corpse being at the ending scene was great. That movie was so loving dumb and so drat funny. YAHTZEE!

It's pretty remarkable how this clip strips out any and all context for his lines. It's literally just the shots of his lines with everything else cut out.

The first 3 Scary Movies are legitimately hilarious. The third definitely isn't as good as 1 or 2 but it had this Ring parody that gets me every time.

And half of those are just him grunting or making a face.

The description is quite something:

quote:

~This is literally every moment in which there is a closeup of Professor Oldman's face, or he speaks/emits a vocal sound. I practically went through the scenes that he is in frame by frame to find them all...~

I've probably missed a few closeups, though.

For those who are retarded and didn't read the credits, the ending song is The Zucchini Song by Tim Curry.

And I'm sorry, I can't video edit. ^^ I was using Windows Live Movie Maker, if that works as an excuse for my incompetence.

I personally hate the movie, it's the only one of the franchise I've ever watched, and the only parts I enjoyed were every single moment in which Tim Curry was present, and the dinner scene. Because that was actually just hilarious.

And drat. Tim Curry really looks dashing in this role. I mean, his character is a creep in this movie, and yet, somehow very, very sexy.

This video was made partially for the Curryfest Girls, who can be found here: http://curryfest.proboards.com/

Fan posters seem to always fall into extremes of either some obscure simplistic bullshit or a crowded collage of every single character in the film mashed together.

Bird in a Blender: Nov 17, 2005; It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Jamie Foxx is on that poster at least four times, Leo is on there like two or three times. The guy was spending way too much time filling up every inch of that poster.

I can't remember: is Night Bitch in the comic or is she the movie version of Mother Russia or whatever her name was? Either way those are some dumb posters.
