Withnail And I

[witchdoc187]

Love this film. I swear there is an extended version as Ive always quoted a part where they arrive at his uncles and argue about who's going to kill the chicken and pluck it's feathers. Yet the last couple of times I've seen it it doesn't exist. Can someone confirm this isn't just in my head?

Very, very foolish words, man.

"His mechanism's gone."

 

[Naisy'sCharitableLeanings]

Laisse-moi, respirer, longtemps, longtemps, l'odeur de tes cheveux.

"Ah, Baudelaire..."

"You perfumed ponce"

"I called him a ponce, and now I'm calling you one. Ponce!"

I've had the film on VHS, DVD and Bluray, and that scene has been in every version. Maybe you watched it on telly and it was edited out for some reason, but I can't think why it would be?

I bought the soundtrack CD in a shop in Brighton about 20 years ago and now discover it's quite a prized item on eBay.

I think it was withdrawn over royalty issues with the estate of Hendrix?

That's a relief. I did however completely invent a scene in the horror film 'asylum' from the 70's, which would have improved it. Then banged on about how it was the best part of the film.

Yet again that oaf has destroyed my day

Good idea for a thread - invent and add a scene to a film.

I can't remember one quote but I do remember laughing my head off and it being thoroughly enjoyable.

Uncle Monty might be my most favourite film character ever "I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain je ne sais quoi oh so very special about a firm young carrot."

*Nods sagely; Oh my word yes, a very versatile veg indeed.

 

[degsy]

...never heard of it.

me neither but sounds worth a watch...after all how bad can it be compared to some of the old tosh we watch

My thumbs have gone weird.

I can recall several farcical scenes like that in real life!
