Around the World in Eighty Days/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


2004 Film Version

  • The Black Scorpion leader threatens Phileas Fogg with his bracelet.

Phileas: Your threats do not frighten me, nor does your silly bracelet. (then a blade pops out of the bracelet)
Phileas: All right, it's not silly.

  • Passepartout is fighting while the caged Phileas coaches him, and not doing a very good job of it.

Fogg: Watch out to the right! (Passepartout misses)
Fogg: No, my right. (Passepartout gets hit)
Passepartout: Stop helping me!

  • What's really funny is seeing Jackie Chan after the Wright brothers find him.

Phileas Fogg: Have you seen our companion?
Wilbur Wright: You mean the half-naked Chinese man with a cow skull on his head singing Frère Jacques?

    • Need I say more?
