Cool Hand Luke/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: Yes, this is based on a (long-forgotten) novel.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Pretty much everything Luke does. Dragline gets one when he attacks Godfrey and knocks off his glasses after he shoots Luke.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The famous "tar sequence", which would actually be used for a quarter-century on various TV station newscasts, primarily ABC owned-and-operated stations.
  • Memetic Mutation: Two. "What we have here is a failure to communicate" and throwing the tennis ball against the wall.
