The Great Race/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Hannibal 8! Also a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
  • The movie features the largest pie fight ever staged, with a running gag that Leslie remains clean while everyone else is covered in pie. That is until hit got hit by Friendly Fire, ops! The pies used during the scene were real, containing fruit, custard, whipped cream and everything! After they were done the crew devoured more than 300 leftover pies!
  • "Push the Button, Max!"
    • "Until the water reaches my lower lip, and then I'm going to mention it to SOMEBODY!"
    • "Leslie escaped with a chicken?"
  • The Prince has some good lines too.
    • "Umm... brandy! Throw more brandy, throw brandy! More brandy! Brandy!"
    • "Umm... rum! I never mix my pies!"
    • "I'm getting a new tucker-inner! Banished, banished, banished!"
  • One word says it all. "Maaaax!"
  • When Max rigs all the other cars at the beginning of the race:

Professor Fate: What's next?
Max: Car number five, the engine falls out!
Professor Fate: Car number five! Ha ha ha ha! (beat) Er, Max... we're number five. (engine falls out)
