Real Genius – Has It Been 25 Years????

I can’t believe it’s been that long since the release of the uber-funny classic with Val Kilmer, before he got all serious and Doc Holiday on us! It was by far one of the best comedies from the 80’s.  Such wonderful dialog!

Chris Knight: So, if there’s anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know.
Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight: Not right now.
Susan: A girl’s gotta have her standards.

Jordan: Are you going to take me home to meet your parents?
Mitch: No.
Jordan: Why? Are you ashamed of me?
Mitch: No, them.
Jordan: Oh.

Chris Knight: You see Mitch, I used to be you. And lately I’ve been missing me so I asked Dr. Hathaway if I could room with me again and he said sure.

And one that I’ve used too many times… except with my own identity of course!

Darlington Recruiter: You *are* Chris Knight, aren’t you?
Chris Knight: I hope so. I’m wearing his underwear.

Here is a sample of the zany humor you’ll find throughout the movie.

Fun RG trivia (if you believe wiki) – To promote the film, the studio held what they billed as “the world’s first computer press conference” with Coolidge and Grazer answering journalists’ questions via computer terminals and relayed over the CompuServe computer network.
