I almost shot my eye out when I read this! 25 years, holy cow I feel old. I wonder if they’ll do the 24 hour marathon on TNT again this year, which by the way doesn’t do it justice, you have to watch the DVD.

The movie captured authentic Americana. It will always be a classic.

Good point, it’s the political incorrectness of this movie which makes it so great. The Chinese restaurant scene is priceless “Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra-ra-ra-ra”!

It’s funny. I’m 37 and have never seen more than 5 minutes of that movie. I know the lamp scene and the tongue/pole scene, but that’s it. I always turn it off, wondering why everyone thinks it’s so great.
What am I missing?

When my son was about 9 yrs. old we bought him a Red Ryder BB gun. We followed the script right down to the letter. It was so much fun, and we can watch it as we video taped the whole thing. Watch the original every Thanksgiving to get us into the Christmas spirit.

I was in a Harbor Freight store yesterday and notice they had the Daisy 1948 Red Ryder Classic bb gun 350fps. The only thing I could think of looking at it was; “you are going to knock an eye out”.
