i absolutely love this film, its just so stupid and pointless and makes me laugh..

Loads of people hate it though and give me abuse for liking it.. obviously these people dont have taste or a sense of humour!!

Not my style but there is a good 3 minutes when "Music for a Found Harmonium" is played as part of the soundtrack near the end.
An instrumental covered by Patrick Street and part of their live set.

Supposedly permission was never sought from Patrick Street for including their music - it is their version on the movie. It did not appear on the soundtrack. Some great lines in that film, my favourite, "you're ruining all our lives and eating all our steak."

I don't think it was Patrick Street's version but I'm open to correction.
There is a harmonium intro in the film and PS have an Andy Irvine mandolin intro.

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra wrote the tune and they use a harmonium intro.

Good movie, but certainly one people love or hate.

I love the Rex Kwon Do scene.

Its ok, some funny bits, not as good as everyone makes out.

Only seen it once though, suppose I would needa see it about fifty times like all you have!

stpauls · July 30, 2008, 05:52:23 PM

watched it last night for the first time, and to be honest, it wasn't a funny as people have it made it out to be, though i still laughed my ass of at some parts!!
i like these kinds of movie, which is why i was a bit disappointed, but as someone said, it may just take watching it a couple of times to really appreciate it!!
