Helen, ah I believe we need to keep this sequel mentioning under control. If I see it again, I will not hesitate to contact the moderators, and if you think I'm joking, just try me [Big Grin]

Package, now that you mention it, I actually now wish I put Dumb and Dumber in for D as that is my favourite Farrely brothers movie followed closely by Kingpin. Kingpin is an underrated classic.

It was actually pretty big when it came out here in the states Bernie. Yahoo Serious became an instant star because of it. Well, briefly, until his gawd awful follow up movies came out. And this movie was shown ALOT on the movie channels too. I think it's still considered a cult classic here if I'm not mistaken.
 
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
 
Yeah, it is amazing that how genius he was to come up with such a good movie and then come up with that utter garbage after. I honestly had no idea it would have even had an audience outside of Australia. That's good to know it's got a following over there.

"Yes," he said confidently. (And also because he wasn't about to pick "Xtro" as his choice for X.) [Smile]
