Aaron T. Rex’s review:
Gale: All right, ya hayseeds, it's a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground.
Feisty Hayseed: Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see...
One of the funniest films ever. Nic, my man, you're the best.
One of those films that absolutely knocks me flat everytime I watch it. The definition of a masterpiece.
It's my favourite Coen's and probably my favourite Cage performance.
Funniest movie ever.
It just might be.
I just watched this for the first time recently and I'll admit it's pretty damn funny. The funniest thing to me for some reason is when Nic Cage is fighting the other guys in the trailer and he scraps his fingers on the top of the trailer. I'm laughing now just thinking about it.
Yes, I'm laughing now as well. It's so good.
