Top Secret was by far his best film imo. It had so many clever visual and scripted gags in it far too many to mention but for me
'He's a little horse'
'Latrine' the French resistance fighter
The Cow Scene
The prop room
Peter Cushing in the book store, with the film running backward
And Omar Sharif in the fake doggy do scene
Bloody brilliant film
The Polaris mine scene in that film cracks me up every time. "It is a magnetic mine, so powerful that it can attract itself to submarines miles away" - mine accidentally gets activated and a submarine crashes throught the wall and attaches itself to the mine.'He's a little horse'
'Latrine' the French resistance fighter
The Cow Scene
The prop room
Peter Cushing in the book store, with the film running backward
And Omar Sharif in the fake doggy do scene

"You must go now, quickly. If they find out you've seen this your life will be worth less than a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory".
Not sure how 'famous' he was, but Bob Bryar, former drummer with the band, My Chemical Romance.

I’m wondering if this is a chemically enhanced death, or not.
Is that supposed to be funny?Maybe you should have a read of his past and the third degree burns he had while filming a video and trying to carry on afterwards.

"It can only help me, can't it?"

"Hairbrushes for me barnet"

Still got the single and remember buying it at the time along with the chicken song. In the valleys of the land of song
And as the reds he puts to bed
He likes to sing along

Sadly the next line is about Willie Thorne who has also shuffled off, getting older and stars from your younger days seem to be leaving at a fair rate.
