That paperboy is out there. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity,or remorse,or fear. And he absolutely will not stop. Ever! Until he gets his two dollars.
I would've just given him the two dollars the minute I had it and he showed up. I would make sure it was on me all the time after the first one so when he showed up, I'd give it to him and he'd leave.
@@ericbattle4597 true.. like right at the end and youre ready for the cresits, and youve forgotten about 2 dollars.. here he comes .. lol . Perfect tried and true method.
I read an anecdote by John Cusack: years later he was arrested for some reason and was walking the perp walk through the jail. All the inmates started yelling, "I want my two dollars!"
The main paperboy kid Demian Slade was my friend in High School (I was in Junior High actually he was a few years older) his Aunt was my gym teacher. Anyway we went to the mall one time and just about everyone we passed said “TWO DOLLARS!!!” And he just looked at me and said “happens every day” lol 😂 A few years later I met Keith Coogan, the guy from “Don’t tell Mom the babysitters dead” and for him it was the same only it was “The dishes are done man!!” Lol
One of my favorite running gags in film history. I love that you can still hear the card clacking of the wheels on the mountain despite the wheels not moving, lol. This remains one of my favorite hidden gem movies since I saw it as a kid on the 80's.
As a former paperboy myself, I can sympathize with the boy's persistence in getting his payment. Collections at the end of the month were always a bitch, and sometimes you had to put in extra effort to ensure you got paid. That this gag was exaggerated through the whole film made it doubly hilarious for me, as I often found myself in similar situations. :-)
his whole lie reminded me of orgazmo movie when the mormon guy is trying to lie on the spot about the film he was starring in and he said it was a new version of death of a salesman.. "He didn't die from su!cide in the first film thats what u were led to believe...the CIA killed him for ...selling smack..... to... nazi's"
This is one of my all time favourite movies because it's so fucking original, is extremely entertaining with all the surrealism and plots woven together and can appeal to kids, teenangers and adults. It's 80s cinema at it's finest.
You don't understand, this paperboy is the bringer of smashed windows. He will never eat. He will sleep. He will never stop until he gets his two dollars.
Stalin pushed him off the mountain as he was in the way of the skiing contest he fell off from a high distance yet still miraculously managed to survive...
Same here. I was 5 years old when this movie came out and hadn't seen it since till now, but i will always remember that line. I forgot how scary and creepy that little fucker was.
I remember in fifth grade when we were asked to donate 2 dollars for something I can’t remember, and the teacher, being somebody with an actual soul, played this movie clip to show how important it was for each of us to give 2 dollars. Again, I don’t remember what it was that we were donating for.
I was just like that paper boy. Spent all my free time trying to collect paper route money from deadbeats always trying to get out of paying a couple bucks for a months worth of work.
Me also. From 1984-93 most of the time i was a paperboy delivering the Montreal Gazette. I worked about 10 hours a week, i made about a dollar per paper a week. 200 papers, $200 then tips, I payed my way thru university, cash upfront, No taxes to speak of
@@xomthood When people were assholes and lived in mansions and didnt pay they'd get woken up by a paper hitting their windows and doors LOUD!!! And if i really didnt like the customer and they left their milk bottles out for pickup they'd be shattered
One of my favorite movies! My younger brother owes me $2 and I've been harassing him, "I wan't my $2 dollars!" Over and over! He doesn't get it because he wasn't born yet. He just thinks I'm weird. 😂
me and my dad used to crack up watching this. i showed to my son a couple years ago. he cried laughing he's 19 now and still quotes parts to this movie.
The looks on the kids face in the first scene...so angry. Great acting. This movie had so many side gags, fantastic. And just the fact he just doesn't give him the 2 dollars, but decides to always run.
I’m into obscure cult Halloween costumes and this one is on my list for potentials. I’ll obviously have to make an obligatory “$2 dollar” sign to save from explaining it all night, but it’ll be a hit with people of my mindset lol
Crimson Shadow He wouldn’t be acting today, if not for those ‘80’s movies’ he was in. He needs to get over it, cuz it made him RICH AND FAMOUS THE PAST 40 YEARS!! He’d be in a trailer or apt in nowhere USA WATCHING HTTM on DVD. I get bummed when I hear actors who’s early work MADE THE WAY for their start and so few got that back then, and now want nothing to do with the reason they have the life they even have. It’s called UNGRATEFUL that you even got the role, or often, were lucky to be BORN into it, and nepotism that put em there.
@@missymyers9786 This is why i don' like knowing too much about entertainers, they usually end up disappointing you. Fuck Cusack, this is one of his best films. He should be proud of it, but these people always end up thinking they are the next Shakespeare.
I'm honestly impressed how many people were craving some better off dead ✨️ never met another soul who've seen this outside of me and my brother! Rock on.
Just be thankful he's not charging interest. He'd owe the kid five pounds of 24 karat gold, three twelve ton cells of high-voltage plasma from Russia, every holographic legendary Pokemon card in a laminated cardbook bound in the foreskins of the full cast of Jungle 2 Jungle and maybe Jumanji and The Notebook, depending on amount of leather required, a sandwich, my brother's sandwich, 30 human souls... and two dollars.
This kid has to be the ultimate video game boss , he has fight stages , boss quotes "Ah I cant swim " as he loses that round and has inhuman abilities and a large health bar.
When I was in high school there was this kid that asked me "Where's my money? " everytime I saw him. 9th through 12th grade this kid asked me where his money was every time I passed him. I figured he was joking or something. I would just ignore him and keep going. On graduation night we're standing there in cap and gown and he asked me again. I finally thought to ask if he was serious. He said I owed him a dollar from middle school. He was dead serious. I still didn't pay him back. I hope that doesn't come back to haunt me.
Thank you for putting that together dragonlord! I was just watching Premium Rush and whenever the bike cop was chasing the messengers all I could think of was those scenes with Johnny the paperboy. Love that movie!

@@lorianns3475 "Every time" ? He only does it once throughout the entire movie. More like "Only time".
That's not even the right quote
clarethawatson90@gmail.com
It's one of those movies you can re-watch and it's great every time.
I love how he waits for the garage door to open instead of blocking/catching the newspaper himself.
And risk a broken hand? If it can break a window, it can break a hand!
he shoulda used a pool net lol
" I want my two dollars!"
"No, I can't swim."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 😂😂😂😂
"Didn't ask for a dime!" My best friend and I would watch this scene over and over and laugh till we cried!
For me it's the half-hearted AHHHHHHHH as he goes over the cliff.
🤣
I had a cameo in that movie. They only paid me two dollars.
You mean: It paid two dollars, but they never actually paid me...
Well you made up for it with Quaker Oats ads as well as home medical equipment pitches lol
did you give that kid beetus?
Hope you're managing your beetus well. ❤️
RIP, brah
This kid has a future in the collection agency.
"He can track down anything or anyone"
Lmao 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
or the mob
It always killed me that you could still hear the cards in his spokes even thought he's on skis.
And his wheels don't move down the slope.
lmao must be the ptsd from dealing with his weird ass lol..
Lol I love the kid's scream when he goes off the mountain. Cheesiest half-hearted scream ever.
ahhhh! lol
enters the car wash..."no I can't swim!" lol
jet fire yeah that's my favorite part too
I can never stop laughing at that scene.
I was laughing my ass off when the paperboys emerged from the woods, that was epic! XD

I heard legends that he was a hitman, and was knocked off by the same guy who short changed him.
I love how terrified he is of the paperboy
love when he says OH MY GOD!! in pure terror when he sees him
I have decided my dying words are going to be "two dollars!"
lol thats funny
Maybe mine will be, "I can't swim."
This shit was to funny lol straight classic they dont make movies like this no more the 80s was so cool.

The kid is a legend lol

...there's something following them. (crowd gasps) LOL
2 DOLLARS! (Whish!) Lol take a hike brat...... AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh
KEYS!!! My brother and I would always say that whenever something was about to go wrong...LOL

I half expected a parachute to pop out of somewhere. That kid is resilient and relentless...
The way he fixed his bike with skis earns my respect. I've never seen anyone do that before.
I don't really remember the movie, but after all these years I remember that kid yelling 2 DOLLARS!!! I want my 2 dollars!!!

Worse job ever! Getting back several bounced checks, move outs .
No joke, if deadbeats didn't pay, the paperboy takes the hit.
I mean, in the case of the movie, the reason they didn’t want to pay him is because he kept breaking people’s windows
Me also. From 1984-93 most of the time i was a paperboy delivering the Montreal Gazette.

they paid homage to "i want my two dollars" in the movie hot tub time machine. right in front of john cusack.

2:19 Dustin Henderson became a paperboy in 1985. Stranger things have been known to happen.
you can tell the approximate age of a person if you randomly say the phrase, "two dollars", and they instantaneously know the reference.
That is one determined little kid.
i showed this to my 9 year old who was hounding me for 3 dollars...its still relevant. thanks for compiling this awesome clip!
That night scene with the other paperboys is so well done. I like how they all had their paper bags on, despite being off work.
