      True, but the Pythons basically ceded the more glamorous parts to the American actors! Kline and Curtis's roles are more dynamic and funny than the parts the Pythons took for themselves.

      @@Unknown-jt1jo I should have worked that out. Stephan Frey one explained the difference between American and English comedy using the scene from Animal House where Belushi destroys a folk singer’s guitar. He said an American comedian would rather be Belushi. The Brit would rather be the folk singer. Not an exact parallel, but your observation seems consistent with Freys.

    Kline never fails to amaze. I know him best from "Dave" -- probably his most sympathetic character in his filmography.

      Actors awarding each other trophies and accolades is a shamefully overblown practice; every time I think of Hollywood, John Lydon's line from Open Up (w/ Leftfield) comes to mind:
      _"BURN, HOLLYWOOD BURN_
      _TAKE DOWN TINSEL DOWN_
      _BURN DOWN INTO THE GROUND"_
      Which isn't meant as a rebuke of your comment, BTW: I'm totally with you re Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda :)

    My best friend and I were 22 when this movie was released in 1988. We took Acid and saw it at a drive-in theater so we could smoke and drink while watching. Good thing we did because we were laughing so hard and loud (especially at Otto) that we probably would have been arrested for disturbing the peace in a walk-in theater. Kline and Cleese were absolute comedy gold!!

    Gone are the days of comedians in film...thouth there was Kevin Hart, Dave Chapelle...but they don`t seem to be working `lately`....
    No films you`d want to go to the trouble of driving to the local cinema to see. Line up for. ...which was part of the fun...when there were `good films`, blockbustgers....The days when we first got Indina Jones, Star wars, Blade runner, Tombstone, Unforgiven, Lord Of the rings films, 10....films you couldn`t stop talking about after seeing them...have movie posters on your walls maybe..

    Interesting enough, my brother actually thought that Otto was played by a British actor trying his best to sound American when he saw this movie for the first time. He didn’t know much about famous actors then, but I can see why he believed that considering the long, wordy insult he threw at John Cleese’s character at one iconic point in the film. In real life most Americans would just say something like “well f*ck you!” but to us that’s just part of the charm.
