Name that Flick

Next time you see the movie, make a note of the names of the boxers mentioned in the begining.

DD's dad was Battlin' Jack Murdock, and he was a small-time boxer who got in trouble when some criminals

wanted him to throw a fight, and he didn't.

Anyway, there's a number of boxers mentioned in the beginning- they're all names of Marvel comics

staffers. The marquee also shows the match between John Romita and Jack Murdock.

John Romita- both Jr and Sr- were longtime artists at Marvel, and fairly well-known.

Back in the 80s, artists occasionally snuck into the art in Iron Man, t-shirts for the "JR Jr Fan Club."

In the scene when that stick is being examined (I think it's that scene), one of the characters is named

Quesada- no relation to Joe Quesada, current Editor-in-Chief (and head windbag, second only to

DC's own Dan DiDio in empty bluster and talentless self-promotion.)

Stan Lee's "Where's Waldo" moment comes when young Matt Murdock stops someone from crossing the

street against the light- that was Stan Lee with the newspaper.

My one complaint was Matt Murdock-with superenhanced hearing- comes home and blasts his radio.

Shouldn't that be the same as someone with normal hearing with one of those huge concert speakers

up to the ceiling, and turning THAT up?

The story- Elektra & Bullseye especially- was taken from when Frank Miller wrote DD, and that's the

best DD, IMHO, ever written (early 80s, and all DD is compared to that.)

They even had Bullseye recite the line "You're good, but me? I'm magic" before dealing the fatal blow.

Revised the second quote to the point it's now a giveaway.

"Hey, where's your hat?'

"I love you."

"I love you."

*****

"I been comin' here for six years, and for six years ya been stickin' it to me, an' I wanna know how come!"

"Ya don't wanna know!"

"I wanna know how come!"

"Ya wanna know?"

"I WANNA KNOW HOW!"

"OK, I'm gonna tell ya! You had the talent to become a good fighter, but instead of that, you become a legbreaker to some cheap, second rate loanshark!"

"It's a living!"

"It's a waste of life!

*****

"You put my stuff on skid row? I been in that locker six years; you put my stuff in a bag on skid row?"

*****

"What is keeping him up Bill, I dont know."

It is not.

This movie is so obvious you're missing it. Must be figuring I couldn't possibly be quoting something THAT easy, when I am.

"Don't get saucy with me, Bernaise!"

"Seize him!"

"Seize THIS, honkus!"

"Geez, don't ever say that to the COPS!"

"Half of the men will run with me- and the rest will run with Mucus!"

"Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich?

Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor?

How does the senate vote?"

"F*** THE POOR!"

"Bishop threatens Knight!"

"I'm fighting with CARDBOARD!"

"What-what-what??"

"Would you like a beverage? The mulled wine is very good..."

"Say when."

"8:30."

"Do you know the penalty for a slave that strikes a Roman citizen?

"Ok, you. You had your hand up first."

"Death by torture!"

"No. You."

"Crucifixion!"

"No. You."

"Where are you from?"

"Ethiopia."

"What part?"

"125th Street."

"Call Sammus Davis Jr! Call Sammus-he'll vouch for me!"

"Boy, when you 'die' at the palace, you really DIE at the palace!"

" It is said that the people are revolting."

"You said it! They stink on ice!"

"The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen...

*crash*

Ten! Ten commandments! For all to obey!"

"We are so poor, we do not even have a language! Just this stupid accent!"

"She's right, she's right! We all talk like Maurice Chevalier!"

"Count de Money!"

"DE-MO-NET, DE-MO-NET!"

"I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."

Note: There are no missing words here. The "..."s represent pauses.
