Once upon a time, someone got this movie from ONE of the first quotes I
did. Is anyone besides George reading this thread right now?
This movie was filmed for $300,000. It grossed $47,000,000 (back when $47 million was a lot of money).
Set in Illinois in October, it was filmed in California in the spring. Autumn "leaves" were cut paper. In the background of several scenes, though, green trees (and even palm trees) can be seen.
The opening score and theme music were in 5/4 time.

The film was the first feature film for the lead actress, who has gone on to a very successful career. She was paid $8000 for this one. (Not chump change when this was filmed, but not a lot, either. That was more than my annual rent that year, but then, I was a graduate student living in a studio apartment!)
Several sequels and a remake have been in the theaters.

The point of the movie was not that virginity defeats psychos, but that virgins are more alert, not being distracted by sex.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

AFAIK, there were exactly 3 "Cannonball Run" movies.
(This is none of them, nor was it marketed as a comedy.)
The first CR was really good. The second CR was pretty good and was
the last movie (IIRC) that Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr worked with
Frank Sinatra. The third CR, aka "Speed Zone" was a miserable attempt
to cash in on the first 2, which is why it's known as "Speed Zone" as
much as CR3. Only 1 actor from EITHER of the first 2 movies appeared in
Speed Zone- Jaime Farr as the Prince, who didn't bother wearing a fake
beard in his scene, and wasn't accompanied by his trademark musical riff
from the first 2 movies.
Hopefully, there will be no further plans to do a CR movie.

Well, this movie seems to be a remade comedy that involves a lot of cars.
You say it wasn't marketed as a comedy, though the lines you posted are pretty funny.
I recognize some of the stars, but can't think of anything with them together. Perhaps if you gave some of the cast of the ORIGINAL..

I caught the AJ and NC reference, but I still can't think of the movie.
It's possible that human, hiway (and MAYBE rottie and Raf) are reading this. If so, they're probably in the dark as much as I am. :)

"Hey! Hold it right there!"
"Yes."
"What do you mean, "yes"?"
"Yes."
"Is that all you can say?"
"No."
"Know anything else?"
"Yes."
"Positive and negative, huh? You're a Bit."
"Yes."
The Academy refused to consider this movie for the Special Effects Oscar, despite it
using Special Effects for maybe 1/2 the movie. They felt it was "cheating" to use
CGI of any type for any kind of special effect and disqualified them for that.
They did get nominated for Costume Design, but lost to "Ghandi."

Early 80's...
"Tron"?

That's it.
That was the year I stopped taking the Oscars seriously. Tron wasn't a GREAT movie, but it
should have been a lock for SFX, and Ghandi didn't really need any costumes designed,
since any well-equipped studio should have had the outfits whereas Tron had costumes
designed from the ground up.
The quote was Flynn encountering a "Bit" inside the computer. It knew stuff but only
communicated "yes" and "no."

This movie was filmed for $300,000. It grossed $47,000,000 (back when $47 million was a lot of money).
Set in Illinois in October, it was filmed in California in the spring. Autumn "leaves" were cut paper. In the background of several scenes, though, green trees (and even palm trees) can be seen.
The opening score and theme music were in 5/4 time.

The film was the first feature film for the lead actress, who has gone on to a very successful career. She was paid $8000 for this one. (Not chump change when this was filmed, but not a lot, either. That was more than my annual rent that year, but then, I was a graduate student living in a studio apartment!)

I kept focusing on the "Illinois" when the "October" was the clue. Silly me.
Imagine what the movie would have been like if Michael Myers had worn an unaltered
Shatner mask and killed looking like Shatner.....
This is the original "Halloween" movie.

This story has seen 14 different versions made into movies. 6 were silent films,
at least 1 was a television-film and didn't air in theaters.
2 were French, one was Soviet, 1 was Danish, 1 was Italian, and the rest
were US or UK versions(as far as I know.)
What do Mel Gibson and David Tennant have in common?

The story of Jesus or the Passion? (Unlikely for a Soviet film, but who knows?)
They both speak English.
They're both older than 20.
They both make a lot of money.

The versions of that story are not versions of the story I'm addressing at this time.
About both actors, technically true, but not germane to the round.
(Also true: two actors who have never been in my kitchen, but also not germane.)

Reminds me of the "Cheers" episode where Cliff is on "Jeopardy"! :)

Not to mention 1 opera version.
Depending on the director, it's been a film noir, an action adventure, or an epic.
(A critic said that, and I agree with him.)
It's also been adapted, sometimes radically. (Bob and Doug Mackenzie? Really?)
(A Spaghetti Western???)
