When you mentioned "Can't Buy Me Love", I pictured in my mind someone saying the quote in what I, for a second, thought was that movie, but then realized that I was thinking of a different Patrick Dempsey movie: "Loverboy". The one where he's delivering pizzas and basically working as a male prostitute every time someone orders one with extra anchovies. It seems like either he might have said it himself or that his "surfer dude" stereotype friend said it, or the Italian guy who's trying to make it with his mom. I'm probably wrong though.

just so you all know...I have still never figured this out. Pretty lame huh?

I'm thinking Gotcha! with Anthony Edwards and Linda Fiorentino (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089222/)

or maybe

Kindergarten Cop (but I don't think the film is old enough)...

I too have been saying this for ever... since definately the 80s and definately with a Russian acccent...

Personal Best? no.

that is funny that you say Gotcha!
It is one of the movies I have always wondered. I guess I need to rent it and watch it again and see if its it. I think its an 80's movie too....sob...this is killin' me

haha... i just did a quick google search and i didn't find the answer, but i did find at least a dozen websites/message boards where you've asked this same question. :)

lol
you know its bad when google search come up with message board posts you've posted

alright.....i'm voting more Austin Powers.

but another one that hasnt been mentioned has hit me. could it possibly be from 50 First Dates? their was a crazy German chick in that who said some pretty funny shit once and a while.

They may have used the quote but they didn't originate it... I've been using this quote since the mid 80s at least. My brother also uses it...

I just read three pages of this while racking my brains - fully expecting to find the answer at the end.

The quote is so fucking familiar.. I have a vision of a blond haired, Russian/Eastern European woman saying it, I just can't put it in context.

That was the prostitute you visited last week... really Jwoody, stay focused. :lol:

I did go to Prague on a stag-weekend last year.

My only memory of that is the Strong-like-bull hotel manager demanding money to clean his jacuzzi... I did offer to do it myself but when somebody has your passport you're in their pocket.

The few suggestions I found are either
Bull Durham or Spies Like Us

I watched Spies like Us recently. All of it. Its not it. :( Friggin' torture

Why in the name of all that's holy would you start a thread like this where so many obsessive compulsive people like me would read it!? YOU DIRTY BASTARD. . . alright, now back to searching. . . You wanted me to hate you, didn't you?

I've just had a moment. . . what about the movie Major League? Either the little japanese guy, or the guy that's into voodoo?

Because I was hoping that someone might more obsessive compulsive than me and actually know the movie we are all thinking about. *cries*

I dont know if its Major League. Doesn't ring a bell but that doesn't mean its not it.

Major League is too current... it's older than that...

ive seen that...thats a cd...not a movie silly :)

:) I'm recruiting minions into the search, two more pissed off people already!

NICE! I've got everyone at my work on it. Well..I had them on it. They gave up. I ask every person I meet (honest to god I do). Thats how obsessed with figuring this out I am. RECRUIT AWAY MY BROTHER!

You sure it's not Gotcha! and something Nadia said?

No. I am not sure. Anybody have the movie?

I've seen the movie - -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089222/
The character is Sasha -- it's possible -- but it's not on the "memorable Quotes" page

For the life of me I cannot find Gotcha!'s script online. Same with Blazing Saddles.

If it's worth money to you, I'd recommend trying this out:

Google Answers. Might be useful. Might save you some sanity. Might save us some as well.

Mal, do I date myself when I say I remember this line from Gotcha! - "Mi lapiz es grande y amarillo." :D

Xenia Onatopp from Goldeneye might have said it at some point.

hahaha.. i already tried that a loooooong time ago with no luck.

There was just assumptions and possible originations but no response to the movie we are all thinking of.

ive watch most of Goldeneye for that purpose but she never said it. It is possible it was in a scene I missed. I even checked the script and its not in there.

I've seen Gotcha! a million times but I couldn't tell you for certainty if its in there or not.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you're simply legally insane? :D

yes sir. I've considered it once...... once.

I have two friends working on it: a film student from Emerson and a guy who is known as "the Oracle" when it comes to looking stuff up. I know you said you've looked at everything the internet has to offer, but if anyone I know will find it, on the internet or otherwise, it's one of these guys. I'll get back to you.

Before-I-even-posted update: One insists it's Rocky IV. I know you've said many times that's not it, but why? Just so I have something to tell him.


By the way, way to piss off three more people. :mad: :p

I am dumbfounded that this thread is still alive, and unsolved. I have no useful resources to add to the hunt, except my moral support. Good luck, guys!

I know its not Rocky IV because I watched it recently specifically to see if the quote was in the movie. The scene most people think it is when his wife talks at the press conference (jts not) and when the coach is talking to the TV crew about Drago (its not). He refers to Drago as a piece of iron or something. Plus, I've checked the script and its not in there.

It is possible this quote was implanted into us by Aliens as a trick!

It might be in Leon. He tries to get the girl to drink milk a few times.

My wife suggested one and I don't think that it has been put forward before. "I Love You to Death" with Kevin Kline and Tracy Ullman. The mother-in-law character is vaguely eastern european and speaks with a heavy accent. She and the wife are conspiring to kill Kevin Kline's character. One of the ways that they try is by poisoning with food. She could have said the line in an attempt to get him to eat something poisoned.

Has anyone seen that one recently? It was out in 1990, so it fits roughly in the time frame that everyone seems to have in mind. I don't think that we have it on tape anymore or my wife would watch it and find out for sure.

Next broadcast is Mon 4/11 3:00 PM on Comedy Central. I won't have the time to check it, however, any volunteers?

I cant say that I've ever really watched that movie. I believe I know of it. I sorta remember someone in that movie with an ace bandage around her head...but I dont think I really watched the whole thing from start to end. Sometimes I think that maybe its some movie like Patriot Games. There was some fat russian chick that some spy came and banged her then he left and her friend came in and she started talking about him and said that he was strong like bull. But then I think thats not it at all. I think its a comedy and somebody gives somebody something and says "drink this..make you strong, like bull". Maybe like Love Potion #9 but I know its not that. SOB...this sucks. How is it possible we ALL know this quote....all the way down to the way the person says it....with that damn russian accent but nobody can place it. I wanna scream.
