    Almost!? This is 100% a cult classic, IMO! So many hilarious scenes in it that I can still recite verbatim.

    "Woman. Woah, man. Woooooaaah, man! She was a thief, you gotta belief, she stole my heart and my cat.
    "My name is John Johnson, but everyone here calls me Vicky."
    "I'm insensitive! I'm a very insensitive man! Stop your job, look at the insensitive man!"
    Alan Arkin as the "too nice" police captain.
    All the scenes where Myers playing his own father made Anthony LaPaglia break character:
    "I hated the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes..."
    "He'll be crying himself to sleep on his huge pillah!"
    And ofc the amazing bagpipe cover of Rod Stewart's Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? ending with "We have a piper down. I repeat, a piper is down." :P

    However, despite disagreeing about the "almost" part in the title, this is still a pretty interesting video. I had no idea the concept was originally inspired by Annie Hall but with her as a serial killer, and even originally had Woody Allen himself playing the lead. I also had no idea that the director Thomas Schlamme and Mike Myers had such serious issues with each other while filming, nor about the WGA writing credit dispute.

      Every once in a while I'll sing, "Josie. And those pussycats. They make me horny, Saturday morning."

          I need to rewatch that movie. I remember not entirely loving it when it came out. Nonetheless I find myself quoting bits from it so often despite not having seen it since the 90s that I'd probably agree now on its cult status.

            "It's like an orange on a toothpick!" "Head, paper, now!" That entire scene from start to finish is a quote goldmine. :P Even the ending with his mom kissing his friend a little too passionately...

That entire scene from start to finish is a quote goldmine. :P Even the ending with his mom kissing his friend a little too passionately while they leave, and saying "Wow, you've turned into a right sexy wee bastard, d'ya know tha'?" lol
