    • Quotes

      Young Boy: [Goody, with Red along, are in a tiny ice-cream vendor's truck] You're early. You're supposed to go down the next street first, then come up here.

      Eddie Goody: Well, listen. While we're here, can I sell you anything?

      Young Boy: No, I'm waiting for Judy Ann. They have a better flavor of pistachio.

      Red Leary: Look, kid, go fuck a duck.

    Old Movie that still kicks
    This film has a few weak spots in the script, but I sure like it. A heist movie, with a mean Kennedy in it. Jeff and Clent never made another movie, and they could be like Redford and Newman; they have movie chemistry. TBS edits this film too much, its recomended watching on video. Worth renting 7/10.
