      Dave: It was an accident. I'll take it again. I can fail, I know I can.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK VHS version was cut by 48 secs by the BBFC to remove all footage of Texasin moottorisahamurhat (1974). This film was banned on video at the time and so no footage could be included.

    Funny Classic, however....
    I have a question.

    Why was Shoop at the strip club?

    It couldn't have been to find Larry, because he didn't know he was there.

    There was no scene either before or after the strip club scene to explain why he went there in the first place.

    So...why?
