Charles DeMar walking up to the blonde haired antagonist and laughing at him after there's like a 5 minute pause while he's dancing with John Cusack's Ex-Girlfriend & LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF, right in his face while making the "Jerk Off" hand gesture is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my whole fucking life

[@ShAdYMiLkMaN98]

I don't mean to ruin the humor for you, and I could well be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's doing a shaving motion rather than the "jerk off" hand gesture, seeing as the joke he is laughing about is something about "shaving her before you kiss her goodnight", and you can see him trying to mouth the word "shave" through his laughter.

[@lifeisbetterwhenyourelax]

Me, too. First time I saw it I was doubled over and in pain from laughing so hard! Thought I was the only one!

[@leftyhara3876]

+IMaDEM0N "I think you ought to shave her a little closer before you kiss her good night"

[@MartyMcFly88]

ShAdYMiLkMaN98 yeah he’s doing the shaving motion

[@walterjeffreys40]

Taken out of context it's totally the jerking off motion, and the fact that I know he's making a shaving motion makes it 40x more funny 🤣

"Beth Broke up with me..." "Oh, that's nice"

First Chinese Brother: "Truly a sight to behold, a man beaten, the once great champ, now, a study in moppishness, no longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion." Lane: "See here's a perfect example, Two brothers... One speaks no English, the other learned English watching "The Wide World of Sports". So you tell me, which is better, speaking no English at all or only speaking Howard Cosell?"

[@NuanceOverDogma]

Play this at 1.25x faster, sounds much better and closer to how it sounds in the movie. Man this song and movie is soon underrated!!!

[@radiofreeacab]

+Harry Callahan You're almost right, but at 220 seconds for this version of the song and 190 seconds for the movie version of this song the correct ratio is ~1.16x. I believe someone slowed this version down for the sake of evading copyright claims, it just sounds way worse than the movie did.

[@pauleerockstar2744]

If you're still curious after 2 years... No one slowed it down, look up the differences between NTSC and PAL. Basically PAL versions play faster than NTSC by a small but just noticeable margin.
