It’s criminal that this video was cut off right before Derek Smalls’ next line.

NO! We're not going to do F****G STONEHENGE!!!

If they didnt cut before the best line, this KZbin video would be the whole movie

[@gurgisjones1120]

That's what I was thinking. This needed to go just a bit farther, and would have ended the scene perfectly. "Are we still going to do Stonehenge"? "No, we're not fucking going to do Stonehenge!"

'Spinal Tap' remains the funniest film ever made, followed closely by Christopher Guest's other films. Yes, I know Rob Reiner directed this, but it is clearly a Christopher Guest-driven film.

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

I had an English girlfriend who thought "This is Spinal Tap" was a serious documentary. I had to point out to her that it starred the "Meat Head" from "All in the Family" and Lenny from "Lavern and Shirley" was lead guitar. I don't think she had ever seen it all the way through. In this clip I see Johnny Fever from "WKRP in Cincinnati" and "The Nanny".

[@FortyHurts]

Except Lenny was the lead singer - the six-fingered man from The Princess Bride was the lead guitarist.
