Best wooden performance in a film.

[bisonbison]

I'm gonna have to go with the 2x4-bat-thing from Walking Tall, but I'm willing to consider other nominations.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

The multiple bat scene in casino. That was nuts.


BTW walking tall is clearly the best screen play ever written.

[BusterStacks]

werent those bats metal? I think they were

[Clarkmeister]

Wonderboy.

[BusterStacks]

I think I am going to have to go with the handcarved altar from Meet the Parents. Burnt to a crisp and still made the wedding. What a comeback.

[BusterStacks]

Hrmm, I'm not sure but I thought I remember them making the "clink" sound of metal. Only one way to settle it though, "Casino" party.

I dated a chick who thought Point Break was the best movie ever made. We never had a second date. Although, she did say she enjoyed tractor pulls. Perhaps I was too judgemental?

Not the best ever made, but it was one of the best Keanu Reeves movies. Matrix, Point Break, then the 2 Bill & Ted movies.

[Emmitt2222]

the bats in Casino are metal, ao alas they do not make the list

[JoeC]

Yes. And it's not even close.

[JoeC]

Oops I didn't see goofball wrote the same thing. How much are the royalties?

[Boris]

The Rundown has some good wood when the Rock is fighting the Amazon rebels.

[bdk3clash]

Vince's cue stick in "The Color of Money," tied with Eddie Felson's in "The Hustler."

Honestly, though, "Wonderboy" wins this hands down. I'm a pretty big fan of the "Savoy Special" the fat batboy hands him, too. And yes, I knew the second bat's name without having to Google it.

[bernie]

Anything with Keanu Reeves. The way he acts, he oughtta be made of wood.

[plaster8]

I like the seniors' paddles in Dazed and Confused.

For human "wooden" performances, I nominate Natalie Portman in Star Wars episodes I and II.

Just got back from a home game. When I pulled up in front of my house, the paper guy pulled up and handed me my Sunday Seattle Times. That was weird.

[housenuts]

the answer is clearly the stick fight in the movie Slapshot

[housenuts]

oh yes, and who can forget the classic "swing away" and Signs.

also, not sure if this counts but in Misery when Kathy Bates uses the sledgehammer on the authors ankles.

oh ya, harry potter's magic wand and his nimbus 3000 are also amazing uses of wood. er, i mean...

This topic comes up from time to time, and everyone misses the answer.

Keanu Reeves was actually great in two movies: My Own Private Idaho and River's Edge.

Of the two, I prefer River's Edge.

I'd go so far as to say it's a GREAT movie.

[Rushmore]

It's one of two, and it's close:

The Log Lady's log in Fire, Walk With Me, or the little carved figurines of Scout and Jem that Boo Radley placed in the hollow of the tree in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Come ON, people!

[El Maximo]

Ill have to go with Carl Weather's hand carved prosthetic arm in Happy Gilmore. That was just too funny.

[Rob Blackburn]

The skateboards in Gleaming the Cube!(Christian Slater is so the poor man's Keanu Reeves.)

PS..Can I get that birds number who thought Point Break was the best movie ever, I also happen to think it was a cineamatic masterpiece. She likes tractor pulls too! Sounds like my future wife.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

The fight on the river with the bo staffs.

Probably the only time in my life a plain shaft of wood made me laugh.

Uh Huh.

Oh yeah the answer is the trees in Return of the Jedi during the LandBike scene.


And I don't even like Star Wars that much.
