Most Hilarious Movie Insults
8. White Men Can’t Jump
I said, ‘what you doing?’ She said, ‘moving’.” Wesley Snipes throwing some good old basketball court humour to our list in “White Men Can’t Jump.”
Smack talk is an integral part of sports competitions in the US. Athletes regularly try to destroy each other’s focus with a barrage of insults in order to gain a psychological advantage.
“White Men Can’t Jump” is a classic sports comedy that teams up Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as street hustlers. Woody Harrelson is a talented basketball player who cons money out of other players who believe he cannot play due to his skin colour.
After beating Wesley Snipes in a one-on-one match, the pair enter a major tournament that offers a grand prize of $5000. The film was loved by critics and audiences worldwide and was reportedly a favourite of director Stanley Kubrick.
Other scathing insults from the movie include “I’ll tell you what. Why don’t we take all these bricks and build a shelter for the homeless, so maybe your mother will have a place to stay” followed by “You are so stupid. It would take your mother one, no, two hours to watch 60 Minutes.”
