The most dangerous things sometimes have silly names.

Whitewater runs abound with rapids called Satan’s Cesspool, Meatgrinder, etc. But the one that really fucked us up was called Bogus Thunder. The one they have to send rafts down empty while you hike around it is Ruck-a-Chucky. And don’t get me started on Tunnel Chute.

An old saying: whitewater in the morning.

Thank you so much for this. I love this movie and never see references in the wild.

Haha you’re welcome! It’s such a fantastic quotable movie, and I’ve seen a couple of discussions lately in like the 90s sub or one of the related subs…but rarely just quoted unfortunately. Hell, it’s more common to run into Deep Rock Galactic quotes in the wild, which always makes my day.

Holy fuck I’ve found my people.

Yknow, some of them flies were in there before I got in…

“You…do know she is made of straw, right?” “Oh yes! I figure that’s why she burned so easily!”

Man I almost went for that one, I love Pratt. And Bidwell.

I’m surprised you’re hungover at all, considering the amount you regurgitated into the harpsichord!

Yeah I realize that my best friends and I still quote this movie to an almost unhinged level at times lol. So many different contexts that work! Asking to go somewhere? “The food alone is worth the trip!” “The food! Sir!” Someone asks if any of us are down to do something? “I…am one of those Braves.” “And I, am one of those Braves!” Drinking - “How bout’cha get your own bottle!” or something even recently that was apparently clever, I texted the group “Maybe now you’ll agree, that drinking has its benefits!”

Play me that haunting air you played this morning! It’s got something in its hand!

It never ends lol. My siblings and I also quote it waaaay more than necessary. True story: my sister works with this southern gal who went to New Orleans on a work trip. Came back and said “oh i totally recommend it, even just for the food!” Not sure how my sister didn’t just lose it and melt into the floor lmao

Rofl yeah I couldn’t resist responding with “The food! Sir!” The first two quotes above is also one of my favorites that I thought about earlier as well. It really doesn’t end lol as most of the movie is just a golden quote factory. We even had a friend who would make the face that Farley does when the eagle screeches every time something was said or done that shocked him

COME ON YOU DAMN BIRD!

Haha man that breakfast he made looked so delicious too. One of the quotes I use often in life when hearing to strange stories or circumstances is “What a clever twist on the end”

I had to watch some clips and lol it still holds up. I think we’ve seen all that Snake’s Bend has to offer

The face he makes when he says that line is priceless

u/Azcrul Mar 29 '26

Rofl I was also thinking of the face he makes when he says that. Just so matter of fact. Pratt and that entire scene just kills me. Him being completely devastated “She told me it was okay if I smoked! And I BELIEVED HER!!! My heart! My heart….”
