Curt503,
That has to be my favorite line as well. It's just so out of left field cause Martin is expecting this expert answer. I always try to slip that in when someone asks me a computer question:
" Yeah, why is that?"
" Well, no one knows, really"
Having just turned legal age to buy alcohol, I was in the rum section the other day and lo and behold: Ron Rico rum. Nice little inside joke there

I love the part with the Rum too
I also love when he starts dancing in the rainforest and the whole guerilla and gorilla argument

I cracked up at the name Ron Rico. At that time, that was the name of the rum that my parents drank.

What exactly do you find funny or even tolerable about it? The jokes are way too telegraphed, and all the characters think they're way funnier than they actually are. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and even then I knew it was junk. I just tried to watch it again, even for the sake of laughing at how bad it is, but it's not even funny when doing that.

I guess it's just a matter of taste I suppposewhat some folks find funny others don't. I personally like mindless, lowbrow "humor-for-humor's sake" type comedy (think Three Stooges, Gilligan's Island, Airplane, All in the Family, etc) like Used Cars, 48 Hrs., and Captain Ron. Just funny to me that's about it.
But for the life of me, I can't find what folks think is so funny about, say, M.A.S.H.I've sat thru numerous episodes & never cracked a smile, but others rave about it. Just different tastes that's all.

"Hard to belive "Captain Ron" and "Wyatt Earp" (Tombstone) are the same guy!" I was just thinking the same thing. It's like you are in my head or something! Reviews are just reviews, this movie will last over time and hopefully go into the Smithsonian as the greatest movie of all time!

I agree with everybody, this was one of my guilty pleasure movies as a kid and I still love it today.
