TOPIC: the vengeance scale
Posted  Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 11:27 AM
Post 1 of 17
this is infinitely more entertaining than i love the 90s. fans of wrestling, sport, and cheesy movies take note (these are just the juiciest bits):

"Quote"
0.0 -- Rocky Balboa beating up Tommy Gunn.
0.1 -- O.J. Simpson's valiant attempt to find the "real killers."
0.3 -- The immortal Frankie Williams after Roddy Piper cleaned his clock on "Piper's Pit."
0.7 -- Robin Ventura charging the mound against Nolan Ryan.
1.3 -- Donna Martin after finding out that Ray Pruit slept with Valerie ... Brenda's reponse after Kelly stole Dylan away from her (both from "90210").
1.4 -- Cameran breaking Charlie's guitar (from "Real World: San Diego") ... Lisa turning Chet into Jabba the Hut (from "Weird Science") ... Moses Malone vowing revenge on the Sixers after they traded him in '86 ... Paul Westphal in the '76 Finals ... Puck sticking his fingers into Pedro's peanut butter.
1.8 -- George Costanza feeding lobster in an omelete to Jerry's non-lobster-eating girlfriend ... Scottie Pippen's dunk on Ewing's head in the '94 playoffs (the one where he stood over him and glared).
2.3 -- Sato's cousin vowing revenge in "Karate Kid 2." (Penalty points because he got his butt handed to him by Daniel-San.)
2.8 -- Brad Pitt killing Kevin Spacey after being handed a box with his girlfriend's head in it (from "Seven" -- penalty points because he deliberated a little too long).
2.9 -- Andre the Giant after Big John Studd and Ken Patera cut his hair ... Andre the Giant after Killer Khan broke his leg.
3.2 -- Ty Webb deciding to play against Judge Smails in the big "Caddyshack" skins match ("My father never liked you").
4.0 -- Daniel LaRusso somehow toppling all of Cobra Kai in one karate tournament (possibly apocryphal).
4.1 -- Sugar Ray Leonard beating Roberto Duran after the "No Mas" fight.
4.6 -- John Kreese and Terry Silva against Daniel-San in "Karate Kid 3" (extra points here because of the premise -- a billionaire businessman taking time out of his busy schedule to destroy an aging local teenage karate champion.)
4.8 -- Inigo Montoya vanquishing Count Rugen in "The Princess Bride" -- "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." (Penalty points because this was a kid's movie.)
4.9 -- Kerry Von Erich getting his head slammed in a cage door by the Freebirds (launching the classic Freebirds-Von Erichs feud) ... Hulk Hogan vowing revenge on (fill in the blank: Macho Man Savage, Paul Orndorff, Brutus the Barber, Andre the Giant).
5.2 -- Isiah dropping 44 on John Stockton after "Dream Team 1" was announced.
6.1 -- Van Damme going after Chong Li in "Bloodsport" (penalty points because there's no way he would have won this fight in real life, especially after being blinded).
6.3 -- Shaq dropping 61 on the Clippers (because they made him pay for extra seats on his birthday).
6.4 -- Wyatt Earp at the end of "Tombstone"
7.1 -- Snoop and Dre taking shots at Easy E in "Wit' Dre Day" ... Biggie recording "Who Shot Ya?" ... 50 Cent creating the word "Wankster" in a song about Ja Rule.
7.3 -- MJ's reaction after Karl Malone won the '97 MVP Award ... Hakeem's reaction after David Robinson won the '95 MVP Award ... Sammy Sosa sending approximately 450 hitmen to Tony Montana's Miami compound to have him killed at the end of "Scarface."
8.1 -- John Rambo against sheriff Brian Dennehy and his deputies from "First Blood"
8.8 -- Charles Bronson in every "Death Wish" movie.
9.2 -- Michael Corleone settling all family business at the end of "Godfather 1" ... Vito Corleone returning to Sicily to avenge the murders of his mother, father and brother by ripping a knife through Don Ciccio.
9.8 -- Michael Corleone ordering the death of his brother, Fredo.

it's fairly entertaining.
We'll miss you Mr. Hooper.

Dude, that's a pretty ignornat thing to say. I mean, without girls we wouldn't have fine films like "Girls Gone Wild: Spring Break" or "Girls Gone Wild: Dormroom Fantasies 2". Not to mention "Snoop Dogg Presents: Girls Gone Wild".

So did I.

Also, I know way too many people who have never seen "The Godfather."
Only counting I & II, though. I heard III sucks so bad, I just gave the series a sad ending.
That's so NA.

Carl is right. I was foolish to ignore such gems.

I especially liked this one. I would add Pac's "Can't C Me," though.

Word. I can't front. It was probably on there, but I was too busy looking for Karate Kid related stuff.

I'm pretty sure that the Vietnam vet who ran Cobra Kai (John Kreese) is now selling high school graduation memorabilia. I know you were all dying to know that.
