Goofs

DATE: In the movie members of the French Resistance, play "Non, je ne regrette rien" sung by Édith Piaf. However World War II was over twelve years before the song was even written. DATE: The German falcons wear "Pickelhauben" (pointed helmets) which were worn during WWI not WWII. Also, carrier pigeons weren't used in WWII as radios were more useful. |
Quotes

Von Talon: I'm a vegetarian. Mercury: And yet you wear a leather cape. Felix: [talking to Valiant about being in the RHPS] If it weren't for my wooden drumstick and this shrappnel in my poopdeck, I'd be out there right now! Valiant: It's not the size of your wingspan that counts, no, it's the size of your spirit. Felix: It's not the size of your wingspan that counts. It's the size of your spirit! Lofty: Could you burp on cue? Bugsy: Yeah, I can burp on all the letters, not just Q. Valiant: [shouting] Quiet! Charles De Girl: [to Valiant, Bugsy, Lofty, Toughwood, and Tailfeather] I won't lie to you - you will definitely be eaten by falcons. Bugsy: I've got a doctor's note! Von Talon: There will be awards, parades, and commemorative stamps! Bugsy: How did you find us? Charles De Girl: Well, the was the plane and the explosion. And the screaming, and the pleading. More screaming. The begging, the crying, the whining, whinging, yelling, boohooing... Valiant: Yes, um, enough about that. Bugsy: Definitely, yes. Toughwood: France is scary! Bugsy: Hello, mate! Bugsy: I may not be very conscientious, but I do object. Rollo: [Repeated line] Sabotage! Tailfeather: Are you ready to drop? Toughwood: I think I may have dropped already! [first lines] Lofty: [seeing Valiant & Bugsy] For a, quote, 'elite unit', unquote, they seem to be letting in anything with wings [to Bugsy] , including those flies circling your bottom. Victoria: I don't care if you're a hero or not, just concentrate on the getting back. Bugsy: I've been SHANGHAIIIIED! Cufflingk: [preparing to torture Mercury] You want us to pluck out his feathers? Underlingk: And... heh... CLIP his wings? Cufflingk: HURT... his feelings? [both chuckle] Von Talon: No, no, no, no! Worse. MUCH worse. [raises cage] We have ways of making you squawk. [yodeling music begins] Mercury: Argh! What kind of birds are you? Lofty: Any moment now, Gutsy will fly out and tell us the plan! Lofty: [the plane Gutsy was in explodes] Right then. Who has the backup plan? Bugsy: Oh you want the backup plan? Um... WE DIE! Yeah, *that's* the backup plan! Sergeant: Gentlemen you are the fliers of the FUTURE! [Tailfeather and Toughwood crash into each other] Sergeant: [Holds face] The FAR future! |
