'The Limey'

Oh yeah, Morbius quoted him upthread.

Also some discussion here: Talking Even More Smack In SF

My dad (born London 1928) used to say "up the apple and pears".

As a joke no doubt.

I mean, that's always the expression that is used as a sort of parodic example of rhyming slang. It probably hasn't been used in earnest since the Edwardian era.

I guess any Cockney rhyming slang he used would have been "in quotes" in Canada in the 1970s.

Well, yes.

Soderbergh was obv fond of this gag cause he reused it in oceans 11 when the terrible don cheadle “cockney” character would be like “cor blimey were in Barney now” (everyone stares) “...Barney Rubble” (everyone stares) “...trouble!!”

What do you expect from a septic?

Hard for us to know what is current usage, sorry

Peter Fonda is impressively demonic-looking in this, like his face is about to peel back and reveal a grinning skull at any moment. Kind of fits with how paper-thin almost everything in the movie is, as the screenwriter points out.

this movie is a vibe. it doesn't need to have a lot going on.

Otm. Good description of Peter Fonda’s death’s head look though.

This is on Amazon Prime until the end of December. Can’t watch it too many times.

Feel somewhat similar although haven’t actually watched it that many times. Maybe it will persist on Tubi TV.

I’ve watched it a ton, but not for a very long time. Looking forward to a revisit!

Outstanding film.
