It killed me when the torpedo just went on land chasing fate and max🤣😂🤣😂

This has to be one of the best movie scenes in the history of the world. No joke.

I saw this movie twice and I'm still surprised to hear the Tasmanian Devil whirling sound coming from that torpedo.

Not to mention Elmer's gunshots

An acoustic torpedo with a grammophone "ear"!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! [wipes tears] Absolutely brilliant and hilarious!!!

This movie was one of my dad's favorites. When we saw it in October, 1965, he had some idea what it was about, but no detailed info on the plot or scenes. I still remember hearing him laugh as hard as anyone in the theater. And the little Edward's touches, the hero with the twinkling eyes and teeth, didn't go unnoticed. A shame the movie didn't do better than it did at the box office or with critics.

comedic timing in this movie is everything

One of those Films...Where everyone on the Set had Fun... 1973 ..The Sting..as well..

To hear that torpedo, I would be looking for the Tasmanian Devil!

Anyone who has played Mario on Nintendo would recognize the Torpedo being Bulletman's grandfather.

My dad loved Jack Lemmon he was honestly just amazing and this was one of his favorites. I remember watching this when I was 5 and crying. So epicly brilliant

This is like a live action version of Looney Tunes

Love the Tasmanian Devil sound effect accompanying the torpedo! I was kind of half expecting the torpedo to start doing Taz's usual babbling and sputtering!

Fun fact: That sound effect originally came from the sound an inertia starter made on an old plane engine 👍🏻👍🏻

Peter Falk and Jack Lemmon has to be one of the greatest comedy pairings in cinema

One of the best comic movies ever...Professor Fate's iconic laughter😂...sen it countless times n still love it as much as when u saw it first as a kid in 80s

Tony Curtis was the perfect adversary to Fate! The quintessential All American pretty boy!

They don't make movies like this anymore. It's a shame, because these were great.

Professor Fate could sell this torpedo to navy. He would be rich.

He must have sold it to the Germans! They used it against Das Limpet ("The Incredible Mr. Limpet" with Don Knotts) ! Thrummm!! 😂😂😂😂

The FATE torpedo thingy (along with the Hannibal 8) is on permanent display at the Petersen Automotive Museum, on Wilshire Blvd, downtown L.A. Very cool to see in person!

Treg Brown was the man who did all the sound effects work at Termite Terrace and was the man who hired Mel Blanc. He won an Academy award for his work in this film. He really added to the production and truly deserve his Oscar he received.

I like the brawl at borrocho better! "Ooo, lillies his girl"

I love how Fate takes the time to decorate his weapons and other inventions with his name and also a face.

This entire scene is like something from a Spy versus Spy cartoon. A lot of imagination coupled with the odd-ball gadgets that were passed off as "inventions" around the late 1800s/early 1900s. I'd say that Blake Edwards watched silent film footage of weird flying machines and other goofy inventions circa the early 1900s.

He was definitely into steam punk for sure! Probably HG Wells or something along those lines😅😅😅

I remember the first run as a kid in our local theater. Blake Edwards had a knack for these

Professor Fate is clearly the founder of Acme Corporation.... While Fate acts "Wile E".... The Great Leslie is his hated Road Runner... his inventions hilariously backfire on him!

OMG professor fate created the first misile drone with IA in the history

2:39 A huge fireball and a ta-da! That's how I want to be remembered. BTW, what exactly is the the Great Leslie's stunt? He's drove a speed boat around a calm lake for a few minutes. Ta-da!

So funny...I'll have to watch the whole thing again... notice at 2:21 the line in the water in front of the torpedo, pulling the damn thing forward lol...

The sound of the torpedo was taken from a inertia starter like on old aircraft engines LOL

One of the funniest movies of all time

Maybe the most funny scene of the movie, and the most brilliant attempt to sabotage Leslie. Fun fact: they don't release the torpedo from its wagon. That's the only reason why the torpedo can also drive on land and destroy their car. Watching the torpedo following them through the woods and then, when it's out of sight, the detonation, is priceless.

best part of the moive

1:19 There are saboteurs with the noise-seeking torpedo. There you can see the black stones lined up.

This scene was clearly inspired by the classic looney tunes shorts.

I swear these bits remind me of the spy versus spy stories out of mad magazine especially the one wearing all white the villain wearing all black and half the time the weapons not working on the other one

Sure, the special effects are cheesy and cornball, but at the same time this scene is funny as hell.
