CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When the booby trap doesn't work on Momma (Anne Ramsey), Larry (Billy Crystal) tries it himself, and gets tossed down the stairs.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The "exchange murders" plot gambit, played with utter solemnity in Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, is used as the launching pad for raucous laughter in Throw Momma From the Train. Director/star Danny DeVito plays Owen Lift, a middle-aged bachelor, totally dominated by his gorgon mother, played with hilarious ferocity by Anne Ramsey. Billy Crystal co-stars as Larry Donner, a creative-writing professor, saddled with a vituperative, thoroughly despicable ex-wife, Margaret (Kate Mulgrew). Signing up for Larry's writing course, Owen has trouble at first with character development and construction in his stories. Larry recommends that Owen watch a screening of Strangers on a Train, which he considered a model of tight, concise storytelling. Owen is so entranced by the film that he decides to emulate Strangers star Robert Walker. That is, Owen wants Larry to bump off his mother, in exchange for Owen's murder of Margaret. Without being asked, Owen does away with Margaret (or so it seems), then hounds Larry to the point of killing "Momma." This being a comedy, the actual consequences of the swap-murder plot aren't nearly as calamitous as in the Hitchcock film. Cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld would apply the "black humor" lessons learned in Throw Momma From the Train for his own directorial debut, The Addams Family (1991).

My sister and I used to quote this scene all of the time when we were kids. Anne Ramsey is hilarious. R.I.P.

"No he's not. He's fat and he's stupid." That line always makes me laugh.

Even though she didn't go as far as other actresses, in my opinion, Anne Ramsey was one of the most talented actresses ever. It is absolutely amazing the way she could take on the personality traits of her characters, and do it so flawlessly, and seemingly, effortlessly. She was one of a kind. Absolutely brilliant, funny, and beautiful soul. We truly lost a legend when she passed.

I love Mrs. Lift. Even though she is like this in most scenes, in a couple of rare scenes you see that she loves Owen.

the part where the door gives way and takes Larry for a ride down the basement steps, crashing him into the water heater, then momma comes to the doorway, screaming pain in the ass. lmao
