Spinal Tap - Derek Smalls Airport Security

Description

[Singnlow]

I love how the airport announcements are done by the Spinal Tap actors in their own voices.

"Do you have any artificial plates or limbs?" " Not really no"

[CelticSaint]

I love his face when the guard gets the hand held metal detector. He knows the games up!

[fxrendon]

“We’ve got armadillos in our trousers” best quote of the entire movie lol

[divided_eye]

That quick glance she gives him right after the wand scan always gets me.

[daveygivens]

Love how she let him go after taking out the cucumber. I guess she thought he'd suffered enough.

"We've got armadillos in our trousers."

[stampedeofone]

I love that one lady reaches out and grabs it at the end.

[Revcharge]

i think the laughing wasn't scripted. it sounded all too "real".

[Doorknobs-scgz]

I swear the announcer voice at the beginning is Harry Shearer doing his Principal Skinner voice.

[pervertedmind]

Making a big thing of it would be a good idea.

[pontifixmax]

Imagine the crap he'd through at the airport in 2017.

[jasmoran]

If this isn't my favorite scene, it's top three. Thanks a bunch for this.

“Do you have any artificial plates or limbs?”

“Not really, no.”

This reminds me of the Swedish comedy movie "Sällskapsresan" from 1980 with Lasse Åberg - that movie is about a bunch of people who make a charter trip from Sweden to Spain, and they experience a lot of silly everyday situations, and one of them is that Lasse Åberg's character has left a metallic shoehorn in his shoe, and this sets of the metal detectors at Arlanda airport.

He’s wearing a Shrewsbury Town F.C. shirt! Come on you Blues!

How could she possibly have kept a straight face through even one take is beyond amazing. I would have been laughing my ass off every take, and they would probably have to have at least 88 takes, which is 8 × '11'!!! Just like what their amplifiers go to 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣 It is rumored that the aluminum cucumber was not even in the script, and Derek (Harry Shearer) didn't tell anybody about it, and it just happened. You notice how everybody was just laughing their asses off when he pulled it out of there? That's the good thing about comedies, you can always adlib to them by surprise, and if it's funny they'll leave it in the movie. This was only the funniest movie ever when it comes to cult rockumentaries.

“Oh, it’s the zippa”…gets me every time!
