Movie Quote Quiz

Brian Kelly: I don't know what's worse: getting blown up in nuclear war or having a 7-11 on every corner.

Brian Kelly: If my dog had a face like yours I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.

Tina Trac: How did you get to be so cynical?
Brian Kelly: Practice.

Bobby Nguyen: Don't give me a jerk-off handjob.

Factual error: There is no way that Brian could have crossed underneath a tractor trailer the way that he did on the freeway scene. The speed of the truck, moving fast at least at 60 or 65 miles an hour on a California highway, would have struck and run him over immediately had he tried to duck underneath its cargo like that on a skateboard.

Question: In the later scene where the two Asian gang members are being interrogated to discover who hired them, they jokingly say something to each other in their own language, the translator cop makes some smug comment back, and then reveals to Steven Bauer that their employer was Lauderdale. Is anyone able to translate what was said during this little exchange?

Gavin Jackson

Answer: More than likely, it was probably something made up and meaningless. But of course, we would never know because it's Vietnamese. The best you can do is have a Vietnamese person view that part of the film and get them to translate it if it was actually a real sentence being spoken, which I doubt.
