Thanks, although I really think I could write about 75-80 per cent of the dialogue from memory!

Could not agree more. There’s not a moment of that movie I couldn’t quote in detail. And that’s not bragging, it’s commiserating. Most people think it’s a terrible movie, yet I did a pilgrimage and went to Old San Juan to trace all the filming spots down.

I even did it in Chicago to try to find out where the window popped out of the 12th floor. Didn’t find that. Found the marina where Caroline got her tattoo and where Bill Zachary expelled them from the island though!!

THANK YOU, Reefer!!!

Not only was this one of the most fun threads in a long time (even more fun than Capt'n Black's stupidest/funniest mistakes), but your wrap-up, telling us how your trivia night went - with questions! - is just great.

Of course, now we'll all have to go back to our respective clubs/marinas and hold Captain Ron trivia nights of our own!
