Van Diesel has nothing on them. Faster and bigger crashes just don't cut it.

There is a scene in which some cars are driving up a hill on a winding dirt road. As the cars come round a very sharp curve they apparently used a fish-eye lens on the camera because the cars stretch out as they go round, it was just sort of an absurd scene and it sticks in my mind to this day. That movie, by the way, has just about every big name comedian in it that was alive at the time it was made. It is certainly dated but its still simply funny as it can be; imagine Jonathan Winters before Robin Williams came along.

My clip would be the football game. But honestly, the whole film was genius. The series too, but...

I was pretty flabbergasted when I first saw it, I couldn't believe the craziness, but enjoyed it very much. I wonder if that house in the movie still exists.

I'm sure most of the gags were in the dialogue that were going over my head. But, this, I would have understood.
