Greatest movie scenes ever # 41

So, the BFI really brought their A-Game with the 3 disc collector's edition Blu-ray of Jerzy Skolimowski's Deep End; so much so, that my copy has a strange aroma of some type of luxurious Belgian chocolates which probably cost €100.000 per strawberry cream and I can't stop taking a whiff of its case, discs and booklet as if I were John Moulder-Brown sniffing Jane Asher's yellow trenchcoat in the movie :



I guess I was too busy gawping around at who was in the fairly packed theatre with us when I first caught Deep End at the cinema a few months back, because I didn't notice Can, whose 14 minute Krautrock freakout Mother Sky was recorded especially for the film and used sparingly as incidental music throughout the nighttime in Soho scene, getting M.C UGK-ed during the opening credits on that occasion :



One thing I did pick up on in the first viewing, however, was that the oriental Hotdog seller is the young Burt Kwouk, who was already a veteran of cooning it up as the bloken Engrish-speaking chigga in two James Bond movies, the very first Bond spoof and TV shows such as Hancock's Half Hour, Patrick McGoohan's proto-The Prisoner serial Danger Man, The Avengers and The Saint :



KanYe's Drunk And Hot Girls was a pretty good song before the carcinogenic nuclear pollution of Mos Def's dibba-dabba-dinosaur singing (Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) >>>>>> Umi Says) rendered it as musical Chernobyl, but that being the only real notable instance of The Can being sampled by das rap musik is a situation which really needs rectifying. I can't do nuttin' for ya, man, in that department other than offer up some crap Can/rap puns in the Fat Lace stylee :

Damu Suzuki
Tago Magoo
Malcolm Mooney Ain't A Thang
Soon Over DJ Babuluma
Ege Bambaataa.
