Christopher Walken on SNL..Anti French skit a hoot

[dennisw]

The man is an AMAZING dancer!

He was tap dancing for 20 seconds. Michael Jackson got nothing on him.

[AmishDude]

True story: Walken was originally considered for the role of Han Solo.

[dennisw]

He also played Villipin in the opening skit

That's Dominique Villipin.   (sp?)

i think that tap dancing sounds were rigged...I think they started before he started moving and didn't seem to be in step with him

[Travis McGee]

I can't wait! Two hours and counting in Kali!

[Stultis]

Good choices.

Who would you put include in an intimate dinner party with Kevin Spacey? Two or three colleagues that could deliver him a damn thorough thrashing?

[Kevin Curry]

Didn't he do the "Trivial Psychic" skit back--oh--15 years ago?

[hole_n_one]

That was hysterical!

Did you ever see Walken as "The Continental" on SNL? Too funny for mere words. The man is a huge talent.

Hi Travis,

I was thinking the same thing when I read the title to this thread. 'The Continental' skit has to be among my all time favorite comic routines - it had me doubled up with laughter. Christopher Walken is great (and the funny thing is that I don't think he's ever played a comic role in any of his movies...).

[marajade]

I didn't know that...

I couldn't believe his dancing ability when I first saw him in that music video...

I absolutely love The Deer Hunter...

[Travis McGee]

That's another entire thread! "Hollywood conservatives you'd like to see beat the crap out of Hollywierd lefties."

Arnold and Willis, to name two.

Walken is funny. Annie Hall came to mind while trying to remember what he was in where he was hilarious and 180 d from Nick (Deer Hunter). It'll come to me.

[Travis McGee]

Is Walken a lefty? I have no idea.

[dennisw]

Tape it.

[Travis McGee]

Count on it.

[dennisw]

i think that tap dancing sounds were rigged......

You might be right. I didn't see the intro.

I actually prefered him in the Dogs of War, anybody that keeps a pistol in the fridge can't be all bad.

Addendum to Post 49:

I guess after reading all the other posts on this thread I see the 'Continental' character must be a re-occurring skit on SNL. I just remember the first, and only time, I saw it a couple of years ago where Christopher Walken plays the swarmy playboy wannabee. He was great (and sounds like he puts in another great performance tonight. I'll have to see it).

Has anyone ever seen the movie BLAST FROM THE PAST. He's absolutely Hysterical in this movie. It's actually a great movie with a very moral and conservative message. Sissy Spacek was great too!
