My Cousin Vinny Deer Hunting




An excellent illustration of the classic Brooklyn accent from both Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei. Of course she misses the point just to make a statement: Vinnie wasn't asking what the DEER would think of his pants, he was asking what the District Attorney would think of them. (Personally, I would have preferred her "voir dire" by the DA - "base timing on '57 Chevy Bel Air with 327 cubic inch V8" but this is what I could find).

  1. That would be a difficult accent for me to try and copy...almost like a foreign language to me.

  2. Nah, I think he REALLY wanted to know what the deer would think of his pants -- I mean, city boy out in the forests, he has concerns about how to dress in front of the wildlife.

    Great movie, one of my favourites.
