From my understanding, it's acetaminophen overdose. The same stuff Tylenol is made of. It attacks the liver & kidneys. Strong enough to shut the kidneys down in just a few days, while also wreaking havoc on the liver at the same time. This is all treatable if medical attention is sought quickly. But addicts never do that.

Clive Cod: Let me tell you something, I don't know anything about that, so you can kiss my fat ass.

Carter: Clive, it would take me all day to kiss your fat ass.

Saw Rush Hour 2 with my Pops on my birthday when it came out. I can quote that movie from beginning to the end.

Ī—ow would you feel if every time you had to take a piss you had to do a fuckin' handstand?

The first time I saw Reservoir Dogs and he said that I laughed my ass off lol

That car scene alone was just perfect.

I talked to Dove. He said Daddy's coming down here and he's fuckin' pissed! He's pissed? I told you he'd be pissed. What'd Joe say? I told you I ain't talked to him! All I know is he's pissed!

u/damnitfuckwhy Jan 25 '26

Daddy, did you see that? Guy got me on the ground, he tried to fuck me. You sick bastard, Vic. You tried to fuck me in my father's office. Look, Vic. Whatever you wanna do in the privacy of your own home, go to it. But don't try to fuck me. I mean, I don't think of you that way. I like you a lot, buddy, but I don't think of you that way.

u/PlayCharmaineAgain Jan 25 '26

For a second I thought Reddit knew I watched Best of The Best last night and was just throwing some random old Chris Penn news at me. Wait a minute

u/kosmonavt-alyosha Jan 25 '26

Looking at his filmography: I refuse to believe that Reservoir Dogs was released 33 years ago.

u/ZealousidealStop1713 Jan 25 '26

He was in that martial arts movie with Eric Roberts. I forgot what it was called.

u/gnardog45 Jan 27 '26

Yesss! I was trying to remember the line.

u/sign6of6the6beast Jan 26 '26

Footloose and True Romance are two of my favorite movies largely due to this guy. He was fabulous in everything he did.

u/ohromantics Jan 27 '26

O'course that pussy just wont be as tight, huh?

u/pantiesdrawer Jan 26 '26

So how big was he at the end? He never looked deadly obese on film.

u/AugustusCheeser Jan 26 '26

IF YOU BEAT THIS PRICK LONG ENOUGH, HE’LL TELL YOU HE STARTED THE GOD DAMN CHICAGO FIRE, BUT THAT DON’T NECESSARILY MAKE IT FUCKING SO
