 hello all ... Its a movie about 3 men in there 30s and 40s I think ... going to the beach asking a young guy to show them how to pick up chicks ... now I know its a 80's summer movie but thats all I know ... please help thanks  :smile:

The young guy called it "dialoging" the girls.  There was also a sheik in it and the young guy had a friend who could flip someone off in a crazy number of ways.  If all this fits, the movie is "Hardbodies."  I have a lot of teenage memories about this film.

Rag could flip someone off in 50 different languages, if memory serves me correctly.

Thanks thats it ... Hardbodies 1984 thank you Andrew and Menard. Rag lol thats the crazy looking redhead guy ...

I have been looking aroung for a picture of Rag going into his flipping routine; no luck yet.

There does seem to be some disagreement in what I have been reading as to the number of languages in which Rag flips someone off. I had thought it was 50, but two different reviews mentioned 45 and 48 respectively. I can't recall if Rag actually increases the number as the film goes along; although it is Scott who tells others what Rag is doing due to the amazing look of confusion in their faces when Rag goes into his routine.

Darnit; now I've got to see this movie again.

Anybody see the poor excuse of a sequel?

I remember the one girl telling a guy (I think it was the sheik) that Rag was flipping him off in XX different ways.  I cannot remember what the exact number was, but I believe it occurred during the party at the end of the movie.

Seen the sequel, it is a painful mess.  Still, as a teenage male I watched it a number of times...I knew it was a bad film, but there were breasts.  Now that you mention it, I wouldn't mind watching the first "Hardbodies" again.  Doesn't look like it is out on DVD.  That is odd.

I seem to recall Rag going into his routine at least two or three times during the movie. I wonder if that was scripted or if it was something Courtney Gains brought to the role, as he seriously gets into it when he does it.

The first thing that hurt the sequel was the absense of the two original stars; the second was having anybody else play Rag, especially a boring, normal looking guy.

This was the movie that convinced me to take up playing the guitar. :teddyr:
