Danny DeVito credited as playing...
Frank Reynolds
- Frank Reynolds: Look at that, James Earl Jones is doing a great black face!
- Dennis Reynolds: James Earl Jones has a black face. He's a black man!
- Frank Reynolds: He's not black, he was Darth Vader!
- Mac: Darth Vader was black.
- Frank Reynolds: No. Darth Vader was not black, they took the mask off, he was white! Look, look, we gotta agree on this: the whole idea is getting the right color shoe polish.
- Frank Reynolds: Okay, here it is. Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer, 1927.
- Dennis Reynolds: How is that not racist to you?
- Mac: This is a terrible example of blackface. The guy isn't trying to look like a real person.
- Frank Reynolds: Well, he almost had the mouth right. See, that's what I'm saying about the full lips.
- Mac: The lips are the most offensive part! The guy is bugging his eyes out like a cartoon character, okay? This is racist as shit!
- Dennis Reynolds: All blackface is racist no matter how it's portrayed, and that is the point I'm trying to make. You just cannot cast a white man as a black man and paint his face black. You cannot do it.
- Mac: They're actors. They're trying to create an illusion. In The Lord of the Rings movies, Ian McKellen plays a wizard. Do you think he goes home at night and shoots laser beams into his boyfriend's asshole? I don't think so, dude. Tom Cruise is a midget... shorter then the average man. But he plays guys that are normal in size and height in the movies.
- Dennis Reynolds: Once again, nobody is buying that either. Ian McKellen playing a wizard and Tom Cruise playing taller men is not a fair comparison to white people portraying blackface.
- Mac: Okay, look at this. This is Laurence Olivier in Othello... . playing the lead character in blackface. This is James Earl Jones. Now, look how close they resemble each other. Look!
