Anybody remember “Bringing Up Baby”, still one of the funniest (IMHO) movies ever made, even though it’s from 1938?
This scene reminds me of it.
It has Cary Grant as a paleontologist, who’s been working for years on assembling a brontosaurus skeleton,
and Katherine Hepburn, as a totally wacko young heiress.
Her aunt’s little dog steals and buries a very important dinosaur bone…. and is chased, (along with both a tame and a wild leopard….) through the countryside.
I give it about seven out of four stars….
and can’t help wondering whether it inspired Paul Gilligan.
In “Bernie” they had a whole body. Even in a movie I don’t think they could have pulled it off with just a thigh-bone (too much suspension of belief required).

That would have kept them gnawing for a while. Poncho and Boomer, don’t you know those old bones are fossilized?

I like the “innocent” grins as they try to make their escape. Not suspicious at all.

Only works in the movies Poncho … That’s why it’s called Movie Magic ;-)
