>>>>My favorite character, by far, was Rev. Jim. The one where Alex is trying to feed him answers at Jim's written driver's test was a classic, as was the one where Jim is reminiscing about the 1960s. "I was in the sixties. I did the drugs, I did the communes, I did the peace marches. Did I say drugs? I did the drugs."

>>>I agree. But I think I've loved every character that Chris Lloyd has done, esp. Doc in the Back to the Futures

>>There was a Memphis connection to Kaufman and his wrestling. The wrestler he got into a tussle with was Jerry "The King" Lawler, from Memphis. Lawler recently admitted that his slapping Kaufman was a setup for publicity. I knew that when it happened because that's the way wrestling works. It's a "sport" for the uneducated, thereby making Memphis a hotbed of wrestling fans.

>Was that in a chat show? Cos there was such a scene with a wrestler in the film, only I swear the wrestler punched him off the chair.

They were both guests on the Johnny Carson show, as I recall. It was a total setup, even though Kaufman appeared to get hit hard. They had obviously been working on the choreography.
