[That's what I get for missing staff meetings!] I just finished reading the novel of STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK and an incredibly minor detail is driving me crazy (maybe its just a short walk). When the ENTERPRISE is making its break from Starbase, Uhura stays behind to jam all the communication channels. This is what prevents other starships from intercepting Kirk and crew. One of the things she does is to mix in TV shows, old movies, and other entertainment into Starfleet communications. One of the lines we hear is from an "old movie": "Who ARE those guys?!?" Is this just some trivial line or does it have some significance? I seem to remember it from somewhere but I can't place it. Anyone got any ideas?

As I recall, the line "Who ARE those guys?" appears in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Of course, for all I know, they got it from somewhere else. Paul Hilfinger Hilfinger@Berkeley ucbvax!hilfingr

"When the ENTERPRISE is making its break from Starbase, Uhura

One of the things she does is to mix in TV shows, old movies,

the lines we hear is from an "old movie":
"Who ARE those guys?!?"
"Is this just some trivial line or does it have some
significance? I seem to remember it from somewhere but I can't
place it. Anyone got any ideas?"
The line is from the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." It is
spoken several times while the title characters are trying to elude a
posse that they just can't seem to shake.

"Who are those guys?" is a quote from the movie Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. "Those guys" refers to a posse
which Butch and Sundance were having difficulty eluding.

I think the reference is to the comments between Butch and Sundance during their run from the posse. John Testa UCSD Chem sdccs6!ix241

"Who ARE those guys?!?" Why, none other than the posse tracking Paul Newman and Robert Redford in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". - Ralph Droms

Darn it! Now its driving me crazy!!!!
It's from a recent movie....Ghostbusters comes to mind, but I don't
think that's it.

Hm. I don't remember that from the movie, and haven't read the book yet,
but...
I believe that quote probably comes from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
Butch and Sundance are trying to escape the wrath of <whatsisname>, the
president of the railroad they keep robbing. They try for days to shake
the posse that's following them, and at one point Butch utters the line
you mentioned. This is shortly before they take the jump into the river.
