I seem to remember a movie where the credits went something like
Best Boy John Doe (or someone with an equally
exciting name)
Worst Boy Adolph Hitler
I thought it was Airplane and was wondering why nobody mentioned it, so I went
to my tape and re-read the credits for Airplane and found that (will wonders
never cease) I was wrong (first time this year too).
Anyway, does anyone have any idea what movie this credit was in, or is it just
a figment of my overactive imagination.

The movie that had the credits for.. Best Boy John Doe Worst Boy Adolf Hitler Was I believe Mel Brook's History Of The World Part I From a newcomer (on the output side) Tom Maupin (205)988-6648

Mary,
Your first guess that "BEST BOY/WORST BOY" came from the movie
AIRPLANE was close. It came from AIRPLANE II and it was as
follows:
GAFFER (WHAT'S A GAFFER) LARRY GILHOOLY
BEST BOY (ELECTRIC) FRANK McKANE
WORST BOY ADOLF HITLER
All three were bunched together in this order and those are the
actual names that appeared (after all, give credit where credit's
do). I double checked my facts with my Laser Disk copy of the
movie so there need be no more guessing which movie this comes
from.
