I was the camera operator on Congo and filming this scene was one of the highlights of the production. It was shot in the Castle Green building in Pasadena, CA. Delroy Lindo, the actor cast as the corrupt military man is a magnificent actor, and Tim Curry's comedic work here had me in stitches the day we filmed (and still does). This was one of Laura Linney's first movies. She was joy to work with. Same with Ernie, a real gentleman. This scene is a great example of what was the best part of my job as an operator: Seeing a performance like this one unfold in real time. What a gift.
Wow.. cool story... this scene is probably one of my favourite scenes from any movie in my life... For some reason I’m just waiting for Tim Curry to pop off and be like HAVE A LOVELY DAY!
Every time I see Delroy Lindo, the first thing that runs through my mind is "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!" It's the greatest line he's every uttered in a movie, in my opinion.
I saw the One in Theater with Jet Li. People saw him as the multiuniversal cop and started saying it aloud. I was cracking up but also uncomfortable because people who did not get it were getting super annoyed.
I like the matter-of-fact way he says "more" after they put the first stack down. This is a man used to taking bribes, and knowing exactly how much he can squeeze people for.
The complete scene that ends with Delroy Lindo stapling the money in a paper bag before allowing them to leave is one of the funniest movie scenes ever filmed. Ernie Hudson is fantastic in this movie, Munro is a great character, Ernie Hudson plays the character perfectly.
Tim loved this character as it was a change from the roles he had played before and one was of course Pennywise, which Tim really got a kick out of playing.
Delroy lindo is the perfect Warlord they couldn't have picked better than him cast and got that perfect he fits the part to a t it's also my favorite part of the movie I hate to say
This was the reason I looked up sesame cake recipes, just so me and a friend can reenact that special part of this scene. "Stop eating my sesame cake!"
lmao such an awesome movie, i am eating a sweet sesame cake right now and thought 'what the hell! Might as well look this scene up" Saw it when I was a kid. Think I might rewatch it now.
This captain is so unhinged and ready to snap, but I LOVE the reaction he gets from everyone in this scene! Everything seems so civil and modern at first and then we have extortion, bribery, government corruption, conspiracy, sesame kay-k...and one loony-toon military guy orchestrating it all. Classic.
Well, you have to look at it from his angle. Here he is, an underpaid civil servant trying to make it through a civil war and four changes of government with his head intact, and along come these shady foreigners, one of them former CIA and the other a con artist. He’s smart enough to know these people, with their backgrounds, are not here on a camping trip. If past is prologue, he figures they’re here to exploit the natural resources of the Congo like every pack of foreign freebooters before them (which, lets face it, is exactly what’s happening here). He thinks to himself “find, they’re gonna rob us? I’ll rob them first for the privilege.” And trust me, that bag of money is chicken feed compared to the wealth these people are after.
This phrase brought me here, My 2nd son heard it from one cartoon show and he is always saying it. It sounds kinda familiar, i had to come back here to verify what my ears were hearing.
Or when your apartment neighbor is spying on you, play this scene only slightly muffled as if it is far from the mic and in another room. Make it sound very tempting to turn up the volume and then blast very clearly, "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!"
I thought he was being really mean to the guy when I was a kid. Now that I'm old and cynical, I love nothing more than to see a mooch get kicked out of the room.
One of the best scenes in an all around great movie. Bernie Hudson was way underutilized as an actor. What talent! "Air conditioners??... Shit I'll take one!" Lol
This is one of my most favorite lines out of any movie ever and I'm deeply saddened there's no one in life I can say it around that would actually understand what the hell I'm talking about lol
Imagine getting the rights from the author of Jurassic Park, getting to work with the producers of Indiana Jones, and seeing tie in merchandise ranging from toys to computer games...and all anybody remembers from this movie is this scene
Right? Lol, I remember all the hype and promotional stuff for this movie. Taco bell had a tie in with it as well and my mom had a plush toy of Amy that was sold at blockbuster video. (She still has it) Then the movie flopped, critics were harsh and this scene is what everyone remembers, lol. I think the studio was expecting it to be a huge summer blockbuster
@Winter Lynn "From the author of Jurassic Park" LOL. Like that was the reason people went to see the movie. The movie had dinosaurs and state of the art effects. It was going to make money regardless who wrote it. Weird mutant gorillas just don't have the commercial appeal of dinosaurs.
I haven't watched this movie since it first came out but I recall going to the local theater to watch it with my dad and brother. I was only a teenager at the time so now that I'm older I'm going to rewatch it as I barely remember anything about it except for the badass gorillas.
To those wondering why he told Homolka to have some sesame cake, then to stop eating it, he didn’t. Notice that he never looks to Homolka when he says anything. He also didn’t offer his hand to shake Homolka’s in the seconds prior to this clip. As far as he’s concerned, Homolka doesn’t exist until he annoys him.
You cut it off too soon! The best part of the scene is when he bags the money in brown paper lunch bag and then staples it shut to keep people from "peeking."
Pretty much. They are very friendly in order to get what they need out of you. They gather what they can from your papers and information, then they go on to be social to look for signs of you lying about your credentials. If you are truthful, nothing really happens. Lying, get out or pay a large bribe.

Every time I see Delroy Lindo, the first thing that runs through my mind is "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!" It's the greatest line he's every uttered in a movie, in my opinion.
Especially after he made them “HAVE SOME” lol
For me it's this one and "I'm taking you out, Ya-hoo.'" *BLAM*!
"Hasta la vista baby."
With a thick Austrian accent.
Tied with "I like that Ms. Ross, you surprise him" lol
I saw the One in Theater with Jet Li. People saw him as the multiuniversal cop and started saying it aloud. I was cracking up but also uncomfortable because people who did not get it were getting super annoyed.
The way Tim Curry reacts and spits out the cake is brilliant. What a legend. Delroy Lindo played the role flawlessly as well
Curry's reaction was that of a 5 year old child😂
@@Professor__S”what are you doing in my country,you bag of 💩”? 😂😂
Delroy is the one who make scene. I could have spat up that cake😂
Delroy Lindo is one of the greatest character actors of his generation.
Totally.
One of the most underrated. Congo isn't even a great film and look at how many memorable quotes there are in his short appearance.
Facts.
One of the best actors period I love Mr Delroy...
Agreed
How can one scene steal an entire movie...? Everything is perfection.
put this scene on the endangered species list.
I like the matter-of-fact way he says "more" after they put the first stack down. This is a man used to taking bribes, and knowing exactly how much he can squeeze people for.
This scene is iconic. Saw this movie over a decade ago and I still quote parts of it from "Have some!" to "Stop e a t i n g my sesame cake!"
What's your favorite favorite? Mine is the guy from Mombasa

I saw this movie when I was around 8 or 7 and this was the only thing I remembered for the whole movie.
SAME LOL
Same !!!!
Big facts😂😂😂😂
I remember him saying crumb cake for some reason.
Me too
I love how he responds to the bribe by shamelessly saying, “more.”
he could just take it all. They have no real leverage.
I would do the same, worst the could say is no.

rfb3011
Don't want nobody peeking.
rfb3011 he really is
Not really. Ernie was a bit miscast. His character was supposed to be British believe it or not.
Originally written for Sean Connery. Ernie Hudson is on record saying this was his favorite role.
When I was a kid, I used to think that the cake was a rice crispies treat.
Sorgen Solvent lol
Me too! Haha
Stop eatting my rice krispies treats!
Same here! Haha
It was the 480p...
Love when he says “ HAVE SOME”
Delroy Lindo can pull off any role. He is great in everything he does.
Delroy Lindo is such a versatile actor. Been following this man's career since Blood In, Blood Out.
He was in the core as dr braz he was the best part of the movie him arguing with dr zimsky
I remember that scene he was the cat with the microphone afro
“Liar Liar pants on Fire” 🔥 Every time I say that phrase now I do it with his accent. So hilarious.
If someone ever tells me I have a big mouth, I'm going to respond with, "Everybody says that about me."
Me too!!
Twenty years later this Still cracks me up
STOP EATING MY SESAME KEK!
Imagine if he just didn't stop eating it.... th-cam.com/video/4GVUhQdgkwM/w-d-xo.html
Be better if he spit it up back into the rest
That was for DESSERT!!! This tea party is ruined!
Praise Kek!
🤣
Tim Curry's reaction after that dude grabs him is a masterclass in acting. Take note!
Tim loved this character as it was a change from the roles he had played before and one was of course Pennywise, which Tim really got a kick out of playing.
*Some criminally underrated characters in this room!!!*

“Liar Liar your pants on fire” 😂😂
0:07- That's Delroy Lindo. Man, he's so underrated.
in my humble opinion...this scene, of all scenes in cinematic history will go down as one of the most satisfying and brilliantly executed.
STUHP EETIN MAH SEESAMEE KAEK!
Yes!
Noh step on snek!
🤣🤣🤦
My sister and I have been making fun of that line for years lol!!!
Lol
This was the reason I looked up sesame cake recipes, just so me and a friend can reenact that special part of this scene.

My group also has an avid appreciation for this scene. Cinematic gold.

@Alejandro Garcia you hit the nail right on the head. It's almost as if you wrote this scene .
The best line was cut out. "Don wan nobody peeking."
LMAO
*stapling bag shut*
Delroy Lindo doesn't get nowhere near enough credit. He's one of the greats.
Absolutely loved this film....Nothing like a good jungle adventure movie.....
He didn't hesitate with that negotiation, "More!" 😂
All 4 actors in this scene are just pitch perfect! They nail every single line!
"HAVE SOME CAKE"

0:01 - Have some coffee and cake..

sounds like something Pierre Escargot would say
The captain is like the African version of Tony Montana
One of the best parts in this movie. Congo is one of my favorite childhood movies.
It’s a bummer we don’t get solid stories and just plain good movies like this anymore.
Awh, I like the part where he gives a sincere speech about "the crazy world we live in," then delightfully says, "Okay, you can go!"
"Liar, liar, your pants on fire" My god, the complete authority is overwhelming.
This phrase brought me here, My 2nd son heard it from one cartoon show and he is always saying it. It sounds kinda familiar, i had to come back here to verify what my ears were hearing.
0:06 “Have Some!” I made it myself!!!
1:32 “Stop eating my sesame CAKE!!!” Those are for Dessert! This whole tea party is ruined!!!
ahaah right right
Lol. Nostalgia Critic.
Love this! This especially the way he warned them about the guy who was a problem.
I love Tim Curry's face when the guy grabs him
4 legends in one scene
I've always wondered if the cake was poisoned. Once he received the bribe he thought it best to not poison them and told Hamolka to stop eating it.
Arguably the best seen in the whole movie 😂😂😂
And the best scene
Definitely the best scene I've ever seen 😆.
Nice. I like how we get some insight on Karen and her background.
Monroe really lucked out going along with her
Always thought it was hilarious how he put the money in the bag and stapled it shut so nobody peeked at it. lol
LMFAO best part of the movie! "HAVE SOME!!!"
I MADE IT MYSELF!

Someone should make a sound board with this character and do prank calls. If nobody does, I will.
I hope you made it.
Or when your apartment neighbor is spying on you, play this scene only slightly muffled as if it is far from the mic and in another room. Make it sound very tempting to turn up the volume and then blast very clearly, "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!"

This is my favorite part it was intense. I watched this movie when I was 10. My favorite movie from the 90s!!!
I thought he was being really mean to the guy when I was a kid. Now that I'm old and cynical, I love nothing more than to see a mooch get kicked out of the room.
