Quotes 

• Gene Siskel - Host : [reviewing "City Slickers 2"]  I think that Jack Palance is the only one who, y'know, he has that great craggy face against that sky, and his voice is great, but that's all there is to the picture. And I have the story that they were looking for, and I just thought of it while you were talking.

  Roger Ebert - Host : Oh, good for you.

  Gene Siskel - Host : And here's what they should've done: Obviously, if they're gonna have Curly's brother come back, the most interesting character, have Curly come into THEIR world. Rath- why go back out to the old west, and do the same movie over again? Why not have Curly come into their New York City would, it could've been absolutely hilarious.

  Roger Ebert - Host : Kinda, I think it's been done, though. "Crocodile Dundee"

  Gene Siskel - Host : All right, but, but we would, but it would've been a flip, it wouldn't have been the same movie. All they did was make the same movie over again!

  Roger Ebert - Host : Well, I'm not sure that you actually have the answer, Gene.

  Gene Siskel - Host : Oh, that's because I came up and you don't, you DIDN'T come up with it.

  Roger Ebert - Host : Well, and I'm glad I didn't.
