There was comedy in EXORCIST 2? I think I saw it opening night, and they had to empty the theatre and air it because the stench was so bad. I don't recall a single laugh.
The comedy was not there by design.
Richard Burton and Linda Blair on the bus going to the house in Georgetown. The driver is taking a break and eating. Burton blurts out "get going! The little girl has to get home!"
Or Louise Fletcher screaming for help as the house collaspes, but no one arrives until the house is completly flatten and Burton and Blair walk off into the night hand in hand. And then out of nowhere people, ambulances, police appear.
Burton in Africia goes up to a policeman and as him if he knows the James Earl Jones character. Kokamo? He saids it several times and each time the audience laughed more. Then he finally said no.
Burton says something about being to a certain place but wasn't really there he flew there on a grasshopper in trance,
There are other examples.
