What movie is "Strong, like bull!" from? Perhaps the quote is, "Make you STRONG, Like Bull!" I believe this is said with a Russian Accent. Answer is NOT to include "There is something about Mary!" when Ben Stiller says it. |

There is no answer at this time. |

I believe this quote comes from the old TV cartoon series "Rocky and His Friends" (later known as "The Bullwinkle Show.") As I recall, the character Boris Badenov, who spoke with a thick, exaggerated Russian accent, once described himself as "strong, like bull, but sensitive, like squirrel." I can find no documentation of this on the Web, so I am posting this as a comment rather than an answer. |

I appreciate the effort. You are probably correct in where it originated from. I am pretty sure I've heard it referenced in some movies. Everyone seems to know the quote "Strong, like bull" or something of that nature with possibly a Russian accent, but to no avail I am unable to find what movie this is from. Since I haven't seen the Rocky and Bullwinkle Movie I'm sure its not from that. As a first time user of this Google feature, do you think if I raise the amount for the answer, I may have better luck? Thank you for your efforts. :) |

pinkfreud, I believe you are right. Here is the transcript for a rather irrelevant survey from a rather irrelecant site: "How do you feel about Mooses?" One person said "they are strong like Bull (to be said like Boris)" http://books.dreambook.com/justinzb/shimmernshine.html Boris and Natasha were the "baddies" in Rocky and Bullwinkle, as shown in this episode guide: "Bullwinkle and Rocky have nothing to enter in the flower show until kindly Boris offers them a bean "descended from Jack's original beanstalk." Soon the vigorous vine is gobbling everything in sight. " http://www.stevens-tech.edu/~dbelson/bullwinkle.html So there you have it. But this show may have been referenced in a movie you once saw, and you may have thought it was originally from that movie (rather than Rocky and Bullwinkle. Here is a page that lists movies that have referenced Rocky and Bullwinkle: http://us.imdb.com/Mlinks?0054524 I think pinkfreud should claim this prize - well done. Thanks, bobby_d-ga |

I appreciate the effort so far. Bobby_d, the quote was definetely referenced and it was probably was originated in The Bullwinkle Show. However, my question still remains, what "movie(s)" was it referenced in. Thats my problem. Thanks in advance for the help. |

I'm glad I can help you on this. Did you check this site: http://us.imdb.com/Mlinks?0054524 It has a list of movies that referenced Rockie and Bullwinkle - you may recognise one that you have seen, and realise that this is where you obtained the quote from. Hope this assists you, bobby_d |

Yea...I've checked the site but still no luck. My problem is that I cant recall what movie(s) its from. I think once this question expires, I will bump the List Price up a bit and maybe someone can dig a little deeper. I am willing to add a TIP of $10 to the person that finds the answer. :) Its absolutely driving me crazy. Thanks! |

I went after this question convinced the line was spoken by Anthony Quinn in the 1964 movie "Zorba the Greek". Unfortunately, I was unable to find verification of that memory, so I let the question go. If any Google researcher has a source for that script (I looked at quite a number of sites for it), they might check it out. I hope you find a definitive answer because I know how frustrating an unanswered question can be. ericynot-ga |

Thanks for the input. Yeah...this quote is a hard one. Everyone I know seems to know it but nobody can pinpoint what movie(s) its been in. I've actually taken the time and gone through hundreds of scripts online and searched for "strong" and "bull" to see if that quote was in it but still had no luck. I strongly believe, whatever movie it was used it must have been adlibbed by the actor/actress. I think my only chance is if someone just knows the answer. Thanks again for everyones help! |
