There are two things in
Deadly Friend that really stand out. The first is BB, the robot. BB looks like a shittier version of Johnny 5 from
Short Circuit and sounds like R2D2, if R2D2 had been voiced by Stripe from
Gremlins. The other thing that really stands out in the movie is the scene where Kristy Swanson's character throws a basketball at Anne Ramsey's head and her head blows up real good. It's almost as good as the exploding head in
Scanners, almost. And even though
Deadly Friend's exploding head has been meme'd to death, the best part of the scene is actually what happens right after the explosion.You get to see the headless body run around the room spurting blood for a few seconds before it flops to the floor. It might have been my favorite part of the movie.

In college when I first saw this movie we rewound the basketball scene at least a dozen times. Hey, it was the 90s - we had to make our own memes!
