Which film has the "Here's Johnny!" bathroom door scene?
Correct answer: The Shining
Joe D
It's not "completely random ". Jack is a nickname for John, so the character's real name is probably John, so "here's Johnny " is an obvious quote.

DawnyC, it’s actually a very English thing. The Americans just copy everything!

I saw the movie when I was younger than most viewers... I can confirm, despite being European "at the time", I had no knowledge of Nicholson's ad-libbed, Carson show reference - double entendre. So you bet - its shock filled effect was definitely on point. And well done Kubrick for leaving it in, regardless, IOW!

A great Stephen King book.

Joe D, my dads name was John but he didn’t have jack as a nickname, or is that an American thing?

Correctly answered thanks to the Simpson's episode of The Shinning.

Incorrectly stated. Jack Nicholson ad-libbed the line, not just the character played by Nicholson, Jack Torrance. Kubrick, who was a consummate director, hated ad-libbed lines, but left this in and the scene became iconic.
