Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
deelyte28 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loved that movie from my childhood. I've watched a lot of movies that featured Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill and I've always been a fan of theirs. Unfortunately, a website of theirs is in another language and it's really hard to track any of their movies down. If you like that movie check out the buddy movies featuring Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. Awesome!!!!! I believe most of their movies are subtitled and seem to have a voice over. But nevertheless I enjoyed all of their movies. I happened to catch My Name is Nobody on cable the other day and I believe I seen Bud Spencer as one of the three guys who try to have Nobody take a basket that had a ticking bomb in it to the hero Jack Beauregard. I'm yet to catch up on all of their movies.
Kevin Duke (Duke_Rendar) This Movie has been a favorite of mine ever since I was a Kid. I recently got it on DVD (after losing the copy I had on tape 13 years ago) and it felt like being reunited with an old that hasn't been seen in over a decade. one of my favorite parts is when the Sheriff is fighting the Coast Guard guys in the supermarket (do they even call it that anymore?). I also like the music from the movie as a matter of fact I managed to find one of the songs and downloaded it. I don't know if anyone else has seen this but I think if anybody is looking for a classic comedy I would recommend that the checkout this movie even though it is an old movie.
fred-224 My hometown of Monroe, Georgia (USA) was the site of at least some of the filming of "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid". I have never actually seen the film, but I participated in a scene where there was a parade down the main street of my town. I was basically a bystander on the sidewalk who was waving as the parade went by. I have always wanted to see the movie to not only see what the movie was all about, but to also see myself in my one and only film debut. I would appreciate any leads in how I may go about getting a copy of the film.
DoctorC This film has all the usual elements of the 'Alien Visitor' format and doesn't tax the viewer, but it is truly memorable in places. I haven't seen this film for a long time, yet I still laugh every time I think about H7-25 with his time reversal gadget, making his pursuers leap in and out of a helicopter. Bud Spencer as the sheriff looks and acts like he should have been in spaghetti westerns, yet this approach works beautifully, especially in the scene where the kid eats his sandwich. This film is just the thing to watch the day after a big night out. Sit back, stop thinking, be amused.
