"Only six of these were ever made. Only five ever worked. We have four of those." IMHO this is the best movie Brooks ever made. He plays an egocentric, inept film director who turns a simple movie into a botched science experiment. The high-tech gadgetry is ultra low-tech these days. It's a gem of a movie. If you haven't seen it, it is well-worth renting -- or buying.

I've seen this film dozens of times -- it still makes me laugh. Scenes often feature one character ranting for several minutes. Donald Sutherland and Alan Arkin have small but memorable roles. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys dry humor.

"Now I'm not saying I'm any better or stronger than you are. We just have different temperaments. And my temperament is better and stronger than yours!"
