WOW! THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE!
3 May 2000
I just bought a copy of "For Your Height Only" today...thinking it to be nothing more than a mere spoof...but I was wrong! Like "The Omega Man" this movie has a couple of bloopers, but its so funny...I choked on my drink when I watched the scene where Double-O has that fight by the ferris wheel! Even if a movie is cheap and old,don't judge by that! For the moment it is definitley one of my faves! I love these cheap foreign comedies! Agent Double-O is a master spy and a cold hearted killer, so I don't know about parents wanting their young children watching this hilarious comedy! This is worth a look! If you like this film I suggest my favourite film of all time : WATCH OUT,WE'RE MAD! Like For Your Height Only, Watch out Were mad is full of many one liners and hilarious fight scenes! This movie was made for people who enjoy so-stupid-its-funny movies! My vote 8/10 ! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!!

THIS MOVIE FREAKED ME OUT !
28 April 2000
Warning: Spoilers
This 12 year old girl named Alice kills her little sister because shes jealous of her getting all this attention. Turns out everyone in her apartment house and people in her family are getting killed by this old woman who wears the same clothes as Alice did when she killed her sister, so everyone thinks Alice killed everyone...till the end of the movie...

This movie scared me many times..especially when Alice stabbed her aunt in the leg...but the part that scared me the most was when the old lady stabs the priest in the neck during mass, that scared the hell out of me....

What i didnt like is that old hag killed the fat buddy....the fat guy with all the cats in his apartment was cool!!!!!!

THIS MOVIE IS ALL RIGHT...IT'S NOTHING I WOULD BUY, I THINK HORROR FANS WOULD BE PLEASED WITH THIS ONE! MY VOTE 6/10

A DECENT BUD SPENCER FLICK!
28 April 2000
Ivan Coburn (Spencer) deflowered the sister of the fastest gun around, Sonny.(Jack Palance) Sonny wants Coburn to marry his sister so she wont live in shame, and then Sonny wants to kill Coburn. During all this Coburn has to take care of a small boy named Chip Anderson whos uncle died from a gun shot. I laughed alot during this movie....many fights and one liners....This movie was much better than I thought it would be. I think it's for Terence Hill and Bud Spencer fans only...or if you like the whole sphagetti western thing. There is something unusal in this film....there's a guy who pays 2 dollars for a bucket if dirt..and then he eats it!!??? (he's looking for soil with oil in it.) The start to this is also funny.....Coburn complains to his horse through the whole credits because it wont move, but when he sees a man with a gun the horse jumps to it's feet!

My vote is 6/10. A good movie for people who like "They call me Trinity" style movies!

THIS WAS A GOOD ACTION FLICK!
21 April 2000
Rudy Duncan is released from jail pretending to be someone else. He is posing as his dead prison mate so he can meet his prison mate's pen-pal-girlfriend. Rudy meets the girl and has a wonderful time until the girls gangster brother Gabriel, (Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump) shows up with his buddies and many assorted guns. They threaten Rudy's life if he doesnt help them rob a casino that his dead prison mate used to work for...and he is posing as the dead prision mate....they think Rudy knows how to steal the casino blind, but he doesn't ! Sucks for Rudy!

I liked Reindeer Games, it was full of action, guns, and a little bit of comedy....this is my type of movie!!! Reindeer Games was also way better than I expected it to be! The trailer made it look awesome! They should have released this movie before christmas. (it took place during the holidays) Gary Sinise performance as Gabriel was awesome.....he plays a good sleazy b*****d!....his long hair makes him look like a physcopath!

What I didn't like about the movie was the end....he gave all that money away! What a moron! He need's a good punch on the mind!

My vote is 7/10.I suggest you see it if you like action and suspense...I'm definitely buying this one on video!

OBVIOUSLY ONE OF MY FAVE MOVIES OF ALL TIME!
21 April 2000
Seth and Richard Gecko have murdered 16 people and took one lady hostage...they get the ransom money and try to think of a plan to get to Mexico so they wont have to worry about going to prison. They cant think of a good plan so they hijack a small family's motor home to get to mexico...when they get there they have to meet at a bar called the "TITTY TWISTER" to wait for thier friend Carlos! While waiting for Carlos, they find out that all the employees and strippers at the bar are vampires.... The Gecko's fight like hell to stay alive!

This movie is full of gore and action....not to mention that the person who played "Sex Machine" (Tom Savini) is famous for special effects and the make-up for MANY horror films!

I also did not expect vampires in this movie at all...I thought it would be another cool hitman movie from Quentin Tarantino. I didnt realise Robert Rodriguez had anything to do with it,But after i found out, it explained alot of the movie. Cool movie but i prefer Terence Hill and Bud Spencer comedies. My Vote 8/10

This movie is used as a torture device!!!
20 April 2000
THIS MOVIE IS AWFUL BEYOND WORDS! It was not scarry in anyway and the movie almost made me throw up because of the camera bouncing up and down...to tell the truth alot of people went the the ticket window and got thier money back!

If you are being forced to watch this movie, do what most people did, run for the razors!

I give this movie a 1/10 ONLY because 0 is not an option.

The Rocketeer (1991)
THIS MOVIE IS JUST DANDY !
20 April 2000
This movie is fun! Its an origanal story about Cliff Secord in 1938, who is a pilot and spent all his time and money into making his one plane, but during the test flight a gang escaping from the police shot thier guns in the air and wrecked the plane! The gang hides a rocket (that you can strap on yer back and fly) in a plane in the hangar. Now that Cliff's plane is ruined, hes all mad and stuff until he finds the rocket...he borrows it for a while at first to make a bit of money....but turns out that the rocket was stolen from the creator to be sold to german nazis to help take over the world....thats about it! Timothy Dalton and Alan Arkin's performance were much better than expected! I never thought I would see Timothy Dalton in a comedy! He usually acts in very serious roles!

I really recommend this to everyone...like I said before....it's a very fun movie! MY VOTE : 8/10

Terrific Terence Hill and Bud Spencer film!
15 April 2000
"I'm for the Hippopotamus" is a good movie! It maybe hard for non Terence and Bud fans to like it, but its damn funny! Its about Slim and Tom having to stop a german tyrant called Jack Ormond from sending half the african wildlife to the Toronto Zoo in Ontario, Canada. It doesnt sound like much of a plot but there are some priceless scenes here, like the fights, the pawn shop "robbery", escaping from jail with a bulldozer, Silm drinks caviar mixed with butter,salt, pepper, and champagne. The whole casino bit! That was good! Joe Bugner's performance as Ormond was better than expected! IT'S A MUST FOR TERENCE AND BUD FANS LIKE MYSELF! My vote, 9/10. >

Troublemakers (1994)

TERENCE HILL AND BUD SPENCER ARE FINALLY BACK!
8 April 2000
Terence and Bud, after 9 years, finally made another movie together! It was just what I expected! Fights, romantic sub plot, and beans. The plot is Travis and Moses mother wants them to come home for christmas, but theres a problem. Moses wont go back to his ma's house because years ago, she let all the horses he stole go free. I liked this movie! The best scene is where Moses is going to get hanged and when they pull the lever the gallow falls apart! It couldnt support Moses' weight! Not as good as a small few of thier movies like Im for the Hippopotamus and Watch out Were Mad but still its a good hill/spencer outing. Supposedly this is supposed to be the third "Trinity" movie, but due to legal hassles, it couldnt be done. Its been 6 years and I'm still waiting for Terence and Bud to make a new comedy! My rating is 7/10.

ONE OF MY TOP 3 FAVORITE MOVIES! THE BEST WITH BOTH TERENCE & BUD
17 March 2000
I LOVE THIS FILM! IF THERE WAS ONE MOVIE I COULD KEEP OUT OF MY 200, I'D KEEP THIS ONE! The Plot : Kid and Ben are contestants in a race car derby so they can win the grand prize, on red dune buggy with a yellow top. They both cross the finish line at the same time. They dont know who is going to keep the Dune Buggy so they have the legandary Hotdog eating and Beer drinking contest in an Amusement Park. In the middle of the contest the mafia destroys the amusement park and they also wreck Kid and Bens Brand New Dune Buggy. They arent happy with this, so they try many ways to get a new dune buggy from the mob. They mob isnt happy so they hire a hit man name Paganini to kill both Kid and Ben! I'll stop here....I don't want to tell the end of the movie! Just go rent it....that will be hard for Americans because this movie isnt released there. The best scenes are Kid and Ben singing in the Choir, the jousting on motor cycles, and the fight in the gym and the fight at the Restaurant! Its too bad that many people dont like the fight humor in T+B films! I'd perfer these anyday to Hollywood type movies! People who dont understand these movies should lighten up and realise how funny they are! If you liked this movie i suggest these: 1. They call me trinity 2. trinity is still my name! 3. crime busters 4. odds and evens 5. Flatfoot (aka- Piedone lo Sbirro) W.O.W.M. gets a 9/10 !!!!!!!!

NOT HALF AS GOOD AS THE ORIGANAL, BUT I LIKED IT!
5 March 2000
I REALLY liked this show! My favorite character is that old english Hillbilly. He's hillarious! I can see the many ways how this TV series is a disapiontment to the fans of the origanl, but it wasn't a let down for me! I was glad to see the Grace Bros. employees back together. ONE THING dissapionted me! Where was MR. LUCAS? HE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER! I wish I knew the reason why he left the origanal in 1979.Still, this series is very humorous. My 2 favorite episodes are : The episode where this young black haired guy wants to fight Mr Humpries because that old Hillbillie's daughter has a crush on Mr Humpries and not himself. I understand that there were many episodes like this but i remember at the end, the cast is playing a game of CRICKET. My 2nd fave episode is where Mrs. Slocome EX-HUSBAND wants to buy the Motel. I remeber Mrs Slocome hides behind a liquor cabinet, where they used to hide people during the war! Thats was my absoulte favorite episdoe of this series! Enough said!

The Young Ones (1982–1984)
OH NO!, TECHNO FEAR! - A memorable quote from the "Young Ones"
5 March 2000
This is one the BEST comedy TV series ever made! those memorable characters, Rik Fagget (The gay guy) Niel Pye (the hippie) Vyvian Basterd (the punk) Mike TheCoolPerson (the unfunny guy)

This show is the best! my personal fave episodes are "Boring" and "Sick" and "Summer Holiday".

Mainly this show is about 4 english college students who live in a slum and go to Scumbag College, and they hate thier current Prime Minister, Margret Thatcher.

I suggest that everyone with a sense of humor should see "The Young Ones" and "Are you being Served?". The 2 best TV show ever made!

I would like to list some quotes from The Young Ones but it would take all night!

Heres a funny quote from this show;

NEIL : "This whole planting thing is a cool idea, We sew the seed, nature grows the seed, and then we eat the seed, and then, we sew the seed, nature grows the seed, and we eat the seed, and then we sew the seed,,,

RIK : Shut up Niel, just Shut Up! NIEL: But Rik, you dont understand the nature of the whole planting thing!.........WE SEW THE SEED!!!!..... NATURE GROWS THE SEED AND THEN....

(RICK HITS NIEL OVER THE HEAD WITH A SHOVEL)

RIK: Ok Niel get up!!!....NIEL????? Oh god! I've killed a hippie and now im going to pay!, i'll be sent to prison, and be raped the the big men in shower! Oh god!

Are You Being Served? (1972–1985)
THE FUNNIEST TELEVISION SERIES EVER MADE.
5 March 2000
I am not joking, this is the funniest TV series that was ever made! The "Young Ones" almost tied with this, but the reason it didnt is because I have never laughed so hard, and so many times in my life while watching a TV show. My favorite character was MR. LUCAS! He would always have something funny or insulting to say to MRS. SLOCOME. Why he left the series in 1979, I don't know! I would like to know the reason! My second fave character is obviously MR. HUMPREIES. When he would answer the phone, he would say "MENS WEAR" in a VERY deep vioce, and when he found out it was someone he knew he would talk in his normal squaking voice! another favorite character, was MR. HARMAN, the janitor. I liked how he always talked back to Captain Peacock. My favorite episode is "HOLD UP". This is the episode where those 2 gangsters break in Grace Bros and the Employees dress up as gangsters to try and get the robber out of the store! HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE EPSIODE! There is something different about this TV series! You can watch the reruns 10 times each and never get sick of them!

If you like "Are you being Served?" I suggest these 2 television shows : "The Young Ones" and "Kepping Up Appearences". I have to hand it to England for producing the best TV series' in the world

I have to congratulate Italy, for the best comedy movies! Which comedy movie?, are you asking? If you like the British comedy TV shows I think you will enjoy the movies "They Call me Trinity", "Trinity is STLL my Name!","Watch out, Were Mad!" all staring TERENCE HILL & BUD SPENCER!

Are you Being Served get perfect 10/10. All my faveorite movies or TV series' have never got a rating of 10 out of 10,and one movie did get a 9/10. That movie would be "My Name is Nobody". I don't think I will ever be able to give a 9 or higher rating for any movie or TV show ever again!

BUT OF COURSE, THIS JUST MY OPINION! WRITE ME A MESSAGE IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANY OF THIS!

THIER SECOND BEST MOVIE OUT OF THE 19 THEY MADE TOGETHER.
27 February 2000
Trinity (Terence Hill) is a drifter, and has nothing better to do than roam around the country, sleeping on his cot attached to the saddle of his horse. He somehow drifts into a town, where his brother, Bambino,(Bud Spencer) is the Sheriff. Bambino hates his brother,because all Trinity does is cause trouble.Bambino tries everything to make him leave town. Trinity finds out that his brother isn't the real sherrif. Bambino shot the real sherrif in the leg and stole his badge and left him for dead. So Trinity has a great idea! BLACKMAIL! Bambino doesn't object, because there is a gangster in town called " The Major", who wants to kill some mormon settlers, who are living in a valley he wants for himself. He needs Trinity's help to stop the Major from killing the mormons, and steal all the Majors' Stallions!

This movie is an EXCELLENT comedy! It shouldn't be rated as a western. It is a "B" movie straight from Italy but I think its great! Everyone likes the scenes where Bambino hits people on the top of thier heads and knocks them out! Thats very origanal!

The sequel to this movie is almost as good as the origanal! It's called "Trinity is Still my Name", but the best movie with both Terence Hill and Bud Spencer is "Watch Out were Mad!".(A modern-day comedy) Check them out on IMDb.com

They call me Trinity gets a 7/10

My fave movie with Cheech Marin!
22 February 2000
Excellent Movie! Cheech is sent to a factory full of illegal immigrants to pick up his cousin "Javier". When he gets there, a pile of cops come in a arrest the immigrants. They think cheech is one of them, and they send him to mexico. If he had only took his wallet with him, he wouldn't have been sent down south. I read all the reviews and most people didn't like this film, but i think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread! The best part of the movie is when he tells the prison guard, Phil,says "Rudy, you still owe me $100!" Cheech says "Yeah, Heres one of them, F**K YOU!" (I wish IMDb allowed curse words!) This gets a 7/10. It's worth your money!

Crime Busters (1977)
8/10
IN MY OPINION,"CRIME BUSTERS" TIED WITH "WATCH OUT WERE MAD" FOR THE BEST TERENCE AND BUD MOVIE!
20 February 2000
This movie has to be one of the best slap-stick comedies EVER made!Heres the plot: Two guys named Matt Kirby ( Terence Hill ) and Wilbur Walsh( Bud Spencer )are sick of having no work which means no money so they decide to rob a super market. When they are ready they go around the back of the building, jump in, and its a police recruitment office...not good! So they become cops. They hate being police so they decide to really mess thing up, like arresting the Leiutenant Govenor, but they are still with the police because the Captain of police( David Huddleston ) likes Matt and Wilbur, every time they "MESS UP" they help solve a case or prevent robberies and fights!

My favorite scene is when Bud Spencer destroys some guys car and then says "Have a nice day!" Excellent, 8/10

If you liked this movie, i suggest " Watch Out were Mad" and "They call me Trinity"

THE BIGGEST RIP-OFF OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
17 February 2000
I couldn't stand this movie!!!!!! It was the biggest rip off of all time!!!! It was too much like the Truman Show!!!!! I couldn't believe how they did that!!!!!! EXACT SAME PLOT! Some person figures out that thier whole life was aired on TV.They had secret camera's and microphones and filmed what he did and said his whole life!! This movie annoyed me. But i wasn't the worst movie i have seen! I'd give it a 3/10. Believe it or not!

BEST BOND ACTOR, FILM, THEME SONG, WOMAN!
6 February 2000
If you want to hear the plot, read another review! This is my opinion!

THIS IS THE BEST BOND FILM! Believe it or not, this is the ONLY 007 film that has a believable plot and a somewhat good theme song! Lot of people never liked Timothy Dalton as Bond, but if any of you had ever taken the time to read any 007 books, you would realise that he is Bond!

My personal 007 faves to date are: 1. The Living Daylights 2. Licence to Kill 3. Diamonds are Forever 4. For you Eyes Only 5. The World is Not Enough

2 things really shocked me when I went to see this The Living Daylights! (1)Bond didn't screw the opposite sex left and right! He actually treated the girl with respect! Tell me all the other Bond actors who did that!(2) Dalton portrayed Bond as a real person! Not some superman who laughed when his life was hanging by a thread! Too bad Dalton didnt act in Goldeneye. It probably would have been a much better movie.

All and all, this was a damn good movie....its worth seeing. 7/10

FUNNY MOVIE!, but not one of Terence and Buds best!
14 January 2000
This movie is about a navy Leiutenant named Johnny Firpo (Terence Hill) who is ordered to work with the Miami Police force to help stop a gang of crooked card sharks. He needs the help of a pro gambler-now retired named Charlie Firpo.(Bud Spencer)Charlie won't help Johnny, so Johnny steals Charlies transfer truck and he then agrees to help him.They both find out that they are half brothers. Johnny convinces Charlie that thier father is "Blind" and need to raise $ 100,000 for an eye operation. So Charlie becomes a gambler again just to raise the money.

I laughed alot at this movie! Especially when it showed Bud Spencer dressed up as a baby! I nearly died when I saw that!

It was good but not one of Terence and Bud's best comedies! I suggest you one of these: Crimebusters, All the way boys, Watch out, Were mad! or their most famous film "They Call me Trinity".

One of my faveorite Cop movies!
14 January 2000
This movie is cool! It's about a man named Inspector Rizzo from Naples Italy. He has a nickname "Flatfoot" given to him from everyone in town and on the police force. He want's to keep drug dealing and prostitution out of his town. He refuses to carry a gun, he only carries his fists! His boss thinks that Flatfoot's methods of policing are "Unorthadox" and he requires that every officer must carry a gun. But Flatfoot still refuses. One of the better cop movies around and has a good opening scene. ( The guy on the roof shooting at the people in the street) It's north american title is " A fistfull of hell" if you ever think of renting this movie!

This movie gets 7/10

Another COOL western !
14 January 2000
WOW ! This was one good western, and it also has Bud Spencer (one of my fave actors) as one of the main roles! Heres the plot :

A man named Bill Kiaowa was sent to prison for 5 years for killing his wife....a crime which he didn't commit.When he's released from jail, he rounds up his old buddies to help him kill the man who killed his wife....

Yeah, your thinking, oh, just another boring western! It is just one of those simple westerns that were rip offs of " The good, the bad, and the Ugly" but give it a shot! Its worthwile!

Today it's me.... gets 6/10

ONE OF THE BETTER BOND MOVIES !
6 January 2000
I thought this was a good Bond movie,BUT I'm kind of disapointed on how the Bond movies have changed over the years....I think the last GREAT Bond movie was "Licence To Kill". After Licence to Kill, I find the Bond movies completley changed....this one was good,actually! I'm not going to tell the plot (read another review for that) but this movie is worth seeing, especially if you like Action movies and another 007 show, "For You Eyes Only". The guy who played "Renard" did a great performance and so did John Cleese.(the guy who played "R" and also played Monty Python) I can't wait till another 007 comes to theater, and I hope they will have a different actor,this time,as Bond!!!!

JUST AWFUL !
5 January 2000
This movie was terrible and boring! EXTREEMLY boring! I saw a comercial for this when I went to see the new James Bond movie, (The World is not Enough) and it looked awesome, but when I went to see it, I was so disapointed, After about 12 people left the theater (There was only about 23 there) My freinds and I left too and got our money back. We just couldn't sit there any longer! I am writing this review to help save you other people from seeing this 2 hour (seems like 5 hour) FILM ! I don't want anyone else going through the torture everyone in the theater that night went through.

NOT HALF AS GOOD AS " WALKING TALL "
27 December 1999
This movie was good.....but i suggest you see the original.(Walking Tall) I find that this movie shows Buford Pusser as just a fantasy movie character, and not the real tennessee sheriff he was. Bo Svenson was terrible as the role of Sheriff Buford. Why didn't Joe Don Baker act in the final two? They probably would have been alot better if he were in them.
