site of her famous Sister Mary Stigmata in BLUES BROTHERS. A little hid den gem when you see it.
But this is comedy gold. The director is Tom Mankiewicz. And you are all, like, why do I know that name? Well, he only wrote the screenplay for DIA MONDS ARE FOREVER, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, LIVE AND LET DIE, LADYHAWKE, and THE EAGLE HAS LANDED. Oh, and did I mention that he was hired by Richard Donner to rewrite the screenplay for SUPERMAN 1 & 2? Well, this is his directorial debut, and he did not get many more after this. But with him and Aykroyd writing this flick, the com edy dialogue is perfect. As much as I love those Bond flicks for the action, I also love the comedy he bestowed on those flicks. This is a perfect com bination of both.
And like most flicks I recommend, I think you need to hear the memorable lines:
“Frank quit, moved to Ukiah, bought a goat farm.”
“Jump on this and spin, cop!”
“Muzz. Emil Muzz.”
“Oh, thank God, vibrator repair!”
“Don’t forget your goat leggings.”
This flick is just a fun comedy that gets overlooked way too much by way too many people. Hanks is awesome as he was in all of those 80s comedy flicks. He is funny effortlessly, and Aykroyd is just a comedy god. Looks like it is on Apple TV for four bucks, which is a solid rental. Oh, last thing: when you are done go find the “City of Crime” music video. Yup, a music video. Did I mention it was choreographed by Paula Abdul. Just 80s gold. Wait! Have You Not Seen... The Running Man? September 30, 2022 Welcome back to another edition of my little column where I tell you about movies I think you should have seen. If you remember, I worked at a video store and have seen thousands of flicks and feel like a lot of people skip over some hidden gems. I’m trying my best to highlight a few from my top ten, because these are the flicks I have seen a lot. But no flick have I seen more times or essentially know more about than my favorite Arnold flick.
