Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

garyrussell-00615 My best friend maintained for years he watched a movie called Evil Roy Slade when he was heading out on a two week National Guard simulated deployment in the 70's. He said he was sober but as he described the movie it seemed more likely it was something imagined by someone who was less than sober. MANY years later I came across the title accidentally while researching something else and wondered if there was something to what my friend had described. I secured a video taped version and I was not disappointed. It was everything, and MORE of what I expected; and remains what I fondly refer to as my favorite stupid movie of all time. Sneekin', Lyin, Arrogance, Dirtyness and Evil. How can anyone not love Evil Roy Slade?

roosta1369 I remember this movie being shown on TV every Christmas day for years and I fell about laughing every time I saw it. Then it disappeared from the screen and Christmas afternoon was never the same. It was never even available on videotape. Then one day I found a DVD copy online from the US and Christmas is back. Even though it is 40 years after it was made my son in law can't stop laughing when I play it and now the grandchildren are getting into it as well. The quotes don't stop. If only they made shows like this today, there is nothing wrong with humour that doesn't involve obscenities. Classic comedy, this deserves to be in the top 100 comedy movies of all time (I would have it in the top 10 but I am biased.) Pure gold.

FightingWesterner Orphaned as a baby and raised by buzzards (!) John Astin is the meanest (and quite possibly the dumbest) man in the west and a thorn in the side of railroad man Mickey Rooney. Falling in love for the first time, he vows to go straight and takes a job as a shoe salesman in Milton Berle's store!This made-for-television movie, co-written and produced by Garry Marshall, is probably the funniest ever made, with a seemingly endless barrage of hilarious sight-gags and one-liners, as well as a fun cast of comedic stars like Henry Gibson, Pat Morita, John Ritter, Ed Begley Jr., Penny Marshall, and Dick Shawn as a flamboyant rhinestone covered lawman.A few of the best scenes involve Astin's stagecoach fight with iconic little-person Billy Curtis, who's probably best remembered for High Plains Drifter and The Terror Of Tiny Town, and psychiatrist Dom DeLuise's attempts to cure him of his wickedness. The scene where he teaches Astin how to walk again, this time without guns, is a riot!This really should have been given a theatrical release. It's that good!

Martin McGlone This is one of my all time favourite comedy movies. There are so many gags and one liners. One of the funniest; Evil Roy is firing his gun through an open window from inside a house during a shootout. Realising that the window is in fact open, he reaches up, pulls the sash shut, smashes the glass with his pistol and carries on shooting; thus maintaining his "evilness". The casting is perfect and the whole project gels together to make a memorable film. John Astin is hilarious as Evil Roy. Not only does he deliver his lines perfectly his pantomime and facial expressions are fantastic. I imagine that this movie is very well known in the US. Not too many people in the UK have heard of it. I'd be very interested to know if this is the case.
