Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Bezenby I can't understand a word anyone says in this film! This regional film involves, mainly, car chases, so I guess dialogue isn't such an important thing here anyway. You've got your two characters, Oosh and Boosh, two pot smoking hicks who meet up with Big Jim, who flies in drugs from Cuba and Colombia. Our heroes (plus their two sidekicks) then unload the plane and drive off, the only problem being that within about ten seconds of doing so, the police are on their tail. You've never met two more unlucky drugs couriers, as the police are on to them every time they try something, the mafia have changed management and want money back for lost shipments, and they're about to get stiffed for their biggest heist. You'd think they'd just go and get normal jobs or something. If you're in the mood for lengthy car chases and facial hair, amateur acting and surprisingly funky music, then this is the film for you. Acccording to the credits there were no stunt men involved in the film, so that'll be the actors driving through houses and trying to ram each other off the road then (and hanging from a helicopter, now that I remember it). Although ultra low budget (the acting especially is rather dodgy) I got a kick out of this film. There's not enough plot for it to drag anywhere and I'm sure the wife loved the constant howl of police sirens from the television. The only thing that struck me was that the violence level was rather high and jarred a bit against the slapstick car chases. There's not much of it, but at one point some guy got shot in the face just out of nowhere and two other characters were rather bluntly blown away. Just my kind of film, plenty of action and nothing to worry about. Still, the accents are so thick you'll be all like 'say what?' any time someone speaks.
davepitts Boy, this one is realllllllllllly a chore to sit through. I am glad I read up on the film here, though, because when I watched it I thought Oosh's brother was "Doosh." It sure sounds like that on the soundtrack. I'm kind of sorry he wasn't; Oosh and Doosh are perfect names for these two. The film: if there is any way at all to shoot car chases imaginatively, this crew didn't find it. Long, lame set-ups to gags: a house is being hauled down the road with a drunk hillbilly asleep inside, on a dirty pallet. Cut to the weed haulers and the cop cars. Cut back to the hillbilly, who twitches in his sleep. Cut back to the weed haulers. Cut back to the hillbilly. Gee, I wonder if the weed haulers will crash through the house, and the drunk hillbilly will wake up to find the house in pieces? He's bound to have a really funny reaction to that. Look, they crashed through the house and the hillbilly woke up. Other things to love: the drug kingpin who wears a little businessman's hat inside his house -- the pot plane ballad, sung over the freeze-framed plane at the end -- the pilot telling Oosh and Doosh (sorry, that's his ideal name), "Now, I'm going to get to the meat of the coconut!" as he lays out his big scheme.
walkinthecreek I haven't seen this movie yet, but my husband has. He said it stunk as bad as the previous commenter said.My take on it is, I grew up just a few miles from where the plane landed, just down Highway 100. My dad and my uncle heard about it on their CB radios and went up to see it before the Sheriff ever got there. A short time later, they took the rest of us up the hill to see it. The plane was empty, but it was amazing how small the clearing was in which they landed this plane.Literally, a square landing field was made in the middle of the woods. There were tree stumps and debris and Georgia red mud, it was like a choppy ocean with hard, stationary waves.The plane had clipped pine trees as it came down and there were still pine needles stuck in the prop.I was only about 10 and I'll never forget how surreal it was. Maybe if I ever actually see the flick, I'll come back and tell you how they did.
yblockman I saw this movie when my mother bought it in the $2 bin at a local video store. It was without a doubt a low budget production with terrible actors, but it made me laugh. The police chases with all the crazy things that happen are hilarious! You can tell from the beginning when you see the junky police cars that there will be a lot of crashing going on. I watched it several times and it is one of the few movies i've seen that's so bad it's funny. I don't have the tape anymore but would buy it again if I found it..... there's probably not that many in existence anymore! This just goes to show you that you don't have to spend a lot of money on a movie to have a good time.
