Just so...so bad

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I have been unsuccessfully chasing this movie for 20 yrs. I was 7 when i watched this movie and it has stayed with me since as one of the funniest movies ever. Marty Feldman was a genius.It has now been 31 years since i saw it and it is still as clear in my mind as yesterday. Anne Margaret plays the damsel in distress perfectly and if anyone is lucky enough to have a friend who owns a copy.. borrow it, you will be left with a feel-good smile for a while! If anyone could burn me a copy I would be happy to pay (but not a zillion dollars please...single mother of 3 and struggling!) email me please: iamemily12 at g mail dot com. :)

OK, First I have to say that about 15 years ago my friend and I were flipping through channels and we stopped on a channel (AMC I think) and found a movie that was so bizarre and so hilarious we couldn't take our eyes off of it to flip to the TV guide channel to see what it was, and by the time it was over we were in tears because 1) it was the funniest thing we ever saw and 2) we had no way of knowing what it was called which probably meant we would never be able to watch it again. So after sifting through many several movies after many man years I came up empty, that is until a few days ago when I typed in a search engine the one line I happen to recall from this comedic masterpiece. yes I had typed in this same line once before and I got nothing, but this time, GOLD! after putting in Quotation marks the line "Still alive and dieing" I found this site! in which 1 of your comments was that same quote. after seeing the name of the movie I typed in the movies name in the search engine and found more information on it, I believe this is it, Finally after years of thinking about it and wondering in agony what it was called. So I being a member of Net Flix tried to order it and to my dismay they don't have it. OMG I thought to myself, could this be true, after all this time of wanting to see it again and now I can't find it? So being the resourceful woman that I am, I went to EBAY, Truly a life saver!! After typing in the search for the movie I found that there were no copies that were selling for under $45.00 and that is for VHS. Could not believe it. But wait, there were some other choices picked up by the search that were not the full title or misspelled, and YAY, I found one. I bid on it with only 1 and a half days left on it and I got it for $10.00, What a steal! I haven't received it yet seeing as how I just paid for it last night but she shipped it today, so within a few days I will see, at last the most wonderful piece of movie art Hopefully,,,and will put my mind at ease after all these years. yay me! As for my friend who watched it with me she wondered for a long time what it was too, but we are no longer on speaking terms so she will have to continue to wonder, lol. Although I was thinking about calling her the other day just to tell her I found out, it would after all be cruel of me not to share this information, well, maybe I should,,, NAHHH! if you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it! and if you have seen it, see it again, you won't be sorry!! hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!

I saw this when it first came out many years ago. What I can remember about it are two things:1/ I was NOT amused,2/ it remains to this day (in my 50 years) the ONLY film in which I thought it was so AWFUL I walked out (after just 30 minutes or so) and angry that I wasted good money on it.I enjoyed films like Young Frankenstein and similar genre comedy like Blazing Saddles. But this film was just stupid and not funny like the above two in any way whatsoever. Sorry, but "STUPID comedy" just doesn't tickle my funny bone. It may however appeal to those who find "Terrence & Phillip" to be funny.

I had not seen the original Beau Geste, with Gary Cooper in the title role, when I saw this movie. After seeing this movie, including a *hilarious* 'cameo' of Gary Cooper, I watched the original. It only made me appreciate the humor in the Last Remake even more. The Last Remake (were there ever previous remakes?) parodies the story completely, but every other scene makes you laugh. The scene with Gary Cooper would almost certainly not be allowed on TV today due to censorship so you'll have to buy this movie on, ick, VHS to see it. But at a time when new releases are $10+ to see not including popcorn, paying about $20 for a VHS of this movie, and being able to show it to friends and watch it over and over, is worth it. Trust me on this :)."So that's why you talk so slow Big G."
