Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
MartinHafer To me, the best kids shows are the ones that both kids and parents can enjoy together. Well, "Lancelot Link" is definitely NOT a program that the parents can watch...as after about five minutes the novelty will wear off and the parents will be praying for their own death! It simply is a chore to watch this show unless you are a child. Think about it....the show is nothing but chimps dressed up in human guise and acting out (very crudely) a James Bond-style show. As a 6 year-old, I was even bored by it--though I had friends who watched it regularly. Heck, when I was a senior in high school, I even knew a guy who skipped school just to watch it!! So, obviously someone liked it. But then and now, I simply don't get it and it's a one-joke show that you'll either tolerate or it will annoy you to no end...especially if you are older than 5.
health-ed I too am in the position of bizarre looks and "yeah,right" comments. Only one of my dearest friends is behind me on this bandwagon. No one else but he remembers Lancelot Link, Spy Monkey. Everyone else thinks we are crazy. As we tell them it is impossible for both of us to remember a show so vividly if it wasn't real. We like to bring it up occasionally to see if anyone else remembers the show. I remember the chimps acting so person like and solving crimes/mysteries. I would like to see some of the show again as an adult with a different perspective.I'm so glad that others are in the position of weird looks and doubtful statements. Yep it was a cool show and I remember it well. Thanks for validating what we already know.
jonesy74-1 Amusing at first... got old real fast. I thought it was cute for about ten minutes. It was inevitable that someone would create a series where Chimps acted and talked like humans (after all, Mules and Horses had talked in movies and on t.v., hadn't they? Why not Chimpanzees?).Mel Blanc supplied the Humphrey Bogart voice for Link. What really got to me was Lance's Chimp girlfriend, Mata Hairy(?), with her smarmy voice bleating out, "Laaaanshalot," a la Edith Bunker.It aired on Saturday afternoons in my town where the t.v. would be running but the family was involved in other pursuits and giving it momentary nods of attention. Plot? What plot? Cute monkeys acting like a detective and his secretary/girlfriend. Why pay attention to a plot?A lot of thought and creativity went into the show but it just couldn't hold my attention. I'm glad for those who liked it and were entertained by it.
David V I remember watching this show on Nickelodian, and I loved it. Think "Get Smart" done entirely with chimps. I still every once in a while see the villain character used in a promo for some tv station, I think it may be ESPN, but I'm not certain. Anyway, the stories were always funny to begin with, but made even funnier by using chimps as the actors. They never showed any humans, and you never missed them. If you find this show anywhere, check it out. It's definitely worth it!
