Tuchergson Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
spectrum-15 Was this the series where a lot of the guys chasing after the hero were in ice-cream trucks and getting their orders through close-circuit TVs in same? I remember being somewhat scared of the real ice-cream truck and the loud, jangling tune that it played over its tannoy speakers as a kid. I was always impressed with shows that were perceptive enough to also see through the ice-cream truck's innocent facade!But perhaps I'm conflating this with the ice-cream truck in the "Man from U.N.C.L.E." episode "The Suburban Affair". It had smoke-bomb, grenade and black-jack Popsicles but I don't think that the bad guys there (T.H.R.U.S.H. - the Technical Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity) were advanced enough for video links with HQ, only audio from what we would now call cell-phones.
jbrotychoorion to the person who thought Buddy used power pills, I think you are recalling another show that was on CBS around the same time called Mr. Terrific. I think of both shows in the same breath as well. They had a similar look and sensibility about them. The scene I remember about this show, and I don't know why , is where Buddy ( who wasn't too smart) is working at a Coney island type snack bar. Hes being instructed on the art of selling frosty type ice cream cones.....when a little girl comes up and asks for a frosty....he goes to the frosty machine, swirls the ice cream onto the cone and hands it to girl, who says , "thank you ", and walks away......he asks the person training him how he did, and they say "great, except for one thing, you didn't get her money!"....as a kid, that struck me as funny......
brojabber My memory of this show was that it was a vignette within another; i.e. it was a very short format that was used something like an intermission within another show.But I do remember some of the words to the theme tune --went something like "Run Buddy Run" (what a whiz I am ;)and the Turkish bath scene does ring a bell--thanks for the memory-jog.I must have got this idea from another show--does anyone remember what that might be? and keeping in mind I was only 6 at the time and watching in London, England it may well have been sandwiched between two episodes of the same show--which may well have been Get Smart.
robacosta The writer commented he could not remember ifBuddy overheard or witnessed something that gothim into trouble with the mob.The answer is that while minding his own business in a sauna when some mob members come in and startdiscussing a recent hit...unaware anyone else was there because of all the steam...It was interesting noticing how the actor playing Buddy visibly lost weight during the course of its one season...from all the running I suppose...
