Rustlers' Rhapsody (1985)
Hilarious
The funniest Western spoof ever, and yes I have seen "Blazing Saddles", What makes it so is the running plot of the "Good Guy" and his never wavering bravery and honor...the jokes are both overt and subliminal, but they actually make you laugh, not cringe,(as in "saddles") An adult can laugh his Ass off, and still feel OK letting his eight year old view along with him. .....Also for those of us who grew up with John Wayne as our hero, don't miss the closing credits song "The Last of the Silver Screen Cowboys" By Rex Allen Jr. If you can remember sitting on a Saturday afternoon in a cinema as a kid in the 40's or 50's, or in front of the TV with dad in the 60's or 70's watching the old westerns this song is sure to bring a tear to the eye...Enjoy this off the wall treat!!
Curse of the Pink Panther (1983)
Not great, but enjoyable
I believe that this effort was very good considering that the star of the series did not appear in it(due to his passing) Ted Wass almost grows into a Clousseau like character as the movie goes on, yes we miss the horribly funny accent and antics of Sellers, but we watch movies like this for the visual comedy and there is plenty of that, And of course what you tune into any "panther" movie to see it how does Dreyfuss get shot, blown up or nearly killed, and Sleigh does his best at accidentally taking Dreyfuss to the edge of Insanity just like Clousseau always did. The overall Plot is actually kind of clever, and keeps you wondering how it can possibly unfold knowing that Sellers character is not available...those who do not like this film, I believe are of the "you can't replace Sellers' "clousseau" ilk. that may be true, but give the master of adult comedy "Edwards " a chance , open your mind and be entertained
