Ok, I remember seeing this movie a LONG time ago...with various things flowing through my blood stream and laughing to the point of almost passing out.

Well, I am an adult now (sigh) but would love to be able to see this movie again...perhaps show my lady the things in my life that molded me into the man I am today!! Does anyone know if this title is available anywhere? I am guessing DVD would be out of the question, but I will revert back to VHS (for old times sake) if the sitation called for it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I worked in a video store in the mid 80's and remember this title. It is on VHS (United States as opposed to PAL in the UK) Alhough I don't know where you can find a copy I know there's at least ONE out there. Good luck

I remember another movie about the same time called "can I do it till I go blind" I would love to get hold of both.

The video store in my town has a copy...made the mistake of renting it about a year ago...didn't think it was that funny, except for a few brief parts. It DID have a catchy theme song, though!

My uncle is Jeff Doucette. I think it was his 1st MOVIE, he did TV work before this.

I recently sold a VHS copy of this movie on ebay.com. You should look there if you're seeking it.

I picked up a copy of this from a video store that was closing down years ago - cost me 33p (well, £1 for 3), which I guess is about 55¢... not too bad! Maybe I'll finally watch it, with the recommendations here.

I just watched this movie (bought it for my boyfriend--long story) and it says on here that Robin Williams was in it, but we did not see him during the movie. Any idea what skit he played in?

Code Red DVD announced that they are releasing this on DVD. No date has been set.

Code Red's release wont be out until way into 2008, they've only just started to go over the work print.

He was in only two skits. One, he played a lawyer questioning a lady on a witness stand -- the joke was that she was admitting to salacious sexual activity, just not on the date she was being accused on. The other skit RW played an illiterate man with a toothache. He goes to a doctor's office that has a large tooth over the door. The doctor informs him that he is not a dentist. "So why you got that big tooth over your door?" "I'm a proctologist, what should I hang over my door?"

I heard there were issues on RW being in this film after he gained some fame and his skits were removed from some prints. My VHS copy that I got in '88 or so has him in it.

...just read the "trivia" bit on this, and I don't believe that's right. I saw this at the theater in '78 or '79 and RW's name was boldly displayed on the marquee. I was a fan of Mork & Mindy, and he was the reason I wanted to see it.

I found it on VHS in the cheapo bin, but sorry: My copy isn't for sale!
