Has anyone seen this movie on vhs ever?
Has anyone ever seen this movie on vhs, or when it was in theatres origanally?
shareYes, I've seen this truly astonishing low-budget 70's laugh riot several times. I own a dupe of it on VHS. I would love it if this wonderfully wacky and wretched flick would come out on DVD already, but alas I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
shareThis is my first time ever hearing about this flick, and I thought I knew them all - all the good bad movies, that is. I'm getting a copy of it today. I can't wait to see it.
Which are your favorite scenes in this movie?
Where are all the good men dead, in the heart or in the head?
I could see Mondo Macabro picking this one up but have the distinct honor to own a Greek made VHS from the mid 1980s that is one of my most prized VHS possessions. The best scene has to be the fight by the pool, and I was amazed to learn that the corrupt police captain was none other than John Agar. This movie is a gem of political incorrectness waiting to be unleashed onto viewers who are fed up with liberal aggendized entertainment: I would love to send a copy of this to Barak Obama or Rosie O'donnel just because I know how offended they would be. Mr. No Legs kills without remorse and must still have a middle leg left over since he can still please a blond bombshell who obviously has a kink for cripples.
Ron Slinker, you are my new hero.
Dear squonk: NEWS AND NOTES: Tho I've not watched it yet I was able to locate the UK PAL release of "The Amazing Mr. No Legs" (what it's known as over there). It's on an obscure (and long-gone) label called Temple Video. Temple Video also released such movies (which I own!) as The Catamount Killing, Squeeze Play, Child of Love (with Dyan Cannon), The Good Time Outlaws (with Slim Pickens; may also be known as J.D. And The Salt Flat Kid), Dixie Dynamite and a real rarity called "The Haunting of M" (1981) which was never released in the U.S. on video -- or anywhere else it seems. Temple also released a couple other movies I don't have such as the Canadian movie Love Minus One, the movie Fantasies with Bo Derek, Getting Even which stars Wayne Crawford under an assumed name, the 1981 U.S. tv movie Kent State and some movie called Ganja Express which stars a lot of 1970's-'80s porn performers.
If you can play PAL tapes, and I'm assuming you can, check out >>>
www.pre-cert.co.uk if you don't know about it already. Fun!
ALSO, I have the 1977 movie RITUALS on the old Astral Video label. It's supposed to be un-cut on Astral, but since I've never watched the Embassy Video version though I have no way to compare the two tapes.
BY THE WAY . . . do you have any old Fotomat tapes in your collection? If so, which ones?
I have these old Fotomat tapes in my stockpile:
AMERICAN HOT WAX (1978)
FRATERNITY ROW (1977)
DEATH WISH (1974)
PRETTY BABY (1978)
ROCK AND ROLL SHOW, VOL. 1 with the Drifters, the Coasters, et al.
PSYCHIC (1978)
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (1974) on 2 tapes no less!
LOOKING FOR MISTER GOODBAR (1977) also on 2 tapes.
I was almost able to get BLACK SUNDAY (1977) on Fotomat in a 2-tape set -- but it turned out that both tapes were "Part 2". Ugh!!!
Still, how can one not like old Fotomats? Expecially those gray-and-black-striped boxes.
Not many of them around anymore, to be sure.
Luv AMERICAN HOT WAX. Fotomat Lives!
-CARTER GORMAN (Mad Video Collector of Astrals, Magnetics, Allied Artists Video Corp.'s, old VCI's, Electrics, Pan-Canadians, Fotomats, Vidcrests, Time-Life's, VCX's, AVC's, Temple's (PAL), 20th Century Foxes (PAL), MGM (PAL) and Lord knows what else . . . )
(P.S. I found CRASH!, the 1977 Charles Band movie, on VCL Video in the UK. I don't believe that was ever released in the U.S. on video, tho it's an American movie.
Warner Home Video UK also released fun stuff like WINDOWS, TRACKDOWN, HICKEY AND BOGGS (that DVD from A.I.P. Films Canada is dreadful. Boo! Hiss! It looks like they took it from the PAL tape), VIGILANTE FORCE, THE DOUBLE MAN and a few other movies that never got released here in the U.S.
If ya ever want a list of movies I have on a specific label just drop me a line.
