This is the greatest reynolds movie ever, yet no DVD=boo!!!


this is one of burt's best, if stroker ace can be available on dvd, then malone should be too. the pool cue beat down is a classic. burt totally went for the charlie bronson bad-ass role in malone, and it needs a dvd version so more people can see the greatness of this movie.

I also agree a, DVD -Release should be out now. One of Burt Reynolds best films

reply

Yes, they should release a DVD.

It should have special features like a commentary by Burt, and maybe "A day in the life of that fat Bullard after Malone worked him over with the two hand simultaneous ear slap"

I love the plan the two Delaney assassins make up when they pull up to the house/garage and make that girl pump gas while they plot: "One, maybe two minutes to the house..."

LOL

The movie is simply awesome. We got it off Ebay in VHS and watched that scene over and over. The girl yelling "MALONE", him jumping out of bed and coming up with guns blazing ... that scene alone makes Malone a classic.

The handle bar moustache transcends generations and makes life in 2006 worth living.

reply

Just saw it again on TV. Maybe the DVD is on the way.

reply

WIDESCREEN HD of "Malone" is at http://www.hulu.com/watch/14912/malone

Burt's hairpiece is particularly good in this movie and deserved an oscar.

reply

You can download a copy. Its dvd quality. But not HD obviously, but if you have a computer
Hooked to your tv, you can watch it. I will check this link if someone wants it.

reply

This should be a definite candidate for a DVD release. Not just one of Burt's best, but a fine example of the genre.


You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!

reply

at least put it to a vote!



We have a pool and a pond...pond be good for you.

I'm amazed that this is another title with Burt Reynolds that is not available in the US. I was born in 67 so you can figure out my age and I grew up watching his movies.
Here in Germany a Blu-Ray is available, here the link to Amazon.

I truly hope every post here is just sarcasm and your all joking.... I'm surprised it made it to tape......

This is the greatest reynolds movie ever,
Arh c'mon guys, you can't be serious!?


It's a nice little flick, good action for its time, and the classic "lone wolf" theme work's good, so it is watchable, but it's definitely not his best movie ever.

He made better movies, or have you forgotten:

"Deliverance"?

"White Lightning"?

"The Longest Yard"?

"Sharky's Machine"?

Or "Boogie Nights" ?


which is all way better that "Malone" I think Reynolds IS a great actor and it IS too bad he didn't showed it some more, but I guess the big and fast money in those slapstick comedies meant more to him at the time - he had an expensive taste, and used a lot of money on Sex, Drugs(Booze) & Rock'n Roll!
